Yeremia 44
1 Neno hili lilimjia Yeremia kuhusu Wayahudi wote waishio Misri, huko Migdoli, Tahpanhesi na Memfisi, katika nchi ya Pathrosi kusema:
The word that was maad to Jeremye, and to alle the Jewis, that dwelliden in the lond of Egipt, dwellinge in Magdalo, and in Taphnys, and in Memphis, and in the lond of Phatures,
2 “Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, Mungu wa Israeli: Mliona maangamizi makubwa niliyoyaleta juu ya Yerusalemu na juu ya miji yote ya Yuda. Leo imeachwa ukiwa na magofu
and seide, The Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, Ye sien al this yuel, which Y brouyte on Jerusalem, and on alle the citees of Juda; and lo! tho ben forsakun to dai, and no dwellere is in tho;
3 kwa sababu ya uovu waliokuwa wameufanya. Walinikasirisha kwa kufukiza uvumba na kwa kuabudu miungu mingine ambayo kamwe wao, wala ninyi, wala baba zenu hawakuifahamu.
for the malice which thei diden, to terre me to wrathfulnesse, and that thei yeden, and maden sacrifice, and worschipiden alien goddis, whiche thei knewen not, bothe ye, and thei, and youre fadris.
4 Tena na tena, niliwatuma watumishi wangu manabii ambao walisema, ‘Msifanye jambo hili la kuchukiza ambalo nalichukia!’
And Y sente to you alle my seruauntis profetis; and Y roos bi nyyte, and sente, and seide, Nyle ye do the word of sich abhomynacioun.
5 Lakini hawakusikiliza wala hawakujali, hawakugeuka ili kuuacha uovu wao, wala hawakuacha kufukiza uvumba kwa miungu mingine.
And thei herden not, nether bowiden doun her eere, that thei schulen be conuertid fro her yuels, and schulden not make sacrifice to alien goddis.
6 Kwa hiyo hasira yangu kali ilimwagika, ikawaka dhidi ya miji ya Yuda na barabara za Yerusalemu, na kuifanya ukiwa na magofu kama ilivyo leo.
And myn indignacioun and my strong veniaunce is wellid togidere, and is kindlid in the citees of Juda, and in the stretis of Jerusalem; and tho ben turned in to wildirnesse, and wastnesse, bi this dai.
7 “Basi hili ndilo Bwana Mungu Mwenye Nguvu Zote, Mungu wa Israeli, asemalo: Kwa nini kujiletea maafa makubwa kama haya juu yenu kwa kujikatilia mbali kutoka Yuda wanaume na wanawake, watoto na wanyonyao, hata kujiacha bila mabaki?
And now the Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, Whi doon ye this greet yuel ayens youre soulis, that a man of you perische and a womman a litil child and soukynge perische, fro the myddis of Juda, nether ony residue thing be left in you,
8 Kwa nini kuichochea hasira yangu kwa kile ambacho mikono yenu imekitengeneza, mkaifukizia uvumba miungu mingine huko Misri, mahali mlipokuja kuishi? Mtajiangamiza wenyewe na kujifanya kitu cha kulaania na shutumu miongoni mwa mataifa yote duniani.
that terre me to wraththe bi the werkis of youre hondis, in makynge sacrifice to alien goddis in the lond of Egipt, in to which ye entriden, that ye dwelle there, and that ye perische, and be in to cursyng, and in to schenschipe to alle the folkis of erthe?
9 Je, mmesahau uovu uliotendwa na baba zenu, na wafalme na malkia wa Yuda, na uovu uliofanywa na ninyi na wake zenu katika nchi ya Yuda na barabara za Yerusalemu?
Whether ye han foryete the yuels of youre fadris, and the yuels of the kingis of Juda, and the yuels of her wiues, and youre yuels, and the yuels of youre wyues, whiche thei diden in the lond of Juda, and in the cuntreis of Jerusalem?
10 Mpaka leo hawajajinyenyekeza au kuonyesha heshima, wala hawajafuata sheria yangu na amri nilizoweka mbele yenu na baba zenu.
Thei ben not clensid `til to this dai, and thei dredden not, and thei yeden not in the lawe of the Lord, and in myn heestis, whiche Y yaf bifore you, and bifore youre fadris.
11 “Kwa hiyo, hili ndilo Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, Mungu wa Israeli, asemalo: Mimi nimekusudia kuleta maafa juu yenu, na kuiangamiza Yuda yote.
