< Jeremiah 33 >

1 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the guard, saying,
O mahinda-inĩ macio Jeremia aarĩ muohe kũu nja-inĩ ya arangĩri, ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyamũkinyĩire riita rĩa keerĩ, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
2 Thus saith the LORD that doeth it, the LORD that formeth it to establish it; the LORD is his name:
“Ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga, o we ũrĩa wombire thĩ, Jehova ũrĩa watũmire thĩ ĩgĩe ho, na akĩmĩhaanda, Jehova nĩrĩo rĩĩtwa rĩake:
3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and will shew thee great things, and difficult, which thou knowest not.
‘Ta kĩngaĩre, na niĩ nĩngũgwĩtĩka na ngwĩre maũndũ manene na matangĩtuĩrĩka, marĩa ũtooĩ.’
4 For thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are broken down [to make a defence] against the mounts, and against the sword:
Nĩgũkorwo ũũ nĩguo Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga ũhoro ũkoniĩ nyũmba iria irĩ itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene, o na nyũmba cia ũthamaki wa Juda o icio ciatharirio nĩguo indo iria ciakĩte kuo ihũthĩrwo kwĩgitĩra kuuma kũrĩ ihumbu cia tĩĩri iria cikũrigiicĩirie o na kuuma kũrĩ rũhiũ rwa njora,
5 they come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city.
makĩhũũrana na andũ a Babuloni: ‘Nyũmba icio ciothe nĩikaiyũrio ciimba cia andũ arĩa ngooragithia ndĩ na marakara na mangʼũrĩ. Nĩngahitha itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene ũthiũ wakwa nĩ ũndũ wa waganu wao wothe.
6 Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them; and I will reveal unto them abundance of peace and truth.
“‘No rĩrĩ, nĩngarĩrehera ũgima wa mwĩrĩ na ndĩrĩhonie. Ningĩ nĩngahonia andũ akwa na ndũme matũũre makenagĩra thayũ mũingĩ na ũgitĩri.
7 And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.
Nĩngacookia andũ a Juda na a Isiraeli gũkũ ndĩmarute kũrĩa matũũrĩte marĩ atahe, njooke ndĩmaake rĩngĩ, maikare o ta ũrĩa maatariĩ mbere.
8 And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned against me, and whereby they have transgressed against me.
Nĩngamatheria mathirwo nĩ mehia mothe marĩa mananjĩhĩria na ndĩmarekere mehia mao mothe ma kũrega kũnjathĩkĩra.
9 And [this city] shall be to me for a name of joy, for a praise and for a glory, before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do unto them, and shall fear and tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I procure unto it.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene nĩrĩkandehithĩria ngumo na gĩkeno, na gĩtĩĩo, na ũgooci, o na gwĩkĩrĩrwo mbere ya ndũrĩrĩ ciothe cia gũkũ thĩ rĩrĩa andũ akuo makaigua ũhoro wa maũndũ mothe mega marĩa ndĩmekagĩra; nĩkũgega makaagega na mainaine moona ũingĩ wa ũgaacĩru na thayũ ũrĩa ngaahe itũũra rĩu.’
10 Thus saith the LORD: Yet again there shall be heard in this place, whereof ye say, It is waste, without man and without beast, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without beast,
“Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Mwaragia ũhoro ũkoniĩ kũndũ gũkũ, mũkoiga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kũndũ kũnũhe gũtarĩ kĩndũ, na gũtarĩ andũ kana nyamũ.” No thĩinĩ wa matũũra ma Juda na njĩra-inĩ iria nene cia Jerusalemu, o kũu gũthaamĩtwo gũkaaga andũ kana nyamũ-rĩ, nĩgũgacooka kũiguuo
11 the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that say, Give thanks to the LORD of hosts, for the LORD is good, for his mercy [endureth] for ever: [and of them] that bring [sacrifices] of thanksgiving into the house of the LORD. For I will cause the captivity of the land to return as at the first, saith the LORD.
mĩgambo ya gĩkeno na ya gũcanjamũka, na mĩgambo ya mũhiki na mũhikania, o na mĩgambo ya andũ arĩa mararehe indo cia maruta ma gũcookia ngaatho nyũmba-inĩ ya Jehova, makiugaga atĩrĩ, “‘“Cookeriai Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ngaatho, nĩ ũndũ Jehova nĩ mwega; wendo wake ũtũũraga tene na tene.” Nĩgũkorwo nĩngacookeria bũrũri ũyũ ũgaacĩru waguo, o ta ũrĩa warĩ kuo mbere,’ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
12 Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Yet again shall there be in this place, which is waste, without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
“O na ningĩ Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Kũndũ gũkũ kũnũhe na gũtarĩ andũ kana nyamũ-rĩ, matũũra makuo mothe nĩmagacooka kũgĩa ũrĩithio kũrĩa arĩithi makaarahagia ndũũru ciao cia mbũri.
