Jeremiah 36
1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, that this word came to Jeremias by the Lord, saying:
Mu mwaka ogwokuna ogw’obufuzi bwa Yekoyakimu mutabani wa Yosiya kabaka wa Yuda ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yeremiya nga kigamba nti,
2 Take thee a roll of a book, and thou shalt write in it all the words that I have spoken to thee against Israel and Juda, and against all the nations from the day that I spoke to thee, from the days of Josias even to this day.
“Twala omuzingo gw’empapula oguwandiikeko ebigambo byonna bye njogedde naawe ebikwata ku Isirayiri, ne Yuda n’amawanga gonna okuva mu biseera bye natandika okwogera naawe okuva mu bufuzi bwa Yosiya okutuusa kaakano.
3 If so be, when the house of Juda shall hear all the evils that I purpose to do unto them, that they may return every man from his wicked way: and I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin.
Oboolyawo abantu ba Yuda bwe banaawulira ku bikangabwa bye ntegeka okubateekako, buli omu ku bo anaakyuka okuleka amakubo ge amabi, ndyoke mbasonyiwe ebibi byabwe n’obutali butuukirivu bwabwe.”
4 So Jeremias called Baruch the son of Nerias: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremias all the words of the Lord, which he spoke to him, upon the roll of a book.
Awo Yeremiya n’ayita Baluki mutabani wa Neriya, era nga Yeremiya ayogera ebigambo byonna Mukama bye yali ayogedde naye, Baluki n’abiwandiika ku muzingo.
5 And Jeremias commanded Baruch, saying: I am shut up, and cannot go into the house of the Lord.
Awo Yeremiya n’agamba Baluki nti, “Nagaanibwa okugenda mu nnyumba ya Mukama.
6 Go thou in therefore, and read out of the volume, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the Lord, in the hearing of all the people in the house of the Lord on the fasting day: and also thou shalt read them in the hearing of all Juda that come out of their cities:
Kale laga mu nnyumba ya Mukama ku lunaku olw’okusiiba osomere abantu ebigambo bya Mukama ebiri ku muzingo by’owandiise nga njogera. Bisomere abantu ba Yuda bonna abava mu bibuga byabwe.
7 If so be they may present their supplication before the Lord, and may return every one from his wicked way: for great is the wrath and indignation which the Lord hath pronounced against this people.
Oboolyawo banaaleeta okwegayirira kwabwe eri Mukama, era buli omu anaava mu makubo ge amabi, kubanga obusungu n’ekiruyi Mukama by’agambye okutuusa ku bantu bano binene nnyo.”
8 And Baruch the son of Nerias did according to all that Jeremias the prophet had commanded him, reading out of the volume the words of the Lord in the house of the Lord.
Baluki mutabani wa Neriya n’akola byonna nnabbi Yeremiya bye yamugamba okukola; n’asomera, ebigambo bya Mukama okuva mu muzingo, mu yeekaalu ya Mukama.
9 And it came to pass in the fifth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the Lord to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that were come together out of the cities of Juda to Jerusalem.
Mu mwezi ogwomwenda ogw’omwaka ogwokutaano ogw’obufuzi bwa Yekoyakimu mutabani wa Yosiya kabaka wa Yuda, ekiseera eky’okusiibira mu maaso ga Mukama kyalangirirwa eri abantu bonna mu Yerusaalemi era n’abo abaali bavudde mu bibuga bya Yuda.
10 And Baruch read out of the volume the words of Jeremias in the house of the Lord, in the treasury of Gamarias the son of Saphan the scribe, in the upper court, in the entry of the new gate of the house of the Lord, in the hearing of all the people.
Awo ng’abantu bonna bawulira, Baluki n’asoma ebigambo bya Yeremiya okuva mu muzingo, mu nnyumba ya Mukama ng’ali mu kisenge kya Gemaliya mutabani wa Safani omuwandiisi, ekyali mu luggya olw’ekyengulu, mu mulyango omuggya ogw’ennyumba ya Mukama ng’abantu bonna bawulira.
