Jeremiah 25
1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah (the same was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon),
Ndũmĩrĩri nĩyakinyĩrĩire Jeremia ĩkoniĩ andũ othe a Juda, mwaka-inĩ wa kana wa gũthamaka kwa Jehoiakimu mũrũ wa Josia mũthamaki wa Juda, naguo nĩguo warĩ mwaka wa mbere wa gũthamaka kwa Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni.
2 which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jeremia ũcio mũnabii akĩĩra andũ othe a Juda na arĩa othe maatũũraga Jerusalemu atĩrĩ:
3 "From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, even to this day, these twenty-three years, the word of YHWH has come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking; but you have not listened.
Ihinda rĩa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtatũ, kuuma mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ĩtatũ wa ũthamaki wa Josia mũrũ wa Amoni mũthamaki wa Juda, nginya ũmũthĩ, ndũmĩrĩri cia Jehova itũire inginyagĩrĩra, na niĩ ngamũhe ũhoro wacio kaingĩ kaingĩ, no mũtithikĩrĩirie.
4 YHWH has sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them (but you have not listened, nor inclined your ear to hear)
Na rĩrĩ, o na gũtuĩka Jehova nĩamũtũmĩire ndungata ciake ciothe cia anabii kaingĩ, kaingĩ, mũtiigana gũthikĩrĩria kana gũtega matũ manyu nĩguo mũmaigue.
5 saying, 'Return now everyone from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that YHWH has given to you and to your fathers, from of old and even forevermore;
Maamwĩrĩte atĩrĩ, “Garũrũkai rĩu o ũmwe wanyu, mũtigane na mĩthiĩre yanyu mĩũru na ciĩko cianyu njũru, nĩguo mũtũũre bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa Jehova aamũheire inyuĩ o na maithe manyu nginya tene.
6 and do not go after other gods to serve them or worship them, and do not provoke me to anger with the work of your hands; and I will do you no harm.
Mũtikanarũmĩrĩre ngai ingĩ mũcitungatĩre kana mũcihooe; mũtikandakarie na ũndũ wa kĩrĩa mwĩthondekeire na moko manyu. Mwathĩka ũguo, hĩndĩ ĩyo ndikamũgera ngero.”
7 Yet you have not listened to me,' says YHWH; 'that you may provoke me to anger with the work of your hands to your own hurt.'
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “No inyuĩ mũtiathikĩrĩirie, no mũgĩĩthirĩkia nĩguo ndaakare na ũndũ wa kĩrĩa mwethondekeire na moko manyu, na inyuĩ nĩmũkĩĩgerithĩtie ngero.”
8 Therefore thus says YHWH of hosts: 'Because you have not heard my words,
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Tondũ nĩmũregete gũthikĩrĩria ndũmĩrĩri yakwa,
9 look, I will send and take all the families of the north,' says YHWH, 'and I will send to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations around; and I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
nĩngwĩta andũ othe a mwena wa gathigathini hamwe na ndungata yakwa Nebukadinezaru, mũthamaki wa Babuloni,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. “Nĩngũmarehe mookĩrĩre bũrũri ũyũ na arĩa matũũraga kuo o na mookĩrĩre ndũrĩrĩ ciothe iria iũrigiicĩirie. Nĩngamaniina biũ na ndũme matuĩke ta kĩndũ kĩa ihooru na gĩa kũmeneka, na manangĩke nginya tene.
10 Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.
Nĩngũmehereria mĩgambo ya gĩkeno na ya kũrũũhia, o na mĩgambo ya mũhiki na mũhikania, na mũrurumo wa ithĩi, o na ũtheri wa tawa.
11 This whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
Bũrũri ũyũ wothe ũgaatuĩka bũrũri ũtarĩ kĩndũ o na ũkirĩte ihooru, nacio ndũrĩrĩ icio nĩigatungatĩra mũthamaki wa Babuloni mĩaka mĩrongo mũgwanja.
12 It shall happen, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, says YHWH, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans; and I will make it desolate forever.
