< Ezekieli 29 >
1 Na rĩrĩ, mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi, mweri wa ikũmi, mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ wa mweri wa ikũmi, kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
In the tenth year, in the tenth [month], on the twelfth of the month, the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
2 “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, erekeria ũthiũ waku kũrĩ Firaũni mũthamaki wa Misiri, ũmũũkĩrĩre, na ũmũrathĩre ũhoro wa kũmũũkĩrĩra na wa gũũkĩrĩra bũrũri wothe wa Misiri.
Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against the whole of Egypt;
3 Mwarĩrie ũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: “‘Nĩngũgũũkĩrĩra, wee Firaũni mũthamaki wa Misiri, o wee nyamũ ĩno nene ũkomete tũrũũĩ-inĩ twaku. Uugaga atĩrĩ, “Nili nĩ rũũĩ rwakwa; nĩ niĩ ndarũthondekire nĩ ũndũ wakwa.”
speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which saith, My river is mine own, and I made it for myself.
4 No nĩngagwĩkĩra ndwano thĩa-inĩ ciaku, na ndũme thamaki cia tũrũũĩ twaku ciĩgwatĩrĩre ngũcĩ-inĩ ciaku. Nĩngakũguucia ngũrute tũrũũĩ-inĩ twaku, hamwe na thamaki ciothe iria ciĩgwatĩrĩire ngũcĩ-inĩ ciaku.
And I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales;
5 Nĩngagũtiga werũ-inĩ, wee, hamwe na thamaki ciothe cia tũrũũĩ twaku. Nĩũkagũa kũu werũ-inĩ, na ndũkoererwo kana ũnganio. Ngaakũneana ũtuĩke irio cia nyamũ cia gĩthaka, na nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ.
and I will cast thee into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open field; thou shalt not be brought together nor gathered: I will give thee for meat to the beasts of the earth and to the fowl of the heavens.
6 Hĩndĩ ĩyo arĩa othe matũũraga bũrũri wa Misiri nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova. “‘Wee ũkoretwo ũrĩ mũthĩgi wa kamũrangi wa gũtiira nyũmba ya Isiraeli.
And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I [am] Jehovah, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
7 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maakũnyiitire na moko mao-rĩ, nĩwatũkangire, na ũgĩtarũranga ciande ciao; hĩndĩ ĩrĩa meetiiranirie nawe-rĩ, nĩwoinĩkangire, nayo mĩgongo yao ĩkĩgonyoka.
When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst give way and rend all their shoulder; and when they leaned upon thee, thou didst break, and didst make all their loins to tremble.
8 “‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Nĩngakũrehithĩria rũhiũ rwa njora rũgũũkĩrĩre na rũũrage andũ aku na mahiũ mao.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast from thee.
9 Misiri gũgaatuĩka bũrũri mũtiganĩrie, ũgakira ihooru. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova. “‘Tondũ wee woigire atĩrĩ, “Rũũĩ rwa Nili nĩ rwakwa; nĩ niĩ ndarũthondekire,”
And the land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste: and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah, because he saith, The river is mine, and I made it.
10 nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngũgũũkĩrĩra na njũkĩrĩre tũrũũĩ twaku, na nĩngatũma bũrũri wa Misiri wanangĩke na ũkire ihooru, kuuma Migidoli nginya Aswani, o na nginya mũhaka-inĩ wa Kushi.
Therefore behold, I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt deserts of wasteness and desolation, from Migdol to Syene, even unto the border of Ethiopia.
11 Gũtirĩ ikinya rĩa mũndũ kana rĩa nyamũ rĩgaatuĩkanĩria kuo; gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgaatũũra kuo ihinda rĩa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna.
No foot of man shall pass through it, nor shall foot of beast pass through it, nor shall it be inhabited, forty years.
12 Nĩngatũma bũrũri wa Misiri ũkire ihooru gatagatĩ-inĩ ka mabũrũri marĩa manangĩku, na matũũra maguo manene matiganĩrio mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna gatagatĩ ka matũũra manene marĩa manangĩku. Na nĩngahurunjĩra andũ a Misiri ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ, na ndĩmaharaganĩrie mabũrũri-inĩ.
And I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of the countries that are desolated, and her cities shall be, in the midst of the cities that are laid waste, a desolation forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
13 “‘No rĩrĩ, Mwathani Jehova oigĩte atĩrĩ: Mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna yathira-rĩ, nĩngacookanĩrĩria andũ a Misiri moime ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ iria maahurunjirwo.
Yet thus saith the Lord Jehovah: At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the peoples whither they were scattered;
14 Nao andũ arĩa maatahĩtwo a Misiri nĩngamacookia bũrũri wa Pathirosi, bũrũri ũrĩa wa maithe mao. Marĩ kũu magaatuĩka ũthamaki wĩnyiihĩtie.
and I will turn again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return to the land of Pathros, into the land of their birth, and they shall there be a base kingdom.
15 Ũgaakorwo wĩnyiihĩtie gũkĩra mothamaki mothe, na ndũgacooka rĩngĩ gwĩtũũgĩria igũrũ rĩa ndũrĩrĩ iria ingĩ. Nĩ niĩ ngaawagithia hinya ũũ atĩ ndũrĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ ũgaatha ndũrĩrĩ.
It shall be the basest of kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations; and I will diminish them, so that they shall no more rule over the nations.
16 Bũrũri wa Misiri ndũgacooka gũtuĩka mwĩhoko wa andũ a Isiraeli, no ũgaatũĩka kĩririkania kĩa mehia mao ma gũcaria ũteithio kuo. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Mwathani Jehova.’”
And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing iniquity to remembrance, when they turn after them: and they shall know that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.
17 Mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na mũgwanja, mũthenya wa mbere wa mweri wa mbere, kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
And it came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, in the first [month], on the first of the month, [that] the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
18 “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, Nebukadinezaru, mũthamaki wa Babuloni, nĩatũmire mbũtũ ciake cia ita ciũkĩrĩre Turo na ihũũra inene; o mũtwe nĩwamunyirwo njuĩrĩ, na o kĩande gĩgĩcũnũrwo. No rĩrĩ, we mwene o na ita rĩake matiarĩhirwo kĩndũ nĩ ũndũ wa mbaara ĩyo aarũithirie ya gũũkĩrĩra Turo.
Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to do hard service against Tyre; every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he from Tyre no wages, nor his army, for the service that he had served against it.
19 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Nĩngũneana bũrũri wa Misiri harĩ Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni, na nĩagakuua ũtonga wakuo. Agaatunyana na atahe indo cia bũrũri ũcio, ituĩke cia kũrĩha mbũtũ ciake cia ita.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall carry away her multitude, and seize her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.
20 Nĩndĩmũheete bũrũri wa Misiri ũtuĩke kĩheo gĩa kĩyo gĩake, tondũ we na mbũtũ ciake cia ita meekire ũguo nĩ ũndũ wakwa, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord Jehovah.
21 “Mũthenya ũcio, nĩngatũma nyũmba ya Isiraeli ĩmerie rũhĩa, na ndumũre kanua gaku thĩinĩ wao. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.”
In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them: and they shall know that I [am] Jehovah.
