Jeremia 9
1 Naarĩ korwo mũtwe wakwa nĩ itherũkĩro rĩa maaĩ, namo maitho makwa nĩ gĩthima kĩa maithori! Ingĩrĩraga mũthenya na ũtukũ, ngĩrĩrĩra andũ akwa arĩa moragĩtwo.
Who? will he give head my [was] water and eye my [was] a fountain of tear[s] so I may bewail by day and night [those] slain of [the] daughter of people my.
2 Naarĩ korwo ndĩ na nyũmba ya kũrarĩrĩrwo nĩ agendi kũu werũ-inĩ, nĩgeetha ndige andũ akwa, thiĩ ndĩmeherere; nĩ ũndũ othe nĩ itharia, othe nĩ gĩkundi kĩa andũ matangĩĩhokeka.
Who? will he give me in the wilderness a lodging place of travelers and I will leave people my and I will go from with them for all of them [are] adulterers an assembly of treacherous [people].
3 “Mahacaga nĩmĩ ciao magacitua ta ũta wa gũikia ndeto cia maheeni. Ũhootani ũrĩa marĩ naguo bũrũri-inĩ, nduumanĩte na ũhoro wa ma. Moimaga rĩĩhia-inĩ rĩmwe magatoonya rĩĩhia-inĩ rĩrĩa rĩngĩ; na matinjũũĩ,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
And they have bent tongue their bow of their falsehood and not to faithfulness they are strong in the land for from evil to evil - they have gone out and me not they know [the] utterance of Yahweh.
4 “Mwĩhũgei arata anyu; mũndũ ndakehoke mũrũ wa nyina. Nĩgũkorwo mũrũ wa nyina na mũndũ nĩ mũheenania, na mũrata wa mũndũ nĩ mũcambania.
Each from neighbor his take heed and on any brother may not you rely for every brother certainly he cheats and every neighbor a slanderer he goes about.
5 Mũrata aheenagia mũratawe, na gũtirĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe waragia ũhoro wa ma. Maarutĩte nĩmĩ ciao kwaria ndeto cia maheeni; menogagia na mĩhangʼo o ya kwĩhia.
And each neighbor his they deceive and truth not they speak they have taught tongue their to speak falsehood to iniquire they are weary.
6 Wee ũtũũraga ũrigiicĩirio nĩ maheeni, nao aheenania acio nĩmaregete kũmenyana na niĩ,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
Dwelling you in among deceit on deceit they have refused to know me [the] utterance of Yahweh.
7 Tondũ ũcio Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga ũũ: “Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩngamageria, na ndĩmatherie na mwaki, nĩ ũndũ-rĩ, nĩatĩa ũngĩ ingĩĩka nĩ ũndũ wa mehia ma andũ akwa?
Therefore thus he says Yahweh of hosts here I [am] about to refine them and I will test them for how? will I act because of [the] daughter of people my.
8 Nĩmĩ ciao itariĩ ta mĩguĩ ya kũũragana; no ndeto cia maheeni ciaragia. O mũndũ aaragĩria ũrĩa ũngĩ ndeto cia thayũ na kanua gake, no ngoro-inĩ yake-rĩ, aikaraga amwambĩire mũtego.”
[is] an arrow (Beaten *Q(K)*) tongue their deceit it speaks with mouth his peace with neighbor his someone speaks and in inner being his he sets ambush his.
9 Jehova ekũũria atĩrĩ, “Anga ndakĩaga kũmaherithia nĩ ũndũ wa maũndũ macio? Anga ndakĩaga kwĩrĩhĩria harĩ rũrĩrĩ ta rũrũ?”
¿ On these [things] not will I visit them [the] utterance of Yahweh or? on a nation which [is] like this [one] not will it avenge itself self my.
10 Nĩngũrĩra na ngirĩke nĩ ũndũ wa irĩma, o na njakaye nĩ ũndũ wa ũrĩithio wa werũ. Nĩgũkirĩte ihooru na gũkaaga mũndũ ũngĩtuĩkanĩria kuo, na mwanio wa ngʼombe ndũraiguĩka kuo. Nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ na nyamũ cia gĩthaka nĩciũrĩte, igeethiĩra.
On the mountains I will take up weeping and wailing and on [the] pastures of [the] wilderness lamentation for they are left desolate because not anyone [who] passes through and not people hear [the] sound of livestock from [the] bird[s] of the heavens and unto animal[s] they have fled they have gone.
11 “Ngaatua itũũra rĩa Jerusalemu hĩba ya mahiga, gũtuĩke kũndũ gwa gũtũũrwo nĩ mbwe; namo matũũra ma Juda nĩngamaharagania, kwage mũndũ o na ũmwe ũngĩtũũra kuo.”
And I will make Jerusalem into heaps of stones a habitation of jackals and [the] cities of Judah I will make a waste because not inhabitant.
12 Rĩu-rĩ, nĩ mũndũ ũrĩkũ mũũgĩ ũngĩtaũkĩrwo nĩ ũhoro ũyũ? Nũũ hihi ũtaarĩtwo nĩ Jehova nĩguo atũtaarĩrie? Nĩ kĩĩ gĩtũmĩte bũrũri ũyũ wanangwo na ũgakira ihooru, ũgatuĩka ta werũ mũtheri nginya gũkaaga mũndũ ũngĩtuĩkania kuo?
Who? [is] the person wise and he may understand this and whom it has spoken [the] mouth of Yahweh to him so he may declare it concerning what? has it been destroyed the land has it become desolate? like wilderness because not [one who] passes by.
13 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Gĩtũmi nĩ tondũ nĩmatirikire watho wakwa ũrĩa ndaamaheire; matinjathĩkĩire, o na kana makarũmĩrĩra watho wakwa.
