Jeremiah 44
1 The worde that came to Ieremiah concerning all the Iewes, which dwell in the lande of Egypt, and remained at Migdol and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the coutry of Pathros, saying,
Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa yakinyĩrĩire Jeremia ĩkoniĩ Ayahudi othe arĩa matũũraga bũrũri wa Misiri ya Mũhuro: kũu Migidoli, na Tahapanahesi, na Nofu, o na kũu Misiri ya mwena wa rũgongo, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
2 Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, Yee haue seene all the euill that I haue brought vpon Ierusalem, and vpon all the cities of Iudah: and beholde, this day they are desolate, and no man dwelleth therein,
“Ũũ nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga: Inyuĩ nĩmweyoneire mwanangĩko mũnene ũrĩa ndaarehithĩirie Jerusalemu o na matũũra mothe ma Juda. Ũmũthĩ ũyũ nĩmatiganĩirio, magakira ihooru na makaanangĩka
3 Because of their wickednes which they haue comitted, to prouoke me to anger in that they went to burne incense, and to serue other gods, who they knew not, neither they nor you nor your fathers.
nĩ ũndũ wa ũũru ũrĩa mekĩte. Nĩmathirĩkirie, magĩtũma ndakare nĩ ũndũ wa gũcinĩra ngai ingĩ ũbumba, o na nĩ ũndũ wa kũhooya ngai ingĩ iria matooĩ, kana ikamenywo nĩ inyuĩ, o na kana nĩ maithe manyu.
4 Howbeit I sent vnto you all my seruats the Prophets rising earely, and sending them, saying, Oh doe not this abominable thing that I hate.
Ndatũũrĩte ndĩmatũmagĩra ndungata ciakwa cia anabii kaingĩ, o arĩa maameeraga atĩrĩ: ‘Tigai gwĩka ũndũ ũyũ ũrĩ magigi, o ũyũ niĩ thũire!’
5 But they would not heare nor incline their eare to turne from their wickednes, and to burne no more incense vnto other gods.
No rĩrĩ, matiigana gũthikĩrĩria kana kũrũmbũiya ũhoro ũcio; matiagarũrũkire matigane na waganu wao, kana matige gũcinĩra ngai ingĩ ũbumba.
6 Wherefore my wrath, and mine anger was powred foorth and was kindled in the cities of Iudah, and in the streetes of Ierusalem, and they are desolate, and wasted, as appeareth this day.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, marakara makwa mahiũ magĩitĩka; magĩakana matũũra-inĩ ma Juda na njĩra-inĩ cia Jerusalemu, nakuo gũgĩtigwo gwatuĩka kũndũ kwanangĩku gũgakira ihooru, o ta ũguo gũtariĩ ũmũthĩ.
7 Therefore now thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, Wherfore commit ye this great euill against your soules, to cut off from you man and woman, childe and suckling out of Iudah, and leaue you none to remaine?
“Rĩu-rĩ, Jehova Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekũũria ũũ: Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma mwĩrehere mwanangĩko mũnene ũguo na njĩra ya kweheria arũme na andũ-a-nja, na ciana na ngenge kuuma Juda, na inyuĩ mũkeniina, gũkaaga mũndũ o na ũmwe ũtigarĩte?
8 In that yee prouoke mee vnto wrath with the woorkes of your hands, burning incense vnto other Gods in the lande of Egypt whither yee be gone to dwell: that yee might bring destruction vnto your selues, and that ye might be a curse and a reproch among all nations of the earth.
Mũraathirĩkia nĩkĩ, mũgatũma ndaakare nĩ ũndũ wa kĩrĩa mũthondekete na moko manyu na ũndũ wa gũcinĩra ngai ingĩ ũbumba gũkũ bũrũri wa Misiri, kũrĩa mũũkĩte gũtũũra? Nĩmũkwĩniina na mũtuĩke kĩndũ gĩa kũrumagwo na gĩa kũnyararwo thĩinĩ wa ndũrĩrĩ ciothe cia thĩ.
