< Yeremiya 43 >

1 Yeremiya bwe yamala okutegeeza abantu ebigambo byonna Mukama Katonda waabwe bye yamutuma okubagamba,
And it was when had finished Jeremiah to speak to all the people all [the] words of Yahweh God their which he had sent him Yahweh God their to them all the words these.
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.’
And he said Azariah [the] son of Hoshaiah and Johanan [the] son of Kareah and all the people arrogant saying to Jeremiah falsehood you [are] speaking not he has sent you Yahweh God our saying not you must go 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 [the] son of Neriah [is] inciting you against us so as to give us in [the] hand of the Chaldeans to put to death us and to take into exile us 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 not he listened Johanan [the] son of Kareah and all [the] commanders of the armies and all the people to [the] voice of Yahweh to remain 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 he took Johanan [the] son of Kareah and all [the] commanders of the armies all [the] remnant of Judah who they had come back from all the nations where they had been driven away there 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 little one[s] and [the] daughters of the king and every person whom he had left Nebuzaradan [the] chief of [the] bodyguards with Gedaliah [the] son of Ahikam [the] son of Shaphan and Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch [the] son of Neriah.
7 Awo ne bayingira e Misiri nga bajeemedde Mukama, ne bagenda okutuukira ddala e Tapaneese.
And they went [the] land of Egypt for not they had listened to [the] voice of Yahweh and they came to Tahpanhes.
8 Bwe baba bali e Tapaneese, ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yeremiya nti,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh 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 in hand your stones large and you will hide them in the mortar in the brick-terrace which [is] at [the] entrance of [the] house of Pharaoh in Tahpanhes to [the] eyes of [the] people Jews.
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 will say to them thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel here I [am] about to send and I will fetch Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon servant my and I will set throne his from above the stones these which I have hidden and he will spread out (state tent his *Q(K)*) 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 will come *Q(K)*) and he will attack [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 will kindle fire in [the] houses of [the] gods of Egypt and he will burn them and he will take captive them and he will delouse [the] land of Egypt just as he delouses the shepherd garment his and he will go out from there in peace.
13 Alimenyamenya empagi ezaawongebwa mu ssabo ly’enjuba mu Misiri, n’ayokya n’amasabo ga bakatonda b’e Misiri.’”
And he will break [the] sacred pillars of Beth Shemesh which [is] in [the] land of Egypt and [the] houses of [the] gods of Egypt he will burn with fire.
