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.
Hili lilikuwa neno ambalo lilikuja kwa Yeremia kuhusu Wayahudi wote walioishi katika nchi ya Misri, wale wanaoishi Migdoli, Tahpanhesi, Memphis, na katika nchi ya Patrosi.
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.
“Yahwe wa majeshi, Mungu wa Israel, asema hivi: Wewe mwenyewe umeyaona maafa yote niliyoleta juu ya Yerusalemu na miji yote ya Yuda. Ona, ni ukiwa leo. Hakuna yeyote anaishi mwao.
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.
Hii ni kwa sababu ya mambo maovu waliyofanya kunikosea mimi kwa kwenda kuchoma ubani na kuabudu miungu mengine. Hawa walikuwa miungu ambao wala wao wenyewe, wala ninyi, wala mababu zenu walijua.
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.
Basi nirudie kuwatuma watumwa wangu wote manabii kwao. Niliwatuma wao kusema, 'Acha kufanya vitu hivi machukizo ambayo nachukia.
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.
Lakini hawakunisikiliza. Walikataa kuwa makini au kuyaacha maovu kwa kuchoma ubani kwa miungu mingine.
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.
Basi hasira yangu na gadhabu yangu zilimwanga na kuwasha moto kwenye miji ya Yuda na mitaa ya Yerusalemu. Basi waliharibiwa na kuteketezwa, kama katika siku ya leo.”
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.
Basi sasa Yahwe, Mungu wa majeshi na Mungu wa Israel, asema hivi, “Kwanini unafanya maovu makubwa dhidi yenu? Kwanini mnasababisha ninyi wenyewe kujitenga kutoka miongoni mwa Yuda - wanaume na wanawake, watoto na wanyonyao? Hakuna mabaki yenu yatabaki.
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.
Kwa maovu yenu mmenikosea pamoja na matendo ya mikono yenu, kwa kuchoma ubani kwa miungu mingine kwenye nchi ya Misri, ambapo mmekwenda kuishi. Mmeenda huko ili kwamba mtaangamizwa, ili kwamba mtalaaniwa na mashutumu miongoni mwa mataifa yote ya duniani.
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.
Mmesahau maovu yaliyofanywa na mababu zenu na maouvu yaliyofanywa na wafalme wa Yuda na wake zao? Mmesahau uovu uliofanywa na ninyi na wake zenu katika nchi ya Yuda na mitaa ya Yerusalemu?
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.
Kwa siku hii, hawajanyenyekea bado. Hawashimu sheria yangu au maagizo niliyoweka mbele yao na mababu zao, wala hawatembei nazo.”
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.
Kwa hiyo sasa Yahwe wa majeshi, Mungu wa Israel, asema hivi, “Ona, Nimekaribia kuweka uso wangu dhidi yenu kuleta maafa kwenu na kuiharibu Yuda yote.
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.
Kwa kuwa nitachukua mabaki wa Yuda ambaye ameanza safari kwenda nchi ya Misri kuishi huko. Nitafanya hivi ili kwamba wataangamia wote katika nchi ya Misri. Wataanguka kwa upanga na njaa. Kutoka wadogo kwa wakubwa wataangamia kwa upanga na njaa. Watakufa na watakuwa sababu ya kuaapa, kulaani, mashutumu, na kitu kibaya.
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.
Kwa kuwa nitawaadhibu watu wakazi wa nchi ya Misri kama nilivyoadhibu Yerusalem kwa upanga, njaa, na pigo.
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.
Hakuna mkimbizi au mwathirika wa mabaki ya Yuda ambaye wataenda kuishi huko kwenye nchi ya Misri watarudi kwenye nchi ya Yuda, hata kama wanataka kurudi na kuishi huko. Hakuna kati yao atarudi, ijapokuwa wachache ambayo watatoroka kutoka huko.”
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.
Kisha watu wote ambao walijua kwamba wake zao walikuwa wakichoma ubani kwa miungu mingine, na wanawake wote waliokuwa katika kusanyiko kuu, na watu wote ambao walikuwa wakiishi kwenye nchi ya Misri katika Pathrosi walimjibu Yeremia.
16 The word which you have spoken to us in [the] name of Yahweh not we [are] about to listen to you.
Walisema, “Kuhusu neno ambalo mmetuambia sisi kwa jina la Yahwe: Hatutakusikiliza.
