< Yeremiya 43 >
1 Yeremiya atatsiriza kuwawuza anthuwo mawu onse a Yehova Mulungu wawo, amene Yehova anamutuma kuti akawawuze,
And it came about that when Jeremiah had come to the end of giving all the people the words of the Lord their God, which the Lord their God had sent him to say to them, even all these words,
2 Azariya mwana wa Hosayia ndi Yohanani mwana wa Kareya pamodzi ndi anthu onse odzikuza anawuza Yeremiya kuti, “Ukunama iwe! Yehova Mulungu wathu sanakutume kuti unene kuti, ‘Musapite ku Igupto kukakhala kumeneko.’
Then Azariah, the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the men of pride, said to Jeremiah, You have said what is false: the Lord our God has not sent you to say, You are not to go into the land of Egypt and make your living-place there:
3 Koma ndi Baruki mwana wa Neriya amene akukulimbikitsa kuti utiletse zopita ku Igupto ndi kuti mʼmalo mwake tidzipereke mʼmanja mwa Ababuloni, kuti iwo atiphe kapena kutitenga ukapolo ku Babuloni.”
But Baruch, the son of Neriah, is moving you against us, to give us up into the hands of the Chaldaeans so that they may put us to death, and take us away prisoners into Babylon.
4 Motero Yohanani mwana wa Kareya ndi atsogoleri onse a ankhondo pamodzi ndi anthu onse sanamvere lamulo la Yehova loti akhale mʼdziko la Yuda.
So Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, did not give ear to the order of the Lord that they were to go on living in the land of Judah.
5 Mʼmalo mwake, Yohanani mwana wa Kareya ndi atsogoleri onse a ankhondo anatenga anthu onse otsala a ku Yuda amene anabwera kudzakhala mʼdziko la Yuda kuchokera ku mayiko onse kumene anabalakirako.
But Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces took all the rest of Judah who had come back into the land of Judah from all the nations where they had been forced to go;
6 Mʼgulu la anthu otengedwalo munali amuna onse, akazi ndi ana, ana aakazi a mfumu, ndiponso anthu amene Nebuzaradani mtsogoleri wa asilikali olonda mfumu anawasiya kwa Gedaliya mwana wa Ahikamu, mdzukulu wa Safani pamodzinso ndi mneneri Yeremiya ndi Baruki mwana wa Neriya.
The men and the women and the children and the king's daughters, and every person whom Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, had put under the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch, the son of Neriah;
7 Kotero anthuwo analowa mʼdziko la Igupto chifukwa anakana kumvera Yehova, nakafika ku Tapanesi.
And they came into the land of Egypt; for they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord: and they came to Tahpanhes.
8 Ndipo Yehova anayankhula ndi Yeremiya ku Tapanesi kuti,
Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,
9 “Tenga miyala inayi yayikulu ndipo uyikwirire mʼdothi pa chiwundo cha polowera ku nyumba yaufumu ya Farao ku Tapanesi. Uchite zimenezi Ayuda onse akuona.
Take in your hand some great stones, and put them in a safe place in the paste in the brickwork which is at the way into Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, before the eyes of the men of Judah;
10 Ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli akuti: Ndidzayitana mtumiki wanga Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni, ndipo adzakhazika mpando wake waufumu pa miyala imene ndayikwirira apayi. Iye adzafunyulula tenti yake yaufumu pa miyala imeneyi.
And say to them, This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and he will put the seat of his kingdom on these stones which have been put in a safe place here by you; and his tent will be stretched over them.
11 Iye adzabwera kudzathira nkhondo Igupto. Iwo oyenera kufa ndi mliri adzafa ndi mliri, iwo oyenera kutengedwa ukapolo adzatengedwa ukapolo, ndipo iwo oyenera kufa ndi lupanga adzafa ndi lupanga.
And he will come and overcome the land of Egypt; those who are for death will be put to death, those who are to be prisoners will be made prisoners, and those who are for the sword will be given to the sword.
12 Adzayatsa moto mʼnyumba zopembedzera milungu ya Igupto. Adzayeretsa dziko la Igupto monga momwe mʼbusa amayeretsera chovala chake pochotsamo nsabwe. Pambuyo pake adzachoka mʼdziko la Igupto mwa mtendere.
And he will put a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and they will be burned by him: and he will make Egypt clean as a keeper of sheep makes clean his clothing; and he will go out from there in peace.
13 Ku Iguptoko adzagwetsa zipilala zachipembedzo za ku nyumba yopembedzera mulungu wa dzuwa. Adzatentha ndi moto nyumba za milungu ya ku Igupto.’”
And the stone pillars of Beth-shemesh in the land of Egypt will be broken by him, and the houses of the gods of Egypt burned with fire.
