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 day of the month, the word of YHWH 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 your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him and against 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 says YHWH: "Look, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great monster that lies in the midst of his rivers, that has said, 'My river is my own, and I have 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.
I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will make the fish of your rivers stick to your scales; and I will bring you up out of the midst of your rivers, with all the fish of your rivers which stick to your 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.
I'll cast you forth into the wilderness, you and all the fish of your rivers. You'll fall on the open field. You won't be brought together, nor gathered. I have given you for food to the animals of the earth and to the birds of the sky.
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.
All the inhabitants of Egypt will know that I am YHWH, 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 you with their hand, you splintered and dislocated their shoulders; and when they leaned on you, you shattered and caused their legs to be unsteady."
8 “‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Nĩngakũrehithĩria rũhiũ rwa njora rũgũũkĩrĩre na rũũrage andũ aku na mahiũ mao.
"'Therefore thus says YHWH: "Look, I will bring a sword on you, and will cut off man and animal from you.
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,”
The land of Egypt shall be a desolation and a waste; and they shall know that I am YHWH. Because he has said, 'The river is mine, and I have 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, look, I am against you, and against your rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt an utter waste and desolation, from the tower of Syene even to 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 foot of animal shall pass through it, neither 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.
I will make the land of Egypt a desolation in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be 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.
"'For thus says YHWH: "At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the peoples where 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 bring back the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their birth; and they shall be there 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 base of the kingdoms; neither shall it any more lift itself up above the nations: and I will diminish them, 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.’”
It shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing iniquity to memory, when they turn to look after them: and they shall know that I am YHWH."'"
17 Mwaka-inĩ wa mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na mũgwanja, mũthenya wa mbere wa mweri wa mbere, kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
It came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of YHWH 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, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was worn; yet had he no wages, nor his army, from Tyre, 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 says YHWH: 'Look, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon; and he shall carry off her multitude, and take 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 as his recompense for which he served, because they worked for me,' says YHWH.
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 a horn to bud forth to the house of Israel, and I will give you the opening of the mouth in their midst; and they shall know that I am YHWH.'"
