< Jeremia 30 >

1 Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa yakinyĩrĩire Jeremia yumĩte kũrĩ Jehova:
The word that came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
2 “Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Andĩka ũhoro ũrĩa wothe ngwarĩirie ibuku-inĩ.’
Thus speaketh Jehovah the God of Israel, saying, Write thee in a book all the words that I have spoken unto thee.
3 Tondũ Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Matukũ nĩmarooka, rĩrĩa ngaarehe andũ akwa a Isiraeli na a Juda moime kũrĩa maatwarirwo maatahwo na ndĩmacookie bũrũri ũrĩa ndaheire maithe mao mawĩgwatĩre,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.”
For behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, when I will turn the captivity of my people Israel and Judah, saith Jehovah; and I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
4 Ũyũ nĩguo ũhoro ũrĩa Jehova aaririe ũkoniĩ Isiraeli na Juda:
And these are the words that Jehovah hath spoken concerning Israel and concerning Judah;
5 “Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “‘Nĩtũiguĩte mũkayũrũrũko wa kũmakania, wa itua-nda, no ti wa thayũ.
for thus saith Jehovah: We have heard a voice of trembling, there is fear, and no peace.
6 Ta tuĩriai ũhoro, muone: Hihi mũndũ mũrũme no ahote gũciara mwana? Nĩ kĩĩ kĩragĩtũma nyone arũme othe arĩa marĩ hinya menyiitĩte nda ta mũtumia ũkũrũmwo, na o mũndũ akagarũrũka agatukia gĩthiithi?
Ask ye now, and see, whether a male doth travail with child? Wherefore do I see every man with his hands on his loins, as a woman in travail; and all faces are turned into paleness?
7 Kaĩ mũthenya ũcio nĩũgakorwo ũrĩ mũrũrũ-ĩ! Gũtirĩ ũngĩ ũkahaana taguo. Gũgaakorwo kũrĩ ihinda rĩa kũnyariirĩka rĩa Jakubu, no nĩakahonokio kuuma harĩ guo.’
Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob's trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.
8 “Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Mũthenya ũcio nĩngoinanga icooki rĩu ndĩrĩeherie ngingo-inĩ ciao, na nduuange nga iria mohetwo nacio; nacio ndũrĩrĩ itigacooka kũmatua ngombo ciao rĩngĩ.
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst thy bonds, and strangers shall no more reduce him to servitude.
9 Handũ ha ũguo, magaatungatagĩra Jehova Ngai wao, na Daudi mũthamaki wao, ũrĩa niĩ ngaamarahũrĩra.
But they shall serve Jehovah their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.
10 “‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio tiga gwĩtigĩra, wee Jakubu ndungata yakwa; tiga kũmaka, wee Isiraeli,’ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. ‘Ti-itherũ nĩngakũhonokia ngũrute kũu kũraya, na njiaro ciaku ndĩcirute bũrũri ũrĩa maathaamĩirio. Jakubu nĩagacookererwo nĩ thayũ o na ũgitĩri, na gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe ũgaatũma etigĩre.
And thou, my servant Jacob, fear not, saith Jehovah; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for behold, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and at ease, and none shall make [him] afraid.
11 Ndĩ hamwe nawe na nĩngakũhonokia,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. ‘O na ingĩniina ndũrĩrĩ ciothe cia kũrĩa guothe ngũharaganĩirie, wee ndigakũniina biũ. No nĩngakũherithia na kĩhooto; ndikaareka ũthiĩ o ro ũguo itakũherithĩtie.’
For I am with thee, saith Jehovah, to save thee: for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have scattered thee; yet of thee will I not make a full end, but I will correct thee with judgment, and will not hold thee altogether guiltless.
12 “Nĩ ũndũ Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “‘Kĩronda gĩaku gĩtingĩhona, nguraro ciaku itirĩ kĩhonia.
For thus saith Jehovah: Thy bruise is incurable, thy wound is grievous.
13 Hatirĩ na wa gũgũthaithanĩrĩra, kana ndawa ya kĩronda gĩaku, o na kana gĩa gũkũhonia.
There is none to plead thy cause, to bind up [thy wound]; thou hast no healing medicines.
14 Athiritũ aku othe nĩmariganĩirwo nĩwe; ndũrĩ kĩene harĩo. Ngũgũthĩte o ta ũrĩa thũ ĩngĩkũgũtha, na ngaakũherithia o ta ũrĩa mũndũ ũtarĩ tha aherithanagia, nĩ ũndũ mahĩtia maku nĩ manene mũno, namo mehia maku makaingĩha makĩria.
