Ezekieli 22
1 Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, nĩũkũrĩtuĩra ciira? Nĩũgũtuĩra ciira itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene rĩitithagia thakame? Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rĩonie maũndũ marĩa mothe rĩĩkaga marĩ magigi,
And thou son of man, dost thou not judge, dost thou not judge the city of blood?
3 ũrĩĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Wee itũũra inene rĩrĩa rĩĩrehithagĩria mũtino nĩ ũndũ wa gũitithia thakame kũu thĩinĩ warĩo, na rĩgethaahia nĩ ũndũ wa gũthondeka mĩhianano,
And thou shalt shew her all her abominations, and shalt say: Thus saith the Lord God: This is the city that sheddeth blood in the midst of her, that her time may come: and that hath made idols against herself, to defile herself.
4 nĩũhĩtĩtie nĩ ũndũ wa thakame ĩrĩa ũitĩte, na nĩũthaahĩtio nĩ mĩhianano ĩrĩa ũthondekete. Nĩũtũmĩte matukũ maku makinye mũthia, o naguo mũthia wa mĩaka yaku nĩmũkinyu. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngatũma ũtuĩke kĩndũ kĩmeneku harĩ ndũrĩrĩ, na kĩndũ gĩa gũthekererwo nĩ mabũrũri macio mothe.
Thou art become guilty in thy blood which thou hast shed: and thou art defiled in thy idols which thou hast made: and thou hast made thy days to draw near, and hast brought on the time of thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach to the Gentiles, and a mockery to all countries.
5 Andũ arĩa marĩ gũkuhĩ na arĩa marĩ kũraya nĩmagakũnyũrũragia, wee itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene ũrĩ ngumo njũru, na ũkaiyũra ngũĩ.
Those that are near, and those that are far from thee, shall triumph over thee: thou filthy one, infamous, great in destruction.
6 “‘Ta rora ũrĩa o ũmwe wa athamaki a Isiraeli arĩa marĩ thĩinĩ waku ahũthagĩra hinya wake ũũru agĩitithia thakame.
Behold the princes of Israel, every one hath employed his arm in thee to shed blood.
7 Nĩmagithĩtie ithe wa ciana o na nyina gĩtĩĩo marĩ kũu thĩinĩ waku; na marĩ thĩinĩ waku nĩmahinyĩrĩirie ageni na makanyariira mwana ũrĩa ũkuĩrĩirwo nĩ ithe, o na mũtumia wa ndigwa.
They have abused father and mother in thee, they have oppressed the stranger in the midst of thee, they have grieved the fatherless and widow in thee.
8 Wee-rĩ, nĩũnyararĩte indo ciakwa iria nyamũre, o na ũgathaahia Thabatũ ciakwa.
Thou hast despised my sanctuaries, and profaned my sabbaths.
9 Kũu thĩinĩ waku nĩ kũrĩ andũ maiganagĩrĩra igenyo, na mendete ũiti wa thakame; na thĩinĩ waku nĩ kũrĩ andũ marĩĩaga irio mahooero ma irĩma-igũrũ, na mageeka ciĩko cia ũũra-thoni.
Slanderers have been in thee to shed blood, and they have eaten upon the mountains in thee, they have committed wickedness in the midst of thee.
10 Nĩ kũrĩ andũ thĩinĩ waku mataheaga ũrĩrĩ wa maithe mao gĩtĩĩo; na thĩinĩ waku nĩ kũrĩ andũ mathũkagia atumia nĩ ũndũ wa gũthiĩ nao mahinda-inĩ mao ma mweri, ihinda-inĩ rĩrĩa marĩ na thaahu.
They have discovered the nakedness of their father in thee, they have humbled the uncleanness of the menstruous woman in thee.
11 Kũu thĩinĩ waku nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ wĩkaga maũndũ marĩ magigi na mũtumia wa mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ, nake ũngĩ ndangĩconoka agĩthũkia mũtumia wa mũriũ, ũngĩ nake agathũkagia mwarĩ wa nyina, o ũcio mwarĩ wa ithe.
