Jeremia 49
1 Ũhoro ũkoniĩ andũ a Amoni: Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Kaĩ Isiraeli atarĩ na aanake? Ndarĩ na andũ a kũmũgaya? Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgĩtũmĩte Moleku egwatĩre bũrũri wa Gadi? Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte andũ ake matũũre matũũra-inĩ makuo?”
Then came all the leaders of the host, and Joanan, and Azarias the son of Maasaeas, and all the people great and small,
2 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “No rĩrĩ, matukũ nĩmarooka rĩrĩa ngoigithia mbu ya mbaara ya gũũkĩrĩra Raba kũu kwa andũ a Amoni; nakuo gũgaatuĩka hĩba ya mwanangĩko, natuo tũtũũra tũrĩa tũkũrigiicĩirie tũcinwo na mwaki. Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩguo Isiraeli akaingata andũ arĩa maamũingatĩte,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
to Jeremias the prophet, and said to him, Let now our supplication come before thy face, and pray thou to the Lord thy God for this remnant; for we are left few out of many, as thine eyes see.
3 “Wee Heshiboni, girĩka, nĩgũkorwo Ai nĩ kwanange! Rĩrai, inyuĩ mũtũũraga Raba! Mwĩhumbei nguo cia makũnia mũcakae; Tengʼerai ũũ na ũũ kũu thingo-inĩ ciakuo, nĩgũkorwo Moleku nĩegũtahwo atwarwo bũrũri ũngĩ, hamwe na athĩnjĩri-ngai na anene ake.
And let the Lord thy God declare to us the way wherein we should walk, and the thing which we should do.
4 Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmaga wĩrahĩre ituamba ciaku, ũkeraha nĩ ũndũ wa ituamba ciaku icio noru mũno? Wee mwarĩ ũyũ ũtarĩ mwĩhokeku, wee ũtũũrĩte wĩhokete ũtonga waku ũkiugaga atĩrĩ, ‘Nũũ ũngĩĩtharĩkĩra?’
And Jeremias said to them, I have heard [you]; behold, I will pray for you to the Lord our God, according to your words; and it shall come to pass, [that] whatsoever word the Lord God shall answer, I will declare [it] to you; I will not hide anything from you.
5 Nĩngakũrehithĩria imakania kuuma kũrĩ arĩa othe makũrigiicĩirie,” nĩguo Mwathani ekuuga, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe. “Andũ othe anyu nĩmakaingatwo, na gũtikagĩa na mũndũ wa gũcookereria andũ acio mahurunjũkĩte.
And they said to Jeremias, Let the Lord be between us for a just and faithful witness, if we do not according to every word which the Lord shall send to us.
6 “No rĩrĩ, thuutha-inĩ nĩngacookia ũgaacĩru wa andũ a Amoni,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
And whether [it be] good, or whether [it be] evil, we will hearken to the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us, because we shall hearken to the voice of the Lord our God.
7 Ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ Edomu: Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Kaĩ gũtarĩ na ũũgĩ ũtigarĩte kũu Temani? Kaĩ kĩrĩra gĩthirĩte harĩ andũ arĩa akuũku? Kaĩ ũũgĩ wao ũbuthĩte biũ?
And it came to pass after ten days, [that] the word of the Lord came to Jeremias.
8 Garũrũkai mwĩthare, mũthiĩ mũkehithe thĩinĩ wa ngurunga iria ndiku, inyuĩ arĩa mũtũũraga kũu Dedani, tondũ nĩngarehithĩria Esaũ mwanangĩko rĩrĩa ngaamũherithia.
And he called Joanan, and the leaders of the host, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
9 Agethi a thabibũ mangĩũka kũrĩ we-rĩ, githĩ to matigie tũthabibũ tũnini? Aici mangĩũka ũtukũ-rĩ, githĩ matingĩiya o indo iria imabatarĩtie?
and he said to them, Thus saith the Lord;
10 No rĩrĩ, niĩ nĩngaguũria Esaũ nguo atigwo njaga, nĩngaguũria ciĩhitho ciake, nĩguo ndakanacooke kuona gwa kwĩhitha. Ciana ciake, na andũ a nyũmba yao, na andũ a itũũra rĩake nĩmakaniinwo, na o nake ndagatigara.
If ye will indeed dwell in this land, I will build you, and will not pull [you] down, but will plant you, and in no wise pluck you up: for I have ceased from the calamities which I brought upon you.
11 Ndigĩrai ciana cianyu cia ngoriai; nĩngagitĩra mĩoyo yacio. Atumia anyu a ndigwa mũreke o nao manjĩhoke.”
Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the Lord: for I am with you, to deliver you, and save you out of their hand.
