< Zeremaia 14 >
1 Hagi Juda mopafima ko'ma origeno maka zamo'ma hagege hianknafina Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno anazankura Jeremaia'na nasami'ne.
Hili ndilo neno la Bwana kwa Yeremia kuhusu ukame:
2 Juda vahe'mo'za tusi zavi krafa nehazage'za, ranra kumapima kuma kafama erigi'zama mani'naza vahera zaferina zamia omane amane nehie. Maka vahe'mo'za mopafi masene'za zavira nete'za zamasunkura nehaze. Ana nehazageno Jerusalemi kumapinti'ma tusi zavi krafama nehaza zamofo agasasamo'a amenagame mareri'ne.
“Yuda anaomboleza, miji yake inayodhoofika; wanaomboleza kwa ajili ya nchi, nacho kilio kinapanda kutoka Yerusalemu.
3 Hagi ugota kva vahe'mo'za, ti ome afiho hu'za eri'za vahe zamia huzamantage'za vu'naze. Hianagi maka tinkerimo'a hagege hu'nege'za ana eri'za vahe'mo'za na'a hugahune hu'za antahintahi hakare nehu'za, tintaferamina amne eri'za e'naze. Ana hute'za zamagazegu nehu'za zamazana zamasenire ante'za rufite'naze.
Wakuu wanawatuma watumishi wao maji; wanakwenda visimani lakini humo hakuna maji. Wanarudi na vyombo bila maji; wakiwa na hofu na kukata tamaa, wanafunika vichwa vyao.
4 Hagi mopamo'a hagege huno kekokako hu'ne. Na'ankure ana mopafina kora ruonte'ne. Ana hige'za hozama nentaza vahe'mo'za zamagranena zamazana zamasenire rufite'za zamasunku hu'naze.
Ardhi imepasuka nyufa kwa sababu hakuna mvua katika nchi; wakulima wana hofu na wanafunika vichwa vyao.
5 Hagi afi a' dia afu'mo'za zamagranena anentazamia zamatre'za fre'naze. Na'ankure trazama nesaza zana omanege'za anara hu'naze.
Hata kulungu mashambani anamwacha mtoto wake aliyezaliwa wakati huo huo kwa sababu hakuna majani.
6 Hagi afi donki afumo'za hagege agonaramimpi oti'za, afi kramo'ma hiaza hu'za zamasafeku nehu'za, zamaganefuna hagana hagana hu'naze. Trazama nesaza zanena omanegeno zamavumo'a kagikagi hu'ne.
Punda-mwitu wanasimama juu ya miinuko iliyo kame na kutweta kama mbweha; macho yao yanakosa nguvu za kuona kwa ajili ya kukosa malisho.”
7 Hagi zamagra hu'za, Ra Anumzamoka tagrama hu'nona havi avu'ava zamo ama hazenkea avreno eme neramie. Hianagi kagrika'a kagi'mofo knare zanku nentahinka tazahuo. Na'ankure tagra rama'a zupa tamefira hunegamita, Kagri kavufina kumira huvava huta e'none.
Ingawa dhambi zetu zinashuhudia juu yetu, Ee Bwana, tenda jambo kwa ajili ya jina lako. Kwa kuwa kukengeuka kwetu ni kukubwa, nasi tumetenda dhambi dhidi yako.
8 Hagi tagra Israeli vahe'mota Kagrite amuhara nehuta kavega ante'nonkenka, knazamo'ma tagrite'ma ne-egenka, kagra tagu'nevazine. Hanki kagra nahigenka, ru moparegati amane kanteno ea vahemo magoke kenage tagrane emaseteno viazana nehane?
Ee Tumaini la Israeli, Mwokozi wake wakati wa taabu, kwa nini unakuwa kama mgeni katika nchi, kama msafiri anayekaa kwa usiku mmoja tu?
9 Hagi nahigenka antahintahi hakarema nehia vaheknara nehunka, harafa ne' mani'noanagi vahe'ma azama osianknara nehane? Hianagi Ra Anumzamoka tagrane magoka mani'nane. Ana nehunka Nagri vahe mani'naze hunka tagrira huhampari rante'nananki, Kagra orataro.
