Jeremiah 49
1 Concerning the children of Ammon. Thus saith Jehovah: Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? Why is Malcam heir of Gad, and his people dwell in the cities thereof?
Ebikwata ku baana ba Amoni bye bino. Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “Isirayiri terina baana balenzi? Terina basika? Lwaki Malukamu atutte Gaadi? Lwaki abantu be batutte ebibuga by’e Gaadi?
2 Therefore behold, days come, saith Jehovah, that I will cause the clamour of war to be heard in Rabbah of the children of Ammon; and it shall be a desolate heap; and her towns shall be burned with fire; and Israel shall possess them that possessed him, saith Jehovah.
Naye ennaku zijja,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, “lwe ndiraya eŋŋoma ezirangirira olutalo ku Labba eky’abawala ba Amoni. Kirifuuka ntuumu ya mafunfugu, n’ebyalo ebiriraanyeewo byokebwe omuliro. Isirayiri eryoke egobere ebweru abo abagigoba,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
3 Howl, Heshbon! for Ai is laid waste; cry, daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth, lament and run to and fro within the enclosures: for Malcam shall go into captivity, his priests and his princes together.
“Kaaba, ggwe Kesuboni, kubanga Ayi kizikiridde! Mukaabe mmwe abatuuze b’omu Labba! Mwesibe ebibukutu mukungubage. Mudduke mudde eno n’eri mu bisenge by’ekibuga, kubanga Malukamu alitwalibwa mu busibe, awamu ne bakabona n’abakungu.
4 Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys? Thy valley shall flow down, O backsliding daughter, that trusteth in her treasures, [saying, ] Who shall come against me?
Lwaki mwenyumiriza olw’ebiwonvu byammwe, ne mwenyumiriza olw’ebiwonvu ebigimu? Ggwe omuwala atali mwesigwa, weesiga obugagga bwo n’ogamba nti, ‘Ani alinnumba?’
5 Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord Jehovah of hosts, from all that are about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall assemble the fugitives.
Ndikuleetako entiisa, okuva mu abo bonna abakwetoolodde,” bw’ayogera Mukama, Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye. “Buli omu ku mmwe aligobebwa, era tewali n’omu alikuŋŋaanya abadduka.
6 And afterwards I will turn the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith Jehovah.
“Naye oluvannyuma ndikomyawo nate omukisa gy’abaana ba Amoni,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
7 Concerning Edom. Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Is there no more wisdom in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom spent?
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye nti, “Tewakyali magezi mu Temani? Abeegendereza babuliddwa okutegeera? Amagezi gaabwe gaweddemu ensa?
8 Flee, turn back, dwell deep down, ye inhabitants of Dedan! For I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I visit him.
Mukyuke mudduke mwekweke mu mpuku eziri ewala mmwe abatuuze b’e Dedani, kubanga ndireeta ekikangabwa ku Esawu, mu kiseera bwe ndimubonerereza.
9 If grape-gatherers had come to thee, would they not have left a gleaning? If thieves by night, they would destroy only till they had enough.
Abanozi b’emizabbibu singa bazze gy’oli, tebandikuleseeko mizabbibu mibale bubazi? Singa ababbi bazze ekiro, tebandibbye byonna bye beetaaga?
10 But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, that he is unable to hide himself: his seed is wasted, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not.
Naye ndyambula Esawu mwerule; ndizuula ebifo bye mwe yeekweka, aleme kwekweka. Abaana be, n’ab’eŋŋanda ze n’ab’omuliraano baakuzikirira, era wa kuggwaawo.
11 Leave thine orphans, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me.
Bamulekwa mu mmwe mubaleke, ndibalabirira. Ne bannamwandu mu mmwe banneesige.”
12 For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup shall assuredly drink; and thou indeed, shouldest thou be altogether unpunished? Thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “Obanga abo abatandinywedde ku kikompe bawaliriziddwa okukinywako, lwaki mmwe temubonerezebwa? Temuuleme kubonerezebwa, mulina okukinywa.
13 For I have sworn by myself, saith Jehovah, that Bozrah shall become an astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.
