< Yeremiya 11 >
1 Kino kye kigambo kya Mukama ekyajjira Yeremiya.
Ilizwi elafika kuJeremiya livela eNkosini, lisithi:
2 Wuliriza ebigambo by’endagaano eno era yogera n’abantu ba Yuda era n’abo ababeera mu Yerusaalemi.
Zwanini amazwi alesisivumelwano, likhulume ebantwini bakoJuda lakubahlali beJerusalema.
3 Bagambe nti, “Bw’ati Mukama Katonda wa Isirayiri bw’ayogera nti, ‘Akolimiddwa omuntu atagondera bigambo by’endagaano eno
Njalo uthi kibo: Itsho njalo INkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Uqalekisiwe umuntu ongalaleli amazwi alesisivumelwano,
4 bye nalagira bakitammwe bwe nabaggya mu nsi y’e Misiri, okuva mu kikoomi ky’omuliro.’ Nabagamba nti, ‘Muŋŋondere era mukole ebintu byonna nga bwe mbalagira, munaabeeranga bantu bange, nange nnaabeeranga Katonda wammwe,
engawalayela oyihlo ngosuku engibakhupha ngalo elizweni leGibhithe, esithandweni sensimbi, ngisithi: Lalelani ilizwi lami, liwenze njengakho konke engililaya khona; ngalokho lizakuba ngabantu bami, lami ngibe nguNkulunkulu wenu,
5 ndyoke ntuukirize ekirayiro kye nalayirira bajjajjammwe, okubawa ensi ekulukuta amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki, ensi gye mulimu leero.’” Awo ne nziramu nti, “Kibeere bwe kityo Mukama.”
ukuze ngimise isifungo engasifunga kuboyihlo ukuthi ngibanike ilizwe eligeleza uchago loluju, njengalamuhla. Ngasengiphendula ngathi: Ameni, Nkosi.
6 Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti, “Langirira ebigambo bino byonna mu bibuga bya Yuda ne mu nguudo za Yerusaalemi. ‘Muwulire ebigambo by’endagaano era mubikole.
INkosi yasisithi kimi: Memezela wonke lamazwi emizini yakoJuda lezitaladeni zeJerusalema, usithi: Zwanini amazwi alesisivumelwano, liwenze.
7 Okuva lwe naggya bajjajjammwe mu Misiri okutuusa leero, mbakuutidde emirundi mingi nga mbagamba nti, “Muŋŋondere.”
Ngoba ngafakaza lokufakaza kuboyihlo ngosuku engabakhuphula ngalo elizweni leGibhithe, kuze kube lamuhla, ngivuka ngovivi ngifakaza, ngisithi: Lalelani ilizwi lami.
8 Naye tebampuliriza wadde okussaayo omwoyo, wabula buli muntu yeeyongera okutambulira mu bukakanyavu bw’omutima gwe omubi. Ne ndyoka mbaleetako ebikolimo byonna ebiri mu ndagaano gye nabalagira okukwata ne batagikwata.’”
Kodwa kabalalelanga, kababekanga indlebe yabo, kodwa bahamba, ngulowo lalowo ngobulukhuni benhliziyo yabo embi. Ngakho ngizaletha phezu kwabo wonke amazwi alesisivumelwano, engabalaya ukuthi bawenze, kodwa kabawenzanga.
9 Ate Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti, “Waliwo olukwe mu basajja ba Yuda ne mu batuuze b’omu Yerusaalemi.
INkosi yasisithi kimi: Kutholakele ugobe phakathi kwabantu bakoJuda, laphakathi kwabahlali beJerusalema.
10 Bazzeeyo mu butali butuukirivu bwa bajjajjaabwe abaagaana okugoberera ebigambo byange. Bagoberedde bakatonda abalala ne babaweereza. Ennyumba zombi eya Isirayiri n’eya Yuda zimenye endagaano gye nakola ne bajjajjaabwe.
Sebebuyele eziphambekweni zabokhokho babo, abala ukuzwa ilizwi lami; bona balandela abanye onkulunkulu ukuze babakhonze; indlu yakoIsrayeli lendlu yakoJuda zisephulile isivumelwano sami engasenza laboyise.
11 Noolwekyo, bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Laba, ndibaleetako akabi ke batayinza kuwona; wadde banaankaabirira, sijja kubawuliriza.
Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi: Khangela, ngizaletha okubi phezu kwabo, abangeke baphume kukho; lapho bekhala kimi, kangiyikubezwa.
12 Ebibuga bya Yuda n’abantu ba Yerusaalemi bajja kugenda bakaabirire bakatonda baabwe be bootereza obubaane, naye tebaabayambe n’akamu nga bali mu nnaku.
