Jeremiah 48
1 Of Moab, —Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, —Alas for Nebo, for it is laid waste, put to shame—captured, is Kiriathaim, put to shame is Misgab, and dismayed.
Ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ bũrũri wa Moabi: Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Wũi-ĩiya, nĩ ũndũ Nebo nĩgũkwanangwo-ĩ. Kiriathaimu nĩgũgaconorithio na gũtunyanwo; kĩĩgitĩro kĩrĩa kĩrũmu nĩgĩgaconorithio na kĩharaganio.
2 No more, is the praise of Moab, In Heshbon, have they devised against her, calamity, Come, and let us cut her off from being a nation, —Even thou, Madmen also, shalt be silenced, After thee, shall march the sword.
Moabi gũtigacooka kũgaathĩrĩrio rĩngĩ; kũu Heshiboni andũ nĩmagathugunda ũrĩa megũgũũkĩrĩra, makoiga atĩrĩ: ‘Ũkai, nĩtũniinei rũrĩrĩ rũu.’ O nawe itũũra rĩa Madimeni-rĩ, nĩũgakirio ki; rũhiũ rwa njora nĩrũgagũtengʼeria.
3 A voice of outcry, from Horonaim, —Wasting and great destruction!
Ta thikĩrĩria mbu ĩyo ĩroigwo kũu Horonaimu, mbu nĩ ũndũ wa kũniinanwo kũnene na mwanangĩko.
4 Moab is broken: Her little ones, have caused to be heard an outcry.
Bũrũri wa Moabi nĩũkonũhwo: ciana ciakuo cia ngenge nĩikaarĩra ciugĩrĩirie.
5 For the ascent of Luhith, with weeping, one ascendeth—with weeping, —For in the descent of Horonaim, the distress of the outcry of destruction, have they heard:
Marambata na njĩra ya gũthiĩ Luhithu, makĩrĩraga na ruo rũnene o magĩthiiaga; marĩ njĩra-inĩ ya gũikũrũka Horonaimu nĩmaiguĩte kĩrĩro kĩa ruo ruumĩte ngoro nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa kwanangĩtwo.
6 Flee deliver your own lives, —Then shall the women be as a shrub in the desert.
Mwĩtharei! Honokiai mĩoyo yanyu, tuĩkai ta kahinga karĩ werũ-inĩ.
7 For seeing thou hast trusted in thy works and in thy treasures, Thou too, shalt be captured, —Then shall Chemosh go forth into captivity, His priests and his princes together.
Tondũ wa ũrĩa wee wĩhokete ciĩko ciaku o na ũtonga waku-rĩ, o nawe nĩũgatahwo, nayo ngai ĩrĩa ĩtagwo Kemoshu nĩĩgatwarwo ithaamĩrio, ĩrĩ hamwe na athĩnjĩri-ngai, o na anene a yo.
8 And the spoiler shall enter into every city, And not, a city, shall escape, Then shall perish the vale Then be destroyed the table-land, —As Yahweh hath said.
Mũniinani nĩagookĩrĩra itũũra o itũũra, na gũtirĩ itũũra rĩkahonoka. Gĩtuamba nĩgĩkaharaganio, naguo werũ ũrĩa mwaraganu wanangwo, tondũ Jehova nĩwe ugĩte ũguo.
9 Give wing to Moab, For she must, fly away; And her cities To desolation, shall be turned, With no inhabitant therein.
Itĩrĩriai Moabi cumbĩ, tondũ nĩrĩkonũhwo; matũũra makuo nĩmagakira ihooru, kwage mũndũ o na ũmwe ũngĩmatũũra.
10 Accursed be he that doeth the business of Yahweh carelessly; And, accursed be he that withholdeth his sword, from blood!
“Kũrumwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũkũruta wĩra wa Jehova arĩ na ũgũũta! Kũrumwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũkũgirĩrĩria rũhiũ rwake rwa njora gũita thakame!
11 Moab, hath been at ease from his youth, And settled is he upon his lees, And hath not been poured out from vessel to vessel, Nor into captivity, hath gone, —For this cause, hath his flavour stood still within him, And his scent is unchanged.
“Moabi atũũrĩte agaacĩire kuuma arĩ mwĩthĩ, ta ndibei ĩrĩa ĩĩkeerete, ĩkarika kĩnyita ĩtarĩ nyonoranie; we ndarĩ aatahwo agatwarwo bũrũri ũngĩ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũcamo wake no ta ũrĩa warĩ tene, naguo mũtararĩko wake ndũrĩ wagarũrũka.
12 Therefore, lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, When I will send to him tilters and they shall tilt him, —And his vessels, shall they empty, And their jars, shall they dash in pieces.
