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:
And it came to pass, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, 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 thee a scroll, and write therein all the words which I have spoken unto thee concerning Israel and concerning Judah and concerning all the nations, —from the day I began to speak unto thee from the days of Josiah, even until 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.”
Peradventure, the house of Judah will hearken unto all the calamity, which I am devising to execute against them, —to the end they may return every man from his wicked way, whereupon I will 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.
So Jeremiah called Baruch, son of Neriah, —and Baruch wrote, from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of Yahweh which he had spoken unto him upon a scroll.
5 Hĩndĩ ĩyo Jeremia akĩĩra Baruku atĩrĩ, “Niĩ ndĩmuohe; ndingĩhota gũthiĩ hekarũ-inĩ ya Jehova.
Then did Jeremiah command Baruch, saying, —I, am hindered, I cannot enter the house of Yahweh;
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.
Thou, therefore shalt enter and read in the roll which thou hast written from my mouth the words of Yahweh in the ears of the people in the house of Yahweh on the day of a fast, —moreover also, in the ears of all Judah who are coming in out of their cities, shalt thou read them:
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.”
Peradventure, their supplication, will fall prostrate, before Yahweh, and they return every man from his wicked way, —For, great, are the anger and the indignation which Yahweh hath spoken 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.
So then Baruch son of Neriah did according to all which Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of Yahweh in the house of Yahweh.
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.
And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah in the ninth month, that all the people of Jerusalem, and all the people who were coming in out of the cities of Judah into Jerusalem, had proclaimed a fast before Yahweh;
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.
Baruch, therefore, read in the book the words of Jeremiah, in the house of Yahweh, —in the chamber of Gemariah son of Shaphan—the scribe, in the upper court, at the opening of the new gate of the house of Yahweh, 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, son of Gemariah son of Shaphan, heard all the words of Yahweh out of the book,
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.
then went he down unto the house of the king up to the chamber of the scribe, and lo! there, all the princes sitting, —Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan son of Achbor, and Gemariah son of Shaphan and Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the princes,
13 Mikaia aarĩkia kũmahe ũhoro wothe ũrĩa aiguĩte Baruku agĩthomera andũ kuuma ibuku-inĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo-rĩ,
So Micaiah told them all the words which he heard, —when Baruch read in the book in the ears 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.
All the princes, therefore sent unto Baruch, Jehudi, son of Nethaniah son of Shelemiah son of Cushi saying, The roll wherein thou didst read in the ears of the people, take it in thy hand, and come, So Baruch son of Neriah took the roll in his hand, and came in unto them.
15 Nao makĩmwĩra atĩrĩ, “Rĩu ta ikara thĩ, ũtũthomere.” Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Baruku akĩmathomera.
Then said they unto him, Sit down we pray thee 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.”
And it came to pass when they heard all the words, that they turned with fear one to another, —and said unto Baruch, We must, surely tell, the king, all these words!
17 Ningĩ magĩcooka makĩũria Baruku atĩrĩ, “Ta twĩre, maũndũ macio mothe wamandĩkire atĩa? Nĩ Jeremia wakwĩraga nawe ũkamaandĩka?”
Then unto Baruch, put they questions saying, —Tell us, we pray thee, How, didst thou 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.”
So Baruch said unto them, With his own mouth, used he to proclaim unto me all these words, —and I kept on writing in the book, with ink.
19 Nao anene acio makĩĩra Baruku atĩrĩ, “Wee na Jeremia thiĩi mwĩhithe. Mũtikareke mũndũ o na ũ amenye kũrĩa mũrĩ.”
Then said the princes unto Baruch, Go hide thee, thou and Jeremiah, and let no man, know where ye, 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.
Then went they in unto the king, into the court, but the roll, had they put in charge, in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, —so they declared in the ears of the king all the words.
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.
The king, therefore sent, Jehudi, to fetch the roll, and he fetched it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe, —and Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes who were standing near 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, —with the fire-stove before him burning.
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.
So then it came to pass when Jehudi had read three or four columns that he cut it up into fragments with a scribe’s knife, and cast them into the fire that was in the stove, —until, all the roll, was consumed on the fire that was on the stove.
24 Mũthamaki na andũ arĩa othe maamũtungataga arĩa maiguire mohoro macio matiigana gwĩtigĩra, o na kana magĩtembũranga nguo ciao.
Yet were they not in dread, neither rent they their garments, —the king, nor any of his servants that were hearing all these words.
25 O na gũtuĩka Elinathani, na Delia, na Gemaria nĩmathaithire mũthamaki ndagacine ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo-rĩ, nĩaregire kũmathikĩrĩria.
Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah, interceded with the king, not to burn the roll, —but he hearkened not unto 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.
Then did the king command Jerahmeel son of the king, and Seraiah son of Azriel, and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to fetch Baruch the scribe, and Jeremiah the prophet, —but Yahweh had 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 came the word of Yahweh unto Jeremiah, after the king had burned the roll, and the words which Baruch had written from 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.
Again take thee another roll, and write thereon, all the former words which were on the first roll, which Jehoiakim king of Judah hath 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?”
But unto Jehoiakim king of Judah, shalt thou say, Thus, saith Yahweh, —Thou, hast burned this roll saying, Why hast thou written thereon—saying, The king of Babylon shall, certainly, come and lay waste this land, and cause to cease therefrom man and beast?
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, saith Yahweh, Concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah, —He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David, —And, his dead body, shall be cast out—to the heat by day, and to the frost by night;
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.’”
And I will visit upon him and upon his seed and upon his servants the punishment of their iniquity, —and will bring upon them and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem and against, the men of Judah, all the calamity, which I have spoken against them but they have not hearkened.
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.
So, Jeremiah, took another roll and gave it unto Baruch son of Neriah the scribe, who wrote thereon, from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book, which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned, in the fire, —and further were added thereunto many words like unto them
