Jeremiah 49
1 Against the children of Ammon. Thus saith the Lord: Hath Israel no sons? or hath he no heir? Why then hath Melchom inherited Gad: and his people dwelt in his cities?
Ũhoro ũkoniĩ andũ a Amoni: Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Kaĩ Isiraeli atarĩ na aanake? Ndarĩ na andũ a kũmũgaya? Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgĩtũmĩte Moleku egwatĩre bũrũri wa Gadi? Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte andũ ake matũũre matũũra-inĩ makuo?”
2 Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will cause the noise of war to be heard in Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and it shall be destroyed into a heap, and her daughters shall be burnt with fire, and Israel shall possess them that have possessed him, saith the Lord.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “No rĩrĩ, matukũ nĩmarooka rĩrĩa ngoigithia mbu ya mbaara ya gũũkĩrĩra Raba kũu kwa andũ a Amoni; nakuo gũgaatuĩka hĩba ya mwanangĩko, natuo tũtũũra tũrĩa tũkũrigiicĩirie tũcinwo na mwaki. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo Isiraeli akaingata andũ arĩa maamũingatĩte,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
3 Howl, O Hesebon, for Hai is wasted. Cry, ye daughters of Rabbath, gird yourselves with haircloth: mourn and go about by the hedges: for Melchom shall be carried into captivity, his priests, and his princes together.
“Wee Heshiboni, girĩka, nĩgũkorwo Ai nĩ kwanange! Rĩrai, inyuĩ mũtũũraga Raba! Mwĩhumbei nguo cia makũnia mũcakae; Tengʼerai ũũ na ũũ kũu thingo-inĩ ciakuo, nĩgũkorwo Moleku nĩegũtahwo atwarwo bũrũri ũngĩ, hamwe na athĩnjĩri-ngai na anene ake.
4 Why gloriest thou in the valleys? thy valley hath flowed away, O delicate daughter, that hast trusted in thy treasures, and hast said: Who shall come to me?
Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga wĩrahĩre ituamba ciaku, ũkeraha nĩ ũndũ wa ituamba ciaku icio noru mũno? Wee mwarĩ ũyũ ũtarĩ mwĩhokeku, wee ũtũũrĩte wĩhokete ũtonga waku ũkiugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Nũũ ũngĩĩtharĩkĩra?’
5 Behold I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord God of hosts, from all that are round about thee: and you shall be scattered every one out of one another’s sight, neither shall there be any to gather together them that flee.
Nĩngakũrehithĩria imakania kuuma kũrĩ arĩa othe makũrigiicĩirie,” nĩguo Mwathani ekuuga, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe. “Andũ othe anyu nĩmakaingatwo, na gũtikagĩa na mũndũ wa gũcookereria andũ acio mahurunjũkĩte.
6 And afterwards I will cause the captives of the children of Ammon to return, saith the Lord.
“No rĩrĩ, thuutha-inĩ nĩngacookia ũgaacĩru wa andũ a Amoni,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
7 Against Edom. Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Is wisdom no more in Theman? counsel is perished from her children: their wisdom is become unprofitable.
Ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ Edomu: Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Kaĩ gũtarĩ na ũũgĩ ũtigarĩte kũu Temani? Kaĩ kĩrĩra gĩthirĩte harĩ andũ arĩa akuũku? Kaĩ ũũgĩ wao ũbuthĩte biũ?
8 Flee and turn your backs, go down into the deep hole, ye inhabitants of Dedan: for I have brought the destruction of Esau upon him, the time of his visitation.
Garũrũkai mwĩthare, mũthiĩ mũkehithe thĩinĩ wa ngurunga iria ndiku, inyuĩ arĩa mũtũũraga kũu Dedani, tondũ nĩngarehithĩria Esaũ mwanangĩko rĩrĩa ngaamũherithia.
9 If grapegatherers had come to thee, would they not have left a bunch? if thieves in the night, they would have taken what was enough for them.