And every one hath committed abomination with his neighbour’s wife, and the father in law hath wickedly defiled his daughter in law, the brother hath oppressed his sister the daughter of his father in thee.
12 Andũ maamũkagĩra mahaki marĩ thĩinĩ waku nĩguo maite thakame; wee ũrĩ mũrĩa-ngʼũũrũ, na nĩwamũkagĩra uumithio mũkĩru, na ũkoona uumithio ũtarĩ kĩhooto kuuma kũrĩ andũ arĩa angĩ na njĩra ya ũhahanyi. Wee nĩũriganĩirwo nĩ niĩ, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
They have taken gifts in thee to shed blood: thou hast taken usury and increase, and hast covetously oppressed thy neighbours: and then hast forgotten me, saith the Lord God.
13 “‘Ti-itherũ nĩngahũũra hĩ nĩ ũndũ wa uumithio ũcio wonete ũtarĩ wa kĩhooto, na nĩ ũndũ wa thakame ĩrĩa ũitithĩtie kũu thĩinĩ waku.
Behold, I have clapped my hands at thy covetousness, which thou hast exercised and at the blood that hath been shed: In the midst of thee.
14 Mũthenya ũrĩa ngaakũherithia-rĩ ũmĩrĩru waku nĩũgetiiria, kana moko maku magĩe na hinya? Niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ njarĩtie ũhoro ũcio, na nĩ niĩ ngaawĩka.
Shall thy heart endure, or shall thy hands prevail ill the days which I will bring upon thee: I the Lord have spoken, and will do it.
15 Nĩngakũharaganĩria ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ, na ngũhurunjĩre mabũrũri-inĩ; na nĩngakinyia thaahu waku mũthia.
And I will disperse thee in the nations, and will scatter thee among the countries, and I will put an end to thy uncleanness in thee.
16 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa wee ũgaakorwo ũthaahĩte maitho-inĩ ma ndũrĩrĩ, nĩũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.’”
And I will possess thee in the sight of the Gentiles, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
17 Ningĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩkĩnginyĩrĩra, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
18 “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, harĩ niĩ-rĩ, andũ a nyũmba ĩno ya Isiraeli matuĩkĩte o ta gĩko kĩrĩa gĩtigaraga rĩrĩa cuuma ĩratherio na mwaki wa ũturi; acio othe matuĩkĩte o ta gĩcango, na ibati, na kĩgera, o na ngocorai marĩ mwaki-inĩ wa ũturi. O no ta gĩko kĩrĩa gĩtigaraga rĩrĩa betha ĩratherio na mwaki wa ũturi.
Son of man, the house of Israel is become dress to me: all these are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace: they are become the dress of silver.
19 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Tondũ inyuothe nĩmũtuĩkĩte gĩko kĩrĩa gĩtigaraga rĩrĩa cuuma ĩratherio na mwaki wa ũturi, nĩngamũcookanĩrĩria kũu Jerusalemu.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because you are all turned into dress, therefore behold I will gather you together in the midst of Jerusalem.
20 O ta ũrĩa andũ macookanagĩrĩria betha, na gĩcango, na kĩgera, na ngocorai, o na ibati icua-inĩ rĩa mwaki nĩguo itwekio na mwaki mũhiũ-rĩ, ũguo nĩguo o na niĩ ngaamũcookanĩrĩria ndĩ na marakara na mangʼũrĩ, na ndĩmũikie kũu thĩinĩ wa itũũra inene ndĩmũtwekerie kuo.
As they gather silver, and brass, and tin, and iron, and lead in the midst of the furnace: that I may kindle a fire in it to melt it: so will I gather you together in my fury and in my wrath, and will take my rest, and I will melt you down.
21 Nĩngamũcookanĩrĩria na ndĩmũhurutĩre na mangʼũrĩ makwa mahiũ, na inyuĩ nĩmũgatwekerio o kũu thĩinĩ warĩo.
And I will gather you together, and will burn you in the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in the midst thereof.
