< Jeremia 33 >

1 O mahinda-inĩ macio Jeremia aarĩ muohe kũu nja-inĩ ya arangĩri, ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyamũkinyĩire riita rĩa keerĩ, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
Moreover the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still locked up in the court of the guard, saying,
2 “Ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga, o we ũrĩa wombire thĩ, Jehova ũrĩa watũmire thĩ ĩgĩe ho, na akĩmĩhaanda, Jehova nĩrĩo rĩĩtwa rĩake:
“The LORD who does it, the LORD who forms it to establish it—the LORD is his name, says:
3 ‘Ta kĩngaĩre, na niĩ nĩngũgwĩtĩka na ngwĩre maũndũ manene na matangĩtuĩrĩka, marĩa ũtooĩ.’
‘Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and difficult things, which you do not know.’
4 Nĩgũkorwo ũũ nĩguo Jehova, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga ũhoro ũkoniĩ nyũmba iria irĩ itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene, o na nyũmba cia ũthamaki wa Juda o icio ciatharirio nĩguo indo iria ciakĩte kuo ihũthĩrwo kwĩgitĩra kuuma kũrĩ ihumbu cia tĩĩri iria cikũrigiicĩirie o na kuuma kũrĩ rũhiũ rwa njora,
For the LORD, the God of Israel, says concerning the houses of this city and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are broken down to make a defense against the mounds and against the sword:
5 makĩhũũrana na andũ a Babuloni: ‘Nyũmba icio ciothe nĩikaiyũrio ciimba cia andũ arĩa ngooragithia ndĩ na marakara na mangʼũrĩ. Nĩngahitha itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene ũthiũ wakwa nĩ ũndũ wa waganu wao wothe.
‘While men come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have killed in my anger and in my wrath, and for all whose wickedness I have hidden my face from this city,
6 “‘No rĩrĩ, nĩngarĩrehera ũgima wa mwĩrĩ na ndĩrĩhonie. Ningĩ nĩngahonia andũ akwa na ndũme matũũre makenagĩra thayũ mũingĩ na ũgitĩri.
behold, I will bring it health and healing, and I will cure them; and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth.
7 Nĩngacookia andũ a Juda na a Isiraeli gũkũ ndĩmarute kũrĩa matũũrĩte marĩ atahe, njooke ndĩmaake rĩngĩ, maikare o ta ũrĩa maatariĩ mbere.
I will restore the fortunes of Judah and Israel, and will build them as at the first.
8 Nĩngamatheria mathirwo nĩ mehia mothe marĩa mananjĩhĩria na ndĩmarekere mehia mao mothe ma kũrega kũnjathĩkĩra.
I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against me. I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned against me and by which they have transgressed against me.
9 Hĩndĩ ĩyo itũũra rĩĩrĩ inene nĩrĩkandehithĩria ngumo na gĩkeno, na gĩtĩĩo, na ũgooci, o na gwĩkĩrĩrwo mbere ya ndũrĩrĩ ciothe cia gũkũ thĩ rĩrĩa andũ akuo makaigua ũhoro wa maũndũ mothe mega marĩa ndĩmekagĩra; nĩkũgega makaagega na mainaine moona ũingĩ wa ũgaacĩru na thayũ ũrĩa ngaahe itũũra rĩu.’
This city will be to me for a name of joy, for praise, and for glory, before all the nations of the earth, which will hear all the good that I do to them, and will fear and tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I provide to it.’”
10 “Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Mwaragia ũhoro ũkoniĩ kũndũ gũkũ, mũkoiga atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kũndũ kũnũhe gũtarĩ kĩndũ, na gũtarĩ andũ kana nyamũ.” No thĩinĩ wa matũũra ma Juda na njĩra-inĩ iria nene cia Jerusalemu, o kũu gũthaamĩtwo gũkaaga andũ kana nyamũ-rĩ, nĩgũgacooka kũiguuo
The LORD says: “Yet again there will be heard in this place, about which you say, ‘It is waste, without man and without animal, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without animal,’
11 mĩgambo ya gĩkeno na ya gũcanjamũka, na mĩgambo ya mũhiki na mũhikania, o na mĩgambo ya andũ arĩa mararehe indo cia maruta ma gũcookia ngaatho nyũmba-inĩ ya Jehova, makiugaga atĩrĩ, “‘“Cookeriai Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ngaatho, nĩ ũndũ Jehova nĩ mwega; wendo wake ũtũũraga tene na tene.” Nĩgũkorwo nĩngacookeria bũrũri ũyũ ũgaacĩru waguo, o ta ũrĩa warĩ kuo mbere,’ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who say, ‘Give thanks to the LORD of Armies, for the LORD is good, for his loving kindness endures forever;’ who bring thanksgiving into the LORD’s house. For I will cause the captivity of the land to be reversed as at the first,” says the LORD.
12 “O na ningĩ Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Kũndũ gũkũ kũnũhe na gũtarĩ andũ kana nyamũ-rĩ, matũũra makuo mothe nĩmagacooka kũgĩa ũrĩithio kũrĩa arĩithi makaarahagia ndũũru ciao cia mbũri.
