< Jeremiah 32 >

1 The worde that came vnto Ieremiah from the Lord, in the tenth yere of Zedekiah king of Iudah, which was the eightenth yeere of Nebuchad-nezzar.
Kino kye kigambo kya Mukama ekyajjira Yeremiya mu mwaka ogw’ekkumi ogw’obufuzi bwa Zeddekiya kabaka wa Yuda, ogwali omwaka ogw’ekkumi n’omunaana ogw’obufuzi bwa Nebukadduneeza.
2 For then the King of Babels hoste besieged Ierusalem: And Ieremiah the Prophet was shutte vp in the court of the prison, which was in the King of Iudahs house.
Amaggye ga kabaka w’e Babulooni gaali gazingizza Yerusaalemi, era ne Yeremiya nnabbi baali bamusibidde mu luggya lw’omukuumi mu lubiri lwa kabaka wa Yuda.
3 For Zedekiah King of Iudah had shut him vp, saying, Wherefore doest thou prophesie, and say, Thus saith the Lord, Beholde, I will giue this citie into the handes of the King of Babel, and he shall take it?
Zeddekiya kabaka wa Yuda yali amusibidde eyo ng’agamba nti, “Lwaki otegeeza obunnabbi mu ngeri eyo? Ogamba nti, ‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama. Nnaatera okuwaayo ekibuga kino eri kabaka w’e Babulooni, era agenda kukiwamba.
4 And Zedekiah the King of Iudah shall not escape out of the hande of the Caldeans, but shall surely be deliuered into the handes of the King of Babel, and shall speake with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall beholde his face,
Zeddekiya kabaka wa Yuda tajja kuwona mikono gy’Abakaludaaya naye ddala wa kuweebwayo eri kabaka w’e Babulooni era ajja kwogera naye, balabagane amaaso n’amaaso.
5 And he shall lead Zedekiah to Babel, and there shall he be, vntil I visit him, saith ye Lord: though ye fight with the Caldeans, ye shall not prosper.
Alitwala Zeddekiya mu Babulooni, gy’alisigala okutuusa lwe ndimujjira. Bwe munaalwanyisa Abakaludaaya, temujja kuwangula,’ bw’ayogera Mukama.”
6 And Ieremiah said, The word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Yeremiya n’agamba nti, “Ekigambo kya Mukama kyanzijira:
7 Beholde, Hanameel, the sonne of Shallum thine vncle, shall come vnto thee and say, Bye vnto thee my fielde, that is in Anathoth: for the title by kindred appertaineth vnto thee to bye it.
Laba Kanameri mutabani wa Sallumu kojjaawo agenda kujja gy’oli akugambe nti, ‘Gula ennimiro yange eri mu Anasosi kubanga ng’owooluganda asinga okuba okumpi guba mukisa gwo era buvunaanyizibwa bwo okugigula.’
8 So Hanameel, mine vncles sonne, came to mee in the court of the prison, according to the word of the Lord, and said vnto me, Bye my field, I pray thee, that is in Anathoth, which is in the countrey of Beniamin: for the right of the possession is thine, and the purchase belongeth vnto thee: bye it for thee. Then I knewe that this was the worde of the Lord.
“Awo nga Mukama bwe yali agambye, omwana wa kojja wange Kanameri yajja mu luggya lw’omukuumi gye nnali n’aŋŋamba nti, ‘Gula ennimiro yange eri mu Anasosi mu kitundu kya Benyamini, kubanga okirinako obuyinza n’obuvunaanyizibwa okukinunulayo n’okyefunira, kyegulire.’ “Olwo ne mmanya nti kino kye kigambo kya Mukama.
9 And I bought the field of Hanameel, mine vncles sonne, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the siluer, euen seuen shekels, and tenne pieces of siluer.
Ne ndyoka ngula ennimiro ey’e Anasosi ku Kanameri omwana wa kojjange, ne mubalira ensimbi, ebitundu kkumi na musanvu ebya ffeeza.
10 And I writ it in the booke and signed it, and tooke witnesses, and weighed him the siluer in the balances.
Ne nteeka omukono ku kiwandiiko ky’endagaano okugulirwa ettaka ne nkissaako n’akabonero, ne nfuna abajulirwa, ne mpima ffeeza ku minzaani.
