< Jeremia 3 >

1 “Kana murume akaramba mukadzi wake, iye akamusiya hake akandowanikwa nomumwe murume, murume uyu angadzokerazve kwaari here? Ko, nyika haingasvibiswi here? Asi iwe wakararama sechifeve navadiwa vazhinji, zvino ungadzokera kwandiri here?” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
“Omusajja bw’agoba mukazi we, omukazi oyo n’agenda n’afuuka ow’omusajja omulala, omusajja we alimukomyawo nate? Ensi eba teyonoonekedde ddala nnyo? Naye obadde nga malaaya, ng’olina abasajja bangi; naye kaakano oyagala okukomawo gye ndi?” bw’ayogera Mukama.
2 “Tarira kunzvimbo dzakakwirira dzisina miti uone. Iripo here nzvimbo yausina kumboitira ufeve? Mujinga menzira wakagaramo wakamirira zvikomba, wakagara kunge vanhu vouragu vari murenje. Wakasvibisa nyika noufeve hwako uye nezvakaipa zvako.
Yimusa amaaso go olabe ku ntikko y’obusozi. Waliwo ekifo we bateebakira naawe? Ku mabbali g’ekkubo we watulanga n’olinda abasajja ng’oli nga Omuwalabu mu ddungu; n’olyoka oyonoona ensi n’obwenzi bwo n’ekibi kyo.
3 Naizvozvo wakanyimwa mvura inopfunha, uye nemvura yomuchirimo haina kunaya.
Noolwekyo enkuba kyevudde eziyizibwa, n’enkuba eya ttoggo n’etetonnya. Naye era otemya nga malaaya tokwatibwa nsonyi.
4 Ko, handiti uchangobva pakundidana here uchiti, ‘Baba vangu, shamwari yangu kubva pauduku hwangu,
Tewakaŋŋamba nti Kitange ggwe mukwano gwange okuva mu buto bwange,
5 muchagara makatsamwa here? Kutsamwa kwenyu kucharamba kuripo nokusingaperi here?’ Aya ndiwo matauriro ako, asi unoita zvakaipa zvose zvaunogona kuita.”
onoonyiigira ddala emirembe gyonna, olisunguwala emirembe gyonna? Bw’otyo bw’oyogera, naye okoze ebibi byonna ebisoboka.
6 Panguva yokutonga kwaMambo Josia, Jehovha akati kwandiri, “Waona here zvaitwa naIsraeri wokusatendeka? Ari kuenda pamusoro pezvikomo zvose zvakakwirira nepasi pemiti yose yakapfumvutira achindoita ufevepo.
Mu nnaku z’obufuzi bwa kabaka Yosiya Mukama yayogera nange n’aŋŋamba nti, “Olabye Isirayiri etali neesigwa ky’ekoze? Agenze ku buli kasozi na buli wansi w’omuti oguyimiridde ne yeeyisa ng’omukazi omwenzi.
7 Ndakafunga kuti mushure mokuita kwake izvi zvose, achadzokera kwandiri asi iye haana, uye mununʼuna wake Judha wokusatendeka akazviona.
Nalowooza nti, Bw’alimala okukola bino byonna agenda kudda gye ndi naye teyadda, era muganda we atali mwesigwa Yuda n’akiraba.
8 Ndakapa Israeri wokusatendeka tsamba yokurambana ndikamudzinga nokuda kwoufeve hwake. Kunyange zvakadaro ndakaona kuti Judha mununʼuna wake wokusatenda haatyi; naiyewo akabuda akandoita ufeve.
Yalaba nti bwe namala okugoba Isirayiri eyanvaako, ne muwa n’ebbaluwa ey’okumugoba olw’obwenzi bwe. Naye ate ne ndaba muganda we atali mwesigwa Yuda nga taliimu kutya, naye n’agenda n’akola obwenzi.
