Yeremiya 36
1 Mu mwaka ogwokuna ogw’obufuzi bwa Yekoyakimu mutabani wa Yosiya kabaka wa Yuda ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yeremiya nga kigamba nti,
And it came to pass in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
2 “Twala omuzingo gw’empapula oguwandiikeko ebigambo byonna bye njogedde naawe ebikwata ku Isirayiri, ne Yuda n’amawanga gonna okuva mu biseera bye natandika okwogera naawe okuva mu bufuzi bwa Yosiya okutuusa kaakano.
Take thee a scroll of a book, and write in it all the words that I have spoken to thee against Israel, and against Judah, and against all the nations, from the day I spoke to thee, from the days of Josiah, even to this day.
3 Oboolyawo abantu ba Yuda bwe banaawulira ku bikangabwa bye ntegeka okubateekako, buli omu ku bo anaakyuka okuleka amakubo ge amabi, ndyoke mbasonyiwe ebibi byabwe n’obutali butuukirivu bwabwe.”
It may be that the house of Judah will hear all the evil which I purpose to do to them; that they may return every man from his evil way; that I may forgive their iniquity and their sin.
4 Awo Yeremiya n’ayita Baluki mutabani wa Neriya, era nga Yeremiya ayogera ebigambo byonna Mukama bye yali ayogedde naye, Baluki n’abiwandiika ku muzingo.
Then Jeremiah called Baruch the son of Neriah: and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the LORD, which he had spoken to him, upon a scroll of a book.
5 Awo Yeremiya n’agamba Baluki nti, “Nagaanibwa okugenda mu nnyumba ya Mukama.
And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of the LORD:
6 Kale laga mu nnyumba ya Mukama ku lunaku olw’okusiiba osomere abantu ebigambo bya Mukama ebiri ku muzingo by’owandiise nga njogera. Bisomere abantu ba Yuda bonna abava mu bibuga byabwe.
Therefore go thou, and read in the scroll, which thou hast written from my mouth, the words of the LORD in the ears of the people in the LORD’S house upon the day of fasting: and also thou shalt read them in the ears of all Judah that come out of their cities.
7 Oboolyawo banaaleeta okwegayirira kwabwe eri Mukama, era buli omu anaava mu makubo ge amabi, kubanga obusungu n’ekiruyi Mukama by’agambye okutuusa ku bantu bano binene nnyo.”
It may be they will present their supplication before the LORD, and will return every one from his evil way: for great is the anger and the fury that the LORD hath pronounced against this people.
8 Baluki mutabani wa Neriya n’akola byonna nnabbi Yeremiya bye yamugamba okukola; n’asomera, ebigambo bya Mukama okuva mu muzingo, mu yeekaalu ya Mukama.
And Baruch the son of Neriah did according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, reading in the book the words of the LORD in the LORD’S house.
9 Mu mwezi ogwomwenda ogw’omwaka ogwokutaano ogw’obufuzi bwa Yekoyakimu mutabani wa Yosiya kabaka wa Yuda, ekiseera eky’okusiibira mu maaso ga Mukama kyalangirirwa eri abantu bonna mu Yerusaalemi era n’abo abaali bavudde mu bibuga bya Yuda.
And it came to pass in the fifth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, that they proclaimed a fast before the LORD to all the people in Jerusalem, and to all the people that came from the cities of Judah to Jerusalem.
10 Awo ng’abantu bonna bawulira, Baluki n’asoma ebigambo bya Yeremiya okuva mu muzingo, mu nnyumba ya Mukama ng’ali mu kisenge kya Gemaliya mutabani wa Safani omuwandiisi, ekyali mu luggya olw’ekyengulu, mu mulyango omuggya ogw’ennyumba ya Mukama ng’abantu bonna bawulira.
Then Baruch read in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of the LORD, in the chamber of Gemariah the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher court, at the entrance of the new gate of the LORD’S house, in the ears of all the people.
11 Mikaaya mutabani wa Gemaliya mutabani wa Safani bwe yawulira ebigambo bya Mukama byonna ebyali mu muzingo,
When Michaiah the son of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the words of the LORD,
12 n’agenda eri ennyumba y’omuwandiisi mu lubiri lwa kabaka, abakungu bonna gye baali batudde: Erisaama omuwandiisi, ne Deraya mutabani wa Semaaya, ne Erunasani mutabani wa Akubooli, ne Gemaliya mutabani wa Safani, ne Zeddekiya mutabani wa Kananiya, n’abakungu bonna abalala.
Then he went down into the king’s house, into the scribe’s chamber: and, lo, all the princes sat there, even Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan the son of Achbor, and Gemariah the son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the princes.
13 Mikaaya ng’ababuulidde byonna bye yali awulidde Baluki asomera abantu okuva ku muzingo,
Then Michaiah declared to them all the words that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the ears of the people.
14 abakungu bonna ne batuma Yekudi mutabani wa Nesaniya, mutabani wa Seremiya mutabani wa Kuusi eri Baluki amugambe nti, “Leeta omuzingo gw’osomedde abantu, naawe ojje.” Awo Baluki mutabani wa Neriya n’atwalira omuzingo mu mikono gye n’agubaleetera.
Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, Take in thy hand the scroll in which thou hast read in the ears of the people, and come. So Baruch the son of Neriah took the scroll in his hand, and came to them.
15 Ne bamugamba nti, “Tuula wansi, ogutusomere.” Awo Baluki n’agubasomera.
And they said to him, Sit down now, and read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears.
