Jeremiah 29
1 and these word [the] scroll: document which to send: depart Jeremiah [the] prophet from Jerusalem to(wards) remainder old: elder [the] captivity and to(wards) [the] priest and to(wards) [the] prophet and to(wards) all [the] people which to reveal: remove Nebuchadnezzar from Jerusalem Babylon [to]
Haya ndiyo maneno ya ile barua ambayo nabii Yeremia aliituma kutoka Yerusalemu kwenda kwa wazee waliobaki miongoni mwa wale waliohamishwa, na kwa makuhani, manabii na watu wengine wote ambao Nebukadneza alikuwa amewachukua kwenda uhamishoni Babeli kutoka Yerusalemu.
2 after to come out: come Jeconiah [the] king and [the] queen and [the] eunuch ruler Judah and Jerusalem and [the] artificer and [the] locksmith from Jerusalem
(Hii ilikuwa ni baada ya Mfalme Yekonia na malkia mamaye, maafisa wa mahakama, viongozi wa Yuda na wa Yerusalemu, mafundi na wahunzi kwenda uhamishoni kutoka Yerusalemu.)
3 in/on/with hand Elasah son: child Shaphan and Gemariah son: child Hilkiah which to send: depart Zedekiah king Judah to(wards) Nebuchadnezzar king Babylon Babylon [to] to/for to say
Barua ilikabidhiwa kwa Elasa mwana wa Shafani, na kwa Gemaria mwana wa Hilkia, ambao Sedekia mfalme wa Yuda aliwatuma kwa Mfalme Nebukadneza huko Babeli. Barua yenyewe ilisema:
4 thus to say LORD Hosts God Israel to/for all [the] captivity which to reveal: remove from Jerusalem Babylon [to]
Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, Mungu wa Israeli, awaambialo wale wote niliowapeleka kutoka Yerusalemu kwenda uhamishoni Babeli:
5 to build house: home and to dwell and to plant garden and to eat [obj] fruit their
“Jengeni nyumba na mstarehe, pandeni bustani na mle mazao yake.
6 to take: take woman: wife and to beget son: child and daughter and to take: take to/for son: child your woman: wife and [obj] daughter your to give: give(marriage) to/for human and to beget son: child and daughter and to multiply there and not to diminish
Oeni wake na mzae wana na binti, waozeni wana wenu wake, nanyi watoeni binti zenu waolewe, ili nao pia wazae wana na binti. Ongezekeni idadi yenu huko, wala msipungue.
7 and to seek [obj] peace: well-being [the] city which to reveal: remove [obj] you there [to] and to pray about/through/for her to(wards) LORD for in/on/with peace: well-being her to be to/for you peace: well-being
Pia tafuteni amani na mafanikio ya mji ambamo nimewapeleka uhamishoni. Mwombeni Bwana kwa ajili ya mji huo, kwa sababu ukistawi, ninyi pia mtastawi.”
8 for thus to say LORD Hosts God Israel not to deceive to/for you prophet your which in/on/with entrails: among your and to divine your and not to hear: hear to(wards) dream your which you(m. p.) to dream
Naam, hili ndilo Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, Mungu wa Israeli, asemalo: “Msikubali manabii na wabashiri walioko miongoni mwenu wawadanganye. Msisikilize ndoto ambazo mmewatia moyo kuota.
9 for in/on/with deception they(masc.) to prophesy to/for you in/on/with name my not to send: depart them utterance LORD
Wanawatabiria ninyi uongo kwa jina langu. Sikuwatuma,” asema Bwana.
10 for thus to say LORD for to/for lip to fill to/for Babylon seventy year to reckon: visit [obj] you and to arise: establish upon you [obj] word: promised my [the] pleasant to/for to return: return [obj] you to(wards) [the] place [the] this
Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: “Miaka sabini itakapotimia kwa ajili ya Babeli, nitakuja kwenu na kutimiza ahadi yangu ya rehema ya kuwarudisha mahali hapa.
11 for I to know [obj] [the] plot which I to devise: devise upon you utterance LORD plot peace: well-being and not to/for distress: evil to/for to give: give to/for you end and hope
Kwa maana ninajua mipango niliyo nayo kwa ajili yenu,” asema Bwana, “ni mipango ya kuwafanikisha na wala si ya kuwadhuru, ni mipango ya kuwapa tumaini katika siku zijazo.
