Jeremias 7
Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa yakinyĩrĩire Jeremia yumĩte kũrĩ Jehova, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
2 Hear you the word of the Lord, all Judea.
“Thiĩ ũrũgame kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa nyũmba ya Jehova na ũrĩ hau wanĩrĩre ũhoro ũyũ, uuge atĩrĩ: “‘Thikĩrĩriai ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova, inyuothe andũ a Juda, inyuĩ mũtoonyagĩra ihingo-inĩ ici nĩguo mũgathathaiye Jehova.
3 Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Correct your ways and your devices, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ: Garũrĩrai mĩthiĩre yanyu o na ciĩko cianyu, na niĩ nĩngareka mũtũũre kũndũ gũkũ.
4 Trust not in yourselves with lying words, for they shall not profit you at all, saying, It is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.
Tigai gũikaraga mwĩhokete ndeto cia maheeni, muge atĩrĩ, “Ĩno nĩ hekarũ ya Jehova, ti-itherũ nĩ hekarũ ya Jehova, nĩ hekarũ ya Jehova ki!”
5 For if you thoroughly correct your ways and your practices, and do indeed execute judgment between a man and his neighbor;
Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, mũngĩagĩria mĩthiĩre yanyu na ciĩko cianyu biũ, na mũtuanagĩre ciira na kĩhooto mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ-rĩ,
6 and oppress not the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, and go not after strange gods to your hurt:
mũngĩaga kũhinyĩrĩria mũndũ wa kũngĩ, kana mwana wa ngoriai, kana mũtumia wa ndigwa-rĩ, na mwage gũitithia thakame ya mũndũ ũteehĩtie kũndũ gũkũ-rĩ, o na ningĩ mwage kwĩgerithia ngero nĩ ũndũ wa kũrũmĩrĩra ngai ingĩ-rĩ,
7 then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land which I gave to your fathers of old and for ever.
hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩngareka mũtũũre kũndũ gũkũ, o gũkũ bũrũri ũyũ ndaheire maithe manyu nginya tene na tene.
8 But whereas you have trusted in lying words, whereby you shall not be profited;
No rĩrĩ, mwĩhokete ndeto cia maheeni itarĩ kĩene.
9 and you murder, and commit adultery, and steal, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and are gone after strange gods whom you know not,
“‘Anga mũrĩiyaga na mũkooragana, na mũgatharia, na mũkehĩta na maheeni, mũgĩcinagĩra Baali ũbumba, na mũkarũmĩrĩra ngai ingĩ iria mũtooĩ,
10 so that it is evil with you; yet have you come, and stood before me in the house, whereon my name is called, and you have said, We have refrained from doing all these abominations.
na ningĩ mũgacooka mũgooka mũkarũgama mbere yakwa thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ĩno ĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, mũkoiga atĩrĩ, “Tũrĩ agitĩre”; mũgitĩirwo nĩguo mwĩkage maũndũ macio mothe marĩ magigi?
11 Is my house, whereon my name is called, a den of robbers in your eyes? And, behold, I have seen [it], says the Lord.
Nyũmba ĩno ĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa mũmĩtuĩte ngurunga ya atunyani? No niĩ nĩndĩĩoneire maũndũ macio! Ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
12 For go you to my place with is in Selo, where I caused my name to dwell before, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel.
“‘Rĩu ũkĩrai mũthiĩ Shilo, kũndũ kũrĩa ndambire gũtua gĩikaro kĩa Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, nĩguo mwĩonere ũrĩa ndeekire kuo nĩ ũndũ wa waganu wa andũ akwa a Isiraeli.
13 And now, because you have done all these deeds, and I spoke to you, but you listened not to me; and I called you, but you answered not;
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Rĩrĩa inyuĩ mwekaga maũndũ macio mothe, niĩ nĩndamwaragĩria kaingĩ kaingĩ, no mũtiigana kũnjigua; ndamwĩtire no mũtiigana kũnjĩtĩka.
