Yeremiya 49
1 Ebikwata ku baana ba Amoni bye bino. Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “Isirayiri terina baana balenzi? Terina basika? Lwaki Malukamu atutte Gaadi? Lwaki abantu be batutte ebibuga by’e Gaadi?
Then came all the leaders of the host, and Joanan, and Azarias the son of Maasaeas, and all the people great and small,
2 Naye ennaku zijja,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, “lwe ndiraya eŋŋoma ezirangirira olutalo ku Labba eky’abawala ba Amoni. Kirifuuka ntuumu ya mafunfugu, n’ebyalo ebiriraanyeewo byokebwe omuliro. Isirayiri eryoke egobere ebweru abo abagigoba,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
to Jeremias the prophet, and said to him, Let now our supplication come before thy face, and pray thou to the Lord thy God for this remnant; for we are left few out of many, as thine eyes see.
3 “Kaaba, ggwe Kesuboni, kubanga Ayi kizikiridde! Mukaabe mmwe abatuuze b’omu Labba! Mwesibe ebibukutu mukungubage. Mudduke mudde eno n’eri mu bisenge by’ekibuga, kubanga Malukamu alitwalibwa mu busibe, awamu ne bakabona n’abakungu.
And let the Lord thy God declare to us the way wherein we should walk, and the thing which we should do.
4 Lwaki mwenyumiriza olw’ebiwonvu byammwe, ne mwenyumiriza olw’ebiwonvu ebigimu? Ggwe omuwala atali mwesigwa, weesiga obugagga bwo n’ogamba nti, ‘Ani alinnumba?’
And Jeremias said to them, I have heard [you]; behold, I will pray for you to the Lord our God, according to your words; and it shall come to pass, [that] whatsoever word the Lord God shall answer, I will declare [it] to you; I will not hide anything from you.
5 Ndikuleetako entiisa, okuva mu abo bonna abakwetoolodde,” bw’ayogera Mukama, Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye. “Buli omu ku mmwe aligobebwa, era tewali n’omu alikuŋŋaanya abadduka.
And they said to Jeremias, Let the Lord be between us for a just and faithful witness, if we do not according to every word which the Lord shall send to us.
6 “Naye oluvannyuma ndikomyawo nate omukisa gy’abaana ba Amoni,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
And whether [it be] good, or whether [it be] evil, we will hearken to the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us, because we shall hearken to the voice of the Lord our God.
7 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye nti, “Tewakyali magezi mu Temani? Abeegendereza babuliddwa okutegeera? Amagezi gaabwe gaweddemu ensa?
And it came to pass after ten days, [that] the word of the Lord came to Jeremias.
8 Mukyuke mudduke mwekweke mu mpuku eziri ewala mmwe abatuuze b’e Dedani, kubanga ndireeta ekikangabwa ku Esawu, mu kiseera bwe ndimubonerereza.
And he called Joanan, and the leaders of the host, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
9 Abanozi b’emizabbibu singa bazze gy’oli, tebandikuleseeko mizabbibu mibale bubazi? Singa ababbi bazze ekiro, tebandibbye byonna bye beetaaga?
and he said to them, Thus saith the Lord;
10 Naye ndyambula Esawu mwerule; ndizuula ebifo bye mwe yeekweka, aleme kwekweka. Abaana be, n’ab’eŋŋanda ze n’ab’omuliraano baakuzikirira, era wa kuggwaawo.
If ye will indeed dwell in this land, I will build you, and will not pull [you] down, but will plant you, and in no wise pluck you up: for I have ceased from the calamities which I brought upon you.
11 Bamulekwa mu mmwe mubaleke, ndibalabirira. Ne bannamwandu mu mmwe banneesige.”
Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith the Lord: for I am with you, to deliver you, and save you out of their hand.
12 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “Obanga abo abatandinywedde ku kikompe bawaliriziddwa okukinywako, lwaki mmwe temubonerezebwa? Temuuleme kubonerezebwa, mulina okukinywa.
And I will grant you mercy, and pity you, and will restore you to your land.
13 Neerayirira,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “Bozula alifuuka matongo era ekibuga ekijjudde entiisa, ekinyoomebwa era ekikolimire, era ebibuga bye byonna biriba matongo emirembe gyonna.”
But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, that we may not hearken to the voice of the Lord;
14 Mpulidde obubaka okuva eri Mukama Katonda. Omubaka yatumibwa eri amawanga okugamba nti, “Mwekuŋŋaanye mukirumbe! Mugolokoke mukole olutalo!”
for we will go into the land of Egypt, and we shall see no war, and shall not hear the sound of a trumpet, and we shall not hunger for bread; and there we will dwell:
15 “Kaakano ndibafuula aba wansi ennyo mu mawanga, abanyoomebwa mu bantu.
then hear the word of the Lord; thus saith the Lord;
16 Entiisa gy’oleeta n’amalala g’omutima gwo bikulimbye, mmwe ababeera mu bunnya bw’amayinja, mmwe ababeera waggulu mu nsozi. Wadde nga muzimba ebisu byammwe okubeera waggulu nga eby’empungu, ndibawanulayo ne mbasuula wansi,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
If ye set your face toward Egypt, and go in there to dwell; then it shall be, [that] the sword which ye fear shall find you in the land of Egypt, and the famine to which ye have regard, shall overtake you, [coming] after you in Egypt; and there ye shall die.
17 “Edomu kirifuuka kyerolerwa, abo bonna abayitawo balyewuunya batye olw’ebiwundu bye byonna.
