Ezekieli 26
1 Mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ũmwe, mũthenya wa mbere wa mweri, kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
On the first day of the month of the eleventh year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, tondũ Turo riugĩte atĩrĩ ũhoro wa Jerusalemu, ‘Aha! Kĩhingo gĩa gũtoonya kwa ndũrĩrĩ nĩkiunange, na niĩ ngahingũrĩrwo mĩrango yarĩo; rĩu tondũ nĩ kwanangĩtwo-rĩ, nĩngũgaacĩra,’
“Son of man, because Tyre said about Jerusalem, ‘Oh good! The trade gateway to the nations has been broken—it's swung wide open for me. Now that Jerusalem has been destroyed, I will be rich!’
3 nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mwathani Jehova oigĩte ũũ: Nĩngũgũũkĩrĩra wee Turo, na nĩngarehe ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ igũũkĩrĩre, ta iria rĩgĩikia makũmbĩ marĩo na igũrũ.
this is why the Lord God says: Watch out, Tyre! I'm condemning you, and I will have many nations come and attack you, just like the sea that sends its waves crashing against the shore.
4 Nĩmakananga thingo cia Turo, na mamomore mĩthiringo yarĩo ĩrĩa mĩraihu na igũrũ; nĩngate kagoto karĩo na ndĩgũtue rwaro rwa ihiga itheri.
They will destroy the walls of Tyre and tear down her towers. I will scrape off the soil that's on her and turn her into a bare rock.
5 Kũu iria-inĩ gũgaatuĩka kũndũ gwa gũtambũrũkĩria nga cia gũtega thamaki, nĩgũkorwo ũhoro ũcio nĩ niĩ njarĩtie, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga. Narĩo itũũra rĩu rĩgaatuĩka rĩa gũtahwo nĩ ndũrĩrĩ,
Out there in the sea she will be just a place for fishermen to spread their nets. I have spoken, declares the Lord God. Other nations will come and loot her,
6 nakuo kũndũ kwarĩo kũrĩa gũtũũragwo kũu bũrũri-thĩinĩ nĩgũkaniinwo na rũhiũ rwa njora. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
and the people living in her villages on the mainland will die by the sword. Then they will know that I am the Lord.
7 “Nĩgũkorwo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Kuuma mwena wa gathigathini nĩngarehe Nebukadinezaru, mũthamaki wa Babuloni, mũthamaki wa athamaki, okĩrĩre Turo arĩ na mbarathi, na ngaari cia ita, na ahaici a mbarathi, na mbũtũ nene ya ita.
For this is what the Lord God says: Watch as I bring Nebuchadnezzar, king of kings, to attack Tyre from the north. He will come with horses, chariots, cavalry, and a huge army.
8 Nĩakananga kũndũ gwaku gwa gũtũũrwo kũu bũrũri-inĩ na rũhiũ rwa njora, na arute wĩra wa gũkũrigiicĩria, agũũkĩrĩre, aakithie ihumbu nginya thingo-inĩ ciaku, na ambararie ngo ciake agũũkĩrĩre.
He will kill the people living in your villages of the mainland with the sword. He will construct siege works to attack you. He will build a ramp against your walls, and his soldiers will hold their shields above them as they advance on you.
9 Nĩakoonereria nditi ya mĩgogo amomore thingo ciaku, na amomore mĩthiringo yaku ĩrĩa mĩraihu na igũrũ na indo ciake cia mbaara.
He will have his battering rams smash your walls and use his tools to demolish your towers.
10 Mbarathi ciake igaakorwo irĩ nyingĩ ũũ atĩ nĩigagũthika na rũkũngũ. Thingo ciaku nĩikainaina nĩ ũndũ wa inegene rĩa mbarathi cia mbaara, na makaari, na ngaari cia ita hĩndĩ ĩrĩa agaatoonyera ihingo-inĩ ciaku ta ũrĩa andũ matoonyaga itũũra inene rĩrĩa thingo imomoretwo.
He will have so many horses you will be covered by the dust they throw up. When he comes in through your gates it will sound like an army charging into a defeated city. Your walls will shake from all the noise made by the cavalry, wagons, and chariots.
11 Mahũngũ ma mbarathi ciake nĩmakaranga njĩra ciaku ciothe; nĩakooraga andũ aku na rũhiũ rwa njora, nacio itugĩ ciaku cia hinya nĩikaagũa thĩ.
His horses will race through your city streets. He will kill all your people with the sword. Your massive pillars will come tumbling to the ground.
