Jeremiah 43
1 When Jeremiah had finished speaking to all the people all the words of the LORD their God, with which the LORD their God had sent him to them, even all these words,
Rĩrĩa Jeremia aarĩkirie kũhe andũ acio ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova Ngai wao, ũhoro ũrĩa wothe Jehova aamũtũmĩte akameere-rĩ,
2 then Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men spoke, saying to Jeremiah, “You speak falsely. The LORD our God has not sent you to say, ‘You shall not go into Egypt to live there;’
Azaria mũrũ wa Hoshaia, na Johanani mũrũ wa Karea, marĩ hamwe na andũ othe arĩa etĩĩi, makĩĩra Jeremia atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩũraheenania! Jehova Ngai witũ ndagũtũmĩte ũũke ũtwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Mũtikanathiĩ bũrũri wa Misiri gũtũũra kuo.’
3 but Baruch the son of Neriah has turned you against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death or carry us away captive to Babylon.”
No rĩrĩ, Baruku mũrũ wa Neria nĩwe ũkũringĩrĩirie ũtũũkĩrĩre, nĩguo tũneanwo kũrĩ andũ a Babuloni, nĩguo matũũrage, kana matũtahe, matũtware Babuloni.”
4 So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, didn’t obey the LORD’s voice, to dwell in the land of Judah.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Johanani mũrũ wa Karea marĩ hamwe na anene othe a mbũtũ cia ita, o na andũ othe, makĩrega gwathĩkĩra watho wa Jehova wa gũikara kũu bũrũri wa Juda.
5 But Johanan the son of Kareah and all the captains of the forces took all the remnant of Judah, who had returned from all the nations where they had been driven, to live in the land of Judah—
Handũ ha ũguo, Johanani mũrũ wa Karea hamwe na anene othe a mbũtũ cia ita magĩtongoria matigari mothe ma andũ a Juda, o acio macookete nĩguo maikare kũu bũrũri wa Juda moimĩte ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ ciothe kũrĩa mahurunjĩtwo.
6 the men, the women, the children, the king’s daughters, and every person who Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan; and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah.
Ningĩ magĩtongoria arũme othe, na andũ-a-nja na ciana, o na airĩtu a mũthamaki acio Nebuzaradani mũnene wa arangĩri a mũthamaki aatigĩire Gedalia mũrũ wa Ahikamu, mũrũ wa Shafani, o na magĩtongoria Jeremia ũcio mũnabii, na Baruku mũrũ wa Neria.
7 They came into the land of Egypt, for they didn’t obey the LORD’s voice; and they came to Tahpanhes.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩthiĩ bũrũri wa Misiri, makĩremera Jehova, na magĩthiĩ o nginya Tahapanahesi.
8 Then the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
Na marĩ kũu Tahapanahesi, ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩgĩkinyĩra Jeremia, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
9 “Take great stones in your hand and hide them in mortar in the brick work which is at the entry of Pharaoh’s house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah.
“Oya mahiga manene na guoko gwaku, Ayahudi makwĩroreire, ũthiĩ ũmathike na rĩũmba hau nja haarĩtwo maturubarĩ itoonyero-inĩ rĩa nyũmba ya Firaũni kũu Tahapanahesi.
10 Tell them, the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne on these stones that I have hidden; and he will spread his royal pavilion over them.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga: Nĩngũtũmanĩra ndungata yakwa Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni, na nĩngahaanda gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũthamaki igũrũ rĩa mahiga maya ndathika haha; nĩakamba hema yake ya ũnene igũrũ rĩamo.
11 He will come, and will strike the land of Egypt; such as are for death will be put to death, and such as are for captivity to captivity, and such as are for the sword to the sword.
Nĩagooka atharĩkĩre bũrũri wa Misiri, oragithie andũ arĩa maathĩrĩirio gũkua, na atũme arĩa maathĩrĩirio gũtahwo matahwo, nao arĩa maathĩrĩirio kũũragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora mooragwo naruo.
12 I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt. He will burn them, and carry them away captive. He will array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd puts on his garment; and he will go out from there in peace.
Nĩagacina hekarũ cia ngai cia Misiri; agaacina hekarũ ciao na atahe ngai ciao. O ta ũrĩa mũrĩithi ehumbaga nguo yake, noguo akehumba bũrũri wa Misiri, acooke oime kuo atarĩ mũhutie.
13 He will also break the pillars of Beth Shemesh that is in the land of Egypt; and he will burn the houses of the gods of Egypt with fire.’”
Nĩakoinanga itugĩ iria ihooyagwo, iria irĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya riũa kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, na acooke acine hekarũ cia ngai cia bũrũri wa Misiri ithire.’”
