Jeremia 43
1 Rĩrĩa Jeremia aarĩkirie kũhe andũ acio ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova Ngai wao, ũhoro ũrĩa wothe Jehova aamũtũmĩte akameere-rĩ,
After Jeremiah finished telling everyone all that the Lord their God had send him to say,
2 Azaria mũrũ wa Hoshaia, na Johanani mũrũ wa Karea, marĩ hamwe na andũ othe arĩa etĩĩi, makĩĩra Jeremia atĩrĩ, “Wee nĩũraheenania! Jehova Ngai witũ ndagũtũmĩte ũũke ũtwĩre atĩrĩ, ‘Mũtikanathiĩ bũrũri wa Misiri gũtũũra kuo.’
Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and all the proud and rebellious men told Jeremiah, “You're lying! The Lord our God hasn't sent you to tell us, ‘You are not to go and live in Egypt.’
3 No rĩrĩ, Baruku mũrũ wa Neria nĩwe ũkũringĩrĩirie ũtũũkĩrĩre, nĩguo tũneanwo kũrĩ andũ a Babuloni, nĩguo matũũrage, kana matũtahe, matũtware Babuloni.”
No, it's Baruch son of Neriah who's turned you against us in order to hand us over to the Babylonians so they can kill us or exile us to Babylon!”
4 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Johanani mũrũ wa Karea marĩ hamwe na anene othe a mbũtũ cia ita, o na andũ othe, makĩrega gwathĩkĩra watho wa Jehova wa gũikara kũu bũrũri wa Juda.
So Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders refused to obey the Lord's command to stay in the land of Judah.
5 Handũ ha ũguo, Johanani mũrũ wa Karea hamwe na anene othe a mbũtũ cia ita magĩtongoria matigari mothe ma andũ a Juda, o acio macookete nĩguo maikare kũu bũrũri wa Juda moimĩte ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ ciothe kũrĩa mahurunjĩtwo.
Instead, Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders took with them all who were left of the people of Judah, those who had returned to the country from all the nations where they had been scattered.
6 Ningĩ magĩtongoria arũme othe, na andũ-a-nja na ciana, o na airĩtu a mũthamaki acio Nebuzaradani mũnene wa arangĩri a mũthamaki aatigĩire Gedalia mũrũ wa Ahikamu, mũrũ wa Shafani, o na magĩtongoria Jeremia ũcio mũnabii, na Baruku mũrũ wa Neria.
These included men, women, and children, the king's daughters, and everyone Nebuzaradan the commander of the guard had allowed to remain with Gedaliah, as well as Jeremiah and Baruch.
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩthiĩ bũrũri wa Misiri, makĩremera Jehova, na magĩthiĩ o nginya Tahapanahesi.
They went to Egypt because they refused to obey the Lord's command. They went all the way to Tahpanhes.
8 Na marĩ kũu Tahapanahesi, ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩgĩkinyĩra Jeremia, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
A message from Lord came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes:
9 “Oya mahiga manene na guoko gwaku, Ayahudi makwĩroreire, ũthiĩ ũmathike na rĩũmba hau nja haarĩtwo maturubarĩ itoonyero-inĩ rĩa nyũmba ya Firaũni kũu Tahapanahesi.
As the people of Judah watch, get some large stones and set them into the cement of the brick pavement in the entrance way to Pharaoh's palace at Tahpanhes.
10 Hĩndĩ ĩyo ũmeere atĩrĩ, ‘Ũũ nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga: Nĩngũtũmanĩra ndungata yakwa Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni, na nĩngahaanda gĩtĩ gĩake kĩa ũthamaki igũrũ rĩa mahiga maya ndathika haha; nĩakamba hema yake ya ũnene igũrũ rĩamo.
Tell them that this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: I'm going to send for my servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and bring him here. I will place his throne over these stones that I have set into the pavement, and he will spread out his royal tent over them.
11 Nĩagooka atharĩkĩre bũrũri wa Misiri, oragithie andũ arĩa maathĩrĩirio gũkua, na atũme arĩa maathĩrĩirio gũtahwo matahwo, nao arĩa maathĩrĩirio kũũragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora mooragwo naruo.
He will come and attack Egypt, bringing death to those destined to die, imprisonment to those destined to be imprisoned, and the sword to those destined to be killed by the sword.
12 Nĩagacina hekarũ cia ngai cia Misiri; agaacina hekarũ ciao na atahe ngai ciao. O ta ũrĩa mũrĩithi ehumbaga nguo yake, noguo akehumba bũrũri wa Misiri, acooke oime kuo atarĩ mũhutie.
I will set fire to the temples of the gods of Egypt. Nebuchadnezzar will burn them and loot their idols. He will pick the land of Egypt clean like a shepherd picks his cloak clean of fleas, and he will leave unharmed.
13 Nĩakoinanga itugĩ iria ihooyagwo, iria irĩ thĩinĩ wa hekarũ ya riũa kũu bũrũri wa Misiri, na acooke acine hekarũ cia ngai cia bũrũri wa Misiri ithire.’”
He will knock down the sacred pillars of the temple of the sun in Egypt, and he will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt.
