Jeremias 7
1 Hear ye the word of the Lord, all Judea.
Mawu amene Yehova anayankhula kwa Yeremiya ndi awa,
“Ima pa chipata cha Nyumba ya Yehova ndipo kumeneko ukalalikire uthenga uwu: “‘Imvani mawu a Yehova, inu nonse anthu a ku Yuda amene mumalowa pa chipata ichi kudzapembedza Yehova.
3 Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Correct your ways and your devices, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli akuti: Konzani makhalidwe anu ndi zochita zanu, ndipo ndidzakulolani kukhala pa malo ano.
4 Trust not in yourselves with lying words, for they shall not profit you at all, saying, It is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.
Musamakhulupirire mawu anu achinyengo onena kuti, ‘Ino ndi Nyumba ya Yehova, Nyumba ya Yehova, Nyumba ya Yehova!’
5 For if ye thoroughly correct your ways and your practices, and do indeed execute judgment between a man and his neighbour;
Ngati mutasinthadi makhalidwe anu ndi zochita zanu, ndi kumachitirana zolungama,
6 and oppress not the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, and go not after strange gods to your hurt:
ngati mutaleka kuzunza mlendo, ana amasiye kapena akazi amasiye ndi kuleka kupha anthu osalakwa pa malo ano, ndipo ngati muleka kutsatira milungu ina, kuti ingakuwonongeni,
7 then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land which I gave to your fathers of old and for ever.
Ine ndidzakulolani kukhala pa malo ano, mʼdziko limene ndinapatsa makolo anu mpaka muyaya.
8 But whereas ye have trusted in lying words, whereby ye shall not be profited;
Koma onani, inu mukudalira mawu abodza amene alibe phindu.
9 and ye murder, and commit adultery, and steal, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and are gone after strange gods whom ye know not,
“Kodi inu muziba ndi kupha, kuchita chigololo ndi kulumbira monama, kufukiza lubani kwa Baala ndi kutsatira milungu ina imene simunayidziwe,
10 so that it is evil with you; yet have ye come, and stood before me in the house, whereon my name is called, and ye have said, We have refrained from doing all these abominations.
ndipo kenaka nʼkubwera kudzayima pamaso panga mʼNyumba ino, Nyumba imene imadziwika ndi Dzina langa, inu nʼkumati, ‘Tapulumuka.’ Mwapulumuka kuti muzichitabe zonyansazi?
11 Is my house, whereon my name is called, a den of robbers in your eyes? And, behold, I have seen [it], saith the Lord.
Kodi Nyumba ino imene imadziwika ndi Dzina langa, yasanduka phanga la anthu olanda zinthu anzawo mwachifwamba inu mukuona? Komatu ndakhala ndi kuziona zonsezi! akutero Yehova.”
12 For go ye to my place with is in Selo, where I caused my name to dwell before, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel.
“‘Pitani tsopano ku malo anga ku Silo, malo amene poyamba ankadziwika ndi Dzina langa, ndipo mukaone zimene ndinachita kumeneko chifukwa cha kuyipa kwa anthu anga Aisraeli.
13 And now, because ye have done all these deeds, and I spoke to you, but ye hearkened not to me; and I called you, but ye answered not;
Tsono popeza munkachita zonsezi, ngakhale Ine kukuyankhulani koma inu osamvera, kukuyitanani koma inu osayankha,
14 therefore I also will do to the house whereon my name is called, wherein ye trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Selo.
choncho ndidzachita pa Nyumba imene imadziwika ndi Dzina langayi, Nyumba ya Yehova imene mumayidalira, malo amene ndinapereka kwa inu ndi makolo anu, zomwe ndinachita ku Silo.
15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I cast away your brethren, all the seed of Ephraim.
Ndidzakuthamangitsani pamaso panga, ngati momwe ndinachitira abale anu onse, anthu a Efereimu.’”
16 Therefore pray not thou for this people, and intercede not for them to be pitied, yea, pray not, and approach me not for them: for I will not hearken [unto thee].
“Choncho iwe Yeremiya usawapempherere anthu awa ngakhale kuwapepesera kapenanso kuwapembedzera; usandidandaulire, chifukwa Ine sindidzakumvera.
17 Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Kodi sukuona zimene akuchita mʼmizinda ya ku Yuda ndi mʼmisewu ya ku Yerusalemu?
18 Their children gather wood, and their fathers kindle a fire, and their women knead dough, to make cakes to the host of heaven; and they have poured out drink-offerings to strange gods, that they might provoke me to anger.
Ana akutorera nkhuni, abambo akusonkha moto, ndipo amayi akukanda ufa kuti aphike makeke oti akapereke nsembe kwa mfumukazi yazakumwamba. Iwo amathira nsembe ya zakumwa kwa milungu ina kuti andipsetse mtima.
19 Do they provoke me to anger? saith the Lord: do they not [provoke] themselves, that their faces may be ashamed?
Koma kodi akuvutitsa Ine? Kodi sakungodzivuta okha, ndi kudzichititsa manyazi? akutero Yehova.”
