Yeremia 6:20
Jeremiah 6:20 · Biblica® Open Kiswahili Contemporary Version 2015
Unanifaa nini uvumba kutoka Sheba, au udi wa harufu nzuri kutoka nchi ya mbali? Sadaka zako za kuteketezwa hazikubaliki, dhabihu zako hazinifurahishi mimi.”
Jeremiah 6:20 in English
Jeremiah 6:20 · Berean Standard Bible
What use to Me is frankincense from Sheba or sweet cane from a distant land? Your burnt offerings are not acceptable; your sacrifices do not please Me.”
Context
18Kwa hiyo sikilizeni, enyi mataifa,
angalieni, enyi mashahidi,
lile litakalowatokea. 19Sikia, ee nchi:
Ninaleta maafa juu ya watu hawa,
matunda ya mipango yao,
kwa sababu hawakusikiliza maneno yangu
na wameikataa sheria yangu. 20Unanifaa nini uvumba kutoka Sheba,
au udi wa harufu nzuri kutoka nchi ya mbali?
Sadaka zako za kuteketezwa hazikubaliki,
dhabihu zako hazinifurahishi mimi.” 21Kwa hiyo hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana:
“Nitaweka vikwazo mbele ya watu hawa.
Baba na wana wao watajikwaa juu yake,
majirani na marafiki wataangamia.” 22Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana:
“Tazama, jeshi linakuja
kutoka nchi ya kaskazini,
taifa kubwa linaamshwa
kutoka miisho ya dunia.
