< Jeremiah 46 >

1 Which it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jeremiah the prophet on the nations.
Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩkoniĩ ndũrĩrĩ ĩrĩa yakinyĩrĩire mũnabii Jeremia:
2 Of Egypt on [the] army of Pharaoh Necho [the] king of Egypt which it was at [the] river of Euphrates at Carchemish which he struck down Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon in [the] year fourth of Jehoiakim [the] son of Josiah [the] king of Judah.
Ha ũhoro ũkoniĩ bũrũri wa Misiri: Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ya gũũkĩrĩra mbũtũ cia ita cia Firaũni Neko, mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Misiri, iria ciahooteirwo kũu Karikemishi, Rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Farati, nĩ Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni, mwaka-inĩ wa kana wa wathani wa Jehoiakimu mũrũ wa Josia, mũthamaki wa Juda:
3 Set in order shield and body shield and draw near for battle.
“Thagathagai ngo cianyu, iria nene na tũrĩa tũnini, mũthiĩ mbaara-inĩ!
4 Harness the horses and mount the warhorses and take your stand with helmets polish the spears put on the armor.
Tandĩkai mbarathi, mũcihaice! Rũgamai o mũndũ handũ hake mwĩkĩrĩte ngũbia cia igera! Kumuthai matimũ manyu, na mwĩhumbe nguo cianyu cia mbaara.
5 Why? have I seen they [will be] terrified [they will be] turned back backwards and warriors their they will be crushed and flight they will flee and not they will turn back terror [will be] from round about [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Nĩ kĩĩ ndĩrona? Nĩamaku mũno, nĩmaracooka na thuutha, njamba ciao nĩndoorie. Nĩmetharĩte na ihenya matekwĩhũgũra, na kũrĩ na itua-nda mĩena yothe,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
6 May not he flee the swift [one] and may not he escape the warrior north-ward on [the] side of [the] river of Euphrates they will stumble and they will fall.
“Arĩa marĩ ihenya matingĩhota kũũra, kana arĩa marĩ hinya meethare. Mwena wa gathigathini kũu Rũũĩ-inĩ rwa Farati mahĩngagwo makagũa.
7 Who? [is] this [who] like the River he rises like rivers they surge waters his.
“Nũũ ũyũ wĩyambararĩtie ta Rũũĩ rwa Nili, akaambarara ta njũũĩ irĩ na ndiihũ cia maaĩ?
8 Egypt like the River it rises and like rivers they surge waters and it has said I will rise I will cover [the] earth I will destroy a city and [the] inhabitants in it.
Bũrũri wa Misiri wĩyambararĩtie ta Rũũĩ rwa Nili, ũkambarara ta njũũĩ irĩ na ndiihũ cia maaĩ. Oigaga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩngũiyũra nginya humbĩre thĩ; nĩngwananga matũũra marĩa manene na andũ arĩa matũũraga kuo.’
9 Go up O horses and drive madly O chariotry so they may go forth the warriors Cush and Put [who] wield a shield and Ludites [who] wield [those who] bend a bow.
Guthũkai, inyuĩ mbarathi ici! Matengʼeriei hatarĩ itherũ, inyuĩ mũtwarithagia ngaari cia ita. Umagarai, inyuĩ njamba ici cia ita: inyuĩ andũ a Kushi na a Putu, inyuĩ mũũĩ kũrũmia ngo, na inyuĩ andũ a Ludu, inyuĩ mũgeetaga ũta.
10 And the day that [belongs] to [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts a day of vengeance to avenge himself from opponents his and it will devour [the] sword and it will be satisfied and it will take its fill from blood their for a sacrifice of [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts [will be] in [the] land of [the] north to [the] river of Euphrates.
No rĩrĩ, mũthenya ũcio nĩ wa Mwathani, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe: nĩ mũthenya wa kwĩrĩhĩria, erĩhĩrie harĩ thũ ciake. Rũhiũ rwa njora rũkaarĩa nginya rũhũũne, rũkaanyua thakame yao nginya rũnyootoke. Nĩgũkorwo Mwathani, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, nĩakarutĩra igongona kũu bũrũri wa mwena wa gathigathini gũkuhĩ na Rũũĩ rwa Farati.
