Jeremiah 51
1 Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will raise up as it were a pestilential wind against Babylon and against the inhabitants thereof, who have lifted up their heart against me.
Jehova ekuuga ũũ: “Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩngarahũra roho wa mũniinani, ũũkĩrĩre Babuloni, o na andũ a Lebi-Kamai.
2 And I will send to Babylon fanners, and they shall fan her, and shall destroy her land: for they are come upon her on every side in the day of her affliction.
Nĩngatũma andũ a kũngĩ mathiĩ Babuloni magakũhurunje ta ũrĩa mũũngũ ũmbũragwo ihuhĩro-inĩ, na manange bũrũri ũcio ũtigwo ũtarĩ kĩndũ; makaũũkĩrĩra kuuma mĩena yothe, mũthenya ũcio waguo wa mwanangĩko.
3 Let not him that bendeth, bend his bow, and let not, him go up that is armed with a coat of mail: spare not her young men, destroy all her army.
Mũtikanareke mũikia wa mĩguĩ ageete ũta wake, kana ehumbe nguo ciake cia ita. Mũtigacaĩre aanake akuo; anangai mbũtũ ciake cia ita, mũciniine.
4 And the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and the wounded in the regions thereof.
Makaagũa thĩ moragĩtwo kũu Babuloni, magurarĩtio nguraro cia gĩkuũ kũu barabara-inĩ ciakuo.
5 For Israel and Juda have not been forsaken by their God the Lord of hosts: but their land hath been filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.
Nĩgũkorwo Isiraeli na Juda matitirikĩtwo nĩ Ngai wao, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o na gũtuĩka bũrũri wao ũiyũrĩtwo nĩ mahĩtia maitho-inĩ ma ũcio Mũtheru wa Isiraeli.
6 Flee ye from the midst of Babylon, and let every one save his own life: be not silent upon her iniquity: for it is the time of revenge from the Lord, he will I render unto her what she hath deserved.
“Mwĩtharei muume kũu Babuloni! Ũrai mũhonokie mĩoyo yanyu! Mwĩtharei mũtikaniinanĩrio nakuo nĩ ũndũ wa mehia makuo. Nĩ ihinda rĩa Jehova rĩa kwĩrĩhĩria; agaakũrĩha o kĩrĩa gĩkwagĩrĩire.
7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in the hand of the Lord, that made all the earth drunk: the nations have drunk of her wine, and therefore they have staggered.
Babuloni kwahaanaga ta gĩkombe gĩa thahabu kĩrĩ guoko-inĩ kwa Jehova; nakuo gũgĩtũma thĩ yothe ĩhaane ta ĩrĩĩtwo nĩ njoohi. Ndũrĩrĩ nĩcianyuire ndibei yakuo; nĩ ũndũ ũcio rĩu ihaana ta igũrũkĩte.
8 Babylon is suddenly fallen, and destroyed: howl for her, take balm for her pain, if so she may be healed.
Babuloni nĩgũkũgũa o rĩmwe na kũhehenjwo. Kũrĩrĩrei! Rehei ndawa ya kũniina ruo rwakuo; hihi kwahota kũhona.
9 We would have cured Babylon, but she is not healed: let us forsake her, and let us go every man to his own land: because her judgment hath reached even to the heavens, and is lifted up to the clouds.
“‘Nĩtũngĩahonirie Babuloni, no rĩrĩ, gũtingĩhonio. Nĩtũgũtigei, na o mũndũ acooke bũrũri wake kĩũmbe, nĩgũkorwo ituĩro rĩakuo rĩkinyĩte o matu-inĩ, rĩambatĩte o nginya matu-inĩ marĩa mairũ.’
10 The Lord hath brought forth our justices: Come, and let us declare in Sion the work of the Lord our God.
“‘Jehova nĩonanĩtie ũthingu witũ; ũkai tũthiĩ tũkoimbũrĩre Zayuni maũndũ marĩa Jehova Ngai witũ ekĩte.’
11 Sharpen the arrows, fill the quivers, the Lord hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: and his mind is against Babylon to destroy it, because it is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance of his temple.
“Noorai mĩguĩ, oyai ngo! Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩarahũrĩte athamaki a Amedi, nĩ ũndũ nĩaciirĩire kũniina Babuloni. Jehova nĩekwĩrĩhĩria harĩo, erĩhĩrie maũndũ marĩa meekirwo hekarũ yake.
