1 “Mũthenya ũcio gĩthima nĩgĩgathikũrio nĩ ũndũ wa nyũmba ya Daudi o na nĩ ũndũ wa andũ arĩa matũũraga Jerusalemu, gĩthima gĩa kũmatheria mehia o na thaahu.”
In that day there shall be a fountaine opened to the house of Dauid, and to the inhabitants of Ierusalem, for sinne and for vncleannesse.
2 Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthenya ũcio nĩnganiina marĩĩtwa ma mĩhianano ya kũhooywo mathire bũrũri-inĩ, na matigacooka kũririkanwo rĩngĩ. Nĩngeheria anabii hamwe na roho ũcio wa thaahu, mathire bũrũri-inĩ.
And in that day, sayth the Lord of hostes, I will cut off the names of the idoles out of the land: and they shall no more be remembred: and I will cause the prophets, and the vncleane spirit to depart out of the land.
3 Na rĩrĩ, kũngĩgaakorwo na mũndũ ũrathiĩ na mbere na kũratha mohoro-rĩ, ithe na nyina, arĩa mamũciarĩte, nĩ makaamwĩra atĩrĩ, ‘No nginya ũkue, nĩ ũndũ nĩwarĩtie maheeni ũkĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova.’ Rĩrĩa akaaratha mohoro-rĩ, aciari ake mwene nĩmakamũtheeca na rũhiũ.
And when any shall yet prophesie, his father and his mother that begate him, shall say vnto him, Thou shalt not liue: for thou speakest lies in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother that begat him, shall thrust him through, when he prophesieth.
4 “Mũthenya ũcio mũnabii o wothe nĩagaconoka nĩ ũndũ wa kĩoneki kĩa ũrathi wake. Ndakehumba nguo ya maguoya ya mũnabii nĩguo aheenie andũ.
And in that day shall the prophetes be ashamed euery one of his vision, when he hath prophesied: neither shall they weare a rough garment to deceiue.
5 Akoigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ ndirĩ mũnabii, ndĩ mũrĩmi, ndũũragio nĩ mũgũnda kuuma ũnini-inĩ wakwa.’
But he shall say, I am no Prophet: I am an husbandman: for man taught me to be an heardman from my youth vp.
6 Nake mũndũ angĩkamũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Ironda ici irĩ mwĩrĩ waku nĩ cia kĩ?’ we agaacookia atĩrĩ, ‘Ironda ici ndagĩĩrĩire nyũmba-inĩ ya arata akwa.’
And one shall say vnto him, What are these woundes in thine hands? Then he shall answere, Thus was I wounded in the house of my friendes.
7 “Arahũka, wee rũhiũ rwa njora, ũũkĩrĩre mũrĩithi wakwa, ũkĩrĩra mũndũ ũcio wa hakuhĩ na niĩ!” ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga. “Ringa mũrĩithi, nacio ngʼondu nĩikũhurunjũka, nakuo guoko gwakwa ndĩkwerekerie kũrĩ tũgondu, ndĩtũũkĩrĩre.”
Arise, O sword, vpon my shepheard, and vpon the man, that is my fellow, sayth the Lord of hostes: smite the shepheard, and the sheepe shall be scattered: and I will turne mine hand vpon the litle ones.
8 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Bũrũri-inĩ guothe, andũ icunjĩ igĩrĩ thĩinĩ wa ithatũ nĩmakooragwo, mathire; no rĩrĩ, gĩcunjĩ kĩmwe gĩa ithatũ nĩgĩgatigara kuo.
And in all the land, sayeth the Lord, two partes therein shall be cut off, and die: but the third shall be left therein.
9 Gĩcunjĩ kĩu gĩa ithatũ kĩa andũ nĩngakĩhĩtũkĩria mwaki-inĩ; ngaamatheria ta betha, na ndĩmagerie ta ũrĩa thahabu igeragio. Nĩmagakaĩra rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, na niĩ nĩngametĩka; Nĩngoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Aya nĩ andũ akwa,’ nao moige atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova nĩwe Ngai witũ.’”
And I will bring that third part thorowe the fire, and will fine them as the siluer is fined, and will trye them as golde is tryed: they shall call on my Name, and I will heare them: I will say, It is my people, and they shall say, The Lord is my God.
