Jeremiah 32
1 This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa yakinyĩrĩire Jeremia yumĩte kũrĩ Jehova mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi wa wathani wa Zedekia mũthamaki wa Juda, na nĩguo warĩ mwaka wa ikũmi na ĩnana wa wathani wa Nebukadinezaru.
2 Now at that time the king of Babylon’s army was besieging Jerusalem. Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, which was in the king of Judah’s house.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo mbũtũ cia ita cia mũthamaki wa Babuloni nĩciarigiicĩirie Jerusalemu irĩtunyane, nake Jeremia ũrĩa mũnabii aahingĩrĩtwo kũu nja ya arangĩri thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya mũthamaki wa Juda.
3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, “Why do you prophesy, and say, ‘The LORD says, “Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he will take it;
Nĩgũkorwo Zedekia mũthamaki wa Juda nĩamuohithĩtie kũu, akoiga atĩrĩ, “Ũtũrathagĩra ũguo nĩkĩ? uugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Ndĩ hakuhĩ kũneana itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Babuloni, nake nĩakarĩĩnyitĩra.
4 and Zedekiah king of Judah won’t escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but will surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and will speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes will see his eyes;
Zedekia mũthamaki wa Juda ndakehonokia kuuma moko-inĩ ma andũ a Babuloni, nowe no nginya akaaneanwo kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Babuloni, na nĩakaranĩria nake ũthiũ kwa ũthiũ, na nĩakamuona na maitho make mwene.
5 and he will bring Zedekiah to Babylon, and he will be there until I visit him,” says the LORD, “though you fight with the Chaldeans, you will not prosper”’?”
Nĩagatwara Zedekia kũu Babuloni, kũrĩa agaaikara nginya njĩke nake ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. O na mũngĩrũa na andũ a Babuloni, mũtikamahoota.’”
6 Jeremiah said, “The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Nake Jeremia akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyanginyĩrire ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
7 ‘Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle will come to you, saying, “Buy my field that is in Anathoth; for the right of redemption is yours to buy it.”’”
Hanameli mũrũ wa Shalumu, ũrĩa mamaguo, nĩegũũka kũrĩ we, akwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Wĩgũrĩre mũgũnda wakwa ũrĩa ũrĩ Anathothu, nĩ ũndũ wee nĩwe mũndũ wa ndĩra ciitũ wa hakuhĩ makĩria, na nĩwe ũrĩ na kĩhooto gĩa kũũgũra.’
8 “So Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the guard according to the LORD’s word, and said to me, ‘Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption is yours. Buy it for yourself.’ “Then I knew that this was the LORD’s word.
“Hĩndĩ ĩyo, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aakoretwo anjĩĩra-rĩ, Hanameli mũrũ wa mama agĩũka kũrĩ niĩ kũu nja ĩrĩa ĩikaragio nĩ arangĩri, akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Wĩgũrĩre mũgũnda wakwa ũrĩa ũrĩ Anathothu, bũrũri-inĩ wa Benjamini. Nĩgũkorwo wee nĩwe ũrĩ na kĩhooto gĩa kũũkũũra ũtuĩke waku, wĩgũrĩre ũtuĩke waku.’ “Hĩndĩ ĩyo ngĩmenya ndũmĩrĩri ĩyo yoimĩte kũrĩ Jehova;
9 I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.
nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩkĩgũra mũgũnda ũcio warĩ Anathothu kuuma kũrĩ Hanameli mũrũ wa mama, na ngĩmũthimĩra cekeri ikũmi na mũgwanja cia betha.
10 I signed the deed, sealed it, called witnesses, and weighed the money in the balances to him.
Ngĩcooka ngĩĩkĩra kĩrore na ngĩcinĩrĩra mũhũũri wakwa marũa-inĩ macio ma kuonania nũũ mwene gĩthaka, ningĩ ngĩkorwo ndĩ na aira a ũhoro ũcio, nayo betha ĩgĩthimwo na ratiri.
