Jeremias 29
1 THUS SAITH THE LORD AGAINST THE PHILISTINES;
Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro ũrĩa waandĩkĩtwo marũa-inĩ marĩa mũnabii Jeremia aatũmire arĩ Jerusalemu kũrĩ athuuri arĩa maatigaire thĩinĩ wa arĩa maatahĩtwo, na kũrĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na anabii, o na andũ acio angĩ othe arĩa Nebukadinezaru aatahĩte kuuma Jerusalemu akamatwara Babuloni.
2 Behold, waters come up from the north, and shall become a sweeping torrent, and it shall sweep away the land, and its fulness; the city, and them that dwell in it: and men shall cry and all that dwell in the land shall howl,
(Hĩndĩ ĩno nĩ thuutha wa Mũthamaki Jekonia, na nyina wa mũthamaki, na anene a kwa mũthamaki, na atongoria a Juda na a Jerusalemu, na mabundi na atũũri gũkorwo matahĩtwo kuuma Jerusalemu.)
3 at the sound of his rushing, at [the sound of] his hoofs, and at the rattling of his chariots, at the noise of his wheels: the fathers turned not to their children because of the weakness of their hands,
Ehokeire marũa macio Elasa mũrũ wa Shafani, na Gemaria mũrũ wa Hilikia, arĩa Zedekia mũthamaki wa Juda aatũmire kũrĩ Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni. Marũa macio moigĩte atĩrĩ:
4 in the day that is coming to destroy all the Philistines: and I will utterly destroy Tyre and Sidon and all the rest of their allies: for the Lord will destroy the remaining [inhabitants] of the islands.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekwĩra andũ othe arĩa ndaarutire Jerusalemu ngĩmatwarithia Babuloni atĩrĩ:
5 Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ascalon is cast away, and the remnant of the Enakim.
“Mwĩyakĩrei nyũmba na mũcitũũre; haandai mĩgũnda mũcooke mũrĩe maciaro mayo.
6 How long will you strike, O sword of the Lord? how long will it be ere you are quiet? return into your sheath, rest, and be removed.
Hikaniai, mũciare aanake na airĩtu; carĩriai aanake anyu atumia mahikie, nao airĩtu anyu mũreke mahikio, nĩgeetha o nao maciare aanake na airĩtu. Ongererekai na mũingĩhe mũrĩ kũu; mũtikanyihanyiihe.
7 How shall it be quiet, whereas the Lord has given it a commission against Ascalon, and against the regions on the sea-coast, to awake against the remaining [countries]! CONCERNING IDUMEA, thus says the Lord; There is no longer wisdom in Thaeman, counsel has perished from the wise ones, their wisdom is gone,
Ningĩ-rĩ, caragiai thayũ na ũgaacĩru wa itũũra rĩu inene kũu ndĩmũthaamĩirie. Hooyagai Jehova nĩ ũndũ warĩo, tondũ rĩngĩgaacĩra-rĩ, o na inyuĩ no mũkũgaacĩra.”
8 their place has been deceived. Dig deep for a dwelling, you that inhabit Daedam, for he has wrought grievously: I brought trouble upon him in the time at which I visited him.
Ĩĩ, ũũ nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga: “Mũtikareke anabii na aragũri arĩa marĩ gatagatĩ kanyu mamũheenie. Mũtikanathikĩrĩrie irooto icio inyuĩ mũmaringagĩrĩria mamũrotere.
9 For grape gatherers are come, who shall not leave you a remnant; as thieves by night, they shall lay their hand upon [your possessions].
Mamũrathagĩra ũhoro wa maheeni, makĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩakwa. Ti niĩ ndĩmatũmĩte,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
10 For I have stripped Esau, I have uncovered their secret places; they shall have no power to hide themselves, they have perished [each] by the hand of his brother, my neighbor, and it is impossible
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Mwaniina mĩaka mĩrongo mũgwanja kũu Babuloni, nĩngooka kũrĩ inyuĩ ndĩmũhingĩrie kĩĩranĩro gĩakwa kĩa ũtugi gĩa kũmũcookia gũkũ.
