Jeremiah 33
1 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias the second time, while he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying:
Yeremiya bwe yali ng’akyali mu kkomera mu luggya lw’omukuumi, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kimujjira omulundi ogwokubiri nti,
2 Thus saith the Lord, who will do, and will form it, and prepare it, the Lord is his name.
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, oyo eyakola ensi, Mukama eyagikola era n’agiteekawo, Mukama lye linnya lye:
3 Cry to me and I will hear thee: and I will shew thee great things, and sure things which thou knowest not.
‘Mumpite n’abayitaba ne mbalaga ebikulu ebitanoonyezeka bye mutamanyi.’
4 For thus saith the Lord the God of Israel to the houses of this city, and to the houses of the king of Juda, which rue destroyed, and to the bulwarks, and to the sword.
Kubanga bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri ku mayumba agali mu kibuga kino era ne ku mbiri z’obwakabaka bwa Yuda ebyamenyebwamenyebwa okukozesebwa ng’entuumo eziziyiza obulumbaganyi n’ekitala
5 Of them that come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the dead bodies of the men whom I have slain in my wrath, and in my indignation, hiding my face from this city because of all their wickedness.
mu lutalo n’Abakaludaaya. ‘Birijjula emirambo gy’abasajja be nditta olw’obusungu bwange n’ekiruyi. Ndikweka amaaso gange okuva ku kibuga kino olw’obutali butuukirivu bwabwe bwonna.
6 Behold I will close their wounds and give them health, and I will cure them: and I will reveal to them the prayer of peace and truth.
“‘Naye ndikiwa obulamu n’okuwonyezebwa; ndiwonya abantu bange, mbaleetere okweyagalira mu mirembe emigazi era eminywevu.
7 And I will bring back the captivity of Juda, and the captivity of Jerusalem: and I will build them as from the beginning.
Ndikomyawo Yuda ne Isirayiri okubaggya mu buwambe era mbazimbe nga bwe baasooka okubeera.
8 And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me: and I will forgive all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned against me, and despised me.
Ndibalongoosa okubaggyako ebibi byonna bye bannyonoona era mbasonyiwe n’ekibi eky’okunjeemera.
9 And it shall be to me a name, and a joy, and a praise, and a gladness before all the nations of the earth, that shall hear of all the good things which I will do to them: and they shall fear and be troubled for all the good things, and for all the peace that I will make for them.
Olwo ekibuga kino kirindetera okwongera okumanyika, n’essanyu, n’ettendo era n’ekitiibwa eri amawanga gonna ku nsi agaliwulira ebintu byonna ebirungi bye mbakolera; era balyewuunya bakankane olw’okukulaakulana n’emirembe gye nkiwa.’
10 Thus saith the Lord: There shall be heard again in this place (which you say is desolate, because there is neither man nor beast: in the cities of Juda, and without Jerusalem, which are desolate without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast)
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Mwogera ku kifo kino nti, “Matongo agaalekebwa awo, omutali bantu wadde ensolo.” Ate nga mu bibuga bya Yuda n’enguudo za Yerusaalemi ezalekebwawo omutali bantu wadde ensolo, muliddamu okuwulirwa nate
11 The voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that shall say: Give ye glory to the Lord of hosts, for the Lord is good, for his mercy endureth for ever: and of them that shall bring their vows into the house of the Lord: for I will bring back the captivity of the land as at the first, saith the Lord.
amaloboozi ag’essanyu n’okujaguza, n’amaloboozi g’omugole ne bba, n’amaloboozi gaabo abaleeta ekiweebwayo eky’okwebaza eri ennyumba ya Mukama, nga bagamba nti, “‘“Mumwebaze Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, kubanga Mukama mulungi; okwagala kwe kubeerera emirembe gyonna.” Kubanga ndizzaawo omukisa gw’eggwanga lino nga bwe gwali mu kusooka,’ bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
12 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: There shall be again in this place that is desolate without man, and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, an habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye nti, ‘Mu kifo kino ekirekeddwa awo omutali bantu wadde ensolo, mu bibuga byakyo byonna nate muliddamu amalundiro ag’abasumba mwe banaawummulizanga ebisibo byabwe.
13 And in the cities on the mountains, and in the cities of the plains, and in the cities that are towards the south: and in the land of Benjamin, and round about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Juda shall the flocks pass again under the hand of him that numbereth them, saith the Lord.
