< Jeremia 35 >
1 Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa yakinyĩrĩire Jeremia yumĩte kũrĩ Jehova hĩndĩ ya wathani wa Jehoiakimu mũrũ wa Josia, mũthamaki wa Juda, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
And it came to pass in the fourth year of Sedekias king of Juda, in the fifth month, [that] Ananias the false prophet, the son of Azor, from Gabaon, spoke to me in the house of the Lord, in the sight of the priests and all the people, saying,
2 “Thiĩ kũrĩ andũ a nyũmba ya Rekabu, ũmeere moke kanyũmba-inĩ kamwe ga tũtũ tũrĩ rwere-inĩ rwa nyũmba ya Jehova, nawe ũmahe ndibei manyue.”
Thus says the Lord; I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
3 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngĩthiĩ ngĩgĩĩra Jaazania mũrũ wa Jeremia mũrũ wa Habazania, hamwe na ariũ a ithe, o na ariũ ake othe, na andũ a nyũmba ĩyo yothe ya Rekabu.
Yet two full years, and I will return into this place the vessels of the house of the Lord,
4 Ngĩmarehe thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Jehova, ngĩmatoonyia kanyũmba ka ariũ a Hanani mũrũ wa Igidalia, mũndũ wa Ngai. Kanyũmba kau kaariganĩtie na kanyũmba ka anene, karĩa kaarĩ hau igũrũ rĩa nyũmba ya Maaseia mũrũ wa Shalumu, ũrĩa warĩ mũikaria wa mũrango.
and Jechonias, and the captivity of Juda: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
5 Ngĩcooka ngĩiga mbakũri ciyũrĩte ndibei, o na ngĩiga ikombe mbere ya andũ acio a nyũmba ya Rekabu, ngĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nyuai ndibei ĩno.”
Then Jeremias spoke to Ananias in the sight of all the people, and in the sight of the priests that stood in the house of the Lord,
6 No-o magĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Ithuĩ tũtinyuuaga ndibei, nĩ ũndũ ithe witũ wa tene, Jonadabu mũrũ wa Rekabu, nĩatũtigĩire watho, akiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Mũtikananyue ndibei, inyuĩ ene kana njiaro cianyu.
and Jeremias said, May the Lord indeed do thus; may he confirm your word which you do prophesy, to return the vessels of the house of the Lord, and all the captivity, out of Babylon to this place.
7 Ningĩ-rĩ, mũtikanaake nyũmba, kana mũhaande mbeũ, kana mũhaande mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ; mũtikanagĩe na kĩndũ o na kĩmwe kĩa indo icio, no rĩrĩ, mũgũtũũra mũikaraga hema-inĩ. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩmũgatũũra matukũ maingĩ bũrũri ũyũ mũikaraga ta mũrĩ ageni.’
Nevertheless hear you the word of the Lord which I speak in your ears, and in the ears of all the people.
8 Nĩtũtũũrĩte twathĩkĩire ũndũ o wothe ũrĩa ithe witũ wa tene Jonadabu mũrũ wa Rekabu aatwathire. Gũtirĩ mũndũ witũ ithuĩ, kana atumia aitũ, kana ariũ na airĩtu aitũ, ũrĩ wanyua ndibei,
The prophets that were before me and before you of old, also prophesied over much country, and against great kingdoms, concerning war.
9 kana agĩaka nyũmba ya gũtũũrwo, kana akĩgĩa mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ, kana ithaka, o na kana akehaandĩra irio.
[As for] the prophet that has prophesied for peace, when the word has come [to pass], they shall know the prophet whom the Lord has sent them in truth.
10 Tũtũũrĩte hema-inĩ twathĩkagĩra ũrĩa wothe ithe witũ wa tene Jonadabu aatwathire.
Then Ananias took the yokes from the neck of Jeremias in the sight of all the people, and broke them to pieces.
11 No rĩrĩa Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni aahithũkĩire bũrũri ũyũ, nĩtwoigire atĩrĩ: ‘Ũkĩrai, no nginya tũthiĩ Jerusalemu tũũrĩre mbũtũ cia ita cia Babuloni na cia Asuriata.’ Nĩ ũndũ ũcio tũkoretwo tũgĩikara gũkũ Jerusalemu.”
And Ananias spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus said the Lord; Thus will I break the yoke of the king of Babylon from the necks of all the nations. And Jeremias went his way.
12 Ningĩ ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩgĩkinyĩra Jeremia, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, after that Ananias had broken the yokes off his neck, saying,
13 “Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ: Thiĩ ũkeere andũ a Juda na arĩa othe matũũraga Jerusalemu atĩrĩ: ‘Kaĩ inyuĩ mũtangĩĩruta ũndũ nĩguo mwathĩkĩre ciugo ciakwa?’ ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
Go and speak to Ananias, saying, Thus says the Lord; You have broken the yokes of wood; but I will make instead of them yokes of iron.
14 ‘Jonadabu mũrũ wa Rekabu aathire ariũ ake matikananyue ndibei, naguo watho ũcio wake matũũrĩte maũhingagia. O na nginya ũmũthĩ matinyuuaga ndibei, nĩgũkorwo nĩmathĩkagĩra watho ũcio wa ithe wao wa tene. No rĩrĩ, inyuĩ ndĩmwarĩirie kaingĩ kaingĩ, no mũtirĩ mwanjathĩkĩra.
For thus said the Lord, I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all the nations, that they may serve the king of Babylon.
15 Ndĩmũtũmĩire ndungata ciakwa ciothe cia anabii kaingĩ kaingĩ. Nao mamwĩraga atĩrĩ, “Mũndũ o wothe wanyu no nginya atigane na mĩthiĩre yake ya waganu na aagĩrie ciĩko ciake; tigai kũrũmĩrĩra ngai ingĩ kana gũcitungatagĩra. Na inyuĩ nĩmũgatũũra bũrũri ũyũ ndaamũheire inyuĩ o na maithe manyu.” No inyuĩ mũtiigana kũrũmbũiya ũhoro ũcio kana gũũthikĩrĩria.
And Jeremias said to Ananias, The Lord has not sent you; and you have caused this people to trust in unrighteousness.
16 Njiaro icio cia Jonadabu mũrũ wa Rekabu nĩihingĩtie watho ũcio ithe wao wa tene aacitigĩire, no andũ aya matinjathĩkĩire.’
Therefore thus said the Lord: Behold, I [will] cast you off from the face of the earth: this year you shall die.
17 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Jehova Ngai Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Ta thikĩrĩriai! Nĩngũrehithĩria Juda o na mũndũ wothe ũtũũraga Jerusalemu mwanangĩko ũrĩa wothe ndoigire nĩngamarehere. Niĩ ndaamaarĩirie, no-o makĩrega gũthikĩrĩria; ndaametire no-o makĩrega kũnjĩtĩka.’”
So he died in the seventh month.
18 Nake Jeremia agĩcooka akĩĩra andũ a nyũmba ya Rekabu atĩrĩ, “Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Inyuĩ nĩmwathĩkĩire watho wa Jonadabu, ithe wanyu wa tene, na mũkarũmĩrĩra mataaro make mothe, na nĩmwĩkĩte ũrĩa wothe aamwathire.’
19 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ: ‘Jonadabu mũrũ wa Rekabu ndarĩ hĩndĩ akaaga mũndũ wa kũndungatĩra.’”