9 Haue yee forgotten the wickednes of your fathers, and the wickednesse of the Kings of Iudah and the wickednesse of their wiues and your owne wickednes and the wickednes of your wiues, which they haue committed in the land of Iudah and in the streetes of Ierusalem?
Kaĩ mũriganĩirwo nĩ maũndũ ma waganu marĩa mekirwo nĩ maithe manyu, na athamaki na atumia-athamaki a Juda, na maũndũ ma waganu marĩa inyuĩ na atumia anyu mwekire bũrũri-inĩ wa Juda na njĩra-inĩ cia Jerusalemu?
10 They are not humbled vnto this day, neither haue they feared nor walked in my lawe nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.
Nginya ũmũthĩ, matirĩ menyiihia, kana makaahe gĩtĩĩo, kana makarũmĩrĩra watho wakwa, o na kana uuge wa kũrũmagĩrĩrwo ũrĩa ndaamũheire inyuĩ na maithe manyu.
11 Therefore thus sayeth the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, Beholde, I will set my face against you to euill and to destroy all Iudah,
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ: Nĩnduĩte atĩ nĩngũmũrehithĩria mwanangĩko, na nyanangithie Juda guothe.
12 And I will take the remnant of Iudah, that haue set their faces to goe into the lande of Egypt there to dwell, and they shall all bee consumed and fall in the lande of Egypt: they shall euen bee consumed by the sworde and by the famine: they shall die from the least vnto the most, by the sworde, and by the famine, and they shall be a detestation and an astonishment and a curse and a reproche.
Nĩngweheria matigari ma Juda macio matuĩte atĩ nĩmegũthiĩ bũrũri wa Misiri magatũũre kuo. Othe magaathirĩra bũrũri wa Misiri; makooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, kana makue nĩ ngʼaragu, kuuma ũrĩa mũnini nginya ũrĩa mũnene, othe makaaniinwo na rũhiũ rwa njora kana ngʼaragu. Magaatuĩka o ta kĩndũ kĩrume na kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi, o na kĩndũ gĩa kũmenwo na kĩa njono;
13 For I will visite them that dwel in the land of Egypt, as I haue visited Ierusalem, by ye sworde, by the famine, and by the pestilence,
andũ arĩa matũũraga bũrũri wa Misiri nĩngamaherithia na rũhiũ rwa njora, na ndĩmaherithie na ngʼaragu o na mũthiro, o ta ũrĩa ndaaherithirie Jerusalemu.
14 So that none of the remnant of Iudah, which are gone into the lande of Egypt to dwell there, shall escape or remaine, that they shoulde returne into the land of Iudah to the which they haue a desire to returne to dwell there: for none shall returne, but such as shall escape.
Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wa matigari ma Juda acio mathiĩte gũtũũra bũrũri wa Misiri ũkaahonoka, kana atigare nĩguo acooke bũrũri wa Juda, ũrĩa meriragĩria gũgaacooka magatũũre kuo; gũtirĩ ũgaacooka, tiga o andũ anini arĩa mageethara.”
15 Then all the men which knewe that their wiues had burnt incense vnto other gods and all the women that stoode by, a great multitude, euen all the people that dwelt in the lande of Egypt in Pathros, answered Ieremiah, saying,
Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ othe arĩa maamenyete atĩ atumia ao nĩmacinagĩra ngai ingĩ ũbumba, marĩ hamwe na atumia arĩa othe maarĩ ho, marĩ kĩũngano kĩnene, o hamwe na andũ arĩa othe maatũũraga Misiri ya mũhuro na ya Rũgongo, makĩĩra Jeremia atĩrĩ,
16 The worde that thou hast spoken vnto vs in the Name of the Lord, wee will not heare it of thee,
“Ithuĩ tũtingĩthikĩrĩria ndũmĩrĩri ĩyo ũtwarĩirie ũkĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova!
17 But wee will doe whatsoeuer thing goeth out of our owne mouth, as to burne incense vnto the Queene of heauen, and to powre out drinke offerings vnto her, as we haue done, both we and our fathers, our Kings and our princes in the cities of Iudah, and in the streetes of Ierusalem: for then had wee plentie of vitailes and were well and felt none euill.
