Jeremia 11
1 Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa yakinyĩrĩire Jeremia yumĩte harĩ Jehova:
The worde that came to Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 “Ta thikĩrĩria mohoro ma kĩrĩkanĩro gĩkĩ, ũcooke ũhe andũ a Juda o na andũ arĩa matũũraga Jerusalemu ũhoro wamo.
Heare ye the wordes of this couenant, and speake vnto the men of Iudah, and to the inhabitants of Ierusalem,
3 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;
And say thou vnto them, Thus sayeth the Lord God of Israel, Cursed be the man that obeyeth not the wordes of this couenant,
4 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.
Which I commanded vnto your fathers, when I brought them out of the lande of Egypt, from the yron fornace, saying, Obey my voyce, and doe according to all these things, which I commande you: so shall ye be my people, and I will be your God,
5 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.”
That I may confirme the othe, that I haue sworne vnto your fathers, to giue them a lande, which floweth with milke and hony, as appeareth this day. Then answered I and sayde, So be it, O Lord.
6 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.
Then the Lord saide vnto me, Cry all these words in the cities of Iudah, and in the streetes of Ierusalem, saying, Heare yee the words of this couenant, and doe them.
7 Kuuma hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndaarutire maithe manyu kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, nginya ũmũthĩ, ndũũrĩte ndĩmakaanagia o hĩndĩ o hĩndĩ, ngameera atĩrĩ, “Njathĩkagĩrai.”
For I haue protested vnto your fathers, whe I brought them vp out of the land of Egypt vnto this day, rising earely and protesting, saying, Obey my voyce.
8 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.’”
Neuerthelesse they would not obey, nor encline their eare: but euery one walked in the stubbernesse of his wicked heart: therefore I will bring vpon them all the wordes of this couenant, which I commanded them to do, but they did it not.
9 Ningĩ Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Nĩ harĩ ndundu ya njũkanĩrĩro ĩthugundĩtwo thĩinĩ wa andũ a Juda, o na thĩinĩ wa andũ arĩa matũũraga Jerusalemu.
And the Lord sayd vnto me, A conspiracie is found among the men of Iudah, and among the inhabitants of Ierusalem.
10 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.
They are turned backe to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to heare my wordes: and they went after other gods to serue them: thus the house of Israel, and the house of Iudah haue broken my couenant, which I made with their fathers.
11 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Nĩngũmarehithĩria mwanangĩko matangĩhota kũũrĩra. O na mangĩkaangaĩra, ndikamathikĩrĩria.
Therefore thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, I will bring a plague vpon them, which they shall not be able to escape, and though they crye vnto me, I will not heare them.
12 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.
Then shall the cities of Iudah, and the inhabitants of Ierusalem goe, and crie vnto the gods vnto whome they offer incense, but they shall not bee able to helpe them in time of their trouble.
13 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.’
For according to the number of thy cities were thy gods, O Iudah, and according to the number of the streetes of Ierusalem haue yee set vp altars of confusion, euen altars to burne incense vnto Baal.
14 “Tiga kũhoera andũ aya, kana ũmathaithanĩrĩre, o na kana ũmaarĩrĩrie, tondũ ndikamathikĩrĩria hĩndĩ ĩrĩa makaangaĩra marĩ mĩnyamaro-inĩ.
Therfore thou shalt not pray for this people, neither lift vp a crie, or prayer for them: for when they cry vnto mee in their trouble, I will not heare them.
15 “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.”
What shoulde my beloued tarie in mine house, seeing they haue committed abomination with manie? and the holy flesh goeth away from thee: yet when thou doest euill, thou reioycest.
16 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.
The Lord called thy name, A greene oliue tree, faire, and of goodly fruite: but with noyse and great tumult he hath set fyre vpon it, and the branches of it are broken.
17 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.
For the Lord of hostes that planted thee, hath pronounced a plague against thee, for the wickednes of the house of Israel, and of the house of Iudah, which they haue done against themselues to prouoke me to anger in offering incense vnto Baal.
18 Nĩndamenyire ndundu yao njũru nĩ ũndũ Jehova nĩanguũrĩirie, nĩgũkorwo o ihinda rĩu nĩanyonirie ũrĩa meekaga.
And the Lord hath taught me, and I knowe it, euen then thou shewedst mee their practises.
19 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.”
But I was like a lambe, or a bullocke, that is brought to the slaughter, and I knewe not that they had deuised thus against me, saying, Let vs destroy the tree with the fruite thereof, and cut him out of the lande of the liuing, that his name may be no more in memory.
20 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.
But O Lord of hostes, that iudgest righteously, and triest the reines and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for vnto thee haue I opened my cause.
21 “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’;
The Lord therefore speaketh thus of the men of Anathoth, (that seeke thy life, and say, Prophecie not in the Name of the Lord, that thou die not by our hands)
22 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.
Thus therefore sayth the Lord of hostes, Beholde, I will visite them: the yong men shall die by the sword: their sonnes and their daughters shall die by famine,
23 Gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe wao ũgaatigara, tondũ nĩngarehithĩria andũ a Anathothu mwanangĩko mwaka-inĩ ũrĩa makaaherithio.’”
And none of them shall remaine: for I will bring a plague vpon the men of Anathoth, euen the yeere of their visitation.
