Deuteronomo 32
1 Mverani, inu mayiko a mmwamba ndipo ine ndidzayankhula; imva, iwe dziko lapansi, mawu a pakamwa panga.
“Give ear, O heavens, and I speak; And you hear, O earth, sayings of my mouth!
2 Chiphunzitso changa chigwe ngati mvula ndipo mawu anga atsike ngati mame, ngati mvumbi pa udzu watsopano, ngati mvula yochuluka pa zomera zanthete.
My doctrine drops as rain; My sayings flow as dew; As storms on the tender grass, And as showers on the herb,
3 Ndidzalalikira dzina la Yehova. Aa, tamandani ukulu wa Mulungu wathu!
For I proclaim the Name of YHWH; Ascribe greatness to our God!
4 Iye ndi Thanthwe, ntchito zake ndi zangwiro, njira zake zonse ndi zolungama. Mulungu wokhulupirika amene salakwitsa, Iye ndiye wolungama ndi wosalakwa.
The Rock—His work [is] perfect, For all His ways [are] just; God of steadfastness, and without iniquity; Righteous and upright [is] He.
5 Koma iwo achita mosakhulupirika pamaso pake, iwo si ana akenso, koma iwo ndi mʼbado wachinyengo ndi wokhotakhota.
It has done corruptly to Him; Their blemish is not of His sons, A generation perverse and crooked!
6 Kodi mukumubwezera Yehova chotere, inu anthu opusa ndi opanda nzeru? Kodi Iye si Atate anu, Mlengi wanu, amene anakupangani ndi kukuwumbani?
Do you act thus to YHWH, O people foolish and not wise? Is He not your Father—He who bought you? He made you, and establishes you.
7 Kumbukirani masiku amakedzana; ganizirani za mibado yakalekale. Funsa abambo ako ndipo adzakuwuza, akuluakulu ako, ndipo adzakufotokozera.
Remember days of old—Understand the years of many generations—Ask your father, and he tells you; Your elderly, and they say to you:
8 Pamene Wammwambamwamba anapereka mayiko kwa anthu a mitundu ina kukhala cholowa chawo, pamene analekanitsa anthu onse, anayikira malire anthu onse molingana ndi chiwerengero cha ana a Israeli.
In the Most High causing nations to inherit, In His separating sons of Adam—He sets up the borders of the peoples By the number of the sons of God [[or sons of Israel]].
9 Pakuti gawo la Yehova ndi anthu ake, Yakobo ndiye cholowa chake.
For YHWH’s portion [is] His people, Jacob [is] the line of His inheritance.
10 Anamupeza mʼchipululu, ku malo owuma ndi kopanda kanthu. Anamuteteza ndi kumusamalira; anamutchinjiriza ngati mwanadiso wake,
He finds him in a land—a desert, And in a void—a howling wilderness, He turns him around—He causes him to understand—He keeps him as the apple of His eye.
11 ngati chiwombankhanga chimene chimasasula chisa chake nʼkumazungulira pamwamba pa ana ake, chimene chimatambalalitsa mapiko ake kuti chigwire anawo ndi kuwanyamula pa mapiko ake otambalalawo.
As an eagle wakes up its nest, Flutters over its young ones, Spreads its wings [and] takes them, Carries them on its pinions—
12 Yehova yekha ndiye anamutsogolera; popanda thandizo la mulungu wachilendo.
YHWH alone leads him, And there is no strange god with him.
13 Anamuyendetsa pamwamba pa mapiri a mʼdziko ndi kumudyetsa zipatso za mʼminda. Anamudyetsa uchi wofula pa thanthwe, ndiponso mafuta ochokera mʼnthaka ya miyala,
He makes him ride on high places of earth, And he eats increase of the fields, And He makes him suck honey from a rock, And oil out of the flint of a rock;
14 pamodzi ndi chambiko ndi mkaka wochokera ku ngʼombe ndi nkhosa, ndiponso ana ankhosa onenepa ndi mbuzi, pamodzinso ndi nkhosa zazimuna zabwino za ku Basani ndiponso tirigu wabwino kwambiri. Munamwa vinyo wa thovu lofiira.
