Jeremiah 46
1 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremias the prophet against the Gentiles,
Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩkoniĩ ndũrĩrĩ ĩrĩa yakinyĩrĩire mũnabii Jeremia:
2 Against Egypt, against the army of Pharao Nechao king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Charcamis, whom Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon defeated, in the fourth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda.
Ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ bũrũri wa Misiri: Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ya gũũkĩrĩra mbũtũ cia ita cia Firaũni Neko, mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Misiri, iria ciahooteirwo kũu Karikemishi, Rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Farati, nĩ Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni, mwaka-inĩ wa kana wa wathani wa Jehoiakimu mũrũ wa Josia, mũthamaki wa Juda:
3 Prepare ye the shield and buckler, and go forth to battle.
“Thagathagai ngo cianyu, iria nene na tũrĩa tũnini, mũthiĩ mbaara-inĩ!
4 Harness the horses, and get up, ye horsemen: stand forth with helmets, furbish the spears, put on coats of mail.
Tandĩkai mbarathi, mũcihaice! Rũgamai o mũndũ handũ hake mwĩkĩrĩte ngũbia cia igera! Kumuthai matimũ manyu, na mwĩhumbe nguo cianyu cia mbaara.
5 What then? I have seen them dismayed, and turning their backs, their valiant ones slain: they fled apace, and they looked not back: terror was round about, saith the Lord.
Nĩ kĩĩ ndĩrona? Nĩamaku mũno, nĩmaracooka na thuutha, njamba ciao nĩndoorie. Nĩmetharĩte na ihenya matekwĩhũgũra, na kũrĩ na itua-nda mĩena yothe,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
6 Let not the swift flee away, nor the strong think to escape: they are overthrown, and fallen down, towards the north by the river Euphrates.
“Arĩa marĩ ihenya matingĩhota kũũra, kana arĩa marĩ hinya meethare. Mwena wa gathigathini kũu Rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Farati mahĩngagwo makagũa.
7 Who is this that cometh up as a flood: and his streams swell like those of rivers?
“Nũũ ũyũ wĩyambararĩtie ta Rũũĩ rwa Nili, akaambarara ta njũũĩ irĩ na ndiihũ cia maaĩ?
8 Egypt riseth up like a flood, and the waves thereof shall be moved as rivers, and he shall say: I will go up and will cover the earth: I will destroy the city, and its inhabitants.
Bũrũri wa Misiri wĩyambararĩtie ta Rũũĩ rwa Nili, ũkambarara ta njũũĩ irĩ na ndiihũ cia maaĩ. Oigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩngũiyũra nginya humbĩre thĩ; nĩngwananga matũũra marĩa manene na andũ arĩa matũũraga kuo.’
9 Get ye up on horses, and glory in chariots, and let the valiant men come forth, the Ethiopians, and the Libyans that hold the shield, and the Lydians that take, and shoot arrows.
Guthũkai, inyuĩ mbarathi ici! Matengʼeriei hatarĩ itherũ, inyuĩ mũtwarithagia ngaari cia ita. Umagarai, inyuĩ njamba ici cia ita: inyuĩ andũ a Kushi na a Putu, inyuĩ mũũĩ kũrũmia ngo, na inyuĩ andũ a Ludu, inyuĩ mũgeetaga ũta.
10 For this is the day of the Lord the God of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may revenge himself of his enemies: the sword shall devour, and shall be filled, and shall be drunk with their blood: for there is a sacrifice of the Lord God of hosts in the north country, by the river Euphrates.
No rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũcio nĩ wa Mwathani, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe: nĩ mũthenya wa kwĩrĩhĩria, erĩhĩrie harĩ thũ ciake. Rũhiũ rwa njora rũkaarĩa nginya rũhũũne, rũkaanyua thakame yao nginya rũnyootoke. Nĩgũkorwo Mwathani, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, nĩakarutĩra igongona kũu bũrũri wa mwena wa gathigathini gũkuhĩ na Rũũĩ rwa Farati.
