Ezekieli 36
1 “Atĩrĩrĩ, wee mũrũ wa mũndũ, ratha ũhoro ũkoniĩ irĩma cia Isiraeli, ũciĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Inyuĩ irĩma cia Isiraeli, iguai kiugo kĩa Jehova.
Thou therefore. Son of man, Prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, —and thou shalt say, Ye mountains of Israel Hear ye the word of Yahweh.
2 Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Thũ nĩyaaririe ũhoro waku, ĩkiuga atĩrĩ, “Aha! Kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gwa tene nĩgũtuĩkĩte gwitũ gwa kwĩgwatĩra.”’
Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh, Because the enemy hath said concerning you Aha! Even the high places of age-past times, for a possession have become ours
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ratha ũhoro uuge atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Kuona atĩ nĩmakwanangire na magĩkũguĩma na mĩena yothe nĩguo wĩgwatĩrwo nĩ ndũrĩrĩ icio ingĩ ũtuĩke kĩndũ kĩmene na gĩa gũcambio nĩ andũ-rĩ,
Therefore, prophesy, and thou shalt say, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh-Because even because they have desolated and panted for you on every side That ye should become a possession to the rest of the nations, And ye have come up into the talk of the tongue and the slander of the people
4 nĩ ũndũ ũcio inyuĩ irĩma cia Isiraeli, iguai kiugo kĩa Mwathani Jehova: Mwathani Jehova ekwĩra irĩma na tũrĩma, na mĩkuru na ituamba, na kũndũ kũrĩa kwanangĩtwo gũgakira ihooru, na matũũra marĩa mathaamĩtwo, na matũũra marĩa matahĩtwo indo na makanyararwo nĩ ndũrĩrĩ icio ingĩ iria imũthiũrũrũkĩirie atĩrĩ,
Therefore ye mountains of Israel, hear ye the word of My Lord Yahweh, — Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh, To the mountains and to the hills, to the channels and to the valleys, and to the desolate waste places and to the cities that are forsaken, which have become a prey and a derision, to the rest of the nations which are on every side:
5 Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Nĩnjarĩtie ũhoro wa gũũkĩrĩra ndũrĩrĩ icio ingĩ ndĩ na kĩyo kĩnene gĩakanĩte ta mwaki, na ngaaria ũhoro wa gũũkĩrĩra bũrũri wa Edomu wothe, nĩgũkorwo nĩmegwatĩire bũrũri wakwa ũtuĩke wao, makĩngenagĩrĩra na marĩ na rũmena ngoro-inĩ ciao, nĩguo matunyane ũrĩithio wakuo.’
Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, Surely in the fire of my jealousy, have I spoken against the rest of the nations and against Edom all of it, — Who have given my land to themselves for a possession, In the rejoicing of all the heart In contempt of soul, To make of its produce a prey.
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ratha ũhoro ũkoniĩ bũrũri wa Isiraeli, na wĩre irĩma na tũrĩma, na mĩkuru na ituamba, atĩrĩ: ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Ngwaria ndĩ na mangʼũrĩ marĩ na ũiru tondũ nĩũnyararĩtwo nĩ ndũrĩrĩ icio.
Therefore prophesy, concerning the soil of Israel, —and say to the mountains and to the hills to the channels and to the valleys, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Behold me! In my jealousy and in mine indignation, have I spoken, Because the insult of the nations, ye have borne;
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Ndehĩta njoete guoko na igũrũ ndoiga atĩ ndũrĩrĩ icio imũthiũrũrũkĩirie o nacio nĩikanyararwo.
Therefore Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, I myself have lifted my hand, - Surely the nations which are yours round about, they their own shame, shall bear:
8 “‘No rĩrĩ, inyuĩ irĩma cia Isiraeli nĩmũkaruta honge, na mũciarĩre andũ akwa a Isiraeli maciaro, nĩgũkorwo marĩ hakuhĩ kũinũka.
But ye O mountains of Israel Your boughs, shall ye shoot forth, And your fruit, shall ye bear For my people Israel, For they have drawn near to enter.
9 Nĩndĩrarũmbũiya ũhoro wanyu na nĩngũmũkinyĩria wega wakwa; nĩmũgacimbwo na mũhaandwo,
For lo! I am towards you, Therefore will I turn towards you, And ye shall be tilled and sown;
10 na nĩngamũingĩhĩria andũ, o acio a nyũmba ya Isiraeli yothe. Matũũra nĩmagatũũrwo, nakuo kũrĩa kwanange nĩgũgacookererio.
And I will multiply, upon you—men, All the house of Israel All of it, Then shall the cities be inhabited, And the waste places, shall be built,
11 Nĩngamũingĩhĩria andũ na mahiũ, nao nĩmagaciarana na maingĩhe. Nĩngatũma mũtũũrwo nĩ andũ ta ũrĩa mwatũũrĩtwo mbere, na ndũme mũgaacĩre gũkĩra mbere. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
And I will multiply upon you—man and beast, And they shall multiply and be fruitful, — And I will cause you to be inhabited as in your former estates. And will do you more good than at your beginnings, So shall ye know that am Yahweh;
12 Nĩngatũma andũ, o acio andũ akwa a Isiraeli magere igũrũ rĩaku. Nĩmakamwĩgwatĩra, na inyuĩ nĩmũgatuĩka igai rĩao; mũtigacooka kũmatunya ciana ciao rĩngĩ.
