Jeremia 48
1 Ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ bũrũri wa Moabi: Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Wũi-ĩiya, nĩ ũndũ Nebo nĩgũkwanangwo-ĩ. Kiriathaimu nĩgũgaconorithio na gũtunyanwo; kĩĩgitĩro kĩrĩa kĩrũmu nĩgĩgaconorithio na kĩharaganio.
Concerning Moab. Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Woe unto Nebo! for it is spoiled; Kirjathaim is put to shame, it is taken; Misgab is put to shame and dismayed.
2 Moabi gũtigacooka kũgaathĩrĩrio rĩngĩ; kũu Heshiboni andũ nĩmagathugunda ũrĩa megũgũũkĩrĩra, makoiga atĩrĩ: ‘Ũkai, nĩtũniinei rũrĩrĩ rũu.’ O nawe itũũra rĩa Madimeni-rĩ, nĩũgakirio ki; rũhiũ rwa njora nĩrũgagũtengʼeria.
Moab's praise is no more; in Heshbon they have devised evil against her: Come, and let us cut her off from [being] a nation. Thou also, O Madmen, shalt be cut down; the sword shall pursue thee.
3 Ta thikĩrĩria mbu ĩyo ĩroigwo kũu Horonaimu, mbu nĩ ũndũ wa kũniinanwo kũnene na mwanangĩko.
A voice of crying from Horonaim; wasting and great destruction!
4 Bũrũri wa Moabi nĩũkonũhwo: ciana ciakuo cia ngenge nĩikaarĩra ciugĩrĩirie.
Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
5 Marambata na njĩra ya gũthiĩ Luhithu, makĩrĩraga na ruo rũnene o magĩthiiaga; marĩ njĩra-inĩ ya gũikũrũka Horonaimu nĩmaiguĩte kĩrĩro kĩa ruo ruumĩte ngoro nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa kwanangĩtwo.
For by the ascent of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the descent of Horonaim is heard the anguish of the cry of destruction.
6 Mwĩtharei! Honokiai mĩoyo yanyu, tuĩkai ta kahinga karĩ werũ-inĩ.
Flee, save your lives, and be like a shrub in the wilderness.
7 Tondũ wa ũrĩa wee wĩhokete ciĩko ciaku o na ũtonga waku-rĩ, o nawe nĩũgatahwo, nayo ngai ĩrĩa ĩtagwo Kemoshu nĩĩgatwarwo ithaamĩrio, ĩrĩ hamwe na athĩnjĩri-ngai, o na anene a yo.
For because thou hast confided in thy works and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be taken, and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his princes together.
8 Mũniinani nĩagookĩrĩra itũũra o itũũra, na gũtirĩ itũũra rĩkahonoka. Gĩtuamba nĩgĩkaharaganio, naguo werũ ũrĩa mwaraganu wanangwo, tondũ Jehova nĩwe ugĩte ũguo.
And the waster shall come upon every city, that not a city shall escape; and the valley shall perish, and the plateau shall be destroyed: as Jehovah hath said.
9 Itĩrĩriai Moabi cumbĩ, tondũ nĩrĩkonũhwo; matũũra makuo nĩmagakira ihooru, kwage mũndũ o na ũmwe ũngĩmatũũra.
Give wings unto Moab, that she may flee and get away; and the cities thereof shall become a desolation, without inhabitant.
10 “Kũrumwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũkũruta wĩra wa Jehova arĩ na ũgũũta! Kũrumwo-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩa ũkũgirĩrĩria rũhiũ rwake rwa njora gũita thakame!
Cursed be he that doeth the work of Jehovah negligently, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood!
11 “Moabi atũũrĩte agaacĩire kuuma arĩ mwĩthĩ, ta ndibei ĩrĩa ĩĩkeerete, ĩkarika kĩnyita ĩtarĩ nyonoranie; we ndarĩ aatahwo agatwarwo bũrũri ũngĩ. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio mũcamo wake no ta ũrĩa warĩ tene, naguo mũtararĩko wake ndũrĩ wagarũrũka.
Moab hath been at ease from his youth, and hath settled on his lees; he hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste hath remained in him, and his scent is not changed.
