Jeremiah 21
1 The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, when king Sedecias sent unto him Phassur, the son of Melchias, and Sophonias, the son of Maasias the priest, saying:
Kino kye kigambo ekyajja eri Yeremiya okuva eri Mukama, kabaka Zeddekiya bwe yamutumira Pasukuli mutabani wa Malukiya ne Zeffaniya kabona mutabani wa Maaseya okumugamba nti,
2 Inquire of the Lord for us, for Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon maketh war against us: if so be the Lord will deal with us according to all his wonderful works, that he may depart from us.
“Tubuulize kaakano ku Mukama kubanga Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni atulumbye. Oboolyawo Mukama anatukolera ekyamagero ng’edda, Nebukadduneeza n’atuleka.”
3 And Jeremias said to them: Thus shall you say to Sedecias:
Naye Yeremiya n’abaddamu nti, “Mugambe Zeddekiya nti,
4 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel: Behold I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight against the king of Babylon, and the Chaldeans, that besiege you round about the walls: and I will gather them together in the midst of this city.
‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, Nnaatera okuboolekeza ebyokulwanyisa byammwe ebiri mu mikono gyammwe bye mukozesa okulwanyisa kabaka w’e Babulooni n’Abakaludaaya ababazinze ne beetooloola ebweru wa bbugwe w’ekibuga kyammwe. Nzija kubakuŋŋaanyiza munda mu kibuga kino.
5 And I myself will fight against you with an outstretched hand, and with a strong arm, and in fury, and in indignation, and in great wrath.
Nze kennyini nzija kubalwanyisa n’omukono gwange ogw’amaanyi, ogugoloddwa mu busungu, n’ekiruyi n’obukambwe obungi.
6 And I will strike the inhabitants of this city, men and beasts shall die of a great pestilence.
Era ndittisa kawumpuli omubi, abantu awamu n’ensolo enkambwe, mu kibuga kino.
7 And after this, saith the Lord, I will give Sedecias the king of Juda, and his servants, and his people, and such as are left in this city from the pestilence, and the sword, and the famine, into the hand of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of them that seek their life, and he shall strike them with the edge of the sword, and he shall not be moved to pity, nor spare them, nor shew mercy on them.
Oluvannyuma lw’ekyo, nnaawaayo Zeddekiya kabaka wa Yuda, n’abakungu be n’abantu bonna mu kibuga kino abanaaba bawonye kawumpuli, ekitala n’enjala ebya Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni n’abalabe baabwe ababanoonya okubatta. Nebukadduneeza anaabatta n’ekitala, taabalage kisa n’akatono wadde okubasaasira oba okubasonyiwa.’
8 And to this people thou shalt say: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I set before you the way of life, and the way of death.
“Era abantu bagambe nti, ‘Bw’ati Mukama bw’ayogera nti: Laba mbateereddewo ekkubo ery’obulamu era n’ekkubo ery’okufa.
9 He that shall abide in this city, shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence: but he that shall go out and flee over to the Chaldeans, that besiege you, shall live, and his life shall be to him as a spoil.
Buli anaasigala mu kibuga kino ajja kufa ekitala, oba enjala oba kawumpuli. Naye buli afuluma ne yeewaayo eri Abakaludaaya ababazingizza, ajja kuba mulamu, era anaawonya obulamu bwe.
10 For I have set my face against this city for evil, and not for good, saith the Lord: it shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.
Mmaliridde okuleetera ekibuga kino akabi so si mirembe, bw’ayogera Mukama. Kijja kuweebwayo mu mikono gya kabaka w’e Babulooni, era ajja kukizikiriza n’omuliro.’
11 And to the house of the king of Juda: Hear ye the word of the Lord,
“N’ekirala gamba ennyumba ya Yuda ey’obwakabaka nti, ‘Wulira ekigambo kya Mukama;
12 O house of David, this saith the Lord: Judge ye judgement in the morning, and deliver him that is oppressed by violence out of the hand of the oppressor: lest my indignation go forth like a fire, and be kindled, and there be none to quench it, because of the evil of your ways.
ggwe ennyumba ya Dawudi, “‘kino Mukama ky’agamba: Musale emisango mu bwenkanya, mununule ababa banyagiddwa ababanyigiriza, obusungu bwange buleme kuvaayo bubookye ng’omuliro olw’ekibi kye mukoze, nga tewakyali n’omu abuziyiza.
13 Behold I come to thee that dwellest in a valley upon a rock above a plain, saith the Lord: and you say: Who shall strike us? and who shall enter into our houses?
Laba nkugguddeko olutalo, ggwe Yerusaalemi abeera waggulu w’ekiwonvu, ku lusozi olwagaagavu olw’ekyaziyazi, bw’ayogera Mukama, mmwe abagamba nti, “Ani ayinza okutulumba? Ani ayinza okuyingira mu nnyumba zaffe?”
14 But I will visit upon you according to the fruit of your doings, saith the Lord: and I will kindle a fire in the forest thereof: and it shall devour all things round about it.
Nzija kubabonereza ng’ebikolwa byammwe bwe biri, era ndikoleeza omuliro mu kibira kyammwe, gwokye byonna ebikyetoolodde,’” bw’ayogera Mukama.