11 Go up Gilead and acquire balm O virgin of [the] daughter of Egypt for vanity (you have multiplied *QK) remedies [is] healing there not for you.
“Ambata, ũkinye Gileadi, ũgĩĩre ndawa, wee Mũirĩtu Gathirange, Mwarĩ wa bũrũri wa Misiri. No rĩrĩ, ũingĩhagia ndawa icio mũno, o tũhũ; gũtirĩ ingĩkũhonia.
12 They will hear nations shame your and outcry your it will be full the earth for warrior over warrior they will stumble together they will fall both of them.
Ndũrĩrĩ nĩikaigua ũhoro wa gũconorithio gwaku; kĩrĩro gĩaku gĩkaaiyũra thĩ. Njamba ĩkaahĩngagwo nĩ ĩrĩa ĩngĩ; cierĩ ikaagũa thĩ hamwe.”
13 The word which he spoke Yahweh to Jeremiah the prophet of [the] coming of Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon to strike [the] land of Egypt.
Ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa Jehova aaheire Jeremia ũcio mũnabii ĩkoniĩ gũũka kwa Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni, gũtharĩkĩra bũrũri wa Misiri:
14 Declare in Egypt and make a proclamation in Migdol and make a proclamation in Memphis and in Tahpanhes say take your stand and prepare yourself for it will devour [the] sword around you.
“Anĩrĩrai ũhoro ũyũ bũrũri-inĩ wa Misiri, na mũũhunjie kũu Migidoli; ningĩ mũũhunjanĩrie kũu Nofu na Tahapanahesi: ‘Rũgamai harĩa hamwagĩrĩire na mwĩhaarĩrie, nĩgũkorwo rũhiũ rwa njora nĩrũrarĩa arĩa mamũthiũrũrũkĩirie.’
15 Why? will he be prostrated mighty [ones] your not he will stand for Yahweh he will push him.
Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma njamba cianyu cia ita ciaraganio thĩ? Itingĩhota gwĩtiiria, nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩwe ũgaacitindĩka acigũithie thĩ.
16 He will multiply [one who] stumbles also he will fall each to neighbor his and they said arise! - so let us return to people our and to [the] land of kindred our because of [the] sword of the oppressor.
Nĩikahĩngwo rĩngĩ na rĩngĩ; ikaagũanĩra o mũndũ igũrũ rĩa ũrĩa ũngĩ. Ikoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Ũkĩrai, nĩtũcookei kũrĩ andũ aitũ, kũrĩa twaciarĩirwo, tweherere rũhiũ rũrũ rwa njora rwa mũtũhatĩrĩria.’
17 People will call out there Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt [is] a noise he has let pass by the appointed time.
Marĩ kũu makaanagĩrĩra, makoiga atĩrĩ, ‘Firaũni mũthamaki wa bũrũri wa Misiri, nĩ inegene rĩa tũhũ; nĩorirwo nĩ mweke wake.’”
18 [by] [the] life Of me [the] utterance of the king [is] Yahweh of hosts name his that like Tabor among the mountains and like Carmel at the sea he will come.
Mũthamaki, o we ũrĩa wĩtagwo Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Ti-itherũ o ta ũrĩa niĩ ndũũraga muoyo-rĩ, nĩ kũrĩ mũndũ ũroka, ũgaakorwo ahaana ta Kĩrĩma gĩa Taboru kĩrĩ gatagatĩ-inĩ ka irĩma iria ingĩ, o na ta ũrĩa Kĩrĩma gĩa Karimeli kĩhaana kĩrĩ hakuhĩ na iria.
19 Baggage of exile make for yourself O inhabitant[s] [the] daughter of Egypt for Memphis a waste it will become and it will be made desolate from not inhabitant.
Oha mĩrigo yaku ya gũthiĩ nayo kũrĩa ũgaatahwo, ũtwarwo, wee ũtũũraga bũrũri wa Misiri, nĩgũkorwo Nofu gũkaanangwo, kwage kĩndũ, o na gũkire ihooru, gũtarĩ mũndũ wa gũgũtũũra.
