Yeremia 33
1 Kisha neno la Yahwe likaja kwa Yeremia mara ya pili, alipokuwa bado amefungwa ndani ya uwanja wa walinzi, likisema,
And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah a second time — and he [is] yet detained in the court of the prison — saying:
2 Yahwe muumbaji, anasema hivi—Yahwe, aumbaye ili athibitishishe—Yahwe ndilo jina lake,
Thus said Jehovah its maker, Jehovah its former, at establishing it, Jehovah [is] His name:
3 'Niite, na nitakuitika, nitakuelezea mambo makuu, siri ambazo huzielewi.'
Call unto Me, and I do answer thee, yea, I declare to thee great and fenced things — thou hast not known them.
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 said Jehovah, God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city, and concerning the houses of the kings of Judah, that are broken down for the mounts, and for the tool;
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 are coming in to fight with the Chaldeans, and to fill them with the carcases of men, whom I have smitten in Mine anger, and in My fury, and [for] whom I have hidden My face from this city, because of all their evil:
6 Lakini ona, niko karibu kuleta uponyaji na tiba, kwa maana nitawaponya na nitawapa wingi wa, amani na uamainifu.
Lo, I am increasing to it health and cure, And have healed them, and revealed to them The abundance of peace and truth.
7 Kwa maana nitawarudhisha wafungwa wao wa Yuda na Israeli; nitawajenga tena kama ilivyokuw mwanzo.
And I have turned back the captivity of Judah, And the captivity of Israel, And I have built them as at the first,
8 Kisha nitawatakasa uovu wote walioufanya dhidi yangu. Nitasamehe makosa yote waliyonitenda, na na njia zote walizo asi dhidi yangu.
And cleansed them from all their iniquity, That they have sinned against Me, And I have pardoned all their iniquities, That they have sinned against Me, And that they 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 hath been to Me for a name of joy, For praise, and for beauty, to all nations of the earth, Who hear of all the good that I am doing them, And they have feared, And they have trembled for all the good, And for all the peace, that I am doing to 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 said Jehovah: Again heard in this place of which ye are saying, Waste it [is], without man and without beast, In cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem, That are desolated, 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.
Is a voice of joy and a voice of gladness, Voice of bridegroom, and voice of bride, The voice of those saying, Thank Jehovah of Hosts, for Jehovah [is] good, For His kindness [is] to the age, Who are bringing in thanksgiving to the house of Jehovah, For I turn back the captivity of the land, As at the first, said 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 said Jehovah of Hosts: Again there is in this place — that is waste, Without man and beast, And in all its cities — a habitation of shepherds, Causing the flock 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 low country, And in the cities of the south, And in the land of Benjamin, And in the suburbs of Jerusalem, And in the cities of Judah, Again doth the flock pass by under the hands of the numberer, said Jehovah.
14 Angalia! Siku zinakuja—hili ni tangazo la Yahwe—ambapo nitafanya niliyoahidi kwa nyumba ya Israeli na nyumba ya Yuda.
Lo, days are coming, an affirmation of Jehovah, And I have established the good word That I spake unto the house of Israel, And concerning 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, I cause to shoot up to David a shoot of righteousness, And he hath done judgment and righteousness in the earth.
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 is Judah saved, And Jerusalem doth dwell confidently, And this [is] he whom Jehovah proclaimeth to her: 'Our Righteousness.'
17 Kwa maana Yahwe anasema hivi: 'Mwana kutoka ukoo wa Daudi hatakosa kuketi katika kiti cha nyumba ya Israeli,
For thus said Jehovah: 'Not cut off to David is one sitting on 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.”'
And to the priests — the Levites, Not cut off from before Me is one, Causing a burnt-offering to ascend, And perfuming a present, and making sacrifice — all the days.'
19 Neno la Yahwe likaja kwa Yeremia, likisema,
And there is a word of Jehovah unto 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 said Jehovah: If ye do break My covenant of the day, And My covenant of the night, So that they are not daily and nightly 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.
Also My covenant is broken with David My servant, So that he hath not a son reigning on 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 is not numbered, Nor the sand of the sea measured, So I multiply the seed of David My servant, And the Levites My ministers.'
23 Neno la Mungu likaja kwa Yeremia, likisema,
And there is a word of Jehovah unto 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 considered what this people have spoken, saying: The two families on which Jehovah fixed, He doth reject them, And my people they despise — So that they are no more a people before them!
25 Mimi, Yahwe, nasema hivi, 'Kama sijalithibitisha agano la mchana na usiku, na kama sijaziweka sheria za mbingu na dunia,
Thus said Jehovah: If My covenant [is] not daily and nightly, The statutes of heaven and earth I have not appointed —
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.”'
Also the seed of Jacob, and David My servant, I reject, Against taking from his seed rulers For the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, For I turn back [to] their captivity, and have pitied them.'
