Jeremiah 15
1 Then YHWH said to me, "Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind would 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 It shall happen, when they tell you, 'Where shall we go forth?' Then you shall tell them, 'Thus says YHWH: "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 captivity, to 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 I will appoint over them four kinds, says YHWH: the sword to kill, and the dogs to tear, and the birds of the sky, and the animals of the earth, to devour and to 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 I will cause them to be tossed back and forth among all the 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 will have pity on you, Jerusalem? Or who will bemoan you? Or who will turn aside to ask of your welfare?
“Ani alikukwatirwa ekisa ggwe Yerusaalemi? Oba ani alikukungubagira? Oba ani alikyama okubuuza ebikufaako?
6 'You have rejected me,' says YHWH, 'you have gone backward:' therefore have I stretched out my hand against you, and destroyed you; I am weary with repenting.
Mwanneegaana,” bw’ayogera Mukama. “Temutya kudda nnyuma. Noolwekyo mbagololeddeko omukono gwange ne mbazikiriza. Sikyasobola kukukwatirwa kisa.
7 I have winnowed them with a fan in the gates of the land; I have bereaved them of children, I have destroyed my people; they did not return 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 destroyer at noonday; I have made anguish and terror to fall on them suddenly.
Bannamwandu beeyongedde obungi okusinga n’omusenyu gw’ennyanja. Mu ttuntu mbaleetedde omuzikiriza amalewo ababazaalira abalenzi abato. Mbakubiddewo obubalagaze n’entiisa.
9 She who has borne seven languishes; she has given up the spirit; her sun is gone down while it was yet day; she has been disappointed and confounded: and their residue will I deliver to the sword before their enemies," says YHWH.
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 not lent, neither have men lent to me; yet everyone of them curses me."
Zinsanze, mmange lwaki wanzaala omuntu eggwanga lyonna gwe lirwanyisa ne likuluusanya? Siwolanga wadde okweyazika, kyokka buli muntu ankolimira.
11 YHWH said, "Most certainly I will strengthen you for good; most certainly I will cause the enemy to make petition to you in the time of evil and in the time of distress.
Mukama agamba nti, “Ddala ndikununula olw’ekigendererwa ekirungi, ddala ndireetera abalabe bo okukwegayirira, mu biseera eby’okuluma obujiji, mu biseera eby’akabi.
12 Can one break iron, even iron from the north, and bronze?
“Omusajja ayinza okumenya ekikomo oba ekyuma eky’omu bukiikakkono?
13 Your substance and your treasures will I give for a 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 I will make you serve your enemies in a land which you do not know; 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 "YHWH, you know; remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors; do not take me away in your longsuffering: know that for your sake I have suffered reproach.
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 ate them; and your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by your name, YHWH, the 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 did not sit in the assembly of those who make merry, 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 indeed be to me as a deceitful brook, 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 YHWH, "If you return, then will I bring you again, that you may stand before me; and if you take forth the precious from the vile, you shall be as my mouth: they shall return to you, but you shall not return 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 I will make you to this people a fortified bronze 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 YHWH.
Ndikufuula ekisenge eri abantu bano, ekisenge ekinywezebbwa eky’ekikomo. Balikulwanyisa naye tebalikuwangula, kubanga ndi naawe, okukununula, n’okukulokola,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
21 "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.
