Ettabi Ettukuvu
23 (A)“Zibasanze abasumba abazikiriza era abasaasaanya endiga z’ekisibo kyange!” bw’ayogera Mukama. 2 (B)Noolwekyo, bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama, Katonda wa Isirayiri ebikwata ku basumba abalabirira abantu bange nti, “Kubanga musaasaanyizza abantu bange ne mubagoba ne mutabalabirira, nzija kubaleetako ebibonerezo olw’ebibi bye mukoze,” bw’ayogera Mukama. 3 (C)“Nze kennyini nzija kukuŋŋaanya abaasigalawo ku kisibo kyange okuva mu mawanga gonna gye nabagobera, mbakomyewo mu kisibo kyabwe, gye banaabalira ebibala beeyongere obungi. 4 (D)Ndibawa abasumba abanaabalabirira, era tebaliddayo kutya oba kuggwaamu maanyi, era tewaabe n’omu abula,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
5 (E)“Ennaku zijja,
lwe ndiyimusiza Dawudi Ettabi ettukuvu,
Kabaka alikulembera n’amagezi
akole ebituufu eby’obwenkanya mu nsi,” bwayogera Mukama.
6 (F)Mu mirembe gye, Yuda alirokolebwa
ne Isirayiri alibeera mu mirembe.
Lino lye linnya lye balimuyita:
Mukama OBUTUUKIRIVU BWAFFE.
7 (G)“Noolwekyo ennaku zijja, abantu lwe batalyogera nate nti, ‘Ddala nga Mukama bwali omulamu eyaggya Abayisirayiri mu Misiri,’ bwayogera Mukama, 8 (H)naye bagambe nti, ‘Ddala nga Mukama bw’ali omulamu, eyaggya abaana ba Isirayiri mu nsi ey’omu bukiikakkono era ne mu nsi zonna gye yali abagobedde.’ Olwo balibeera mu nsi yaabwe ku bwabwe,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
Bannabbi Abalimba
9 (I)Ebikwata ku bannabbi:
omutima gwange gwennyise mu nda yange
amagumba gange gonna gakankana,
nninga omusajja omutamiivu,
ng’omusajja afugiddwa omwenge,
ku lwa Mukama
n’ebigambo bye ebitukuvu.
10 (J)Ensi ejjudde abenzi;
olw’ekikolimo ensi esigadde nkalu
era n’amalundiro g’omu ddungu meereere.
Bannabbi bagoberera amakubo amabi
era bakozesa obuyinza bwabwe mu butali bwenkanya.
11 (K)“Nnabbi ne kabona bombi tebalina Katonda,
ne mu yeekaalu yange mbasanze nga bakoleramu ebibi,”
bw’ayogera Mukama.
12 (L)“Noolwekyo amakubo gaabwe gajja kuseerera
era bajja kusuulibwa mu kizikiza
era eyo gye baligwira.
Ndibaleetako okuzikirira
mu mwaka gwe balibonerezebwamu,”
bw’ayogera Mukama.
13 (M)“Mu bannabbi b’e Samaliya
nalaba ekintu kino ekyenyinyalwa.
Balagulira wansi wa Baali
ne babuza abantu bange Isirayiri.
14 (N)Era ne mu bannabbi ba Yerusaalemi
ndabye ekintu ekibi ennyo.
Bakola eby’obwenzi ne batambulira mu bulimba.
Bagumya abo abakozi b’ebibi
ne wataba n’omu ava mu kwonoona kwe.
Bonna bali nga Sodomu gye ndi;
abantu ba Yerusaalemi bali nga Ggomola.”
15 (O)Noolwekyo, bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’Eggye ebikwata ku bannabbi nti,
“Nzija kubaliisa emmere ekaawa
banywe amazzi ag’obutwa,
kubanga okuva mu bannabbi ba Yerusaalemi,
obutatya Katonda bubunye mu nsi yonna.”
16 (P)Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama Katonda ow’eggye nti,
“Temuwuliriza bannabbi bye babategeeza:
babajjuza essuubi ekyamu.
Boogera ebirooto ebiva mu mitima gyabwe,
so si ebiva mu kamwa ka Mukama Katonda.
17 (Q)Bagamba abo abannyooma nti,
‘Mukama Katonda agamba onoobeera n’emirembe.’
Abo abagoberera obukakanyavu bw’emitima gyabwe
babagamba nti, ‘Tewali kabi kanaakujjira.’
18 Naye ani ku bo
eyali abadde mu lukiiko lwa Mukama Katonda okulaba
oba okuwulira ekigambo kye?
19 (R)Laba, omuyaga gwa Mukama
gujja kubwatuka n’ekiruyi,
empewo ey’akazimu
eyetooloolera ku mitwe gy’abakozi b’ebibi.
20 (S)Obusungu bwa Mukama tebujja kukoma
okutuusa ng’amaze okutuukiriza
ekigendererwa ky’omutima gwe.
Mu nnaku ezijja, mujja kukitegeera bulungi. 21 (T)Situmanga bannabbi bano,
songa bagenda
badduka n’obubaka buno,
era sogeranga nabo,
songa bategeeza obunnabbi.