11 Go up into Galaad, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt: in vain dost thou multiply medicines, there shall be no cure for thee.
“Ambata, ũkinye Gileadi, ũgĩĩre ndawa, wee Mũirĩtu Gathirange, Mwarĩ wa bũrũri wa Misiri. No rĩrĩ, ũingĩhagia ndawa icio mũno, o tũhũ; gũtirĩ ingĩkũhonia.
12 The nations have heard of thy disgrace, and thy howling hath filled the land: for the strong hath stumbled against the strong, and both are fallen together.
Ndũrĩrĩ nĩikaigua ũhoro wa gũconorithio gwaku; kĩrĩro gĩaku gĩkaaiyũra thĩ. Njamba ĩkaahĩngagwo nĩ ĩrĩa ĩngĩ; cierĩ ikaagũa thĩ hamwe.”
13 The word that the Lord spoke to Jeremias the prophet, how Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon should come and strike the land of Egypt:
Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa Jehova aaheire Jeremia ũcio mũnabii ĩkoniĩ gũũka kwa Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni, gũtharĩkĩra bũrũri wa Misiri:
14 Declare ye to Egypt, and publish it in Magdal, and let it be known in Memphis, and in Taphnis: say ye: Stand up, and prepare thyself: for the sword shall devour all round about thee.
“Anĩrĩrai ũhoro ũyũ bũrũri-inĩ wa Misiri, na mũũhunjie kũu Migidoli; ningĩ mũũhunjanĩrie kũu Nofu na Tahapanahesi: ‘Rũgamai harĩa hamwagĩrĩire na mwĩhaarĩrie, nĩgũkorwo rũhiũ rwa njora nĩrũrarĩa arĩa mamũthiũrũrũkĩirie.’
15 Why are thy valiant men come to nothing? they stood not: because the Lord hath overthrown them.
Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma njamba cianyu cia ita ciaraganio thĩ? Itingĩhota gwĩtiiria, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩwe ũgaacitindĩka acigũithie thĩ.
16 He hath multiplied them that fall, and one hath fallen upon another, and they shall say: Arise, and let us return to our own people, and to the land our nativity, from the sword of the dove.
Nĩikahĩngwo rĩngĩ na rĩngĩ; ikaagũanĩra o mũndũ igũrũ rĩa ũrĩa ũngĩ. Ikoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Ũkĩrai, nĩtũcookei kũrĩ andũ aitũ, kũrĩa twaciarĩirwo, tweherere rũhiũ rũrũ rwa njora rwa mũtũhatĩrĩria.’
17 Call ye the name of Pharao king Egypt, a tumult time hath brought.
Marĩ kũu makaanagĩrĩra, makoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Firaũni mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Misiri, nĩ inegene rĩa tũhũ; nĩorirwo nĩ mweke wake.’”
18 As I live, (saith the King, whose name is the Lord of hosts, ) as Thabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he come.
Mũthamaki, o we ũrĩa wĩtagwo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa niĩ ndũũraga muoyo-rĩ, nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ ũroka, ũgaakorwo ahaana ta Kĩrĩma gĩa Taboru kĩrĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka irĩma iria ingĩ, o na ta ũrĩa Kĩrĩma gĩa Karimeli kĩhaana kĩrĩ hakuhĩ na iria.
19 Furnish thyself to go into captivity, thou daughter inhabitant of Egypt: for Memphis shall be made desolate, and shall be forsaken and uninhabited.
Oha mĩrigo yaku ya gũthiĩ nayo kũrĩa ũgaatahwo, ũtwarwo, wee ũtũũraga bũrũri wa Misiri, nĩgũkorwo Nofu gũkaanangwo, kwage kĩndũ, o na gũkire ihooru, gũtarĩ mũndũ wa gũgũtũũra.
