Jeremia 32
1 Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa yakinyĩrĩire Jeremia yumĩte kũrĩ Jehova mwaka-inĩ wa ikũmi wa wathani wa Zedekia mũthamaki wa Juda, na nĩguo warĩ mwaka wa ikũmi na ĩnana wa wathani wa Nebukadinezaru.
The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.
2 Hĩndĩ ĩyo mbũtũ cia ita cia mũthamaki wa Babuloni nĩciarigiicĩirie Jerusalemu irĩtunyane, nake Jeremia ũrĩa mũnabii aahingĩrĩtwo kũu nja ya arangĩri thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya mũthamaki wa Juda.
For then the king of Babylon's army besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the king of Judah's house.
3 Nĩgũkorwo Zedekia mũthamaki wa Juda nĩamuohithĩtie kũu, akoiga atĩrĩ, “Ũtũrathagĩra ũguo nĩkĩ? uugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Ndĩ hakuhĩ kũneana itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Babuloni, nake nĩakarĩĩnyitĩra.
For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Wherefore do you prophesy, and say, Thus says the LORD, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it;
4 Zedekia mũthamaki wa Juda ndakehonokia kuuma moko-inĩ ma andũ a Babuloni, nowe no nginya akaaneanwo kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Babuloni, na nĩakaranĩria nake ũthiũ kwa ũthiũ, na nĩakamuona na maitho make mwene.
And Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall surely be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes;
5 Nĩagatwara Zedekia kũu Babuloni, kũrĩa agaaikara nginya njĩke nake ũrĩa kwagĩrĩire, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. O na mũngĩrũa na andũ a Babuloni, mũtikamahoota.’”
And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there shall he be until I visit him, says the LORD: though all of you fight with the Chaldeans, all of you shall not prosper.
6 Nake Jeremia akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyanginyĩrire ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
And Jeremiah said, The word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
7 Hanameli mũrũ wa Shalumu, ũrĩa mamaguo, nĩegũũka kũrĩ we, akwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Wĩgũrĩre mũgũnda wakwa ũrĩa ũrĩ Anathothu, nĩ ũndũ wee nĩwe mũndũ wa ndĩra ciitũ wa hakuhĩ makĩria, na nĩwe ũrĩ na kĩhooto gĩa kũũgũra.’
Behold, Hanameel the son of Shallum your uncle shall come unto you saying, Buy you my field that is in Anathoth: for the right of redemption is your to buy it.
8 “Hĩndĩ ĩyo, o ta ũrĩa Jehova aakoretwo anjĩĩra-rĩ, Hanameli mũrũ wa mama agĩũka kũrĩ niĩ kũu nja ĩrĩa ĩikaragio nĩ arangĩri, akĩnjĩĩra atĩrĩ, ‘Wĩgũrĩre mũgũnda wakwa ũrĩa ũrĩ Anathothu, bũrũri-inĩ wa Benjamini. Nĩgũkorwo wee nĩwe ũrĩ na kĩhooto gĩa kũũkũũra ũtuĩke waku, wĩgũrĩre ũtuĩke waku.’ “Hĩndĩ ĩyo ngĩmenya ndũmĩrĩri ĩyo yoimĩte kũrĩ Jehova;
So Hanameel mine uncle's son came to me in the court of the prison according to the word of the LORD, and said unto me, Buy my field, I pray you, that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is yours, and the redemption is yours; buy it for yourself. Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD.
9 nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩkĩgũra mũgũnda ũcio warĩ Anathothu kuuma kũrĩ Hanameli mũrũ wa mama, na ngĩmũthimĩra cekeri ikũmi na mũgwanja cia betha.
And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle's son, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, even seventeen shekels of silver.
10 Ngĩcooka ngĩĩkĩra kĩrore na ngĩcinĩrĩra mũhũũri wakwa marũa-inĩ macio ma kuonania nũũ mwene gĩthaka, ningĩ ngĩkorwo ndĩ na aira a ũhoro ũcio, nayo betha ĩgĩthimwo na ratiri.
And I subscribed the evidence, and sealed it, and took witnesses, and weighed him the money in the balances.