Khona imizi yakoJuda labahlali beJerusalema bezahamba bakhale kubonkulunkulu ababatshisela impepha, kodwa kabayikubasindisa lokubasindisa ngesikhathi sobubi babo.
13 Mulina bakatonda abenkana ebibuga byammwe obungi, ggwe Yuda; n’ebyoto bye mukoze okwoterezaako obubaane eri Baali byenkana enguudo za Yerusaalemi obungi.’
Ngoba njengenani lemizi yakho babenjalo onkulunkulu bakho, Juda, lanjengenani lezitalada zeJerusalema limisile amalathi kulokhu okuyangisayo, amalathi okutshisela uBhali impepha.
14 “Noolwekyo tosabira bantu bano, tobakaabiririra wadde okubegayiririra kubanga siribawulira mu biro lwe baligwako akabi.
Ngakho wena ungabakhulekeli lababantu, futhi ungabaphakamiseli ukukhala kumbe umkhuleko, ngoba kangiyikuzwa ngesikhathi sokukhala kwabo kimi ngenxa yenhlupheko yabo.
15 “Omwagalwa akola ki mu yeekaalu yange ng’ate akoze eby’ekivve? Okuwaayo ssaddaaka kuyinza okukuggyako ekibonerezo ekijja? Okola ebibi n’olyoka ojaguza!”
Othandekayo wami ulani endlini yami, lokhu enze amanyala labanengi, lenyama engcwele isiyedlule kuwe yini? Lapho usenza okubi, kulapho uthokoza.
16 Mukama yakutuuma Omuzeyituuni ogubala ennyo, oguliko ebibala ebirungi. Naye ajja kugukumako omuliro n’okuwuuma okw’omuyaga ogw’amaanyi, amatabi gaagwo gakutuke.
INkosi yabiza ibizo lakho ngokuthi: Isihlahla somhlwathi esiluhlaza esihle ngezithelo ezinhle; ngomsindo wenhlokomo enkulu izasithungela ngomlilo, lengatsha zaso zephuke.
17 Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, eyakusimba akulangiriddeko akabi kubanga ennyumba ya Isirayiri n’ennyumba ya Yuda zikoze eby’ekivve ne zinkwasa obusungu bwe zooterezza Baali obubaane.
Ngoba iNkosi yamabandla, eyakuhlanyelayo, ikhulumile okubi ngawe, ngenxa yobubi bendlu yakoIsrayeli lobendlu yakoJuda, abakwenzileyo bemelene labo ngokwabo ukungicunula ngokutshisela uBhali impepha.
18 Mukama yambikkulira nnamanyisa mu bbanga eryo olukwe lwe baali bansalira.
INkosi yasingazisa ukuthi ngazi; wasungitshengisa izenzo zabo.
19 Nnali ng’omwana gw’endiga gwe batwala okuttibwa. Nnali simanyi nga nze gwe baali balyamu olukwe, nga bagamba nti, “Ka tuzikirize omuti n’ekibala kyagwo, ka tumutemere ddala ave ku nsi y’abalamu, erinnya lye lireme okuddayo okujjukirwa n’akatono.”
Kodwa mina nganginjengewundlu kumbe inkabi kusiwa ekuhlatshweni; ngoba ngangingazi ukuthi baceba amacebo bemelene lami, besithi: Asichithe isihlahla lesithelo saso; asimqume asuke elizweni labaphilayo, ukuze ibizo lakhe lingabe lisakhunjulwa.
20 Naye ggwe Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, alamula mu bwenkanya, agezesa omutima n’ebirowoozo, ka ndabe bw’obawoolera eggwanga, kubanga ggwe gwenkwasizza ensonga yange.
Kodwa, wena Nkosi yamabandla, umahluleli olungileyo, ohlola izinso lenhliziyo, kangibone impindiselo yakho kibo; ngoba ngembule udaba lwami kuwe.
21 Noolwekyo bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ku basajja b’e Anasosi abanoonya obulamu bwo nga bagamba nti, “Totubuulira bunnabbi mu linnya lya Mukama, tuleme okukutta.”
Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi ngamadoda eAnathothi, adinga impilo yakho, esithi: Ungaprofethi ngebizo leNkosi, ukuze ungafi ngesandla sethu.
22 Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye nti, “Laba, nzija kutta abavubuka n’ekitala; ne batabani baabwe n’abawala bafe enjala.
Ngakho itsho njalo INkosi yamabandla: Khangela, ngizawajezisa; amajaha azakufa ngenkemba, amadodana awo lamadodakazi awo azakufa ngendlala,
23 So tewaliba n’omu alisigalawo, kubanga ndireeta akabi ku basajja b’e Anasosi, mu mwaka gwe ndibabonererezaamu.”
njalo kakuyikuba lensali kuwo; ngoba ngizaletha okubi phezu kwamadoda eAnathothi, ngomnyaka wempindiselo yawo.
