Yeremiya 48
1 Ponena za Mowabu: Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli akuti, “Tsoka kwa mzinda wa Nebo, chifukwa wawonongedwa. Mzinda wa Kiriyataimu wachititsidwa manyazi ndipo wagonjetsedwa; linga lichititsidwa manyazi ndipo lagumulidwa.
Against Moab thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Woe to Nabo, for it is laid waste, and confounded: Cariathaim is taken: the strong city is confounded and hath trembled.
2 Palibenso amene akutamanda Mowabu; ku Hesiboni anthu anamupanganira zoyipa: ‘Bwerani, tiyeni timuwonongeretu kuti asakhalenso mtundu wa anthu.’ Inunso anthu a ku Madimena, adzakukhalitsani chete; ankhondo adzakupirikitsani.
There is no more rejoicing in Moab over Hesebon: they have devised evil. Come, and let us cut it off from being a nation. Therefore shalt thou in silence hold thy peace, and the sword shall follow thee.
3 Tamvani mfuwu wa anthu a ku Horonaimu. Iwo akulira kuti, ‘Kusakazika ndi kuwonongeka kwakukulu.’
A voice of crying from Oronaim: waste, and great destruction.
4 Mowabu wawonongeka; ana ake angʼonoangʼono akulira kwambiri.
Moab is destroyed: proclaim a cry for her little ones.
5 Anthu akukwera chikweza cha ku Luhiti, akulira kwambiri pamene akupita. Kulira chifukwa cha chiwonongeko kukumveka pa njira yotsikira ku Horonaimu.
For by the ascent of Luith shall the mourner go up with weeping: for in the descent of Oronaim the enemies have heard a howling of destruction.
6 Thawani! Dzipulumutseni; khalani ngati mbidzi ya mʼchipululu.
Flee, save your lives: and be as heath in the wilderness.
7 Popeza inu munkadalira ntchito zanu ndi chuma chanu, nanunso mudzatengedwa ukapolo, ndipo Kemosi adzapita ku ukapolo, pamodzi ndi ansembe ake ndi akuluakulu ake.
For because thou hast trusted in thy bulwarks, and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be taken: and Chamos shall go into captivity, his priests, and his princes together.
8 Wowononga adzabwera ndi kusakaza mzinda uliwonse, ndipo palibe mzinda umene udzapulumuke. Chigwa chidzasanduka bwinja ndipo malo athyathyathya a pamwamba pa phiri adzawonongedwa monga Yehova wayankhulira.
And the spoiler shall come upon every city, and no city shall escape: and the valleys shall perish, and the plains shall be destroyed, for the Lord hath spoken:
9 Mtsineni khutu Mowabu chifukwa adzasakazika; mizinda yake idzasanduka mabwinja, wopanda munthu wokhalamo.
Give a flower to Moab, for in its flower it shall go out: and the cities thereof shall be desolate, and uninhabited.
10 “Wotembereredwa munthu amene amagwira ntchito ya Yehova monyinyirika! Wotembereredwa munthu amene amaletsa lupanga lake kupha anthu!
Cursed be he that doth the work of the Lord deceitfully: and cursed be he that withholdeth his sword from blood.
11 “Mowabu wakhala pa mtendere kuyambira ubwana wake, ngati vinyo wokhazikika pa masese ake, osapungulidwa kuchoka mu mtsuko wina kuthira mu mtsuko wina; iye sanatengedwepo ukapolo. Nʼchifukwa chake kukoma kwake nʼkomwe kuja ndipo fungo lake silinasinthe.
Moab hath been fruitful from his youth, and hath rested upon his lees: and hath not been poured out from vessel to vessel, nor hath gone into captivity: therefore his taste hath remained in him, and his scent is not changed.
12 Nʼchifukwa chake masiku akubwera,” akutero Yehova, “pamene ndidzatuma anthu amene amakhuthula vinyo mʼmitsuko ndipo adzamukhutula; adzakhuthula vinyo yense mitsuko yake pambuyo pake nʼkuphwanya mitsukoyo.
Therefore behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will send him men that shall order and overturn his bottles, and they shall cast him down, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles one against another.
13 Pamenepo Mowabu adzachita manyazi ndi Kemosi, monga momwe Aisraeli anachitira manyazi ndi Beteli amene ankamukhutulira.
And Moab shall be ashamed of Chamos, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, in which they trusted.
14 “Kodi munganene bwanji kuti, ‘Ife ndife asilikali. Ife ndife ngwazi, anthu amphamvu pa nkhondo?’
How do you say: We are valiant, and stout men in battle?
15 Owononga Mowabu ndi mizinda yake abwera ndipo ankhondo adzalowa mʼmidzi yake; anyamata ake okongola apita kukaphedwa,” ikutero Mfumu, imene dzina lake ndi Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
Moab is laid waste, and they have cast down her cities: and her choice young men are gone down to the slaughter: saith the king, whose name is the Lord of hosts.
16 Kugwa kwa Mowabu kuli pafupi; masautso ake akubwera posachedwa.
The destruction of Moab is near to come: the calamity thereof shall come on exceeding swiftly.
