Jeremiah 25
1 The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah (this was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon),
Ekigambo ekikwata ku bantu bonna aba Yuda ne kijjira Yeremiya mu mwaka ogwokuna ogw’obufuzi bwa Yekoyakimu mutabani wa Yosiya kabaka wa Yuda, ogwali omwaka ogusooka ogw’obufuzi bwa kabaka Nebukadduneeza mu bwakabaka bwa Babulooni.
2 which Jeremiah the prophet spoke to all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem:
Awo Yeremiya nnabbi n’agamba abantu bonna aba Yuda n’abantu bonna abaali mu Yerusaalemi nti,
3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, even to this day, these twenty-three years, Yahweh’s word has come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking; but you have not listened.
Okuva mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi n’esatu ogw’obufuzi bwa Yosiya mutabani wa Amoni kabaka wa Yuda, gy’emyaka amakumi abiri mu esatu okutuusa leero, ekigambo kya Mukama kizze gye ndi era njogedde gye muli emirundi mingi, naye temufuddeeyo.
4 Yahweh has sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them (but you have not listened or inclined your ear to hear),
Newaakubadde nga Mukama abaweerezza bannabbi be emirundi mingi, temuwulirizza wadde okufaayo.
5 saying, “Return now everyone from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that Yahweh has given to you and to your fathers, from of old and even forever more.
Babagamba nti, “Mukyuke kaakano, buli omu ku mmwe okuva mu bikolwa bye ebibi, mulyoke musigale mu nsi Mukama gye yabawa mmwe ne bakitammwe emirembe gyonna.
6 Don’t go after other gods to serve them or worship them, and don’t provoke me to anger with the work of your hands; then I will do you no harm.”
Temugoberera bakatonda balala, temubaweereza wadde okubasinza; temunsunguwaza olw’ekyo emikono gyammwe kye gyakola, nneme okubakolako obulabe.”
7 “Yet you have not listened to me,” says Yahweh, “that you may provoke me to anger with the work of your hands to your own hurt.”
“Naye temwampuliriza, mwansunguwaza n’ekyo kye mwakola n’emikono gyammwe, era ne mwereetera akabi,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
8 Therefore Yahweh of Armies says: “Because you have not heard my words,
Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye nti, “Kubanga temuwulirizza bigambo byange,
9 behold, I will send and take all the families of the north,” says Yahweh, “and I will send to Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations around. I will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
nzija kukoowoola abantu bonna ab’omu bukiikakkono n’omuddu wange Nebukadduneeza, balumbe ensi eno n’abantu baamu era n’ensi zonna ezibeetoolodde. Nzija kuzizikiririza ddala nzifuule ekintu eky’entiisa era eky’okusekererwa, era zoonoonekere ddala.
10 Moreover I will take from them the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.
Ndibagobako eddoboozi ery’essanyu era n’okujaguza, eddoboozi ery’awasa omugole n’ery’omugole, eddoboozi ly’olubengo n’okwaka kw’ettaala.
11 This whole land will be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations will serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
Ensi eno yonna ejja kufuuka matongo, n’amawanga gano gajja kuweereza kabaka w’e Babulooni emyaka nsanvu.
12 “It will happen, when seventy years are accomplished, that I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation,” says Yahweh, “for their iniquity. I will make the land of the Chaldeans desolate forever.
“Naye emyaka ensanvu bwe giriggwako, ndibonereza kabaka w’e Babulooni n’eggwanga lye, ensi ya Babulooni olw’ekibi kyabwe, ngifuule matongo emirembe gyonna,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
13 I will bring on that land all my words which I have pronounced against it, even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
“Ndireeta ku nsi eno ebintu byonna bye njogeddeko, ebyo byonna ebiwandiikiddwa ku muzingo guno era ne Yeremiya byategeezezza amawanga gano gonna.
14 For many nations and great kings will make bondservants of them, even of them. I will recompense them according to their deeds, and according to the work of their hands.”
Bo bennyini balifuulibwa baddu ba mawanga mangi era baddu ba bakabaka ab’ekitiibwa; ndibasasula ng’ebikolwa byabwe bwe biri n’emirimu gy’emikono gyabwe bwe giri.”
15 For Yahweh, the God of Israel, says to me: “Take this cup of the wine of wrath from my hand, and cause all the nations to whom I send you to drink it.
Bw’ati Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri bwe yaŋŋamba nti, “Twala ekikopo kino, okuva mu mukono gwange, ekijjudde wayini ow’obusungu bwange, okinywese amawanga gonna gye nnaakutuma okukibanywesa.
16 They will drink, and reel back and forth, and be insane, because of the sword that I will send among them.”
Bwe banaakinywa, bajja kugwa eddalu batagale olw’ekitala kye nnaabasindikamu.”
17 Then I took the cup at Yahweh’s hand, and made all the nations to drink, to whom Yahweh had sent me:
Awo ne ntwala ekikopo okuva mu Mukono gwa Mukama ne nkitwala eri amawanga gonna gye yantuma okukibanywesa;
18 Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, with its kings and its princes, to make them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a curse, as it is today;
Yerusaalemi n’ebibuga bya Yuda, ne bakabaka baabyo n’abakungu basaanewo era bafuuke ekintu eky’entiisa n’okuzikirira, n’okusekererwa n’ekikolimo nga bwe bali kaakano.
