Jeremiah 42
1 Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even unto the greatest, came near,
Atsogoleri onse a ankhondo pamodzi ndi Yohanani mwana wa Kareya ndi Azariya mwana wa Hosayia, ndiponso anthu onse, ana ndi akuluakulu omwe, anapita
2 And said unto Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech thee, our supplication be accepted before thee, and pray for us unto YHWH thy Elohim, even for all this remnant; (for we are left but a few of many, as thine eyes do behold us: )
kwa mneneri Yeremiya ndipo anamuwuza kuti, “Chonde imvani dandawulo lathu ndipo mutipempherere anthu otsalafe kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu. Pakuti monga tsopano mukuona, ngakhale kuti kale tinalipo ambiri, koma tsopano ochepa okha ndiye amene atsala.
3 That YHWH thy Elohim may shew us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do.
Mupemphere kuti Yehova Mulungu wanu atiwuze kumene tiyenera kupita ndi chimene tiyenera kuchita.”
4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray unto YHWH your Elohim according to your words; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing YHWH shall answer you, I will declare it unto you; I will keep nothing back from you.
Mneneri Yeremiya anawayankha kuti, “Ndamva zimene mwanenazi. Ndithu ndidzapemphera kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu monga momwe mwandipemphera. Ndidzakuwuzani chilichonse chimene Yehova anene ndipo sindidzakubisirani kanthu kalikonse.”
5 Then they said to Jeremiah, YHWH be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not even according to all things for the which YHWH thy Elohim shall send thee to us.
Ndipo iwo anawuza Yeremiya kuti, “Yehova akhale mboni yoona ndi yokhulupirika yodzatitsutsa ife ngati sitichita mogwirizana ndi chilichonse chimene Yehova Mulungu adzakutumani kuti mutiwuze.
6 Whether it be good, or whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of YHWH our Elohim, to whom we send thee; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice of YHWH our Elohim.
Kaya ndi zotikomera kapena zosatikomera, ife tidzamvera Yehova Mulungu wathu, amene takutumaniko. Tidzamvera Yehova Mulungu wathu kuti zinthu zidzatiyendere bwino.”
7 And it came to pass after ten days, that the word of YHWH came unto Jeremiah.
Patapita masiku khumi, Yehova anayankhula ndi Yeremiya.
8 Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
Choncho Yeremiya anayitana Yohanani mwana wa Kareya pamodzi ndi atsogoleri onse a ankhondo amene anali naye ndiponso anthu onse, ana ndi akulu omwe.
9 And said unto them, Thus saith YHWH, the Elohim of Israel, unto whom ye sent me to present your supplication before him;
Yehova, Mulungu wa Israeli amene munanditumako kuti ndikapereke madandawulo mʼdzina lanu akuti,
10 If ye will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up: for I repent me of the evil that I have done unto you.
“Ngati mukhala mʼdziko muno, ndiye kuti ndidzakukhazikitsani, osakuchotsani. Inde ndidzakudzalani osakuchotsani pakuti ndi kumva chisoni kwambiri chifukwa cha mavuto amene ndabweretsa pa inu.
11 Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom ye are afraid; be not afraid of him, saith YHWH: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver you from his hand.
Musayiope mfumu ya ku Babuloni, imene mukuyiopa tsopano. Musachite nayo mantha, akutero Yehova, pakuti Ine ndili nanu ndipo ndidzakupulumutsani ndi kukulanditsani mʼmanja mwake.
12 And I will shew mercies unto you, that he may have mercy upon you, and cause you to return to your own land.
Ndidzakuchitirani chifundo, ndipo mfumuyonso idzakuchitirani chifundo ndi kukulolani kuti mukhale mʼdziko mwanumwanu.
13 But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice of YHWH your Elohim,
“Koma mwina simudzamvera Yehova Mulungu wanu nʼkumanena kuti, ‘Ayi ife sitidzakhala mʼdziko muno,
14 Saying, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread; and there will we dwell:
ndipo ngati mukunena kuti, ‘Ayi, koma tidzapita ku Igupto kumene sitidzaonako nkhondo kapena kumva kulira kwa lipenga kapenanso kusowa chakudya.’
15 And now therefore hear the word of YHWH, ye remnant of Judah; Thus saith YHWH of hosts, the Elohim of Israel; If ye wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn there;
Tsono, inu otsala a ku Yuda, imvani mawu a Yehova. Iye akuti, ngati mutsimikiza zopita ku Igupto, nʼkupitadi kukakhala kumeneko,
16 Then it shall come to pass, that the sword, which ye feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof ye were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there ye shall die.
ndiye nkhondo imene mukuyiopayo idzakugonjetsani ku Igupto komweko. Njala imene mukuyiopayo idzakupezani ku Igupto komweko ndipo mudzafera kumeneko.
17 So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring upon them.
Kunena zoona, onse amene atsimikiza zopita ku Igupto kuti akakhale kumeneko adzafa ndi nkhondo njala ndi mliri. Palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene adzapulumuke kapena kuthawa mavuto amene ndidzawagwetsera.’
18 For thus saith YHWH of hosts, the Elohim of Israel; As mine anger and my fury hath been poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be poured forth upon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt: and ye shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and ye shall see this place no more.
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli akuti, ‘Momwe ndinawakwiyira mwaukali anthu okhala mu Yerusalemu, koteronso ndidzakukwiyirani mukapita ku Igupto. Mudzasanduka chinthu chotembereredwa ndi chochititsa mantha, choseketsa ndi chonyozeka. Malo ano simudzawaonanso.’
19 YHWH hath said concerning you, O ye remnant of Judah; Go ye not into Egypt: know certainly that I have admonished you this day.
“Inu otsala a ku Yuda, Yehova wakuwuzani kuti, ‘Musapite ku Igupto.’ Dziwani chinthu ichi: Ine lero ndikukuchenjezani
20 For ye dissembled in your hearts, when ye sent me unto YHWH your Elohim, saying, Pray for us unto YHWH our Elohim; and according unto all that YHWH our Elohim shall say, so declare unto us, and we will do it.
kuti munalakwitsa kwambiri. Inu munandituma kwa Yehova Mulungu wanu nʼkumati ‘Mukatipempherere kwa Yehova Mulungu wathu, nʼkudzatiwuza chimene afuna kuti tichite, ndipo ife tidzachita.’
21 And now I have this day declared it to you; but ye have not obeyed the voice of YHWH your Elohim, nor any thing for the which he hath sent me unto you.
Ine lero ndakuwuzani, koma inu simukumverabe zonse zimene Yehova Mulungu anandituma kuti ndikuwuzeni.
22 Now therefore know certainly that ye shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to go and to sojourn.
Tsono dziwani ichi: mudzafadi ndi nkhondo, njala ndi mliri kumalo kumene mukufuna mukakhaleko.”
