< Yeremia 25 >
1 Hili ndilo neno ambalo lilimjia Yeremia juu ya watu wote wa Yuda. Ikawa mwaka wa nne wa Yehoyakimu, mwana wa Yosia, mfalme wa Yuda. Huo ndio mwaka wa kwanza wa Nebukadreza, mfalme wa Babeli.
The word which it came to Jeremiah on all [the] people of Judah in the year fourth of Jehoiakim [the] son of Josiah [the] king of Judah it [was] the year first of Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon.
2 Yeremia nabii aliwahubiria watu wote wa Yuda na wenyeji wote wa Yerusalemu.
Which he spoke Jeremiah the prophet to all [the] people of Judah and to all [the] inhabitants of Jerusalem saying.
3 Akasema, “Kwa miaka ishirini na mitatu, tangu mwaka wa kumi na tatu wa Yosia mwana wa Amoni, mfalme wa Yuda mpaka leo, maneno ya Bwana yamekuja kwangu. Nimewahubiria ninyi. Nilikuwa na nia ya kutangaza, lakini hamkunisikiliza.
Since thir-teen year of Josiah [the] son of Amon [the] king of Judah and until - the day this this three and twenty year[s] it has come [the] word of Yahweh to me and I have spoken to you rising early and speaking and not you have listened.
4 Bwana akawapeleka watumishi wake wote manabii kwako. Walikuwa na nia ya kwenda, lakini hukusikiliza wala kutega masikio.
And he sent Yahweh to you all servants his the prophets rising early and sending and not you listened and not you inclined ear your to listen.
5 Manabaii hawa walisema, 'Kila mtu auache uovu wake na udhalimu wa matendo yake na kurudi kwenye nchi ambayo Yahwe aliitoa wakati wa zamanai kwa ajili ya babu zenu na ninyi, kama zawadi ya kudumu.
Saying turn back please everyone from way his evil and from [the] wickedness of deeds your and dwell on the land which he gave Yahweh to you and to ancestors your from antiquity and until perpetuity.
6 Kwa hiyo msiifuate miungu mingine ili kuiabudu au kuiinamia chini, na msimkasirishe kwa kazi ya mikono yenu ili kwamba awaumize.
And may not you walk after gods other to serve them and to bow down to them and not you must provoke to anger me by [the] work of hands your and not I will do harm to you.
7 Lakini hamkunisikiliza-hili ndilo tamko la Bwana-kwa hiyo umenikasirisha kwa kazi ya mikono yako ili kujidhuru nafsi zemu.
And not you have listened to me [the] utterance of Yahweh so as (to provoke to anger me *Q(K)*) by [the] work of hands your for harm of you.
8 Basi, Bwana wa majeshi asema hivi, 'Kwa kuwa hukusikiliza maneno yangu,
Therefore thus he says Yahweh of hosts because that not you have listened to words my.
9 tazama, nitaagiza amri ya kukusanya watu wote wa kaskazini- asema Bwana- na Nebukadreza, mtumishi wangu, mfalme wa Babeli, na kuwaleta juu ya nchi hii na wenyeji wake, na juu ya mataifa yote yaliyo karibu nawe. Kwa maana nitawaangamiza. Nitawageuza kuwa na hofu, kuwa kitu cha kuzomewa na ukiwa wa daima.
Here I [am] about to send and I will fetch all [the] clans of [the] north [the] utterance of Yahweh and to Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon servant my and I will bring them on the land this and on inhabitants its and on all the nations these round about and I will totally destroy them and I will make them into a waste and into a hissing and into ruins of perpetuity.
10 Sauti ya furaha na sherehe-sauti ya bwana arusi na bibi arusi, sauti ya mawe ya kusagia na mwanga wa taa-nitafanya mambo yote haya kutoweka kutoka kwa mataifa haya.
And I will destroy from them [the] sound of joy and [the] sound of gladness [the] sound of a bridegroom and [the] sound of a bride [the] sound of a hand-mill and [the] light of a lamp.
11 Ndipo nchi hii yote itakuwa ukiwa na hofu, na mataifa haya watamtumikia mfalme wa Babeli kwa miaka sabini.
And it will become all the land this a desolation a waste and they will serve the nations these [the] king of Babylon seventy year[s].
12 Kisha miaka sabini itakapokamilika, nitamuadhibu mfalme wa Babeli na taifa hilo, nchi ya Wakaldayo-hili ndilo tamko la Bwana-kwa uovu wao na kuifanya kuwa ukiwa milele.
