< Jeremia 13 >

1 Jehova aanjĩĩrire atĩrĩ: “Thiĩ wĩgũrĩre mũcibi wa gatani, wĩohe njohero, no ndũkareke ũhutanie na maaĩ.”
Thus he said Yahweh to me go and you will buy for yourself a loincloth of linen and you will put it on loins your and in water not you must cause to go it.
2 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩgũra mũcibi, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aanjathĩte njĩke, ngĩwĩoha njohero.
And I bought the loincloth according to [the] word of Yahweh and I put [it] on loins my.
3 Ningĩ ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩkĩnginyĩrĩra hĩndĩ ya keerĩ ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me a second [time] saying.
4 “Oya mũcibi ũcio ũraagũrire, o ũcio wĩohete njohero, ũũkĩre o rĩu ũthiĩ ũkinye Rũũĩ rwa Farati, ũũhithe mwatũka-inĩ wa rwaro rwa ihiga.”
Take the loincloth which you bought which [is] on loins your and arise go Perath towards and hide it there in [the] cleft of the rock.
5 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩthiĩ ngĩũhitha kũu Rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Farati, o ta ũrĩa Jehova anjĩĩrĩte njĩke.
And I went and I hid it at Perath just as he had commanded Yahweh me.
6 Matukũ maingĩ maathira Jehova akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, “Rĩu ũkĩra ũthiĩ ũkinye Rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Farati, woe mũcibi ũrĩa ndakwĩrire ũkaũhithe kuo.”
And it was from [the] end of days many and he said Yahweh to me arise go Perath towards and take from there the loincloth which I commanded you to hide it there.
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩthiĩ kũu rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Farati, ngĩthikũria mũcibi ũcio ngĩũruta harĩa ndaaũhithĩte, no rĩrĩ, nĩwabuthĩte ũkaaga kĩene biũ.
And I went Perath towards and I dug and I took the loincloth from the place where I had hidden it there and there! it was ruined the loincloth not it was profitable for anything.
8 Hĩndĩ ĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩkĩnginyĩrĩra, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
9 “Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Ũguo nĩguo ngaaniina rũtũrĩko rwa Juda o na rũtũrĩko rũnene rwa Jerusalemu.
Thus he says Yahweh thus I will ruin [the] pride of Judah and [the] pride of Jerusalem great.
10 Andũ aya aaganu, aya maregete kũigua ũhoro wakwa, o aya marũmagĩrĩra ũremi wa ngoro ciao, makoima ngai ingĩ thuutha macitungatĩre na macihooye-rĩ, magaatuĩka ta mũcibi ũcio, mage kĩene biũ!
The people this wicked who are refusing - to hear words my who walk in [the] stubbornness of own heart their and they have walked after gods other to serve them and to bow down to them and let it be like the loincloth this which not it is profitable for anything.
11 Nĩgũkorwo o ta ũrĩa mũcibi wĩohagwo njohero ya mũndũ, ũguo nĩguo ndeohire nyũmba yothe ya Isiraeli na nyũmba yothe ya Juda, nĩgeetha matuĩke andũ akwa kũna, nĩguo ndĩgĩĩre na ngumo, na ngumagio na ngaheagwo gĩtĩĩo. No rĩrĩ, matiigana gũthikĩrĩria,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
For just as it clings loincloth to [the] loins of a person so I have made cling to me all [the] house of Israel and all [the] house of Judah [the] utterance of Yahweh to become for me a people and a name and praise and honor and not they listened.
12 “Meere atĩrĩ: ‘Ũũ nĩguo Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli ekuuga: Mondo o yothe ya ndibei yagĩrĩire nĩkũiyũrio ndibei.’ Nao mangĩgaakũũria atĩrĩ, ‘Ithuĩ tũtiũĩ atĩ mondo o yothe ya ndibei nĩyagĩrĩire kũiyũrio ndibei?’
And you will speak to them the word this. Thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel every wineskin it will be filled wine and they will say to you ¿ really not do we know that every wineskin it will be filled wine.
13 Hĩndĩ ĩyo ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga: Nĩngũiyũria arĩa othe matũũraga bũrũri ũyũ na ũrĩĩu, o hamwe na athamaki acio maikaragĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũthamaki kĩa Daudi, na athĩnjĩri-Ngai, na anabii, na arĩa othe matũũraga Jerusalemu.
And you will say to them thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to fill all [the] inhabitants of the land this and the kings who sit for David on throne his and the priests and the prophets and all [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem drunkenness.
14 Nĩngamahũũrithania mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ, hũũrithanie maithe na ciana o ũndũ ũmwe, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. Ndikamaiguĩra tha, kana ndĩmacaaĩre o na kana ngĩe na kĩeha atĩ nĩguo njage kũmaniina.’”
And I will smash them each to brother his and the parents and the children alike [the] utterance of Yahweh not I will show pity and not I will have mercy and not I will have compassion from destroying them.
15 Thikĩrĩriai na mũtege matũ, tigai gwĩtĩĩa, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩarĩtie.
Hear and give ear may not you be haughty for Yahweh he has spoken.