11 Ngĩoya kobi ĩmwe ya marũa macio ma kuonania nũũ mwene gĩthaka, ĩcinĩrĩirwo mũhũũri wakwa na ĩkandĩkwo maũndũ ma ũrĩa kĩrĩkanĩro kĩu gĩatariĩ, hamwe na kobi ya marũa macio mataarĩ macinĩrĩre mũhũũri,
So I took the evidence of the purchase, both that which was sealed according to the law and custom, and that which was open:
12 ngĩcineana kũrĩ Baruku mũrũ wa Neria, mũrũ wa Maaseia, mbere ya Hanameli mũrũ wa mama, na mbere ya aira arĩa meekĩrĩte kĩrore marũa-inĩ macio ma ũgũri wa gĩthaka, o na Ayahudi othe arĩa maikarĩte hau nja ĩrĩa ĩikaragio nĩ arangĩri.
And I gave the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle's son, and in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase, before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison.
13 “O marĩ hau-rĩ, nĩndataarĩirie Baruku, ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
And I charged Baruch before them, saying,
14 ‘Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ: Oya marũa maya ma kĩrĩĩko gĩa kuonania nũũ mwene gĩthaka, kobi ĩyo njĩkĩrĩte mũhũũri wakwa, na ĩyo ĩngĩ ĩtarĩ mũhũũri, ũthiĩ ũmekĩre thĩinĩ wa ndigithũ ya rĩũmba nĩgeetha matũũre hĩndĩ ndaaya.
Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Take these evidences, this evidence of the purchase, both which is sealed, and this evidence which is open; and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days.
15 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ: Nyũmba, na mĩgũnda, na mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ ciothe nĩigacooka kũgũrwo gũkũ bũrũri-inĩ ũyũ.’
For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.
16 “Na rĩrĩ, ndaarĩkia kũnengera Baruku wa Neria marũa macio ma kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa kuonania nũũ mwene gĩthaka, ngĩhooya Jehova ngiuga ũũ:
Now when I had delivered the evidence of the purchase unto Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed unto the LORD, saying,
17 “Atĩrĩrĩ, wee Mwathani Jehova, we nĩwe wombire igũrũ na thĩ na ũndũ wa hinya waku mũnene, o na ũndũ wa gũtambũrũkia guoko gwaku. Wee-rĩ, gũtirĩ ũndũ mũritũ harĩwe.
Ah Lord GOD! behold, you have made the heaven and the earth by your great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for you:
18 Wee wonanagia wendani waku kũrĩ andũ ngiri na ngiri, no ũkaherithania nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma maithe, ũkaũkinyĩria ciero-inĩ cia njiarwa ciao iria igooka thuutha wao. Wee Mũrungu mũnene na ũrĩ hinya, o wee rĩĩtwa rĩaku arĩ Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe,
You show loving kindness unto thousands, and recompence the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: the Great, the Mighty God, the LORD of hosts, is his name,
19 wee nowe mũnene wa ũheani kĩrĩra, na ciĩko ciaku nĩ cia hinya. Maitho maku maikaraga macũthĩrĩirie mĩthiĩre yothe ya andũ; wee ũrĩhaga mũndũ o wothe kũringana na mĩthiĩre yake, ningĩ kũringana na ũrĩa ciĩko ciake itariĩ.
Great in counsel, and mighty in work: for your eyes are open upon all the ways of the sons of men: to give every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings:
20 Wee nĩwe waringire ciama o na ũkĩonania morirũ kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, na no wĩkaga ũguo nginya ũmũthĩ, gũkũ Isiraeli o na gatagatĩ-inĩ ka andũ arĩa angĩ othe, namo magatũma wĩgĩĩre igweta rĩrĩa rĩrĩ rĩaku.
Which have set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even unto this day, and in Israel, and among other men; and have made you a name, as at this day;
21 Warutire andũ aku a Isiraeli kuuma bũrũri wa Misiri na ũndũ wa kũringa ciama na kuonania morirũ, na ũndũ wa guoko gwaku kũrĩ hinya, ũgũtambũrũkĩtie, o na ũgĩĩka maũndũ manene ma kũguoyohia.
And have brought forth your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm, and with great terror;
22 Nĩwamaheire bũrũri ũyũ werĩire maithe mao na mwĩhĩtwa atĩ nĩũkamahe, bũrũri ũrĩ bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ.
