Jeremia 16
1 Hĩndĩ ĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyanginyĩrire, ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
The worde of the Lord came also vnto mee, saying,
2 “Ndũkanahikanie ũgĩe na aanake kana airĩtu kũndũ gũkũ.”
Thou shalt not take thee a wife, nor haue sonnes nor daughters in this place.
3 Nĩgũkorwo ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga ũndũ ũkoniĩ aanake na airĩtu arĩa maciarĩirwo bũrũri ũyũ na ũkoniĩ atumia arĩa marĩ manyina mao na arũme arĩa marĩ maithe mao, atĩrĩ:
For thus sayeth the Lord concerning the sonnes, and concerning the daughters that are borne in this place, and concerning their mothers that beare them, and concerning their fathers, that beget them in this land,
4 “Nĩmagakua gĩkuũ kiumanĩte na mĩrimũ mĩũru. Matigaacakaĩrwo kana mathikwo, no magaatuĩka ta rũrua rũharaganĩtio gũkũ thĩ. Makaaniinwo na rũhiũ rwa njora na ngʼaragu, nacio ciimba ciao igatuĩka, irio cia nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ na nyamũ cia gĩthaka.”
They shall die of deathes and diseases: they shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried, but they shalbe as dung vpon the earth, and they shalbe consumed by the sword, and by famine, and their carkeises shall be meate for the foules of the heauen, and for the beasts of the earth.
5 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Ndũkanatoonye mũciĩ ũrĩ na ndĩa ya mathiko; ndũgathiĩ gũcakaya kana gũcaayanĩra, nĩ ũndũ nĩnjeheretie kĩrathimo gĩakwa, na wendo wakwa, o na tha ciakwa harĩ andũ aya,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
For thus saith the Lord, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither goe to lament, nor be moued for the: for I haue taken my peace, from this people, saith the Lord, euen mercy and compassion.
6 “Andũ othe, anene na arĩa anini, nĩmagakuĩra bũrũri-inĩ ũyũ. Matigaathikwo kana macakaĩrwo, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgetiihangia kana enjwo mũtwe nĩ ũndũ wao.
Both the great, and the small shall die in this land: they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them nor cut themselues, nor make themselues balde for them.
7 Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaaheana irio cia kũhooreria acio maracakaĩra arĩa makuĩte, o na akorwo nĩ ithe kana nyina, o na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũkaaheana kĩndũ gĩa kũnyua nĩguo amagirie maithori.
They shall not stretch out the hands for the in the mourning to comfort them for the dead, neither shall they giue them the cup of consolation to drinke for their father or for their mother.
8 “Ningĩ ndũkanatoonye mũciĩ ũrĩ na gĩathĩ, atĩ nĩguo ũikare thĩ nao mũrĩe na mũnyue.
Thou shalt not also goe into the house of feasting to sit with them to eate and to drinke.
9 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova, Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Matukũ-inĩ manyu nĩmũkeonera na maitho manyu ngakinyia mĩgambo ya ndũrũhĩ na ya gĩkeno mũthia o na niine mĩgambo ya mũhiki na mũhikania kũndũ gũkũ.’
For thus sayth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Beholde, I wil cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, euen in your dayes the voyce of myrth, and the voyce of gladnes, the voyce of the bridegrome and the voyce of the bride.
10 “Rĩrĩa ũkeera andũ aya maũndũ macio mothe nao makũũrie atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte Jehova atũtuĩre mwanangĩko mũnene ũguo? Kaĩ twĩkĩte ihĩtia rĩrĩkũ? Nĩ mehia marĩkũ twĩhĩirie Jehova Ngai witũ?’
And when thou shalt shewe this people all these wordes, and they shall say vnto thee, Wherefore hath the Lord pronounced all this great plague against vs? or what is our iniquitie? and what is our sinne that we haue committed against the Lord our God?
11 Hĩndĩ ĩyo ũmeere atĩrĩ: Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩ tondũ maithe manyu nĩmandirikire, makĩrũmĩrĩra ngai ingĩ, magĩcitungatagĩra na magĩcihooyaga. Nĩmandirikire na makĩaga kũrũmia watho wakwa.
Then shalt thou say vnto them, Because your fathers haue forsaken me, sayth the Lord, and haue walked after other gods, and haue serued them, and worshipped them, and haue forsaken me, and haue not kept my Law,
12 No inyuĩ nĩmwĩkĩte maũndũ ma waganu mũgakĩra maithe manyu. Ta rorai muone ũrĩa o ũmwe wanyu arũmĩrĩire ũremi wa ngoro yake thũku, handũ ha kũnjathĩkĩra.