Butter of the herd, and milk of the flock, With fat of lambs, and rams of sons of Bashan, And male goats, with fat of kidneys of wheat; And of the blood of the grape you drink wine!
15 Yesuruni ananenepa ndi kuyamba kuwukira; atakhuta, ananenepa ndi kukula thupi. Anasiya Mulungu amene anamulenga ndipo anakana Thanthwe ndi Mpulumutsi wake.
And Yeshurun waxes fat, and kicks: You have been fat, you have been thick, You have been covered. And he leaves God who made him, And dishonors the Rock of his salvation.
16 Anamuchititsa nsanje ndi milungu yawo yachilendo ndiponso anamukwiyitsa ndi mafano awo onyansa.
They make Him zealous with strangers, They make Him angry with abominations.
17 Anapereka nsembe kwa ziwanda zimene si Mulungu, milungu imene sankayidziwa nʼkale lomwe, milungu yongobwera kumene, milungu imene makolo anu sankayiopa.
They sacrifice to the demons, not God, To gods they have not known, New ones—they came from the vicinity; Your fathers have not feared them!
18 Inu munasiya Thanthwe limene linakulerani; munayiwala Mulungu amene anakubalani.
You forget the Rock that begot you, And neglect God who forms you.
19 Yehova anaona zimenezi ndipo anawakana chifukwa ana ake aamuna ndi aakazi anamukwiyitsa.
And YHWH sees and despises—For the provocation of His sons and His daughters.
20 Iye anati, “Ndidzawabisira nkhope yanga, ndi kuona kuti mathero awo adzakhala otani; pakuti ndi mʼbado wopotoka, ana amene ndi osakhulupirika.
And He says: I hide My face from them, I see what their latter end [is]; For they [are] a contrary generation, Sons in whom is no steadfastness.
21 Anandichititsa kukhala wansanje pamene ankapembedza chimene si mulungu ndi kundikwiyitsa chifukwa cha mafano awo achabechabe. Ine ndidzawachititsa kuti achite nsanje ndi mtundu wina wopandapake; ndidzawakwiyitsa ndi mtundu wina wachabechabe.
They have made Me jealous by [what is] not God, They made Me angry by their vanities; And I make them jealous by [what is] not a people, I make them angry by a foolish nation.
22 Pakuti mkwiyo wanga wayaka ngati moto, umene umayaka mpaka ku dziko la anthu akufa. Motowo udzanyeketsa dziko lapansi ndi zokolola zake ndipo udzapsereza maziko a mapiri. (Sheol h7585)
For a fire has been kindled in My anger, And it burns to the lowest [part] of Sheol, And consumes earth and its increase, And sets on fire [the] foundations of mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 “Ndidzawawunjikira masautso ndipo mivi yanga yonse idzathera pa iwo.
I heap calamities on them, I consume My arrows on them.
24 Ndidzawatumizira njala yoopsa, malungo woopsa ndi nthenda zofa nazo; ndidzawatumizira zirombo zakuthengo zowavuta, ululu wa njoka ya mʼphiri imene imakwawa pa fumbi.
Exhausted by famine, And consumed by heat and bitter destruction—I also send the teeth of beasts on them, With poison of fearful things of the dust.
25 Mʼmisewu lupanga lidzawasandutsa kukhala wopanda ana; mantha adzalamulira nyumba zawo. Anyamata ndi atsikana adzafa, ngakhalenso makanda ndi okalamba.
The sword destroys from outside, And out of the inner-chambers—terror, Both youth and virgin, Suckling with man of grey hair.
