UJeremiya 22
1 Itsho njalo iNkosi: Yehlela endlini yenkosi yakoJuda, ukhulume khona lelilizwi,
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Serengeta ogende mu lubiri lwa kabaka wa Yuda
2 uthi: Zwana ilizwi leNkosi, wena nkosi yakoJuda, ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavida, wena, lezinceku zakho, labantu bakho abangena ngalamasango.
olangirire obubaka buno nti, Wulira ekigambo kya Katonda ggwe kabaka wa Yuda, ggw’atuula ku ntebe ya Dawudi, mmwe abakungu n’abantu bammwe abayita mu miryango gino.
3 Itsho njalo iNkosi: Yenzani isahlulelo lokulunga, lophule ophangiweyo esandleni somcindezeli; lingacindezeli, lingenzi udlakela kowezizwe, izintandane, lomfelokazi, njalo lingachithi igazi elingelacala kulindawo.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, Musale emisango egy’ensonga, mukole ebituufu. Anyagiddwako ebibye mumuggye mu mukono gw’oyo amujooga. Temukola kibi oba eby’obukambwe eri omugwira, newaakubadde atalina kitaawe, newaakubadde nnamwandu so temuyiwa musaayi gw’abantu abataliiko musango mu kifo kino.
4 Ngoba uba lisenza linto isibili, khona kuzangena ngamasango alindlu amakhosi ahlalela uDavida esihlalweni sakhe sobukhosi, egade izinqola lamabhiza, yona lenceku zayo labantu bayo.
Kubanga bwe muneegendereza ne mukuuma ebiragiro bino, olwo bakabaka abatuula ku ntebe ya Dawudi baliyita mu miryango gy’olubiri luno nga batudde mu magaali gaabwe n’abo abeebagadde embalaasi nga bawerekerwako n’abakungu baabwe, n’abantu baabwe.
5 Kodwa uba lingawalaleli lamazwi, ngiyafunga ngami, kutsho iNkosi, ukuthi lindlu izakuba lunxiwa.
‘Naye bwe mutaagondere biragiro bino, nneelayirira ku lwange nti olubiri luno lulifuuka matongo,’ bw’ayogera Mukama.”
6 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi mayelana lendlu yenkosi yakoJuda: UyiGileyadi kimi, inhloko yeLebhanoni; isibili ngizakwenza inkangala, imizi engahlalwayo.
Kubanga kino Mukama ky’agamba ku lubiri lwa kabaka wa Yuda nti, “Newaakubadde ng’oli nga Gireyaadi gye ndi, ng’entikko y’olusozi Lebanooni, ddala ddala nzija kukufuula ddungu, ng’ebibuga ebitaliimu bantu.
7 Ngizakulungisela abachithi, ngulowo elezikhali zakhe; njalo bazagamula ikhethelo lemisedari yakho, bayiphosele emlilweni.
Ndikusindikira abakuzikiriza, buli musajja n’ebyokulwanyisa bye, era balitema emivule gyo egisinga obulungi ne bagisuula mu muliro.
8 Lezizwe ezinengi zizadlula kulumuzi, zithi, ngulowo kumakhelwane wakhe: INkosi yenzeleni kanje kulumuzi omkhulu?
“Abantu abava mu mawanga amangi baliyita ku kibuga kino nga beebuuzaganya bokka ne bokka nti, ‘Lwaki Mukama yakola ekintu ekifaanana bwe kiti ku kibuga kino ekikulu bwe kiti?’
9 Khona bazakuthi: Ngenxa yokuthi basidelile isivumelwano seNkosi uNkulunkulu wabo, bakhonza abanye onkulunkulu, babasebenzela.
Era eky’okuddamu kibeere nti, ‘Kubanga beerabira endagaano ya Mukama Katonda waabwe ne basinza era ne baweereza bakatonda abalala.’”
10 Lingamkhaleli ofileyo, lingamlileli; khalelani kakhulu ohambileyo, ngoba kasayikubuya kumbe abone ilizwe lokuzalwa kwakhe.
