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.
It happened in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the LORD fell there on 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.
Then I saw, and look, a likeness as the appearance of a man; from the appearance of his waist and downward, fire; and from his waist and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as it were glowing metal.
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.
He put forth the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the Ruach lifted me up between earth and the sky, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner court that looks toward the north; where there was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy.
4 Na hau mbere yakwa nĩho riiri wa Ngai wa Isiraeli warĩ, o ta ũrĩa ndoonete kĩoneki-inĩ werũ-inĩ.
Look, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the appearance that 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.
Then he said to me, "Son of man, lift up your eyes now the way toward the north." So I lifted up my eyes the way toward the north, and see, northward of the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.
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.”
He said to me, "Son of man, do you see what they do? Even the great abominations that the house of Israel do commit here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? But you shall again see yet other great abominations."
7 Ningĩ akĩndehe itoonyero-inĩ rĩa nja ĩyo. Ngĩrora ngĩona irima rũthingo-inĩ.
He brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, look, a hole in the wall.
8 Akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, aramia irima rĩu rĩrĩ rũthingo-inĩ.” Rĩrĩa ndaaramirie irima rĩu, ngĩona nĩ haarĩ na mũrango.
Then he said to me, "Son of man, dig now in the wall": and when I had dug in the wall, look, a door.
9 Ningĩ akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Toonya thĩinĩ wĩonere maũndũ marĩ magigi marĩa mareka kuo.”
He said to me, "Go in, and see the wicked abominations that they do 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 saw; and see, every form of crawling creatures, and abominable animals, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed around on the wall.
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.
There stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel; and in their midst stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, every man with his censer in his hand; and the odor of the cloud of 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.’”
Then he said to me, "Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in his rooms of imagery? For they say, 'The LORD doesn't see us. The LORD has forsaken the land.'"
13 Ningĩ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Wee-rĩ, nĩũkũmona magĩĩka maũndũ o na marĩ magigi makĩria.”
He said also to me, "You shall again see yet other great abominations which they 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.
Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD's house which was toward the north; and see, there sat the women weeping for Tammuz.
15 Nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, nĩũrona maũndũ maya? Nĩũkuona maũndũ o na marĩ magigi mũno gũkĩra maya.”
Then he said to me, "Have you seen this, son of man? You shall again see yet greater abominations than 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.
He brought me into the inner court of the LORD's house; and see, at the door of the LORD's temple, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men, with their backs toward the LORD's temple, and their faces toward the east; and they were worshipping the sun toward the east.
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!
Then he said to me, "Have you seen this, son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? For they have filled the land with violence, and have turned again to provoke me to anger: and look, they put the branch to their nose.
18 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio niĩ nĩngameka maũndũ na marakara; ndikamaiguĩra tha kana ndĩmacaaĩre. O na mangĩkaanĩrĩra matũ-inĩ makwa, ndikamathikĩrĩria.”
therefore I will also deal in wrath; my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity; and though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them."
