Jeremias 17
1 Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and will lean his arm of flesh upon him, while his heart departs from the Lord.
“Tchimo la Yuda lazokotedwa ndi cholembera cha chitsulo, lalembedwa ndi msonga ya mwala wadayimondi. Uchimowo walembedwa pa mitima yawo ndiponso pa nyanga za maguwa awo.
Ngakhale ana awo amakumbukira maguwa awo ndi zoyimiritsa ngati zifanizo za mulungu wawo Asera, pa tsinde la mitengo ya masamba ambiri, pa mapiri aatali mʼdzikomo.
Chuma chanu ndiponso katundu wanu yense ndidzazipereka kwa ofunkha kuti zikhale dipo lawo chifukwa cha machimo ochitika mʼdziko lonse.
Mudzataya dziko limene ndinakupatsani kuti likhale cholowa chanu. Ndidzakusandutsani akapolo otumikira adani anu mʼdziko limene inu simukulidziwa, chifukwa mwabutsa mkwiyo wanga ngati moto, ndipo udzayaka mpaka muyaya.”
Yehova akuti, “Ndi wotembereredwa munthu amene amadalira munthu mnzake, amene amatsamira pa munthu mnzake kuti amuthandize pamene mtima wake wafulatira Yehova.
6 And he shall be as the wild tamarisk in the desert: he shall not see when good comes; but he shall dwell in barren [places], and in the wilderness, in a salt land which is not inhabited.
Munthuyo adzakhala ngati chitsamba mʼchipululu; iye sadzapeza zabwino. Adzakhala mʼchipululu mopanda madzi, mʼdziko lamchere limene munthu sangathe kukhalamo.
7 But blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord shall be.
“Koma ndi wodala munthu amene amadalira Yehova, amene amatsamira pa Iye.
8 And he shall be as a thriving tree by the waters, and he shall cast forth his root toward a moist place: he shall not fear when heat comes, and there shall be upon him shady branches: he shall not fear in a year of drought, and he shall not fail to bear fruit.
Adzakhala ngati mtengo wodzalidwa mʼmphepete mwa madzi umene umatambalitsa mizu yake mʼmbali mwa mtsinje. Mtengowo suopa pamene kukutentha; masamba ake amakhala obiriwira nthawi zonse. Suchita mantha pa chaka cha chilala ndipo sulephera kubereka chipatso.”
9 The heart is deep beyond all things, and it is the man, and who can know him?
Mtima wa munthu ndi wonyenga kupambana zinthu zonse ndipo kuyipa kwake nʼkosachizika. Ndani angathe kuwumvetsa?
10 I the Lord try the hearts, and prove the reins, to give to every one according to his ways, and according to the fruits of his devices.
“Ine Yehova ndimafufuza mtima ndi kuyesa maganizo, ndimachitira munthu aliyense molingana ndi makhalidwe ake ndiponso moyenera ntchito zake.”
11 The partridge utters her voice, she gathers [eggs] which she did not lay; [so is a man] gaining his wealth unjustly; in the midst of his days [his riches] shall leave him, and at his latter end he will be a fool.
Munthu amene amapeza chuma mwachinyengo ali ngati nkhwali imene imafungatira mazira amene sinayikire. Pamene ali pakatikati pa moyo wake, chumacho chidzamuthera, ndipo potsiriza adzasanduka chitsiru.
12 An exalted throne of glory is our sanctuary.
Nyumba yathu yopemphereramo ili ngati mpando waufumu waulemerero wokhazikitsidwa pa phiri lalitali chiyambire.
13 O Lord, the hope of Israel, let all that have left you be ashamed, let them that have revolted be written on the earth, because they have forsaken the fountain of life, the Lord.
Inu Yehova, chiyembekezo cha Israeli, onse amene amakusiyani adzachita manyazi. Iwo amene amakufulatirani mayina awo adzafafanizika ngati olembedwa pa fumbi chifukwa anakana Yehova, kasupe wa madzi amoyo.
14 Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved; for you are my boast.
Inu Yehova, chiritseni, ndipo ndidzachira; pulumutseni ndipo ndidzapulumuka, chifukwa ndinu amene ndimakutamandani.
15 Behold, they say to me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come.
Anthu akumandinena kuti, “Mawu a Yehova ali kuti? Zichitiketu lero kuti tizione!”
16 But I have not been weary of following you, nor have I desired the day of man; you know; the [words] that proceed out of my lips are before your face.
Ine sindinakuwumirizeni kuti muwalange. Mukudziwa kuti ine sindilakalaka tsiku la tsoka. Zonse zimene ndinayankhula Inu mukuzidziwa.
