Jeremiah 11
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD saying,
Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa yakinyĩrĩire Jeremia yumĩte harĩ Jehova:
2 Hear all of you the words of this covenant, and speak unto the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem;
“Ta thikĩrĩria mohoro ma kĩrĩkanĩro gĩkĩ, ũcooke ũhe andũ a Juda o na andũ arĩa matũũraga Jerusalemu ũhoro wamo.
3 And say you unto them, Thus says the LORD God of Israel; Cursed be the man that obeys not the words of this covenant,
Meere atĩrĩ, ũũ nĩguo Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli ekuuga: ‘Atĩrĩrĩ, kũgwatwo nĩ kĩrumi, nĩ mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũtaathĩkagĩra mohoro marĩa marĩ kĩrĩkanĩro-inĩ gĩkĩ;
4 Which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them, according to all which I command you: so shall all of you be my people, and I will be your God:
namo nĩ mohoro marĩa ndaathire maithe manyu rĩrĩa ndaamarutire bũrũri wa Misiri, ngĩmaruta kũu icua-inĩ rĩa gũtwekia igera.’ Ngĩmeera atĩrĩ, ‘Njathĩkagĩrai na mũhingagie maũndũ marĩa mothe ndĩmwathĩte, na inyuĩ nĩmũgũtuĩka andũ akwa, na niĩ nduĩke Ngai wanyu.
5 That I may perform the oath which I have sworn unto your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then answered I, and said, So be it, O LORD.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo, niĩ na Niĩ nĩngahingia mwĩhĩtwa ũrĩa ndehĩtĩire maithe manyu, atĩ nĩngamahe bũrũri ũrĩ bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ,’ na nĩguo bũrũri ũyũ mwĩgwatĩire ũmũthĩ.” Na niĩ ngĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Kũrotuĩka ũguo, Jehova.”
6 Then the LORD said unto me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear all of you the words of this covenant, and do them.
Jehova aanjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, “Hunjanĩriai mohoro macio mothe matũũra-inĩ ma Juda o na kũu barabara-inĩ cia Jerusalemu, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Thikĩrĩriai mohoro ma kĩrĩkanĩro gĩkĩ na mũmarũmagĩrĩre.
7 For I earnestly protested unto your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, even unto this day, rising early and protesting, saying, Obey my voice.
Kuuma hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndaarutire maithe manyu kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, nginya ũmũthĩ, ndũũrĩte ndĩmakaanagia o hĩndĩ o hĩndĩ, ngameera atĩrĩ, “Njathĩkagĩrai.”
8 Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do: but they did them not.
No matiigana kũnjigua kana kũrũmbũiya ũhoro ũcio; handũ ha gwĩka ũguo, o maarũmĩrĩire ũremi wa ngoro ciao thũku. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio na niĩ ngĩmarehithĩria irumi ciothe cia kĩrĩkanĩro kĩu ndaamaathĩte marũmagĩrĩre no-o makĩaga gũkĩhingia.’”
9 And the LORD said unto me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ harĩ ndundu ya njũkanĩrĩro ĩthugundĩtwo thĩinĩ wa andũ a Juda, o na thĩinĩ wa andũ arĩa matũũraga Jerusalemu.
10 They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers.
Nĩmacookereire mehia ma maithe mao ma tene, arĩa maaregire kũigua ndeto ciakwa. Nĩmarũmĩrĩire ngai ingĩ nĩgeetha macitungatĩre. Nyũmba cierĩ, ya Isiraeli na ya Juda, nĩithũkĩtie kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ndaarĩkanĩire na maithe mao ma tene.
11 Therefore thus says the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Nĩngũmarehithĩria mwanangĩko matangĩhota kũũrĩra. O na mangĩkaangaĩra, ndikamathikĩrĩria.
12 Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble.
Andũ a matũũra ma Juda na arĩa matũũraga Jerusalemu nĩmagathiĩ gũkaĩra ngai icio macinagĩra ũbumba, no itikamateithia o na hanini hĩndĩ ĩrĩa magaakorwo nĩ mwanangĩko.
13 For according to the number of your cities were your gods, O Judah; and according to the number of the streets of Jerusalem have all of you set up altars to that shameful thing, even altars to burn incense unto Baal.
