Jeremiah 50
1 The word that the Lord hath spoken against Babylon, and against the land of the Chaldeans in the hand of Jeremias the prophet.
Kino kye kigambo Mukama Katonda kye yayogerera mu nnabbi Yeremiya ekikwata ku Babulooni n’ensi ey’Abakaludaaya.
2 Declare ye among the nations, and publish it, lift up a standard: proclaim, and conceal it not: say: Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is overthrown, their graven things are confounded, their idols are overthrown.
“Buulira mu mawanga era olangirire, yimusa bendera olangirire, tolekaayo kintu kyonna ogambe nti, ‘Babulooni eriwambibwa; Beri kiswale, ne Meroddaaki kijjule entiisa. Ebifaananyi bya bakatonda abakole n’emikono bijja kuswala era bitye.’
3 For a nation is come up against her out of the north, which shall make her land desolate: and there shall be none to dwell therein, from man even to beast: yea they are removed, and gone away.
Eggwanga okuva mu bukiikakkono lijja kukirumba lyonoone ensi y’Abakaludaaya. Tewali muntu alisigalamu; abantu bonna balikiddukamu era n’ensolo zonna.
4 In those days, and at that time, saith the Lord, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Juda together: going and weeping they shall make haste, and shall seek the Lord their God.
“Mu nnaku ezo, era mu kiseera ekyo,” bw’ayogera Mukama, “abantu ba Isirayiri awamu n’abantu ba Yuda balikaaba amaziga nga banoonya Mukama Katonda waabwe.
5 They shall ask the way to Sion, their faces are hitherward. They shall come, and shall be joined to the Lord by an everlasting covenant, which shall never be forgotten.
Balibuuza ekkubo eridda e Sayuuni era bakyuse obwenyi bwabwe okukitunuulira, nga boogera nti, Mujje twesibe ku Mukama Katonda mu ndagaano ey’emirembe gyonna etegenda kwerabirwa.
6 My people have been a lost flock, their shepherds have caused them to go astray, and have made them wander in the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place.
“Abantu bange babadde ndiga ezibuze; abasumba baabwe babawabizza ne babatuusa ku kutaataaganira ku nsozi. Baava ku lusozi ne badda ku kasozi ne beerabira ekifo kyabwe eky’okuwummuliramu.
7 All that found them, have devoured them: and their enemies said: We have not sinned in so doing: because they have sinned against the Lord the beauty of justice, and against the Lord the hope of their fathers.
Buli eyabasanganga nga abatulugunya; abalabe baabwe ne bagamba nti, ‘Tetulina musango gwe tuzza, kubanga baajeemera Mukama Katonda, obuddukiro bwabwe obwa nnama ddala, ye Mukama, essuubi lya bakitaabwe.’
8 Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans: and be ye as kids at the head of the flock.
“Mudduke okuva e Babulooni; muleke ensi y’Abakaludaaya, mubeere ng’embuzi ezikulembera ekisibo.
9 For behold I raise up, and will bring against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the land of the north: and they shall be prepared against her, and from thence she shall be taken: their arrows, like those of a mighty man, a destroyer, shall not return in vain.
Kubanga, laba, ndigolokosa ekibiina ky’amawanga amanene okuva mu nsi ey’obukiikakkono okulumba Babulooni. Baliyimirira mu nnyiriri zaabwe bakirumbe, bakiwambe nga basinzira mu bukiikakkono. Obusaale bwabwe buliba ng’obw’abalwanyi abakugu, abataddira awo ngalo nsa.
10 And Chaldea shall be made a prey: all that waste her shall be filled, saith the Lord.
Noolwekyo ensi y’Abakaludaaya erinyagibwa; abo bonna abaliginyaga balitwala byonna bye baagala,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
11 Because you rejoice, and speak great things, pillaging my inheritance: because you are spread abroad as calves upon the grass, and have bellowed as bulls.
