Jeremiah 50
1 The word that the Lord spake, concerning Babel, and cocerning the land of the Caldeans by the ministerie of Ieremiah the Prophet.
Kino kye kigambo Mukama Katonda kye yayogerera mu nnabbi Yeremiya ekikwata ku Babulooni n’ensi ey’Abakaludaaya.
2 Declare among the nations, and publish it, and set vp a standart, proclaime it and conceale it not: say, Babel is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken downe: her idols are confounded, and their images are burst in pieces.
“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 out of the North there commeth vp a nation against her, which shall make her lande waste, and none shall dwel therein: they shall flee, and depart, both man and beast.
Eggwanga okuva mu bukiikakkono lijja kukirumba lyonoone ensi y’Abakaludaaya. Tewali muntu alisigalamu; abantu bonna balikiddukamu era n’ensolo zonna.
4 In those daies, and at that time, sayeth the Lord, the children of Israel shall come, they, and the children of Iudah together, going, and weeping shall they goe, and seeke 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 aske the way to Zion, with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let vs cleaue to the Lord in a perpetuall couenant that shall not 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 hath beene as lost sheepe: their shepheards haue caused them to goe astray, and haue turned them away to the mountaines: they haue gone from mountaine to hil, and 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 Al that found them, haue deuoured them, and their enemies saide, We offende not, because they haue sinned against the Lord, the habitation of iustice, euen 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 Flee from the middes of Babel, and depart out of the lande of the Caldeans, and be ye as the hee goates before the flocke.
“Mudduke okuva e Babulooni; muleke ensi y’Abakaludaaya, mubeere ng’embuzi ezikulembera ekisibo.
9 For loe, I will raise, and cause to come vp against Babel a multitude of mightie natios from the North countrey, and they shall set themselues in aray against her, whereby shee shall be taken: their arrowes shall be as of a strong man, which is expert, for none shall returne in vaine.
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 Caldea shalbe a spoyle: all that spoyle her, shalbe satisfied, sayth the Lord.
Noolwekyo ensi y’Abakaludaaya erinyagibwa; abo bonna abaliginyaga balitwala byonna bye baagala,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
11 Because yee were glad and reioyced in destroying mine heritage, and because ye are growen fatte, as the calues in the grasse, and neied like strong horses,
“Kubanga musanyuka ne mujaguza, mmwe abaanyaga omugabo gwabwe, kubanga muligita ng’ente enduusi ewuula emmere ey’empeke, ne muleekaana ng’embalaasi ennume enkulu,
12 Therefore your mother shall bee sore confounded, and she that bare you, shall be ashamed: beholde, the vttermost of the nations shalbe a desert, a drie land, and a wildernes.
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 wholy desolate: euery one that goeth by Babel, shall be astonished, and hisse 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 Put your selues in aray against Babel rounde about: all ye that bende the bowe, shoote at her, spare no arrowes: for shee hath sinned against the Lord.
“Musimbe ennyiriri okwetooloola Babulooni, mwenna abanaanuula omutego. Mumulase! Temulekaawo kasaale n’akamu, kubanga yajeemera Mukama Katonda.
15 Crie against her round about: she hath giuen her hand: her foundations are fallen, and her walles are destroyed: for it is the vengeance of the Lord: take vengeance vpon her: as she hath done, doe vnto 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 from Babel, and him that handleth the sieth in the time of haruest: because of the sworde of the oppressor they shall turne euery one to his people, and they shall flee euery one to his owne 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 like scattered sheepe: the lions haue dispersed them: first the King of Asshur hath deuoured him, and last this Nebuchad-nezzar King, of Babel 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 hostes the God of Israel, Behold, I wil visit ye King of Babel, and his land, as I haue visited the King of Asshur.
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 againe to his habitation: hee shall feede on Carmel and Bashan, and his soule shall be satisfied vpon the mount Ephraim and Gilead.
Naye ndikomyawo Isirayiri mu kisibo kye era aliriira ku Kalumeeri ne Basani; alikuttira ku busozi bwa Efulayimu, ne mu Gireyaadi.
20 In those daies, and at that time, sayeth the Lord, the iniquitie of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none: and the sinnes of Iudah, and they shall not be founde: for I will be mercifull vnto them, whome I reserue.
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 Goe vp against the lande of the rebelles, euen against it, and against the inhabitantes of Pekod: destroy, and lay it waste after them, saieth the Lord, and doe according to all that I haue 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 crie of battell is in the land, and of great destruction.
Oluyoogaano lw’olutalo luwulirwa mu ggwanga, eddoboozi ery’okuzikiriza okunene!
23 Howe is the hammer of the whole world destroied, and broken! howe is Babel become desolate among the nations!
Ennyondo y’ensi yonna ng’ekubiddwa n’emenyeka! Babulooni kifuuse matongo mu mawanga!
24 I haue snared thee, and thou art taken, O Babel, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striuen against the Lord.