12 No matukũ nĩmarooka, rĩrĩa ngaatũma andũ arĩa monoranagia moke, nao mamuonorerie thĩ; matige ndigithũ ciake irĩ theri, na moragaange nyũngũ ciake,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
Therefore behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that I will send unto him pourers that shall pour him off, and shall empty his vessels, and break in pieces his flagons.
13 “Hĩndĩ ĩyo Moabi nĩagaconoka nĩ ũndũ wa ngai ĩrĩa ĩtagwo Kemoshu, o ta ũrĩa nyũmba ya Isiraeli yaconokire, rĩrĩa meehokete Betheli.
And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their confidence.
14 “Mwakĩhota atĩa kuuga atĩrĩ, ‘Ithuĩ tũrĩ njamba irĩ hinya, andũ marĩ ũrũme ita-inĩ’?
How do ye say, We are mighty, and men of valour for the war?
15 Moabi nĩgũkanangwo na matũũra makuo matharĩkĩrwo; aanake ake arĩa ega mũno magaikũrũka rĩũraganĩro-inĩ makooragwo,” nĩguo Mũthamaki ekuuga, o we ũrĩa wĩtagwo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe.
Moab is laid waste, and his cities are gone up [in smoke], and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts.
16 “Kũgũa kwa Moabi nĩgũkinyu; mũtino wake nĩũgũũka o na ihenya.
The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.
17 Mũcakaĩrei inyuĩ arĩa othe mũtũũraga mũmũthiũrũrũkĩirie, inyuothe arĩa mũũĩ ngumo yake; ugai atĩrĩ, ‘Kaĩ rũthanju rwa ũnene nĩrunĩkangu-ĩ! Kaĩ mũthĩgi ũrĩa ũrĩ riiri nĩmunangĩku-ĩ!’
All ye that are about him, bemoan him; and all ye that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod!
18 “Harũrũkai mwehere riiri-inĩ ũcio wanyu, mũikare thĩ kũrĩa kũngʼaru, inyuĩ atũũri a kũu kwa Mwarĩ wa Diboni, nĩgũkorwo ũrĩa ũkaananga Moabi nĩakamũũkĩrĩra, aharaganie matũũra manyu marĩa mairigĩre na hinya.
Come down from [thy] glory and sit in the drought, O inhabitress, daughter of Dibon; the spoiler of Moab is come up against thee, thy strongholds hath he destroyed.
19 Rũgamai mũkĩra-inĩ wa barabara mwĩrorere, inyuĩ arĩa mũtũũraga Aroeri. Hooyai kĩrĩra harĩ mũndũ ũcio ũrethara, o na harĩ mũndũ-wa-nja ũcio ũroora, mũmoorie atĩrĩ, ‘Kaĩ gwĩkĩkĩte atĩa?’
Stand by the way, and watch, inhabitress of Aroer; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth; say, What is done?
20 Moabi nĩmũconorithie, nĩ ũndũ nĩmũhehenje. Kayũrũrũkai na mũrĩre! Heanai ũhoro ũcio kũu Arinoni, atĩ Moabi nĩ mwanange.
Moab is put to shame; for he is broken down: howl and cry; tell it in Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.
21 Matuĩro ma ciira nĩmakinyĩte bũrũri-inĩ ũrĩa mwaraganu: magakinya Holoni, na Jahaza, na Mefaathu,
And judgment is come upon the country of the plateau; upon Holon, and upon Jahzah, and upon Mephaath;
22 na magakinya Diboni, na Nebo, na Bethi-Dibilathaimu,
and upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth-diblathaim;
23 na magakinya Kiriathaimu, na Bethi-Gamuli, na Bethi-Meoni,
and upon Kirjathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon Beth-meon;
24 na magakinya Keriothu, na Bozara: ĩĩ, nginya matũũra mothe ma Moabi, marĩ kũraya na marĩ gũkuhĩ.
and upon Kerijoth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near.
25 Rũhĩa rwa Moabi nĩrũrengetwo; guoko gwake nĩ kuunĩtwo,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith Jehovah.