Gũtirĩ nganja ithuĩ no tũgwĩka ũrĩa wothe tuoigire atĩ nĩtũgwĩka: Nĩtũrĩcinagĩra Mũthamaki-Mũndũ-wa-nja wa kũũrĩa Igũrũ ũbumba, na tũmũitagĩre maruta ma indo cia kũnyuuo, o ta ũrĩa ithuĩ ene, na maithe maitũ, na athamaki aitũ o na anene aitũ, meekaga matũũra-inĩ ma Juda na njĩra-inĩ cia Jerusalemu. Mahinda macio twarĩ na irio nyingĩ, na tũkagaacĩra, na tũtioonaga ũũru.
18 But since wee left off to burne incense to the Queene of heauen, and to powre out drinke offerings vnto her, we haue had scarcenesse of all things, and haue beene consumed by the sworde and by the famine.
No rĩrĩ, kuuma twatiga gũcinĩra Mũthamaki-Mũndũ-wa-nja wa kũũrĩa Igũrũ ũbumba, na tũgĩtiga kũmũrutagĩra magongona ma indo cia kũnyuuo-rĩ, tũtirĩ kĩndũ tũkoretwo tũrĩ nakĩo, na tũniinagwo na rũhiũ rwa njora na ngʼaragu.”
19 And when we burnt incense to ye Queene of heauen, and powred out drinke offerings vnto her, did wee make her cakes to make her glad, and powre out drinke offerings vnto her without our husbands?
Atumia nao magĩcooka makĩongerera atĩrĩ, “Rĩrĩa twacinagĩra Mũthamaki-Mũndũ-wa-nja wa kũũrĩa Igũrũ ũbumba, na tũkamũrutagĩra magongona ma indo cia kũnyuuo-rĩ, githĩ o nao athuuri aitũ matiamenyaga atĩ nĩtwamũthondekagĩra tũmĩgate tũrĩ na mũhianano wake, na tũkamũrutagĩra magongona ma indo cia kũnyuuo?”
20 Then said Ieremiah vnto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had giuen him that answere, saying,
Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jeremia akĩarĩria andũ othe, arũme na andũ-a-nja, acio maamũcookagĩria ũhoro, akĩmeera atĩrĩ,
21 Did not the Lord remember the incense, that yee burnt in the cities of Iudah, and in the streetes of Ierusalem, both you, and your fathers, your Kinges, and your princes, and the people of the land, and hath he not considered it?
“Githĩ Jehova ndaaririkanire na agĩĩciiria ũhoro wa ũbumba ũcio wacinagĩrwo matũũra-inĩ macio ma Juda na njĩra-inĩ cia Jerusalemu nĩ inyuĩ, na maithe manyu, na athamaki anyu, na anene anyu, o na andũ othe a bũrũri ũcio?
22 So that the Lord could no longer forbeare, because of the wickednes of your inuentions, and because of the abominations, which ye haue committed: therefore is your lande desolate and an astonishment, and a curse and without inhabitant, as appeareth this day.
Na rĩrĩa Jehova aaremirwo nĩ gũcooka gũkirĩrĩria ciĩko cianyu cia waganu na maũndũ marĩ magigi macio mwekaga-rĩ, bũrũri wanyu ũgĩtuĩka kũndũ gwa kũnyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi, na ũgĩtuĩka kũndũ gũkirĩte ihooru, gũtarĩ andũ matũũraga kuo, o ta ũguo gũtariĩ ũmũthĩ.
23 Because ye haue burnt incense and because ye haue sinned against the Lord, and haue not obeyed the voyce of the Lord, nor walked in his Lawe, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies, therefore this plague is come vpon you, as appeareth this day.
Nĩ ũndũ inyuĩ nĩmũcinĩte ũbumba mũkehĩria Jehova, na nĩmũregete kũmwathĩkĩra, kana kũrũmĩrĩra watho wake kana uuge wake wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, o na kana irĩra ciake-rĩ, nĩkĩo mwanangĩko ũyũ ũmũkorete rĩu, o ta ũrĩa mũrona.”