Agethi a thabibũ mangĩũka kũrĩ we-rĩ, githĩ to matigie tũthabibũ tũnini? Aici mangĩũka ũtukũ-rĩ, githĩ matingĩiya o indo iria imabatarĩtie?
10 But I have made Esau bare, I have revealed his secrets, and he cannot be hid: his seed is laid waste, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he shall not be.
No rĩrĩ, niĩ nĩngaguũria Esaũ nguo atigwo njaga, nĩngaguũria ciĩhitho ciake, nĩguo ndakanacooke kuona gwa kwĩhitha. Ciana ciake, na andũ a nyũmba yao, na andũ a itũũra rĩake nĩmakaniinwo, na o nake ndagatigara.
11 Leave thy fatherless children: I will make them live: and thy widows shall hope in me.
Ndigĩrai ciana cianyu cia ngoriai; nĩngagitĩra mĩoyo yacio. Atumia anyu a ndigwa mũreke o nao manjĩhoke.”
12 For thus saith the Lord: Behold they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup, shall certainly drink: and shalt thou come off as innocent? thou shalt not come off as innocent, but drinking thou shalt drink.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Kũngĩkorwo arĩa mataagĩrĩirwo kũnyuĩra gĩkombe kĩu no nginya makĩnyuĩre-rĩ, wee ũngĩkĩaga kũherithio nĩkĩ? Ndũrĩ hĩndĩ ũtakaherithio, no rĩrĩ, no nginya ũgaakĩnyuĩra.”
13 For I have sworn by myself, saith the Lord, that Bosra shall become a desolation, and a reproach, and a desert, and a curse: and all her cities shall be everlasting wastes.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Ngwĩhĩta ngĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, njuge atĩ Bozara gũgaatuĩka kũndũ kwanangĩku na kũrĩ magigi, gwa kũmenwo na gwa kũnyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi; namo matũũra makuo mothe magatũũra marĩ manangĩku nginya tene.”
14 I have heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent to the nations: Gather yourselves together, and come against her, and let us rise up to battle.
Nĩnjiguĩte ndũmĩrĩri kuuma kũrĩ Jehova: Atĩ nĩatũmire mũrekio athiĩ kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ, agaciĩre atĩrĩ, “Ũnganai mũrĩtharĩkĩre! Arahũkai mũkarũe mbaara!”
15 For behold I have made thee a little one among the nations, despicable among men.
“Rĩu nĩngũkũnyiihia mũno gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ, ndũme ũmenwo nĩ andũ.
16 Thy arrogancy hath deceived thee, and the pride of thy heart: O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, and endeavourest to lay hold on the height of the hill: but though thou shouldst make thy nest as high as an eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the Lord.
Guoya ũrĩa ũtũmaga andũ magwĩtigĩre na mwĩtĩĩo wa ngoro yaku-rĩ, nĩikũheenetie, o wee ũtũũraga thĩinĩ wa ngurunga cia ndwaro cia mahiga, o na ũgaikaraga tũcũmbĩrĩ igũrũ twa karĩma. O na ũngĩgaaka itara igũrũ mũno ta cia nderi, ngaakũruta kuo, ngũharũrũkie,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
17 And Edom shall be desolate: every one that shall pass by it, shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all its plagues.
“Edomu gũgaatuĩka kũndũ gwa kũmakania; arĩa othe makaahĩtũkĩra kuo nĩmakamaka na makũnyũrũrie, nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa gũgaakorwo kwanangĩtwo.
18 As Sodom was overthrown and Gomorrha, and the neighbours thereof, saith the Lord: there shall not a man dwell there, and there shall no son of man inhabit it.
O ta ũrĩa Sodomu na Gomora kwangʼaũranirio, hamwe na matũũra marĩa maariganĩtie namo, atĩ gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩtũũra kuo; gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgaacooka gũtũũra kuo,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
19 Behold one shall come up as a lion from the swelling of the Jordan, against the strong and beautiful: for I will make him run suddenly upon her: and who shall be the chosen one whom I may appoint over her? for who is like to me? and who shall abide me? and who is that shepherd that can withstand my countenance?
