< Jeremiah 32 >

1 The word that came to Jeremias from the Lord in the tenth year of Sedecias king of Juda: the same is eighteenth year of Nabuchodonosor.
Kino kye kigambo kya Mukama ekyajjira Yeremiya mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi ogw’obufuzi bwa Zeddekiya kabaka wa Yuda, ogwali omwaka ogw’ekkumi n’omunaana ogw’obufuzi bwa Nebukadduneeza.
2 At that time the army of the king o Babylon besieged Jerusalem: and Jeremias the prophet was shut up in the court of the prison, which was in the house of the king of Juda.
Amaggye ga kabaka w’e Babulooni gaali gazingizza Yerusaalemi, era ne Yeremiya nnabbi baali bamusibidde mu luggya lw’omukuumi mu lubiri lwa kabaka wa Yuda.
3 For Sedecias king of Juda had shut him up, saying: Why dost thou prophesy, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it?
Zeddekiya kabaka wa Yuda yali amusibidde eyo ng’agamba nti, “Lwaki otegeeza obunnabbi mu ngeri eyo? Ogamba nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama. Nnaatera okuwaayo ekibuga kino eri kabaka w’e Babulooni, era agenda kukiwamba.
4 And Sedecias king of Juda shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans: but he shall be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon: and he shall speak to him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall see his eyes.
Zeddekiya kabaka wa Yuda tajja kuwona mikono gy’Abakaludaaya naye ddala wa kuweebwayo eri kabaka w’e Babulooni era ajja kwogera naye, balabagane amaaso n’amaaso.
5 And he shall lead Sedecias to Babylon: and he shall be there till I visit him, saith the Lord. But if you will fight against the Chaldeans, you shall have no success.
Alitwala Zeddekiya mu Babulooni, gy’alisigala okutuusa lwe ndimujjira. Bwe munaalwanyisa Abakaludaaya, temujja kuwangula,’ bw’ayogera Mukama.”
6 And Jeremias said: The word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Yeremiya n’agamba nti, “Ekigambo kya Mukama kyanzijira:
7 Behold, Hanameel the son of Sellum thy cousin shall come to thee, saying: Buy thee my field, which is in Anathoth, for it is thy right to buy it, being akin.
Laba Kanameri mutabani wa Sallumu kojjaawo agenda kujja gy’oli akugambe nti, ‘Gula ennimiro yange eri mu Anasosi kubanga ng’owooluganda asinga okuba okumpi guba mukisa gwo era buvunaanyizibwa bwo okugigula.’
8 And Hanameel my uncle’s son cam to me, according to the word of the to the entry of the prison, and said me: Buy my held, which is in in the land of Benjamin: for the right of inheritance is thins, and thou art next of kin to possess it. And I understood this was the word of the Lord.
“Awo nga Mukama bwe yali agambye, omwana wa kojja wange Kanameri yajja mu luggya lw’omukuumi gye nnali n’aŋŋamba nti, ‘Gula ennimiro yange eri mu Anasosi mu kitundu kya Benyamini, kubanga okirinako obuyinza n’obuvunaanyizibwa okukinunulayo n’okyefunira, kyegulire.’ “Olwo ne mmanya nti kino kye kigambo kya Mukama.
9 And I bought the held of my uncle’s son, that is in Anathoth: and I weighed him the money, seven staters, and ten pieces of silver.
Ne ndyoka ngula ennimiro ey’e Anasosi ku Kanameri omwana wa kojjange, ne mubalira ensimbi, ebitundu kkumi na musanvu ebya ffeeza.
10 And I wrote it in a book and sealed it, and took witnesses: and I weighed him the money in the balances.
Ne nteeka omukono ku kiwandiiko ky’endagaano okugulirwa ettaka ne nkissaako n’akabonero, ne nfuna abajulirwa, ne mpima ffeeza ku minzaani.
11 And I took the deed of the purchase that was sealed, and the stipulations, and the ratifications with the seals that were on the outside.
Ne ntwala ekiwandiiko ekimpa obwannannyini ekirimu enkola era n’ebisuubirwa okugobererwa, era ne kkopi ey’olwatu.
12 And I gave the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neri the son of Maasias in the sight of Hanameel my uncle’s son, in the presence of the witnesses that subscribed the book of the purchase, and before all the Jews that sat in the court of the prison.
Ne mpa Baluki mutabani wa Neriya mutabani wa Maseya ekiwandiiko ky’obwannannyini, Kanameri omwana wa kojjange nga waali n’abajulirwa nga weebali abaateeka emikono ku kiwandiiko eky’obwannannyini n’Abayudaaya bonna abaali batudde mu luggya lw’omukuumi.
13 And I charged Baruch before them, saying:
“Ne nkuutirira Baluki mu maaso gaabwe nti,
14 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Take these writings, this deed of the purchase that is sealed up, and this deed that is open: and put them in an earthen vessel, that they may continue many days.
‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, Twala ebiwandiiko bino byombi, ekisibeko envumbo n’ekitali kisibeko obiteeke mu nsumbi ey’ebbumba bisobole okulwawo ebbanga gwanvu.
