< Gũcookerithia 32 >
1 Ta thikĩrĩria, wee igũrũ, ngũhe ũhoro; o na we thĩ-rĩ, ta igua ciugo cia kanua gakwa.
Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak; hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
2 Reke ũrutani wakwa uure ta mbura, nacio ciugo ciakwa igwe ta ime, ituĩke ta rũthuthuũ rũkiurĩra nyeki ya mũmerano, o na ĩtuĩke ta mbura nyingĩ ĩkiurĩra mĩmera mĩĩthĩ.
Let my teaching fall like rain and my speech settle like dew, like gentle rain on new grass, like showers on tender plants.
3 Nĩngũhunjia ũhoro wa Rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova. Hĩ, kĩgoocei ũnene wa Ngai witũ!
For I will proclaim the name of the LORD. Ascribe greatness to our God!
4 We nĩwe Rwaro rwa Ihiga, mawĩra make nĩ makinyanĩru, nacio njĩra ciake ciothe nĩ cia kĩhooto. Nĩ Ngai mwĩhokeku na ndahĩtagia, nĩ mũrũngĩrĩru, na nĩ wa kĩhooto.
He is the Rock, His work is perfect; all His ways are just. A God of faithfulness without injustice, righteous and upright is He.
5 Nĩmethaahĩtie harĩ we; ũndũ wa thoni nĩ atĩ ti ciana ciake rĩngĩ, no nĩ rũciaro rũremi na rwaganu.
His people have acted corruptly toward Him; the spot on them is not that of His children, but of a perverse and crooked generation.
6 Ũũ nĩguo mũngĩrĩha wega wa Jehova, inyuĩ andũ aya akĩĩgu na mwagĩte ũũgĩ? Githĩ tiwe Ithe wanyu, o we Mũmbi wanyu, ũrĩa wamũmbire na agĩtũma mwĩhaande wega?
Is this how you repay the LORD, O foolish and senseless people? Is He not your Father and Creator? Has He not made you and established you?
7 Ririkana matukũ ma tene; wĩciirie ũhoro wa njiaro iria ihĩtũkĩte. Ũria thoguo na nĩegũkwĩra, O na athuuri anyu na nĩmegũgũtaarĩria.
Remember the days of old; consider the years long past. Ask your father, and he will tell you, your elders, and they will inform you.
8 Rĩrĩa Ũrĩa-ũrĩ-Igũrũ-Mũno aaheire ndũrĩrĩ igai rĩacio, rĩrĩa aagayanirie iruka ciothe cia andũ, nĩekĩrĩire andũ othe mĩhaka, kũringana na mũigana wa ariũ a Isiraeli.
When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance, when He divided the sons of man, He set the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.
9 Nĩ gũkorwo igai rĩa Jehova nĩ andũ ake, Jakubu nĩwe igai rĩake rĩrĩa eegaĩire.
But the LORD’s portion is His people, Jacob His allotted inheritance.
10 Aamuonire arĩ kũndũ werũ-inĩ, werũ ũtarĩ kĩndũ, ũgambagwo nĩ nyamũ. Nake akĩmũgitĩra na akĩmũmenyerera; aamũrangagĩra o ta kĩũma kĩa riitho rĩake,
He found him in a desert land, in a barren, howling wilderness; He surrounded him, He instructed him, He guarded him as the apple of His eye.
11 o ta ũrĩa nderi yarahũraga tũcui twayo gĩtara-inĩ kĩayo, ĩkareera igũrũ rĩa tũcui twayo, ĩtambũrũkĩtie mathagu mayo nĩguo ituoe, na ĩgatũkuua mathagu-inĩ mayo.
As an eagle stirs up its nest and hovers over its young, He spread His wings to catch them and carried them on His pinions.
12 Jehova o we wiki nĩwe wamũtongoririe; gũtiarĩ ngai ngʼeni yarĩ hamwe nake.
The LORD alone led him, and no foreign god was with him.
13 Atũmire ahaice kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru bũrũri-inĩ, na akĩmũhũũnia na matunda ma mĩgũnda. Nĩamũheire ũũkĩ uumĩte ihiga-inĩ, na akĩmũhe maguta moimĩte ihiga-inĩ rĩa nyaigĩ;
He made him ride on the heights of the land and fed him the produce of the field. He nourished him with honey from the rock and oil from the flinty crag,
14 akĩmũhe ngorono na iria kuuma ndũũru-inĩ cia ngʼombe, na cia mbũri na tũtũrũme tũnoru. o na mbũri na ndũrũme iria njega mũno cia Bashani, na ngano ĩrĩa njega mũno. Nĩwanyuire thakame ĩrĩ mũhũyũ ya thabibũ, nĩyo ndibei yacio.
with curds from the herd and milk from the flock, with the fat of lambs, with rams from Bashan, and goats, with the choicest grains of wheat. From the juice of the finest grapes you drank the wine.