11 So I took the deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, containing the terms and conditions, and that which was open;
Ngĩoya kobi ĩmwe ya marũa macio ma kuonania nũũ mwene gĩthaka, ĩcinĩrĩirwo mũhũũri wakwa na ĩkandĩkwo maũndũ ma ũrĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩu gĩatariĩ, hamwe na kobi ya marũa macio mataarĩ macinĩrĩre mũhũũri,
12 and I delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my uncle’s son, and in the presence of the witnesses who signed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the guard.
ngĩcineana kũrĩ Baruku mũrũ wa Neria, mũrũ wa Maaseia, mbere ya Hanameli mũrũ wa mama, na mbere ya aira arĩa meekĩrĩte kĩrore marũa-inĩ macio ma ũgũri wa gĩthaka, o na Ayahudi othe arĩa maikarĩte hau nja ĩrĩa ĩikaragio nĩ arangĩri.
13 “I commanded Baruch before them, saying,
“O marĩ hau-rĩ, nĩndataarĩirie Baruku, ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
14 the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase which is sealed, and this deed which is open, and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may last many days.’
‘Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ: Oya marũa maya ma kĩrĩĩko gĩa kuonania nũũ mwene gĩthaka, kobi ĩyo njĩkĩrĩte mũhũũri wakwa, na ĩyo ĩngĩ ĩtarĩ mũhũũri, ũthiĩ ũmekĩre thĩinĩ wa ndigithũ ya rĩũmba nĩgeetha matũũre hĩndĩ ndaaya.
15 For the LORD of Armies, the God of Israel says: ‘Houses and fields and vineyards will yet again be bought in this land.’
Nĩgũkorwo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ: Nyũmba, na mĩgũnda, na mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ ciothe nĩigacooka kũgũrwo gũkũ bũrũri-inĩ ũyũ.’
16 Now after I had delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to the LORD, saying,
“Na rĩrĩ, ndaarĩkia kũnengera Baruku wa Neria marũa macio ma kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa kuonania nũũ mwene gĩthaka, ngĩhooya Jehova ngiuga ũũ:
17 “Ah Lord GOD! Behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for you.
“Atĩrĩrĩ, wee Mwathani Jehova, we nĩwe wombire igũrũ na thĩ na ũndũ wa hinya waku mũnene, o na ũndũ wa gũtambũrũkia guoko gwaku. Wee-rĩ, gũtirĩ ũndũ mũritũ harĩwe.
18 You show loving kindness to thousands, and repay the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them. The great, the mighty God, the LORD of Armies is your name:
Wee wonanagia wendani waku kũrĩ andũ ngiri na ngiri, no ũkaherithania nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma maithe, ũkaũkinyĩria ciero-inĩ cia njiarwa ciao iria igooka thuutha wao. Wee Mũrungu mũnene na ũrĩ hinya, o wee rĩĩtwa rĩaku arĩ Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe,
19 great in counsel, and mighty in work; whose eyes are open to all the ways of the children of men, to give everyone according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings;
wee nowe mũnene wa ũheani kĩrĩra, na ciĩko ciaku nĩ cia hinya. Maitho maku maikaraga macũthĩrĩirie mĩthiĩre yothe ya andũ; wee ũrĩhaga mũndũ o wothe kũringana na mĩthiĩre yake, ningĩ kũringana na ũrĩa ciĩko ciake itariĩ.
20 who performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even to this day, both in Israel and among other men; and made yourself a name, as it is today;
Wee nĩwe waringire ciama o na ũkĩonania morirũ kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, na no wĩkaga ũguo nginya ũmũthĩ, gũkũ Isiraeli o na gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ arĩa angĩ othe, namo magatũma wĩgĩĩre igweta rĩrĩa rĩrĩ rĩaku.
21 and brought your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, with wonders, with a strong hand, with an outstretched arm, and with great terror;
Warutire andũ aku a Isiraeli kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri na ũndũ wa kũringa ciama na kuonania morirũ, na ũndũ wa guoko gwaku kũrĩ hinya, ũgũtambũrũkĩtie, o na ũgĩĩka maũndũ manene ma kũguoyohia.
22 and gave them this land, which you swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Nĩwamaheire bũrũri ũyũ werĩire maithe mao na mwĩhĩtwa atĩ nĩũkamahe, bũrũri ũrĩ bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ.