17 Mulireni kwambiri, inu nonse amene mwamuzungulira, inu nonse amene mumadziwa za kutchuka kwake; nenani kuti, “Taonani momwe yathyokera ndodo yamphamvu yaufumu ija, taonani momwe ndodo yaulemu yathyokera!”
Comfort him, all you that are round about him, and all you that know his name, say: How is the strong staff broken, the beautiful rod?
18 “Tsikani pa ulemerero wanu ndipo khalani pansi powuma, inu anthu okhala ku Diboni, pakuti wowononga Mowabu wabwera kudzamenyana nanu, wasakaza mizinda yanu yotetezedwa.
Come down from thy glory, and sit in thirst, O dwelling of the daughter of Dibon: because the spoiler of Moab is come up to thee, he hath destroyed thy bulwarks.
19 Inu amene mumakhala ku Aroeri, imani mʼmbali mwa msewu ndi kumaonerera. Funsani mwamuna amene akuthawa ndiponso mkazi amene wapulumuka, afunseni kuti, ‘Kodi chachitika nʼchiyani?’”
Stand in the way, and look out, O habitation of Aroer: inquire of him that fleeth: and say to him that hath escaped: What Is done?
20 Iwo adzayankha kuti, “Mowabu wachititsidwa manyazi, pakuti wasakazika. Lirani mwachisoni ndipo fuwulani! Lengezani ku mtsinje wa Arinoni kuti Mowabu wawonongedwa.
Moab is confounded, because he is overthrown: howl ye, and cry, tell ye it in Amen, that Moab is wasted.
21 Chiweruzo chabwera ku mizinda ya ku mapiri, ndiyo Holoni, Yaza, Mefaati,
And judgment is come upon the plain country: upon Helon, and upon Jasa, and upon Mephaath.
22 Diboni, Nebo, Beti-Dibilataimu,
And upon Dibon, and upon Nabo, and upon the house of Deblathaim,
23 Kiriyataimu, Beti-Gamuli, Beti-Meoni,
And upon Cariathaim, and upon Bethgamul, and upon Bethmaon,
24 Keriyoti ndi Bozira ndi mizinda yonse ya Mowabu, yakutali ndi yapafupi yomwe.
And upon Carioth, and upon Bosra: and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.
25 Mphamvu za Mowabu zawonongeka; mkono wake wathyoka,” akutero Yehova.
The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, saith the Lord.
26 “Muledzeretseni Mowabu, chifukwa anadzikuza powukira Yehova. Mulekeni Mowabu avivinizike mʼmasanzi ake; mulekeni akhale chinthu chomachiseka.
Make him drunk, because he lifted up himself against the Lord: and Moab shall dash his hand in his own vomit, and he also shall be in derision.
27 Kodi suja Israeli anali kwa iwe ngati chinthu chomachiseka? Kodi Israeli anapezeka pakati pa akuba kuti nthawi zonse poyankhula za iye, iwe uzimupukusira mutu momunyoza?
For Israel hath been a derision unto thee: as though thou hadst found him amongst thieves: for thy words therefore, which thou hast spoken against him, thou shalt be led away captive.
28 Inu amene mumakhala ku Mowabu, siyani mizinda yanu ndi kukakhala pakati pa matanthwe. Khalani ngati nkhunda imene imamanga chisa chake pa khomo la phanga.
Leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, you that dwell in Moab: and be ye like the dove that maketh her nest in the mouth of the hole in the highest place.
29 “Tamva za kunyada kwa Mowabu, kunyada kwake nʼkwakukulu. Ndi wodzitama, wonyada ndi wodzitukumula. Ali ndi mtima wodzikweza.
We have heard the pride of Moab, he is exceeding proud: his haughtiness, and his arrogancy, and his pride, and the loftiness of his heart.
30 Ine ndikuzidziwa ntchito zake, akutero Yehova. Ntchitozo ndi nʼzosapindulitsa kanthu.
I know, saith the Lord, his boasting, and that the strength thereof is not according to it, neither hath it endeavoured to do according as it was able.
31 Nʼchifukwa chake ndidzamulira Mowabu, ine ndikulira chifukwa cha anthu onse a ku Mowabu, ndikubuwula chifukwa cha anthu a ku Kiri Heresi.
Therefore will I lament for Moab, and I will cry out to all Moab, for the men of the brick wall that mourn.
32 Ndikukhetsa misozi chifukwa cha inu, kupambana momwe ndinalirira Yazeri. Inu anthu a ku Sibina muli ngati mipesa imene nthambi zake zatambalala mpaka ku Nyanja; zafika mpaka ku nyanja ya Yazeri. Wowononga wasakaza zipatso zake zachilimwe ndi mpesa.
O vineyard of Sabama, I will weep for thee, with the mourning of Jazer: thy branches are gone over the sea, they are come even to the sea of Jazer: the robber hath rushed in upon thy harvest and thy vintage.
