Jeremiah 15
1 Then said the LORD to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind could not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.
Awo Mukama n’alyoka aŋŋamba nti, “Musa ne Samwiri ne bwe bandiyimiridde okunneegayirira, sandisonyiye bantu bano. Bagobe okuva mu maaso gange, banviire.
2 And it shall come to pass, if they say to you, Where shall we go forth? then you shall tell them, Thus says the LORD; Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for the captivity, to the captivity.
Era bwe bakubuuza nti, ‘Tunaagenda wa?’ “Bagambe nti, ‘Kino Mukama kyagamba nti, Ab’okuttibwa bagenda kuttibwa, n’ab’ekitala bafe ekitala, n’ab’enjala bafe enjala, n’ab’okuwambibwa bawambibwe.’
3 And I will appoint over them four kinds, says the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.
“Ndiweereza engeri nnya ez’okubazikiriza,” bw’ayogera Mukama. “Ekitala kya kufumita, embwa zikulule, ebinyonyi eby’omu bbanga n’ensolo ez’omu nsiko zirye n’okuzikiriza.
4 And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
Era ndibawaayo babeetamwe eruuyi n’eruuyi mu bwakabaka bwonna obw’omu nsi olw’ekyo Manase mutabani wa Keezeekiya kabaka wa Yuda kye yakola mu Yerusaalemi.
5 For who shall have pity on you, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan you? or who shall go aside to ask how you do?
“Ani alikukwatirwa ekisa ggwe Yerusaalemi? Oba ani alikukungubagira? Oba ani alikyama okubuuza ebikufaako?
6 You have forsaken me, says the LORD, you are gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against you, and destroy you; I am weary with repenting.
Mwanneegaana,” bw’ayogera Mukama. “Temutya kudda nnyuma. Noolwekyo mbagololeddeko omukono gwange ne mbazikiriza. Sikyasobola kukukwatirwa kisa.
7 And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave them of children, I will destroy my people since they return not from their ways.
Era ndibakuŋŋunta n’ekitiiyo eky’amannyo mu miryango gy’ebibuga eby’omu nsi. Ndizikiriza abantu bange ne mbamalawo kubanga tebaaleka makubo gaabwe.
8 Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought on them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noonday: I have caused him to fall on it suddenly, and terrors on the city.
Bannamwandu beeyongedde obungi okusinga n’omusenyu gw’ennyanja. Mu ttuntu mbaleetedde omuzikiriza amalewo ababazaalira abalenzi abato. Mbakubiddewo obubalagaze n’entiisa.
9 She that has borne seven languishes: she has given up the ghost; her sun is gone down while it was yet day: she has been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, says the LORD.
Eyazaala omusanvu ayongobedde, awejjawejja. Enjuba ye egudde nga bukyali misana, amaanyi gamuwedde, ensonyi zimukutte, awuunze, awuubadde. N’abo abawonyeewo ndi wa kubasogga ekitala, mu maaso ga balabe baabwe,” bwayogera Mukama.
10 Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor men have lent to me on usury; yet every one of them does curse me.
Zinsanze, mmange lwaki wanzaala omuntu eggwanga lyonna gwe lirwanyisa ne likuluusanya? Siwolanga wadde okweyazika, kyokka buli muntu ankolimira.
11 The LORD said, Truly it shall be well with your remnant; truly I will cause the enemy to entreat you well in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
Mukama agamba nti, “Ddala ndikununula olw’ekigendererwa ekirungi, ddala ndireetera abalabe bo okukwegayirira, mu biseera eby’okuluma obujiji, mu biseera eby’akabi.
12 Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?
“Omusajja ayinza okumenya ekikomo oba ekyuma eky’omu bukiikakkono?
13 Your substance and your treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and that for all your sins, even in all your borders.
“Ndiwaayo eby’obugagga byo n’ebintu byo eby’omuwendo ennyo binyagibwe awatali kusasulwa, olw’ebibi byo byonna ebikoleddwa mu ggwanga lyonna.
14 And I will make you to pass with your enemies into a land which you know not: for a fire is kindled in my anger, which shall burn on you.
Ndibafuula abasibe b’abalabe bammwe mu ggwanga lye mutamanyi, kubanga obusungu bwange bwakukoleeza omuliro ogunaabookya gubamalewo.”
15 O LORD, you know: remember me, and visit me, and revenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in your long-suffering: know that for your sake I have suffered rebuke.
Ayi Mukama ggwe omanyi byonna. Nzijukira ondabirire. Ompalanire eggwanga ku abo abanjigganya. Mu kugumiikiriza kwo okunene tontwala. Lowooza ku ngeri gye mbonyeebonye ku lulwo.
16 Your words were found, and I did eat them; and your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by your name, O LORD God of hosts.
Ebigambo byo bwe byanzijira, ne mbirya, byali ssanyu era okujaguza kw’omutima gwange. Kubanga mpitibwa linnya lyo, Ayi Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye.
17 I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of your hand: for you have filled me with indignation.
Situulangako mu kuŋŋaaniro ly’abo ab’ebinyumu era sibeerangako mu biduula nabo. Natuulanga nzekka kubanga naliko omukono gwo, era wandeetera okwekyawa.
18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? will you be altogether to me as a liar, and as waters that fail?
Lwaki okulumwa kwange tekukoma era n’ekiwundu kyange ne kitawona? Onomberera ng’akagga akalimbalimba ng’ensulo ekalira?
19 Therefore thus says the LORD, If you return, then will I bring you again, and you shall stand before me: and if you take forth the precious from the vile, you shall be as my mouth: let them return to you; but return not you to them.
Noolwekyo kino Mukama ky’agamba nti, “Bwe muneenenya, ndibakomyawo musobole okumpeereza; bwe mulyogera ebigambo ebisaana so si ebitasaanidde, mulibeera boogezi bange. Leka abantu bano be baba bajja gy’oli, so si ggwe okugenda gye bali.
20 And I will make you to this people a fenced brazen wall: and they shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you: for I am with you to save you and to deliver you, says the LORD.
Ndikufuula ekisenge eri abantu bano, ekisenge ekinywezebbwa eky’ekikomo. Balikulwanyisa naye tebalikuwangula, kubanga ndi naawe, okukununula, n’okukulokola,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
21 And I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible.
“Ndikununula okuva mu mukono gw’abakozi b’ebibi era n’enkuggya mu mukono gw’abasajja abakambwe,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
