Yeremiya 48
1 Ebikwata ku Mowaabu: Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, “Zikisanze Nebo, kubanga kijja kuzikirizibwa, Kiriyasayimu kiswale kiwambibwe, ekigo eky’amaanyi kijja kuswala kimenyebwe.
Of Moab. "Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Woe to Nebo, because it is about to be destroyed; Kiriathaim will be put to shame, it will be taken captive. The fortress is put to shame and broken down.
2 Mowaabu taddeyo kutenderezebwa; mu Kesuboni abantu balitegeka okugwa kwe, nga boogera nti, ‘Mujje, tumalewo ensi eyo.’ Nammwe, mmwe Madumeni mulisirisibwa, n’ekitala kirikugoberera.
The praise of Moab is no more; in Heshbon they have devised evil against her: "Come, and let us cut her off from being a nation." You also, Madmen, shall be brought to silence: the sword shall pursue you.
3 Muwulirize emiranga egiva e Kolonayimu, okwonoonekerwa n’okuzikirizibwa okunene.
The sound of a cry from Horonaim, "destruction and great calamity."
4 Mowaabu alimenyebwa; abawere ne bakaaba.
Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
5 Bakwata ekkubo erigenda e Lukisi, nga bwe bakungubaga ku luguudo olugenda e Kolonayimu, emiranga egy’okuzikirizibwa giwulirwa.
For by the ascent of Luhith with continual weeping shall they go up; for at the descent of Horonaim they have heard the distress of the cry of destruction.
6 Mudduke! Muwonye obulamu bwammwe; mubeere ng’ebisaka mu ddungu.
"Flee, save your lives, and be like a shrub in the wilderness."
7 Kubanga mwesiga ebikolwa byammwe n’obugagga bwammwe, nammwe mulitwalibwa ng’abaddu, ne Kemosi alitwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse awamu ne bakabona be n’abakungu be.
For, because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you also shall be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his officials together.
8 Omuzikiriza alirumba buli kibuga, era tewali kibuga kiriwona. Ekiwonvu kiryonoonebwa n’olusenyu luzikirizibwe kubanga Mukama ayogedde.
The destroyer shall come on every city, and no city shall escape; the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed; as Jehovah has spoken.
9 Muwe Mowaabu ebiwaawaatiro abuuke agende kubanga alifuuka matongo, ebibuga bye birizikirizibwa, nga tewali abibeeramu.
Give wings to Moab, that she may fly and get her away: and her cities shall become a desolation, without any to dwell in them.'
10 “Akolimirwe oyo agayaalira omulimu gwa Mukama Katonda. Akolimirwe oyo aziyiza ekitala kye okuyiwa omusaayi.
Cursed is he who does the work of Jehovah negligently; and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.
11 “Mowaabu abadde mirembe okuva mu buvubuka bwe, nga wayini gwe batasengezze, gwe bataggye mu kibya ekimu okumuyiwa mu kirala, tagenzeko mu buwaŋŋanguse. Kale awooma ng’edda, n’akawoowo ke tekakyukanga.
'Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his lees, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remains in him, and his scent is not changed.
12 Naye ennaku zijja,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, “lwe ndituma basajja bange abaggya wayini mu bibya, era balimuyiwa ebweru; balittulula ensuwa ze baase n’ebibya bye.
Therefore look, the days come,' says Jehovah, 'that I will send to him those who pour off, and they shall pour him off; and they shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles in pieces.
13 Awo Mowaabu alikwatibwa ensonyi olwa Kemosi, ng’ennyumba ya Isirayiri bwe yaswala bwe yeesiga Beseri.
Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.
14 “Oyinza otya okugamba nti, ‘Tuli balwanyi, abasajja abazira mu ntalo?’
How can you say, "We are mighty men, and valiant men for the war?"
15 Mowaabu alizindibwa n’ebibuga bye ne bizikirizibwa; abavubuka be abato bagende battibwe,” bw’ayogera Kabaka, erinnya lye ye Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye.
Moab is laid waste, and they are gone up into his cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter,' says the King, whose name is Jehovah of hosts.
16 “Okugwa kwa Mowaabu kusembedde; akabi katuuse.
The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hurries fast.
17 Mumubeesebeese mwenna abamwetoolodde, mwenna abamanyi ettutumu lye; mugambe nti, ‘Ng’Omuggo ogw’amaanyi ogw’obwakabaka gumenyese, ng’oluga olw’ekitiibwa lumenyese!’
