Yeremia 5
1 “Pandeni na kushuka katika mitaa ya Yerusalemu, tazameni pande zote na mtafakari, tafuteni katika viwanja vyake. Kama mtaweza kumpata hata mtu mmoja tu atendaye kwa uaminifu na kutafuta kweli, nitausamehe mji huu.
to rove in/on/with outside Jerusalem and to see: see please and to know and to seek in/on/with street/plaza her if to find man if there to make: do justice to seek faithfulness and to forgive to/for her
2 Ingawa wanasema, ‘Kwa hakika kama Bwana aishivyo,’ bado wanaapa kwa uongo.”
and if alive LORD to say to/for so to/for deception to swear
3 Ee Bwana, je, macho yako hayaitafuti kweli? Uliwapiga, lakini hawakusikia maumivu, uliwapondaponda, lakini walikataa maonyo. Walifanya nyuso zao kuwa ngumu kuliko jiwe nao walikataa kutubu.
LORD eye your not to/for faithfulness to smite [obj] them and not to twist: writh in pain to end: destroy them to refuse to take: take discipline to strengthen: strengthen face their from crag to refuse to/for to return: repent
4 Ndipo nikasema, “Hawa ni maskini tu; wao ni wapumbavu, kwa maana hawaijui njia ya Bwana, sheria ya Mungu wao.
and I to say surely poor they(masc.) be foolish for not to know way: conduct LORD justice God their
5 Kwa hiyo nitakwenda kwa viongozi na kuzungumza nao, hakika wao wanaijua njia ya Bwana, sheria ya Mungu wao.” Lakini kwa nia moja nao pia walikuwa wameivunja nira na kuvivunja vifungo.
to go: went to/for me to(wards) [the] great: large and to speak: speak [obj] them for they(masc.) to know way: conduct LORD justice God their surely they(masc.) together to break yoke to tear bond
6 Kwa hiyo simba kutoka mwituni atawashambulia, mbwa mwitu kutoka jangwani atawaangamiza, chui atawavizia karibu na miji yao, ili kumrarua vipande vipande yeyote atakayethubutu kutoka nje, kwa maana maasi yao ni makubwa, na kukengeuka kwao kumekuwa ni kwingi.
upon so to smite them lion from wood wolf plain to ruin them leopard to watch upon city their all [the] to come out: come from them to tear for to multiply transgression their be vast (faithlessness their *Q(k)*)
7 “Kwa nini niwasamehe? Watoto wenu wameniacha na kuapa kwa miungu ambayo si miungu. Niliwapatia mahitaji yao yote, lakini bado wamefanya uzinzi na kusongana katika nyumba za makahaba.
where? to/for this (to forgive *Q(k)*) to/for you son: child your to leave: forsake me and to swear in/on/with not God and to satisfy [obj] them and to commit adultery and house: home to fornicate to cut
8 Wamelishwa vizuri, kama farasi waume wenye tamaa nyingi, kila mmoja akimlilia mke wa mwanaume mwingine.
horse to feed to lust to be man: anyone to(wards) woman: wife neighbor his to cry out
9 Je, nisiwaadhibu kwa ajili ya hili?” asema Bwana. “Je, nisijilipizie kisasi juu ya taifa kama hili?
upon these not to reckon: punish utterance LORD and if: surely no in/on/with nation which like/as this not to avenge soul: myself my
10 “Piteni katika mashamba yake ya mizabibu na kuyaharibu, lakini msiangamize kabisa. Pogoeni matawi yake, kwa kuwa watu hawa sio wa Bwana.
to ascend: rise in/on/with vine-row her and to ruin and consumption not to make to turn aside: turn aside tendril her for not to/for LORD they(masc.)
11 Nyumba ya Israeli na nyumba ya Yuda wamekuwa si waaminifu kwangu kamwe,” asema Bwana.
for to act treacherously to act treacherously in/on/with me house: household Israel and house: household Judah utterance LORD
12 Wamedanganya kuhusu Bwana. Wamesema, “Yeye hatafanya jambo lolote! Hakuna dhara litakalotupata; kamwe hatutaona upanga wala njaa.
to deceive in/on/with LORD and to say not he/she/it and not to come (in): come upon us distress: harm and sword and famine not to see: see
13 Manabii ni upepo tu, wala neno halimo ndani yao, kwa hiyo hayo wayasemayo na yatendeke kwao.”
and [the] prophet to be to/for spirit: breath and [the] statement nothing in/on/with them thus to make: do to/for them
14 Kwa hiyo hili ndilo asemalo Bwana Mungu Mwenye Nguvu Zote: “Kwa sababu watu hawa wamesema maneno haya, nitayafanya maneno yangu vinywani mwenu kuwa moto, na watu hawa wawe kuni zinazoliwa na huo moto.
to/for so thus to say LORD God Hosts because to speak: speak you [obj] [the] word [the] this look! I to give: make word my in/on/with lip your to/for fire and [the] people [the] this tree: wood and to eat them
15 Ee nyumba ya Israeli,” asema Bwana, “Ninaleta taifa toka mbali dhidi yako, taifa la kale na linaloendelea kudumu, taifa ambalo lugha yao huijui, wala msemo wao huwezi kuuelewa.