And have given them this land, which you did swear to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey;
23 Maatoonyire bũrũri ũcio makĩwĩgwatĩra ũgĩtuĩka wao, no rĩrĩ, matiigana gũgwathĩkĩra kana kũrũmĩrĩra mawatho maku; matiekire maũndũ marĩa wamaathĩte meke. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ũkĩmarehithĩria mwanangĩko ũyũ ũmakorete.
And they came in, and possessed it; but they obeyed not your voice, neither walked in your law; they have done nothing of all that you commandedst them to do: therefore you have caused all this evil to come upon them:
24 “Atĩrĩrĩ, ta rora wone ũrĩa gwakĩtwo ihumbu cia kũrigiicĩria itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene nĩgeetha marĩtunyane nĩ ũndũ wa mbaara ya rũhiũ rwa njora, na ngʼaragu, na mũthiro, itũũra rĩĩrĩ nĩrĩkũneanwo kũrĩ andũ a Babuloni acio mararĩtharĩkĩra. Ũndũ ũrĩa wee woigire nĩũhingĩte, o ta ũrĩa we ũreyonera.
Behold the mounts, they are come unto the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, that fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence: and what you have spoken has come to pass; and, behold, you see it.
25 O na gũtuĩka itũũra nĩrĩkũneanwo kũrĩ andũ a Babuloni, wee, o wee Mwathani Jehova, ũnjĩĩrĩte atĩrĩ, ‘Wĩgũrĩre mũgũnda na betha, naguo ũgũri ũcio wa mũgũnda ũcio ũgĩe na aira.’”
And you have said unto me, O Lord GOD, Buy you the field for money, and take witnesses; for the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
26 Ningĩ ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩgĩkinyĩra Jeremia, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah, saying,
27 “Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, Ngai wa andũ othe. Nĩ harĩ ũndũ o na ũmwe mũritũ harĩ niĩ?
Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
28 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Ndĩ hakuhĩ kũneana itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene kũrĩ andũ a Babuloni, ndĩrĩneane kũrĩ Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni, arĩtunyane.
Therefore thus says the LORD; Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it:
29 Andũ acio a Babuloni maraatharĩkĩra itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene nĩmagatoonya kuo na marĩmundie mwaki; nĩ makaarĩcina rĩthire, hamwe na nyũmba iria andũ maacinagĩra Baali ũbumba igũrũ rĩacio, o na magaitagĩra ngai ingĩ indo cia kũnyuuo nĩguo maathirĩkie ndaakare.
And the Chaldeans, that fight against this city, shall come and set fire on this city, and burn it with the houses, upon whose roofs they have offered incense unto Baal, and poured out drink offerings unto other gods, to provoke me to anger.
30 “Andũ a Isiraeli na a Juda mekaga o maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ makwa kuuma ũnini-inĩ wao; ti-itherũ, andũ a Isiraeli matirĩ ũndũ mekaga tiga gũũthirĩkia maathirĩkagia nĩguo ndaakare na indo iria methondekeire na moko mao, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have only done evil before me from their youth: for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, says the LORD.
31 Kuuma mũthenya ũrĩa itũũra rĩĩrĩ rĩakirwo nginya ũmũthĩ, itũũra rĩĩrĩ rĩtũũrĩte rĩarahũraga marakara makwa na mangʼũrĩ, na nĩkĩo no nginya ndĩrĩeherie maitho-inĩ makwa.
For this city has been to me as a provocation of mine anger and of my fury from the day that they built it even unto this day; that I should remove it from before my face,
32 Andũ a Isiraeli na a Juda nĩmathirĩkĩtie nĩguo ndakare na maũndũ mothe ma waganu marĩa meekĩte: o, na athamaki, na anene ao, na athĩnjĩri-Ngai na anabii ao, na andũ a Juda na andũ a Jerusalemu.
Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
33 Nĩmahutatĩire makaaga kũhũgũra mothiũ mao kũrĩ niĩ; o na gũtuĩka nĩndamarutire kaingĩ kaingĩ, matiathikĩrĩirie kana magĩtĩkĩra gũtaarwo.
