Jeremiah 20
1 And he heard Pashhur [the] son of Immer the priest and he [was] an officer a chief in [the] house of Yahweh Jeremiah prophesying the words these.
Ikawa kuhani Pashuri mwana wa Imeri, mkuu wa maafisa wa Hekalu la Bwana, alipomsikia Yeremia akitoa unabii juu ya mambo haya,
2 And he struck Pashhur Jeremiah the prophet and he put him on the stock[s] which [was] at [the] gate of Benjamin upper which [was] in [the] house of Yahweh.
akaamuru Yeremia nabii apigwe na kufungwa kwenye mkatale katika Lango la Juu la Benyamini huko Hekaluni la Bwana.
3 And it was from [the] next day and he brought out Pashhur Jeremiah from the stock[s] and he said to him Jeremiah not Pashhur he has called Yahweh name your that except Terror from around.
Siku ya pili Pashuri alipomwachia kutoka kwenye mkatale, Yeremia akamwambia, “Bwana hakukuita jina lako kuwa Pashuri bali Magor-Misabibu.
4 For thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to make you into a terror to yourself and to all friends your and they will fall by [the] sword of enemies their and eyes your [will be] looking and all Judah I will give in [the] hand of [the] king of Babylon and he will take into exile them Babylon towards and he will strike down them with the sword.
Kwa kuwa hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: ‘Nitakufanya kuwa hofu kuu kwako wewe mwenyewe na rafiki zako wote, na kwa macho yako mwenyewe utawaona wakianguka kwa upanga wa adui zao. Nitawatia Yuda wote mikononi mwa mfalme wa Babeli, ambaye atawachukua na kuwapeleka Babeli, ama awaue kwa upanga.
5 And I will give all [the] wealth of the city this and all property its and every precious thing its and all [the] treasures of [the] kings of Judah I will give in [the] hand of enemies their and they will plunder them and they will take them and they will bring them Babylon towards.
Nitatia utajiri wote wa mji huu kwa adui zao: yaani mazao yao yote, vitu vyao vyote vya thamani, na hazina zote za wafalme wa Yuda. Watavitwaa kwa nyara na kuvipeleka Babeli.
6 And you O Pashhur and all [those who] dwell of house your you will go in captivity and Babylon you will go and there you will die and there you will be buried you and all friends your whom you prophesied to them with falsehood.
Nawe Pashuri pamoja na wote waishio katika nyumba yako mtakwenda uhamishoni Babeli. Mtafia humo na kuzikwa, wewe na rafiki zako wote ambao umewatabiria uongo.’”
7 You deceived me O Yahweh and I was deceived you prevailed over me and you prevailed I have become a laughing stock all the day all of it [is] mocking me.
Ee Bwana, umenidanganya, nami nikadanganyika; wewe una nguvu kuniliko, nawe umenishinda. Ninadharauliwa mchana kutwa, kila mmoja ananidhihaki.
8 For as often as I speak I cry out violence and havoc I proclaim for it has become [the] word of Yahweh for me a reproach and derision all the day.
Kila ninenapo, ninapiga kelele nikitangaza ukatili na uharibifu. Kwa hiyo neno la Bwana limeniletea matukano na mashutumu mchana kutwa.
9 And I will say not I will remember him and not I will speak again in name his and it will become in heart my like a fire burning shut up in bones my and I will be weary to hold [it] in and not I will be able.
Lakini kama nikisema, “Sitamtaja wala kusema tena kwa jina lake,” neno lake linawaka ndani ya moyo wangu kama moto, moto uliofungwa ndani ya mifupa yangu. Nimechoka sana kwa kulizuia ndani mwangu; kweli, siwezi kujizuia.
10 For I have heard [the] whispering of many [people] terror [is] from round about tell and let us tell about him every person of peace my [are] [the] watchers of stumbling my perhaps he will be deceived and we will prevail to him and we will take vengeance our from him.
Ninasikia minongʼono mingi, “Hofu iko pande zote! Mshtakini! Twendeni tumshtaki!” Rafiki zangu wote wananisubiri niteleze, wakisema, “Labda atadanganyika; kisha tutamshinda na kulipiza kisasi juu yake.”
11 And Yahweh [is] with me like a warrior ruthless there-fore persecutors my they will stumble and not they will prevail they will be ashamed exceedingly for not they will succeed ignominy of perpetuity not it will be forgotten.
Lakini Bwana yu pamoja nami kama shujaa mwenye nguvu; hivyo washtaki wangu watajikwaa na kamwe hawatashinda. Watashindwa, nao wataaibika kabisa; kukosa adabu kwao hakutasahauliwa.
12 And O Yahweh of hosts [who] tests [the] righteous [who] sees kidneys and heart let me see vengeance your from them for to you I have made known case my.
Ee Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, wewe umjaribuye mwenye haki na kupima moyo na nia, hebu nione ukilipiza kisasi juu yao, kwa maana kwako nimeliweka shauri langu.
13 Sing to Yahweh praise Yahweh for he has delivered [the] life of [the] needy from [the] hand of evil-doers.
Mwimbieni Bwana! Mpeni Bwana sifa! Yeye huokoa uhai wa mhitaji kutoka mikononi mwa waovu.
14 [is] cursed The day when I was born on it [the] day when she bore me mother my may not it be blessed.
Ilaaniwe siku niliyozaliwa! Nayo isibarikiwe ile siku mama yangu aliyonizaa!
15 [be] cursed The person who he bore [the] news father my saying he has been born to you a son a male surely he made rejoice him.
Alaaniwe mtu yule aliyemletea baba yangu habari, yule aliyemfanya afurahi sana, akisema, “Mtoto amezaliwa kwako, tena mtoto wa kiume!”
16 And he will be the person that like the cities which he overthrew Yahweh and not he had compassion and he will hear a cry of distress in the morning and a shout of alarm at [the] time of noon.
Mtu huyo na awe kama miji ile ambayo Bwana Mungu aliiangamiza bila huruma. Yeye na asikie maombolezo asubuhi na kilio cha vita adhuhuri.
17 That not he killed me from [the] womb and she became for me mother my grave my and womb her [was] pregnant of perpetuity.
Kwa sababu hakuniua nikiwa tumboni, hivyo mama yangu angekuwa kaburi langu, nalo tumbo lake la uzazi lingebaki kuwa kubwa daima.
18 Why? this from [the] womb did I come forth to see trouble and sorrow and they have come to an end in shame days my.
Kwa nini basi nilitoka tumboni ili kuona taabu na huzuni, na kuzimaliza siku zangu katika aibu?