The LORD of Armies says: “Yet again there will be in this place, which is waste, without man and without animal, and in all its cities, a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
13 Thĩinĩ wa matũũra ma bũrũri ũrĩa ũrĩ irĩma, o na marĩa marĩ magũrũ-inĩ ma irĩma cia mwena wa ithũĩro, o na ma Negevu, bũrũri-inĩ wa Benjamini, o na tũtũũra-inĩ tũrĩa tũrigiicĩirie Jerusalemu o na matũũra-inĩ ma Juda-rĩ, ndũũru cia mbũri nĩigacooka kũhĩtũkĩra guoko-inĩ kwa ũrĩa ũcitaraga,’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
In the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, in the cities of the South, in the land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will again pass under the hands of him who counts them,” says the LORD.
14 “Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Matukũ nĩmagooka rĩrĩa ngaahingia kĩĩranĩro gĩakwa kĩa wega kĩrĩa nderĩire nyũmba ya Isiraeli na nyũmba ya Juda.
“Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah.
15 “‘Matukũ-inĩ macio o na ihinda rĩu-rĩ, nĩngarahũrĩra Daudi mũndũ mũthingu ũgerekanĩtio na rũhonge rwa mũtĩ; nĩageekaga maũndũ marĩa magĩrĩire na ma kĩhooto bũrũri-inĩ.
“In those days and at that time, I will cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up to David. He will execute justice and righteousness in the land.
16 Matukũ-inĩ macio, Juda nĩgũkahonokanio, nakuo Jerusalemu gũtũũre kũrĩ kũgitĩre. Nake ageetagwo rĩĩtwa rĩĩrĩ Jehova-Ũthingu-Witũ.’
In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell safely. This is the name by which she will be called: The LORD our righteousness.”
17 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Daudi ndarĩ hĩndĩ akaaga mũndũ wa gũikarĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene kĩa nyũmba ya Isiraeli,
For the LORD says: “David will never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel.
18 kana athĩnjĩri-Ngai, arĩa Alawii, mage mũndũ wa gũikara mbere yakwa hĩndĩ ciothe acinage maruta ma njino, na maruta ma mũtu, o na arutage magongona marĩa ma o mũthenya.’”
The Levitical priests will not lack a man before me to offer burnt offerings, to burn meal offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.”
19 Ningĩ ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyakinyĩrĩire Jeremia akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
The LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
20 “Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Angĩkorwo inyuĩ mwahota gũthũkia kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na mũthenya, na kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na ũtukũ, nĩgeetha mũthenya na ũtukũ itigacooke kũgĩa hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yagĩrĩire-rĩ,
“The LORD says: ‘If you can break my covenant of the day and my covenant of the night, so that there will not be day and night in their time,
21 nakĩo kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ndaarĩkanĩire na Daudi ndungata yakwa, o na kĩrĩkanĩro kĩrĩa ndaarĩkanĩire na Alawii arĩa athĩnjĩri-Ngai arĩa matungataga marĩ mbere yakwa, kĩahota gũthũkio, nake Daudi akĩage gũcooka kũgĩa na mũndũ wa rũciaro rwake wa gũthamakaga arĩ gĩtĩ-inĩ gĩake kĩa ũnene.
then my covenant could also be broken with David my servant, that he will not have a son to reign on his throne; and with the Levitical priests, my ministers.
22 Nĩngatũma njiaro cia Daudi ndungata yakwa, o na Alawii acio matungataga marĩ mbere yakwa maingĩhe o ta njata cia igũrũ iria itangĩtarĩka nĩ ũndũ wa kũingĩha, o na ta mũthanga ũrĩa ũrĩ hũgũrũrũ-inĩ cia iria ũrĩa ũtangĩthimĩka ũrĩa ũigana.’”
As the army of the sky cannot be counted, and the sand of the sea cannot be measured, so I will multiply the offspring of David my servant and the Levites who minister to me.’”
23 O rĩngĩ ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyakinyĩrĩire Jeremia akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
The LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
24 “Kaĩ ũtamenyete andũ aya maroiga atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova nĩatete mothamaki marĩa meerĩ ethuurĩire’? Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mamenaga andũ akwa na matimoonaga ta marĩ rũrĩrĩ.
“Do not consider what this people has spoken, saying, ‘Has the LORD cast off the two families which he chose?’ Thus they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.”
25 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Angĩkorwo ndiigĩte kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na mũthenya na ũtukũ, o na mawatho marĩa marũmu ma igũrũ na thĩ-rĩ,
The LORD says: “If my covenant of day and night fails, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth,
26 hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩngagĩteanĩria njiaro cia Jakubu na cia Daudi ndungata yakwa, na njage gũthuura ũmwe wa aanake ake atuĩke wa gũthamakĩra njiaro cia Iburahĩmu, na cia Isaaka, na cia Jakubu. Nĩgũkorwo nĩngamacookeria ũgaacĩru wao na ndĩmaiguĩre tha.’”
then I will also cast away the offspring of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his offspring to be rulers over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for I will cause their captivity to be reversed and will have mercy on them.”
