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 Nebo! for it is laid waste: Kiriathaim is confounded [and] taken: Misgab is confounded and dismayed.
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 shall be] no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon they have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from [being] a nation. Also thou shalt be cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue thee.
3 Tamvani mfuwu wa anthu a ku Horonaimu. Iwo akulira kuti, ‘Kusakazika ndi kuwonongeka kwakukulu.’
A voice of crying [shall be] from Horonaim, devastation and great destruction.
4 Mowabu wawonongeka; ana ake angʼonoangʼono akulira kwambiri.
Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.
5 Anthu akukwera chikweza cha ku Luhiti, akulira kwambiri pamene akupita. Kulira chifukwa cha chiwonongeko kukumveka pa njira yotsikira ku Horonaimu.
For in the ascent of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the descent of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.
6 Thawani! Dzipulumutseni; khalani ngati mbidzi ya mʼchipululu.
Flee, save your lives, and be like the 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 works and in thy treasures, thou also shalt be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity [with] 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: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD hath spoken.
9 Mtsineni khutu Mowabu chifukwa adzasakazika; mizinda yake idzasanduka mabwinja, wopanda munthu wokhalamo.
Give wings to Moab, that it may flee and get away: for its cities shall be desolate, without any to dwell in them.
10 “Wotembereredwa munthu amene amagwira ntchito ya Yehova monyinyirika! Wotembereredwa munthu amene amaletsa lupanga lake kupha anthu!
Cursed [be] he that doeth the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed [be] he that keepeth back 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 at ease from his youth, and he hath settled on his lees, and hath not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither hath he gone into captivity: therefore his taste 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, that I will send to him wanderers that shall cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles.
13 Pamenepo Mowabu adzachita manyazi ndi Kemosi, monga momwe Aisraeli anachitira manyazi ndi Beteli amene ankamukhutulira.
And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Beth-el their confidence.
14 “Kodi munganene bwanji kuti, ‘Ife ndife asilikali. Ife ndife ngwazi, anthu amphamvu pa nkhondo?’
How say ye, We [are] mighty and strong men for the war?
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 gone up [out of] her cities, and his chosen 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 calamity of Moab [is] near to come, and his affliction hasteth fast.
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!”
All ye that are about him bemoan him; and all ye that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, [and] 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.
Thou daughter that dost inhabit Dibon, come down from [thy] glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall come upon thee, [and] he shall destroy thy strong holds.
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?’”
O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him that fleeth, and her that escapeth, [and] say, 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; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell ye it in Arnon, that Moab is laid waste.
21 Chiweruzo chabwera ku mizinda ya ku mapiri, ndiyo Holoni, Yaza, Mefaati,
And judgment is come upon the plain country; upon Holon, and upon Jahazah, and upon Mephaath,
22 Diboni, Nebo, Beti-Dibilataimu,
And upon Dibon, and upon Nebo, and upon Beth-diblathaim,
23 Kiriyataimu, Beti-Gamuli, Beti-Meoni,
And upon Kiriathaim, and upon Beth-gamul, and upon Beth-meon,
24 Keriyoti ndi Bozira ndi mizinda yonse ya Mowabu, yakutali ndi yapafupi yomwe.
And upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, 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 ye him drunken; for he magnified [himself] against the LORD: Moab also shall wallow in his 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 was not Israel a derision to thee? was he found among thieves? for since thou hast spoken of him, thou hast leaped for joy.
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.
O ye that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove [that] maketh her nest in the sides of the hole's mouth.
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 loftiness, and his arrogance, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.
30 Ine ndikuzidziwa ntchito zake, akutero Yehova. Ntchitozo ndi nʼzosapindulitsa kanthu.
I know his wrath, saith the LORD; but [it shall] not [be] so; his lies shall not so effect [it].
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 howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; [my heart] shall mourn for the men of Kirheres.
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 vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee with the weeping of Jazer: thy plants have gone over the sea, they reach [even] to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler hath fallen upon thy summer fruits and upon 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.
And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from the wine-presses: none shall tread with shouting; [their] shouting [shall be] no shouting.
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 Heshbon [even] to Elealeh, [and even] to Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar [even] to Horonaim, [as] a heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate.
35 Ndidzawaletsa anthu a ku Mowabu kupereka nsembe mʼmalo awo opembedzera ndi kufukiza lubani kwa milungu yawo,” akutero Yehova.
Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, saith the LORD, him that offereth in the high places, and him that burneth incense 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 shall sound like pipes for the men of Kirheres: because the riches [that] he hath gotten 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 clipped: upon all the hands [shall be] cuttings, and upon the loins sackcloth.
38 Pa madenga onse a ku Mowabu ndiponso mʼmisewu yake anthu akungolira, pakuti ndaphwanya Mowabu ngati mtsuko wopanda ntchito,” akutero Yehova.
[There shall be] lamentation generally upon all the house-tops of Moab, and in its streets: for I have broken Moab like a vessel in which [is] no pleasure, 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.”
They shall howl, [saying], How is it broken down! how hath Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him.
40 Yehova akuti, “Mtundu wina udzachita kuwuluka nʼkugwera pa Mowabu ngati chiwombankhanga chimene chatambalitsa mapiko ake.
For thus saith the LORD; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over 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.
Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men's hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
42 Mowabu sudzakhala mtundu wa anthu chifukwa unadzikuza powukira Yehova.
And Moab shall be destroyed from [being] a people, because he hath magnified [himself] against the LORD.
43 Zoopsa, dzenje ndi msampha zikudikira inu anthu a ku Mowabu,” akutero Yehova.
Fear, and the pit, and the snare, [shall be] 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 fleeth from the fear, shall fall into the pit; and he that getteth out of the pit, shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring upon it, [even] 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 stood under the shade of Heshbon because of the force: but a fire shall come out of Heshbon, and a flame from the midst of Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.
46 Tsoka kwa iwe Mowabu! Anthu opembedza Kemosi awonongeka. Ana ako aamuna ndi aakazi atengedwa ukapolo.
Woe be to thee, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perisheth: for thy sons are taken captives, and thy daughters captives.
47 “Komabe masiku akutsogolo ndidzabwezeranso Mowabu chuma chake,” akutero Yehova. Chiweruzo cha Mowabu chathera pamenepa.
Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, saith the LORD. Thus far [is] the judgment of Moab.
