Jeremiah 27
1 In the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah the son of Josiah, king of Judah, came this word to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
O kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ kĩa wathani wa Zedekia mũrũ wa Josia, mũthamaki wa Juda, ndũmĩrĩri ĩno nĩyakinyĩrĩire Jeremia yumĩte kũrĩ Jehova:
2 "Thus says the LORD to me: Make bonds and bars, and put them on your neck;
Nake Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Wĩthondekere icooki rĩa mĩkwa na mĩtĩ mĩkĩranie, ũcooke ũmĩĩkĩre ngingo.
3 and send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the people of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah;
Ũcooke ũtũme ndũmĩrĩri kũrĩ athamaki a Edomu, na Moabi, na Amoni, na Turo na Sidoni ũmĩnengerete abarũthi ao arĩa mokĩte Jerusalemu kũrĩ Zedekia mũthamaki wa Juda.
4 and give them a command to their masters, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, You shall tell your masters:
Mahe ndũmĩrĩri matwarĩre anene ao, ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga: “Ĩrai anene anyu atĩrĩ:
5 "I have made the earth, the men and the animals that are on the surface of the earth, by my great power and by my outstretched arm; and I give it to whom it seems right to me.
Niĩ nĩ niĩ ndombire thĩ na andũ arĩa marĩ kuo o na nyamũ iria irĩ kuo na hinya wakwa mũnene na ndambũrũkĩtie guoko gwakwa, na ndĩmĩheaga o mũndũ ũrĩa ingĩenda kũhe.
6 Now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the animals of the field also have I given him to serve him.
Na rĩu nĩngũneana mabũrũri manyu mothe kũrĩ ndungata yakwa Nebukadinezaru, mũthamaki wa Babuloni; nĩngũtũma o na nyamũ cia gĩthaka imũtungatagĩre.
7 All the nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the time of his own land come: and then many nations and great kings shall make him their bondservant.
Ndũrĩrĩ ciothe nĩikamũtungatĩra we, na mũriũ, o na mwana wa mũriũ, nginya rĩrĩa ihinda rĩa bũrũri wake rĩgaakinya; hĩndĩ ĩyo ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ na athamaki anene nĩmakamũtua wa kũmatungatagĩra arĩ o.
8 It shall happen, that the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, says the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
“‘“No rĩrĩ, rũrĩrĩ o ruothe kana ũthamaki o wothe arĩa makaaga gũtungatĩra Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni, kana marege kũinamia ngingo mekĩrwo icooki rĩake, nĩngaherithia rũrĩrĩ rũu na rũhiũ rwa njora, na ngʼaragu, na mũthiro, nginya rĩrĩa ngarũniinithia na guoko gwake, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
9 But as for you, do not listen to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreams, nor to your soothsayers, nor to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, 'You shall not serve the king of Babylon':
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, tigai gũthikĩrĩria anabii anyu, na arathi anyu, na ataũri-a-irooto, na aragũri, kana andũ-ago, o acio mamwĩraga atĩrĩ: ‘Inyuĩ mũtirĩ hĩndĩ mũgaatungatĩra mũthamaki wa Babuloni.’
10 for they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land, and that I should drive you out, and you should perish.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩ ũhoro wa maheeni mamũrathagĩra, marĩa magaatũma mũtahwo, mũtwarwo kũndũ kũraya na bũrũri wanyu; ngamũingata, mũniinwo biũ.
11 But the nation that shall bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, that nation will I let remain in their own land, says the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell in it."'"
No rũrĩrĩ rũrĩa ruothe rũkainamia ngingo rwĩkĩrwo icooki rĩa mũthamaki wa Babuloni na rũmũtungatĩre-rĩ, nĩngetĩkĩria rũrĩrĩ rũu rũtũũre bũrũri-inĩ wao kĩũmbe, marĩmage na maikarage kuo, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.”’”
