Jeremiah 32
1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, —the same, was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar;
Kino kye kigambo kya Mukama ekyajjira Yeremiya mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi ogw’obufuzi bwa Zeddekiya kabaka wa Yuda, ogwali omwaka ogw’ekkumi n’omunaana ogw’obufuzi bwa Nebukadduneeza.
2 and, then, the forces of the king of Babylon were besieging Jerusalem, —and, Jeremiah the prophet, had been shut up in the guard-court, which was in the house of the king of Judah;
Amaggye ga kabaka w’e Babulooni gaali gazingizza Yerusaalemi, era ne Yeremiya nnabbi baali bamusibidde mu luggya lw’omukuumi mu lubiri lwa kabaka wa Yuda.
3 whom Zedekiah king of Judah, had shut up, saying, —Why art thou prophesying, saying, —Thus, saith Yahweh, Behold me! giving up this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall capture it;
Zeddekiya kabaka wa Yuda yali amusibidde eyo ng’agamba nti, “Lwaki otegeeza obunnabbi mu ngeri eyo? Ogamba nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama. Nnaatera okuwaayo ekibuga kino eri kabaka w’e Babulooni, era agenda kukiwamba.
4 and, Zedekiah king of Judah! shall not be delivered out of the hand of the Chaldeans, —for he shall be wholly given up, into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak—the mouth of the one to the mouth of the other, and the eyes of the one into the eyes of the other, shall look;
Zeddekiya kabaka wa Yuda tajja kuwona mikono gy’Abakaludaaya naye ddala wa kuweebwayo eri kabaka w’e Babulooni era ajja kwogera naye, balabagane amaaso n’amaaso.
5 and into Babylon, shall he lead Zedekiah and, there, shall he remain, until I visit him, Declareth Yahweh, —though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper?
Alitwala Zeddekiya mu Babulooni, gy’alisigala okutuusa lwe ndimujjira. Bwe munaalwanyisa Abakaludaaya, temujja kuwangula,’ bw’ayogera Mukama.”
6 And Jeremiah said, —The word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
Yeremiya n’agamba nti, “Ekigambo kya Mukama kyanzijira:
7 Lo! Hanameel son of Shallum thine uncle, hath come unto thee saying, —Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth, for, thine, is the right of redemption to buy it.
Laba Kanameri mutabani wa Sallumu kojjaawo agenda kujja gy’oli akugambe nti, ‘Gula ennimiro yange eri mu Anasosi kubanga ng’owooluganda asinga okuba okumpi guba mukisa gwo era buvunaanyizibwa bwo okugigula.’
8 So Hanameel son of mine uncle, came unto me, according to the word of Yahweh into the guard-court, and said unto me, Buy, I pray thee my field that is in Anathoth which is in the land of Benjamin, for, thine, is the right of inheritance, and, thine, the redemption, —buy it for thyself. So I knew, that the word of Yahweh, it was.
“Awo nga Mukama bwe yali agambye, omwana wa kojja wange Kanameri yajja mu luggya lw’omukuumi gye nnali n’aŋŋamba nti, ‘Gula ennimiro yange eri mu Anasosi mu kitundu kya Benyamini, kubanga okirinako obuyinza n’obuvunaanyizibwa okukinunulayo n’okyefunira, kyegulire.’ “Olwo ne mmanya nti kino kye kigambo kya Mukama.
9 And I bought the field from Hanameel son of mine uncle that was in Anathoth, —and weighed him the silver, seventeen shekels, was the silver;
Ne ndyoka ngula ennimiro ey’e Anasosi ku Kanameri omwana wa kojjange, ne mubalira ensimbi, ebitundu kkumi na musanvu ebya ffeeza.
10 and I wrote in the scroll and sealed it, and took in attestation witnesses, —and weighed the silver in the balances.
Ne nteeka omukono ku kiwandiiko ky’endagaano okugulirwa ettaka ne nkissaako n’akabonero, ne nfuna abajulirwa, ne mpima ffeeza ku minzaani.