16 Bwe baawulira ebigambo ebyo byonna, buli omu n’atunula ku munne ng’atidde ne bagamba Baluki nti, “Tuteekwa okubuulira kabaka ebigambo bino byonna.”
Now it came to pass, when they had heard all the words, they were afraid both one and another, and said to Baruch, We will surely tell the king of all these words.
17 Awo ne babuuza Baluki nti, “Tubuulire, wazze otya okuwandiika bino byonna? Yeremiya ye yabikugambye?”
And they asked Baruch, saying, Tell us now, How didst thou write all these words at his mouth?
18 Baluki n’abaddamu nti, “Weewaawo ye yayogedde ebigambo bino byonna, nze ne mbiwandiika ne bwino ku muzingo.”
Then Baruch answered them, He pronounced all these words to me with his mouth, and I wrote them with ink in the book.
19 Awo abakungu bonna ne bagamba Baluki nti, “Ggwe ne Yeremiya mugende mwekweke. Temukkiriza muntu yenna kumanya gye muli.”
Then said the princes to Baruch, Go, hide thyself, thou and Jeremiah; and let no man know where ye are.
20 Bwe baamala okutereka omuzingo mu kisenge kya Erisaama omuwandiisi, ne bagenda eri kabaka mu luggya ne bamutegeeza byonna.
And they went in to the king into the court, but they laid up the scroll in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and told all the words in the ears of the king.
21 Kabaka n’atuma Yekudi okuleeta omuzingo, Yekudi n’aguleeta okuva mu kisenge kya Erisaama omuwandiisi agusomere kabaka n’abakungu bonna abaali bamuyimiridde ku lusegere.
So the king sent Jehudi to bring the scroll: and he took it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the princes who stood beside the king.
22 Gwali mwezi gwa mwenda ne kabaka yali atudde mu nnyumba etuulwamu mu budde obw’obutiti, ng’omuliro gwakira mu kibya kyagwo mu maaso ge.
Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the ninth month: and there was a fire on the hearth burning before him.
23 Buli Yekudi lwe yasomangako empapula ssatu oba nnya ez’omuzingo, kabaka ng’azisala n’akambe k’omuwandiisi n’azisuula mu muliro okutuusa omuzingo gwonna lwe gwajjiira mu muliro.
And it came to pass, that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the scribe’s penknife, and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire that was on the hearth.
24 Kabaka n’abantu bonna abaawulira ebigambo bino tebaatya, wadde okuyuza engoye zaabwe.
Yet they were not afraid, nor tore their garments, neither the king, nor any of his servants that heard all these words.
25 Newaakubadde nga Erunasani, ne Deraaya ne Gemaliya beegayirira kabaka obutayokya muzingo, teyabawuliriza.
Nevertheless Elnathan and Delaiah and Gemariah had made intercession to the king that he would not burn the scroll: but he would not hear them.
26 Naye kabaka yalagira Yerameeri mutabani wa kabaka ne Seraya mutabani wa Azulyeri ne Seremiya mutabani wa Abudeeri okukwata Baluki omuwandiisi ne nnabbi Yeremiya, wabula Mukama ng’abakwese.
But the king commanded Jerahmeel the son of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet: but the LORD hid them.
27 Kabaka ng’amaze okwokya omuzingo ogwalimu ebigambo Baluki bye yali awandiise nga Yeremiya abyogera, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yeremiya nti,
Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah, after that the king had burned the scroll, and the words which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, saying,
28 “Twala omuzingo omulala oguwandiikeko ebigambo byonna ebyali ku muzingo ogwasooka, Yekoyakimu kabaka wa Yuda gwe yayokya.
Take thee again another scroll, and write in it all the former words that were in the first scroll, which Jehoiakim king of Judah hath burned.
29 Gamba ne Yekoyakimu kabaka wa Yuda nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, Wayokya omuzingo ogwo n’ogamba nti, “Lwaki wakiwandiikamu nti kabaka w’e Babulooni alijja azikiririze ddala ensi eno agimalemu abantu n’ensolo?”
And thou shalt say to Jehoiakim king of Judah, Thus saith the LORD; Thou hast burned this scroll, saying, Why hast thou written in it, saying, The king of Babylon shall certainly come and destroy this land, and shall cause to cease from there man and beast?
30 Noolwekyo bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama eri Yekoyakimu kabaka wa Yuda nti, Tajja kubeera na muntu n’omu kutuula ku ntebe ya Dawudi, n’omulambo gwe gulisuulibwa ebweru gwanikibwe mu musana emisana ne mu butiti ekiro.
Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah; He shall have none to sit upon the throne of David: and his dead body shall be cast out in the day to the heat, and in the night to the frost.
31 Ndimubonereza n’abaana be, ne bakalabaalaba be olw’okwonoona kwabwe. Ndimuleetako ne bonna ababeera mu Yerusaalemi ne bonna ababeera mu Yuda buli kibonoobono kye naboogerako, kubanga tebawulirizza.’”
And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them; but they hearkened not.
32 Olwo Yeremiya n’atwala omuzingo omulala n’aguwa omuwandiisi Baluki mutabani wa Neriya; nga Yeremiya ayogera, Baluki yawandiikamu ebigambo byonna ebyali mu muzingo guli Yekoyakimu kabaka wa Yuda gwe yayokya mu muliro. N’ebigambo bingi ebifaanana bwe bityo byayongerwamu.
Then Jeremiah took another scroll, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah; who wrote in it from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book which Jehoiakim king of Judah had burned in the fire: and there were besides added to them many like words.