Wee Juda-rĩ, ũrĩ na ngai nyingĩ o ta ũrĩa matũũra maku maigana, na igongona iria ũhaandĩte cia gũcinĩra ngai ĩyo ya thoni ĩtagwo Baali ũbumba nĩ nyingĩ o ta barabara cia Jerusalemu.’
14 Therefore pray not you for this people, neither lift up a cry or prayer for them: for I will not hear them in the time that they cry unto me for their trouble.
“Tiga kũhoera andũ aya, kana ũmathaithanĩrĩre, o na kana ũmaarĩrĩrie, tondũ ndikamathikĩrĩria hĩndĩ ĩrĩa makaangaĩra marĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ.
15 What has my beloved to do in mine house, seeing she has wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from you? when you do evil, then you rejoice.
“Mwendwa wakwa nĩ atĩa areka thĩinĩ wa hekarũ yakwa, o agĩthugundaga maũndũ mooru na andũ aingĩ? Anga nyama iria nyamũre cia kĩgongona-inĩ ciahota kũgirĩrĩria iherithia rĩaku? Amu ũgĩkenaga rĩrĩa ũgwĩka maũndũ maku ma waganu.”
16 The LORD called your name, A green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit: with the noise of a great tumult he has kindled fire upon it, and the branches of it are broken.
Jehova, akũheete rĩĩtwa atĩrĩ: Mũtamaiyũ mũruru mwega ũrĩ na maciaro mathaka makĩoneka. No rĩrĩ, nĩekũũgwatia mwaki, aũcine na mũrurumo wa kĩhuhũkanio kĩnene, nacio honge ciaguo ciunĩkange.
17 For the LORD of hosts, that planted you, has pronounced evil against you, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto Baal.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o ũcio wakũhaandire wee, nĩwe ũgũtuĩrĩire ũkorwo nĩ mwanangĩko, tondũ rĩrĩ, andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli na andũ a nyũmba ya Juda nĩmekĩte maũndũ mooru, makaandakaria nĩ ũndũ wa gũcinĩra Baali ũbumba.
18 And the LORD has given me knowledge of it, and I know it: then you showed me their doings.
Nĩndamenyire ndundu yao njũru nĩ ũndũ Jehova nĩanguũrĩirie, nĩgũkorwo o ihinda rĩu nĩanyonirie ũrĩa meekaga.
19 But I was like a lamb or an ox that is brought to the slaughter; and I knew not that they had devised devices against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with the fruit thereof, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, that his name may be no more remembered.
Niĩ ndatariĩ ta gatũrũme kahooreri koimagarĩtio gagathĩnjwo; ndiamenyaga atĩ nĩmathugundĩte kũnjĩka ũũru, makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtwanangei mũtĩ ũyũ na maciaro maguo; nĩtũmũniinei oime bũrũri-inĩ wa arĩa marĩ muoyo, nĩgeetha rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩtikanacooke kũririkanwo o rĩ, o rĩ.”
20 But, O LORD of hosts, that judge righteously, that try the reins and the heart, let me see your vengeance on them: for unto you have I revealed my cause.
No rĩrĩ, Wee Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o wee ũtuaga ciira na kĩhooto na ũkoiruuria maũndũ ma ngoro na ma meciiria-rĩ, reke ndĩĩonere wee mwene ũkĩndĩhĩria harĩ andũ aya, nĩgũkorwo wee nĩwe ndekereirie maũndũ makwa mothe.
21 Therefore thus says the LORD of the men of Anathoth, that seek your life, saying, Prophesy not in the name of the LORD, that you die not by our hand:
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga ũhoro-inĩ ũkoniĩ andũ a Anathothu, acio marenda gũkũruta muoyo, makoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Tiga gũcooka kũratha mohoro ũkĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, nĩgeetha tũtigakũũrage na moko maitũ’;
22 Therefore thus says the LORD of hosts, Behold, I will punish them: the young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine:
nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Nĩngamaherithia. Aanake ao makooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, nao ariũ ao na aarĩ ao mooragwo nĩ ngʼaragu.
23 And there shall be no remnant of them: for I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their visitation.
Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wao ũgaatigara, tondũ nĩngarehithĩria andũ a Anathothu mwanangĩko mwaka-inĩ ũrĩa makaaherithio.’”