12 Upon the walls of Babylon set up the standard, strengthen the watch: set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the Lord hath both purposed, and done all that he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon.
Haandai bendera kũrigania na thingo cia Babuloni! Ongererai agitĩri, igai arangĩri, mũhaarĩrie andũ a kũhithũkĩra njĩra-inĩ! Jehova nĩekũhingia ũrĩa aciirĩire gwĩka, ahingie uuge wake wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, wa gũũkĩrĩra andũ a Babuloni.
13 O thou that dwellest upon many waters, rich in treasures, thy end is come for thy entire destruction.
Wee ũtũũraga gũkuhĩ na njũũĩ nyingĩ, na ũkeigĩra indo nyingĩ igĩĩna-inĩ ciaku-rĩ, ithirĩro rĩaku nĩ ikinyu, nĩ ihinda rĩaku rĩa kweherio.
14 The Lord of hosts hath sworn by himself, saying: I will fill thee with men as with locusts, and they shall lift up a joyful shout against thee.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩehĩtĩte akĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩake, akoiga atĩrĩ: Ti-itherũ nĩngatũma ũũkĩrĩrwo nĩ andũ aingĩ o ta mĩrumbĩ ya ngigĩ, nao makuugĩrĩrie nĩ ũndũ wa gũkũhoota.
15 He that made the earth by his power, that hath prepared the world by his wisdom, and stretched out the heavens by his understanding.
“Nĩwe wombire thĩ na ũndũ wa hinya wake; ningĩ akĩhaanda thĩ na ũũgĩ wake, na agĩtambũrũkia matu mairũ na ũndũ wa ũmenyo wake.
16 When he uttereth his voice the waters are multiplied in heaven: he lifteth up the clouds from the ends of the earth, he hath turned lightning into rain: and hath brought forth the wind out of his treasures.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa agũũthũka-rĩ, maaĩ marĩa marĩ igũrũ matu-inĩ nĩmarurumaga; nĩwe ũtũmaga thaatũ wambate na igũrũ kuuma ituri ciothe cia thĩ. Atũmaga rũheni rũũke rũrehanĩte na mbura, na akahingũrĩra rũhuho ruume makũmbĩ-inĩ make.
17 Every man is become foolish by his knowledge: every founder is confounded by his idol, for what he hath cast is a lie, and there is no breath in them.
“Andũ othe nĩmagĩte meciiria na makaaga ũmenyo, nake mũturi wa thahabu o wothe nĩaconorithĩtio nĩ mĩhianano ĩyo yake. Nĩ ũndũ mĩhianano ĩyo yake nĩ ya maheeni; ndĩrĩ mĩhũmũ thĩinĩ wayo.
18 They are vain works, and worthy to be laughed at, in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Ndĩrĩ kĩene, nĩ indo cia kũnyararwo; narĩo ihinda rĩayo rĩa gũciirithio rĩakinya-rĩ, nĩĩgathira biũ.
19 The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he that made all things he it is, and Israel is the sceptre of his inheritance: the Lord of hosts is his name.
We ũcio Rũgai rwa Jakubu ndatariĩ tayo, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe Mũũmbi wa indo ciothe, o hamwe na mũhĩrĩga ũrĩa eegwatĩire ũtuĩke igai rĩake; Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩrĩo rĩĩtwa rĩake.
20 Thou dashest together for me the weapons of war, and with thee I will dash nations together, and with thee I will destroy kingdoms:
“Nĩwe njũgũma yakwa ya ita, na nowe kĩndũ gĩakwa kĩa mbaara: nĩwe hũthagĩra kũhehenja ndũrĩrĩ, na ngatũmĩra hinya waku kũniina mothamaki.
21 And with thee I will break in pieces the horse, and his rider, and with thee I will break in pieces the chariot, and him that getteth up into it:
Nĩwe hũthagĩra kũhehenja mbarathi na mũmĩhaici, ngakũhũthĩra kũhehenja ngaari ya ita na mũmĩtwari,
22 And with thee I will break in pieces man and woman, and with thee I will break in pieces the old man and the child, and with thee I will break in pieces the young man and the virgin:
ngakũhũthĩra kũhehenja mũndũ mũrũme na mũndũ-wa-nja, ngakũhũthĩra kũhehenja mũndũ mũkũrũ na ũrĩa mwĩthĩ, o na ngakũhũthĩra kũhehenja mwanake na mũirĩtu,
23 And with thee I will break in pieces the shepherd and his dock, and with thee I will break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen, and with thee I will break in pieces captains and rulers.
