Yeremiya 49
1 Yehova ananena izi: Amoni, “Kodi Israeli alibe ana aamuna? Kapena alibe mlowamʼmalo? Tsono nʼchifukwa chiyani anthu opembedza Moleki alanda dziko la Gadi? Nʼchifukwa chiyani anthu ake akukhala mʼmizinda ya Gadi?
Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the LORD; Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why [then] doth their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities?
2 Koma nthawi ikubwera,” akutero Yehova, “pamene ndidzamveketse mfuwu wankhondo ku Raba, likulu la Amoni; ndipo malo awo opembedzera milungu yawo adzatenthedwa ndi moto. Choncho Aisraeli adzalandanso dziko lawo kuchokera kwa amene anawalanda poyamba dzikolo,” akutero Yehova.
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will cause an alarm of war to be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel be heir unto them that were his heirs, saith the LORD.
3 “Lirani, inu anthu a ku Hesiboni chifukwa wowononga uja wafika! Fuwulani, inu anthu okhala ku Raba! Valani ziguduli ndi kulira mwamphamvu; thamangani uku ndi uku mʼkati mwa malinga, chifukwa mulungu wanu Moleki adzapita ku ukapolo, pamodzi ndi ansembe ake ndiponso akuluakulu ake.
Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled: cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you with sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro by the hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, [and] his priests and his princes together.
4 Chifukwa chiyani mukunyadira chigwa chanu, inu anthu osakhulupirika amene munadalira chuma chanu nʼkumati: ‘Ndani angandithire nkhondo?’
Wherefore gloriest thou in the valleys, thy flowing valley, O backsliding daughter? that trusted in her treasures, [saying], Who shall come unto me?
5 Ndidzabweretsa zoopsa pa iwe zochokera kwa onse amene akuzungulira,” akutero Ambuye, Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse. “Mudzathawa, ndipo aliyense adzathawitsa moyo wake. Sipadzapezeka munthu wosonkhanitsanso othawawo.
Behold, I will bring a fear upon thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts, from all those that be about thee; and ye shall be driven out every man right forth; and none shall gather up him that wandereth.
6 “Komabe pambuyo pake, ndidzabwezera kwawo Aamoni,” akutero Yehova.
And afterward I will bring again the captivity of the children of Ammon, saith the LORD.
7 Yehova Wamphamvuzonse ananena izi za Edomu: “Kodi nzeru sizikupezekanso ku Temani? Kodi anzeru analeka kupereka uphungu? Kodi nzeru zawo zinatheratu?
Concerning Edom, thus saith the LORD of hosts; [Is] wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?
8 Inu anthu a ku Dedani, thawani, bwererani ndi kukabisala ku makwalala chifukwa ndidzagwetsa mavuto pa zidzukulu za Esau popeza nthawi yawo ya chiweruzo yafika.
Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time [that] I will visit him.
9 Kodi anthu othyola mphesa akanafika kwa inu akanakusiyiraniko mphesa pangʼono pokha? Anthu akuba akanafika usiku akanangotengako zimene akuzifuna zokha?
If grapegatherers come to thee, would they not leave [some] gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough.
10 Koma ine ndazivula zidzukulu za Esau. Ndaonetsa poyera malo awo obisalamo, kotero kuti sadzathanso kubisala. Ana ake, abale ake pamodzi ndi anansi ake awonongeka. Palibe wonena kuti,
But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he [is] not.
11 ‘Siyani ana anu amasiye; Ine ndidzawateteza. Amayi anu amasiye akhoza kudalira Ine.’”
Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve [them] alive; and let thy widows trust in me.
12 Yehova akuti, “Ngati iwo amene sanali oyenera kulangidwa adzamwa chikho cha chiweruzo, ndiye muyesa kuti inuyo simudzalangidwa? Ayi ndithu simudzakhala osalangidwa. Mudzamwa ndithu chikhocho.
For thus saith the LORD; Behold, they whose judgment [was] not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken; and [art] thou he [that] shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink [of it].
13 Ine ndikulumbira, akutero Yehova, kuti mzinda wa Bozira udzasanduka bwinja, chinthu chochititsa mantha, chomachiseka ndiponso chotembereredwa. Mizinda yake yonse idzakhala mabwinja mpaka muyaya.”
