< Ezekiel 11 >

1 And the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the east gate of the house of Yahweh which looketh eastward, and lo! in the opening of the gate, twenty-five men, —and I saw in their midst Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah princes of the people.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Roho akĩnjoya na igũrũ, akĩndwara kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa nyũmba ya Jehova kĩrĩa kĩerekeire mwena wa irathĩro. Hau itoonyero-inĩ rĩu rĩa kĩhingo kĩu nĩ haarĩ arũme mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na atano, na gatagatĩ-inĩ kao ngĩona Jazania mũrũ wa Azuri, na Pelatia mũrũ wa Benaia, arĩa maarĩ atongoria a kĩrĩndĩ.
2 Then said he unto me, Son of man, These, are the men who are devising iniquity, and who are counselling wicked counsel in this city;
Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Mũrũ wa mũndũ, aya nĩo arũme arĩa marathugunda waganu, na makaheana kĩrĩra kĩa waganu itũũra-inĩ rĩĩrĩ inene.
3 who are saying, Not near! let us build houses, — It, is the caldron, and, we, are the flesh!
Moigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Githĩ ihinda rĩtigũkinya o narua rĩa gwaka nyũmba? Itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene nĩ nyũngũ ya kũruga, na ithuĩ nĩ ithuĩ nyama.’
4 Therefore, prophesy against them, —prophesy. Son of man.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio marathĩre ũhoro wa kũmookĩrĩra; marathĩre ũhoro, wee mũrũ wa mũndũ.”
5 Then fell upon me the Spirit of Yahweh, and he said unto me Say—Thus, saith Yahweh, Thus have ye said O house of Israel, Yea, the things that come up on your spirit, I, know every one.
Ningĩ Roho wa Jehova agĩũka igũrũ rĩakwa, akĩnjĩĩra njuge atĩrĩ, “Ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga: Ũguo nĩguo mũroiga, inyuĩ andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli, no niĩ-rĩ, nĩnjũũĩ ũrĩa ũrĩ meciiria-inĩ manyu.
6 Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, - And have filled her streets with slain.
Nĩmũũragĩte andũ aingĩ itũũra-inĩ rĩĩrĩ inene, na mũkaiyũria ciimba njĩra-inĩ ciarĩo.
7 Therefore Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Your slain. whom ye have laid in her midst, They are the flesh, and She is the caldron, —when ye are taken out of her midst.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga: Ciimba icio mũikĩtie kũu nĩcio nyama, narĩo itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene nĩrĩo nyũngũ, no Niĩ nĩngũmũingata muume kuo.
8 A sword, have ye feared, — And a sword, will I bring in upon you, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
Inyuĩ nĩmwĩtigĩrĩte rũhiũ rwa njora, na rũhiũ rũu rwa njora no ruo ngaamũũkĩrĩra naruo, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.
9 So will I take you forth out of her midst, and will deliver you into the hand of foreigners, —and will execute upon you judgments.
Nĩngamũrutũrũra muume itũũra-inĩ inene, na ndĩmũneane moko-inĩ ma andũ a kũngĩ, na ndĩmũherithie.
10 By the sword, shall ye fall, Upon the boundary of Israel, will I judge you, —So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.
Inyuĩ mũkooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, na nĩngamũtuĩra ciira kũu mĩhaka-inĩ ya Isiraeli. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova.
11 This city shall not serve you for a caldron, Neither shall, ye, serve in the midst thereof for flesh, —Near the boundary of Israel, will I judge you,
Itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene rĩtigatuĩka nyũngũ harĩ inyuĩ, kana inyuĩ mũtuĩke nyama thĩinĩ warĩo; nĩngamũtuĩra ciira kũu mĩhaka-inĩ ya Isiraeli.
12 So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh. In whose statutes, ye have not walked And whose appointments, ye have not executed, — But according to the appointments of the nations that are round about you, have ye done.
Na inyuĩ nĩmũkamenya atĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, nĩ ũndũ mũtirũmĩrĩire kĩrĩra kĩa watho wakwa wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, kana mũkarũmia mawatho makwa, no mwĩkĩte maũndũ maringaine na ma ndũrĩrĩ iria imũrigiicĩirie.”
13 And it came to pass as I prophesied, that Pelatiah son of Benaiah died, —so then I fell down upon my face and made outcry with a loud voice and said— Alas! My Lord Yahweh! A full end, art thou making of the remnant of Israel?
Na rĩrĩa ndaarathaga, Pelatia mũrũ wa Benaia agĩkua. Hĩndĩ ĩyo ngĩĩgũithia ngĩturumithia ũthiũ thĩ, ngĩanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene, ngĩũria atĩrĩ, “Hĩ, Mwathani Jehova! Nĩũkũniina matigari ma Isiraeli biũ?”