Ngakũhũthĩra kũhehenja mũrĩithi na rũũru rwake rwa mbũri, ngakũhũthĩra kũhehenja mũrĩmi na ndegwa ciake cia kũrĩma, o na ngakũhũthĩra kũhehenja abarũthi na anene.
24 And I will render to Babylon, and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil, that they have done in Sion, before your eyes, saith the Lord.
“Na rĩrĩ, Babuloni na arĩa othe matũũraga Kalidei, ngaamacookereria ũũru wao mũkĩĩonagĩra, ũũru wothe ũrĩa maaneka kũu Zayuni,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
25 Behold I come against thee, thou destroying mountain, saith the Lord, which corruptest the whole earth: and I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and will roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt mountain.
“Nĩngũgũũkĩrĩra wee kĩrĩma gĩkĩ gĩa kũniinana, wee ũniinaga thĩ yothe.” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. “Nĩngũgũtambũrũkĩria guoko ngũũkĩrĩre, ngũgaragarie ngũrute ndwaro-inĩ cia mahiga, na ndũme ũtuĩke ta kĩrĩma gĩcinĩtwo nĩ mwaki.
26 And they shall not take of thee a stone for the corner, nor a stone for foundations, but thou shalt be destroyed for ever, saith the Lord.
Gũtirĩ ihiga rĩkarutwo harĩwe rĩtuĩke rĩa koine, o na kana ihiga o rĩothe rĩa mũthingi, nĩ ũndũ ũgũtũũra ũkirĩte ihooru nginya tene,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
27 Set ye up a standard in the land: sound with the trumpet among the nations: prepare the nations against her: call together against her the kings of Ararat, Menni, and Ascenez: number Taphsar against her, bring the horse as the stinging locust.
“Haandai bendera bũrũri-inĩ, huhai karumbeta ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ! Thagathagai ndũrĩrĩ ikahũũrane nake; ĩtai mothamaki maya meturanĩre, mamũũkĩrĩre: mothamaki ma Ararati, na Mini, na Ashikenazu. Mũigĩrei mũnene wa ita wa kũmũũkĩrĩra; ambatiai mbarathi cia ita nyingĩ ta mĩrumbĩ ya ngigĩ.
28 Prepare the nations against her, the kings of Media, their captains, and all their rulers, and all the land of their dominion.
Thagathagai ndũrĩrĩ ikahũũrane nake; thagathagai athamaki a Amedi, na abarũthi, na anene ao othe, na andũ a mabũrũri mothe marĩa maathagwo nĩo.
29 And the land shall be in a commotion, and shall be troubled: for the design of the Lord against Babylon shall awake, to make the land of Babylon desert and uninhabitable.
Bũrũri nĩũrathingitha na ũkenyogonda nĩ ruo, nĩgũkorwo ũndũ ũrĩa Jehova aciirĩire gwĩka Babuloni nĩ mũrũmu: wa kũharagania bũrũri wa Babuloni nĩguo kwage mũndũ ũngĩtũũra kuo.
30 The valiant men of Babylon have forborne to fight, they have dwelt in holds: their strength hath failed, and they are become as women: her dwelling places are burnt, her bars are broken.
Njamba iria irĩ hinya cia Babuloni nĩitigĩte kũrũa; ciikarĩte ciĩgitio-inĩ ciacio iria nũmu. Hinya wacio nĩ mũthiru; ihaanĩte o ta andũ-a-nja. Ciikaro ciakuo nĩicinĩtwo na mwaki; mĩgĩĩka ya ihingo ciakuo nĩ miunange.
31 One running post shall meet another, and messenger shall meet messenger: to tell the king of Babylon that his city is taken from one end to the other:
Mũtwari ndũmĩrĩri ũmwe ararũmĩrĩrwo nĩ ũngĩ, nake mũrekio akarũmĩrĩrwo nĩ mũrekio ũrĩa ũngĩ, makamenyithie mũthamaki wa Babuloni atĩ itũũra rĩu rĩake inene rĩothe nĩrĩtunyane,
32 And that the fords are taken, and the marshes are burnt with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.
ningĩ mariũko ma njũũĩ nĩmanyiite, na kũrĩa kũrĩ marura gũgaacinwo na mwaki, nacio thigari ikanyiitwo nĩ guoya.”
