Jeremia 36
1 Mwaka-inĩ wa ĩna kuuma Jehoiakimu mũrũ wa Josia atuĩka mũthamaki wa Juda-rĩ, ndũmĩrĩri ĩno nĩyakinyĩire Jeremia yumĩte harĩ Jehova, akĩĩrwo ũũ:
It happened in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
2 “Oya ibuku rĩa gĩkũnjo wandĩke thĩinĩ warĩo mohoro marĩa mothe ngũheete makoniĩ Isiraeli na Juda, o hamwe na ndũrĩrĩ iria ingĩ ciothe, kuuma ihinda rĩrĩa ndambĩrĩirie gũkwarĩria hĩndĩ ya wathani wa Josia, o nginya ũmũthĩ.
"Take a scroll, and write on it all the words that I have spoken to you against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke to you, from the days of Josiah, even to this day.
3 Hihi rĩrĩa andũ a Juda makaigua ũhoro wa mwanangĩko ũrĩa wothe njiirĩire kũmarehithĩria-rĩ, mũndũ o mũndũ wao ahota kũgarũrũka atigane na mĩthiĩre yake ya waganu; na niĩ nĩngamarekera waganu wao na mehia mao.”
It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do to them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin."
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jeremia agĩĩta Baruku mũrũ wa Neria, nake Jeremia akĩmwĩra maũndũ marĩa mothe Jehova aamwarĩirie, nake Baruku akamandĩka ibuku-inĩ rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo.
Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah; and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of Jehovah, which he had spoken to him, on a scroll.
5 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jeremia akĩĩra Baruku atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩmuohe; ndingĩhota gũthiĩ hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova.
Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, "I am shut up; I can't go into the house of Jehovah:
6 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio thiĩ arĩ we kũu nyũmba-inĩ ya Jehova mũthenya ũmwe ũrĩa kwĩhingagwo kũrĩa irio, nawe ũthomere andũ acio kuuma ibuku-inĩ rĩĩrĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo maũndũ marĩa maarĩtio nĩ Jehova, macio wee wandĩkire o ta ũrĩa niĩ ndaakwĩraga wandĩke.
therefore you go, and read from the scroll, which you have written from my mouth, the words of Jehovah in the ears of the people in Jehovah's house on the fast day; and also you shall read them in the ears of all Judah who come out of their cities.
7 Hihi maahota kũrehe mathaithana mao harĩ Jehova, na o mũndũ wao atigane na mĩthiĩre yake ya waganu, nĩ ũndũ marakara na mangʼũrĩ marĩa matuĩrĩirwo andũ aya nĩ Jehova nĩ manene.”
It may be they will present their petition before Jehovah, and will return everyone from his evil way; for great is the anger and the wrath that Jehovah has pronounced against this people."
8 Nake Baruku mũrũ wa Neria nĩekire ũrĩa wothe Jeremia ũrĩa mũnabii aamwĩrĩte eeke; agĩthoma ndũmĩrĩri ĩyo ya Jehova kũu thĩinĩ wa hekarũ kuuma ibuku-inĩ rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo.
Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading from the scroll the words of Jehovah in Jehovah's house.
9 Na rĩrĩ, mweri-inĩ wa kenda wa mwaka wa ĩtano wa wathani wa Jehoiakimu mũrũ wa Josia mũthamaki wa Juda, ihinda rĩa kwĩhinga kũrĩa irio mbere ya Jehova nĩrĩanĩrĩirwo kũrĩ andũ othe a Jerusalemu, o na arĩa angĩ othe mookĩte kuuma matũũra ma Juda.
Now it happened in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people who came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem, proclaimed a fast before Jehovah.
10 Kuuma kanyũmba-inĩ ka Gemaria mũrũ wa Shafani ũrĩa mwandĩki, karĩa kaarĩ o kũu nja ya na igũrũ, itoonyero-inĩ rĩa Kĩhingo kĩrĩa Kĩerũ kĩa hekarũ, Baruku agĩthomera andũ othe ciugo cia Jeremia kuuma ibuku-inĩ rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo kũu hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova.
Then Baruch read from the scroll the words of Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah, in the room of Gemariah the son of Shaphan, the scribe, in the upper court, at the entry of the New Gate of Jehovah's house, in the ears of all the people.