Temukaabira kabaka afudde oba okumukungubagira, wabula mukaabire nnyo oyo omuwaŋŋanguse, kubanga taliddayo kulaba nsi ye nate.
11 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi mayelana loShaluma indodana kaJosiya, inkosi yakoJuda, owabusa esikhundleni sikaJosiya uyise, owaphuma kulindawo: Kasayikubuya lapha;
Kubanga kino Mukama ky’agamba ku Sallumu mutabani wa Yosiya kabaka wa Yuda eyasikira Yosiya n’afuuka kabaka wa Yuda naye n’atwalibwa. “Talidda.
12 kodwa uzafela endaweni abamthumbele kuyo, kasayikulibona lelilizwe.
Alifiira eyo gye baamutwala nga musibe, taliraba nsi eno nate.”
13 Maye kowakha indlu yakhe ngokungalungi, lamakamelo akhe aphezulu ngokungaqondanga, osebenzisa umakhelwane wakhe ngeze, angamniki umvuzo wakhe;
“Zimusanze oyo azimba olubiri ku butali butuukirivu, ebisenge bye ebya waggulu ku butali bwenkanya abantu b’ensi ye n’abakozeseza bwereere n’atabasasula mpeera yaabwe.
14 othi: Ngizazakhela indlu enkulu lamakamelo aphezulu abanzi; azisikele amawindi, yembeswe ngemisedari, iconjwe ngokubomvu.
Agamba nti, ‘Nzija kwezimbira olubiri olunene n’ebisenge ebya waggulu ebigazi ennyo.’ Kale nnaakola amadirisa amanene nnaateekamu emivule era nnaasiigako langi emyufu.
15 Uzabusa yini, ngoba utshisekela ulaka ugqoke imisedari? Uyihlo kadlanga yini wanatha, wenza isahlulelo lokulunga, kwasekusiba kuhle kuye?
“Okweyongerayongera emivule emingi kikufuula kabaka? Kitaawo teyalina byakulya na byakunywa? Yakola ebituufu eby’obwenkanya. Noolwekyo byonna byamugendera bulungi.
16 Wehlulela udaba lomyanga loswelayo; khona kwaba kuhle. Lokhu kakusikungazi yini? itsho iNkosi.
Yalwanirira abaavu n’abali mu bwetaavu kale byonna ne bimugendera bulungi. Ekyo si kye kitegeeza okummanya?” bw’ayogera Mukama.
17 Kodwa amehlo akho lenhliziyo yakho kakukho kokunye ngaphandle kwemhawini wakho, lekuchitheni igazi elingelacala, lencindezelweni, lekwenzeni udlakela.
“Naye amaaso gammwe n’emitima gyammwe biri ku magoba ag’obukuusa, ne ku kuyiwa omusaayi ogutaliiko musango ne ku kunyigiriza ne ku kunyaga.”
18 Ngakho itsho njalo iNkosi mayelana loJehoyakhimi indodana kaJosiya, inkosi yakoJuda: Kabayikumkhalela besithi: Hawu mfowethu! kumbe: Hawu dadewethu! Kabayikumkhalela besithi: Hawu nkosi! loba: Hawu, bukhosi bakhe!
Noolwekyo kino Mukama ky’ayogera ku Yekoyakimu omwana wa Yosiya kabaka wa Yuda nti, “Tebalimukungubagira; ‘Kikafuuwe, mukama wange!’ Kikafuuwe, obugagga bwe!
19 Uzangcwatshwa ngokungcwatshwa kukababhemi, ehudulwa alahlwe ngaphandle kwamasango eJerusalema.
Aliziikibwa nga bwe baziika endogoyi, akululwe asuulibwe ebweru w’enzigi za Yerusaalemi.”
20 Yenyukela eLebhanoni, umemeze, uphakamise ilizwi lakho eBashani, umemeze useAbarimi, ngoba zonke izithandwa zakho zibhujisiwe.