17 Be not to me a stranger, [but] spare me in the evil day.
Musandichititse mantha; ndinu pothawira panga pa tsiku la mavuto.
18 Let them that persecute me be ashamed, but let me not be ashamed: let them be alarmed, but let me not be alarmed: bring upon them the evil day, crush them with double destruction.
Ondizunza anga achite manyazi, koma musandichititse manyazi; iwo achite mantha kwambiri, koma ine mundichotsere manthawo. Tsiku la mavuto liwafikire; ndipo muwawononge kotheratu.
19 Thus says the Lord; Go and stand in the gates of the children of your people, by which the kings of Juda enter, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem:
Yehova anandiwuza kuti, “Pita ukayime pa chipata chodzerapo anthu, chimene mafumu a ku Yuda amalowerapo ndi kutulukirapo. Ukayimenso pa zipata zina zonse za Yerusalemu.
20 and you shall say to them, Hear the word of the Lord, you kings of Juda, and all Judea, and all Jerusalem, [all] who go in at these gates:
Ukawawuze kuti, ‘Imvani mawu a Yehova, inu mafumu onse a ku Yuda ndi anthu onse a ku Yuda ndi inu nonse okhala mu Yerusalemu amene mumatulukira pa zipata izi.’
21 thus says the Lord; Take heed to your souls, and take up no burdens on the sabbath-day, and go not forth [through] the gates of Jerusalem;
Yehova akuti: samalani kuti pa tsiku la Sabata musanyamule katundu kapena kulowa naye pa zipata za Yerusalemu.
22 and carry forth no burdens out of your houses on the sabbath-day, and you shall do no work: sanctify the sabbath-day, as I commanded your fathers.
Musalowetse katundu mʼnyumba zanu kapena kugwira ntchito pa tsiku la Sabata, koma mulipatule tsiku la Sabatalo, monga ndinalamulira makolo anu.
23 But they listened not, and inclined not their ear, but stiffened their neck more than their fathers [did], so as not to hear me, and not to receive correction.
Komatu iwo sanandimvere kapena kulabadira. Ndi mitima yawo yowumayo sanamvere kapena kulandira malangizo anga.
24 And it shall come to pass, if you will listen to me, says the Lord, to carry in no burdens through the gates of this city on the sabbath-day, and to sanctify the sabbath-day, so as to do no work [upon it],
Yehova akuti, ‘Muzimvera Ine ndi kuleka kulowetsa kapena kutulutsa katundu pa zipata za mzinda pa tsiku la Sabata. Muzisunga tsiku la Sabata kuti likhale lopatulika posachita ntchito iliyonse pa tsikuli.
25 that there shall enter through the gates of this city kings and princes sitting on the throne of David, and riding on their chariots and horses, they, and their princes, the men of Juda, and the dwellers in Jerusalem: and this city shall be inhabited for ever.
Mukatero ndiye mafumu anu amene akukhala pa mpando wa Davide adzatulukira pa zipata za mzindawu pamodzi ndi nduna zawo. Iwo pamodzi ndi nduna zawo azidzalowa atakwera magaleta ndi akavalo, akuperekezedwa ndi anthu a ku Yuda ndi amene amakhala mu Yerusalemu, ndipo mu mzinda muno mudzakhala anthu mpaka muyaya.
26 And [men] shall come out of the cities of Juda, and from round about Jerusalem, and out of the land of Benjamin, and out of the plain country, and from the hill country, and from the south [country], bringing whole burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and incense, and manna, and frankincense, bringing praise to the house of the Lord.
Anthu adzabwera kuchokera ku mizinda ya Yuda ndi ku midzi yozungulira Yerusalemu, kuchokera ku dziko la Benjamini ndi ku mapiri a kumadzulo, kuchokera ku dziko la mapiri ndi ku Negevi. Adzabwera ndi nsembe zopsereza, nsembe zaufa ndi za chakudya, nsembe za lubani ndi zopereka zachiyamiko ku nyumba ya Yehova.
27 But it shall come to pass, if you will not listen to me to sanctify the sabbath-day, to bear no burdens, nor go in [with them by] the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath-day; then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the streets of Jerusalem, and shall not be quenched.
Koma ngati simundimvera; mukapanda kusunga tsiku la Sabata kuti likhale lopatulika ndi kumanyamula katundu nʼkumalowa naye pa zipata za Yerusalemu pa tsikuli, Ine ndidzabutsa moto pa zipata za Yerusalemu. Moto umenewo udzanyeketsa nyumba zaufumu za ku Yerusalemu ndipo moto wake sudzazima.’”
