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?
Of the people of Ammon. "Thus says YHWH: 'Has Israel no sons? Has he no heir? Why then does Milcom possess Gad, and his people dwell in its cities?
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.
Therefore look, the days come,' says YHWH, 'that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard against Rabbah of the people of Ammon; and it shall become a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel possess those who possessed him,' says YHWH.
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.
'Wail, Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste; cry, you daughters of Rabbah, clothe yourself in sackcloth: lament, and run back and forth among the fences; for Milcom shall go into captivity, his priests and his officials together.
4 Lwaki mwenyumiriza olw’ebiwonvu byammwe, ne mwenyumiriza olw’ebiwonvu ebigimu? Ggwe omuwala atali mwesigwa, weesiga obugagga bwo n’ogamba nti, ‘Ani alinnumba?’
Why do you glory in the valleys, your flowing valley, backsliding daughter? You who trusted in her treasures, saying, "Who shall come to me?"
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.
Look, I will bring a fear on you,' says YHWH of hosts, 'from all who are around you; and you shall be driven out every man right forth, and there shall be none to gather together the fugitives.
6 “Naye oluvannyuma ndikomyawo nate omukisa gy’abaana ba Amoni,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
But afterward I will bring back the captivity of the people of Ammon,' says YHWH."
7 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye nti, “Tewakyali magezi mu Temani? Abeegendereza babuliddwa okutegeera? Amagezi gaabwe gaweddemu ensa?
Of Edom. "Thus says YHWH of hosts: 'Is wisdom no more in Teman? Is counsel perished from the prudent? Is their wisdom vanished?
8 Mukyuke mudduke mwekweke mu mpuku eziri ewala mmwe abatuuze b’e Dedani, kubanga ndireeta ekikangabwa ku Esawu, mu kiseera bwe ndimubonerereza.
Flee, turn back, dwell in the depths, inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau on him, the time that I shall visit him.
9 Abanozi b’emizabbibu singa bazze gy’oli, tebandikuleseeko mizabbibu mibale bubazi? Singa ababbi bazze ekiro, tebandibbye byonna bye beetaaga?
If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? If thieves by night, wouldn't they destroy until they had enough?
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.
But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is destroyed, and his brothers, and his neighbors; and he is no more.
11 Bamulekwa mu mmwe mubaleke, ndibalabirira. Ne bannamwandu mu mmwe banneesige.”
Leave your fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let your widows trust in me.'
12 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda nti, “Obanga abo abatandinywedde ku kikompe bawaliriziddwa okukinywako, lwaki mmwe temubonerezebwa? Temuuleme kubonerezebwa, mulina okukinywa.
For thus says YHWH: 'Look, they to whom it did not pertain to drink of the cup shall certainly drink; and are you he who shall altogether go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, but you shall surely drink.
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.”
For I have sworn by myself,' says YHWH, 'that Bozrah shall become an astonishment, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all its cities shall be perpetual wastes.'"
14 Mpulidde obubaka okuva eri Mukama Katonda. Omubaka yatumibwa eri amawanga okugamba nti, “Mwekuŋŋaanye mukirumbe! Mugolokoke mukole olutalo!”
I have heard news from YHWH, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, "Gather yourselves together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle."
15 “Kaakano ndibafuula aba wansi ennyo mu mawanga, abanyoomebwa mu bantu.
"For, look, I have made you small among the nations, and despised among men.
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.
As for your terror, the pride of your heart has deceived you, O you who dwell in the clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill: though you should make your nest as high as the eagle, I will bring you down from there," says YHWH.
17 “Edomu kirifuuka kyerolerwa, abo bonna abayitawo balyewuunya batye olw’ebiwundu bye byonna.
"Edom shall become an astonishment: everyone who passes by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all its plagues.
18 Nga Sodomu ne Ggomola bwe byayonoonebwa, wamu n’ebibuga ebirala ebiriraanyeewo,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda, “tewaliba n’omu abibeeramu; tewali musajja alikituulamu.
