Jeremiah 36
1 Now it came about in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from 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 a book and put down in it all the words I have said to you against Israel and against Judah and against all the nations, from the day when my word came to you in the days of Josiah till 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 It may be that the people of Judah, hearing of all the evil which it is my purpose to do to them, will be turned, every man from his evil ways; so that they may have my forgiveness for their evil-doing 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 Then Jeremiah sent for Baruch, the son of Neriah; and Baruch took down from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the Lord which he had said to him, writing them in 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 Jeremiah gave orders to Baruch, saying, I am shut up, and am not able to go into the house of the Lord:
Awo Yeremiya n’agamba Baluki nti, “Nagaanibwa okugenda mu nnyumba ya Mukama.
6 So you are to go, reading there from the book, which you have taken down from my mouth, the words of the Lord, in the hearing of the people in the Lord's house, on a day when they go without food, and in the hearing of all the men of Judah who have come out from their towns.
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 It may be that their prayer for grace will go up to the Lord, and that every man will be turned from his evil ways: for great is the wrath and the passion made clear by the Lord 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 Neriah, did as Jeremiah the prophet gave him orders to do, reading from the book the words of the Lord in the Lord's house.
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 Now it came about in the fifth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that it was given out publicly that all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people who came from the towns of Judah to Jerusalem, were to keep from food before the Lord.
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 Then Baruch gave a public reading of the words of Jeremiah from the book, in the house of the Lord, in the room of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher square, as one goes in by the new doorway of the Lord's house, 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 Micaiah, the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, after hearing all the words of the Lord from the book,
Mikaaya mutabani wa Gemaliya mutabani wa Safani bwe yawulira ebigambo bya Mukama byonna ebyali mu muzingo,
12 Went down to the king's house, to the scribe's room: and all the rulers were seated there, Elishama the scribe and Delaiah, the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan, the son of Achbor, and Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah, the son of Hananiah, and all the rulers.
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 Then Micaiah gave them an account of all the words which had come to his ears when Baruch was reading the book to the people.
Mikaaya ng’ababuulidde byonna bye yali awulidde Baluki asomera abantu okuva ku muzingo,
14 So all the rulers sent Jehudi, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, Take in your hand the book from which you have been reading to the people and come. So Baruch, the son of Neriah, took the book in his hand and came down 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 Then they said to him, Be seated now, and give us a reading from it. So Baruch did so, reading it to them.
Ne bamugamba nti, “Tuula wansi, ogutusomere.” Awo Baluki n’agubasomera.
16 Now it came about that, after hearing all the words, they said to one another in fear, We will certainly give the king an account of 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 questioning Baruch, they said, Say now, how did you put all these words down in writing from his mouth?
Awo ne babuuza Baluki nti, “Tubuulire, wazze otya okuwandiika bino byonna? Yeremiya ye yabikugambye?”
18 Then Baruch, answering, said, He said all these things to me by word of mouth, and I put them down with ink in the book.
Baluki n’abaddamu nti, “Weewaawo ye yayogedde ebigambo bino byonna, nze ne mbiwandiika ne bwino ku muzingo.”
19 Then the rulers said to Baruch, Go and put yourself in a safe place, you and Jeremiah, and let no man have knowledge of where you are.
Awo abakungu bonna ne bagamba Baluki nti, “Ggwe ne Yeremiya mugende mwekweke. Temukkiriza muntu yenna kumanya gye muli.”
20 Then they went into the open square to the king; but the book they put away in the room of Elishama the scribe; and they gave the king an account of all the words.
Bwe baamala okutereka omuzingo mu kisenge kya Erisaama omuwandiisi, ne bagenda eri kabaka mu luggya ne bamutegeeza byonna.
21 So the king sent Jehudi to get the book, and he took it from the room of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi gave a reading of it in the hearing of the king and all the rulers who were by the king's side.
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 was seated in the winter house, and a fire was burning in the fireplace in front of him.
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 it came about that whenever Jehudi, in his reading, had got through three or four divisions, the king, cutting them with his penknife, put them into the fire, till all the book was burned up in the fire which was burning in the fireplace.
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 But they had no fear and gave no signs of grief, not the king or any of his servants, after hearing all these words.
Kabaka n’abantu bonna abaawulira ebigambo bino tebaatya, wadde okuyuza engoye zaabwe.
25 And Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made a strong request to the king not to let the book be burned, but he would not give ear to them.
Newaakubadde nga Erunasani, ne Deraaya ne Gemaliya beegayirira kabaka obutayokya muzingo, teyabawuliriza.
26 And the king gave orders to Jerahmeel, the king's son, and Seraiah, the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah, the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet: but the Lord kept them safe.
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 Then after the book, in which Baruch had put down the words of Jeremiah, had been burned by the king, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,
Kabaka ng’amaze okwokya omuzingo ogwalimu ebigambo Baluki bye yali awandiise nga Yeremiya abyogera, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yeremiya nti,
28 Take another book and put down in it all the words which were in the first book, which Jehoiakim, king of Judah, put into the fire.
“Twala omuzingo omulala oguwandiikeko ebigambo byonna ebyali ku muzingo ogwasooka, Yekoyakimu kabaka wa Yuda gwe yayokya.
29 And about Jehoiakim, king of Judah, you are to say, This is what the Lord has said: You have put this book into the fire, saying, Why have you put in it that the king of Babylon will certainly come, causing the destruction of this land and putting an end to every man and beast in it?
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 For this reason the Lord has said of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, He will have no son to take his place on the seat of David: his dead body will be put out to undergo the heat of the day and the cold of the 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 send punishment on him and on his seed and on his servants for their evil-doing; I will send on them and on the people of Jerusalem and the men of Judah, all the evil which I said against them, but they did not give ear.
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 Then Jeremiah took another book, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who put down in it, from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of the book which had been burned in the fire by Jehoiakim, king of Judah: and in addition a number of other words of the same sort.
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.
