Jeremiah 33
1 And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah a second time—and he [is] yet detained in the court of the prison—saying:
Kisha neno la Yahwe likaja kwa Yeremia mara ya pili, alipokuwa bado amefungwa ndani ya uwanja wa walinzi, likisema,
2 “Thus said YHWH who has made it, YHWH who has formed it, to establish it, YHWH [is] His Name:
Yahwe muumbaji, anasema hivi—Yahwe, aumbaye ili athibitishishe—Yahwe ndilo jina lake,
3 Call to Me, and I answer you, indeed, I declare to you great and inaccessible things—you have not known them.
'Niite, na nitakuitika, nitakuelezea mambo makuu, siri ambazo huzielewi.'
4 For thus said YHWH, God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah that are broken down for the [siege] mounds, and for the tool;
Kwa maana Yahwe, Mungu wa Israel, anasema hivi kuhusu nyumba zilizo katika mji huu na nyumba za wafalme wa Yuda zilizobomolewa kwa sababu ya maboma na upanga,
5 they are coming to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the carcasses of men, whom I have struck in My anger, and in My fury, and [for] whom I have hidden My face from this city, because of all their evil:
Wakaldayao wanakuja kupigana na kuzijaza nyumba kwa hizi kwa majeshi ya watu ambao wataua katika hasira yangu na ghadhabu yangu, nitakapouficha mji huu uso wangu kwa sababu ya uovu wao wote.
6 Behold, I am increasing health and cure to it, And have healed them, and revealed to them The abundance of peace and truth.
Lakini ona, niko karibu kuleta uponyaji na tiba, kwa maana nitawaponya na nitawapa wingi wa, amani na uamainifu.
7 And I have turned back the captivity of Judah, And the captivity of Israel, And I have built them as at the first,
Kwa maana nitawarudhisha wafungwa wao wa Yuda na Israeli; nitawajenga tena kama ilivyokuw mwanzo.
8 And cleansed them from all their iniquity That they have sinned against Me, And I have pardoned all their iniquities That they have sinned against Me, And that they transgressed against Me.
Kisha nitawatakasa uovu wote walioufanya dhidi yangu. Nitasamehe makosa yote waliyonitenda, na na njia zote walizo asi dhidi yangu.
9 And it has been for a name of joy to Me, For praise, and for beauty, to all nations of the earth, Who hear of all the good that I am doing them, And they have feared, And they have trembled for all the good, And for all the peace, that I am doing to it.”
Kwa maana mji huu kwa ajili yangu utakuwa chombo cha furaha, nyimbo, sifa na heshima kwa mataiafa yote ya dunia ambao watasikia mambo yote mema ninayokwenda kufanya kwa ajili ya huu mji. Kisha wataogopa na kutetemeka kwa sababu ya mambo yote mema na amani nitayoupa mji huu.'
10 Thus said YHWH: “Again is heard in this place—of which you are saying, It [is] dry, without man and without beast, In cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, That are desolated, without man, And without inhabitant, and without beast—
Yahwe anasema hivi, 'Katika sehemu hii ambayo sasa mnaisema, “Imetengwa, sehemu isiyo na mwanadamu wala mnyama,” katika mji huu wa Yuda, na katika mitaa ya Yerusalemu ambayo imetengwa bila mwanadamu wala mnyama, zitasikika tena
11 A voice of joy and a voice of gladness, Voice of bridegroom and voice of bride, The voice of those saying, Thank YHWH of Hosts, for YHWH [is] good, For His kindness [is] for all time, Who are bringing in thanksgiving to the house of YHWH, For I return the captivity of the land, As at the first,” said YHWH.
sauti za furaha na sauti za shangwe, sauti ya bwana arusi na sauti ya bibi arusi, sauti za wale wasemao, wanapoleta shukrani katika nyumba ya Yahwe, “Mshukuruni Yahwe wa majeshi, kwa maana Yahwe ni mwema, na upendo wake usioshindwa wadumu milele!” Kwa maana nitawafanaya tena wafungwa wa nchi kuwa walivyokuwa mwanzo,' asema Yahwe.
12 Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Again there is in this place—that is dry, Without man and beast, And in all its cities—a habitation of shepherds, Causing the flock to lie down.
Yahwe wa majeshi asema hivi: Katika sehemu hii ya ukiwa, ambamo sasa hakuna mwanadamu wala mnyama—katika miji yake yote kutakuwepo tena malisho ambapo wachungaji wataweza kupumzisha makundi yao.
