Jeremiah 48
1 Concerning Moab: “Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Woe to Nebo, for it is spoiled, Kiriathaim has been captured [and] put to shame, The high tower has been put to shame, Indeed, it has been broken down.
Ebikwata ku Mowaabu: Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, “Zikisanze Nebo, kubanga kijja kuzikirizibwa, Kiriyasayimu kiswale kiwambibwe, ekigo eky’amaanyi kijja kuswala kimenyebwe.
2 There is no longer praise of Moab, In Heshbon they devised evil against her: Come, and we cut it off from [being] a nation, Also, O Madmen, you are cut off, A sword goes after you.
Mowaabu taddeyo kutenderezebwa; mu Kesuboni abantu balitegeka okugwa kwe, nga boogera nti, ‘Mujje, tumalewo ensi eyo.’ Nammwe, mmwe Madumeni mulisirisibwa, n’ekitala kirikugoberera.
3 A voice of a cry [is] from Horonaim, Spoiling and great destruction.
Muwulirize emiranga egiva e Kolonayimu, okwonoonekerwa n’okuzikirizibwa okunene.
4 Moab has been destroyed, Her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
Mowaabu alimenyebwa; abawere ne bakaaba.
5 For the ascent of Luhith with weeping, Weeping goes up, For in the descent of Horonaim Adversaries have heard a cry of desolation.
Bakwata ekkubo erigenda e Lukisi, nga bwe bakungubaga ku luguudo olugenda e Kolonayimu, emiranga egy’okuzikirizibwa giwulirwa.
6 Flee, deliver yourselves, You are as a naked thing in a wilderness.
Mudduke! Muwonye obulamu bwammwe; mubeere ng’ebisaka mu ddungu.
7 For because of your trusting in your works, And in your treasures, even you are captured, And Chemosh has gone out in a removal, His priests and his heads together.
Kubanga mwesiga ebikolwa byammwe n’obugagga bwammwe, nammwe mulitwalibwa ng’abaddu, ne Kemosi alitwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse awamu ne bakabona be n’abakungu be.
8 And a spoiler comes to every city, And no city escapes, And the valley has perished, And the plain has been destroyed, as YHWH said.
Omuzikiriza alirumba buli kibuga, era tewali kibuga kiriwona. Ekiwonvu kiryonoonebwa n’olusenyu luzikirizibwe kubanga Mukama ayogedde.
9 Give wings to Moab, that she may go forth and flee away, And her cities are for a desolation, Without an inhabitant in them.
Muwe Mowaabu ebiwaawaatiro abuuke agende kubanga alifuuka matongo, ebibuga bye birizikirizibwa, nga tewali abibeeramu.
10 Cursed [is] he who is doing the work of YHWH slothfully, And cursed [is] he Who is withholding his sword from blood.
“Akolimirwe oyo agayaalira omulimu gwa Mukama Katonda. Akolimirwe oyo aziyiza ekitala kye okuyiwa omusaayi.
11 Moab is secure from his youth, And he [is] at rest for his preserved things, And he has not been emptied out from vessel to vessel, And he has not gone into captivity, Therefore his taste has remained in him, And his fragrance has not been changed.
“Mowaabu abadde mirembe okuva mu buvubuka bwe, nga wayini gwe batasengezze, gwe bataggye mu kibya ekimu okumuyiwa mu kirala, tagenzeko mu buwaŋŋanguse. Kale awooma ng’edda, n’akawoowo ke tekakyukanga.
12 Therefore, behold, days are coming, A declaration of YHWH, And I have sent wanderers to him, And they have caused him to wander, And they empty out his vessels, And they dash his bottles in pieces.
Naye ennaku zijja,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, “lwe ndituma basajja bange abaggya wayini mu bibya, era balimuyiwa ebweru; balittulula ensuwa ze baase n’ebibya bye.
13 And Moab has been ashamed because of Chemosh, As the house of Israel has been ashamed Because of Beth-El, their confidence.
Awo Mowaabu alikwatibwa ensonyi olwa Kemosi, ng’ennyumba ya Isirayiri bwe yaswala bwe yeesiga Beseri.
14 How do you say, We [are] mighty, And men of strength for battle?
“Oyinza otya okugamba nti, ‘Tuli balwanyi, abasajja abazira mu ntalo?’
15 Moab is spoiled, and has gone up [from] her cities, And the choice of its young men Have gone down to slaughter, An affirmation of the King, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name.
Mowaabu alizindibwa n’ebibuga bye ne bizikirizibwa; abavubuka be abato bagende battibwe,” bw’ayogera Kabaka, erinnya lye ye Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye.
16 The destruction of Moab is near to come, And his calamity has hurried exceedingly.
“Okugwa kwa Mowaabu kusembedde; akabi katuuse.
17 Bemoan for him, all you around him, And all knowing his name, say, How it has been broken, the staff of strength, The rod of beauty!