11 Then took I the scroll of purchase, both that which was sealed—the title and the conditions—and that which was open;
Ne ntwala ekiwandiiko ekimpa obwannannyini ekirimu enkola era n’ebisuubirwa okugobererwa, era ne kkopi ey’olwatu.
12 and gave the scroll of purchase unto Baruch son of Neriah son of Mahseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle[’s son], and in the sight of the witnesses who subscribed the scroll of purchase, —in the sight of all the Jews who were sitting in the guard-court.
Ne mpa Baluki mutabani wa Neriya mutabani wa Maseya ekiwandiiko ky’obwannannyini, Kanameri omwana wa kojjange nga waali n’abajulirwa nga weebali abaateeka emikono ku kiwandiiko eky’obwannannyini n’Abayudaaya bonna abaali batudde mu luggya lw’omukuumi.
13 Then charged I Baruch in their sight saying:
“Ne nkuutirira Baluki mu maaso gaabwe nti,
14 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Take thou these scrolls, this scroll of purchase even that which is sealed, and this scroll that is open, and put them in an earthen vessel, —that they may remain many days,
‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, Twala ebiwandiiko bino byombi, ekisibeko envumbo n’ekitali kisibeko obiteeke mu nsumbi ey’ebbumba bisobole okulwawo ebbanga gwanvu.
15 For Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel: Again, shall houses and fields and vineyards, be bought, in this land.
Kubanga bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, Ennyumba, n’ebibanja n’ennimiro ez’emizabbibu biriddamu okugulibwa mu nsi eno.’
16 Then prayed I unto Yahweh, —after I had delivered the scroll of purchase unto Baruch son of Neriah, saying: —
“Nga mmaze okuwaayo ekiwandiiko kino eri Baluki mutabani wa Neriya, nasaba Mukama nti,
17 Alas! My Lord, Yahweh! Lo! thou thyself, didst make the heavens, and the earth, by thy great might, and by thine outstretched arm, —There is nothing, too wonderful for thee:
“Ayi Mukama Katonda, ggwe wakola eggulu n’ensi n’amaanyi go amangi ennyo, n’omukono gwo ogugoloddwa. Tewali kintu na kimu kikulema.
18 Executing lovingkindness unto thousands, But recompensing the iniquity of fathers, into the bosom of their children, after them, Thou GOD, the great the mighty, Yahweh of hosts, is his name:
Olaga okwagala kwo eri enkumi n’enkumi ate oleeta ekibonerezo ky’ebibi bya bakitaabwe ku baana baabwe. Ayi Katonda ow’ekitalo era ow’amaanyi, ayitibwa Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye,
19 Great in counsel, and mighty in deed, —Whose eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of men, to give unto every one, According to his ways, and According to the fruit of his doings:
ebigendererwa byo nga binene era n’ebikolwa byo nga bikulu. Amaaso go gatunuulidde amakubo gonna ag’abantu, osasula buli muntu ng’enneeyisa ye bweri era ng’ebikolwa bye bwe biri.
20 Who didst set signs and wonders, in the land of Egypt, unto this day, and in Israel and among mankind, —And didst make for thyself a name as at this day;
Wakola obubonero n’ebikolwa ebyamagero mu Misiri era weeyongedde okubikola leero, wonna mu Isirayiri ne mu bantu bonna era erinnya lyo lyeyongedde okwatiikirira.
21 And didst bring forth thy people Israel out of the land of, Egypt, With signs and with wonders, and With a strong hand, and With an outstretched arm, and With great terror;
Waggya abantu bo Isirayiri mu Misiri n’obubonero n’eby’amagero, n’omukono gwo ogw’amaanyi gwe wagolola n’entiisa ey’amaanyi.
22 And didst give unto them this land, which thou hadst sworn to their fathers to give unto them, —a land flowing with milk and honey;
Wabawa ensi eno gye wali olayidde okuwa bajjajjaabwe, ensi ekulukuta amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki.
