Yeremia 10:5
Jeremiah 10:5 · Biblica® Open Kiswahili Contemporary Version 2015
Sanamu zao ni kama sanamu iliyowekwa shambani la matango kutishia ndege nazo haziwezi kuongea; sharti zibebwe sababu haziwezi kutembea. Usiziogope; haziwezi kudhuru, wala kutenda lolote jema.”
Jeremiah 10:5 in English
Jeremiah 10:5 · Berean Standard Bible
Like scarecrows in a cucumber patch, their idols cannot speak. They must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them, for they can do no harm, and neither can they do any good.”
Context
3Kwa maana desturi za mataifa hazina maana,
wanakata mti msituni,
na fundi anauchonga kwa patasi. 4Wanaparemba kwa fedha na dhahabu,
wanakikaza kwa nyundo na misumari ili kisitikisike. 5Sanamu zao ni kama sanamu
iliyowekwa shambani la matango kutishia ndege
nazo haziwezi kuongea;
sharti zibebwe
sababu haziwezi kutembea.
Usiziogope; haziwezi kudhuru,
wala kutenda lolote jema.” 6Hakuna aliye kama wewe, Ee Bwana;
wewe ni mkuu,
jina lako ni lenye nguvu katika uweza. 7Ni nani ambaye haimpasi kukuheshimu wewe,
Ee Mfalme wa mataifa?
Hii ni stahili yako.
Miongoni mwa watu wote wenye hekima
katika mataifa na katika falme zao zote,
hakuna aliye kama wewe.
