Jeremias 16
1 And you shall not take a wife, says the Lord God of Israel:
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyanginyĩrire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
2 and there shall be no son born to you, nor daughter in this place.
“Ndũkanahikanie ũgĩe na aanake kana airĩtu kũndũ gũkũ.”
3 For thus says the Lord concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that have born them, and concerning their fathers that have begotten them in this land;
Nĩgũkorwo ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga ũndũ ũkoniĩ aanake na airĩtu arĩa maciarĩirwo bũrũri ũyũ na ũkoniĩ atumia arĩa marĩ manyina mao na arũme arĩa marĩ maithe mao, atĩrĩ:
4 They shall die of grievous death; they shall not be lamented, nor buried; they shall be for an example on the face of the earth; and they shall be for the wild beasts of the land, and for the birds of the sky: they shall fall by the sword, and shall be consumed with famine.
“Nĩmagakua gĩkuũ kiumanĩte na mĩrimũ mĩũru. Matigaacakaĩrwo kana mathikwo, no magaatuĩka ta rũrua rũharaganĩtio gũkũ thĩ. Makaaniinwo na rũhiũ rwa njora na ngʼaragu, nacio ciimba ciao igatuĩka, irio cia nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ na nyamũ cia gĩthaka.”
5 Thus says the Lord, Enter not into their mourning feast, and go not to lament, and mourn not for them: for I have removed my peace from this people.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Ndũkanatoonye mũciĩ ũrĩ na ndĩa ya mathiko; ndũgathiĩ gũcakaya kana gũcaayanĩra, nĩ ũndũ nĩnjeheretie kĩrathimo gĩakwa, na wendo wakwa, o na tha ciakwa harĩ andũ aya,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
6 They shall not bewail them, nor make cuttings for them, and they shall not shave themselves [for them]:
“Andũ othe, anene na arĩa anini, nĩmagakuĩra bũrũri-inĩ ũyũ. Matigaathikwo kana macakaĩrwo, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgetiihangia kana enjwo mũtwe nĩ ũndũ wao.
7 and there shall be no bread broken in mourning for them for consolation over the dead: they shall not give one to drink a cup for consolation over his father or his mother.
Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaaheana irio cia kũhooreria acio maracakaĩra arĩa makuĩte, o na akorwo nĩ ithe kana nyina, o na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaaheana kĩndũ gĩa kũnyua nĩguo amagirie maithori.
8 You shall not enter into the banquet-house, to sit with them to eat and to drink.
“Ningĩ ndũkanatoonye mũciĩ ũrĩ na gĩathĩ, atĩ nĩguo ũikare thĩ nao mũrĩe na mũnyue.
9 For thus says the Lord God of Israel; Behold, I [will] make to cease out of this place before your eyes, and in your days, the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova, Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Matukũ-inĩ manyu nĩmũkeonera na maitho manyu ngakinyia mĩgambo ya ndũrũhĩ na ya gĩkeno mũthia o na niine mĩgambo ya mũhiki na mũhikania kũndũ gũkũ.’
10 And it shall come to pass, when you shall report to this people all these words, and they shall say to you, Therefore has the Lord pronounced against us all these evils? what is our unrighteousness? and what is our sin which we have sinned before the Lord our God?
“Rĩrĩa ũkeera andũ aya maũndũ macio mothe nao makũũrie atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte Jehova atũtuĩre mwanangĩko mũnene ũguo? Kaĩ twĩkĩte ihĩtia rĩrĩkũ? Nĩ mehia marĩkũ twĩhĩirie Jehova Ngai witũ?’
11 Then you shall say to them, Because your fathers forsook me, says the Lord, and went after strange gods and served them, and worshipped them, and forsook me, and kept not my law;
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ũmeere atĩrĩ: Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ tondũ maithe manyu nĩmandirikire, makĩrũmĩrĩra ngai ingĩ, magĩcitungatagĩra na magĩcihooyaga. Nĩmandirikire na makĩaga kũrũmia watho wakwa.
