Jeremia 7
1 Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa yakinyĩrĩire Jeremia yumĩte kũrĩ Jehova, akĩĩrwo atĩrĩ:
The woordes that came to Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 “Thiĩ ũrũgame kĩhingo-inĩ kĩa nyũmba ya Jehova na ũrĩ hau wanĩrĩre ũhoro ũyũ, uuge atĩrĩ: “‘Thikĩrĩriai ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova, inyuothe andũ a Juda, inyuĩ mũtoonyagĩra ihingo-inĩ ici nĩguo mũgathathaiye Jehova.
Stand in the gate of the Lordes house and crie this woorde there, and say, Heare the woorde of the Lord, all yee of Iudah that enter in at these gates to worship the Lord.
3 Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ: Garũrĩrai mĩthiĩre yanyu o na ciĩko cianyu, na niĩ nĩngareka mũtũũre kũndũ gũkũ.
Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Amend your waies and your woorkes, and I will let you dwell in this place.
4 Tigai gũikaraga mwĩhokete ndeto cia maheeni, muge atĩrĩ, “Ĩno nĩ hekarũ ya Jehova, ti-itherũ nĩ hekarũ ya Jehova, nĩ hekarũ ya Jehova ki!”
Trust not in lying woordes, saying, The Temple of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord: this is the Temple of the Lord.
5 Nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, mũngĩagĩria mĩthiĩre yanyu na ciĩko cianyu biũ, na mũtuanagĩre ciira na kĩhooto mũndũ na ũrĩa ũngĩ-rĩ,
For if you amende and redresse your waies and your woorkes: if you execute iudgement betweene a man and his neighbour,
6 mũngĩaga kũhinyĩrĩria mũndũ wa kũngĩ, kana mwana wa ngoriai, kana mũtumia wa ndigwa-rĩ, na mwage gũitithia thakame ya mũndũ ũteehĩtie kũndũ gũkũ-rĩ, o na ningĩ mwage kwĩgerithia ngero nĩ ũndũ wa kũrũmĩrĩra ngai ingĩ-rĩ,
And oppresse not the stranger, the fatherlesse and the widow and shed no innocent blood in this place, neither walke after other gods to your destruction,
7 hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩngareka mũtũũre kũndũ gũkũ, o gũkũ bũrũri ũyũ ndaheire maithe manyu nginya tene na tene.
Then will I let you dwell in this place in the lande that I gaue vnto your fathers, for euer and euer.
8 No rĩrĩ, mwĩhokete ndeto cia maheeni itarĩ kĩene.
Beholde, you trust in lying woordes, that can not profite.
9 “‘Anga mũrĩiyaga na mũkooragana, na mũgatharia, na mũkehĩta na maheeni, mũgĩcinagĩra Baali ũbumba, na mũkarũmĩrĩra ngai ingĩ iria mũtooĩ,
Will you steale, murder, and commit adulterie, and sweare falsely and burne incense vnto Baal, and walke after other gods whome yee knowe not?
10 na ningĩ mũgacooka mũgooka mũkarũgama mbere yakwa thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ĩno ĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, mũkoiga atĩrĩ, “Tũrĩ agitĩre”; mũgitĩirwo nĩguo mwĩkage maũndũ macio mothe marĩ magigi?
And come and stande before mee in this House, whereupon my Name is called, and saye, We are deliuered, though we haue done all these abominations?
11 Nyũmba ĩno ĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa mũmĩtuĩte ngurunga ya atunyani? No niĩ nĩndĩĩoneire maũndũ macio! Ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
Is this House become a denne of theeues, whereupon my Name is called before your eyes? Beholde, euen I see it, sayeth the Lord.
12 “‘Rĩu ũkĩrai mũthiĩ Shilo, kũndũ kũrĩa ndambire gũtua gĩikaro kĩa Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, nĩguo mwĩonere ũrĩa ndeekire kuo nĩ ũndũ wa waganu wa andũ akwa a Isiraeli.
But go ye nowe vnto my place which was in Shilo, where I set my Name at the beginning, and beholde, what I did to it for the wickednesse of my people Israel.
13 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Rĩrĩa inyuĩ mwekaga maũndũ macio mothe, niĩ nĩndamwaragĩria kaingĩ kaingĩ, no mũtiigana kũnjigua; ndamwĩtire no mũtiigana kũnjĩtĩka.
