Ezekieli 26
1 Mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ũmwe, mũthenya wa mbere wa mweri, kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
So it was in the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, that the word of Yahweh 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 has said against Jerusalem, 'Aha! The gates of the people are broken! She has turned to me; I will be filled up because she is ruined.'
3 nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mwathani Jehova oigĩte ũũ: Nĩngũgũũkĩrĩra wee Turo, na nĩngarehe ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ igũũkĩrĩre, ta iria rĩgĩikia makũmbĩ marĩo na igũrũ.
Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold! I am against you, Tyre, and I will raise up many nations against you like the sea raises its waves.
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 sweep her dust away and make her like 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,
She will become a place for nets to dry out in the midst of the sea, since I have declared it—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—and she will become plunder for the nations.
6 nakuo kũndũ kwarĩo kũrĩa gũtũũragwo kũu bũrũri-thĩinĩ nĩgũkaniinwo na rũhiũ rwa njora. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
Her daughters who are in the fields will be slaughtered by the swords, and they will know that I am Yahweh.'
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 Yahweh says: Behold, from the north I am bringing Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, against Tyre, with horses and chariots, and with horsemen and a great many people.
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 your daughters in the field. He will set up a siege work and build a ramp against your walls and raise up shields against you.
9 Nĩakoonereria nditi ya mĩgogo amomore thingo ciaku, na amomore mĩthiringo yaku ĩrĩa mĩraihu na igũrũ na indo ciake cia mbaara.
He will place his battering rams to hit against your walls, and his tools will tear down 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.
His horses will be so many that their dust will cover you. Your walls will shake with the sound of horsemen, wagons, and chariots. When he enters your gates, he will enter as men come into a city whose walls have been broken down.
11 Mahũngũ ma mbarathi ciake nĩmakaranga njĩra ciaku ciothe; nĩakooraga andũ aku na rũhiũ rwa njora, nacio itugĩ ciaku cia hinya nĩikaagũa thĩ.
The hooves of his horses will trample all of your streets. He will kill your people with the sword and your mighty stone pillars will fall 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 plunder your riches and loot your merchandise. They will tear down your walls and destroy your luxurious homes. Your stones, your timber, and the rubble they will throw into the waters.
13 Nĩngakinyia inegene rĩa nyĩmbo ciaku mũthia, na mũgambo wa inanda ciaku cia mũgeeto ndũkaiguuo rĩngĩ.
I will stop the noise of your songs. The sound of your harps will be heard no more.
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 make you a bare rock, you will become a place where nets are spread out to dry. You will never be built again, for I, Lord Yahweh have spoken—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.
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?
The Lord Yahweh says this to Tyre, 'Will not the islands quake with the sound of your downfall, and with the groans of the wounded when the terrible slaughter is in your midst?
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.
Then all the princes of the sea will step down from their thrones and remove their robes and cast off their embroidered garments. They will clothe themselves with trembling, they will sit on the ground and tremble every moment, and they will be appalled because of 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.
They will lift up a lament for you and say to you, How you, who were inhabited by sailors, have been destroyed. The famous city that was so strong—it is now gone from the sea. The ones living in her once spread a terror about themselves upon everyone who lived near them.
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 coasts tremble on the day of your downfall. The islands in the sea are terrified, because you are no longer in your place.'
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 the Lord Yahweh says this: When I make you a desolate city, like the other cities that are not inhabited, when I raise up the deeps against you, and when the great waters cover you,
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.
then I will bring you down to the people of ancient times, like the others who have gone down into the pit; for I will make you live in the lowest realms of the earth as in ruins of ancient times. Because of this you will not come back and stand 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 place disaster on you, and you will be no more forever. Then you will be sought, but you will never be found ever again—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”