33 Chimwemwe ndi chisangalalo zatha ku minda ya zipatso ya ku Mowabu. Ndaletsa kuchucha kwa vinyo mopsinyira mphesa; palibe amene akufuwula mokondwa akamapsinya mphesa. Ngakhale kufuwula kulipo, koma sikufuwula kwa chimwemwe.
Joy and gladness is taken away from Carmel, and from the land of Moab, and I have taken away the wine out of the presses: the treader of the grapes shall not sing the accustomed cheerful tune.
34 “A ku Hesiboni ndi Eleali akulira ndipo mfuwu wawo ukumveka mpaka ku Yahazi, kuchokera ku Zowari mpaka ku Horonaimu ndi ku Egilati Selisiya. Ngakhale madzi a ku Nimurimu aphwa.
From the cry of Hesebon even to Eleale, and to Jasa, they have uttered their voice: from Segor to Oronaim, as a heifer of three years old: the waters also of Nemrim shall be very bad.
35 Ndidzawaletsa anthu a ku Mowabu kupereka nsembe mʼmalo awo opembedzera ndi kufukiza lubani kwa milungu yawo,” akutero Yehova.
And I will take away from Moab, saith the Lord, him that offereth in the high places, and that sacrificeth to his gods.
36 “Nʼchifukwa chake mtima wanga ukulirira Mowabu ngati chitoliro. Mtima wanga ukulirira anthu a ku Kiri Heresi ngati chitoliro chifukwa chuma chimene anachipata chatha.
Therefore my heart shall sound for Moab like pipes: and my heart a sound like pipes for the men of the brick wall: because he hath done more than he could, therefore they have perished.
37 Aliyense wameta mutu wake ndi ndevu zake; manja a munthu aliyense ndi ochekacheka, ndipo munthu aliyense wavala chiguduli mʼchiwuno mwake.
For every head shall be bald, and every beard shall be shaven: all hands shall be tied together, and upon every back there shall be haircloth.
38 Pa madenga onse a ku Mowabu ndiponso mʼmisewu yake anthu akungolira, pakuti ndaphwanya Mowabu ngati mtsuko wopanda ntchito,” akutero Yehova.
Upon all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof general mourning: because I have broken Moab as an useless vessel, saith the Lord.
39 “Taonani mmene waphwanyikira! Tamvani momwe akulirira! Taonani momwe Mowabu wachititsidwira manyazi. Mowabu wasanduka chinthu chonyozeka, chinthu chochititsa mantha kwa onse amene amuzungulira.”
How is it overthrown, and they have howled! How hath Moab bowed down the neck, and is confounded! And Moab shall be a derision, and an example to all round about him.
40 Yehova akuti, “Mtundu wina udzachita kuwuluka nʼkugwera pa Mowabu ngati chiwombankhanga chimene chatambalitsa mapiko ake.
Thus saith the Lord: Behold he shall fly as an eagle, and shall stretch forth his wings to Moab.
41 Mizinda idzagwidwa ndipo malinga adzalandidwa. Pa tsiku limenelo mitima ya ankhondo a ku Mowabu idzakhala ngati mtima wa mayi pa nthawi yake yochira.
Carioth is taken, and the strong holds are won: and the heart of the valiant men of Moab in that day shall be as the heart of a woman in labour.
42 Mowabu sudzakhala mtundu wa anthu chifukwa unadzikuza powukira Yehova.
And Moab shall cease to be a people: because he hath gloried against the Lord.
43 Zoopsa, dzenje ndi msampha zikudikira inu anthu a ku Mowabu,” akutero Yehova.
Fear, and the pit, and the snare come upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the Lord.
44 “Aliyense wothawa zoopsa adzagwera mʼdzenje, aliyense wotuluka mʼdzenje adzakodwa mu msampha. Ndigwetsa zimenezi pa Mowabu pa nthawi ya chilango chake,” akutero Yehova.
He that shall flee from the fear, shall fall into the pit: and he that shall get up out of the pit, shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon Moab the year of their visitation, saith the Lord.
45 “Anthu othawa nkhondo ayima pa mthunzi wa Hesiboni chifukwa chotopa. Koma moto wayaka kuchokera ku Hesiboni, malawi a moto abuka kuchokera ku nyumba ya mfumu Sihoni. Motowo ukuwononga mapiri a ku Mowabu, dziko la anthu onyada.
They that fled from the snare stood in the shadow of Hesebon: but there came a fire out of Kesebon, and a flame out of the midst of Seen, and it shall devour part of Moab. and the crown of the head of the children of tumult.
46 Tsoka kwa iwe Mowabu! Anthu opembedza Kemosi awonongeka. Ana ako aamuna ndi aakazi atengedwa ukapolo.
Woe to thee, Moab, thou hast perished, O people of Chamos: for thy sons, and thy daughters are taken captives.
47 “Komabe masiku akutsogolo ndidzabwezeranso Mowabu chuma chake,” akutero Yehova. Chiweruzo cha Mowabu chathera pamenepa.
And I will bring back the captivity of Moab in the last days, saith the Lord. Hitherto the judgments of Moab.
