Jeremiah 26
1 In the beginning of the reigne of Iehoiakim the sonne of Iosiah King of Iudah, came this worde from the Lord, saying,
Yehoyakimu, mwana wa Yosiya mfumu ya ku Yuda atayamba kulamulira, Yehova anayankhula ndi Yeremiya kuti,
2 Thus saith the Lord, Sande in the court of the Lordes House, and speake vnto all the cities of Iudah, which come to worshippe in the Lords House, all the wordes that I commaund thee to speake vnto them: keepe not a worde backe,
“Kayime mʼbwalo la Nyumba ya Yehova. Ndipo ukayankhule kwa anthu onse okhala mʼmizinda ya ku Yuda amene amabwera kudzapembedza ku Nyumba ya Yehova. Ukawawuze zonse zomwe ndakulamula; usakasiyeko ndi mawu amodzi omwe.
3 If so be they will hearken, and turne euery man from his euill way, that I may repent me of the plague, which I haue determined to bring vpon them, because of the wickednesse of their workes.
Mwina mwake adzamvera, ndipo aliyense adzatembenuka kuleka njira yake yoyipa. Ndiye ine ndidzaleka osapatsa chilango chimene ndinakonzekera kuti ndiwalange nacho chifukwa cha ntchito zawo zoyipa.
4 And thou shalt say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord, If ye will not heare me to walke in my Lawes, which I haue set before you,
Ukawawuze kuti, ‘Yehova akuti: Ngati simundimvera Ine ndi kuleka kutsatira malamulo anga, amene ndakupatsani,
5 And to heare ye wordes of my seruants the Prophets, whome I sent vnto you, both rising vp earely, and sending them, and will not obey them,
ndipo ngati simumvera mawu a atumiki anga, aneneri amene ndakhala ndikukutumizirani, ngakhale kuti simunawamvere,
6 Then will I make this House like Shiloh, and will make this citie a curse to all the nations of the earth.
ndiye kuti Ine ndidzasandutsa Nyumba ino kukhala ngati Silo ndipo mzinda uno udzakhala chinthu chotembereredwa pakati pa mitundu yonse ya pa dziko lapansi.’”
7 So the Priestes, and the Prophets, and all the people heard Ieremiah speaking these wordes in the House of the Lord.
Ansembe, aneneri ndi anthu onse anamva Yeremiya akuyankhula mawu amenewa mʼNyumba ya Yehova.
8 Nowe when Ieremiah had made an end of speaking all that the Lord had commanded him to speake vnto all the people, then the Priestes, and the prophets, and all the people tooke him, and saide, Thou shalt die the death.
Yeremiya atangotsiriza kuwawuza anthu aja zonse zimene Yehova anamulamula kuti ayankhule, ansembe, aneneri pamodzi ndi anthu onse anamugwira ndipo anati, “Uyenera kuphedwa!
9 Why hast thou prophecied in the Name of the Lord, saying, This House shall be like Shiloh, and this citie shalbe desolate without an inhabitant? and all the people were gathered against Ieremiah in the House of the Lord.
Chifukwa chiyani walosera mʼdzina la Yehova kuti Nyumba ino idzakhala ngati Silo ndipo mzinda uno udzakhala wopanda anthu ngati chipululu?” Anthu onse anamuzungulira Yeremiya mʼNyumba ya Yehova.
10 And when the princes of Iudah heard of these things, they came vp from the Kings house into the House of the Lord, and sate downe in the entrie of the new gate of the Lords House.
Koma nduna za ku Yuda zitamva zomwe zinachitikazi, zinanyamuka kuchokera ku nyumba yaufumu kupita ku Nyumba ya Yehova, nakakhala pamalo pawo, pa Chipata Chatsopano cha Nyumba ya Yehova.
11 Then spake the Priestes, and the prophets vnto the princes, and to all the people, saying, This man is worthie to die: for he hath prophecied against this citie, as ye haue heard with your eares.
Pamenepo ansembe ndi aneneri anawuza ndunazo pamodzi ndi anthu onse kuti, “Munthu uyu ayenera kuphedwa chifukwa amalosera zoyipira mzinda uno. Inu mwadzimvera nokha zimenezi!”
12 Then spake Ieremiah vnto all the princes, and to al the people, saying, The Lord hath sent me to prophecie against this house and against this citie all the things that ye haue heard.
Ndipo Yeremiya anawuza nduna zija ndi anthu onse kuti, “Yehova anandituma kunenera mawu onse amene mwawamva otsutsa Nyumba ino ndi mzinda uno.
13 Therefore nowe amende your wayes and your workes, and heare the voyce of the Lord your God, that the Lord may repent him of the plague, that he hath pronounced against you.
