Jeremiah 51
1 Thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the heart of those that rise against me, a destroying wind;
Jehova ekuuga ũũ: “Atĩrĩrĩ, nĩngarahũra roho wa mũniinani, ũũkĩrĩre Babuloni, o na andũ a Lebi-Kamai.
2 and I will send unto Babylon strangers, who shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
Nĩngatũma andũ a kũngĩ mathiĩ Babuloni magakũhurunje ta ũrĩa mũũngũ ũmbũragwo ihuhĩro-inĩ, na manange bũrũri ũcio ũtigwo ũtarĩ kĩndũ; makaũũkĩrĩra kuuma mĩena yothe, mũthenya ũcio waguo wa mwanangĩko.
3 Against him that bendeth let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifteth himself up in his coat of mail; and spare not her young men: destroy utterly all her host.
Mũtikanareke mũikia wa mĩguĩ ageete ũta wake, kana ehumbe nguo ciake cia ita. Mũtigacaĩre aanake akuo; anangai mbũtũ ciake cia ita, mũciniine.
4 And the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets.
Makaagũa thĩ moragĩtwo kũu Babuloni, magurarĩtio nguraro cia gĩkuũ kũu barabara-inĩ ciakuo.
5 For Israel is not forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of Jehovah of hosts; for their land is full of guilt against the Holy One of Israel.
Nĩgũkorwo Isiraeli na Juda matitirikĩtwo nĩ Ngai wao, o we Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o na gũtuĩka bũrũri wao ũiyũrĩtwo nĩ mahĩtia maitho-inĩ ma ũcio Mũtheru wa Isiraeli.
6 Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and save every man his life; be ye not cut off in her iniquity: for this is the time of Jehovah's vengeance: he shall render unto her a recompence.
“Mwĩtharei muume kũu Babuloni! Ũrai mũhonokie mĩoyo yanyu! Mwĩtharei mũtikaniinanĩrio nakuo nĩ ũndũ wa mehia makuo. Nĩ ihinda rĩa Jehova rĩa kwĩrĩhĩria; agaakũrĩha o kĩrĩa gĩkwagĩrĩire.
7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in Jehovah's hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunk of her wine; therefore have the nations become mad.
Babuloni kwahaanaga ta gĩkombe gĩa thahabu kĩrĩ guoko-inĩ kwa Jehova; nakuo gũgĩtũma thĩ yothe ĩhaane ta ĩrĩĩtwo nĩ njoohi. Ndũrĩrĩ nĩcianyuire ndibei yakuo; nĩ ũndũ ũcio rĩu ihaana ta igũrũkĩte.
8 Babylon is suddenly fallen and ruined. Howl over her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
Babuloni nĩgũkũgũa o rĩmwe na kũhehenjwo. Kũrĩrĩrei! Rehei ndawa ya kũniina ruo rwakuo; hihi kwahota kũhona.
9 We have treated Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country; for her judgment reacheth unto the heavens, and is lifted up to the skies.
“‘Nĩtũngĩahonirie Babuloni, no rĩrĩ, gũtingĩhonio. Nĩtũgũtigei, na o mũndũ acooke bũrũri wake kĩũmbe, nĩgũkorwo ituĩro rĩakuo rĩkinyĩte o matu-inĩ, rĩambatĩte o nginya matu-inĩ marĩa mairũ.’
10 Jehovah hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of Jehovah our God.
“‘Jehova nĩonanĩtie ũthingu witũ; ũkai tũthiĩ tũkoimbũrĩre Zayuni maũndũ marĩa Jehova Ngai witũ ekĩte.’
11 Sharpen the arrows; take the shields. Jehovah hath stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes; for his purpose is against Babylon, to destroy it; for this is the vengeance of Jehovah, the vengeance of his temple.
“Noorai mĩguĩ, oyai ngo! Nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩarahũrĩte athamaki a Amedi, nĩ ũndũ nĩaciirĩire kũniina Babuloni. Jehova nĩekwĩrĩhĩria harĩo, erĩhĩrie maũndũ marĩa meekirwo hekarũ yake.
12 Lift up a banner towards the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set the watchmen, prepare the ambushes; for Jehovah hath both devised and done that which he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon.
