Jeremias 22
1 Thus says the Lord; Go you, and go down to the house of the king of Juda, and you shall speak there this word,
Yehova anandiwuza kuti, “Pita ku nyumba ya mfumu ya ku Yuda ndipo ukayiwuze kuti,
2 and you shall say, Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Juda, that sit on the throne of David, you, and your house, and your people, and they that go in at these gates:
‘Imva mawu a Yehova, iwe mfumu ya ku Yuda, amene umakhala pa mpando waufumu wa Davide; iwe, nduna zako pamodzi ndi anthu ako amene amalowera pa zipata izi.
3 thus says the Lord; Execute you judgment and justice, and rescue the spoiled out of the hand of him that wrongs him: and oppress not the stranger, and orphan, and widow, and sin not, and shed no innocent blood in this place.
Yehova akuti, uziweruza molungama ndi mosakondera. Uzipulumutsa munthu amene walandidwa katundu mʼdzanja la womuzunza. Usazunze kapena kupondereza mlendo, ana amasiye kapena akazi amasiye. Usaphe munthu wosalakwa pa malo pano.
4 For if you will indeed perform this word, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting upon the throne of David, and riding on chariots and horses, they, and their servants, and their people.
Pakuti ngati udzamvera malamulo awa, ndiye kuti mafumu onse okhala pa mpando waufumu wa Davide azidzalowabe pa zipata za nyumba yaufumu ino, atakwera magaleta ndi akavalo, iwowo pamodzi ndi nduna zawo ndi anthu awo.
5 But if you will not perform these words, by myself have I sworn, says the Lord, that this house shall be [brought] to desolation.
Koma ngati sumvera malamulo awa, akutero Yehova, ndikulumbira pali Ine ndemwe kuti nyumba ino yaufumu idzasanduka bwinja.’”
6 For thus says the Lord concerning the house of the king of Juda; You are Galaad to me, [and] the head of Libanus: [yet] surely I will make you a desert, [even] cities that shall not be inhabited:
Pakuti zimene Yehova akunena za nyumba yaufumu ya mfumu ya ku Yuda ndi izi: “Ngakhale iwe uli ngati Giliyadi kwa Ine, ngati msonga ya phiri la Lebanoni, komabe ndidzakusandutsa chipululu, ngati mizinda yopanda anthu.
7 and I will bring upon you a destroying man, and his axe: and they shall cut down your choice cedars, and cast [them] into the fire.
Ndidzatuma anthu oti adzakuwononge, munthu aliyense ali ndi zida zake, ndipo adzadula mikungudza yako yokongola nadzayiponya pa moto.
8 And nations shall pass through this city, and each shall say to his neighbor, Why has the Lord done thus to this great city?
“Pamene anthu a mitundu ina adzadutsa pa mzinda umenewu adzafunsana kuti, ‘Chifukwa chiyani Yehova wachita chinthu chotere pa mzinda waukuluwu?’
9 And they shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord their God, and worshipped strange gods, and served them.
Ndipo yankho lake lidzakhala lakuti, ‘Chifukwa anasiya pangano limene anapangana ndi Yehova Mulungu wawo ndipo anapembedza ndi kutumikira milungu ina.’”
10 Weep not for the dead, nor lament for him: weep bitterly for him that goes away: for he shall return no more, nor see his native land.
Musayilire mfumu Yosiya, musamuyimbire nyimbo womwalirayo; mʼmalo mwake, mulire kwambiri chifukwa cha Yehowahazi amene wapita ku ukapolo, chifukwa sadzabwereranso kapena kuonanso dziko lake lobadwira.
11 For thus says the Lord concerning Sellem the son of Josias, who reigns in the place of Josias his father, who has gone forth out of this place; He shall not return there any more:
Pakuti zimene Yehova akunena za Yehowahazi mwana wa Yosiya, amene anatenga mpando waufumu wa Yuda mʼmalo mwa abambo ake koma nʼkuwusiya ndi izi: “Iye sadzabwereranso.
12 but in that place whither I have carried him captive, there shall he die, and shall see this land no more.
Iyeyo adzafera ku ukapoloko. Sadzalionanso dziko lino.”
13 He that builds his house not with justice, and his upper chambers not with judgment, who works by means of his neighbor for nothing, and will by no means give him his reward.
“Tsoka kwa munthu womanga nyumba yake mopanda chilungamo, womanga zipinda zake zosanja monyenga, pogwiritsa ntchito abale ake mwathangata, osawapatsa malipiro a ntchito yawo.
14 You have built for yourself a well-proportioned house, airy chambers, fitted with windows, and wainscoted with cedar, and painted with vermilion.
Munthuyo amati, ‘Ndidzadzimangira nyumba yayikulu ya zipinda zikuluzikulu zamʼmwamba.’ Kotero ndidzapanga mazenera akuluakulu, ndi kukhomamo matabwa a mkungudza ndi kukongoletsa ndi makaka ofiira.
15 Shall you reign, because you are provoked with your father Achaz? they shall not eat, and they shall not drink: it is better for you to execute judgment and justice.
“Kodi kukhala ndi nyumba ya mkungudza wambiri zingachititse iwe kukhala mfumu? Ganiza za abambo ako. Suja anali ndi zonse zakudya ndi zakumwa. Abambo ako ankaweruza molungama ndi mosakondera, ndipo zonse zinkawayendera bwino.
