< Ezekiel 5 >

1 “You, son of man, take a sharp sword. You shall take it as a barber’s razor to yourself, and shall cause it to pass over your head and over your beard. Then take balances to weigh and divide the hair.
“Na rĩrĩ, mũrũ wa mũndũ, oya rũhiũ rwa njora rũũgĩ, ũrũhũthĩre ta rwenji rwa mwenjani, wĩyenje naruo mũtwe na nderu. Ningĩ ũcooke woe ratiri ya gũthima, ũgayanie njuĩrĩ ĩyo.
2 A third part you shall burn in the fire in the middle of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled. You shall take a third part, and strike with the sword around it. A third part you shall scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them.
Rĩrĩa matukũ marĩa mũrigiicĩirio magaathira-rĩ, ũgaacinĩra gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ kĩa njuĩrĩ ĩyo na mwaki kũu thĩinĩ wa itũũra inene. Oya gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ kĩayo ũthiũrũrũke itũũra rĩu inene ũkĩmĩgũthagũthaga na rũhiũ rwa njora. Nakĩo gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ kĩayo ũkĩhurunje gĩtwarwo nĩ rũhuho. Nĩgũkorwo nĩngamaingatithia na rũhiũ rwa njora ndĩrũcomorete.
3 You shall take a small number of these and bind them in the folds of your robe.
No rĩrĩ, oya gakundi ka njuĩrĩ ũthinĩkĩre ruuno-inĩ rwa nguo yaku.
4 Of these again you shall take, and cast them into the middle of the fire, and burn them in the fire. From it a fire will come out into all the house of Israel.
Cooka woe gakundi kayo ũgaikie mwaki-inĩ ũgacine. Mwaki nĩũgatheerema kuuma hau ũiyũre nyũmba yothe ya Isiraeli.
5 “The Lord Yahweh says: ‘This is Jerusalem. I have set her in the middle of the nations, and countries are around her.
“Ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga: Rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩo itũũra inene rĩa Jerusalemu, rĩrĩa haandĩte gatagatĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ rĩthiũrũkĩirio nĩ mabũrũri.
6 She has rebelled against my ordinances in doing wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries that are around her; for they have rejected my ordinances, and as for my statutes, they have not walked in them.’
No rĩrĩ, nĩ ũndũ wa waganu warĩo, nĩrĩremeire mawatho makwa o na watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo gũkĩra ndũrĩrĩ na mabũrũri macio marĩthiũrũrũkĩirie. Nĩrĩregete mawatho makwa na rĩtirũmĩrĩire watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo.
7 “Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Because you are more turbulent than the nations that are around you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my ordinances, neither have followed the ordinances of the nations that are around you;
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga: Wee ũkoretwo ũrĩ mũremi gũkĩra ndũrĩrĩ ici igũthiũrũrũkĩirie, ũkaaga kũrũmĩrĩra watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo kana kũhingia mawatho makwa. Wee o na ndwĩkĩte maũndũ maringaine na irĩra cia ndũrĩrĩ icio igũthiũrũrũkĩirie.
8 therefore the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I, even I, am against you; and I will execute judgments among you in the sight of the nations.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga: Niĩ mwene nĩngũgũũkĩrĩra, wee Jerusalemu, ngũherithie ũkĩonagwo nĩ ndũrĩrĩ icio.
9 I will do in you that which I have not done, and which I will not do anything like it any more, because of all your abominations.
Tondũ wa mĩhianano ĩyo yaku yothe ĩrĩ magigi, niĩ nĩngũgwĩka ũrĩa itarĩ ndeeka mbere ĩyo na itageeka rĩngĩ.
10 Therefore the fathers will eat the sons within you, and the sons will eat their fathers. I will execute judgments on you; and I will scatter the whole remnant of you to all the winds.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, gatagatĩ-inĩ gaku maithe nĩmakaarĩa ciana ciao, o nacio ciana irĩe maithe ma cio. Nĩngakũherithia, na hurunje matigari maku mothe matwarwo nĩ rũhuho.
11 Therefore as I live,’ says the Lord Yahweh, ‘surely, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things, and with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you. My eye won’t spare, and I will have no pity.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ti-itherũ ta ũrĩa niĩ ndũũraga muoyo, Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, tondũ nĩũthaahĩtie gĩikaro gĩakwa kĩamũre na ũndũ wa mĩhianano yaku yothe mĩbuthu na ciĩko thũũrĩku-rĩ, nĩngakwehereria wendo wakwa, na ndigacooka gũkũrora na tha, kana ngũcaaĩre.
12 A third part of you will die with the pestilence, and they will be consumed with famine within you. A third part will fall by the sword around you. A third part I will scatter to all the winds, and will draw out a sword after them.
Gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ kĩa andũ aku makooragwo nĩ mũthiro, kana maniinwo nĩ ngʼaragu o kũu thĩinĩ waku; gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ gĩkooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora nja ya thingo ciaku; nakĩo gĩcunjĩ gĩa ithatũ ngaakĩhurunja gĩtwarwo nĩ rũhuho, na gĩtengʼerio na rũhiũ rwa njora rũcomoretwo.
13 “‘Thus my anger will be accomplished, and I will cause my wrath toward them to rest, and I will be comforted. They will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken in my zeal, when I have accomplished my wrath on them.
“Hĩndĩ ĩyo marakara makwa nĩmagathira, na mangʼũrĩ makwa harĩo manyiihe, na niĩ nĩngarĩhĩrio. Ndaarĩkia kũmaitũrũrĩra mangʼũrĩ makwa, nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ Jehova, nĩ niĩ ndoiga ũguo ndĩĩrutanĩirie.
14 “‘Moreover I will make you a desolation and a reproach among the nations that are around you, in the sight of all that pass by.
“Nĩngagũtua mwanangĩko, na ngũtue kĩndũ gĩa kũnyararwo gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ iria igũthiũrũrũkĩirie, o na maitho-inĩ ma ahĩtũki.
15 So it will be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment, to the nations that are around you, when I execute judgments on you in anger and in wrath, and in wrathful rebukes—I, Yahweh, have spoken it—
Wee ũgaatuĩka wa kũmenwo, na wa kũnyararwo, na kĩndũ gĩa gũkaanania nakĩo, na kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi harĩ ndũrĩrĩ icio igũthiũrũrũkĩirie, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ngaakũherithia ndĩ na marakara na mangʼũrĩ, na ngũkaanie na mathũgũta manene. Niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ ndoiga ũguo.
16 when I send on them the evil arrows of famine that are for destruction, which I will send to destroy you. I will increase the famine on you and will break your staff of bread.
Rĩrĩa ngaakũratha na mĩguĩ yakwa ya ũragani na ya ngʼaragu, ngaakũratha ngũniine. Nĩngakũrehere ngʼaragu makĩria, na hinge njĩra ĩrĩa irio ciaku ciũkagĩra.
17 I will send on you famine and evil animals, and they will bereave you. Pestilence and blood will pass through you. I will bring the sword on you. I, Yahweh, have spoken it.’”
Nĩngakũrehere ngʼaragu na nyamũ cia gĩthaka igũtharĩkĩre, nacio nĩigakũniinĩra ciana. Mũthiro na ũiti wa thakame nĩigakũhaata, na nĩngarehithia rũhiũ rwa njora rũgũũkĩrĩre. Niĩ Jehova nĩ niĩ ndoiga ũguo.”
