Jeremia 25
1 Ndũmĩrĩri nĩyakinyĩrĩire Jeremia ĩkoniĩ andũ othe a Juda, mwaka-inĩ wa kana wa gũthamaka kwa Jehoiakimu mũrũ wa Josia mũthamaki wa Juda, naguo nĩguo warĩ mwaka wa mbere wa gũthamaka kwa Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni.
THE WORD THAT CAME TO JEREMIAS concerning all the people of Juda in the fourth year of Joakim, son of Josias, king of Juda;
2 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jeremia ũcio mũnabii akĩĩra andũ othe a Juda na arĩa othe maatũũraga Jerusalemu atĩrĩ:
which he spoke to all the people of Juda, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
3 Ihinda rĩa mĩaka mĩrongo ĩĩrĩ na ĩtatũ, kuuma mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi na ĩtatũ wa ũthamaki wa Josia mũrũ wa Amoni mũthamaki wa Juda, nginya ũmũthĩ, ndũmĩrĩri cia Jehova itũire inginyagĩrĩra, na niĩ ngamũhe ũhoro wacio kaingĩ kaingĩ, no mũtithikĩrĩirie.
In the thirteenth year of Josias, son of Amos, king of Juda, even until this day for three and twenty years, I have both spoken to you, rising early and speaking,
4 Na rĩrĩ, o na gũtuĩka Jehova nĩamũtũmĩire ndungata ciake ciothe cia anabii kaingĩ, kaingĩ, mũtiigana gũthikĩrĩria kana gũtega matũ manyu nĩguo mũmaigue.
and I sent to you my servants the prophets, sending them early; (but you listened not, and listened not with your ears; ) saying,
5 Maamwĩrĩte atĩrĩ, “Garũrũkai rĩu o ũmwe wanyu, mũtigane na mĩthiĩre yanyu mĩũru na ciĩko cianyu njũru, nĩguo mũtũũre bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa Jehova aamũheire inyuĩ o na maithe manyu nginya tene.
Turn you every one from his evil way, and from your evil practices, and you shall dwell in the land which I gave to you and your fathers, of old and for ever.
6 Mũtikanarũmĩrĩre ngai ingĩ mũcitungatĩre kana mũcihooe; mũtikandakarie na ũndũ wa kĩrĩa mwĩthondekeire na moko manyu. Mwathĩka ũguo, hĩndĩ ĩyo ndikamũgera ngero.”
Go you not after strange gods, to serve them, and to worship them, that you provoke me not by the works of your hands, to do you hurt.
7 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “No inyuĩ mũtiathikĩrĩirie, no mũgĩĩthirĩkia nĩguo ndaakare na ũndũ wa kĩrĩa mwethondekeire na moko manyu, na inyuĩ nĩmũkĩĩgerithĩtie ngero.”
But you listened not to me.
8 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Tondũ nĩmũregete gũthikĩrĩria ndũmĩrĩri yakwa,
Therefore thus says the Lord; Since you believed not my words,
9 nĩngwĩta andũ othe a mwena wa gathigathini hamwe na ndungata yakwa Nebukadinezaru, mũthamaki wa Babuloni,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. “Nĩngũmarehe mookĩrĩre bũrũri ũyũ na arĩa matũũraga kuo o na mookĩrĩre ndũrĩrĩ ciothe iria iũrigiicĩirie. Nĩngamaniina biũ na ndũme matuĩke ta kĩndũ kĩa ihooru na gĩa kũmeneka, na manangĩke nginya tene.
behold I [will] send and take a family from the north, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants of it, and against all the nations round about it, and I will make them utterly waste, and make them a desolation, and a hissing, and an everlasting reproach.
10 Nĩngũmehereria mĩgambo ya gĩkeno na ya kũrũũhia, o na mĩgambo ya mũhiki na mũhikania, na mũrurumo wa ithĩi, o na ũtheri wa tawa.
And I will destroy from [among] them the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the scent of ointment, and the light of a candle.
