< Jeremiah 20 >

1 When Pashur, the sonne of Immer, the Priest, which was appointed gouernour in the house of the Lord, heard that Ieremiah prophecied these things,
Rĩrĩa Pashuri ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, mũrũ wa Imeri, o ũcio warĩ mũnene wa arĩa angĩ kũu hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova, aiguire Jeremia akĩratha maũndũ macio-rĩ,
2 Then Pashur smote Ieremiah the Prophet, and put him in the stockes that were in the hie gate of Beniamin which was by the House of the Lord.
agĩathana Jeremia ũcio mũnabii ahũũrwo na oohererwo magũrũ ndungu-inĩ hau Kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa Rũgongo kĩa Benjamini, o kũu hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova.
3 And on the morning, Pashur brought Ieremiah out of the stockes. Then said Ieremiah vnto him, The Lord hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magor-missabib.
Mũthenya ũcio warũmĩrĩire, rĩrĩa Pashuri aamuohorithirie ndungu magũrũ, Jeremia akĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rĩĩtwa rĩrĩa Jehova agũtuĩte ti Pashuri, no ũrĩĩtagwo Magori-Misabibu.
4 For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will make thee to be a terrour to thy self, and to al thy friends, and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall beholde it, and I will giue all Iudah into the hande of the King of Babel, and he shall cary them captiue into Babel, and shall slay them with the sworde.
Nĩ ũndũ Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Nĩngũtũma ũtuĩke ta ũndũ wa kũguoyohia kũrĩ wee mwene o na wa kũmakia arata aku othe; nĩũkeyonera na maitho maku rĩrĩa andũ acio makooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora rwa thũ ciao. Nĩnganeana andũ a Juda othe kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Babuloni, nake amatahe amatware Babuloni, kana amooragithie na rũhiũ rwa njora.
5 Moreouer, I will deliuer all the substance of this citie, and all the labours thereof, and al the precious things thereof, and all the treasures of the Kings of Iudah will I giue into the hande of their enemies, which shall spoyle them, and take them away and cary them to Babel.
Nĩnganeana ũtonga wothe wa itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene kũrĩ thũ ciao: maciaro marĩo mothe, indo ciothe ciarĩo cia bata, o na mĩthithũ yothe ya athamaki a Juda. Nĩmagacitaha macitware Babuloni.
6 And thou Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house, shall go into captiuitie, and thou shalt come to Babel, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buryed there, thou and all thy friendes, to whome thou hast prophecied lyes.
Nawe Pashuri, na arĩa othe matũũraga gwaku nyũmba, nĩ mũgaatahwo mũtwarwo Babuloni. Kũu nĩkuo ũgaakuĩra na ũthikwo o kuo, wee hamwe na arata aku othe arĩa ũrathagĩra ũhoro wa maheeni.’”
7 O Lord, thou hast deceiued me, and I am deceiued: thou art stronger then I, and hast preuailed: I am in derision daily: euery one mocketh me.
Wee Jehova, nĩwaheenereirie, na niĩ ngĩheeneka, wangĩririe hinya ũkĩĩhoota. Ndindaga ngĩthekererwo mũthenya wothe; nyũrũragio nĩ mũndũ o wothe.
8 For since I spake, I cryed out of wrong, and proclaimed desolation: therefore the word of the Lord was made a reproche vnto me, and in derision daily.
Rĩrĩa rĩothe ngwaria-rĩ, nyanagĩrĩra ngĩhunjanagĩria ũhoro wa maũndũ ma ũhinya, na ma mwanangĩko. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩndeeheire o kũrumwo na kũnyararwo mũthenya wothe.
9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speake any more in his Name. But his worde was in mine heart as a burning fire shut vp in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.
No ingiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndigũcooka kũmũgweta kana kwaria ngĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩake,” ndũmĩrĩri yake ĩrĩa ĩrĩ ngoro-inĩ yakwa ĩhaana ta mwaki, o ta mwaki ũhingĩrĩirio mahĩndĩ-inĩ makwa. Nĩnogetio nĩkũmĩiga thĩinĩ wakwa, na ti-itherũ ndingĩhota.
10 For I had heard the railing of many, and feare on euery side. Declare, said they, and wee wil declare it: all my familiars watched for mine halting, saying, It may be that he is deceiued: so we shall preuaile against him, and we shall execute our vengeance vpon him.
Nĩnjiguaga andũ aingĩ makĩheehana atĩrĩ, “Itua-nda rĩrĩ mĩena yothe! Nĩacukanĩrĩrwo! Nĩtũmũcuukanĩrĩre!” Arata akwa othe metereire ndenderũke, makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Hihi nĩekũheeneka; hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩtũkũmũtooria, twĩrĩhĩrie harĩ we.”
11 But the Lord is with me like a mightie gyant: therefore my persecuters shall be ouerthrowen, and shall not preuaile, and shalbe greatly confounded: for they haue done vnwisely, and their euerlasting shame shall neuer be forgotten.
No rĩrĩ, Jehova arĩ hamwe na niĩ ta njamba ĩrĩ hinya; nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ arĩa maanyariiraga nĩmakahĩngwo na matikahootana. Nĩmagaconorithio mũno nĩgũkorwo matigaatooria; kũnyararwo kwao gũtikariganĩra o na rĩ.
12 But, O Lord of hostes, that tryest the righteous, and seest the reines and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for vnto thee haue I opened my cause.
Wee Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, wee ũtuĩragia andũ arĩa athingu, na ũkoiruuria maũndũ ma ngoro na ma meciiria, reke ndĩĩonere wee ũkĩndĩhĩria harĩ andũ aya, nĩgũkorwo wee nĩwe ndekereirie maũndũ makwa mothe.
13 Sing vnto the Lord, praise ye the Lord: for he hath deliuered the soule of the poore from the hande of the wicked.
Inĩrai Jehova! Goocai Jehova! Nĩgũkorwo nĩahonokagia mĩoyo ya arĩa abatari, akamĩruta moko-inĩ ma arĩa aaganu.
14 Cursed be the day wherein I was borne: and let not the day wherein my mother bare me, be blessed.
Mũthenya ũrĩa ndaciarirwo ũrogwatwo nĩ kĩrumi! Mũthenya ũrĩa maitũ aanjiarire-rĩ, ũroaga kũrathimwo!
15 Cursed be the man, that shewed my father, saying, A man child is borne vnto thee, and comforted him.
Mũndũ ũrĩa waheire baba ũhoro ũcio arogwatwo nĩ kĩrumi, ũrĩa watũmire akene mũno, rĩrĩa aamwĩrire atĩrĩ, “Nĩũciarĩirwo mwana wa kahĩĩ!”
16 And let that man be as the cities, which the Lord hath ouerturned and repented not: and let him heare the cry in the morning, and the showting at noone tide,
Mũndũ ũcio-rĩ, arotuĩka o ta matũũra marĩa Jehova aangʼaũranirie atarĩ na tha. Arotũũra aiguaga mũkayo o rũciinĩ, na akaigua mbu ya mbaara mĩaraho.
17 Because he hath not slaine me, euen from the wombe, or that my mother might haue bene my graue, or her wobe a perpetual conception.
Nĩ ũndũ ndanjũragire ndĩ nda ya maitũ, nĩguo maitũ atuĩke o taarĩ mbĩrĩra yakwa, nayo nda yake ĩtũũre ĩimbĩte nginya tene.
18 How is it, that I came forth of the wombe, to see labour and sorowe, that my dayes shoulde be consumed with shame?
Rĩu-rĩ, ndoimire nda ya maitũ nĩkĩ, nyonage o thĩĩna na kĩeha, na ndĩkĩrĩrie matukũ makwa njonokete?
