Yeremia 33
1 Kisha neno la Yahwe likaja kwa Yeremia mara ya pili, alipokuwa bado amefungwa ndani ya uwanja wa walinzi, likisema,
And the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
2 Yahwe muumbaji, anasema hivi—Yahwe, aumbaye ili athibitishishe—Yahwe ndilo jina lake,
Thus saith Jehovah the doer of it, Jehovah that formeth it to establish it, Jehovah is his name:
3 'Niite, na nitakuitika, nitakuelezea mambo makuu, siri ambazo huzielewi.'
Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and I will shew thee great and hidden things, which thou knowest not.
4 Kwa maana Yahwe, Mungu wa Israel, anasema hivi kuhusu nyumba zilizo katika mji huu na nyumba za wafalme wa Yuda zilizobomolewa kwa sababu ya maboma na upanga,
For thus saith Jehovah the God of Israel concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, which are thrown down because of the mounds and because of the sword:
5 Wakaldayao wanakuja kupigana na kuzijaza nyumba kwa hizi kwa majeshi ya watu ambao wataua katika hasira yangu na ghadhabu yangu, nitakapouficha mji huu uso wangu kwa sababu ya uovu wao wote.
They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but to fill them with the dead bodies of the men whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city.
6 Lakini ona, niko karibu kuleta uponyaji na tiba, kwa maana nitawaponya na nitawapa wingi wa, amani na uamainifu.
Behold, I will apply a healing dressing to it and cure, and I will heal them, and will reveal unto them an abundance of peace and truth.
7 Kwa maana nitawarudhisha wafungwa wao wa Yuda na Israeli; nitawajenga tena kama ilivyokuw mwanzo.
And I will turn the captivity of Judah and the captivity of Israel, and will build them, as at the beginning.
8 Kisha nitawatakasa uovu wote walioufanya dhidi yangu. Nitasamehe makosa yote waliyonitenda, na na njia zote walizo asi dhidi yangu.
And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, whereby they have sinned against me, and I will pardon all their iniquities, whereby they have sinned against me, and whereby they have transgressed against me.
9 Kwa maana mji huu kwa ajili yangu utakuwa chombo cha furaha, nyimbo, sifa na heshima kwa mataiafa yote ya dunia ambao watasikia mambo yote mema ninayokwenda kufanya kwa ajili ya huu mji. Kisha wataogopa na kutetemeka kwa sababu ya mambo yote mema na amani nitayoupa mji huu.'
And it shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and a glory before all the nations of the earth, which shall hear of all the good that I do unto them; and they shall fear and tremble for all the good and for all the prosperity that I procure unto it.
10 Yahwe anasema hivi, 'Katika sehemu hii ambayo sasa mnaisema, “Imetengwa, sehemu isiyo na mwanadamu wala mnyama,” katika mji huu wa Yuda, na katika mitaa ya Yerusalemu ambayo imetengwa bila mwanadamu wala mnyama, zitasikika tena
Thus saith Jehovah: In this place of which ye say, It is waste, without man and without beast! in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate, without man, and without inhabitant, and without beast,
11 sauti za furaha na sauti za shangwe, sauti ya bwana arusi na sauti ya bibi arusi, sauti za wale wasemao, wanapoleta shukrani katika nyumba ya Yahwe, “Mshukuruni Yahwe wa majeshi, kwa maana Yahwe ni mwema, na upendo wake usioshindwa wadumu milele!” Kwa maana nitawafanaya tena wafungwa wa nchi kuwa walivyokuwa mwanzo,' asema Yahwe.
there shall again be heard the voice of mirth and the voice of joy, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of them that say, Give ye thanks unto Jehovah of hosts; for Jehovah is good, for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever, — of them that bring thanksgiving unto the house of Jehovah. For I will turn the captivity of the land as in the beginning, saith Jehovah.
12 Yahwe wa majeshi asema hivi: Katika sehemu hii ya ukiwa, ambamo sasa hakuna mwanadamu wala mnyama—katika miji yake yote kutakuwepo tena malisho ambapo wachungaji wataweza kupumzisha makundi yao.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: In this place which is waste, without man and without beast, and in all the cities thereof, there shall again be a habitation of shepherds causing [their] flocks to lie down.