11 So I tooke the booke of the possession, being sealed according to the Lawe, and custome, with the booke that was open,
Ne ntwala ekiwandiiko ekimpa obwannannyini ekirimu enkola era n’ebisuubirwa okugobererwa, era ne kkopi ey’olwatu.
12 And I gaue the booke of the possession vnto Baruch the sonne of Neriah, the sonne of Maaseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine vncles sonne, and in the presence of the witnesses, written in the booke of the possession, before al the Iewes that sate in the court of the prison.
Ne mpa Baluki mutabani wa Neriya mutabani wa Maseya ekiwandiiko ky’obwannannyini, Kanameri omwana wa kojjange nga waali n’abajulirwa nga weebali abaateeka emikono ku kiwandiiko eky’obwannannyini n’Abayudaaya bonna abaali batudde mu luggya lw’omukuumi.
13 And I charged Baruch before them, saying,
“Ne nkuutirira Baluki mu maaso gaabwe nti,
14 Thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Take the writings, euen this booke of the possession, both that is sealed, and this booke that is open, and put them in an earthen vessell, that they may continue a long time.
‘Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, Twala ebiwandiiko bino byombi, ekisibeko envumbo n’ekitali kisibeko obiteeke mu nsumbi ey’ebbumba bisobole okulwawo ebbanga gwanvu.
15 For the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel saith thus, Houses and fieldes, and vineyardes shall be possessed againe in this land.
Kubanga bw’atyo bw’ayogera Mukama ow’Eggye Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, Ennyumba, n’ebibanja n’ennimiro ez’emizabbibu biriddamu okugulibwa mu nsi eno.’
16 Now when I had deliuered the booke of the possession vnto Baruch, the sonne of Neriah, I prayed vnto the Lord, saying,
“Nga mmaze okuwaayo ekiwandiiko kino eri Baluki mutabani wa Neriya, nasaba Mukama nti,
17 Ah Lord God, beholde, thou hast made the heauen and the earth by thy great power, and by thy stretched out arme, and there is nothing hard vnto thee.
“Ayi Mukama Katonda, ggwe wakola eggulu n’ensi n’amaanyi go amangi ennyo, n’omukono gwo ogugoloddwa. Tewali kintu na kimu kikulema.
18 Thou shewest mercie vnto thousands, and recompensest the iniquitie of the fathers into the bosome of their children after them: O God the great and mightie, whose Name is ye Lord of hostes,
Olaga okwagala kwo eri enkumi n’enkumi ate oleeta ekibonerezo ky’ebibi bya bakitaabwe ku baana baabwe. Ayi Katonda ow’ekitalo era ow’amaanyi, ayitibwa Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye,
19 Great in counsell, and mightie in worke, (for thine eyes are open vpon all the wayes of ye sonnes of men, to giue to euery one according to his wayes, and according to the fruite of his workes)
ebigendererwa byo nga binene era n’ebikolwa byo nga bikulu. Amaaso go gatunuulidde amakubo gonna ag’abantu, osasula buli muntu ng’enneeyisa ye bweri era ng’ebikolwa bye bwe biri.
20 Which hast set signes and wonders in the land of Egypt vnto this day, and in Israel, and among all men, and hast made thee a Name, as appeareth this day,
Wakola obubonero n’ebikolwa ebyamagero mu Misiri era weeyongedde okubikola leero, wonna mu Isirayiri ne mu bantu bonna era erinnya lyo lyeyongedde okwatiikirira.
21 And hast brought thy people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signes, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, with a stretched out arme, and with great terrour,
Waggya abantu bo Isirayiri mu Misiri n’obubonero n’eby’amagero, n’omukono gwo ogw’amaanyi gwe wagolola n’entiisa ey’amaanyi.
22 And hast giuen them this land, which thou diddest sweare to their fathers to giue them, euen a land, that floweth with milke and hony,
Wabawa ensi eno gye wali olayidde okuwa bajjajjaabwe, ensi ekulukuta amata n’omubisi gw’enjuki.
23 And they came in, and possessed it, but they obeyed not thy voyce, neither walked in thy Law: all that thou commaundedst them to doe, they haue not done: therefore thou hast caused this whole plague to come vpon them.