Haandai bendera kũrigania na thingo cia Babuloni! Ongererai agitĩri, igai arangĩri, mũhaarĩrie andũ a kũhithũkĩra njĩra-inĩ! Jehova nĩekũhingia ũrĩa aciirĩire gwĩka, ahingie uuge wake wa kũrũmĩrĩrwo, wa gũũkĩrĩra andũ a Babuloni.
13 Thou that dwellest upon many waters, abundant in treasures, thine end is come, the measure of thy rapacity.
Wee ũtũũraga gũkuhĩ na njũũĩ nyingĩ, na ũkeigĩra indo nyingĩ igĩĩna-inĩ ciaku-rĩ, ithirĩro rĩaku nĩ ikinyu, nĩ ihinda rĩaku rĩa kweherio.
14 Jehovah of hosts hath sworn by himself, I will assuredly fill thee with men, as with caterpillars; and they shall raise a shout against thee.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩehĩtĩte akĩgwetaga rĩĩtwa rĩake, akoiga atĩrĩ: Ti-itherũ nĩngatũma ũũkĩrĩrwo nĩ andũ aingĩ o ta mĩrumbĩ ya ngigĩ, nao makuugĩrĩrie nĩ ũndũ wa gũkũhoota.
15 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his understanding.
“Nĩwe wombire thĩ na ũndũ wa hinya wake; ningĩ akĩhaanda thĩ na ũũgĩ wake, na agĩtambũrũkia matu mairũ na ũndũ wa ũmenyo wake.
16 When he uttereth his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the end of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
Hĩndĩ ĩrĩa agũũthũka-rĩ, maaĩ marĩa marĩ igũrũ matu-inĩ nĩmarurumaga; nĩwe ũtũmaga thaatũ wambate na igũrũ kuuma ituri ciothe cia thĩ. Atũmaga rũheni rũũke rũrehanĩte na mbura, na akahingũrĩra rũhuho ruume makũmbĩ-inĩ make.
17 Every man is become brutish, so as to have no knowledge; every founder is put to shame by the graven image, for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
“Andũ othe nĩmagĩte meciiria na makaaga ũmenyo, nake mũturi wa thahabu o wothe nĩaconorithĩtio nĩ mĩhianano ĩyo yake. Nĩ ũndũ mĩhianano ĩyo yake nĩ ya maheeni; ndĩrĩ mĩhũmũ thĩinĩ wayo.
18 They are vanity, a work of delusion: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Ndĩrĩ kĩene, nĩ indo cia kũnyararwo; narĩo ihinda rĩayo rĩa gũciirithio rĩakinya-rĩ, nĩĩgathira biũ.
19 The portion of Jacob is not like them; for it is he that hath formed all things: and [Israel] is the rod of his inheritance: Jehovah of hosts is his name.
We ũcio Rũgai rwa Jakubu ndatariĩ tayo, nĩgũkorwo nĩwe Mũũmbi wa indo ciothe, o hamwe na mũhĩrĩga ũrĩa eegwatĩire ũtuĩke igai rĩake; Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe nĩrĩo rĩĩtwa rĩake.
20 Thou art my maul, [my] weapons of war: and with thee I will break in pieces the nations, and I will with thee destroy kingdoms;
“Nĩwe njũgũma yakwa ya ita, na nowe kĩndũ gĩakwa kĩa mbaara: nĩwe hũthagĩra kũhehenja ndũrĩrĩ, na ngatũmĩra hinya waku kũniina mothamaki.
21 and with thee I will break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with thee I will break in pieces the chariot and its driver;
Nĩwe hũthagĩra kũhehenja mbarathi na mũmĩhaici, ngakũhũthĩra kũhehenja ngaari ya ita na mũmĩtwari,
22 and with thee will I break in pieces man and woman; and with thee will I break in pieces old and young; and with thee will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;
ngakũhũthĩra kũhehenja mũndũ mũrũme na mũndũ-wa-nja, ngakũhũthĩra kũhehenja mũndũ mũkũrũ na ũrĩa mwĩthĩ, o na ngakũhũthĩra kũhehenja mwanake na mũirĩtu,
23 and with thee will I break in pieces the shepherd and his flock; and with thee will I break in pieces the husbandman and his yoke of oxen; and with thee will I break in pieces governors and rulers.
