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, the tenth month, the eleventh day of the month, the word of the Lord came to 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 Pharao king of Egypt: and thou shalt prophesy of him, and of all 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 God: Behold, I come against thee, Pharao king of Egypt, thou great dragon that liest in the midst of thy rivers, and sayest: The river is mine, and I made 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.
But I will put a bridle in thy jaws: and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick to thy scales: and I will draw thee out of the midst of thy rivers, and all thy fish shall stick to 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 forth into the desert, and all the fish of thy river: thou shalt fall upon the face of the earth, thou shalt not be taken up, nor gathered together: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the earth, and to the fowls of the air.
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 the Lord: because thou hast been a staff of a 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 with the hand thou didst break, and rent all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brokest, and weakenest all their loins.
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 God: Behold, I will bring the sword upon thee: and cut off man and beast out of 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 become a desert, and a wilderness: and they shall know that I am the Lord: because thou hast said: 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 come against thee, and thy rivers: and I will make the land of Egypt utterly desolate, and wasted by the sword, from the tower of Syene, even to the borders of Ethiopia.
11 Gũtirĩ ikinya rĩa mũndũ kana rĩa nyamũ rĩgaatuĩkanĩria kuo; gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgaatũũra kuo ihinda rĩa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩna.
The foot of man shall not pass through it, neither shall the foot of beasts go through it: nor shall it be inhabited during 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 desolate in the midst of the lands that are desolate, and the cities thereof in the midst of the cities that are destroyed, and they shall be desolate for 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.
For thus saith the Lord God: At the end of forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the people among whom they had been 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 bring back the captivity of Egypt, and will place them in the land of Phatures, in the land of their nativity, and they shall be there a low 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 lowest among other kingdoms, and it shall no more be exalted over the nations, and I will diminish them that they shall rule no more 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 they shall be no more a confidence to the house of Israel, teaching iniquity, that they may flee, and follow them: and they shall know that I am the Lord God.
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 seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first of the month: that the word of the Lord came to 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, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon hath made his army to undergo hard service against Tyre: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: and there hath been no reward given him, nor his army for Tyre, for the service that he rendered me 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 God: Behold, I will set Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon in the land of Egypt: and he shall take her multitude, and take the booty thereof for a prey, and rifle the spoils thereof: and it shall be 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.
And for the service that he hath done me against it: I have given him the land of Egypt, because he hath laboured for me, saith the Lord God.
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 a horn shall bud forth to the house of Israel, and I will give thee an open mouth in the midst of them: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