20 [is] a heifer Beautifully beautiful Egypt a gadfly from [the] north [is] about to come [is] about to come.
“Bũrũri wa Misiri ũhaana moori njega mũno, no rĩrĩ, nĩ harĩ mbogo kanyarare ĩrooka kũmĩũkĩrĩra, yumĩte mwena wa gathigathini.
21 Also hired soldiers its in midst its [are] like calves of [the] stall for also they they will turn they will flee together not they will stand their ground for [the] day of disaster their it will come on them [the] time of punishment their.
Thigari cia mũcaara iria irĩ kuo ihaana ta njaũ cia gĩcegũ. O nao nĩmakagarũrũka more marĩ hamwe, matikahota gwĩtiiria, nĩgũkorwo mũthenya wa mwanangĩko nĩũkamakorerera, na nĩrĩo ihinda rĩao rĩa kũherithio.
22 Sound its [is] like snake [which] it goes for with an army they will come and with axes they will come to it like cutters of wood.
Mũrurumo wa andũ a Misiri ũgaatuĩka ta wa nyoka rĩrĩa ĩrethara, rĩrĩa thũ ĩgooka ĩrĩ na hinya; magaagũũkĩrĩra na mathanwa, o ta andũ maratema mĩtĩ.”
23 They will cut down forest its [the] utterance of Yahweh that not it will be searched for they will be many more than locust[s] and not [belonged] to them number.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Nĩmagatema mũtitũ wakuo, o na ũrĩ mũtumanu ũguo. Tondũ nĩ andũ aingĩ mũno gũkĩra ngigĩ, na matingĩtarĩka.
24 It will be put to shame [the] daughter of Egypt it will be given in [the] hand of [the] people of [the] north.
Mwarĩ ũcio wa bũrũri wa Misiri nĩagaconorithio, akaanenganĩrwo kũrĩ andũ a mwena wa gathigathini.”
25 He says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel here I [am] about to visit [judgment] to Amon from Thebes and on Pharaoh and on Egypt and on gods its and on kings its and on Pharaoh and on the [ones who] trust in him.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Ndĩ hakuhĩ kũherithia Amoni ngai ya Thebesi, na Firaũni, na bũrũri wa Misiri na ngai ciakuo, na athamaki akuo, na arĩa othe mehokaga Firaũni.
26 And I will give them in [the] hand of [those who] seek life their and in [the] hand of Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon and in [the] hand of servants his and after thus it will settle like days of antiquity [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Nĩngamaneana kũrĩ andũ arĩa mendaga kũmaruta muoyo, ndĩmaneane kũrĩ Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni na anene ake. No rĩrĩ, thuutha-inĩ bũrũri wa Misiri nĩgũgatũũrwo nĩ andũ rĩngĩ o ta tene,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
27 And you may not you fear O servant my Jacob and may not you be dismayed O Israel for here I [am] about to save you from a distant [land] and offspring your from [the] land of captivity their and he will return Jacob and he will be undisturbed and he will be at ease and there not [will be one who] terrifies.
“Tiga gwĩtigĩra, wee Jakubu ndungata yakwa: o nawe Isiraeli-rĩ, ndũkamake. Ti-itherũ nĩngakũhonokia ngũrutĩte kũndũ kũraya, njiaro ciaku ciume bũrũri ũrĩa ciatahirwo igĩtwarwo. Jakubu nĩagakorwo na thayũ na ũgitĩri rĩngĩ, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũgaatũma acooke gwĩtigĩra.”
28 You may not you fear O servant my Jacob [the] utterance of Yahweh that [am] with you I that I will make complete destruction on all the nations - where I have driven away you there towards and you not I will make complete destruction and I will discipline you to justice and certainly not I will leave unpunished you.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ “Tiga gwĩtigĩra, wee Jakubu ndungata yakwa, nĩgũkorwo ndĩ hamwe nawe. o na ingĩkaniinũkia ndũrĩrĩ ciothe kũrĩa ndarekire mũtwarwo mũrĩ atahe-rĩ, wee ndigakũniina biũ, no rĩrĩ, nĩngakũherithia na kĩhooto; ndigakũreka ũthiĩ o ũguo ũtaherithĩtio.”