16 Goocai Jehova Ngai wanyu atanarehe nduma, na mbere ya magũrũ manyu mahĩngwo kũu irĩma-inĩ kũragĩa nduma. Inyuĩ mwĩrĩgĩrĩire ũtheri, nowe-rĩ, nĩakaũgarũra ũtuĩke nduma ndumanu, aũgarũre ũtuĩke ta kĩeha kĩnene.
Give to Yahweh God your glory before he will bring darkness and before they will stumble feet your on mountains of twilight and you will wait for light and he will make it into deep darkness (and he will make [it] *Q(K)*) into thick darkness.
17 No rĩrĩ, mũngĩaga kũigua, ndĩrĩĩrĩragĩra hitho-inĩ nĩ ũndũ wa mwĩtĩĩo wanyu; maitho makwa makaarĩra na ruo, ngĩitaga maithori, nĩ ũndũ rũũru rwa Jehova nĩrũgũtahwo.
And if not you will listen to it in secret places it will weep self my because of pride and utterly it will weep and it may run down eye my tear[s] for it has been taken captive [the] flock of Yahweh.
18 Ĩra mũthamaki o na nyina wa mũthamaki atĩrĩ, “Harũrũkai mume itĩ-inĩ cianyu cia ũthamaki, nĩgũkorwo tanji icio cianyu irĩ riiri nĩcikũgũa kuuma mĩtwe-inĩ yanyu.”
Say to the king and to the queen-mother make low sit for it has come down [the] place of head your [the] crown of splendor your.
19 Matũũra manene ma kũu Negevu nĩmakahingwo, na gũtikagĩa mũndũ ũkaamahingũra. Andũ othe a Juda nĩmagatahwo matwarwo bũrũri ũngĩ, magaatahwo matwarwo othe biũ.
[the] cities of The Negev they have been shut up and there not [is one who] opens it has been taken into exile Judah all of it it has been taken into exile completeness.
20 Tiirai maitho muone andũ acio marooka moimĩte mwena wa gathigathini. Rũũru rũrĩa wehokeirwo rwa ngʼondu rũrĩa ũretĩĩaga naruo-rĩ, rũkĩrĩ ha?
(Lift up *Q(K)*) eyes your (and see *Q(K)*) those [who] are coming from [the] north where? [is] the flock [which] it was given to you [the] sheep of beauty your.
21 Ũkoiga atĩa rĩrĩa Jehova akaanenehia andũ arĩa watuĩte athiritũ aku nĩguo matuĩke a gũgwathaga? Githĩ ndũkanyiitwo nĩ ruo rũnene, ta rwa mũndũ-wa-nja akĩrũmwo?
What? will you say that he will appoint over you and you you taught them over you close friends to chief ¿ not labor-pains will they seize you like a woman giving birth.
22 Nawe ũngĩkeyũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte maũndũ macio mangore?” Nĩũkamenya atĩ magũkorete nĩ ũndũ wa mehia maku maingĩ, na nĩkĩo ũtarũrĩirwo nguo ciaku, naguo mwĩrĩ waku ũgathũkio.
And if you will say in heart your why? have they happened to me these [things] in [the] greatness of iniquity your they have been uncovered skirts your they have suffered violence heels your.
23 Mũkushi ahota kũgarũra gĩkonde kĩa mwĩrĩ wake, o na kana ngarĩ ĩgarũre maroro mayo? O na inyuĩ mũtingĩhota gwĩka wega, nĩ ũndũ nĩ mwamenyerire gwĩka ũũru.
¿ Will he change a Cushite skin his and a leopard spots its also you you will be able to do good O [those] trained to do evil.
24 “Niĩ ngaakũhurunja o ta ũrĩa mũũngũ ũmbũragwo nĩ rũhuho rwa werũ-inĩ.
And I will scatter them like chaff [which] passes away to [the] wind of [the] wilderness.
25 Rĩu nĩrĩo igai rĩaku, rũgai rũrĩa ngũtuĩrĩire,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga, “tondũ nĩũriganĩirwo nĩ niĩ, ũkehoka ngai cia maheeni.
This [is] lot your [the] portion of measure your from with me [the] utterance of Yahweh that you have forgotten me and you have trusted in falsehood.
26 Nĩngakũguũria nguo ikũhumbĩre ũthiũ nĩguo njaga yaku yoneke:
And also I I will strip off skirts your on face your and it will be visible shame your.
27 ũtharia waku o na mĩĩto ĩrĩa wanagĩria, o na ũmaraya waku ũrĩa ũtarĩ thoni! Nĩndĩĩoneire ciĩko ciaku cia ũũra-thoni kũu tũrĩma-inĩ na mĩgũnda-inĩ. Kaĩ ũrĩ na haaro, wee Jerusalemu-ĩ! Ũgũtũũra wĩthaahĩtie nginya-rĩ?”
Adulteri your and neighings your [the] wickedness of prostitution your on hills in the field I have seen detestable things your woe! to you O Jerusalem not you are clean after when? yet.
