< Yeremia 32 >
1 Hili ndilo neno lililomjia Yeremia kutoka kwa Bwana, katika mwaka wa kumi wa utawala wa Sedekia mfalme wa Yuda, ambao ulikuwa mwaka wa kumi na nane wa utawala wa Mfalme Nebukadneza.
The word that was maad of the Lord to Jeremye, in the tenthe yeer of Sedechie, kyng of Juda; thilke is the eiytenthe yeer of Nabugodonosor.
2 Wakati huo jeshi la mfalme wa Babeli lilikuwa limeuzunguka mji wa Yerusalemu, naye nabii Yeremia alikuwa amezuiliwa katika ua wa walinzi katika jumba la kifalme la Yuda.
Thanne the oost of the kyng of Babiloyne bisegide Jerusalem; and Jeremye, the profete, was closid in the porche of the prisoun, that was in the hous of the kyng of Juda.
3 Basi Sedekia mfalme wa Yuda alikuwa amemfunga huko akisema, “Kwa nini unatabiri hivyo? Wewe unasema, ‘Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: Ninakaribia kuutia mji huu mkononi mwa mfalme wa Babeli, naye atauteka.
For whi Sedechie, the kyng of Juda, hadde closid hym, and seide, Whi profesiest thou, seiynge, The Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal yyue this citee in the hond of the kyng of Babyloyne, and he schal take it; and Sedechie,
4 Sedekia mfalme wa Yuda hataweza kuponyoka mikononi mwa Wakaldayo, lakini kwa hakika atatiwa mikononi mwa mfalme wa Babeli, naye atazungumza naye ana kwa ana na kumwona kwa macho yake mwenyewe.
the kyng of Juda, schal not ascape fro the hond of Caldeis, but he schal be bitake in to the hond of the kyng of Babiloyne; and his mouth schal speke with the mouth of hym, and hise iyen schulen se the iyen of hym;
5 Atamchukua Sedekia hadi Babeli, mahali atakapoishi mpaka nitakapomshughulikia, asema Bwana. Kama utapigana dhidi ya Wakaldayo, hutashinda.’”
and he schal lede Sedechie in to Babiloyne, and he schal be there, til Y visyte hym, seith the Lord; forsothe if ye fiyten ayens Caldeis, ye schulen haue no thing in prosperite?
6 Yeremia akasema, “Neno la Bwana lilinijia kusema:
And Jeremye seide, The word of the Lord was maad to me, and seide, Lo!
7 Hanameli mwana wa Shalumu mjomba wako atakuja kwako na kusema, ‘Nunua shamba langu huko Anathothi, kwa sababu wewe kama jamaa ya karibu ni haki na wajibu wako kulinunua.’
Ananeel, the sone of Sellum, the sone of thi fadris brothir, schal come to thee, and seie, Bi thou to thee my feeld, which is in Anathot; for it bifallith to thee by niy kynrede, that thou bie it.
8 “Kisha, kama Bwana alivyosema, binamu yangu Hanameli alinijia katika ua wa walinzi na kusema: ‘Nunua shamba langu lililoko Anathothi katika nchi ya Benyamini. Kwa kuwa ni haki yako kulikomboa na kulimiliki, jinunulie.’ “Nilijua kwamba hili lilikuwa neno la Bwana.
And Ananeel, the sone of my fadris brothir, cam to me, bi the word of the Lord, to the porche of the prisoun, and seide to me, Welde thou my feeld, which is in Anathot, in the lond of Beniamyn; for whi the erytage bifallith to thee, and thou art the next of blood, that thou welde it. Forsothe Y vndirstood, that it was the word of the Lord.
9 Hivyo nikalinunua shamba hilo lililoko Anathothi kutoka kwa binamu yangu Hanameli, nami nikampimia shekeli kumi na saba za fedha.
And Y bouyte the feeld, which is in Anathot, of Ananeel, the sone of my fadris brothir. And Y paiede to hym siluer, seuene stateris, and ten platis of siluer;
10 Nikatia sahihi na kuweka muhuri hati ya kumiliki, nikaweka mashahidi, na kupima ile fedha kwenye mizani.
and Y wroot in a book, and Y seelide, and Y yaf witnessis. And Y weiede siluer in a balaunce;
11 Nikachukua ile hati ya kununulia, nakala iliyotiwa muhuri yenye makubaliano na masharti, pia pamoja na ile nakala isiyo na muhuri,
and Y took the book aseelid of possessioun, and axingis and answerys of the seller and bier, and couenauntis, and seelis withoutforth.