Neerayirira,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “Bozula alifuuka matongo era ekibuga ekijjudde entiisa, ekinyoomebwa era ekikolimire, era ebibuga bye byonna biriba matongo emirembe gyonna.”
14 I have heard a rumour from Jehovah, and an ambassador is sent among the nations: — Gather yourselves together, and come against her and rise up for the battle.
Mpulidde obubaka okuva eri Mukama Katonda. Omubaka yatumibwa eri amawanga okugamba nti, “Mwekuŋŋaanye mukirumbe! Mugolokoke mukole olutalo!”
15 For behold, I have made thee small among the nations, despised among men.
“Kaakano ndibafuula aba wansi ennyo mu mawanga, abanyoomebwa mu bantu.
16 Thy terribleness, the pride of thy heart, hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill. Though thou shouldest make thy nest high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith Jehovah.
Entiisa gy’oleeta n’amalala g’omutima gwo bikulimbye, mmwe ababeera mu bunnya bw’amayinja, mmwe ababeera waggulu mu nsozi. Wadde nga muzimba ebisu byammwe okubeera waggulu nga eby’empungu, ndibawanulayo ne mbasuula wansi,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
17 And Edom shall be an astonishment: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss, because of all the plagues thereof.
“Edomu kirifuuka kyerolerwa, abo bonna abayitawo balyewuunya batye olw’ebiwundu bye byonna.
18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, and their neighbour cities, saith Jehovah, no one shall dwell there, neither shall a son of man sojourn therein.
Nga Sodomu ne Ggomola bwe byayonoonebwa, wamu n’ebibuga ebirala ebiriraanyeewo,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, “tewaliba n’omu abibeeramu; tewali musajja alikituulamu.
19 Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of the Jordan against the strong habitation; for I will make them suddenly run away from it; and who is a chosen [man] whom I shall appoint over her? For who is like me? and who will assign me a time? and who is that shepherd that will stand before me?
“Ng’empologoma eva mu bisaka by’omu Yoludaani okugenda mu muddo omugimu, ndigoba Edomu mu nsi ye amangu n’embiro. Ani oyo omulonde gwe nnaateekawo akole kino? Ani ali nga nze era ani ayinza okunsomooza? Era musumba wa ndiga ki ayinza okunjolekera?”
20 Therefore hear the counsel of Jehovah, which he hath taken against Edom, and his purposes which he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: The little ones of the flock shall certainly draw them away; he shall certainly make their habitation desolate for them.
Noolwekyo, muwulire Mukama Katonda kyategese okuleeta ku Edomu, kyategekedde abo abatuula mu Temani. Endiga ento mu bisibo za kuwalulwa, alyonoonera ddala ebisibo byazo ku lwabwe.
21 The earth quaketh at the sound of their fall; there is a cry, the sound whereof is heard in the Red sea.
Bwe baligwa ensi erikankana, emiranga gyabwe giriwulirwa mu Nnyanja Emyufu.
22 Behold, he shall come up, and fly as an eagle, and spread forth his wings against Bozrah; and at that day the heart of the mighty men of Edom shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
Laba, alibuuka mu bire ng’empungu n’atumbiira, n’alyoka akka ng’ayanjululiza ebiwaawaatiro bye ku Bozula. Ku lunaku olwo emitima gy’abalwanyi ba Edomu giribeewanika ng’ogw’omukazi alumwa okuzaala.
23 Concerning Damascus. Hamath is put to shame, and Arpad; for they have heard evil tidings, they are melted away: there is distress on the sea; it cannot be quiet.
Ebikwata ku Damasiko: “Kamasi ne Alupaadi biweddemu amaanyi, kubanga biwulidde amawulire amabi. Bakeŋŋentereddwa, batabuddwa ng’ennyanja esiikuuse, tebasobola kutereera.
24 Damascus is grown feeble: she turneth herself to flee, and terror hath seized on her; trouble and sorrows have taken hold of her as of a woman in travail.
Ddamasiko ayongobedde, akyuse adduke era okutya kumukutte; obubalagaze n’obuyinike bimunyweezezza, obulumi nga obw’omukazi alumwa okuzaala.