12 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Kũngĩkorwo arĩa mataagĩrĩirwo kũnyuĩra gĩkombe kĩu no nginya makĩnyuĩre-rĩ, wee ũngĩkĩaga kũherithio nĩkĩ? Ndũrĩ hĩndĩ ũtakaherithio, no rĩrĩ, no nginya ũgaakĩnyuĩra.”
And I will grant you mercy, and pity you, and will restore you to your land.
13 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Ngwĩhĩta ngĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, njuge atĩ Bozara gũgaatuĩka kũndũ kwanangĩku na kũrĩ magigi, gwa kũmenwo na gwa kũnyiitwo nĩ kĩrumi; namo matũũra makuo mothe magatũũra marĩ manangĩku nginya tene.”
But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, that we may not hearken to the voice of the Lord;
14 Nĩnjiguĩte ndũmĩrĩri kuuma kũrĩ Jehova: Atĩ nĩatũmire mũrekio athiĩ kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ, agaciĩre atĩrĩ, “Ũnganai mũrĩtharĩkĩre! Arahũkai mũkarũe mbaara!”
for we will go into the land of Egypt, and we shall see no war, and shall not hear the sound of a trumpet, and we shall not hunger for bread; and there we will dwell:
15 “Rĩu nĩngũkũnyiihia mũno gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ, ndũme ũmenwo nĩ andũ.
then hear the word of the Lord; thus saith the Lord;
16 Guoya ũrĩa ũtũmaga andũ magwĩtigĩre na mwĩtĩĩo wa ngoro yaku-rĩ, nĩikũheenetie, o wee ũtũũraga thĩinĩ wa ngurunga cia ndwaro cia mahiga, o na ũgaikaraga tũcũmbĩrĩ igũrũ twa karĩma. O na ũngĩgaaka itara igũrũ mũno ta cia nderi, ngaakũruta kuo, ngũharũrũkie,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
If ye set your face toward Egypt, and go in there to dwell; then it shall be, [that] the sword which ye fear shall find you in the land of Egypt, and the famine to which ye have regard, shall overtake you, [coming] after you in Egypt; and there ye shall die.
17 “Edomu gũgaatuĩka kũndũ gwa kũmakania; arĩa othe makaahĩtũkĩra kuo nĩmakamaka na makũnyũrũrie, nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa gũgaakorwo kwanangĩtwo.
And all the men, and all the strangers who have set their face toward the land of Egypt to dwell there, shall be consumed by the sword, and by the famine: and there shall not one of them escape from the evils which I bring upon them.
18 O ta ũrĩa Sodomu na Gomora kwangʼaũranirio, hamwe na matũũra marĩa maariganĩtie namo, atĩ gũtirĩ mũndũ ũngĩtũũra kuo; gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgaacooka gũtũũra kuo,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
For thus saith the Lord; As my wrath has dropped upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall my wrath drop upon you, when ye have entered into Egypt: and ye shall be a desolation, and under the power of others, and a curse and a reproach: and ye shall no more see this place.
19 “O ta mũrũũthi ũũkĩte kuuma ihinga-inĩ cia Jorodani, ũgakinya ũrĩithio-inĩ ũrĩa mũnoru-rĩ, noguo ngaingata Edomu oime bũrũri-inĩ wake o rĩmwe. Nũũ ũthuurĩtwo wa kũruta wĩra ũcio nĩgeetha ndĩmũtue wa kũũrũgamĩrĩra? Nũũ ũngĩ ũhaana ta niĩ, na nũũ ũngĩhota kũngararia? Ningĩ nĩ mũrĩithi ũrĩkũ ũngĩkĩhota kũregana na niĩ?”
[These are the words] which the Lord has spoken concerning you the remnant of Juda; Enter ye not into Egypt: and now know ye for a certainty,
20 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ta thikĩrĩriai, mũigue ũrĩa Jehova athugundĩte gwĩka Edomu, o na ũrĩa atuĩte gwĩka arĩa matũũraga Temani: Arĩa anini thĩinĩ wa rũũru rũu rwa mbũri magaakururio matwarwo kũndũ kũraya; nĩakaniina ũrĩithio wao ũthire biũ nĩ ũndũ wao.
that ye have wrought wickedness in your hearts, when ye sent me, saying, Pray thou for us to the Lord; and according to all that the Lord shall speak to thee we will do.
21 Thĩ nĩĩkainainio nĩ mũrurumo wao makĩgũa thĩ; kayũ ga kĩrĩro kĩao gakaiguuo o nginya Iria Itune.
And ye have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord, with which he sent me to you.
