Jeremias 22
1 Thus says the Lord; Go you, and go down to the house of the king of Juda, and you shall speak there this word,
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Ikũrũka ũthiĩ nginya nyũmba ya ũthamaki ya mũthamaki wa Juda ũhunjie ndũmĩrĩri ĩno kuo, uuge atĩrĩ:
2 and you shall say, Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Juda, that sit on the throne of David, you, and your house, and your people, and they that go in at these gates:
‘Ta thikĩrĩria ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova, wee mũthamaki wa Juda, o wee ũikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa ũthamaki kĩa Daudi: wee mwene, na anene aku, o na andũ anyu arĩa matoonyagĩra ihingo-inĩ ici.
3 thus says the Lord; Execute you judgment and justice, and rescue the spoiled out of the hand of him that wrongs him: and oppress not the stranger, and orphan, and widow, and sin not, and shed no innocent blood in this place.
Ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga: Ĩkagai maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire na ma kĩhooto. Honokagiai mũndũ ũrĩa ũtunyĩtwo indo ciake kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa mũmũhinyĩrĩria. Mũtikaneeke ũndũ mũũru kana maũndũ ma kũhũthĩra hinya harĩ mũndũ wa kũngĩ, kana harĩ mwana wa ngoriai kana mũtumia wa ndigwa, na ningĩ kũndũ gũkũ mũtikanaitithie thakame ya mũndũ ũtekĩte ũũru.
4 For if you will indeed perform this word, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, and riding on chariots and horses, they, and their servants, and their people.
Nĩgũkorwo mũngĩmenyerera mwathĩkĩre mawatho maya, hĩndĩ ĩyo athamaki arĩa maikarĩire gĩtĩ kĩa Daudi gĩa ũthamaki nĩmarĩtoonyagĩra ihingo-inĩ cia nyũmba ya ũthamaki, mahaicĩte ngaari cia ita na mbarathi, marĩ hamwe na anene ao, o na andũ ao.
5 But if you will not perform these words, by myself have I sworn, says the Lord, that this house shall be [brought] to desolation.
No mũngĩkaaga gwathĩkĩra mawatho maya, Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, Ndehĩta na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa mwene atĩ nyũmba ĩno ya ũthamaki nĩĩkanangwo.’”
6 For thus says the Lord concerning the house of the king of Juda; You are Galaad to me, [and] the head of Libanus: [yet] surely I will make you a desert, [even] cities that shall not be inhabited:
Nĩ ũndũ Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ ũhoro ũkoniĩ nyũmba ya ũthamaki ya mũthamaki wa Juda: “O na gũtuĩka ũhaana ta Gileadi harĩ niĩ, ũkahaana ta gacũmbĩrĩ ka Lebanoni, ti-itherũ nĩngatũma ũtuĩke ta werũ ũtarĩ kĩndũ, ũtuĩke ta matũũra matatũũragwo.
7 and I will bring upon you a destroying man, and his axe: and they shall cut down your choice cedars, and cast [them] into the fire.
Nĩngagũtũmĩra andũ magũũkĩrĩre, makwanange, o ũmwe wao eyohete indo ciake cia mbaara, na nĩmagatemanga mĩtarakwa yaku ĩrĩa mĩega mũno, mamĩikie mwaki-inĩ.
8 And nations shall pass through this city, and each shall say to his neighbor, Why has the Lord done thus to this great city?
“Andũ a ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ nĩmakahĩtũkĩra itũũra-inĩ rĩĩrĩ inene na nĩmakooranagia atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte Jehova eke itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene maũndũ ta maya?’
9 And they shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord their God, and worshipped strange gods, and served them.
Nao nĩmagacookerio atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ tondũ nĩmatirikire ũhoro wa kũrũmĩrĩra kĩrĩkanĩro kĩa Jehova Ngai wao, makĩhooya na magĩtungatĩra ngai ingĩ.’”
10 Weep not for the dead, nor lament for him: weep bitterly for him that goes away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native land.
Mũtikarĩrĩre mũthamaki ũcio ũkuĩte, kana mũcakae nĩ ũndũ wa kũũrwo nĩwe; no rĩrĩ, rĩrai na mũgirĩke nĩ ũndũ wa ũcio ũthaamĩtio, nĩ tondũ, ũcio ndagacooka kwao, kana oone bũrũri ũrĩa aaciarĩirwo rĩngĩ.