12 Nĩmagagũtaha ũtonga waku na magũtunye indo ciaku cia wonjoria; nĩmakamomora thingo ciaku na matharie nyũmba ciaku iria njega, na maikie mahiga maku, na mbaũ, o na kagoto iria-inĩ.
They will steal your wealth and loot your goods. They will knock down your walls, demolish the houses you love so much, and dump the debris and rubble into the sea.
13 Nĩngakinyia inegene rĩa nyĩmbo ciaku mũthia, na mũgambo wa inanda ciaku cia mũgeeto ndũkaiguuo rĩngĩ.
This is how I'm going to put a stop to your singing. The music of your harps won't be heard any longer.
14 Nĩngatũma ũtuĩke rwaro rwa ihiga itheri, na nĩũgatuĩka handũ ha gũtambũrũkĩrio nga cia gũtega thamaki. Ndũgacooka gwakwo rĩngĩ, nĩ ũndũ niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ njarĩtie ũhoro ũcio, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
I will turn you into a bare rock, and you will be just a place for fishermen to spread their nets. Tyre won't ever be rebuilt. I, the Lord, have spoken, declares the Lord God.
15 “Mwathani Jehova ekwĩra Turo atĩrĩ: Mabũrũri marĩa marĩ ndwere-inĩ cia iria githĩ matikainaina nĩ mũrurumo wa kũgũa gwaku, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa arĩa magurarĩtio magaacaaya, nayo njũragano yũraganwo thĩinĩ waku?
This is what the Lord God says to the inhabitants of Tyre: Aren't the people of the coastlands going to shake in terror when they hear your city collapse, when the wounded groan at the killing inside your city?
16 Ningĩ anene othe arĩa marĩ ndwere-inĩ cia iria nĩmakehera itĩ-inĩ ciao cia ũnene, na marute nguo ciao iria ndaaya, na marute nguo ciao iria ngʼemie. Mahumbĩtwo kĩmako, magaikara thĩ makĩinainaga mahinda mothe, maguoyohetio nĩwe.
All the rulers of the coastlands will come down from their thrones, remove their royal robes, and take off their embroidered clothes. Instead they will be clothed with terror and sit on the ground, trembling the whole time, shocked at what's happened to you.
17 Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakoerera icakaya rĩgũkoniĩ, makwĩre atĩrĩ: “‘Kaĩ ũrĩ mwanange-ĩ, o wee itũũra rĩrĩ igweta, o wee watũũragwo nĩ andũ arĩa maathiiaga iria-inĩ-ĩ! Wee nĩwe warĩ na ũhoti kũu iria-inĩ, wee na atũũri aku; nĩwatũmaga arĩa othe maatũũraga kuo manyiitwo nĩ guoya.
Then they will sing a funeral song for you, saying, ‘You've been destroyed so completely, famous city! You once ruled the sea—you and your people terrified everyone else!
18 Rĩu-rĩ, mabũrũri marĩa marĩ ndwere-inĩ cia iria nĩmakainaina mũthenya wa kũgũa gwaku; icigĩrĩra cia iria-inĩ nĩikamakio nĩ kũmomoka gwaku.’
Now the people of the coastlands tremble at your defeat, while those in the islands of the sea are horrified at your downfall.’
19 “Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ngaatũma ũtuĩke itũũra inene rĩtiganĩirio, ũhaane ta matũũra manene marĩa matatũũragwo, na hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ngaareka ũriku wa iria ũkũhumbĩre, naguo ũingĩ wa maaĩ marĩo ũgũthike-rĩ,
For this is what the Lord God says: I will turn you into a ruin just like other uninhabited cities. I will have the sea rise up to cover you with deep water.
20 hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo ngaagũikũrũkia hamwe na arĩa maikũrũkagio irima-inĩ harĩ andũ arĩa a tene. Nĩngatũma ũtũũre mũhuro wa thĩ, ta kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũrĩte gũkirĩte ihooru o kuuma tene, hamwe na arĩa maikũrũkagio irima-inĩ, nawe ndũgacooka kana ũikare gũkũ bũrũri-inĩ wa arĩa marĩ muoyo.
I will bring you down with those who are headed to the grave to join people from long ago. I will make you live under the earth like the ruins of the past together with those who have gone down into the grave, so that no one will live in you and you won't have any place in the land of the living.
21 Nĩngatũma ũrĩkĩrĩrie na kĩmako kĩnene, nawe ndũgacooka kuonwo rĩngĩ. Ũgaacaragio na ndũgacooka kuoneka, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.”
I will turn you into something horrific, and you won't exist any longer. People will look for you, but won't ever find you, declares the Lord God.”
