< Jeremia 30 >
1 Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa yakinyĩrĩire Jeremia yumĩte kũrĩ Jehova:
The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying: —
2 “Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Andĩka ũhoro ũrĩa wothe ngwarĩirie ibuku-inĩ.’
Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Write thee all the words which 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 Jehovah, when I will bring back the captives of my people Israel and Judah, saith Jehovah, and 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 which Jehovah spake concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
5 “Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “‘Nĩtũiguĩte mũkayũrũrũko wa kũmakania, wa itua-nda, no ti wa thayũ.
Behold, thus saith Jehovah: The voice of trembling do we hear; There is alarm, 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 bring forth? Why then do I see every man's hands upon his loins, like a woman in travail? And why are all faces 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! that day is great, So that there is none like it; It is a time of trouble for Jacob, Yet shall he be saved from 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.
For in that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, I will break his yoke from his neck, And his bands will I burst asunder, And he shall be subject to strangers no more.
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 for 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, O my servant Jacob, saith Jehovah, And be not thou dismayed, O Israel! For, behold, I will bring thee safe from afar, And thy posterity from the land of their captivity; And Jacob shall return, and be at rest; Yea, he shall be quiet, 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 will be with thee, saith Jehovah, to save thee; When I shall make a full end of all the nations Whither I have dispersed thee, Yet will I not make a full end of thee; I will correct thee in measure, Yet must I not leave thee wholly unpunished.
12 “Nĩ ũndũ Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “‘Kĩronda gĩaku gĩtingĩhona, nguraro ciaku itirĩ kĩhonia.
For thus saith Jehovah: Thy bruise is incurable; Thy wound is mortal.
13 Hatirĩ na wa gũgũthaithanĩrĩra, kana ndawa ya kĩronda gĩaku, o na kana gĩa gũkũhonia.
No one offereth his help for thy cure; No healing medicines are applied to thee.
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 inquire not after thee. For with the wound of an enemy have I smitten thee, With the chastisement of a cruel one, For the multitude of thine iniquities, Because thy sins were increased.
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 pain is without remedy. For the multitude of thine iniquities, Because thy sins were increased, Have I 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.
Yet all they that devour thee shall be devoured, And all thine enemies, yea, all of them, shall go into captivity, And they that spoil thee shall become a spoil, And all that plunder thee will I give up to plunder.
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 restore soundness to thee, And I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith Jehovah; For they have called thee the outcast, Zion, whom no man careth for.
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 bring back the captives of the tents of Jacob, And I will have pity upon his dwelling-places, And the city shall be builded upon her heap, And the palace shall be inhabited as of old.
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 go forth thanksgiving, And the voice of them that make merry. And I will multiply them, and they shall not be few, And I will exalt them, and they shall not be low.
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 aforetime, And their congregation 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 princes shall be of themselves, And their governor shall proceed from the midst of them. And I will cause them to approach, and they shall come near to me; For who is he that would dare to come near to 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 whirlwind from Jehovah, Furious doth it go forth, Even a sweeping whirlwind; Upon the head of the wicked shall it rush.
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 turn back Until he shall have executed, until he shall have accomplished, the purpose of his heart; In a future day ye shall understand it fully.