11 For thus says the Lord concerning Sellem the son of Josias, who reigns in the place of Josias his father, who has gone forth out of this place; He shall not return there any more:
Nĩ ũndũ Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ ũhoro ũkoniĩ Shalumu mũrũ wa Josia, ũrĩa wacookire ithenya rĩa ithe Josia, mũthamaki wa Juda, no nĩacookire akiuma kũndũ gũkũ: “Ndarĩ hĩndĩ agaacooka gũkũ gũthamaka.
12 but in that place whither I have carried him captive, there shall he die, and shall see this land no more.
Agaakuĩra kũu aatwarirwo arĩ mũgwate; ndakoona bũrũri ũyũ rĩngĩ.”
13 He that builds his house not with justice, and his upper chambers not with judgment, who works by means of his neighbor for nothing, and will by no means give him his reward.
“Kaĩ ũrĩa wakaga nyũmba yake ya ũthamaki na njĩra itarĩ cia ũthingu arĩ na haaro-ĩ! o ũcio wakaga tũnyũmba twake twa ngoroba na maũndũ matarĩ ma kĩhooto, na akarutithia andũ a bũrũri wake wĩra ũtarĩ mũcaara, akaaga kũmarĩha kĩrĩa maagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũheo nĩ ũndũ wa wĩra ũcio wao.
14 You have built for yourself a well-proportioned house, airy chambers, fitted with windows, and wainscoted with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
Oigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩngwĩyakĩra nyũmba nene ya ũthamaki, ĩrĩ na tũnyũmba twa ngoroba.’ Nĩ ũndũ ũcio amĩakaga ĩrĩ na ndirica nene, na akamĩhũũrĩrĩra mbaũ cia mũtarakwa, o na akamĩgemia na rangi mũtune.
15 Shall you reign, because you are provoked with your father Achaz? they shall not eat, and they shall not drink: it is better for you to execute judgment and justice.
“Kũgĩa na mbaũ nyingĩ mũno cia mĩtarakwa-rĩ, no gũtũme ũtuĩke mũthamaki? Githĩ thoguo ndaarĩ o na gĩa kũrĩa na gĩa kũnyua? Ekaga maũndũ marĩa maagĩrĩire na ma kĩhooto, nĩ ũndũ ũcio maũndũ make mothe makĩgaacĩra.
16 They understood not, they judged not the cause of the afflicted, nor the cause of the poor: is not this your not knowing me? says the Lord.
Aaciiragĩrĩra andũ arĩa athĩĩni na arĩa abatari, na nĩ ũndũ ũcio maũndũ make mothe makĩgaacĩra. Githĩ ũguo tiguo kũmenyana na niĩ?” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
17 Behold, your eyes are not good, nor your heart, but [they go] after your covetousness, and after the innocent blood to shed it, and after acts of injustice and slaughter, to commit them.
“No rĩrĩ, maitho maku na ngoro yaku irorereirio o uumithio ũtarĩ wa kwĩhokeka, cikeerekera gũitithia thakame ya andũ matarĩ ũũru mekĩte, o na kũhinyanĩrĩria, na gwĩtia indo na hinya.”
18 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Joakim son of Josias, king of Juda, even concerning this man; they shall not bewail him, [saying], Ah brother! neither shall they at all weep for him, [saying], Alas Lord.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ ũhoro ũkoniĩ Jehoiakimu mũrũ wa Josia, mũthamaki wa Juda: “Andũ matikamũrĩrĩra makiugaga atĩrĩ: ‘Wũi-ĩiya, mũrũ-wa-Ithe-witũ-ĩ! Wũi-ĩiya mwarĩ-wa-ithe-witũ-ĩ!’ Ningĩ matikamũrĩrĩra makiugaga: ‘Wũi-ĩiya mwathi-witũ-ĩ! Wũi-ĩiya riiri-wake-ĩ!’
19 He shall be buried with the burial of an ass; he shall be dragged roughly along and cast outside the gate of Jerusalem.
Agaathikwo o ta ũrĩa ndigiri ĩthikagwo: agaakururio, aikio na kũu nja ya ihingo cia Jerusalemu.”