11 for your fatherless one to be left to live, but I shall live, and the widows trust in me.
Nĩgũkorwo nĩnjũũĩ meciiria marĩa ndĩciiragia ũhoro-inĩ wanyu, o meciiria ma thayũ na ti ma kũmwĩka ũũru, meciiria ma kũmũhe kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro atĩ ũhoro wanyu nĩũkaagĩrĩra thuutha-inĩ,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
12 For thus says the Lord; They who were not appointed to drink the cup have drunk [it]; and you shall by no means be cleared:
“Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũkangaĩra na mũũhooe, na niĩ nĩngamũigua.
13 for by myself I have sworn, says the Lord, that you shall be in the midst of her an impassable [land], and a reproach, and a curse; and all her cities shall be desert for ever.
Ningĩ nĩmũkanjaria na nĩmũkanyona rĩrĩa mũkaanjaria na ngoro yanyu yothe.
14 I have heard a report from the Lord, and he has sent messengers to the nations, [saying, ]Assemble yourselves, and come against her; rise you up to war.
Niĩ na niĩ nĩngonekana nĩ inyuĩ,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. “Nĩngamũruta kũrĩa mũtũũrĩte mũrĩ andũ atahe, ndĩmũcookie gũkũ. nĩngamũcookanĩrĩria kuuma ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ ciothe na kũndũ guothe kũrĩa ndaamũhurunjĩire, na nĩngamũcookia kũndũ kũrĩa ndaamũrutĩte ngĩmũtwara mabũrũri ma kũngĩ,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
15 I have made you small among the nations, utterly contemptible among men.
Mwahota kuuga atĩrĩ, “Jehova nĩatwarahũrĩire anabii gũkũ Babuloni,”
16 Your insolence has risen up against you, the fierceness of your heart has burst the holes of the rocks, it has seized upon the strength of a lofty hill; for as an eagle he set his nest on high: thence will I bring you down.
no rĩrĩ, ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga ũhoro ũkoniĩ mũthamaki ũrĩa ũikaragĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene kĩa Daudi, marĩ hamwe na andũ othe arĩa maatigarire itũũra-inĩ rĩĩrĩ inene, na andũ a bũrũri wanyu, acio mũtaakuuanĩirio nao mũgĩtahwo:
17 And Idumea shall be a desert: every one that passes by shall hiss at it.
ĩĩ, Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Nĩngamatwarithĩria rũhiũ rwa njora, na ngʼaragu, na mũthiro, na ndũme mahaane ta ngũyũ njũru mũno, iria itangĩrĩĩka nĩ ũndũ wa gũthũka.
18 As Sodom was overthrown and Gomorrha and they that sojourned in her, says the Lord Almighty, no man shall dwell there, nor shall any son of man inhabit there.
Nĩngamaingatithia na rũhiũ rwa njora, na ngʼaragu, na mũthiro, na ndũme matuĩke kĩndũ kĩmeneku harĩ mothamaki mothe ma gũkũ thĩ, na matuĩke ta kĩndũ kĩnyiite nĩ kĩrumi na kĩrĩ magigi, na kĩndũ gĩa kũnyararwo na kũmeneka, manyararwo ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ ciothe kũrĩa ngaamatwarithia.
19 Behold, he shall come up as a lion out of the midst of Jordan to the place of Aetham: for I will speedily drive them from it, and do you set the young men against her: for who is like me? and who will withstand me? and who [is] this shepherd, who shall confront me?