13 In the cities of the hill-country, In the cities of the low country, And in the cities of the south, And in the land of Benjamin, And in the outskirts of Jerusalem, And in the cities of Judah, Again the flock passes by under the hands of the numberer,” said YHWH.
Katika miji hii katika nchi ya vilima, nchi tambarare, na Negevu katika nchi ya Benyamini na kuzunguka Yerusalemu yote, na katika miji ya Yuda, makundi yatapata njia chini ya mkono wa yule anayewahesabu,' asema Yahwe.
14 “Behold, days are coming,” a declaration of YHWH, “And I have established the good word That I spoke to the house of Israel, And concerning the house of Judah.
Angalia! Siku zinakuja—hili ni tangazo la Yahwe—ambapo nitafanya niliyoahidi kwa nyumba ya Israeli na nyumba ya Yuda.
15 In those days, and at that time, I cause a Shoot of righteousness to shoot up to David, And He has done judgment and righteousness in the earth.
Katika siku hizo na katika wakati huo nitachipua shina la haki kwa ajili ya Daudi, na litafanaya hukumu na haki katika nchi.
16 In those days Judah is saved, And Jerusalem dwells confidently, And this [is] what she is called: YHWH [is] Our Righteousness.”
Katika siku hizo Yuda wataokolewa, na Yurusalemu utaishi katika usalama, kwa maana hivi ndivyo atakavyoitwa, “Yahwe ni haki ni haki yetu.”
17 For thus said YHWH: “A man sitting on the throne of the house of Israel [is] never cut off from David,
Kwa maana Yahwe anasema hivi: 'Mwana kutoka ukoo wa Daudi hatakosa kuketi katika kiti cha nyumba ya Israeli,
18 And to the priests—the Levites, A man is not cut off from before My face, Causing a burnt-offering to ascend, And perfuming a present, and making sacrifice—all the days.”
wala mtu kutoka ukuhani wa Kilawi hatakosa kutoa sadaka za kuteketezwa mbele zangu, kutoa sadaka za chakula, na kutoa sadaka za nafaka wakati wote.”'
19 And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah, saying,
Neno la Yahwe likaja kwa Yeremia, likisema,
20 “Thus said YHWH: If you can break My covenant with the day, And My covenant with the night, So that they are not daily and nightly in their season,
“Yahwe anasema hivi: 'Kama mkiweza kulivunja agano langu la mchana na usiku ili kwamba siku isikawie wala usiku usikawie kuja kwa wakati wake,
21 My covenant is also broken with My servant David, So that he does not have a son reigning on his throne, And with the Levites the priests, My ministers.
basi mtaweza u kulivunja agano langu na Daudi mtumishi wangu, ili kwamba aspate mwana wa kuketi juu ya kiti chake cha enzi, na gano langu na makuhuni wa Kilawi, watumishsi wangu.
22 As the host of the heavens is not numbered, Nor the sand of the sea measured, So I multiply the seed of My servant David, And My ministers the Levites.”
Kama vile majeshsi ya mbinguni yasivyoweza kuhesabika, na kama vile mchanga wa ufukwe wa bahari usivyoweza kupimwa, ndivyo nitakavyouongeza uzao wa Daudi mtumishi wangu na Walawi watumikao mbele zangu.”
23 And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah, saying,
Neno la Mungu likaja kwa Yeremia, likisema,
24 “Have you not considered what this people have spoken, saying, The two families on which YHWH fixed, He rejects them? And they despise My people, so that they are no longer a people before them!”
Hamkuzingatia walichotangaza watu hawa waliposema, 'Zile Familia mbili ambazo Yahwe alizichagua, sasa amezikataa'? Kwa jinsi hii hii waliwapuuza watu wangu, wakisema kwamba si taifa tena katika macho yao.
25 Thus said YHWH: “If My covenant [is] not with day and night, [And if] I have not appointed the statutes of the heavens and earth—
Mimi, Yahwe, nasema hivi, 'Kama sijalithibitisha agano la mchana na usiku, na kama sijaziweka sheria za mbingu na dunia,
26 I also reject the seed of Jacob, and My servant David, From taking rulers from his seed For the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, For I return their captivity, and have pitied them.”
basi nitawakataa uzao wa Yakobo na Daudi mtumishi wangu, na nisilete mtu kutoka kati yao wa kutawala juu ya uzao wa Abrahamu, Isaka, na Yakobo. Kwa maana nitawarudisha wafubgwa wao na kuonesha huruma kwao.”'
