Yeremiya 46
1 Yehova anamupatsa Yeremiya uthenga wonena za anthu a mitundu ina.
That which has been the word of YHWH to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations,
2 Kunena za Igupto: Yehova ananena za gulu lankhondo la Farao Neko mfumu ya ku Igupto limene Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni analigonjetsa ku Karikemesi ku mtsinje wa Yufurate mʼchaka cha chinayi cha Yehoyakimu mwana wa Yosiya mfumu ya Yuda,
for Egypt, concerning the force of Pharaoh-Necho king of Egypt, that has been by the Euphrates River, in Carchemish, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has struck, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:
3 anati, “Konzani zishango zanu ndi malihawo, ndipo yambanipo kupita ku nkhondo!
“Set shield and buckler in array, And draw near to battle.
4 Mangani akavalo, ndipo kwerani inu okwerapo! Khalani pa mzere mutavala zipewa! Nolani mikondo yanu, valani malaya anu ankhondo!
Gird the horses, and go up, you horsemen, And station yourselves with helmets, Polish the javelins, put on the coats of mail.
5 Yeremiya anati: Kodi ndikuona chiyani? Achita mantha akubwerera, ankhondo awo agonjetsedwa. Akuthawa mofulumirapo osayangʼananso mʼmbuyo, ndipo agwidwa ndi mantha ponseponse,” akutero Yehova.
Why have I seen them dismayed [and] turned backward? And their mighty ones are beaten down, And they have fled [to] a refuge, And did not turn their face, Fear [is] all around—a declaration of YHWH.
6 Waliwiro sangathe kuthawa ngakhale wankhondo wamphamvu sangathe kupulumuka. Akunka napunthwa ndi kugwa kumpoto kwa mtsinje wa Yufurate.
The swift do not flee, nor do the mighty escape, Northward, by the side of the Euphrates River, They have stumbled and fallen.
7 “Kodi ndani amene akukwera ngati Nailo, ngati mtsinje wa madzi amkokomo?
Who is this? He comes up as a flood, His waters shake themselves as rivers!
8 Igupto akusefukira ngati Nailo, ngati mitsinje ya madzi amkokomo. Iye akunena kuti, ‘Ndidzadzuka ndi kuphimba dziko lapansi; ndidzawononga mizinda ndi anthu ake.’
Egypt comes up as a flood, And the waters shake themselves as rivers. And he says, I go up; I cover the land, I destroy the city and the inhabitants in it.
9 Tiyeni, inu akavalo! Thamangani inu magaleta! Tulukani, inu ankhondo, ankhondo a ku Kusi ndi Puti amene mumanyamula zishango, ankhondo a ku Ludi amene mumaponya uta.
Go up, you horses; and boast yourselves, you chariots, And go forth, you mighty, Cush and Phut handling the shield, And Lud handling—treading the bow.
10 Koma tsikulo ndi la Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse; tsiku lolipsira, lolipsira adani ake. Lupanga lake lidzawononga ndi kukhuta magazi, lidzaledzera ndi magazi. Pakuti Yehova, Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, adzapereka adani ake ngati nsembe mʼdziko la kumpoto mʼmbali mwa mtsinje wa Yufurate.
And that day [is] to Lord YHWH of Hosts A day of vengeance, To be avenged of His adversaries, And the sword has devoured, and been satisfied, And it has been watered from their blood, For a sacrifice [is] to Lord YHWH of Hosts, In the land of the north, by the Euphrates River.
11 “Pita ku Giliyadi ukatenge mankhwala iwe namwali Igupto. Wayesayesa mankhwala ambiri koma osachira; palibe mankhwala okuchiritsa.
Go up to Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt, You have multiplied medicines in vain, There is no healing for you.
12 Anthu a mitundu ina amva za manyazi ako; kulira kwako kwadzaza dziko lapansi. Ankhondo akunka nagwetsanagwetsana, onse awiri agwa pansi limodzi.”
Nations have heard of your shame, And your cry has filled the land, For the mighty stumbled on the mighty, Together they have fallen—both of them!”
13 Uthenga umene Yehova anapatsa mneneri Yeremiya wonena za kubwera kwa Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni kudzathira nkhondo Igupto ndi uwu:
The word that YHWH has spoken to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the coming in of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, to strike the land of Egypt:
14 “Mulengeze ku Igupto. Mulengeze ku Migidoli. Mulengezenso ku Mefisi ndi ku Tapanesi. Muwawuze anthu akumeneko kuti, ‘Imani pamalo panu ndi kukhala okonzeka kudziteteza, chifukwa lupanga lidzawononga zonse zimene muli nazo.’
“Declare in Egypt, and sound in Migdol, And sound in Noph, and in Tahpanhes, say, Stand firm and prepare yourself, For a sword has devoured around you,
15 Chifukwa chiyani mulungu wanu wamphamvu uja Apisi wathawa? Iye sakanatha kulimba chifukwa Yehova anamugwetsa.
Why has your bull been swept away? He has not stood, because YHWH thrust him away.
