< Jeremiah 9 >
1 Who schal yyue watir to myn heed, and a welle of teeris to myn iyen? And Y schal biwepe dai and niyt the slayn men of the douyter of my puple.
Kama kichwa changu kingetoa maji, na macho yangu kuwa chemichemi ya machozi! kwa kuwa natamani kulia usiku na mchana kwa ajili yao waliokuwa binti za watu wangu ambao wameuawa.
2 Who schal yyue me in to a wildirnesse of dyuerse weigoeris? And I schal forsake my puple, and Y schal go awei fro hem. For whi alle ben auowteris, and the cumpenyes of trespassouris ayens the lawe;
Kama mtu anganipatia mahali pa wasafiri nyikani ili nikae, mahali ambapo ningeenda kuwatelekeza watu wangu. Kama ningewaacha, kwa kuwa wote ni wazinzi, kundi la wenye hiana!
3 and thei helden forth her tunge as a bouwe of leesyng, and not of treuthe Thei ben coumfortid in erthe, for thei yeden out fro yuel to yuel, and thei knewen not me, seith the Lord.
asema BWANA, “Huupinda ulimi wao kana kwamba ni upinde ili wapate kuongea uongo, lakini si kwa uamiinifu wao kwamba wanapata nguvu duniani. Wanatoka uovu mmoja hadi mwiingine. Hawanijui mimi.”
4 Ech man kepe hym fro his neiybore, and haue no trist in ony brother of hym; for whi ech brother disseyuyng schal disseyue, and ech frend schal go gilefuli.
Kila mmoja wenu, awe mlinzi wa jirani yake na usimwamini hata ndugu yako yeyote. kwa kuwa kila ndugu ni mwongo,
5 And a man schal scorne his brother, and schal not speke treuthe; for thei tauyten her tunge to speke leesyng; thei traueliden to do wickidli.
kila jirani anatembea akilaghai. Kila mwanamume anakejeli jirani yake na haongei ukweli. Ndimi zao hufundisha vitu vya uongo. Hujidhofisha ili kusema uongo.
6 Thi dwellyng is in the myddis of gile; in gile thei forsoken to knowe me, seith the Lord.
Makazi yenu yako kati ya udanganyifu; kwa uongo wao wanakataa kunitambua mimi. Asema BWANA.”
7 Therfor the Lord of oostis seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal welle togidere, and Y schal preue hem; for whi what other thing schal Y do fro the face of the douyter of my puple?
Kwa hiyo BWANA wa majeshi asema hivi, “Tazama, Niko tayari kuwajaribu. Nitawajaribu nione. Jinsi gani niwezavyo kufanya kwa binti za watu wangu?
8 The tunge of hem is an arowe woundynge, and spak gile; in his mouth he spekith pees with his frend, and priueli he settith tresouns to hym.
Ndimi zao ni mishale iliyochongoka; huongea vitu vya uasi. Kwa midomo yao wanatangaza amani pamoja na jirani zao, lakini katika mioyo yao wanadanganya wakati wa kusubri.
9 Whether Y schal not visite on these thingis, seith the Lord, ether schal not my soule take veniaunce on siche a folc?
Kwa nini nisiwaadhibu kwa sababu ya mambo haya - asema BWANA na kwa nini nisijilipizie kisasi kwa taifa ambalo liko kama hili?
10 On hillis Y schal take wepyng and mournyng, and weilyng on the faire thingis of desert, for tho ben brent; for no man is passynge forth, and thei herden not the vois of hym that weldith; fro a brid of the eir `til to scheep, tho passiden ouer, and yeden awei.
Nitaimba wimbo wa kuomboleza na kulia kwa ajili ya milima, na wimbo wa mazishi utaimbwa nyikani. Kwa kuwa wameteketezwa kwa hiyo hakuna anAyeweza kupita kati kati yao. Hawatasikia sauti ya ng'ombe yeyote. Ndege wa angani na wanyama wote wamekimbia.
11 And Y schal yyue Jerusalem in to heepis of grauel, and in to dennes of dragouns; and Y schal yyue the citees of Juda in to desolacioun, for ther is no dwellere.
Kwa hiyo nitaigeuza Yerusalemu kuwa vifusi vya ukiwa, maficho ya mbweha. Nitaifanya miji ya Yuda kuwa miji iliyoharibiwa isiyokaliwa na watu.
12 Who is a wise man that schal vndurstonde these thingis, and to whom the word of the mouth of the Lord schal be maad, that he telle this? Whi the erthe perischide, it is brent as desert, for noon is that passith?
Ni nani mwenye hekima anayeyaelewa haya? Je, kinywa cha BWANA kinatangaza nini kwake ili aweze kuyasema? Kwa nini nchi imepotea? Imeharibiwa kama jangwa, ambapo hakuna apitaye kati kati yake.
