Ezekieli 2
1 Nake mũndũ ũcio akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, wĩrũgamie na magũrũ maku, ngwarĩrie.”
This was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw, and I fell upon my face, and I heard the voice of one that spoke. And he said to me: Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to thee.
2 O hĩndĩ ĩyo aanjaragĩria, Roho agĩtoonya thĩinĩ wakwa, akĩnjoya akĩndũgamia, na niĩ ngĩigua akĩnjarĩria.
And the spirit entered into me after that he spoke to me, and he set me upon my feet: and I heard him speaking to me,
3 Nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, nĩngũgũtũma kũrĩ andũ a Isiraeli, ũthiĩ kũrĩ rũrĩrĩ rũu rũremu, o rũu rũnemeire; ruo rwene o na maithe maaruo rũtũũrĩte rũregete kũnjathĩkĩra nginya ũmũthĩ.
And saying: Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious people, that hath revolted from me, they, and their fathers, have transgressed my covenant even unto this day.
4 Andũ acio ndĩragũtũma kũrĩ o-rĩ, nĩmanyũmĩirie ngoro na makaangʼathĩria. Meere atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova aroiga.’
And they to whom I send thee are children of a hard face, and of an obstinate heart: and thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord God:
5 Na rĩrĩ, andũ acio mangĩthikĩrĩria kana marege gũthikĩrĩria, nĩgũkorwo nĩ andũ a nyũmba ya ũremi, nĩmakamenya atĩ nĩhakoretwo na mũnabii gatagatĩ-inĩ kao.
If so be they at least will hear, and if so be they will forbear, for they are a provoking house: and they shall know that there hath been a prophet in the midst of them.
6 Nawe mũrũ wa mũndũ-rĩ, ndũkametigĩre kana wĩtigĩre ciugo ciao. Ndũgetigĩre, o na akorwo congʼe na mĩigua nĩcigũthiũrũrũkĩirie, na ũikaraga gatagatĩ ga tũngʼaurũ. Ndũgetigĩre ũrĩa mekuuga kana ũmakio nĩo, o na akorwo nĩ andũ a nyũmba ya ũremi.
And thou, O son of man, fear not, neither be thou afraid of their words: for thou art among unbelievers and destroyers, and thou dwellest with scorpions. Fear not their words, neither be thou dismayed at their looks: for they are a provoking house.
7 No nginya ũmaarĩrie na ciugo ciakwa, kana nĩmegũthikĩrĩria kana matigũthikĩrĩria, nĩ ũndũ nĩ aremi.
And thou shalt speak my words to them, if perhaps they will hear, and forbear: for they provoke me to anger.
8 No wee mũrũ wa mũndũ-rĩ, thikĩrĩria ũrĩa ngũkwĩra. Ndũkareme ta nyũmba ĩyo ya ũremi; athamia kanua gaku na ũrĩe kĩrĩa ngũkũhe.”
But thou, O son of man, hear all that I say to thee: and do not thou provoke me, as that house provoketh me: open thy mouth, and eat what I give thee.
9 Ngĩcooka ngĩcũthĩrĩria, ngĩona ndaambũrũkĩirio guoko. Guoko kũu kwanyiitĩte ibuku rĩa gĩkũnjo,
And I looked, and behold, a hand was sent to me, wherein was a book rolled up:
10 nake akĩrĩkũnjũrĩra hau mbere yakwa. Narĩo rĩandĩkĩtwo ciugo cia macakaya mĩena yeerĩ, na cia kĩrĩro, o na cia kĩeha.
and he spread it before me, and it was written within and without: and there were written in it lamentations, and canticles, and woe.