16 Ankhondo anu apunthwa ndi kugwa. Aliyense akuwuza mnzake kuti, ‘Tiyeni tibwerere kwathu, ku dziko kumene tinabadwira, tithawe lupanga la adani athu.’
He has multiplied the stumbling, Indeed, one has fallen on his neighbor, And they say: Rise, and we return to our people, And to the land of our birth, Because of the oppressing sword.
17 Kumeneku iwo adzafuwula kuti, ‘Farao, mfumu ya ku Igupto mupatseni dzina lakuti, Waphokoso, Wotaya mwayi wake.’
They have cried there: Pharaoh king of Egypt [is] a desolation, The appointed time has passed by.
18 “Pali Ine wamoyo,” ikutero Mfumu, imene dzina lake ndi Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, “wina adzabwera amene ali ngati Tabori phiri lopambana mapiri ena, ngati phiri la Karimeli loti njoo mʼmbali mwa nyanja.
[As] I live—an affirmation of the King, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name, Surely as Tabor [is] among mountains, And as Carmel by the sea—he comes in,
19 Konzani katundu wanu wopita naye ku ukapolo inu anthu a ku Igupto, pakuti Mefisi adzasanduka chipululu ndipo adzakhala bwinja mopanda wokhalamo.
Make goods for yourself for removal, O inhabitant, daughter of Egypt, For Noph becomes a desolation, And has been burned up, without inhabitant.
20 “Igupto ali ngati mwana wangʼombe wokongola, koma chimphanga chikubwera kuchokera kumpoto kudzalimbana naye.
Egypt [is] a very beautiful heifer, Destruction comes into her from the north.
21 Ngakhale ankhondo aganyu amene ali naye ali ngati ana angʼombe onenepa. Nawonso abwerera mʼmbuyo, nathawa pamodzi. Palibe amene wachirimika. Ndithu, tsiku la tsoka lawafikira; ndiyo nthawi yowalanga.
Even her hired ones in her midst [are] as calves of the stall, For even they have turned, They have fled together, they have not stood, For the day of their calamity has come on them, The time of their inspection.
22 Aigupto akuthawa ndi liwu lawo lili ngati la njoka yothawa pamene adani abwera ndi zida zawo, abwera ndi nkhwangwa ngati anthu odula mitengo.
Its voice goes on as a serpent, For they go with a force, And they have come in to her with axes, As hewers of trees.
23 Iwo adzadula nkhalango ya Igupto,” akutero Yehova, “ngakhale kuti ndi yowirira. Anthuwo ndi ochuluka kupambana dzombe, moti sangatheke kuwerengeka.
They have cut down her forest, A declaration of YHWH, For it is not searched, For they have been more than the grasshopper, And they have no numbering.
24 Anthu a ku Igupto achita manyazi atengedwa ukapolo ndi anthu a kumpoto.”
The daughter of Egypt has been ashamed, She has been given into the hand of the people of the north.
25 Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli, akunena kuti, “Ndili pafupi kulanga Amoni mulungu wa Tebesi. Ndidzalanganso Farao ndi Igupto pamodzi ndi milungu yake yonse, mafumu ake ndi onse amene amamukhulupirira.
YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, has said: Behold, I am seeing after Amon of No, And after Pharaoh, and after Egypt, And after her gods, and after her kings, And after Pharaoh, and after those trusting in him,
26 Ndidzawapereka kwa amene akufuna kuwapha, ndiye kuti kwa Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni ndi atsogoleri ake ankhondo. Komabe, mʼtsogolomo Igupto adzakhalanso ndi anthu monga kale,” akutero Yehova.
And I have given them into the hand of those seeking their life, And into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of his servants, And afterward it is inhabited, As [in] days of old—a declaration of YHWH.
27 “Iwe mtumiki wanga Yakobo, usachite mantha; usataye mtima, iwe Israeli. Ndithu Ine ndidzakupulumutsa kuchokera ku mayiko akutali, ndidzapulumutsanso zidzukulu zako kuchokera ku mayiko kumene anapita nazo ku ukapolo. Yakobo adzabwerera ndipo adzakhala motakasuka ndi pa mtendere, ndipo palibenso wina amene adzamuopsa.
And you, you do not fear, My servant Jacob, Nor [are] you dismayed, O Israel, For behold, I am saving you from afar—And your seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob has turned back, And has been at rest, and been at ease, And there is none disturbing.
28 Iwe mtumiki wanga Yakobo, usachite mantha, pakuti Ine ndili nawe,” akutero Yehova. “Ndidzawonongeratu mitundu yonse ya anthu a ku mayiko kumene ndakupirikitsira, Koma iwe sindidzakuwononga kotheratu. Ndidzakulanga iwe ndithu koma moyenerera; sindidzakulekerera osakulanga.”
You do not fear, My servant Jacob, A declaration of YHWH, For I [am] with you, For I make an end of all the nations To where I have driven you, And I do not make an end of you, And I have reproved you in judgment, And do not entirely acquit you!”