Therfor the Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal sette my face in you in to yuel,
12 Nitawaondoa mabaki ya Yuda waliokusudia kwenda Misri kukaa humo. Wote wataangamia huko Misri, wataanguka kwa upanga au kufa kwa njaa. Kuanzia aliye mdogo kabisa hadi aliye mkuu sana, watakufa kwa upanga au njaa. Watakuwa kitu cha kulaania na cha kutisha, cha laumu na shutumu.
and Y schal leese al Juda, and Y schal take the remenauntis of Juda, that settiden her faces, to go in to the lond of Egipt, and to dwelle there; and alle schulen be waastid in the lond of Egipt, thei schulen falle doun bi swerd, and schulen be wastid in hungur, fro the leeste `til to the mooste, thei schulen die bi swerd and hungur, and schulen be in to swering, and in to myracle, and in to cursyng, and in to schenschipe.
13 Nitawaadhibu wale waishio Misri kwa upanga, njaa na tauni kama nilivyoiadhibu Yerusalemu.
And Y schal visite on the dwelleris of Egipt, as Y visitide on Jerusalem, in swerd, and in hungur, and in pestilence.
14 Hakuna hata mmoja wa mabaki ya Yuda ambaye amekwenda kuishi Misri atakayeepuka au kunusurika ili kurudi katika nchi ya Yuda, ambayo wanaitamani sana kurudi na kuishi ndani yake, hakuna hata mmoja atakayerudi isipokuwa wakimbizi wachache.”
And noon schal be, that schal ascape, and be residue of the remenauntis of Jewis, that goen to be pilgrimys in the lond of Egipt, and to turne ayen to the lond of Juda, to which thei reisen her soulis, that thei turne ayen, and dwelle there; thei schulen not turne ayen thidir, no but thei that fledden.
15 Kisha wanaume wote ambao walijua kwamba wake zao walikuwa wakifukiza uvumba kwa miungu mingine, pamoja na wanawake wote waliokuwako, yaani, kusanyiko kubwa na watu wote walioishi nchi ya Misri na Pathrosi, wakamwambia Yeremia,
Forsothe alle men answeriden to Jeremye, and wisten, that her wyues maden sacrifice to alien goddis, and alle wymmen, of whiche a greet multitude stood, and alle the puple of dwelleris in the lond of Egipt, in Fatures, and seiden,
16 “Hatutausikiliza ujumbe uliotuambia katika jina la Bwana!
We schulen not here of thee the word which thou spekist to vs in the name of oure Lord God,
17 Hakika tutafanya kila kitu tulichosema tutakifanya: Tutafukiza uvumba kwa Malkia wa Mbinguni na tutammiminia sadaka zetu za kinywaji kama vile sisi na baba zetu, wafalme wetu na maafisa wetu tulivyofanya katika miji ya Yuda na katika barabara za Yerusalemu. Wakati ule tulikuwa na chakula tele, tulikuwa matajiri wala hatukupata dhara lolote.
but we doynge schulen do ech word that schal go out of oure mouth, that we make sacrifice to the queen of heuene, and that we offre to it moist sacrifices, as we diden, and oure fadris, oure kingis, and oure princes, in the citees of Juda, and in the stretis of Jerusalem; and we weren fillid with looues, and it was wel to vs, and we sien noon yuel.
18 Lakini tangu tulipoacha kumfukizia uvumba Malkia wa Mbinguni na kummiminia sadaka za kinywaji, hatupati chochote, na tumekuwa tukiangamizwa kwa upanga na njaa.”
But fro that tyme, in which we ceessiden to make sacrifice to the queen of heuene, and to offre to it moist sacrifices, we hadden nede to alle thingis, and we weren wastid bi swerd and hungur.
19 Wanawake wakaongeza kusema, “Wakati tulipomfukizia uvumba Malkia wa Mbinguni na kummiminia sadaka zetu za kinywaji, je, waume zetu hawakujua kwamba tulikuwa tukitengeneza maandazi kwa mfano wake, na kummiminia yeye sadaka za kinywaji?”
That if we maken sacrifice to the queen of heuene, and offren to it moist sacrifices, whether withouten oure hosebondis we maden to it cakis, to worschipe it, and looues to be offrid?
20 Ndipo Yeremia akawaambia watu wote, wanaume na wanawake waliokuwa wakimjibu,
And Jeremye seide to al the puple, ayens the men, and ayens the wymmen, and ayens al the puple, that answeriden to hym the word, and he seide,
21 “Je, Bwana hakukumbuka na kufikiri juu ya uvumba uliofukizwa katika miji ya Yuda na barabara za Yerusalemu na ninyi pamoja na baba zenu, wafalme wenu, maafisa wenu na watu wa nchi?