“O ta mũrũũthi ũũkĩte kuuma ihinga-inĩ cia Jorodani, ũgakinya ũrĩithio-inĩ ũrĩa mũnoru-rĩ, noguo ngaingata Edomu oime bũrũri-inĩ wake o rĩmwe. Nũũ ũthuurĩtwo wa kũruta wĩra ũcio nĩgeetha ndĩmũtue wa kũũrũgamĩrĩra? Nũũ ũngĩ ũhaana ta niĩ, na nũũ ũngĩhota kũngararia? Ningĩ nĩ mũrĩithi ũrĩkũ ũngĩkĩhota kũregana na niĩ?”
20 Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, which he hath taken concerning Edom: and his thoughts which he hath thought concerning the inhabitants of Theman: surely the little ones of the flock shall cast them down, of a truth they shall destroy them with their habitation.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ta thikĩrĩriai, mũigue ũrĩa Jehova athugundĩte gwĩka Edomu, o na ũrĩa atuĩte gwĩka arĩa matũũraga Temani: Arĩa anini thĩinĩ wa rũũru rũu rwa mbũri magaakururio matwarwo kũndũ kũraya; nĩakaniina ũrĩithio wao ũthire biũ nĩ ũndũ wao.
21 The earth is moved at the noise of their fall: the cry of their voice is heard in the Red Sea.
Thĩ nĩĩkainainio nĩ mũrurumo wao makĩgũa thĩ; kayũ ga kĩrĩro kĩao gakaiguuo o nginya Iria Itune.
22 Behold he shall come up as an eagle, and fly: and he shall spread his wings over Bosra: and in that day the heart of the valiant ones of Edom shall be as the heart of a woman in labour.
Atĩrĩrĩ! Nderi nĩĩkombũka na ĩcuuhũke, ĩtambũrũkĩtie mathagu mayo igũrũ rĩa Bozara. Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, ngoro cia njamba iria irĩ hinya cia Edomu igaatuĩka ta ngoro ya mũndũ-wa-nja akĩrũmwo.
23 Against Damascus. Emath is confounded and Arphad: for they have heard very bad tidings, they are troubled as in the sea: through care they could not rest.
Ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ Dameski: “Hamathu na Aripadi nĩamaku, nĩ ũndũ nĩmaiguĩte ndeto njũru. Nĩmorĩtwo nĩ hinya, makaagaaga ta maaĩ ma iria.
24 Damascus is undone, she is put to flight, trembling hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her as a woman in labour.
Dameski nĩrĩũrĩtwo nĩ hinya, nao andũ a rĩo makahũndũka meethare, rĩiyũrĩtwo nĩ kũinaina; andũ a rĩo manyiitĩtwo nĩ ruo rwa ngoro na kĩeha, ruo ta rwa mũndũ-wa-nja akĩrũmwo.
25 How have they forsaken the city of renown, the city of joy!
Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte itũũra rĩrĩa rĩrĩ ngumo rĩage gũtiganĩrio, o itũũra rĩu rĩngenagia?
26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets: and all the men of war shall be silent in that day, saith the Lord of hosts.
Ti-itherũ, aanake a rĩo nĩmakarũndwo barabara-inĩ ciarĩo; thigari ciakuo ciothe igaakirio ki mũthenya ũcio,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.
27 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, rind it shall devour the strong holds of Benadad.
“Nĩngacina thingo cia Dameski; naguo mwaki ũcio nĩũgaacina ciĩgitĩro cia Beni-Hadadi.”
28 Against Cedar and against the kingdoms of Asor, which Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon destroyed. Thus saith the Lord: Arise, and go ye up to Cedar, and waste the children of the east.
Ũhoro ũkoniĩ Kedari, o na mothamaki ma Hazoru, marĩa Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni aatharĩkĩire: Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Arahũkai mũtharĩkĩre Kedari, na mũniine andũ acio a mwena wa Irathĩro.
29 They shall take their tents, and their flocks: and shall carry off for themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels: and they shall call fear upon them round about.
