< Jeremia 30 >

1 Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa yakinyĩrĩire Jeremia yumĩte kũrĩ Jehova:
This is the word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, saying:
2 “Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Andĩka ũhoro ũrĩa wothe ngwarĩirie ibuku-inĩ.’
Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, saying: Write thee all the words that I have spoken to thee, in a book.
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 the Lord, and I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Juda, saith the Lord: and I will cause them to return to the land which 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 the Lord hath spoken to Israel and to Juda:
5 “Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “‘Nĩtũiguĩte mũkayũrũrũko wa kũmakania, wa itua-nda, no ti wa thayũ.
For thus saith the Lord: We have heard a voice of terror: 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, and see if a man bear children? why then have I seen every man with his hands on his loins, like a woman in labour, and all faces are turned yellow?
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, neither is there the like to it; and it Is the time of tribulation to Jacob, 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 the Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst his bands: and strangers shall no more rule over him:
9 Handũ ha ũguo, magaatungatagĩra Jehova Ngai wao, na Daudi mũthamaki wao, ũrĩa niĩ ngaamarahũrĩra.
But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to 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.
Therefore fear thou not, my servant Jacob, saith the Lord, neither be dismayed, O Israel: for behold, I will save thee from a country afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity: and Jacob shall return, and be at rest, and abound with all good things, and there shall be none whom he may fear:
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 the Lord, to save thee: for I will utterly consume all the nations, among which I have scattered thee: but I will not utterly consume thee: but I will chastise thee in judgment, that thou mayst not seem to thyself innocent.
12 “Nĩ ũndũ Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “‘Kĩronda gĩaku gĩtingĩhona, nguraro ciaku itirĩ kĩhonia.
For thus saith the Lord: Thy bruise is incurable, thy wound is very grievous.
13 Hatirĩ na wa gũgũthaithanĩrĩra, kana ndawa ya kĩronda gĩaku, o na kana gĩa gũkũhonia.
There is none to judge thy judgment to bind it up: 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, and will not seek after thee: for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with a cruel chastisement: by reason of the multitude of thy iniquities, thy sins are hardened.
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 for thy affliction? thy sorrow is incurable: for the multitude of thy iniquity, and for thy hardened sins I have done these things to 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 they that devour thee shall be devoured: and all thy enemies shall be carried into captivity: and they that waste thee shall be wasted, and all that prey upon thee will I give for 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 close up thy scar, and will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord. Because they have called thee, O Sion, an outcast: This is she that hath none to seek after her.
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 the Lord: Behold I bring back the captivity of the pavilions of Jacob, and will have pity on his houses, and the city shall be built in her place, and the temple shall be found according to the order 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 come forth praise, and the voice of them that play: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be made few: and I will glorify them, and they shall not be lessened.
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 children shall be as from the beginning, and their assembly be permanent before me: and I will against all that afflict 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 leader shall be of themselves: and their prince shall come forth from the midst of them: and I will bring him near, and he shall come to me: for who is this that setteth his heart to approach to me, saith the Lord?
22 ‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩmũgatuĩka andũ akwa, na niĩ nduĩke Ngai wanyu.’”
And you 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 the whirlwind of the Lord, his fury going forth, a violent storm, it shall rest 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 Lord will not turn away the wrath of his indignation, till he have executed and performed the thought o his heart: in the latter days you shall understand these things.