12 nami nikampa Baruku mwana wa Neria, mwana wa Maaseya, hati hii mbele ya binamu yangu Hanameli, na mbele ya mashahidi waliokuwa wameweka sahihi kwenye hati hii na mbele ya Wayahudi wote waliokuwa wameketi katika ua wa walinzi.
And Y yaf the book of possessioun to Baruc, the sone of Neri, sone of Maasie, bifore the iyen of Ananeel, the sone of my fadris brother, and bifore the iyen of witnessis that weren writun in the book of biyng, bifore the iyen of alle Jewis, that saten in the porche of the prisoun.
13 “Nilimpa Baruku maelezo haya mbele yao:
And Y comaundide to Baruc bifore hem,
14 ‘Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, Mungu wa Israeli: Chukua hati hizi, yaani nakala zote zenye muhuri na zisizo na muhuri za hati ya kununulia, na uziweke kwenye gudulia la udongo wa mfinyanzi ili zidumu kwa muda mrefu.
and Y seide, The Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, Take thou these bookis, this seelid book of biyng, and this book which is opyn, and putte thou tho in an erthen vessel, that tho moun dwelle bi many daies.
15 Kwa kuwa hili ndilo asemalo Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, Mungu wa Israeli: Nyumba, mashamba na mashamba ya mizabibu yatanunuliwa tena katika nchi hii.’
For whi the Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, Yit housis, and feeldis, and vynes schulen be weldid in this lond.
16 “Baada ya kumkabidhi Baruku mwana wa Neria hii hati ya kununulia, nilimwomba Bwana:
And Y preiede to the Lord, aftir that Y bitook the book of possessioun to Baruc, the sone of Nery; and Y seide, Alas!
17 “Ee Bwana Mwenyezi, umeumba mbingu na nchi kwa uwezo wako mkuu na kwa mkono ulionyooshwa. Hakuna jambo lililo gumu usiloliweza.
alas! alas! Lord God, Lord, thou madist heuene and erthe in thi greet strengthe, and in thin arm stretchid forth; ech word schal not be hard to thee;
18 Wewe huonyesha upendo kwa maelfu, lakini huleta adhabu kwa ajili ya dhambi za baba mapajani mwa watoto wao baada yao. Ee Mungu mkuu na mwenye uweza, ambaye jina lako ni Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote,
which doist merci in thousyndis, and yeldist the wickidnesse of fadris in to the bosum of her sones aftir hem. Thou strongeste, greet, myyti, Lord of oostis is name to thee;
19 makusudi yako ni makuu, na matendo yako ni yenye uwezo. Macho yako yanaona njia zote za wanadamu, nawe humlipa kila mmoja kulingana na mwenendo wake, na kama yanavyostahili matendo yake.
greet in councel, and vncomprehensible in thouyt, whose iyen ben open on alle the weies of the sones of Adam, that thou yelde to ech aftir hise weies, and aftir the fruyt of hise fyndyngis;
20 Ulitenda ishara za miujiza na maajabu huko Misri, na umeyaendeleza mpaka leo, katika Israeli na miongoni mwa wanadamu wote, nawe umejulikana na kufahamika hivyo mpaka leo.
which settidist signes and greet woundris in the lond of Egipt, `til to this dai, bothe in Israel and in men; and madist to thee a name, as this dai is.
21 Uliwatoa watu wako Israeli kutoka Misri kwa ishara na maajabu, kwa mkono wenye nguvu na ulionyooshwa na kwa matisho makuu.
And thou leddist thi puple Israel out of the lond of Egipt, in signes and in greet woundris, and in a strong hond, and in an arm holdun forth, and in greet dreed; and thou yauest to hem this lond,
22 Uliwapa nchi hii uliyokuwa umeapa kuwapa baba zao, nchi inayotiririka maziwa na asali.
which thou sworist to the fadris of hem, that thou woldist yyue to hem, a lond flowynge with milk and hony.
23 Waliingia na kuimiliki, lakini hawakukutii wala kuifuata sheria yako. Hawakufanya kile ulichowaamuru kufanya. Hivyo ukaleta maafa haya yote juu yao.
