< Ezekiel 7 >

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
2 And thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God to the land of Israel: The end is come, the end is come upon the four quarters of the land.
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekwĩra bũrũri wa Isiraeli: Ithirĩro! Ithirĩro nĩrĩkinyĩrĩire ituri icio inya cia bũrũri.
3 Now is an end come upon thee, and I will send my wrath upon thee, and I will judge thee according to thy ways: and I will set all thy abominations against thee.
Rĩu ithirĩro nĩrĩgũkinyĩrĩire, na nĩngũrekereria marakara makwa magũũkĩrĩre. Nĩngagũtuĩra ciira kũringana na mĩthiĩre yaku na ngũrĩhe kũringana na mĩtugo yaku yothe ĩrĩ magigi.
4 And my eye shall not spare thee, and I will shew thee no pity: but I will lay thy ways upon thee, and thy abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
Ndigakũiguĩra tha kana ngũcaaĩre; ti-itherũ, nĩngakũrĩha nĩ ũndũ wa mĩthiĩre yaku na mĩtugo yaku ĩrĩ magigi gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
5 Thus saith the Lord God: One affliction, behold an affliction is come.
“Ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga: ‘Mwanangĩko! Mwanangĩko ũtarĩ waiguuo nĩũrooka.
6 An end is come, the end is come, it hath awaked against thee: behold it is come.
Ithirĩro nĩrĩkinyu! Ithirĩro nĩrĩkinyu! Rĩarahũkĩte rĩgũũkĩrĩire. Nĩrĩkinyu!
7 Destruction is come upon thee that dwellest in the land: the time is come, the day of slaughter is near, and not of the joy of mountains.
Nĩũkoretwo nĩ mũtino, wee ũtũũraga bũrũri-inĩ. Ihinda nĩrĩkinyu, mũthenya ũcio nĩũkuhĩrĩirie; nĩ kũrĩ na guoya mũnene, na gũtirĩ gĩkeno kũu irĩma-inĩ.
8 Now very shortly I will pour out my wrath upon thee, and I will accomplish my anger in thee: and I will judge thee according to thy ways, and I will lay upon thee all thy crimes.
Niĩ ndĩ hakuhĩ gũgũitĩrĩria mangʼũrĩ makwa, na ndĩĩrute marakara nawe; nĩngagũtuĩra ciira kũringana na mĩthiĩre yaku, na ngũrĩhe nĩ ũndũ wa mĩtugo yaku yothe ĩrĩ magigi.
9 And my eye shall not spare, neither will I shew mercy: but I will lay thy ways upon thee, and thy abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and you shall know that I am the Lord that strike.
Ndigakũiguĩra tha kana ngũcaaĩre; nĩngakũrĩha kũringana na mĩthiĩre yaku na mĩtugo yaku ĩrĩ magigi gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩũkamenya atĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova ndĩrahũũrana.
10 Behold the day, behold it is come: destruction is gone forth, the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded.
“‘Mũthenya nĩguo ũyũ! Nĩmũkinyu! Mũtino nĩmũkinyu, rũthanju nĩrũthundũkĩte, naguo mwĩtĩĩo nĩũcanũkĩte!
11 Iniquity is risen up into a rod of impiety: nothing of them shall remain, nor of their people, nor of the noise of them: and there shall be no rest among them.
Maũndũ ma ũhinya nĩmakũrĩte magatuĩka rũthanju rwa kũherithia waganu; gũtirĩ andũ magaatigara, gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wa kĩrĩndĩ kĩu; gũtirĩ ũtonga, na gũtirĩ kĩndũ kĩa bata gĩgaatigara.
12 The time is come, the day is at hand: let not the buyer rejoice: nor the seller mourn: for wrath is upon all the people thereof.
Ihinda rĩu nĩrĩkinyu, mũthenya ũcio nĩũkinyĩte. Mũgũri nĩatige gũkena kana mwendia aigue kĩeha, nĩgũkorwo mangʼũrĩ nĩmakinyĩrĩire kĩrĩndĩ kĩu gĩothe.
13 For the seller shall not return to that which he hath sold, although their life be yet among the living. For the vision which regardeth all the multitude thereof, shall not go back: neither shall man be strengthened in the iniquity of his life.
Mwendia ndagakũũra gĩthaka kĩrĩa endetie rĩrĩa rĩothe acio eerĩ marĩ muoyo, nĩgũkorwo kĩoneki kĩu gĩkoniĩ kĩrĩndĩ kĩu gĩothe gĩtikagarũrwo. Tondũ wa mehia mao, gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wao ũgaatũũria muoyo wake.
14 Blow the trumpet, let all be made ready, yet there is none to go to the battle: for my wrath shall be upon all the people thereof.
O na mangĩhuha karumbeta, na magĩe na maũndũ mothe, gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe ũgaathiĩ ita-inĩ, nĩgũkorwo mangʼũrĩ makwa nĩmakinyĩrĩire kĩrĩndĩ kĩu gĩothe.
