< Jeremiah 22 >

1 thus to say LORD to go down house: palace king Judah and to speak: speak there [obj] [the] word [the] this
Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: “Shuka kwenye jumba la kifalme la mfalme wa Yuda, utangaze ujumbe huu huko:
2 and to say to hear: hear word LORD king Judah [the] to dwell upon throne David you(m. s.) and servant/slave your and people your [the] to come (in): come in/on/with gate [the] these
‘Sikia neno la Bwana, ee mfalme wa Yuda, wewe uketiye kwenye kiti cha enzi cha Daudi: wewe, maafisa wako na watu wako mnaopitia malango haya.
3 thus to say LORD to make: do justice and righteousness and to rescue to plunder from hand: power oppressor and sojourner orphan and widow not to oppress not to injure and blood innocent not to pour: kill in/on/with place [the] this
Hili ndilo Bwana asemalo: Tenda haki na adili. Mwokoe mkononi mwa mdhalimu yeye aliyetekwa nyara. Usimtendee mabaya wala ukatili mgeni, yatima au mjane, wala usimwage damu isiyo na hatia mahali hapa.
4 that if: except if: except to make: do to make: do [obj] [the] word [the] this and to come (in): come in/on/with gate [the] house: palace [the] this king to dwell to/for David upon throne his to ride in/on/with chariot and in/on/with horse he/she/it (and servant/slave his *QK) and people his
Kwa kuwa ukiwa mwangalifu kushika maagizo haya, ndipo wafalme watakaokalia kiti cha enzi cha Daudi watakapoingia kupitia malango ya jumba hili la kifalme, wakiwa wamepanda magari na farasi, huku wakifuatana na maafisa wao na watu wao.
5 and if not to hear: obey [obj] [the] word [the] these in/on/with me to swear utterance LORD for to/for desolation to be [the] house: palace [the] this
Lakini kama hutayatii maagizo haya, asema Bwana, ninaapa kwa nafsi yangu kwamba jumba hili litakuwa gofu.’”
6 for thus to say LORD upon house: palace king Judah Gilead you(m. s.) to/for me head: top [the] Lebanon if: surely yes not to set: make you wilderness city not (to dwell *QK)
Kwa kuwa hili ndilo Bwana asemalo kuhusu jumba la kifalme la mfalme wa Yuda: “Ingawa uko kama Gileadi kwangu, kama kilele cha Lebanoni, hakika nitakufanya uwe kama jangwa, kama miji ambayo haijakaliwa na watu.
7 and to consecrate: prepare upon you to ruin man: anyone and article/utensil his and to cut: cut best cedar your and to fall: fall upon [the] fire
Nitawatuma waharabu dhidi yako, kila mtu akiwa na silaha zake, nao watazikata boriti zako nzuri za mierezi na kuzitupa motoni.
8 and to pass nation many upon [the] city [the] this and to say man: anyone to(wards) neighbor his upon what? to make: do LORD thus to/for city [the] great: large [the] this
“Watu kutoka mataifa mengi watapitia karibu na mji huu na kuulizana, ‘Kwa nini Bwana amefanya jambo la namna hii juu ya mji huu mkubwa?’
9 and to say upon which to leave: forsake [obj] covenant LORD God their and to bow to/for God another and to serve: minister them
Nalo jibu litakuwa: ‘Kwa sababu wameliacha agano la Bwana, Mungu wao, na wameabudu na kuitumikia miungu mingine.’”
10 not to weep to/for to die and not to wander to/for him to weep to weep to/for to go: went for not to return: return still and to see: see [obj] land: country/planet relatives his
Usimlilie yeye aliyekufa, wala usimwombolezee; badala yake, afadhali umlilie kwa uchungu yule aliyepelekwa uhamishoni, kwa sababu kamwe hatairudia wala kuiona tena nchi yake alikozaliwa.
11 for thus to say LORD to(wards) Shallum son: child Josiah king Judah [the] to reign underneath: instead Josiah father his which to come out: come from [the] place [the] this not to return: return there still
Kwa kuwa hili ndilo asemalo Bwana kuhusu Shalumu mwana wa Yosia, aliyeingia mahali pa baba yake kuwa mfalme wa Yuda, lakini ameondoka mahali hapa: “Yeye kamwe hatarudi tena.
12 for in/on/with place which to reveal: remove [obj] him there to die and [obj] [the] land: country/planet [the] this not to see: see still
Atafia huko mahali walipompeleka kuwa mateka; hataiona tena nchi hii.”
13 woe! to build house: home his in/on/with not righteousness and upper room his in/on/with not justice in/on/with neighbor his to serve for nothing and work his not to give: pay to/for him
“Ole wake yeye ajengaye jumba lake la kifalme kwa njia ya dhuluma, vyumba vyake vya juu kwa udhalimu, akiwatumikisha watu wa nchi yake pasipo malipo, bila kuwalipa kwa utumishi wao.
14 [the] to say to build to/for me house: home measure and upper room be wide and to tear to/for him window my and to cover in/on/with cedar and to anoint in/on/with vermilion
Asema, ‘Nitajijengea jumba kuu la kifalme, na vyumba vya juu vyenye nafasi kubwa.’ Hivyo anaweka ndani yake madirisha makubwa, huweka kuta za mbao za mierezi, na kuipamba kwa rangi nyekundu.
15 to reign for you(m. s.) to contend in/on/with cedar father your not to eat and to drink and to make: do justice and righteousness then pleasant to/for him
“Je, inakufanya kuwa mfalme huko kuongeza idadi ya mierezi? Je, baba yako hakuwa na chakula na kinywaji? Alifanya yaliyo sawa na haki, hivyo yeye akafanikiwa katika yote.