Mbona unakuwa kama mtu aliyeshtukizwa, kama shujaa asiye na uwezo wa kuokoa? Wewe uko katikati yetu, Ee Bwana, nasi tunaitwa kwa jina lako; usituache!
10 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a ana vahekura amanage hu'ne. Tamagra Nagri'ma natreta afete'ma mani'zankuke tamavenesigeta, akoheta mani so'ea nosaze. E'ina hu'negu Nagri vahe mani'naze hu'na antahi noramue. Nagra menina havi avu'ava zama hu'naza zanku nagesa nentahi'na, knazana tami'na tamazeri havizana hugahue.
Hili ndilo Bwana asemalo kuhusu watu hawa: “Wanapenda sana kutangatanga, hawaizuii miguu yao. Hivyo Bwana hawakubali; sasa ataukumbuka uovu wao na kuwaadhibu kwa ajili ya dhambi zao.”
11 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a amanage huno nasami'ne, Jeremaiaga ama vahe'ma knare hu'za manisazegura Nagritega nunamuna osuo.
Kisha Bwana akaniambia, “Usiombe kwa ajili ya mafanikio ya watu hawa.
12 Hagi ne'zama atre'za nunamuma hana zana Nagra antahi nozami'na, tevefi kre fanane hu ofane, witi ofanema hanaza zankura Nagra musena osugahue. Hianagi Nagra ha' vahe huzmanta'nena eme zamahe nefrisage'na, zamagatonto zanteti'ene' ruzahu ruzahu krireti zamahe frigahue.
Ingawa wanafunga, sitasikiliza kilio chao; hata wakitoa dhabihu za kuteketezwa na dhabihu za nafaka, sitazikubali. Badala yake, nitawaangamiza kwa upanga, njaa na tauni.”
13 Hianagi nagra amanage hu'na hu'noe. Ra Anumzamoka ama ana vahe'mokizmi kasnampa vahe'mo'za ko zamasami'za, ha'ma hu'zane zamagatonto hu knamo'a omesanigeta knare huta manigahaze hu'za nezamasami'za, Ra Anumzamo tamarimpa frua tamisnigeta ama mopafina manigahaze hu'za nehaze.
Lakini nikasema, “Aa, Bwana Mwenyezi, manabii wanaendelea kuwaambia, ‘Hamtaona upanga wala kukabiliwa na njaa. Naam, nitawapa amani ya kudumu mahali hapa.’”
14 Anante Ra Anumzamo'a huno, e'i ana kasnampa vahe'mo'za Nagri nagifi havi kasnampa naneke nehaze. Nagra mago vahera huntege, nanekea asamigera osu'noe. Zamagra havige hu'za ava'nagna zana ke'none nehu'za, fri vahe hankro'ene nanekea nehu'za, zamagra'a antahintahifinti agafa'a omne nanekea nehaze.
Ndipo Bwana akaniambia, “Manabii wanatabiri uongo kwa jina langu. Sikuwatuma, wala sikuwaweka, wala sikusema nao. Wanawatabiria maono ya uongo, maaguzi, maono ya sanamu zisizofaa kitu, na madanganyo ya mawazo yao wenyewe.
15 E'ina hu'negu Ra Anumzamo'a amanage hu'ne. Nagra huozamante noanagi Nagri nagifima havi kasnampa kema hu'za, ha'ma hu' zane zamagatonto zanena ama mopafina omegahie hu'za hu'naze. Hianagi ana kasnampa kema hu'naza vahera hapinti'ene zamagatonto zamo'ene zamahe frigahie.
Kwa hiyo, hili ndilo Bwana asemalo kuhusu manabii wanaotabiri kwa jina langu: Mimi sikuwatuma, lakini wanasema, ‘Hakuna upanga wala njaa itakayoigusa nchi hii.’ Manabii hao hao watakufa kwa upanga na njaa.
16 Hagi ana kasnampa kema nehazage'zama antahi'naza vahe'enena hapinti'ene zamagatonto zamo'ene zamahe frigahie. Ana hanage'za ha' vahe'mo'za veneneramine, a'ne zamine ne'mofavre naga'zmimokizmi fri'naza zamavufaga eri atresageno Jerusalemi kumamofo ne'onse kantamimpi megahie. Ana hu'za maka fri vagaresageno mago vahe'mo'a kasefara huno mani'neno aseozamantegahie. Na'ankure zamagrama hu'naza kumi'mofo nona'a knazana zamagri agofetura antegahue.