11 Bũrũri ũyũ wothe ũgaatuĩka bũrũri ũtarĩ kĩndũ o na ũkirĩte ihooru, nacio ndũrĩrĩ icio nĩigatungatĩra mũthamaki wa Babuloni mĩaka mĩrongo mũgwanja.
And all the land shall be a desolation; and they shall serve among the Gentiles seventy years.
12 “No rĩrĩ, mĩaka mĩrongo mũgwanja yathira, nĩngaherithia mũthamaki wa Babuloni na rũrĩrĩ rwake, herithie bũrũri ũcio wa andũ a Babuloni nĩ ũndũ wa mahĩtia mao, na ningĩ nĩngatũma bũrũri ũcio ũtũũre ũkirĩte ihooru nginya tene,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
And when the seventy years are fulfilled, I will take vengeance on that nation, and will make them a perpetual desolation.
13 “Nĩngarehithĩria bũrũri ũcio maũndũ mothe marĩa ndanoiga atĩ nĩmakaũkora, marĩa mothe mandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩĩrĩ, o macio maarathĩirwo ndũrĩrĩ ciothe nĩ Jeremia.
And I will bring upon that land all my words which I have spoken against it, [even] all things that are written in this book.
14 Nĩgũkorwo o ene nĩmagatuĩka ngombo cia ndũrĩrĩ nyingĩ na athamaki anene; na niĩ nĩngerĩhĩria harĩo kũringana na ciĩko ciao, o na kũringana na maũndũ marĩa maneeka na moko mao.”
15 Atĩrĩrĩ, Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli, aanjĩĩrire atĩrĩ: “Oya gĩkombe gĩkĩ kĩiyũrĩte ndibei ya mangʼũrĩ makwa kuuma guoko-inĩ gwakwa, na ũkĩnyuithie ndũrĩrĩ iria ciothe ngũgũtũma kũrĩ cio.
16 Rĩrĩa ikaanyua-rĩ, nĩigatũgũũga na igũrũke nĩ ũndũ wa rũhiũ rwa njora rũrĩa ngaarehithia gatagatĩ-inĩ kao.”
17 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩoya gĩkombe kĩu kuuma guoko-inĩ kwa Jehova, na ngĩtũma ndũrĩrĩ iria ciothe aandũmĩte kũrĩ cio ikĩnyuĩre:
18 itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu na matũũra ma Juda, na athamaki akuo na anene akuo, nĩguo manangĩke, na matuĩke ta kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi na gĩa kũmeneka, o na kĩndũ kĩgwatĩtwo nĩ kĩrumi, ta ũrĩa matariĩ ũmũthĩ;
19 ningĩ Firaũni mũthamaki wa Misiri, na arĩa mamũtungataga, na anene ake na andũ ake othe,
20 na ageni arĩa othe matũũraga kuo; na ningĩ athamaki othe a Uzu; na ningĩ athamaki othe a Afilisti (aya nĩ andũ a Ashikeloni, na Gaza, na Ekironi, o na andũ arĩa maatigaire Ashidodi);
21 ningĩ andũ a Edomu, na Moabi na Amoni;
22 ningĩ athamaki othe a Turo na Sidoni; o na athamaki a icigĩrĩra iria irĩ mũrĩmo wa iria;

25 ningĩ athamaki othe a Zimuri, na Elamu na Media;
26 o na athamaki othe a mwena wa gathigathini, a gũkuhĩ na a kũraya, marũmanĩrĩre mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ: moimĩte mothamaki-inĩ mothe ma thĩ. Na thuutha wao othe, mũthamaki wa Sheshaki nĩagakĩnyuĩra o nake.
27 “Ũcooke ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga: Nyuai, mũrĩĩo na mũtahĩke, mũcooke mũgũe na mũtikanacooke gũũkĩra, nĩ ũndũ wa rũhiũ rwa njora rũrĩa ngaarehithia gatagatĩ-inĩ kanyu.’
