“Kimbieni kwa usalama wenu, enyi watu wa Benyamini! Kimbieni kutoka Yerusalemu! Pigeni tarumbeta katika Tekoa! Inueni ishara juu ya Beth-Hakeremu! Kwa kuwa maafa yanaonekana yakitoka kaskazini, na uharibifu wa kutisha.

Nitamwangamiza Binti Sayuni, aliye mzuri sana na mwororo.

Wachungaji pamoja na makundi yao watakuja dhidi yake; watapiga mahema yao kumzunguka, kila mmoja akichunga kundi lake mwenyewe.”

Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote: “Kateni miti mjenge boma kuzunguka Yerusalemu. Mji huu ni lazima uadhibiwe, umejazwa na uonevu.
7 like/as to cool (well *Q(K)*) water her so to cool distress: evil her violence and violence to hear: hear in/on/with her upon face my continually sickness and wound
Kama vile kisima kinavyomwaga maji yake, ndivyo anavyomwaga uovu wake. Ukatili na maangamizi yasikika ndani yake, ugonjwa wake na majeraha yake viko mbele yangu daima.
8 to discipline Jerusalem lest to dislocate/hang soul: myself my from you lest to set: make you devastation land: country/planet not to dwell
Pokea onyo, ee Yerusalemu, la sivyo nitageukia mbali nawe na kuifanya nchi yako kuwa ukiwa, asiweze mtu kuishi ndani yake.”
9 thus to say LORD Hosts to glean to glean like/as vine remnant Israel to return: again hand your like/as to gather/restrain/fortify upon branch
Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote: “Wao na wayakusanye mabaki ya Israeli kwa uangalifu kama kwenye mzabibu; pitisha mkono wako kwenye matawi tena, kama yeye avunaye zabibu.”
10 upon who? to speak: speak and to testify and to hear: hear behold uncircumcised ear their and not be able to/for to listen behold word LORD to be to/for them to/for reproach not to delight in in/on/with him
Niseme na nani na kumpa onyo? Ni nani atakayenisikiliza mimi? Masikio yao yameziba, kwa hiyo hawawezi kusikia. Neno la Bwana ni chukizo kwao, hawalifurahii.
11 and with rage LORD to fill be weary to sustain to pour: pour upon infant in/on/with outside and upon counsel youth together for also man: husband with woman: wife to capture old with full day: old
Lakini nimejaa ghadhabu ya Bwana, nami siwezi kuizuia. “Wamwagie watoto walioko barabarani, na juu ya vijana waume waliokusanyika; mume na mke watakumbwa pamoja ndani yake, hata nao wazee waliolemewa na miaka.
12 and to turn: repell house: home their to/for another land: country and woman: wife together for to stretch [obj] hand my upon to dwell [the] land: country/planet utterance LORD
Nyumba zao zitapewa watu wengine, pamoja na mashamba yao na wake zao, nitakapounyoosha mkono wangu dhidi ya wale waishio katika nchi,” asema Bwana.
13 for from small their and till great: large their all his to cut off: to gain unjust-gain and from prophet and till priest all his to make: do deception
“Kuanzia aliye mdogo kabisa hadi aliye mkubwa kabisa, wote wana tamaa ya kupata faida zaidi; manabii na makuhani wanafanana, wote wanafanya udanganyifu.
14 and to heal [obj] breaking people my upon to lighten to/for to say peace peace and nothing peace
Wanafunga majeraha ya watu wangu bila uangalifu. Wanasema, ‘Amani, amani,’ wakati hakuna amani.
15 be ashamed for abomination to make also be ashamed not be ashamed also be humiliated not to know to/for so to fall: kill in/on/with to fall: kill in/on/with time to reckon: punish them to stumble to say LORD
Je, wanaona aibu kwa ajili ya tabia yao inayochukiza mno? Hapana, hawana aibu hata kidogo; hawajui hata kuona haya. Kwa hiyo wataanguka miongoni mwa hao walioanguka, watashushwa chini nitakapowaadhibu,” asema Bwana.
16 thus to say LORD to stand: stand upon way: road and to see: see and to ask to/for path forever: antiquity where? this way: road [the] pleasant and to go: walk in/on/with her and to find rest to/for soul your and to say not to go: walk
Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana: “Simama kwenye njia panda utazame, ulizia mapito ya zamani, ulizia wapi ilipo njia nzuri, uifuate hiyo, nanyi mtapata raha nafsini mwenu. Lakini ninyi mlisema, ‘Hatutaipita hiyo.’
17 and to arise: establish upon you to watch to listen to/for voice: sound trumpet and to say not to listen
Niliweka walinzi juu yenu na kusema, ‘Sikieni sauti ya tarumbeta!’ Lakini mkasema, ‘Hatutasikiliza.’

