Ezekiel 8
1 And it came to pass 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 Jehovah fell there upon me.
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.
2 Then I beheld, and, lo, a likeness as the appearance of fire; from the appearance of his loins and downward, fire; and from his loins and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as it were glowing metal.
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.
3 And he put forth the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner [court] that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.
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.
4 And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the appearance that I saw in the plain.
Na hau mbere yakwa nĩho riiri wa Ngai wa Isiraeli warĩ, o ta ũrĩa ndoonete kĩoneki-inĩ werũ-inĩ.
5 Then said he unto me, Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold, northward of the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.
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.
6 And he said unto me, Son of man, seest thou 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 thou shalt again see yet other great abominations.
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.”
7 And he brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold, a hole in the wall.
Ningĩ akĩndehe itoonyero-inĩ rĩa nja ĩyo. Ngĩrora ngĩona irima rũthingo-inĩ.
8 Then said he unto me, Son of man, dig now in the wall: and when I had digged in the wall, behold, a door.
Akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, aramia irima rĩu rĩrĩ rũthingo-inĩ.” Rĩrĩa ndaaramirie irima rĩu, ngĩona nĩ haarĩ na mũrango.
9 And he said unto me, Go in, and see the wicked abominations that they do here.
Ningĩ akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Toonya thĩinĩ wĩonere maũndũ marĩ magigi marĩa mareka kuo.”
10 So I went in and saw; and behold, every form of creeping things, and abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon the wall round about.
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.
11 And there stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel; and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, every man with his censer in his hand; and the odor of the cloud of incense went up.
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.
12 Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in his chambers of imagery? for they say, Jehovah seeth us not; Jehovah hath forsaken the land.
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.’”
13 He said also unto me, Thou shalt again see yet other great abominations which they do.
Ningĩ akiuga atĩrĩ, “Wee-rĩ, nĩũkũmona magĩĩka maũndũ o na marĩ magigi makĩria.”
14 Then he brought me to the door of the gate of Jehovah’s house which was toward the north; and behold, there sat the women weeping for Tammuz.
Ningĩ akĩndehe itoonyero-inĩ rĩa kĩhingo gĩa gathigathini kĩa nyũmba ya Jehova, na niĩ ngĩona andũ-a-nja maikarĩte thĩ ho magĩcakaĩra Tamuzu.
15 Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen [this], O son of man? thou shalt again see yet greater abominations than these.
Nake akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, nĩũrona maũndũ maya? Nĩũkuona maũndũ o na marĩ magigi mũno gũkĩra maya.”
16 And he brought me into the inner court of Jehovah’s house; and behold, at the door of the temple of Jehovah, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of Jehovah, and their faces toward the east; and they were worshipping the sun toward the east.
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.
17 Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen [this], O 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, lo, they put the branch to their nose.
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!
18 Therefore will I also deal in wrath; mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity; and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio niĩ nĩngameka maũndũ na marakara; ndikamaiguĩra tha kana ndĩmacaaĩre. O na mangĩkaanĩrĩra matũ-inĩ makwa, ndikamathikĩrĩria.”