And thei entriden, and hadden it in possessioun; and thei obeieden not to thi vois, and thei yeden not in thi lawe; alle thingis whiche thou comaundidist to hem to do, thei diden not; and alle these yuels bifellen to hem.
24 “Tazama jinsi tumezungukwa na jeshi ili kuuteka mji huu. Kwa sababu ya upanga, njaa na tauni, mji utatiwa mikononi mwa Wakaldayo ambao wanaushambulia. Ulilosema limetokea kama vile unavyoona sasa.
Lo! strengthis ben bildid ayens the citee, that it be takun, and the citee is youun in to the hondis of Caldeis, and in to the hondis of the kyng of Babiloyne, that fiyten ayens it, of the face of swerd, and of hungur, and of pestilence; and what euer thingis thou spakest, bifellen, as thou thi silf seest.
25 Ingawa mji utatiwa mikononi mwa Wakaldayo, wewe, Ee Bwana Mwenyezi, uliniambia, ‘Nunua shamba kwa fedha, na jambo hilo lishuhudiwe.’”
And Lord God, thou seist to me, Bie thou a feeld for siluer, and yyue thou witnessis, whanne the citee is youun in the hondis of Caldeis.
26 Ndipo neno la Bwana likamjia Yeremia kusema:
And the word of the Lord was maad to Jeremye, and seide, Lo!
27 “Mimi ndimi Bwana, Mungu wa wote wenye mwili. Je, kuna jambo lolote lililo gumu nisiloliweza?
Y am the Lord God of `al fleisch. Whether ony word schal be hard to me?
28 Kwa hiyo, hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: Ninakaribia kuutia mji huu mikononi mwa Wakaldayo, na mwa Nebukadneza mfalme wa Babeli ambaye atauteka.
Therfor the Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal bitake this citee in to the hondis of Caldeis, and in to the hond of the kyng of Babiloyne, and he schal take it.
29 Wakaldayo ambao wanaushambulia mji huu watakuja na kuuchoma moto na kuuteketeza, pamoja na nyumba ambamo watu wamenikasirisha kwa kumfukizia Baali uvumba katika mapaa na kumimina sadaka za vinywaji kwa miungu mingine.
And Caldeis schulen come, and fiyte ayens this citee, and thei schulen brenne it with fier, and thei schulen brenne it, and housis, in whose rooues thei sacrifieden to Baal, and offriden moist sacrifices to alien goddis, to terre me to wraththe.
30 “Watu wa Israeli na wa Yuda hawakufanya kitu kingine ila uovu mbele zangu tangu ujana wao. Naam, watu wa Israeli hawakufanya kitu kingine ila kunikasirisha kwa kazi ambazo mikono yao imetengeneza, asema Bwana.
For whi the sones of Israel and the sones of Juda diden yuel contynueli, fro her yonge waxynge age, bifore myn iyen, the sones of Israel, whiche `til to now wraththen me bi the werk of her hondis, seith the Lord.
31 Tangu siku ulipojengwa hadi sasa, mji huu umenikasirisha na kunighadhibisha kiasi kwamba ni lazima niuondoe machoni pangu.
For whi this citee is maad to me in my strong veniaunce and indignacioun, fro the day in which thei bildiden it, `til to this dai, in which it schal be takun awei fro my siyt;
32 Watu wa Israeli na wa Yuda wamenikasirisha kwa uovu wote waliofanya: wao, wafalme wao na maafisa wao, makuhani wao na manabii wao, watu wa Yuda na wakazi wa Yerusalemu.
for the malice of the sones of Israel, and of the sones of Juda, which thei diden, terrynge me to wrathfulnesse, thei, and the kyngis of hem, the princes of hem, and the prestis, and profetis of hem, the men of Juda, and the dwelleris of Jerusalem.
33 Walinigeuzia visogo vyao, wala si nyuso zao. Ingawa niliwafundisha tena na tena, hawakupenda kusikiliza wala kuitikia adhabu.
And thei turneden to me the backis, and not the faces, whanne Y tauyte, and enformede hem erli; and thei nolden here, that thei schulden take techyng.
34 Waliweka miungu yao ya kuchukiza sana katika nyumba iitwayo kwa Jina langu na kuinajisi.
And thei settiden her idols in the hous, in which my name is clepid to help, that thei schulden defoule it.