Whether not the sacrifice which ye sacrifisiden in the citees of Juda, and in the stretis of Jerusalem, ye, and youre fadris, youre kyngis, and youre princes, and the puple of the lond, terriden God to veniaunce? The Lord hadde mynde on these thingis, and it stiede on his herte;
22 Bwana alipokuwa hawezi kuendelea kuvumilia matendo yenu maovu na mambo ya machukizo mliyoyafanya, nchi yenu ilikuwa kitu cha kulaania na kuachwa ukiwa pasipo wakazi, kama ilivyo leo.
and the Lord myyte no more bere, for the malice of youre studies, and for abhomynaciouns whiche ye diden. And youre lond is maad in to desolacioun, and in to wondryng, and in to curs, for no dwellere is, as this dai is.
23 Kwa sababu mmefukiza uvumba na kufanya dhambi dhidi ya Bwana, nanyi hamkumtii wala kufuata sheria yake au amri zake au maagizo yake, maafa haya yamekuja juu yenu, kama mnavyoona sasa.”
Therfor for ye maden sacrifice to idols, and synneden to the Lord, and herden not the vois of the Lord, and yeden not in the lawe, and in the comandementis, and in the witnessis of hym, therfor these yuels bifellen to you, as this dai is.
24 Kisha Yeremia akawaambia watu wote, pamoja na wanawake, “Sikieni neno la Bwana, enyi watu wote wa Yuda mlioko Misri.
Forsothe Jeremye seide to al the puple, and to alle the wymmen, Al Juda, that ben in the lond of Egipt, here ye the word of the Lord.
25 Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana Mwenye Nguvu Zote, Mungu wa Israeli: Ninyi na wake zenu mmeonyesha kwa matendo yenu kile mlichoahidi mliposema, ‘Hakika tutatimiza nadhiri tulizoziweka za kumfukizia uvumba na kummiminia sadaka za kinywaji Malkia wa Mbinguni.’ “Endeleeni basi, fanyeni yale mliyoahidi! Timizeni nadhiri zenu!
The Lord of oostis, God of Israel, seith these thingis, and spekith, Ye and youre wyues spaken with youre mouth, and filliden with youre hondis, and seiden, Make we oure vowis whiche we vowiden, that we make sacrifice to the queen of heuene, and offre to it moist sacrifices; ye filliden youre vowis, and diden tho in werk.
26 Lakini sikieni neno la Bwana, enyi Wayahudi wote mnaoishi Misri: ‘Ninaapa kwa Jina langu lililo kuu,’ asema Bwana, ‘kwamba hakuna hata mmoja atokaye Yuda anayeishi popote Misri ambaye kamwe ataomba tena kwa Jina langu au kuapa, akisema, “Hakika kama Bwana Mwenyezi aishivyo.”
Therfor, al Juda, that dwellen in the lond of Egipt, here ye the word of the Lord; Lo! Y swoor in my greet name, seith the Lord, that my name schal no more be clepid bi the mouth of ech man Jew, seiynge, The Lord God lyueth, in al the lond of Egipt.
27 Kwa maana ninawaangalia kwa ajili ya madhara, wala sio kwa mema. Wayahudi walioko Misri wataangamia kwa upanga na njaa, hadi wote watakapoangamizwa.
Lo! Y schal wake on hem in to yuel, and not in to good; and alle the men of Juda, that ben in the lond of Egipt, schulen be waastid, bi swerd and hungur, til thei be wastid outerli.
28 Wale watakaonusurika upanga na kurudi katika nchi ya Yuda kutoka Misri watakuwa wachache sana. Ndipo mabaki wote wa Yuda waliokuja kuishi Misri watakapojua ni neno la nani litakalosimama, kwamba ni langu au lao.
And a fewe men that fledden the swerd, schulen turne ayen fro the lond of Egipt in to the lond of Juda; and alle the remenauntis of Juda, of hem that entren in to the lond of Egipt, to dwelle there, schulen wite, whos word schal be fillid, myn ether hern.
29 “‘Hii itakuwa ndiyo ishara kwenu kwamba nitawaadhibu mahali hapa, asema Bwana, ili mpate kujua kuwa onyo langu la madhara dhidi yenu hakika litatimizwa.’
And this schal be a signe to you, seith the Lord, that Y schal visite on you in this place, that ye wite, that verili my wordis schulen be fillid ayens you in to yuel.
30 Hili ndilo asemalo Bwana: ‘Nitamtia Farao Hofra mfalme wa Misri mikononi mwa adui zake wanaoutafuta uhai wake, kama vile nilivyomtia Sedekia mfalme wa Yuda mikononi mwa Nebukadneza mfalme wa Babeli, adui aliyekuwa akiutafuta uhai wake.’”
The Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal bitake Farao, the kyng of Egipt, in to the hond of hise enemyes, and in to the hond of hem that seken his lijf, as Y bitook Sedechie, the kyng of Juda, in to the hond of Nabugodonosor, kyng of Babiloyne, his enemye, and sekynge his lijf.
