Jeremia 33
1 O mahinda-inĩ macio Jeremia aarĩ muohe kũu nja-inĩ ya arangĩri, ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyamũkinyĩire riita rĩa keerĩ, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still shut up in the place of the armed watchmen, saying,
2 “Ũũ nĩguo Jehova ekuuga, o we ũrĩa wombire thĩ, Jehova ũrĩa watũmire thĩ ĩgĩe ho, na akĩmĩhaanda, Jehova nĩrĩo rĩĩtwa rĩake:
These are the words of the Lord, who is doing it, the Lord who is forming it, to make it certain; the Lord is his name;
3 ‘Ta kĩngaĩre, na niĩ nĩngũgwĩtĩka na ngwĩre maũndũ manene na matangĩtuĩrĩka, marĩa ũtooĩ.’
Let your cry come to me, and I will give you an answer, and let you see great things and secret things of which you had no knowledge.
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, has said about the houses of this town and the houses of the kings of Judah, which have been broken down to make earthworks and ...;
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.
... and to make them full of the dead bodies of men whom I have put to death in my wrath and in my passion, and because of whose evil-doing I have kept my face covered from this town.
6 “‘No rĩrĩ, nĩngarĩrehera ũgima wa mwĩrĩ na ndĩrĩhonie. Ningĩ nĩngahonia andũ akwa na ndũme matũũre makenagĩra thayũ mũingĩ na ũgitĩri.
See, I will make it healthy and well again, I will even make them well; I will let them see peace and good faith in full measure.
7 Nĩngacookia andũ a Juda na a Isiraeli gũkũ ndĩmarute kũrĩa matũũrĩte marĩ atahe, njooke ndĩmaake rĩngĩ, maikare o ta ũrĩa maatariĩ mbere.
And I will let the fate of Judah and of Israel be changed, building them up as at first.
8 Nĩngamatheria mathirwo nĩ mehia mothe marĩa mananjĩhĩria na ndĩmarekere mehia mao mothe ma kũrega kũnjathĩkĩra.
And I will make them clean from all their sin, with which they have been sinning against me; I will have forgiveness for all their sins, with which they have been sinning against me, and with which they have done evil 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.’
And this town will be to me for a name of joy, for a praise and a glory before all the nations of the earth, who, hearing of all the good which I am doing for them, will be shaking with fear because of all the good and the peace which I am doing 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 has said: There will again be sounding in this place, of which you say, It is a waste, without man and without beast; even in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem which are waste and unpeopled, without man and without beast,
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.
Happy sounds, the voice of joy, the voice of the newly-married man and the voice of the bride, the voices of those who say, Give praise to the Lord of armies, for the Lord is good, for his mercy is unchanging for ever: the voices of those who go with praise into the house of the Lord. For I will let the land come back to its first condition, 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 armies has said: Again there will be in this place, which is a waste, without man and without beast, and in all its towns, a resting-place where the keepers of sheep will make their flocks take rest.
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 towns of the hill-country, in the towns of the lowland, and in the towns of the South and in the land of Benjamin and in the country round Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah, the flocks will again go under the hand of him who is numbering 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.
See, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will give effect to the good word which I have said about the people of Israel and the people 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 let a Branch of righteousness come up for David; and he will be a judge in 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 have salvation and Jerusalem will be safe: and this is the name which will be given to her: The Lord is our righteousness.
17 Nĩgũkorwo Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Daudi ndarĩ hĩndĩ akaaga mũndũ wa gũikarĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene kĩa nyũmba ya Isiraeli,
For the Lord has said, David will never be without a man to take his place on the seat of the kingdom 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.’”
And the priests and the Levites will never be without a man to come before me, offering burned offerings and perfumes and meal offerings and offerings of beasts at all times.
19 Ningĩ ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyakinyĩrĩire Jeremia akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
And the word of the Lord 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 has said: If it is possible for my agreement of the day and the night to be broken, so that day and night no longer come at their fixed times,
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 agreement with my servant David may be broken, so that he no longer has a son to take his place on the seat of the kingdom; and my agreement with the Levites, the priests, my servants.
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 it is not possible for the army of heaven to be numbered, or the sand of the sea measured, so will I make the seed of my servant David, and the Levites my servants.
23 O rĩngĩ ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyakinyĩrĩire Jeremia akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ,
And the word of the Lord 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.
Have you taken note of what these people have said, The two families, which the Lord took for himself, he has given up? This they say, looking down on my people as being, in their eyes, no longer a nation.
25 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Angĩkorwo ndiigĩte kĩrĩkanĩro gĩakwa na mũthenya na ũtukũ, o na mawatho marĩa marũmu ma igũrũ na thĩ-rĩ,
The Lord has said, If I have not made day and night, and if the limits of heaven and earth have not been fixed by me,
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 give up caring for the seed of Jacob and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will let their fate be changed and will have mercy on them.
