Jeremias 31
1 Thus has the Lord said concerning MOAB, Woe to Nabau! for it has perished: Cariathaim is taken: Amath and Agath are put to shame.
“Ihinda-inĩ rĩu ngaakorwo ndĩ Ngai wa mbarĩ ciothe cia Isiraeli, nao nĩmagatuĩka andũ akwa,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
2 There is no longer any healing for Moab, [nor] glorying in Esebon: he has devised evils against her: we have cut her off from [being] a nation, and she shall be completely still: after you shall go a sword;
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Andũ arĩa makaahonoka kũũragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora-rĩ, nĩmagetĩkĩrĩka kũu werũ-inĩ; nĩngooka kũhuurũkia andũ a Isiraeli.”
3 for [there is] a voice of [men] crying out of Oronaim, destruction and great ruin.
Jehova nĩatuumĩrĩire matukũ-inĩ ma tene, agĩtwĩra atĩrĩ: “Niĩ ngwendete na wendo wa tene na tene; nĩngũguucĩrĩirie na ũtugi.
4 Moab is ruined, proclaim [it] to Zogora:
Nĩngagwaka rĩngĩ nawe nĩũgaakĩka, wee Isiraeli mũirĩtu ũyũ gathirange. Nĩũkooya tũhembe twaku rĩngĩ, uume ũthiĩ mũkaine hamwe na arĩa marakena.
5 for Aloth is filled with weeping: one shall go up weeping by the way of Oronaim; you have heard a cry of destruction.
Ningĩ nĩũkahaanda mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ kũu irĩma-inĩ cia Samaria; arĩmi nĩmakamĩhaanda, na makenere maciaro mayo.
6 Flee you, and save your lives, and you shall be as a wild ass in the desert.
Nĩgũkaagĩa mũthenya ũmwe ũrĩa arangĩri makaanĩrĩra marĩ tũrĩma-inĩ twa Efiraimu, moige atĩrĩ, ‘Ũkĩrai twambate tũkinye Zayuni, harĩ Jehova Ngai witũ.’”
7 Since you have trusted in your strong-hold, therefore you shall be taken: and Chamos shall go forth into captivity, and his priests, and his princes together.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Inĩrai Jakubu mũkenete, mũkũngũĩre rũrĩrĩ rũrĩa rũnene mũno. Tũmai kũgooca kwanyu kũiguuo, mũkiugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Wee Jehova, honokia andũ aku, o acio matigari ma Isiraeli.’
8 And destruction shall come upon every city, it shall by no means escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain country shall be completely destroyed, as the Lord has said.
Atĩrĩrĩ, ngaamarehe, ndĩmarute bũrũri wa gathigathini, ndĩmacookererie kuuma ituri ciothe cia thĩ. Na magooka marĩ na atumumu ao, na ithua, o na atumia arĩa marĩ na nda, o na arĩa mararũmwo; magaacooka marĩ kĩrĩndĩ kĩnene mũno.
9 Set marks upon Moab, for she shall be touched with a plague-spot, and all her cities shall become desolate; whence [shall there be] an inhabitant for her?
Nao magooka makĩrĩraga; nĩmakahooyaga ngĩmacookia kwao. Nĩngamagereria ndwere-inĩ cia tũrũũĩ twa maaĩ, njĩra-inĩ ĩrĩa njaraganu kũndũ matangĩhĩngwo, nĩgũkorwo niĩ nĩ niĩ ithe wa Isiraeli, nake Efiraimu nĩwe mũrũ wakwa wa irigithathi.
10 Cursed is the man that does the works of the Lord carelessly, keeping back his sword from blood.
“Thikĩrĩriai ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova, inyuĩ ndũrĩrĩ; hunjanĩriai ũhoro wayo ndwere-inĩ cia iria kũndũ kũraya, atĩrĩ: ‘We ũrĩa wahurunjire andũ a Isiraeli nĩakamacookereria, na amamenyerere o ta ũrĩa mũrĩithi arĩithagia mbũri cia rũũru rwake.’
11 Moab has been at ease from a child, and trusted in his glory; he has not poured out [his liquor] from vessel to vessel, and has not gone into banishment, therefore his taste remained in him, and his smell departed not.
