1 Zasezisondela zonke induna zamabutho, loJohanani indodana kaKareya, loJezaniya indodana kaHoshaya, labo bonke abantu, kusukela komncinyane kuze kube komkhulu,
Awo abaduumizi ba magye bonna, ng’ogasseeko Yokanaani mutabani wa Kaleya ne Yezaniya mutabani wa Kosaaya, n’abantu bonna okuva ku asokerwako wansi okutuuka ku akomererayo waggulu baatuukirira
2 bathi kuJeremiya umprofethi: Ake kuthi ukuncenga kwethu kuwe phambi kwakho, usikhulekele eNkosini uNkulunkulu wakho, umele le insali yonke, ngoba sisele sibalutshwana kwabanengi, njengalokho amehlo akho esibona;
nnabbi Yeremiya ne bamugamba nti, “Tukwegayiridde, wulira okusaba kwaffe osabe Mukama Katonda wo ku lw’abantu bano bonna abafisseewo. Kale naawe nga bw’olaba, abaali abangi kaakano tusigaddewo batono nnyo.
3 ukuze iNkosi, uNkulunkulu wakho, isazise indlela esizahamba ngayo, lento esizayenza.
Saba Mukama Katonda wo atubuulire gye tusaanye okulaga ne kye tusaanye okukola.”
4 UJeremiya umprofethi wasesithi kibo: Sengizwile; khangelani, ngizakhuleka eNkosini uNkulunkulu wenu njengokwamazwi enu; kuzakuthi-ke, lonke ilizwi iNkosi ezaliphendula ngizalitshela lona, kangiyikuligodlela lizwi.
Nnabbi Yeremiya n’abagamba nti, “Mbawulidde, ddala nzija kubasabira eri Mukama Katonda wammwe nga bwe munsabye; nzija kubabuulira byonna Mukama by’anaŋŋamba, sirina kye nnaabakisa.”
5 Bona basebesithi kuJeremiya: INkosi kayibe ngumfakazi oqinisileyo lothembekileyo phakathi kwethu, uba singenzi ngokunjalo njengalo lonke ilizwi iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho ekuthuma kithi ngalo.
Awo ne bagamba Yeremiya nti, “Mukama abeere omujulirwa ow’amazima era omwesigwa gye tuli, bwe tutalikola kyonna Mukama Katonda wo ky’anaakutuma okutugamba.
6 Loba kukuhle loba kukubi, sizalalela ilizwi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu, esikuthuma kuyo, ukuze kusilungele lapho sililalela ilizwi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu.
Oba kyangu oba kikalubo tujja kugondera Mukama Katonda waffe, gye tukutuma kaakano, tulyoke tufune emirembe, kubanga tujja kugondera Mukama Katonda waffe.”
7 Kwasekusithi ekupheleni kwensuku ezilitshumi, ilizwi leNkosi lafika kuJeremiya.
Bwe waayitawo ennaku kkumi ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yeremiya.
8 Wasebiza uJohanani indodana kaKareya, lazo zonke induna zamabutho ezazilaye, labantu bonke kusukela komncinyane kusiya komkhulu;
N’alyoka ayita Yokanaani omwana wa Kaleya n’abaduumizi b’eggye lya Yuda bonna abaali naye, n’abantu bonna okuva ku asokerwako wansi okutuuka ku akomererayo waggulu.
9 wathi kibo: Itsho njalo iNkosi, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, elingithume kiyo ukuthi ngenze ukuncenga kwenu kuwe phambi kwayo:
N’abagamba nti, “Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri, gye mwantuma okubabuuliza nti,
10 Uba lihlala lokuhlala kulelilizwe, ngizalakha ngingalidilizi, ngilihlanyele, ngingalisiphuni; ngoba ngiyazisola ngokubi engikwenzileyo kini.
‘Bwe munaasigala mu nsi eno, nzija kubazimba era siibaleke kugwa. Nzija kubasimba so si kubasimbula, kubanga nnumiddwa olw’ekikangabwa kye mbatuusizzaako.
11 Lingayesabi inkosi yeBhabhiloni eliyesabayo, lingayesabi, itsho iNkosi; ngoba mina ngilani ukuze ngilisindise ngilophule esandleni sayo.
Temutya kabaka w’e Babulooni, kaakano gwe mutya. Temumutya, bw’ayogera Mukama, kubanga ndi nammwe era nzija kubalokola, mbanunule mu mukono gwa kabaka oyo.
