Muli mu ngalo dhange ng’eitosi bweriba mu ngalo edh’omuwumbi. 7Bwe nkoba nti nja kwiwululagho, mmenhegho era nzikirize eighanga oba obwakyabazinga, 8aye eighanga eryo ni likyuka okuva mu bibi byalyo, olwo mba tiikole ekyo kye mbaire nsazeegho okukola. 9Ate bwe nkoba nti nja kutaagho era nzimbegho eighanga oba obwakyabazinga, 10aye eighanga eryo ni lindheemera era ni likola ebibi, olwo mba tiikole ekyo kye mbaire nsazeegho okukola. 11Kale ni kobera abantu b’omu Buyudaaya n’ab’omu Yerusalemu, oti ndi kukola entegeka okubakolaku akabi, era neetegeike okubabonereza. Bakobe buli muntu alekere okukola ebibi, era akyuse empisa dhe n’ebikolwa bye ebibi.
12“Aye baidha kwiramu bati, ‘Busa, lwaki tukyusa? Ife twidha kusigala nga tukola ebyo emyoyo gyaife emikalangufu era emibi bye gyenda.’ ”
Abantu bava ku Musengwa
13Musengwa Katonda akoba ati:
“Mubuuze amaghanga goonagoona
oba nga ekintu ng’oti n’ekyo kyali kibaireghooku.
Abaisiraeli bakoze ekintu ekitiisa einho!
14Empampagama dh’omu mabaale amagulumivu ag’oku nsozi edh’e Lebanoni
dhaali dhibeereireku agho nga tidhigwireeku mugozi?
Amaadhi amainhogovu agava mu nsozi edho
ghalighooku lwe gaalekeraku okukuuluula?
15Aye abantu bange baaneeyawulaku,
baaniokeza obubbaani ebisinzibwa ebitali Katonda.
Baajanga bwe beekontola mu nguudo dhe baatambulirangamu okuva eira,
baalekerera enguudo enene;
baatambulira mu bugira obw’omu nsiko.
16Ensi yaibwe baagifuula ekintu ekitiisa einho,
abantu kye baneesimoozanga buliidho.
Buli muntu anaagibitangaku
aidha kutengeesanga bwa mutwe olw’okutya okungi.
17Ndidha kusansaaniza abantu bange y’abazigu baibwe,
ng’oti n’empewo eva mu buvandhuba bw’efuuwa enkungu.
Akabi bwekalibaidhira, nja kubakuba bwa nkoone,
tija kubayamba naire.”
Olukwe olw’okwita Yeremia
18Agho abantu beeteesa bati: “Mwidhe tubeeku ni kye tukola Yeremia ono. Ni bwetunaamutoolagho, tituja kubula bakabona ba kutugalagiranga, era tituja kubula bagezi ba kwebuuzangaku, waire okubulwa abalanzi abatukobera obukwenda bwa Katonda. Ka tumuteeku emisango, era tulekere okuwulirisanga by’akoba.”
19Agho nze naasaba nti:
“Wo Musengwa Katonda, wulira bye nkoba.
Wulira abazigu bange bye bandhogeraku.
20Omuntu akoze ekirungi, bwenebwene agwanira kusasulwamu kibi?
Oidhukira nga bwenaidhanga y’oli ni mbawolerezaagho
olobe kubamaliraku busungu.
Aye ate buti basimye ebiina nga benda ngwemu nfe!
21Wo Musengwa Katonda, kale ni leka abaana baibwe balambuke
endhala bafe,
obaleke bafiire mu ntalo.
Abakazi baibwe ka babuleku abaana era babe banamwandu.
Abasaadha ka bafe endwaire ya kawumpuli,
abaisuka baitibwe mu ntalo.
22Basindikire eikuukuubira ery’abanhazi libazinduukirize libagweku,
olwo bawowoole mu ndhu dhaibwe;
kuba basimye ebiina mbigwemu,
bantega n’emitego gingemye.
23Aye iwe Musengwa Katonda oidhi enkwe dhaibwe dhoonadhoona
edh’okwenda okundhita.
Otabasonigha kwonoona kwaibwe,
waire okusasaagho ebibi byaibwe n’obyerabira.
Batandigire ekigwo ghansi obaghangule,
obakoleku n’obusungu bwo.”