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, with his servants, his princes, and all his people;
Falaawo, ye kabaka w’e Misiri, ne bakalabaalaba be, n’abakungu be n’abantu be bonna,
20 and all the mixed people, and all the kings of the land of Uz, all the kings of the Philistines, Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
n’abagwira bonna abaaliyo; bakabaka ba Uzi bonna, ne bakabaka b’Abafirisuuti bonna, abo ab’e Asukulooni, n’e Gaza, n’e Ekuloni, n’abantu abaalekebwa e Asudodi,
21 Edom, Moab, and the children of Ammon;
n’e Edomu, n’e Mowaabu n’e Ammoni,
22 and all the kings of Tyre, all the kings of Sidon, and the kings of the isle which is beyond the sea;
bakabaka bonna ab’e Tuulo ne Sidoni, bakabaka ab’oku lubalama ng’osomose ennyanja;
23 Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all who have the corners of their beard cut off;
Dedani, n’e Teema, n’e Buuzi n’abo bonna abali mu bifo eby’ewala,
24 and all the kings of Arabia, all the kings of the mixed people who dwell in the wilderness;
ne bakabaka bonna ab’e Buwalabu, ne bakabaka b’abannamawanga ababeera mu ddungu;
25 and all the kings of Zimri, all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;
ne bakabaka bonna ab’e Zimuli, n’e Eramu n’e Meedi;
26 and all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world, which are on the surface of the earth. The king of Sheshach will drink after them.
n’abo bonna bakabaka ab’omu bukiikakkono, abeewala, n’ab’okumpi, omu ku omu, obwakabaka bwonna obuli ku nsi. Oluvannyuma lwabo kabaka w’e Sesaki naye balikinywa.
27 “You shall tell them, ‘Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says: “Drink, and be drunk, vomit, fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.”’
“Era onoobagamba nti, ‘Bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, Munywe mutamiire, museseme, mugwe muleme kuddayo kusituka olw’ekitala ekyo kye ŋŋenda okusindika mu mmwe.’
28 It shall be, if they refuse to take the cup at your hand to drink, then you shall tell them, ‘Yahweh of Armies says: “You shall surely drink.
Naye bwe bagaana okuggya ekikopo mu mukono gwo okukinywa, bagambe nti, ‘Kino Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye ky’agamba nti, Muteekwa okukinywa!
29 For, behold, I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name; and should you be utterly unpunished? You will not be unpunished; for I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth, says Yahweh of Armies.”’
Laba, ntandika okuzikiriza ekibuga ekiyitibwa Erinnya lyange, ddala munaagenda nga temubonerezeddwa? Mujja kubonerezebwa kubanga nkoowoola ekitala kikke ku abo bonna abali ku nsi, bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye.’
30 “Therefore prophesy against them all these words, and tell them, “‘Yahweh will roar from on high, and utter his voice from his holy habitation. He will mightily roar against his fold. He will give a shout, as those who tread grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.
“Kaakano bategeeze ebigambo bino byonna obagambe nti, “‘Mukama Katonda anaayogerera waggulu, era anaayimusa eddoboozi lye okuva mu kifo kye ekitukuvu awulugume n’amaanyi mangi nnyo ng’awakanya bonna abali mu nsi. Ajja kuleekaana ng’abasogozi abasamba emizabbibu, ng’aleekaanira abo abali ku nsi.
31 A noise will come even to the end of the earth; for Yahweh has a controversy with the nations. He will enter into judgment with all flesh. As for the wicked, he will give them to the sword,”’ says Yahweh.”
Eddoboozi lye liriwulirwa n’ensi gy’ekoma. Kubanga Mukama alisalira amawanga emisango gy’abavunaana, alisalira abantu bonna omusango, atte ababi n’ekitala,’” bw’ayogera Mukama.
32 Yahweh of Armies says, “Behold, evil will go out from nation to nation, and a great storm will be raised up from the uttermost parts of the earth.”
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye nti, “Laba okuzikirira kugenda kusaasaana kuva nsi ku nsi; enkuba ey’amaanyi ejja kuva ku nkomerero y’ensi.”
33 The slain of Yahweh will be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth. They won’t be lamented. They won’t be gathered or buried. They will be dung on the surface of the ground.
Mu kiseera ekyo abo abattiddwa Mukama bajja kubeera buli wamu okuva ku nsonda emu ey’ensi okutuuka ku ndala. Tebajja kukungubagirwa wadde okukuŋŋaanyizibwa oba okuziikibwa, naye banaaba ng’obusa obulekeddwa ku ttaka.
34 Wail, you shepherds, and cry. Wallow in dust, you leader of the flock; for the days of your slaughter and of your dispersions have fully come, and you will fall like fine pottery.
Mukaabe mulaajane mmwe abasumba, mwevulunge mu ttaka, mmwe abakulu b’ebisibo. Kubanga obudde bwammwe obw’okuttibwa butuuse mujja kugwa mubetentebwe ng’ebibya eby’ebbumba.
35 The shepherds will have no way to flee. The leader of the flock will have no escape.
Abasumba tebaabeeko na buddukiro, n’abakulu b’ebisibo tebaabeeko na wa kwekweka.
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and the wailing of the leader of the flock, for Yahweh destroys their pasture.
Muwulire okukaaba kw’abasumba, okwaziirana kw’abanannyini b’ebisibo, kubanga Mukama alizikiriza amalundiro gaabwe.
37 The peaceful folds are brought to silence because of the fierce anger of Yahweh.
Amalundiro amalungi galifuuka matongo olw’obusungu bwa Mukama obubuubuuka.
38 He has left his covert, as the lion; for their land has become an astonishment because of the fierceness of the oppression, and because of his fierce anger.
Ajja kuleka ekisulo kye ng’empologoma bw’eva w’esula, n’ensi yaabwe ejja kusigala njereere olw’ekitala ky’omulumbaganyi era n’olw’obusungu bwa Mukama obw’entiisa.
