Yeremia 10
1 “Sikilizeni neno ambalo BWANA anawaambieni, enyi nyumba ya Israeli.
Hear the word which he has spoken Yahweh to you O house of Israel.
2 BWANA asema hivi, 'msijifunze njia za mataifa, na msishangazwe na ishara za mbinguni, kwa kuwa mataifa hushangazwa na haya.
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 kuwa desturi za watu ni ubatili. Kwa kuwa mtu mmoja hukata mti msituni; kazi ya mikono ya mtu na shoka.
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 Kisha huzipamba kwa fedha na dhahabu. Huikaza kwa misumari na nyundo ili isitikisike.
With silver and with gold he beautifies it with nails and with hammers they make strong them and not it will wobble.
5 Sanamu hizi ni mfano wa sanamu za kutishia ndege katika shamba la matango, kwa kuwa haziwezi kusema chochote. Hubebwa, kwa kuwa haziwezi hata kusogea hatua moja. Usiwaogope, Kwani hawawezi kutenda maovu wala mema.”
[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, BWANA. Wewe ni mkuu, na jina lako lina nguvu.
From there not [is] like you O Yahweh [are] great you and [is] great name your in strength.
7 Ni nani asiyekuwa na hofu juu yako, wafalme wa mataifa? Kwa kuwa hiki ndicho unachostahili, kwa kuwa hakuna wa kuwa kama wewe kati ya wote wenye hekima katika mataifa yote au katika hali yao ya enzi.
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 wako sawa, ni kama wanyama na wapumbavu, wanafunzi wa samamu ambazo si chochote isipokuwa miti tu.
And in one they are stupid and they may be foolish [the] correction of futilities [is] wood it.
9 Wanaleta fedha iliyofuliwa kutoka Tarshishi, na dhahabu kutoka Ufazi iliyotengenezwa na sonara, ni kazi ya ustadi. Mavazi yao ni ya rangi ya samawi na urujuani. Watu wao stadi waliyafanya haya yote.
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 ni Mungu aliye hai na mfalme wa milele. Matetemeko yako katika hasira yake, na mataifa hayawezi kuvumilia 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 Utawaambia hivi, “Miungu ambayo haikuumba mbingu na nchi itaangamia katika dunia hii na 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 Aliyeiumba dunia kwa nguvu zake aliumba nchi kavu kwa hekima zake na kuzitandaza mbingu kwa fahamu zake.
[he] made [the] earth By power his [he] established [the] world by wisdom his and by understanding his he stretched out [the] heavens.
13 Sauti yake ndiyo itengenezayo muungurumo wa maji mbinguni, naye huzileta mbingu katika mwisho wa dunia. Hutengeneza radi kwa ajili ya mvua na kutuma upepo kutoka katika hazina yake.
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 mtu amekuwa mjinga, hawana maarifa. Kila mfua chuma ameaibishwa kwa sanamu zake. Maana sanamu yake ya kuyeyushwa ni uongo; hakuna pumzi ndani yake.
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 Ni ubatili tu, ni kazi ya udanganyifu; zitapotea wakati wa hukumu.
[are] futility They a work of mockery at [the] time of punishment their they will perish.
16 Lakini Mungu ni fungu la Yakobo, si kama hawa, kwa kuwa yeye ndiye aliyeviumba vitu vyote. Israeli ni kabila ya urithi wake; BWANA wa majeshi ndiye 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 Kusanya vitu vyako na uiache nchi, wewe ambaye umekuwa ukiishi katika mazingiwa haya.
Gather up from [the] ground bundle your (O [you who] dwell *Q(K)*) in the siege.
18 Kwa kuwa BWANA asema hivi, “Tazama, Ni tayari kuwatupa wakazi wa nchi nje wakati huu. Nitawasababishia huzuni, na itakuwa hivyo.”
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! Kwa sababu ya mifupa yangu iliyovunjika, Jeraha zangu zimeumia. Kwa hiyo nilisema. “Hakika haya ni maumivu, lakini lazima nivumilie.”
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 yangu imeharibiwa, na kamba za hema yangu zote zimekatwa. Wamewachukua watoto wangu wote, Kwa hiyo hawaishi tena. Hakuna tena mtu wa kuitandaza hema yangu au wa kuziinua pazia za hema yangu.
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 Kwa kuwa wachungaji wamekuwa wapumbavu. Hawamtafuti BWANA. Kwa hiyo hawana mafanikio; Kondoo wao wote wamesambaa.
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 Taarifa imewadia, “Tazama! inakuja, tetemeko kubwa linakuja kutoka katika nchi ya kaskazini kuifanya miji ya Yuda kuwa ukiwa, na maficho 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, BWANA, kwamba njia ya mtu haiji kutoka kwake. Wala hakuna mtu atembeaye anayeongoza 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 Ee BWANA, unirudi, kwa hukumu za haki, si kwa hasira zako vinginevyo utaniangamiza.
Correct me O Yahweh only in justice may not [it be] in anger your lest you should diminish me.
25 Mwaga hasira zako kwa mataifa ambao hawakujui na katika familia ambazo hawakuiti kwa jina lako. Kwa kuwa wamemla Yakobo na kumwangamiza kabisa na kuyafanya makao yake kuwa ukiwa.
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.
