< Yeremiya 33 >

1 Yeremiya bwe yali ng’akyali mu kkomera mu luggya lw’omukuumi, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kimujjira omulundi ogwokubiri nti,
Moreover the LORD’s word came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still locked up in the court of the guard, saying,
2 “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, oyo eyakola ensi, Mukama eyagikola era n’agiteekawo, Mukama lye linnya lye:
“The LORD who does it, the LORD who forms it to establish it—the LORD is his name, says:
3 ‘Mumpite n’abayitaba ne mbalaga ebikulu ebitanoonyezeka bye mutamanyi.’
‘Call to me, and I will answer you, and will show you great and difficult things, which you do not know.’
4 Kubanga bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri ku mayumba agali mu kibuga kino era ne ku mbiri z’obwakabaka bwa Yuda ebyamenyebwamenyebwa okukozesebwa ng’entuumo eziziyiza obulumbaganyi n’ekitala
For the LORD, the God of Israel, says concerning the houses of this city and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are broken down to make a defense against the mounds and against the sword:
5 mu lutalo n’Abakaludaaya. ‘Birijjula emirambo gy’abasajja be nditta olw’obusungu bwange n’ekiruyi. Ndikweka amaaso gange okuva ku kibuga kino olw’obutali butuukirivu bwabwe bwonna.
‘While men come to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have killed in my anger and in my wrath, and for all whose wickedness I have hidden my face from this city,
6 “‘Naye ndikiwa obulamu n’okuwonyezebwa; ndiwonya abantu bange, mbaleetere okweyagalira mu mirembe emigazi era eminywevu.
behold, I will bring it health and healing, and I will cure them; and I will reveal to them abundance of peace and truth.
7 Ndikomyawo Yuda ne Isirayiri okubaggya mu buwambe era mbazimbe nga bwe baasooka okubeera.
I will restore the fortunes of Judah and Israel, and will build them as at the first.
8 Ndibalongoosa okubaggyako ebibi byonna bye bannyonoona era mbasonyiwe n’ekibi eky’okunjeemera.
I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against me. I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned against me and by which they have transgressed against me.
9 Olwo ekibuga kino kirindetera okwongera okumanyika, n’essanyu, n’ettendo era n’ekitiibwa eri amawanga gonna ku nsi agaliwulira ebintu byonna ebirungi bye mbakolera; era balyewuunya bakankane olw’okukulaakulana n’emirembe gye nkiwa.’
This city will be to me for a name of joy, for praise, and for glory, before all the nations of the earth, which will hear all the good that I do to them, and will fear and tremble for all the good and for all the peace that I provide to it.’”
10 “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Mwogera ku kifo kino nti, “Matongo agaalekebwa awo, omutali bantu wadde ensolo.” Ate nga mu bibuga bya Yuda n’enguudo za Yerusaalemi ezalekebwawo omutali bantu wadde ensolo, muliddamu okuwulirwa nate
The LORD says: “Yet again there will be heard in this place, about which you say, ‘It is waste, without man and without animal, even in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man and without inhabitant and without animal,’
11 amaloboozi ag’essanyu n’okujaguza, n’amaloboozi g’omugole ne bba, n’amaloboozi gaabo abaleeta ekiweebwayo eky’okwebaza eri ennyumba ya Mukama, nga bagamba nti, “‘“Mumwebaze Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, kubanga Mukama mulungi; okwagala kwe kubeerera emirembe gyonna.” Kubanga ndizzaawo omukisa gw’eggwanga lino nga bwe gwali mu kusooka,’ bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who say, ‘Give thanks to the LORD of Armies, for the LORD is good, for his loving kindness endures forever;’ who bring thanksgiving into the LORD’s house. For I will cause the captivity of the land to be reversed as at the first,” says the LORD.
12 “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye nti, ‘Mu kifo kino ekirekeddwa awo omutali bantu wadde ensolo, mu bibuga byakyo byonna nate muliddamu amalundiro ag’abasumba mwe banaawummulizanga ebisibo byabwe.
The LORD of Armies says: “Yet again there will be in this place, which is waste, without man and without animal, and in all its cities, a habitation of shepherds causing their flocks to lie down.
