Yeremiya 25
1 Yehova anayankhula ndi Yeremiya za anthu onse a ku Yuda mʼchaka chachinayi cha ufumu wa Yehoyakimu mwana wa Yosiya mfumu ya ku Yuda, chimene chinali chaka choyamba cha ufumu wa Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni.
The word that came to Jeremias concerning all the people of Juda, in the fourth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, (the same is the first year of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, )
2 Choncho mneneri Yeremiya anawuza anthu onse a ku Yuda pamodzi ndi onse amene amakhala mu Yerusalemu kuti:
Which Jeremias the prophet spoke to all the people of Juda, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:
3 Kwa zaka 23, kuyambira chaka cha 13 cha ufumu wa Yosiya mwana wa Amoni mfumu ya ku Yuda mpaka lero lino, Yehova wakhala akundipatsa mauthenga ake ndipo ine ndakhala ndikuyankhula ndi inu kawirikawiri, koma inu simunamvere.
From the thirteenth year of Josias the son of Ammon king of Juda until this day: this is the three and twentieth year, the word of the Lord hath come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising before day, and speaking, and you have not hearkened.
4 Ndipo ngakhale Yehova kawirikawiri wakhala akukutumizirani atumiki ake onse, aneneri, inuyo simunamvere kapena kutchera khutu.
And the Lord hath sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising early, and sending, and you have not hearkened, nor inclined your ears to hear.
5 Aneneriwo ankanena kuti, “Ngati aliyense wa inu abwerere, kusiya njira zake zoyipa ndi machitidwe ake oyipa, ndiye kuti mudzakhala mʼdziko limene Yehova anapereka kwa makolo anu kwamuyaya.
When he said: Return ye, every one from his evil way, and from your wicked devices, and you shall dwell in the land which the Lord hath given to you, and your fathers for ever and ever.
6 Musatsatire milungu ina nʼkuyitumikira ndi kuyipembedza. Musapute mkwiyo wanga ndi mafano amene mwapanga ndi manja anu. Mukatero Ine sindidzakuwonongani.
And go not after strange gods to serve them, and adore them: nor provoke me to wrath by the works of your hands, and I will not afflict you.
7 “Koma inu simunandimvere,” akutero Yehova, “ndipo munaputa mkwiyo wanga ndi mafano amene munapanga ndi manja anu. Choncho munadziwononga nokha.”
And you have not heard me, saith the Lord, that you might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, to your own hurt.
8 Nʼchifukwa chake Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, “Chifukwa simunamvere mawu anga,
Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts: Because you have not heard my words:
9 ndidzayitana mafuko onse akumpoto, pamodzi ndi mtumiki wanga Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni,” akutero Yehova, “ndipo adzathira nkhondo dziko lino ndi anthu ake pamodzi ndi mitundu yonse ya anthu ozungulira dzikoli. Ndidzawawononga kwathunthu ndi kuwasandutsa chinthu chochititsa mantha ndi chonyozeka, mpaka muyaya.
Behold I will send, and take all the kindreds of the north, saith the Lord, and Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon my servant: and I will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all the nations that are round about it: and I will destroy them, and make them an astonishment and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
10 Ndidzathetsa mfuwu wachimwemwe ndi wachisangalalo, mawu a mkwati ndi mkwatibwi, phokoso la mphero ndi kuwala kwa nyale.
And I will take away from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the mill, and the light of the lamp.
11 Dziko lonse lidzakhala bwinja ndi chipululu, ndipo mitundu ina idzatumikira mfumu ya ku Babuloni kwa 70.
And all this land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment: and all these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.
12 “Koma zaka 70 zikadzatha, ndidzalanga mfumu ya ku Babuloni pamodzi ndi anthu ake, chifukwa cha zolakwa zawo,” akutero Yehova, “ndipo dziko lawo lidzakhala chipululu mpaka muyaya.