33 For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a thrashingfloor, this is the time of her thrashing: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Mwarĩ wa Babuloni atariĩ ta kĩhuhĩro kĩa ngano hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yaraganĩtio ĩkĩrangĩrĩrio; kahinda gake ga kũgethwo nĩgegũkinya o narua.”
34 Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon hath eaten me up, he hath devoured me: he hath made me as an empty vessel: he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicate meats, and he hath cast me out.
“Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni nĩatũmeretie, nĩatũreheire kĩrigiicano, agatũma tũtuĩke ta nyũngũ ya rĩũmba ĩtarĩ kĩndũ. Nĩatũmerũkĩtie o ta ndamathia, nayo nda yake akamĩiyũria na indo ciitũ iria irĩ mũrĩo, na nĩacookete agatũtahĩka.
35 The wrong done to me, and my flesh be upon Babylon, saith the habitation of Sion: and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, saith Jerusalem.
Maũndũ ma ũhinya marĩa maanekwo nyama ciitũ-rĩ, marocookerera Babuloni,” ũguo nĩguo atũũri a Zayuni mekuuga. “Thakame iitũ ĩrocookerera acio maikaraga kũu Babuloni,” ũguo nĩguo Jerusalemu ĩkuuga.
36 Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold I will judge thy cause, and will take vengeance for thee, and I will make her sea desolate, and will dry up her spring.
Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo-rĩ, Jehova ekuuga ũũ: “Atĩrĩrĩ, niĩ nĩngũkũrũĩrĩra na ngũrĩhĩrie; nĩngahũithia iria rĩake, na ndũme ithima ciake ihũe.
37 And Babylon shall be reduced to heaps, a dwelling place for dragons, an astonishment and a hissing, because there is no inhabitant.
Babuloni gũgaatuĩka hĩba ya kũndũ kwanangĩku, na imamo cia mbwe, na kũndũ gwa kũmakania, na gwa gũthekererwo, kũndũ gũtarĩ mũndũ ũngĩtũũra kuo.
38 They shall roar together like lions, they shall shake their manes like young lions.
Andũ othe akuo makaararamaga ta mĩrũũthi mĩĩthĩ, makaarurumaga ta njaũ cia mĩrũũthi.
39 In their heat I will set them drink: and I will make them drunk, that they may slumber, and sleep an everlasting sleep, and awake no more, saith the Lord.
No rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa magaakorwo macinĩtwo nĩ thuti-rĩ, nĩrĩo ngaamarugithĩria iruga, na ndũme marĩĩo nĩ njoohi, nĩguo magaatheka maanĩrĩire, macooke makome toro nginya tene, na maticooke gũũkĩra,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, and like rams with kids.
“Ngaamaikũrũkia ta tũgondu tũgĩthiĩ gũthĩnjwo, o na ta ndũrũme irĩ hamwe na thenge.
41 How is Sesach taken, and the renowned one of all the earth surprised? How is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations?
“Hĩ, kaĩ Sheshaki nĩrĩkeegwatĩrwo-ĩ, itũũra rĩu rĩĩrahagwo nĩ thĩ yothe kaĩ nĩinyiite-ĩ! Babuloni gũgaatuĩka kũndũ gwa kũmakania thĩinĩ wa ndũrĩrĩ ciothe!
42 The sea is come up over Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
Iria rĩrĩa inene nĩrĩkaiyũra Babuloni guothe; mũrurumo wa ndiihũ ciarĩo nĩguo ũgaakũhubanĩria.
43 Her cities are become an astonishment, a land uninhabited and desolate, a land wherein none can dwell, nor son of man pass through it.
Matũũra makuo nĩmakirĩte ihooru, matuĩke bũrũri mũũmũ na werũ ũtarĩ kĩndũ, bũrũri ũtarĩ mũndũ ũngĩũtũũra, kũndũ gũtarĩ mũndũ ũgeragĩra kuo.
44 And I will visit against Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he had swallowed down: and the rations shall no more flow together to him, for the wall also of Babylon shall fall.