25 How is not the town of praise forsaken, the city of my joy!
Lwaki ekibuga ekimanyiddwa tebakidduse, ekibuga mwe nsanyukira?
26 Therefore shall her young men fall in her streets, and all the men of war be cut off in that day, saith Jehovah of hosts.
Ddala abavubuka baakyo baligwa mu nguudo, n’abalwanyi baakyo bonna ku olwo baakusirisibwa,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye.
27 And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Ben-Hadad.
“Ndiyokya bbugwe wa Ddamasiko omuliro; gwakumalawo n’embiri za Benukadaadi.”
28 Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote. Thus saith Jehovah: Arise, go up to Kedar, and spoil the men of the east.
Bino bye bikwata ku Kedali n’obwakabaka bwa Kazoli, obwalumbibwa Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni. Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “Golokoka, olumbe Kedali ozikirize abantu be bugwanjuba.
29 Their tents and their flocks shall they take; their curtains and all their vessels, and their camels, shall they carry away for themselves; and they shall cry unto them, Terror on every side!
Weema zaabwe n’ebisibo byabwe bya kutwalibwa; enju zaabwe ziryetikkibwa n’ebintu byabwe byonna n’eŋŋamira zaabwe. Abasajja balibakanga nga bawowoggana nti, ‘Akabi kavudde ku buli ludda!’
30 Flee, wander very far, dwell deep down, ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith Jehovah; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you.
“Mudduke mwekukume mangu! Mubeere mu mpuku empanvu, mmwe abatuuze b’omu Kazoli,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. “Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni abasalidde olukwe; ategese okubalumba.
31 Arise, get you up against the nation at ease, that dwelleth securely, saith Jehovah, which hath neither gates nor bars: they dwell alone.
“Golokoka olumbe eggwanga eriri mu ggandaalo, eriri mu kweyagala,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, “eggwanga eritalina miryango gisibwa wadde ebyuma; abantu baalyo babeera awo bokka.
32 And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil; and I will scatter to every wind them that have the corners [of their beard] cut off, and I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, saith Jehovah.
Eŋŋamira zaabwe zaakunyagibwa, n’amagana gaabwe amanene gatwalibwe. Ndibasaasaanya eri empewo, abo abali mu bifo eby’ewala, mbaleeteko akabi okuva ku buli ludda,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
33 And Hazor shall be a dwelling-place of jackals, a desolation for ever. No one shall dwell there, neither shall a son of man sojourn therein.
“Kazoli alifuuka kifo kya bibe, ekifo eky’amatongo eky’emirembe n’emirembe. Tewali alikibeeramu; tewali muntu alikituulamu.”
34 The word of Jehovah that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
Kino kye kigambo kya Mukama Katonda ekyajjira nnabbi Yeremiya ekikwata ku Eramu, nga Zeddekiya kabaka wa Yuda kyajje alye obwakabaka.
35 Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye nti, “Laba, ndimenya omutego gwa Eramu, amaanyi gaabwe mwe gasinga okwesigibwa.
36 And upon Elam will I bring the four winds, from the four ends of the heavens, and I will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
Era ndireeta ku Eramu empewo ennya, okuva mu bitundu ebina eby’eggulu; ndibasaasaanyiza eri empewo ezo ennya, era tewaliba nsi n’emu abawaŋŋanguse ba Eramu gye bataliddukiramu.
37 And I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life; and I will bring evil upon them, my fierce anger, saith Jehovah; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them.
Ndimenyeramenyera Eramu mu maaso g’abalabe be, mu maaso gaabo abamunoonya okumutta; ndibatuusaako ekikangabwa, n’obusungu bwange obungi ennyo,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. “Ndibawondera n’ekitala okutuusa lwe ndibamalirawo ddala.
38 And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence king and princes, saith Jehovah.
Nditeeka entebe yange ey’obwakabaka mu Eramu era nzikirize kabaka we n’abakungu be,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
39 But it shall come to pass at the end of the days, I will turn the captivity of Elam, saith Jehovah.
“Wabula ekiseera kijja, lwe ndiddiramu Eramu,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
