< 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 son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
2 “Tenga zingwe zomangira ndi mitengo ya goli ndipo uzimangirire mʼkhosi mwako.
“Thus said YHWH to me: Make bands and yokes for yourself,
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 you have put them on your neck, and have sent them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the sons of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of messengers who are coming to Jerusalem, to 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 you have commanded them for their lords, saying, Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel:
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.
Thus you say to your lords, I have made the earth with man, and the livestock that [are] on the face of the earth, by My great power, and by My outstretched arm, and I have given it to whom it has been right in My eyes.
6 Tsopano ndidzapereka mayiko anu onse kwa mtumiki wanga Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni. Ndamupatsanso nyama zakuthengo zonse kuti zimutumikire.
And now, I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and I have also given the beast of the field to 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 have served him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the coming in of the time of his land, also it; and many nations and great kings have made him serve them.
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 has come to pass, the nation and the kingdom that does not serve him—Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon—and that which does not put its neck into the yoke of the king of Babylon, with sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, I lay a charge on that nation—a declaration of YHWH—until I consume 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.’
And you, you do not listen to your prophets, and to your diviners, and to your dreamers, and to your observers of clouds, and to your sorcerers who are speaking to you, saying, You do 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 are prophesying falsehood to you, so as to remove you far from your ground, and I have driven you out, and you have perished.
11 Koma ngati mtundu wina uliwonse udzagonjera mfumu ya ku Babuloni ndi kuyitumukira, ndidzawusiya kuti ukhale mʼdziko lake kuti uzilima ndi kukhalamo, akutero Yehova.’”
And the nation that causes its neck to enter into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and has served him—I have left it on its ground—a declaration of YHWH—and it has tilled it, and dwelt in it.”
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 have spoken to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, “Cause your necks to enter into 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 do you die, you and your people, by sword, by famine, and by pestilence, as YHWH has spoken concerning the nation that does not serve the king of Babylon?
14 Musamvere mawu a aneneri akamakuwuzani kuti, ‘Simudzatumikira mfumu ya ku Babuloni,’ chifukwa zimene akukuloseranizo nʼzabodza.
And you do not listen to the words of the prophets who are speaking to you, saying, You do not serve the king of Babylon—for they are prophesying falsehood to 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—a declaration of YHWH—and they are prophesying falsely in My Name, so as to drive you out, and you have perished, you and the prophets who are prophesying to 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.
And to the priests, and to all this people, I have spoken, saying, “Thus said YHWH: You do not listen to the words of your prophets, who are prophesying to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the house of YHWH are now brought back from Babylon in haste, for they are prophesying falsehood to you.
17 Musawamvere. Tumikirani mfumu ya ku Babuloni, ndipo mudzakhala ndi moyo. Mzindawu usandukirenji bwinja?
You do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon and live! Why is this city a ruin?
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.
And if they are prophets, and if a word of YHWH is with them, let them now intercede with YHWH of Hosts, so that the vessels that are left in the house of YHWH, and [in] the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, have not gone into Babylon.
19 Pakuti Yehova akunena za zipilala, za mbiya ya madzi, maphaka ndi ziwiya zina zimene zatsala mu Yerusalemu.
For thus said YHWH of Hosts concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left 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.
that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has not taken, in his removing Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon with 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,
surely thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, concerning the vessels that are left of the house of YHWH, and of the house of the king of Judah, and [in] Jerusalem:
22 ‘Zidzatengedwa kupita ku Babuloni ndipo zidzakhala kumeneko mpaka tsiku limene ndidzawakumbukirenso,’ akutero Yehova. ‘Pamenepo ndidzazitenganso ndi kuzibwezanso ku malo ano.’”
They are brought to Babylon, and there they are until the day of My inspecting them—a declaration of YHWH; then I have brought them up, and have brought them back to this place.”
