Jeremiah 11
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
Kino kye kigambo kya Mukama ekyajjira Yeremiya.
2 “Hear the words of this covenant, and you have spoken to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,
Wuliriza ebigambo by’endagaano eno era yogera n’abantu ba Yuda era n’abo ababeera mu Yerusaalemi.
3 and you have said to them, Thus said YHWH God of Israel: Cursed [is] the man who does not obey the words of this covenant,
Bagambe nti, “Bw’ati Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri bw’ayogera nti, ‘Akolimiddwa omuntu atagondera bigambo by’endagaano eno
4 That I commanded your fathers, In the day of My bringing them out from the land of Egypt, Out of the iron furnace, saying, Listen to My voice, and you have done them, According to all that I command you, And you have been to Me for a people, And I am to you for God,
bye nalagira bakitammwe bwe nabaggya mu nsi y’e Misiri, okuva mu kikoomi ky’omuliro.’ Nabagamba nti, ‘Muŋŋondere era mukole ebintu byonna nga bwe mbalagira, munaabeeranga bantu bange, nange nnaabeeranga Katonda wammwe,
5 In order to establish the oath that I have sworn to your fathers, To give to them a land flowing with milk and honey, as this day.” And I answer and say, “Amen, O YHWH.”
ndyoke ntuukirize ekirayiro kye nalayirira bajjajjammwe, okubawa ensi ekulukuta amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki, ensi gye mulimu leero.’” Awo ne nziramu nti, “Kibeere bwe kityo Mukama.”
6 And YHWH says to me, “Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear the words of this covenant, And you have done them.
Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti, “Langirira ebigambo bino byonna mu bibuga bya Yuda ne mu nguudo za Yerusaalemi. ‘Muwulire ebigambo by’endagaano era mubikole.
7 For I certainly testified against your fathers, In the day of My bringing them up out of the land of Egypt—until this day, Rising early and testifying, saying, Listen to My voice,
Okuva lwe naggya bajjajjammwe mu Misiri okutuusa leero, mbakuutidde emirundi mingi nga mbagamba nti, “Muŋŋondere.”
8 And they have not listened nor inclined their ear, And they each walk in the stubbornness of their evil heart, And I bring on them all the words of this covenant, That I commanded to do, and they did not.”
Naye tebampuliriza wadde okussaayo omwoyo, wabula buli muntu yeeyongera okutambulira mu bukakanyavu bw’omutima gwe omubi. Ne ndyoka mbaleetako ebikolimo byonna ebiri mu ndagaano gye nabalagira okukwata ne batagikwata.’”
9 And YHWH says to me: “A conspiracy is found in the men of Judah, And in the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Ate Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti, “Waliwo olukwe mu basajja ba Yuda ne mu batuuze b’omu Yerusaalemi.
10 They have turned back to the iniquities of their first fathers, Who refused to hear My words, And they have gone after other gods to serve them, The house of Israel and the house of Judah Have made void My covenant that I made with their fathers.”
Bazzeeyo mu butali butuukirivu bwa bajjajjaabwe abaagaana okugoberera ebigambo byange. Bagoberedde bakatonda abalala ne babaweereza. Ennyumba zombi eya Isirayiri n’eya Yuda zimenye endagaano gye nakola ne bajjajjaabwe.
11 Therefore, thus said YHWH: “Behold, I am bringing calamity on them, That they are not able to go out from, And they have cried to Me, And I do not listen to them.
Noolwekyo, bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Laba, ndibaleetako akabi ke batayinza kuwona; wadde banaankaabirira, sijja kubawuliriza.
12 And the cities of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem have gone, And they have cried to the gods, To whom they are making incense, And they give no deliverance at all to them, In the time of their distress.
Ebibuga bya Yuda n’abantu ba Yerusaalemi bajja kugenda bakaabirire bakatonda baabwe be bootereza obubaane, naye tebaabayambe n’akamu nga bali mu nnaku.