Sikia, ee nchi: Ninaleta maafa juu ya watu hawa, matunda ya mipango yao, kwa sababu hawakusikiliza maneno yangu na wameikataa sheria yangu.
20 to/for what? this to/for me frankincense from Sheba to come (in): come and branch: stem [the] pleasant from land: country/planet distance burnt offering your not to/for acceptance and sacrifice your not to please to/for me
Unanifaa nini uvumba kutoka Sheba, au udi wa harufu nzuri kutoka nchi ya mbali? Sadaka zako za kuteketezwa hazikubaliki, dhabihu zako hazinifurahishi mimi.”
21 to/for so thus to say LORD look! I to give: put to(wards) [the] people [the] this stumbling and to stumble in/on/with them father and son: child together neighboring and neighbor his (and to perish *Q(K)*)
Kwa hiyo hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana: “Nitaweka vikwazo mbele ya watu hawa. Baba na wana wao watajikwaa juu yake, majirani na marafiki wataangamia.”
22 thus to say LORD behold people to come (in): come from land: country/planet north and nation great: large to rouse from flank land: country/planet
Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana: “Tazama, jeshi linakuja kutoka nchi ya kaskazini, taifa kubwa linaamshwa kutoka miisho ya dunia.

Wamejifunga pinde na mkuki, ni wakatili na hawana huruma. Wanatoa sauti kama bahari inayonguruma wanapoendesha farasi zao. Wanakuja kama watu waliojipanga tayari kwa vita ili kukushambulia, ee Binti Sayuni.”
24 to hear: hear [obj] report his to slacken hand our distress to strengthen: hold us agony like/as to beget
Tumesikia taarifa zao, nayo mikono yetu imelegea. Uchungu umetushika, maumivu kama ya mwanamke katika utungu wa kuzaa.
25 not (to come out: come *Q(K)*) [the] land: country and in/on/with way: road not (to go: walk *Q(K)*) for sword to/for enemy terror from around: side
Usitoke kwenda mashambani au kutembea barabarani, kwa kuwa adui ana upanga, na kuna vitisho kila upande.

Enyi watu wangu, vaeni magunia mjivingirishe kwenye majivu, ombolezeni kwa kilio cha uchungu kama amliliaye mwana pekee, kwa maana ghafula mharabu atatujia.

“Nimekufanya wewe kuwa kitu cha kujaribu chuma, nao watu wangu kama mawe yenye madini, ili upate kuzijua na kuzijaribu njia zao.
28 all their to turn aside: turn aside to rebel to go: went slander bronze and iron all their to ruin they(masc.)
Wote ni waasi sugu, wakienda huku na huko kusengenya. Wao ni shaba na chuma, wote wanatenda upotovu.
29 to scorch bellow (from fire complete *Q(K)*) lead to/for vanity: vain to refine to refine and bad: evil not to tear
Mivuo inavuma kwa nguvu, kinachoungua kwa huo moto ni risasi, lakini pamoja na kusafisha kote huku ni bure; waovu hawaondolewi.
30 silver: money to reject to call: call to to/for them for to reject LORD in/on/with them
Wanaitwa fedha iliyokataliwa, kwa sababu Bwana amewakataa.”
