Jeremiah 30
1 The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,
Kino kye kigambo kya Mukama ekyajjira Yeremiya nti,
2 'Thus spake Jehovah, God of Israel, saying, Write for thee all the words that I have spoken unto thee on a book.
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ‘Wandiika ku muzingo ebigambo byonna bye njogedde naawe.
3 For, lo, days are coming — an affirmation of Jehovah — and I have turned back [to] the captivity of My people Israel and Judah, said Jehovah, and I have caused them to turn back unto the land that I gave to their fathers, and they do possess it.'
Ennaku zijja, lwe ndikomyawo abantu bange Isirayiri ne Yuda okuva mu busibe, mbazzeeyo mu nsi gye nawa bajjajjaabwe babeere omwo,’ bw’ayogera Mukama.”
4 And these [are] the words that Jehovah hath spoken concerning Israel and concerning Judah:
Bino bye bigambo Mukama bye yayogera ebikwata ku Isirayiri ne Yuda nti,
5 Surely thus said Jehovah: A voice of trembling we have heard, Fear — and there is no peace.
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “‘Emiranga egy’okutya giwulirwa, bulabe teri mirembe.
6 Ask, I pray you, and see, is a male bringing forth? Wherefore have I seen every man, His hands on his loins, as a travailing woman, And all faces have been turned to paleness?
Mubuuze mulabe. Omusajja alumwa okuzaala? Kale lwaki ndaba buli musajja ow’amaanyi ng’atadde emikono gye ku lubuto ng’omukazi alumwa okuzaala, buli muntu mu maaso yenna asiiwuuse ng’agenda okufa?
7 Woe! for great [is] that day, without any like it, Yea, a time of adversity it [is] to Jacob, Yet out of it he is saved.
Nga luliba lwa nnaku olunaku olwo! Tewali lulirufaanana. Kiriba kiseera kya kabi eri Yakobo, naye aliwona n’akiyitamu.
8 And it hath come to pass, in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts, I break his yoke from off thy neck, And thy bands I draw away, And lay no more service on him do strangers.
“‘Olulituuka ku lunaku olwo, ndimenya ekikoligo okuva mu nsingo zaabwe era ne mbasaleko amasamba, ab’amawanga nga tebakyaddayo kubafuula baddu,’ bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye.
9 And they have served Jehovah their God, And David their king whom I raise up to them.
Wabula, bajja kuweerezanga Mukama Katonda waabwe ne Dawudi kabaka waabwe gwe ndibayimusiza.
10 And thou, be not afraid, My servant Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah, Nor be affrighted, O Israel, For, lo, I am saving thee from afar, And thy seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob hath turned back and rested, And is quiet, and there is none troubling.
“‘Noolwekyo totya, ggwe Yakobo omuweereza wange, toggwaamu maanyi ggwe Isirayiri,’ bw’ayogera Mukama. ‘Ddala ddala ndibalokola okubaggya mu kifo eky’ewala, nziggye ezzadde lyammwe okuva mu nsi ey’obuwaŋŋanguse. Yakobo aliddamu okuba n’emirembe n’obutebenkevu, era tewali n’omu alimutiisatiisa.
11 For with thee [am] I, An affirmation of Jehovah — to save thee, For I make an end of all the nations Whither I have scattered thee, Only, of thee I do not make an end, And I have chastised thee in judgment, And do not entirely acquit thee.
Ndi wamu nammwe era ndibalokola, wadde nga ndizikiririza ddala amawanga gye mbagobedde, siribazikiririza ddala mmwe,’ bw’ayogera Mukama. Ndibakangavvula n’obwenkanya, siribaleka nga temubonerezebbwa n’akatono.
12 For thus said Jehovah: Incurable is thy breach, grievous thy stroke,
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “‘Ekiwundu kyo tekiwonyezeka, Ebisago byo si byakuwona.
13 There is none judging thy cause to bind up, Healing medicines there are none for thee.
Tewali n’omu wa kukuwolereza, tewali ddagala lya kiwundu kyo, toowonyezebwe.