14 therefore I also will do to the house whereon my name is called, wherein you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Selo.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ũrĩa ndeekire kũu Shilo noguo ngeeka nyũmba ĩno ĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, o hekarũ ĩno mwĩhokete, kũndũ gũkũ ndamũheire inyuĩ o na ngĩhe maithe manyu.
15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I cast away your brethren, all the seed of Ephraim.
Nĩngamũingata mwehere mbere yakwa, o ta ũrĩa ndeekire ariũ a ithe wanyu othe, nĩo andũ a Efiraimu.’
16 Therefore pray not you for this people, and intercede not for them to be pitied, yes, pray not, and approach me not for them: for I will not listen [to you].
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, tiga kũhoera andũ aya, kana ũmathaithanĩrĩre, kana ũmaarĩrĩrie, o na kana ũhooe ndĩmekĩre ũndũ tondũ ndingĩgũthikĩrĩria.
17 Seest you not what they do in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Kaĩ wee ũtarona ũrĩa mareka kũu matũũra-inĩ ma Juda, o na kũu njĩra-inĩ cia itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu?
18 Their children gather wood, and their fathers kindle a fire, and their women knead dough, to make cakes to the host of heaven; and they have poured out drink-offerings to strange gods, that they might provoke me to anger.
Ciana iroina ngũ, namo maithe mao magaakia mwaki, nao atumia magakanda mũtu, makarugĩra ngai ĩrĩa ĩĩtagwo Mũthamaki-Mũndũ-wa-nja wa kũũrĩa Igũrũ tũmĩgate, na maitĩre ngai ingĩ maruta ma indo cia kũnyuuo nĩguo maathirĩkie ndaakare.
19 Do they provoke me to anger? says the Lord: do they not [provoke] themselves, that their faces may be ashamed?
Jehova egũkĩũria atĩrĩ: Nĩ niĩ maraathirĩkia? Githĩ andũ aya ti o ene marethũkia meconorithie?
20 Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, my anger and wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and upon the men, and upon the cattle, and upon every tree of their field, and upon the fruits of the land; and it shall burn, and not be quenched.
“‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Marakara na mangʼũrĩ makwa nĩmagaitĩrĩrio kũndũ gũkũ, magaaitĩrĩrio mũndũ na nyamũ, na mĩtĩ ya gĩthaka o na maciaro ma thĩ, namo nĩmagaakana na matikahoreka.
21 Thus says the Lord, Gather your whole burnt offerings with your meat-offerings, and eat flesh.
“‘Ũũ nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga: Thiĩi na mbere na kuongerera maruta ma magongona manyu ma njino harĩ magongona manyu marĩa mangĩ, na mũrĩe nyama icio inyuĩ ene!
22 For I spoke not to your fathers, and commanded them not in the day wherein I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, concerning whole burnt offerings and sacrifice:
Nĩ ũndũ rĩrĩa ndaarutire maithe manyu kũu bũrũri wa Misiri na ngĩmaarĩria, ndiamaheire o mawatho makoniĩ maruta ma njino na magongona,
23 but I commanded them this thing, saying, Hear you my voice, and I will be to you a God, and you shall be to me a people: and walk you in all my ways which I shall command you, that it may be well with you.
no nĩndamaheire rĩathani rĩrĩ: Atĩrĩ, njathĩkagĩrai, na niĩ nĩngũtuĩka Ngai wanyu na inyuĩ mũtuĩke andũ akwa. Thiiagai na mĩthiĩre ĩrĩa yothe ndĩrĩmwathaga, nĩguo muonage maũndũ mega.
24 But they listened not to me, and their ear gave no heed, but they walked in the imaginations of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward;
No rĩrĩ, matiigana kũnjigua kana kũrũmbũiya ũhoro ũcio; handũ ha gwĩka ũguo-rĩ, maarũmĩrĩirie ũremi wa ngoro ciao njũru. Nao maacookire na thuutha, makĩaga gũthiĩ na mbere.
