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?”
Concerning the Ammonites, thus says the LORD; Has Israel no sons? has he no heir? why then does their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities?
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.
Therefore, behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel be heir unto them that were his heirs, says the LORD.
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.
Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled: cry, all of you daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run back and forth by the hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, and his priests and his princes together.
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?’
Wherefore glory you in the valleys, your flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, saying, Who shall come unto me?
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.
Behold, I will bring a fear upon you, says the Lord GOD of hosts, from all those that be about you; and all of you shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather up him that wanders.
6 “No rĩrĩ, thuutha-inĩ nĩngacookia ũgaacĩru wa andũ a Amoni,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children of Ammon, says the LORD.
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?
Concerning Edom, thus says the LORD of hosts; Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?
8 Garũrũkai mwĩthare, mũthiĩ mũkehithe thĩinĩ wa ngurunga iria ndiku, inyuĩ arĩa mũtũũraga kũu Dedani, tondũ nĩngarehithĩria Esaũ mwanangĩko rĩrĩa ngaamũherithia.
Flee all of you, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I will visit him.
9 Agethi a thabibũ mangĩũka kũrĩ we-rĩ, githĩ to matigie tũthabibũ tũnini? Aici mangĩũka ũtukũ-rĩ, githĩ matingĩiya o indo iria imabatarĩtie?
If grape-gatherers come to you, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough.
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.
But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not.
11 Ndigĩrai ciana cianyu cia ngoriai; nĩngagitĩra mĩoyo yacio. Atumia anyu a ndigwa mũreke o nao manjĩhoke.”
Leave your fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let your widows trust in me.
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.”
For thus says the LORD; Behold, they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken; and are you he that shall altogether go unpunished? you shall not go unpunished, but you shall surely drink of it.
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.”
For I have sworn by myself, says the LORD, that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.
14 Nĩnjiguĩte ndũmĩrĩri kuuma kũrĩ Jehova: Atĩ nĩatũmire mũrekio athiĩ kũrĩ ndũrĩrĩ, agaciĩre atĩrĩ, “Ũnganai mũrĩtharĩkĩre! Arahũkai mũkarũe mbaara!”
I have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent unto the heathen, saying, Gather all of you together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.
15 “Rĩu nĩngũkũnyiihia mũno gatagatĩ-inĩ ka ndũrĩrĩ, ndũme ũmenwo nĩ andũ.
For, lo, I will make you small among the heathen, and despised among men.
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.
Your terribleness has deceived you, and the pride of your heart, O you that dwell in the clefts of the rock, that hold the height of the hill: though you should make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from thence, says the LORD.
17 “Edomu gũgaatuĩka kũndũ gwa kũmakania; arĩa othe makaahĩtũkĩra kuo nĩmakamaka na makũnyũrũrie, nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩa gũgaakorwo kwanangĩtwo.
Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goes by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof.
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.
As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, says the LORD, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it.
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?”
Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?
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.
Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he has taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them.
21 Thĩ nĩĩkainainio nĩ mũrurumo wao makĩgũa thĩ; kayũ ga kĩrĩro kĩao gakaiguuo o nginya Iria Itune.
The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry the noise thereof was heard in the Red sea.
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.
Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
23 Ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ Dameski: “Hamathu na Aripadi nĩamaku, nĩ ũndũ nĩmaiguĩte ndeto njũru. Nĩmorĩtwo nĩ hinya, makaagaaga ta maaĩ ma iria.
Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.
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.
Damascus is waxed feeble, and turns herself to flee, and fear has seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.
25 Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte itũũra rĩrĩa rĩrĩ ngumo rĩage gũtiganĩrio, o itũũra rĩu rĩngenagia?
How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!
26 Ti-itherũ, aanake a rĩo nĩmakarũndwo barabara-inĩ ciarĩo; thigari ciakuo ciothe igaakirio ki mũthenya ũcio,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga.
Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, says the LORD of hosts.
27 “Nĩngacina thingo cia Dameski; naguo mwaki ũcio nĩũgaacina ciĩgitĩro cia Beni-Hadadi.”
And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Benhadad.
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.
Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon shall strike, thus says the LORD; Arise all of you, go up to Kedar, and spoil the men of the east.
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!’
Their tents and their flocks shall they take away: they shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry unto them, Fear is on every side.
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.
Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O all of you inhabitants of Hazor, says the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you, and has conceived a purpose against you.
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.
Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation, that dwells without care, says the LORD, which have neither gates nor bars, which dwell alone.
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.
And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I will scatter into all winds them that are in the utmost corners; and I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, says the LORD.
33 “Hazoru gũgaatuĩka ũtũũro wa mbwe, gũtũũre gũkirĩte ihooru nginya tene. Gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgaatũũra kuo; gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgaikara kuo.”
And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, and a desolation for ever: there shall no man abide there, nor any son of man dwell in it.
34 Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩrĩa yakinyĩrĩire Jeremia ũcio mũnabii ĩkoniĩ Elamu, o kĩambĩrĩria-inĩ kĩa wathani wa Zedekia mũthamaki wa Juda:
The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
35 Ũũ nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga: “Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩngoinanga ũta wa Elamu, ũrĩa arĩ guo kĩhumo kĩa hinya wao.
Thus says the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
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.
And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation where the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
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.
For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, even my fierce anger, says the LORD; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them:
38 Nĩngaiga gĩtĩ gĩakwa kĩa ũnene kũu Elamu, na niine mũthamaki wakuo o na anene akuo,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, says the LORD.
39 “No rĩrĩ, nĩngacookia ũgaacĩru wa Elamu matukũ-inĩ marĩa magooka,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
But it shall come to pass in the latter days, that I will bring again the captivity of Elam, says the LORD.
