Jeremias 10
1 Hear you the word of the Lord, which he has spoken to you, O house of Israel.
Muwulire ekigambo Katonda ky’abagamba, mmwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri.
2 Thus says the Lord, Learn you not the ways of the heathen, and be not alarmed at the signs of the sky; for they are alarmed at them, [falling] on their faces.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Temugobereranga makubo g’amawanga oba okweraliikirira obubonero obw’oku ku ggulu, kubanga amawanga ge byeraliikirira.
3 For the customs of the nations are vain; it is a tree cut out of the forest, the work of the carpenter, or a molten image.
Kubanga empisa ez’amawanga tezigasa; batema omuti mu kibira, omubazzi n’aguyooyoota n’ebyuma bye.
4 [They are] beautified with silver and gold, they fix them with hammers and nails;
Bagunyiriza ne ffeeza ne zaabu, bagukomerera n’enninga n’ennyondo guleme okunyeenyanyeenya.
5 they will set them up that they may not move; it is wrought silver, they will not walk, it is forged silver They must certainly be borne, for they can’t ride [of themselves]. Fear them not; for they can’t do any evil, and there is no good in them.
Bakatonda bafaanana nga ssemufu mu nnimiro y’ebibala, era tebasobola kwogera kubanga basitulwa busitulwa tebasobola kutambula. Tobatya, tebayinza kukukola kabi konna, wadde okukola akalungi n’akamu.”
Tewali ali nga ggwe, Ayi Mukama Katonda. Oli mukulu, era erinnya lyo ly’amaanyi nnyo.
Ani ataakutye, Ayi Kabaka w’amawanga? Kubanga kino kye kikugwanira. Kubanga mu bagezigezi bonna bannaggwanga ne mu bwakabaka bwabwe bwonna tewali ali nga ggwe.
Bonna tebalina magezi basirusiru, abo abayigira ku bakatonda ababajje mu miti.
Ffeeza eyaweesebwa ey’empewere eggyibwa e Talusiisi, ne zaabu eva e Yufazi, ffundi n’omuweesi wa zaabu bye bakoze byambazibwa engoye eza kaniki ne z’effulungu. Gino gyonna mirimu gy’abasajja abakalabakalaba.
Naye Mukama ye Katonda ddala, ye Katonda omulamu, era Kabaka ow’emirembe gyonna. Bw’asunguwala, ensi ekankana, amawanga tegasobola kugumira busungu bwe.
11 Thus shall you say to them, Let the gods which have not made heaven and earth perish from off the earth, and from under this sky.
“Bw’oti bw’oba obagamba nti, ‘Bakatonda abataakola ggulu na nsi ba kuzikirira bave ku nsi ne wansi w’eggulu.’”
12 It is the Lord that made the earth by his strength, who set up the world by his wisdom, and by his understanding stretched out the sky,
Mukama yakola ensi n’amaanyi ge, n’atonda ebitonde byonna n’amagezi ge, era okutegeera kwe, kwe kwayanjuluza eggulu.
13 and set abundance of waters in the sky, and brought up clouds from the ends of the earth; he made lightnings for the rain, and brought forth light out of his treasures.
Bw’afulumya eddoboozi lye, amazzi agali mu bire gawuluguma, asobozesa ebire okusituka nga biva ku nkomerero y’ensi. Amyansisa eggulu mu nkuba, era n’aggya empewo mu mawanika ge.
14 Every man is deprived of knowledge, every goldsmith is confounded because of his graven images; for he has cast false gods, there is no breath in them.
Buli muntu talina magezi era taliimu kutegeera; buli muweesi wa zaabu aswala olw’ekifaananyi ky’akoze. Kubanga ebifaananyi bye ebisaanuuse bulimba, era tebiriimu bulamu.
15 They are vain works, wrought in mockery; in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Tebiriiko kye bigasa, ebisaanye okunyoomebwa ebirizikirizibwa nga Mukama azze okusala omusango.
16 Such is not the portion of Jacob; for he that formed all things, he is his inheritance; the Lord is his name.
Oyo Katonda Omugabo gwa Yakobo tali ng’ebyo, ye Mutonzi w’ebintu byonna, era owa Isirayiri, eggwanga ery’omugabo gwe, Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye lye linnya lye.
17 He has gathered your substance from without the lodged in choice [vessels].
Mukuŋŋaanye ebyammwe muve mu nsi, mmwe abazingiziddwa.
18 For thus says the Lord, Behold, I [will] overthrow the inhabitants of this land with affliction, that your plague may be discovered.
Kubanga bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “Laba nfuumuula abantu mbaggye mu nsi eno, era ndibaleetako ennaku balyoke bawambibwe.”
19 Alas for your ruin! your plague is grievous: and I said, Surely this is your wound, and it has overtaken you.
Zinsanze nze olw’ekiwundu kyange ekinnuma ennyo. Naye ate ne ŋŋamba nti, “Eno ndwadde yange, nteekwa okugigumira.”
20 Your tabernacle is in a ruinous state, it has perished; and all your curtains have been torn asunder: my children and my cattle are no more: there is no more any place for my tabernacle, [nor] place for my curtains.
Eweema yange eyonooneddwa, era emiguwa gyonna gikutuse, abaana bange bandese, tewakyali. Tewali n’omu asigaddewo kaakano kuzimba weema yange wadde okuzimba ekigango kyange.
21 For the shepherds have become foolish, and have not sought the Lord; therefore the whole pasture has failed, and [the sheep] have been scattered.
Kubanga abasumba bafuuse ng’ensolo tebakyebuuza ku Mukama. Noolwekyo tebakulaakulana era endiga zaabwe zonna zisaasaanye.
22 Behold, there comes a sound of a noise, and a great earthquake from the land of the north, to make the cities of Juda a desolation, and a resting-place for ostriches.
Wuliriza! Amawulire gatuuse, waliwo akeegugungo ak’amaanyi okuva mu nsi ey’omu bukiikakkono, kajja kufuula ebibuga bya Yuda amatongo, ebisulo by’ebibe.
23 I know, O Lord, that man's way is not his own; neither shall a man go, and direct his going.
Mmanyi Ayi Mukama Katonda ng’obulamu bw’omuntu si bubwe, omuntu si y’aluŋŋamya amakubo ge.
24 Chasten us, O Lord, but with judgement; and not in wrath, lest you make us few.
Nnuŋŋamya, Mukama Katonda naye mu kigera ekisaanidde, si mu busungu bwo, si kulwa ng’onfuula ekitaliimu.
25 Pour out your wrath upon the nations that have not known you, and upon the families that have not called upon your name: for they have devoured Jacob, and consumed him, and have made his pasture desolate.
Yiwa obusungu bwo ku mawanga agatakumanyi, agatakutwala ng’ekikulu, ku bantu abatakoowoola linnya lyo. Kubanga bamazeewo Yakobo, bamuliiridde ddala era ne boonoona ensi ye.