24 Moreouer Ieremiah saide vnto all the people and to all the women, Heare the word of the Lord, all Iudah that are in the land of Egypt.
Ningĩ Jeremia akĩĩra andũ othe, hamwe na andũ-a-nja acio, atĩrĩ, “Ta iguai ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova, inyuĩ andũ othe a Juda mũrĩ gũkũ bũrũri wa Misiri.
25 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Ye and your wiues haue both spoken with your mouthes, and fulfilled with your hande, saying, We will performe our vowes that we haue vowed to burne incense to the Queene of heauen, and to powre out drinke offerings to her: yee will perfourme your vowes and doe the things that yee haue vowed.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ: Inyuĩ na atumia anyu nĩmuonanĩtie na ciĩko cianyu ũrĩa mweranĩire rĩrĩa mwoigire atĩrĩ, ‘Gũtirĩ nganja, ithuĩ no nginya tũhingie mĩĩhĩtwa ĩrĩa twehĩtire atĩ nĩtũrĩcinagĩra Mũthamaki-Mũndũ-wa-nja wa kũũrĩa Igũrũ ũbumba, na nĩtũrĩmũrutagĩra maruta ma indo cia kũnyuuo.’ “Thiĩi na mbere, ĩkai ũrĩa mweranĩire! Hingiai mĩĩhĩtwa yanyu!
26 Therefore heare the word of the Lord, all Iudah that dwel in the land of Egypt. Beholde, I haue sworne by my great Name, sayeth the Lord, that my Name shall no more be called vpon by the mouth of any man of Iudah, in all the lande of Egypt, saying, The Lord God liueth.
No rĩrĩ, iguai ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova, inyuĩ Ayahudi othe arĩa mũtũũraga bũrũri wa Misiri: Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩndĩhĩtĩte na rĩĩtwa rĩakwa inene, ngoiga gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wa kuuma Juda ũtũũraga handũ o hothe thĩinĩ wa bũrũri wa Misiri ũgaacooka kũgweta rĩĩtwa rĩakwa kana ehĩte akiugaga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Mwathani Jehova atũũraga muoyo.”
27 Behold, I wil watch ouer them for euil and not for good, and all men of Iudah that are in the land of Egypt, shalbe consumed by the sword, and by the famine, vntill they be vtterly destroied.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩndĩmacũthĩrĩirie ndĩmarehere ũũru, no ti ndĩmarehere wega; Ayahudi arĩa marĩ bũrũri wa Misiri nĩmakaniinwo na rũhiũ rwa njora na ngʼaragu, nginya othe mathire biũ.
28 Yet a small nomber that escape the sworde, shall returne out of the lande of Egypt into the lande of Iudah: and all the remnant of Iudah that are gone into the lande of Egypt to dwell there, shall know whose words shall stad, mine or theirs.
Arĩa makaahonoka kũũragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora macooke bũrũri wa Juda moimĩte bũrũri wa Misiri magaakorwo marĩ anini mũno. Hĩndĩ ĩyo matigari mothe ma andũ a Juda arĩa mathiĩte gũtũũra bũrũri wa Misiri, nĩmakamenya nĩ kiugo kĩa ũ gĩkaarũgama: nĩ gĩakwa kana nĩ kĩao.’
29 And this shall be a signe vnto you, saith the Lord, whe I visit you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for euill.
“Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Ũndũ ũyũ nĩguo ũgaatuĩka kĩmenyithia kĩanyu atĩ nĩngamũherithia mũrĩ gũkũ, nĩguo mũmenye atĩ ti-itherũ uuge wakwa wa kũmũrehithĩria ũũru nĩũkehaanda.’
30 Thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, I will giue Pharaoh Hophra King of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seeke his life: as I gaue Zedekiah King of Iudah into the hand of Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel his enemie, who also sought his life.
Ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga: ‘Nĩngũneana Firaũni Hofira mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Misiri kũrĩ thũ ciake iria icaragia kũmũruta muoyo, o ta ũrĩa ndaaneanire Zedekia mũthamaki wa Juda moko-inĩ ma Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni, thũ ĩrĩa yacaragia kũmũruta muoyo.’”