15 Jeshuruni nake aanorire, agĩikia haati; aahũũnire, agĩtunguha, na agĩkenga mwĩrĩ. Agĩgĩtigana na Ngai ũrĩa wamũmbire, na akĩrega Rwaro rwa Ihiga, o ruo Mũhonokia wake.
But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked— becoming fat, bloated, and gorged. He abandoned the God who made him and scorned the Rock of his salvation.
16 Nĩmatũmire aigue ũiru nĩ ũndũ wa ngai icio ciao ngʼeni, na makĩmũrakaria na mĩhianano yao ĩrĩ magigi.
They provoked His jealousy with foreign gods; they enraged Him with abominations.
17 Nĩmarutĩire ndaimono magongona, iria itarĩ Ngai: ngai iria matooĩ, ngai iria cieyumĩrĩtie o ica-ikuhĩ, ngai iria iteetigĩrĩtwo nĩ maithe manyu.
They sacrificed to demons, not to God, to gods they had not known, to newly arrived gods, which your fathers did not fear.
18 Nĩwatiganĩirie Rwaro rwa Ihiga, rũrĩa rwagũciarire; ũkĩriganĩrwo nĩ Mũrungu ũrĩa wagũciarire.
You ignored the Rock who brought you forth; you forgot the God who gave you birth.
19 Jehova nĩonire ũndũ ũcio nake akĩmarega nĩ ũndũ nĩarakarĩtio nĩ ariũ ake na airĩtu ake.
When the LORD saw this, He rejected them, provoked to anger by His sons and daughters.
20 Nake akiuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũmahitha ũthiũ wakwa, nyone ũrĩa marigĩrĩrio mao magaakorwo matariĩ; nĩgũkorwo nĩ rũciaro rũremi, ciana itaangĩĩhokeka.
He said: “I will hide My face from them; I will see what will be their end. For they are a perverse generation— children of unfaithfulness.
21 Manjiguithirie ũiru nĩ ũndũ wa ngai itarĩ bata, na makĩndakaria na ngai ciao itarĩ kĩene. Ngaamaiguithia ũiru na rũrĩrĩ hatarĩ; ngaatũma marakario nĩ rũrĩrĩ rũtarĩ na ũmenyo.
They have provoked My jealousy by that which is not God; they have enraged Me with their worthless idols. So I will make them jealous by those who are not a people; I will make them angry by a nation without understanding.
22 Nĩ gũkorwo mwaki nĩwakĩtio nĩ mangʼũrĩ makwa, ũrĩa wakanaga ũgakinya mũhuro wa kwa ngoma. Nĩũkaniina thĩ na magetha mayo, na ũmundie itina cia irĩma mwaki. (Sheol )
For a fire has been kindled by My anger, and it burns to the depths of Sheol; it consumes the earth and its produce, and scorches the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol )
23 “Nĩngamombĩrĩra mĩtino na mĩguĩ yakwa ndĩmĩhũthĩre ngĩmahũũra nayo.
I will heap disasters upon them; I will spend My arrows against them.
24 Nĩngamarehithĩria ngʼaragu ya kũmahinyaria, ndĩmarehithĩrie gĩthĩĩna gĩa kũmaniina na mũthiro wa kũmooraga; Ngaamarehithĩria nyamũ cia gĩthaka irĩ magego moogĩ, ndĩmarehithĩrie ũrũrũ wa nduĩra iria inyororokaga rũkũngũ-inĩ.
They will be wasted from hunger and ravaged by pestilence and bitter plague; I will send the fangs of wild beasts against them, with the venom of vipers that slither in the dust.
25 Rũhiũ rwa njora nĩrũkaniina ciana ciao njĩra-inĩ ya itũũra; kĩmako gĩkaamaiyũra marĩ kwao mĩciĩ. Aanake na airĩtu nĩmagathira, o hamwe na ngenge, na andũ arĩa marĩ na mbuĩ.
Outside, the sword will take their children, and inside, terror will strike the young man and the young woman, the infant and the gray-haired man.