“Genda mu Lebanooni okaabe, leka eddoboozi lyo liwulirwe mu Basani. Kaabira ku Abalimu, kubanga bonna ababadde ku ludda lwo bazikiridde.
21 Ngakhuluma lawe ekonwabeni kwakho, kodwa wathi: Kangiyikulalela. Lokhu bekuyindlela yakho kusukela ebutsheni bakho, ukuthi ungalilaleli ilizwi lami.
Nayogera gy’oli ng’okyali mu biseera byo eby’obugagga naye n’ogamba nti, ‘Sijja kuwuliriza!’ Bw’oti bw’obadde okuva mu buto bwo, togonderanga ku ddoboozi lyange.
22 Umoya uzakudla bonke abelusi bakho, lezithandwa zakho zizakuya ekuthunjweni; isibili khona uzakuba lenhloni, uyangeke, ngenxa yobubi bakho bonke.
Empewo erikunguzza abalunzi b’ebisibo byo bonna, n’abawagizi bo batwalibwe mu buwaŋŋanguse. Olwo okwatibwe ensonyi oggweemu amaanyi olw’ebibi byo byonna.
23 Wena ohlala eLebhanoni, owakhe isidleke phakathi kwemisedari, uzahawukelwa kangakanani ekuzeni kwenhlungu kuwe, ubuhlungu obunjengobowesifazana ohelelwayo.
Mmwe abali mu Lebanooni, abesulira mu bizimbe eby’emivule, nga mulikaaba, ng’obulumi bubajjidde! Okulumwa ng’okw’omukazi alumwa okuzaala.
24 Kuphila kwami, itsho iNkosi, loba uKoniya indodana kaJehoyakhimi, inkosi yakoJuda, ebeyindandatho elophawu esandleni sami sokunene, kanti bengizakuhluthula kuso,
“Ddala ddala nga bwe ndi omulamu, wadde ggwe Koniya omwana wa Yekoyakimu, singa wali mpeta ey’obuyinza ku mukono gwange ogwa ddyo, nandikusiseeko,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
25 ngikunikele esandleni sabadinga impilo yakho, lesandleni salabo owesaba ubuso babo, ngitsho esandleni sikaNebhukadirezari inkosi yeBhabhiloni, lesandleni samaKhaladiya,
“Ndikuwaayo eri abo abanoonya obulamu bwo, abo bootya, Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni era n’eri Abakaludaaya.
26 ngikuphosele phandle kanye lonyoko owakubelethayo, liye kwelinye ilizwe, elingazalelwanga kulo; njalo lizafela khona.
Ndikusuula mu nsi endala gye mutaazaalibwa, ggwe ne maama wo eyakuzaala, era eyo mwembi gye mulifiira.
27 Kodwa elizweni abaphakamisa umphefumulo wabo ukubuyela kulo, kabayikubuyela kulo.
Temulidda mu nsi gye mwegomba okuddamu.”
28 Lumuntu uKoniya uyisithombe esidelelekayo lesiphahlazekileyo yini? Uyisitsha okungelantokozo kuso yini? Baphoselwani phandle, yena lenzalo yakhe, yebo, bephoselwa elizweni abangalaziyo?
Omusajja ono Koniya kintu ekinyoomebwa, ekimenyese, ekitaliiko ayagala? Lwaki ye n’abaana be balikanyugibwa ebweru, basuulibwe mu nsi gye batamanyi?
29 Lizwe, lizwe, lizwe, zwana ilizwi leNkosi.
Ayi ggwe ensi, ensi, wulira ekigambo kya Katonda!
30 Itsho njalo iNkosi: Bhalani lumuntu ukuthi kalabantwana, umuntu ongayikuphumelela ensukwini zakhe; ngoba kakulamuntu enzalweni yakhe ozaphumelela, ohlezi esihlalweni sobukhosi sikaDavida, esabusa koJuda.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Omusajja ono mumubale ng’atazaalangako kubanga tewali ku baana be alikulaakulana, alituula ku ntebe ya Dawudi oba aliddayo okufuga mu Yuda.”
