< Yeremiya 46 >
1 Kino kye kigambo kya Mukama Katonda ekyajjira nnabbi Yeremiya ekikwata ku mawanga:
The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles;
2 Ebikwata ku Misiri: Buno bwe bubaka obukwata ku ggye lya Falaawo Neko kabaka w’e Misiri, eryawangulwa e Kalukemisi, Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni lye yakuba mu mwaka ogwokuna ogw’obufuzi bwa Yekoyakimu mutabani wa Yosiya kabaka wa Yuda ku Mugga Fulaati.
Against Egypt, against the army of Pharaohnecho king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon stroke in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah.
3 “Mutegeke engabo zammwe, ennene n’entono mukumbe okugenda mu lutalo!
Order all of you the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.
4 Mutegeke embalaasi muzeebagale! Muyimirire mu bifo byammwe n’esseppeewo zammwe! Muzigule amafumu, mwambale ebizibaawo eby’ebyuma!
Harness the horses; and get up, all of you horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; polish the spears, and put on the protective armor.
5 Kiki kye ndaba? Batidde, badda ennyuma, abalwanyi baabwe bawanguddwa. Badduka mu bwangu awatali kutunula mabega, era waliwo okufa ku buli luuyi,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
Wherefore have I seen them dismayed and turned away back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled swiftly, and look not back: for fear was round about, says the LORD.
6 “Abawenyusi b’embiro tebasobola kuwona n’ab’amaanyi tebasobola kwewonya. Beesittala ne bagwa mu bukiikakkono obw’Omugga Fulaati.
Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates.
7 “Ani oyo ayimuka ng’omugga Kiyira, ng’emigga egy’amazzi agabimba?
Who is this that comes up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers?
8 Misiri eyimuka nga Kiyira, ng’emigga egy’amazzi agabimba. Agamba nti, ‘Ndisituka ne mbuutikira ensi yonna. Ndizikiriza ebibuga n’abantu baabyo.’
Egypt rises up like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he says, I will go up, and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and the inhabitants thereof.
9 Mulumbe, mmwe embalaasi! Muzidduse n’amaanyi, mmwe abalwanyi b’oku mbalaasi! Mukumbe mmwe abalwanyi, abasajja b’e Kuusi ne Puuti abeettika engabo, abasajja b’e Luudi abakozesa obusaale.
Come up, all of you horses; and rage, all of you chariots; and let the mighty men come forth; the Ethiopians and the Libyans, that handle the shield; and the Lydians, that handle and bend the bow.
10 Naye olunaku olwo lwa Mukama, Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, olunaku olw’okuwalanirako eggwanga, olw’okusalira abalabe omusango. Ekitala kijja kulya nga kimaliddwa, okutuusa nga kyemazeeko ennyonta y’omusaayi. Kubanga Mukama, Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, alibawaayo babeere ng’ekiweebwayo mu nsi ey’obukiikakkono ku Mugga Fulaati.
For this is the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiate and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
11 “Genda e Gireyaadi ofune eddagala ery’okusaaba, ggwe Omuwala Embeerera owa Misiri. Naye mwongerera bwereere obujjanjabi; temujja kuwonyezebwa.
Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shall you use many medicines; for you shall not be cured.
12 Amawanga gajja kuwulira obuswavu bwammwe; emiranga gyammwe gijja kujjuza ensi. Omulwanyi omu alitomera omulala bombi ne bagwa.”
The nations have heard of your shame, and your cry has filled the land: for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty, and they are fallen both together.
13 Buno bwe bubaka Mukama Katonda bwe yayogera eri nnabbi Yeremiya ku bikwata ku kujja kwa Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni okulumba Misiri:
The word that the LORD spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come and strike the land of Egypt.
14 “Langirira kino mu Misiri, era okyogere e Migudooli; kirangirire e Tapaneese ne Noofu nti, ‘Muyimirire mu bifo byammwe mwetegeke kubanga ekitala kirya abo ababeetoolodde.’