26 Ndoigire nĩngamaharagania, na tharie kũririkanwo kwao kuuma kũrĩ andũ,
I would have said that I would cut them to pieces and blot out their memory from mankind,
27 no nĩndetigĩrire kĩnyararo gĩa thũ, nĩguo mũmuku ndakaage gũtaũkĩrwo, oige atĩrĩ, ‘Guoko gwitũ nĩgũtooranĩtie; Jehova tiwe wĩkĩte ũũ wothe.’”
if I had not dreaded the taunt of the enemy, lest their adversaries misunderstand and say: ‘Our own hand has prevailed; it was not the LORD who did all this.’”
28 Nĩ rũrĩrĩ rũteciiragia, matirĩ na gũkũũrana thĩinĩ wao.
Israel is a nation devoid of counsel, with no understanding among them.
29 Naarĩ korwo maarĩ oogĩ mahote kũmenya ũguo na makũũrane ũrĩa ũhoro wao wa kũrigĩrĩria ũgaakorwo ũtariĩ!
If only they were wise, they would understand it; they would comprehend their fate.
30 Mũndũ ũmwe angĩhota atĩa gũtengʼeria andũ ngiri, kana andũ eerĩ matũme andũ ngiri ikũmi moore, tiga makorirwo meendetio nĩ Rwaro rwa Ihiga, tiga Jehova akorirwo amatiganĩirie?
How could one man pursue a thousand, or two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, unless the LORD had given them up?
31 Nĩ gũkorwo ihiga rĩao rĩtihaana ta Rwaro rwa Ihiga riitũ, o ta ũrĩa o na thũ ciitũ ciũĩ.
For their rock is not like our Rock, even our enemies concede.
32 Mũthabibũ wao uumĩte mũthabibũ-inĩ wa Sodomu, na ũkoima mĩgũnda-inĩ ya Gomora. Thabibũ ciayo ciyũrĩte thumu, nacio ikũmba ciacio ikarũra.
But their vine is from the vine of Sodom and from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are poisonous; their clusters are bitter.
33 Ndibei yacio nĩ ũrũrũ wa nduĩra, o guo thumu ũrĩa mũũru mũno wa nduĩra.
Their wine is the venom of serpents, the deadly poison of cobras.
34 “Githĩ ndikoretwo njigĩte ũndũ ũyũ wega ngaikara ndĩũmenyereire mũthiithũ-inĩ wakwa?
“Have I not stored up these things, sealed up within My vaults?
35 Kũrĩhanĩria nĩ gwakwa; nĩ niĩ ngaarĩhanĩria. Ihinda rĩakinya, kũgũrũ kwao nĩ gũgaatenderũka; mũthenya wao wa mwanangĩko ũrĩ hakuhĩ, naguo mũtino wao ũhiũhĩte ũmakore.”
Vengeance is Mine; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; for their day of disaster is near, and their doom is coming quickly.”
36 Jehova nĩagaciirithia andũ ake, na aiguĩre ndungata ciake tha, rĩrĩa akoona nĩmathirĩtwo nĩ hinya, na gũtirĩ o na ũmwe wao ũtigarĩte, arĩ ngombo kana atarĩ ngombo.
For the LORD will vindicate His people and have compassion on His servants when He sees that their strength is gone and no one remains, slave or free.
37 Nake nĩ akoiga atĩrĩ, “Rĩu ngai ciao ikĩrĩ ha, ihiga rĩu meehithaga harĩ rĩo,
He will say: “Where are their gods, the rock in which they took refuge,
38 ngai iria ciarĩĩaga maguta ma magongona mao, na ikanyua ndibei ya indo iria ciarutagwo cia kũnyuuo? Reke cigĩũkĩre imũteithie! Reke imũhe kĩĩgitio!
which ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offerings? Let them rise up and help you; let them give you shelter!
39 “Rĩu menyai atĩ niĩ mwene nĩ niĩ Ngai! Gũtirĩ ngai ũngĩ tiga niĩ. Nĩ niĩ njũraganaga na niĩ ndũũranagia muoyo, nĩndiihanĩtie na nĩngũhonia, na gũtirĩ o na ũmwe ũngĩhonokania kuuma guoko-inĩ gwakwa.
See now that I am He; there is no God besides Me. I bring death and I give life; I wound and I heal, and there is no one who can deliver from My hand.