9 Nokuti ufeve hwaIsraeri hahuna zvahwakareva kwaari, akasvibisa nyika nokufeva namabwe namatanda.
Awo obwenzi bwe bwatuuka ne bumwanguyira nnyo n’ayenda n’asinza amayinja n’ebikonge.
10 Kunyange izvi zvakadaro, mununʼuna wake Judha wokusatendeka haana kudzokera kwandiri nomwoyo wake wose, asi kunyengera chete,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
Naye wadde nga byonna bimaze okubaawo, muganda we Yuda atali mwesigwa, teyakomawo gye ndi na mutima gwe gwonna, naye yali alimbalimba,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
11 Jehovha akati kwandiri, “Israeri wokusatenda akarurama kukunda Judha wokusatendeka.
Mukama n’aŋŋamba nti, Isirayiri asudde obwesigwa, mutukuvu okusinga Yuda atali mwesigwa.
12 Enda undoparidza shoko iri kurutivi rwokumusoro uchiti, “‘Dzokai imi Israeri vokusatenda,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, ‘Handichazorambi ndakafinyamisa chiso changu kwamuri, nokuti ndizere nengoni,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, ‘handingarambi ndakatsamwa nokusingaperi.
Genda obuulire abantu b’omu bukiikakkono obubaka buno, obagambe nti, “‘Komawo ggwe Isirayiri, eyanvaako,’ bw’ayogera Mukama. ‘Siribatunuuliza busungu kubanga ndi waakisa,’ bw’ayogera Mukama; ‘Sirisiba busungu ku mwoyo emirembe gyonna.
13 Imi zivai mhosva yenyu chete, kuti makamukira Jehovha Mwari wenyu, mukafadza vamwari vavatorwa muri pasi pomuti mumwe nomumwe wakapfumvutira, uye hamuna kunditeerera,’” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
Mukkirize bukkiriza ekibi kyammwe, mwajeemera Mukama Katonda wammwe, mwasinza bakatonda abalala, wansi wa buli muti oguyimiridde, era ne mutaŋŋondera,’” bw’ayogera Mukama.
14 “Dzokai, imi vanhu vokusatenda,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “nokuti ndini murume wenyu. Ndichakusarudzai, ndichatora mumwe chete kubva kune rimwe guta, uye vaviri kubva kuno rumwe rudzi, ndigokuuyisai kuZioni.
“Mukomeewo mmwe abaana abanvaako,” bw’ayogera Mukama; “kubanga nze bbammwe, era ndibalondamu omu ku omu okuva mu buli kibuga, babiri babiri okuva mu buli kika mbaleete ku lusozi Sayuuni.
15 Ipapo ndichakupai vafudzi vanofadza mwoyo wangu, ivo vachakutungamirirai noruzivo nokunzwisisa.
Era ndibawa abasumba abakola ng’omutima gwange bwe gwagala, abalibakulembera mu kumanya era ne mu kutegeera.
16 Mumazuva iwayo, pamunenge mawanda zvikuru munyika,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “vanhu havangazoti, ‘Areka yesungano yaJehovha.’ Hazvingazopindi mundangariro dzavo kana kurangarirwa; havazoishuvi, havangagadziri imwezve.
Ennaku bwe zirituuka nga mwaze era nga muli bangi nnyo mu nsi,” bw’ayogera Mukama, “abantu baliba tebakyayogera ku Ssanduuko y’Endagaano. Baliba tebakyagirowooza nako, okugijjukira; oba okulumwa emitima olw’obutaba nayo wadde okukola endala.
17 Panguva iyoyo vachatumidza Jerusarema kuti Chigaro choUshe chaJehovha, uye ndudzi dzose dzichaungana muJerusarema kuzokudza zita raJehovha. Havachazoteverizve kusindimara kwemwoyo yavo yakaipa.
Ebbanga lyonna Yerusaalemi kiriyitibwa Entebe ya Mukama ey’Obwakabaka, amawanga gonna mwe ganaakuŋŋaaniranga okumugulumiza Mukama mu Yerusaalemi era tebaliddayo kugoberera mitima gyabwe minyoomi.
