< Jeremiah 43 >

1 And it came to pass, [that] when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking to all the people all the words of the LORD their God, for which the LORD their God had sent him to them, [even] all these words.
Yeremiya bwe yamala okutegeeza abantu ebigambo byonna Mukama Katonda waabwe bye yamutuma okubagamba,
2 Then spoke Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying to Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the LORD our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there:
Azaliya mutabani wa Kosaaya ne Yokanaani mutabani wa Kaleya n’abasajja bonna ab’amalala ne bagamba Yeremiya nti, “Olimba! Mukama Katonda wo takutumye kugamba nti, ‘Temugenda Misiri kusenga eyo.’
3 But Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they may put us to death, and carry us away captives into Babylon.
Naye Baluki mutabani wa Neriya y’akusendasenda otugabule mu mukono gw’Abakaludaaya, batutte oba batutwale mu buwaŋŋanguse e Babulooni.”
4 So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the LORD, to dwell in the land of Judah.
Awo Yokanaani mutabani wa Kaleya n’abaduumizi ba magye bonna n’abantu bonna ne bajeemera ekiragiro kya Mukama eky’okusigala mu nsi ya Yuda.
5 But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that had returned from all nations, whither they had been driven, to dwell in the land of Judah;
Yokanaani mutabani wa Kaleya n’abaduumizi ba magye ga Yuda bonna ne bakulembera abantu ba Yuda abaali basigaddewo nga bakomyewo okuva mu mawanga gonna gye baali baddukidde okubeera mu nsi ya Yuda.
6 [Even] men, and women, and children, and the king's daughters, and every person that Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah.
Ne batwala n’abasajja bonna, n’abakazi n’abaana n’abawala ba kabaka, Nebuzaladaani omuduumizi w’eggye lya kabaka w’e Babulooni be yali alekedde Gedaliya mutabani wa Akikamu, mutabani wa Safani, ne nnabbi Yeremiya ne Baluki mutabani wa Neriya.
7 So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: thus they came [even] to Tahpanhes.
Awo ne bayingira e Misiri nga bajeemedde Mukama, ne bagenda okutuukira ddala e Tapaneese.
8 Then came the word of the LORD to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
Bwe baba bali e Tapaneese, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yeremiya nti,
9 Take great stones in thy hand, and hide them in the clay in the brick-kiln, which [is] at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;
“Twala amayinja amanene ogaziike mu bbumba mu lubalaza olw’amatoffaali ku mulyango gw’olubiri lwa Falaawo e Tapaneese, ng’Abayudaaya bonna balaba.
10 And say to them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.
Obagambe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, Nditumya omuddu wange Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni, era nditeeka entebe ye ey’obwakabaka ku mayinja gano ge nziise wano. Ku go kwalikuba eweema ye ey’obwakabaka.
11 And when he cometh, he shall smite the land of Egypt, [and deliver] such [as are] for death to death; and such [as are] for captivity to captivity; and such [as are] for the sword to the sword.
Alijja n’alumba Misiri, atte abo ab’okufa, awambe n’abo ab’okuwambibwa, n’ab’okuttibwa n’ekitala battibwe n’ekitala.
12 And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captives: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from thence in peace.
Alikoleeza omuliro ku masabo ga bakatonda b’e Misiri, n’abatwala mu busibe nga alese amasabo gaabwe agookezza. Ng’omulunzi w’endiga bwe yeezingirira ekyambalo kye, bw’atyo bw’alyezingirira ensi y’e Misiri n’avaayo nga tewali kabi konna kamutuuseeko.
13 He shall break also the images of Beth-shemesh, that [is] in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire.
Alimenyamenya empagi ezaawongebwa mu ssabo ly’enjuba mu Misiri, n’ayokya n’amasabo ga bakatonda b’e Misiri.’”