23 And they came in and took possession of it But hearkened not unto thy voice Nor in thy law, did they walk, Nought of what thou hadst commanded them to do, did they do, —And so thou hast caused to befall them all this calamity.
Baagituukamu ne bagitwala, naye tebaakugondera wadde okugoberera amateeka go, byonna bye wabalagira tebaliiko wadde na kimu kye baakola. Kyewava obaleetako akabi kano konna.
24 Lo! the earthworks! they have entered the city, to capture it, And the city, hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans, who are fighting against it, because of the sword and the famine and the pestilence, —And so what thou didst speak, hath come to pass, And there thou art looking on!
“Laba entuumo z’omulabe z’atuumye okuzinda ekibuga okukiwamba n’ekitala, n’enjala ne kawumpuli, ekibuga kigenda kuweebwayo eri Abakaludaaya abakirumba. Ekyo kye wagamba kituukiridde nga kaakano bw’olaba.
25 Yet, thou thyself, saidst unto me, O My Lord, Yahweh, Buy thee the field for silver And take in attestation, witnesses, —Whereas, the city, hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans!
Era wadde ng’ekibuga kigenda kuweebwayo eri Abakaludaaya, ggwe Ayi Mukama Katonda oŋŋambye nti, ‘Toola ffeeza weegulire ennimiro era wabeerewo n’abajulirwa.’”
26 Then came the word of Yahweh, unto Jeremiah, saying: —
Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yeremiya nti,
27 Lo! I, am Yahweh, God of all flesh, —For me, is any thing too wonderful?
“Nze Mukama, Katonda w’abantu bonna. Eriyo ekinnema?
28 Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, —Behold me! giving this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall capture it;
Noolwekyo, bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Nnaatera okuwaayo ekibuga kino eri Abakaludaaya ne Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni, abanaakiwamba.
29 And the Chaldeans, who are fighting against this city, Shall enter, and Shall set this city on fire, and Shall consume it, —With the houses on whose roofs they burned incense to Baal and poured out drink-offerings to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger;
Abakaludaaya abanaalumba ekibuga kino bajja kukikumako omuliro, bakyokye kiggye, n’amayumba gonna abantu mwe bankwasiza obusungu nga bootereza Baali obubaane waggulu ku mayumba era n’okuwaayo ebiweebwayo eby’okunywa eri bakatonda abalala.’
30 For the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have been nothing but doers of wickedness in my sight from the days of their youth, —For the sons of Israel have been doing nothing but provoke me to anger by the workmanship of their hands, Declareth Yahweh;
“Abantu ba Isirayiri ne Yuda bye bakoze bibi byereere mu maaso gange okuva mu buvubuka bwabwe; era ddala abantu ba Isirayiri tebalina kirala kye bakoze wabula okunnyiiza n’ebyo emikono gyabwe gye gikoze, bw’ayogera Mukama.
31 For According to mine anger, and According to mine indignation, hath been to me this city, from the day when they built it even unto this day, —that I should pull it down from before my face:
Okuva ku lunaku lwe kyazimbibwa ne leero, ekibuga kino kindeetedde obusungu bungi n’ekiruyi, noolwekyo nteekwa okukiggya mu maaso gange.
32 because of all the wickedness of the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem:
Abantu ba Isirayiri ne Yuda bannyiizizza olw’ebibi byonna bye bakoze, bo ne bakabaka baabwe n’abakungu baabwe, ne bakabona baabwe ne bannabbi, abasajja ba Yuda n’abantu ba Yerusaalemi.
33 Thus have they turned unto me the back, and not the face, —Though I instructed them, betimes, instructing them, Yet have they not been hearkening, to receive correction;
Banvaako ne bankuba amabega mu kifo ky’okuntunuulira; wadde nga nabayigiriza ne nkiddiŋŋana emirundi mingi naye tebaawuliriza wadde okufaayo eri okukangavvulwa.
34 But have set their abominations in the house on which my name hath been called, to defile it;
Baateekawo ebifaananyi bya bakatonda baabwe abakole n’emikono, eby’omuzizo mu nnyumba eyitibwa Erinnya lyange ne bagyonoona.