(And ye haue done worse then your fathers: for beholde, you walke euery one after the stubbernesse of his wicked heart, and will not heare me)
13 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩngũmũrutũrũra muume bũrũri ũyũ mũthiĩ bũrũri mũtooĩ inyuĩ ene, o na kana ũkamenywo nĩ maithe manyu, na mũrĩ kũu nĩmũgatungatagĩra ngai ingĩ mũthenya na ũtukũ, nĩgũkorwo ndigũcooka kũmwĩka maũndũ mega.’”
Therefore will I driue you out of this land into a lande that ye knowe not, neither you, nor your fathers, and there shall ye serue other gods day and night: for I will shew you no grace.
14 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “O na kũrĩ ũguo, matukũ nĩmarooka rĩrĩa andũ matagacooka kuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo, ũrĩa warutire andũ a Isiraeli kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri,’
Behold therfore, saith the Lord, the dayes come that it shall no more be sayde, The Lord liueth, which brought vp the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt,
15 no makoigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa Jehova atũũraga muoyo, ũrĩa warutire andũ a Isiraeli bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ mwena wa gathigathini, na akĩmaruta mabũrũri-inĩ mothe kũrĩa aamathaamĩirie.’ Nĩgũkorwo nĩngamacookia bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa ndaaheire maithe mao.”
But the Lord liueth, that brought vp the children of Israel from the lande of the North, and from all the landes where hee had scattered them, and I wil bring them againe into their land that I gaue vnto their fathers.
16 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “No rĩrĩ, nĩngũtũmana gwĩtwo ategi a thamaki aingĩ, nao nĩmakamatega. Thuutha wa ũguo njooke ndũmanĩre aguĩmi aingĩ, nao nĩmakamaguĩma irĩma-inĩ, na tũrĩma-inĩ tuothe, na mĩatũka-inĩ ya ndwaro cia mahiga.
Behold, sayth the Lord, I wil send out many fishers, and they shall fish them, and after, will I send out many hunters, and they shall hunt them from euery mountaine and from euery hill, and out of the caues of the rockes.
17 Maitho makwa nĩmoonaga mĩthiĩre yao yothe; ndĩngĩhithĩka harĩ niĩ, o namo mehia mao matingĩhithwo atĩ nĩguo maitho makwa mage kũmona.
For mine eyes are vpon al their wayes: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquitie hid from mine eyes.
18 Ngaamarĩhia maita meerĩ nĩ ũndũ wa waganu wao na mehia mao, nĩ ũndũ nĩmathaahĩtie bũrũri wakwa na mĩhaano ĩtarĩ muoyo mĩmeneku mũno, na makaiyũria igai rĩakwa na mĩhianano ĩrĩ magigi.”
And first I will recompense their iniquitie and their sinne double, because they haue defiled my lande, and haue filled mine inheritance with their filthie carions and their abominations.
19 Atĩrĩrĩ Wee Jehova, o wee hinya wakwa, na kĩirigo gĩakwa kĩrũmu, o wee rĩũrĩro rĩakwa hĩndĩ ya mathĩĩna, ndũrĩrĩ igooka harĩwe ciumĩte ituri-inĩ cia thĩ, ciuge atĩrĩ, “Maithe maitũ matiarĩ na kĩndũ tiga ngai cia maheeni, o mĩhianano ĩyo ĩtarĩ kĩene na ĩtarĩ ũndũ mwega yamekĩire.
O Lord, thou art my force, and my strength and my refuge in the day of affliction: the Gentiles shall come vnto thee from the ends of the world, and shall say, Surely our fathers haue inherited lies, and vanitie, wherein was no profite.
20 Andũ nĩmethondekagĩra ngai ciao ene? Ĩĩ, no rĩrĩ, icio ti ngai!”
Shall a man make gods vnto himselfe, and they are no gods?
21 “Tondũ ũcio nĩngamaruta maamenye, ihinda-inĩ rĩĩrĩ nĩguo ngaamaruta ũhoro wa ũhoti na hinya wakwa. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmakamenya atĩ rĩĩtwa rĩakwa nĩ Jehova.
Beholde, therefore I will this once teach them: I will shewe them mine hande and my power, and they shall know that my Name is the Lord.