For I have sworn by myself, saith the LORD, that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.
14 Ndamva uthenga wochokera kwa Yehova: Nthumwi yatumidwa kupita kwa anthu a mitundu ina kukanena kuti, “Sonkhanani pamodzi kuti muthire nkhondo Edomu! Konzekerani nkhondo!”
I have heard a rumour from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent unto the heathen, [saying], Gather ye together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.
15 “Ndidzakuchepetsani pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina. Mudzakhala anthu onyozeka pakati pa anthu.
For, lo, I will make thee small among the heathen, [and] despised among men.
16 Kuopseza kwako kwakunyenga; kudzikuza kwa mtima wako kwakusocheretsa, iwe amene umakhala mʼmapanga a mʼmatanthwe ndi mʼmapiri. Ngakhale utamanga chisa chako pamwamba kwambiri ngati chiwombankhanga, ndidzakutsitsa pansi kuchokera kumeneko,” akutero Yehova.
Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, [and] the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the LORD.
17 “Dziko la Edomu lidzasanduka chinthu chochititsa mantha. Onse odutsamo adzadabwa ndi kupukusa mitu yawo chifukwa cha kuwonongeka kwake.
Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof.
18 Monga momwe anawonongekera Sodomu ndi Gomora, pamodzi ndi mizinda yake yozungulira,” akutero Yehova, “motero palibe munthu amene adzakhala mu Edomu.
As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour [cities] thereof, saith the LORD, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it.
19 “Monga mkango wotuluka ku nkhalango za ku Yorodani kupita ku malo a msipu wobiriwira, Ine ndidzapirikitsa anthu a ku Edomu mwadzidzidzi kuchoka mʼdziko lawo. Pambuyo pake ndidzawayikira owalamulira amene ndamufuna Ine. Kodi ndani wofanana nane, ndipo angatsutsane nane ndani? Ndipo ndi mʼbusa uti amene angalimbane nane?”
Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who [is] a chosen [man, that] I may appoint over her? for who [is] like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who [is] that shepherd that will stand before me?
20 Nʼchifukwa chake imvani. Izi ndi zimene Ine Yehova ndakonza zolangira anthu a ku Edomu ndi a ku Temani. Ngakhale ana omwe adzatengedwa ukapolo ndipo aliyense adzachita mantha chifukwa cha iwo.
Therefore hear the counsel of the LORD, that he hath taken against Edom; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the inhabitants of Teman: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitations desolate with them.
21 Akadzagwa Edomu padzakhala mfuwu waukulu ndipo dziko lapansi lidzanjenjemera; kulira kwawo kudzamveka mpaka ku Nyanja Yofiira.
The earth is moved at the noise of their fall, at the cry the noise thereof was heard in the Red sea.
22 Taonani, mtundu wina udzachita kuwuluka nʼkudzatera pa Bozira ngati chiwombankhanga chimene chatambalitsa mapiko ake. Pa tsiku limenelo mitima ya ankhondo a ku Edomu idzagunda ngati mtima wa mayi pa nthawi yake yochira.
Behold, he shall come up and fly as the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah: and at that day shall the heart of the mighty men of Edom be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
23 Mawu a Yehova onena za Damasiko ndi awa: “Anthu a ku Hamati ndi a ku Aripadi akuchita mantha chifukwa amva nkhani yoyipa. Mitima yawo yagwidwa ndi mantha ndipo ali ngati muja ichitira nyanja yosakhazikika.
Concerning Damascus. Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; [there is] sorrow on the sea; it cannot be quiet.
24 Anthu a ku Damasiko alefuka. Abwerera mʼmbuyo kufuna kuthawa chifukwa agwidwa ndi mantha aakulu. Ali ndi nkhawa komanso mantha ngati za mayi pa nthawi yake yochira.
Damascus is waxed feeble, [and] turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on [her: ] anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.
25 Mzinda wotchuka ndi wachikondwerero uja wasiyidwa!
How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!
26 Nʼchifukwa chake anyamata ake adzagwa mʼmisewu ndi kufa; ankhondo ake onse adzawonongedwa tsiku limenelo,” akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD of hosts.