14 all loving thee have forgotten thee, Thee they do not seek, For with the stroke of an enemy I smote thee, The chastisement of a fierce one, Because of the abundance of thy iniquity, Mighty have been thy sins!
Abakuyamba bonna bakwerabidde tebakufaako. Nkukubye ng’omulabe bwe yandikoze ne nkubonereza ng’owettima bwe yandikoze, kubanga omusango gw’ozzizza munene nnyo n’ebibi byo bingi ddala.
15 What! — thou criest concerning thy breach! Incurable [is] thy pain, Because of the abundance of thy iniquity, Mighty have been thy sins! I have done these to thee.
Lwaki okaaba olw’ekiwundu kyo, obulumi bwo obutaliiko ddagala? Olw’okwonoona kwo okunene n’ebibi byo ebingi ennyo nkuleeseeko ebintu bino.
16 Therefore all consuming thee are consumed, And all thine adversaries — all of them — Into captivity do go, And thy spoilers have been for a spoil, And all thy plunderers I give up to plunder.
“‘Naye bonna abakumira nabo baliriibwa, abalabe bo bonna baligenda mu buwaŋŋanguse. Abo abaakunyaga balinyagibwa, abo abaakwelula balyelulwa.
17 For I increase health to thee, And from thy strokes I do heal thee, An affirmation of Jehovah, For 'Outcast' they have called to thee, 'Zion it [is], there is none seeking for her.'
Naye ndikuzzaawo owone, ndiwonya ebiwundu byo,’ bw’ayogera Mukama, ‘kubanga oyitibwa eyasuulibwa, Sayuuni atalina n’omu amufaako.’
18 Thus said Jehovah: Lo, I turn back [to] the captivity of the tents of Jacob, And his dwelling places I pity, And the city hath been built on its heap, And the palace according to its ordinance remaineth.
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “‘Ndizzaawo eby’obugagga by’eweema za Yakobo era mbeere n’ekisa ku kifo kyammwe kye mwabeerangamu. Ekibuga kirizimbibwa awaali amatongo gaakyo, n’olubiri luzzibwe mu kifo kyalwo ekituufu.
19 And gone forth from them hath thanksgiving, And the voice of playful ones, And I have multiplied them and they are not few, And made them honourable, and they are not small.
Mu bo mulivaamu ennyimba ez’okwebaza era n’eddoboozi ery’okujaguza, ndibaaza, era tebaliba batono, ndibawa ekitiibwa, tebalinyoomebwa.
20 And his sons have been as aforetime, And his company before Me is established, And I have seen after all his oppressors.
Abaana baabwe baliba nga bwe baali mu nnaku ez’edda, era n’ebitundu byabwe mwe baabeeranga bizimbibwe nga ndaba. Ndibonereza bonna ababanyigiriza.
21 And his honourable one hath been of himself, And his ruler from his midst goeth forth, And I have caused him to draw near, And he hath drawn nigh unto Me, For who [is] he who hath pledged his heart To draw nigh unto Me? An affirmation of Jehovah.
Omukulembeze waabwe aliba omu ku bo; omukulembeze waabwe aliyimuka okuva mu bo. Ndimuleeta wendi era musembeze kumpi nange, kubanga ani oyo alyewaayo okunyiikira okubeera okumpi nange?’ bw’ayogera Mukama.
22 And ye have been to Me for a people, And I am to you for God.
‘Noolwekyo munaabeeranga bantu bange, nange n’abeeranga Katonda wammwe.’”
23 Lo, a whirlwind of Jehovah — Fury hath gone forth — a cutting whirlwind, On the head of the wicked it stayeth.
Laba, omuyaga gwa Mukama gulikuntira mu kiruyi, empewo ey’amaanyi eyeetooloolera ku mitwe gy’abakozi b’ebibi.
24 The fierceness of the anger of Jehovah Doth not turn back till His doing, Yea, till His establishing the devices of His heart, In the latter end of the days we consider it!
Obusungu bwa Mukama obubuubuuka tebujja kukoma okutuusa ng’atuukirizza ekigendererwa ky’omutima gwe. Mu nnaku ezirijja, kino mulikitegeera.
