Jeremiah 20:9 · Biblica® Open Kiswahili Contemporary Version 2015

Lakini kama nikisema, “Sitamtaja wala kusema tena kwa jina lake,” neno lake linawaka ndani ya moyo wangu kama moto, moto uliofungwa ndani ya mifupa yangu. Nimechoka sana kwa kulizuia ndani mwangu; kweli, siwezi kujizuia.

Jeremiah 20:9 in English

Jeremiah 20:9 · Berean Standard Bible

If I say, “I will not mention Him or speak any more in His name,” His message becomes a fire burning in my heart, shut up in my bones, and I become weary of holding it in, and I cannot prevail.

Context

7Ee Bwana, umenidanganya, nami nikadanganyika; wewe una nguvu kuniliko, nawe umenishinda. Ninadharauliwa mchana kutwa, kila mmoja ananidhihaki. 8Kila ninenapo, ninapiga kelele nikitangaza ukatili na uharibifu. Kwa hiyo neno la Bwana limeniletea matukano na mashutumu mchana kutwa. 9Lakini kama nikisema, “Sitamtaja wala kusema tena kwa jina lake,” neno lake linawaka ndani ya moyo wangu kama moto, moto uliofungwa ndani ya mifupa yangu. Nimechoka sana kwa kulizuia ndani mwangu; kweli, siwezi kujizuia. 10Ninasikia minongʼono mingi, “Hofu iko pande zote! Mshtakini! Twendeni tumshtaki!” Rafiki zangu wote wananisubiri niteleze, wakisema, “Labda atadanganyika; kisha tutamshinda na kulipiza kisasi juu yake.” 11Lakini Bwana yu pamoja nami kama shujaa mwenye nguvu; hivyo washtaki wangu watajikwaa na kamwe hawatashinda. Watashindwa, nao wataaibika kabisa; kukosa adabu kwao hakutasahauliwa.
