Ezekieli 3
1 Nake mũndũ ũcio akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, rĩa kĩrĩa kĩrĩ mbere yaku, rĩa ibuku rĩĩrĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo; ũcooke ũthiĩ ũkaarĩrie andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli.”
Moreover he saide vnto me, Sonne of man, eate that thou findest: eate this roule, and goe, and speake vnto the house of Israel.
2 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩathamia kanua, nake akĩĩhe ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo ndĩrĩrĩe.
So I opened my mouth, and he gaue mee this roule to eate.
3 Ningĩ akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, rĩa ibuku rĩĩrĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo ndĩrakũhe ũiyũrie nda yaku.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩrĩrĩa, na rĩrĩ kanua-inĩ gakwa rĩarĩ na mũrĩo ta ũũkĩ.
And he said vnto me, Sonne of man, cause thy belly to eate, and fill thy bowels with this roule that I giue thee. Then did I eate it, and it was in my mouth as sweete as honie.
4 Ningĩ agĩcooka akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ: “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, thiĩ o rĩu kũrĩ andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli ũmaarĩrie ciugo ciakwa.
And he said vnto me, Sonne of man, goe, and enter into the house of Israel, and declare them my wordes.
5 Ndũratũmwo kũrĩ andũ a mwarĩrie ũtooĩ kana rũthiomi rũritũ, no nĩ kũrĩ andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli;
For thou art not sent to a people of an vnknowen tongue, or of an hard language, but to the house of Israel,
6 ti kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ iria ciaragia mwarĩrie ũtooĩ kana rũthiomi rũritũ, kana rũrĩ na ciugo iria ũtangĩmenya. Ti-itherũ, korwo nĩndagũtũmĩte kũrĩ o, nĩmangĩagũthikĩrĩirie.
Not to many people of an vnknowen tongue, or of an harde language, whose wordes thou canst not vnderstand: yet if I should sende thee to them, they would obey thee.
7 No rĩrĩ, andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli matingĩenda gũkũigua, nĩ ũndũ matiendaga kũnjigua, nĩgũkorwo nyũmba yothe ya Isiraeli nĩyũmĩtie ngoro na ĩkangʼathia.
But the house of Israel will not obey thee: for they will not obey me: yea, all the house of Israel are impudent and stiffe hearted.
8 No rĩrĩ, niĩ ngũtũma wage kuororoa na ũũmie ngoro o ta o.
Beholde, I haue made thy face strong against their faces, and thy forehead harde against their foreheads.
9 Nĩngũtũma gĩthiithi gĩaku kĩũme ta ihiga rĩrĩa rĩũmũ mũno, rĩrĩa rĩũmũ gũkĩra ihiga rĩa nyaigĩ. Ndũkametigĩre kana ũmakio nĩo, o na akorwo nĩ a nyũmba ya ũremi.”
I haue made thy forehead as the adamant, and harder then the flint: feare them not therefore, neither be afraid at their lookes: for they are a rebellious house.
10 Ningĩ akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, thikĩrĩria wega na wĩkĩre ciugo iria ciothe ngũkwarĩria ngoro-inĩ.
He said moreouer vnto me, Sonne of man, receiue in thine heart al my words that I speake vnto thee, and heare them with thine eares,
11 Thiĩ o rĩu kũrĩ andũ anyu arĩa matahĩtwo warie nao. Meere atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga,’ kana nĩmegũthikĩrĩria kana matigũthikĩrĩria.”
And goe and enter to them that are led away captiues vnto the children of thy people, and speake vnto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord God: but surely they will not heare, neither will they in deede cease.
12 Ningĩ Roho akĩnjoya na igũrũ, na ngĩigua mũgambo mũnene thuutha wakwa ũkĩruruma. (Riiri wa Jehova ũrogoocwo arĩ o kũu gĩikaro-inĩ gĩake!)
Then the spirite tooke me vp, and I heard behinde me a noise of a great russhing, saying, Blessed be ye glorie of the Lord out of his place.
13 Naguo warĩ mũgambo wa mathagu ma ciũmbe icio irĩ muoyo makĩhutania mo mene, na wa magũrũ ma ngaari marĩa maarĩ mĩena yacio, naguo warĩ mũgambo mũnene warurumaga.
I heard also the noyse of the wings of the beasts, that touched one another, and the ratling of the wheeles that were by them, euen a noyse of a great russhing.
14 Roho agĩcooka akĩnjoya na igũrũ akĩnjeheria, na niĩ ngĩthiĩ ndĩ na marũrũ na marakara ngoro-inĩ, nakuo guoko kwa Jehova kũrĩa kwa hinya kwarĩ igũrũ rĩakwa.
So the spirit lift me vp, and tooke me away and I went in bitternesse, and indignation of my spirite, but the hand of the Lord was strong vpon me.
15 Ngĩkinya kũrĩ arĩa maatahĩtwo, arĩa maatũũraga kũu Teli-Abibu, gũkuhĩ na Rũũĩ rwa Kebari, na ngĩikarania nao kwa ihinda rĩa mĩthenya mũgwanja, makĩte mũno.
Then I came to them that were led away captiues to Tel-abib, that dwelt by the riuer Chebar, and I sate where they sate, and remained there astonished among them seuen dayes.