26 Ine ndinanena kuti ndidzawamwaza ndi kuwafafaniza kuti anthu asawakumbukirenso,
I have said: I blow them away, I cause their remembrance to cease from man;
27 koma sindinafune kuti adani anga adzandinyoze, mwina adani anga sadzandimvetsetsa ndipo adzanena kuti, ‘Tagonjetsa anthuwa ndife; Yehova sanachite zonsezi.’”
If I do not fear the anger of an enemy, Lest their adversaries know—Lest they say, Our hand is high, And YHWH has not worked all this.
28 Iwo ndi mtundu wopanda maganizo, iwo alibe nzeru nʼpangʼono pomwe.
For they [are] a nation lost to counsels, And there is no understanding in them.
29 Ngati iwo akanakhala anzeru akanamvetsetsa izi ndi kuzindikira kuti mathero awo adzakhala otani!
If only they were wise, They would deal wisely [with] this, They would attend to their latter end!
30 Kodi munthu mmodzi akanathamangitsa bwanji anthu 1,000 kapena anthu awiri kuthamangitsa anthu 10,000, kuti awagonjetse, Thanthwe lawo likanapanda kuwagulitsa, Yehova akanapanda kuwataya?
How does one pursue a thousand, And two cause a myriad to flee, If not that their Rock has sold them, And YHWH has shut them up?
31 Pakuti thanthwe lawo silofanana ndi Thanthwe lathu, ngakhale adani athu amavomereza zimenezi.
For their rock [is] not as our Rock (And our enemies [are] judges!)
32 Mpesa wawo umachokera ku mpesa wa ku Sodomu ndiponso ku minda ya ku Gomora. Mphesa zawo zili ndi ululu wakupha ndipo maphava ake ndi owawa.
For their vine [is] of the vine of Sodom, And of the fields of Gomorrah; Their grapes [are] grapes of gall—They have bitter clusters;
33 Vinyo wawo ndi wa ululu wa njoka, ululu woopsa wa mphiri.
The poison of dragons [is] their wine And the fierce venom of cobras.
34 “Kodi zimenezi sindinazisunge ndi kuzitsekera mʼkatikati mwa chuma changa?
Is it not laid up with Me? Sealed among My treasures?
35 Kubwezera chilango nʼkwanga; ndidzawalanga ndine. Pa nthawi yake phazi lawo lidzaterera; tsiku lawo la masautso layandikira ndipo chiwonongeko chawo chikubwera pa iwo mofulumira.”
Vengeance and retribution [are] Mine, At the due time—their foot slides; For near is a day of their calamity, And things prepared for them have hastened.
36 Yehova adzaweruza anthu ake ndipo adzachitira atumiki ake chifundo pamene adzaona kuti mphamvu zawo zatha ndipo kuti palibe amene watsala, kapolo kapena mfulu.
For YHWH judges His people, And gives comfort over His servants. For He sees the going away of power, And none is restrained and left.
37 Iye adzanena kuti, “Nanga ili kuti milungu yawo, thanthwe limene ankabisalamo,
And He has said, Where [are] their gods—The rock in which they trusted?
38 milungu imene inkadya mafuta a nsembe zawo ndi kumwa vinyo wa chopereka chawo cha chakumwa?” Iwuzeni ibwere kuti idzakuthandizeni! Ibwere kuti idzakutetezenitu!
Who eat the fat of their sacrifices, [And] drink the wine of their drink-offering? Let them arise and help you, Let it be a hiding place for you!
39 “Onani tsopano kuti Ine ndine Iyeyo! Palibe mulungu wina koma Ine ndekha. Ine ndimapha ndiponso kupereka moyo, ndavulaza ndipo ndidzachiritsa, ndipo palibe angathe kupulumutsa munthu mʼmanja mwanga.
See, now, that I [am] He, And there is no god besides Me; I put to death and I keep alive; I have struck and I heal; And there is not a deliverer from My hand,
40 Ndikweza dzanja langa kumwamba ndi kulumbira kuti, ‘Pali Ine wamoyo wamuyaya,
For I lift up My hand to the heavens, And have said, I live for all time!
