Yeremiya 30
1 Yehova anawuza Yeremiya kuti,
Ilizwi elafika kuJeremiya livela eNkosini lisithi:
2 “Ine Yehova, Mulungu wa Israeli ndikuti, ‘Lemba mʼbuku mawu onse amene ndakuwuza.
Itsho njalo iNkosi uNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, isithi: Zibhalele encwadini wonke amazwi engiwakhulume kuwe.
3 Nthawi ikubwera pamene ndidzachotse anthu anga, Israeli ndi Yuda kuchokera ku ukapolo ndi kuwabwezera dziko limene ndinapatsa makolo awo,’ akutero Yehova.”
Ngoba khangela, insuku ziyeza, itsho iNkosi, ukuthi ngizabuyisa ukuthunjwa kwabantu bami uIsrayeli loJuda, itsho iNkosi, ngibabuyisele elizweni engalinika oyise, njalo bazakudla ilifa lalo.
4 Nawa mawu amene Yehova anayankhula ndi anthu a ku Israeli ndi Yuda:
Lala ngamazwi iNkosi eyawakhuluma mayelana loIsrayeli lamayelana loJuda.
5 “Yehova akuti: “Ndamva kulira chifukwa cha nkhawa, ndamva kulira kwa mantha popeza palibe mtendere.
Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi: Sizwile ilizwi lokuthuthumela; kulokwesaba, hatshi ukuthula.
6 Tsono khalani pansi ndi kudzifunsa kuti: Kodi munthu wamwamuna angathe kubereka mwana? Nanga nʼchifukwa chiyani ndikuona munthu aliyense wamwamuna atagwira manja ake pa mimba pake ngati mayi pa nthawi yake yochira? Chifukwa chiyani nkhope iliyonse ili yakugwa?
Ake libuze, libone uba indoda ingabeletha yini? Kungani ngibona ngulowo lalowo owesilisa isandla sakhe siphezu kokhalo lwakhe njengowesifazana obelethayo, lobuso bonke sebuphenduke baba mhlotshana?
7 Mayo ine! Tsiku limeneli ndi lalikulu kwambiri! Sipadzakhala lina lofanana nalo. Idzakhala nthawi ya masautso kwa Yakobo, koma adzapulumuka ku masautsowo.”
Maye! ngoba lukhulu lolosuku, okokuthi kalukho olunjengalo; kuyisikhathi sokuhlupheka kukaJakobe, kodwa uzasindiswa kukho.
8 Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, “Pa tsiku limenelo, ndidzathyola goli la ukapolo mʼkhosi mwawo ndipo ndidzadula zingwe zowamanga; Aisraeli sadzakhalanso akapolo a alendo.
Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku, itsho iNkosi yamabandla, ngizakwephula ijogwe lakhe entanyeni yakho, ngiqamule izibopho zakho; labezizwe kabasayikumsebenzisa.
9 Mʼmalo mwake, adzatumikira Yehova Mulungu wawo ndiponso Davide mfumu yawo, amene ndidzawasankhira.
Kodwa bazasebenzela uJehova, uNkulunkulu wabo, loDavida inkosi yabo engizabavusela yena.
10 “‘Tsono usachite mantha, iwe mtumiki wanga Yakobo; usade nkhawa, iwe Israeli,’ akutero Yehova. ‘Ndithu ndidzakupulumutsa kuchokera ku dziko lakutali, zidzukulu zako kuchokera ku dziko la ukapolo wawo. Yakobo adzabwerera ndipo adzakhala modekha pa mtendere, ndipo palibe amene adzamuchititsa mantha.
Ngakho wena ungesabi, nceku yami Jakobe, itsho iNkosi; futhi ungatshaywa luvalo, Israyeli; ngoba khangela, ngizakusindisa ukhatshana, lenzalo yakho elizweni lokuthunjwa kwayo; njalo uJakobe uzaphenduka, athule, onwabe, njalo kakho ozamenza esabe.
11 Ine ndili nanu ndipo ndidzakupulumutsani,’ akutero Yehova. ‘Ngakhale ndidzawononga kotheratu mitundu yonse ya anthu kumene ndinakubalalitsirani, koma inu sindidzakuwonongani kotheratu. Sindidzakulekani kuti mukhale osalangidwa. Koma ndidzakulangani mwachilungamo.’”
Ngoba mina ngilawe, itsho iNkosi, ukukusindisa; ngoba ngizakwenza ukuphela kuzo zonke izizwe engikuhlakazele khona, kodwa kangiyikwenza ukuphela kuwe; kodwa ngizakulaya ngokufaneleyo, kangiyikukuyekela ungajeziswanga ngokupheleleyo.
12 Yehova akuti, “Chilonda chanu nʼchosachizika, bala lanu ndi lonyeka.
Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi: Ukwaphuka kwakho kakwelapheki, isilonda sakho sibi.
13 Palibe amene angathe kukutetezani pa mlandu wanu, palibe chiyembekezo choti inu nʼkuchira, palibe mankhwala ochiritsa inu.
