< Jeremiah 20 >
1 When Pashur, the sonne of Immer, the Priest, which was appointed gouernour in the house of the Lord, heard that Ieremiah prophecied these things,
Wansembe Pasuri mwana wa Imeri, woyangʼanira wamkulu wa Nyumba ya Yehova, anamva Yeremiya akulosera zinthu zimenezi.
2 Then Pashur smote Ieremiah the Prophet, and put him in the stockes that were in the hie gate of Beniamin which was by the House of the Lord.
Tsono iye analamula kuti mneneri Yeremiyayo amenyedwe ndi kuyikidwa mʼndende pa Chipata chakumtunda kwa Benjamini ku Nyumba ya Yehova.
3 And on the morning, Pashur brought Ieremiah out of the stockes. Then said Ieremiah vnto him, The Lord hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magor-missabib.
Mmawa mwake, Pasuri anatulutsa Yeremiya mʼndende, ndipo Yeremiyayo anamuwuza kuti, “Pasuri, Yehova sadzakutchulanso dzina lako kuti Pasuri koma Zoopsa pa Mbali Zonse.
4 For thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will make thee to be a terrour to thy self, and to al thy friends, and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall beholde it, and I will giue all Iudah into the hande of the King of Babel, and he shall cary them captiue into Babel, and shall slay them with the sworde.
Pakuti Yehova akuti, ‘Ndidzakusandutsa choopsa kwa mwiniwakewe ndi kwa abwenzi ako onse; iweyo ukuona. Anthu a ku Yuda ndidzawapereka onse mʼmanja mwa mfumu ya ku Babuloni. Ena adzatengedwa ukapolo ku Babuloni ndipo ena adzaphedwa pa nkhondo.
5 Moreouer, I will deliuer all the substance of this citie, and all the labours thereof, and al the precious things thereof, and all the treasures of the Kings of Iudah will I giue into the hande of their enemies, which shall spoyle them, and take them away and cary them to Babel.
Ndidzapereka kwa adani awo chuma chonse cha mu mzinda uno, phindu lonse la ntchito yake, zinthu zake zonse za mtengowapatali ndiponso katundu yense wa mafumu a ku Yuda. Iwo adzazitenga monga zinthu zolanda ku nkhondo ndi kupita nazo ku Babuloni.
6 And thou Pashur, and all that dwell in thine house, shall go into captiuitie, and thou shalt come to Babel, and there thou shalt die, and shalt be buryed there, thou and all thy friendes, to whome thou hast prophecied lyes.
Ndipo iwe, Pasuri, pamodzi ndi onse a pa banja pako mudzapita ku ukapolo ku Babuloni. Mudzafera kumeneko ndi kuyikidwa mʼmanda, iweyo pamodzi ndi abwenzi ako amene unawalosera zabodza.’”
7 O Lord, thou hast deceiued me, and I am deceiued: thou art stronger then I, and hast preuailed: I am in derision daily: euery one mocketh me.
Inu Yehova, mwandinamiza, ndipo ndinapusadi; Inu ndi wamphamvu kuposa ine ndipo munandipambana. Anthu akundinyoza tsiku lonse. Aliyense akundiseka kosalekeza.
8 For since I spake, I cryed out of wrong, and proclaimed desolation: therefore the word of the Lord was made a reproche vnto me, and in derision daily.
Nthawi iliyonse ndikamayankhula, ndimafuwula kunena kuti, ziwawa kuno! Tikuwonongeka! Mawu anu Yehova andisandutsa chinthu chonyozeka ndipo ndimachitidwa chipongwe tsiku lonse.
9 Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speake any more in his Name. But his worde was in mine heart as a burning fire shut vp in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.
Koma ndikanena kuti, “Sindidzalalikiranso za Iye kapena kuyankhulanso mʼdzina lake,” mawu anu amayaka ngati moto mu mtima mwanga, amakhaladi ngati moto wotsekeredwa mʼmafupa anga. Ndapirira kusunga mawu anu mu mtima mwanga osawatulutsa, koma sindingathe kupirirabe.
10 For I had heard the railing of many, and feare on euery side. Declare, said they, and wee wil declare it: all my familiars watched for mine halting, saying, It may be that he is deceiued: so we shall preuaile against him, and we shall execute our vengeance vpon him.
Ndimamva anthu ambiri akunongʼona kuti, “Zoopsa ku mbali zonse! Kamunenezeni! Tiyeni tikamuneneze!” Onse amene anali abwenzi anga akuyembekezera kuti ndigwa pansi, akumanena kuti, “Mwina mwake adzanyengedwa; tidzamugwira ndi kulipsira pa iye.”
11 But the Lord is with me like a mightie gyant: therefore my persecuters shall be ouerthrowen, and shall not preuaile, and shalbe greatly confounded: for they haue done vnwisely, and their euerlasting shame shall neuer be forgotten.
Koma Yehova ali nane, ndiye wankhondo wamphamvu. Nʼchifukwa chake ondizunza adzalephera ndipo sadzandipambana. Adzachita manyazi kwambiri chifukwa sadzapambana. Manyazi awo sadzayiwalika konse.
12 But, O Lord of hostes, that tryest the righteous, and seest the reines and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them: for vnto thee haue I opened my cause.
Inu Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Inu amene mumayesa anthu molungama ndipo mupenya za mu mtima mwa munthu. Ndiloleni kuti ndione kuti mwalipsira adani anga popeza ndapereka mlandu wanga kwa Inu.
13 Sing vnto the Lord, praise ye the Lord: for he hath deliuered the soule of the poore from the hande of the wicked.
Imbirani Yehova! Mutamandeni Yehova! Iye amapulumutsa wosauka mʼmanja mwa anthu oyipa.
14 Cursed be the day wherein I was borne: and let not the day wherein my mother bare me, be blessed.
Litembereredwe tsiku limene ndinabadwa! Tsiku limene amayi anga anandibereka lisatamandidwe!
15 Cursed be the man, that shewed my father, saying, A man child is borne vnto thee, and comforted him.
Wotembereredwa munthu amene anapita kukasangalatsa abambo anga ndi uthenga woti: “Kwabadwa mwana wamwamuna!”
16 And let that man be as the cities, which the Lord hath ouerturned and repented not: and let him heare the cry in the morning, and the showting at noone tide,
Munthu ameneyo akhale ngati mizinda imene Yehova anayiwononga mopanda chisoni. Amve mfuwu mmawa, phokoso la nkhondo masana.
17 Because he hath not slaine me, euen from the wombe, or that my mother might haue bene my graue, or her wobe a perpetual conception.
Chifukwa sanandiphere mʼmimba, kuti amayi anga asanduke manda anga, mimba yawo ikhale yayikulu mpaka kalekale.
18 How is it, that I came forth of the wombe, to see labour and sorowe, that my dayes shoulde be consumed with shame?
Kodi ndinabadwira mavuto ndi chisoni kuti moyo wanga ukhale wamanyazi wokhawokha?