And he said Yahweh because have forsaken they law my which I set before them and not they have listened to voice my and not they have walked in it.
14 Handũ ha ũguo, o maarũmĩrĩire ũremi wa ngoro ciao, na makarũmĩrĩra Mabaali, o ta ũrĩa maithe mao maamonereirie.”
And they have walked after [the] stubbornness of own heart their and after the Baals which they taught them ancestors their.
15 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio-rĩ, Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli ekuuga ũũ: “Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩngũtũma andũ aya marĩe irio ndũrũ, na manyue maaĩ marĩ na thumu.
Therefore thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel here I [am] about to feed them the people this wormwood and I will give to drink them water of poison.
16 Nĩngũmahurunja ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ iria o ene matooĩ, o na kana maithe mao, njooke ndĩmaingatithie na rũhiũ rwa njora nginya ndĩmaniine biũ.”
And I will scatter them among the nations which not they knew they and ancestors their and I will send forth after them the sword until have made an end of I them.
17 Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Mwĩcũraniei rĩu! Ĩtai atumia arĩa marĩraga makĩgirĩkaga moke; tũmanĩrai atumia arĩa oogĩ mũno thĩinĩ wao moke.
Thus he says Yahweh of hosts consider and summon the wailing [women] and they may come and to the skillful [women] send so they may come.
18 Nĩmeerwo moke narua, matũrĩrĩre nginya maitho maitũ maiyũre maithori, nacio imone cia maitho maitũ inyũrũrũkie maithori ta tũrũũĩ.
And they may hasten and they may take up on us wailing so they may run down eyes our tear[s] and eyelids our they may flow water.
19 Mũgambo wa andũ maragirĩka nĩũraiguuo kuuma Zayuni: ‘Hĩ, kaĩ rĩu tũrĩ aanange-ĩ! Kaĩ nĩtũconorithĩtio mũno-ĩ! No nginya tuume bũrũri witũ, tondũ nyũmba ciitũ nĩcimomoretwo.’”
For a sound of wailing it has been heard from Zion how! we have been devastated we have been put to shame exceedingly for we have left [the] land for people have cast down dwellings our.
20 No rĩrĩ, inyuĩ atumia aya, ta thikĩrĩriai kiugo kĩa Jehova; hingũrai matũ manyu mũigue ciugo cia kanua gake. Oniai airĩtu anyu kũgirĩka; o mũndũ nĩarute ũrĩa ũngĩ gũcakaya.
For hear O women [the] word of Yahweh so it may receive ear your [the] word of mouth his and teach daughters your a mourning song and every woman neighbor her a lamentation.
21 Gĩkuũ kĩambatĩte gĩgaatoonyera ndirica-inĩ ciitũ, na gĩgatoonya nyũmba ciitũ iria ciirigĩirwo na hinya, nĩkĩniinĩte ciana ciitũ kũu barabara-inĩ cia itũũra, o na aanake aitũ makaniinwo kuuma kũu ihaaro-inĩ.
For it has come up death in windows our it has come in fortresses our to cut off child[ren] from [the] street young men from [the] open places.
22 Meere ũũ, “Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “‘Ciimba cia andũ nĩikaragana ta rũrua rũrĩ mũgũnda, na ta itira iria itinĩtio igatigwo na thuutha nĩ mũgethi, itarĩ na mũndũ wa gũcicookanĩrĩria.’”
Speak thus [the] utterance of Yahweh and it will fall [the] corpse[s] of people like dung on [the] surface of the field[s] and like cut grain from behind the reaper and there not [will be one who] gathers.
23 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Mũndũ ũrĩa mũũgĩ-rĩ, nĩatige kwĩgaatha nĩ ũndũ wa ũũgĩ wake, kana mũndũ ũrĩa ũrĩ na hinya egaathe nĩ ũndũ wa hinya ũrĩa arĩ naguo, o na kana gĩtonga kĩĩgathe nĩ ũndũ wa ũtonga wakĩo,
Thus - he says Yahweh may not he boast a wise [person] in wisdom his and may not he boast the mighty [person] in might his may not he boast a rich [person] in rich[es] his.
24 no rĩrĩ, mũndũ ũrĩa ũkwĩgaatha, nĩegaathe nĩ ũndũ wa ũhoro ũyũ: atĩ we nĩataũkĩirwo na akamenya atĩ niĩ nĩ niĩ Jehova, ũrĩa wĩkaga maũndũ ma ũtugi, na ngatuanĩra ciira kĩhooto na ngarũmia ũthingu gũkũ thĩ, nĩ ũndũ maũndũ macio nĩmo ngenagio nĩmo,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
That except in this let him boast who [-ever] boasts he has insight and he knows me that I [am] Yahweh [who] does covenant loyalty justice and righteousness on the earth for in these things I delight [the] utterance of Yahweh.
25 Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Matukũ nĩmagooka rĩrĩa ngaaherithia andũ othe arĩa maruĩte o mĩĩrĩ yao iiki,
Here! days [are] coming [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will visit [judgment] on every [man] circumcised in a foreskin.
26 nao nĩ andũ a bũrũri wa Misiri, na a Juda, na a Edomu, na a Amoni, na a Moabi, na arĩa othe matũũraga werũ-inĩ kũndũ kũraya. Nĩgũkorwo andũ a ndũrĩrĩ ici ciothe ti aruu kũna, o na andũ a nyũmba yothe ya Isiraeli matiruĩte ngoro.”
On Egypt and on Judah and on Edom and on [the] people of Ammon and on Moab and on all [those who] are cut off of [the] corner who dwell in the wilderness for all the nations [are] uncircumcised and all [the] house of Israel [are] uncircumcised of heart.
