Yeremiya 26
1 Awo Yekoyakimu mutabani wa Yosiya kabaka wa Yuda nga yakalya obwakabaka, ekigambo kino kyajja okuva eri Mukama.
In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, came this word from the LORD, saying,
2 “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, Yimirira mu luggya lw’ennyumba ya Mukama oyogere eri abantu bonna ab’ebibuga bya Yuda abazze okusinza mu nnyumba ya Mukama. Bagambe byonna bye nkulagira; tobaako na ky’olekayo.
"Thus says the LORD: Stand in the court of the LORD's house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD's house, all the words that I command you to speak to them; do not diminish a word.
3 Oboolyawo banaawulira, buli muntu n’akyuka okuva mu makubo ge amabi. Olwo nnejjuse nneme kubaleetako kikangabwa kyembadde ntegeka olw’okwonoona kwabwe.
It may be they will listen, and turn every man from his evil way; that I may relent of the evil which I purpose to do to them because of the evil of their doings.
4 Bagambe, bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Bwe mutampulirize ne mugoberera amateeka gange ge mbawadde,
You shall tell them, 'Thus says the LORD: If you will not listen to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,
5 era bwe mutaawulirize bigambo bya baddu bange bannabbi, be mbatumidde emirundi emingi wadde nga temubafuddeeko,
to listen to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send to you, even rising up early and sending them, but you have not listened;
6 ndifuula enju eno nga Siiro era n’ekibuga kino ng’ekintu eky’okukolimirwa mu mawanga ag’ensi.’”
then will I make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.'"
7 Bakabona ne bannabbi n’abantu bonna ne bawulira Yeremiya ng’ayogera ebigambo bino mu nnyumba ya Mukama.
The priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of the LORD.
8 Naye nga Yeremiya ya kamaliriza okubuulira abantu bonna ebintu byonna Mukama bye yali amulagidde okwogera, bakabona ne bannabbi, n’abantu bonna ne bamukwata ne bagamba nti, “Oteekwa okufa!
It happened, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that the LORD had commanded him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people laid hold on him, saying, "You shall surely die.
9 Lwaki oyogera ebyobunnabbi mu linnya lya Mukama nti, Ennyumba eno eneebeera nga Siiro, n’ekibuga kino kinaakubwa kisigale matongo?” Awo abantu bonna ne beetooloola Yeremiya mu nnyumba ya Mukama.
Why have you prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying, 'This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate, without inhabitant?'" All the people were gathered to Jeremiah in the house of the LORD.
10 Awo abakungu ba Yuda bwe baawulira ebigambo bino, ne bava mu lubiri ne bambuka mu nnyumba ya Mukama ne batuula mu bifo byabwe awayingirirwa ku Mulyango Omuggya ogw’ennyumba ya Mukama.
When the officials of Judah heard these things, they came up from the king's house to the house of the LORD; and they sat in the entry of the New Gate of the LORD's house.
11 Awo bakabona ne bannabbi ne bagamba abakungu n’abantu bonna nti, “Omusajja ono asaana kusalirwa musango gwa kufa kubanga ayogedde ebyobunnabbi ebibi ku kibuga kino. Mukiwulidde n’amatu gammwe gennyini.”
Then spoke the priests and the prophets to the officials and to all the people, saying, "This man is worthy of death; for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears."
12 Awo Yeremiya n’agamba abakungu bonna n’abantu bonna nti, “Mukama yantuma njogere ebyobunnabbi bwe bityo ku nnyumba eno n’ekibuga kino ebintu byonna bye muwulidde.
Then Jeremiah spoke to all the officials and to all the people, saying, "The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.
13 Kaakano mukyuse amakubo gammwe n’ebikolwa byammwe mugondere Mukama Katonda wammwe. Olwo Mukama anaakyusa n’ataleeta bikangabwa by’aboogeddeko.
Now therefore amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will relent of the disaster that he has pronounced against you.
14 Nze, ndi mu mikono gyammwe; munkole kyonna kye mulowooza nga kye kirungi era kye kituufu.
But as for me, look, I am in your hands; do with me as is good and right in your eyes.
15 Mumanyire ddala nno nti bwe munzita, mujja kwereetako omusango gw’okuyiwa omusaayi ogutalina musango, mmwe n’ekibuga kino n’abo abakibeeramu, kubanga eky’amazima Mukama ye yantumye okwogera gye muli ebigambo bino byonna mubiwulire.”
Only know for certain that, if you put me to death, you will bring innocent blood on yourselves, and on this city, and on its inhabitants; for of a truth the LORD has sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears."
16 Awo abakungu n’abantu bonna ne bagamba bakabona ne bannabbi nti, “Omusajja ono tasaana kusalirwa musango gwa kufa! Ayogedde naffe mu linnya lya Mukama Katonda waffe.”
Then the officials and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets: "This man is not worthy of death; for he has spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God."
17 Abamu ku bakadde ne bavaayo ne bajja mu maaso ne boogera eri ekibiina kyonna eky’abantu nti,
Then rose up certain of the elders of the land, and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,
18 “Mikka ow’e Moreseesi yawa obunnabbi mu nnaku za Keezeekiya kabaka wa Yuda. Yagamba abantu bonna aba Yuda nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye nti, “‘Sayuuni ajja kulimibwa ng’ennimiro, Yerusaalemi ajja kufuuka ntuumu ya mafunfugu, olusozi lwa yeekaalu, lufuuke akasozi akamezeeko ebisaka.’
"Micah the Morashtite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah; and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts: "Zion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest."'
19 Keezeekiya oba omuntu omulala yenna mu Yuda, yamutta? Keezeekiya teyatya Mukama n’anoonya ekisa kye? Era Mukama teyakyusa n’ataleeta kuzikirira kwe yali agambye okubaleetako? Naye tunaatera okwereetera obulabe obw’amaanyi!”
Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all Judah put him to death? Did he not fear the LORD, and seek the favor of the LORD, and the LORD relented of the disaster which he had pronounced against them? Thus should we commit great evil against our own souls.
20 Waaliwo omusajja omulala Uliya omwana wa Semaaya ow’e Kiriyasuyalimu, eyawa obunnabbi mu linnya lya Mukama. Yawa obunnabbi bwe bumu ng’obwa Yeremiya obugugumbula ekibuga kino era n’ensi eno.
"There was also a man who prophesied in the name of the LORD, Uriah the son of Shemaiah of Kiriath Jearim; and he prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah.
21 Wabula kabaka Yekoyakimu n’abakungu be bonna n’abasajja be n’ab’obuyinza, bwe baawulira ebigambo bye, kabaka n’amunoonya okumutta, naye Uliya bwe yakiwulira n’atya n’addukira e Misiri.
And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the officials, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death; but when Uriah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt.
22 Awo kabaka Yekoyakimu n’atuma Erunasani mutabani wa Akubooli n’abasajja abawerako,
And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him, into Egypt;
23 ne baggya Uliya e Misiri ne bamutwala eri kabaka Yekoyakimu, eyalagira attibwe n’ekitala omulambo gwe ne gusuulibwa mu kifo ekiziikibwamu ekya lukale.
and they fetched forth Uriah out of Egypt, and brought him to Jehoiakim the king, who killed him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people."
24 Akikamu mutabani wa Safani n’awolereza Yeremiya n’amuwagira n’ataweebwayo eri bantu kuttibwa.
But the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
