Jeremiah 11
1 The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying:
Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa yakinyĩrĩire Jeremia yumĩte harĩ Jehova:
2 'Hear ye the words of this covenant, and ye have spoken unto the men of Judah, and unto the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
“Ta thikĩrĩria mohoro ma kĩrĩkanĩro gĩkĩ, ũcooke ũhe andũ a Juda o na andũ arĩa matũũraga Jerusalemu ũhoro wamo.
3 and thou hast said unto them, Thus said Jehovah God of Israel: Cursed [is] the man who doth not obey the words of this covenant,
Meere atĩrĩ, ũũ nĩguo Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli ekuuga: ‘Atĩrĩrĩ, kũgwatwo nĩ kĩrumi, nĩ mũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ũtaathĩkagĩra mohoro marĩa marĩ kĩrĩkanĩro-inĩ gĩkĩ;
4 That I commanded your fathers, In the day of My bringing them out from the land of Egypt, Out of the iron furnace, saying, Hearken to My voice, and ye have done them, According to all that I command you, And ye have been to Me for a people, And I am to you for God,
namo nĩ mohoro marĩa ndaathire maithe manyu rĩrĩa ndaamarutire bũrũri wa Misiri, ngĩmaruta kũu icua-inĩ rĩa gũtwekia igera.’ Ngĩmeera atĩrĩ, ‘Njathĩkagĩrai na mũhingagie maũndũ marĩa mothe ndĩmwathĩte, na inyuĩ nĩmũgũtuĩka andũ akwa, na niĩ nduĩke Ngai wanyu.
5 In order to establish the oath that I have sworn to your fathers, To give to them a land flowing with milk and honey, as this day. And I answer and say, 'Amen, O Jehovah.'
Hĩndĩ ĩyo, niĩ na Niĩ nĩngahingia mwĩhĩtwa ũrĩa ndehĩtĩire maithe manyu, atĩ nĩngamahe bũrũri ũrĩ bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ,’ na nĩguo bũrũri ũyũ mwĩgwatĩire ũmũthĩ.” Na niĩ ngĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Kũrotuĩka ũguo, Jehova.”
6 And Jehovah saith unto me, 'Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying: Hear ye the words of this covenant, And ye have done them.
Jehova aanjĩĩrire atĩrĩ, “Hunjanĩriai mohoro macio mothe matũũra-inĩ ma Juda o na kũu barabara-inĩ cia Jerusalemu, ũmeere atĩrĩ: ‘Thikĩrĩriai mohoro ma kĩrĩkanĩro gĩkĩ na mũmarũmagĩrĩre.
7 For I certainly testified against your fathers, In the day of My bringing them up out of the land of Egypt — till this day, Rising early and testifying, saying, Hearken to My voice,
Kuuma hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndaarutire maithe manyu kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, nginya ũmũthĩ, ndũũrĩte ndĩmakaanagia o hĩndĩ o hĩndĩ, ngameera atĩrĩ, “Njathĩkagĩrai.”
8 And they have not hearkened nor inclined their ear, And they walk each in the stubbornness of their evil heart, And I bring on them all the words of this covenant, That I commanded to do, and they did not.'
No matiigana kũnjigua kana kũrũmbũiya ũhoro ũcio; handũ ha gwĩka ũguo, o maarũmĩrĩire ũremi wa ngoro ciao thũku. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio na niĩ ngĩmarehithĩria irumi ciothe cia kĩrĩkanĩro kĩu ndaamaathĩte marũmagĩrĩre no-o makĩaga gũkĩhingia.’”
9 And Jehovah saith unto me: 'A conspiracy is found in the men of Judah, And in the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ harĩ ndundu ya njũkanĩrĩro ĩthugundĩtwo thĩinĩ wa andũ a Juda, o na thĩinĩ wa andũ arĩa matũũraga Jerusalemu.
10 They have turned back to the iniquities of their first fathers, Who refused to hear My words, And they have gone after other gods to serve them, The house of Israel, and the house of Judah, Have made void My covenant, that I made with their fathers.
Nĩmacookereire mehia ma maithe mao ma tene, arĩa maaregire kũigua ndeto ciakwa. Nĩmarũmĩrĩire ngai ingĩ nĩgeetha macitungatĩre. Nyũmba cierĩ, ya Isiraeli na ya Juda, nĩithũkĩtie kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ndaarĩkanĩire na maithe mao ma tene.
11 Therefore thus said Jehovah: Lo, I am bringing in unto them evil, That they are not able to go out from, And they have cried unto Me, And I do not hearken unto them.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Nĩngũmarehithĩria mwanangĩko matangĩhota kũũrĩra. O na mangĩkaangaĩra, ndikamathikĩrĩria.
12 And the cities of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem have gone, And they have cried unto the gods, To whom they are making perfume, And they give no deliverance at all to them, In the time of their vexation.
Andũ a matũũra ma Juda na arĩa matũũraga Jerusalemu nĩmagathiĩ gũkaĩra ngai icio macinagĩra ũbumba, no itikamateithia o na hanini hĩndĩ ĩrĩa magaakorwo nĩ mwanangĩko.
