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 is a fountain opened To the house of David And to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, For sin and for impurity.
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 it has come to pass in that day,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts, “I cut off the names of the idols from the land, And they are not remembered anymore, And also the prophets and the spirit of uncleanness I cause to pass away from 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 it has been, when one prophesies again, That his parents, his father and his mother, Have said to him, You do not live, For you have spoken falsehood in the Name of YHWH, And his father and his mother, his parents, Have pierced him through in his prophesying.
4 “Mũthenya ũcio mũnabii o wothe nĩagaconoka nĩ ũndũ wa kĩoneki kĩa ũrathi wake. Ndakehumba nguo ya maguoya ya mũnabii nĩguo aheenie andũ.
And it has come to pass in that day, The prophets are ashamed, each of his vision, in his prophesying, And they do not put on a hairy robe to deceive.
5 Akoigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Niĩ ndirĩ mũnabii, ndĩ mũrĩmi, ndũũragio nĩ mũgũnda kuuma ũnini-inĩ wakwa.’
And [one] has said, I am not a prophet, A man—I am a tiller of ground, For ground [is] my possession from my youth.
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] has said to him, What [are] these wounds in your hands? And he has said, Because I was struck [at] home by my lovers.
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.”
Sword, awake against My Shepherd, And against a hero—My Fellow,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts. “Strike the Shepherd, and the flock is scattered, And I have put back My hand on the little 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 it has come to pass, In all the land,” a declaration of YHWH, “Two parts in it are cut off—they expire, And the third is left in it.
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 have brought the third into fire, And refined them like a refining of silver, And have tried them like a trying of gold, It calls in My Name, and I answer it, I have said, It [is] My people, And it says, YHWH [is] my God!”