All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not. For I have smitten thee with the stroke of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness of thine iniquity: thy sins are manifold.
15 Nĩ kĩĩ kĩratũma ũrĩrĩre kĩronda gĩaku, ũkarĩrĩra ruo rwaku rũtarĩ na kĩhonia? Nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa mahĩtia maku manenehete na mehia maku magakĩingĩha rĩ, nĩkĩo ngwĩkĩte maũndũ macio.
Why criest thou because of thy bruise? thy sorrow is incurable; for the greatness of thine iniquity, [because] thy sins are manifold, I have done these things unto thee.
16 “‘No rĩrĩ, andũ arĩa othe magaakũngʼaũrania o nao nĩmakangʼaũranio; thũ ciaku ciothe nĩigatwarwo ithaamĩrio. Arĩa magũtahaga indo ciaku nĩmagatahwo; arĩa othe magũtunyaga indo na niĩ nĩngamatunya.
Therefore all that devour thee shall be devoured, and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be for a spoil; and all they that prey upon thee will I give to be a prey.
17 No nĩngagũcookeria ũgima waku, na ngũhonie nguraro ciaku,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga, ‘tondũ wĩtagwo mũndũ mũte, Zayuni itũũra rĩtarĩ mũndũ ũrĩrũmbũyagia.’
For I will apply a bandage unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith Jehovah; for they have called thee an outcast: This is Zion that no man seeketh after.
18 “Ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga: “‘Nĩngacookia ũgaacĩru wa Jakubu hema-inĩ ciake, nacio ciikaro ciake ndĩciiguĩre tha; itũũra rĩu inene nĩrĩgaakwo rĩngĩ o kũu rĩanangĩirwo, nayo nyũmba ya ũthamaki nĩĩkarũgama harĩa hamĩagĩrĩire.
Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will turn the captivity of Jacob's tents, and have mercy on his habitations; and the city shall be built upon her own heap; and the palace shall be inhabited after the manner thereof.
19 Kuuma kũu nĩgũkaiguuagwo gũkĩinĩrwo nyĩmbo cia gũcookia ngaatho, na kũiguuagwo mĩgambo ya gĩkeno. Nĩngamaingĩhia na matikanyihanyiiha; nĩngamaheithia gĩtĩĩo, na matikaagithio kĩene.
And out of them shall proceed thanksgiving, and the voice of them that make merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be diminished; and I will honour them, and they shall not be small.
20 Ciana ciao igaikaraga o ta matukũ-inĩ marĩa ma tene, nakĩo kĩrĩndĩ kĩao gĩtũũre kĩrũmĩte wega mbere yakwa; nĩngaherithia arĩa othe mamahinyagĩrĩria.
And their sons shall be as aforetime; and their assembly shall be established before me; and I will punish all that oppress them.
21 Mũtongoria wao agaakorwo arĩ ũmwe wa andũ ao kĩũmbe; o nake mwathi wao akoima o kũu thĩinĩ wa andũ ao. Nĩngamũreharehe nake oke hakuhĩ na niĩ, nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩkũ ũngĩĩrutĩra gũũka hakuhĩ na niĩ?’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
And their prince shall be of themselves, and their ruler shall proceed from the midst of them; and I will cause him to approach, and he shall draw near unto me. For who is this that engageth his heart to draw near unto me? saith Jehovah.
22 ‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩmũgatuĩka andũ akwa, na niĩ nduĩke Ngai wanyu.’”
And ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.
23 Atĩrĩrĩ, mangʼũrĩ ma Jehova nĩmagatuthũka mahaana ta kĩhuhũkanio; ti-itherũ makaahaana ta rũhuho rũkũhurutana mũno, igũrũ rĩa andũ arĩa aaganu.
Behold, a tempest of Jehovah, fury is gone forth, a sweeping storm: it shall whirl down upon the head of the wicked.
24 Marakara mahiũ ma Jehova matigaathira, o nginya rĩrĩa akaahingia muoroto wa ngoro yake biũ. Matukũ-inĩ marĩa magooka-rĩ, nĩmũgataũkĩrwo nĩ ũhoro ũcio wega.
The fierce anger of Jehovah shall not return, until he have executed, and until he have performed the purposes of his heart. At the end of the days ye shall consider it.
