Jeremiah 42
1 And they approached all [the] commanders of the armies and Johanan [the] son of Kareah and Jezaniah [the] son of Hoshaiah and all the people from [the] small and unto [the] great.
Awo abaduumizi ba magye bonna, ng’ogasseeko Yokanaani mutabani wa Kaleya ne Yezaniya mutabani wa Kosaaya, n’abantu bonna okuva ku asokerwako wansi okutuuka ku akomererayo waggulu baatuukirira
2 And they said to Jeremiah the prophet may it fall please supplication our before you and pray for us to Yahweh God your for all the remnant this for we are left a few from many just as eyes your [are] seeing us.
nnabbi Yeremiya ne bamugamba nti, “Tukwegayiridde, wulira okusaba kwaffe osabe Mukama Katonda wo ku lw’abantu bano bonna abafisseewo. Kale naawe nga bw’olaba, abaali abangi kaakano tusigaddewo batono nnyo.
3 So he may declare to us Yahweh God your the way which we will go in it and the thing which we will do.
Saba Mukama Katonda wo atubuulire gye tusaanye okulaga ne kye tusaanye okukola.”
4 And he said to them Jeremiah the prophet I have heard here I [am] about to pray to Yahweh God your according to words your and it will be every word which he will answer Yahweh you I will tell to you not I will withhold from you a word.
Nnabbi Yeremiya n’abagamba nti, “Mbawulidde, ddala nzija kubasabira eri Mukama Katonda wammwe nga bwe munsabye; nzija kubabuulira byonna Mukama by’anaŋŋamba, sirina kye nnaabakisa.”
5 And they they said to Jeremiah may he become Yahweh on us a witness of truth and faithful if not according to every word which he will send you Yahweh God your to us so we will do.
Awo ne bagamba Yeremiya nti, “Mukama abeere omujulirwa ow’amazima era omwesigwa gye tuli, bwe tutalikola kyonna Mukama Katonda wo ky’anaakutuma okutugamba.
6 Whether good and or bad to [the] voice of - Yahweh God our whom (we *Q(K)*) [are] sending you to him we will listen so that this it may go well for us for we will listen to [the] voice of Yahweh God our.
Oba kyangu oba kikalubo tujja kugondera Mukama Katonda waffe, gye tukutuma kaakano, tulyoke tufune emirembe, kubanga tujja kugondera Mukama Katonda waffe.”
7 And it was from [the] end of ten days and it came [the] word of Yahweh to Jeremiah.
Bwe waayitawo ennaku kkumi ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yeremiya.
8 And he summoned Johanan [the] son of Kareah and all [the] commanders of the armies who [were] with him and all the people from [the] small and unto [the] great.
N’alyoka ayita Yokanaani omwana wa Kaleya n’abaduumizi b’eggye lya Yuda bonna abaali naye, n’abantu bonna okuva ku asokerwako wansi okutuuka ku akomererayo waggulu.
9 And he said to them thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel whom you sent me to him to make fall supplication your before him.
N’abagamba nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri, gye mwantuma okubabuuliza nti,
10 Certainly [if] you will remain in the land this and I will build up you and not I will tear [you] down and I will plant you and not I will pluck [you] up for I am grieved concerning the harm which I have done to you.
‘Bwe munaasigala mu nsi eno, nzija kubazimba era siibaleke kugwa. Nzija kubasimba so si kubasimbula, kubanga nnumiddwa olw’ekikangabwa kye mbatuusizzaako.
11 May not you be afraid of [the] king of Babylon whom you [are] afraid of him may not you be afraid from him [the] utterance of Yahweh that [am] with you I to save you and to deliver you from hand his.
Temutya kabaka w’e Babulooni, kaakano gwe mutya. Temumutya, bw’ayogera Mukama, kubanga ndi nammwe era nzija kubalokola, mbanunule mu mukono gwa kabaka oyo.
12 So I may give to you compassion and he will have compassion on you and he will restore you to land your.
Nzija kubalaga ekisa alyoke abakwatirwe ekisa, abakomyewo mu nsi yammwe.’
13 And if [are] saying you not we will remain in the land this to not to listen to [the] voice of Yahweh God your.
“Wabula bwe mugamba nti, ‘Tetuusigale mu nsi eno gye mbakomezzaamu,’ olwo munaaba temugondedde Mukama Katonda wammwe.
14 Saying In-deed [the] land of Egypt we will go where not we will see warfare and [the] sound of a trumpet not we will hear and for bread not we will be hungry and there we will dwell.
Bwe mugamba nti, ‘Nedda, tujja kugenda tubeere e Misiri, gye tutaalabe ntalo wadde okuwulira ekkondeere nga livuga oba okubulwa omugaati ogw’okulya,’
15 And now therefore hear [the] word of Yahweh O remnant of Judah thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel if you really you will set! faces your to go Egypt and you will go to sojourn there.
kale nno muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama, mmwe abaasigalawo mu Yuda. Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ‘Bwe munaamalirira okugenda e Misiri era ne mugenda okubeererayo ddala,
16 And it will be the sword which you [are] afraid from it there it will overtake you in [the] land of Egypt and the famine which you - [are] anxious from it there it will pursue closely behind you Egypt and there you will die.
olwo ekitala kye mutya kijja kubasanga eyo, n’enjala gye mutya ejja kubagoberera e Misiri era eyo gye mulifiira.
17 And they may be all the people who they have set faces their to go Egypt to sojourn there they will die by the sword by famine and by pestilence and not he will belong to them a survivor and an escapee from before the calamity which I [will] bring on them.
Mumanyire ddala nti, Abo bonna abamaliridde okugenda e Misiri okusenga eyo balifa kitala, n’enjala ne kawumpuli; tewaliba n’omu alisigalawo wadde okuwona ekikangabwa kye ndibaleetako.’
18 For thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel just as it was poured out anger my and rage my on [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem so it will pour out rage my on you when go you Egypt and you will become an curse and a horror and a curse and a reproach and not you will see again the place this.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ‘Ng’obusungu bwange n’ekiruyi bwe bifukiddwa ku abo abali mu Yerusaalemi, bwe kityo ekiruyi kyange bwe kinaafukibwa ku mmwe bwe munaagenda e Misiri. Munaabeera kya kukolimirwa, era kya ntiisa, era kya kusalirwa musango era kivume: temuliraba kifo kino nate.’
19 He has spoken Yahweh to you O remnant of Judah may not you go Egypt assuredly you will know that I have warned you this day.
“Mmwe abafisseewo ku Yuda, Mukama abagambye nti, ‘Temugenda Misiri.’ Mumanye kino nga mbalabula leero
20 For (you caused to err *Q(K)*) selves your for you you sent me to Yahweh God your saying pray for us to Yahweh God our and according to all that he will say Yahweh God our so tell to us and we will do [it].
nti, Mwakola ekisobyo kinene bwe mwantuma eri Mukama Katonda wammwe ne mugamba nti, ‘Tusabire eri Mukama Katonda waffe: tubuulire byonna by’agamba tujja kubikola.’
21 And I have told to you this day and not you have listened to [the] voice of Yahweh God your and to all that he sent me to you.
Mbabuulidde leero, naye era temugondedde Mukama Katonda wammwe mu byonna bye yantuma okubagamba.
22 And therefore assuredly you will know that by the sword by famine and by pestilence you will die in the place where you desire to go to sojourn there.
Kale nno mutegeerere ddala kino nga mulittibwa na kitala, oba njala oba kawumpuli mu nsi gye mwagala okugenda okusengamu.”