Therefore nowe because yee haue done all these woorkes, sayeth the Lord, (and I rose vp earely and spake vnto you: but when I spake, yee would not heare me, neither when I called, would yee answere).
14 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, ũrĩa ndeekire kũu Shilo noguo ngeeka nyũmba ĩno ĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, o hekarũ ĩno mwĩhokete, kũndũ gũkũ ndamũheire inyuĩ o na ngĩhe maithe manyu.
Therefore will I do vnto this House, wherupon my Name is called, wherein also yee trust, euen vnto the place that I gaue to you and to your fathers, as I haue done vnto Shilo.
15 Nĩngamũingata mwehere mbere yakwa, o ta ũrĩa ndeekire ariũ a ithe wanyu othe, nĩo andũ a Efiraimu.’
And I will cast you out of my sight, as I haue cast out all your brethren, euen the whole seede of Ephraim.
16 “Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, tiga kũhoera andũ aya, kana ũmathaithanĩrĩre, kana ũmaarĩrĩrie, o na kana ũhooe ndĩmekĩre ũndũ tondũ ndingĩgũthikĩrĩria.
Therfore thou shalt not pray for this people, neither lift vp crie or praier for them neither intreat me, for I will not heare thee.
17 Kaĩ wee ũtarona ũrĩa mareka kũu matũũra-inĩ ma Juda, o na kũu njĩra-inĩ cia itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu?
Seest thou not what they doe in the cities of Iudah and in the streetes of Ierusalem?
18 Ciana iroina ngũ, namo maithe mao magaakia mwaki, nao atumia magakanda mũtu, makarugĩra ngai ĩrĩa ĩĩtagwo Mũthamaki-Mũndũ-wa-nja wa kũũrĩa Igũrũ tũmĩgate, na maitĩre ngai ingĩ maruta ma indo cia kũnyuuo nĩguo maathirĩkie ndaakare.
The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knede the dough to make cakes to the Queene of heauen and to powre out drinke offrings vnto other gods, that they may prouoke me vnto anger.
19 Jehova egũkĩũria atĩrĩ: Nĩ niĩ maraathirĩkia? Githĩ andũ aya ti o ene marethũkia meconorithie?
Doe they prouoke me to anger, sayeth the Lord, and not themselues to the confusion of their owne faces?
20 “‘Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, Mwathani Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: Marakara na mangʼũrĩ makwa nĩmagaitĩrĩrio kũndũ gũkũ, magaaitĩrĩrio mũndũ na nyamũ, na mĩtĩ ya gĩthaka o na maciaro ma thĩ, namo nĩmagaakana na matikahoreka.
Therefore thus sayeth the Lord God, Beholde, mine anger and my wrath shall be powred vpon this place, vpon man and vpon beast, and vpon the tree of the fielde, and vpon the fruite of the grounde, and it shall burne and not bee quenched.
21 “‘Ũũ nĩguo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga: Thiĩi na mbere na kuongerera maruta ma magongona manyu ma njino harĩ magongona manyu marĩa mangĩ, na mũrĩe nyama icio inyuĩ ene!
Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Put your burnt offerings vnto your sacrifices, and eat the flesh.
22 Nĩ ũndũ rĩrĩa ndaarutire maithe manyu kũu bũrũri wa Misiri na ngĩmaarĩria, ndiamaheire o mawatho makoniĩ maruta ma njino na magongona,
For I spake not vnto your fathers, nor commanded them, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offrings and sacrifices.
23 no nĩndamaheire rĩathani rĩrĩ: Atĩrĩ, njathĩkagĩrai, na niĩ nĩngũtuĩka Ngai wanyu na inyuĩ mũtuĩke andũ akwa. Thiiagai na mĩthiĩre ĩrĩa yothe ndĩrĩmwathaga, nĩguo muonage maũndũ mega.
But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voyce, and I will be your God, and yee shalbe my people: and walke yee in all the wayes which I haue commanded you, that it may be well vnto you.
24 No rĩrĩ, matiigana kũnjigua kana kũrũmbũiya ũhoro ũcio; handũ ha gwĩka ũguo-rĩ, maarũmĩrĩirie ũremi wa ngoro ciao njũru. Nao maacookire na thuutha, makĩaga gũthiĩ na mbere.
But they would not obey, nor incline their eare, but went after the counsels and the stubbernesse of their wicked heart, and went backewarde and not forwarde.