35 And have built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of Ben-hinnom, To cause their sons and their daughters to pass through unto Molech, Which I commanded them not Neither came it up on my heart, That they should do this horrible thing, —Causing, Judah, to sin!
Baazimba ebifo ebigulumivu ebya Baali mu kiwonvu kya mutabani wa Kinomu, basaddaake batabani baabwe ne bawala baabwe mu muliro eri Moleki, newaakubadde nga sibalagiranga, wadde okukirowooza mu magezi gange, nti balikola ekintu ekibi ennyo bwe kityo kiviireko Yuda okwonoona.
36 Now therefore, because of this, —Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, —Concerning this city, whereof ye are saying, It hath been delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, by sword, and by famine and by pestilence:
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ‘Ekibuga kino okyogerako nti, Kijja kuweebwayo eri kabaka w’e Babulooni lwa kitala, n’enjala, ne kawumpuli.’
37 Behold me! gathering them out of all the lands whither I have driven them—In mine anger and In mine indignation and In great vexation, —And I will cause them to return into this place, And will make them dwell, securely;
Naye laba, ndibakuŋŋaanya mu mawanga gye mbagobedde n’obusungu bwange n’ekiruyi eky’amaanyi; ndibakomyawo mu kifo kino, mubeere n’emirembe.
38 And they shall become my people, —And, I, will become their God;
Era balibeera bantu bange, nange mbeere Katonda waabwe.
39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, That they may revere me, all the days, —For the good of them and of their children after them;
Ndibawa omutima gumu n’ekkubo limu, bantyenga emirembe gyonna, olw’obulungi bwabwe, n’obulungi bw’abaana abaliddawo.
40 And I will solemnise to them an age-abiding covenant, That I will not turn away from following them, to do them good, —But the reverence of myself, will I put in their heart, so that they shall not turn away from me.
Ndikola nabo endagaano eteriggwaawo: siribaleka era sirirekeraawo kubakolera birungi, era ndibassaamu omwoyo oguntya, baleme kuddayo kunvaako.
41 And I will rejoice over them, to do them good, —And will plant them in this land in truth, with all my heart and with all my soul.
Ndisanyuka olw’okubakolera ebirungi era awatali kubuusabuusa ndibasimba mu nsi eno n’omutima gwange gwonna n’emmeeme yange yonna.
42 For, Thus, saith Yahweh, Like as I have brought upon this people all this great calamity, So, am I bringing upon them all the good that I am speaking concerning them.
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, Nga bwe naleeta akabi kano konna ku bantu bano, era nze ndibawa okukulaakulana kwonna kwe mbasuubizza.
43 Therefore shall fields be bought in this land, —whereof ye are saying, It is, a desolation, Without man or beast, It hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans:
Era nate ennimiro zirigulwa mu ggwanga lino lye mugamba nti, ‘Lifuuse matongo agatagambika, omutali bantu wadde ensolo kubanga kiweereddwayo eri Abakaludaaya.’
44 Fields—for silver, shall men buy, And write in scrolls And seal them, And take in attestation, witnesses, In the land of Benjamin, and In the places round about Jerusalem, and In the cities of Judah, and In the cities of the hill country, and In the cities of the lowland and In the cities of the South, —For I will cause them of their captivity to return Declareth Yahweh.
Ennimiro zirigulibwa ffeeza, era n’ebiwandiiko eby’obwannannyini biteekebweko omukono, bisabikibwe era bifune n’ababijulira mu Benyamini, ne mu byalo ebyetoolodde Yerusaalemi, ne mu bibuga bya Yuda ne mu bibuga ebyetoolodde Yerusaalemi, ne mu byalo bya Yuda ne mu bibuga eby’omu nsi ey’ensozi, ne mu bibuga eby’omu nsenyi ne mu bibuga eby’omu bukiikaddyo, kubanga ndikomyawo okukulaakulana kwabwe, bw’ayogera Mukama.”