15 The sword without: and the pestilence, and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die by the sword: and they that are in the city, shall be devoured by the pestilence, and the famine.
“‘Mwena wa na nja kũrĩ na rũhiũ rwa njora, mwena wa na thĩinĩ kũrĩ na mũthiro na ngʼaragu; arĩa marĩ kũu mĩgũnda-inĩ makooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, nao arĩa marĩ thĩinĩ wa itũũra inene makaaniinwo nĩ ngʼaragu na mũthiro.
16 And such of them as shall flee shall escape: and they shall be in the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them trembling, every one for his iniquity.
Arĩa othe magaatigara na mahonoke magaakorwo irĩma-inĩ, magĩcaaya ta ndutura cia ituamba-inĩ, o mũndũ tondũ wa mehia make.
17 All hands shall be made feeble, and all knees shall run with water.
Guoko o guothe nĩgũkaregera, na iru o rĩothe nĩrĩkaaga hinya o ta maaĩ.
18 And they shall gird themselves with haircloth, and fear shall cover them, and shame shall be upon every face, and baldness upon all their heads.
Nĩmakahumbwo nguo cia makũnia, na mahumbwo kĩmako kĩnene. Mothiũ mao nĩmakahumbwo thoni, na menjwo mĩtwe yao.
19 Their silver shall be cast forth, and their gold shall become a dunghill. Their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord. They shall not satisfy their soul, and their bellies shall not be filled: because it hath been the stumblingblock of their iniquity.
Nĩmakahurunja betha yao barabara, nayo thahabu yao ĩtuuo kĩndũ kĩrĩ thaahu. Betha yao na thahabu itikahota kũmahonokia mũthenya wa mangʼũrĩ ma Jehova. Itikamaniinĩra ngʼaragu kana ihũũnie nda ciao, nĩgũkorwo nĩcio itũmĩte mahĩngwo magatuĩka a kwĩhia.
20 And they have turned the ornament of their jewels into pride, and have made of it the images of their abominations, and idols: therefore I have made it an uncleanness to them.
Nĩmetĩĩagĩra ũgemu wa mathaga mao, na makamahũthĩra gũthondeka mĩhianano yao ĩrĩ magigi, na mĩhiano ĩtarĩ kĩene. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, nĩngatũma indo icio ituĩke kĩndũ kĩrĩ thaahu harĩo.
21 And I will give it into the hands of strangers for spoil, and to the wicked of the earth for a prey, and they shall defile it.
Nĩngacineana ciothe kũrĩ andũ a kũngĩ ituĩke ndaho, na ndĩcineane kũrĩ andũ arĩa aaganu a gũkũ thĩ ituĩke ta itunyanĩtwo, nao nĩmagacithaahia.
22 And I will turn away my face from them, and they shall violate my secret place: and robbers shall enter into it, and defile it.
Nĩngamahutatĩra ndige kũmona, nao nĩmagathaahia handũ harĩa nyendete mũno; atunyani nĩmagatoonya ho mahathaahie.
23 Make a shutting up: for the land is full of the judgment of blood, and the city is full of iniquity.
“‘Haarĩria mĩnyororo, tondũ bũrũri wothe ũiyũrĩte ũiti wa thakame, narĩo itũũra inene rĩkaiyũra maũndũ ma ũhinya.
24 And I will bring the worse of the nations, and they shall possess their houses: and I will make the pride of the mighty to cease, and they shall possess their sanctuary.
Nĩngarehe ndũrĩrĩ iria njaganu mũno ciĩgwatĩre nyũmba ciao ituĩke ciao; nĩngatũma mwĩtĩĩo wa andũ arĩa marĩ hinya ũthire, nakuo kũndũ kwao kũrĩa kwamũre nĩgũgathaahio.
25 When distress cometh upon them, they will seek for peace and there shall be none.
Kĩmakania gĩoka-rĩ, magaacaragia thayũ, no ndũkooneka.
26 Trouble shall come upon trouble, and rumour upon rumour, and they shall seek a vision of the prophet, and the law shall perish from the priest, and counsel from the ancients.
Mũtino ũgooka ũrũmanĩrĩire na ũngĩ, naguo mũhuhu ũũke ũrũmanĩrĩire na ũngĩ. Nĩmakageria kũgĩa na kĩoneki kuuma kũrĩ mũnabii; ũrutani wa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ũkoniĩ watho nĩũgaathira, o ta ũrĩa kĩrĩra gĩa athuuri o nakĩo gĩgaathira.
27 The king shall mourn, and the prince shall be clothed with sorrow, and the hands of the people of the land shall be troubled. I will do to them according to their way, and will judge them according to their judgments: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Mũthamaki nĩagacakaya, nake mũrũ wa mũthamaki nĩakahumbwo gũkua ngoro, namo moko ma andũ a bũrũri ũcio nĩmakainaina. Na niĩ nĩngameka kũringana na mĩthiĩre yao, na ndĩmatuĩre ciira kũringana na ũrĩa magĩrĩire gũtuĩrwo. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.’”