Nakutegera omutego, ggwe Babulooni, babagwiikiriza ne babakwata nga tebategedde, baakukwata ne bakuwamba kubanga wawakanya Mukama.
25 The Lord hath opened his treasure, and hath brought foorth the weapons of his wrath: for this is the woorke of the Lord God of hostes in the lande of the Caldeans.
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 against her from the vtmost border: open her store houses: treade on her as on sheaues, and destroy her vtterly: 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 bullockes: let them goe downe to the slaughter. Wo vnto them, for their day is come, and the time of their visitation.
Mutte ennume zaabwe zonna, muzitwale zittibwe. Zibasanze kubanga olunaku lwabwe lutuuse, kye kiseera kyabwe eky’okubonerezebwa.
28 The voyce of them that flee, and escape out of the lande of Babel to declare in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God, and the vengeance 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 Call vp the archers against Babel: al ye that bend the bow, besiege it rounde about: let none thereof escape: recompence her according to her worke, and according to all that she hath done, doe vnto her: for she hath bene proud against the Lord, euen 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 yong men fall in the streetes, and al her men of warre shalbe destroied in that day, sayeth the Lord.
Noolwekyo, abavubuka be baligwa mu nguudo; abaserikale be balisirisibwa ku lunaku olwo,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
31 Beholde, I come vnto thee, O proude man, saith the Lord God of hostes: for thy day is come, euen the time that I will visite thee.
“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 proude shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him vp: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall deuoure 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 saieth the Lord of hosts, The children of Israel, and the children of Iudah were oppressed together: and all that tooke them captiues, held them, and would not let them goe.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye nti, “Abantu ba Isirayiri banyigirizibwa awamu n’abantu ba Yuda; Bonna ababawambye babanywezezza, bagaanye okubata.
34 But their strong redeemer, whose Name is the Lord of hostes, he shall maintaine their cause, that he may giue rest to the lande, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babel.
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 sworde is vpon the Caldeans, sayeth the Lord, and vpon the inhabitants of Babel, and vpon her princes, and vpon 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 sworde is vpon the soothsaiers, and they shall dote: a sword is vpon her strong men, and they shalbe afraide.
Ekitala kyolekedde bannabbi baabwe ab’obulimba! Balifuuka balisiriwala, ekitala kyolekedde abalwanyi baabwe. Balijjula entiisa.
37 A sworde is vpon their horses and vpon their charets, and vpon all the multitude that are in the middes of her, and they shall be like women: a sworde is vpon her treasures, and they shall be spoyled.
Ekitala kyolekedde embalaasi ze n’amagaali n’abagwira bonna abamubeeramu! Balifuuka banafu ng’abakazi. Ekitala kyolekedde eby’obugagga bwe! Birinyagibwa!
38 A drought is vpon her waters, and they shall be dried vp: for it is the lande of grauen images, and they dote vpon their idoles.
Ekyeya kyolekedde amazzi gaamu! Galikalira. Kubanga ggwanga erisinza ebifaananyi, ebifaananyi ebirigwa eddalu olw’entiisa.
39 Therefore the Ziims with the Iims shall dwel there, and the ostriches shall dwel therein: for it shall be no more inhabited, neither shall it be inhabited from generation vnto 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 God destroied Sodom and Gomorah with the places thereof neere about, sayeth the Lord: so shall no man dwell theere, neither shall the sonne of man remaine therein.
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 Beholde, a people shall come from the North, and a great nation, and many Kings shall be raised vp from the coastes of the earth.
“Laba, eggye liva mu bukiikakkono; ensi ey’amaanyi ne bakabaka bangi, bakuŋŋaana okuva ku nkomerero y’ensi.
42 They shall holde the bowe and the buckeler: they are cruell and vnmercifull: their voyce shall roare like the sea, and they shall ride vpon horses, and be put in aray like men to the battell against thee, O daughter of Babel.
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 Babel hath heard the report of them, and his hands waxed feeble: sorow came vpon him, euen sorowe as of a woman in trauaile.
Kabaka w’e Babulooni afunye amawulire agabafaako, n’emikono gye girebedde. Entiisa emugwiridde, ng’omukazi alumwa okuzaala.
44 Beholde, hee shall come vp like a lyon from the swelling of Iorden vnto the strong habitation: for I will make Israel to rest, and I will make them to haste away from her: and who is a chosen man that I may appoynt against her? for who is like me, and who will appoynt me the time? and who is the shepheard that will stande before me?
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 heare the counsell of the Lord that hee hath deuised against Babel, and his purpose that hee hath conceiued against the lande of the Caldeans: surely the least of the flocke shall drawe them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate 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 noyse of the winning of Babel the earth is moued, and the crye is heard among the nations.
Olw’oluyoogaano lw’okuwambibwa kwa Babulooni, ensi erikankana; okukaaba kwe kuliwulirwa mu mawanga.