Declare all of you in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say all of you, Stand fast, and prepare you; for the sword shall devour round about you.
15 Lwaki abalwanyi bo bagudde wansi? Tebasobola kuyimirira, kubanga Mukama Katonda ajja kubasindika wansi.
Why are your valiant men swept away? they stood not, because the LORD did drive them.
16 Balyesittala emirundi egiwera; baligwiragana. Bagambe nti, ‘Yimuka, tuddeyo eri abantu baffe era n’ensi zaffe, tuve awali ekitala ky’oyo atunyigiriza.’
He made many to fall, yea, one fell upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.
17 Eyo gye baliwowogganira nti, ‘Falaawo kabaka w’e Misiri mulekaanyi bulekaanyi afiiriddwa omukisa gwe.’
They did cry there, Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he has passed the time appointed.
18 “Nga bwe ndi omulamu,” bw’ayogera oyo Kabaka ayitibwa Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye, “Waliwo alijja ali nga Taboli wakati mu nsozi, nga Kulumeeri ku nnyanja.
As I live, says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts, Surely as Tabor is among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, so shall he comes.
19 Musibe engugu zammwe muwaŋŋanguke, mmwe abali mu Misiri kubanga Noofu kirifuuka matongo, ekiryaawo omutali bantu.
O you daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish yourself to go into captivity: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant.
20 “Misiri nte nduusi nnungi nnyo, naye kawawa avudde mu bukiikakkono azze okumulumba.
Egypt is like a very fair heifer, but destruction comes; it comes out of the north.
21 N’abajaasi be abapangise bagezze ng’ennyana. Nabo bajja kukyuka badduke, tebaasobole kuyimirirawo, kubanga olunaku olw’ekikangabwa lubajjira, ekiseera kyabwe eky’okubonerezebwa kisembedde.
Also her hired men are in the midst of her like fatted bullocks; for they also are turned back, and are fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity was come upon them, and the time of their visitation.
22 Misiri alikaaba ng’omusota ogudduka, omulabe alimulumba mu maanyi, amujjire n’embazzi, ng’abatemi b’emiti.
The voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.
23 Balitema ekibira kye,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, “newaakubadde nga kikutte nnyo. Bangi n’okusinga enzige, tebasobola kubalika.
They shall cut down her forest, says the LORD, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and are innumerable.
24 Muwala wa Misiri aliswazibwa, aweebweyo mu mukono gw’abo abava mu bukiikakkono.”
The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
25 Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri, agamba nti, “Nnaatera okuleeta ekibonerezo ku Amoni katonda w’e Tebeesi, ne ku Falaawo, ne ku Misiri, ne ku bakatonda be, ne ku bakabaka be, ne ku abo abeesiga Falaawo.
The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, says; Behold, I will punish the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods, and their kings; even Pharaoh, and all them that trust in him:
26 Ndibawaayo eri abo abaagala okubatta, eri Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni n’abakungu be. Wabula oluvannyuma, Misiri eribeeramu abantu nga bwe yali edda,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
And I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, says the LORD.
27 “Totya, ggwe Yakobo omuweereza wange; toggwaamu maanyi, ggwe Isirayiri. Ddala ddala ndikununula okuva mu kifo eky’ewala, n’ezzadde lyo ndinunule okuva mu nsi ey’obuwaŋŋanguse bwalyo. Yakobo aliddamu okufuna emirembe n’atebenkera, era tewali alimutiisa.
But fear not you, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save you from far off, and your seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
28 Totya, ggwe Yakobo omuddu wange, kubanga ndi naawe,” bw’ayogera Mukama. “Wadde nga nazikiririza ddala amawanga gonna gye nabasaasaanyiza, naye mmwe siribazikiririza ddala. Ndibabonereza naye mu bwenkanya; siribaleka nga temubonerezebbwa.”
Fear you not, O Jacob my servant, says the LORD: for I am with you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven you: but I will not make a full end of you, but correct you in measure; yet will I not leave you wholly unpunished.