20 Go up to Libanus, and cry; and utter your voice to Basan, and cry aloud to the extremity of the sea: for all your lovers are destroyed.
“Ambata, ũthiĩ Lebanoni, ũkanĩrĩre kuo, ũreke mũgambo waku ũiguĩke kũu Bashani, na ũkayũrũrũke kuuma Abarimu, nĩgũkorwo athiritũ aku othe nĩahehenje.
21 I spoke to you on [occasion of] your trespass, but you said, I will not listen. This [has been] your way from your youth, you have not listened to my voice.
Nĩndagũkaanirie rĩrĩa weiguaga ũrĩ mũgitĩre, nowe ũkiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ndigũthikĩrĩria!’ Ũyũ ũkoretwo ũrĩ mũthiĩre waku kuuma ũrĩ o mũnini; wee ndũrĩ wanjathĩkĩra.
22 The wind shall tend all your shepherds, and your lovers shall go into captivity; for then shall you be ashamed and disgraced because of all your lovers.
Arĩithi aku othe makaahurutwo nĩ rũhuho, nao athiritũ aku nĩmagathaamĩrio kũngĩ. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩũgaconoka na ũnyararithio nĩ ũndũ wa waganu waku wothe.
23 O you that dwell in Libanus, making your nest in the cedars, you shall groan heavily, when pangs as of a travailing woman are come upon you.
Inyuĩ mũtũũraga Lebanoni, o inyuĩ mũikaraga nyũmba cia mĩtarakwa, kaĩ nĩmũgacakaya rĩrĩa mũkanyiitwo nĩ ruo, o ruo ta rwa mũndũ-wa-nja akĩrũmwo-ĩ!”
24 [As] I live, says the Lord, though Jechonias son of Joakim king of Juda were indeed the seal upon my right hand, thence would I pluck you;
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “O ta ũrĩa niĩ ndũũraga muoyo-rĩ, wee Jekonia, mũrũ wa Jehoiakimu mũthamaki wa Juda, o na ũngĩrĩ gĩcũhĩ kĩa mũhũũri kĩrĩ guoko-inĩ gwakwa kwa ũrĩo-rĩ, no gũkũruta ingĩkũruta ho.
25 and I will deliver you into the hands of them that seek your life, before whom you are afraid, into the hands of the Chaldeans.
Ngũkũneana kũrĩ arĩa magũcaragia makũrute muoyo, o acio wĩtigagĩra, ngũneane kũrĩ Nebukadinezaru, mũthamaki wa Babuloni na kũrĩ andũ a Babuloni.
26 And I will cast forth you, and your mother that bore you, into a land where you were not born; and there you shall die.
Wee hamwe na maitũguo ũrĩa wagũciarire, ngamũnyuguta bũrũri ũngĩ kũrĩa mũtaciarĩirwo, na kũu nĩkuo inyuĩ eerĩ mũgakuĩra.
27 But they shall by no means return to the land which they long for in their souls.
Mũtirĩ hĩndĩ mũgaacooka gũkũ bũrũri ũyũ mwĩriragĩria gũgaacooka.”
28 Jechonias is dishonored as a good-for-nothing vessel; for he is thrown out and cast forth into a land which he knew not.
Hĩ anga mũndũ ũcio wĩtagwo Jekonia, nĩ nyũngũ nguũ na nyarare, na kĩndũ gĩtarĩ mũndũ ũngĩkĩenda? Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma we hamwe na ciana ciake manyugutwo, na maikio bũrũri matooĩ?
29 Land, land, hear the word of the Lord.
Atĩrĩrĩ, wee bũrũri, bũrũri, bũrũri ũyũ, ta thikĩrĩria ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova!
30 Write you this man an outcast: for there shall none of his seed at all grow up to sit on the throne of David, [or as] a prince yet in Juda.
Ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga: “Mũndũ ũyũ nĩandĩkwo maandĩko-inĩ, ta mũndũ ũtarĩ mwana, mũndũ ũtakagaacĩra mũtũũrĩre-inĩ wake wothe, nĩgũkorwo gũtirĩ mwana wake ũkaagaacĩra, gũtirĩ ũgaikarĩra gĩtĩ gĩa ũthamaki kĩa Daudi kana athamake rĩngĩ thĩinĩ wa Juda.”