11 Rĩrĩa Mikaia mũrũ wa Gemaria, mũrũ wa Shafani aiguire ndũmĩrĩri ĩyo ya Jehova yothe kuuma ibuku-inĩ rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo-rĩ,
When Micaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard from the scroll all the words of Jehovah,
12 agĩikũrũka agĩtoonya kanyũmba-inĩ ka mwandĩki karĩa kaarĩ kũu nyũmba-inĩ ya ũthamaki, harĩa anene othe maikarĩte, nao nĩo: Elishama ũrĩa mwandĩki, na Delia mũrũ wa Shemaia, na Elinathani mũrũ wa Akibori, na Gemaria mũrũ wa Shafani, na Zedekia mũrũ wa Hanania, na anene arĩa angĩ othe.
he went down into the king's house, into the scribe's room: and look, all the officials were sitting there, Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the officials.
13 Mikaia aarĩkia kũmahe ũhoro wothe ũrĩa aiguĩte Baruku agĩthomera andũ kuuma ibuku-inĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo-rĩ,
Then Micaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the scroll in the hearing of the people.
14 anene acio othe magĩtũma Jehudi mũrũ wa Nethania, mũrũ wa Shelemia, mũrũ wa Kushi, athiĩ akeere Baruku atĩrĩ, “Oya ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo, rĩu ũthomeire andũ, ũũke narĩo.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Baruku mũrũ wa Neria agĩthiĩ hau maarĩ anyiitĩte ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo na guoko gwake.
Therefore all the officials sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, "Take in your hand the scroll in which you have read in the ears of the people, and come." So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand, and came to them.
15 Nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rĩu ta ikara thĩ, ũtũthomere.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Baruku akĩmathomera.
They said to him, "Sit down now, and read it in our ears." So Baruch read it in their ears.
16 Rĩrĩa maaiguire mohoro macio mothe, makĩrorana marĩ na guoya, makĩĩra Baruku atĩrĩ, “No nginya tũkinyĩrie mũthamaki ũhoro ũcio wothe.”
Now it happened, when they had heard all the words, they turned in fear one toward another, and said to Baruch, "We will surely tell the king of all these words."
17 Ningĩ magĩcooka makĩũria Baruku atĩrĩ, “Ta twĩre, maũndũ macio mothe wamandĩkire atĩa? Nĩ Jeremia wakwĩraga nawe ũkamaandĩka?”
They asked Baruch, saying, "Tell us now, How did you write all these words at his mouth?"
18 Baruku akĩmacookeria atĩrĩ, “Ĩĩ, nĩwe wanjĩĩraga mohoro macio mothe, na niĩ ngamaandĩka na rangi ibuku-inĩ rĩĩrĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo.”
Then Baruch answered them, "He pronounced all these words to me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink on the scroll."
19 Nao anene acio makĩĩra Baruku atĩrĩ, “Wee na Jeremia thiĩi mwĩhithe. Mũtikareke mũndũ o na ũ amenye kũrĩa mũrĩ.”
Then the officials said to Baruch, "Go, hide, you and Jeremiah; and let no man know where you are."
20 Maarĩkia kũiga ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo kanyũmba-inĩ ka Elishama, ũrĩa mwandĩki, magĩtoonya harĩa mũthamaki aarĩ kũu nyũmba yake ya thĩinĩ makĩmũhe ũhoro ũcio wothe.
They went in to the king into the court; but they had put the scroll in the room of Elishama the scribe; and they told all the words in the ears of the king.
21 Mũthamaki nake agĩtũma Jehudi agĩĩre ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo, nake Jehudi akĩrĩrehe kuuma kanyũmba-inĩ ka Elishama, ũrĩa mwandĩki, akĩrĩthomera mũthamaki na anene acio othe marũgamĩte hau harĩ mũthamaki.
So the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll; and he took it out of the room of Elishama the scribe. Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the officials who stood beside the king.
22 Kwarĩ mweri wa kenda, nake mũthamaki aikarĩte nyũmba-inĩ ĩrĩa aikaraga hĩndĩ ya kĩmera kĩa heho, na haarĩ na mwaki waakanaga riiko-inĩ hau mbere yake.