12 and to call: call to [obj] me and to go: come and to pray to(wards) me and to hear: hear to(wards) you
Kisha mtaniita, na mtakuja na kuniomba, nami nitawasikiliza.
13 and to seek [obj] me and to find for to seek me in/on/with all heart your
Mtanitafuta na kuniona, mtakaponitafuta kwa moyo wenu wote.
14 and to find to/for you utterance LORD and to return: rescue [obj] (captivity your *Q(k)*) and to gather [obj] you from all [the] nation and from all [the] place which to banish [obj] you there utterance LORD and to return: return [obj] you to(wards) [the] place which to reveal: remove [obj] you from there
Nitaonekana kwenu,” asema Bwana, “nami nitawarudisha watu wenu waliotekwa. Nitawakusanya kutoka mataifa yote na mahali pote nilipokuwa nimewafukuzia, nami nitawarudisha mahali ambapo nilikuwa nimewatoa walipochukuliwa uhamishoni,” asema Bwana.
15 for to say to arise: rise to/for us LORD prophet Babylon [to]
Mnaweza mkasema, “Bwana ameinua manabii kwa ajili yetu huku Babeli,”
16 for thus to say LORD to(wards) [the] king [the] to dwell to(wards) throne David and to(wards) all [the] people [the] to dwell in/on/with city [the] this brother: male-relative your which not to come out: come with you in/on/with captivity
lakini hili ndilo asemalo Bwana kuhusu mfalme aketiaye kiti cha enzi cha Daudi, na watu wa kwenu wote wanaobaki katika mji huu, ndugu zenu ambao hawakwenda pamoja nanyi uhamishoni.
17 thus to say LORD Hosts look! I to send: depart in/on/with them [obj] [the] sword [obj] [the] famine and [obj] [the] pestilence and to give: make [obj] them like/as fig [the] disgusting which not to eat from evil
Naam, hili ndilo asemalo Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote: “Nitatuma upanga, njaa na tauni dhidi yao, nami nitawafanya kuwa kama tini dhaifu zile ambazo ni mbovu sana zisizofaa kuliwa.
18 and to pursue after them in/on/with sword in/on/with famine and in/on/with pestilence and to give: make them (to/for horror *Q(K)*) to/for all kingdom [the] land: country/planet to/for oath and to/for horror: appalled and to/for hissing and to/for reproach in/on/with all [the] nation which to banish them there
Nitawafukuza kwa upanga, kwa njaa na kwa tauni, nami nitawafanya kitu cha kuchukiza sana kwa falme zote za dunia, na kuwa kitu cha laana na cha kuogofya, cha dharau na kukemewa, miongoni mwa mataifa yote nitakakowafukuzia.
19 underneath: because of which not to hear: hear to(wards) word my utterance LORD which to send: depart to(wards) them [obj] servant/slave my [the] prophet to rise and to send: depart and not to hear: hear utterance LORD
Kwa kuwa hawakuyasikiliza maneno yangu,” asema Bwana, “maneno ambayo niliwatumia tena na tena kupitia watumishi wangu manabii. Wala ninyi watu wa uhamisho hamkusikiliza pia,” asema Bwana.
20 and you(m. p.) to hear: hear word LORD all [the] captivity which to send: depart from Jerusalem Babylon [to]
Kwa hiyo, sikieni neno la Bwana, enyi nyote mlio uhamishoni, niliowapeleka Babeli kutoka Yerusalemu.
21 thus to say LORD Hosts God Israel to(wards) Ahab son: child Kolaiah and to(wards) Zedekiah son: child Maaseiah [the] to prophesy to/for you in/on/with name my deception look! I to give: give [obj] them in/on/with hand: power Nebuchadnezzar king Babylon and to smite them to/for eye your
Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, Mungu wa Israeli, asemalo kuhusu Ahabu mwana wa Kolaya, na Sedekia mwana wa Maaseya, wanaowatabiria uongo kwa jina langu: “Nitawatia mikononi mwa Nebukadneza mfalme wa Babeli, naye atawaua mbele ya macho yenu hasa.