12 Ngilinike izihawu, ukuze ibe lomusa kini, ilibuyisele elizweni lakini.
Nzija kubalaga ekisa alyoke abakwatirwe ekisa, abakomyewo mu nsi yammwe.’
13 Kodwa uba lisithi: Kasiyikuhlala kulelilizwe; ukuthi lingalaleli ilizwi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu;
“Wabula bwe mugamba nti, ‘Tetuusigale mu nsi eno gye mbakomezzaamu,’ olwo munaaba temugondedde Mukama Katonda wammwe.
14 lisithi: Hatshi; kodwa sizangena elizweni leGibhithe, lapho esingayikubona impi khona, singayikuzwa ukukhala kophondo, singalambelanga isinkwa, sihlale khona;
Bwe mugamba nti, ‘Nedda, tujja kugenda tubeere e Misiri, gye tutaalabe ntalo wadde okuwulira ekkondeere nga livuga oba okubulwa omugaati ogw’okulya,’
15 khathesi-ke, ngakho zwanini ilizwi leNkosi, nsali yakoJuda: Itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Uba lina libeka ubuso benu ngokupheleleyo ukuya eGibhithe, lingene ukuyahlala njengabezizwe khona,
kale nno muwulire ekigambo kya Mukama, mmwe abaasigalawo mu Yuda. Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ‘Bwe munaamalirira okugenda e Misiri era ne mugenda okubeererayo ddala,
16 kuzakuthi-ke inkemba eliyesabayo izalifica khona elizweni leGibhithe, lendlala elinqineka ngayo izanamathela emva kwenu khona eGibhithe, lifele khona.
olwo ekitala kye mutya kijja kubasanga eyo, n’enjala gye mutya ejja kubagoberera e Misiri era eyo gye mulifiira.
17 Bazakuba njalo bonke abantu ababeka ubuso babo ukuya eGibhithe, ukuze bahlale njengabezizwe khona; bazakufa ngenkemba, ngendlala, langomatshayabhuqe wesifo; njalo kabayikuba lensali kumbe ophunyuke phambi kokubi engizabehlisela khona.
Mumanyire ddala nti, Abo bonna abamaliridde okugenda e Misiri okusenga eyo balifa kitala, n’enjala ne kawumpuli; tewaliba n’omu alisigalawo wadde okuwona ekikangabwa kye ndibaleetako.’
18 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi yamabandla, uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli: Njengokuthululwa kolaka lwami lentukuthelo yami phezu kwabahlali beJerusalema, ngokunjalo intukuthelo yami izathululelwa phezu kwenu, nxa lingena eGibhithe. Njalo lizakuba yisithuko lokwesabekayo lesiqalekiso lehlazo, lingaphindi liyibone lindawo.
Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ‘Ng’obusungu bwange n’ekiruyi bwe bifukiddwa ku abo abali mu Yerusaalemi, bwe kityo ekiruyi kyange bwe kinaafukibwa ku mmwe bwe munaagenda e Misiri. Munaabeera kya kukolimirwa, era kya ntiisa, era kya kusalirwa musango era kivume: temuliraba kifo kino nate.’
19 INkosi ithe ngani, nsali yakoJuda: Lingangeni eGibhithe. Yazini isibili ukuthi lamuhla ngifakazile ngimelene lani.
“Mmwe abafisseewo ku Yuda, Mukama abagambye nti, ‘Temugenda Misiri.’ Mumanye kino nga mbalabula leero
20 Ngoba liyikhohlisile imiphefumulo yenu; ngoba lina lingithume eNkosini, uNkulunkulu wenu, lisithi: Sikhulekele eNkosini uNkulunkulu wethu; lanjengakho konke iNkosi uNkulunkulu wethu ekutshoyo, ngokunjalo sitshele, sikwenze.
nti, Mwakola ekisobyo kinene bwe mwantuma eri Mukama Katonda wammwe ne mugamba nti, ‘Tusabire eri Mukama Katonda waffe: tubuulire byonna by’agamba tujja kubikola.’
21 Sengilitshelile lamuhla, kodwa kalililalelanga ilizwi leNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu, laloba yiyiphi into engithume yona kini.
Mbabuulidde leero, naye era temugondedde Mukama Katonda wammwe mu byonna bye yantuma okubagamba.
22 Khathesi-ke yazini isibili ukuthi lizakufa ngenkemba, ngendlala, langomatshayabhuqe wesifo, endaweni eliloyisa ukuyahlala khona njengabezizwe.
Kale nno mutegeerere ddala kino nga mulittibwa na kitala, oba njala oba kawumpuli mu nsi gye mwagala okugenda okusengamu.”