Mumubeesebeese mwenna abamwetoolodde, mwenna abamanyi ettutumu lye; mugambe nti, ‘Ng’Omuggo ogw’amaanyi ogw’obwakabaka gumenyese, ng’oluga olw’ekitiibwa lumenyese!’
18 Come down from glory, sit in thirst, O inhabitant, daughter of Dibon, For a spoiler of Moab has come up to you, He has destroyed your fortifications.
“Mukke muve mu kitiibwa kyammwe mutuule ku ttaka, mmwe abatuuze b’Omuwala w’e Diboni, kubanga oyo azikiriza Mowaabu alibajjira azikirize ebibuga byammwe ebya bbugwe.
19 Stand on the way, and watch, O inhabitant of Aroer, Ask the fugitive and escaped, Say, What has happened?
Muyimirire ku luguudo mulabe, mmwe ababeera mu Aloweri. Mubuuze omusajja adduka, n’omukazi atoloka, mubabuuze nti, ‘Kiki ekiguddewo?’
20 Moab has been put to shame, For it has been broken down, Howl and cry, declare in Arnon, For Moab is spoiled,
Mowaabu aswadde kubanga amenyesemenyese. Mukaabe muleekaane! Mulangiririre mu Alunoni nti Mowaabu kizikiridde.
21 And judgment has come to the land of the plain—to Holon, And to Jahazah, and on Mephaath,
Okusala omusango kutuuse mu nsi ey’ensenyi ku Koloni ne ku Yaza ne ku Mefaasi,
22 And on Dibon, and on Nebo, And on Beth-Diblathaim, and on Kirathaim,
ne ku Diboni, ne ku Nebo ne ku Besudibulasayimu,
23 And on Beth-Gamul, and on Beth-Meon,
ne ku Kiriyasayimu ne ku Besugamuli ne ku Besumyoni;
24 And on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, And on all cities of the land of Moab, The far off and the near.
ne ku Keriyoosi ne ku Bozula ne ku bibuga byonna eby’omu nsi ya Mowaabu ebiri ewala n’ebiri okumpi.
25 The horn of Moab has been cut down, And his arm has been broken, A declaration of YHWH.
Ejjembe lya Mowaabu lisaliddwako, n’omukono gwe gumenyese,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
26 Declare him drunk, For he made himself great against YHWH And Moab has struck in his vomit, And he has been for a derision—even he.
“Mumutamiize; kubanga ajeemedde Mukama. Ka Mowaabu yekulukuunyize mu bisesemye bye, era asekererwe.
27 And was Israel not the derision to you? Was he found among thieves? For since your words concerning him, You bemoan yourself.
Isirayiri tewagisekereranga? Baali bamukutte mu bubbi, olyoke onyeenye omutwe gwo ng’omusekerera buli lw’omwogerako?
28 Forsake cities, and dwell in a rock, You inhabitants of Moab, And be as a dove making a nest in the passages of a pit’s mouth.
Muve mu bibuga byammwe mubeere mu njazi, mmwe ababeera mu Mowaabu. Mubeere ng’ejjiba erikola ekisu kyalyo ku mumwa gw’empuku.
29 We have heard of the arrogance of Moab, Exceedingly proud! His haughtiness, and his arrogance, And his pride, and the height of his heart,
“Tuwulidde amalala ga Mowaabu amalala ge agayitiridde n’okwemanya, okwewulira kwe era n’okweyisa kwe era n’okwegulumiza kwe okw’omutima.
30 I have known, a declaration of YHWH, His wrath, and [it is] not right, His boastings—they have done nothing right.
Mmanyi obusungu bwe obutaliimu,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, “okwenyumiriza kwe okutaliiko kye kugasa.
31 Therefore I howl for Moab, even for Moab—all of it, I cry for men of Kir-Heres, it mourns,
Noolwekyo nkaabirira Mowaabu, olwa Mowaabu yenna nkaaba, nkungubagira abasajja ab’e Kirukeresi.
32 With the weeping of Jazer, I weep for you, O vine of Sibmah, Your branches have passed over a sea, They have come to the Sea of Jazer, On your summer fruits, and on your harvest, A spoiler has fallen.
Nkukaabira ggwe amaziga, nga Yazeri bw’akaaba, ggwe omuzabbibu gw’e Sibuna. Amatabi gammwe geegolola okutuuka ku nnyanja; gatuuka ku nnyanja y’e Yazeri. Omuzikiriza agudde ku bibala byo ebyengedde era n’emizabbibu.
33 And joy and gladness have been removed from the fruitful field, Even from the land of Moab, And I have caused wine to cease from winepresses, Shouting does not proceed, The shouting [is] not shouting!
Essanyu n’okujaguza biggiddwa ku nnimiro ne ku bibanja bya Mowaabu. Nziyizza okukulukuta kwa wayini mu masogolero; tewali asogola ng’aleekaana olw’essanyu. Newaakubadde nga waliyo okuleekaana, okuleekaana okwo si kwa ssanyu.
