< Yeremia 26 >
1 Mwanzoni mwa utawala wake Yehoyakimu mwana wa Yosia, neno likaja kutoka kwa Yeremia, likisema,
In the bigynnyng of the rewme of Joachym, the sone of Josie, kyng of Juda, this word was maad of the Lord, and seide,
2 “Yahwe anasema hivi: Simama katika uwanja wa nyumba yangu na sema kuhusu miji yote ya Yuda ambao huja kuabudu katika nyumba yangu. Tangaza maneno yote niliyokuamuru kuyasema kwao. Usipunguze neno lolote!
The Lord seide these thingis, Stonde thou in the porche of the hous of the Lord, and thou schalt speke to alle the citees of Juda, fro whiche thei comen for to worschipe in the hous of the Lord, alle the wordis whiche Y comaundide to thee, that thou speke to hem; nyle thou withdrawe a word;
3 Labda watasikiliza, kwamba kila mtu ataziacha njia zake mbaya, ili nighairi majanga ninayokusudia kuyaleta juu yao kwa sababu ya uovu wa matendo yao.
if perauenture thei heren, and ben conuertid, ech man fro his yuele weie, and it repente me of the yuel which Y thouyte to do to hem for the malices of her studies.
4 Kwa hiyo lazima useme kwao, 'Yahwe anasema hivi: Kama hamtanisikiliza ili mtembee katika sheria yangu ambayo nimeiweka mbele yenu—
And thou schalt seie to hem, The Lord seith these thingis, If ye heren not me, that ye go in my lawe which Y yaf to you,
5 kama hamsikilizi maneno ya watumishi wangu manabii ambao naendelea kuwatuma kwenu—lakini hamjasikiliza! —
that ye here the wordis of my seruauntis, profetis, whiche Y risynge bi niyte, and dressynge, sente to you, and ye herden not;
6 kisha nitaifanya nyumba hii kuwa kama Shilo; nitaifanya nyumba hii kuwa laana katika macho ya mataifa yote juu ya dunia.
Y schal yyue this hous as Silo, and Y schal yyue this citee in to cursyng to alle folkis of erthe.
7 Makuhani, manabii, na watu wote wakamsikia Yeremia akitangaza maneno haya katika nyumba ya Yahwe.
And the prestis, and profetis, and al the puple herden Jeremye spekynge these wordis in the hous of the Lord.
8 Kwa hiyo ikatokea kwamba Yeremia alipomaliza kutangaza aliyokuwa Yahwe alimwwamuru kuyasema kwa watu wote, makuhani, manabii, na watu wote wakamsimamisha na kusema, “Hakika utakufa!
And whanne Jeremye hadde fillid spekynge alle thingis, whiche the Lord hadde comaundid to hym, that he schulde speke to al the puple, the prestis, and profetis, and al the puple token hym, and seiden, Die he bi deeth;
9 Kwa nini umetabiri katika jina la Yahwe na kusema kwamba nyumba hii itakuwa kama Shilo na mji huu utakuwa ukiwa, pasipo wakaaji?” Kwa maana watu wote wameunda kundi dhidi ya nyumba ya Yeremia.
whi profesiede he in the name of the Lord, and seide, This hous schal be as Silo, and this citee schal be desolat, for no dwellere is? And al the puple was gaderid togidere ayens Jeremye, in the hous of the Lord.
10 Kisha wakuu wa Yuda wakasikia maneno haya na wakapanda kutoka nyumba ya mfalme kwenda kwenye nyumba ya Yahwe. Wakakaa katika njia ya lango katika Lango Jipya la nyumba ya Yahwe.
And the princes of Juda herden alle these wordis; and thei stieden fro the kyngis hous in to the hous of the Lord, and saten in the entryng of the newe yate of the hous of the Lord.
11 Makuhani na manabii wakasema kwa wakuu wa Yuda na kwa watu wote. Wakasema, “Ni haki kwa mtu huyu kufa, kwa maana ametabiri juu ya mji huu, kama mlivyosikia kwa masikio yenu!”
And the prestis and profetis spaken to the princes, and to al the puple, and seiden, Doom of deth is to this man, for he profesiede ayens this citee, as ye herden with youre eeris.
12 Kwa hiyo Yeremia akasema kwa wakuu wote na watu wote, “Yeremia amenituma kutabiri juu ya nyumb hii na mji wake, kusema maneno yote ambayo mmeyasikia.
And Jeremye seide to alle the princes, and to al the puple, `and seide, The Lord sente me, that Y schulde prophesie to this hous, and to this citee, alle the wordis whiche ye herden.
13 Kwa hiyo sasa, imarisheni njia zenu na matendo yenu, na sikilizeni sauti ya Yahwe Mungu wenu kwamba ataghairi kuhusu janga ambalo ametangaza dhidi yenu.
