Jeremias 34
1 Thus said the Lord; Make to yourself bonds and yokes, and put [them] about your neck,
Rĩrĩa Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni aarũaga mbaara na Jerusalemu na matũũra marĩa maarĩrigiicĩirie, arĩ na mbũtũ ciake cia ita, hamwe na mothamaki marĩa maathagwo nĩwe, na ndũrĩrĩ ciothe ciakuo, ndũmĩrĩri ĩno nĩyakinyĩrĩire Jeremia yumĩte kũrĩ Jehova, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
“Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli ekuuga atĩrĩ: Thiĩ kũrĩ Zedekia mũthamaki wa Juda, ũmwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Ndĩ hakuhĩ kũneana itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Babuloni, nake nĩekũrĩcina na mwaki rĩthire.
3 and you shall send them to the king of Idumea, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hands of their messengers that come to meet them at Jerusalem to Sedekias king of Juda.
Nawe ndũkahonoka atĩ wĩeherie moko-inĩ make, tondũ ti-itherũ nĩũkanyiitwo na ũneanwo kũrĩ we. Nĩũkeyonera mũthamaki wa Babuloni na maitho maku, na nĩmũkaranĩria nake ũthiũ kwa ũthiũ. Nawe nĩũgatwarwo Babuloni.
4 And you shall commission them to say to their lords, Thus said the Lord God of Israel; Thus shall you say to your lords;
“‘No rĩrĩ, ta thikĩrĩria kĩĩranĩro kĩa Jehova, wee Zedekia mũthamaki wa Juda. Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ ũhoro ũgũkoniĩ: Wee ndũkooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora;
5 I have made the earth by my great power, and with my high arm, and I will give it to whoever it shall seem [good] in mine eyes.
ũgaakua gĩkuũ gĩa thayũ. O ta ũrĩa andũ maakirie mwaki wa macakaya nĩ ũndũ wa gũtĩĩa maithe maku, o acio athamaki arĩa maarĩ mbere yaku-rĩ, ũguo noguo magaakia mwaki nĩ ũndũ wa gũgũtĩĩa na magũcakaĩre, makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Ĩiya, Mwathi witũ-ĩ!” Niĩ mwene nĩ niĩ ndakwĩrĩra ũhoro ũcio, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.’”
6 I gave the earth to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon to serve him, and the wild beasts of the field to labor for him.
Nake Jeremia ũcio mũnabii akĩĩra Zedekia mũthamaki wa Juda maũndũ macio mothe, arĩ kũu Jerusalemu,
hĩndĩ ĩyo mbũtũ cia ita cia mũthamaki wa Babuloni ciahũũranaga na Jerusalemu o na matũũra macio mangĩ ma Juda marĩa meyũmĩrĩirie, nĩmo Lakishi na Azeka. Macio moiki no mo matũũra marĩa matigaire harĩ marĩa mairigĩirwo na hinya kũu Juda.
8 And the nation and kingdom, all that shall not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, with sword and famine will I visit them, says the Lord, until they are consumed by his hand.
Ndũmĩrĩri nĩyakinyĩrĩire Jeremia yumĩte kũrĩ Jehova thuutha wa Mũthamaki Zedekia kũrĩkanĩra kĩrĩkanĩro na andũ othe arĩa maarĩ Jerusalemu maanĩrĩre ũhoro wa kuohorwo kwa ngombo.
9 And listen you not to your false prophets, nor to them that divine to you, nor to them that foretell events by dreams to you, nor to your auguries, nor your sorcerers, that say, You shall by no means work for the king of Babylon:
Mũndũ o wothe angĩtuĩka nĩekuohora ngombo ciake cia Ahibirania, cia arũme na cia andũ-a-nja; gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũrĩkũ wagĩrĩirwo nĩ kũiga Mũyahudi ũrĩa ũngĩ arĩ ngombo.
10 for they prophesy lies to you, to remove you far from your land.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio anene othe o na andũ arĩa maatoonyire kĩrĩkanĩro-inĩ kĩu, magĩtĩkĩra atĩ nĩmekũrekereria ngombo ciao cia arũme na cia andũ-a-nja, na atĩ matigũcooka kũmaiga ũkombo-inĩ. Magĩgĩĩtĩkĩra ũhoro ũcio na makĩmarekereria.
11 But the nation which shall put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, I will even leave it upon its land, and it shall serve him, and dwell in it.
No rĩrĩ, thuutha-inĩ nĩmericũkirwo, makĩnyiita andũ acio mohorete na makĩmatua ngombo rĩngĩ.