16 Thuutha wa mĩthenya ĩyo mũgwanja-rĩ, kiugo kĩa Jehova gĩkĩnginyĩrĩra, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
And at the ende of seuen dayes, the worde of the Lord came againe vnto me, saying,
17 “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, nĩngũtuĩte mũrangĩri wa andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli, nĩ ũndũ ũcio igua kiugo kĩrĩa ngwaria, na ũmeere ũrĩa ndĩramakaania.
Sonne of man, I haue made thee a watchman vnto the house of Israel: therefore heare the worde at my mouth, and giue them warning from me.
18 Rĩrĩa ngwĩra mũndũ mwaganu atĩrĩ, ‘Ti-itherũ, nĩũgaakua,’ nawe wage kũmũkaania, kana kũmwarĩria atigane na mĩthiĩre yake ya waganu nĩguo ahonokie muoyo wake-rĩ, mũndũ ũcio mwaganu nĩagaakua nĩ ũndũ wa mehia make, nawe nĩwe ngooria thakame yake.
When I shall say vnto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die, and thou giuest not him warning, nor speakest to admonish the wicked of his wicked way, that he may liue, the same wicked man shall die in his iniquitie: but his blood will I require at thine hande.
19 No wee ũngĩkaania mũndũ ũcio mwaganu, nake arege kũgarũrũka atigane na waganu wake kana mĩthiĩre yake mĩũru-rĩ, we nĩagaakua nĩ ũndũ wa mehia make; no wee-rĩ, nĩũgaakorwo ũhonoketie muoyo waku.
Yet if thou warne the wicked, and he turne not from his wickednesse, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquitie, but thou hast deliuered thy soule.
20 “Ningĩ-rĩ, mũndũ mũthingu angĩgarũrũka atigane na ũthingu wake eke maũndũ mooru, na niĩ ndĩmwĩkĩrĩre mũhĩnga mbere yake-rĩ, nĩagaakua. Kũngĩkorwo ndwamũkaanirie-rĩ, nĩagaakua nĩ ũndũ wa mehia make. Maũndũ marĩa aneeka ma ũthingu matikaaririkanwo, nawe nĩwe ngooria thakame yake.
Likewise if a righteous man turne from his righteousnesse, and commit iniquitie, I will lay a stumbling blocke before him, and he shall die, because thou hast not giuen him warning: he shall die in his sinne, and his righteous deedes, which he hath done, shall not be remembred: but his blood will I require at thine hand.
21 No rĩrĩ, wee ũngĩkaania mũndũ ũcio mũthingu atige kwĩhia, nake aage kwĩhia-rĩ, ti-itherũ nĩagatũũra muoyo nĩ ũndũ nĩathikĩrĩirie ũguo wamũkaanirie, nawe-rĩ, nĩũgaakorwo ũhonoketie muoyo waku.”
Neuerthelesse, if thou admonish that righteous man, that the righteous sinne not, and that he doeth not sinne, he shall liue because he is admonished: also thou hast deliuered thy soule.
22 Guoko kwa Jehova kwarĩ igũrũ rĩakwa ndĩ o kũu, nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Ũkĩra ũthiĩ werũ-inĩ ũrĩa mwaraganu, na kũu nĩkuo ngũkwarĩria.”
And the hande of the Lord was there vpon me, and he said vnto me, Arise, and goe into the fielde, and I will there talke with thee.
23 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩũkĩra ngĩthiĩ werũ-inĩ ũcio mwaraganu, naguo riiri wa Jehova warũngiĩ kuo, ũhaana ta riiri ũrĩa ndoonete hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia Rũũĩ rwa Kebari, na niĩ ngĩĩgũithia, ngĩturumithia ũthiũ thĩ.
So when I had risen vp, and gone foorth into the fielde, beholde, the glorie of the Lord stoode there, as the glorie which I sawe by the riuer Chebar, and I fell downe vpon my face.
24 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Roho agĩtoonya thĩinĩ wakwa, akĩnjoya akĩndũgamia na magũrũ makwa. Akĩnjarĩria, akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ũkehingĩre gwaku nyũmba.
Then the Spirit entred into me, which set me vp vpon my feete, and spake vnto me, and said to me, Come, and shut thy selfe within thine house.
25 No rĩrĩ, wee mũrũ-wa-mũndũ, nĩmagakuoha na mĩhĩndo; ũgaikara ũrĩ muohe nĩguo ndũkoime ũthiĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ.
But thou, O sonne of man, beholde, they shall put bandes vpon thee, and shall binde thee with them, and thou shalt not goe out among them.
26 Niĩ nĩngatũma rũrĩmĩ rwaku rũnyiitane na karakara nĩguo ũkire wage kũmanegenia, o na akorwo o nĩ andũ a nyũmba ya ũremi.
And I will make thy tongue cleaue to the roofe of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dume, and shalt not be to them as a man that rebuketh: for they are a rebellious house.
27 No rĩrĩa ngaakwarĩria-rĩ, nĩngakũhingũra kanua, nawe nĩũkameera ũũ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ.’ Ũrĩa wothe ũngĩthikĩrĩria nĩathikĩrĩrie, nake ũrĩa wothe ũkũrega nĩarege; nĩgũkorwo o nĩ andũ a nyũmba ya ũremi.
But when I shall haue spoken vnto thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, He that heareth, let him heare, and he that leaueth off, let him leaue: for they are a rebellious house.
