Jeremiah 33
1 A second message came from the Lord to Jeremiah while he was still being held in the guard's courtyard of the guard.
Yeremiya akanali mʼndende mʼbwalo la alonda, Yehova anayankhula nayenso kachiwiri nati:
2 This is what the Lord says, the Lord who made the earth, the Lord who shaped it and set it in place, the Lord is his name:
“Yehova amene analenga dziko lapansi, kuliwumba ndi kulikhazikitsa; amene dzina lake ndi Yehova, akuti,
3 Call out to me, and I will answer you, explaining to you amazing, hidden things about which you don't have any idea.
‘Unditame mopemba ndipo ndidzakuyankha. Ndidzakuwuza zinsinsi zazikulu zimene suzidziwa.’
4 For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says about Jerusalem's houses and the palaces of the kings of Judah that were demolished for materials to be used to defend against the siege ramps and the enemy attacks.
Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli akunenapo pa za nyumba za mu mzinda muno ndiponso pa za nyumba za mafumu a Yuda. Zidzagwetsedwa, ndipo palibe chifukwa cholimbana ndi mitumbira ya nkhondo ya Ababuloni.
5 They come to fight the Babylonians but will only fill those houses with the dead bodies of those I'm going to kill in my furious anger. I have given up on this city because of all its wickedness.
Ababuloni akubwera kudzawuthira nkhondo mzindawu ndipo nyumba zake zidzadzaza ndi mitembo ya anthu amene ndidzawapha mokwiya ndi mwaukali. Ndawufulatira mzinda uno chifukwa cha zoyipa zake zonse.
6 But even so, in the future I will restore and repair it, and I will heal its people and give them lasting peace and safety.
“‘Pambuyo pake mzindawu ndidzawupatsanso moyo ndi kuwuchiritsa; ndidzachiritsa anthu anga ndi kuwapatsa chitetezo ndi mtendere weniweni.
7 I will bring Judah and Israel back from exile and will make them as strong as before.
Ndidzawakhazikanso Ayuda ndi Aisraeli ku dziko lawo, ndipo ndidzawabwezera monga mmene analili poyamba.
8 I will wash away all their sins that they committed against me, and I will forgive all their guilt from when they sinned in rebelling against me.
Ndidzawayeretsa pochotsa zoyipa zonse zimene anandichitira, ndiponso ndidzawakhululukira machimo onse amene anachita pondiwukira.
9 Then this city will bring me a glorious reputation, celebrated and praised by all the nations of the earth who get to hear of all the good things I do for it. They will tremble, amazed at how much good I have done for it, how I have made it so prosperous.
Mzinda wa Yerusalemu udzandipatsa chimwemwe, chiyamiko ndi ulemerero. Anthu a mitundu yonse adzanditamanda akadzamva za zabwino zonse zimene ndawuchitira mzindawu. Iwo adzachita mantha ndi kunjenjemera poona madalitso ochuluka ndi mtendere zimene ndapereka kwa mzinda umenewu.’
10 This is what the Lord says: You call this place “a wasteland where there's no people or animals.” Well, here in the towns of Judah and in the empty streets of Jerusalem where no people or animals live, one day
“Yehova akuti, ‘Inu mumanena za malo ano kuti ndi bwinja,’ malo opandamo anthu kapena nyama. Komatu mizinda ya Yuda ndi mʼmisewu ya mu Yerusalemu mʼmene tsopano muli zii mudzamvekanso
11 the sounds of joy and celebration will be heard there again, the happy voices of bride and bridegroom, and the shouts of praise of those bringing thank offerings to the Lord's Temple, saying: “Thank the Lord Almighty! For the Lord is good; his trustworthy love lasts endures forever.” For I will bring the land back from its “captivity” too, says the Lord.
mfuwu wachimwemwe ndi mawu achisangalalo, mawu a mkwatibwi ndi mkwati. Mʼnyumba ya Mulungu mudzamvekanso nyimbo za anthu amene akudzapereka nsembe zothokoza Yehova. Azidzati, “Yamikani Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, popeza Iye ndi wabwino; pakuti chifundo chake nʼchamuyaya.” Pakuti ndidzabwezeretsa zinthu zabwino za dziko lino monga zinalili poyamba, akutero Yehova.
12 This is what the Lord Almighty says: In this wasteland where there's no people or animals, and in all its towns, once again there'll be pastures where shepherds can take their flocks.
“Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, ‘Malo ano, a chipululu ndi wopanda anthu kapena nyama, mʼmizinda yake yonse mudzakhala msipu umene abusa adzadyetserako nkhosa zawo.