Hema ciao na ndũũru ciao cia mbũri nĩigatahwo; ciandarũa ciao nĩigakuuo, hamwe na indo ciao ciothe, na ngamĩĩra ciao ciothe. Andũ nĩmakanĩrĩra, mameere atĩrĩ, ‘Kĩmako kĩnene kiumanĩte na mĩena yothe!’
30 Flee ye, get away speedily, sit in deep holes, you that inhabit Asur, saith the Lord: for Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived designs against you.
“Mwĩtharei narua! Ikarai thĩinĩ wa ngurunga iria ndiku, inyuĩ mũtũũraga kũu Hazoru. Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni nĩaciirĩire kũmũũkĩrĩra; nĩathugundĩte ũrĩa ekũmũũkĩrĩra,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
31 Arise, and so up to a nation that is at ease, and that dwelleth securely, saith the Lord: they have neither gates, nor bars: they dwell alone.
“Arahũkai mũtharĩkĩre rũrĩrĩ rũu rũtũũrĩte rũgaacĩire na rũhooreire, o rũu rũtũũrĩte rũrĩ na thayũ, rũrĩrĩ rũteehingagĩra na ihingo kana rũkeirigĩra na igera; andũ aruo matũũraga marĩ oiki,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
32 And their camels shall be for a spoil, and the multitude of their cattle for a booty, and I will scatter into every wind them that have their hair cut round, and I will bring destruction upon them from I all their confines, saith the Lord.
“Ngamĩĩra ciao igaatuĩka cia gũtahwo, nacio ndũũru icio ciao nyingĩ cia ngʼombe ituĩke cia ndaho. Arĩa marĩ kũndũ kũraya nĩngamahurunjĩra mĩena yothe ĩrĩa yumaga rũhuho. na nĩngamarehithĩria mwanangĩko kuuma mĩena yothe,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
33 And Asor shall be a habitation for dragons, desolate for ever: no man shall abide there, nor son of man inhabit it.
“Hazoru gũgaatuĩka ũtũũro wa mbwe, gũtũũre gũkirĩte ihooru nginya tene. Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgaatũũra kuo; gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgaikara kuo.”
34 The word of the Lord that came to Jeremias the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Sedecias king of Juda, saying:
Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩrĩa yakinyĩrĩire Jeremia ũcio mũnabii ĩkoniĩ Elamu, o kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ kĩa wathani wa Zedekia mũthamaki wa Juda:
35 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold I will break the bow of Elam, and their chief strength.
Ũũ nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga: “Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩngoinanga ũta wa Elamu, ũrĩa arĩ guo kĩhumo kĩa hinya wao.
36 And I will bring upon Elam the four winds from the fear quarters of heaven: and I will scatter them into all these winds: and there shall be no nation, to which the fugitives of Elam shall not come.
Nĩngarehithĩria andũ a Elamu huho iria inya ciumaga mĩena ĩrĩa ĩna ya igũrũ; ngaamahurunjĩra na kũu huho icio inya ciumaga, na gũtirĩ rũrĩrĩ o na rũmwe andũ acio aingate a Elamu matakoorĩra.
37 And I will cause Elam to be afraid before their enemies, and in the sight of them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, my fierce wrath, saith the Lord: and will send the sword after them, till I consume them.
Nĩngahehenja Elamu maitho-inĩ ma thũ ciao, marĩ o mbere ya andũ arĩa macaragia kũmaruta muoyo; nĩngamarehithĩria mwanangĩko, o na marakara makwa mahiũ,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. “Ngaamatengʼeria na rũhiũ rwa njora nginya ndĩmaniine biũ.
38 And I will set my throne in Elam, and destroy kings and princes from thence, saith the Lord.
Nĩngaiga gĩtĩ gĩakwa kĩa ũnene kũu Elamu, na niine mũthamaki wakuo o na anene akuo,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
39 But in the latter days I will cause the captives of Elam, to return, saith the Lord.
“No rĩrĩ, nĩngacookia ũgaacĩru wa Elamu matukũ-inĩ marĩa magooka,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