And it will be when are completed seventy year[s] I will visit [judgment] on [the] king of Babylon and on the nation that [the] utterance of Yahweh iniquity their and on [the] land of [the] Chaldeans and I will make it into desolations of perpetuity.
13 Nami nitaleta juu ya nchi hiyo maneno yote niliyosema, na kila kitu kilichoandikwa katika kitabu hiki ambacho Yeremia ametabiri juu ya mataifa yote.
(And I will bring *Q(k)*) on the land that all words my which I spoke on it every [thing] written in the book this which he prophesied Jeremiah on all the nations.
14 Kwa maana pia mataifa mengi na wafalme wakuu watapata watumwa kutoka mataifa haya. Nitawalipa kwa matendo yao na kazi za mikono yao.'”
For they will work by them also they nations many and kings great and I will repay to them according to deed[s] their and according to [the] work of hands their.
15 Kwa kuwa Bwana, Mungu wa Israeli, asema hivi, “Chukua kikombe hiki cha divai ya ghadhabu kutoka mkononi mwangu, ukawanyweshe mataifa yote niliyokutuma.
For thus he said Yahweh [the] God of Israel to me take [the] cup of wine the rage this from hand my and you will make drink it all the nations which I [am] sending you to them.
16 Kwa maana watakunywa na kisha watalewa na kufanya wazimu mbele ya upanga ambao nitaupeleka kati yao.”
And they will drink and they will stagger to and fro and they will act like mad people because of the sword which I [am] about to send between them.
17 Basi, nikakichukua kikombe mkononi mwa Bwana, nikawanywesha mataifa yote ambayo Bwana alinituma:
And I took the cup from [the] hand of Yahweh and I made drink all the nations which he sent me Yahweh to them.
18 Yerusalemu, miji ya Yuda, na wafalme wake, na wakuu wake, na kuwafanya kuwa ukiwa na kitu cha kutisha, na kuwa kitu cha kuzomewa na laana, kama ilivyo hata leo.
Jerusalem and [the] cities of Judah and kings its officials its to make them into a ruin into a waste into a hissing and into a curse as the day this.
19 Mataifa mengine pia walipaswa kunywa: Farao mfalme wa Misri na watumishi wake; maafisa wake na watu wake wote;
Pharaoh [the] king of Egypt and servants his and officials his and all people his.
20 watu wote wa urithi wa mchanganyiko na wafalme wote wa nchi ya Uzi; na wafalme wote wa nchi ya Wafilisti, na Ashkeloni, na Gaza, na Ekroni, na mabaki ya Ashdodi;
And every foreigner and all [the] kings of [the] land of Uz and all [the] kings of [the] land of [the] Philistines and Ashkelon and Gaza and Ekron and [the] remnant of Ashdod.
21 Edomu na Moabu na wana wa Amoni.
Edom and Moab and [the] people of Ammon.
22 Wafalme wa Tiro na Sidoni, wafalme wa pwani ng'ambo ya pili ya bahari,
And all [the] kings of Tyre and all [the] kings of Sidon and [the] kings of the coastland which [is] on [the] other side of the sea.
23 Dedani, Tema, na Busi pamoja na wale wanyoao nywele zao upande wa pili wa vichwa vyao, pia walipaswa kukinywa.
And Dedan and Tema and Buz and all [those who] are cut off of [the] corner.
24 Watu hawa pia walitakiwa kukinywa; wafalme wote wa Uarabuni na wafalme wote wa watu wa asili mchanganyiko wanaoishi nyikani;
And all [the] kings of Arabia and all [the] kings of the Arab[s] who dwell in the wilderness.
25 wafalme wote wa Zimri, wafalme wote wa Elamu, na wafalme wote wa Wamedi;
And - all [the] kings of Zimri and all [the] kings of Elam and all [the] kings of Media.
26 wafalme wote wa kaskazini, wale wa karibu na wale wa mbali—kila mmoja na ndugu zake na falme zote za ulimwengu ambazo ziko chini ya uso wa dunia. Hatimaye mfalme wa Babeli atakunywa baada yao wote.
And - all [the] kings of the north near and far each to brother his and all the kingdoms of the earth which [are] on [the] surface of the ground and [the] king of Sheshach he will drink after them.
27 Bwana akaniambia, “Basi, uwaambie, 'Bwana wa majeshi, Mungu wa Israeli, asema hivi kunywa na kulewa, kisha tapika, uanguke, wala usisimame mbele ya upanga nitakaoutuma kati yenu.'