13 In all the towns, whether in the hill country, or the foothills, or the Negev, or the land of Benjamin or the towns around Jerusalem, or throughout the cities of Judah, flocks will once again be counted by their shepherds, says the Lord.
Ku mizinda ya kumapiri, ya kuchigwa, ya ku Negevi, ya ku dera la Benjamini, ku dziko lozungulira Yerusalemu, ndi ku mizinda ya Yuda, nkhosa zidzadutsanso pamaso pa munthu woziwerenga,’ akutero Yehova.
14 Look! The time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will keep my promise to do good to the people of Israel and Judah.
“‘Taonani masiku akubwera,’ akutero Yehova, ‘pamene ndidzachitadi zokoma zimene ndinalonjeza Aisraeli ndi nyumba ya Yuda.
15 At that time, right there and then, I will give you a good king from the line of David. He will do what is just and right throughout the country.
“‘Mʼmasiku amenewo ndi pa nthawi imeneyo ndidzaphukitsa Nthambi yolungama kuchokera ku banja la Davide; munthuyo adzachita zolungama ndi zabwino mʼdziko.
16 This is when Judah will be saved, and the people of Jerusalem will live in safety. This is the name he will be called: The Lord Who Makes Us Right.
Mʼmasiku amenewo Yuda adzapulumuka ndipo Yerusalemu adzakhala mwamtendere. Dzina limene mzindawu udzadziwike nalo ndi ili: Yehova Chilungamo Chathu.’
17 This is what the Lord says: David will always have a descendant who will be king of Israel,
Yehova akunena kuti, ‘Davide sadzasowa mdzukulu wolowa mʼmalo mwake pa mpando waufumu wa Israeli,
18 and the Levitical priests will always have a descendant to present burnt offerings, grain offerings, and sacrifices to me.
ngakhale ansembe, amene ndi Alevi, sadzasowanso munthu woyima pamaso panga nthawi zonse wopereka nsembe zopsereza, nsembe zaufa ndi nsembe zina.’”
19 A message from the Lord came to Jeremiah:
Yehova anawuza Yeremiya kuti:
20 This is what the Lord says: If you were able to break my agreement with the day and with the night, so that they wouldn't come at the right time,
Mawu anga ndi awa. Ine ndinachita pangano ndi usana ndi usiku kuti zizibwera pa nthawi yake. Pangano limeneli inu simungaliphwanye.
21 only then would my agreement be broken with David my servant and with the Levites who serve as my priests, so that David would not have a descendant to rule on his throne.
Ndinachitanso pangano ndi Davide, mtumiki wanga kuti nthawi zonse adzakhala ndi mdzukulu wodzakhala pa mpando wake waufumu. Ndinachitanso pangano ndi Alevi kuti iwonso adzanditumikira nthawi zonse. Mapangano amenewa sadzaphwanyidwa nthawi zonse.
22 In the same way that the stars of heaven can't be counted, and the sand on the seashore can't be measured, that's how many times I will multiply the number of my servant David's descendants and the Levites who serve me.
Ndidzachulukitsa ngati nyenyezi zamlengalenga ndiponso ngati mchenga wa mʼmbali mwa nyanja zidzukulu za mtumiki wanga Davide ndiponso za Alevi amene amanditumikira Ine.
23 Another message from the Lord came to Jeremiah:
Yehova anafunsa Yeremiya kuti,
24 Have you heard what people are saying: “The Lord chose two families, but now he's rejected them”? So they look down on my people and don't consider them worthy of being called a nation.
“Kodi sunamve mmene anthu ena akumanenera kuti, ‘Yehova wakana maufumu awiriwa amene Iye anawasankha.’ Kotero anthuwo akunyoza anthu anga ndipo sakuwayesanso mtundu wa anthu.
25 This is what the Lord says: Just as I can't break my agreement with the day and the night and the laws that regulate heaven and earth,
‘Koma Ine Yehova ndinachita pangano ndi usana ndi usiku. Ndinakhazikitsanso malamulo oyendetsa dziko lakumwamba ndi dziko lapansi,
26 so I can't reject the descendants of Jacob and of my servant David, and I can't fail to make his descendants rulers over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will bring them back from exile and I will be kind to them.
monga ndachita zimenezi motsimikiza, choncho ndidzasunga pangano limene ndinachita ndi zidzukulu za Yakobo ndi Davide mtumiki wanga. Ndidzasankha mmodzi mwa ana a Davide kuti alamulire zidzukulu za Abrahamu, Isake ndi Yakobo. Komatu ndidzawamvera chifundo ndi kuwakhazikanso pabwino.’”