Nĩngaherithĩria Beli kũu Babuloni na ndũme ĩtahĩke kĩndũ kĩrĩa gĩothe ĩmeretie. Ndũrĩrĩ itigacooka kũhatĩkana igĩthiĩ kũrĩ yo. Naruo rũthingo rwa Babuloni nĩrũkaagũa.
45 Go out of the midst of her, my people: that every man may save his life from the fierce wrath of the Lord.
“Umai kũu thĩinĩ warĩo, inyuĩ andũ akwa! Mwĩtharei, mũhonokie mĩoyo yanyu! Mwĩtharei, mweherere marakara marĩa mahiũ ma Jehova.
46 And lest your hearts faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land: and a rumour shall come in one year, and after this year another rumour: and iniquity in the land, and ruler upon ruler.
Mũtikanareke ngoro cianyu ciũrwo nĩ hinya, kana mwĩtigĩre hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndeto cia mũhuhu ikaiguuo bũrũri-inĩ; ũhoro ũmwe wa mũhuhu nĩũkaiguuo mwaka ũyũ, na ũngĩ ũiguuo mwaka ũcio ũngĩ ũrũmĩrĩire, mũhuhu ũkoniĩ ndeto cia haaro bũrũri-inĩ, na wa mwathani ũmwe agĩũkĩrĩra mwathani ũrĩa ũngĩ.
47 Therefore behold the days come, and I will visit the idols of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
Nĩgũkorwo ti-itherũ ihinda nĩrĩgooka rĩrĩa ngaaherithia ngai cia mĩhianano ya Babuloni; bũrũri ũcio wothe nĩũgaconorithio, nao andũ akuo arĩa othe moragĩtwo nĩmakaaragana kuo.
48 And the heavens and the earth, and all things that are in them shall give praise for Babylon: for spoilers shall come to her from the north, saith the Lord.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo igũrũ na thĩ na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ kuo nĩikanĩrĩra nĩ gũkena igĩkenerera Babuloni, nĩgũkorwo aniinani nĩmakarĩtharĩkĩra, moimĩte mwena wa gathigathini,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
49 And as Babylon caused that there should fall slain in Israel: so of Babylon there shall fall slain in all the earth.
“Babuloni no nginya gũkaagũa nĩ ũndũ wa andũ a Isiraeli arĩa maanooraga, ũguo noguo andũ a mabũrũri mothe makaagũa thĩ, moragĩtwo nĩ ũndũ wa Babuloni.
50 You that have escaped the sword, come away, stand not still: remember the Lord afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
Inyuĩ mũhonokete kũũragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora-rĩ, mwĩtharei na mũtikagonderere! Ririkanagai Jehova mũrĩ bũrũri wa kũraya, na mwĩciiragie ũhoro wa Jerusalemu.”
51 We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame hath covered our faces: because strangers are come upon the sanctuaries of the house of the Lord.
“Nĩtũconorithĩtio, nĩgũkorwo nĩtũrumĩtwo, na tũkahumbwo thoni mothiũ maitũ, tondũ andũ a kũngĩ nĩmatoonyete kũndũ kũrĩa kwamũre thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Jehova.”
52 Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will visit her graven things, and in all her land the wounded shall groan:
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Matukũ nĩmagooka rĩrĩa ngaaherithia mĩhianano yake, nao andũ arĩa agurarie kũu bũrũri-inĩ ũcio guothe nĩmagacaaya.
53 If Babylon should mount up to heaven, and establish her strength on high: from me there should come spoilers upon her, saith the Lord.
O na kũngĩtuĩka Babuloni gwĩtũũgĩrĩtie gũgakinya o matu-inĩ, na ciĩhitho ciakuo ikairigĩrwo na hinya mũno-rĩ, no ngaakũrehithĩria aniinani magũũkĩrĩre,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
54 The noise of a cry from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:
“Mũgambo wa kĩrĩro nĩũraiguuo kũu Babuloni; nĩ mũgambo wa kũniinanwo ũraiguuo kũu bũrũri wa andũ a Babuloni.
55 Because the Lord hath laid Babylon waste, and destroyed out of her the great voice: and their wave shall roar like many waters: their voice hath made a noise:
Jehova nĩakaniina Babuloni; nĩagakiria inegene rĩu inene rĩakuo. Makũmbĩ ma thũ makaahũũyũka taarĩ mũrurumo wa maaĩ maingĩ. Mũrurumo wa mĩgambo yao nĩĩkaiguuagwo.