23 They came in and possessed it, but they didn’t obey your voice and didn’t walk in your law. They have done nothing of all that you commanded them to do. Therefore you have caused all this evil to come upon them.
Maatoonyire bũrũri ũcio makĩwĩgwatĩra ũgĩtuĩka wao, no rĩrĩ, matiigana gũgwathĩkĩra kana kũrũmĩrĩra mawatho maku; matiekire maũndũ marĩa wamaathĩte meke. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ũkĩmarehithĩria mwanangĩko ũyũ ũmakorete.
24 “Behold, siege ramps have been built against the city to take it. The city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans who fight against it, because of the sword, of the famine, and of the pestilence. What you have spoken has happened. Behold, you see it.
“Atĩrĩrĩ, ta rora wone ũrĩa gwakĩtwo ihumbu cia kũrigiicĩria itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene nĩgeetha marĩtunyane nĩ ũndũ wa mbaara ya rũhiũ rwa njora, na ngʼaragu, na mũthiro, itũũra rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩkũneanwo kũrĩ andũ a Babuloni acio mararĩtharĩkĩra. Ũndũ ũrĩa wee woigire nĩũhingĩte, o ta ũrĩa we ũreyonera.
25 You have said to me, Lord GOD, ‘Buy the field for money, and call witnesses;’ whereas the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.”
O na gũtuĩka itũũra nĩrĩkũneanwo kũrĩ andũ a Babuloni, wee, o wee Mwathani Jehova, ũnjĩĩrĩte atĩrĩ, ‘Wĩgũrĩre mũgũnda na betha, naguo ũgũri ũcio wa mũgũnda ũcio ũgĩe na aira.’”
26 Then the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
Ningĩ ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩgĩkinyĩra Jeremia, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
27 “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for me?
“Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, Ngai wa andũ othe. Nĩ harĩ ũndũ o na ũmwe mũritũ harĩ niĩ?
28 Therefore the LORD says: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he will take it.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Ndĩ hakuhĩ kũneana itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene kũrĩ andũ a Babuloni, ndĩrĩneane kũrĩ Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni, arĩtunyane.
29 The Chaldeans, who fight against this city, will come and set this city on fire, and burn it with the houses on whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke me to anger.
Andũ acio a Babuloni maraatharĩkĩra itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene nĩmagatoonya kuo na marĩmundie mwaki; nĩ makaarĩcina rĩthire, hamwe na nyũmba iria andũ maacinagĩra Baali ũbumba igũrũ rĩacio, o na magaitagĩra ngai ingĩ indo cia kũnyuuo nĩguo maathirĩkie ndaakare.
30 “For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done only that which was evil in my sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, says the LORD.
“Andũ a Isiraeli na a Juda mekaga o maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ makwa kuuma ũnini-inĩ wao; ti-itherũ, andũ a Isiraeli matirĩ ũndũ mekaga tiga gũũthirĩkia maathirĩkagia nĩguo ndaakare na indo iria methondekeire na moko mao, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
31 For this city has been to me a provocation of my anger and of my wrath from the day that they built it even to this day, so that I should remove it from before my face,
Kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa itũũra rĩĩrĩ rĩakirwo nginya ũmũthĩ, itũũra rĩĩrĩ rĩtũũrĩte rĩarahũraga marakara makwa na mangʼũrĩ, na nĩkĩo no nginya ndĩrĩeherie maitho-inĩ makwa.
32 because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger—they, their kings, their princes, their priests, their prophets, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Andũ a Isiraeli na a Juda nĩmathirĩkĩtie nĩguo ndakare na maũndũ mothe ma waganu marĩa meekĩte: o, na athamaki, na anene ao, na athĩnjĩri-Ngai na anabii ao, na andũ a Juda na andũ a Jerusalemu.
33 They have turned their backs to me, and not their faces. Although I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not listened to receive instruction.
Nĩmahutatĩire makaaga kũhũgũra mothiũ mao kũrĩ niĩ; o na gũtuĩka nĩndamarutire kaingĩ kaingĩ, matiathikĩrĩirie kana magĩtĩkĩra gũtaarwo.