13 For — the number of thy cities have been thy gods, O Judah, And — the number of the streets of Jerusalem Ye have placed altars to a shameful thing, Altars to make perfume to Baal.
Wee Juda-rĩ, ũrĩ na ngai nyingĩ o ta ũrĩa matũũra maku maigana, na igongona iria ũhaandĩte cia gũcinĩra ngai ĩyo ya thoni ĩtagwo Baali ũbumba nĩ nyingĩ o ta barabara cia Jerusalemu.’
14 And thou, thou dost not pray for this people, Nor dost thou lift up for them cry and prayer, For I do not hearken in the time of their calling unto Me for their vexation.
“Tiga kũhoera andũ aya, kana ũmathaithanĩrĩre, o na kana ũmaarĩrĩrie, tondũ ndikamathikĩrĩria hĩndĩ ĩrĩa makaangaĩra marĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ.
15 What — to My beloved in My house, Her doing wickedness with many, And the holy flesh do pass over from thee? When thou dost evil, then thou exultest.
“Mwendwa wakwa nĩ atĩa areka thĩinĩ wa hekarũ yakwa, o agĩthugundaga maũndũ mooru na andũ aingĩ? Anga nyama iria nyamũre cia kĩgongona-inĩ ciahota kũgirĩrĩria iherithia rĩaku? Amu ũgĩkenaga rĩrĩa ũgwĩka maũndũ maku ma waganu.”
16 'An olive, green, fair, of goodly fruit,' Hath Jehovah called thy name, At the noise of a great tumult He hath kindled fire against it, And broken have been its thin branches.
Jehova, akũheete rĩĩtwa atĩrĩ: Mũtamaiyũ mũruru mwega ũrĩ na maciaro mathaka makĩoneka. No rĩrĩ, nĩekũũgwatia mwaki, aũcine na mũrurumo wa kĩhuhũkanio kĩnene, nacio honge ciaguo ciunĩkange.
17 And Jehovah of Hosts, who is planting thee, Hath spoken evil concerning thee, For the evil of the house of Israel, and of the house of Judah, That they have done to themselves, To provoke Me to anger, to make perfume to Baal.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o ũcio wakũhaandire wee, nĩwe ũgũtuĩrĩire ũkorwo nĩ mwanangĩko, tondũ rĩrĩ, andũ a nyũmba ya Isiraeli na andũ a nyũmba ya Juda nĩmekĩte maũndũ mooru, makaandakaria nĩ ũndũ wa gũcinĩra Baali ũbumba.
18 And, O Jehovah, cause me to know, and I know, Then Thou hast showed me their doings.
Nĩndamenyire ndundu yao njũru nĩ ũndũ Jehova nĩanguũrĩirie, nĩgũkorwo o ihinda rĩu nĩanyonirie ũrĩa meekaga.
19 And I [am] as a trained lamb brought to slaughter, And I have not known That against me they have devised devices: We destroy the tree with its food, and cut him off From the land of the living, And his name is not remembered again.
Niĩ ndatariĩ ta gatũrũme kahooreri koimagarĩtio gagathĩnjwo; ndiamenyaga atĩ nĩmathugundĩte kũnjĩka ũũru, makiugaga atĩrĩ, “Nĩtwanangei mũtĩ ũyũ na maciaro maguo; nĩtũmũniinei oime bũrũri-inĩ wa arĩa marĩ muoyo, nĩgeetha rĩĩtwa rĩake rĩtikanacooke kũririkanwo o rĩ, o rĩ.”
20 And O Jehovah of Hosts, judging righteousness, Trying reins and heart, I do see Thy vengeance against them, For unto Thee I have revealed my cause.'
No rĩrĩ, Wee Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o wee ũtuaga ciira na kĩhooto na ũkoiruuria maũndũ ma ngoro na ma meciiria-rĩ, reke ndĩĩonere wee mwene ũkĩndĩhĩria harĩ andũ aya, nĩgũkorwo wee nĩwe ndekereirie maũndũ makwa mothe.
21 Therefore, thus said Jehovah concerning the men of Anathoth, who are seeking thy life, saying: Do not prophesy in the name of Jehovah, And thou dost not die by our hands.
“Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga ũhoro-inĩ ũkoniĩ andũ a Anathothu, acio marenda gũkũruta muoyo, makoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Tiga gũcooka kũratha mohoro ũkĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, nĩgeetha tũtigakũũrage na moko maitũ’;
22 Therefore, thus said Jehovah of Hosts: 'Lo, I am seeing after them, The chosen ones die by sword, Their sons and their daughters die by famine,
nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Nĩngamaherithia. Aanake ao makooragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora, nao ariũ ao na aarĩ ao mooragwo nĩ ngʼaragu.
23 And they have no remnant, For I bring evil unto the men of Anathoth, The year of their inspection!'
Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wao ũgaatigara, tondũ nĩngarehithĩria andũ a Anathothu mwanangĩko mwaka-inĩ ũrĩa makaaherithio.’”