26 “Mũheei njoohi anyue arĩĩo, tondũ nĩangʼathĩirie Jehova. Moabi nĩarekwo egaragarie matahĩko-inĩ make; nĩarekwo atuĩke kĩndũ gĩa gũthekererwo.
Make him drunken, for he magnified himself against Jehovah; and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
27 Githĩ Isiraeli ndatuĩkĩte kĩndũ gĩa gũthekererwo nĩwe? Kaĩ aanyiitirwo arĩ gatagatĩ ka aici, atĩ nĩkĩo ũinagia kĩongo nĩkũmũnyarara, rĩrĩa rĩothe ũkwaria ũhoro wake?
For was not Israel a derision unto thee? Was he found among thieves, that as oft as thou didst speak of him, thou didst shake the head?
28 Tiganĩriai matũũra manyu mũgatũũre ndwaro-inĩ cia mahiga, inyuĩ arĩa mũtũũraga Moabi. Tuĩkai ta ndutura ĩrĩa ĩyakagĩra gĩtara mũromo-inĩ wa ngurunga.
Leave the cities, and dwell in the rocks, ye inhabitants of Moab, and be like the dove, that maketh her nest in the sides of the cave's mouth.
29 “Nĩtũiguĩte ũhoro wa mwĩtĩĩo wa Moabi, ũrĩa aarĩ mwĩĩkĩrĩri na akeyona, tũkaigua ũhoro wa mwĩtĩĩo wake o na mwĩtũũgĩrio, o na tũkaigua ũhoro wa mwĩgaatho wa ngoro yake.
We have heard of the arrogance of Moab, — [he is] very proud; — his loftiness, and his arrogance, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.
30 Nĩnjũũĩ rũngʼathio rwake, no nĩ rwa tũhũ, naguo mwĩraho wake ndũrĩ ũndũ ũhingĩtie,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
I know his wrath, saith Jehovah; his pratings are vain: they do not as [they say].
31 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩndĩrarĩrĩra Moabi, nĩ Moabi guothe ndĩrarĩrĩra, ndĩracakaĩra andũ a Kiri-Haresethi.
Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab: for the men of Kir-heres shall there be moaning.
32 Ndĩrarĩra nĩ ũndũ wanyu, o ta ũrĩa Jazeri arĩraga, inyuĩ mĩthabibũ ya Sibima. Honge cianyu itambũrũkĩte igakinya iria-inĩ; itambũrũkĩte nginya iria-inĩ rĩa Jazeri. Mũniinani nĩagũĩrĩire matunda maku marĩa meeru, o na akagwĩra thabibũ.
O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with more than the weeping of Jaazer: thy shoots passed over the sea, they reached to the sea of Jaazer. The spoiler is fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon thy vintage.
33 Gĩkeno na gũcanjamũka nĩithirĩte kũu mĩgũnda-inĩ ya matunda, o na kũu mĩgũnda-inĩ ya Moabi. Nĩndũmĩte ndibei yage ihihĩro-inĩ ciayo; gũtirĩ mũndũ ũhihaga thabibũ kuo arĩ na mbugĩrĩrio ya gĩkeno. O na gũtuĩka nĩ kũrĩ na mbugĩrĩrio, ti mbugĩrĩrio cia gĩkeno.
And joy and gladness is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: they shall no more tread with shouting; the shouting shall be no shouting.
34 “Mĩgambo ya kĩrĩro kĩao ĩraiguuo kuuma Heshiboni o nginya Eleale na Jahazu, na kuuma Zoari o nginya Horonaimu na Egilathu-Shelishiya, tondũ o na maaĩ ma Nimurimu nĩmahũĩte.
Because of the cry from Heshbon, unto Elaleh, unto Jahaz have they uttered their voice, from Zoar unto Horonaim, [unto] Eglath-shelishijah: for even the waters of Nimrim shall become desolations.
35 Kũu Moabi nĩnganiina arĩa othe marutagĩra maruta kũndũ kũrĩa gũtũũgĩru, na magacinĩra ngai ciao ũbumba,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
And I will cause to cease in Moab, saith Jehovah, him that offereth in the high place, and him that burneth incense to his gods.