Now therfor make ye good youre weies, and youre studies, and here ye the vois of youre Lord God; and it schal repente the Lord of the yuel which he spak ayens you.
14 Mimi mwenyewe—niangalieni! —niko mikononi mwenu. Nitendeeni yaliyo mema na sahihi katika macho yenu.
Lo! forsothe Y am in youre hondis; do ye to me, as it is good and riytful bifore youre iyen.
15 Lakini kwa hakika lazima mjue kwamba kama mtaniua mimi, basi mnaiweka damu isiyo na hatia juu yenu wenyewe na juu ya mji huu na wakaaji wake, kwa maana Yahwe amenituma kweli kwenu ili nitangaze maneno yote kwa ajili ya masikio yenu.”
Netheles wite ye, and knowe, that if ye sleen me, ye schulen bitraie innocent blood ayens you silf, and ayens this citee, and the dwelleris therof; for in trewthe the Lord sente me to you, that Y schulde speke in youre eeris alle these wordis.
16 Kisha wakuu na watu wote wakasema kwa makuhani na manabii, “Si vyema kwa mtu huyu kufa, kwa maana ametangaza mambo haya kwetu katika jina la Yahwe Mungu wetu.”
And the princes and al the puple seiden to the preestis and profetis, Doom of deth is not to this man; for he spak to vs in the name of oure Lord God.
17 Kisha watu kutoka wazee wa nchi wakasimama na kusema kwa kusanyiko lote la watu.
Therfor men of the eldere men of the lond rysiden vp, and seiden to al the cumpanye of the puple,
18 Wakasema, “Mikaya Mmorashi alikuwa akitabiri katika siku za Hezekia mfalme wa Yuda. Alinena kwa watu wote wa Yuda na kusema, 'Yahwe wa majeshi anasema hivi: Sayuni utalimwa kama shamba, Yerusalemu utakuwa lundo la magofu, na mlima wa hekalu utakuwa kilima kilichoota vichaka.' Hezekia mfalme wa Yuda na Yunda wote walimuua?
and spaken, Mychee of Morasten was a profete in the daies of Ezechie, king of Juda; and he seide to al the puple of Juda, and seide, The Lord of oostis seith these thingis, Sion schal be erid as a feeld, and Jerusalem schal be in to an heep of stoonys, and the hil of the hous of the Lord schal be in to hiy thingis of woodis.
19 Hakumwogopa Yahwe na kuutaka radhi uso wa Yahwe ili kwamba Yahwe angeghairi kuhusu janga ambalo alilitangaza kwao? Kwa hiyo tutafanya maovu makubwa zaidi juu ya maisha yetu sisi wenyewe?”
Whether Ezechie, kyng of Juda, and al Juda condempnede hym bi deth? Whether thei dredden not the Lord, and bisouyten the face of the Lord? and it repentide the Lord of the yuel which he spak ayens hem. Therfor do we not greet yuel ayens oure soulis.
20 Wakati huo huo palikuwa na mtu mwingine ambaye alitabiri katika jina la Yahwe—Uria mwan wa Shemaya kutoka Kiriath Yearimu—pia alitabiri juu ya mji na nchi hii, akikubaliana na maneno yote ya Yeremia.
Also Vrye, the sone of Semey, of Cariathiarym, was a man profesiynge in the name of the Lord; and he profesiede ayens this citee, and ayens this lond, bi alle the wordis of Jeremye.
21 Lakini Mfalme Yohoyakimu na wanajeshi wake wote na watumishi wake wote waliposikia maneno yake, kisha mfalme alijaribu kumuua, lakini Uria alisikia na kuogopa, kwa hiyo alikimbia na akaenda Misiri
And kyng Joachym, and alle the myyti men, and princes of hem, herden these wordis; and the kyng souyte to sle hym; and Vrye herde, and dredde, and he fledde, and entride in to Egipt.
22 Kisha mfalme Yehoyakimu alituma watu kwenda Misiri—Elnathani mwana wa Achbori na watu kwenda Misiri kumfuata Uria.
And kyng Joachym sente men in to Egipt, Elnathan, the sone of Achobor, and men with hym, in to Egipt;
23 Wakamtoa Uria nje kutoka Misiri na kumleta kwa Mfalme Yehoyakimu. Kisha Yehoyakimu akamuua kwa upanga na kumpeleka nje kwenye makaburi ya watu wa kawaida.
and thei ledden Vrye out of Egipt, and brouyten hym to kyng Joachym; and the kyng killide hym bi swerd, and castide forth his careyn in the sepulcris of the comyn puple vnnoble.
24 Lakini mkno wa Ahikamu mwana wa Shapni alikuwa pamoja na Yeremia, hivyo hakutiwa mikonono mwa watu ili auawe.
Therfor the hond of Aicham, sone of Saphan, was with Jeremye, that he was not bitakun in to the hondis of the puple, and that it killide not hym.