And I will bring upon you—men even my people Israel That they may possess thee, So shalt thou be theirs, as an inheritance, -And thou shalt no more again make them childless.
13 “‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Tondũ andũ maramwĩra atĩrĩ, “Inyuĩ mũniinũkagia andũ, na mũgatunya rũrĩrĩ rwanyu ciana ciaruo,”
Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh, Because they are saying to you. A devourer of men, thou art, And one that didst make childless thy nations, hast thou been
14 nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũtigacooka kũniina andũ, kana gũtũma rũrĩrĩ rwanyu rwage ciana, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
Therefore, men, shalt thou not devour any more, - And thy nations, shalt thou make childless no more, Declareth My Lord Yahweh;
15 Ndigacooka gũtũma mũigue kĩnyũrũri kĩa ndũrĩrĩ, o na kana mũcooke kũnyararwo nĩ kĩrĩndĩ, kana ndũme rũrĩrĩ rwanyu rũgwe, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.’”
And I will not suffer to be heard against thee any more, the insult of the nations, And the reproach of the peoples, shalt thou not bear any more, - And thy nations, shalt thou not cause to stumble any more, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
16 Ningĩ kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
17 “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa andũ a Isiraeli maatũũraga bũrũri wao kĩũmbe-rĩ, nĩmaũthaahirie na mĩtugo yao na ciĩko ciao. Mĩtugo yao yatariĩ ta thaahu wa mũndũ-wa-nja wa o mweri maitho-inĩ makwa.
Son of man The house of Israel were dwelling upon their own soil, But they defiled it by their way, and by their doings. Like the defilement of her that is removed, became their way before me.
18 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩndamaitĩrĩirie mangʼũrĩ makwa, tondũ nĩmaitithĩtie thakame kũu bũrũri ũcio na tondũ nĩmaũthaahĩtie na mĩhianano yao.
So I poured out mine indignation upon them, Because of the blood which they had shed upon the land, - Yea with their manufactured gods, had they defiled it.
19 Nĩndamahurunjire ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ, na makĩharaganĩrio mabũrũri-inĩ; ndaamatuĩrĩire ciira kũringana na mĩtugo yao na ciĩko ciao.
So I dispersed them among the nations, And they were scattered throughout the lands, — According to their way and according to their doings, I judged them.
20 Na kũrĩa guothe maathiire ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ nĩmathaahirie rĩĩtwa rĩakwa itheru, nĩgũkorwo kweragwo atĩrĩ igũrũ rĩao, ‘Aya nĩ andũ a Jehova, no no nginya maangĩeherire bũrũri wake.’
But when they entered among the nations where they did enter, then profaned they my holy Name, —in that it was said of them The people of Yahweh, these! Yet from his land, have they come forth!
21 Nĩndarũmbũyagia ũhoro wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa itheru, rĩrĩa rĩathaahirio nĩ nyũmba ya Isiraeli ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ kũrĩa maathiĩte.
So then I had tender regard for my holy Name, - Which the house of Israel had profaned, among the nations, where they had entered.
22 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ĩra andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli atĩrĩ, ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Ndigwĩka maũndũ macio nĩ ũndũ wanyu, inyuĩ andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli, no ngũmeeka nĩ ũndũ wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa itheru, rĩrĩa mũthaahĩtie ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ kũrĩa mũthiĩte.
Therefore say thou to the house of Israel Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Not for your sakes, am I working. O house of Israel, But for my holy Name which ye have profaned, among the nations where ye have entered;
23 Nĩngonania ũtheru wa rĩĩtwa rĩakwa inene, rĩrĩa rĩthaahĩtio ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ icio, rĩĩtwa rĩu inyuĩ mũthaahĩtie gatagatĩ-inĩ ga cio. Hĩndĩ ĩyo ndũrĩrĩ icio nĩikamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ngeyonania atĩ ndĩ mũtheru maitho-inĩ mao kũhĩtũkĩra harĩ inyuĩ, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
Therefore will I hallow my great Name, that hath been profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in their midst, -So shall the nations know that I am Yahweh Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, When I have hallowed myself in you, before their eyes.
24 “‘Nĩgũkorwo nĩngamũruta ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ icio; nĩngamũcookanĩrĩria kuuma mabũrũri macio mothe, na ndĩmũcookie bũrũri wanyu kĩũmbe.
Therefore will I take you from among the nations, And gather you out of all the lands, - And will bring you upon your own soil;
25 Nĩngamũminjaminjĩria maaĩ matheru, na inyuĩ nĩmũgathera; nĩ niĩ ngaamũtheria mũthirwo nĩ thaahu wanyu wothe, na ndĩmũtherie kuuma kũrĩ mĩhianano yanyu yothe.