Now the king was sitting in the winter house in the ninth month: and there was a fire in the brazier burning before him.
23 Jehudi aathoma icigo ithatũ kana inya cia ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo-rĩ, mũthamaki nake agacitinia na kahiũ ka mwandĩki, agacikia riiko-inĩ, o nginya rĩrĩa ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo rĩacinirwo rĩothe.
It happened, when Jehudi had read three or four columns, that the king cut it with a knife, and cast it into the fire that was in the brazier, until all the scroll was consumed in the fire that was in the brazier.
24 Mũthamaki na andũ arĩa othe maamũtungataga arĩa maiguire mohoro macio matiigana gwĩtigĩra, o na kana magĩtembũranga nguo ciao.
They were not afraid, nor tore their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants who heard all these words.
25 O na gũtuĩka Elinathani, na Delia, na Gemaria nĩmathaithire mũthamaki ndagacine ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo-rĩ, nĩaregire kũmathikĩrĩria.
Moreover Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the scroll; but he would not hear them.
26 Handũ ha ũguo, mũthamaki agĩatha Jerameeli, mũrũ ũmwe wa mũthamaki, na Seraia mũrũ wa Azirieli, na Shelemia mũrũ wa Abideli, nĩguo manyiite Baruku ũcio mwandĩki, na Jeremia ũrĩa mũnabii. No rĩrĩ, Jehova nĩamahithĩte.
The king commanded Jerahmeel the king's son, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet; but Jehovah hid them.
27 Thuutha wa mũthamaki gũcina ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo rĩrĩa rĩandĩkĩtwo mohoro nĩ Baruku ta ũrĩa eerĩtwo nĩ Jeremia andĩke-rĩ, ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova nĩyakinyĩrĩire Jeremia, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
Then the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the scroll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,
28 “Oya ibuku rĩngĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo wandĩke thĩinĩ warĩo mohoro marĩa mothe maarĩ ibuku-nĩ rĩu rĩa mbere, rĩu Jehoiakimu mũthamaki wa Juda aacinire.
"Take again another scroll, and write on it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim the king of Judah has burned.
29 Ningĩ wĩre Jehoiakimu mũthamaki wa Juda atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Nĩwacinire ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo, ũkĩũria atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte wandĩke atĩ, ti-itherũ mũthamaki wa Babuloni nĩagooka kwananga bũrũri ũyũ na eherie andũ na nyamũ kuo?”
Concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah you shall say, 'Thus says Jehovah: "You have burned this scroll, saying, 'Why have you written in it, saying, "The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from there man and animal?"'"
30 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ ũndũ ũkoniĩ Jehoiakimu mũthamaki wa Juda: Ndakagĩa na mũndũ wa gũikarĩra gĩtĩ kĩa ũnene kĩa Daudi; kĩimba gĩake gĩgaateeo, na kĩanĩkĩrwo riũa mũthenya, na kĩhĩe nĩ mbaa ũtukũ.
Therefore thus says Jehovah concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: "He shall have none to sit on the throne of David; and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
31 Nĩngamũherithia we hamwe na ciana ciake, na arĩa mamũtungataga, nĩ ũndũ wa waganu wao; nĩngarehithĩria arĩa othe matũũraga Jerusalemu na andũ a Juda mwanangĩko ũrĩa wothe ndaaririe ũhoro waguo ũmakoniĩ, tondũ nĩmagĩte gũthikĩrĩria.’”
I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring on them, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and on the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they did not listen."'"
32 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jeremia akĩoya ibuku rĩngĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo, akĩrĩnengera Baruku mũrũ wa Neria ũcio mwandĩki, nake akĩandĩka ibuku-inĩ rĩu mohoro mothe marĩa aacookire kũheo nĩ Jeremia, o macio maandĩkĩtwo ibuku-inĩ rĩrĩa Jehoiakimu mũthamaki wa Juda aacinĩte na mwaki; na hakĩongererwo mohoro mangĩ maingĩ maahaanaine na macio ma mbere.
Then Jeremiah took another scroll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who wrote on it at the instruction of Jeremiah all the words of the scroll which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire; and there were added besides to them many like words.
