Ezekieli 32
1 Mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ, mũthenya wa mbere wa mweri wa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ, kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
Almost twelve years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the twelfth month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, ambĩrĩria gũcakaĩra Firaũni, mũthamaki wa Misiri, ũmwĩre atĩrĩ: “‘Wee ũtariĩ ta mũrũũthi gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ; ũtariĩ o ta nyamũ nene ya iria-inĩ, ũkĩhũũra maaĩ kũu tũrũũĩ-inĩ twaku, na ũkiunjuga maaĩ na makinya maku-rĩ, ũgekĩra tũrũũĩ tũu ndooro.
“You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Egypt. Sing this to him: ‘You [think that you] [IRO] are like [SIM] a lion among the nations; or like [SIM] a monster/crocodile in the river thrashing around in the water, churning/stirring up the water with your feet and causing the water to become muddy.
3 “‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: “‘Nĩngagũikĩria wabu wakwa, ndĩ hamwe na kĩrĩndĩ kĩingĩ, nakĩo nĩgĩgakũguucũrũria na wabu ũcio wakwa.
But this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “I will send many people to throw my net over you, and they will haul/drag you up [onto the land] in my net.
4 Nĩngagũikia kũu bũrũri-inĩ, ngũnyugute werũ-inĩ ũtarĩ kĩndũ. Nĩngatũma nyoni ciothe cia rĩera-inĩ ikũũmbĩrĩre, nacio nyamũ ciothe cia gĩthaka ciĩhũũnĩrĩrie nawe.
They will throw you into a field [DOU] [to die]; I will allow the birds to sit on you, and all the wild animals will eat the flesh of your corpse until their stomachs are full.
5 Nĩngaragania nyama ciaku irĩma igũrũ, namo matigari maku ndĩmaiyũrie mĩkuru-inĩ.
I will cause them to scatter your flesh on the hills and fill the valleys with your bones.
6 Nĩngaiyũria thĩ na thakame yaku ĩyo ĩratherera o nginya irĩma-inĩ, nayo mĩkuru ĩiyũre nyama ciaku.
I will cause them to fill the land with your blood, all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.
7 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ngaakũhuhũkia-rĩ, nĩngahumbĩra igũrũ, nacio njata ndĩciĩkĩre nduma; nĩngahumbĩra riũa na itu, naguo mweri wage gũcooka kũruta ũtheri waguo.
When I get rid of you, I will cover the sky and not allow the stars to shine. I will put a dark cloud in front of the sun, and the moon will not shine.
8 Motheri mothe marĩa maaraga marĩ igũrũ nĩngatũma magũtuĩkĩre nduma; nĩngaiyũria bũrũri waku nduma, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
I will cause the stars in the sky to be dark, and there will be darkness over your entire land; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have said it.
9 Nĩngathĩĩnia ngoro cia andũ aingĩ, rĩrĩa ngaakũrehera wanangĩku ũrĩ kũu gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ, o kũu mabũrũri-inĩ marĩa ũtooĩ.
And when the people of many nations hear about your being destroyed, many of them will be afraid/worried— people living in countries that you have never known about.
10 Nĩngatũma ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ imakio nĩwe, nao athamaki a cio mainaine nĩ ũndũ wa gwĩtigĩra nĩ ũndũ waku, rĩrĩa ngaamahiũrĩria rũhiũ rwa njora. Mũthenya ũrĩa ũkaagũa, o mũndũ o mũndũ nĩakainaina ategũtigithĩria gwĩtigĩra nĩ ũndũ wa muoyo wake.
I will cause many people to be appalled because of [what has happened to] you, and their kings will be horrified and shudder/shake because of your [being destroyed], when I swing my sword in front of them. At the time that you will be destroyed, all of them will tremble, fearing that they also will be killed.”
11 “‘Nĩgũkorwo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “‘Rũhiũ rwa njora rwa mũthamaki wa Babuloni nĩrũgagũũkĩrĩra.
This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “The swords of [the army of] the King of Babylon will strike you.
12 Nĩngatũma kĩrĩndĩ gĩaku kĩũragwo na hiũ cia njora cia andũ arĩa marĩ hinya, o acio a rũrĩrĩ rũtarĩ tha gũkĩra ndũrĩrĩ iria ingĩ ciothe. Nĩmakahehenja mwĩtĩĩo wa bũrũri wa Misiri, nakĩo kĩrĩndĩ gĩakuo nĩgĩkangʼaũranio.
I will cause very many of your people to be killed by the swords of mighty soldiers [from Babylonia], who are more ruthless/cruel than the soldiers of all other nations. They will cause the people of Egypt to quit being proud, because very many [HYP] of their people will be killed.
