Yeremiya 46
1 Kino kye kigambo kya Mukama Katonda ekyajjira nnabbi Yeremiya ekikwata ku mawanga:
Ilizwi leNkosi elafika kuJeremiya umprofethi limelene labezizwe;
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.
limelene leGibhithe, limelene lebutho likaFaro Neko inkosi yeGibhithe, elalingasemfuleni iYufrathi, eKarikemishi, alitshayayo uNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni, ngomnyaka wesine kaJehoyakhimi, indodana kaJosiya, inkosi yakoJuda:
3 “Mutegeke engabo zammwe, ennene n’entono mukumbe okugenda mu lutalo!
Hlelani ihawu lesihlangu, lisondele empini.
4 Mutegeke embalaasi muzeebagale! Muyimirire mu bifo byammwe n’esseppeewo zammwe! Muzigule amafumu, mwambale ebizibaawo eby’ebyuma!
Bophelani amabhiza, ligade, bagadi bamabhiza, lizimise lilezingowane, lilole imikhonto, ligqoke amabhatshi ensimbi.
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.
Ngibaboneleni betshaywa luvalo, bebuyela emuva? Lamaqhawe abo ephulaphuliwe, ayabaleka ngesiqubu, kawanyemukuli emuva; kulokwesaba inhlangothi zonke, itsho iNkosi.
6 “Abawenyusi b’embiro tebasobola kuwona n’ab’amaanyi tebasobola kwewonya. Beesittala ne bagwa mu bukiikakkono obw’Omugga Fulaati.
Olejubane kangabaleki, leqhawe kalingaphunyuki; bazakhubeka bawele ngenyakatho eceleni komfula iYufrathi.
7 “Ani oyo ayimuka ng’omugga Kiyira, ng’emigga egy’amazzi agabimba?
Ngubani lo okhukhumala njengesifula, omanzi aso aqubuka njengomfula?
8 Misiri eyimuka nga Kiyira, ng’emigga egy’amazzi agabimba. Agamba nti, ‘Ndisituka ne mbuutikira ensi yonna. Ndizikiriza ebibuga n’abantu baabyo.’
IGibhithe ikhukhumala njengesifula, lamanzi aqubuka njengemifula; ithi: Ngizakhukhumala, ngiwusibekele umhlaba, ngichithe umuzi labahlala kiwo.
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.
Yenyukani mabhiza, lihlanye zinqola; kawaphume amaqhawe; amaEthiyophiya, lamaPuti aphatha isihlangu, lamaLudi aphatha anyathela idandili.
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.
Ngoba lolu lusuku lweNkosi uJehova wamabandla, usuku lwempindiselo, ukuthi iziphindisele ezitheni zayo; lenkemba izakudla, isuthe, idakwe ligazi labo; ngoba iNkosi uJehova wamabandla ilomhlatshelo elizweni lenyakatho ngasemfuleni iYufrathi.
11 “Genda e Gireyaadi ofune eddagala ery’okusaaba, ggwe Omuwala Embeerera owa Misiri. Naye mwongerera bwereere obujjanjabi; temujja kuwonyezebwa.
Yenyukela eGileyadi, uyethatha ibhalisamu, ntombi emsulwa, ndodakazi yeGibhithe; imithi uyandisela ize, kakulakwelatshwa kuwe.
12 Amawanga gajja kuwulira obuswavu bwammwe; emiranga gyammwe gijja kujjuza ensi. Omulwanyi omu alitomera omulala bombi ne bagwa.”
Izizwe zizwile ihlazo lakho, lomhlaba ugcwele ukukhala kwakho; ngoba akhubekile, iqhawe limelene leqhawe, womabili awele phansi ndawonye.
13 Buno bwe bubaka Mukama Katonda bwe yayogera eri nnabbi Yeremiya ku bikwata ku kujja kwa Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni okulumba Misiri:
Ilizwi iNkosi eyalikhuluma kuJeremiya umprofethi ngokuza kukaNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni ukutshaya ilizwe leGibhithe:
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.’
Memezelani eGibhithe, lizwakalise eMigidoli, lizwakalise eNofi leThahaphanesi, lithi: Zimise, uzilungiselele, ngoba inkemba izakudla inhlangothi zonke zakho.