16 to judge judgment afflicted and needy then pleasant not he/she/it [the] knowledge [obj] me utterance LORD
Aliwatetea maskini na wahitaji, hivyo yeye akafanikiwa katika yote. Je, hiyo si ndiyo maana ya kunijua mimi?” asema Bwana.
17 for nothing eye your and heart your that if: except if: except upon unjust-gain your and upon blood [the] innocent to/for to pour: kill and upon [the] oppression and upon [the] oppression to/for to make: do
“Lakini macho yako na moyo wako vimeelekezwa tu katika mapato ya udhalimu, kwa kumwaga damu isiyo na hatia, kwa uonevu na ukatili.”
18 to/for so thus to say LORD to(wards) Jehoiakim son: child Josiah king Judah not to mourn to/for him woe! brother: male-sibling my and woe! sister not to mourn to/for him woe! lord and woe! (splendor his *Qk)
Kwa hiyo hili ndilo asemalo Bwana kuhusu Yehoyakimu mwana wa Yosia mfalme wa Yuda: “Hawatamwombolezea wakisema: ‘Ole, ndugu yangu! Ole, umbu langu!’ Hawatamwombolezea wakisema: ‘Ole, bwana wangu! Ole, fahari yake!’
19 tomb donkey to bury to drag and to throw from further to/for gate Jerusalem
Atazikwa maziko ya punda: ataburutwa na kutupwa nje ya malango ya Yerusalemu.”
20 to ascend: rise [the] Lebanon and to cry and in/on/with Bashan to give: cry out voice your and to cry from Abarim for to break all to love: lover you
“Panda Lebanoni ukapige kelele, sauti yako na isikike huko Bashani, piga kelele toka Abarimu, kwa kuwa wote waliojiunga nawe wameangamizwa.
21 to speak: speak to(wards) you in/on/with ease your to say not to hear: hear this way: conduct your from youth your for not to hear: obey in/on/with voice my
Nilikuonya wakati ulipojisikia kwamba uko salama, lakini ulisema, ‘Mimi sitasikiliza!’ Hii imekuwa kawaida yako tangu ujana wako; hujanitii mimi.
22 all to pasture your to pasture spirit: breath and to love: lover you in/on/with captivity to go: went for then be ashamed and be humiliated from all distress: evil your
Upepo utawaondoa wachungaji wako wote, na wale ulioungana nao wataenda uhamishoni. Kisha utaaibika na kufedheheka kwa sababu ya uovu wako wote.
23 (to dwell *Qk) in/on/with Lebanon (to make a nest *Qk) in/on/with cedar what? to sigh in/on/with to come (in): come to/for you pain agony like/as to beget
Wewe uishiye Lebanoni, wewe uliyetulia kwenye majengo ya mierezi, tazama jinsi utakavyoomboleza maumivu makali yatakapokupata, maumivu kama yale ya mwanamke mwenye utungu wa kuzaa!
24 alive I utterance LORD that if: except if: except to be Coniah son: child Jehoiakim king Judah signet upon hand right my for from there to tear you
“Hakika kama niishivyo,” asema Bwana, “hata kama wewe, Yekonia mwana wa Yehoyakimu mfalme wa Yuda, ungekuwa pete yangu ya muhuri katika mkono wangu wa kuume, bado ningekungʼoa hapo.
25 and to give: give you in/on/with hand: power to seek soul: life your and in/on/with hand: power which you(m. s.) fearing from face of their and in/on/with hand: power Nebuchadnezzar king Babylon and in/on/with hand: power [the] Chaldea
Nitakutia mikononi mwa wale wanaotafuta uhai wako, wale unaowaogopa, yaani Nebukadneza mfalme wa Babeli na kwa Wakaldayo.
26 and to cast [obj] you and [obj] mother your which to beget you upon [the] land: country/planet another which not to beget there and there to die
Nitakutupa mbali wewe na mama aliyekuzaa mwende katika nchi nyingine, ambayo hakuna hata mmoja wenu aliyezaliwa huko, nanyi mtafia huko.
27 and upon [the] land: country/planet which they(masc.) to lift: trust [obj] soul: appetite their to/for to return: return there there [to] not to return: return
Kamwe hamtarudi katika nchi mliyotamani kuirudia.”
28 vessel to despise to shatter [the] man [the] this Coniah if: surely yes article/utensil nothing pleasure in/on/with him why? to cast he/she/it and seed: children his and to throw upon [the] land: country/planet which not to know
Je, huyu mtu Yekonia ni chungu kilichodharauliwa, chungu kilichovunjika, chombo kisichotakiwa na mtu yeyote? Kwa nini yeye na watoto wake watupwe nje kwa nguvu, na kutupwa kwenye nchi wasioijua?
29 land: country/planet land: country/planet land: country/planet to hear: hear word LORD
Ee nchi, nchi, nchi, sikia neno la Bwana!
30 thus to say LORD to write [obj] [the] man [the] this childless great man not to prosper in/on/with day his for not to prosper from seed: children his man: anyone to dwell upon throne David and to rule still in/on/with Judah
Hili ndilo Bwana asemalo: “Mwandike huyu mtu kama asiye na mtoto, mtu ambaye hatafanikiwa maisha yake yote, kwa maana hakuna mtoto wake atakayefanikiwa, wala kukaa kwenye kiti cha enzi cha Daudi wala kuendelea kutawala katika Yuda.”