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.
Kwa hakika tutafanya mambo yote ambayo tulisema tungefanya: kuchoma ubani kwa malkia wa Mbingu na kumwaga kinywaji cha sadaka kwake kama sisi, mababu zetu, wafalme wetu, na viongozi wetu walivyofanya kwenye miji ya Yuda na mitaa ya Yerusalemu. Kisha tutajazwa pamoja na chakula na tutafanikiwa, pasipo kupata maafa yoyote.
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.
Wakati tunajiepusha kutofanya mambo haya, si kutoa sadaka ya ubani kwa Malkia wa Mbinguni na si kumwanga kinywaji cha sadaka kwake, tulikuwa wote tunaumwa umaskini na tulikuwa tunakufa kwa upanga na njaa.”
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.
Wanawake walisema, “Wakati tulipokuwa tunatengeneza ubani wa sadaka mbele ya Malkia wa Mbinguni na kumwaga kinywaji cha sadaka kwake, tulifanya hivi vitu pasipo waume wetu kujua.”
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.
Kisha Yeremia alisema kwa watu wote - kwa wanaume na wanawake, na watu wote waliomjibu yeye - alihubiri na kusema,
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.
“Je Yahwe hakukumbuka ubani ambao mliuchoma kwenye miji ya Yuda na mitaa ya Yerusalem - wewe na mababu zenu, wafalme wenu na viongozi, na watu wa nchi? Kwa kuwa Yahwe anakumbuka hili kwenye akili; inakuja kwenye mawazo yake.
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.
Basi hawakuweza tena kuvumilia kwa sababu ya matendo yenu maovu, kwa sababu machukizo ambayo mlifanya. Basi nchi yenu imekuwa ukiwa, kutisha, na laana basi hapakuwa na mkazi tena kwa siku hii.
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.
Kwa sababu mlichoma ubani na kufanya dhambi dhidi ya Yahwe, na kwa sababu msingesikiliza sauti yake, sheria yake, amri zake, au maagizo ya agano lake, maafa haya dhidi yenu yemetokea kama kwa siku hii. “
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.
Kisha Yeremia alisema kwa watu wote na wanawake wote, “Sikia neno la Yahwe, Yuda yote ambao wamo katika nchi ya Misri.
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.
Yahwe wa majeshi, Mungu wa Israel, asema hivi, Wewe na wake zako wote mmesema kwa vinywa vyenu na kubeba kwa mikono yenu kile mlichosema, “Hakika tutabeba viapo ambavyo tulifanya kumwabudu Malkia wa Mbinguni, kwanga kinywaji cha sadaka kwake.” Sasa timiza viapo vyenu, vibebe.”
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.
Basi, sikiliza neno la Yahwe, Yuda yote ambao mnaishi katika nchi ya Misri, 'Ona, Nimeapa kwa jina langu kuu-asema Yahwe. Jina langu halitaitwa kwa vinywa vya wanaume wowote wa Yuda kwenye nchi ya Misri, wewe ambaye sasa unasema, “Kama Bwana Yahwe aishivyo.”
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.
Ona, Ninakutazama juu yako kwa ajili ya maafa na si kwa uzuri. Kila mtu wa Yuda katika nchi ya Misri ataangamia kwa upanga na njaa mpaka wote wameishia.
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.
Kisha waathirika wa upanga watarudi kutoka nchi ya Misri kwa nchi ya Yuda, peke idadi ndogo yao. Basi mabaki yote ya Yuda walioenda kwenye nchi ya Misri kuishi huko watajua ambao neno litakuwa kweli: yangu au yao.
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.
Hii itakuwa ishara kwa ajili yako - hili ni tamko la Yahwe - kwamba ninaweka dhidi yenu katika eneo hili, ili kwamba mtajua kwamba maneno yangu hakika yatawavamia pamoja na maafa.
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.
Yahwe asema hivi, 'Tazama, ninakaribia kumtoa Farao Hofra mfalme wa Misri kwenye mkono wa adui zake na kwenye mkono wa wale wanaotafuta kumuua. Itakuwa sawa kama wakati nilimpa Sedekia mfalme wa Yuda kwenye mkono wa Nebukadreza mfalme wa Babeli, adui wake aliyetafuta maisha yake.