35 Wakajenga mahali pa juu pa kuabudia miungu kwa ajili ya Baali katika Bonde la Ben-Hinomu, ambapo walitoa wana wao na binti zao kafara kwa Moleki, ingawa kamwe sikuamuru, wala halikuingia akilini mwangu, kwamba watafanya chukizo kama hilo na kumfanya Yuda atende dhambi.
And thei bildiden hiy thingis to Baal, that ben in the valei of the sones of Ennon, that thei schulden halewe her sones and her douytris to Moloc, which thing Y comaundide not to hem, nether it stiede in to myn herte, that thei schulden do this abhomynacioun, and brynge Juda in to synne.
36 “Mnasema kuhusu mji huu, ‘Kwa upanga, njaa na tauni, mji utatiwa mkononi mwa mfalme wa Babeli,’ lakini hili ndilo Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli asemalo:
And now for these thingis, the Lord God of Israel seith these thingis to this citee, of whiche ye seien, that it schal be bitakun in to the hondis of the kyng of Babiloyne, in swerd, and in hungur, and in pestilence, Lo!
37 Hakika nitawakusanya kutoka nchi zote nilizowafukuzia katika hasira yangu kali na ghadhabu yangu kuu, nitawarudisha mahali hapa na kuwaruhusu waishi kwa salama.
Y schal gadere hem fro alle londis, to whiche Y castide hem out in my strong veniaunce, and in my wraththe, and in greet indignacioun; and Y schal brynge hem ayen to this place, and Y schal make hem to dwelle tristili.
38 Watakuwa watu wangu, nami nitakuwa Mungu wao.
And thei schulen be in to a puple to me, and Y schal be in to God to hem.
39 Nitawapa moyo mmoja na kutenda pamoja, ili kwamba waniche daima kwa mema yao wenyewe na kwa mema ya watoto wao baada yao.
And Y schal yyue to hem oon herte and o soule, that thei drede me in alle daies, and that it be wel to hem, and to her sones aftir hem.
40 Nitafanya nao agano la milele: Kamwe sitaacha kuwatendea mema, nami nitawavuvia kunicha mimi, ili kamwe wasigeukie mbali nami.
And Y schal smyte to hem a couenaunt euerlastynge, and Y schal not ceese to do wel to hem, and Y schal yyue my drede in the herte of hem, that thei go not awey fro me.
41 Nitafurahia kuwatendea mema, na kwa hakika nitawapanda katika nchi hii kwa moyo wangu wote na roho yangu yote.
And Y schal be glad on hem, whanne Y schal do wel to hem; and Y schal plaunte hem in this lond in treuthe, in al myn herte, and in al my soule.
42 “Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: Kama nilivyoleta maafa haya makubwa kwa watu hawa, ndivyo nitakavyowapa mafanikio niliyowaahidi.
For the Lord seith these thingis, As Y brouyte on this puple al this greet yuel, so Y schal brynge on hem al the good, which Y schal speke to hem.
43 Kwa mara nyingine tena mashamba yatanunuliwa katika nchi hii ambayo mlisema, ‘Imekuwa ukiwa, isiyofaa, isiyo na watu wala wanyama, kwa sababu imetiwa mikononi mwa Wakaldayo.’
And feeldis schulen be weldid in this lond, of which ye seien, that it is desert, for no man and beeste is left; and it is youun in to the hondis of Caldeis.
44 Mashamba yatanunuliwa kwa fedha, na hati zitatiwa sahihi, zitatiwa muhuri na kushuhudiwa katika nchi ya Benyamini, katika vijiji vinavyoizunguka Yerusalemu, katika miji ya Yuda na katika miji ya nchi ya vilima, sehemu za magharibi katika miji ya tambarare na katika Negebu, kwa sababu nitarudisha tena mafanikio yao, asema Bwana.”
Feeldis schulen be bouyt for money, and schulen be writun in a book, and a seel schal be preentid; and witnessis schulen be youun, in the lond of Beniamyn, and in the cumpas of Jerusalem, and in the citees of Juda, and in the citees in hilli places, and in the citees in feeldi places, and in the citees that ben at the south; for Y schal turne the caitiftee of hem, seith the Lord.