13 For the number of your cities have been your gods, O Judah, And [for] the number of the streets of Jerusalem You have placed altars to a shameful thing, Altars to make incense to Ba‘al.
Mulina bakatonda abenkana ebibuga byammwe obungi, ggwe Yuda; n’ebyoto bye mukoze okwoterezaako obubaane eri Baali byenkana enguudo za Yerusaalemi obungi.’
14 And you, you do not pray for this people, Nor do you lift up cry and prayer for them, For I do not listen in the time of their calling to Me for their distress.
“Noolwekyo tosabira bantu bano, tobakaabiririra wadde okubegayiririra kubanga siribawulira mu biro lwe baligwako akabi.
15 What has My beloved to do in My house, Her doing wickedness with many, And does the holy flesh pass over from you? When you do evil, then you exult.
“Omwagalwa akola ki mu yeekaalu yange ng’ate akoze eby’ekivve? Okuwaayo ssaddaaka kuyinza okukuggyako ekibonerezo ekijja? Okola ebibi n’olyoka ojaguza!”
16 An olive, green, beautiful, of good fruit, Has YHWH called your name, At the noise of a great tumult He has kindled fire against it, And its thin branches have been broken.
Mukama yakutuuma Omuzeyituuni ogubala ennyo, oguliko ebibala ebirungi. Naye ajja kugukumako omuliro n’okuwuuma okw’omuyaga ogw’amaanyi, amatabi gaagwo gakutuke.
17 And YHWH of Hosts, who is planting you, Has spoken calamity concerning you, For the evil of the house of Israel, and of the house of Judah, That they have done to themselves, To provoke Me to anger, to make incense to Ba‘al.”
Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, eyakusimba akulangiriddeko akabi kubanga ennyumba ya Isirayiri n’ennyumba ya Yuda zikoze eby’ekivve ne zinkwasa obusungu bwe zooterezza Baali obubaane.
18 And, O YHWH, cause me to know, and I know, Then You have showed me their doings.
Mukama yambikkulira nnamanyisa mu bbanga eryo olukwe lwe baali bansalira.
19 And I [am] as a trained lamb brought to slaughter, And I have not known That they have devised schemes against me: “We destroy the tree with its food, And cut him off from the land of the living, And his name is not remembered again.”
Nnali ng’omwana gw’endiga gwe batwala okuttibwa. Nnali simanyi nga nze gwe baali balyamu olukwe, nga bagamba nti, “Ka tuzikirize omuti n’ekibala kyagwo, ka tumutemere ddala ave ku nsi y’abalamu, erinnya lye lireme okuddayo okujjukirwa n’akatono.”
20 And O YHWH of Hosts, judging righteousness, Trying reins and heart, I see Your vengeance against them, For I have revealed my cause to You.
Naye ggwe Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, alamula mu bwenkanya, agezesa omutima n’ebirowoozo, ka ndabe bw’obawoolera eggwanga, kubanga ggwe gwenkwasizza ensonga yange.
21 Therefore, thus said YHWH concerning the men of Anathoth, who are seeking your life, saying, “Do not prophesy in the Name of YHWH, and you do not die by our hands.”
Noolwekyo bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ku basajja b’e Anasosi abanoonya obulamu bwo nga bagamba nti, “Totubuulira bunnabbi mu linnya lya Mukama, tuleme okukutta.”
22 Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Behold, I am seeing after them, The chosen ones die by sword, Their sons and their daughters die by famine,
Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye nti, “Laba, nzija kutta abavubuka n’ekitala; ne batabani baabwe n’abawala bafe enjala.
23 And they have no remnant, For I bring calamity to the men of Anathoth, The year of their inspection!”
So tewaliba n’omu alisigalawo, kubanga ndireeta akabi ku basajja b’e Anasosi, mu mwaka gwe ndibabonererezaamu.”
