Jeremiah 44
1 The word which it came to Jeremiah concerning all the Jews who were dwelling in [the] land of Egypt who were dwelling in Migdol and in Tahpanhes and in Memphis and in [the] land of Pathros saying.
Ekigambo ne kijjira Yeremiya ekikwata ku Bayudaaya bonna abaali mu nsi y’e Misiri e Migudooli n’e Tapaneese n’e Noofu ne mu nsi ey’e Pasuloosi nga kigamba nti,
2 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel you you have seen all the calamity which I brought on Jerusalem and on all [the] cities of Judah and there! they [are] a ruin the day this and there not in them [is] an inhabitant.
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, Mwalaba ekikangabwa ekinene kye naleeta ku Yerusaalemi ne ku bibuga byonna ebya Yuda. Leero matongo
3 Because of wickedness their which they did to provoke to anger me by going to make smoke to serve gods other which not they had known them they you and ancestors your.
olw’ebibi bye baakola. Bankwasa obusungu olw’okwotereza bakatonda abalala obubaane n’okusinza, bo newaakubadde mmwe wadde bajjajjammwe be batamanyangako.
4 And I sent to you all servants my the prophets rising early and sending saying may not please you do [the] thing of abomination this which I hate.
Emirundi mingi natuma abaddu bange bannabbi, abaabagamba nti, ‘Temukola bintu bino eby’omuzizo bye nkyawa!’
5 And not they listened and not they inclined ear their to turn away from wickedness their to not to make smoke to gods other.
Naye tebaawulira wadde okufaayo; tebaalekayo mpisa zaabwe embi wadde okulekayo okwotereza bakatonda abalala obubaane.
6 And it poured forth rage my and anger my and it burned in [the] cities of Judah and in [the] streets of Jerusalem and they became a ruin a desolation as the day this.
Noolwekyo, obusungu bwange obungi ennyo kyebwava bubabuubuukira; ne buzinda ebibuga bya Yuda n’enguudo za Yerusaalemi era ne bifuuka amatongo, ne leero.
7 And therefore thus he says Yahweh [the] God of hosts [the] God of Israel why? [are] you doing harm great to selves your to cut off to yourselves man and woman child and suckling-child from [the] midst of Judah to not to leave for yourselves a remnant.
“Kale kaakano bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, Lwaki mweretako akabi akanene bwe kati nga musala ku Yuda abasajja n’abakazi, n’abaana abato n’abawere aba Yuda ne mutalekaawo muntu?
8 By provoking to anger me by [the] deeds of hands your by making smoke to gods other in [the] land of Egypt where you [have] come to sojourn there so as to cut off to yourselves and so as to become you a curse and a reproach among all [the] nations of the earth.
Lwaki munsunguwaza olw’ebyo emikono gyammwe bye gikoze, nga mwotereza bakatonda abalala obubaane e Misiri, gye mwajja okubeera? Mujja kwezikiriza mufuuke eky’omuzizo n’eky’okukolimirwa mu mawanga gonna ag’omu nsi.
9 ¿ Have you forgotten [the] wicked deeds of ancestors your and [the] wicked deeds of - [the] kings of Judah and [the] wicked deeds of wives his and wicked deeds your and [the] wicked deeds of wives your which they did in [the] land of Judah and in [the] streets of Jerusalem.
Mwerabidde ebibi bakitammwe ne bakabaka ba Yuda ne bakazi bammwe bye baakola era n’ebibi bye mwakola mmwe ne bakazi bammwe mu nsi ya Yuda ne mu nguudo za Yerusaalemi?
10 Not they have been made contrite until the day this and not they have feared and not they have walked in law my and in decrees my which I set before you and before ancestors your.
Naye n’okutuusa leero tebeetoowazizza wadde okutya, wadde okugondera amateeka gange n’ebiragiro bye nabateekerawo mmwe ne bajjajjammwe.
11 Therefore thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel here I [am] about to set face my on you for harm and to cut off all Judah.
“Noolwekyo, bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, Mmaliridde okubazikiriza mmwe ne Yuda yonna.
12 And I will take away [the] remnant of Judah who they set faces their to go [the] land of Egypt to sojourn there and they will meet their end everyone in [the] land of Egypt they will fall by the sword by famine they will meet their end from [the] small and unto [the] great by the sword and by famine they will die and they will become an curse a horror and a curse and a reproach.