13 In the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks again pass under the hands of him that telleth them, saith the LORD.
Thĩinĩ wa matũũra ma bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma, o na marĩa marĩ magũrũ-inĩ ma irĩma cia mwena wa ithũĩro, o na ma Negevu, bũrũri-inĩ wa Benjamini, o na tũtũũra-inĩ tũrĩa tũrigiicĩirie Jerusalemu o na matũũra-inĩ ma Juda-rĩ, ndũũru cia mbũri nĩigacooka kũhĩtũkĩra guoko-inĩ kwa ũrĩa ũcitaraga,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
14 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah.
“Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Matukũ nĩmagooka rĩrĩa ngaahingia kĩĩranĩro gĩakwa kĩa wega kĩrĩa nderĩire nyũmba ya Isiraeli na nyũmba ya Juda.
15 In those days, and at that time, will I cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.
“‘Matukũ-inĩ macio o na ihinda rĩu-rĩ, nĩngarahũrĩra Daudi mũndũ mũthingu ũgerekanĩtio na rũhonge rwa mũtĩ; nĩageekaga maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire na ma kĩhooto bũrũri-inĩ.
16 In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is [the name] whereby she shall be called, The LORD is our righteousness.
Matukũ-inĩ macio, Juda nĩgũkahonokanio, nakuo Jerusalemu gũtũũre kũrĩ kũgitĩre. Nake ageetagwo rĩĩtwa rĩĩrĩ Jehova-Ũthingu-Witũ.’
17 For thus saith the LORD: David shall never want a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Daudi ndarĩ hĩndĩ akaaga mũndũ wa gũikarĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene kĩa nyũmba ya Isiraeli,
18 neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt offerings, and to burn oblations, and to do sacrifice continually.
kana athĩnjĩri-Ngai, arĩa Alawii, mage mũndũ wa gũikara mbere yakwa hĩndĩ ciothe acinage maruta ma njino, na maruta ma mũtu, o na arutage magongona marĩa ma o mũthenya.’”
19 And the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, saying,
Ningĩ ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyakinyĩrĩire Jeremia akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
20 Thus saith the LORD: If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, so that there should not be day and night in their season;
“Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Angĩkorwo inyuĩ mwahota gũthũkia kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na mũthenya, na kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na ũtukũ, nĩgeetha mũthenya na ũtukũ itigacooke kũgĩa hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yagĩrĩire-rĩ,
21 then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.
nakĩo kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ndaarĩkanĩire na Daudi ndungata yakwa, o na kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ndaarĩkanĩire na Alawii arĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa matungataga marĩ mbere yakwa, kĩahota gũthũkio, nake Daudi akĩage gũcooka kũgĩa na mũndũ wa rũciaro rwake wa gũthamakaga arĩ gĩtĩ-inĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene.
22 As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured; so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.
Nĩngatũma njiaro cia Daudi ndungata yakwa, o na Alawii acio matungataga marĩ mbere yakwa maingĩhe o ta njata cia igũrũ iria itangĩtarĩka nĩ ũndũ wa kũingĩha, o na ta mũthanga ũrĩa ũrĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria ũrĩa ũtangĩthimĩka ũrĩa ũigana.’”
23 And the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, saying,
O rĩngĩ ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyakinyĩrĩire Jeremia akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
24 Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD did choose, he hath cast them off? thus do they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.
“Kaĩ ũtamenyete andũ aya maroiga atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova nĩatete mothamaki marĩa meerĩ ethuurĩire’? Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mamenaga andũ akwa na matimoonaga ta marĩ rũrĩrĩ.
25 Thus saith the LORD: If my covenant of day and night [stand] not, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth;
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Angĩkorwo ndiigĩte kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na mũthenya na ũtukũ, o na mawatho marĩa marũmu ma igũrũ na thĩ-rĩ,
26 then will I also cast away the seed of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and will have mercy on them.
hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩngagĩteanĩria njiaro cia Jakubu na cia Daudi ndungata yakwa, na njage gũthuura ũmwe wa aanake ake atuĩke wa gũthamakĩra njiaro cia Iburahĩmu, na cia Isaaka, na cia Jakubu. Nĩgũkorwo nĩngamacookeria ũgaacĩru wao na ndĩmaiguĩre tha.’”