18 Mumazuva iwayo imba yaJudha ichabatana neimba yaIsraeri, uye vose pamwe chete vachauya vachibva kunyika yokumusoro vachienda kunyika yandakapa madzibaba enyu kuti ive nhaka.
Mu nnaku ezo ennyumba ya Yuda eryegatta ku nnyumba ya Isirayiri, era bombi awamu baliva mu nsi ey’omu bukiikakkono ne bajja mu nsi gye ndiwa bakitammwe okuba omugabo.
19 “Ini pachangu ndakati, “‘Ndichafara sei pakukubatai savanakomana vangu uye ndichikupai nyika inoyevedza, iyo nhaka yakaisvonaka yorudzi rupi zvarwo.’ Ndakafunga kuti muchanditi ‘Baba’ mukasazotsauka pakunditevera.
“Nze kennyini nalowooza “nga nayagala okubayisanga nga batabani bange, era mbawe ensi eyeegombebwa, nga gwe mugabo ogusinga obulungi mu mawanga gonna. Nalowooza nti mulimpita ‘Kitammwe,’ ne mutanvaako ne mwongera okungoberera.
20 Asi sezvinoita mukadzi asina kutendeka kumurume wake, saizvozvo makanga musina kutendeka kwandiri, imi imba yaIsraeri,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
Naye ng’omukazi atali mwesigwa eri bba bw’abeera, bwe mutyo bwe mutabadde beesigwa gye ndi, mmwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
21 Kuchema kunonzwika panzvimbo dzakakwirira dzisina miti, iko kuchema nokuteterera kwavanhu veIsraeri, nokuti vakaminamisa nzira dzavo uye vakakanganwa Jehovha Mwari wavo.
Okukaaba kw’Abaana ba Isirayiri kuwuliddwa ku ntikko z’ensozi ezitaliiko kantu, nga bakaaba n’okwegayirira, kubanga baatambulira mu kukola ebibi, ne beerabira Mukama Katonda waabwe.
22 “Dzokai, imi vanhu vokusatenda; ndichakurapai pakudzokera kwenyu shure.” “Hongu, tichauya kwamuri, nokuti imi muri Jehovha Mwari wedu.
“Mukomeewo mmwe abantu abatali beesigwa, nnaabawonya ne mbafuula abeesigwa.” Ne mugamba nti, “Weewaawo tujja kudda gy’oli, kubanga ggwe Mukama Katonda waffe.
23 Zvirokwazvo mheremhere youfeve iri pazvikomo, napamakomo unyengeri; zvirokwazvo muna Jehovha Mwari wedu ndimo mune ruponeso rwaIsraeri.
Ddala okusuubira obuyambi okuva mu nsozi gye twasinzizanga bakatonda abalala temuli kantu. Ddala mu Mukama Katonda waffe mwe muli obulokozi bwa Isirayiri.
24 Kubva pauduku hwedu nyadzi dzakadya zvibereko zvamabasa amadzibaba edu, makwai avo, nemombe dzavo, vanakomana navanasikana vavo.
Naye okuva mu buto bwaffe bakatonda abo abalala abatagasa balidde ne bamalawo ebibala bakitaffe bye baamalirako amaanyi gaabwe, embuzi zaabwe, n’ente zaabwe, batabani baabwe ne bawala baabwe.
25 Ngativatei pasi munyadzi dzedu, uye kunyara kwedu ngakutifukidze. Takatadzira Jehovha Mwari wedu, isu tose namadzibaba edu; kubva pauduku hwedu kusvikira nhasi hatina kuteerera Jehovha Mwari wedu.”
Leka tugalamire, ng’ensonyi zitutta, n’obuswavu bwaffe butuyitiridde kubanga twonoonye eri Mukama Katonda waffe, ffe ne bakadde baffe, okuva mu buto bwaffe n’okutuusa ku lunaku luno; kubanga tetugondedde ddoboozi lya Mukama Katonda waffe.”
