< Jeremiah 43 >
1 When Jeremiah had finished telling all the people all the words of the LORD their God—everything that the LORD had sent him to say—
Yeremiya atatsiriza kuwawuza anthuwo mawu onse a Yehova Mulungu wawo, amene Yehova anamutuma kuti akawawuze,
2 Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and all the arrogant men said to Jeremiah, “You are lying! The LORD our God has not sent you to say, ‘You must not go to Egypt to reside there.’
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.’
3 Rather, Baruch son of Neriah is inciting you against us to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, so that they may put us to death or exile us to Babylon!”
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.”
4 So Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces disobeyed the command of the LORD to stay in the land of Judah.
Motero Yohanani mwana wa Kareya ndi atsogoleri onse a ankhondo pamodzi ndi anthu onse sanamvere lamulo la Yehova loti akhale mʼdziko la Yuda.
5 Instead, Johanan son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces took the whole remnant of Judah, those who had returned to the land of Judah from all the nations to which they had been scattered,
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.
6 the men, the women, the children, the king’s daughters, and everyone whom Nebuzaradan captain of the guard had allowed to remain with Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, as well as Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch son of Neriah.
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.
7 So they entered the land of Egypt because they did not obey the voice of the LORD, and they went as far as Tahpanhes.
Kotero anthuwo analowa mʼdziko la Igupto chifukwa anakana kumvera Yehova, nakafika ku Tapanesi.
8 Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah at Tahpanhes:
Ndipo Yehova anayankhula ndi Yeremiya ku Tapanesi kuti,
9 “In the sight of the Jews, pick up some large stones and bury them in the clay of the brick pavement at the entrance to Pharaoh’s palace at Tahpanhes.
“Tenga miyala inayi yayikulu ndipo uyikwirire mʼdothi pa chiwundo cha polowera ku nyumba yaufumu ya Farao ku Tapanesi. Uchite zimenezi Ayuda onse akuona.
10 Then tell them that this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I will send for My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and I will set his throne over these stones that I have embedded, and he will spread his royal pavilion over them.
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.
11 He will come and strike down the land of Egypt, bringing death to those destined for death, captivity to those destined for captivity, and the sword to those destined for the sword.
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.
12 I will kindle a fire in the temples of the gods of Egypt, and Nebuchadnezzar will burn those temples and take their gods as captives. So he will wrap himself with the land of Egypt as a shepherd wraps himself in his garment, and he will depart from there unscathed.
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.
13 He will demolish the sacred pillars of the temple of the sun in the land of Egypt, and he will burn down the temples of the gods of Egypt.’”
Ku Iguptoko adzagwetsa zipilala zachipembedzo za ku nyumba yopembedzera mulungu wa dzuwa. Adzatentha ndi moto nyumba za milungu ya ku Igupto.’”