look! I to come (in): bring upon you nation from distance house: household Israel utterance LORD nation strong he/she/it nation from forever: antiquity he/she/it nation not to know tongue: language his and not to hear: understand what? to speak: speak
16 Podo zao ni kama kaburi lililo wazi, wote ni mashujaa hodari wa vita.
quiver his like/as grave to open all their mighty man
17 Watayaangamiza mazao yenu na chakula chenu, wataangamiza wana wenu na mabinti zenu; wataangamiza makundi yenu ya kondoo na ya ngʼombe, wataangamiza mizabibu yenu na mitini yenu. Kwa upanga wataangamiza miji yenye maboma mliyoitumainia.
and to eat harvest your and food your to eat son: child your and daughter your to eat flock your and cattle your to eat vine your and fig your to beat city fortification your which you(m. s.) to trust in/on/with them in/on/with sword
18 “Hata hivyo katika siku hizo, sitakuangamiza kabisa,” asema Bwana.
and also in/on/with day [the] they(masc.) utterance LORD not to make with you consumption
19 “Nao watu watakapouliza, ‘Kwa nini Bwana, Mungu wetu ametufanyia mambo haya yote?’ utawaambia, ‘Kama vile mlivyoniacha mimi na kutumikia miungu migeni katika nchi yenu wenyewe, ndivyo sasa mtakavyowatumikia wageni katika nchi ambayo si yenu.’
and to be for to say underneath: because of what? to make: do LORD God our to/for us [obj] all these and to say to(wards) them like/as as which to leave: forsake [obj] me and to serve: minister God foreign in/on/with land: country/planet your so to serve: minister be a stranger in/on/with land: country/planet not to/for you
20 “Itangazie nyumba ya Yakobo hili na ulipigie mbiu katika Yuda:
to tell this in/on/with house: household Jacob and to hear: proclaim her in/on/with Judah to/for to say
21 Sikieni hili, enyi watu wapumbavu, msio na akili, mlio na macho lakini hamwoni, mlio na masikio lakini hamsikii:
to hear: hear please this people fool and nothing heart eye to/for them and not to see: see ear to/for them and not to hear: hear
22 Je, haiwapasi kuniogopa mimi?” asema Bwana. “Je, haiwapasi kutetemeka mbele zangu? Niliufanya mchanga kuwa mpaka wa bahari, kizuizi cha milele ambacho haiwezi kupita. Mawimbi yanaweza kuumuka, lakini hayawezi kuupita; yanaweza kunguruma, lakini hayawezi kuuvuka.
[obj] me not to fear: revere utterance LORD if: surely no from face: before my not to twist: tremble which to set: put sand border: boundary to/for sea statute: allotment forever: enduring and not to pass him and to shake and not be able and to roar heap: wave his and not to pass him
23 Lakini watu hawa wana mioyo ya ukaidi na ya uasi, wamegeukia mbali na kwenda zao.
and to/for people [the] this to be heart to rebel and to rebel to turn aside: turn aside and to go: went
24 Wao hawaambiani wenyewe, ‘Sisi na tumwogope Bwana Mungu wetu, anayetupatia mvua za masika na za vuli kwa majira yake, anayetuhakikishia majuma ya mavuno kwa utaratibu.’
and not to say in/on/with heart their to fear: revere please [obj] LORD God our [the] to give: give rain (autumn rain *Q(K)*) and spring rain in/on/with time his week statute harvest to keep: guard to/for us
25 Matendo yenu mabaya yamezuia haya yote, dhambi zenu zimewazuia msipate mema.
iniquity: crime your to stretch these and sin your to withhold [the] good from you
26 “Miongoni mwa watu wangu wamo walio waovu wanaovizia kama watu wanaotega ndege, na kama wale wanaoweka mitego kuwakamata watu.
for to find in/on/with people my wicked to see like/as to subside fowler to stand destruction human to capture
27 Kama vitundu vilivyojaa ndege, nyumba zao zimejaa udanganyifu; wamekuwa matajiri na wenye nguvu,
like/as basket full bird so house: home their full deceit upon so to magnify and to enrich
28 wamenenepa na kunawiri. Matendo yao maovu hayana kikomo; hawatetei mashauri ya yatima wapate kushinda, hawatetei haki za maskini.
to grow fat to gleam also to pass: trespass word: deed bad: evil judgment not to judge judgment orphan and to prosper and justice needy not to judge
29 Je, nisiwaadhibu kwa ajili ya hili?” asema Bwana. “Je, nisijilipizie kisasi juu ya taifa kama hili?
upon these not to reckon: punish utterance LORD if: surely no in/on/with nation which like/as this not to avenge soul: myself my
30 “Jambo la kutisha na kushtusha limetokea katika nchi hii:
horror: appalled and horror to be in/on/with land: country/planet
31 Manabii wanatabiri uongo, makuhani wanatawala kwa mamlaka yao wenyewe, nao watu wangu wanapenda hivyo. Lakini mtafanya nini mwisho wake?
[the] prophet to prophesy in/on/with deception and [the] priest to scrape upon hand: themselves their and people my to love: lover so and what? to make: do to/for end her
