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.
Imelene loMowabi, itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Maye ngeNebo, ngoba ichithiwe; iKiriyathayimi iyangekile, ithunjiwe; indawo ephakemeyo iyangekile, idilikile.
2 Mowaabu taddeyo kutenderezebwa; mu Kesuboni abantu balitegeka okugwa kwe, nga boogera nti, ‘Mujje, tumalewo ensi eyo.’ Nammwe, mmwe Madumeni mulisirisibwa, n’ekitala kirikugoberera.
Kakusayikuba khona udumo lukaMowabi eHeshiboni; baceba okubi bemelene layo, besithi: Wozani siyiqume ekubeni yisizwe; lawe Madimeni, uzathula, inkemba izakulandela.
3 Muwulirize emiranga egiva e Kolonayimu, okwonoonekerwa n’okuzikirizibwa okunene.
Ilizwi lokukhala livela eHoronayimi, incithakalo lokwephuka okukhulu!
4 Mowaabu alimenyebwa; abawere ne bakaaba.
UMowabi wephukile; abancinyane bakhe benze ukukhala kuzwakale.
5 Bakwata ekkubo erigenda e Lukisi, nga bwe bakungubaga ku luguudo olugenda e Kolonayimu, emiranga egy’okuzikirizibwa giwulirwa.
Ngoba ekwenyukeni kweLubithi ukukhala kuzakwenyuka lokukhala, ngoba ekwehleni kweHoronayimi izitha zizwile ukukhala kokuchitheka.
6 Mudduke! Muwonye obulamu bwammwe; mubeere ng’ebisaka mu ddungu.
Balekani, likhulule impilo yenu, libe njengesihlahla esiyize enkangala.
7 Kubanga mwesiga ebikolwa byammwe n’obugagga bwammwe, nammwe mulitwalibwa ng’abaddu, ne Kemosi alitwalibwa mu buwaŋŋanguse awamu ne bakabona be n’abakungu be.
Ngoba ngenxa yokuthembela kwakho emisebenzini yakho lemagugwini akho lawe uzathunjwa; loKemoshi uzaphumela ekuthunjweni, abapristi bakhe lezikhulu zakhe kanyekanye.
8 Omuzikiriza alirumba buli kibuga, era tewali kibuga kiriwona. Ekiwonvu kiryonoonebwa n’olusenyu luzikirizibwe kubanga Mukama ayogedde.
Lomchithi uzafikela wonke umuzi, njalo kakulamuzi ozaphunyuka; isihotsha laso sizachitheka, legceke liqothulwe, njengokutsho kweNkosi.
9 Muwe Mowaabu ebiwaawaatiro abuuke agende kubanga alifuuka matongo, ebibuga bye birizikirizibwa, nga tewali abibeeramu.
Nikani uMowabi amaphiko, ngoba uzaphapha aphume; lemizi yakhe izakuba lunxiwa, engelamhlali kuyo.
10 “Akolimirwe oyo agayaalira omulimu gwa Mukama Katonda. Akolimirwe oyo aziyiza ekitala kye okuyiwa omusaayi.
Uqalekisiwe lowo owenza umsebenzi weNkosi ngokunganakekeli; uqalekisiwe lalowo ogodla inkemba yakhe egazini.
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.
UMowabi wonwabile kusukela ebutsheni bakhe, uphumule enzeceni zakhe, kathululelwanga esuka embizeni esiya embizeni, kahambanga ekuthunjweni; ngakho-ke ukunambitheka kwakhe kumi kuye, lephunga lakhe kaliphenduki.
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.
Ngakho, khangela, insuku ziyeza, itsho iNkosi, lapho ngizathuma kuye abathambeki abazamthambeka, bathulule imbiza zakhe, babulale izinqayi zabo.
13 Awo Mowaabu alikwatibwa ensonyi olwa Kemosi, ng’ennyumba ya Isirayiri bwe yaswala bwe yeesiga Beseri.
Khona uMowabi uzakuba lenhloni ngoKemoshi, njengalokho indlu kaIsrayeli yaba lenhloni ngeBhetheli, ithemba layo.
14 “Oyinza otya okugamba nti, ‘Tuli balwanyi, abasajja abazira mu ntalo?’
Lingatsho njani ukuthi: Singamaqhawe lamadoda empi alamandla?
15 Mowaabu alizindibwa n’ebibuga bye ne bizikirizibwa; abavubuka be abato bagende battibwe,” bw’ayogera Kabaka, erinnya lye ye Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye.
UMowabi uchithiwe, wenyuka emizini yakhe, lekhethelo lamajaha akhe selehlele ekubulaweni, itsho iNkosi, obizo layo nguJehova wamabandla.
16 “Okugwa kwa Mowaabu kusembedde; akabi katuuse.
Inkathazo kaMowabi iseduze ukufika, lobubi bakhe buyaphangisa kakhulu.