20 Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, my anger and wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and upon the men, and upon the cattle, and upon every tree of their field, and upon the fruits of the land; and it shall burn, and not be quenched.
“Nʼchifukwa chake Ambuye Yehova akuti: Ndidzatsanulira mkwiyo wanga pa Nyumba yangayi, anthu, nyama, mitengo ndi zipatso zomwe. Mkwiyowo udzakhala ngati moto wosazimitsika.
21 Thus saith the Lord, Gather your whole-burnt-offerings with your meat-offerings, and eat flesh.
“Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli akuti: Wonjezerani nsembe zanu zopsereza pa nsembe zanu zinazo ndipo mudye nyama yakeyo!
22 For I spoke not to your fathers, and commanded them not in the day wherein I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, concerning whole-burnt-offerings and sacrifice:
Pakuti pamene ndinatulutsa makolo anu ku Igupto ndi kuyankhula nawo, sindinawalamulire kuti azipereka nsembe zopsereza kapena nsembe zinazo,
23 but I commanded them this thing, saying, Hear ye my voice, and I will be to you a God, and ye shall be to me a people: and walk ye in all my ways which I shall command you, that it may be well with you.
koma ndinawalamula kuti: Mverani Ine, ndipo ndidzakhala Mulungu wanu ndipo inu mudzakhala anthu anga. Muzitsata zonse zimene ndakulamulirani, ndipo zinthu zidzakuyenderani bwino.
24 But they hearkened not to me, and their ear gave no heed, but they walked in the imaginations of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward;
Koma anthuwo sanamvere kapena kulabadira; mʼmalo mwake anapitirira kusamvera ndi mitima yawo yoyipa. Iwo anabwerera mʼmbuyo mʼmalo mopita patsogolo.
25 from the day that their fathers went forth out of the land of Egypt, even until this day. And I sent to you all my servants, the prophets, by day and early in the morning: yea, I sent [them],
Kuyambira tsiku limene makolo awo anachoka ku Igupto mpaka lero lino, ndakhala ndikuwatumizira atumiki anga, aneneri.
26 but they hearkened not to me, and their ear gave no heed; and they made their neck harder than their fathers.
Koma anthuwo sanandimvere kapena kusamalira. Anawumitsa mitima yawo ndi kuchita zoyipa kuposa makolo awo.
27 Therefore thou shalt speak this word to them;
“Ngakhale iwe uwawuze zonsezi koma sadzakumvera. Ngakhale uwayitane koma sadzakuyankha.
28 This is the nation which has not hearkened to the voice of the Lord, nor received correction: truth has failed from their mouth.
Nʼchifukwa chake udzawawuze kuti, ‘Uwu ndi mtundu wa anthu umene sunamvere Yehova Mulungu wake, wosalola kulangizidwa. Choonadi chatha; chazimirira pa milomo yawo.’
29 Cut off thine hair, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on thy lips; for the Lord has reprobated and rejected the generation that does these things.
“Tsono meta tsitsi lako ndi kulitaya. Ulire kwambiri pa zitunda zopanda zomera, pakuti Yehova waukana ndi kuwusiya mʼbado umene wamukwiyitsawu.”
30 For the children of Juda have wrought evil before me, saith the Lord; they have set their abominations in the house on which my name is called, to defile it.
“Anthu a ku Yuda achita zoyipa pamaso panga, akutero Yehova. Ayimika mafano awo onyansa mʼnyumba imene imadziwika ndi Dzina langa ndipo ayipitsa.
31 And they have built the altar of Tapheth, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, to burn their sons and their daughters with fire; which I did not command them [to do], neither did I design it in my heart.
Amanga nsanja yopembedzera Tofeti mʼChigwa cha Hinomu kuti apserezereko ana awo aamuna ndi aakazi. Zimenezi Ine sindinawalamulire ngakhale kuziganizira nʼkomwe.
32 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when they shall no more say, The altar of Tapheth, and the valley of the son of Ennom, but, The valley of the slain; and they shall bury in Tapheth, for want of room.
Nʼchifukwa chake masiku akubwera, akutero Yehova, pamene anthu sadzawatchulanso malowo Tofeti kapena Chigwa cha Hinomu, koma adzawatchula Chigwa cha Imfa, chifukwa adzakwirira anthu akufa ku Tofeti mpaka osapezekanso malo owayika.
33 And the dead bodies of this people shall be for food to the birds of the sky, and to the wild beasts of the earth; and there shall be none to drive [them] away.
Ndipo mitembo ya anthu amenewa idzakhala chakudya cha mbalame zamlengalenga ndi zirombo zakuthengo, ndipo palibe wina amene adzazipirikitse.
34 And I will destroy out of the cities of Juda, and the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of them that make merry, and the voice of them that rejoice, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride; for the whole land shall become a desolation.
Ndidzathetsa nyimbo zonse zachisangalalo ndi zachikondwerero mʼmizinda ya ku Yuda ndi mʼmisewu ya ku Yerusalemu. Sikudzamvekanso mawu a chikondwerero a mkwatibwi ndi mkwati pakuti dzikolo lidzasanduka chipululu.”
