Jeremiah 21
1 The word which it came to Jeremiah from with Yahweh when sent to him the king Zedekiah Pashhur [the] son of Malkijah and Zephaniah [the] son of Maaseiah the priest saying.
Kino kye kigambo ekyajja eri Yeremiya okuva eri Mukama, kabaka Zeddekiya bwe yamutumira Pasukuli mutabani wa Malukiya ne Zeffaniya kabona mutabani wa Maaseya okumugamba nti,
2 Seek please for us Yahweh for Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon [is] waging war on us perhaps he will do Yahweh with us according to all wonders his and he may go up from on us.
“Tubuulize kaakano ku Mukama kubanga Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni atulumbye. Oboolyawo Mukama anatukolera ekyamagero ng’edda, Nebukadduneeza n’atuleka.”
3 And he said Jeremiah to them thus you will say! to Zedekiah.
Naye Yeremiya n’abaddamu nti, “Mugambe Zeddekiya nti,
4 Thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel here I [am] about to turn round [the] weapons of war which [are] in hand your which you [are] fighting by them with [the] king of Babylon and with the Chaldeans who are laying siege on you from [the] outside of the wall and I will gather them into [the] middle of the city this.
‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, Nnaatera okuboolekeza ebyokulwanyisa byammwe ebiri mu mikono gyammwe bye mukozesa okulwanyisa kabaka w’e Babulooni n’Abakaludaaya ababazinze ne beetooloola ebweru wa bbugwe w’ekibuga kyammwe. Nzija kubakuŋŋaanyiza munda mu kibuga kino.
5 And I will fight I with you by a hand outstretched and by an arm strong and in anger and in rage and in wrath great.
Nze kennyini nzija kubalwanyisa n’omukono gwange ogw’amaanyi, ogugoloddwa mu busungu, n’ekiruyi n’obukambwe obungi.
6 And I will strike down [the] inhabitants of the city this and the humankind and the animal[s] by a pestilence great they will die.
Era ndittisa kawumpuli omubi, abantu awamu n’ensolo enkambwe, mu kibuga kino.
7 And after thus [the] utterance of Yahweh I will give Zedekiah [the] king of Judah and servants his - and the people and those [who] remain in the city this from the pestilence - from the sword and from the famine in [the] hand of Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon and in [the] hand of enemies their and in [the] hand of [those who] seek life their and he will strike down them to [the] mouth of [the] sword not he will have mercy on them and not he will show pity and not he will have compassion.
Oluvannyuma lw’ekyo, nnaawaayo Zeddekiya kabaka wa Yuda, n’abakungu be n’abantu bonna mu kibuga kino abanaaba bawonye kawumpuli, ekitala n’enjala ebya Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni n’abalabe baabwe ababanoonya okubatta. Nebukadduneeza anaabatta n’ekitala, taabalage kisa n’akatono wadde okubasaasira oba okubasonyiwa.’
8 And to the people this you will say thus he says Yahweh here I [am] putting before you [the] way of life and [the] way of death.
“Era abantu bagambe nti, ‘Bw’ati Mukama bw’ayogera nti: Laba mbateereddewo ekkubo ery’obulamu era n’ekkubo ery’okufa.
9 The [one who] remains in the city this he will die by the sword and by famine and by pestilence and the [one who] goes out and he will fall on the Chaldeans who are laying siege on you (and he will live *Q(K)*) and it will belong to him life his to plunder.
Buli anaasigala mu kibuga kino ajja kufa ekitala, oba enjala oba kawumpuli. Naye buli afuluma ne yeewaayo eri Abakaludaaya ababazingizza, ajja kuba mulamu, era anaawonya obulamu bwe.
10 For I have set face my on the city this for harm and not for good [the] utterance of Yahweh in [the] hand of [the] king of Babylon it will be given and he will burn it with fire.
Mmaliridde okuleetera ekibuga kino akabi so si mirembe, bw’ayogera Mukama. Kijja kuweebwayo mu mikono gya kabaka w’e Babulooni, era ajja kukizikiriza n’omuliro.’
11 And to [the] house of [the] king of Judah hear [the] word of Yahweh.
“N’ekirala gamba ennyumba ya Yuda ey’obwakabaka nti, ‘Wulira ekigambo kya Mukama;
12 O house of David thus he says Yahweh judge to the morning justice and deliver [one who] has been robbed from [the] hand of an oppressor lest it should go forth like fire rage my and it will burn and there not [will be one who] extinguishes because of [the] wickedness of (deeds your. *Q(K)*)
ggwe ennyumba ya Dawudi, “‘kino Mukama ky’agamba: Musale emisango mu bwenkanya, mununule ababa banyagiddwa ababanyigiriza, obusungu bwange buleme kuvaayo bubookye ng’omuliro olw’ekibi kye mukoze, nga tewakyali n’omu abuziyiza.
13 Here I [am] against you O inhabitant of the valley O rock of the plain [the] utterance of Yahweh O those [who] say who? will he come down on us and who? will he come in hiding places our.
Laba nkugguddeko olutalo, ggwe Yerusaalemi abeera waggulu w’ekiwonvu, ku lusozi olwagaagavu olw’ekyaziyazi, bw’ayogera Mukama, mmwe abagamba nti, “Ani ayinza okutulumba? Ani ayinza okuyingira mu nnyumba zaffe?”
14 And I will visit [judgment] on you according to [the] fruit of deeds your [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will kindle a fire in forest its and it will consume all around it.
Nzija kubabonereza ng’ebikolwa byammwe bwe biri, era ndikoleeza omuliro mu kibira kyammwe, gwokye byonna ebikyetoolodde,’” bw’ayogera Mukama.