All you who are around him, bemoan him, and all you who know his name; say, "How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod."
18 “Mukke muve mu kitiibwa kyammwe mutuule ku ttaka, mmwe abatuuze b’Omuwala w’e Diboni, kubanga oyo azikiriza Mowaabu alibajjira azikirize ebibuga byammwe ebya bbugwe.
You daughter who dwells in Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the destroyer of Moab has come up against you, he has destroyed your strongholds.
19 Muyimirire ku luguudo mulabe, mmwe ababeera mu Aloweri. Mubuuze omusajja adduka, n’omukazi atoloka, mubabuuze nti, ‘Kiki ekiguddewo?’
Inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and watch: ask him who flees, and her who escapes; say, "What has been done?"
20 Mowaabu aswadde kubanga amenyesemenyese. Mukaabe muleekaane! Mulangiririre mu Alunoni nti Mowaabu kizikiridde.
"Moab is disappointed; for it is broken down: wail and cry; tell it by the Arnon, that Moab is laid waste."
21 Okusala omusango kutuuse mu nsi ey’ensenyi ku Koloni ne ku Yaza ne ku Mefaasi,
Judgment has come on the plain country, on Holon, and on Jahzah, and on Mephaath,
22 ne ku Diboni, ne ku Nebo ne ku Besudibulasayimu,
and on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Beth Diblathaim,
23 ne ku Kiriyasayimu ne ku Besugamuli ne ku Besumyoni;
and on Kiriathaim, and on Beth Gamul, and on Beth Meon,
24 ne ku Keriyoosi ne ku Bozula ne ku bibuga byonna eby’omu nsi ya Mowaabu ebiri ewala n’ebiri okumpi.
and on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
25 Ejjembe lya Mowaabu lisaliddwako, n’omukono gwe gumenyese,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken,' says Jehovah.
26 “Mumutamiize; kubanga ajeemedde Mukama. Ka Mowaabu yekulukuunyize mu bisesemye bye, era asekererwe.
'Make him drunk; for he magnified himself against Jehovah: and Moab shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
27 Isirayiri tewagisekereranga? Baali bamukutte mu bubbi, olyoke onyeenye omutwe gwo ng’omusekerera buli lw’omwogerako?
For wasn't Israel a derision to you? Was he found among thieves? For as often as you speak of him, you shake your head.
28 Muve mu bibuga byammwe mubeere mu njazi, mmwe ababeera mu Mowaabu. Mubeere ng’ejjiba erikola ekisu kyalyo ku mumwa gw’empuku.
You inhabitants of Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock; and be like the dove that makes her nest over the mouth of the abyss.
29 “Tuwulidde amalala ga Mowaabu amalala ge agayitiridde n’okwemanya, okwewulira kwe era n’okweyisa kwe era n’okwegulumiza kwe okw’omutima.
We have heard of the pride of Moab--he is very proud--of his pride, and his vanity, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.
30 Mmanyi obusungu bwe obutaliimu,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, “okwenyumiriza kwe okutaliiko kye kugasa.
I know his wrath,' says Jehovah, 'that it is nothing; his boastings have worked nothing.
31 Noolwekyo nkaabirira Mowaabu, olwa Mowaabu yenna nkaaba, nkungubagira abasajja ab’e Kirukeresi.
therefore I will wail for Moab; yes, I will cry out for all Moab; I will mourn for the men of Kir Heres.
32 Nkukaabira ggwe amaziga, nga Yazeri bw’akaaba, ggwe omuzabbibu gw’e Sibuna. Amatabi gammwe geegolola okutuuka ku nnyanja; gatuuka ku nnyanja y’e Yazeri. Omuzikiriza agudde ku bibala byo ebyengedde era n’emizabbibu.
With more than the weeping of Jazer will I weep for you, vine of Sibmah: your branches passed over the sea, they reached even to Jazer; on your summer fruits and on your vintage the destroyer is fallen.
33 Essanyu n’okujaguza biggiddwa ku nnimiro ne ku bibanja bya Mowaabu. Nziyizza okukulukuta kwa wayini mu masogolero; tewali asogola ng’aleekaana olw’essanyu. Newaakubadde nga waliyo okuleekaana, okuleekaana okwo si kwa ssanyu.