Ndiggyawo abaasigalira mu Yuda abaamalirira okugenda e Misiri okusenga eyo. Bonna balizikiririra mu Misiri, balifa ekitala oba enjala. Okuva ku muto okutuuka ku mukulu asingayo balifa era balifuuka ekyenyinyalwa n’eky’okusekererwa era n’okukolimirwa.
13 And I will visit [judgment] on those [who] dwell in [the] land of Egypt just as I visited [judgment] on Jerusalem by the sword by famine and by pestilence.
Ndibonereza abo ababeera mu Misiri, bafe ekitala, n’enjala ne kawumpuli, nga bwe nabonereza Yerusaalemi.
14 And not he will belong an escapee and a survivor to [the] remnant of Judah who went to sojourn there in [the] land of Egypt and to return - [the] land of Judah where they [are] lifting up desire their to return to dwell there for not they will return that except fugitives.
Tewali n’omu ku baasigalawo mu Yuda eyaddukira e Misiri, aliwona oba alisigalawo okudda mu nsi ya Yuda, gye beegomba okudda, tewali aliddayo okuggyako abatono ennyo.”
15 And they answered Jeremiah all the men who knew that [were] making smoke wives their to gods other and all the women who were standing by a company great and all the people who were dwelling in [the] land of Egypt in Pathros saying.
Awo abasajja bonna abaali bamanyi nga bakazi baabwe baali bootereza bakatonda abalala obubaane, n’abakazi abalala abaaliwo, olukuŋŋaana nga lunene n’abantu bonna abaali babeera mu Misiri e Pasuloosi, ne baddamu Yeremiya nga boogera nti,
16 The word which you have spoken to us in [the] name of Yahweh not we [are] about to listen to you.
“Tetujja kuwulira bubaka bw’oyogedde naffe mu linnya lya Mukama!
17 For certainly we will do every thing - which it has gone out from mouth our to make smoke to [the] queen of the heavens and to pour out to her drink offerings just as we have done we and ancestors our kings our and officials our in [the] cities of Judah and in [the] streets of Jerusalem and we were satisfied food and we were good and distress not we saw.
Tujja kukola byonna bye twagambye okukola. Tujja kwotereza kabaka omukazi ow’eggulu obubaane, tuweeyo n’ebiweebwayo ebyokunywa nga bwe twakolanga, ffe ne bakitaffe, ne bakabaka baffe n’abakungu baffe mu bibuga bya Yuda ne mu nguudo z’e Yerusaalemi. Mu biseera ebyo twalina emmere nnyingi era nga tuli bulungi nga tetutuukibwako kabi.
18 And from then we ceased to make smoke to [the] queen of the heavens and to pour out to her drink offerings we have lacked everything and by the sword and by the famine we have met our end.
Naye okuva lwe twalekeraawo okwotereza kabaka omukazi ow’eggulu obubaane, n’okumuwa ekiweebwayo ekyokunywa, tetubadde na kantu konna era tubadde tuzikirira n’ekitala n’enjala.”
19 And if we [were] making smoke to [the] queen of the heavens and to pour out to her drink offerings ¿ without husbands our did we make for her cakes to form image her and to pour out to her drink offerings.
Abakazi ne bongerako nti, “Bwe twayotereza kabaka omukazi ow’eggulu obubaane ne tumuwa n’ekiweebwayo ekyokunywa, abaami baffe tebaamanya nti twali tumukolera obugaati obuliko ekifaananyi kye ne tumuwa n’ekiweebwayo ekyokunywa?”
20 And he said Jeremiah to all the people to the men and to the women and to all the people who had answered him a word saying.
Awo Yeremiya n’agamba abantu bonna, abasajja n’abakazi n’abantu bonna abaali bamuzzeemu nti,
21 ¿ Not the incense which you made smoke in [the] cities of Judah and in [the] streets of Jerusalem you and ancestors your kings your and officials your and [the] people of the land them did he remember Yahweh and did it come up on heart his.
“Obubaane bwammwe bwe mwayotereza mu bibuga bya Yuda ne mu nguudo za Yerusaalemi, mmwe ne bakitammwe, ne bakabaka bammwe, n’abakungu n’abantu bonna mu nsi, ebyo Mukama si bye yajjukira n’alowoozaako?