Ngakũhũthĩra kũhehenja mũrĩithi na rũũru rwake rwa mbũri, ngakũhũthĩra kũhehenja mũrĩmi na ndegwa ciake cia kũrĩma, o na ngakũhũthĩra kũhehenja abarũthi na anene.
24 And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea, in your sight, all their evil which they have done in Zion, saith Jehovah.
“Na rĩrĩ, Babuloni na arĩa othe matũũraga Kalidei, ngaamacookereria ũũru wao mũkĩĩonagĩra, ũũru wothe ũrĩa maaneka kũu Zayuni,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
25 Behold, I am against thee, mount of destruction, saith Jehovah, which destroyest all the earth; and I will stretch out my hand upon thee, and roll thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burning mountain.
“Nĩngũgũũkĩrĩra wee kĩrĩma gĩkĩ gĩa kũniinana, wee ũniinaga thĩ yothe.” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga. “Nĩngũgũtambũrũkĩria guoko ngũũkĩrĩre, ngũgaragarie ngũrute ndwaro-inĩ cia mahiga, na ndũme ũtuĩke ta kĩrĩma gĩcinĩtwo nĩ mwaki.
26 And they shall not take of thee a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; for thou shalt be desolate for ever, saith Jehovah.
Gũtirĩ ihiga rĩkarutwo harĩwe rĩtuĩke rĩa koine, o na kana ihiga o rĩothe rĩa mũthingi, nĩ ũndũ ũgũtũũra ũkirĩte ihooru nginya tene,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
27 Lift up a banner in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare nations against her; call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the bristly caterpillars.
“Haandai bendera bũrũri-inĩ, huhai karumbeta ndũrĩrĩ-inĩ! Thagathagai ndũrĩrĩ ikahũũrane nake; ĩtai mothamaki maya meturanĩre, mamũũkĩrĩre: mothamaki ma Ararati, na Mini, na Ashikenazu. Mũigĩrei mũnene wa ita wa kũmũũkĩrĩra; ambatiai mbarathi cia ita nyingĩ ta mĩrumbĩ ya ngigĩ.
28 Prepare nations against her, the kings of the Medes, their governors and all their rulers, yea, all the land of their dominion.
Thagathagai ndũrĩrĩ ikahũũrane nake; thagathagai athamaki a Amedi, na abarũthi, na anene ao othe, na andũ a mabũrũri mothe marĩa maathagwo nĩo.
29 And the land trembleth and is in pain; for the purposes of Jehovah against Babylon do stand, to make the land of Babylon a desolation, without inhabitant.
Bũrũri nĩũrathingitha na ũkenyogonda nĩ ruo, nĩgũkorwo ũndũ ũrĩa Jehova aciirĩire gwĩka Babuloni nĩ mũrũmu: wa kũharagania bũrũri wa Babuloni nĩguo kwage mũndũ ũngĩtũũra kuo.
30 The mighty men of Babylon have ceased to fight, they are sitting in the fortresses; their might hath failed, they are become as women: they have set her dwelling places on fire; her bars are broken.
Njamba iria irĩ hinya cia Babuloni nĩitigĩte kũrũa; ciikarĩte ciĩgitio-inĩ ciacio iria nũmu. Hinya wacio nĩ mũthiru; ihaanĩte o ta andũ-a-nja. Ciikaro ciakuo nĩicinĩtwo na mwaki; mĩgĩĩka ya ihingo ciakuo nĩ miunange.
31 Courier runneth to meet courier, and messenger to meet messenger, to announce to the king of Babylon that his city is taken from end to end;
Mũtwari ndũmĩrĩri ũmwe ararũmĩrĩrwo nĩ ũngĩ, nake mũrekio akarũmĩrĩrwo nĩ mũrekio ũrĩa ũngĩ, makamenyithie mũthamaki wa Babuloni atĩ itũũra rĩu rĩake inene rĩothe nĩrĩtunyane,
32 and the passages are seized, and the reedy places are burnt with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.
ningĩ mariũko ma njũũĩ nĩmanyiite, na kũrĩa kũrĩ marura gũgaacinwo na mwaki, nacio thigari ikanyiitwo nĩ guoya.”