34 But they set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to defile it.
No maigire mĩhianano ĩyo yao ĩrĩ magigi thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ĩrĩa ĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, makĩmĩthaahia.
35 They built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through fire to Molech, which I didn’t command them. It didn’t even come into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.”
Ningĩ nĩmakĩire Baali mahooero kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, kũu Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Beni-Hinomu, nĩguo marutagĩre Moleku ariũ ao na airĩtu ao marĩ magongona, o na gũtuĩka niĩ ndiathanĩte ũndũ ũcio wĩkagwo, o na kana ũgĩtoonya meciiria-inĩ makwa, atĩ hihi no meeke ũndũ mũũru na ũrĩ magigi ta ũcio, wa gũtũma andũ a Juda mehie.
36 Now therefore the LORD, the God of Israel, says concerning this city, about which you say, “It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence:”
“Ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene, mũroiga atĩrĩ, ‘na ũndũ wa mbaara ya rũhiũ rwa njora, na ngʼaragu, na mũthiro nĩrĩkaneanwo kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Babuloni’; no rĩrĩ, ũũ nĩguo Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli ekuuga:
37 “Behold, I will gather them out of all the countries where I have driven them in my anger, and in my wrath, and in great indignation; and I will bring them again to this place. I will cause them to dwell safely.
Ti-itherũ nĩngamacookanĩrĩria kuuma mabũrũri-inĩ marĩa ndaamathaamĩirie ndĩ na marakara mahiũ na mangʼũrĩ maingĩ; ngaamacookia kũndũ gũkũ na ndũme matũũre marĩ agitĩre.
38 Then they will be my people, and I will be their God.
Nĩmagatuĩka andũ akwa na niĩ nduĩke Ngai wao.
39 I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear me forever, for their good and the good of their children after them.
Nĩngatũma o magĩe na ũrũmwe wa ngoro o na mĩthiĩre-inĩ yao, nĩgeetha matũũre manjĩtigĩrĩte nĩgeetha matũũre moonaga wega o ene na ciana ciao iria igooka thuutha wao.
40 I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from following them, to do them good. I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may not depart from me.
Nĩngarĩĩkanĩra nao kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa gũtũũra nginya tene na tene: Ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaatiga kũmeka wega, na nĩngatũma manjĩtigagĩre, nĩguo matikanae kũũhutatĩra.
41 Yes, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.”
Nĩngakenaga ngĩmeeka wega, na ti-itherũ nĩngamahaanda gũkũ bũrũri ũyũ ngwatĩirie na ngoro yakwa yothe o na muoyo wakwa wothe.
42 For the LORD says: “Just as I have brought all this great evil on this people, so I will bring on them all the good that I have promised them.
“Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: O ta ũrĩa ndaarehithĩirie andũ aya mathĩĩna manene, ũguo noguo ngaamahe ũgaacĩru ũrĩa wothe ndĩmerĩire.
43 Fields will be bought in this land, about which you say, ‘It is desolate, without man or animal. It is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.’
O rĩngĩ nĩgũkagũrwo mĩgũnda bũrũri-inĩ ũyũ, o ũyũ inyuĩ mugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Ũyũ nĩ bũrũri mũkiru ihooru, ũtarĩ na andũ kana nyamũ, nĩgũkorwo nĩwaneanirwo kũrĩ andũ a Babuloni.’
44 Men will buy fields for money, sign the deeds, seal them, and call witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the places around Jerusalem, in the cities of Judah, in the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the South; for I will cause their captivity to be reversed,” says the LORD.
Mĩgũnda ĩkaagũragwo na betha, namo marũa ma ũgũri nĩmakandĩkanĩrwo na mekĩrwo kĩrore na macinĩrĩrwo mũhũũri aira marĩ ho, kũu bũrũri wa Benjamini, na tũtũũra-inĩ tũrĩa tũriganĩtie na Jerusalemu, na matũũra ma Juda, na matũũra ma bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma na matũũra marĩa marĩ magũrũ-inĩ ma irĩma cia mwena wa ithũĩro, o na ma Negevu, nĩ tondũ nĩngamacookeria ũgaacĩru wao, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.”