Baagituukamu ne bagitwala, naye tebaakugondera wadde okugoberera amateeka go, byonna bye wabalagira tebaliiko wadde na kimu kye baakola. Kyewava obaleetako akabi kano konna.
24 Beholde, the mounts, they are come into the citie to take it, and the citie is giuen into the hande of the Caldeans, that fight against it by meanes of the sword, and of the famine, and of the pestilence, and what thou hast spoken, is come to passe, and beholde, thou seest it.
“Laba entuumo z’omulabe z’atuumye okuzinda ekibuga okukiwamba n’ekitala, n’enjala ne kawumpuli, ekibuga kigenda kuweebwayo eri Abakaludaaya abakirumba. Ekyo kye wagamba kituukiridde nga kaakano bw’olaba.
25 And thou hast sayd vnto me, O Lord God, Bye vnto thee the fielde for siluer, and take witnesses: for the citie shall be giuen into the hand of the Caldeans.
Era wadde ng’ekibuga kigenda kuweebwayo eri Abakaludaaya, ggwe Ayi Mukama Katonda oŋŋambye nti, ‘Toola ffeeza weegulire ennimiro era wabeerewo n’abajulirwa.’”
26 Then came the worde of the Lord vnto Ieremiah, saying,
Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kijjira Yeremiya nti,
27 Beholde, I am the LORD GOD of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me?
“Nze Mukama, Katonda w’abantu bonna. Eriyo ekinnema?
28 Therefore thus saith the Lord, Beholde, I wil giue this citie into the hand of the Caldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchad-nezzar, King of Babel, and he shall take it.
Noolwekyo, bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Nnaatera okuwaayo ekibuga kino eri Abakaludaaya ne Nebukadduneeza kabaka w’e Babulooni, abanaakiwamba.
29 And the Caldeans shall come and fight against this citie, and set fire on this citie and burne it, with the houses, vpon whose rouses they haue offred incense vnto Baal, and powred drinke offrings vnto other gods, to prouoke me vnto anger.
Abakaludaaya abanaalumba ekibuga kino bajja kukikumako omuliro, bakyokye kiggye, n’amayumba gonna abantu mwe bankwasiza obusungu nga bootereza Baali obubaane waggulu ku mayumba era n’okuwaayo ebiweebwayo eby’okunywa eri bakatonda abalala.’
30 For the children of Israel, and the children of Iudah haue surely done euill before me from their youth: for the children of Israel haue surely prouoked me to anger with the workes of their hands, saith the Lord.
“Abantu ba Isirayiri ne Yuda bye bakoze bibi byereere mu maaso gange okuva mu buvubuka bwabwe; era ddala abantu ba Isirayiri tebalina kirala kye bakoze wabula okunnyiiza n’ebyo emikono gyabwe gye gikoze, bw’ayogera Mukama.
31 Therefore this citie hath bene vnto me as a prouocation of mine anger, and of my wrath, from the day, that they built it, euen vnto this day, that I should remoue it out of my sight,
Okuva ku lunaku lwe kyazimbibwa ne leero, ekibuga kino kindeetedde obusungu bungi n’ekiruyi, noolwekyo nteekwa okukiggya mu maaso gange.
32 Because of all the euill of the children of Israel, and of the children of Iudah, which they haue done to prouoke mee to anger, euen they, their Kings, their Princes, their Priests, and their Prophets, and the men of Iudah, and the inhabitants of Ierusalem.
Abantu ba Isirayiri ne Yuda bannyiizizza olw’ebibi byonna bye bakoze, bo ne bakabaka baabwe n’abakungu baabwe, ne bakabona baabwe ne bannabbi, abasajja ba Yuda n’abantu ba Yerusaalemi.
33 And they haue turned vnto me the backe and not the face: though I taught them rising vp earely, and instructing them, yet they were not obedient to receiue doctrine,
Banvaako ne bankuba amabega mu kifo ky’okuntunuulira; wadde nga nabayigiriza ne nkiddiŋŋana emirundi mingi naye tebaawuliriza wadde okufaayo eri okukangavvulwa.