25 from the day that their fathers went forth out of the land of Egypt, even until this day. And I sent to you all my servants, the prophets, by day and early in the morning: yes, I sent [them],
Kuuma hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maithe manyu moimire bũrũri wa Misiri nginya rĩu, ndĩmũtũmagĩra ndungata ciakwa cia anabii, mũthenya o mũthenya, na hĩndĩ o hĩndĩ.
26 but they listened not to me, and their ear gave no heed; and they made their neck harder than their fathers.
No rĩrĩ, o matiigana gũũthikĩrĩria kana kũrũmbũiya ũhoro ũcio. No nĩmoomirie ngoro ciao na makĩagana gũkĩra maithe mao.’
27 Therefore you shall speak this word to them;
“Wameera maũndũ macio mothe-rĩ, matigaagũthikĩrĩria; o na rĩrĩa ũkaameeta, matigaagwĩtĩka.
28 This is the nation which has not listened to the voice of the Lord, nor received correction: truth has failed from their mouth.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, meere atĩrĩ, ‘Rũrũ nĩruo rũrĩrĩ rũrĩa rũregete gwathĩkĩra Jehova Ngai waruo, o na rũkarega gũtaarwo. Ũhoro-wa-ma nĩũthirĩte; nĩũmehereire ũkoima mĩromo-inĩ yao biũ.
29 Cut off your hair, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on your lips; for the Lord has reprobated and rejected the generation that does these things.
Enjwoi njuĩrĩ cianyu mũcite, mũcooke mũcakae mũrĩ kũu tũrĩma-igũrũ kũrĩa gũtigĩtwo gũtarĩ kĩndũ, nĩ ũndũ Jehova nĩaregete na agatiganĩria rũciaro rũrũ arakarĩire.
30 For the children of Juda have wrought evil before me, says the Lord; they have set their abominations in the house on which my name is called, to defile it.
“‘Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, andũ aya a Juda nĩmekĩte maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ makwa. Nĩmaigĩte mĩhianano ĩyo yao ĩrĩ magigi kũu thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ĩyo ĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, makamĩthaahia.
31 And they have built the altar of Taphes, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, to burn their sons and their daughters with fire; which I did not command them [to do], neither did I design it in my heart.
Nĩmakĩte kũndũ gũtũũgĩru gwa Tofethi, kũu Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Beni-Hinomu, nĩguo macinagĩre aanake na airĩtu ao na mwaki kuo, ũndũ niĩ itaathanire wĩkagwo, o na ũndũ ũtarĩ wagĩa meciiria-inĩ makwa.
32 Therefore, behold, the days come, says the Lord, when they shall no more say, The altar of Taphes, and the valley of the son of Ennom, but, The valley of the slain; and they shall bury in Taphes, for lack of room.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, mwĩmenyererei, tondũ matukũ nĩmarooka, rĩrĩa andũ matagacooka gwĩta kũndũ gũkũ Tofethi kana Gĩtuamba kĩa Beni-Hinomu, no gũgeetagwo Gĩtuamba gĩa Kũũraganĩrwo. Nĩgũkorwo kũu Tofethi nĩkuo magaathikaga andũ arĩa akuũ nginya kwage handũ hangĩthikanwo.
33 And the dead bodies of this people shall be for food to the birds of the sky, and to the wild beasts of the earth; and there shall be none to drive [them] away.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ciimba cia andũ acio nĩigatuĩka nyama cia kũrĩĩo nĩ nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ, o na nyamũ cia gĩthaka, na gũtigakorwo o na mũndũ ũmwe wa gũcirira.
34 And I will destroy out of the cities of Juda, and the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of them that make merry, and the voice of them that rejoice, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride; for the whole land shall become a desolation.
Ningĩ nĩnganiina mĩgambo ya gĩkeno na ya kũrũũhia, na mĩgambo ya gĩkeno kĩa mũhiki na mũhikania kũu matũũra-inĩ ma Juda, o na njĩra-inĩ cia Jerusalemu, nĩ ũndũ bũrũri ũcio nĩũgakira ihooru.