Gladness and joy is taken away from the fruitful field and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to cease from the wine presses: none shall tread with shouting; the shouting shall be no shouting.
34 “Amaloboozi g’okukaaba kwabwe galinnye okuva e Kesuboni okutuuka ku Ereyale, n’okutuuka ku Yakazi. Okuva e Zowaali okutuuka e Kolanayimu n’e Egulasuserisiya, kubanga n’amazzi g’e Nimulimu gakalidde.
From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, even to Jahaz have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, to Eglath Shelishiyah: for the waters of Nimrim also shall become desolate.
35 Ndiggyawo abo abawaayo ebiweebwayo mu bifo ebigulumivu e Mowaabu, ne bootereza n’obubaane eri bakatonda baabwe,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
And I will cause to cease in Moab,' says Jehovah, 'the one who offers sacrifice upon the high place, and the one who burns incense to his gods.
36 “Noolwekyo omutima gwange gukaabira Mowaabu ng’endere; gukaaba ng’endere olw’abasajja b’e Kirukesi. Obugagga bwe baafuna buweddewo.
Therefore my heart sounds for Moab like pipes, and my heart sounds like pipes for the men of Kir Heres: therefore the abundance that he has gotten is perished.
37 Buli mutwe mumwe na buli kirevu kisaliddwako; buli mukono gutemeddwako na buli kiwato kisibiddwamu ebibukutu.
For every head is bald, and every beard clipped: on all the hands are cuttings, and on the waist sackcloth.
38 Ku buli kasolya ka nnyumba e Mowaabu ne mu bifo awakuŋŋaanirwa, tewaliwo kintu kirala wabula okukungubaga, kubanga njasizzayasizza Mowaabu ng’ekibya ekitaliiko akyagala,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
On all the housetops of Moab and in its streets there is lamentation every where; for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which none delights,' says Jehovah.
39 “Ng’amenyeddwamenyeddwa! Nga bakaaba! Mowaabu ng’akyusa omugongo gwe olw’obuswavu! Mowaabu afuuse kyakusekererwa, ekyekango eri bonna abamwetoolodde.”
How it is broken down. How they wail. How Moab has turned the back with shame. So shall Moab become a derision and a terror to all who are around him.'
40 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti: “Laba! Empungu ekka, ng’eyanjuluza ebiwaawaatiro byayo ku Mowaabu.
For thus says Jehovah: 'Look, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread out his wings against Moab.
41 Ebibuga birikwatibwa n’ebigo biwambibwe. Ku lunaku olwo emitima gy’abalwanyi ba Mowaabu giribeera ng’omutima gw’omukazi alumwa okuzaala.
Kerioth is taken, and the strongholds are seized, and the heart of the mighty men of Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42 Mowaabu alizikirizibwa, kubanga yajeemera Mukama.
Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against Jehovah.
43 Entiisa n’obunnya n’omutego bibalindiridde, mmwe abantu ba Mowaabu,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are on you, inhabitant of Moab, says Jehovah.
44 “Buli alidduka entiisa aligwa mu bunnya, n’oyo aliba avudde mu bunnya alikwatibwa omutego; kubanga ndireeta ku Mowaabu omwaka gw’okubonaabona kwe,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
He who flees from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he who gets up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring on him, even on Moab, the year of their visitation,' says Jehovah.
45 “Mu kisiikirize kya Kesuboni, abadduka mwe bayimirira nga tebalina maanyi, kubanga omuliro guvudde mu Kesuboni, ennimi z’omuliro wakati mu Sikoni, era gw’okezza ebyenyi bya Mowaabu, n’obuwanga bw’abo abaleekaana nga beewaanawaana.
'Those who fled stand without strength under the shadow of Heshbon; for a fire has gone forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the city of Sihon, and it has destroyed the forehead of Moab, and the crown of the sons of tumult.
46 Zikusanze ggwe, Mowaabu. Abantu b’e Kemosi bazikiridde, batabani bo batwaliddwa mu buwaŋŋanguse ne bawala bammwe mu busibe.
Woe to you, O Moab. The people of Chemosh is undone; for your sons are taken away captive, and your daughters into captivity.
47 “Ndikomyawo nate obugagga bwa Mowaabu mu nnaku ezijja,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. Omusango Mowaabu gw’asaliddwa gukoma wano.
Yet will I bring back the captivity of Moab in the latter days,' says Jehovah. Thus far is the judgment of Moab."
