Jeremiah 49
1 Of the children of Ammon. Thus saith the LORD: Hath Israel no sons? Hath he no heir? Why then doth Malcam take possession 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, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the children of Ammon; and it shall become a desolate mound, and her daughters shall be burned with fire; then shall Israel dispossess them that did dispossess him, saith the LORD.
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 Wail, O Heshbon, for Ai is undone; cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro among the folds; 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 flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that didst trust in thy treasures: 'Who shall come unto 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 terror upon thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts, from all that are round about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth, and there shall be none to gather up him that wandereth.
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 But afterward I will bring back the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith the LORD.
“Naye oluvannyuma ndikomyawo nate omukisa gy’abaana ba Amoni,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
7 Of Edom. Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Is wisdom no more in Teman? Is counsel perished from the prudent? Is their wisdom vanished?
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye nti, “Tewakyali magezi mu Temani? Abeegendereza babuliddwa okutegeera? Amagezi gaabwe gaweddemu ensa?
8 Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; For I do bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I shall punish 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 came to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, would they not destroy 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, and he shall not be able to hide himself; his seed is spoiled, 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 thy fatherless children, I will rear them, and let thy widows trust in Me.
Bamulekwa mu mmwe mubaleke, ndibalabirira. Ne bannamwandu mu mmwe banneesige.”
12 For thus saith the LORD: Behold, they to whom it pertained not to drink of the cup shall assuredly drink; and art thou he that shall altogether go 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 the LORD, 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 message from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the nations: 'Gather yourselves together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.'
Mpulidde obubaka okuva eri Mukama Katonda. Omubaka yatumibwa eri amawanga okugamba nti, “Mwekuŋŋaanye mukirumbe! Mugolokoke mukole olutalo!”
15 For, behold, I make thee small among the nations, and despised among men.
“Kaakano ndibafuula aba wansi ennyo mu mawanga, abanyoomebwa mu bantu.
16 Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, even the pride of thy heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill; though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the LORD.
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 become an astonishment; every one that passeth by it shall be astonished and shall hiss at 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 the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD, no man shall abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell 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 thickets of the Jordan against the strong habitation; for I will suddenly make him run away from it, and whoso is chosen, him will I appoint over it; for who is like Me? and who will appoint 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 ye the counsel of the LORD, that He hath taken against Edom; and His purposes, that He hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock shall drag them away, surely their habitation shall be appalled at 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 noise of their fall; there is a cry, the noise whereof is heard in the Red Sea.
Bwe baligwa ensi erikankana, emiranga gyabwe giriwulirwa mu Nnyanja Emyufu.
22 Behold, he shall come up and swoop down as the vulture, and spread out his wings against Bozrah; and the heart of the mighty men of Edom at that day 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 Of Damascus. Hamath is ashamed, and Arpad; for they have heard evil tidings, they are melted away; there is trouble in 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 waxed feeble, she turneth herself to flee, and trembling hath seized on her; anguish and pangs 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 the city of praise left unrepaired, the city of my joy?'
Lwaki ekibuga ekimanyiddwa tebakidduse, ekibuga mwe nsanyukira?
26 Therefore her young men shall fall in her broad places, and all the men of war shall be brought to silence in that day, saith the LORD 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 devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.
“Ndiyokya bbugwe wa Ddamasiko omuliro; gwakumalawo n’embiri za Benukadaadi.”
28 Of Kedar, and of the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote. Thus saith the LORD: Arise ye, go up against Kedar, and spoil the children 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, they shall carry away for themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall proclaim against them a 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 ye, flit far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the LORD; 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 a nation that is at ease, that dwelleth without care, saith the LORD; that have neither gates nor bars, that 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 unto all winds them that have the corners polled; and I will bring their calamity from every side of them, saith the LORD.
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 man shall abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.
“Kazoli alifuuka kifo kya bibe, ekifo eky’amatongo eky’emirembe n’emirembe. Tewali alikibeeramu; tewali muntu alikituulamu.”
34 The word of the LORD 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 the LORD 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 I will bring against Elam the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the dispersed 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, even My fierce anger, saith the LORD; 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 the LORD.
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 in the end of days, that I will bring back the captivity of Elam, saith the LORD.
“Wabula ekiseera kijja, lwe ndiddiramu Eramu,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