33 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing-floor, at the time of its being trodden; yet a little while, and the time of harvest shall come for her.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe, o we Ngai wa Isiraeli, ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Mwarĩ wa Babuloni atariĩ ta kĩhuhĩro kĩa ngano hĩndĩ ĩrĩa yaraganĩtio ĩkĩrangĩrĩrio; kahinda gake ga kũgethwo nĩgegũkinya o narua.”
34 Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon hath devoured me, he hath crushed me, he hath made me an empty vessel; he hath swallowed me up like a dragon, he hath filled his belly with my delicates, he hath cast me out.
“Nebukadinezaru mũthamaki wa Babuloni nĩatũmeretie, nĩatũreheire kĩrigiicano, agatũma tũtuĩke ta nyũngũ ya rĩũmba ĩtarĩ kĩndũ. Nĩatũmerũkĩtie o ta ndamathia, nayo nda yake akamĩiyũria na indo ciitũ iria irĩ mũrĩo, na nĩacookete agatũtahĩka.
35 The violence done to me and to my flesh be upon Babylon, shall the inhabitress of Zion say; and, My blood be upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.
Maũndũ ma ũhinya marĩa maanekwo nyama ciitũ-rĩ, marocookerera Babuloni,” ũguo nĩguo atũũri a Zayuni mekuuga. “Thakame iitũ ĩrocookerera acio maikaraga kũu Babuloni,” ũguo nĩguo Jerusalemu ĩkuuga.
36 Therefore thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will plead thy cause, and take vengeance for thee; and I will dry up her sea, and make her spring dry.
Nĩ ũndũ wa ũguo-rĩ, Jehova ekuuga ũũ: “Atĩrĩrĩ, niĩ nĩngũkũrũĩrĩra na ngũrĩhĩrie; nĩngahũithia iria rĩake, na ndũme ithima ciake ihũe.
37 And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling-place of jackals, an astonishment, and a hissing, without inhabitant.
Babuloni gũgaatuĩka hĩba ya kũndũ kwanangĩku, na imamo cia mbwe, na kũndũ gwa kũmakania, na gwa gũthekererwo, kũndũ gũtarĩ mũndũ ũngĩtũũra kuo.
38 They shall roar together like young lions, growl as lions' whelps.
Andũ othe akuo makaararamaga ta mĩrũũthi mĩĩthĩ, makaarurumaga ta njaũ cia mĩrũũthi.
39 When they are heated, I will prepare their drink, and I will make them drunken, that they may exult, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith Jehovah.
No rĩrĩ, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa magaakorwo macinĩtwo nĩ thuti-rĩ, nĩrĩo ngaamarugithĩria iruga, na ndũme marĩĩo nĩ njoohi, nĩguo magaatheka maanĩrĩire, macooke makome toro nginya tene, na maticooke gũũkĩra,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
40 I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he-goats.
“Ngaamaikũrũkia ta tũgondu tũgĩthiĩ gũthĩnjwo, o na ta ndũrũme irĩ hamwe na thenge.
41 How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth seized! How is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
“Hĩ, kaĩ Sheshaki nĩrĩkeegwatĩrwo-ĩ, itũũra rĩu rĩĩrahagwo nĩ thĩ yothe kaĩ nĩinyiite-ĩ! Babuloni gũgaatuĩka kũndũ gwa kũmakania thĩinĩ wa ndũrĩrĩ ciothe!
42 The sea is come up upon Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of its waves.
Iria rĩrĩa inene nĩrĩkaiyũra Babuloni guothe; mũrurumo wa ndiihũ ciarĩo nĩguo ũgaakũhubanĩria.
43 Her cities are become a desolation, a dry land, and a desert, a land wherein no one dwelleth, neither doth a son of man pass thereby.
Matũũra makuo nĩmakirĩte ihooru, matuĩke bũrũri mũũmũ na werũ ũtarĩ kĩndũ, bũrũri ũtarĩ mũndũ ũngĩũtũũra, kũndũ gũtarĩ mũndũ ũgeragĩra kuo.
44 And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth what he hath swallowed up; and the nations shall not flow together any more unto him: yea, the wall of Babylon is fallen.
