Jeremiah 19
1 Thus said the Lord, Go and buy a bottle from a maker of earthenware, and [take] some of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests;
Ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga: “Thiĩ ũgũre gatigithũ ka rĩũmba harĩ mũũmbi. Ũcooke woe athuuri amwe a kĩrĩndĩ na athĩnjĩri-Ngai amwe,
2 And go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the gate Charsith, and proclaim there the words that I will speak unto thee.
mumagare mũthiĩ Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Beni-Hinomu, hakuhĩ na itoonyero rĩa Kĩhingo-kĩa-Ngĩo. Wakinya hau wanĩrĩre ũhoro ũrĩa ngũkwĩra,
3 And say, Hear ye the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring evil over this place, so that the ears of every one that heareth it shall tingle.
uuge atĩrĩ, ‘Ta iguai ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova, inyuĩ athamaki a Juda, na andũ a Jerusalemu. Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli ekuuga atĩrĩ: Ta thikĩrĩriai! Nĩngũrehithia mwanangĩko kũndũ gũkũ ũrĩa ũgaatũma mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũkaũigua ararakwo nĩ matũ.
4 For the reason that they have forsaken me, and have defiled this place, and have burnt incense in it unto other gods, which they had not known, either they or their fathers, or the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;
Nĩgũkorwo nĩmandirikĩte na magatũma haha hatuĩke handũ ha ngai cia kũndũ kũngĩ; nĩmacinĩire magongona kũrĩ ngai iria o ene, kana maithe mao, o na kana athamaki a Juda matooĩ, na makaiyũria kũndũ gũkũ thakame ya andũ arĩa matarĩ ũũru mekĩte.
5 And they have built the high-places of Ba'al, to burn their sons with fire as burnt-offerings unto Ba'al, which I had not commanded, nor spoken, and which had not come into my mind:
Nĩmakĩĩte kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru gwa kũhooerwo Baali, na gwa gũcinagĩrwo ariũ ao na mwaki matuĩke maruta ma kũrutĩrwo Baali, ũndũ ũrĩa niĩ itaathanire wĩkagwo, kana ngĩũgweta, o na ũndũ ũtarĩ wagĩa meciiria-inĩ makwa.
6 Therefore, behold, days are coming, saith the Lord, that this place shall no more be called The Thopheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but, The valley of slaughter.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, Mwĩmenyererei, tondũ matukũ nĩmarooka rĩrĩa andũ matagacooka gwĩtaga kũndũ gũkũ Tofethi, kana Gĩtuamba kĩa Beni-Hinomu, no gũgeetagwo Gĩtuamba gĩa Kũũraganĩrwo.
7 And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of those that seek their life: and I will give their carcasses as food unto the fowls of the heaven, and unto the beasts of the earth.
“‘Kũndũ gũkũ nĩkuo ngathũkĩria mĩbango yothe ya Juda na ya Jerusalemu. Nĩngatũma mooragwo na hiũ cia njora nĩ thũ ciao, moko-inĩ ma andũ arĩa mendaga kũmaruta muoyo, nacio ciimba ciao ndĩciheane ituĩke nyama cia kũrĩĩo nĩ nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ na nyamũ cia gĩthaka.
8 And I will render this city desolate, and an [object of] derision: every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all its plagues.
Nĩngananga itũũra rĩĩrĩ ndũme rĩtuĩke kũndũ gwa kũnyararwo; arĩa othe makaahĩtũkĩra kuo nĩmakagega na mamanyũrũrie moona ũrĩa nguraro ciao cingĩhĩte.
9 And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his associate, in the siege and straitness, wherewith their enemies, and those that seek their life, shall distress them.
Nĩngatũma marĩe nyama cia mĩĩrĩ ya ariũ na aarĩ ao, na o mũndũ arĩe nyama cia mwĩrĩ wa mũndũ ũrĩa ũngĩ hĩndĩ ĩrĩa magaakorwo marĩ na mĩnyamaro nĩ ũndũ wa gũthiũrũrũkĩrio nĩ thũ ciao iria ciendaga kũmaruta muoyo.’
10 Then shalt thou break the bottle before the eyes of the men that are going with thee.
“Ũcooke ũũrage gatigithũ kau, acio mũgaathiĩ nao makĩonaga,
11 And thou shalt say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, In this manner will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be restored again; and in Thopheth shall they bury, for want of room to bury.
ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ: Nĩngahehenja rũrĩrĩ rũrũ, o na itũũra rĩĩrĩ, o ta ũrĩa mũndũ oragaga nyũngũ ya mũũmbi na ndĩcookaga gũthondekeka ĩtuĩke ngʼima rĩngĩ. Magaathika arĩa makuĩte kũu Tofethi nginya kwage handũ ha gũthikanwo.
12 Thus will I do unto this place, saith the Lord, and to its inhabitants, and to make this city as Thopheth:
Ũguo nĩguo ngeeka kũndũ gũkũ, o na andũ arĩa matũũraga kuo, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. Nĩngatũma itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene rĩhaane o ta Tofethi.
13 And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are unclean, shall become as the place of the Thopheth, with all the houses upon the roofs of which they have burnt incense to all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink-offerings to other gods.
Nyũmba iria irĩ Jerusalemu, o na cia athamaki a Juda nĩigathaahio o ta gũkũ Tofethi: nyũmba ciothe iria maacinĩire ũbumba igũrũ rĩacio, makĩũcinĩra mbũtũ ciothe cia njata, na magĩitagĩra ngai ingĩ maruta ma indo cia kũnyuuo.’”
14 Then came Jeremiah from the Thopheth, whither the Lord had sent him to prophesy; and he placed himself in the court of the house of the Lord; and said to all the people,
Jeremia agĩcooka akĩhũndũka kuuma Tofethi, o kũu Jehova aamũtũmĩte akarathĩre andũ ũhoro, nake akĩrũgama nja ya hekarũ ya Jehova, akĩĩra andũ othe atĩrĩ,
15 Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all its towns all the evil that I have spoken against it; because they have hardened their neck, so as not to hear my words.
“Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o Wee Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ta thikĩrĩriai! Nĩngũrehithĩria itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene, o na tũtũũra tũrĩa tũrĩrigiicĩirie tuothe mwanangĩko ũrĩa wothe ngwetete igũrũ rĩao, nĩ ũndũ nĩmoomirie ngingo, makĩaga gũthikĩrĩria ciugo ciakwa.’”