Nĩgũkorwo matiathikĩrĩirie ndũmĩrĩri ciakwa, ndũmĩrĩri iria ndaamatũmĩire kaingĩ na tũnua twa ndungata ciakwa cia anabii”, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga “O na inyuĩ arĩa mwatahirwo-rĩ, mũtiigana gũthikĩrĩria,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
20 Therefore hear you the counsel of the Lord, which he has framed against Idumea; and his device, which he has devised against the inhabitants of Thaeman: surely the least of the sheep shall be swept off; surely their dwelling shall be made desolate for them.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, ta thikĩrĩriai ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova, inyuĩ arĩa mũtahĩtwo ngamũruta Jerusalemu mũgatwarwo Babuloni.
21 For at the sound of their fall the earth was scared, and the cry of the sea was not heard.
Ũũ nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga nĩ ũndũ wa Ahabu mũrũ wa Kolaia, na Zedekia mũrũ wa Maaseia, o acio mamũrathagĩra mohoro ma maheeni makĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩakwa: “Nĩngamaneana kũrĩ Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni, nake nĩakamooraga mũkĩĩonagĩra na maitho manyu.
22 Behold, he shall look [upon her] as an eagle, and spread forth [his] wings over her strongholds; and the heart of the mighty men of Idumea shall be in that day as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
Nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro ũcio wao-rĩ, andũ othe a Juda arĩa maatahirwo na rĩu marĩ Babuloni nĩmakamoinaga thimo makĩrumana, makoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova arotũma ũtuĩke ta Zedekia na Ahabu, arĩa mũthamaki wa Babuloni aacinire na mwaki.’
Nĩgũkorwo nĩmekĩte maũndũ mooru mũno thĩinĩ wa Isiraeli; nĩ matharĩtie na atumia a andũ angĩ, na makaaria ndeto cia maheeni, makĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, ũndũ itaameerĩte meke. Nĩnjũũĩ ũguo nĩguo, na ndĩ mũira wamo,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
Ĩra Shemaia ũcio Mũnehelami atĩrĩ,
“Ũũ nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga: Wee nĩwatũmire marũa na rĩĩtwa rĩaku mwene kũrĩ andũ othe a Jerusalemu, na kũrĩ Zefania mũrũ wa Maaseia ũrĩa mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai, o na kũrĩ athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa angĩ othe. Werire Zefania atĩrĩ,
‘Jehova nĩagũtuĩte mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ithenya rĩa Jehoiada nĩguo ũtuĩke mũrũgamĩrĩri wa nyũmba ya Jehova; wee wagĩrĩirwo nĩkuoherera mũgũrũki o wothe ũretua mũnabii ndungu magũrũ na ũmuoherere igera cia ngingo.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, nĩ kĩĩ kĩgirĩtie wee ũkaanie Jeremia ũcio wa kuuma Anathothu, o ũcio wĩtuaga mũnabii gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu?
Nĩatũtũmĩire ndũmĩrĩri ĩno gũkũ Babuloni akoiga atĩrĩ: Nĩmũgũikara mũrĩ atahe ihinda iraaya. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio akaai nyũmba na mũcitũũre, na mũrĩme mĩgũnda na mũrĩe maciaro mayo.’”
No rĩrĩ, we Zefania ũcio mũthĩnjĩri-Ngai agĩthomera mũnabii Jeremia marũa macio.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩgĩkinyĩra Jeremia, akĩĩrwo ũũ:
“Tũma ndũmĩrĩri ĩno kũrĩ andũ othe arĩa atahe: ‘Ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga ũndũ ũkoniĩ Shemaia ũcio Mũnehelami: Tondũ Shemaia nĩamũrathĩire ũhoro, o na gũtuĩka ndiamũtũmĩte, na nĩatũmĩte mwĩhoke ũhoro wa maheeni-rĩ,
ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga: Ti-itherũ nĩngaherithia Shemaia ũcio Mũnehelami na njiaro ciake. Ndakagĩa na mũndũ ũtigarĩte thĩinĩ wa andũ aya, o na kana eyonere maũndũ mega marĩa ngeeka andũ akwa, tondũ nĩahunjĩtie ũremi akaanjũkĩrĩra,’” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