No matukũ nĩmarooka, rĩrĩa ngaatũma andũ arĩa monoranagia moke, nao mamuonorerie thĩ; matige ndigithũ ciake irĩ theri, na moragaange nyũngũ ciake,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
13 Then shall Moab, be ashamed, of, Chemosh, —Just as, the sons of Israel, were ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
“Hĩndĩ ĩyo Moabi nĩagaconoka nĩ ũndũ wa ngai ĩrĩa ĩtagwo Kemoshu, o ta ũrĩa nyũmba ya Isiraeli yaconokire, rĩrĩa meehokete Betheli.
14 How can ye say, Heroes, are we? and Men of might for the war?
“Mwakĩhota atĩa kuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ithuĩ tũrĩ njamba irĩ hinya, andũ marĩ ũrũme ita-inĩ’?
15 Spoiled is Moab And her cities, hath he ascended, And the choice of his young men, have gone down to the slaughter, —Declareth The King, Yahweh of hosts, is his Name.
Moabi nĩgũkanangwo na matũũra makuo matharĩkĩrwo; aanake ake arĩa ega mũno magaikũrũka rĩũraganĩro-inĩ makooragwo,” nĩguo Mũthamaki ekuuga, o we ũrĩa wĩtagwo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe.
16 Near is the doom of Moab, to come, —And, his calamity, hasteth greatly.
“Kũgũa kwa Moabi nĩgũkinyu; mũtino wake nĩũgũũka o na ihenya.
17 Lament ye for him—All that are round about him, and All that know his name, —Say, How is broken—The staff of strength! The rod of beauty!
Mũcakaĩrei inyuĩ arĩa othe mũtũũraga mũmũthiũrũrũkĩirie, inyuothe arĩa mũũĩ ngumo yake; ugai atĩrĩ, ‘Kaĩ rũthanju rwa ũnene nĩrunĩkangu-ĩ! Kaĩ mũthĩgi ũrĩa ũrĩ riiri nĩmunangĩku-ĩ!’
18 Come down from glory, and sit in thirst, O inhabitress daughter of Dibon; For the spoiler of Moab, hath come up against thee, He hath laid in ruins thy strongholds.
“Harũrũkai mwehere riiri-inĩ ũcio wanyu, mũikare thĩ kũrĩa kũngʼaru, inyuĩ atũũri a kũu kwa Mwarĩ wa Diboni, nĩgũkorwo ũrĩa ũkaananga Moabi nĩakamũũkĩrĩra, aharaganie matũũra manyu marĩa mairigĩre na hinya.
19 Near the way, take thy stand and keep outlook, O inhabitress of Aroer: Ask—him that fleeth, and Her that hath escaped, Say, What hath happened?
Rũgamai mũkĩra-inĩ wa barabara mwĩrorere, inyuĩ arĩa mũtũũraga Aroeri. Hooyai kĩrĩra harĩ mũndũ ũcio ũrethara, o na harĩ mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio ũroora, mũmoorie atĩrĩ, ‘Kaĩ gwĩkĩkĩte atĩa?’
20 Confounded is Moab! For it is broken down! Howl and make outcry, —Tell ye in Arnon, That Moab is spoiled;
Moabi nĩmũconorithie, nĩ ũndũ nĩmũhehenje. Kayũrũrũkai na mũrĩre! Heanai ũhoro ũcio kũu Arinoni, atĩ Moabi nĩ mwanange.
21 And, judgment, hath come Upon the country of the table-land, —Upon Holon, and Upon Jazer and Upon Mephaath;
Matuĩro ma ciira nĩmakinyĩte bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa mwaraganu: magakinya Holoni, na Jahaza, na Mefaathu,
22 and Upon Dibon, and Upon Nebo, and Upon Beth-diblathaim;
na magakinya Diboni, na Nebo, na Bethi-Dibilathaimu,
23 and Upon Kiriathaim, and Upon Beth-gamul, and Upon Beth-meon;
na magakinya Kiriathaimu, na Bethi-Gamuli, na Bethi-Meoni,
24 and Upon Kerioth, and Upon Bozrah, —Yea, upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near.
na magakinya Keriothu, na Bozara: ĩĩ, nginya matũũra mothe ma Moabi, marĩ kũraya na marĩ gũkuhĩ.
25 Cut off is the horn of Moab, Yea, his arm, is broken, —Declareth Yahweh.
Rũhĩa rwa Moabi nĩrũrengetwo; guoko gwake nĩ kuunĩtwo,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
26 Make ye him drunken, Because against Yahweh, hath he magnified himself; So shall, Moab, stagger, into his own vomit, And shall become a derision, even he!