22 (U)Naye singa bayimirira mu maaso gange,
bandibuulidde abantu bange ebigambo byange,
era bandibaggye mu makubo gaabwe amabi
era ne mu bikolwa byabwe ebibi.
23 (V)“Ndi Katonda abeera okumpi wokka,
so si abeera ewala?”
bw’ayogera Mukama.
24 (W)“Omuntu ayinza okwekweka mu bifo eby’ekyama
ne sisobola kumulaba?”
bw’ayogera Mukama.
“Sijjuza eggulu n’ensi?”
bw’ayogera Mukama.
25 (X)“Mpulidde bannabbi aboogera eby’obulimba mu linnya lyange. Bagamba nti, ‘Naloose! Naloose!’ 26 (Y)Kino kinaakoma ddi mu mitima gy’abo bannabbi b’obulimba, abategeeza eby’obulimba ebiva ku mitima gyabwe? 27 (Z)Balowooza nti ebirooto bye balootolola bannaabwe bijja kuleetera abantu bange okwerabira erinnya lyange, nga bakitaabwe bwe beerabira erinnya lyange nga basinza Baali. 28 Nnabbi alina ekirooto ayogere ekirooto kye, n’oyo alina ekigambo kyange akyogere mu bwesigwa. Kubanga ebisusunku birina nkolagana ki n’eŋŋaano?” bw’ayogera Mukama. 29 (AA)“Ekigambo kyange tekiri nga muliro, ng’ennyondo eyasaayasa olwazi?” bw’ayogera Mukama.
30 (AB)“Noolwekyo, ndi mulabe wa bannabbi ababbiŋŋanako ebigambo ebiva gye ndi,” bw’ayogera Mukama. 31 (AC)“Weewaawo,” bw’ayogera Mukama, “saagalira ddala bannabbi abayogerayogera nga bagamba nti, ‘Bw’atyo Mukama bw’agamba.’ 32 (AD)Ddala ddala ndi mulabe w’abo abawa obunnabbi bw’ebirooto ebikyamu. Babyogera ne babuza abantu bange n’obulimba bwabwe obutaliimu, ate nga saabatuma wadde okubateekawo. Tebalina kye bayamba bantu bano n’akatono,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
Obubaka Obukyamu ne Bannabbi Aboobulimba
33 (AE)“Abantu bano, oba nnabbi oba kabona bw’abuuza nti, ‘Bubaka ki Mukama bw’atutumye?’ Bagambe nti, ‘Bubaka ki? Nzija kubabuulira, bw’ayogera Mukama.’ 34 (AF)Nnabbi, oba kabona oba omuntu yenna bw’agamba nti, ‘Buno bwe bubaka bwa Mukama,’ Nzija kubonereza omusajja oyo n’ab’omu maka ge. 35 (AG)Kino buli omu ky’anagamba mikwano gye oba ab’eŋŋanda ze. ‘Mukama, azeemu ki? Oba kiki Mukama ky’ayogedde?’ 36 (AH)Naye temuddayo kugamba nti, ‘Buno bwe bubaka bwa Mukama,’ kubanga buli kigambo kya muntu kifuuka bubaka bwe era mukyusa ebigambo bya Katonda omulamu, Mukama ow’Eggye, Katonda waffe. 37 Kino kye munaabuuza nnabbi nti, ‘Kiki Mukama kyakuzzeemu?’ Oba nti, ‘Mukama, agambye ki?’ 38 Naye era mujja kugamba nti, ‘Buno bwe bubaka Mukama bwatutumye,’ wadde nga nabagamba nti, Temusaanye kwogera nti, ‘Buno bwe bubaka bwa Mukama,’ 39 (AI)kyenaava mbagobera ddala mu maaso gange ne mu kibuga ekyo kye nabawa, mmwe ne bakitammwe. 40 (AJ)Ndibaleetako ekivume ekitaliggwaawo, n’ensonyi ez’olubeerera ebitagenda kwerabirwa.”
Jeremiah 23
New International Version
Jeremiah 23
New International Version
The Righteous Branch
23 “Woe to the shepherds(A) who are destroying and scattering(B) the sheep of my pasture!”(C) declares the Lord. 2 Therefore this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says to the shepherds(D) who tend my people: “Because you have scattered my flock(E) and driven them away and have not bestowed care on them, I will bestow punishment on you for the evil(F) you have done,” declares the Lord. 3 “I myself will gather the remnant(G) of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them and will bring them back to their pasture,(H) where they will be fruitful and increase in number. 4 I will place shepherds(I) over them who will tend them, and they will no longer be afraid(J) or terrified, nor will any be missing,(K)” declares the Lord.
5 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord,
“when I will raise up for David[a] a righteous Branch,(L)
a King(M) who will reign(N) wisely
and do what is just and right(O) in the land.
