Ezekieli 9
1 Ningĩ ngĩigua agĩĩtana na mũgambo mũnene, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Rehei arangĩri a itũũra inene haha, o mũndũ arĩ na itharaita rĩa mbaara guoko-inĩ.”
Then he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying, “Cause those who are in charge of the city to draw near, each man with his destroying weapon in his hand.”
2 Na niĩ ngĩona andũ atandatũ magĩũka moimĩte mwena wa kĩhingo kĩa rũgongo, kĩrĩa kĩrorete mwena wa gathigathini, o mũndũ arĩ na kĩndũ gĩa kũũragana guoko-inĩ. Makĩrehane na mũndũ ũngĩ ũmwe wehumbĩte nguo cia gatani na eyohete indo cia kwandĩka njohero. Nao magĩtoonya makĩrũgama mwena-inĩ wa kĩgongona kĩrĩa gĩa gĩcango.
Behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lies toward the north, every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand. One man in the middle of them was clothed in linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side. They went in, and stood beside the bronze altar.
3 Na rĩrĩ, riiri wa Ngai wa Isiraeli ũkĩambata uumĩte igũrũ rĩa makerubi, harĩa warĩ mbere, ũgĩthiĩ hingĩro-inĩ ya hekarũ. Ningĩ Jehova agĩĩta mũndũ ũcio wehumbĩte nguo cia gatani, o ũcio weyohete indo cia kwandĩka njohero,
The glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house; and he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn by his side.
4 akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ ũtuĩkanie itũũra inene rĩa Jerusalemu, na wĩkĩre rũũri ithiithi cia arĩa marĩ na kĩeha, na magacakaya nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ mothe marĩ magigi marĩa mekagwo kũu thĩinĩ warĩo.”
The LORD said to him, “Go through the middle of the city, through the middle of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done within it.”
5 O thikĩrĩirie ũguo, akĩĩra acio angĩ atĩrĩ, “Mũrũmĩrĩrei, mũtuĩkanĩrie itũũra rĩu inene mũũragane mũtekũiguanĩra tha kana gũcaayanĩra.
To the others he said in my hearing, “Go through the city after him, and strike. Do not let your eye spare, neither have pity.
6 Ũragai athuuri, na aanake na airĩtu, na andũ-a-nja na ciana, no mũtikahutie mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ mwĩkĩre rũũri rũu. Ambĩrĩriai o haha hakwa haamũre.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩambĩrĩria na athuuri arĩa maarĩ hau mbere ya hekarũ.
Kill utterly the old man, the young man, the virgin, little children and women; but do not come near any man on whom is the mark. Begin at my sanctuary.” Then they began at the old men who were before the house.
7 Ningĩ akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thaahiai hekarũ ĩno na mũiyũrie nja ciayo andũ arĩa moragĩtwo. Thiĩi!” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio makiumagara, makĩambĩrĩria kũũragana kũu itũũra-inĩ inene.
He said to them, “Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go out!” They went out, and struck in the city.
8 Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa mooraganaga niĩ ngĩtigwo ndĩ nyiki, ngĩĩgũithia, ngĩturumithia ũthiũ thĩ, ngĩrĩra, ngĩũria atĩrĩ, “Hĩ, Mwathani Jehova! Anga nĩũkũniina matigari mothe ma Isiraeli hĩndĩ ĩno ya gũitĩrĩria Jerusalemu mangʼũrĩ maku?”
While they were killing, and I was left, I fell on my face, and cried, and said, “Ah Lord GOD! Will you destroy all the residue of Israel in your pouring out of your wrath on Jerusalem?”
9 Nake akĩnjookeria atĩrĩ, “Mehia ma nyũmba ya Isiraeli na ya Juda nĩ maingĩ magakĩra; bũrũri ũiyũrĩte ũiti wa thakame, narĩo itũũra inene rĩiyũrĩte ũhotomia wa kĩhooto. Moigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova nĩatiganĩirie bũrũri ũyũ; Jehova ndarona.’
Then he said to me, “The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perversion; for they say, ‘The LORD has forsaken the land, and the LORD does not see.’
10 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, Niĩ ndigacooka kũmaiguĩra tha kana kũmacaaĩra, no nĩngamacookereria ũrĩa mekĩte.”
As for me also, my eye will not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way on their head.”
11 Ningĩ mũndũ ũcio wehumbĩte nguo cia gatani, na akeoha indo cia wandĩki njohero, agĩcookia ndũmĩrĩri, akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩnjĩkĩte o ta ũrĩa wathanire.”
Behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, “I have done as you have commanded me.”