12 (and you sinned worse than your fathers; for, behold, you walk every one after the lusts of your own evil heart, so as not to listen to me);
No inyuĩ nĩmwĩkĩte maũndũ ma waganu mũgakĩra maithe manyu. Ta rorai muone ũrĩa o ũmwe wanyu arũmĩrĩire ũremi wa ngoro yake thũku, handũ ha kũnjathĩkĩra.
13 therefore I will cast you off from this good land into a land which neither you nor your fathers have known; and you shall serve their other gods, who shall have no mercy upon you.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngũmũrutũrũra muume bũrũri ũyũ mũthiĩ bũrũri mũtooĩ inyuĩ ene, o na kana ũkamenywo nĩ maithe manyu, na mũrĩ kũu nĩmũgatungatagĩra ngai ingĩ mũthenya na ũtukũ, nĩgũkorwo ndigũcooka kũmwĩka maũndũ mega.’”
14 Therefore, behold, the days come, says the Lord, when they shall no more say, The Lord lives, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “O na kũrĩ ũguo, matukũ nĩmarooka rĩrĩa andũ matagacooka kuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo, ũrĩa warutire andũ a Isiraeli kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri,’
15 but, The Lord lives, who brought up the house of Israel from the land of the north, and from all countries whither they were thrust out: and I will restore them to their own land, which I gave to their fathers.
no makoigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo, ũrĩa warutire andũ a Isiraeli bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ mwena wa gathigathini, na akĩmaruta mabũrũri-inĩ mothe kũrĩa aamathaamĩirie.’ Nĩgũkorwo nĩngamacookia bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa ndaaheire maithe mao.”
16 Behold, I [will] send many fishers, says the Lord, and they shall fish them; and afterward I will send many hunters, and they shall hunt them upon every mountain, and upon every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “No rĩrĩ, nĩngũtũmana gwĩtwo ategi a thamaki aingĩ, nao nĩmakamatega. Thuutha wa ũguo njooke ndũmanĩre aguĩmi aingĩ, nao nĩmakamaguĩma irĩma-inĩ, na tũrĩma-inĩ tuothe, na mĩatũka-inĩ ya ndwaro cia mahiga.
17 For mine eyes are upon all their ways; and their iniquities have not been hidden from mine eyes.
Maitho makwa nĩmoonaga mĩthiĩre yao yothe; ndĩngĩhithĩka harĩ niĩ, o namo mehia mao matingĩhithwo atĩ nĩguo maitho makwa mage kũmona.
18 And I will recompense their mischiefs doubly, and their sins, whereby they have profaned my land with the carcases of their abominations, and with their iniquities, whereby they have trespassed against mine inheritance.
Ngaamarĩhia maita meerĩ nĩ ũndũ wa waganu wao na mehia mao, nĩ ũndũ nĩmathaahĩtie bũrũri wakwa na mĩhaano ĩtarĩ muoyo mĩmeneku mũno, na makaiyũria igai rĩakwa na mĩhianano ĩrĩ magigi.”
19 O Lord, you are my strength, and mine help, and my refuge in days of evil: to you the Gentiles shall come from the end of the earth, and shall say, How vain [were the] idols [which] our fathers procured to themselves, and there is no help in them.
Atĩrĩrĩ Wee Jehova, o wee hinya wakwa, na kĩirigo gĩakwa kĩrũmu, o wee rĩũrĩro rĩakwa hĩndĩ ya mathĩĩna, ndũrĩrĩ igooka harĩwe ciumĩte ituri-inĩ cia thĩ, ciuge atĩrĩ, “Maithe maitũ matiarĩ na kĩndũ tiga ngai cia maheeni, o mĩhianano ĩyo ĩtarĩ kĩene na ĩtarĩ ũndũ mwega yamekĩire.
20 Will a man make gods for himself, whereas these are no gods?
Andũ nĩmethondekagĩra ngai ciao ene? Ĩĩ, no rĩrĩ, icio ti ngai!”
21 Therefore, behold, I will at this time manifest my hand to them, and will make known to them my power; and they shall know that my name is the Lord.
“Tondũ ũcio nĩngamaruta maamenye, ihinda-inĩ rĩĩrĩ nĩguo ngaamaruta ũhoro wa ũhoti na hinya wakwa. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakamenya atĩ rĩĩtwa rĩakwa nĩ Jehova.