22 O ta ũrĩa betha ĩtwekagĩrio icua-inĩ rĩa mwaki, ũguo noguo o na inyuĩ mũgaatwekerio kũu thĩinĩ warĩo, na inyuĩ nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ ndĩmũitĩrĩirie mangʼũrĩ makwa.’”
As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall you be in the midst thereof: and you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have poured out my indignation upon you.
23 O rĩngĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
24 “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, ĩra bũrũri ũcio atĩrĩ, ‘Wee-rĩ, ũrĩ bũrũri ũkoretwo wagĩte mbura kana rũthuthuũ, mũthenya ũrĩa wa mangʼũrĩ.’
Son of man, say to her: Thou art a land that is unclean, and not rained upon in the day of wrath.
25 Nĩ kũrĩ na ndundu ya gũũkanĩrĩra ya anene akuo marĩ thĩinĩ waguo, nao matariĩ ta mũrũũthi ũkũrarama ũgĩtambuura kĩrĩa ũnyiitĩte; marĩĩaga andũ, na magakuua mĩthithũ na indo cia goro, na magatũma kũgĩe na atumia aingĩ a ndigwa thĩinĩ waguo.
There is a conspiracy of prophets in the midst thereof: like a lion that roareth and catcheth the prey, they have devoured souls, they have taken riches and hire, they have made many widows in the midst thereof.
26 Athĩnjĩri-Ngai akuo mahũthagĩra hinya makiuna watho wakwa, na magathaahia indo ciakwa iria nyamũre; matikũũranaga indo iria nyamũre na iria itarĩ nyamũre; marutanaga atĩ gũtirĩ ngũũrani ya indo irĩ thaahu na iria itarĩ thaahu; na mahingaga maitho matikamenyerere Thabatũ ciakwa, nĩguo ngarumagwo gatagatĩ-inĩ kao.
Her priests have despised my law, and have defiled my sanctuaries: they have put no difference between holy and profane: nor have distinguished between the polluted and the clean: and they have turned away their eyes from my sabbaths, and I was profaned in the midst of them.
27 Anene akuo arĩa marĩ kuo matariĩ ta njũũi igĩtambuura kĩrĩa inyiitĩte; maitaga thakame na makooraga andũ, nĩguo megwatĩre uumithio ũrĩa ũtagĩrĩire.
Her princes in the midst of her, are like wolves ravening the prey to shed blood, and to destroy souls, and to run after gains through covetousness.
28 Anabii akuo mamahakagĩra ciĩko icio coka mwerũ, na njĩra ya kũmoonera cioneki cia maheeni, na ũragũri wa maheeni. Moigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ’, o rĩrĩa Jehova atarĩ ũndũ oigĩte.
And her prophets have daubed them without tempering the mortar, seeing vain things, and divining lies unto them, saying: Thus saith the Lord God: when the Lord hath not spoken.
29 Andũ a bũrũri ũcio mahũthagĩra ũhahanyi na ũtunyani; mahinyagĩrĩria athĩĩni na abatari, na makanyariira andũ a kũngĩ, makamaagithia kĩhooto.
The people of the land have used oppression, and committed robbery: they afflicted the needy and poor, and they oppressed the stranger by calumny without judgment.
30 “Ndaacaririe mũndũ thĩinĩ wao ũngĩaka rũthingo na arũgame mbere yakwa mwanya-inĩ, agitĩre bũrũri ũcio, nĩguo ndikaũniine o kũũniina, no ndiigana kuona o na ũmwe.
And I sought among them for a man that might set up a hedge, and stand in the gap before me in favour of the land, that I might not destroy it: and I found none.
31 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngamaitĩrĩria mangʼũrĩ makwa, na ndĩmaniine na marakara makwa mahiũ, na ndĩmacookererie maũndũ marĩa mothe mekĩte, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.”
And I poured out my indignation upon them, in the fire of my wrath I consumed them: I have rendered their way upon their own head, saith the Lord God.