Nĩngaherithĩria Beli kũu Babuloni na ndũme ĩtahĩke kĩndũ kĩrĩa gĩothe ĩmeretie. Ndũrĩrĩ itigacooka kũhatĩkana igĩthiĩ kũrĩ yo. Naruo rũthingo rwa Babuloni nĩrũkaagũa.
45 Go ye out of the midst of her, my people, and deliver every man his soul from the fierce anger of Jehovah!
“Umai kũu thĩinĩ warĩo, inyuĩ andũ akwa! Mwĩtharei, mũhonokie mĩoyo yanyu! Mwĩtharei, mweherere marakara marĩa mahiũ ma Jehova.
46 lest your heart faint, and ye fear for the rumour that shall be heard in the land; for a rumour shall come [one] year, and after that a rumour in [another] year, and violence in the earth, ruler against ruler.
Mũtikanareke ngoro cianyu ciũrwo nĩ hinya, kana mwĩtigĩre hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ndeto cia mũhuhu ikaiguuo bũrũri-inĩ; ũhoro ũmwe wa mũhuhu nĩũkaiguuo mwaka ũyũ, na ũngĩ ũiguuo mwaka ũcio ũngĩ ũrũmĩrĩire, mũhuhu ũkoniĩ ndeto cia haaro bũrũri-inĩ, na wa mwathani ũmwe agĩũkĩrĩra mwathani ũrĩa ũngĩ.
47 Therefore behold, days are coming when I will punish the graven images of Babylon; and her whole land shall be put to shame, and all her slain shall fall in the midst of her.
Nĩgũkorwo ti-itherũ ihinda nĩrĩgooka rĩrĩa ngaaherithia ngai cia mĩhianano ya Babuloni; bũrũri ũcio wothe nĩũgaconorithio, nao andũ akuo arĩa othe moragĩtwo nĩmakaaragana kuo.
48 And the heavens and the earth, and all that is therein, shall shout aloud over Babylon; for out of the north the spoilers shall come against her, saith Jehovah.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo igũrũ na thĩ na kĩrĩa gĩothe kĩrĩ kuo nĩikanĩrĩra nĩ gũkena igĩkenerera Babuloni, nĩgũkorwo aniinani nĩmakarĩtharĩkĩra, moimĩte mwena wa gathigathini,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
49 As Babylon caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.
“Babuloni no nginya gũkaagũa nĩ ũndũ wa andũ a Isiraeli arĩa maanooraga, ũguo noguo andũ a mabũrũri mothe makaagũa thĩ, moragĩtwo nĩ ũndũ wa Babuloni.
50 Ye that have escaped the sword, go, stand not still: remember Jehovah from afar, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
Inyuĩ mũhonokete kũũragwo na rũhiũ rwa njora-rĩ, mwĩtharei na mũtikagonderere! Ririkanagai Jehova mũrĩ bũrũri wa kũraya, na mwĩciiragie ũhoro wa Jerusalemu.”
51 — We are put to shame, for we have heard reproach; confusion hath covered our face: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of Jehovah's house.
“Nĩtũconorithĩtio, nĩgũkorwo nĩtũrumĩtwo, na tũkahumbwo thoni mothiũ maitũ, tondũ andũ a kũngĩ nĩmatoonyete kũndũ kũrĩa kwamũre thĩinĩ wa nyũmba ya Jehova.”
52 — Therefore behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that I will punish her graven images; and throughout her land the wounded shall groan.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Matukũ nĩmagooka rĩrĩa ngaaherithia mĩhianano yake, nao andũ arĩa agurarie kũu bũrũri-inĩ ũcio guothe nĩmagacaaya.
53 Though Babylon should mount up to the heavens, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come unto her, saith Jehovah.
O na kũngĩtuĩka Babuloni gwĩtũũgĩrĩtie gũgakinya o matu-inĩ, na ciĩhitho ciakuo ikairigĩrwo na hinya mũno-rĩ, no ngaakũrehithĩria aniinani magũũkĩrĩre,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
54 The sound of a cry [cometh] from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans;
“Mũgambo wa kĩrĩro nĩũraiguuo kũu Babuloni; nĩ mũgambo wa kũniinanwo ũraiguuo kũu bũrũri wa andũ a Babuloni.
