Yeremia 10
1 Sikieni lile ambalo Bwana, anena nanyi ee nyumba ya Israeli.
Hear the word which he has spoken Yahweh to you O house of Israel.
2 Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: “Usijifunze njia za mataifa wala usitishwe na ishara katika anga, ingawa mataifa yanatishwa nazo.
Thus - he says Yahweh [the] way of the nations may not you learn and from [the] signs of the heavens may not you be dismayed for they are dismayed the nations from them.
3 Kwa maana desturi za mataifa hazina maana, wanakata mti msituni, na fundi anauchonga kwa patasi.
For [the] customs of the peoples [is] futility it for a tree from a forest someone has cut down it [the] work of [the] hands of a craftsman with tool.
4 Wanaparemba kwa fedha na dhahabu, wanakikaza kwa nyundo na misumari ili kisitikisike.
With silver and with gold he beautifies it with nails and with hammers they make strong them and not it will wobble.
5 Sanamu zao ni kama sanamu iliyowekwa shambani la matango kutishia ndege nazo haziwezi kuongea; sharti zibebwe sababu haziwezi kutembea. Usiziogope; haziwezi kudhuru, wala kutenda lolote jema.”
[are] like A scarecrow of a cucumber field they and not they speak certainly they are carried for not they walk may not you be afraid from them for not they do harm and also [is] doing good there not with them.
6 Hakuna aliye kama wewe, Ee Bwana; wewe ni mkuu, jina lako ni lenye nguvu katika uweza.
From there not [is] like you O Yahweh [are] great you and [is] great name your in strength.
7 Ni nani ambaye haimpasi kukuheshimu wewe, Ee Mfalme wa mataifa? Hii ni stahili yako. Miongoni mwa watu wote wenye hekima katika mataifa na katika falme zao zote, hakuna aliye kama wewe.
Who? not will he fear you O king of the nations for for you it is befitting that among all [the] wise [people] of the nations and among all kingdom their from there not [is] like you.
8 Wote hawana akili, tena ni wapumbavu, wanafundishwa na sanamu za miti zisizofaa lolote.
And in one they are stupid and they may be foolish [the] correction of futilities [is] wood it.
9 Huleta fedha iliyofuliwa kutoka Tarshishi na dhahabu kutoka Ufazi. Kile ambacho fundi na sonara wametengeneza huvikwa mavazi ya rangi ya samawi na urujuani: vyote vikiwa vimetengenezwa na mafundi stadi.
Silver beaten from Tarshish it is brought and gold from Uphaz [the] work of a craftsman and [the] hands of a metalsmith [is] violet stuff and purple clothing their [are the] work of skillful [people] all of them.
10 Lakini Bwana ni Mungu wa kweli, yeye ndiye Mungu aliye hai, Mfalme wa milele. Anapokasirika, dunia hutetemeka, mataifa hayawezi kustahimili hasira yake.
And Yahweh [is] God truth he [is] God living and king of perpetuity from wrath his it shakes the earth and not they will endure nations indignation his.
11 “Waambie hivi: ‘Miungu hii, ambayo haikuumba mbingu na dunia, itaangamia kutoka dunia na kutoka chini ya mbingu.’”
Like this you will say to them gods the who heavens the and earth the not they made may they perish from earth the and from under heavens the these.
12 Lakini Mungu aliiumba dunia kwa uweza wake, akaweka misingi ya ulimwengu kwa hekima yake, na akazitandaza mbingu kwa ufahamu wake.
[he] made [the] earth By power his [he] established [the] world by wisdom his and by understanding his he stretched out [the] heavens.
13 Atoapo sauti yake, maji yaliyo katika mbingu hunguruma; huyafanya mawingu yainuke kutoka miisho ya dunia. Hupeleka umeme wa radi pamoja na mvua, naye huuleta upepo kutoka ghala zake.
To [the] sound of giving forth he a tumult of waters in the heavens and he made come up clouds from [the] end of (the earth *Q(K)*) lightning for the rain he makes and he brought out [the] wind from storehouses his.
14 Kila mmoja ni mjinga na hana maarifa, kila sonara ameaibishwa na sanamu zake. Vinyago vyake ni vya udanganyifu, havina pumzi ndani yavyo.
He is stupid every person from knowledge he has been put to shame every metalsmith from [the] idol for [is] deception molten image his and not breath [is] in them.
15 Havifai kitu, ni vitu vya kufanyia mzaha tu, hukumu yavyo itakapowadia, vitaangamia.
[are] futility They a work of mockery at [the] time of punishment their they will perish.
16 Yeye aliye Fungu la Yakobo sivyo alivyo, kwani ndiye Muumba wa vitu vyote, pamoja na Israeli, kabila la urithi wake: Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote ndilo jina lake.
Not [is] like these [the] portion of Jacob for [is [the] one who] formed everything he and Israel [is] [the] tribe of inheritance his [is] Yahweh of hosts name his.
17 Kusanyeni mali na vitu vyenu mwondoke nchi hii, enyi mnaoishi katika hali ya kuzingirwa na jeshi.
Gather up from [the] ground bundle your (O [you who] dwell *Q(K)*) in the siege.
18 Kwa kuwa hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: “Wakati huu, nitawatupa nje kwa nguvu wote waishio katika nchi hii; nitawataabisha ili waweze kutekwa.”
For thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to hurl forth [the] inhabitants of the land at the time this and I will cause distress to them so that they may find.
19 Ole wangu mimi kwa ajili ya kuumia kwangu! Jeraha langu ni kubwa! Lakini nilisema, “Kweli hii ni adhabu yangu, nami sharti niistahimili.”
Woe! to me on fracture my [is] severe wound my and I I said surely this [is] a sickness and I will endure it.
20 Hema langu limeangamizwa; kamba zake zote zimekatwa. Wana wangu wametekwa na hawapo tena; hakuna hata mmoja aliyebaki wa kusimamisha hema langu wala wa kusimamisha kibanda changu.
Tent my it has been devastated and all tent cords my they have been snapped children my they have gone out from me and there not [are] they there not [is one who] pitches again tent my and [one who] raises tent curtains my.
21 Wachungaji hawana akili wala hawamuulizi Bwana, hivyo hawastawi na kundi lao lote la kondoo limetawanyika.
For they have behaved stupidly the shepherds and Yahweh not they have sought there-fore not they have prospered and all flock their it has been scattered.
22 Sikilizeni! Taarifa inakuja: ghasia kubwa kutoka nchi ya kaskazini! Hii itafanya miji ya Yuda ukiwa, makao ya mbweha.
[the] sound of A report there! [it is] coming and a din great from a land of [the] north to make [the] cities of Judah a desolation a habitation of jackals.
23 Ninajua, Ee Bwana, kwamba maisha ya mwanadamu si yake mwenyewe; hawezi kuziongoza hatua zake mwenyewe.
I know O Yahweh that not [belongs] to person way his not [belongs] to a person [who] walks to direct step[s] his.
24 Unirudi, Ee Bwana, lakini kwa kipimo cha haki: si katika hasira yako, usije ukaniangamiza.
Correct me O Yahweh only in justice may not [it be] in anger your lest you should diminish me.
25 Umwage ghadhabu yako juu ya mataifa wasiokujua wewe, juu ya mataifa wasioliitia jina lako. Kwa kuwa wamemwangamiza Yakobo; wamemwangamiza kabisa na kuiharibu nchi yake.
Pour out rage your on the nations which not they have known you and on clans which on name your not they have called for they have consumed Jacob and they have consumed him and they have made an end of him and habitation his they have devastated.
