< Ezekieli 4 >

1 “Wee, mũrũ wa mũndũ, rĩu oya iturubarĩ ũrĩige mbere yaku, ũcooke ũkurure itũũra inene rĩa Jerusalemu igũrũ rĩarĩo;
THOU also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it the city, even Jerusalem:
2 Ũcooke ũrĩrigiicĩrie: Rĩakĩrĩre indo cia mbaara cia gũteithia gũtharĩkĩra itũũra, na wake kĩhumbu gĩkinyĩte itũũra, na ũrĩakĩrĩre kambĩ na nja, na ũigithie mĩgogo mĩtungu ya kũrĩmomora ĩrĩrigiicĩirie.
And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it round about.
3 Cooka woe rũgĩo rwa kĩgera, ũrũige rũtuĩke taarĩ rũgiri rwa kĩgera gatagatĩ gaku na itũũra rĩu inene, na ũhũgũre ũthiũ waku na kũu rĩrĩ. Narĩo rĩrigiicĩrio, na nĩwe ũkaarĩrigiicĩria. Ũndũ ũcio nĩũgaatuĩka kĩmenyithia harĩ andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli.
Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
4 “Ningĩ ũkome na mwena waku wa ũmotho, ũcooke wĩigĩrĩre mehia ma andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli. Nĩwe ũgaakuua mehia mao matukũ marĩa mothe ũgaakoma na mwena ũcio.
Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity.
5 Nĩngũtuĩrĩire ũkome matukũ maiganaine na mĩaka ya mehia mao. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio matukũ magana matatũ na mĩrongo kenda nĩmo ũgaakuua mehia ma andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli.
For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
6 “Warĩkia gwĩka ũguo, ũkome rĩngĩ, ihinda rĩĩrĩ na mwena waku wa ũrĩo, ũkuue mehia ma nyũmba ya Juda. Nĩngũtuĩrĩire matukũ mĩrongo ĩna, o mũthenya ũkarũgamĩrĩra mwaka ũmwe.
And when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.
7 Hũgũra ũthiũ waku ũwerekerie itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu rĩu rĩrigiicĩirio, ũrĩtambũrũkĩrie guoko kũhumbũrĩtio, ũrĩrathĩre ũhoro wa gũũkĩrĩrwo.
Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it.
8 Nĩngakuoha na mĩhĩndo nĩguo ndũkanahote kwĩgarũra na mwena ũmwe kana ũrĩa ũngĩ nginya rĩrĩa matukũ maku ma kũrigiicĩrio magaathira.
And, behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.
9 “Oya ngano na cairi, na mboco na ndengũ, na mwere na ngano njirũ; ciĩkĩre thĩinĩ wa ndigithũ ũcihũthagĩre gwĩthondekera mũgate. Mũgate ũcio nĩguo ũrĩrĩĩaga ihinda rĩa matukũ magana matatũ na mĩrongo kenda macio ũgũkorwo ũkomete na mwena.
Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.
10 Thima cekeri mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ cia irio iria ũrĩrĩĩaga o mũthenya na ũcirĩĩage mahinda marĩa mabange.
And thy meat which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it.
11 Ningĩ ũthime maaĩ gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithathatũ kĩa hini ĩmwe, na ũmanyuuage mahinda o marĩa mabange.
Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shalt thou drink.
12 Rĩĩaga irio icio o ta ũrĩa ũngĩrĩa mũgate wa cairi; ũũruge andũ makĩonaga, ũhũthĩrĩte mwaki wakĩtio na mai ma mũndũ.”
And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight.
13 Jehova akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũguo nĩguo andũ a Isiraeli makaarĩĩaga irio irĩ na thaahu marĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ, kũrĩa ngaamatwarithia.”
And the Lord said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them.
14 Na niĩ ngiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũguo ti guo, Mwathani Jehova! Niĩ ndirĩ ndethaahia. Kuuma ũnini wakwa nginya rĩu, ndirĩ ndarĩa nyama ya nyamũ ĩkuĩte kana ĩtambuurĩtwo nĩ nyamũ cia gĩthaka. Gũtirĩ nyama ĩrĩ mũgiro ĩrĩ yatoonya kanua gakwa.”
Then said I, Ah Lord God! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.
15 Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ũguo nĩ wega; nĩngũreke ũruge mũgate waku na mai ma ngʼombe, handũ ha mwaki wa mai ma mũndũ.”
Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow’s dung for man’s dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith.
16 Nake agĩcooka akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, nĩngagirĩrĩria irio itigatoonye Jerusalemu. Andũ acio makaarĩĩaga irio cia gĩthimo magĩtangĩkaga, na manyuuage maaĩ ma gĩthimo matarĩ na kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro,
Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:
17 nĩ ũndũ nĩgũgakorwo na ũnyiihu wa irio na wa maaĩ. Nĩmakamakaga moona o mũndũ ũrĩa atariĩ na nĩmakahĩnja nĩ ũndũ wa mehia mao.
That they may want bread and water, and be astonied one with another, and consume away for their iniquity.
