Yeremia 2
1 Neno la BWANA lilinijia likisema,
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
2 “Nenda ukanene katika masikio ya Yerusalemu. Useme; BWANA asema hivi: Ninakumbuka agano la uaminifu la ujana wako, upendo wako wakati tulipokuwa tumechumbiana, ulipokuwa ukinihitaji kule jangwani, katika ile nchi iliyokuwa haijapandwa.
Go and you will proclaim in [the] ears of Jerusalem saying thus he says Yahweh I remember to you [the] covenant loyalty of youth your [the] love of betrothal your walking you after me in the wilderness in a land not sown.
3 Israeli alikuwa ametengwa kwa BWANA, malimbuko yake ya mavuno yake! Wote waliokula malimbuko yake walikuwa na hatia! majanga yaliwajia—asema BWANA.'”
[was] a holy thing Israel to Yahweh [the] beginning of (produce his *Q(K)*) all [those who] devour it they will be held guilty calamity it will come to them [the] utterance of Yahweh.
4 Sikilizeni neno la BWANA, enyi nyumba ya Yakobo na kila familia katika nyumba ya Israeli.
Hear [the] word of Yahweh O house of Jacob and all [the] clans of [the] house of Israel.
5 BWANA anasema hivi, “Ni makosa gani ambayo baba zenu waliyaona kwangu, hata wakatae kunifuata mimi? hata wazifuate sanamu ambazo hazina chochote na wao kuwa si kitu?
Thus - he says Yahweh what? did they find ancestors your in me injustice that they became distant from with me and they walked after vanity and they became vain.
6 Wala hawakusema, BWANA yuko wapi, ambaye alitutoa katika nchi ya Misri? BWANA yuko wapi, ambaye alituongoza katika jangwa, katika nchi ya Araba na mashimo, katika nchi ya ukame na giza nene, katika nchi ambayo hakuna mtu apitaye wala hakuna mtu anayeishi humo?
And not they said where? [is] Yahweh who brought up us from [the] land of Egypt who led us in the wilderness in a land of desert plain and pit in a land dry and deep darkness in a land [which] not he has passed in it anyone and not he has dwelt anyone there.
7 Lakini nilwaleta katika nchi ya Kameli, ili mle matunda yake na vitu vingine vyema! Lakini mlipokuja, mliitia unajisi nchi yangu, mliufany urithi wangu kuwa chukizo!
And I brought you into [the] land of the orchard to eat fruit its and good thing[s] its and you came and you made unclean land my and inheritance my you made into an abomination.
8 Hata makuhani hawakusema, 'BWANA yuko wapi?' na watalamu wa sheria hawakunijali mimi! wachungaji wametenda dhambi dhidi yangu. Manabii wamemtolea Baali unabii na kuvitafuta vitu ambvyo havina faida.
The priests not they said where? [is] Yahweh and [those who] handled the law not they knew me and the shepherds they rebelled against me and the prophets they prophesied by Baal and after [things which] not they profited they walked.
9 Kwa hiyo nitaendelea kuwashitaki - hili ni neno la BWANA - na nitawashitiki watoto wa watoto wenu.
Therefore again I will contend with you [the] utterance of Yahweh and with [the] children of children your I will contend.
10 Kwa kuvuka kwenda hadi pwani ya Kitimu na kutazama. Tuma wajumbe kwenda Kedari na tafuta uone kama kama iliwahi kutokea hapo awali vitu kama hivi.
For pass over [the] coasts of Cyprus and see and Kedar send and consider carefully exceedingly and see there! it has happened like this.
11 Je, taifa limebadilisha miungu, hata kama haikuwa miungu? Lakini watu wangu wameubadili utukufu wao kwa kitu ambacho hakiwezi kuwasaidia.
¿ Has it exchanged a nation gods and they not [are] gods and people my it has exchanged glory its for [that which] not it profits.
12 Sitajabuni, enyi mbingu kwa sababu ya hili! Tetemekeni na kuogopa -asema BWANA.
Be appalled O heaven on this and shudder be desolate exceedingly [the] utterance of Yahweh.
13 Kwa kuwa watu wangu wametenda maovu mawili dhidi yangu: Wameziacha chemichemi za maji ya uhai kwa kuchimba mabarika kwa ajili yao, mabarika yanayovuja yasiyoweza kutunza maji!