And I will throw upon you clean water and ye shall be clean, — From all your uncleannesses and from all your manufactured gods, will I cleanse you;
26 Nĩngamũhe ngoro njerũ, na njĩkĩre roho mwerũ thĩinĩ wanyu; nĩngamwehereria ngoro yanyu ya ihiga, ndĩmũhe ngoro ya nyama.
And I will give you a new heart, And a new spirit, will I put within you, -And I will take away the heart of stone out of your flesh, And will give you a heart of flesh;
27 Na nĩngekĩra Roho wakwa thĩinĩ wanyu, na ndũme mũrũmagĩrĩre watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na mũmenyagĩrĩre kũrũmia mawatho makwa.
And my spirit, will I put within you, And will cause That in my statutes, ye shall walk, And my regulations, ye shall observe, and do;
28 Mũgaatũũra thĩinĩ wa bũrũri ũrĩa ndaaheire maithe manyu ma tene; nĩmũgatuĩka andũ akwa, na niĩ nduĩke Ngai wanyu.
And ye shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers, - And ye shall become my people, And I will become your God;
29 Nĩngamũhonokia kuuma thaahu-inĩ wanyu wothe. Nĩngoiga kũgĩe ngano, na ndũme ĩingĩhe, na ndikamũrehithĩria ngʼaragu.
And I will save you out of all your uncleannesses, —And will call for the corn and will increase it, And will not lay upon you famine; And I will save you out of all your uncleannesses, —And will call for the corn and will increase it, And will not lay upon you famine;
30 Nĩngaingĩhia maciaro ma mĩtĩ na maciaro ma mũgũnda, nĩgeetha mũtikanacooke kũnyararwo mũrĩ thĩinĩ wa ndũrĩrĩ tondũ wa ngʼaragu.
And I will multiply The fruit of the tree, and The increase of the field, — To the end that ye may not receive any more the reproach of famine among the nations.
31 Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkaririkana mĩthiĩre yanyu mĩũru na ciĩko cia waganu, na nĩmũgethũũra inyuĩ ene nĩ ũndũ wa mehia manyu na mĩtugo yanyu ĩrĩ magigi.
Then shall ye call to mind Your ways that were wicked, and Your doings that were not good, - And shall become loathsome in your own sight. For your iniquities and For your abominations.
32 Nĩngwenda mũmenye atĩ ndireeka ũndũ ũyũ nĩ ũndũ wanyu, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga. Iguai thoni, na mũnyararithio nĩ ũndũ wa mĩtugo yanyu, inyuĩ andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli!
Not for your sakes, am I working, Declareth My Lord Yahweh be it known to you, — Turn ye pale and then blush for your ways. O house of Israel.
33 “‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Mũthenya ũrĩa ngaamũtheria mũthirwo nĩ mehia manyu mothe-rĩ, nĩngatũma matũũra manyu macooke gũtũũrwo, na kũrĩa kwanangĩku nĩgũgacookererio.
Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh, In the day when I cleanse you, from all your iniquities, Then will I cause the cities to be inhabited, And the waste places shall be built;
34 Bũrũri ũrĩa ũkirĩte ihooru nĩũkarĩmwo handũ ha gũikaraga ũkirĩte ihooru maitho-inĩ ma arĩa othe mahĩtũkagĩra kuo.
And the land that was made desolate shall be tilled, — Whereas it was a desolation, before the eyes of every passer-by;
35 Nao nĩmakoiga atĩrĩ, “Bũrũri ũyũ watũũrĩte ũrĩ mũteanĩrie rĩu ũtuĩkĩte o ta mũgũnda wa Edeni; matũũra manene marĩa maanangĩtwo, na magakirio ihooru, na makaniinwo-rĩ, rĩu nĩmairigĩre na magatũũrwo.”
And they shall say, This land that was made desolate hath become like the garden of Eden, - And the cities that were waste and deserted and thrown down, now fenced, are inhabited;
36 Hĩndĩ ĩyo ndũrĩrĩ iria imũthiũrũrũkĩirie, iria igaatigara, nĩikamenya atĩ niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ njookereirie kũrĩa kwanangĩtwo, na ngahaanda rĩngĩ kũrĩa gwakirĩtio ihooru. Niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ njarĩtie, na nĩ niĩ ngeeka ũguo.’
So shall the nations that may be left remaining round about you know that, I Yahweh— Have built that which was thrown down, and Have planted that which was made desolate, — I Yahweh, have spoken and performed.
37 “Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: O rĩngĩ nĩngetĩkĩra kũigua ithaithana rĩa andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli na ndĩmekĩre ũũ: Nĩngatũma andũ ao maingĩhe o ta rũũru rwa ngʼondu,
Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Even yet—for this, will I be prevailed upon by the house of Israel to work for them, — I will multiply them-Like a flock—with men:
38 maingĩhe o ta ndũũru cia kũrutwo magongona kũu Jerusalemu hĩndĩ ya ciathĩ iria nyamũre. Ũguo nĩguo matũũra macio manene manangĩtwo makaiyũrio ndũũru cia andũ. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.”
Like a flock of holy offerings Like the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, So, shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men, - And they shall know that, I, am Yahweh.