And when the seventy years shall be expired, I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans: and I will make it perpetual desolations.
13 Ndidzachita zinthu zonse zimene ndinayankhula zotsutsa dzikolo, zonse zimene zalembedwa mʼbuku lino, ndiponso zonse zimene Yeremiya analosera zotsutsa anthu amenewa.
And I will bring upon the land all my words, that I have spoken against it, all that is written in this book, all that Jeremias hath prophesied against all nations:
14 Iwo eni adzakhala akapolo a anthu a mitundu yochuluka ndi mafumu amphamvu. Ndidzawabwezera molingana ndi zochita zawo ndi ntchito za manja awo.”
For they have served them, whereas they were many nations, and great kings: and I will repay them according to their deeds, and according to the works of their hands.
15 Yehova, Mulungu wa Israeli, anandiwuza kuti, “Tenga chikho ichi chodzaza ndi vinyo wa ukali wanga, ndipo ukamwetse anthu a mitundu yonse kumene ndikukutuma.
For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Take the cup of wine of this fury at my hand: and thou shalt make all nations to drink thereof, unto which I shall send thee.
16 Akadzamwa adzayamba kudzandira ndi kuchita misala chifukwa cha nkhondo imene ndikuyitumiza pakati pawo.”
And they shall drink, and be troubled, and be mad because of the sword, which I shall send among them.
17 Choncho ine ndinatenga chikhocho mʼdzanja la Yehova ndipo ndinamwetsa mitundu yonse ya anthu kumene Iye ananditumako:
And I took the cup at the hand of the Lord, and I presented it to all the nations to drink of it, to which the Lord sent me:
18 Anandituma ku Yerusalemu ndi ku mizinda ya Yuda, kwa mafumu ake ndi nduna zake kuti ndikawasandutse ngati bwinja ndi chinthu chochititsa mantha ndi chonyozeka ndiponso chotembereredwa, monga mmene alili lero lino.
To wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Juda, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof: to make them a desolation, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a curse, as it is at this day.
19 Ananditumanso kwa Farao, mfumu ya ku Igupto, kwa atumiki ake, nduna zake ndi kwa anthu ake onse,
Pharao the king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, and all his people,
20 ndi kwa anthu ena onse a mitundu yachilendo; mafumu onse a ku Uzi; mafumu onse a Afilisti, a ku Asikeloni, ku Gaza, ku Ekroni ndiponso kwa anthu a ku chigwa chotsala cha Asidodi;
And all in general: all the kings of the land of Ausitis, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ascalon, and Gaza, and Accaron, and the remnant of Azotus.
21 Edomu, Mowabu ndi Amoni.
And Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon.
22 Ananditumanso kwa mafumu onse a ku Turo ndi ku Sidoni; kwa mafumu a kutsidya la nyanja;
And all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon: and the kings of the land of the islands that are beyond the sea.
23 ku Dedani, ku Tema, ku Buzi ndi kwa onse ometa chamʼmbali.
And Dedan, and Thema, and Buz, and all that have their hair cut round.
24 Ananditumanso kwa mafumu onse a ku Arabiya ndi mafumu onse a anthu achilendo amene amakhala mʼchipululu.
And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the west, that dwell in the desert.
25 Anandituma kwa mafumu onse a ku Zimuri, Elamu ndi Mediya;
And all the kings of Zambri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of Medes:
26 ndiponso kwa mafumu onse a kumpoto, akufupi ndi kutali omwe, mafumu onse a dziko lapansi. Ndipo potsiriza pake, idzamwenso ndi mfumu Sesaki.
And all the kings of the north far and near, every one against his brother: and all the kingdoms of the earth, which are upon the face thereof: and the king of Sesac shall drink after them.
27 “Ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli akuti: Imwani, ledzerani ndipo musanze, mugwe osadzukanso chifukwa cha nkhondo imene ndikutumiza pakati panu.’
And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Drink ye, and be drunken, and vomit: and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword, which I shall send among you.