11 And when Micheas the son of Gamarias the son of Saphan had heard out of the book all the words of the Lord,
Mikaaya mutabani wa Gemaliya mutabani wa Safani bwe yawulira ebigambo bya Mukama byonna ebyali mu muzingo,
12 He went down into the king’s house to the secretary’s chamber: and behold all the princes sat there, Elisama the scribe, and Dalaias the son of Semeias, and Elnathan the son of Achobor, and Gamarias the son of Saphan, and Sedecias the son of Hananias, and all the princes.
n’agenda eri ennyumba y’omuwandiisi mu lubiri lwa kabaka, abakungu bonna gye baali batudde: Erisaama omuwandiisi, ne Deraya mutabani wa Semaaya, ne Erunasani mutabani wa Akubooli, ne Gemaliya mutabani wa Safani, ne Zeddekiya mutabani wa Kananiya, n’abakungu bonna abalala.
13 And Micheas told them all the words that he had heard when Baruch read out of the volume in the hearing of the people.
Mikaaya ng’ababuulidde byonna bye yali awulidde Baluki asomera abantu okuva ku muzingo,
14 Therefore all the princes sent Judi the son of Nathanias, the son of Selemias, the son of Chusi, to Baruch, saying: Take in thy hand the volume in which thou hast read in the hearing of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Nerias took the volume in his hand, and came to them.
abakungu bonna ne batuma Yekudi mutabani wa Nesaniya, mutabani wa Seremiya mutabani wa Kuusi eri Baluki amugambe nti, “Leeta omuzingo gw’osomedde abantu, naawe ojje.” Awo Baluki mutabani wa Neriya n’atwalira omuzingo mu mikono gye n’agubaleetera.
15 And they said to him: Sit down and read these things in our hearing. And Baruch read in their hearing.
Ne bamugamba nti, “Tuula wansi, ogutusomere.” Awo Baluki n’agubasomera.
16 And when they had heard all the words, they looked upon one another with astonishment, and they said to Baruch: We must tell the king all these words.
Bwe baawulira ebigambo ebyo byonna, buli omu n’atunula ku munne ng’atidde ne bagamba Baluki nti, “Tuteekwa okubuulira kabaka ebigambo bino byonna.”
17 And they asked him, saying: Tell us how didst thou write all these words from his mouth.
Awo ne babuuza Baluki nti, “Tubuulire, wazze otya okuwandiika bino byonna? Yeremiya ye yabikugambye?”
18 And Baruch said to them: With his mouth he pronounced all these words as if he were reading to me: and I wrote in a volume with ink.
Baluki n’abaddamu nti, “Weewaawo ye yayogedde ebigambo bino byonna, nze ne mbiwandiika ne bwino ku muzingo.”
19 And the princes said to Baruch: Go, and hide thee, both thou and Jeremias, and let no man know where you are.
Awo abakungu bonna ne bagamba Baluki nti, “Ggwe ne Yeremiya mugende mwekweke. Temukkiriza muntu yenna kumanya gye muli.”
20 And they went in to the king into the court: but they laid up the volume in the chamber of Elisama the scribe: and they told all the words in the hearing of the king.
Bwe baamala okutereka omuzingo mu kisenge kya Erisaama omuwandiisi, ne bagenda eri kabaka mu luggya ne bamutegeeza byonna.
21 And the king sent Judi that he should take the volume: who bringing it out of the chamber of Elisama the scribe, read it in the hearing of the king, and of all the princes that stood about the king.
Kabaka n’atuma Yekudi okuleeta omuzingo, Yekudi n’aguleeta okuva mu kisenge kya Erisaama omuwandiisi agusomere kabaka n’abakungu bonna abaali bamuyimiridde ku lusegere.
22 Now the king sat in the winter house, In the ninth month: and there was a hearth before him full of burning coals.
Gwali mwezi gwa mwenda ne kabaka yali atudde mu nnyumba etuulwamu mu budde obw’obutiti, ng’omuliro gwakira mu kibya kyagwo mu maaso ge.
