Ezekieli 5
1 “Na rĩrĩ, mũrũ wa mũndũ, oya rũhiũ rwa njora rũũgĩ, ũrũhũthĩre ta rwenji rwa mwenjani, wĩyenje naruo mũtwe na nderu. Ningĩ ũcooke woe ratiri ya gũthima, ũgayanie njuĩrĩ ĩyo.
“Also, you human, [when you start doing those things, ] take a sharp sword and use it like [SIM] a razor to shave your head and your beard. Then put the hair that you shaved off on scales, and divide the [into three equal parts].
2 Rĩrĩa matukũ marĩa mũrigiicĩirio magaathira-rĩ, ũgaacinĩra gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ kĩa njuĩrĩ ĩyo na mwaki kũu thĩinĩ wa itũũra inene. Oya gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ kĩayo ũthiũrũrũke itũũra rĩu inene ũkĩmĩgũthagũthaga na rũhiũ rwa njora. Nakĩo gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ kĩayo ũkĩhurunje gĩtwarwo nĩ rũhuho. Nĩgũkorwo nĩngamaingatithia na rũhiũ rwa njora ndĩrũcomorete.
When the time during [you will symbolize that] the city will be [by enemy troops] ends, put a third of the hair inside [drawing of the] city and burn it. Take another third of the hair, [scatter it] all [the drawing of] the city, and then strike it with your sword. That will symbolize that I will strike the people of Jerusalem [their enemies’] swords. Then allow the wind to scatter the other third of the hair. That will symbolize [even if they flee from the city], I will [cause their enemies to] pursue them and attack them with swords.
3 No rĩrĩ, oya gakundi ka njuĩrĩ ũthinĩkĩre ruuno-inĩ rwa nguo yaku.
Take a few of your hairs and tuck them into the folds of your robe.
4 Cooka woe gakundi kayo ũgaikie mwaki-inĩ ũgacine. Mwaki nĩũgatheerema kuuma hau ũiyũre nyũmba yothe ya Isiraeli.
Then take a few of those hairs, throw them into the fire, and burn them up. [That will symbolize that] a fire will spread from Jerusalem [and destroy things] throughout Israel.
5 “Ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga: Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo itũũra inene rĩa Jerusalemu, rĩrĩa haandĩte gatagatĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ rĩthiũrũkĩirio nĩ mabũrũri.
This is what [I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘[drawing will represent] Jerusalem, [the city which] I have set in the center of the nations, with [other] countries around it.
6 No rĩrĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa waganu warĩo, nĩrĩremeire mawatho makwa o na watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo gũkĩra ndũrĩrĩ na mabũrũri macio marĩthiũrũrũkĩirie. Nĩrĩregete mawatho makwa na rĩtirũmĩrĩire watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo.
But the wicked people of Jerusalem rebelled against [obeying] my commands, and [they show that] they are more wicked than the people of the surrounding countries. They rejected my laws and refused to obey my commands.’
7 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga: Wee ũkoretwo ũrĩ mũremi gũkĩra ndũrĩrĩ ici igũthiũrũrũkĩirie, ũkaaga kũrũmĩrĩra watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo kana kũhingia mawatho makwa. Wee o na ndwĩkĩte maũndũ maringaine na irĩra cia ndũrĩrĩ icio igũthiũrũrũkĩirie.
Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘You people of Jerusalem have been more rebellious than the people of the nations around you; you have not obeyed any of my laws [DOU]. You have not even obeyed the laws of the nations around you!’
8 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga: Niĩ mwene nĩngũgũũkĩrĩra, wee Jerusalemu, ngũherithie ũkĩonagwo nĩ ndũrĩrĩ icio.
Therefore, this is [I, ] Yahweh the Lord, say: ‘I am opposed to [you people of] Jerusalem. I will punish you, and the [people of other] nations will see it happen.
9 Tondũ wa mĩhianano ĩyo yaku yothe ĩrĩ magigi, niĩ nĩngũgwĩka ũrĩa itarĩ ndeeka mbere ĩyo na itageeka rĩngĩ.
Because of all your detestable [idols], I will punish [people of Jerusalem] like I have never done before and will never do again.