“Kubanga musanyuka ne mujaguza, mmwe abaanyaga omugabo gwabwe, kubanga muligita ng’ente enduusi ewuula emmere ey’empeke, ne muleekaana ng’embalaasi ennume enkulu,
12 Your mother is confounded exceedingly, and she that bore you is made even with the dust: behold she shall be the last among the nations, a wilderness unpassable, and dry.
nnyammwe alikwatibwa ensonyi; oyo eyakuzaala aliswazibwa. Aliba ensi esemberayo ddala, ensiko, ensi enkalu, eddungu.
13 Because of the wrath of the Lord it shall not be inhabited, but shall be wholly desolate: every one that shall pass by Babylon, shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
Olw’obusungu bwa Mukama Katonda tajja kubeeramu bantu, naye alisigala matongo. Bonna abayita e Babulooni balyewuunya batye era bakisooze olw’ebiwundu bye byonna.
14 Prepare yourselves against Babylon round about, all you that bend the bow: fight against her, spare not arrows: because she hath sinned against the Lord.
“Musimbe ennyiriri okwetooloola Babulooni, mwenna abanaanuula omutego. Mumulase! Temulekaawo kasaale n’akamu, kubanga yajeemera Mukama Katonda.
15 Shout against her, she hath every where given her hand, her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down, for it is the vengeance of the Lord. Take vengeance upon her: as she hath done, so do to her.
Mumukube olube ku buli ludda. Ajeemulukuse, eminaala gye gigwa, n’ebisenge bye bimenyeddwa. Kubanga kuno kwe kwesasuza kwa Mukama Katonda, mumwesasuzeeko; mumukole nga bw’akoze abalala.
16 Destroy the sower out of Babylon, and him that holdeth the sickle in the time of harvest: for fear of the sword of the dove every man shall return to his people, and every one shall flee to his own land.
Asiga mumuggye mu Babulooni, n’omukunguzi oyo akwata ekiwabyo mumuggye mu makungula. Olw’ekitala ky’omujoozi, leka buli omu addukire mu nsi y’ewaabwe, buli muntu adde eri abantu be.
17 Israel is a scattered flock, the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria devoured him: and last this Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon hath broken his bones.
“Isirayiri kisibo kya ndiga ezisaasaanye, empologoma kye zigobye. Eyasooka okumulya yali kabaka wa Bwasuli; eyasembayo okumenya amagumba ge yali Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni.”
18 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will visit the king of Babylon and his land, as I have visited the king of Assyria.
Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, “Ndibonereza kabaka w’e Babulooni n’ensi ye nga bwe nabonereza kabaka w’e Bwasuli.
19 And I will bring Israel again to his habitation: and he shall feed on Carmel, and Bason, and his soul shall be satisfied in mount Ephraim, and Galaad.
Naye ndikomyawo Isirayiri mu kisibo kye era aliriira ku Kalumeeri ne Basani; alikuttira ku busozi bwa Efulayimu, ne mu Gireyaadi.
20 In those days, and at that time, saith the Lord, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none: and the sin of Juda, and there shall none be found: for I will be merciful to them, whom I shall leave.
Mu nnaku ezo, era mu biseera ebyo,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, “omusango ku Isirayiri gulinoonyezebwa, naye tegulibaawo, era n’ebibi bya Yuda birinoonyezebwa, naye tewaliba na kimu, kubanga ndisonyiwa abo bendeseewo.
21 Go up against the land of the rulers, and punish the inhabitants thereof, waste, and destroy all behind them, saith the Lord: and do according to all that I have commanded thee.
“Mulumbe ensi ye Merasayimu n’abo abali mu Pekodi. Mubagoberere mubatte, mubazikiririze ddala,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. “Mukole byonna bye mbalagidde.
22 A noise of war in the land, and a great destruction.
Oluyoogaano lw’olutalo luwulirwa mu ggwanga, eddoboozi ery’okuzikiriza okunene!
23 How is the hammer of the whole earth broken, and destroyed! how is Babylon turned into a desert among the nations!
Ennyondo y’ensi yonna ng’ekubiddwa n’emenyeka! Babulooni kifuuse matongo mu mawanga!