36 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio ngoro yakwa nĩĩracakaĩra Moabi, nganĩrĩra o ta mũtũrirũ; ĩracakaya yanĩrĩire ta mũtũrirũ nĩ ũndũ wa andũ a Kiri-Haresethi, tondũ ũtonga ũrĩa megĩrĩire nĩmũthiru biũ.
Therefore my heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and my heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kir-heres; because the abundance that he hath gotten is perished.
37 Mĩtwe yothe nĩmĩenje na nderu ciothe cikenjwo; guoko guothe nĩgũteme, na njohero o yothe ĩhumbĩtwo na nguo ya ikũnia.
For every head is bald, and every beard clipped; upon all the hands are cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.
38 Nyũmba-igũrũ guothe kũu Moabi, o na kũu iwanja-inĩ cia mũingĩ, gũtirĩ ũndũ ũngĩ tiga o gũcakaya, nĩgũkorwo nĩnjũragĩte Moabi o ta ndigithũ ya rĩũmba ĩrĩa ĩtangĩendeka nĩ mũndũ,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
It is wholly lamentation upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the public places thereof; for I have broken Moab, like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, saith Jehovah.
39 “Hĩ! Kaĩ nĩkũmomore-ĩ! Kaĩ nĩmararĩra-ĩ! Kaĩ Moabi nĩahũndũkĩte na thuutha nĩ thoni-ĩ! Moabi atuĩkĩte kĩndũ gĩa gũthekererwo, na agatuĩka kĩndũ kĩrĩ magigi harĩ arĩa othe mamũrigiicĩirie.”
They howl, How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! And Moab shall be a derision and a terror to all that are round about him.
40 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Atĩrĩrĩ! Nderi nĩĩracuuhũka, ĩtambũrũkĩtie mathagu mayo igũrũ rĩa Moabi.
For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread forth his wings over Moab.
41 Keriothu nĩgũgũtunyanwo, nacio ciĩhitho iria cia hinya kuo itahwo. Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, ngoro cia njamba iria irĩ hinya cia Moabi igaatuĩka ta ngoro ya mũndũ-wa-nja akĩrũmwo.
Kerijoth is taken, and the strongholds are seized, and at that day the heart of the mighty men of Moab shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42 Moabi nĩakaniinwo atige gũtuĩka rũrĩrĩ rĩngĩ, tondũ nĩangʼathĩirie Jehova.
And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he hath magnified himself against Jehovah.
43 Inyuĩ andũ a Moabi, guoya, na kũgũa marima, o na kũgwatio na mĩtego nĩcio imwetereire,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
Fear, and the pit, and the snare shall be upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith Jehovah.
44 “Ũrĩa wothe ũkoora nĩ ũndũ wa guoya, ũcio akaagũa irima, nake ũrĩa ũkaahaica oime irima-rĩ, akaagwatio nĩ mũtego; nĩ ũndũ nĩngũtũma Moabi akinyĩrwo nĩ mwaka wa kũherithio,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
He that fleeth from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon her, upon Moab, the year of their visitation, saith Jehovah.
45 “Andũ arĩa metharĩte makoorĩra ciĩruru-inĩ cia Heshiboni matirĩ na ũteithio, nĩgũkorwo mwaki nĩumĩte Heshiboni, rũrĩrĩmbĩ rũkoima gatagatĩ ka Sihoni; rũracina mothiũ ma Moabi, na rũgacina ciongo cia acio merahaga makarehe ngũĩ.
They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon powerless; for a fire hath come forth from Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and hath consumed the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the sons of tumult.
46 Wee Moabi, kaĩ ũrĩ na haaro-ĩ! Andũ a Kemoshu nĩaniine; aanake aku manyiitĩtwo mĩgwate magathaamio nao airĩtu aku magatahwo.
Woe to thee, Moab! The people of Chemosh is undone; for thy sons are taken away in captivity, and thy daughters are captives.
47 “No rĩrĩ, nĩngacookia ũgaacĩru wa Moabi matukũ-inĩ marĩa magooka,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. Hau nĩho mũthia wa ituĩro rĩa Moabi.
But I will turn the captivity of Moab at the end of the days, saith Jehovah. Thus far is the judgement of Moab.