22 Atĩrĩrĩ! Nderi nĩĩkombũka na ĩcuuhũke, ĩtambũrũkĩtie mathagu mayo igũrũ rĩa Bozara. Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, ngoro cia njamba iria irĩ hinya cia Edomu igaatuĩka ta ngoro ya mũndũ-wa-nja akĩrũmwo.
Now therefore ye shall perish by sword and by famine, in the place which ye desire to go into to dwell there.
23 Ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ Dameski: “Hamathu na Aripadi nĩamaku, nĩ ũndũ nĩmaiguĩte ndeto njũru. Nĩmorĩtwo nĩ hinya, makaagaaga ta maaĩ ma iria.
24 Dameski nĩrĩũrĩtwo nĩ hinya, nao andũ a rĩo makahũndũka meethare, rĩiyũrĩtwo nĩ kũinaina; andũ a rĩo manyiitĩtwo nĩ ruo rwa ngoro na kĩeha, ruo ta rwa mũndũ-wa-nja akĩrũmwo.
25 Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte itũũra rĩrĩa rĩrĩ ngumo rĩage gũtiganĩrio, o itũũra rĩu rĩngenagia?
26 Ti-itherũ, aanake a rĩo nĩmakarũndwo barabara-inĩ ciarĩo; thigari ciakuo ciothe igaakirio ki mũthenya ũcio,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.
27 “Nĩngacina thingo cia Dameski; naguo mwaki ũcio nĩũgaacina ciĩgitĩro cia Beni-Hadadi.”
28 Ũhoro ũkoniĩ Kedari, o na mothamaki ma Hazoru, marĩa Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni aatharĩkĩire: Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Arahũkai mũtharĩkĩre Kedari, na mũniine andũ acio a mwena wa Irathĩro.
29 Hema ciao na ndũũru ciao cia mbũri nĩigatahwo; ciandarũa ciao nĩigakuuo, hamwe na indo ciao ciothe, na ngamĩĩra ciao ciothe. Andũ nĩmakanĩrĩra, mameere atĩrĩ, ‘Kĩmako kĩnene kiumanĩte na mĩena yothe!’
30 “Mwĩtharei narua! Ikarai thĩinĩ wa ngurunga iria ndiku, inyuĩ mũtũũraga kũu Hazoru. Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni nĩaciirĩire kũmũũkĩrĩra; nĩathugundĩte ũrĩa ekũmũũkĩrĩra,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
31 “Arahũkai mũtharĩkĩre rũrĩrĩ rũu rũtũũrĩte rũgaacĩire na rũhooreire, o rũu rũtũũrĩte rũrĩ na thayũ, rũrĩrĩ rũteehingagĩra na ihingo kana rũkeirigĩra na igera; andũ aruo matũũraga marĩ oiki,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
32 “Ngamĩĩra ciao igaatuĩka cia gũtahwo, nacio ndũũru icio ciao nyingĩ cia ngʼombe ituĩke cia ndaho. Arĩa marĩ kũndũ kũraya nĩngamahurunjĩra mĩena yothe ĩrĩa yumaga rũhuho. na nĩngamarehithĩria mwanangĩko kuuma mĩena yothe,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
33 “Hazoru gũgaatuĩka ũtũũro wa mbwe, gũtũũre gũkirĩte ihooru nginya tene. Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgaatũũra kuo; gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgaikara kuo.”
34 Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩrĩa yakinyĩrĩire Jeremia ũcio mũnabii ĩkoniĩ Elamu, o kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ kĩa wathani wa Zedekia mũthamaki wa Juda:
35 Ũũ nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga: “Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩngoinanga ũta wa Elamu, ũrĩa arĩ guo kĩhumo kĩa hinya wao.
36 Nĩngarehithĩria andũ a Elamu huho iria inya ciumaga mĩena ĩrĩa ĩna ya igũrũ; ngaamahurunjĩra na kũu huho icio inya ciumaga, na gũtirĩ rũrĩrĩ o na rũmwe andũ acio aingate a Elamu matakoorĩra.
37 Nĩngahehenja Elamu maitho-inĩ ma thũ ciao, marĩ o mbere ya andũ arĩa macaragia kũmaruta muoyo; nĩngamarehithĩria mwanangĩko, o na marakara makwa mahiũ,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. “Ngaamatengʼeria na rũhiũ rwa njora nginya ndĩmaniine biũ.
38 Nĩngaiga gĩtĩ gĩakwa kĩa ũnene kũu Elamu, na niine mũthamaki wakuo o na anene akuo,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
39 “No rĩrĩ, nĩngacookia ũgaacĩru wa Elamu matukũ-inĩ marĩa magooka,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