24 I have caused thee to fall into a snare, and thou art taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware of it: thou art found and caught, because thou hast provoked the Lord.
Nakutegera omutego, ggwe Babulooni, babagwiikiriza ne babakwata nga tebategedde, baakukwata ne bakuwamba kubanga wawakanya Mukama.
25 The Lord hath opened his armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his wrath: for the Lord the God of hosts hath a work to be done in the land of the Chaldeans.
Mukama agguddewo etterekero ly’ebyokulwanyisa bye naggyamu ebyokulwanyisa eby’ekiruyi kye, kubanga Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye alina omulimu ogw’okukola mu nsi y’Abakaludaaya.
26 Come ye against her from the uttermost borders: open that they may go forth that shall tread her down: take the stones out of the way, and make heaps, and destroy her: and let nothing of her be left.
Mujje mumulumbe mmwe abava mu buli nsonda, mumenye ebyagi eby’emmere y’empeke, mumukuŋŋaanye abe ng’entuumo y’emmere y’empeke. Mumuzikiririze ddala; waleme kusigalawo n’omu ku bo.
27 Destroy all her valiant men, let them go down to the slaughter: woe to them, for their day is come, the time of their visitation.
Mutte ennume zaabwe zonna, muzitwale zittibwe. Zibasanze kubanga olunaku lwabwe lutuuse, kye kiseera kyabwe eky’okubonerezebwa.
28 The voice of them that flee, and of them that have escaped out of the land of Babylon: to declare in Sion the revenge of the Lord our God, the revenge of his temple.
Muwulire eby’abadduka n’abanoonyi b’obubudamu okuva mu Babulooni nga balangirira mu Sayuuni engeri Mukama Katonda waffe gye yeesasuzza, gye yeesasuzza olwa yeekaalu ye.
29 Declare to many against Babylon, to all that bend the bow: stand together against her round about, and let nose escape; pay her according to her work: according to all that she hath done, do ye to her: for she hath lifted up herself against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel.
“Koowoola abalasi b’obusaale balumbe Babulooni, ne bonna abanaanuula omutego. Mumwetooloole yenna; tewaba n’omu awona. Mumusasule olw’ebikolwa bye byonna; mumukole nga bwe yakola banne. Kubanga yanyooma Mukama, Omutukuvu wa Isirayiri.
30 Therefore shall her young men fall in her streets: and all her men of war shall hold their peace in that day, saith the Lord.
Noolwekyo, abavubuka be baligwa mu nguudo; abaserikale be balisirisibwa ku lunaku olwo,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
31 Behold I come against thee, O proud one, saith the Lord the God of hosts: for thy day is come, the time of thy visitation.
“Laba, ndi mulabe wo, ggwe ow’amalala,” bw’ayogera Mukama, Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, “Kubanga olunaku lwo lutuuse, ekiseera ky’on’obonerezebwamu.
32 And the proud one shall fall, he shall fall down, and there shall be none to lift him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all round about him.
Oyo ow’amalala alyesittala agwe era teri n’omu alimuyamba kuyimuka; Ndikoleeza omuliro mu bibuga bye oguliyokya bonna abamwetoolodde.”
33 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: The children of Israel, and the children of Juda are oppressed together: all that have taken them captives, hold them fast, they will not let them go.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye nti, “Abantu ba Isirayiri banyigirizibwa awamu n’abantu ba Yuda; Bonna ababawambye babanywezezza, bagaanye okubata.
34 Their redeemer is strong, the Lord of hosts is his name: he will defend their cause in judgment, to terrify the land, and to disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
Omununuzi waabwe w’amaanyi, Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye lye linnya lye. Alirwanirira ensonga zaabwe awatali kubuusabuusa, alyoke aleete emirembe mu nsi yaabwe; wabula alireeta okutabukatabuka mu bantu ba Babulooni.
35 A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the Lord, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon her wise men.
“Ekitala kyolekedde Abakaludaaya,” bw’ayogera Mukama, “n’eri abo ababeera mu Babulooni, n’abakungu baabwe n’abasajja baabwe abajjudde amagezi!