12 I spoke also to Sedekias king of Juda according to all these words, saying, Put your neck into [the yoke], and serve the king of Babylon.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyakinyĩrĩire Jeremia, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
“Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ: Nĩndarĩkanĩire na maithe manyu ma tene rĩrĩa ndamarutire bũrũri wa Misiri, ngĩmaruta bũrũri wa ũkombo, ngĩmeera atĩrĩ,
14 For they prophesy unrighteous [words] to you,
‘Hĩndĩ ciothe mwaka-inĩ wa mũgwanja, o mũndũ o mũndũ wanyu wothe no nginya arekagĩrĩrie mũrũ wa ithe Mũhibirania o wothe ũrĩa wĩyendetie kũrĩ we. Thuutha wa gũgũtungata mĩaka ĩtandatũ-rĩ, no nginya ũmũrekererie.’ No maithe manyu matiigana gũũthikĩrĩria kana kũrũmbũiya ũhoro ũcio wakwa.
15 for I sent them not, says the Lord; and they prophesy [in] my name unjustly, that I might destroy you, and you should perish, and your prophets, who unrighteously prophesy lies to you.
Nĩmwĩrĩga kwĩrira, na mũgĩĩka maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire makĩonwo nĩ niĩ: Tondũ o ũmwe wanyu nĩanĩrĩire ũhoro wa kuohorwo kwa mũndũ o mũndũ bũrũri-inĩ. O na ningĩ mũkĩgĩa na kĩrĩkanĩro kĩu mũrĩ mbere yakwa thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ĩrĩa ĩĩtanĩtio na rĩĩtwa rĩakwa.
16 I spoke to you, and to all this people, and to the priests, saying, Thus said the Lord; Listen not to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the Lord's house shall return from Babylon: for they prophesy to you unrighteous [words].
No rĩu nĩmũgarũrũkĩte mũgathaahia rĩĩtwa rĩakwa; mũndũ o mũndũ wanyu nĩacooketie ngombo yake ya mũndũ mũrũme na ya mũndũ-wa-nja ĩrĩa ararekereirie ĩĩthiĩre o kũrĩa ĩngĩenda. Nĩmũmatuĩte ngombo cianyu rĩngĩ.
17 I sent them not.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Inyuĩ nĩmwagĩte kũnjathĩkĩra: mũtianĩrĩire kuohorithio kwa andũ a bũrũri wanyu. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rĩu nĩngwanĩrĩra ‘kuohorithio’ kwanyu, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga, nakuo nĩ ‘kuohorithio’ nĩguo mũũragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, na mũthiro, na ngʼaragu. Nĩngatũma mũtuĩke kĩndũ gĩa gũthũũrwo mũno mothamaki-inĩ mothe ma gũkũ thĩ.
18 If they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is in them, let them meet me, for thus has the Lord said.
Andũ arĩa magararĩte kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa, na makaaga kũhingia mohoro ma kĩrĩkanĩro kĩu maarĩkanĩire marĩ mbere yakwa, ngaameka o ta njaũ ĩrĩa maatinanirie icunjĩ igĩrĩ, makĩgerera gatagatĩ ga icunjĩ icio ciayo.
19 And as for the remaining vessels,
Atongoria a Juda na a Jerusalemu, na andũ arĩa mehokeirwo mawĩra ma kwa mũthamaki, na athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na andũ othe a bũrũri arĩa magereire gatagatĩ ga icunjĩ icio cierĩ cia njaũ ĩyo-rĩ,
20 which the king of Babylon took not, when he carried Jechonias prisoner out of Jerusalem,
nĩngamaneana kũrĩ thũ ciao iria ciendaga kũmaruta muoyo. Ciimba ciao igaatuĩka irio cia nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ, na cia nyamũ cia gĩthaka.
“Nĩnganeana Zedekia mũthamaki wa Juda na anene ake kũrĩ thũ ciao iria ciendaga kũmaruta muoyo, ndĩmaneane kũrĩ mbũtũ cia ita cia mũthamaki wa Babuloni, icio ciambĩte kũmweherera.
22 they shall go into Babylon, says the Lord.
Nĩngũruta watho, nĩguo Jehova ekuuga, na nĩngamacookia gũkũ itũũra-inĩ rĩĩrĩ inene. Nĩmakahũũrana narĩo, marĩtahe na marĩcine. Ningĩ nĩngonũha matũũra ma Juda makire ihooru, na kwage mũndũ ũngĩtũũra kuo.”