56 Because the spoiler is come upon her, that is, upon Babylon, and her valiant men are taken, and their bow is weakened, because the Lord, who is a strong revenger, will surely repay.
Mũniinani nĩagookĩrĩra Babuloni; njamba ciakuo iria irĩ hinya nĩikaanyiitwo, namo mota mao moinangwo. Nĩ ũndũ Jehova nĩ Mũrungu ũrĩhanagĩria; we akaarĩhanĩria biũ.
57 And I will make her princes drunk. and her wise men, and her captains, and her rulers, and her valiant men: and they shall sleep an everlasting sleep, and shall awake no more, saith the whose name is Lord of hosts.
Anene akuo, na andũ arĩa ogĩ, o na abarũthi akuo, o ũndũ ũmwe na anene akuo, o na njamba ciakuo iria irĩ hinya, othe nĩngatũma marĩĩo nĩ njoohi; magaakoma nginya tene, na matiũkĩre,” nĩguo Mũthamaki ekuuga, o we ũrĩa rĩĩtwa rĩake arĩ Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe.
58 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: That broad wall of Babylon shall be utterly broken down, and her high gates shall be burnt with fire, and the labours of the people shall come to nothing, and of the nations shall go to the fire, and shall perish.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Rũthingo rwa Babuloni rũrĩa rwariĩ nĩrũkangʼaũranio biũ, nacio ihingo ciakuo iria ndaaya na igũrũ icinwo na mwaki; andũ menogagia tũhũ, naguo wĩra wa ndũrĩrĩ no ngũ cia gũcinwo na mwaki.”
59 The word that Jeremias the prophet commanded Saraias the son of Nerias, the son of Maasias, when he went with king Sedecias to Babylon, in the fourth year of his reign: now Saraias was chief over the prophecy.
Ĩno nĩo ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa Jeremia aaheire Seraia mũrũ wa Neria, mũrũ wa Maaseia, o ũcio warĩ mũnene ũrĩa mũrori wa maũndũ ma nyũmba ya mũthamaki, rĩrĩa aathiire Babuloni marĩ na Zedekia mũthamaki wa Juda mwaka-inĩ wa ĩna wa ũthamaki wake.
60 And Jeremias wrote in one book all the evil that was to come upon Babylon: all these words that are written against Babylon.
Jeremia nĩandĩkĩte ibuku-inĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo ũhoro wothe ũkoniĩ mwanangĩko ũrĩa ũgaakinyĩrĩra Babuloni: maũndũ marĩa mothe maandĩkĩtwo makoniĩ Babuloni.
61 And Jeremias said to Saraias: When thou shalt come into Babylon, and shalt see, and shalt read all these words,
Jeremia akĩĩra Seraia atĩrĩ, “Wakinya Babuloni-rĩ, ũgaatigĩrĩra atĩ nĩwathoma mohoro maya mothe wanĩrĩire.
62 Thou shalt say: O Lord, thou hast spoken against this place to destroy it: so that there should be neither man nor beast to dwell therein, and that it should be desolate for ever.
Ũcooke uuge atĩrĩ, ‘Wee Jehova, nĩugĩte nĩũkũniina kũndũ gũkũ, nĩgeetha gũtikanatũũrwo nĩ mũndũ, o na kana nyamũ; gũgũtũũra gũkirĩte ihooru nginya tene.’
63 And when thou shalt have made an end of reading this book, thou shalt tie a stone to it, and shalt throw it into the midst of the Euphrates:
Warĩkia gũthoma ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo-rĩ, ũrĩoherere ihiga, ũrĩikie Rũũĩ rwa Farati.
64 And thou shalt say: Thus shall Babylon sink, and she shall not rise up from the affliction that I will bring upon her, and she shall be utterly destroyed. Thus far are the words of Jeremias.
Ũcooke uuge atĩrĩ, ‘Ũguo noguo Babuloni gũkaarikĩra kũũrĩre biũ, na gũtigacooka kuumĩra na igũrũ, nĩ ũndũ wa mwanangĩko ũrĩa ngaakũrehithĩria. Nao andũ akuo nĩmakaagũa.’” Ũhoro wa Jeremia ũkinyĩte hau.
