Jeremia 43

1 Rĩrĩa Jeremia aarĩkirie kũhe andũ acio ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova Ngai wao, ũhoro ũrĩa wothe Jehova aamũtũmĩte akameere-rĩ,

And it came to pass, that when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people all the words of YHWH their Elohim, for which YHWH their Elohim had sent him to them, even all these words,

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.’

Then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: YHWH our Elohim hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there:

3 No rĩrĩ, Baruku mũrũ wa Neria nĩwe ũkũringĩrĩirie ũtũũkĩrĩre, nĩguo tũneanwo kũrĩ andũ a Babuloni, nĩguo matũũrage, kana matũtahe, matũtware Babuloni.”

But Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us, for to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death, and carry us away captives into 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 the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of YHWH, to dwell 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.

But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all nations, whither they had been driven, to dwell in the land of Judah;

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.

Even men, and women, and children, and the king's daughters, and every person that Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah.

7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩthiĩ bũrũri wa Misiri, makĩremera Jehova, na magĩthiĩ o nginya Tahapanahesi.

So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of YHWH: thus came they even to Tahpanhes.

8 Na marĩ kũu Tahapanahesi, ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩgĩkinyĩra Jeremia, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:

Then came the word of YHWH unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,

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.

Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the clay in the brickkiln, which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;

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.

And say unto them, Thus saith YHWH of hosts, the Elohim of Israel; Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion 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.

And when he cometh, he shall smite the land of Egypt, and deliver such as are for death to death; and such as are for captivity to captivity; and such as are for the sword to 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.

And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the elohim of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captives: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from thence in peace.

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 shall break also the images of Beth-shemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the elohim of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire.