23 And when Judi had read three or four pages, he cut it with the penknife, and he cast it into the Are, that was upon the hearth, till all the volume was consumed with the fire that was on the hearth.
Buli Yekudi lwe yasomangako empapula ssatu oba nnya ez’omuzingo, kabaka ng’azisala n’akambe k’omuwandiisi n’azisuula mu muliro okutuusa omuzingo gwonna lwe gwajjiira mu muliro.
24 And the king and all his servants that heard all these words were not afraid, nor did they rend their garments.
Kabaka n’abantu bonna abaawulira ebigambo bino tebaatya, wadde okuyuza engoye zaabwe.
25 But yet Elnathan, and Dalaias, and Gamarias spoke to the king, not to burn. the book: and he heard them not.
Newaakubadde nga Erunasani, ne Deraaya ne Gemaliya beegayirira kabaka obutayokya muzingo, teyabawuliriza.
26 And the king commanded Jeremiel the son of Amelech, and Saraias the son of Ezriel, and Selemias the son of Abdeel, to take up Baruch the scribe, and Jeremias the prophet: but the Lord hid them.
Naye kabaka yalagira Yerameeri mutabani wa kabaka ne Seraya mutabani wa Azulyeri ne Seremiya mutabani wa Abudeeri okukwata Baluki omuwandiisi ne nnabbi Yeremiya, wabula Mukama ng’abakwese.
27 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias the prophet, after that the king had burnt the volume, and the words that Baruch had written from the mouth of Jeremias, saying:
Kabaka ng’amaze okwokya omuzingo ogwalimu ebigambo Baluki bye yali awandiise nga Yeremiya abyogera, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yeremiya nti,
28 Take thee again another volume: and write in it all the former words that were in the first volume which Joakim the king of Juda hath burnt.
“Twala omuzingo omulala oguwandiikeko ebigambo byonna ebyali ku muzingo ogwasooka, Yekoyakimu kabaka wa Yuda gwe yayokya.
29 And thou shalt say to Joakim the king of Juda: Thus saith the Lord: Thou hast burnt that volume, saying: Why hast thou written therein, and said: The king of Babylon shall come speedily, and shall lay waste this land: and shall cause to cease from thence man and beast?
Gamba ne Yekoyakimu kabaka wa Yuda nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, Wayokya omuzingo ogwo n’ogamba nti, “Lwaki wakiwandiikamu nti kabaka w’e Babulooni alijja azikiririze ddala ensi eno agimalemu abantu n’ensolo?”
30 Therefore thus saith the Lord against Joakim the king of Juda: He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out to the heat by day, and to the frost by night.
Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama eri Yekoyakimu kabaka wa Yuda nti, Tajja kubeera na muntu n’omu kutuula ku ntebe ya Dawudi, n’omulambo gwe gulisuulibwa ebweru gwanikibwe mu musana emisana ne mu butiti ekiro.
31 And I will punish him, and his seed and his servants, for their iniquities, and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Juda all the evil that I have pronounced against them, but they have not heard.
Ndimubonereza n’abaana be, ne bakalabaalaba be olw’okwonoona kwabwe. Ndimuleetako ne bonna ababeera mu Yerusaalemi ne bonna ababeera mu Yuda buli kibonoobono kye naboogerako, kubanga tebawulirizza.’”
32 And Jeremias took another volume, and gave it to Baruch the son of Nerias the scribe: who wrote in it from the mouth of Jeremias all the words of the book which Joakim the king of Juda had burnt with fire: and there were added besides many more words than had been before.
Olwo Yeremiya n’atwala omuzingo omulala n’aguwa omuwandiisi Baluki mutabani wa Neriya; nga Yeremiya ayogera, Baluki yawandiikamu ebigambo byonna ebyali mu muzingo guli Yekoyakimu kabaka wa Yuda gwe yayokya mu muliro. N’ebigambo bingi ebifaanana bwe bityo byayongerwamu.
