Yeremiya 43
1 Yeremiya atatsiriza kuwawuza anthuwo mawu onse a Yehova Mulungu wawo, amene Yehova anamutuma kuti akawawuze,
It happened that Jeremiah finished proclaiming to all the people all the words of Yahweh their God that Yahweh their God had told him to say.
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.’
Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and all the arrogant men said to Jeremiah, “You are telling lies. Yahweh our God has not sent you to say, 'Do not go to Egypt to live 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.”
For Baruch son of Neriah is inciting you against us to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, for you to cause our death and to make us captives in 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 son of Kareah, all the princes of the army, and all the people refused to listen to Yahweh's voice to live 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.
Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders took away all the remnant of Judah who had returned from all the nations where they had been scattered to live in the land of Judah.
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.
They took the men and women, the children and the king's daughters, and every person whom Nebuzaradan, the commander of the king's bodyguards, had let remain with Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan. They also took Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch son of Neriah.
7 Kotero anthuwo analowa mʼdziko la Igupto chifukwa anakana kumvera Yehova, nakafika ku Tapanesi.
They went to the land of Egypt, to Tahpanhes, because they did not listen to Yahweh's voice.
8 Ndipo Yehova anayankhula ndi Yeremiya ku Tapanesi kuti,
So the word of Yahweh 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 some large stones in your hand, and, in the sight of the people of Judah, hide them in the mortar in the pavement at the entrance to Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes.”
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.
Then say to them, “Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, 'See, I am about to send messengers to take Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon as my servant. I will place his throne over these stones that you, Jeremiah, have buried. Nebuchadnezzar will place his pavilion 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.
For he will come and attack the land of Egypt. Anyone who is assigned to death will be given to death. Anyone who is assigned to captivity will be taken captive. Anyone who is assigned to 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.
Then I will light a fire in the temples of Egypt's gods. Nebuchadnezzar will burn them or capture them. He will clean out the land of Egypt just as shepherds clean vermin off their clothes. He will go out from that place in victory.
13 Ku Iguptoko adzagwetsa zipilala zachipembedzo za ku nyumba yopembedzera mulungu wa dzuwa. Adzatentha ndi moto nyumba za milungu ya ku Igupto.’”
He will break the stone pillars at Heliopolis in the land of Egypt. He will burn the temples of Egypt's gods.'”
