Jeremiah 27
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, came this word to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Ku ntandikwa y’obufuuzi bwa Zeddekiya mutabani wa Yosiya kabaka wa Yuda, ekigambo kino kyajjira Yeremiya okuva eri Mukama:
2 Thus saith the LORD to me; Make for thee bonds and yokes, and put them upon thy neck,
Bw’ati Mukama bwe yaŋŋamba nti: “Weekolere ekikoligo okiteeke ku nsingo yo,
3 And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammonites, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah;
oweereze ekigambo eri bakabaka ba Edomu, ne Mowaabu, ne Ammoni, ne Tuulo ne Sidoni, ng’otuma ababaka abazze mu Yerusaalemi eri Zeddekiya kabaka wa Yuda.
4 And command them to say to their masters, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to your masters;
Tumira bakama baabwe obagambe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, “Kino mukitegeeze bakama bammwe.
5 I have made the earth, the man and the beast that [are] upon the ground, by my great power and by my out-stretched arm, and have given it to whom it seemed meet to me.
N’amaanyi gange amangi n’omukono ogugoloddwa natonda ensi n’abantu baamu n’ensolo ezigiriko, era ngiwa omuntu yenna gwe njagala.
6 And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him.
Kaakano ŋŋenda kuwaayo amawanga gammwe eri omuddu wange Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni, n’ensolo ez’omu nsiko nzija kuziteeka wansi we.
7 And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the very time of his land shall come: and then many nations and great kings shall bring him into subjection.
Amawanga gonna galimuweereza ne mutabani we ne muzzukulu we okutuusa ekiseera eky’ensi ye okusalirwa omusango lwe kirituuka; olwo amawanga mangi ne bakabaka bangi ab’amaanyi balimuwangula.
8 And it shall come to pass, [that] the nation and kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I punish, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
“‘“Naye singa eggwanga lyonna oba obwakabaka bwonna tebuliweereza Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni oba okuteeka ensingo wansi w’ekikoligo ky’abwo, nzija kubonereza ensi eyo n’ekitala, n’ekyeya, ne kawumpuli, bw’ayogera Mukama, okutuusa lwe ndigizikiriza n’omukono gwange.
9 Therefore hearken ye not to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon:
Noolwekyo bannabbi bammwe, n’abalaguzi, n’abavvuunuzi b’ebirooto, temubawuliriza wadde abalogo wadde abafumu ababagamba nti, ‘Temulibeera baddu ba kabaka w’e Babulooni.’
10 For they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out, and ye should perish.
Baabawa bunnabbi bwa bulimba obunaabaleetera okutwalibwa ewala okuva mu mawanga gammwe. Ndibagobera wala era mulizikirira.
11 But the nations that bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, those will I let remain still in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell in it.
Naye singa eggwanga lirikutamya ensingo yaalyo wansi w’ekikoligo kya kabaka w’e Babulooni limuweereze, nzija kuleka eggwanga eryo lisigale mu nsi yaalyo, okugirima, n’okugibeeramu, bw’ayogera Mukama.”’”
12 I spoke also to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
Nategeeza obubaka bwe bumu eri Zeddekiya kabaka wa Yuda nga ŋŋamba nti, “Kutamya ensingo yo wansi w’ekikoligo kya kabaka w’e Babulooni, beera omuddu we n’abantu be, onoobeera mulamu.
13 Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
Lwaki ggwe n’abantu bo mufa ekitala, n’ekyeya ne kawumpuli Mukama by’agambye okutuuka ku nsi yonna eteefuuke muddu wa kabaka w’e Babulooni?
14 Therefore hearken not to the words of the prophets that speak to you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon; for they prophesy a lie to you.
Towuliriza bigambo bya bannabbi abakugamba nti, ‘Tolibeera muddu wa kabaka w’e Babulooni,’ kubanga bakutegeeza bya bulimba.
15 For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy to you.
‘Sibatumanga,’ bw’ayogera Mukama. ‘Bawa obunnabbi bwa bulimba mu linnya lyange. Noolwekyo, nzija kubagobera wala muzikirire, mmwe ne bannabbi ababategeeza obunnabbi.’”
16 Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, Thus saith the LORD; Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the LORD'S house shall now shortly be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie to you.
Olwo ne ŋŋamba bakabona n’abantu bano bonna nti, “Kino Mukama ky’agamba nti, Temuwuliriza bannabbi abagamba nti, ‘Amangu ddala ebintu by’omu nnyumba ya Mukama bijja kukomezebwawo okuva mu Babulooni.’ Bababuulira bunnabbi bwa bulimba.
17 Hearken not to them; serve the king of Babylon, and live: why should this city be laid waste?
Temubawuliriza. Muweereze kabaka w’e Babulooni, mubeere balamu. Lwaki ekibuga kino kifuuka amatongo?
18 But if they [are] prophets, and if the word of the LORD is with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and [in] the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.
Bwe baba bannabbi nga balina ekigambo kya Mukama, leka bakaabirire Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye nti ebintu eby’omuwendo ebikyasigadde mu nnyumba ya Mukama ne mu lubiri lwa kabaka wa Yuda ne mu Yerusaalemi bireme kutwalibwa Babulooni.
19 For thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city,
Kubanga bw’ati Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye bw’ayogera ku mpagi, n’Ennyanja, okuteekebwa ebintu, n’ebintu ebirala ebisigadde mu kibuga kino,
20 Which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;
kabaka Nebukadduneeza ow’e Babulooni by’ataatwala lwe yatwala Yekoyakini mutabani wa Yekoyakimu kabaka wa Yuda n’abakungu bonna aba Yuda ne Yerusaalemi.
21 Yes, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain [in] the house of the LORD, and [in] the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem;
Bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri ku bikwata ku bibya ebyasigala mu nnyumba ya Mukama ne mu lubiri olwa kabaka wa Yuda ne mu Yerusaalemi nti,
22 They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be until the day that I visit them, saith the LORD; then will I bring them up, and restore them to this place.
‘Biritwalibwa mu Babulooni eyo gye birisigala okutuusa ku lunaku lwe ndibikima, olwo ndibikomyawo mbizze mu kifo kino,’” bw’ayogera Mukama.