36 A sword upon her diviners, and they shall be foolish: a sword upon her valiant ones, and they shall be dismayed.
Ekitala kyolekedde bannabbi baabwe ab’obulimba! Balifuuka balisiriwala, ekitala kyolekedde abalwanyi baabwe. Balijjula entiisa.
37 A sword upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the people that are in the midst of her: and they shall become as women: a sword upon her treasures, and they shall be made a spoil.
Ekitala kyolekedde embalaasi ze n’amagaali n’abagwira bonna abamubeeramu! Balifuuka banafu ng’abakazi. Ekitala kyolekedde eby’obugagga bwe! Birinyagibwa!
38 A drought upon her waters, and they shall be dried up: because it is a land of idols, and they glory in monstrous things.
Ekyeya kyolekedde amazzi gaamu! Galikalira. Kubanga ggwanga erisinza ebifaananyi, ebifaananyi ebirigwa eddalu olw’entiisa.
39 Therefore shall dragons dwell there with the fig fauns: and ostriches shall dwell therein, and it shall be no more inhabited for ever, neither shall it be built up from generation to generation.
“Noolwekyo ensolo z’omu nsiko ziribeera eyo n’empisi, era eyo ekiwuugulu nakyo gye kiribeera. Ekibuga ekyo tekiriddamu kubeeramu bantu wadde kutuulwamu bantu emirembe gyonna.
40 As the Lord overthrew Sodom and Gomorrha, and their neighbour cities, saith the Lord: no man shall dwell there, neither shall the son of man inhabit it.
Katonda nga bwe yazikiriza Sodomu ne Ggomola n’ebibuga ebiriraanyeewo,” bw’ayogera Mukama, “bw’atyo bw’alikikola ne mutaba muntu n’omu alikibeeramu; tewaliba n’omu alikisigalamu.
41 Behold a people cometh from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall rise from the ends of the earth.
“Laba, eggye liva mu bukiikakkono; ensi ey’amaanyi ne bakabaka bangi, bakuŋŋaana okuva ku nkomerero y’ensi.
42 They shall take the bow and the shield: they are cruel and unmerciful: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses: like a man prepared for battle against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
Balina obusaale n’amafumu, bakambwe si ba kisa. Beebagadde embalaasi zaabwe ne baba ng’amayengo agawuluguma mu nnyanja; bali ng’abasajja abalwanyi abajjira mu nnyiriri z’entalo okukulumba, ggwe Muwala wa Babulooni.
43 The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands are grown feeble: anguish hath taken hold of him, pangs as a, woman in labour.
Kabaka w’e Babulooni afunye amawulire agabafaako, n’emikono gye girebedde. Entiisa emugwiridde, ng’omukazi alumwa okuzaala.
44 Behold he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of the Jordan to the strong and beautiful: for I will make him run suddenly upon her: and who shall be the chosen one whom I may appoint over her? for who is like to me? and who shall bear up against me? and who is that shepherd that can withstand my countenance?
Ng’empologoma eva mu kibira kya Yoludaani okugenda mu ddundiro eggimu, Babulooni ndimugoba mu nsi ye awatali kutemya kikowe. Ani oyo omulonde gwe nnaawa okukola kino? Ani ali nga nze, era ani ayinza okunsomooza? Era musumba ki ayinza okuyimirirawo okumpakanya?”
45 Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, which he hath taken against Babylon: and his thoughts which he hath thought against the land of the Chaldeans: surely the little ones of the flocks shall pull them down, of a truth their habitation shall be destroyed with them.
Noolwekyo, wulira Mukama ky’ategekedde Babulooni, ky’ategese okuleeta ku nsi y’Abakaludaaya. Obwana bw’ebisibo byabwe bulitwalibwa, alizikiririza ddala ebisibo byabwe ng’abalanga obujeemu bwabwe.
46 At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard amongst the nations.
Olw’oluyoogaano lw’okuwambibwa kwa Babulooni, ensi erikankana; okukaaba kwe kuliwulirwa mu mawanga.