“Mũheei njoohi anyue arĩĩo, tondũ nĩangʼathĩirie Jehova. Moabi nĩarekwo egaragarie matahĩko-inĩ make; nĩarekwo atuĩke kĩndũ gĩa gũthekererwo.
27 And was it not, a derision, that Israel became to thee? And was it not among thieves, he was found? For, as often as thou didst speak of him, thou didst wag the head!
Githĩ Isiraeli ndatuĩkĩte kĩndũ gĩa gũthekererwo nĩwe? Kaĩ aanyiitirwo arĩ gatagatĩ ka aici, atĩ nĩkĩo ũinagia kĩongo nĩkũmũnyarara, rĩrĩa rĩothe ũkwaria ũhoro wake?
28 Leave ye the cities and dwell in the cliff, Ye inhabitants of Moab; And become ye as a dove, that maketh her nest in the further-side of the fissure’s mouth.
Tiganĩriai matũũra manyu mũgatũũre ndwaro-inĩ cia mahiga, inyuĩ arĩa mũtũũraga Moabi. Tuĩkai ta ndutura ĩrĩa ĩyakagĩra gĩtara mũromo-inĩ wa ngurunga.
29 We have heard the arrogance of Moab—proud exceedingly: His loftiness and his arrogance and his majesty, and his elevation of heart!
“Nĩtũiguĩte ũhoro wa mwĩtĩĩo wa Moabi, ũrĩa aarĩ mwĩĩkĩrĩri na akeyona, tũkaigua ũhoro wa mwĩtĩĩo wake o na mwĩtũũgĩrio, o na tũkaigua ũhoro wa mwĩgaatho wa ngoro yake.
30 I know—Declareth Yahweh His passion—that’tis Unjust! His boastings, that Untrue have they made [them]!
Nĩnjũũĩ rũngʼathio rwake, no nĩ rwa tũhũ, naguo mwĩraho wake ndũrĩ ũndũ ũhingĩtie,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
31 For this cause over Moab, will I howl, And for all Moab, will I make outcry, —For the men of Kir-heres, must one moan!
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩndĩrarĩrĩra Moabi, nĩ Moabi guothe ndĩrarĩrĩra, ndĩracakaĩra andũ a Kiri-Haresethi.
32 Beyond the weeping of Jazer, will I weep for thee O vine of Sibmah, Thy tendrils, have gone over the sea, Unto the sea of Jazer, have they reached, Upon thy summer fruits And upon thy vintage, the spoiler, hath fallen.
Ndĩrarĩra nĩ ũndũ wanyu, o ta ũrĩa Jazeri arĩraga, inyuĩ mĩthabibũ ya Sibima. Honge cianyu itambũrũkĩte igakinya iria-inĩ; itambũrũkĩte nginya iria-inĩ rĩa Jazeri. Mũniinani nĩagũĩrĩire matunda maku marĩa meeru, o na akagwĩra thabibũ.
33 So shall be withdrawn gladness and exultation—From the fruitful field and From the land of Moab, —And wine from the vats, have I caused to fail, They shall not tread with shouting, The shouting shall be no shouting!
Gĩkeno na gũcanjamũka nĩithirĩte kũu mĩgũnda-inĩ ya matunda, o na kũu mĩgũnda-inĩ ya Moabi. Nĩndũmĩte ndibei yage ihihĩro-inĩ ciayo; gũtirĩ mũndũ ũhihaga thabibũ kuo arĩ na mbugĩrĩrio ya gĩkeno. O na gũtuĩka nĩ kũrĩ na mbugĩrĩrio, ti mbugĩrĩrio cia gĩkeno.
34 From the outcry of Heshbon, Even unto Elealeh Even unto Jahaz, have they given forth their voice, From Zoar even unto Horonaim, the third Eglath, —For, even the waters of Nimrim, to utter desolation, have been turned:
“Mĩgambo ya kĩrĩro kĩao ĩraiguuo kuuma Heshiboni o nginya Eleale na Jahazu, na kuuma Zoari o nginya Horonaimu na Egilathu-Shelishiya, tondũ o na maaĩ ma Nimurimu nĩmahũĩte.
35 Then will I cause to cease, from Moab, Declareth Yahweh, —him that offereth at a high-place, and him that burneth incense to his gods.
Kũu Moabi nĩnganiina arĩa othe marutagĩra maruta kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, na magacinĩra ngai ciao ũbumba,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
36 For this cause, my heart, for Moab, like flutes, shall make plaintive sounds, Yea my heart for the men of Kir-heres! like flutes, shall make plaintive sounds, Because, the abundance he hath gotten is lost!