Nĩ ũndũ Jehova nĩagakũũra Jakubu, na amahonokie kuuma kũrĩ arĩa marĩ hinya kũmakĩra.
12 Therefore, behold, his days come, says the Lord, when I shall send upon him bad leaders, and they shall lead him astray, and they shall utterly break in pieces his possessions, and shall cut his horns asunder.
Nĩmagooka maanĩrĩre nĩ gũkena marĩ kũu irĩma-inĩ cia Zayuni; nĩmagakenagĩra ũtaana wa Jehova: wa ngano, na wa ndibei ya mũhihano, na wa maguta, na wa tũgondu tuumĩte ndũũru-inĩ cia mbũri, na wa tũcaũ tuumĩte ndũũru-inĩ cia ngʼombe. Magaatuĩka ta mũgũnda unithĩirio maaĩ, na matigacooka kũnyiitwo nĩ ihooru rĩngĩ.
13 And Moab shall be ashamed of Chamos, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Baethel their hope, having trusted in them.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo airĩtu nĩmakaina na makene, o na aanake na athuuri o ũndũ ũmwe. Nĩngagarũra gũcakaya kwao gũtuĩke gĩkeno; nĩngamahooreria, na ndĩmahe gĩkeno handũ ha kĩeha.
14 How will you say, We are strong, and men strong for war?
Nĩngahũũnia athĩnjĩri-Ngai na bũthi, nao andũ akwa nĩmakaiganwo nĩ ũtugi wakwa,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
15 Moab is ruined, [even] his city, and his choice young men have gone down to slaughter.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Mũgambo nĩũiguĩtwo kũu Rama, gũcakaya kũnene na kĩrĩro, Rakeli akĩrĩrĩra ciana ciake, na akarega kũhoorerio, nĩgũkorwo ciana ciake itirĩ ho.”
16 The day of Moab is near at hand, and his iniquity moves swiftly [to vengeance].
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Wĩgirĩrĩrie mũgambo waku ũtige kũiguuo ũkĩrĩra, na ũgirĩrĩrie maitho maku gũita maithori, nĩ ũndũ nĩũkarĩhwo wĩra waku,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. “Ciana icio ciaku nĩigacooka kuuma bũrũri wa thũ.
17 Shake [the head] at him, all you that are round about him; all [of you] utter his name; say you, How is the glorious staff broken to pieces, the rod of magnificence!
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, nĩ harĩ kĩĩrĩgĩrĩro matukũ-inĩ maku ma thuutha,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. “Ciana ciaku nĩigacooka gũkũ bũrũri wacio kĩũmbe.
18 Come down from [your] glory, and sit down in a damp place: Daebon shall be broken, because Moab is destroyed: there has gone up against you one to ravage your strong-hold.
“Ti-itherũ nĩnjiguĩte mũcaayo wa Efiraimu akiuga atĩrĩ: ‘Wee nĩũũherithĩtie o ta gacaũ gatamenyerete gwĩkĩrwo icooki, na niĩ nĩnjathĩkĩte. Njokereria, na niĩ nĩngũcooka, tondũ wee nĩwe Jehova Ngai wakwa.
19 Stand by the way, and look, you that dwell in Arer; and ask him that is fleeing, and him that escapes, and say, What has happened?
Thuutha wa gũturuura, nĩndacookire ngĩĩrira; thuutha wa gũtaũkĩrwo, nĩndehũũrire gĩthũri. Nĩndaconokire na ngĩĩnyarara, nĩ ũndũ nĩndakuuĩte thoni cia wĩthĩ wakwa.’
20 Moab is put to shame, because he is broken: howl and cry; proclaim in Arnon, that Moab has perished.
Githĩ Efiraimu tiwe mũrũ wakwa ũrĩa nyendete, mwana ũrĩa niĩ ngenagĩra? O na gũtuĩka ndanamũũkĩrĩra kaingĩ-rĩ, no ndirikanaga ũrĩa ndĩmwendete. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngoro yakwa nĩĩmũnyootagĩra; nĩndĩmũiguagĩra tha mũno,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
21 And judgment is coming against the land of Misor, upon Chelon, and Rephas, and Mophas,
“Ĩkĩrai marũũri ma barabara, na mũhaande itugĩ cia kuonania njĩra. Ta rorai barabara ĩyo nene, o barabara ĩyo mwagereire mũgĩthiĩ. Njookerera, wee Isiraeli mũirĩtu gathirange, cooka matũũra-inĩ maku.