12 I spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, "Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
Nĩndaheanire ndũmĩrĩri o ro ĩyo kũrĩ Zedekia mũthamaki wa Juda. Ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Inamia ngingo yaku, wĩkĩrwo icooki rĩa mũthamaki wa Babuloni; mũtungatĩre we mwene na andũ ake, na nĩũgũtũũra muoyo.
13 Why will you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD has spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
Wee mwene mũrĩ na andũ aku-rĩ, mũgũkĩĩninithia nĩkĩ na rũhiũ rwa njora, na ngʼaragu, o na mũthiro, o icio Jehova atuĩrĩire rũrĩrĩ o ruothe rũrĩa rũtagatungatĩra mũthamaki wa Babuloni?
14 Do not listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, 'You shall not serve the king of Babylon'; for they prophesy a lie to you.
Tiga gũthikĩrĩria ũhoro wa anabii acio makwĩraga atĩrĩ, ‘Wee ndũrĩ hĩndĩ ũgaatungatĩra mũthamaki wa Babuloni,’ tondũ makũrathagĩra ũhoro wa maheeni.
15 'For I have not sent them,' says the LORD, 'but they prophesy falsely in my name; that I may drive you out, and that you may perish, you, and the prophets who prophesy to you.'"
‘Niĩ ndimatũmĩte,’ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. ‘Mararatha ũhoro wa maheeni, makĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩakwa. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngamũingata, na inyuĩ mũniinwo biũ, wee hamwe na anabii acio makũrathagĩra mohoro.’”
16 Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, "Thus says the LORD: 'Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, Look, the vessels of the LORD's house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon; for they prophesy a lie to you.
Ngĩcooka ngĩĩra athĩnjĩri-Ngai na andũ acio angĩ othe atĩrĩ: “Ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga: Tigai gũthikĩrĩria anabii acio mamwĩraga atĩrĩ, ‘Hatigairie o kahinda kanini, nacio indo iria ciarutirwo nyũmba ya Jehova icookio kuuma Babuloni.’ Maramũrathĩra ũhoro wa maheeni.
17 Do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: why should this city become a desolation?'
Tigai kũmathikĩrĩria. Tungatĩrai mũthamaki wa Babuloni, na nĩmũgũtũũra muoyo. Kaĩ itũũra rĩĩrĩ rĩngĩkĩanangwo nĩkĩ?
18 But if they are prophets and if the word of the LORD is with them, let them now make intercession with the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah and at Jerusalem may not go to Babylon.
Angĩkorwo acio nĩ anabii marĩ na ndũmĩrĩri kuuma kũrĩ Jehova-rĩ, nĩmagĩthaithe Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩguo indo iria itigarĩte gũkũ thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Jehova, o na thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya mũthamaki wa Juda, o na kũu Jerusalemu itigatwarwo Babuloni.
19 For thus says the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city,
Nĩ ũndũ ũũ nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe oigĩte ũhoro ũkoniĩ itugĩ cia hekarũ, na karia ka maaĩ, indo cia kũigĩrĩra iria ingĩ, na indo ciothe cia nyũmba ingĩkorwo itigaire gũkũ itũũra-inĩ rĩĩrĩ inene,
20 which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon did not take, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
iria Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni ataakuuire hĩndĩ ĩrĩa aatahire Jekonia mũrũ wa Jehoiakimu mũthamaki wa Juda agĩthaamio arutĩtwo Jerusalemu na agĩtwarwo Babuloni, we mwene hamwe na andũ othe a Juda na a Jerusalemu arĩa maarĩ igweta:
21 yes, thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem:
ĩĩ, ti-itherũ Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli oigĩte atĩrĩ ũhoro ũkoniĩ indo icio itigaire thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Jehova, o na thĩinĩ wa gĩikaro kĩa mũthamaki wa Juda, o na kũu Jerusalemu:
22 'They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be, until the day that I visit them,' says the LORD; 'then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.'"
‘Nĩigatwarwo Babuloni, na igaikara kũu nginya mũthenya ũrĩa ngooka gũcigĩĩra,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. ‘Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩngacirehe ndĩcicookie gũkũ.’”
