< Jeremiah 18 >

1 The word which it came to Jeremiah from with Yahweh saying.
Kino ky’ekigambo ekyajjira Yeremiya ekyava eri Mukama nti,
2 Arise and you will go down [the] house of the potter and there I will cause to hear you words my.
“Serengeta mu nnyumba y’omubumbi nkuweere eyo obubaka bwange.”
3 And I went down [the] house of the potter (and there! he *Q(K)*) [was] doing work on the stones.
Awo ne nserengeta eri ennyumba y’omubumbi ne mmulaba ng’akolera emirimu gye ku nnamuziga.
4 And it was spoiled the vessel which he [was] making with the clay in [the] hand of the potter and he would return and he made it a vessel another just as it was pleasing in [the] eyes of the potter to do.
Naye ekintu kye yali abumba kyali kyonoonekedde mu ngalo ze, omubumbi kyeyava akibumbamu ekintu ekirala ng’akibumba nga bwe yasiima.
5 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira nga kigamba nti,
6 ¿ Like the potter this not am I able to do to you O house of Israel [the] utterance of Yahweh here! like the clay in [the] hand of the potter so you [are] in hand my O house of Israel.
“Gwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri, siyinza nze kubakola ng’omubumbi ono bw’akoze?” bw’ayogera Mukama. “Okufaanana ng’ebbumba mu mukono gw’omubumbi, bwe mutyo bwe muli mu ngalo zange, ggwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri.
7 A moment I will speak on a nation and on a kingdom to pluck up and to pull down and to destroy.
Ekiseera kyonna bwe nnangirira nti eggwanga oba obwakabaka bwa kusiguukululwa, okumenyebwa era n’okuzikirizibwa,
8 And it will turn away the nation that from evil its which I had spoken on it and I will relent on the calamity which I had planned to do to it.
era singa eggwanga lye nalabula lyenenya ebibi byalyo, olwo ndyejjusa ne sibatuusaako kabi ke nnali ŋŋambye okubakola.
9 And a moment I will speak on a nation and on a kingdom to build up and to plant.
Era ekiseera kyonna nnangirira ebikwata ku ggwanga oba obwakabaka nti ndizimba era ndisimba,
10 And it will do (the evil *Q(K)*) in view my to not to listen to voice my and I will relent on the good which I had said to do good to it.
era bwe likola ebibi mu maaso gange, ne litaŋŋondera, ndyejjusa obulungi bwe nagamba okubakolera.
11 And therefore say please to everyone of Judah and to [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem saying thus he says Yahweh here! I [am] about to fashion on you calamity and [am] about to plan on you a plan turn back please everyone from way his wicked and make good ways your and deeds your.
“Noolwekyo gamba abantu ba Yuda n’abo ababeera mu Yerusaalemi nti, ‘Kino Mukama ky’ayogera nti, Laba ntekateeka okubatuusaako ekikangabwa era nteesezza okubakola akabi. Kale muve mu makubo gammwe amabi, buli omu ku mmwe, mukyuse enneeyisa yammwe n’ebikolwa byammwe.’
12 And they say despairing for after own plans our we will walk and everyone [the] stubbornness of heart his wicked we will act.
Naye ne boogera nti, ‘Tekirina kye kigasa. Tujja kugenda mu maaso n’entegeka yaffe; buli omu ku ffe anaakolanga ng’obukakanyavu bw’omutima gwe bwe buli.’”
13 Therefore thus he says Yahweh ask please among the nations who? has he heard like these [things] a horrible [thing] she has done exceedingly [the] virgin of Israel.
Noolwekyo bw’ati Mukama ng’agamba nti, “Mwebuuzeeko mu mawanga. Ani eyali awuliddeko ekintu bwe kiti? Muwala wange Isirayiri akoze ekintu eky’ekivve.
14 ¿ Does it leave from [the] rock of [the] field [the] snow of Lebanon or? are they plucked up waters strange cool flowing.
Omuzira oguli ku Lebanooni gwali guwedde ku njazi zaakwo? Amazzi gaakwo amannyogovu agava ewala gaali galeseeyoko okukulukuta?
15 For they have forgotten me people my to falsehood they make smoke and they have caused to stumble them in ways their paths of antiquity to walk paths a way not built up.
Naye ate abantu bange banneerabidde, banyookezza obubaane eri bakatonda abalala, abaleetera okwesittala mu makubo gaabwe era ne mu makubo ag’edda era ne balaga mu bukubokubo.
16 To make land their into a waste (whistling of *Q(K)*) perpetuity every [one who] passes by at it he will be appalled and he may wag with head his.
Ensi yaabwe ya kusigala matongo, ekintu eky’okusekererwa emirembe gyonna, abo bonna abayise balyewuunya era ne banyeenya emitwe gyabwe.
17 Like a wind of [the] east I will scatter them before an enemy back and not face I will show them on [the] day of disaster their.
Ndibasaasaanya mu maaso g’abalabe baabwe ng’empewo eva ebuvanjuba; ndibalaga mabega so si maaso gange ku lunaku olw’okulabirako ennaku.”
18 And people said come so let us plan on Jeremiah plans for not it will be lost instruction from [the] priest and counsel from [the] wise and word from [the] prophet come and let us attack him with the tongue and may not we pay attention to all words his.
Awo ne balyoka bagamba nti, “Mujje tubeeko kye tukola Yeremiya. Kubanga bakabona weebali banaatutegeezanga amateeka, n’amagezi tunaagafunanga ku bagezi, era n’ebyobunnabbi binaavanga mu bannabbi. Kaakano mujje tumulumbe tumuwakanye era tuleme okussaayo omwoyo ku bigambo bye.”
19 Be attentive! O Yahweh to me and listen to [the] voice of opponents my.
Ompulirize, Ayi Mukama, owulirize abampakanya kye bagamba.
20 ¿ Will it be repaid in place of good evil for they have dug a pit for self my remember - standing my before you to speak on them good to turn back rage your from them.
Ebikolwa ebirungi binaasasulwanga na bikolwa ebibi? Bansimidde obunnya. Ojjukire nga nayimirira mu maaso go ne nkaaba ku lwabwe, nga nsaba olekeraawo okubasunguwalira.
21 Therefore give children their to famine and pour them over [the] hands of [the] sword so they may become wives their childless and widows and men their may they be [the] slain of death young men their [those] struck down of [the] sword in battle.
Noolwekyo abaana baabwe baleke bafe enjala, obaweeyo battibwe n’ekitala. Leka bakazi baabwe bafuuke bagumba era babe bannamwandu; abasajja baabwe battibwe; abavubuka baabwe batirimbulwe n’ekitala mu lutalo.
22 May it be heard a cry of distress from houses their if you will bring on them a marauding band suddenly for they have dug (a pit *Q(K)*) to capture me and snares they have hidden for feet my.
Leka okukaaba kuwulirwe nga kuva mu nnyumba zaabwe, bwe banaalumbibwa ne bazindibwa embagirawo, kubanga bansimidde ekinnya bankwate era bateze ebigere byange emitego.
23 And you O Yahweh you know all plan their on me for death may not you atone on iniquity their and sin their from to before you may not you wipe out (and let them be *Q(K)*) overthrown before you in [the] time of anger your do with them.
Naye Ayi Mukama, gw’omanyi byonna, bye bateesa banzite. Tobasonyiwa byonoono byabwe wadde okusangulawo ebibi byabwe mu maaso go. Obawangulire ddala, era obabonereze mu kiseera ky’obusungu bwo.
