< Jeremia 33 >

1 O mahinda-inĩ macio Jeremia aarĩ muohe kũu nja-inĩ ya arangĩri, ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyamũkinyĩire riita rĩa keerĩ, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
While Jeremiah was still confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the LORD came to him a second time:
2 “Ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga, o we ũrĩa wombire thĩ, Jehova ũrĩa watũmire thĩ ĩgĩe ho, na akĩmĩhaanda, Jehova nĩrĩo rĩĩtwa rĩake:
“Thus says the LORD who made the earth, the LORD who formed it and established it, the LORD is His name:
3 ‘Ta kĩngaĩre, na niĩ nĩngũgwĩtĩka na ngwĩre maũndũ manene na matangĩtuĩrĩka, marĩa ũtooĩ.’
Call to Me, and I will answer and show you great and unsearchable things 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 this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says about the houses of this city and the palaces of the kings of Judah that have been torn down for defense against the siege ramps and 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.
The Chaldeans are coming to fight and to fill those places with the corpses of the men I will strike down in My anger and in My wrath. I have hidden My face from this city because of all its wickedness.
6 “‘No rĩrĩ, nĩngarĩrehera ũgima wa mwĩrĩ na ndĩrĩhonie. Ningĩ nĩngahonia andũ akwa na ndũme matũũre makenagĩra thayũ mũingĩ na ũgitĩri.
Nevertheless, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal its people and reveal to them the 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 Judah and Israel from captivity and will rebuild them as in former times.
8 Nĩngamatheria mathirwo nĩ mehia mothe marĩa mananjĩhĩria na ndĩmarekere mehia mao mothe ma kũrega kũnjathĩkĩra.
And I will cleanse them from all the iniquity they have committed against Me, and will forgive all their sins of rebellion 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.’
So this city will bring Me renown, joy, praise, and glory before all the nations of the earth, who will hear of all the good I do for it. They will tremble in awe because of all the goodness and prosperity that I will provide for 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
This is what the LORD says: In this place you say is a wasteland without man or beast, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem that are deserted—inhabited by neither man nor beast—there will be heard again
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 sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of the bride and bridegroom, and the voices of those bringing thank offerings into the house of the LORD, saying: ‘Give thanks to the LORD of Hosts, for the LORD is good; His loving devotion endures forever.’ For I will restore the land from captivity as in former times, 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.
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: In this desolate place, without man or beast, and in all its cities, there will once more be pastures for shepherds to rest their flocks.
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, the foothills, and the Negev, in the land of Benjamin and the cities surrounding Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will again pass under the hands of the one 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 are coming, declares the LORD, when I will fulfill the gracious promise that I have spoken to the house of Israel and 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 to sprout for David a righteous Branch, and He will administer 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 securely, and this is the name by which it 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 this is what 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.’”
nor will the priests who are Levites ever fail to have a man before Me to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings, and to present sacrifices.”
19 Ningĩ ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyakinyĩrĩire Jeremia akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
And the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
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,
“This is what the LORD says: If you can break My covenant with the day and My covenant with the night, so that day and night cease to occupy their appointed 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 may also be broken with David My servant and with My ministers the Levites who are priests, so that David will not have a son to reign on his throne.
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 hosts of heaven cannot be counted and as the sand on the seashore cannot be measured, so too will I multiply the descendants of My servant David and the Levites who minister before Me.”
23 O rĩngĩ ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyakinyĩrĩire Jeremia akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
Moreover, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
24 “Kaĩ ũtamenyete andũ aya maroiga atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova nĩatete mothamaki marĩa meerĩ ethuurĩire’? Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mamenaga andũ akwa na matimoonaga ta marĩ rũrĩrĩ.
“Have you not noticed what these people are saying: ‘The LORD has rejected the two families He had chosen’? So they despise My people and no longer regard them as a nation.
25 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Angĩkorwo ndiigĩte kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na mũthenya na ũtukũ, o na mawatho marĩa marũmu ma igũrũ na thĩ-rĩ,
This is what the LORD says: If I have not established My covenant with the day and the night and the fixed order 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 would also reject the descendants of Jacob and of My servant David, so as not to take from his descendants rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will restore them from captivity and will have compassion on them.”
