Ezekieli 35
1 Ningĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, erekeria ũthiũ waku Kĩrĩma gĩa Seiru: kĩrathĩre ũhoro wa gũgĩũkĩrĩra,
“You human, turn toward Edom and prophesy what will happen to its people. Say that this is what Yahweh says to them:
3 ũkĩĩre atĩrĩ: ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Wee Kĩrĩma gĩa Seiru, nĩngũgũũkĩrĩra, na ngũtambũrũkĩrie guoko gwakwa nginya ndũme wanangĩke ũkire ihooru.
‘You who live near Seir Mountain [in Edom], I am opposed to you, and I will use my power [MTY] to strike you and cause your country to become a wasteland.
4 Nĩngatũma matũũra maku manangwo nawe nĩũgaakira ihooru. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
I will cause your country to be ruined and desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
5 “‘Tondũ wee-rĩ, kuuma o matukũ ma tene nĩũtũũrĩtie muku na andũ a Isiraeli na ũkĩmaneana mooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, rĩrĩa maarĩ na mũtino, o hĩndĩ ĩrĩa iherithia rĩao rĩehĩrĩire,
You have always been enemies of the Israeli people. You [rejoiced] when they experienced a great disaster: [their enemies attacked them with] swords, when I punished them [for the sins that they had committed].
6 nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Mwathani Jehova oigĩte atĩrĩ, ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa niĩ ndũũraga muoyo-rĩ, nĩngakũneana ũitwo thakame, nayo nĩĩgathingatana nawe. Kuona atĩ ndwamenire ũiti wa thakame-rĩ, ũiti wa thakame nĩũgaathingatana nawe.
Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will allow [your enemies] to slaughter [MTY] you and continue to slaughter you. You were happy when [LIT] others were slaughtered;
7 Nakĩo Kĩrĩma gĩa Seiru nĩngatũma kĩanangwo gĩkire ihooru, na njũrage arĩa othe mokaga kuo na makoimagara.
so I will cause Seir Mountain to be abandoned/deserted, and I will get rid of anyone who enters it or leaves it.
8 Nĩngaiyũria irĩma ciaku na arĩa moragĩtwo; arĩa moragĩtwo na rũhiũ rwa njora makaagũa tũrĩma-inĩ twaku, na ituamba-inĩ ciaku, o na mĩkuru-inĩ yaku yothe.
I will cause your mountains to be filled with [the corpses of] those who have been killed. The corpses of those who have been killed by [your enemies’] swords will lie on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines.
9 Nĩngatũma ũtũũre ũkirĩte ihooru nginya tene, namo matũũra maku matigatũũrwo. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
I will cause your land to be deserted forever. No one will live in your towns again. When that happens, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
10 “‘Tondũ uugĩte atĩrĩ, “Ndũrĩrĩ ici cierĩ na mabũrũri maya nĩigatuĩka ciitũ, na tũciĩgwatĩre,” o na gwatuĩka atĩ niĩ Jehova ndaarĩ kuo,
You people said, “Israel and Judah will become ours. We will take over their territory!” You said that even though I, Yahweh, was still there [and protecting them].
11 nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Mwathani Jehova oigĩte atĩrĩ, ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa niĩ ndũũraga muoyo-rĩ, nĩngagwĩka maũndũ maringaine na marakara maku na ũiru waku, iria wonanirie ũrĩ na rũmena harĩo, na nĩngatũma menyeke gatagatĩ-inĩ kao hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ngaamũtuĩra ciira.
Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will punish [MTY] you for being angry with my people, envying them, and hating them.
12 Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩũkamenya atĩ niĩ Jehova nĩnjiguĩte maũndũ mothe ma kĩnyararo marĩa warĩtie ma gũũkĩrĩra irĩma cia bũrũri wa Isiraeli. Woigire atĩrĩ, “Nĩcianangĩtwo na ikaneanwo kũrĩ ithuĩ tũcitambuure.”
Then you will know that I, Yahweh, have heard all the disgusting things that you have said about the mountains in Israel. You said that they have been ruined/devastated, and that they have been given to you to occupy [MET].
13 Nĩmwerahire na mũkĩaria maũndũ ma kũnjũkĩrĩra mũtekwĩgirĩrĩria na niĩ ngĩigua maũndũ macio.
When you insulted me, I heard all that you said about me.
14 Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Rĩrĩa thĩ yothe ĩgaakorwo ĩgĩcanjamũka, nĩngatũma ũkire ihooru.
So this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: You people who live on Seir Mountain and in all the other places in Edom, when I cause your land to become desolate, everyone in the entire world will rejoice.
15 Tondũ nĩwakenire rĩrĩa igai rĩa andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli rĩanangirwo rĩgĩkira ihooru-rĩ, ũguo noguo ngagwĩka o nawe. Wee Kĩrĩma gĩa Seiru, nĩũgakirio ihooru, wee mwene o na bũrũri wa Edomu wothe. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.’”
You were happy when the land [MTY] of the Israeli people became desolate, so I will cause your land to become desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