Kakho owahlulela udaba lwakho, ukuthi abophe isilonda sakho; kawulamithi epholisayo.
14 Abwenzi anu onse akuyiwalani; sasamalanso za inu. Ndakukanthani ngati mmene mdani akanachitira. Ndipo ndakulangani mwa nkhanza, chifukwa machimo anu ndi ambiri, ndipo kulakwa kwanu ndi kwakukulu.
Zonke izithandwa zakho zikukhohliwe; kazikudingi; ngoba ngikutshayile ngokutshaya kwesitha, ngokulaywa kololunya, ngenxa yobunengi besiphambeko sakho, izono zakho zandile.
15 Chifukwa chiyani mukulira nacho chilonda chanu? Bala lanu silingapole ayi. Ine ndakuchitani zimenezi chifukwa machimo anu ndi ambiri ndipo kulakwa kwanu nʼkwakukulu.
Ukhalelani ngokwephuka kwakho? Usizi lwakho kalwelapheki ngenxa yobunengi besiphambeko sakho; ngoba izono zakho zandile, ngizenzile lezizinto kuwe.
16 “Tsono onse amene anakuwonongani, nawonso adzawonongedwa; adani anu onse adzapita ku ukapolo. Iwo amene anafunkha zinthu zanu, zinthu zawo zidzafunkhidwanso; onse amene anakusakazani nawonso adzasakazidwa.
Ngakho bonke abakudlayo bazadliwa; lazo zonke izitha zakho, zonke zizakuya ekuthunjweni; labakuphangayo bazakuba yimpango, labo bonke abakwemukayo ngizabanikela ekwemukweni.
17 Ndidzachiza matenda anu ndi kupoletsa zilonda zanu, akutero Yehova, ‘chifukwa mukutchedwa anthu otayika. Amati, ndi anthu a ku Ziyoni awa amene alibe wowasamala.’”
Ngoba ngizakwenyusela ukuphila kuwe, ngikwelaphe emanxebeni akho, itsho iNkosi; ngoba bakubize ngokuthi oXotshiweyo, besithi: YiZiyoni, kakulamuntu oyidingayo.
18 Yehova akuti, “Ndidzabwera nalo banja la Yakobo ku dziko lawo ndipo ndidzachitira chifundo malo ake okhalamo; mzinda wa Yerusalemu udzamangidwanso pa bwinja pake, nyumba yaufumu idzamangidwanso pa malo pake penipeni.
Itsho njalo iNkosi: Khangela, ngizabuyisa ukuthunjwa kwamathente kaJakobe, ngihawukele amakhaya abo; njalo umuzi uzakwakhiwa phezu kwenqumbi yawo, lesigodlo sizahlala njengomkhuba waso.
19 Anthuwo adzayimba nyimbo zoyamika Yehova ndipo kudzamveka phokoso lachisangalalo. Ndidzawachulukitsa, ndipo chiwerengero chawo sichidzatsika; ndidzawapatsa ulemerero, ndipo sadzanyozedwanso.
Njalo kuzaphuma kubo ukubonga, lelizwi labathokozayo; njalo ngizabandisa, kabayikuba balutshwana; ngibadumise, kabayikweyiswa.
20 Ana awo adzakhalanso monga mmene analili kale, ndipo gulu lawo ndidzalikhazikitsa pamaso panga; ndidzalanga onse owazunza.
Labantwana babo bazakuba njengendulo, lenhlangano yabo izamiswa phambi kwami; njalo ngizajezisa bonke ababacindezelayo.
21 Mtsogoleri wawo adzakhala mmodzi mwa iwo. Wodzawalamulira adzachokera pakati pawo. Choncho ndidzawakokera kufupi ndi Ine ndipo iye adzandiyandikira. Ndani angalimbe mtima payekha kuyandikana nane popanda kuyitanidwa?” akutero Yehova.
Lesikhulu sabo sizavela kubo, lombusi wabo uzaphuma evela phakathi kwabo; njalo ngizamsondeza, asondele kimi; ngoba ngubani lowo ongenza inhliziyo yakhe isibambiso sokusondela kimi? itsho iNkosi.
22 “Choncho inu mudzakhala anthu anga, ndipo Ine ndidzakhala Mulungu wanu.”
Njalo lizakuba ngabantu bami, lami ngibe nguNkulunkulu wenu.
23 Taonani ukali wa Yehova wowomba ngati mphepo ya mkuntho. Mphepo ya namondwe ikuwomba pa mitu ya anthu oyipa.
Khangelani isivunguzane seNkosi, ukuvutha kuphumile, isivunguzane esikhukhulayo; sizakwehla ngamandla phezu kwekhanda lababi.
24 Mkwiyo woopsa wa Yehova sudzachoka mpaka atakwaniritsa zolinga za mu mtima mwake. Mudzamvetsa zimenezi masiku akubwerawo.
Ukuvutha kolaka lweNkosi kakuyikudeda, ize ikwenze, ize iqinise injongo zenhliziyo yayo; ekucineni kwezinsuku lizanakana ngalokhu.
