Yeremiya 43
1 Yeremiya bwe yamala okutegeeza abantu ebigambo byonna Mukama Katonda waabwe bye yamutuma okubagamba,
And it comes to pass, when Jeremiah finishes speaking to all the people all the words of their God YHWH, with which their God YHWH has sent him to them—all these words—
2 Azaliya mutabani wa Kosaaya ne Yokanaani mutabani wa Kaleya n’abasajja bonna ab’amalala ne bagamba Yeremiya nti, “Olimba! Mukama Katonda wo takutumye kugamba nti, ‘Temugenda Misiri kusenga eyo.’
that Azariah son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan son of Kareah, and all the proud men, speak to Jeremiah, saying, “You are speaking falsehood; our God YHWH has not sent you to say, Do not enter Egypt to sojourn there;
3 Naye Baluki mutabani wa Neriya y’akusendasenda otugabule mu mukono gw’Abakaludaaya, batutte oba batutwale mu buwaŋŋanguse e Babulooni.”
for Baruch son of Neriah is moving you against us, in order to give us up into the hand of the Chaldeans, to put us to death, and to remove us to Babylon.”
4 Awo Yokanaani mutabani wa Kaleya n’abaduumizi ba magye bonna n’abantu bonna ne bajeemera ekiragiro kya Mukama eky’okusigala mu nsi ya Yuda.
And Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces, and all the people, have not listened to the voice of YHWH, to dwell in the land of Judah;
5 Yokanaani mutabani wa Kaleya n’abaduumizi ba magye ga Yuda bonna ne bakulembera abantu ba Yuda abaali basigaddewo nga bakomyewo okuva mu mawanga gonna gye baali baddukidde okubeera mu nsi ya Yuda.
and Johanan son of Kareah, and all the heads of the forces, take all the remnant of Judah who have turned from all the nations to where they were driven to sojourn in the land of Judah,
6 Ne batwala n’abasajja bonna, n’abakazi n’abaana n’abawala ba kabaka, Nebuzaladaani omuduumizi w’eggye lya kabaka w’e Babulooni be yali alekedde Gedaliya mutabani wa Akikamu, mutabani wa Safani, ne nnabbi Yeremiya ne Baluki mutabani wa Neriya.
the men, and the women, and the infant, and the daughters of the king, and every person that Nebuzar-Adan, chief of the executioners, had left with Gedaliah son of Ahikam, son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch son of Neriah,
7 Awo ne bayingira e Misiri nga bajeemedde Mukama, ne bagenda okutuukira ddala e Tapaneese.
and they enter the land of Egypt, for they have not listened to the voice of YHWH, and they come as far as Tahpanhes.
8 Bwe baba bali e Tapaneese, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yeremiya nti,
And there is a word of YHWH to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
9 “Twala amayinja amanene ogaziike mu bbumba mu lubalaza olw’amatoffaali ku mulyango gw’olubiri lwa Falaawo e Tapaneese, ng’Abayudaaya bonna balaba.
“Take great stones in your hand, and you have hidden them in the clay in the brick-kiln, that [is] at the opening of the house of Pharaoh in Tahpanhes, before the eyes of the men of Judah,
10 Obagambe nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, Nditumya omuddu wange Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni, era nditeeka entebe ye ey’obwakabaka ku mayinja gano ge nziise wano. Ku go kwalikuba eweema ye ey’obwakabaka.
and you have said to them, Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Behold, I am sending, and I have taken Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and I have set his throne above these stones that I have hid, and he has stretched out his pavilion over them,
11 Alijja n’alumba Misiri, atte abo ab’okufa, awambe n’abo ab’okuwambibwa, n’ab’okuttibwa n’ekitala battibwe n’ekitala.
and he has come, and struck the land of Egypt—those who [are] for death to death, and those who [are] for captivity to captivity, and those who [are] for the sword to the sword.
12 Alikoleeza omuliro ku masabo ga bakatonda b’e Misiri, n’abatwala mu busibe nga alese amasabo gaabwe agookezza. Ng’omulunzi w’endiga bwe yeezingirira ekyambalo kye, bw’atyo bw’alyezingirira ensi y’e Misiri n’avaayo nga tewali kabi konna kamutuuseeko.
And I have kindled a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt, and it has burned them, and he has taken them captive, and covered himself with the land of Egypt, as the shepherd covers himself with his garment, and he has gone forth there in peace;
13 Alimenyamenya empagi ezaawongebwa mu ssabo ly’enjuba mu Misiri, n’ayokya n’amasabo ga bakatonda b’e Misiri.’”
and he has broken the standing pillars of the house of the sun, that [is] in the land of Egypt, and he burns the houses of the gods of Egypt with fire.”