22 and to take: bring from them curse to/for all captivity Judah which in/on/with Babylon to/for to say to set: make you LORD like/as Zedekiah and like/as Ahab which to roast them king Babylon in/on/with fire
Kwa ajili yao, watu wote wa uhamisho kutoka Yuda walioko Babeli watatumia laana hii: ‘Bwana na akutendee kama Sedekia na Ahabu, ambao mfalme wa Babeli aliwachoma kwa moto.’
23 because which to make folly in/on/with Israel and to commit adultery [obj] woman: wife neighbor their and to speak: speak word in/on/with name my deception which not to command them and I ([the] to know *Q(K)*) and witness utterance LORD
Kwa kuwa wamefanya mambo maovu kabisa katika Israeli, wamezini na wake za majirani zao, tena kwa Jina langu wamesema uongo, mambo ambayo sikuwaambia kuyafanya. Nami nayajua haya, na ni shahidi wa jambo hilo,” asema Bwana.
24 and to(wards) Shemaiah [the] Nehelam to say to/for to say
Mwambie Shemaya Mnehelami,
25 thus to say LORD Hosts God Israel to/for to say because which you(m. s.) to send: depart in/on/with name your scroll: document to(wards) all [the] people which in/on/with Jerusalem and to(wards) Zephaniah son: child Maaseiah [the] priest and to(wards) all [the] priest to/for to say
“Hili ndilo Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, Mungu wa Israeli, asemalo: Ulituma barua kwa jina lako mwenyewe kwa watu wote wa Yerusalemu, kwa Sefania mwana wa kuhani Maaseya na kwa makuhani wengine wote. Ulimwambia Sefania,
26 LORD to give: make you priest underneath: instead Jehoiada [the] priest to/for to be overseer house: temple LORD to/for all man be mad and to prophesy and to give: put [obj] him to(wards) [the] stocks and to(wards) [the] stocks
‘Bwana amekuweka wewe uwe kuhani badala ya Yehoyada ili uwe msimamizi wa nyumba ya Bwana. Unapaswa kufunga kwa mikatale na mnyororo wa shingoni mwendawazimu yeyote anayejifanya nabii.
27 and now to/for what? not to rebuke in/on/with Jeremiah [the] Anathoth [the] to prophesy to/for you
Kwa nini basi hukumkemea Yeremia Mwanathothi, aliyejifanya kama nabii miongoni mwenu?
28 for as that: since as as to send: depart to(wards) us Babylon to/for to say long he/she/it to build house: home and to dwell and to plant garden and to eat [obj] fruit their
Ametutumia ujumbe huu huku Babeli: Mtakuwako huko muda mrefu. Kwa hiyo jengeni nyumba mkakae; pandeni mashamba na mle mazao yake.’”
29 and to call: read out Zephaniah [the] priest [obj] [the] scroll: document [the] this in/on/with ear: hearing Jeremiah [the] prophet
Kuhani Sefania, hata hivyo, akamsomea nabii Yeremia ile barua.
30 and to be word LORD to(wards) Jeremiah to/for to say
Ndipo neno la Bwana likamjia Yeremia kusema:
31 to send: depart upon all [the] captivity to/for to say thus to say LORD to(wards) Shemaiah [the] Nehelam because which to prophesy to/for you Shemaiah and I not to send: depart him and to trust [obj] you upon deception
“Tuma ujumbe huu kwa watu wote walio uhamishoni: ‘Hili ndilo Bwana asemalo kuhusu Shemaya Mnehelami: Kwa sababu Shemaya amewatabiria ninyi, hata ingawa sikumtuma, naye amewafanya kuamini uongo,
32 to/for so thus to say LORD look! I to reckon: punish upon Shemaiah [the] Nehelam and upon seed: children his not to be to/for him man: anyone to dwell in/on/with midst [the] people [the] this and not to see: see in/on/with good which I to make: do to/for people my utterance LORD for revolt to speak: speak upon LORD
hili ndilo Bwana asemalo: Hakika nitamwadhibu Shemaya Mnehelami pamoja na uzao wake. Hapatakuwa na yeyote atakayebaki miongoni mwa watu hawa, wala hataona mema nitakayowatendea watu wangu, asema Bwana, kwa sababu ametangaza uasi dhidi yangu.’”