That two evil things it has done people my me they have forsaken a spring of - water living to dig for themselves cisterns cisterns broken which not they contain water.
14 Je, Israeli ni mtumwa? Kwani hakuzaliwa nyumbani? Kwa nini sasa amekuwa nyara?
¿ A slave [is] Israel or? one born of [the] household [is] it why? has it become plunder.
15 Wanasimba wameunguruma dhidi yake. Wamepiga kelele sana na kuifanya kuwa ukiwa. Miji yake imeharibiwa na kubaki bila watu.
On it they have been roaring young lions they have given voice their and they have made land its into a waste cities its (they are burnt *Q(K)*) because not inhabitant.
16 Pia watu wa Nufu na Tahapanesi watakinyoa kichwa chako.
Also [the] people of Memphis (and Tahpanhes *Q(k)*) they will graze you scalp.
17 Je, hamkufanya haya kwa ajili yenu mlipomwacha BWANA, wakati Mungu wenu, alipokuwa akiwaongoza njiani?
¿ Not this have you done to yourself by forsaking you Yahweh God your at [the] time of [one who] led you in the way.
18 Kwa hiyo, kwa nini kutafuta msaada Misri na kunywa maji ya Shihori? Kwa nini kutafuta msaada Ashuru na kunywa maji ya Mto Frati?
And therefore what? [is] to you to [the] journey of Egypt to drink [the] water of [the] Shihor and what? [is] to you to [the] journey of Assyria to drink [the] water of [the] River.
19 Uovu wako unakukemea, na maasi yako yatakuadhibu. Kwa hiyo yafikiri hayo; tambua kuwa ni uovu na uchungu kwenu ninyi kuniacha mimi, BWANA Mungu wako, na kutokuwa na hofu yangu - asema BWANA wa majeshi.
It will punish you wickedness your and apostasies your they will rebuke you and know and see that [is] evil and bitter forsaking you Yahweh God your and not awe of me [is] with you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh of hosts.
20 Kwa kuwa niliivunja nira yenu mliyokuwa nayo wakati wa kale; Nilivichana vifungo vyako kutoka kwako. Lakini bado ulisema, 'Sitamtumikia!' tangu ulipopiga magoti katika kila kilima kuusogelea kila mti wenye majani mabichhi, enyi makahaba.
That from long ago I broke off yoke your I tore off fetters your and you said not (I will transgress *Q(K)*) for on every hill high and under every tree luxuriant you [have been] lying down a prostitute.
21 Lakini mimi mwenyewe niliwapanda kama mzabibu niliouchagua, mbegu iliyokamilika. Lakini tazama jinsi ulivyobadilika mbele yangu, na kuwa mzabibu usiofaa na mzabibu pori!
And I I had planted you a choice vine all of it [was] seed of reliability and how? have you changed yourself to me [the] degenerate [ones] of the vine alien.
22 Kwa kuwa hata kama utajisafisha mwenyewe mtoni na kuoga kwa sabuni kali, bado dhambi yako ni madoa mbele yangu - asema BWANA Mungu.
That though you will wash with soda so you may increase for yourself soap [is] stained iniquity your before me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.
23 Wawezaje kusema, 'Mimi sijanajisika! Mimi sjaenda kwa Mabaal?' Tazama tabia zako zilivyokuwa bondeni! Tambua kile ulichofanya, wewe ngamia mwepesi! akimbiaye katika njia yake!
How? will you say not I have made myself unclean after the Baals not I have walked consider conduct your in the valley recognize what? have you done a young camel swift entwining paths its.
24 Wewe ni punda wa mwitu, aliyeizoelea nyika, avutaye pumzi za upepo usiofaa katika tamaa ya kuishi! Ni nani awezaye kumgeuza anapotafuta dume la kumpanda? Na punda dume amtafutaye hajichoshi mwenyewe. Huenda kwake wakati wa mwezi wa kupandwa.
A wild donkey - accustomed to a wilderness in [the] lust of (self its *Q(K)*) it sniffs [the] wind heat its who? will he turn back it all [those who] seek it not they will grow weary in month its they will find it.
25 Lazima uizuie miguu yako isikose kiatu na koo lako kuwa na kiu! Lakini umesema, 'Hakuna matumaini! Hapana! Nawapenda wageni nami huwatafuta!'