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngoro yakwa nĩĩracakaĩra Moabi, nganĩrĩra o ta mũtũrirũ; ĩracakaya yanĩrĩire ta mũtũrirũ nĩ ũndũ wa andũ a Kiri-Haresethi, tondũ ũtonga ũrĩa megĩrĩire nĩmũthiru biũ.
37 For, every head, is baldness, And every beard, clipped: Upon all hands, are gashes, And upon the loins, sackcloth
Mĩtwe yothe nĩmĩenje na nderu ciothe cikenjwo; guoko guothe nĩgũteme, na njohero o yothe ĩhumbĩtwo na nguo ya ikũnia.
38 Upon all the housetops of Moab And in her broadways, it is all lamentation, —For I have broken Moab—Like a vessel wherein is no pleasure Declareth Yahweh.
Nyũmba-igũrũ guothe kũu Moabi, o na kũu iwanja-inĩ cia mũingĩ, gũtirĩ ũndũ ũngĩ tiga o gũcakaya, nĩgũkorwo nĩnjũragĩte Moabi o ta ndigithũ ya rĩũmba ĩrĩa ĩtangĩendeka nĩ mũndũ,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
39 How it is broken down! They have howled, How hath Moab turned the back, for shame, —So shall Moab become a derision and a terror to all round about him.
“Hĩ! Kaĩ nĩkũmomore-ĩ! Kaĩ nĩmararĩra-ĩ! Kaĩ Moabi nĩahũndũkĩte na thuutha nĩ thoni-ĩ! Moabi atuĩkĩte kĩndũ gĩa gũthekererwo, na agatuĩka kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi harĩ arĩa othe mamũrigiicĩirie.”
40 For, thus, saith Yahweh, Lo! as an eagle, shall one dart along, —And shall spread out his wings towards Moab.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Atĩrĩrĩ! Nderi nĩĩracuuhũka, ĩtambũrũkĩtie mathagu mayo igũrũ rĩa Moabi.
41 Captured is Kerioth, And the fortresses, are seized, —Then shall the heart of the heroes of Moab become in that day, As the heart of a woman in her pains.
Keriothu nĩgũgũtunyanwo, nacio ciĩhitho iria cia hinya kuo itahwo. Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, ngoro cia njamba iria irĩ hinya cia Moabi igaatuĩka ta ngoro ya mũndũ-wa-nja akĩrũmwo.
42 Then shall, Moab, be destroyed from being a people, —Because against Yahweh, hath he magnified himself.
Moabi nĩakaniinwo atige gũtuĩka rũrĩrĩ rĩngĩ, tondũ nĩangʼathĩirie Jehova.
43 Terror and pit and snare are upon thee O inhabitant of Moab Declareth Yahweh:
Inyuĩ andũ a Moabi, guoya, na kũgũa marima, o na kũgwatio na mĩtego nĩcio imwetereire,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
44 He that fleeth from the face of the terror, Shall fall into the pit, And, he that getteth up out of the pit, Shall be captured by the snare, —For I will bring against her—against Moab, The year of their visitation, Declareth Yahweh.
“Ũrĩa wothe ũkoora nĩ ũndũ wa guoya, ũcio akaagũa irima, nake ũrĩa ũkaahaica oime irima-rĩ, akaagwatio nĩ mũtego; nĩ ũndũ nĩngũtũma Moabi akinyĩrwo nĩ mwaka wa kũherithio,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
45 In the shadow of Heshbon, stand strengthless, the fugitives, —For, a fire, hath gone forth out of Heshbon And shall flame out of the midst of Sihon, And shall devour the beard of Moab, And the crown of the head of the proudly tumultuous.
“Andũ arĩa metharĩte makoorĩra ciĩruru-inĩ cia Heshiboni matirĩ na ũteithio, nĩgũkorwo mwaki nĩumĩte Heshiboni, rũrĩrĩmbĩ rũkoima gatagatĩ ka Sihoni; rũracina mothiũ ma Moabi, na rũgacina ciongo cia acio merahaga makarehe ngũĩ.
46 Woe to thee Moab! Lost are the people of Chemosh, —For thy sons have been taken, into captivity, And thy daughters into captivity.
Wee Moabi, kaĩ ũrĩ na haaro-ĩ! Andũ a Kemoshu nĩaniine; aanake aku manyiitĩtwo mĩgwate magathaamio nao airĩtu aku magatahwo.
47 Yet will I bring back the captivity of Moab, In the afterpart of the days, Declareth Yahweh, Thus far, is the sentence of Moab.
“No rĩrĩ, nĩngacookia ũgaacĩru wa Moabi matukũ-inĩ marĩa magooka,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. Hau nĩho mũthia wa ituĩro rĩa Moabi.