13 Nĩnganiina mahiũ mao mothe marĩa marĩ ndwere-inĩ cia maaĩ maingĩ, marĩa matagacooka kunjugwo nĩ kũgũrũ kwa mũndũ, kana mekĩrwo ndooro nĩ mahũngũ ma mahiũ.
I will destroy all the cattle in Egypt that (graze/eat grass) alongside the streams. As a result, the water in those streams will never again become muddy because of people and cattle walking in them.
14 Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩngatũma maaĩ makuo mahoorere, na ndũme tũrũũĩ twakuo tũtherere ta maguta, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
Then I will allow the streams in Egypt to become calm again and flow [as smoothly] [SIM] as olive oil flows.
15 Rĩrĩa ngaatũma bũrũri wa Misiri ũkire ihooru, na njeherie kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ kũu bũrũri-inĩ, na hũũre arĩa othe matũũraga kuo-rĩ, hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.’
When I cause Egypt to become empty/desolate and strip off everything that grows on the land, and when I get rid of all the people who live there, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”’
16 “Macio nĩmo macakaya marĩa makaamũcakaĩra. O nao airĩtu a ndũrĩrĩ magaacakaya o ũguo; ũguo nĩguo magaacakaĩra bũrũri wa Misiri na kĩrĩndĩ gĩakuo, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.”
That sad song about Egypt will also be sung by the people. Women of many nations will sing it. They will chant it about Egypt and all its people; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said that it would happen.”
17 Mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ĩĩrĩ, mũthenya wa ikũmi na ĩtano wa mweri ũcio, kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
On the fifteenth day of that same month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
18 “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, girĩka nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrĩndĩ kĩa bũrũri wa Misiri, na ũkĩharũrũkie kũu thĩ kũriku, hamwe na airĩtu a ndũrĩrĩ iria irĩ hinya, o hamwe na arĩa maikũrũkagio kũu irima-inĩ.
“You human, wail about the many people of Egypt, because I will send them to the place under the earth, where they and people of other mighty nations will be. I will send them there, along with others, down to the place where the dead are.
19 Moorie atĩrĩ: ‘Inyuĩ mũrĩ ende gũkĩra arĩa angĩ? Ikũrũkai mũgakomio hamwe na arĩa mataruĩte.’
Say to them, ‘You people of [APO] Egypt, [you think that] [IRO, RHQ] you are more beautiful than the people of other nations. But you also will descend to the place where the godless dead people are.
20 Nao makaagũa hamwe na arĩa maanooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora. Rũhiũ rwa njora nĩrũcomore; rekei akururio arĩ hamwe na kĩrĩndĩ gĩake gĩothe.
[Your enemies] will pull out their swords and kill many of you. A huge number of the people of Egypt who remain will be dragged away.
21 Kuuma kũu thĩinĩ wa mbĩrĩra, atongoria arĩa marĩ hinya nĩmakaaragia ũhoro ũkoniĩ bũrũri wa Misiri na arĩa marĩ ngwatanĩro naguo, moige atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩmaikũrũkĩtio, na makometio hamwe na arĩa mataruĩte, o hamwe na arĩa maanooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora.’ (Sheol h7585)
In the place where the dead people are, mighty leaders [of other countries] will [make fun of the people of Egypt] and say, “They have come here to lie with us godless people who were killed by our enemies’ swords!”’ (Sheol h7585)
22 “Ashuri arĩ kũu hamwe na mbũtũ ciake ciothe cia ita; arigiicĩirio nĩ mbĩrĩra cia arĩa ake othe maanooragwo, o acio othe moragĩtwo na rũhiũ rwa njora.
[The corpses of the people of] Assyria will be there. They will be surrounded by [corpses of] soldiers who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
23 Mbĩrĩra ciao irĩ irima kũrĩa kũriku, nacio mbũtũ ciake cia ita igũĩte irigiicĩirie mbĩrĩra yake. Arĩa othe maiyũrĩtie guoya thĩinĩ wa bũrũri wa arĩa marĩ muoyo nĩmoragĩtwo, makooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora.
The people’s graves are there in the deep pit, and [corpses of soldiers of] their army lie around their graves. Corpses of all those who had caused many others in other places to be terrified also will be there, having been killed by swords.
24 “Elamu arĩ o kũu, na kĩrĩndĩ gĩake gĩothe kĩrigiicĩirie mbĩrĩra yake. Othe nĩmoragĩtwo, makooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora. Arĩa othe maiyũrĩtie bũrũri wa arĩa marĩ muoyo guoya maaharũrũkirio thĩ kũrĩa kũriku matarĩ aruu. Maikaraga maconokete marĩ hamwe na arĩa maharũrũkĩtio irima.