55 for Jehovah spoileth Babylon, and he will destroy out of her the great voice; and their waves roar like great waters, the noise of their voice resoundeth.
Jehova nĩakaniina Babuloni; nĩagakiria inegene rĩu inene rĩakuo. Makũmbĩ ma thũ makaahũũyũka taarĩ mũrurumo wa maaĩ maingĩ. Mũrurumo wa mĩgambo yao nĩĩkaiguuagwo.
56 For the spoiler is come against her, against Babylon, and her mighty men are taken; their bows are broken in pieces; for Jehovah, the God of recompences, will certainly requite.
Mũniinani nĩagookĩrĩra Babuloni; njamba ciakuo iria irĩ hinya nĩikaanyiitwo, namo mota mao moinangwo. Nĩ ũndũ Jehova nĩ Mũrungu ũrĩhanagĩria; we akaarĩhanĩria biũ.
57 And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her governors, and her rulers, and her mighty men; and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, saith the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts.
Anene akuo, na andũ arĩa ogĩ, o na abarũthi akuo, o ũndũ ũmwe na anene akuo, o na njamba ciakuo iria irĩ hinya, othe nĩngatũma marĩĩo nĩ njoohi; magaakoma nginya tene, na matiũkĩre,” nĩguo Mũthamaki ekuuga, o we ũrĩa rĩĩtwa rĩake arĩ Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe.
58 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly laid bare, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; so that the peoples will have laboured in vain, and the nations for the fire: and they shall be weary.
Jehova Mwene-Hinya-Wothe ekuuga atĩrĩ: “Rũthingo rwa Babuloni rũrĩa rwariĩ nĩrũkangʼaũranio biũ, nacio ihingo ciakuo iria ndaaya na igũrũ icinwo na mwaki; andũ menogagia tũhũ, naguo wĩra wa ndũrĩrĩ no ngũ cia gũcinwo na mwaki.”
59 The word that Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Nerijah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah to Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. Now Seraiah was chief chamberlain.
Ĩno nĩo ndũmĩrĩri ĩrĩa Jeremia aaheire Seraia mũrũ wa Neria, mũrũ wa Maaseia, o ũcio warĩ mũnene ũrĩa mũrori wa maũndũ ma nyũmba ya mũthamaki, rĩrĩa aathiire Babuloni marĩ na Zedekia mũthamaki wa Juda mwaka-inĩ wa ĩna wa ũthamaki wake.
60 And Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon, all these words that are written against Babylon.
Jeremia nĩandĩkĩte ibuku-inĩ rĩa gĩkũnjo ũhoro wothe ũkoniĩ mwanangĩko ũrĩa ũgaakinyĩrĩra Babuloni: maũndũ marĩa mothe maandĩkĩtwo makoniĩ Babuloni.
61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When thou comest to Babylon, see that thou read all these words;
Jeremia akĩĩra Seraia atĩrĩ, “Wakinya Babuloni-rĩ, ũgaatigĩrĩra atĩ nĩwathoma mohoro maya mothe wanĩrĩire.
62 and say, Jehovah, thou hast spoken concerning this place, that thou wilt cut it off, so that none shall dwell in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.
Ũcooke uuge atĩrĩ, ‘Wee Jehova, nĩugĩte nĩũkũniina kũndũ gũkũ, nĩgeetha gũtikanatũũrwo nĩ mũndũ, o na kana nyamũ; gũgũtũũra gũkirĩte ihooru nginya tene.’
63 And it shall be, when thou hast ended reading this book, [that] thou shalt bind a stone to it, and cast it into the midst of the Euphrates;
Warĩkia gũthoma ibuku rĩu rĩa gĩkũnjo-rĩ, ũrĩoherere ihiga, ũrĩikie Rũũĩ rwa Farati.
64 and shalt say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise, because of the evil that I will bring upon it: and they shall be weary. Thus far the words of Jeremiah.
Ũcooke uuge atĩrĩ, ‘Ũguo noguo Babuloni gũkaarikĩra kũũrĩre biũ, na gũtigacooka kuumĩra na igũrũ, nĩ ũndũ wa mwanangĩko ũrĩa ngaakũrehithĩria. Nao andũ akuo nĩmakaagũa.’” Ũhoro wa Jeremia ũkinyĩte hau.