28 Koma ngati akana kutenga chikhocho mʼdzanja lako ndi kumwa, uwawuze kuti, ‘Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti: Muyenera kumwa ndithu!’”
And if they refuse to take the cup at thy hand to drink, thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Drinking you shall drink:
29 Taonani, tsopano ndiyamba kulanga mzinda uno umene umadziwika ndi dzina langa. Kodi inu muganiza kuti simudzalangidwa? Ayi, simudzapulumuka chifukwa ndikutumiza nkhondo pa onse okhala pa dziko lapansi, akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
For behold I begin to bring evil on the city wherein my name is called upon: and shall you be as innocent and escape free? you shall not escape free: for I will call for the sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith the Lord of hosts.
30 “Tsopano iwe nenera mawu owatsutsa ndipo uwawuze kuti, “‘Yehova adzabangula kumwamba; mawu ake adzamveka ngati bingu kuchokera ku malo ake opatulika. Adzabangula mwamphamvu kukalipira dziko lake. Iye adzafuwula ngati anthu oponda mphesa, kukalipira onse amene akukhala pa dziko lapansi.
And thou shalt prophesy unto them all these words, and thou shalt say to them: The Lord shall roar from on high, and shall utter his voice from his holy habitation: roaring he shall roar upon the place of his beauty: the shout as it were of them that tread grapes shall be given out against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 Phokoso lalikulu lidzamveka mpaka kumalekezero a dziko lonse lapansi, chifukwa Yehova adzazenga mlandu anthu a mitundu yonse; adzaweruza mtundu wonse wa anthu ndipo oyipa adzawapha ndi lupanga,’” akutero Yehova.
The noise is come even to the ends of the earth: for the Lord entereth into judgement with the nations: he entereth into judgement with all flesh; the wicked I have delivered up to the sword, saith the Lord.
32 Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, “Taonani! Mavuto akuti akachoka pa mtundu wina akukagwa pa mtundu wina; mphepo ya mkuntho ikuyambira ku malekezero a dziko.”
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold evil shall go forth from nation to nation: and a great whirlwind shall go forth from the ends of the earth.
33 Pa tsiku limenelo, onse ophedwa ndi Yehova adzangoti mbwee ponseponse, pa dziko lonse lapansi. Palibe amene adzawalire kapena kusonkhanitsa mitemboyo kuti ikayikidwe mʼmanda, koma idzakhala mbwee ngati ndowe.
And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end thereof: they shall not be lamented, and they shall not be gathered up, nor buried: they shall lie as dung upon the face of the earth.
34 Khetsani misozi ndi kufuwula mwamphamvu, abusa inu; gubudukani pa fumbi, inu atsogoleri a nkhosa. Pakuti nthawi yanu yophedwa yafika; mudzagwa ndi kuphwanyika ngati mbiya yabwino kwambiri.
Howl, ye shepherds, and cry: and sprinkle yourselves with ashes, ye leaders of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and your dispersion are accomplished, and you shall fall like precious vessels.
35 Abusa adzasowa kothawira, atsogoleri a nkhosa adzasowa malo opulumukira.
And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the leaders of the flock to save themselves.
36 Imvani kulira kwa abusa, atsogoleri a nkhosa akulira, chifukwa Yehova akuwononga msipu wawo.
A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and a howling of the principal of the flock: because the Lord hath wasted their pastures.
37 Makola awo a nkhosa amene anali pamtendere adzasanduka bwinja chifukwa cha mkwiyo woopsa wa Yehova.
And the fields of peace have been silent, because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
38 Ngati mkango, Yehova wasiya phanga lake, pakuti dziko lawo lasanduka chipululu chifukwa cha nkhondo ya owazunza ndiponso chifukwa cha mkwiyo woopsa wa Yehova.
He has forsaken his covert as the lion, for the land is laid waste because of the wrath of the dove, and because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