13 Mu bibuga eby’ensi ey’obusozi, eby’eri wansi w’ensozi ez’omu bugwanjuba era ne Negebu, mu kitundu kya Benyamini, mu byalo ebyetoolodde Yerusaalemi n’ebibuga ebyetoolodde Yuda mwonna ebisibo biriddamu okuyita wansi w’omukono gw’oyo abibala,’ bw’ayogera Mukama.
In the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the lowland, in the cities of the South, in the land of Benjamin, in the places around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will again pass under the hands of him who counts them,” says the LORD.
14 “‘Ennaku zijja,’ bw’ayogera Mukama, ‘lwe ndituukiriza ekisuubizo eky’ekisa kye nakolera ennyumba ya Isirayiri n’ennyumba ya Yuda.
“Behold, the days come,” says the LORD, “that I will perform that good word which I have spoken concerning the house of Israel and concerning the house of Judah.
15 “‘Mu nnaku ezo era mu kiseera ekyo ndireeta Ettabi ettukuvu mu lunyiriri lwa Dawudi era alikola eby’amazima era ebituufu mu nsi.
“In those days and at that time, I will cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up to David. He will execute justice and righteousness in the land.
16 Mu nnaku ezo Yuda alirokolebwa ne Yerusaalemi alibeera mirembe. Lino lye linnya ly’aliyitibwa nti, Mukama Obutuukirivu bwaffe.’”
In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell safely. This is the name by which she will be called: The LORD our righteousness.”
17 Kubanga bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Dawudi talirema kubeera na muntu kutuula ku ntebe ey’obwakabaka bw’ennyumba ya Isirayiri,
For the LORD says: “David will never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel.
18 wadde bakabona, n’Abaleevi, okulemwa okubeera n’omusajja ow’okuyimirira mu maaso gange ebbanga lyonna okuwaayo ssaddaaka ezokebwa, okwokya ekiweebwayo eky’empeke era n’okuwaayo ssaddaaka.”
The Levitical priests will not lack a man before me to offer burnt offerings, to burn meal offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.”
19 Ekigambo kya Mukama kyajjira Yeremiya nti,
The LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
20 “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Bw’oba osobola okumenya endagaano yange n’emisana era n’endagaano yange n’ekiro, ne kiba nti emisana n’ekiro tebijja mu biseera byabyo ebyateekebwawo,
“The LORD says: ‘If you can break my covenant of the day and my covenant of the night, so that there will not be day and night in their time,
21 olwo endagaano yange ne Dawudi omuddu wange, n’endagaano yange n’Abaleevi, ne bakabona, n’abaweereza bange eyinza okumenyebwa, Dawudi aleme kuddayo kuba na muntu wa mu nju ye okufuga ku ntebe ye ey’obwakabaka.
then my covenant could also be broken with David my servant, that he will not have a son to reign on his throne; and with the Levitical priests, my ministers.
22 Ndifuula ab’enju ya Dawudi omuddu wange n’Abaleevi abaweereza mu maaso gange okwala ng’emmunyeenye ez’oku ggulu ezitabalika era abatabalika ng’omusenyu gw’okulubalama lw’ennyanja ogutapimika.’”
As the army of the sky cannot be counted, and the sand of the sea cannot be measured, so I will multiply the offspring of David my servant and the Levites who minister to me.’”
23 Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yeremiya nti,
The LORD’s word came to Jeremiah, saying,
24 Tonategeera nti abantu bano bagamba nti, “Mukama agaanye obwakabaka obubiri bwe yalonda? Kale banyooma abantu bange era tebakyababala ng’eggwanga.
“Do not consider what this people has spoken, saying, ‘Has the LORD cast off the two families which he chose?’ Thus they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.”
25 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Bwe mba nga sassaawo ndagaano yange n’emisana n’ekiro n’amateeka ag’enkalakkalira ag’eggulu n’ensi,
The LORD says: “If my covenant of day and night fails, if I have not appointed the ordinances of heaven and earth,
26 olwo nzija kwegaana ezzadde lya Yakobo ne Dawudi omuddu wange era sirironda n’omu ku batabani be okufuga ezzadde lya Ibulayimu, ne Isaaka ne Yakobo. Kubanga ndizzaawo nate emikisa gyabwe, era ne mbakwatirwa ekisa.’”
then I will also cast away the offspring of Jacob, and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his offspring to be rulers over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for I will cause their captivity to be reversed and will have mercy on them.”
