Yeremiya 33
1 Yeremiya bwe yali ng’akyali mu kkomera mu luggya lw’omukuumi, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kimujjira omulundi ogwokubiri nti,
Moreover the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was yet confined in the court of the prison, saying,
2 “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, oyo eyakola ensi, Mukama eyagikola era n’agiteekawo, Mukama lye linnya lye:
Thus saith the LORD the maker of this, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD [is] his name;
3 ‘Mumpite n’abayitaba ne mbalaga ebikulu ebitanoonyezeka bye mutamanyi.’
Call to me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.
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 thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down by the mounts, and by 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.
They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but [it is] to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in my anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid 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 cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.
7 Ndikomyawo Yuda ne Isirayiri okubaggya mu buwambe era mbazimbe nga bwe baasooka okubeera.
And I will cause the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel to return, and will build them, as at the first.
8 Ndibalongoosa okubaggyako ebibi byonna bye bannyonoona era mbasonyiwe n’ekibi eky’okunjeemera.
And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, by which they have sinned against me; and I will pardon all their iniquities, by which they have sinned, 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.’
And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise, and an honor before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear all the good that I do to them: and they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and for all the prosperity that I procure 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
Thus saith the LORD; Again there shall be heard in this place, which ye say [shall be] desolate without man and without beast, [even] in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast,
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 them that shall say, Praise the LORD of hosts: for the LORD [is] good; for his mercy [endureth] for ever: [and] of them that shall bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause to return the captivity of the land, as at the first, saith 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.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Again in this place, which is desolate without man and without beast, and in all its cities, shall be 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 mountains, in the cities of the vale, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that counteth [them], saith 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, saith the LORD, that I will perform that good thing which I have promised to the house of Israel and to 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, will I cause the branch of righteousness to grow up to David; and he shall execute judgment 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 shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell in safety: and this [is the name] by which she shall be called, JEHOVAH 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 thus saith the LORD; David shall never want a man to sit upon 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.”
Neither shall the priests the Levites want a man before me to offer burnt-offerings, and to kindle meat-offerings, and to do sacrifice continually.
19 Ekigambo kya Mukama kyajjira Yeremiya nti,
And the word of the LORD 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,
Thus saith the LORD; If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, so that there should not be day and night in their season;
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] also may my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the 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 host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister to me.
23 Ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yeremiya nti,
Moreover the word of the LORD 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.
Considerest thou not what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which the LORD hath chosen, he hath even cast them off? thus they have despised 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,
Thus saith the LORD; If my covenant [is] not with day and night, [and 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 will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, [so] that I will not take [any] of his seed [to be] rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.
