< Jeremiah 27 >

1 In [the] beginning of [the] reign of Jehoiakim [the] son of Josiah [the] king of Judah it came the word this to Jeremiah from with Yahweh saying.
Ku ntandikwa y’obufuuzi bwa Zeddekiya mutabani wa Yosiya kabaka wa Yuda, ekigambo kino kyajjira Yeremiya okuva eri Mukama:
2 Thus he said Yahweh to me make for yourself fetters and yoke-bars and you will put them on neck your.
Bw’ati Mukama bwe yaŋŋamba nti: “Weekolere ekikoligo okiteeke ku nsingo yo,
3 And you will send them to [the] king of Edom and to [the] king of Moab and to [the] king of [the] people of Ammon and to [the] king of Tyre and to [the] king of Sidon by [the] hand of messengers who have come Jerusalem to Zedekiah [the] king of Judah.
oweereze ekigambo eri bakabaka ba Edomu, ne Mowaabu, ne Ammoni, ne Tuulo ne Sidoni, ng’otuma ababaka abazze mu Yerusaalemi eri Zeddekiya kabaka wa Yuda.
4 And you will command them to masters their saying thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel thus you will say to masters your.
Tumira bakama baabwe obagambe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, “Kino mukitegeeze bakama bammwe.
5 I I made the earth humankind and the animal[s] which [are] on [the] surface of the earth by power my great and by arm my outstretched and I give it to [those] whom it is pleasing in view my.
N’amaanyi gange amangi n’omukono ogugoloddwa natonda ensi n’abantu baamu n’ensolo ezigiriko, era ngiwa omuntu yenna gwe njagala.
6 And now I I give all the lands these in [the] hand of Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon servant my and also [the] animal[s] of the field I give to him to serve him.
Kaakano ŋŋenda kuwaayo amawanga gammwe eri omuddu wange Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni, n’ensolo ez’omu nsiko nzija kuziteeka wansi we.
7 And they will serve him all the nations and son his and [the] son of son his until comes [the] time of land his also he and they will work by him nations many and kings great.
Amawanga gonna galimuweereza ne mutabani we ne muzzukulu we okutuusa ekiseera eky’ensi ye okusalirwa omusango lwe kirituuka; olwo amawanga mangi ne bakabaka bangi ab’amaanyi balimuwangula.
8 And it will be the nation and the kingdom which not they will serve him Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon and which not it will put neck its in [the] yoke of [the] king of Babylon with the sword and with famine and with pestilence I will visit [judgment] on the nation that [the] utterance of Yahweh until have consumed I them by hand his.
“‘“Naye singa eggwanga lyonna oba obwakabaka bwonna tebuliweereza Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni oba okuteeka ensingo wansi w’ekikoligo ky’abwo, nzija kubonereza ensi eyo n’ekitala, n’ekyeya, ne kawumpuli, bw’ayogera Mukama, okutuusa lwe ndigizikiriza n’omukono gwange.
9 And you may not you listen to prophets your and to diviners your and to dreams your and to soothsayers your and to sorcerers your who they [are] saying to you saying not you will serve [the] king of Babylon.
Noolwekyo bannabbi bammwe, n’abalaguzi, n’abavvuunuzi b’ebirooto, temubawuliriza wadde abalogo wadde abafumu ababagamba nti, ‘Temulibeera baddu ba kabaka w’e Babulooni.’
10 For falsehood they [are] prophesying to you so as to remove far away you from on land your and I will drive out you and you will perish.
Baabawa bunnabbi bwa bulimba obunaabaleetera okutwalibwa ewala okuva mu mawanga gammwe. Ndibagobera wala era mulizikirira.
11 And the nation which it will bring neck its in [the] yoke of [the] king of Babylon and it will serve him and I will let remain it on land its [the] utterance of Yahweh and it will work it and it will dwell in it.
Naye singa eggwanga lirikutamya ensingo yaalyo wansi w’ekikoligo kya kabaka w’e Babulooni limuweereze, nzija kuleka eggwanga eryo lisigale mu nsi yaalyo, okugirima, n’okugibeeramu, bw’ayogera Mukama.”’”
12 And to Zedekiah [the] king of Judah I spoke according to all the words these saying bring necks your in [the] yoke of [the] king of Babylon and serve him and people his and live.