14 Then came the word of Yahweh unto me saying:
Kiugo kĩa Jehova nĩkĩanginyĩrĩire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
15 Son of man Thine own brethren, thine own brethren the men of thy kindred, even all the house of Israel all of it are they to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far away from Yahweh, To us, it is that the land, hath been given, for a possession!
“Mũrũ wa mũndũ, ariũ a thoguo, ariũ a thoguo arĩa marĩ a rũrĩra rwanyu na nyũmba yothe ya Isiraeli, acio nĩo andũ a Jerusalemu maarĩtie ũhoro wao makoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Marĩ haraaya mũno na Jehova; bũrũri ũyũ nĩ ithuĩ twaheirwo ũtuĩke witũ.’
16 Therefore, say, Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh, Although I have removed them far away among the nations, And although I have dispersed them throughout the lands Yet have I become to them a sanctuary for a little while, in the lands which they have entered
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio uga atĩrĩ: ‘Mwathani Jehova ekuuga ũũ: O na gũtuĩka nĩndamatwarithirie kũraya gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ, na ngĩmahurunjĩra mabũrũri-inĩ, no niĩ nduĩkĩte handũ-hao-harĩa-haamũre, mabũrũri-inĩ kũu mathiĩte, gwa kahinda kanini.’
17 Therefore say, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Therefore will I assemble you from among the peoples, And gather you out of the lands wherein ye have been dispersed, - And will give you the soil of Israel.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio uga atĩrĩ: ‘Ũũ nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga: Nĩngamũcookanĩrĩria kuuma ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ, na ndĩmũrute mabũrũri-inĩ kũrĩa mwahurunjirwo, na ndĩmũcookerie bũrũri wa Isiraeli rĩngĩ.’
18 So shall they come in thither, — and take away all her detestable things, and all her abominations, out of her;
“Nĩmagacooka kuo, na meeherie mĩhiano ĩyo yakuo mĩthũku yothe, na mĩhianano ĩyo ĩrĩ magigi.
19 And I will give them another heart, And a new spirit, will I put within you, —And will take away the heart of stone out of their flesh, and give them a heart of flesh:
Nĩngamahe ũũrũmwe wa ngoro, na njĩkĩre roho mwerũ thĩinĩ wao; nĩngeheria ũmũ wa ngoro thĩinĩ wao ndĩmahe ngoro njororo ta nyama.
20 To the end that in my statutes, they may walk, And mine appointments, they may keep, and do them, — So shall they become my people, And I will become their God.
Ningĩ nĩmakarũmagĩrĩra kĩrĩra gĩakwa gĩa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, na marũmagie mawatho makwa. Nĩmagatuĩka andũ akwa, na niĩ nduĩke Ngai wao.
21 But as for them who having a heart for their detestable things and for their abominations after their own heart, do walk, Their way upon their own heads, will I render, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
No rĩrĩ, ha ũhoro wa andũ arĩa ngoro ciao ciĩyamũrĩire mĩhiano ĩyo mĩũru na mĩhianano ĩyo ĩrĩ magigi, nĩngatũma o ene macookererwo nĩ ũũru ũrĩa mekĩte, ũguo nĩguo Mwathani Jehova ekuuga.”
22 Then did the cherubim lift up their wings, the wheels also going in unison with them, — the glory of the God of Israel, being over them above.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo akerubi acio, marĩ na magũrũ ma ngaari mĩena-inĩ, magĩtambũrũkia mathagu mao, naguo riiri wa Ngai wa Isiraeli warĩ igũrũ rĩao.
23 Thus went up the glory of Yahweh, out from the midst of the city, —and stood on the mountain, which is on the east of the city.
Riiri ũcio wa Jehova ũkĩambata uumĩte thĩinĩ wa itũũra rĩu inene na ũgĩikara igũrũ rĩa kĩrĩma kĩrĩa kĩarĩ mwena wa irathĩro warĩo.
24 And, the spirit lifted me up, and brought me to Chaldea unto them of the captivity, in the vision by the Spirit of God, —thus went up from me, the vision which I had seen.
Roho akĩnjoya na igũrũ, akĩndwara kũrĩ andũ arĩa maatahĩtwo magatwarwo bũrũri wa Babuloni, o ndĩ thĩinĩ wa kĩoneki kĩu ndoonetio nĩ Roho ũcio wa Ngai. Hĩndĩ ĩyo kĩoneki kĩu ndoonetio gĩkĩnjeherera,
25 So I spake unto them of the captivity, —all the words of Yahweh which he had shewed me.
na niĩ ngĩĩra andũ acio maatahĩtwo ũhoro wothe ũrĩa Jehova aanyonetie.