41 pamene ndidzanola lupanga langa lonyezimira ndipo dzanja liligwira pakubweretsa chiweruzo, ndidzabwezera chilango adani anga ndi kulanga onse odana nane.
If I have sharpened the brightness of My sword, And My hand lays hold on judgment, I return vengeance to My adversaries, And to those hating Me—I repay!
42 Mivi yanga idzakhuta magazi awo pamene lupanga langa lidzawononga mnofu: magazi a anthu ophedwa ndi ogwidwa ukapolo, mitu ya atsogoleri a adani.’”
I make My arrows drunk with blood, And My sword devours flesh, From the blood of the pierced and captive, From the head of the leaders of the enemy.
43 Kondwerani, inu mitundu yonse ya anthu pamodzi ndi anthu ake, pakuti Iye adzabwezera chilango anthu amene anapha atumiki ake; adzabwezera chilango adani ake ndipo adzakhululukira dziko lake ndi la anthu ake.
Sing, O nations, [with] His people, For He avenges the blood of His servants, And He turns back vengeance on His adversaries, And has pardoned His land [and] His people.”
44 Mose anabwera ndi Yoswa mwana wa Nuni ndipo anayankhula mawu onsewa mʼnyimbo anthu akumva.
And Moses comes and speaks all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Hoshea son of Nun;
45 Mose atatsiriza kunena mawu onsewa pamtima kwa Aisraeli,
and Moses finishes to speak all these words to all Israel,
46 iye anawawuza kuti, “Muwasunge bwino mu mtima mwanu, mawu onse amene lero lino ndikukuwuzani kuti mudzawuze ana anu, kuti adzamvere mosamalitsa mawu onse a malamulo amenewa.
and says to them, “Set your heart to all the words which I am testifying against you today, that you command your sons to observe to do all the words of this law,
47 Mawuwa sikuti ndi mawu achabe kwa inu. Mawuwa ndi moyo wanu. Mukawamvera mudzakhala ndi moyo wautali mʼdziko limene mukukalitenga kukhala lanu mukawoloka Yorodani.”
for it [is] not a vain thing for you, for it [is] your life, and by this thing you prolong days on the ground to where you are passing over the Jordan to possess it.”
48 Tsiku lomwelo Yehova anawuza Mose kuti,
And YHWH speaks to Moses on this very same day, saying,
49 “Pita ku mapiri a ku Abarimu ukakwere pa Phiri la Nebo ku Mowabu, moyangʼanana ndi Yeriko, ndipo ukaone dziko la Kanaani, dziko limene ndikulipereka kwa Aisraeli kukhala lawo.
“Go up to this Mount Abarim, Mount Nebo, which [is] in the land of Moab, which [is] on the front of Jericho, and see the land of Canaan which I am giving to the sons of Israel for a possession;
50 Iwe udzafera pa phiri limenelo ndipo udzapita kumene makolo ako anapita, monga mʼbale wako Aaroni anafera pa phiri la Hori ndipo anakakhala ndi anthu a mtundu wake.
and die on the mountain to where you are going up, and be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron has died on Mount Hor and is gathered to his people;
51 Chifukwa chake nʼchakuti inu nonse awiri simunakhulupirike kwa Ine pamaso pa Aisraeli pa madzi a Meriba ku Kadesi mʼchipululu cha Zini chifukwa simunandilemekeze kokwanira pakati pa Aisraeli.
because you trespassed against Me in the midst of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribath-Kadesh, the wilderness of Zin, because you did not sanctify Me in the midst of the sons of Israel.
52 Choncho udzalionera kutali dziko limene ndikupereka kwa Aisraeli. Sudzalowa mʼdziko limene ndi kulipereka kwa Aisraeli.”
Indeed, you see the land before [you], but you do not go in there to the land which I am giving to the sons of Israel.”