22 And not he was able Yahweh still to endure because of [the] wickedness of deeds your because of the abominations which you did and it has become land your a desolation and a waste and a curse from not inhabitant as the day this.
Mukama nga takyayinza kugumiikiriza bikolwa byammwe bibi n’eby’emizizo bye mwakola, ensi yammwe kyeyava efuuka ekikolimo n’ekyenyinyalwa era eteriimu bantu, nga bweri leero.
23 Because that you made smoke and that you had sinned to Yahweh and not you listened to [the] voice of Yahweh and in law his and in decrees his and in testimonies his not you walked there-fore it has happened to you the calamity this as the day this.
Kubanga mwotereza obubaane abalala era ne mukola ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama Katonda ne mutamugondera wadde okugoberera amateeka ge oba ebiragiro bye oba bye yategeeza, emitawaana gibagidde nga kaakano bwe mulabye.”
24 And he said Jeremiah to all the people and to all the women hear [the] word of Yahweh O all Judah which [is] in [the] land of Egypt.
Awo Yeremiya n’agamba abantu bonna, ng’ogasseeko abakazi nti, “Muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama Katonda, abantu mwenna aba Yuda mu Misiri.
25 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel saying you and wives your and you have spoken with mouth your and with hands your you have fulfilled - saying certainly we will perform vows our which we have vowed to make smoke to [the] queen of the heavens and to pour out to her drink offerings certainly you will carry out vows your and certainly you will perform vows your.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, mmwe ne bakazi bammwe mulaze mu bikolwa byammwe ebyo bye mwasuubiza nti, ‘Tujja kukola nga bwe tweyama okwotereza kabaka omukazi ow’eggulu obubaane era n’okumuwa ekiweebwayo ekyokunywa.’ “Mugende mu maaso, mukole bye mwasuubiza! Mutuukirize obweyamo bwammwe!
26 Therefore hear [the] word of Yahweh O all Judah who are dwelling in [the] land of Egypt here I I swear by own name my great he says Yahweh if it will be again name my named - by [the] mouth of - any person of Judah [who] says [by] [the] life of [the] Lord Yahweh in all [the] land of Egypt.
Naye muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama, mmwe Abayudaaya mwenna abali mu Misiri. ‘Ndayira mu linnya lyange ekkulu,’ bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Tewali n’omu ku abo abaava mu Yuda ababeera mu Misiri, aliddayo okuyita erinnya lyange wadde okulayira nti, “Nga Mukama Katonda bw’ali omulamu.”
27 Here I [am] watching over them for harm and not for good and they will meet their end every person of Judah who [is] in [the] land of Egypt by the sword and by famine until come to an end they.
Kubanga mbawaddeyo eri akabi, si lwa bulungi; Abayudaaya abali mu Misiri balimalibwawo n’ekitala n’enjala okutuusa bonna lwe baliggwaawo.
28 And escapees of [the] sword they will return! from [the] land of Egypt [the] land of Judah men of number and they will know all [the] remnant of Judah who went to [the] land of Egypt to sojourn there [the] word of whom? will it be established from me and from them.
Abo abaliwona ekitala ne baddayo mu Yuda okuva e Misiri baliba batono nnyo. Olwo abalisigalawo bonna okuva mu Yuda abajja okubeera mu Misiri, balitegeera ekigambo ekirikola, ekyange oba ekyabwe.
29 And this for you [will be] the sign [the] utterance of Yahweh that [am] about to visit [judgment] I on you in the place this so that you may know that certainly they will be established words my on you for harm.
“‘Kano ke kanaabeera akabonero gye muli nti ndibabonerereza mu kifo kino,’ bw’ayogera Mukama, ‘Mulyoke mumanye nga okulabula kwange okw’okubabonereza kujja kutuukirira.’
30 Thus - he says Yahweh here I [am] about to give Pharaoh Hophra [the] king of Egypt in [the] hand of enemies his and in [the] hand of [those who] seek life his just as I gave Zedekiah [the] king of Judah in [the] hand of Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon enemy his and [one who] sought life his.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Ŋŋenda kuwaayo Falaawo Kofera kabaka w’e Misiri eri abalabe be abanoonya okumutta, nga bwe n’awaayo Zeddekiya kabaka wa Yuda eri Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni, omulabe eyamunoonya okumutta.’”