15 For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Houses, and fields, and vineyards shall be possessed again in this land.
Kubanga bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, Ennyumba, n’ebibanja n’ennimiro ez’emizabbibu biriddamu okugulibwa mu nsi eno.’
16 And after I had delivered the deed of purchase to Baruch the son of Neri, I prayed to the Lord, saying:
“Nga mmaze okuwaayo ekiwandiiko kino eri Baluki mutabani wa Neriya, nasaba Mukama nti,
17 Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God, behold thou hast made heaven and earth by thy great power, and thy stretched out arm: no word shall be hard to thee:
“Ayi Mukama Katonda, ggwe wakola eggulu n’ensi n’amaanyi go amangi ennyo, n’omukono gwo ogugoloddwa. Tewali kintu na kimu kikulema.
18 Thou shewest mercy unto thousands, and returnest the iniquity of the fathers into the bosom of their children after them: O most mighty, great, and powerful, the Lord of hosts is thy name.
Olaga okwagala kwo eri enkumi n’enkumi ate oleeta ekibonerezo ky’ebibi bya bakitaabwe ku baana baabwe. Ayi Katonda ow’ekitalo era ow’amaanyi, ayitibwa Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye,
19 Great in counsel and incomprehensible in thought: whose eyes are open upon all the ways of the children of Adam, to render unto every one according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his devices.
ebigendererwa byo nga binene era n’ebikolwa byo nga bikulu. Amaaso go gatunuulidde amakubo gonna ag’abantu, osasula buli muntu ng’enneeyisa ye bweri era ng’ebikolwa bye bwe biri.
20 Who hast set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt even until this day, and in Israel, and amongst men, and hast made thee a name as at this day.
Wakola obubonero n’ebikolwa ebyamagero mu Misiri era weeyongedde okubikola leero, wonna mu Isirayiri ne mu bantu bonna era erinnya lyo lyeyongedde okwatiikirira.
21 And hast brought forth thy people Israel, out of the land of Egypt with signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and a stretched out arm, and with great terror.
Waggya abantu bo Isirayiri mu Misiri n’obubonero n’eby’amagero, n’omukono gwo ogw’amaanyi gwe wagolola n’entiisa ey’amaanyi.
22 And best given them this land which thou didst swear to their fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey.
Wabawa ensi eno gye wali olayidde okuwa bajjajjaabwe, ensi ekulukuta amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki.
23 And they came in, and possessed it: but they obeyed not thy voice, and they walked not in thy law: and they did not any of those things that thou didst command them to do, and all these evils are come upon them.
Baagituukamu ne bagitwala, naye tebaakugondera wadde okugoberera amateeka go, byonna bye wabalagira tebaliiko wadde na kimu kye baakola. Kyewava obaleetako akabi kano konna.
24 Behold works are built up against the city to take it: and the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans, who fight against it, by the sword, and the famine, and the pestilence: and what thou hast spoken, is all come to pass, as thou thyself seest.
“Laba entuumo z’omulabe z’atuumye okuzinda ekibuga okukiwamba n’ekitala, n’enjala ne kawumpuli, ekibuga kigenda kuweebwayo eri Abakaludaaya abakirumba. Ekyo kye wagamba kituukiridde nga kaakano bw’olaba.
25 And sayest thou to me, O Lord God: Buy a field for money, and take witnesses, whereas the city is given into the hands of the Chaldeans?
Era wadde ng’ekibuga kigenda kuweebwayo eri Abakaludaaya, ggwe Ayi Mukama Katonda oŋŋambye nti, ‘Toola ffeeza weegulire ennimiro era wabeerewo n’abajulirwa.’”
26 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying:
Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yeremiya nti,
27 Behold I am the Lord the God of all flesh: shall any thing be hard for me?
“Nze Mukama, Katonda w’abantu bonna. Eriyo ekinnema?
28 Therefore thus saith the Lord: Behold I will deliver this city into the hands of the Chaldeans, and into the hands of the king of Babylon, and they shall take it.
Noolwekyo, bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Nnaatera okuwaayo ekibuga kino eri Abakaludaaya ne Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni, abanaakiwamba.
29 And the Chaldeans that fight against this city, shall come and set it on fire, and burn it, with the houses upon whose roofs they offered sacrifice to Baal, and poured out drink offerings to strange gods, to provoke me to wrath.
Abakaludaaya abanaalumba ekibuga kino bajja kukikumako omuliro, bakyokye kiggye, n’amayumba gonna abantu mwe bankwasiza obusungu nga bootereza Baali obubaane waggulu ku mayumba era n’okuwaayo ebiweebwayo eby’okunywa eri bakatonda abalala.’
30 For the children of Israel, and the children of Juda, have continually done evil in my eyes from their youth: the children of Israel who even till now provoke me with the work of their hands, saith the Lord.
“Abantu ba Isirayiri ne Yuda bye bakoze bibi byereere mu maaso gange okuva mu buvubuka bwabwe; era ddala abantu ba Isirayiri tebalina kirala kye bakoze wabula okunnyiiza n’ebyo emikono gyabwe gye gikoze, bw’ayogera Mukama.
