< Jeremiah 12 >

1 righteous you(m. s.) LORD for to contend to(wards) you surely justice: judgement to speak: speak with you why? way: journey wicked to prosper to prosper all to act treacherously treachery
Wewe ni mwenye haki, Bwana, wakati wowote ninapoleta mashitaka kwako. Lazima nikuambie sababu yangu ya kulalamika: Kwa nini njia za waovu hufanikiwa? Watu wote wasiokuwa na imani wanafanikiwa.
2 to plant them also to uproot to go: continue also to make fruit near you(m. s.) in/on/with lip their and distant from kidney their
Wewe uliwapanda nao wakawa na mizizi. Wanaendelea kuzaa matunda. Wewe upo karibu nao katika vinywa vyao, lakini mbali na mioyo yao.
3 and you(m. s.) LORD to know me to see: see me and to test heart my with you to tear them like/as flock to/for slaughtered and to consecrate: prepare them to/for day slaughter
Lakini wewe mwenyewe unanijua, Bwana. Umeona mimi na kuchunguza moyo wangu. Waondoe kama kondoo wa kuchinjwa. Ukakaweke tayari kwa siku ya kuchinjwa.
4 till how to mourn [the] land: country/planet and vegetation all [the] land: country to wither from distress: evil to dwell in/on/with her to snatch animal and bird for to say not to see: see [obj] end our
Je! Nchi itakauka kwa muda gani, na mimea katika kila shamba itaota kwa sababu ya uovu wa wenyeji wake? Wanyama na ndege wameondolewa. Hakika, watu wanasema, “Mungu hajui nini kitatokea kwetu.”
5 for with on foot to run: run and be weary you and how? to contend with [the] horse and in/on/with land: country/planet peace: well-being you(m. s.) to trust and how? to make: do in/on/with pride [the] Jordan
Bwana akasema, “Kweli, wewe, Yeremia, umetembea na askari wa miguu na wamechoka, unawezaje kushindana dhidi ya farasi? Ikiwa unashuka chini ya nchi iliyo salama, utafanyaje katika misitu karibu na Yordani?
6 for also brother: male-sibling your and house: household father your also they(masc.) to act treacherously in/on/with you also they(masc.) to call: call out after you full not be faithful in/on/with them for to speak: speak to(wards) you welfare
Kwa maana hata ndugu zako na familia ya baba yako wamekudharau na kukukemea kwa sauti kubwa. Usiwaamini, hata kama wanasema mambo mazuri kwako.
7 to leave: forsake [obj] house: temple my to leave [obj] inheritance my to give: give [obj] beloved soul my in/on/with palm enemy her
Nimeiacha nyumba yangu; Nimeacha urithi wangu. Nimewatia watu wangu wapendwa mikononi mwa adui zake.
8 to be to/for me inheritance my like/as lion in/on/with wood to give: cry out upon me in/on/with voice her upon so to hate her
Urithi wangu umekuwa kwangu kama simba katika tundu; yeye hujiweka juu yangu kwa sauti yake mwenyewe, hivyo nimemchukia.
9 bird of prey variegated inheritance my to/for me bird of prey around upon her to go: went to gather all living thing [the] land: wildlife to come to/for food
Malipo yangu ya thamani ni fisi, na ndege wenye madoadoa karibu na kichwa chake. Nenda, ukakusanye viumbe vyote vilivyomo katika mashamba, na uwalete ili wale.
10 to pasture many to ruin vineyard my to trample [obj] portion my to give: make [obj] portion desire my to/for wilderness devastation
Wachungaji wengi wameharibu shamba langu la mizabibu. Wameipoteza sehemu yangu yote ya ardhi; Waligeuza sehemu yangu nzuri kuwa jangwa, ukiwa.
11 to set: make her to/for devastated to mourn upon me devastation be desolate: destroyed all [the] land: country/planet for nothing man: anyone to set: put upon heart
Wamemfanya kuwa ukiwa. Ninaomboleza kwa ajili yake; yeye ni ukiwa. Nchi yote imefanywa kuwa ukiwa, kwa maana hakuna mtu aliyeweka haya moyoni mwake.
12 upon all bareness in/on/with wilderness to come (in): come to ruin for sword to/for LORD to eat from end land: country/planet and till end [the] land: country/planet nothing peace to/for all flesh
Waangamizi wamekuja juu ya maeneo yote yaliyo wazi jangwani, kwa maana upanga wa Bwana unakula kutoka upande mmoja wa nchi hadi mwingine. Hakuna usalama katika nchi kwa kiumbe chochote kilicho hai.
13 to sow wheat and thorn to reap be weak: weak not to gain and be ashamed from produce your from burning anger face: anger LORD
Walipanda ngano lakini mavuno ya miiba. Wao wamechoka kutokana na kazi lakini hawajapata chochote. Basi muaibike kwa faida yenu kwa sababu ya ghadhabu ya Bwana.”
14 thus to say LORD upon all neighboring my [the] bad: evil [the] to touch in/on/with inheritance which to inherit [obj] people my [obj] Israel look! I to uproot them from upon land: soil their and [obj] house: household Judah to uproot from midst their
Bwana asema hivi dhidi ya majirani zangu wote, waovu wanaopiga milki niliyowarithisha watu wangu Israeli, “Tazama, mimi ndimi ambaye nitawafukuza kutoka nchi yao wenyewe, nami nitaifuta nyumba ya Yuda kutoka kati yao.
15 and to be after to uproot I [obj] them to return: again and to have compassion them and to return: again them man: anyone to/for inheritance his and man: anyone to/for land: country/planet his
Ndipo baada ya kuangamiza mataifa hayo, itatokea kwamba nitakuwa na huruma juu yao na kuwaleta tena; Nitawarudi-kila mtu kwa urithi wake na nchi yake.
16 and to be if to learn: learn to learn: teach [obj] way: conduct people my to/for to swear in/on/with name my alive LORD like/as as which to learn: learn [obj] people my to/for to swear in/on/with Baal and to build in/on/with midst people my
Kisha itakuwa ikiwa mataifa hayo yatajifunza kwa makini njia za watu wangu, kuapa kwa jina langu 'Kama Bwana anaishivyo!' vile vile kama walivyowafundishwa watu wangu kuapa kwa Baali, basi watajengwa katikati ya watu wangu.
17 and if not to hear: hear and to uproot [obj] [the] nation [the] he/she/it to uproot and to perish utterance LORD
Lakini kama hakuna yeyote anayesikiliza, basi nitaling'oa taifa hilo. Kwa hakika litang'olewa na kuharibiwa-hili ndilo tamko la Bwana.”