20 Egypt is like a fair and beautiful heifer: there shall come from the north one that shall goad her.
“Bũrũri wa Misiri ũhaana moori njega mũno, no rĩrĩ, nĩ harĩ mbogo kanyarare ĩrooka kũmĩũkĩrĩra, yumĩte mwena wa gathigathini.
21 Her hirelings also that lived in the midst of her, like fatted calves are turned back, and are fled away together, and they could not stand, for the day of their slaughter is come upon them, the time of their visitation.
Thigari cia mũcaara iria irĩ kuo ihaana ta njaũ cia gĩcegũ. O nao nĩmakagarũrũka more marĩ hamwe, matikahota gwĩtiiria, nĩgũkorwo mũthenya wa mwanangĩko nĩũkamakorerera, na nĩrĩo ihinda rĩao rĩa kũherithio.
22 Her voice shall sound like brass, for they shall hasten with an army, and with axes they shall come against her, as hewers of wood.
Mũrurumo wa andũ a Misiri ũgaatuĩka ta wa nyoka rĩrĩa ĩrethara, rĩrĩa thũ ĩgooka ĩrĩ na hinya; magaagũũkĩrĩra na mathanwa, o ta andũ maratema mĩtĩ.”
23 They have cut down her forest, saith the Lord, which cannot be counted: they are multiplied above locusts, and are without number.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩmagatema mũtitũ wakuo, o na ũrĩ mũtumanu ũguo. Tondũ nĩ andũ aingĩ mũno gũkĩra ngigĩ, na matingĩtarĩka.
24 The daughter of Egypt is confounded, and delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
Mwarĩ ũcio wa bũrũri wa Misiri nĩagaconorithio, akaanenganĩrwo kũrĩ andũ a mwena wa gathigathini.”
25 The Lord of hosts the God of Israel hath said: Behold I will visit upon the tumult of Alexandria, and upon Pharao, and upon Egypt, and upon her gods, and upon her kings, and upon Pharao, upon them that trust in him.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Ndĩ hakuhĩ kũherithia Amoni ngai ya Thebesi, na Firaũni, na bũrũri wa Misiri na ngai ciakuo, na athamaki akuo, na arĩa othe mehokaga Firaũni.
26 And I will deliver them into the hand of them that seek their lives, into the hand of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterwards it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the Lord.
Nĩngamaneana kũrĩ andũ arĩa mendaga kũmaruta muoyo, ndĩmaneane kũrĩ Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni na anene ake. No rĩrĩ, thuutha-inĩ bũrũri wa Misiri nĩgũgatũũrwo nĩ andũ rĩngĩ o ta tene,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
27 And thou my servant Jacob, fear not and be not thou dismayed, O Israel: for behold I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed out of the land of thy captivity: and Jacob shall return and be at rest, and prosper: and there shall be none to terrify him.
“Tiga gwĩtigĩra, wee Jakubu ndungata yakwa: o nawe Isiraeli-rĩ, ndũkamake. Ti-itherũ nĩngakũhonokia ngũrutĩte kũndũ kũraya, njiaro ciaku ciume bũrũri ũrĩa ciatahirwo igĩtwarwo. Jakubu nĩagakorwo na thayũ na ũgitĩri rĩngĩ, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgaatũma acooke gwĩtigĩra.”
28 And thou, my servant Jacob, fear not, saith the Lord: because I am with thee, for I will consume all the nations to which I have cast thee out: but thee I will not consume, but I will correct thee in judgment, neither will I spare thee as if thou wert innocent.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ “Tiga gwĩtigĩra, wee Jakubu ndungata yakwa, nĩgũkorwo ndĩ hamwe nawe. o na ingĩkaniinũkia ndũrĩrĩ ciothe kũrĩa ndarekire mũtwarwo mũrĩ atahe-rĩ, wee ndigakũniina biũ, no rĩrĩ, nĩngakũherithia na kĩhooto; ndigakũreka ũthiĩ o ũguo ũtaherithĩtio.”