27 “Ndidzatentha malinga a Damasiko; moto udzanyeketsa nyumba zaufumu za Beni-Hadadi.”
And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Ben-hadad.
28 Mawu a Yehova onena za Kedara ndi maufumu a ku Hazori, amene Nebukadinezara mfumu ya Babuloni anawagonjetsa ndi awa: “Nyamukani mukathire nkhondo ku Kedara. Kawonongeni anthu a kummawako.
Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon shall smite, thus saith the LORD; Arise ye, go up to Kedar, and spoil the men of the east.
29 Landani matenti awo ndi nkhosa zawo, ndiye kuti, mutenge nsalu zawo ndi katundu wawo. Mutengenso ngamira zawo. Anthu adzafuwula kwa iwo kuti, ‘Kuli zoopsa mbali zonse!’
Their tents and their flocks shall they take away: they shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their vessels, and their camels; and they shall cry unto them, Fear [is] on every side.
30 “Thawani mofulumira! Kabisaleni mʼmakhwawa, inu anthu ku Hazori,” akutero Yehova. “Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni wakukonzerani chiwembu; wakonzekera zoti alimbane nanu.
Flee, get you far off, dwell deep, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith the LORD; for Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath taken counsel against you, and hath conceived a purpose against you.
31 “Nyamukani kathireni nkhondo mtundu wa anthu umene uli pamtendere, umene ukukhala mosatekeseka,” akutero Yehova, “mzindawo ulibe zipata ngakhalenso mipiringidzo; anthu ake amakhala pa okha.
Arise, get you up unto the wealthy nation, that dwelleth without care, saith the LORD, which have neither gates nor bars, [which] dwell alone.
32 Ngamira zawo zidzafunkhidwa, ndipo makola a ngʼombe zawo adzalandidwa. Ndidzabalalitsira ku mphepo zinayi onse amene amameta tsitsi lawo chamʼmbali. Ndidzawagwetsera mavuto kuchokera ku mbali zonse,” akutero Yehova.
And their camels shall be a booty, and the multitude of their cattle a spoil: and I will scatter into all winds them [that are] in the utmost corners; and I will bring their calamity from all sides thereof, saith the LORD.
33 “Hazori adzasanduka bwinja, malo okhalamo nkhandwe mpaka muyaya. Palibe munthu amene adzayendemo.”
And Hazor shall be a dwelling for dragons, [and] a desolation for ever: there shall no man abide there, nor [any] son of man dwell in it.
34 Uthenga umene Yehova anapatsa mneneri Yeremiya wonena za Elamu, Zedekiya mfumu ya Yuda atangoyamba kulamulira ndi uwu:
The word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying,
35 Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, “Taonani, ndidzathyola uta wa Elamu, umene uli chida chawo champhamvu.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Behold, I will break the bow of Elam, the chief of their might.
36 Ndidzabweretsa mphepo zinayi pa Elamu kuchokera ku zigawo zinayi zamlengalenga; ndidzawabalalitsira ku mphepo zinayi, ndipo sipadzakhala dziko limene anthu a ku Elamu sadzafikako.
And upon Elam will I bring the four winds from the four quarters of heaven, and will scatter them toward all those winds; and there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
37 A ku Elamuwo ndidzachititsa mantha pamaso pa adani awo komanso pamaso pa iwo amene akufuna kuwononga moyo wawo. Ndidzawagwetsera mkwiyo wanga ndipo adzakhala pa mavuto,” akutero Yehova. “Ndidzawapirikitsa ndi lupanga mpaka nditawatheratu.
For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, and before them that seek their life: and I will bring evil upon them, [even] my fierce anger, saith the LORD; and I will send the sword after them, till I have consumed them:
38 Ndidzakhazika mpando wanga waufumu ku Elamu ndipo ndidzawononga mfumu yake pamodzi ndi akuluakulu ake,” akutero Yehova.
And I will set my throne in Elam, and will destroy from thence the king and the princes, saith the LORD.
39 “Komabe mʼtsogolomo ndidzabwezera anthu a ku Elamu dziko lawo,” akutero Yehova.
But it shall come to pass in the latter days, [that] I will bring again the captivity of Elam, saith the LORD.
