Yeremia 8:9
Jeremiah 8:9 · Biblica® Open Kiswahili Contemporary Version 2015
Wenye hekima wataaibika, watafadhaika na kunaswa. Kwa kuwa wamelikataa neno la Bwana, hiyo hekima waliyo nayo ni ya namna gani?
Jeremiah 8:9 in English
Jeremiah 8:9 · Berean Standard Bible
The wise will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and trapped. Since they have rejected the word of the LORD, what wisdom do they really have?
Context
7Hata korongo aliyeko angani
anayajua majira yake yaliyoamriwa,
nao njiwa, mbayuwayu na koikoi
hufuata majira yao ya kurudi.
Lakini watu wangu hawajui
Bwana anachotaka kwao. 8“ ‘Mwawezaje kusema, “Sisi tuna busara
kwa sababu tunayo sheria ya Bwana,”
wakati ambapo kwa hakika kalamu ya uongo ya waandishi
imeandika kwa udanganyifu? 9Wenye hekima wataaibika,
watafadhaika na kunaswa.
Kwa kuwa wamelikataa neno la Bwana,
hiyo hekima waliyo nayo ni ya namna gani? 10Kwa hiyo nitawapa watu wengine wake zao,
na mashamba yao kwa wamiliki wengine.
Kuanzia aliye mdogo kabisa hadi aliye mkubwa kabisa,
wote wana tamaa ya kupata zaidi;
manabii na makuhani wanafanana,
wote wanafanya udanganyifu. 11Wanafunga majeraha ya watu wangu
bila uangalifu.
Wanasema, “Amani, amani,”
wakati hakuna amani.