10 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, gatagatĩ-inĩ gaku maithe nĩmakaarĩa ciana ciao, o nacio ciana irĩe maithe ma cio. Nĩngakũherithia, na hurunje matigari maku mothe matwarwo nĩ rũhuho.
As a result, parents among you will eat their children, and children will eat their [because there will be nothing else to eat]. I will punish you [severely], and I will cause those who will still be alive to be scattered in all directions [IDM].’
11 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ti-itherũ ta ũrĩa niĩ ndũũraga muoyo, Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, tondũ nĩũthaahĩtie gĩikaro gĩakwa kĩamũre na ũndũ wa mĩhianano yaku yothe mĩbuthu na ciĩko thũũrĩku-rĩ, nĩngakwehereria wendo wakwa, na ndigacooka gũkũrora na tha, kana ngũcaaĩre.
Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, because you have polluted my temple with all your disgusting [statues of idols] and by the other detestable things that you do, I will no longer bless you. I will not pity [you] or act mercifully [toward you].
12 Gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ kĩa andũ aku makooragwo nĩ mũthiro, kana maniinwo nĩ ngʼaragu o kũu thĩinĩ waku; gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ gĩkooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora nja ya thingo ciaku; nakĩo gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ ngaakĩhurunja gĩtwarwo nĩ rũhuho, na gĩtengʼerio na rũhiũ rwa njora rũcomoretwo.
One-third of your people will die inside the city because of the plagues [they will experience] or by (famine/lack of food). One-third of your people will be killed [your enemies’] swords outside the city. And one-third I will cause to be scattered in all directions; [your enemies] will [still] pursue you and kill you with their swords.
13 “Hĩndĩ ĩyo marakara makwa nĩmagathira, na mangʼũrĩ makwa harĩo manyiihe, na niĩ nĩngarĩhĩrio. Ndaarĩkia kũmaitũrũrĩra mangʼũrĩ makwa, nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ Jehova, nĩ niĩ ndoiga ũguo ndĩĩrutanĩirie.
Then I will no longer be angry with you; I will stop punishing [MTY] you after I have gotten revenge on you. And when I stop punishing you, you will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken to you because I have been very strongly concerned [what you have done].
14 “Nĩngagũtua mwanangĩko, na ngũtue kĩndũ gĩa kũnyararwo gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ iria igũthiũrũrũkĩirie, o na maitho-inĩ ma ahĩtũki.
I will cause your [city] to be a ruins, with the result that [people of other] nations that are around you will pass by and see it and sneer at you.
15 Wee ũgaatuĩka wa kũmenwo, na wa kũnyararwo, na kĩndũ gĩa gũkaanania nakĩo, na kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi harĩ ndũrĩrĩ icio igũthiũrũrũkĩirie, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ngaakũherithia ndĩ na marakara na mangʼũrĩ, na ngũkaanie na mathũgũta manene. Niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ ndoiga ũguo.
They will make fun of you and taunt you. When I severely punish you because of my being very angry [DOU] with you, they will be horrified and they will be warned. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.
16 Rĩrĩa ngaakũratha na mĩguĩ yakwa ya ũragani na ya ngʼaragu, ngaakũratha ngũniine. Nĩngakũrehere ngʼaragu makĩria, na hinge njĩra ĩrĩa irio ciaku ciũkagĩra.
When I cut off your food supply and cause there to be more famine, [it will be as though] [MET] I am shooting at you with my arrows that will destroy you.
17 Nĩngakũrehere ngʼaragu na nyamũ cia gĩthaka igũtharĩkĩre, nacio nĩigakũniinĩra ciana. Mũthiro na ũiti wa thakame nĩigakũhaata, na nĩngarehithia rũhiũ rwa njora rũgũũkĩrĩre. Niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ ndoiga ũguo.”
I will cause you to experience a famine, and I will send wild beasts to attack you and your children, and [all] your children will be killed. You will experience plagues and wars, and I will cause [your enemies] to attack you with their swords. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
