Noolwekyo nnaaleeta ensonga yange gy’oli.
Lwaki abakozi b’ebibi baba mu kwesiima?

Bategekere olunaku lwe balisanjagirwako.

Kubanga abo abali mu nsi bakozi ba bibi,

kubanga abantu bagamba nti,
“Katonda taalabe binaatutuukako.”

oyinza otya okudduka n’embalaasi?
Obanga mu nsi entereevu weesitadde n’ogwa bugwi,

Tobeesiga
wadde nga bakwogerako bulungi.”

9 (I)Abantu bange be nalonda

Mugende mukuŋŋaanye ensolo zonna ez’omu nsiko
muzireete zirye.
10 (J)Abasumba bangi
boonoonye ennimiro yange ey’emizabbibu,
balinnyiridde ennimiro yange,
ensi yange ennungi bagirese njereere.
11 (K)Eyonooneddwa efuuse ddungu
esigadde awo ng’enkaabirira.
Ensi yonna efuuse matongo
kubanga tewali muntu n’omu agifaako.
12 (L)Abanyazi bazze
batuuse ku nsozi zonna ez’omu ddungu,
kubanga ekitala kya Mukama kijja kulya
okuva ku nsonda emu ey’ensi okutuuka ku ndala,
awataliiwo n’omu kuwona.
13 (M)Basize eŋŋaano, ne bakungula amaggwa.
Bakooyedde bwereere ne bataba na kebaggyamu.
Bakwatiddwa ensonyi olw’ebibala bye bakunguddeyo,
kubanga ebyo Mukama y’abikoze olw’obusungu bwe obungi.”
14 (N)Bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, “Ebikwata ku baliraanwa bange ababi nga bifa ku mugabo gwe nawa abantu bange Isirayiri okuba ogwabwe, laba ndibasiguukulula okuva mu nsi yaabwe, era ndiggya ennyumba ya Yuda mu bo. 15 (O)Naye nga mmaze okubasiguukululamu, ndibakwatirwa ekisa ne mbakomyawo buli omu eri omugabo gwe mu nsi ye. 16 (P)Era nga bwe bayigiriza abantu bange okulayirira mu linnya lya Baali bwe batyo balikwatira ddala empisa z’abantu bange, okulayirira mu linnya lyange nga boogera nti, ‘Nga Mukama bw’ali omulamu,’ olwo balizimbibwa wakati mu bantu bange. 17 (Q)Naye eggwanga bwe litalissaayo mwoyo, ndirisiguukulula ne ndisaanyizaawo ddala,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
Jeremiah 12
New International Version
Jeremiah’s Complaint
12 You are always righteous,(A) Lord,
when I bring a case(B) before you.
Yet I would speak with you about your justice:(C)
Why does the way of the wicked prosper?(D)
Why do all the faithless live at ease?
2 You have planted(E) them, and they have taken root;
they grow and bear fruit.(F)
You are always on their lips
but far from their hearts.(G)
3 Yet you know me, Lord;
you see me and test(H) my thoughts about you.
Drag them off like sheep(I) to be butchered!
Set them apart for the day of slaughter!(J)
4 How long will the land lie parched(K)
and the grass in every field be withered?(L)
Because those who live in it are wicked,
the animals and birds have perished.(M)
Moreover, the people are saying,
“He will not see what happens to us.”
God’s Answer
5 “If you have raced with men on foot
and they have worn you out,
how can you compete with horses?
If you stumble[a] in safe country,
how will you manage in the thickets(N) by[b] the Jordan?
6 Your relatives, members of your own family—
even they have betrayed you;
they have raised a loud cry against you.(O)
Do not trust them,
though they speak well of you.(P)
7 “I will forsake(Q) my house,
abandon(R) my inheritance;
I will give the one I love(S)
into the hands of her enemies.(T)
8 My inheritance has become to me
like a lion(U) in the forest.
She roars at me;
therefore I hate her.(V)
9 Has not my inheritance become to me
like a speckled bird of prey
that other birds of prey surround and attack?
Go and gather all the wild beasts;
bring them to devour.(W)
10 Many shepherds(X) will ruin my vineyard
and trample down my field;
they will turn my pleasant field
into a desolate wasteland.(Y)
11 It will be made a wasteland,(Z)
parched and desolate before me;(AA)
the whole land will be laid waste
because there is no one who cares.
12 Over all the barren heights in the desert
destroyers will swarm,
for the sword(AB) of the Lord(AC) will devour(AD)
from one end of the land to the other;(AE)
no one will be safe.(AF)
13 They will sow wheat but reap thorns;
they will wear themselves out but gain nothing.(AG)
They will bear the shame of their harvest
because of the Lord’s fierce anger.”(AH)
14 This is what the Lord says: “As for all my wicked neighbors who seize the inheritance(AI) I gave my people Israel, I will uproot(AJ) them from their lands and I will uproot(AK) the people of Judah from among them. 15 But after I uproot them, I will again have compassion(AL) and will bring(AM) each of them back to their own inheritance and their own country. 16 And if they learn(AN) well the ways of my people and swear by my name, saying, ‘As surely as the Lord lives’(AO)—even as they once taught my people to swear by Baal(AP)—then they will be established among my people.(AQ) 17 But if any nation does not listen, I will completely uproot and destroy(AR) it,” declares the Lord.