40 Nguoya guoko gwakwa na igũrũ njuge atĩrĩ: O ta ũrĩa ndũũraga muoyo nginya tene,
For I lift up My hand to heaven and declare: As surely as I live forever,
41 rĩrĩa ngaanoora rũhiũ rwakwa rwa njora rũkahenia na ndĩrũnyiite na guoko gwakwa ngĩtua ciira, nĩngerĩhĩria kũrĩ thũ ciakwa, na ndĩĩrĩhĩrie kũrĩ arĩa maathũire.
when I sharpen My flashing sword, and My hand grasps it in judgment, I will take vengeance on My adversaries and repay those who hate Me.
42 Nĩngatũma mĩguĩ yakwa ĩnyue thakame ĩrĩĩo, Naruo rũhiũ rwakwa rwa njora rũrĩage nyama: ĩyo nĩ thakame ya arĩa moragĩtwo na arĩa matahĩtwo, na mĩtwe ya atongoria a thũ.”
I will make My arrows drunk with blood, while My sword devours flesh— the blood of the slain and captives, the heads of the enemy leaders.”
43 Inyuĩ ndũrĩrĩ, kenai hamwe na andũ ake, nĩgũkorwo nĩakarĩhanĩria thakame ya ndungata ciake; acirĩhĩrie harĩ thũ ciake, na ahoroherie bũrũri wake, o na andũ ake.
Rejoice, O heavens, with Him, and let all God’s angels worship Him. Rejoice, O nations, with His people; for He will avenge the blood of His children. He will take vengeance on His adversaries and repay those who hate Him; He will cleanse His land and His people.
44 Musa nĩmookire na Joshua mũrũ wa Nuni, na makĩaria ciugo ciothe cia rwĩmbo rũrũ andũ makĩiguaga.
Then Moses came with Joshua son of Nun and recited all the words of this song in the hearing of the people.
45 Rĩrĩa Musa aarĩkirie kũhe andũ a Isiraeli ũhoro ũcio,
When Moses had finished reciting all these words to all Israel,
46 akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Ciugo ici ciothe ndaamwĩra ũmũthĩ itarĩ na itherũ, rekei ciikare ngoro-inĩ cianyu, nĩgeetha mũgaatha ciana cianyu gwathĩkĩra wega ciugo icio ciothe cia watho ũyũ.
he said to them, “Take to heart all these words I testify among you today, so that you may command your children to carefully follow all the words of this law.
47 To ciugo o ũguo harĩ inyuĩ, no nĩcio muoyo wanyu. Nĩigatũma mũtũũre matukũ maingĩ bũrũri ũrĩa mũraringa Rũũĩ rwa Jorodani mũkawĩgwatĩre.”
For they are not idle words to you, because they are your life, and by them you will live long in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”
48 Mũthenya o ro ũcio Jehova akĩĩra Musa atĩrĩ,
On that same day the LORD said to Moses,
49 “Ambata, ũkinye mwambato wa Abarimu o, kũu kĩrĩma kĩa Nebo bũrũri-inĩ wa Moabi, kũngʼethanĩra na Jeriko, wĩrorere Kaanani, bũrũri ũrĩa ndĩrahe andũ a Isiraeli ũtuĩke igai rĩao.
“Go up into the Abarim Range to Mount Nebo, in the land of Moab across from Jericho, and view the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites as their own possession.
50 Kĩrĩma kĩu ũkũhaica nĩkĩo ũgaakuĩra, nawe ũcookanĩrĩrio hamwe na andũ anyu, o ta ũrĩa mũrũ wa nyũkwa Harũni aakuĩrĩire kĩrĩma-inĩ kĩa Horu, nake agĩcookanĩrĩrio hamwe na andũ arĩa manakua.
And there on the mountain that you climb, you will die and be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people.
51 Gĩtũmi kĩa ũguo nĩ tondũ inyuĩ eerĩ nĩmwagire kũnjĩtĩkia mũrĩ mbere ya andũ a Isiraeli o kũu maaĩ-inĩ ma Meriba Kadeshi werũ-inĩ wa Zini tondũ mũtiigana kũrũgamĩrĩra ũtheru wakwa harĩ andũ a Isiraeli.
For at the waters of Meribah-kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin, both of you broke faith with Me among the Israelites by failing to treat Me as holy in their presence.
52 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, nĩ ũkuona bũrũri ũcio ũrĩ o haraaya; no ndũgatoonya bũrũri ũcio ndĩrahe andũ a Isiraeli.”
Although you shall see from a distance the land that I am giving the Israelites, you shall not enter it.”