Nategeeza obubaka bwe bumu eri Zeddekiya kabaka wa Yuda nga ŋŋamba nti, “Kutamya ensingo yo wansi w’ekikoligo kya kabaka w’e Babulooni, beera omuddu we n’abantu be, onoobeera mulamu.
13 Why? will you die you and people your by the sword by famine and by pestilence just as he has spoken Yahweh to the nation which not it will serve [the] king of Babylon.
Lwaki ggwe n’abantu bo mufa ekitala, n’ekyeya ne kawumpuli Mukama by’agambye okutuuka ku nsi yonna eteefuuke muddu wa kabaka w’e Babulooni?
14 And may not you listen to [the] words of the prophets who say to you saying not you will serve [the] king of Babylon for falsehood they [are] prophesying to you.
Towuliriza bigambo bya bannabbi abakugamba nti, ‘Tolibeera muddu wa kabaka w’e Babulooni,’ kubanga bakutegeeza bya bulimba.
15 For not I sent them [the] utterance of Yahweh and they [are] prophesying in name my to falsehood so as to drive out I you and you will perish you and the prophets who are prophesying to you.
‘Sibatumanga,’ bw’ayogera Mukama. ‘Bawa obunnabbi bwa bulimba mu linnya lyange. Noolwekyo, nzija kubagobera wala muzikirire, mmwe ne bannabbi ababategeeza obunnabbi.’”
16 And to the priests and to all the people this I spoke saying thus he says Yahweh may not you listen to [the] words of prophets your who are prophesying to you saying there! [the] articles of [the] house of Yahweh [are] about to be brought back from Babylon now quickly for falsehood they [are] prophesying to you.
Olwo ne ŋŋamba bakabona n’abantu bano bonna nti, “Kino Mukama ky’agamba nti, Temuwuliriza bannabbi abagamba nti, ‘Amangu ddala ebintu by’omu nnyumba ya Mukama bijja kukomezebwawo okuva mu Babulooni.’ Bababuulira bunnabbi bwa bulimba.
17 May not you listen to them serve [the] king of Babylon and live why? will it become the city this a ruin.
Temubawuliriza. Muweereze kabaka w’e Babulooni, mubeere balamu. Lwaki ekibuga kino kifuuka amatongo?
18 And if [are] prophets they and if there [is] [the] word of Yahweh with them let them entreat please Yahweh of hosts to not go the articles - which remain in [the] house of Yahweh and [the] house of [the] king of Judah and in Jerusalem Babylon towards.
Bwe baba bannabbi nga balina ekigambo kya Mukama, leka bakaabirire Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye nti ebintu eby’omuwendo ebikyasigadde mu nnyumba ya Mukama ne mu lubiri lwa kabaka wa Yuda ne mu Yerusaalemi bireme kutwalibwa Babulooni.
19 For thus he says Yahweh of hosts concerning the pillars and on the sea and on the stands and on [the] remainder of the articles which remain in the city this.
Kubanga bw’ati Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye bw’ayogera ku mpagi, n’Ennyanja, okuteekebwa ebintu, n’ebintu ebirala ebisigadde mu kibuga kino,
20 Which not he took them Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon when took into exile he (Jeconiah *Q(k)*) [the] son of Jehoiakim [the] king of Judah from Jerusalem Babylon towards and all [the] nobles of Judah and Jerusalem.
kabaka Nebukadduneeza ow’e Babulooni by’ataatwala lwe yatwala Yekoyakini mutabani wa Yekoyakimu kabaka wa Yuda n’abakungu bonna aba Yuda ne Yerusaalemi.
21 For thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel on the articles which remain [the] house of Yahweh and [the] house of [the] king of Judah and Jerusalem.
Bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri ku bikwata ku bibya ebyasigala mu nnyumba ya Mukama ne mu lubiri olwa kabaka wa Yuda ne mu Yerusaalemi nti,
22 Babylon towards they will be taken and there they will remain until [the] day give attention to I them [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will bring up them and I will bring back them to the place this.
‘Biritwalibwa mu Babulooni eyo gye birisigala okutuusa ku lunaku lwe ndibikima, olwo ndibikomyawo mbizze mu kifo kino,’” bw’ayogera Mukama.