34 Because of the cry of Heshbon to Elealeh, They have given their voice to Jahaz, From Zoar to Horonaim, A heifer of the third [year], For even [the] waters of Nimrim become desolations.
“Amaloboozi g’okukaaba kwabwe galinnye okuva e Kesuboni okutuuka ku Ereyale, n’okutuuka ku Yakazi. Okuva e Zowaali okutuuka e Kolanayimu n’e Egulasuserisiya, kubanga n’amazzi g’e Nimulimu gakalidde.
35 And I have caused to cease in Moab, A declaration of YHWH, Him who is offering in a high place, And him who is making incense to his god.
Ndiggyawo abo abawaayo ebiweebwayo mu bifo ebigulumivu e Mowaabu, ne bootereza n’obubaane eri bakatonda baabwe,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
36 Therefore My heart sounds as pipes for Moab, And My heart sounds as pipes for men of Kir-Heres, Therefore the abundance he made perished.
“Noolwekyo omutima gwange gukaabira Mowaabu ng’endere; gukaaba ng’endere olw’abasajja b’e Kirukesi. Obugagga bwe baafuna buweddewo.
37 For every head [is] bald, and every beard diminished, On all hands—cuttings, and on the loins—sackcloth.
Buli mutwe mumwe na buli kirevu kisaliddwako; buli mukono gutemeddwako na buli kiwato kisibiddwamu ebibukutu.
38 On all roofs of Moab, and in her broad-places, All of it—lamentation, For I have broken Moab as a vessel in which there is no pleasure,” A declaration of YHWH.
Ku buli kasolya ka nnyumba e Mowaabu ne mu bifo awakuŋŋaanirwa, tewaliwo kintu kirala wabula okukungubaga, kubanga njasizzayasizza Mowaabu ng’ekibya ekitaliiko akyagala,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
39 “How it has been broken down! They have howled, How Moab has turned the neck ashamed! And Moab has been for a derision And for a terror to all around her.”
“Ng’amenyeddwamenyeddwa! Nga bakaaba! Mowaabu ng’akyusa omugongo gwe olw’obuswavu! Mowaabu afuuse kyakusekererwa, ekyekango eri bonna abamwetoolodde.”
40 For thus said YHWH: “Behold, he flees as an eagle, And has spread his wings to Moab.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti: “Laba! Empungu ekka, ng’eyanjuluza ebiwaawaatiro byayo ku Mowaabu.
41 The cities have been captured, And the strongholds are caught, And the heart of the mighty of Moab Has been in that day as the heart of a distressed woman.
Ebibuga birikwatibwa n’ebigo biwambibwe. Ku lunaku olwo emitima gy’abalwanyi ba Mowaabu giribeera ng’omutima gw’omukazi alumwa okuzaala.
42 And Moab has been destroyed from [being] a people, For he exerted himself against YHWH.
Mowaabu alizikirizibwa, kubanga yajeemera Mukama.
43 Fear, and a snare, and a trap, [are] for you, O inhabitant of Moab—a declaration of YHWH,
Entiisa n’obunnya n’omutego bibalindiridde, mmwe abantu ba Mowaabu,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
44 Whoever is fleeing because of the fear falls into the snare, And whoever is coming up from the snare is captured by the trap, For I bring to her—to Moab—The year of their inspection, A declaration of YHWH.
“Buli alidduka entiisa aligwa mu bunnya, n’oyo aliba avudde mu bunnya alikwatibwa omutego; kubanga ndireeta ku Mowaabu omwaka gw’okubonaabona kwe,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
45 In the shadow of Heshbon fugitives have stood powerless, For fire has gone forth from Heshbon, And a flame from within Sihon, And it consumes the corner of Moab, And the crown of the sons of Shaon.
“Mu kisiikirize kya Kesuboni, abadduka mwe bayimirira nga tebalina maanyi, kubanga omuliro guvudde mu Kesuboni, ennimi z’omuliro wakati mu Sikoni, era gw’okezza ebyenyi bya Mowaabu, n’obuwanga bw’abo abaleekaana nga beewaanawaana.
46 Woe to you, O Moab, The people of Chemosh have perished, For your sons were taken with the captives, And your daughters with the captivity.
Zikusanze ggwe, Mowaabu. Abantu b’e Kemosi bazikiridde, batabani bo batwaliddwa mu buwaŋŋanguse ne bawala bammwe mu busibe.
47 And I have turned back [to] the captivity of Moab, In the latter end of the days,” A declaration of YHWH! “Until now [is] the judgment of Moab.”
“Ndikomyawo nate obugagga bwa Mowaabu mu nnaku ezijja,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. Omusango Mowaabu gw’asaliddwa gukoma wano.
