Jeremiah Taken to Egypt
1 And it came to pass, that when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking unto all the people all the words of the LORD their God, for which the LORD their God had sent him to them, even all these words,
Ikawa Yeremia alipokwisha kuwaambia watu wote maneno yote ya Bwana, Mungu wao, ambayo Bwana, Mungu wao, amemtuma kwao, yaani, maneno hayo yote,
2 then spake Azariah the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying unto Jeremiah, Thou speakest falsely: the LORD our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there:
ndipo Azaria, mwana wa Hoshaya, na Yohana mwana wa Karea, na watu wote wenye kiburi wakanena, wakimwambia Yeremia, Unasema uongo; Bwana, Mungu wetu, hakukutuma useme, Msiende Misri kukaa huko;
3 but Baruch the son of Neriah setteth thee on against us, for to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, that they might put us to death, and carry us away captives into Babylon.
bali Baruku, mwana wa Neria, akushawishi kinyume chetu, ili kututia katika mikono ya Wakaldayo, ili watuue, na kutuchukua mateka mpaka Babeli.
4 So Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the LORD, to dwell in the land of Judah.
Basi Yohana, mwana wa Karea, na wakuu wote wa majeshi, na watu wote hawakuitii sauti ya Bwana, kwamba wakae katika nchi ya Yuda.
5 But Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that were returned from all nations, whither they had been driven, to dwell in the land of Judah;
Lakini Yohana, mwana wa Karea, na wakuu wote wa majeshi, wakawatwaa wote waliosalia wa Yuda, waliokuwa wamerudi kutoka taifa zote walikofukuzwa, wakae katika Yuda;
6 even men, and women, and children, and the king's daughters, and every person that Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch the son of Neriah.
wanaume, na wanawake, na watoto, na binti za mfalme, na kila mtu ambaye Nebuzaradani, amiri wa askari walinzi, amemwacha pamoja na Gedalia, mwana wa Ahikamu, mwana wa Shafani, pia na Yeremia, nabii, na Baruku, mwana wa Neria;
7 So they came into the land of Egypt: for they obeyed not the voice of the LORD: thus came they even to Tahpanhes.
wakaingia nchi ya Misri; maana hawakuitii sauti ya Bwana; wakafika hata Tahpanesi.
8 Then came the word of the LORD unto Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
Ndipo neno la Bwana likamjia Yeremia huko Tahpenesi, kusema,
9 Take great stones in thine hand, and hide them in the clay in the brickkiln, which is at the entry of Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah;
Twaa mawe makubwa mikononi mwako, ukayafiche ndani ya chokaa ya kazi ya matofali, penye maingilio ya nyumba ya Farao huko Tahpanesi, machoni pa watu wa Yuda;
10 and say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.
ukawaambie, Bwana wa majeshi, Mungu wa Israeli, asema hivi, Tazama, nitatuma na kumtwaa Nebukadreza, mfalme wa Babeli, mtumishi wangu, nami nitaweka kiti chake cha enzi juu ya mawe haya niliyoyaficha; naye atatandaza hema yake ya fahari juu yake.
11 And when he cometh, he shall smite the land of Egypt, and deliver such as are for death to death; and such as are for captivity to captivity; and such as are for the sword to the sword.
Naye atakuja, na kuipiga nchi ya Misri; watu walioandikiwa kufa watakufa, nao walioandikiwa kuwa mateka watakuwa mateka, nao walioandikiwa kupigwa kwa upanga watapigwa kwa upanga.
12 And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captives: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment; and he shall go forth from thence in peace.
Nami nitawasha moto katika nyumba za miungu ya Misri, na kuziteketeza, na kuwachukua mateka; naye atajipamba kwa nchi ya Misri, kama vile mchungaji avaavyo nguo zake; naye atatoka huko na amani.
13 He shall break also the images of Beth-shemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire.
Naye atazivunja nguzo za Bethshemeshi, iliyoko huko katika nchi ya Misri, na nyumba za miungu ya Misri ataziteketeza.