31 For this city hath been to me a provocation and indignation from the day that they built it, until this day, in which it shall be taken out of my sight.
Okuva ku lunaku lwe kyazimbibwa ne leero, ekibuga kino kindeetedde obusungu bungi n’ekiruyi, noolwekyo nteekwa okukiggya mu maaso gange.
32 Because of all the evil of the children of Israel, and of the children of Juda, which they have done, provoking me to wrath, they and their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets, the men of Juda, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Abantu ba Isirayiri ne Yuda bannyiizizza olw’ebibi byonna bye bakoze, bo ne bakabaka baabwe n’abakungu baabwe, ne bakabona baabwe ne bannabbi, abasajja ba Yuda n’abantu ba Yerusaalemi.
33 And they have turned their backs to me, and not their faces: when I taught them early in the morning, and instructed them, and they would not hearken to receive instruction.
Banvaako ne bankuba amabega mu kifo ky’okuntunuulira; wadde nga nabayigiriza ne nkiddiŋŋana emirundi mingi naye tebaawuliriza wadde okufaayo eri okukangavvulwa.
34 And they have set their idols in the house, in which my name is called upon, to defile it.
Baateekawo ebifaananyi bya bakatonda baabwe abakole n’emikono, eby’omuzizo mu nnyumba eyitibwa Erinnya lyange ne bagyonoona.
35 And they have built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of the son of Ennom, to consecrate their sons and their daughters to Moloch: which I commanded them not, neither entered it into my heart, that they should do this abomination, and cause Juda to sin.
Baazimba ebifo ebigulumivu ebya Baali mu kiwonvu kya mutabani wa Kinomu, basaddaake batabani baabwe ne bawala baabwe mu muliro eri Moleki, newaakubadde nga sibalagiranga, wadde okukirowooza mu magezi gange, nti balikola ekintu ekibi ennyo bwe kityo kiviireko Yuda okwonoona.
36 And now, therefore, thus saith the Lord the God of Israel to this city, whereof you say that it shall be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence:
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ‘Ekibuga kino okyogerako nti, Kijja kuweebwayo eri kabaka w’e Babulooni lwa kitala, n’enjala, ne kawumpuli.’
37 Behold I will gather them together out of all the lands to which I have cast them out in my anger, and in my wrath, and in my great indignation: and I will bring them again into this place, and will cause them to dwell securely.
Naye laba, ndibakuŋŋaanya mu mawanga gye mbagobedde n’obusungu bwange n’ekiruyi eky’amaanyi; ndibakomyawo mu kifo kino, mubeere n’emirembe.
38 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
Era balibeera bantu bange, nange mbeere Katonda waabwe.
39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, that they may fear me all days: and that it may be well with them, and with their children after them.
Ndibawa omutima gumu n’ekkubo limu, bantyenga emirembe gyonna, olw’obulungi bwabwe, n’obulungi bw’abaana abaliddawo.
40 And I will make an everlasting covenant with them, and will not cease to do them good: and I will give my fear in their heart, that they may not revolt from me.
Ndikola nabo endagaano eteriggwaawo: siribaleka era sirirekeraawo kubakolera birungi, era ndibassaamu omwoyo oguntya, baleme kuddayo kunvaako.
41 And I will rejoice over them, when I shall do them good: and I will plant them in this land in truth, with my whole heart, and with all my soul.
Ndisanyuka olw’okubakolera ebirungi era awatali kubuusabuusa ndibasimba mu nsi eno n’omutima gwange gwonna n’emmeeme yange yonna.
42 For thus saith the Lord: As I have brought upon this people all this great evil: so will I bring upon them all the good that I now speak to them.
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, Nga bwe naleeta akabi kano konna ku bantu bano, era nze ndibawa okukulaakulana kwonna kwe mbasuubizza.
43 And fields shall be purchased in this land: whereof you say that it is desolate, because there remaineth neither man nor beast, and it is given into the hands of the Chaldeans.
Era nate ennimiro zirigulwa mu ggwanga lino lye mugamba nti, ‘Lifuuse matongo agatagambika, omutali bantu wadde ensolo kubanga kiweereddwayo eri Abakaludaaya.’
44 Fields shall be bought for money, and deeds shall be written, and sealed, and witnesses shall be taken, in the land of Benjamin, and round about Jerusalem, in the cities of Juda, and in the cities on the mountains, and in the cities of the plains, and in the cities that are towards the south: for I will bring their captivity, saith the Lord.
Ennimiro zirigulibwa ffeeza, era n’ebiwandiiko eby’obwannannyini biteekebweko omukono, bisabikibwe era bifune n’ababijulira mu Benyamini, ne mu byalo ebyetoolodde Yerusaalemi, ne mu bibuga bya Yuda ne mu bibuga ebyetoolodde Yerusaalemi, ne mu byalo bya Yuda ne mu bibuga eby’omu nsi ey’ensozi, ne mu bibuga eby’omu nsenyi ne mu bibuga eby’omu bukiikaddyo, kubanga ndikomyawo okukulaakulana kwabwe, bw’ayogera Mukama.”