“No rĩrĩ, mĩaka mĩrongo mũgwanja yathira, nĩngaherithia mũthamaki wa Babuloni na rũrĩrĩ rwake, herithie bũrũri ũcio wa andũ a Babuloni nĩ ũndũ wa mahĩtia mao, na ningĩ nĩngatũma bũrũri ũcio ũtũũre ũkirĩte ihooru nginya tene,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
13 I will bring on that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this scroll, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
“Nĩngarehithĩria bũrũri ũcio maũndũ mothe marĩa ndanoiga atĩ nĩmakaũkora, marĩa mothe mandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩĩrĩ, o macio maarathĩirwo ndũrĩrĩ ciothe nĩ Jeremia.
14 For many nations and great kings shall make bondservants of them, even of them; and I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands.'"
Nĩgũkorwo o ene nĩmagatuĩka ngombo cia ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ na athamaki anene; na niĩ nĩngerĩhĩria harĩo kũringana na ciĩko ciao, o na kũringana na maũndũ marĩa maneeka na moko mao.”
15 For thus says YHWH, the God of Israel, to me: "Take this cup of the wine of wrath at my hand, and cause all the nations, to whom I send you, to drink it.
Atĩrĩrĩ, Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli, aanjĩĩrire atĩrĩ: “Oya gĩkombe gĩkĩ kĩiyũrĩte ndibei ya mangʼũrĩ makwa kuuma guoko-inĩ gwakwa, na ũkĩnyuithie ndũrĩrĩ iria ciothe ngũgũtũma kũrĩ cio.
16 They shall drink, and reel back and forth, and be mad, because of the sword that I will send among them."
Rĩrĩa ikaanyua-rĩ, nĩigatũgũũga na igũrũke nĩ ũndũ wa rũhiũ rwa njora rũrĩa ngaarehithia gatagatĩ-inĩ kao.”
17 Then took I the cup at YHWH's hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom YHWH had sent me:
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩoya gĩkombe kĩu kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa Jehova, na ngĩtũma ndũrĩrĩ iria ciothe aandũmĩte kũrĩ cio ikĩnyuĩre:
18 Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and its kings, and its officials, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day;
itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu na matũũra ma Juda, na athamaki akuo na anene akuo, nĩguo manangĩke, na matuĩke ta kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi na gĩa kũmeneka, o na kĩndũ kĩgwatĩtwo nĩ kĩrumi, ta ũrĩa matariĩ ũmũthĩ;
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, and his officials, and all his people;

20 and all the mixed people, and all the kings of the land of the Uz, and all the kings of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;

ningĩ andũ a Edomu, na Moabi na Amoni;
22 and all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea;
ningĩ athamaki othe a Turo na Sidoni; o na athamaki a icigĩrĩra iria irĩ mũrĩmo wa iria;
23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all who have the corners of their beard cut off;

24 and all the kings of Arabia, [and all the kings of the mixed people] who dwell in the wilderness;
ningĩ athamaki othe a Arabia, na athamaki othe a ndũrĩrĩ ngʼeni arĩa matũũraga werũ-inĩ;
25 and all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;
ningĩ athamaki othe a Zimuri, na Elamu na Media;
26 and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are on the surface of the earth: and the king of Sheshach shall drink after them.
o na athamaki othe a mwena wa gathigathini, a gũkuhĩ na a kũraya, marũmanĩrĩre mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ: moimĩte mothamaki-inĩ mothe ma thĩ. Na thuutha wao othe, mũthamaki wa Sheshaki nĩagakĩnyuĩra o nake.
27 "You shall tell them, 'Thus says YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel: "Drink, and be drunk, vomit, fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you."'
“Ũcooke ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga: Nyuai, mũrĩĩo na mũtahĩke, mũcooke mũgũe na mũtikanacooke gũũkĩra, nĩ ũndũ wa rũhiũ rwa njora rũrĩa ngaarehithia gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu.’
28 It shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at your hand to drink, then you shall tell them, 'Thus says YHWH of hosts: "You shall surely drink.
No rĩrĩ, mangĩkaarega kuoya gĩkombe kĩu kuuma guoko-inĩ gwaku manyue-rĩ, ũkameera atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga: No nginya mũnyue!
29 For, look, I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name; and should you be utterly unpunished? You shall not be unpunished; for I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth,"' says YHWH of hosts.
Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩnyambĩrĩirie kũrehe mwanangĩko itũũra-inĩ rĩĩrĩ inene rĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa; anga inyuĩ no mwage kũherithio? Mũtikaaga kũherithio, nĩ ũndũ nĩndĩrarehithĩria andũ arĩa othe matũũraga gũkũ thĩ rũhiũ rwa njora, ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.’
30 Therefore prophesy you against them all these words, and tell them, 'YHWH will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation; he will mightily roar against his fold; he will give a shout, as those who tread grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
“Rĩu marathĩre mohoro maya mothe, ũmeere atĩrĩ: “‘Jehova akaararama arĩ o kũu igũrũ; akaagamba ta ngwa arĩ gĩikaro-inĩ gĩake gĩtheru, na ararame na hinya, okĩrĩre bũrũri wake. Akaanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene mũno ta wa andũ arĩa marangagĩrĩria thabibũ, agũthũkĩre andũ othe arĩa matũũraga gũkũ thĩ.
31 A noise shall come even to the remotest parts of the earth; for YHWH brings charges against the nations; he will enter into judgment with all flesh: as for the wicked, he will give them to the sword,' says YHWH.
Inegene rĩu nĩrĩkaiguĩka nginya ituri-inĩ ciothe cia thĩ, nĩ ũndũ Jehova nĩagaciirithia ndũrĩrĩ; nĩagatuĩra andũ othe ciira na oorage arĩa aaganu na rũhiũ rwa njora,’” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
32 'Thus says YHWH of hosts, 'Look, evil shall go forth from nation to nation, and a great storm shall be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth.'
Ũũ nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga: “Atĩrĩrĩ! Mwanangĩko nĩũrahunja kuuma rũrĩrĩ rũmwe nginya rũrĩa rũngĩ; kĩhuhũkanio nĩkĩrahuhũkana kuuma ituri-inĩ cia thĩ.”
33 The slain of YHWH shall be on that day from all areas of the earth. They shall not be lamented, neither gathered, nor buried; they shall be dung on the surface of the ground.
Ihinda-inĩ rĩu andũ arĩa mooragithĩtio nĩ Jehova magaakorwo maaraganĩte kũndũ guothe, kuuma gĩturi kĩmwe gĩa thĩ nginya kĩrĩa kĩngĩ. Matikarĩrĩrwo, kana monganio, kana mathikwo, no magaaikara ta rũrua, mahurunjũkĩte thĩ.
34 Wail, you shepherds, and cry; and wallow in dust, you principal of the flock; for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions are fully come, and you shall fall like a goodly vessel.
Rĩrai na mũgirĩke, inyuĩ arĩithi aya; mwĩgaragariei rũkũngũ-inĩ, inyuĩ atongoria a rũũru rwa mbũri. Nĩgũkorwo ihinda rĩanyu rĩa gũthĩnjwo nĩ ikinyu; mũkaagũa mũthuthĩke o ta rĩũmba rĩrĩa rĩega mũno.
35 The shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape.
Arĩithi acio matikoona kũndũ gwa kũũrĩra, na atongoria a rũũru rwa mbũri matikoona gwa gwĩtharĩra.
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and the wailing of the principal of the flock. For YHWH lays waste their pasture.
Thikĩrĩriai mũigue kĩrĩro kĩa arĩithi, o na kĩgirĩko kĩa atongoria a rũũru rwa mbũri, nĩ ũndũ Jehova nĩaranangithia ũrĩithio wao.
37 The peaceable folds are brought to silence because of the fierce anger of YHWH.
Ũrĩithio ũcio wa cianda-inĩ ũtarĩ ũgwati nĩũkanangwo tondũ wa marakara mahiũ ma Jehova.
38 He has left his covert, as the lion; for their land has become an astonishment, because of the sword of the oppressor, and because of his fierce anger."
Akoimagara ta mũrũũthi ũkiuma kĩmamo-inĩ kĩaguo, na bũrũri wao nĩũgaakira ihooru nĩ tondũ wa rũhiũ rwa njora rwa mũhinyanĩrĩria, na nĩ ũndũ wa marakara mahiũ ma Jehova.