Tsopano konzani njira zanu ndi zochita zanu ndipo mverani Yehova Mulungu wanu. Mukatero ndiye kuti Yehova adzaleka osakupatsani chilango chimene ankati akupatseni.
14 As for me, beholde, I am in your hands: do with me as ye thinke good and right.
Kunena za ine, ndili mʼmanja mwanu; mundichite chilichonse chimene mukuganiza kuti ndi chabwino ndi choyenera.
15 But knowe ye for certaine, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood vpon your selues, and vpon this citie, and vpon the inhabitants thereof: for of a trueth the Lord hath sent me vnto you, to speake all these words in your eares.
Komatu dziwani kuti ngati mundipha, inu pamodzi ndi mzinda uno ndi onse amene amakhala muno, mudzapalamula mlandu wokhetsa magazi a munthu wosalakwa. Ndithudi Yehova anandituma kuti ndidzayankhule mawu onsewa inu mukumva.”
16 Then saide the princes and all the people vnto the Priestes, and to the prophets, This man is not worthie to die: for he hath spoken vnto vs in the Name of the Lord our God.
Pamenepo ndunazo pamodzi ndi anthu onse anawuza ansembe ndi aneneri kuti, “Munthu uyu sayenera kuphedwa! Pakuti wayankhula kwa ife mʼdzina la Yehova Mulungu wathu.”
17 Then rose vp certaine of the Elders of the lande, and spake to all the assemblie of the people, saying,
Akuluakulu ena a mʼdzikomo anayimirira ndi kuwuza gulu lonse la anthu kuti,
18 Michah the Morashite prophecied in the dayes of Hezekiah king of Iudah, and spake to al the people of Iudah, saying, Thus saith the Lord of hostes, Zion shall be plowed like a fielde, and Ierusalem shalbe an heape, and the mountaine of the House shalbe as the hie places of the forest.
“Mʼmasiku a Hezekiya mfumu ya ku Yuda, Mika wa ku Moreseti ankalosera. Iye ankawuza anthu kuti Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, “‘Ziyoni adzatipulidwa ngati munda, Yerusalemu adzasanduka bwinja, ndipo phiri la Nyumba ya Mulungu lidzasanduka nkhalango yowirira.’
19 Did Hezekiah King of Iudah, and all Iudah put him to death? did he not feare ye Lord, and prayed before the Lord, and the Lord repented him of the plague, that he had pronounced against them? Thus might we procure great euill against our soules.
Kodi Hezekiya mfumu ya ku Yuda ndi anthu onse anamupha amene uja? Kodi suja mfumu inaopa Yehova ndi kupempha kuti ayikomere mtima? Ndipo suja Yehova anasintha maganizo ake nʼkuleka kuwalanga monga mʼmene anakonzera? Ifetu tikudziyitanira tsoka lalikulu!”
20 And there was also a man that prophecied in the Name of the Lord, one Vriiah the sonne of Shemaiah, of Kiriath-iarem, who prophecied against this citie, and against this lande, according to all the wordes of Ieremiah.
(Panalinso munthu wina, Uriya mwana wa Semaya wa ku Kiriati-Yeyarimu, amene ankalosera mʼdzina la Yehova. Iyeyu analosera za mzinda uno ndi dziko lino monga mmene wachitira Yeremiya.
21 Nowe when Iehoiakim the King with all his men of power, and all the princes heard his wordes, the King sought to slay him. But when Vriiah heard it, he was afraide and fled, and went into Egypt.
Mfumu Yehoyakimu, ankhondo ake onse ndi nduna zake anamva mawu akewo, ndipo anafuna kumupha. Koma Uriya atamva zimenezi, anachita mantha nathawira ku Igupto.
22 Then Iehoiakim the King sent men into Egypt, euen Elnathan the sonne of Achbor, and certaine with him into Egypt.
Komabe Mfumu Yehoyakimu anatuma Elinatani mwana wa Akibori pamodzi ndi anthu ena, ku Igupto.
23 And they fet Vriiah out of Egypt, and brought him vnto Iehoiakim the King, who slew him with the sword, and cast his dead bodie into the graues of the children of the people.
Iwo anakamutenga Uriya ku Igupto kuja nabwera naye kwa Mfumu Yehoyakimu. Iye anamupha ndi lupanga ndipo mtembo wake anakawutaya ku manda a anthu wamba).
24 But the hande of Ahikam the sonne of Shaphan was with Ieremiah that they shoulde not giue him into the hande of the people to put him to death.
Koma Ahikamu mwana wa Safani ndiye anateteza Yeremiya, motero sanamupereke kwa anthu kuti amuphe.