Nao watu hao wanaowatabiria watatupwa nje katika barabara za Yerusalemu kwa sababu ya njaa na upanga. Hapatakuwepo yeyote wa kuwazika wao au wake zao, wana wao au binti zao. Nitawamwagia maafa wanayostahili.
17 Hagi Jeremaiaga ama ana vahera menina amanage hunka zamasamio. Hanine zagenena zavira tevava nehugeno navunumo'a tinkna huno fragu vazineramie. Na'ankure mofa'nane gna'ma hu'nage'na, nagrama navesima nezamantoa vaheni'a ha' vahe'mo'za zamahe'za rehapatizage'za zamatagu hu'naze.
“Nena nao neno hili: “‘Macho yangu na yatiririkwe na machozi usiku na mchana bila kukoma; kwa kuwa binti yangu aliye bikira, yaani watu wangu, amepata jeraha baya, pigo la kuangamiza.
18 Hagi nagrama vu'na kuma'mofo fegi'ama ome kesuana, hapinti'ma zamahe fri'nesaza vahe zamavufaga ome kegahue. Hagi rankumamofo agu'afima ufresuana ne'zanku hu'za fri'nesaza vahe zamavufaga ome kegahue. Hagi pristi vahe'ene kasnampa vahe'mo'zanena ke'za antahiza osu'naza moparega vu'naze.
Kama nikienda mashambani, ninaona wale waliouawa kwa upanga; kama nikienda mjini, ninaona maangamizi ya njaa. Nabii na kuhani kwa pamoja wamekwenda katika nchi wasiyoijua.’”
19 Ra Anumzamoka tamagerafa hunka Juda vahera hago kamagena huzami'nampi? Hagi Saioni kumara hago kavesra huntenka kagote'nentampi? Kagra nahigenka tazeri haviza hutenka zazatera tatranketa tatafina mani'nonkeno anazamo'a amera huno vagarenorante? Tagra tarimpa frune manisanumpi huta muhara hunanagi, mago knare'zana ome'ne. Tagrama kanamaresuna knagu muhara huta avega antonanagi, tusi koro zampinke mani'none.
Je, umemkataa Yuda kabisa? Umemchukia Sayuni kabisa? Kwa nini umetuumiza hata hatuwezi kuponyeka? Tulitarajia amani, lakini hakuna jema lililotujia; tulitarajia wakati wa kupona lakini kuna hofu kuu tu.
20 Hagi Ra Anumzamoka tagehe'zama hu'naza kumiku'ene tagrama hu'nona kumikura hago kagri kavufi kumi hu'none huta huama hune.
Ee Bwana, tunatambua uovu wetu na kosa la baba zetu; kweli tumetenda dhambi dhidi yako.
21 Hagi Ra Anumzamoka Kagraka'a rankagimofo knare zanku kagesa nentahinka, kamefira huoramio. Ana nehunka masanentake kini traka'a eri ante fenkamia otro. Tagranema huhagerafi huvempa kema hu'nana kegura kagesa nentahinka ruha'ontagio.
Kwa ajili ya jina lako usituchukie kabisa; usikidharau kiti chako cha enzi kilichotukuka. Kumbuka agano lako nasi na usilivunje.
22 Hagi ru vahe'mokizmia kaza osu havi anumzaramimo'za kokura hanageno kora rugahifi? Monafintira agra'a avesitera kora rugahifi? I'o, Ra Anumzana tagri Anumzamoka Kagrake'za nehankeno kora nerie. E'ina hu'negeta kagrama taza hananku muhara nehuta kavega nentone. Na'ankure ama ana maka zana kagrake hankeno fore nehie.
Je, kuna sanamu yoyote isiyofaa kitu ya mataifa iwezayo kuleta mvua? Je, anga peke yake zaweza kutoa mvua? La hasha, ni wewe peke yako, Ee Bwana, Mungu wetu. Kwa hiyo tumaini letu liko kwako, kwa kuwa wewe ndiwe ufanyaye haya yote.