A great number of the people of Elam will be there. They also were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They had caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified. At that time they will lie there in that deep pit below the earth, and they, along with the others who have gone there, will be disgraced.
25 Nĩarĩirwo ũrĩrĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka arĩa maanakua, kĩrĩndĩ gĩake kĩrigiicĩirie mbĩrĩra yake. Acio othe ti aruu, na mooragirwo na rũhiũ rwa njora. Tondũ nĩo maaguoyohithanagia bũrũri wa arĩa marĩ muoyo, maikaraga maconokete marĩ hamwe na arĩa maharũrũkĩtio irima; magakomio hamwe na arĩa maanooragwo.
They will lie there among others who were slaughtered, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of other people. While they were alive, they caused people of other nations to be terrified; but they were godless, and now, having been killed by [their enemies] swords, they will lie with others in that deep pit, disgraced, all of them avoiding each other.
26 “Mesheki na Tubali marĩ kũu, nacio irĩndĩ ciao ciothe irigiicĩirie mbĩrĩra ciao. Acio othe matiruĩte, na mooragirwo na rũhiũ rwa njora tondũ nĩmaiyũrĩtie bũrũri wa arĩa marĩ muoyo guoya.
[Corpses of] soldiers of Meshech and Tubal will be there, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of their people. They were all godless people who were killed by swords because while they were alive, they also caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified.
27 Githĩ matikomete hamwe na njamba iria ingĩ cia ita iria itaruĩte iria ikuĩte, iria ciaharũrũkirio mbĩrĩra-inĩ hamwe na matharaita ma cio, o icio hiũ ciacio cia njora ciakomeirio mĩtwe yacio? Iherithia rĩa mehia mao rĩacookereire mahĩndĩ mao, o na akorwo kũguoyohithania kwa njamba icio cia ita nĩ kwaiyũrĩte bũrũri wa arĩa marĩ muoyo. (Sheol h7585)
They will surely [RHQ] not be buried honorably like the soldiers who have died, whose shields were buried with their corpses, whose swords were placed on their skulls in the graves. While those godless people were alive, they had caused many people in the land to be terrified, so they were punished for their sins. (Sheol h7585)
28 “O nawe Firaũni-rĩ, nĩũkoinangwo na ũkomio gatagatĩ-inĩ ka arĩa mataruĩte, o hamwe na arĩa maanooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora.
You king of Egypt, you also be killed and will lie there with other godless people who have been killed by [their enemies’] swords.
29 “Edomu arĩ kũu, hamwe na athamaki ake, na anene ake othe; o na maarĩ na hinya-rĩ, makometio hamwe na arĩa maanooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora. Makomete hamwe na arĩa mataruĩte, o hamwe na arĩa maharũrũkagio irima.
People of the Edom people-group will be there, along with their kings and leaders. They were powerful, but they will [be killed and] lie there in the place where the other dead people are. They will lie there in that deep pit, with the other godless people.
30 “Anene othe a gathigathini, na andũ othe a Sidoni marĩ kũu; maaharũrũkirio hamwe na arĩa maanooragwo maconokete, o na kwarĩ na kũguoyohania kwarehetwo nĩ ũhoti wao. Makometio matarĩ aruu, marĩ hamwe na arĩa maanooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, na maikaraga maconokete marĩ hamwe na arĩa maharũrũkagio irima.
All the rulers of countries north [of Israel], including people from Sidon, will be there. Because of their power, they caused people to be terrified, but they will lie there. They were godless, and they will lie there along with others who were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They, along with everyone else who descends into that deep pit, will be disgraced.
31 “Firaũni, we hamwe na mbũtũ yake yothe ya ita rĩake, nĩakameyonera, nake ahoorerio ngoro nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrĩndĩ gĩake gĩothe kĩrĩa kĩanooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
The king of Egypt and all his army will see them, and they will be comforted to know that there were other huge groups of people who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
32 O na gũtuĩka nĩ niĩ ndatũmire aiyũrie guoya bũrũri-inĩ wa arĩa marĩ muoyo-rĩ, Firaũni hamwe na kĩrĩndĩ gĩake gĩothe nĩmagakomio hamwe na arĩa matarĩ aruu, hamwe na arĩa maanooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.”
While he was living, I allowed him to cause others in many countries to be terrified, but he and his huge army will be there among other godless people who had been killed by [their enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who has said [that it would happen].”