Restrain foot your from barefoot (and throat your *Q(K)*) from thirst and you said despairing In-deed I love strange [gods] and after them I will walk.
26 Kama aibu ya mwizi ilivyo anapokuwa amekamatwa, ndivyo aibu ya Israeli itakavyokuwa - wao, wafalme wao, malikia wao, makuhani na manabii wao!
Like [the] shame of a thief if he is found so they have been put to shame [the] house of Israel they kings their officials their and priests their and prophets their.
27 Hawa ndio wale waiambiayo miti, 'Ninyi ndio baba zangu,' na mawe, 'Ninyi ndio mlinizaa.' Kwa kuwa migongo yao hunitazama na siyo nyuso zao. Hata hivyo, wakati wa shida husema, 'Amka utuokoe!'
[who] say To wood [are] father my you and to stone you (you gave birth to us *Q(K)*) for they have turned to me a back and not a face and at [the] time of calamity their they will say arise! and save us.
28 Lakini iko wapi ile miungu mliyojitengenezea? Acha hao wainuke kama wanaweza kuwaokoa wakati wa shida, kwa kuwa hizo sanamu zenu zina idadi sawa na miji yenu, katika Yuda.
And where? [are] gods your which you made for yourself let them arise if they will save you at [the] time of calamity your for [the] number of cities your they are gods your O Judah.
29 Kwa hiyo kwa nini kunituhumu kwa kufanya makosa? Ninyi nyote mmeniasi - asema BWANA wa majeshi.
Why? do you contend against me all of you you have rebelled against me [the] utterance of Yahweh.
30 Nimewadhibu watu wenu bure. Wala hawakutaka kurudiwa. Upanga wako umewaangamiza manabii wenu kama kama simba aangamizaye!
For vanity I struck sons your correction not they accepted it devoured sword your prophets your like a lion destroying.
31 Enyi watu wa kizazi hiki! Sikilizeni neno langu, neno la BWANA! Je, nimekuwa jangwa kwa Israeli? Au nchi yenye giza nene? Kwa nini watu wangu husema, 'Acha tuzungukezunguke, hatutakuja kwako tena'?
O generation you consider [the] word of Yahweh ¿ a wilderness have I been to Israel or? a land of darkness why? have they said people my we have roamed not we will come again to you.
32 Je, mwanamwali anaweza kusahau mapambo yake, na bibi arusi mavazi yake? Lakini watu wngu wamenisahau mimi kwa siku nyingi!
¿ Will she forget a virgin ornament[s] her a bride sashes her and people my they have forgotten me days there not [is] number.
33 Jinsi mlivyotengeneza njia zenu vizuri ili kutafuta mapenzi. Hata mmewafundisha njia zenu wanawake waovu.
How! you make good way your to seek love therefore also wicked women (you have taught *Q(K)*) ways your.
34 Damu ambayo ilikuwa ndio uhai wa watu wasio na hatia, imeonekana katika mavazi yenu. Hawa watu hawajawahi kuonekana katika matendo maovu.
Also on skirts your they were found [the] blood of [the] lives of needy [people] innocent not in breaking in you found them for on all these [things].
35 Pamoja na mambo haya yote, wewe unaeendelea kusema kuwa hauna hatia. Kwa hakika hasira ya BWANA itageuka kutoka kwangu. 'Lakini tazama! Utahukumiwa kwa sababu, 'Sikutenda dhambi.'
And you said that I am innocent surely it has turned back anger his from me here I [am] about to enter into judgment with with you because saying you not I have sinned.
36 Kwa nini mnatangatanga kwa urahisi katika njia zenu? Pia Misri itawahuzunisha sana, kama ilivyokuwa kwa Ashuru.
Why? do you treat lightly exceedingly to change way your also from Egypt you will be ashamed just as you were ashamed from Assyria.
37 Mtaondoka hapo mkiwa mmehuzunika sana, mkiwa mmeweka mikono vichwani mwenu, kwa kuwa BWANA amemkutaa yule mliyemtumainia, kwa hiyo hamtapata msaada toka kwao,”
Also from with this [one] you will go out and hands your [will be] on head your for he has rejected Yahweh objects of confidence your and not you will prosper to them.
