Jeremias 34
1 Thus said the Lord; Make to yourself bonds and yokes, and put [them] about your neck,
Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni ndi gulu lake lonse lankhondo, pamodzi ndi maufumu onse a pa dziko lapansi amene ankawalamulira ndiponso anthu a mitundu yonse ankathira nkhondo Yerusalemu ndi mizinda yonse yozungulira Yehova anayankhula ndi Yeremiya kuti,
“Yehova, Mulungu wa Israeli akuti: Pita kwa Zedekiya mfumu ya Yuda ndipo ukamuwuze kuti Yehova akuti mzinda uno ndidzawupereka mʼmanja mwa mfumu ya ku Babuloni ndipo adzawutentha ndi moto.
3 and you shall send them to the king of Idumea, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hands of their messengers that come to meet them at Jerusalem to Sedekias king of Juda.
Iweyo sudzapulumuka mʼmanja mwake koma udzagwidwa ndithu ndipo adzakupereka mʼmanja mwake. Udzayiona mfumu ya ku Babuloni maso ndi maso ako ndipo udzayankhula nayo pakamwa ndi pakamwa. Ndipo udzapita ku Babuloni.
4 And you shall commission them to say to their lords, Thus said the Lord God of Israel; Thus shall you say to your lords;
“Koma iwe Zedekiya mfumu ya Yuda, imva lonjezo ili la Yehova. Izi ndi zimene Yehova akunena za iwe: Sudzaphedwa pa nkhondo;
5 I have made the earth by my great power, and with my high arm, and I will give it to whoever it shall seem [good] in mine eyes.
udzafera pa mtendere. Monga anthu ankafukiza lubani poyika maliro a makolo ako akale, amene anali mafumu iwe usanalowe ufumu, choncho nawenso podzayika maliro ako adzafukiza lubani ndipo polira azidzati, ‘Kalanga, mbuye wanga!’ Ine mwini ndalonjeza zimenezi, akutero Yehova.”
6 I gave the earth to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon to serve him, and the wild beasts of the field to labour for him.
Ndipo mneneri Yeremiya anawuza zonsezi Zedekiya mfumu ya Yuda, mu Yerusalemu.
Nthawi imeneyi nʼkuti gulu lankhondo la mfumu ya ku Babuloni likuthira nkhondo Yerusalemu ndi mizinda ina yotsala ya Yuda, Lakisi ndi Azeka. Imeneyi yokha ndiye inali mizinda yotetezedwa yotsala ya ku Yuda.
8 And the nation and kingdom, all that shall not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, with sword and famine will I visit them, says the Lord, until they are consumed by his hand.
Yehova anayankhulanso ndi Yeremiya. Nthawi imeneyi nʼkuti mfumu Zedekiya atachita pangano ndi anthu onse a mu Yerusalemu kuti alengeze zakuti akapolo awo adzawamasule.
9 And listen you not to your false prophets, nor to them that divine to you, nor to them that foretell events by dreams to you, nor to your auguries, nor your sorcerers, that say, You shall by no means work for the king of Babylon:
Aliyense amene anali ndi akapolo a Chihebri, aamuna kapena aakazi awamasule; palibe amene ayenera kusunga mu ukapolo Myuda mnzake.
10 for they prophesy lies to you, to remove you far from your land.
Choncho akuluakulu pamodzi ndi anthu onse amene anachita pangano ili anagwirizana kuti amasule akapolo awo aamuna ndi aakazi ndi kuti asawasungenso mu ukapolo. Iwo anachitadi zimenezi ndipo anawamasuladi.
11 But the nation which shall put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, I will even leave it upon its land, and it shall serve him, and dwell in it.
Koma pambuyo pake anasintha maganizo awo ndi kuwatenganso amuna ndi akazi amene anawamasula aja ndipo anawasandutsanso akapolo.
12 I spoke also to Sedekias king of Juda according to all these words, saying, Put your neck into [the yoke], and serve the king of Babylon.
Tsono Yehova anawuza Yeremiya kuti:
“Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli akuti: Ine ndinachita pangano ndi makolo anu pamene ndinawatulutsa ku Igupto, mʼdziko la ukapolo. Ine ndinati,
14 For they prophesy unrighteous [words] to you,
‘Chaka chachisanu ndi chiwiri chilichonse aliyense wa inu ayenera kumasula mʼbale wake wa Chihebri amene anadzigulitsa yekha kwa inuyo. Iyeyo amasulidwe akagwira ntchito zaka zisanu ndi chimodzi, mumulole apite mwaufulu.’ Komatu makolo anu sanandimvere kapena kusamala konse.
15 for I sent them not, says the Lord; and they prophesy [in] my name unjustly, that I might destroy you, and you should perish, and your prophets, who unrighteously prophesy lies to you.
Posachedwa pomwepa inu munalapa ndi kuchita zinthu zabwino pamaso panga: Aliyense wa inu anamasula mʼbale wake. Ndipo munachita pangano pamaso panga mʼNyumba imene imadziwika ndi dzina langa kuti mudzachitadi zimenezi.
16 I spoke to you, and to all this people, and to the priests, saying, Thus said the Lord; Listen not to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the Lord's house shall return from Babylon: for they prophesy to you unrighteous [words].
Koma tsopano mwasintha maganizo anu ndipo mwayipitsa dzina langa. Mwatenganso ukapolo aamuna ndi aakazi amene munawamasula aja kuti apite kumene akufuna. Mwawakakamiza kuti akhalebe akapolo anu.
17 I sent them not.
“Nʼchifukwa chake Yehova akuti: Inu simunandimvere Ine; simunalengeze kuti abale anu amasulidwe. Chabwino! Ine ndidzakupatsani ufulu; ufulu wake ukhala wophedwa ndi nkhondo, mliri ndi njala. Ndidzakusandutsani chinthu chochititsa mantha pakati pa maufumu onse a dziko lapansi.
18 If they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is in them, let them meet me, for thus has the Lord said.
Inu simunasunge pangano limene munachita ndi Ine. Simunasamale lonjezo limene munachita pamaso panga. Choncho ndidzakusandutsani ngati mwana wangʼombe uja amene ankamudula pawiri napita pakati pa zigawozo.
19 And as for the remaining vessels,
Amene ankadutsa pakati pa zigawozo anali atsogoleri a Yuda ndi Yerusalemu, akuluakulu a bwalo, ansembe ndi anthu onse a mʼdzikomo.
20 which the king of Babylon took not, when he carried Jechonias prisoner out of Jerusalem,
Onsewa ndidzawapereka kwa adani awo amene akufuna kuwapha. Mitembo yawo idzakhala chakudya cha mbalame zamlengalenga ndi zirombo za dziko lapansi.
“Ndidzapereka Zedekiya mfumu ya Yuda ndi nduna zake kwa adani awo amene akufuna kuwapha, kwa gulu lankhondo la mfumu ya ku Babuloni limene nthawi ino layamba kubwerera mʼmbuyo.
22 they shall go into Babylon, says the Lord.
Taonani, Ine ndidzawalamula, akutero Yehova, ndipo ndidzawabweretsanso ku mzinda uno. Adzathira nkhondo mzindawu, kuwulanda ndi kuwutentha. Ndipo Ine ndidzasandutsa chipululu mizinda ya Yuda kotero kuti palibe amene adzakhalemo.”