And you will say to them. Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel drink and become drunk and vomit and fall down and not you will rise because of the sword which I [am] about to send between you.
28 Kisha itatokea kwamba ikiwa wanakataa kuchukua kikombe mkononi mwako ili kunywa, utawaambia, 'Bwana wa majeshi asema hii lazima mnywe.
And it will be that they will refuse to take the cup from hand your to drink and you will say to them thus he says Yahweh of hosts certainly you will drink.
29 Kwa maana, tazama, nitaleta janga juu ya mji ulioitwa kwa jina langu, je ninyi mtaachiliwa msiadhibiwe? Hutakuwa huru, kwa maana nitaita upanga juu ya wenyeji wote wa nchi! - ndilo tamko la Bwana wa majeshi.'
For here! on the city which it is called name my on it I [am] beginning to do harm and you certainly will you be exempt from punishment? not you will be exempt from punishment for a sword I [am] calling on all [the] inhabitants of the earth [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts.
30 Basi wewe mwenyewe, Yeremia, tabiri kwao maneno haya yote. Uwaambie, 'Bwana atanguruma kutoka juu, naye atapaza sauti yake toka makao yake matakatifu, na radi kutoka mahali pake patakatifu; naye atapiga kelele kama wale wakanyagao zabibu dhidi ya wote wanaoishi duniani.
And you you will prophesy to them all the words these and you will say to them Yahweh from a high place he will roar and from [the] dwelling of holiness his he will give forth voice his certainly he will roar on habitation his a shout like [those who] tread he will sing to all [the] inhabitants of the earth.
31 Kelele huja mpaka mwisho wa nchi, kwa sababu mgogoro kutoka kwa Bwana utaleta mashtaka dhidi ya mataifa. Ataleta haki kwa wote wenye mwili. Yeye atawatia waovu katika upanga-hili ndi'o tamko la Bwana.'
It has come an uproar to [the] end of the earth for a controversy [belongs] to Yahweh on the nations [is] about to enter into judgment he to all flesh the wicked [people] he has delivered up them to the sword [the] utterance of Yahweh.
32 Bwana wa majeshi asema hivi, 'Tazameni, taabu itatokea toka kwa taifa hadi taifa, na dhoruba kubwa itatokea toka pande za mwisho za dunia.
Thus he says Yahweh of hosts there! calamity [is] about to go forth from nation to nation and a storm great it will be roused from [the] remotest parts of [the] earth.
33 Kisha wale waliouawa na Bwana watakuja kutoka upande mmoja wa dunia hadi mwingine; hawataomboleza, kukusanyika, au kuzikwa. Watakuwa kama samadi chini.
And they will be [those] slain of Yahweh on the day that from [the] end of the earth and to [the] end of the earth not they will be mourned and not they will be gathered and not they will be buried dung on [the] surface of the ground they will become.
34 Pigeni Yowe, wachungaji, na pigeni kelele ya kuomba msaada! Gaagaa katika ardhi, enyi mlio hodari katika kundi. Kwa kuwa siku yako ya kuuawa na kutawanywa imekuja. Utaanguka kama kondoo waliochaguliwa.
Wail O shepherds and cry out and roll in ashes O noble [ones] of the flock for they have been completed days your to slaughter and dispersions your and you will fall like a vessel of desire.
35 Wachungaji hawatakuwa na pa kukimbilia. Hakuna kutoroka kwa watu walio hodari katika kundi.
And it will be lost a place of escape from the shepherds and escape from [the] noble [ones] of the flock.
36 Kuna mlio wa wasiwasi wa wachungaji na milio ya kulalama kwa watu walio hodari katika kundi, kwa kuwa Yahweh anayaharibu malisho yao.
[the] sound of [the] cry of distress of The shepherds and [the] wailing of [the] noble [ones] of the flock for [is] destroying Yahweh pasture their.
37 Kwa hiyo, malisho ya amani yataharibiwa kwa sababu ya hasira ya Bwana.
And they will be devastated [the] pastures of peace because of [the] burning of [the] anger of Yahweh.
38 Kama simba, ameacha shimo lake, kwa kuwa ardhi yao itakuwa kitu cha kushangaza kwa sababu ya hasira ya muonevu, kwa sababu ya ghadhabu yake kali'”
He has left like young lion lair his for it has become land their a waste because of [the] anger of the oppressor and because of [the] burning of anger his.
