Yeremiya 27

1 Zedekiya mwana wa Yosiya, mfumu ya ku Yuda, atangoyamba kulamulira, Yehova anawuza Yeremiya kuti,

In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, came this word unto Jeremiah from the LORD, saying:

2 “Tenga zingwe zomangira ndi mitengo ya goli ndipo uzimangirire mʼkhosi mwako.

'Thus saith the LORD to me: Make thee bands and bars, and put them upon thy neck;

3 Tsono utumize uthenga kwa mafumu a Edomu, Mowabu, Amoni, Turo ndi Sidoni kudzera mwa amithenga amene abwera ku Yerusalemu kwa Zedekiya, mfumu ya Yuda.

and send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by the hand of the messengers that come to Jerusalem unto Zedekiah king of Judah;

4 Uwapatse uthenga wokapereka kwa ambuye awo ndipo uwawuze kuti: Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli akuti, ‘Mukawuze ambuye anu kuti:

and give them a charge unto their masters, saying: Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Thus shall ye say unto your masters:

5 Ndi mphamvu zanga ndi dzanja langa lamphamvu ndinalenga dziko lapansi ndi anthu ake onse pamodzi ndi nyama zili mʼmenemo, ndipo ndimalipereka kwa aliyense amene ndikufuna.

I have made the earth, the man and the beast that are upon the face of the earth, by My great power and by My outstretched arm; and I give it unto whom it seemeth right unto Me.

6 Tsopano ndidzapereka mayiko anu onse kwa mtumiki wanga Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni. Ndamupatsanso nyama zakuthengo zonse kuti zimutumikire.

And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, My servant; and the beasts of the field also have I given him to serve him.

7 Anthu a mitundu yonse adzamutumikira iyeyo, mwana wake ndi chidzukulu chake mpaka nthawi itakwana yoti dziko lake liwonongedwe. Pamenepo mitundu yambiri ndi mafumu amphamvu adzamugonjetsa.

And all the nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son's son, until the time of his own land come; and then many nations and great kings shall make him their bondman.

8 “‘Koma ngati anthu a mtundu wina uliwonse kapena ufumu wina uliwonse adzakana kutumikira Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni kapena kusenza goli lake, Ine ndidzalanga mtundu umenewo ndi lupanga, ndi njala ndi mliri, akutero Yehova, mpaka nditawapereka mʼmanja mwake kotheratu.

And it shall come to pass, that the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation will I visit, saith the LORD, with the sword, and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

9 Choncho musamvere aneneri anu, owombeza anu, otanthauza maloto anu, amawula anu kapena amatsenga anu akamakuwuzani kuti, ‘Simudzatumikira mfumu ya ku Babuloni.’

But as for you, hearken ye not to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreams, nor to your soothsayers, nor to your sorcerers, that speak unto you, saying: Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon;

10 Iwo akukuloserani zabodza kotero kuti adani adzakuchotsani mʼdziko lanu nʼkupita nanu ku dziko lakutali. Ndidzakupirikitsani ndi kukuwonongani kotheratu.

for they prophesy a lie unto you, to remove you far from your land; and that I should drive you out and ye should perish.

11 Koma ngati mtundu wina uliwonse udzagonjera mfumu ya ku Babuloni ndi kuyitumukira, ndidzawusiya kuti ukhale mʼdziko lake kuti uzilima ndi kukhalamo, akutero Yehova.’”

But the nation that shall bring their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, that nation will I let remain in their own land, saith the LORD; and they shall till it, and dwell therein.'

12 Uthenga womwewu ndinawuzanso Hezekiya mfumu ya Yuda. Ndinati, “Gonjerani mfumu ya ku Babuloni. Itumikireni iyoyo pamodzi ndi anthu ake ndipo mudzakhala ndi moyo.

And I spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying: 'Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.

13 Nanga inu ndi anthu anu, muferenji ndi lupanga, ndi njala, ndi mliri, zimene Yehova waopsezera mtundu wina uliwonse umene sudzatumikira mfumu ya ku Babuloni?

Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as the LORD hath spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?

14 Musamvere mawu a aneneri akamakuwuzani kuti, ‘Simudzatumikira mfumu ya ku Babuloni,’ chifukwa zimene akukuloseranizo nʼzabodza.

And hearken not unto the words of the prophets that speak unto you, saying: Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon, for they prophesy a lie unto you.

15 Sindinawatume ngakhale iwo akulosera mʼdzina langa. Nʼchifukwa chake, ndidzakupirikitsani ndipo mudzawonongeka kotheratu, inu pamodzi ndi aneneri amene akunenera zabodza kwa inu.”

For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, and they prophesy falsely in My name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you.'

16 Kenaka ndinawuza ansembe pamodzi ndi anthu ena onse kuti, “Yehova akuti: Musamvere aneneri amene akumanena kuti, ‘Posachedwapa ziwiya za mʼNyumba ya Yehova zibwera kuchokera ku Babuloni.’ Iwowo akunenera zabodza kwa inu.

Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying: 'Thus saith the LORD: Hearken not to the words of your prophets that prophesy unto you, saying: Behold, the vessels of the LORD'S house shall now shortly be brought back from Babylon; for they prophesy a lie unto you.

17 Musawamvere. Tumikirani mfumu ya ku Babuloni, ndipo mudzakhala ndi moyo. Mzindawu usandukirenji bwinja?

Hearken not unto them; serve the king of Babylon, and live; wherefore should this city become desolate?

18 Ngati iwo ndi aneneri ndipo ali ndi mawu a Yehova, apempheretu kwa Yehova Wamphamvuzonse kuti ziwiya zimene zatsala mʼNyumba ya Yehova ndi mʼnyumba ya mfumu ya Yuda ndiponso mu Yerusalemu zisatengedwe kupita ku Babuloni.

But if they be prophets, and if the word of the LORD be with them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts, that the vessels which are left in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, go not to Babylon.

19 Pakuti Yehova akunena za zipilala, za mbiya ya madzi, maphaka ndi ziwiya zina zimene zatsala mu Yerusalemu.

For thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city,

20 Izi ndi zimene Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni sanatenge pamene anatenga ukapolo Yekoniya mwana wa Yehoyakimu mfumu ya Yuda kupita ku Babuloni kuchokera ku Yerusalemu, pamodzi ndi anthu olemekezeka a ku Yuda ndi a ku Yerusalemu.

which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not, when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem;

21 Inde, Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli, akunena za zinthu zimene zinatsala mʼNyumba ya Yehova ndi mʼnyumba ya mfumu ya Yuda ndi mu Yerusalemu kuti,

yea, thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of the LORD, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem:

22 ‘Zidzatengedwa kupita ku Babuloni ndipo zidzakhala kumeneko mpaka tsiku limene ndidzawakumbukirenso,’ akutero Yehova. ‘Pamenepo ndidzazitenganso ndi kuzibwezanso ku malo ano.’”

They shall be carried to Babylon, and there shall they be, until the day that I remember them, saith the LORD, and bring them up, and restore them to this place.'