16 They understood not, they judged not the cause of the afflicted, nor the cause of the poor: is not this your not knowing me? says the Lord.
Iye ankateteza anthu osauka ndi osowa, ndipo zonse zinkamuyendera bwino. Kodi zimenezi sindiye tanthauzo la kudziwa Ine?” akutero Yehova.
17 Behold, your eyes are not good, nor your heart, but [they go] after your covetousness, and after the innocent blood to shed it, and after acts of injustice and slaughter, to commit them.
“Koma maso ako ndi mtima sizili penanso, koma zili pa phindu lachinyengo, pa zopha anthu osalakwa ndi pa kuzunza ndi pakulamulira mwankhanza.”
18 Therefore thus says the Lord concerning Joakim son of Josias, king of Juda, even concerning this man; they shall not bewail him, [saying], Ah brother! neither shall they at all weep for him, [saying], Alas Lord.
Nʼchifukwa chake Yehova ponena za Yehoyakimu mwana wa Yosiya mfumu ya ku Yuda akuti, “Anthu sadzamulira maliro kapena kunena kuti, ‘Kalanga ine, mʼbale wanga! Kalanga ine mlongo wanga! Anthu ake sadzamulira maliro kuti, Kalanga ine, mbuye wathu! Taonani ulemerero wake wapita!’
19 He shall be buried with the burial of an ass; he shall be dragged roughly along and cast outside the gate of Jerusalem.
Adzayikidwa ngati bulu, kuchita kumuguguza ndi kukamutaya kunja kwa zipata za Yerusalemu.”
20 Go up to Libanus, and cry; and utter your voice to Basan, and cry aloud to the extremity of the sea: for all your lovers are destroyed.
“Tsono inu anthu a ku Yerusalemu, pitani ku mapiri a Lebanoni kuti mukalire mofuwula kumeneko, mawu anu akamveke mpaka ku Basani. Mulire mofuwula muli ku Abarimu chifukwa abwenzi ako onse awonongeka.
21 I spoke to you on [occasion of] your trespass, but you said, I will not listen. This [has been] your way from your youth, you have not listened to my voice.
Ndinakuchenjezani pamene munali pa mtendere. Koma inu munati, ‘Sindidzamvera.’ Umu ndi mmene mwakhala mukuchitira kuyambira mukali aangʼono. Simunandimvere Ine.
22 The wind shall tend all your shepherds, and your lovers shall go into captivity; for then shall you be ashamed and disgraced because of all your lovers.
Mphepo idzakuchotserani abusa anu onse, ndipo abwenzi anu adzatengedwa ku ukapolo. Pamenepo mudzachita manyazi ndi kunyozedwa chifukwa cha zoyipa zanu zonse.
23 O you that dwell in Libanus, making your nest in the cedars, you shall groan heavily, when pangs as of a travailing woman are come upon you.
Inu amene mumakhala mʼnyumba ya ku Lebanoni, amene munamanga nyumba zanu pakati pa mikungudza, mudzabuwula kwambiri pamene zowawa zidzakugwerani, zonga za mkazi pa nthawi yake yochira!
24 [As] I live, says the Lord, though Jechonias son of Joakim king of Juda were indeed the seal upon my right hand, thence would I pluck you;
“Pali Ine wamoyo, akutero Yehova, ngakhale iwe, Yehoyakini mwana wa Yehoyakimu mfumu ya ku Yuda, ukanakhala ngati mphete ya ku dzanja langa lamanja, ndikanakuvula nʼkukutaya.
25 and I will deliver you into the hands of them that seek your life, before whom you are afraid, into the hands of the Chaldeans.
Ndidzakupereka kwa amene akufuna kukupha, amene iwe umawaopa. Ndidzakupereka kwa Nebukadinezara, mfumu ya ku Babuloni ndi anthu ake.
26 And I will cast forth you, and your mother that bore you, into a land where you were not born; and there you shall die.
Iwe pamodzi ndi amayi ako amene anakubereka ndidzakupititsani ku dziko lachilendo. Ngakhale inu simunabadwire kumeneko, komabe mudzafera komweko.
27 But they shall by no means return to the land which they long for in their souls.
Simudzabwereranso ku dziko limene mudzafuna kubwerera.”
28 Jechonias is dishonored as a good-for-nothing vessel; for he is thrown out and cast forth into a land which he knew not.
Kodi Yehoyakini wakhala ngati mbiya yonyozeka, yosweka imene anthu sakuyifunanso? Kodi nʼchifukwa chake iye pamodzi ndi ana ake, achotsedwa nʼkutayidwa ku dziko limene iwo sakulidziwa?
29 Land, land, hear the word of the Lord.
Iwe dziko, dziko, dziko, Imva mawu a Yehova!
30 Write you this man an outcast: for there shall none of his seed at all grow up to sit on the throne of David, [or as] a prince yet in Juda.
Yehova akuti, “Munthu ameneyu mumutenge ngati wopanda ana, munthu amene sadzakhala wochita bwino pamoyo wake wonse, pakuti palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe mwa zidzukulu zake zomwe zidzachita bwino. Palibe amene adzathe kukhala pa mpando waufumu wa Davide ndi kulamulira Yuda.”