22 and upon Daebon, and upon Nabau, and upon the house of Daethlathaim,
Ũgũtũũra ũrũũraga nginya-rĩ, wee mwarĩ ũyũ ũtarĩ mwĩhokeku? Jehova nĩegũthondeka ũndũ mwerũ gũkũ thĩ: mũndũ-wa-nja nĩakagitĩra mũndũ mũrũme.”
23 and upon Cariathaim, and upon the house of Gaemol, and upon the house of Maon,
Ũũ nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga: “Rĩrĩa ngaamacookia moime kũrĩa maatwarirwo maatahwo-rĩ, andũ arĩa marĩ bũrũri-inĩ wa Juda o na matũũra-inĩ makuo nĩmagacooka kwaria ciugo ici rĩngĩ, moige atĩrĩ: ‘Jehova arokũrathima, wee gĩikaro gĩkĩ kĩa ũthingu, wee kĩrĩma gĩkĩ gĩtheru.’
24 and upon Carioth, and upon Bosor, and upon all the cities of Moab, far and near.
Andũ nĩmagatũũrania hamwe kũu Juda o na matũũra-inĩ makuo mothe, arĩmi o na andũ arĩa Morũũraga na ndũũru ciao cia mbũri.
25 The horn of Moab is broken, and his arm is crushed.
Nĩnganogora arĩa anogu, nake ũrĩa ũũrĩtwo nĩ hinya nĩngamũhũũnia.”
26 Make you him drunk; for he has magnified himself against the Lord: and Moab shall clap with his hand, and shall be also himself a laughing stock.
Ndaigua ũguo ngĩũkĩra, ngĩĩhũgũra mĩena yothe. Ngĩigua toro ũcio warĩ mwega mũno harĩ niĩ.
27 For surely Israel was to you a laughing stock, and was found among your thefts, because you did fight against him.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Matukũ nĩmarooka, rĩrĩa ngaiyũria nyũmba ya Isiraeli na nyũmba ya Juda na njiaro cia andũ na cia nyamũ.
28 The inhabitants of Moab have left the cities, and lived in rocks; they have become as doves nestling in rocks, at the mouth of a cave.
O ta ũrĩa ndaarũgamĩrĩire makĩmunywo na magĩtharũrio, na makĩngʼaũranio, na makĩniinwo, o na ngĩmarehera mwanangĩko-rĩ, ũguo noguo ngarũgamĩrĩra nĩguo makwo na mahaandwo wega,” nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
29 And I have heard of the pride of Moab, he has greatly heightened his pride and his haughtiness, and his heart has been lifted up.
“Matukũ-inĩ macio andũ matigacooka kuuga atĩrĩ, “‘Maithe ma ciana nĩmarĩĩte thabibũ irĩ rwagatha, namo magego ma ciana nĩmo maiguĩte thiithi.’
30 But I know his works: is it not enough for him? has he not done thus?
No rĩrĩ, mũndũ o wothe agaakua nĩ ũndũ wa mehia make we mwene; ũrĩa wothe ũkaarĩa thabibũ irĩ rwagatha, nĩ magego make mwene makaigua thithi.”
31 Therefore howl you for Moab on all sides; cry out against the shorn men [in] a gloomy place. I will weep for you,
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Matukũ nĩmarooka, rĩrĩa ngarĩkanĩra kĩrĩkanĩro kĩerũ na nyũmba ya Isiraeli, o na nyũmba ya Juda.
32 O vine of Aserema, as with the weeping of Jazer: your branches are gone over the sea, they reached the cities of Jazer: destruction has come upon your fruits, [and] upon your grape gatherers.