25 Kuuma hĩndĩ ĩrĩa maithe manyu moimire bũrũri wa Misiri nginya rĩu, ndĩmũtũmagĩra ndungata ciakwa cia anabii, mũthenya o mũthenya, na hĩndĩ o hĩndĩ.
Since the day that your fathers came vp out of the lande of Egypt, vnto this day, I haue euen sent vnto you al my seruants the Prophets, rising vp earely euery day, and sending them.
26 No rĩrĩ, o matiigana gũũthikĩrĩria kana kũrũmbũiya ũhoro ũcio. No nĩmoomirie ngoro ciao na makĩagana gũkĩra maithe mao.’
Yet would they not heare me nor encline their eare, but hardened their necke and did worse then their fathers.
27 “Wameera maũndũ macio mothe-rĩ, matigaagũthikĩrĩria; o na rĩrĩa ũkaameeta, matigaagwĩtĩka.
Therefore shalt thou speake al these words vnto them, but they will not heare thee: thou shalt also crie vnto them, but they will not answere thee.
28 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio, meere atĩrĩ, ‘Rũrũ nĩruo rũrĩrĩ rũrĩa rũregete gwathĩkĩra Jehova Ngai waruo, o na rũkarega gũtaarwo. Ũhoro-wa-ma nĩũthirĩte; nĩũmehereire ũkoima mĩromo-inĩ yao biũ.
But thou shalt say vnto them, This is a nation that heareth not the voice of the Lord their God, nor receiueth discipline: trueth is perished, and is cleane gone out of their mouth.
29 Enjwoi njuĩrĩ cianyu mũcite, mũcooke mũcakae mũrĩ kũu tũrĩma-igũrũ kũrĩa gũtigĩtwo gũtarĩ kĩndũ, nĩ ũndũ Jehova nĩaregete na agatiganĩria rũciaro rũrũ arakarĩire.
Cut off thine heare, O Ierusalem, and cast it away, and take vp a complaint on the hie places: for the Lord hath reiected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
30 “‘Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, andũ aya a Juda nĩmekĩte maũndũ mooru maitho-inĩ makwa. Nĩmaigĩte mĩhianano ĩyo yao ĩrĩ magigi kũu thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ĩyo ĩĩtanĩtio na Rĩĩtwa rĩakwa, makamĩthaahia.
For the children of Iudah haue done euill in my sight, sayth the Lord: they haue set their abominations in the House, whereupon my Name is called, to pollute it.
31 Nĩmakĩte kũndũ gũtũũgĩru gwa Tofethi, kũu Gĩtuamba-inĩ kĩa Beni-Hinomu, nĩguo macinagĩre aanake na airĩtu ao na mwaki kuo, ũndũ niĩ itaathanire wĩkagwo, o na ũndũ ũtarĩ wagĩa meciiria-inĩ makwa.
And they haue built the hie place of Topheth, which is in the valley of Ben-Hinnom to burne their sonnes and their daughters in the fire, which I commanded them not, neither came it in mine heart.
32 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, mwĩmenyererei, tondũ matukũ nĩmarooka, rĩrĩa andũ matagacooka gwĩta kũndũ gũkũ Tofethi kana Gĩtuamba kĩa Beni-Hinomu, no gũgeetagwo Gĩtuamba gĩa Kũũraganĩrwo. Nĩgũkorwo kũu Tofethi nĩkuo magaathikaga andũ arĩa akuũ nginya kwage handũ hangĩthikanwo.
Therefore beholde, the dayes come, sayeth the Lord, that it shall no more be called Topheth, nor the valley of Ben-Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall burie in Topheth til there be no place.
33 Hĩndĩ ĩyo ciimba cia andũ acio nĩigatuĩka nyama cia kũrĩĩo nĩ nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ, o na nyamũ cia gĩthaka, na gũtigakorwo o na mũndũ ũmwe wa gũcirira.
And ye carkeises of this people shalbe meat for the foules of the heauen and for the beastes of the earth, and none shall fraie them away.
34 Ningĩ nĩnganiina mĩgambo ya gĩkeno na ya kũrũũhia, na mĩgambo ya gĩkeno kĩa mũhiki na mũhikania kũu matũũra-inĩ ma Juda, o na njĩra-inĩ cia Jerusalemu, nĩ ũndũ bũrũri ũcio nĩũgakira ihooru.
Then I will cause to cease from the cities of Iudah and from the streetes of Ierusalem the voice of mirth and the voice of gladnesse, the voice of the bridegrom and the voice of the bride: for the lande shalbe desolate.