6 In his days Judah will be saved
and Israel will live in safety.(P)
This is the name(Q) by which he will be called:
The Lord Our Righteous Savior.(R)
7 “So then, the days are coming,”(S) declares the Lord, “when people will no longer say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,’(T) 8 but they will say, ‘As surely as the Lord lives, who brought the descendants of Israel up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.’ Then they will live in their own land.”(U)
Lying Prophets
9 Concerning the prophets:
My heart(V) is broken within me;
all my bones tremble.(W)
I am like a drunken man,
like a strong man overcome by wine,
because of the Lord
and his holy words.(X)
10 The land is full of adulterers;(Y)
because of the curse[b](Z) the land lies parched
and the pastures(AA) in the wilderness are withered.(AB)
The prophets follow an evil course
and use their power unjustly.
11 “Both prophet and priest are godless;(AC)
even in my temple(AD) I find their wickedness,”
declares the Lord.
12 “Therefore their path will become slippery;(AE)
they will be banished to darkness
and there they will fall.
I will bring disaster on them
in the year they are punished,(AF)”
declares the Lord.
13 “Among the prophets of Samaria
I saw this repulsive thing:
They prophesied by Baal(AG)
and led my people Israel astray.(AH)
14 And among the prophets of Jerusalem
I have seen something horrible:(AI)
They commit adultery and live a lie.(AJ)
They strengthen the hands of evildoers,(AK)
so that not one of them turns from their wickedness.(AL)
They are all like Sodom(AM) to me;
the people of Jerusalem are like Gomorrah.”(AN)
15 Therefore this is what the Lord Almighty says concerning the prophets:
“I will make them eat bitter food
and drink poisoned water,(AO)
because from the prophets of Jerusalem
ungodliness(AP) has spread throughout the land.”
16 This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Do not listen(AQ) to what the prophets are prophesying to you;
they fill you with false hopes.
They speak visions(AR) from their own minds,
not from the mouth(AS) of the Lord.
17 They keep saying(AT) to those who despise me,
‘The Lord says: You will have peace.’(AU)
And to all who follow the stubbornness(AV) of their hearts
they say, ‘No harm(AW) will come to you.’
18 But which of them has stood in the council(AX) of the Lord
to see or to hear his word?
Who has listened and heard his word?
19 See, the storm(AY) of the Lord
will burst out in wrath,
a whirlwind(AZ) swirling down
on the heads of the wicked.
20 The anger(BA) of the Lord will not turn back(BB)
until he fully accomplishes
the purposes of his heart.
In days to come
you will understand it clearly.
21 I did not send(BC) these prophets,
yet they have run with their message;
I did not speak to them,
yet they have prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in my council,(BD)
they would have proclaimed(BE) my words to my people
and would have turned(BF) them from their evil ways
and from their evil deeds.(BG)
23 “Am I only a God nearby,(BH)”
declares the Lord,
“and not a God far away?
24 Who can hide(BI) in secret places
so that I cannot see them?”
declares the Lord.
“Do not I fill heaven and earth?”(BJ)
declares the Lord.
25 “I have heard what the prophets say who prophesy lies(BK) in my name. They say, ‘I had a dream!(BL) I had a dream!’ 26 How long will this continue in the hearts of these lying prophets, who prophesy the delusions(BM) of their own minds?(BN) 27 They think the dreams they tell one another will make my people forget(BO) my name, just as their ancestors forgot(BP) my name through Baal worship.(BQ) 28 Let the prophet who has a dream(BR) recount the dream, but let the one who has my word(BS) speak it faithfully. For what has straw to do with grain?” declares the Lord. 29 “Is not my word like fire,”(BT) declares the Lord, “and like a hammer(BU) that breaks a rock in pieces?
30 “Therefore,” declares the Lord, “I am against(BV) the prophets(BW) who steal from one another words supposedly from me. 31 Yes,” declares the Lord, “I am against the prophets who wag their own tongues and yet declare, ‘The Lord declares.’(BX) 32 Indeed, I am against those who prophesy false dreams,(BY)” declares the Lord. “They tell them and lead my people astray(BZ) with their reckless lies,(CA) yet I did not send(CB) or appoint them. They do not benefit(CC) these people in the least,” declares the Lord.
False Prophecy
33 “When these people, or a prophet or a priest, ask you, ‘What is the message(CD) from the Lord?’ say to them, ‘What message? I will forsake(CE) you, declares the Lord.’ 34 If a prophet or a priest or anyone else claims, ‘This is a message(CF) from the Lord,’ I will punish(CG) them and their household. 35 This is what each of you keeps saying to your friends and other Israelites: ‘What is the Lord’s answer?’(CH) or ‘What has the Lord spoken?’ 36 But you must not mention ‘a message from the Lord’ again, because each one’s word becomes their own message. So you distort(CI) the words of the living God,(CJ) the Lord Almighty, our God. 37 This is what you keep saying to a prophet: ‘What is the Lord’s answer to you?’ or ‘What has the Lord spoken?’ 38 Although you claim, ‘This is a message from the Lord,’ this is what the Lord says: You used the words, ‘This is a message from the Lord,’ even though I told you that you must not claim, ‘This is a message from the Lord.’ 39 Therefore, I will surely forget you and cast(CK) you out of my presence along with the city I gave to you and your ancestors. 40 I will bring on you everlasting disgrace(CL)—everlasting shame that will not be forgotten.”