And all the men, and all the strangers who have set their face toward the land of Egypt to dwell there, shall be consumed by the sword, and by the famine: and there shall not one of them escape from the evils which I bring upon them.
18 Nga Sodomu ne Ggomola bwe byayonoonebwa, wamu n’ebibuga ebirala ebiriraanyeewo,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, “tewaliba n’omu abibeeramu; tewali musajja alikituulamu.
For thus saith the Lord; As my wrath has dropped upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so shall my wrath drop upon you, when ye have entered into Egypt: and ye shall be a desolation, and under the power of others, and a curse and a reproach: and ye shall no more see this place.
19 “Ng’empologoma eva mu bisaka by’omu Yoludaani okugenda mu muddo omugimu, ndigoba Edomu mu nsi ye amangu n’embiro. Ani oyo omulonde gwe nnaateekawo akole kino? Ani ali nga nze era ani ayinza okunsomooza? Era musumba wa ndiga ki ayinza okunjolekera?”
[These are the words] which the Lord has spoken concerning you the remnant of Juda; Enter ye not into Egypt: and now know ye for a certainty,
20 Noolwekyo, muwulire Mukama Katonda kyategese okuleeta ku Edomu, kyategekedde abo abatuula mu Temani. Endiga ento mu bisibo za kuwalulwa, alyonoonera ddala ebisibo byazo ku lwabwe.
that ye have wrought wickedness in your hearts, when ye sent me, saying, Pray thou for us to the Lord; and according to all that the Lord shall speak to thee we will do.
21 Bwe baligwa ensi erikankana, emiranga gyabwe giriwulirwa mu Nnyanja Emyufu.
And ye have not hearkened to the voice of the Lord, with which he sent me to you.
22 Laba, alibuuka mu bire ng’empungu n’atumbiira, n’alyoka akka ng’ayanjululiza ebiwaawaatiro bye ku Bozula. Ku lunaku olwo emitima gy’abalwanyi ba Edomu giribeewanika ng’ogw’omukazi alumwa okuzaala.
Now therefore ye shall perish by sword and by famine, in the place which ye desire to go into to dwell there.
23 Ebikwata ku Damasiko: “Kamasi ne Alupaadi biweddemu amaanyi, kubanga biwulidde amawulire amabi. Bakeŋŋentereddwa, batabuddwa ng’ennyanja esiikuuse, tebasobola kutereera.
24 Ddamasiko ayongobedde, akyuse adduke era okutya kumukutte; obubalagaze n’obuyinike bimunyweezezza, obulumi nga obw’omukazi alumwa okuzaala.
25 Lwaki ekibuga ekimanyiddwa tebakidduse, ekibuga mwe nsanyukira?
26 Ddala abavubuka baakyo baligwa mu nguudo, n’abalwanyi baakyo bonna ku olwo baakusirisibwa,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye.
27 “Ndiyokya bbugwe wa Ddamasiko omuliro; gwakumalawo n’embiri za Benukadaadi.”
28 Bino bye bikwata ku Kedali n’obwakabaka bwa Kazoli, obwalumbibwa Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni. Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “Golokoka, olumbe Kedali ozikirize abantu be bugwanjuba.
29 Weema zaabwe n’ebisibo byabwe bya kutwalibwa; enju zaabwe ziryetikkibwa n’ebintu byabwe byonna n’eŋŋamira zaabwe. Abasajja balibakanga nga bawowoggana nti, ‘Akabi kavudde ku buli ludda!’
30 “Mudduke mwekukume mangu! Mubeere mu mpuku empanvu, mmwe abatuuze b’omu Kazoli,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. “Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni abasalidde olukwe; ategese okubalumba.
31 “Golokoka olumbe eggwanga eriri mu ggandaalo, eriri mu kweyagala,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, “eggwanga eritalina miryango gisibwa wadde ebyuma; abantu baalyo babeera awo bokka.
32 Eŋŋamira zaabwe zaakunyagibwa, n’amagana gaabwe amanene gatwalibwe. Ndibasaasaanya eri empewo, abo abali mu bifo eby’ewala, mbaleeteko akabi okuva ku buli ludda,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
33 “Kazoli alifuuka kifo kya bibe, ekifo eky’amatongo eky’emirembe n’emirembe. Tewali alikibeeramu; tewali muntu alikituulamu.”
34 Kino kye kigambo kya Mukama Katonda ekyajjira nnabbi Yeremiya ekikwata ku Eramu, nga Zeddekiya kabaka wa Yuda kyajje alye obwakabaka.
35 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye nti, “Laba, ndimenya omutego gwa Eramu, amaanyi gaabwe mwe gasinga okwesigibwa.
36 Era ndireeta ku Eramu empewo ennya, okuva mu bitundu ebina eby’eggulu; ndibasaasaanyiza eri empewo ezo ennya, era tewaliba nsi n’emu abawaŋŋanguse ba Eramu gye bataliddukiramu.
37 Ndimenyeramenyera Eramu mu maaso g’abalabe be, mu maaso gaabo abamunoonya okumutta; ndibatuusaako ekikangabwa, n’obusungu bwange obungi ennyo,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda. “Ndibawondera n’ekitala okutuusa lwe ndibamalirawo ddala.
38 Nditeeka entebe yange ey’obwakabaka mu Eramu era nzikirize kabaka we n’abakungu be,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
39 “Wabula ekiseera kijja, lwe ndiddiramu Eramu,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