28 No rĩrĩ, mangĩkaarega kuoya gĩkombe kĩu kuuma guoko-inĩ gwaku manyue-rĩ, ũkameera atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga: No nginya mũnyue!
29 Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩnyambĩrĩirie kũrehe mwanangĩko itũũra-inĩ rĩĩrĩ inene rĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa; anga inyuĩ no mwage kũherithio? Mũtikaaga kũherithio, nĩ ũndũ nĩndĩrarehithĩria andũ arĩa othe matũũraga gũkũ thĩ rũhiũ rwa njora, ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.’
30 “Rĩu marathĩre mohoro maya mothe, ũmeere atĩrĩ: “‘Jehova akaararama arĩ o kũu igũrũ; akaagamba ta ngwa arĩ gĩikaro-inĩ gĩake gĩtheru, na ararame na hinya, okĩrĩre bũrũri wake. Akaanĩrĩra na mũgambo mũnene mũno ta wa andũ arĩa marangagĩrĩria thabibũ, agũthũkĩre andũ othe arĩa matũũraga gũkũ thĩ.
31 Inegene rĩu nĩrĩkaiguĩka nginya ituri-inĩ ciothe cia thĩ, nĩ ũndũ Jehova nĩagaciirithia ndũrĩrĩ; nĩagatuĩra andũ othe ciira na oorage arĩa aaganu na rũhiũ rwa njora,’” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
32 Ũũ nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga: “Atĩrĩrĩ! Mwanangĩko nĩũrahunja kuuma rũrĩrĩ rũmwe nginya rũrĩa rũngĩ; kĩhuhũkanio nĩkĩrahuhũkana kuuma ituri-inĩ cia thĩ.”
33 Ihinda-inĩ rĩu andũ arĩa mooragithĩtio nĩ Jehova magaakorwo maaraganĩte kũndũ guothe, kuuma gĩturi kĩmwe gĩa thĩ nginya kĩrĩa kĩngĩ. Matikarĩrĩrwo, kana monganio, kana mathikwo, no magaaikara ta rũrua, mahurunjũkĩte thĩ.
34 Rĩrai na mũgirĩke, inyuĩ arĩithi aya; mwĩgaragariei rũkũngũ-inĩ, inyuĩ atongoria a rũũru rwa mbũri. Nĩgũkorwo ihinda rĩanyu rĩa gũthĩnjwo nĩ ikinyu; mũkaagũa mũthuthĩke o ta rĩũmba rĩrĩa rĩega mũno.
THE PROPHECIES OF JEREMIAS AGAINST THE NATIONS OF AeLAM.
35 Arĩithi acio matikoona kũndũ gwa kũũrĩra, na atongoria a rũũru rwa mbũri matikoona gwa gwĩtharĩra.
Thus says the Lord, The bow of Aelam is broken, [even] the chief of their power.
36 Thikĩrĩriai mũigue kĩrĩro kĩa arĩithi, o na kĩgirĩko kĩa atongoria a rũũru rwa mbũri, nĩ ũndũ Jehova nĩaranangithia ũrĩithio wao.
And I will bring upon Aelam the four winds from the four corners of heaven, and I will disperse them toward all these winds; and there shall be no nation [to] which they shall not come—[even] the outcasts of Aelam.
37 Ũrĩithio ũcio wa cianda-inĩ ũtarĩ ũgwati nĩũkanangwo tondũ wa marakara mahiũ ma Jehova.
And I will put them in fear before their enemies that seek their life; and I will bring evils upon them according to my great anger; and I will send forth my sword after them, until I have utterly destroyed them.
38 Akoimagara ta mũrũũthi ũkiuma kĩmamo-inĩ kĩaguo, na bũrũri wao nĩũgaakira ihooru nĩ tondũ wa rũhiũ rwa njora rwa mũhinyanĩrĩria, na nĩ ũndũ wa marakara mahiũ ma Jehova.
And I will set my throne in Aelam, and will send forth thence king and rulers.
But it shall come to pass at the end of days, that I will turn the captivity of Aelam, says the Lord.
