Ezekieli 8
1 Mwaka-inĩ wa ĩtandatũ, mweri wa ĩtandatũ, mũthenya wa gatano, rĩrĩa ndaikarĩte gwakwa nyũmba nao athuuri a Juda magaikara mbere yakwa-rĩ, guoko kwa Mwathani Jehova gũgĩũka igũrũ rĩakwa.
And it came to pass in the sixth year, in the fifth month, on the fifth [day] of the month, I was sitting in the house, and the elders of Juda were sitting before me: and the hand of the Lord came upon me.
2 Ngĩrora, ngĩona mũhiano ta wa mũndũ. Kuuma harĩa honekaga taarĩ njohero yake gũcooka na thĩ aahaanaga ta mwaki, na kuuma hau gũcooka na igũrũ oonekaga akĩhenia ta kĩgera kĩraakana.
And I looked, and, behold, the likeness of a man: from his loins and downwards [there was] fire, and from his loins upwards [there was] as the appearance of amber.
3 Nĩatambũrũkirie kĩndũ kĩahaanaga ta guoko na akĩnjoya anyiitĩte njuĩrĩ cia mũtwe wakwa. Roho akĩnjoya na-igũrũ rĩera-inĩ, na akĩndwara Jerusalemu, ndĩ cioneki-inĩ cia Ngai, nginya mũrango-inĩ wa kĩhingo gĩa gathigathini kĩa nja ya na thĩinĩ, harĩa mũhianano ũrĩa ũtũmaga Ngai aigue ũiru warũngiĩ.
And he stretched forth the likeness of a hand, and took me by the crown of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between the earth and sky, and brought me to Jerusalem in a vision of God, to the porch of the gate that looks to the north, where was the pillar of the Purchaser.
4 Na hau mbere yakwa nĩho riiri wa Ngai wa Isiraeli warĩ, o ta ũrĩa ndoonete kĩoneki-inĩ werũ-inĩ.
And, behold, the glory of the Lord God of Israel was there, according to the vision which I saw in the plain.
5 Ningĩ akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, rora mwena wa gathigathini.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩrora, na hau itoonyero-inĩ rĩa mwena wa gathigathini wa kĩhingo gĩa kĩgongona, ngĩona mũhianano ũcio ũtũmaga Ngai aigue ũiru.
And he said to me, Son of man, lift up your eyes toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes toward the north, and, behold, [I looked] from the north toward the eastern gate.
6 Nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, nĩũrona ũrĩa mareeka; maũndũ marĩ magigi biũ marĩa andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli marekĩra haha, maũndũ ma kũndindĩka kũraya na handũ-hakwa-harĩa-haamũre? No wee-rĩ, nĩũkuona maũndũ o na marĩ magigi makĩria.”
And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen what these do? They commit great abominations here so that I should keep away from my sanctuary: and you shall see yet greater iniquities.
7 Ningĩ akĩndehe itoonyero-inĩ rĩa nja ĩyo. Ngĩrora ngĩona irima rũthingo-inĩ.
And he brought me to the porch of the court.
8 Akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, aramia irima rĩu rĩrĩ rũthingo-inĩ.” Rĩrĩa ndaaramirie irima rĩu, ngĩona nĩ haarĩ na mũrango.
And he said to me, Son of man, dig: so I dug, and behold a door.
9 Ningĩ akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Toonya thĩinĩ wĩonere maũndũ marĩ magigi marĩa mareka kuo.”
And he said to me, Go in, and behold the iniquities which they practise here.
10 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩtoonya kuo, ngĩrora ngĩona thingo-inĩ gũkururĩtwo mĩthemba yothe ya indo iria ikurumaga, na ya nyamũ ciothe iria irĩ mũgiro, na ya mĩhianano yothe ya andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli.
So I went in and looked; and saw vain abominations, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon them round about.
11 Hau mbere yacio nĩ haarũgamĩte athuuri mĩrongo mũgwanja a nyũmba ya Isiraeli, nake Jazania mũrũ wa Shafani akarũgama gatagatĩ-inĩ kao. O ũmwe wao aanyiitĩte rũgĩo rwa gũcinĩra ũbumba, nayo ndogo ĩrĩ na mũtararĩko mwega wa ũbumba nĩyatoogaga na igũrũ.
And seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and Jechonias the son of Saphan stood in their presence in the midst of them, and each one held his censer in his hand; and the smoke of the incense went up.
12 Nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, nĩwona maũndũ marĩa athuuri a nyũmba ya Isiraeli marekĩra nduma-inĩ, o ũmwe wao arĩ ihooero-inĩ rĩa mũhianano wake? Moigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova ndatuonaga; Jehova nĩatiganĩirie bũrũri ũyũ.’”
And he said to me, You have seen, son of man, what the elders of the house of Israel do, each one of them in their secret chamber: because they have said, The Lord see not; The Lord has forsaken the earth.
13 Ningĩ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Wee-rĩ, nĩũkũmona magĩĩka maũndũ o na marĩ magigi makĩria.”
And he said to me, You shall see yet greater iniquities which these do.
14 Ningĩ akĩndehe itoonyero-inĩ rĩa kĩhingo gĩa gathigathini kĩa nyũmba ya Jehova, na niĩ ngĩona andũ-a-nja maikarĩte thĩ ho magĩcakaĩra Tamuzu.
And he brought me in to the porch of the house of the Lord that looks to the north; and, behold [there were] women sitting there lamenting for Thammuz.
15 Nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, nĩũrona maũndũ maya? Nĩũkuona maũndũ o na marĩ magigi mũno gũkĩra maya.”
And he said to me, Son of man, you have seen; but you shall yet see [evil] practices greater then these.
16 Ningĩ akĩndoonyia nja ya na thĩinĩ ya nyũmba ya Jehova, na hau itoonyero-inĩ rĩa hekarũ, gatagatĩ ga gĩthaku na kĩgongona-rĩ, haarĩ arũme ta mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na atano. Maahutatĩire hekarũ ya Jehova, makaroria mothiũ mao mwena wa irathĩro, makainamagĩrĩra riũa marĩhooe marorete na kũu mwena wa irathĩro.
And he brought me into the inner court of the house of the Lord, and at the entrance of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty men, with their back parts toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces [turned] the opposite way; and these were worshipping the sun.
17 Nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, nĩwona ũguo? Anga ũcio nĩ ũndũ mũhũthũ andũ acio a nyũmba ya Juda gwĩka maũndũ marĩ magigi ta macio marekĩra haha? No nginya maiyũrie maũndũ ma ũhinya bũrũri na mandakaragie hĩndĩ ciothe? Ta marore magĩĩkĩra tũhonge maniũrũ mao!
And he said to me, Son of man, you have seen this. [Is it] a little thing to the house of Juda to practise the iniquities which they have practised here? for they have filled the land with iniquity: and, behold, these are as scorners.
18 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio niĩ nĩngameka maũndũ na marakara; ndikamaiguĩra tha kana ndĩmacaaĩre. O na mangĩkaanĩrĩra matũ-inĩ makwa, ndikamathikĩrĩria.”
Therefore will I deal with them in wrath: mine eye shall not spare, nor will I have any mercy.