And they have turned unto me the back, and not the face: though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not hearkened to receive instruction.
34 No maigire mĩhianano ĩyo yao ĩrĩ magigi thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ĩrĩa ĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, makĩmĩthaahia.
But they set their abominations in the house, which is called by my name, to defile it.
35 Ningĩ nĩmakĩire Baali mahooero kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, kũu Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Beni-Hinomu, nĩguo marutagĩre Moleku ariũ ao na airĩtu ao marĩ magongona, o na gũtuĩka niĩ ndiathanĩte ũndũ ũcio wĩkagwo, o na kana ũgĩtoonya meciiria-inĩ makwa, atĩ hihi no meeke ũndũ mũũru na ũrĩ magigi ta ũcio, wa gũtũma andũ a Juda mehie.
And they built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire unto Molech; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my mind, that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.
36 “Ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene, mũroiga atĩrĩ, ‘na ũndũ wa mbaara ya rũhiũ rwa njora, na ngʼaragu, na mũthiro nĩrĩkaneanwo kũrĩ mũthamaki wa Babuloni’; no rĩrĩ, ũũ nĩguo Jehova Ngai wa Isiraeli ekuuga:
And now therefore thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning this city, whereof all of you say, It shall be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence;
37 Ti-itherũ nĩngamacookanĩrĩria kuuma mabũrũri-inĩ marĩa ndaamathaamĩirie ndĩ na marakara mahiũ na mangʼũrĩ maingĩ; ngaamacookia kũndũ gũkũ na ndũme matũũre marĩ agitĩre.
Behold, I will gather them out of all countries, where I have driven them in mine anger, and in my fury, and in great wrath; and I will bring them again unto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely:
38 Nĩmagatuĩka andũ akwa na niĩ nduĩke Ngai wao.
And they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
39 Nĩngatũma o magĩe na ũrũmwe wa ngoro o na mĩthiĩre-inĩ yao, nĩgeetha matũũre manjĩtigĩrĩte nĩgeetha matũũre moonaga wega o ene na ciana ciao iria igooka thuutha wao.
And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me for ever, for the good of them, and of their children after them:
40 Nĩngarĩĩkanĩra nao kĩrĩkanĩro gĩa gũtũũra nginya tene na tene: Ndirĩ hĩndĩ ngaatiga kũmeka wega, na nĩngatũma manjĩtigagĩre, nĩguo matikanae kũũhutatĩra.
And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; but I will put my fear in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
41 Nĩngakenaga ngĩmeeka wega, na ti-itherũ nĩngamahaanda gũkũ bũrũri ũyũ ngwatĩirie na ngoro yakwa yothe o na muoyo wakwa wothe.
Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart and with my whole soul.
42 “Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: O ta ũrĩa ndaarehithĩirie andũ aya mathĩĩna manene, ũguo noguo ngaamahe ũgaacĩru ũrĩa wothe ndĩmerĩire.
For thus says the LORD; Like I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so will I bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.
43 O rĩngĩ nĩgũkagũrwo mĩgũnda bũrũri-inĩ ũyũ, o ũyũ inyuĩ mugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Ũyũ nĩ bũrũri mũkiru ihooru, ũtarĩ na andũ kana nyamũ, nĩgũkorwo nĩwaneanirwo kũrĩ andũ a Babuloni.’
And fields shall be bought in this land, whereof all of you say, It is desolate without man or beast; it is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.
44 Mĩgũnda ĩkaagũragwo na betha, namo marũa ma ũgũri nĩmakandĩkanĩrwo na mekĩrwo kĩrore na macinĩrĩrwo mũhũũri aira marĩ ho, kũu bũrũri wa Benjamini, na tũtũũra-inĩ tũrĩa tũriganĩtie na Jerusalemu, na matũũra ma Juda, na matũũra ma bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma na matũũra marĩa marĩ magũrũ-inĩ ma irĩma cia mwena wa ithũĩro, o na ma Negevu, nĩ tondũ nĩngamacookeria ũgaacĩru wao, ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.”
Men shall buy fields for money, and subscribe evidences, and seal them, and take witnesses in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the mountains, and in the cities of the valley, and in the cities of the south: for I will cause their captivity to return, says the LORD.
