< Jeremiah 19 >

1 Thus sayth the Lord, Goe, and buy an earthen bottel of a potter, and take of the ancients of the people, and of the ancients of the Priests,
Ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga: “Thiĩ ũgũre gatigithũ ka rĩũmba harĩ mũũmbi. Ũcooke woe athuuri amwe a kĩrĩndĩ na athĩnjĩri-Ngai amwe,
2 And goe forth vnto the valley of Ben-hinnom, which is by the entrie of the East gate: and thou shalt preache there the wordes, that I shall tell thee,
mumagare mũthiĩ Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Beni-Hinomu, hakuhĩ na itoonyero rĩa Kĩhingo-kĩa-Ngĩo. Wakinya hau wanĩrĩre ũhoro ũrĩa ngũkwĩra,
3 And shalt say, Heare yee the worde of the Lord, O Kings of Iudah, and inhabitantes of Ierusalem, Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring a plague vpon this place, the which whosoeuer heareth, his eares shall tingle.
uuge atĩrĩ, ‘Ta iguai ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova, inyuĩ athamaki a Juda, na andũ a Jerusalemu. Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli ekuuga atĩrĩ: Ta thikĩrĩriai! Nĩngũrehithia mwanangĩko kũndũ gũkũ ũrĩa ũgaatũma mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũkaũigua ararakwo nĩ matũ.
4 Because they haue forsaken me, and prophaned this place, and haue burnt incense in it vnto other gods, whome neyther they, nor their fathers haue knowen, nor the Kings of Iudah (they haue filled this place also with the blood of innocents,
Nĩgũkorwo nĩmandirikĩte na magatũma haha hatuĩke handũ ha ngai cia kũndũ kũngĩ; nĩmacinĩire magongona kũrĩ ngai iria o ene, kana maithe mao, o na kana athamaki a Juda matooĩ, na makaiyũria kũndũ gũkũ thakame ya andũ arĩa matarĩ ũũru mekĩte.
5 And they haue built the hie places of Baal, to burne their sonnes with fire for burnt offrings vnto Baal, which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my minde)
Nĩmakĩĩte kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gwa kũhooerwo Baali, na gwa gũcinagĩrwo ariũ ao na mwaki matuĩke maruta ma kũrutĩrwo Baali, ũndũ ũrĩa niĩ itaathanire wĩkagwo, kana ngĩũgweta, o na ũndũ ũtarĩ wagĩa meciiria-inĩ makwa.
6 Therefore behold, the dayes come, sayth the Lord, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor ye valley of Ben-hinnom, but the valley of slaughter.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, Mwĩmenyererei, tondũ matukũ nĩmarooka rĩrĩa andũ matagacooka gwĩtaga kũndũ gũkũ Tofethi, kana Gĩtuamba kĩa Beni-Hinomu, no gũgeetagwo Gĩtuamba gĩa Kũũraganĩrwo.
7 And I will bring the counsell of Iudah and Ierusalem to nought in this place, and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of them that seeke their liues: and their carkeises will I giue to be meate for ye foules of the heauen, and to the beastes of the fielde.
“‘Kũndũ gũkũ nĩkuo ngathũkĩria mĩbango yothe ya Juda na ya Jerusalemu. Nĩngatũma mooragwo na hiũ cia njora nĩ thũ ciao, moko-inĩ ma andũ arĩa mendaga kũmaruta muoyo, nacio ciimba ciao ndĩciheane ituĩke nyama cia kũrĩĩo nĩ nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ na nyamũ cia gĩthaka.
8 And I will make this citie desolate and an hissing, so that euery one that passeth thereby, shalbe astonished and hisse because of all ye plagues thereof.
Nĩngananga itũũra rĩĩrĩ ndũme rĩtuĩke kũndũ gwa kũnyararwo; arĩa othe makaahĩtũkĩra kuo nĩmakagega na mamanyũrũrie moona ũrĩa nguraro ciao cingĩhĩte.
9 And I will feede the with the flesh of their sonnes and with the flesh of their daughters, and euery one shall eate the flesh of his friende in the siege and straitnesse, wherewith their enemies that seeke their liues, shall hold them strait.
Nĩngatũma marĩe nyama cia mĩĩrĩ ya ariũ na aarĩ ao, na o mũndũ arĩe nyama cia mwĩrĩ wa mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa magaakorwo marĩ na mĩnyamaro nĩ ũndũ wa gũthiũrũrũkĩrio nĩ thũ ciao iria ciendaga kũmaruta muoyo.’
10 Then shalt thou breake the bottell in the sight of the men that go with thee,
“Ũcooke ũũrage gatigithũ kau, acio mũgaathiĩ nao makĩonaga,
11 And shalt say vnto them, Thus saith ye Lord of hostes, Euen so will I breake this people and this citie, as one breaketh a potters vessell, that cannot be made whole againe, and they shall bury them in Topheth till there be no place to bury.
ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ: Nĩngahehenja rũrĩrĩ rũrũ, o na itũũra rĩĩrĩ, o ta ũrĩa mũndũ oragaga nyũngũ ya mũũmbi na ndĩcookaga gũthondekeka ĩtuĩke ngʼima rĩngĩ. Magaathika arĩa makuĩte kũu Tofethi nginya kwage handũ ha gũthikanwo.
12 Thus will I doe vnto this place, sayth the Lord, and to the inhabitantes thereof, and I will make this citie like Topheth.
Ũguo nĩguo ngeeka kũndũ gũkũ, o na andũ arĩa matũũraga kuo, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. Nĩngatũma itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene rĩhaane o ta Tofethi.
13 For the houses of Ierusalem, and the houses of the Kings of Iudah shalbe defiled as the place of Topheth, because of al the houses vpon whose roofes they haue burnt incense vnto all the host of heauen, and haue powred out drinke offerings vnto other gods.
Nyũmba iria irĩ Jerusalemu, o na cia athamaki a Juda nĩigathaahio o ta gũkũ Tofethi: nyũmba ciothe iria maacinĩire ũbumba igũrũ rĩacio, makĩũcinĩra mbũtũ ciothe cia njata, na magĩitagĩra ngai ingĩ maruta ma indo cia kũnyuuo.’”
14 Then came Ieremiah from Topheth, where the Lord had sent him to prophecie, and he stood in the court of the Lordes house, and sayde to all the people,
Jeremia agĩcooka akĩhũndũka kuuma Tofethi, o kũu Jehova aamũtũmĩte akarathĩre andũ ũhoro, nake akĩrũgama nja ya hekarũ ya Jehova, akĩĩra andũ othe atĩrĩ,
15 Thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Beholde, I will bring vpon this citie, and vpon all her townes, all the plagues that I haue pronounced against it, because they haue hardened their neckes, and would not heare my wordes.
“Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o Wee Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ta thikĩrĩriai! Nĩngũrehithĩria itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene, o na tũtũũra tũrĩa tũrĩrigiicĩirie tuothe mwanangĩko ũrĩa wothe ngwetete igũrũ rĩao, nĩ ũndũ nĩmoomirie ngingo, makĩaga gũthikĩrĩria ciugo ciakwa.’”