13 And the Lord seide, For thei forsoken my lawe, which Y yaf to hem, and thei herden not my vois, and thei yeden not therynne;
BWANA asema, “Ni kwa sababu wameziacha sheria zake ambazo niliwatengenezea, kwa sababu hawaisikilizi sauti yangu au kuishi kwa kuifuta.
14 and thei yeden aftir the schrewidnesse of her herte, and aftir Baalym, which thei lerneden of her fadris;
Ni kwa sababu wameishi kwa ushupavu wa mioyo yao na wamewafuata Mabaali kama baba zao walivyowafundisha kufanya.
15 therfor the Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal fede this puple with wermod, and Y schal yyue to hem drynke the watir of galle.
Kwa hiyo BWANA wa majeshi, Mungu wa Israeli, asema hivi, 'Tazama, Ninataka kuwafanya hawa watu wale pakanga na kunywa maji ya sumu.
16 And Y schal scatere hem among hethene men, whiche thei and her fadris knewen not; and Y schal sende swerd aftir hem, til thei ben wastid.
Ndipo nitakapowasambaza kati ya mataifa ambayo hawajayajua, wao wala mababu zao. Nitatuma upanga kwa ajili yao mpaka nimewaangamiza wote kabisa.'”
17 The Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, Biholde ye, and clepe ye wymmen `that weilen, and come thei; and sende ye to tho wymmen that ben wise, and haste thei.
BWANA wa majeshi asema hivi, “Yafikirini haya: Waiteni waliaji; waje. Tumeni wanawake wenye taaluma ya kuomboleza, waje.
18 Haste thei, and take thei weilynge on you; youre iyen brynge doun teeris, and youre iyelidis flowe with watris;
Waje haraka waimbe wimbo wa maombolezo juu yetu, ili macho yetu yatokwe na machozi na kope zetu zibubujikwe na maji.
19 for the vois of weilyng is herd fro Sion. Hou ben we distried, and schent greetli? for we han forsake the lond, for oure tabernaclis ben forsakun.
Kwa kuwa sauti ya kilio imesikika Sayuni, 'Jinsi tulivyoharibiwa. Tumeaibishwa sana, kwa kuwa tumeitelekeza nchi tangu walIpoangusha nyumba zetu.'
20 Therfor, wymmen, here ye the word of the Lord, and youre eeris take the word of his mouth; and teche ye youre douytris weilyng, and ech womman teche hir neiybore mournyng.
Kwa hiyo ninyi wanawake, sikieni neno la BWANA; zingatieni ujumbe unaokuja toka kinywani mwake. Kisha wafundisheni binti zenu wimbo wa maombolezo, na kila mwanamke wa jirani wimbo wa kilio.
21 For whi deth stiede bi youre wyndows, it entride in to youre housis, to leese litle children with outforth, and yonge men fro the stretis.
Kwa kuwa vifo vimekuja kupitia dirishani; vinaelekea mahali petu. Vinawaharibu watoto kutoka nje na vijana kwenye viwanja vya miji.
22 Speke thou, the Lord seith, these thingis, And the deed bodi of a man schal fal doun as a toord on the face of the cuntrei, and as hei bihynde the bak of the mowere, and noon is that gaderith.
Uyatangaze haya, 'Asema BWANA - mizoga ya wanaume itaanguka kama mavi kwenye mashamba na kama mabua baada ya mvunaji, na hapatakuwa na mtu wa kuyakusanya.'”
23 The Lord seith these thingis, A wise man haue not glorie in his wisdom, and a strong man haue not glorie in his strengthe, and a riche man haue not glorie in hise richessis; but he that hath glorie,
BWANA asema hivi, “Usimwache mtu mwenye busara ajivune kwa ajili ya hekima yake, au shujaa kwa sababu ya uwezo wake. Usimwache mtu tajiri ajivunie utajiri wake.
24 haue glorie in this, to wite and knowe me, for Y am the Lord, that do merci and dom and riytfulnesse in erthe. For whi these thingis plesen me, seith the Lord.
Kwa kuwa kama mtu atajivunia chochote kile, acha iwe hivi, yeye awe na busra na kunijua mimi. Kwa kuwa mimi ni BWANA, atendaye katika agano la wema, haki, na hukumu duniani. Ni katika hili kwamba ninafurahia- asema BWANA.
25 Lo! daies comen, seith the Lord, and Y schal visite on ech man that hath prepucie vncircumcidid; on Egipt,
Tazama, siku zaja - asema BWANA wakati nitakapowaadhibu wote ambao hawajatahiriwa ambao wako hivyo hivyo katika miili yao.
26 and on Juda, and on Edom, and on the sones of Amon, and on Moab, and on alle men that ben clippid on long heer, and dwellen in desert; for whi alle hethene men han prepucie, forsothe al the hous of Israel ben vncircumcidid in herte.
Nitaiadhibu Misri na Yuda, Edomu, watu wa Amoni, Moabu, na watu wote wanaonyoa denge. Kwani mataifa yote haya hayajatahiriwa, na nyumba yote ya Israeli ina moyo ambao haujatahiriwa.”