15 Lwaki abalwanyi bo bagudde wansi? Tebasobola kuyimirira, kubanga Mukama Katonda ajja kubasindika wansi.
Kungani amadoda akho alamandla ekhukhuliwe? Kawemanga ngoba iNkosi iwafuqile.
16 Balyesittala emirundi egiwera; baligwiragana. Bagambe nti, ‘Yimuka, tuddeyo eri abantu baffe era n’ensi zaffe, tuve awali ekitala ky’oyo atunyigiriza.’
Yandisa abakhubekayo, yebo, omunye wawela phezu komunye; basebesithi: Sukumani, sibuyele ebantwini bakithi, lelizweni lokuzalwa kwethu, sisuke enkembeni ecindezelayo.
17 Eyo gye baliwowogganira nti, ‘Falaawo kabaka w’e Misiri mulekaanyi bulekaanyi afiiriddwa omukisa gwe.’
Bamemeza khona, bathi: UFaro inkosi yeGibhithe ungumsindo; udlulise isikhathi esimisiweyo.
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.
Kuphila kwami, itsho iNkosi, obizo layo yiNkosi yamabandla: Isibili njengeThabhori phakathi kwezintaba lanjengeKharmeli ngaselwandle uzafika.
19 Musibe engugu zammwe muwaŋŋanguke, mmwe abali mu Misiri kubanga Noofu kirifuuka matongo, ekiryaawo omutali bantu.
Zenzele izikhali zokuthunjwa, ndodakazi ehlala eGibhithe; ngoba iNofi izakuba yincithakalo, itshiswe, kungabi lomhlali.
20 “Misiri nte nduusi nnungi nnyo, naye kawawa avudde mu bukiikakkono azze okumulumba.
IGibhithe ilithokazi elihle kakhulu; isibawu siyeza, sivela enyakatho.
21 N’abajaasi be abapangise bagezze ng’ennyana. Nabo bajja kukyuka badduke, tebaasobole kuyimirirawo, kubanga olunaku olw’ekikangabwa lubajjira, ekiseera kyabwe eky’okubonerezebwa kisembedde.
Labaqhatshiweyo bayo phakathi kwayo banjengethole lesibaya; ngoba labo baphendukile, babaleka kanyekanye; kabemanga, ngoba usuku lokuhlupheka kwabo lubehlele, isikhathi sempindiselo yabo.
22 Misiri alikaaba ng’omusota ogudduka, omulabe alimulumba mu maanyi, amujjire n’embazzi, ng’abatemi b’emiti.
Ilizwi layo lizahamba njengenyoka; ngoba bazahamba lebutho, beze kuyo belamahloka, njengabagamuli bezihlahla.
23 Balitema ekibira kye,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, “newaakubadde nga kikutte nnyo. Bangi n’okusinga enzige, tebasobola kubalika.
Bagamule ihlathi layo, itsho iNkosi, lanxa lingephenywe, ngoba banengi okwedlula isikhonyane, kabalakubalwa.
24 Muwala wa Misiri aliswazibwa, aweebweyo mu mukono gw’abo abava mu bukiikakkono.”
Indodakazi yamaGibhithe izayangeka, izanikelwa esandleni sabantu benyakatho.
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.
INkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, ithi: Khangela, ngizajezisa uAmoni weNo, loFaro, leGibhithe, labonkulunkulu bayo, lamakhosi ayo, yebo uFaro labathembela kuye.
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.
Ngibanikele esandleni salabo abadinga impilo yabo, lesandleni sikaNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni, lesandleni senceku zakhe; lemva kwalokho ihlalwe njengensukwini zendulo, itsho iNkosi.
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.
Kodwa wena, ungesabi, nceku yami Jakobe, ungatshaywa luvalo, Israyeli, ngoba khangela, ngizakusindisa usekhatshana, lenzalo yakho elizweni lokuthunjwa kwayo; uJakobe uzaphenduka-ke, athule, onwabe, njalo kakho ozamethusa.
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.”
Wena, ungesabi, nceku yami Jakobe, itsho iNkosi, ngoba ngilawe; ngoba ngizaqeda ngokupheleleyo zonke izizwe engikuxotshele kuzo, kodwa kangiyikukuqeda ngokupheleleyo, ngikukhuze ngokufaneleyo, kodwa kangiyikukuyekela lokukuyekela ungajeziswanga.