Mu bibuga eby’ensi ey’obusozi, eby’eri wansi w’ensozi ez’omu bugwanjuba era ne Negebu, mu kitundu kya Benyamini, mu byalo ebyetoolodde Yerusaalemi n’ebibuga ebyetoolodde Yuda mwonna ebisibo biriddamu okuyita wansi w’omukono gw’oyo abibala,’ bw’ayogera Mukama.
14 Behold the days come, saith the Lord, that I will perform the good word that I have spoken to the house of Israel, and to the house of Juda.
“‘Ennaku zijja,’ bw’ayogera Mukama, ‘lwe ndituukiriza ekisuubizo eky’ekisa kye nakolera ennyumba ya Isirayiri n’ennyumba ya Yuda.
15 In those days, and at that time, I will make the bud of justice to spring forth unto David, and he shall do judgment and justice in the earth.
“‘Mu nnaku ezo era mu kiseera ekyo ndireeta Ettabi ettukuvu mu lunyiriri lwa Dawudi era alikola eby’amazima era ebituufu mu nsi.
16 In those days shall Juda be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell securely: and this is the name that they shall call him, The Lord our just one.
Mu nnaku ezo Yuda alirokolebwa ne Yerusaalemi alibeera mirembe. Lino lye linnya ly’aliyitibwa nti, Mukama Obutuukirivu bwaffe.’”
17 For thus saith the Lord: There shall not be cut off from David a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel.
Kubanga bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Dawudi talirema kubeera na muntu kutuula ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka bw’ennyumba ya Isirayiri,
18 Neither shall there be cut off from the priests and Levites a man before my face to offer holocausts, and to burn sacrifices, and to kill victims continually:
wadde bakabona, n’Abaleevi, okulemwa okubeera n’omusajja ow’okuyimirira mu maaso gange ebbanga lyonna okuwaayo ssaddaaka ezokebwa, okwokya ekiweebwayo eky’empeke era n’okuwaayo ssaddaaka.”
19 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying:
Ekigambo kya Mukama kyajjira Yeremiya nti,
20 Thus saith the Lord: If my covenant with the day can be made void, and my covenant with the night, that there should not be day and night in their season:
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Bw’oba osobola okumenya endagaano yange n’emisana era n’endagaano yange n’ekiro, ne kiba nti emisana n’ekiro tebijja mu biseera byabyo ebyateekebwawo,
21 Also my covenant with David my servant may be made void, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne, and with the Levites and priests my ministers.
olwo endagaano yange ne Dawudi omuddu wange, n’endagaano yange n’Abaleevi, ne bakabona, n’abaweereza bange eyinza okumenyebwa, Dawudi aleme kuddayo kuba na muntu wa mu nju ye okufuga ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka.
22 As the stars of heaven cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea be measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites my ministers.
Ndifuula ab’enju ya Dawudi omuddu wange n’Abaleevi abaweereza mu maaso gange okwala ng’emmunyeenye ez’oku ggulu ezitabalika era abatabalika ng’omusenyu gw’okulubalama lw’ennyanja ogutapimika.’”
23 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying:
Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yeremiya nti,
24 Hast thou not seen what this people hath spoken, saying: The two families which the Lord had chosen, are cast off: and they have despised my people, so that it is no more a nation before them?
Tonategeera nti abantu bano bagamba nti, “Mukama agaanye obwakabaka obubiri bwe yalonda? Kale banyooma abantu bange era tebakyababala ng’eggwanga.
25 Thus saith the Lord: If I have not set my covenant between day and night, and laws to heaven and earth:
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Bwe mba nga sassaawo ndagaano yange n’emisana n’ekiro n’amateeka ag’enkalakkalira ag’eggulu n’ensi,
26 Surely I will also cast; off the seed of Jacob, and of David my servant, so as not to take any of his seed to be rulers of the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will bring back their captivity, and will have mercy on them.
olwo nzija kwegaana ezzadde lya Yakobo ne Dawudi omuddu wange era sirironda n’omu ku batabani be okufuga ezzadde lya Ibulayimu, ne Isaaka ne Yakobo. Kubanga ndizzaawo nate emikisa gyabwe, era ne mbakwatirwa ekisa.’”