34 But they set their abominations in ye house (whereupon my Name was called) to defile it,
Baateekawo ebifaananyi bya bakatonda baabwe abakole n’emikono, eby’omuzizo mu nnyumba eyitibwa Erinnya lyange ne bagyonoona.
35 And they built the hie places of Baal, which are in the valley of Ben-hinnom, to cause their sonnes and their daughters to passe through the fire vnto Molech, which I commanded them not, neither came it into my minde, that they should doe such abomination, to cause Iudah to sinne.
Baazimba ebifo ebigulumivu ebya Baali mu kiwonvu kya mutabani wa Kinomu, basaddaake batabani baabwe ne bawala baabwe mu muliro eri Moleki, newaakubadde nga sibalagiranga, wadde okukirowooza mu magezi gange, nti balikola ekintu ekibi ennyo bwe kityo kiviireko Yuda okwonoona.
36 And nowe therefore, thus hath the Lord God of Israel spoken, concerning this citie, whereof ye say, It shalbe deliuered into the hand of the King of Babel by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence,
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri nti, ‘Ekibuga kino okyogerako nti, Kijja kuweebwayo eri kabaka w’e Babulooni lwa kitala, n’enjala, ne kawumpuli.’
37 Beholde, I will gather them out of all countreys, wherein I haue scattered them in mine anger, and in my wrath, and in great indignation, and I wil bring them againe vnto this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely.
Naye laba, ndibakuŋŋaanya mu mawanga gye mbagobedde n’obusungu bwange n’ekiruyi eky’amaanyi; ndibakomyawo mu kifo kino, mubeere n’emirembe.
38 And they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
Era balibeera bantu bange, nange mbeere Katonda waabwe.
39 And I wil giue them one heart and one way that they may feare me for euer for ye wealth of them, and of their children after them.
Ndibawa omutima gumu n’ekkubo limu, bantyenga emirembe gyonna, olw’obulungi bwabwe, n’obulungi bw’abaana abaliddawo.
40 And I wil make an euerlasting couenant with them, that I wil neuer turne away from them to doe them good, but I wil put my feare in their hearts, that they shall not depart from me.
Ndikola nabo endagaano eteriggwaawo: siribaleka era sirirekeraawo kubakolera birungi, era ndibassaamu omwoyo oguntya, baleme kuddayo kunvaako.
41 Yea, I wil delite in them to do them good, and I wil plant them in this land assuredly with my whole heart, and with all my soule.
Ndisanyuka olw’okubakolera ebirungi era awatali kubuusabuusa ndibasimba mu nsi eno n’omutima gwange gwonna n’emmeeme yange yonna.
42 For thus sayth the Lord, Like as I haue brought all this great plague vpon this people, so wil I bring vpon them all the good that I haue promised them.
“Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, Nga bwe naleeta akabi kano konna ku bantu bano, era nze ndibawa okukulaakulana kwonna kwe mbasuubizza.
43 And the fields shalbe possessed in this land, whereof ye say, It is desolate without man or beast, and shalbe giuen into the hand of the Caldeans.
Era nate ennimiro zirigulwa mu ggwanga lino lye mugamba nti, ‘Lifuuse matongo agatagambika, omutali bantu wadde ensolo kubanga kiweereddwayo eri Abakaludaaya.’
44 Men shall buy fields for siluer, and make writings and seale them, and take witnesses in the land of Beniamin, and round about Ierusalem, and in the cities of Iudah, and in the cities of the mountaines, and in the cities of the plaine, and in the cities of the South: for I wil cause their captiuitie to returne, saith the Lord.
Ennimiro zirigulibwa ffeeza, era n’ebiwandiiko eby’obwannannyini biteekebweko omukono, bisabikibwe era bifune n’ababijulira mu Benyamini, ne mu byalo ebyetoolodde Yerusaalemi, ne mu bibuga bya Yuda ne mu bibuga ebyetoolodde Yerusaalemi, ne mu byalo bya Yuda ne mu bibuga eby’omu nsi ey’ensozi, ne mu bibuga eby’omu nsenyi ne mu bibuga eby’omu bukiikaddyo, kubanga ndikomyawo okukulaakulana kwabwe, bw’ayogera Mukama.”
