1 Kino ky’ekigambo ekyajjira Yeremiya ekyava eri Mukama nti,
2 “Serengeta mu nnyumba y’omubumbi nkuweere eyo obubaka bwange.”
3 Awo ne nserengeta eri ennyumba y’omubumbi ne mmulaba ng’akolera emirimu gye ku nnamuziga.
4 Naye ekintu kye yali abumba kyali kyonoonekedde mu ngalo ze, omubumbi kyeyava akibumbamu ekintu ekirala ng’akibumba nga bwe yasiima.
5 Awo ekigambo kya Mukama ne kinzijira nga kigamba nti,
6 “Gwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri, siyinza nze kubakola ng’omubumbi ono bw’akoze?” bw’ayogera Mukama. “Okufaanana ng’ebbumba mu mukono gw’omubumbi, bwe mutyo bwe muli mu ngalo zange, ggwe ennyumba ya Isirayiri.
7 Ekiseera kyonna bwe nnangirira nti eggwanga oba obwakabaka bwa kusiguukululwa, okumenyebwa era n’okuzikirizibwa,
8 era singa eggwanga lye nalabula lyenenya ebibi byalyo, olwo ndyejjusa ne sibatuusaako kabi ke nnali ŋŋambye okubakola.
9 Era ekiseera kyonna nnangirira ebikwata ku ggwanga oba obwakabaka nti ndizimba era ndisimba,
10 era bwe likola ebibi mu maaso gange, ne litaŋŋondera, ndyejjusa obulungi bwe nagamba okubakolera.
11 “Noolwekyo gamba abantu ba Yuda n’abo ababeera mu Yerusaalemi nti, ‘Kino Mukama ky’ayogera nti, Laba ntekateeka okubatuusaako ekikangabwa era nteesezza okubakola akabi. Kale muve mu makubo gammwe amabi, buli omu ku mmwe, mukyuse enneeyisa yammwe n’ebikolwa byammwe.’
12 Naye ne boogera nti, ‘Tekirina kye kigasa. Tujja kugenda mu maaso n’entegeka yaffe; buli omu ku ffe anaakolanga ng’obukakanyavu bw’omutima gwe bwe buli.’ ”
13 Noolwekyo bw’ati Mukama ng’agamba nti,
14 Omuzira oguli ku Lebanooni
15 Naye ate abantu bange banneerabidde,
16 Ensi yaabwe ya kusigala matongo,
17 Ndibasaasaanya mu maaso g’abalabe baabwe
18 Awo ne balyoka bagamba nti, “Mujje tubeeko kye tukola Yeremiya. Kubanga bakabona weebali banaatutegeezanga amateeka, n’amagezi tunaagafunanga ku bagezi, era n’ebyobunnabbi binaavanga mu bannabbi. Kaakano mujje tumulumbe tumuwakanye era tuleme okussaayo omwoyo ku bigambo bye.”
19 Ompulirize, Ayi Mukama,
20 Ebikolwa ebirungi binaasasulwanga na bikolwa ebibi?
21 Noolwekyo abaana baabwe baleke bafe enjala,
22 Leka okukaaba kuwulirwe nga kuva mu nnyumba zaabwe,
23 Naye Ayi Mukama, gw’omanyi byonna,