As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbor cities of it," says YHWH, "no man shall dwell there, neither shall any son of man live in it.
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?”
Look, he shall come up like a lion from the pride of the Jordan against the strong habitation: for I will suddenly make them run away from it; and whoever is chosen, him will I appoint over it: for who is like me? And who will appoint me a time? And who is the shepherd who will stand before me?
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.
Therefore hear the counsel of YHWH, that he has taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he has purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely they shall drag them away, the little ones of the flock; surely he shall make their habitation desolate over them.
21 Bwe baligwa ensi erikankana, emiranga gyabwe giriwulirwa mu Nnyanja Emyufu.
The earth trembles at the noise of their fall; there is a cry, the noise which is heard in the Red Sea.
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.
Look, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread out his wings against Bozrah: and the heart of the mighty men of Edom at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs."
23 Ebikwata ku Damasiko: “Kamasi ne Alupaadi biweddemu amaanyi, kubanga biwulidde amawulire amabi. Bakeŋŋentereddwa, batabuddwa ng’ennyanja esiikuuse, tebasobola kutereera.
Of Damascus. "Hamath is confounded, and Arpad; for they have heard evil news, they are melted away: there is sorrow on the sea; it can't be quiet.
24 Ddamasiko ayongobedde, akyuse adduke era okutya kumukutte; obubalagaze n’obuyinike bimunyweezezza, obulumi nga obw’omukazi alumwa okuzaala.
Damascus has grown feeble, she turns herself to flee, and trembling has seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her, as of a woman in travail.
25 Lwaki ekibuga ekimanyiddwa tebakidduse, ekibuga mwe nsanyukira?
How is the city of praise not forsaken, the city of my joy?
26 Ddala abavubuka baakyo baligwa mu nguudo, n’abalwanyi baakyo bonna ku olwo baakusirisibwa,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye.
Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be brought to silence in that day," says YHWH of hosts.
27 “Ndiyokya bbugwe wa Ddamasiko omuliro; gwakumalawo n’embiri za Benukadaadi.”
"I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the palaces of Ben Hadad."
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.
Of Kedar, and of the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck. "Thus says YHWH: 'Arise, go up to Kedar, and destroy the people of the east.'
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!’
Their tents and their flocks shall they take; they shall carry away for themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry to them, 'Terror on every side.'
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.
Flee, wander far off, dwell in the depths, you inhabitants of Hazor," says YHWH; "for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has taken counsel against you, and has conceived a purpose against you."
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.
"Arise, go up to a nation that is at ease, that dwells without care, says YHWH; that have neither gates nor bars, that dwell alone.
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.
Their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their livestock a spoil: and I will scatter to all winds those who have the corners of their beards cut off; and I will bring their calamity from every side of them," says YHWH.
33 “Kazoli alifuuka kifo kya bibe, ekifo eky’amatongo eky’emirembe n’emirembe. Tewali alikibeeramu; tewali muntu alikituulamu.”
"Hazor shall be a dwelling place of jackals, a desolation forever: no man shall dwell there, neither shall any son of man live in it."
34 Kino kye kigambo kya Mukama Katonda ekyajjira nnabbi Yeremiya ekikwata ku Eramu, nga Zeddekiya kabaka wa Yuda kyajje alye obwakabaka.
The word of YHWH that came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
35 Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye nti, “Laba, ndimenya omutego gwa Eramu, amaanyi gaabwe mwe gasinga okwesigibwa.
"Thus says YHWH of hosts: 'Look, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
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.
On Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of the sky, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation where the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
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.
I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before those who seek their life; and I will bring evil on them, even my fierce anger,' says YHWH; 'and I will send the sword after them, until I have consumed them;
38 Nditeeka entebe yange ey’obwakabaka mu Eramu era nzikirize kabaka we n’abakungu be,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
and I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from there king and officials,' says YHWH.
39 “Wabula ekiseera kijja, lwe ndiddiramu Eramu,” bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda.
'But it shall happen in the latter days, that I will bring back the captivity of Elam,' says YHWH."