17 Mumubeesebeese mwenna abamwetoolodde, mwenna abamanyi ettutumu lye; mugambe nti, ‘Ng’Omuggo ogw’amaanyi ogw’obwakabaka gumenyese, ng’oluga olw’ekitiibwa lumenyese!’
Mlileleni, lina lonke elimzingelezeleyo, lani lonke elazi ibizo lakhe; lithi: Yephuke njani induku elamandla, udondolo oluhle!
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.
Yehla ebukhosini, uhlale ekomeni, wena ndodakazi ohlala eDiboni; ngoba umchithi kaMowabi usenyukele ukumelana lawe, wachitha inqaba zakho.
19 Muyimirire ku luguudo mulabe, mmwe ababeera mu Aloweri. Mubuuze omusajja adduka, n’omukazi atoloka, mubabuuze nti, ‘Kiki ekiguddewo?’
Mana endleleni, ulinde, mhlalikazi weAroweri, ubuze obalekayo lowesifazana ophunyukileyo, uthi: Kwenzakaleni?
20 Mowaabu aswadde kubanga amenyesemenyese. Mukaabe muleekaane! Mulangiririre mu Alunoni nti Mowaabu kizikiridde.
UMowabi uyangekile, ngoba udilikile; qhinqani isililo likhale; libike eArinoni ukuthi uMowabi uchithiwe.
21 Okusala omusango kutuuse mu nsi ey’ensenyi ku Koloni ne ku Yaza ne ku Mefaasi,
Lesahlulelo sehlele phezu kwelizwe elilamagceke, phezu kweHoloni, laphezu kweJahaza, laphezu kweMefahathi,
22 ne ku Diboni, ne ku Nebo ne ku Besudibulasayimu,
laphezu kweDiboni, laphezu kweNebo, laphezu kweBeti-Dibilathayimi,
23 ne ku Kiriyasayimu ne ku Besugamuli ne ku Besumyoni;
laphezu kweKiriyathayimi, laphezu kweBeti-Gamuli, laphezu kweBeti-Meyoni,
24 ne ku Keriyoosi ne ku Bozula ne ku bibuga byonna eby’omu nsi ya Mowaabu ebiri ewala n’ebiri okumpi.
laphezu kweKeriyothi, laphezu kweBhozira, laphezu kwayo yonke imizi yelizwe lakoMowabi, ekhatshana leseduze.
25 Ejjembe lya Mowaabu lisaliddwako, n’omukono gwe gumenyese,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
Uphondo lukaMowabi luqunyiwe, lengalo yakhe yephukile, itsho iNkosi.
26 “Mumutamiize; kubanga ajeemedde Mukama. Ka Mowaabu yekulukuunyize mu bisesemye bye, era asekererwe.
Mdakiseni, ngoba ezikhulisile emelene leNkosi; uMowabi uzazibhixa emahlanzweni akhe, abe yinhlekisa, ngitsho yena.
27 Isirayiri tewagisekereranga? Baali bamukutte mu bubbi, olyoke onyeenye omutwe gwo ng’omusekerera buli lw’omwogerako?
Ngoba uIsrayeli kabanga yinhlekisa yini kuwe? Watholakala yini phakathi kwamasela? Ngoba kusukela ngesikhathi samazwi akho ngaye wanyikinya ikhanda.
28 Muve mu bibuga byammwe mubeere mu njazi, mmwe ababeera mu Mowaabu. Mubeere ng’ejjiba erikola ekisu kyalyo ku mumwa gw’empuku.
Tshiyani imizi, lihlale edwaleni, bahlali beMowabi, libe njengejuba elakha isidleke emaceleni omlomo womgodi.
29 “Tuwulidde amalala ga Mowaabu amalala ge agayitiridde n’okwemanya, okwewulira kwe era n’okweyisa kwe era n’okwegulumiza kwe okw’omutima.
Sizwile ngokuzigqaja kukaMowabi (uyazigqaja kakhulu), ukuziphakamisa kwakhe, lokuzigqaja kwakhe, lokuzikhukhumeza kwakhe, lokuphakama kwenhliziyo yakhe.
30 Mmanyi obusungu bwe obutaliimu,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, “okwenyumiriza kwe okutaliiko kye kugasa.
Mina ngiyayazi, itsho iNkosi, intukuthelo yakhe, kodwa kakuyikuba njalo; ukusoma kwakhe kakungenzi njalo.
31 Noolwekyo nkaabirira Mowaabu, olwa Mowaabu yenna nkaaba, nkungubagira abasajja ab’e Kirukeresi.
Ngalokho-ke ngizaqhinqa isililo ngoMowabi, yebo, ngikhale ngaye wonke uMowabi; bazabubula ngabantu beKiri-Heresi.
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.
Ngokukhala inyembezi kweJazeri ngizakukhalela inyembezi, wena vini leSibima. Ingatsha zakho zedlula ulwandle, zafinyelela elwandle lweJazeri; umchithi wehlele phezu kwezithelo zakho zehlobo lemavinini akho avuniweyo.