13 Katika miji hii katika nchi ya vilima, nchi tambarare, na Negevu katika nchi ya Benyamini na kuzunguka Yerusalemu yote, na katika miji ya Yuda, makundi yatapata njia chini ya mkono wa yule anayewahesabu,' asema Yahwe.
In the cities of the hill-country, in the cities of the lowland, and in the cities of the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and in the environs of Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, shall the flocks pass again under the hands of him that counteth [them], saith Jehovah.
14 Angalia! Siku zinakuja—hili ni tangazo la Yahwe—ambapo nitafanya niliyoahidi kwa nyumba ya Israeli na nyumba ya Yuda.
Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will perform the good word which I have spoken unto the house of Israel and unto the house of Judah.
15 Katika siku hizo na katika wakati huo nitachipua shina la haki kwa ajili ya Daudi, na litafanaya hukumu na haki katika nchi.
In those days, and at that time, will I cause a Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.
16 Katika siku hizo Yuda wataokolewa, na Yurusalemu utaishi katika usalama, kwa maana hivi ndivyo atakavyoitwa, “Yahwe ni haki ni haki yetu.”
In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell in safety. And this is the name wherewith she shall be called: Jehovah our Righteousness.
17 Kwa maana Yahwe anasema hivi: 'Mwana kutoka ukoo wa Daudi hatakosa kuketi katika kiti cha nyumba ya Israeli,
For thus saith Jehovah: There shall never fail to David a man to sit upon the throne of the house of Israel;
18 wala mtu kutoka ukuhani wa Kilawi hatakosa kutoa sadaka za kuteketezwa mbele zangu, kutoa sadaka za chakula, na kutoa sadaka za nafaka wakati wote.”'
neither shall there fail to the priests the Levites a man before me to offer up burnt-offerings, and to burn oblations, and to do sacrifice continually.
19 Neno la Yahwe likaja kwa Yeremia, likisema,
And the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah, saying,
20 “Yahwe anasema hivi: 'Kama mkiweza kulivunja agano langu la mchana na usiku ili kwamba siku isikawie wala usiku usikawie kuja kwa wakati wake,
Thus saith Jehovah: If ye can break my covenant [in respect] of the day, and my covenant [in respect] of the night, so that there should not be day and night in their season,
21 basi mtaweza u kulivunja agano langu na Daudi mtumishi wangu, ili kwamba aspate mwana wa kuketi juu ya kiti chake cha enzi, na gano langu na makuhuni wa Kilawi, watumishsi wangu.
[then] shall also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites, the priests, my ministers.
22 Kama vile majeshsi ya mbinguni yasivyoweza kuhesabika, na kama vile mchanga wa ufukwe wa bahari usivyoweza kupimwa, ndivyo nitakavyouongeza uzao wa Daudi mtumishi wangu na Walawi watumikao mbele zangu.”
As the host of the heavens cannot be numbered, nor the sand of the sea measured, so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.
23 Neno la Mungu likaja kwa Yeremia, likisema,
And the word of Jehovah came to Jeremiah, saying,
24 Hamkuzingatia walichotangaza watu hawa waliposema, 'Zile Familia mbili ambazo Yahwe alizichagua, sasa amezikataa'? Kwa jinsi hii hii waliwapuuza watu wangu, wakisema kwamba si taifa tena katika macho yao.
Hast thou not seen what this people have spoken, saying, The two families that Jehovah had chosen, he hath even cast them off? And they despise my people, that they should be no more a nation before them.
25 Mimi, Yahwe, nasema hivi, 'Kama sijalithibitisha agano la mchana na usiku, na kama sijaziweka sheria za mbingu na dunia,
Thus saith Jehovah: If my covenant of day and night [stand] not, if I have not appointed the ordinances of the heavens and the earth,
26 basi nitawakataa uzao wa Yakobo na Daudi mtumishi wangu, na nisilete mtu kutoka kati yao wa kutawala juu ya uzao wa Abrahamu, Isaka, na Yakobo. Kwa maana nitawarudisha wafubgwa wao na kuonesha huruma kwao.”'
[then] will I also cast away the seed of Jacob, and of David my servant, so as not to take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will turn their captivity, and will have mercy on them.
