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 YHWH in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar.
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.
Now at that time the king of Babylon's army was besieging Jerusalem; and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the court of the guard, 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, "Why do you prophesy, and say, 'Thus says YHWH, "Look, 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 see 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 bring Zedekiah to Babylon, and he shall be there until I visit him," says YHWH: "though you fight with the Chaldeans, you shall not prosper?"'"
6 Nake Jeremia akiuga atĩrĩ, “Ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyanginyĩrire ngĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
Jeremiah said, "The word of YHWH came to 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.’
'Look, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle shall come to you, saying, "Buy my field that is in Anathoth; for the right of redemption is yours 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 Hanamel my uncle's son came to me in the court of the guard according to the word of YHWH, and said to me, "Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, which is in the land 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 YHWH.
9 nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩkĩgũra mũgũnda ũcio warĩ Anathothu kuuma kũrĩ Hanameli mũrũ wa mama, na ngĩmũthimĩra cekeri ikũmi na mũgwanja cia betha.
I bought the field that was in Anathoth of Hanamel my uncle's son, 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.
I subscribed the deed, and sealed it, and called 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 deed of the purchase, both that which was sealed, containing the terms and conditions, 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 delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, in the presence of Hanamel my cousin, and in the presence of the witnesses who subscribed the deed of the purchase, before all the Jews who sat in the court of the guard.
13 “O marĩ hau-rĩ, nĩndataarĩirie Baruku, ngĩmwĩra atĩrĩ,
I commanded 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 YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel: "Take these deeds, this deed of the purchase which is sealed, and this deed 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 YHWH of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Houses and fields and vineyards shall yet again be bought 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 after I had delivered the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah, I prayed to YHWH, 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, YHWH. Look, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm; there is nothing too difficult 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,
who show loving kindness to thousands, and recompense the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them; the Great, the Mighty God, YHWH 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; whose eyes are open on all the ways of human beings, to give to each person 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.
You performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and to this day in Israel and among all humankind, and have made a name for yourself to 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.
You brought forth your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror;
22 Nĩwamaheire bũrũri ũyũ werĩire maithe mao na mwĩhĩtwa atĩ nĩũkamahe, bũrũri ũrĩ bũthi wa iria na ũũkĩ.
and gave them this land, which you swore 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 did not obey your voice, neither walked in your law; they have done nothing of all that you commanded them to do: therefore you have caused all this evil to come on 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.
Look, the mounds, they have come to the city to take it; and the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans who fight against it, because of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence; and what you have spoken has happened; and look, 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.’”
You have said to me, Lord YHWH, "Buy the field for money, and call witnesses"; whereas the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans.'"
26 Ningĩ ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩgĩkinyĩra Jeremia, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
Then came the word of YHWH to Jeremiah, saying,
27 “Niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, Ngai wa andũ othe. Nĩ harĩ ũndũ o na ũmwe mũritũ harĩ niĩ?
"Look, I am YHWH, the God of all flesh: is there anything too difficult 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 YHWH: 'Look, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar 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, who fight against this city, shall come and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses, on whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to 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 people of Judah have done only that which was evil in my sight from their youth; for the children of Israel have only provoked me to anger with the work of their hands, says YHWH.
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 a provocation of my anger and of my wrath from the day that they built it even to 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 people of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their officials, 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.
They have turned to me the back, and not the face: and though I taught them, rising up early and teaching them, yet they have not listened 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.
They built the high places of Baal, which are in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through fire to Molech; which I did not command them, neither did it come 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:
"Now therefore thus says YHWH, the God of Israel, concerning this city, about which you say, 'It is given 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.
'Look, I will gather them out of all the countries, where I have driven them in my anger, and in my wrath, and in great indignation; and I will bring them again to 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 forever, for their good, 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 following them, to do them good; and I will put my fear in their hearts, that they may 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.
Yes, 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 YHWH: 'Just as I have brought all this great disaster on this people, so will I bring on 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.’
Fields shall be bought in this land, about which you say, "It is desolate, without man or animal; 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 the deeds, and seal them, and call witnesses, in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, and in the cities of the hill country, and in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the Negev: for I will cause their captivity to return,' says YHWH."