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.
Lokuthaba lentokozo kususiwe esivandeni lelizweni lakoMowabi; ngiqedile lewayini ezikhamelweni; kabayikunyathela ngomsindo wentokozo; umsindo wentokozo kawuyikuba ngumsindo wentokozo.
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.
Ngenxa yokukhala kweHeshiboni, kuze kube seEleyale, kuze kube seJahazi, bakhupha ilizwi labo, kusukela eZowari kuze kufike eJoronayimi, ithokazi leminyaka emithathu; ngoba lamanzi eNimirimi azakuba yincithakalo.
35 Ndiggyawo abo abawaayo ebiweebwayo mu bifo ebigulumivu e Mowaabu, ne bootereza n’obubaane eri bakatonda baabwe,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
Njalo ngizaqeda koMowabi, itsho iNkosi, lowo onikela endaweni ephakemeyo, lotshisela onkulunkulu bakhe impepha.
36 “Noolwekyo omutima gwange gukaabira Mowaabu ng’endere; gukaaba ng’endere olw’abasajja b’e Kirukesi. Obugagga bwe baafuna buweddewo.
Ngenxa yalokho inhliziyo yami izakhalela uMowabi njengemihubhe, lenhliziyo yami izakhala njengemihubhe ngabantu beKiri-Heresi; ngoba inotho ababeyizuzile ichithekile.
37 Buli mutwe mumwe na buli kirevu kisaliddwako; buli mukono gutemeddwako na buli kiwato kisibiddwamu ebibukutu.
Ngoba lonke ikhanda liyimpabanga, lazo zonke indevu zigeliwe; izandla zonke zisikiwe, lokhalweni kulesaka.
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.
Phezu kwazo zonke impahla zezindlu zakoMowabi lezitaladeni zakhe yonke indawo kulokuqhinqa isililo, ngoba ngimphahlazile uMowabi njengembiza engathokozelwayo, itsho iNkosi.
39 “Ng’amenyeddwamenyeddwa! Nga bakaaba! Mowaabu ng’akyusa omugongo gwe olw’obuswavu! Mowaabu afuuse kyakusekererwa, ekyekango eri bonna abamwetoolodde.”
Bazaqhinqa isililo besithi: Udilike njani! UMowabi uphendule njani umhlana elenhloni! Ngakho uMowabi waba yinhlekisa lesesabiso kuye wonke omzingelezeleyo.
40 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti: “Laba! Empungu ekka, ng’eyanjuluza ebiwaawaatiro byayo ku Mowaabu.
Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi: Khangela, uzaphapha ngesiqubu njengokhozi, elulele impiko zakhe phezu kukaMowabi.
41 Ebibuga birikwatibwa n’ebigo biwambibwe. Ku lunaku olwo emitima gy’abalwanyi ba Mowaabu giribeera ng’omutima gw’omukazi alumwa okuzaala.
Imizi ithunjiwe, lezinqaba zibanjiwe, lenhliziyo yamaqhawe akoMowabi ngalolosuku ibe njengenhliziyo yowesifazana ohelelwayo.
42 Mowaabu alizikirizibwa, kubanga yajeemera Mukama.
LoMowabi uzachithwa angabi yisizwe, ngoba wazikhulisa emelene leNkosi.
43 Entiisa n’obunnya n’omutego bibalindiridde, mmwe abantu ba Mowaabu,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
Ukwesaba lomgodi lomjibila kuphezu kwakho, mhlali wakoMowabi, itsho iNkosi.
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.
Obalekela ukwesaba uzawela emgodini, lowenyuka ephuma emgodini uzabanjwa ngumjibila; ngoba ngizakwehlisela phezu kwakhe, phezu kukaMowabi, umnyaka wempindiselo yabo, itsho iNkosi.
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.
Emthunzini weHeshiboni ababalekayo bayema bengelamandla, ngoba umlilo uphumile eHeshiboni, lelangabi livela phakathi kukaSihoni, njalo kudlile ingonsi yakoMowabi, lenkanda yabantwana besiphithiphithi.
46 Zikusanze ggwe, Mowaabu. Abantu b’e Kemosi bazikiridde, batabani bo batwaliddwa mu buwaŋŋanguse ne bawala bammwe mu busibe.
Maye kuwe, Mowabi! Abantu bakaKemoshi baphelile, ngoba amadodana akho athethwe asiwa ekuthunjweni, lamadodakazi akho ekuthunjweni.
47 “Ndikomyawo nate obugagga bwa Mowaabu mu nnaku ezijja,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. Omusango Mowaabu gw’asaliddwa gukoma wano.
Kodwa ngizabuyisa ukuthunjwa kukaMowabi ekucineni kwezinsuku, itsho iNkosi. Kuze kube lapha kuyisehlulelo sakoMowabi.