Nakĩo kĩrĩkanĩro kĩu gĩtihaana ta kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ndaarĩkanĩire na maithe mao ma tene rĩrĩa ndaamanyiitire na guoko, ngĩmatongoria ngĩmaruta bũrũri wa Misiri, tondũ nĩmagararire kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa, o na harĩa ndaarĩ ta ndĩ mũthuuri wao,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
33 Joy and gladness have been utterly swept off the land of Moab: and [though] there was wine in your presses, in the morning they trod it not, neither in the evening did they raise the cry of joy.
“Gĩkĩ nĩkĩo kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ngaarĩkanĩra na nyũmba ya Isiraeli ihinda rĩu rĩathira,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. “Nĩngekĩra watho wakwa meciiria-inĩ mao, na ndĩwandĩke ngoro-inĩ ciao. Ngaatuĩka Ngai wao, nao matuĩke andũ akwa.
34 From the cry of Esebon even to Aetam their cities uttered their voice, from Zogor to Oronaim, and their tidings [as] a heifer of three years old, for the water also of Nebrin shall be dried up.
Gũtigacooka gũkorwo na mũndũ ũkũruta ũrĩa ũngĩ, kana mũndũ arute mũrũ wa ithe, amwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Menyana na Jehova,’ tondũ andũ othe nĩmagakorwo maamenyete, kuuma ũrĩa mũnini mũno wao nginya ũrĩa mũnene,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. “Nĩgũkorwo nĩngamarekera waganu wao, na ndigacooka kũririkana mehia mao.”
35 And I will destroy Moab, says the Lord, as he comes up to the altar, and burns incense to his gods.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, o we ũcio ũtũmaga riũa rĩare mũthenya, narĩo itua rĩake rĩgatũma mweri na njata ciare ũtukũ, o we unjugaga iria namo makũmbĩ marĩo makaruruma, Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩrĩo rĩĩtwa rĩake:
36 Therefore the heart of Moab shall sound as pipes, my heart shall sound as a pipe for the shorn men; forasmuch as what [every] man has gained has perished from him.
“Mawatho ma kũrũmĩrĩrwo mangĩkeherio maitho-inĩ makwa-rĩ, norĩo njiaro cia Isiraeli ingĩtiga gũtuĩka rũrĩrĩ maitho-inĩ makwa,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
37 They shall all have their heads shaved in every place, and every beard shall be shaved; and all hands shall beat [the breasts], and on all loins shall be sackcloth.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Angĩkorwo igũrũ matu-inĩ no gũthimĩke, nayo mĩthingi ya thĩ ĩtuĩrio na kũu rungu-rĩ, niĩ na niĩ no rĩo ingĩingata njiaro ciothe cia Isiraeli nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa wothe mekĩte,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
38 And on all the housetops of Moab, and in his streets [shall be mourning]: for I have broken [him], says the Lord, as a vessel, which is useless.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Matukũ nĩmarooka rĩrĩa itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene rĩgaakwo rĩngĩ nĩ ũndũ wakwa, kuuma Mũthiringo ũrĩa Mũraihu na igũrũ wa Hananeli nginya Kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa Koine.
39 How has he changed! how has Moab turned [his] back! Moab is put to shame, and become a laughing stock, and an object of anger to all that are round about him.
Naruo rũrigi rwa gũthima rũgaatambũrũka kuuma hau rũringĩrĩire nginya karĩma-inĩ ka Garebi, rũcooke rwĩhiũrie rwerekere Goa.
40 For thus said the Lord;
Gĩtuamba-inĩ gĩothe kũrĩa ciimba iteagwo na gũgaitwo mũhu, na mbenji-inĩ ciothe gũthiĩ nginya Karũũĩ ga Kidironi mwena wa irathĩro o nginya koine-inĩ ya Kĩhingo kĩa Mbarathi, kũu guothe gũgaatuĩka kũndũ kwamũrĩirwo Jehova. Itũũra rĩu inene gũtirĩ hĩndĩ ĩngĩ rĩkamunywo kana rĩmomorwo.”
41 Carioth is taken, and the strongholds have been taken together.
42 And Moab shall perish from being a multitude, because he has magnified himself against the Lord.
43 A snare, and fear, and the pit, are upon you, O inhabitant of Moab.
44 He that flees from the terror shall fall into the pit, and he that comes up out of the pit shall even be taken in the snare: for I will bring these things upon Moab in the year of their visitation.
