Jeremias 26
1 In the beginning of the reign of king Sedekias, there came this word concerning Aelam.
Yehoyakimu, mwana wa Yosiya mfumu ya ku Yuda atayamba kulamulira, Yehova anayankhula ndi Yeremiya kuti,
2 FOR EGYPT, AGAINST THE POWER OF PHARAO NECHAO KING OF EGYPT, who was by the river Euphrates in Charmis, whom Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon struck in the fourth year of Joakim king of Juda.
“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 Take up arms and spears, and draw near to battle;
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 harness the horses: mount, you horsemen, and stand ready in your helmets; advance the spears, and put on your breastplates.
Ukawawuze kuti, ‘Yehova akuti: Ngati simundimvera Ine ndi kuleka kutsatira malamulo anga, amene ndakupatsani,
5 Why do they fear, and turn back? even because their mighty men shall be slain: they have utterly fled, and being hemmed in they have not rallied, says the Lord.
ndipo ngati simumvera mawu a atumiki anga, aneneri amene ndakhala ndikukutumizirani, ngakhale kuti simunawamvere,
6 Let not the swift flee, and let not the mighty man escape to the north: the [forces] at Euphrates are become feeble, and they have fallen.
ndiye kuti Ine ndidzasandutsa Nyumba ino kukhala ngati Silo ndipo mzinda uno udzakhala chinthu chotembereredwa pakati pa mitundu yonse ya pa dziko lapansi.’”
7 Who is this [that] shall come up as a river, and as rivers roll [their] waves?
Ansembe, aneneri ndi anthu onse anamva Yeremiya akuyankhula mawu amenewa mʼNyumba ya Yehova.
8 The waters of Egypt shall come up like a river: and he said, I will go up, and will cover the earth, and will destroy the dwellers in it.
Yeremiya atangotsiriza kuwawuza anthu aja zonse zimene Yehova anamulamula kuti ayankhule, ansembe, aneneri pamodzi ndi anthu onse anamugwira ndipo anati, “Uyenera kuphedwa!
9 Mount you the horses, prepare the chariots; go forth, you warriors of the Ethiopians, and Libyans armed with shields; and mount, you Lydians, bend the bow.
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 that day [shall be] to the Lord our God a day of vengeance, to take vengeance on his enemies: and the sword of the Lord shall devour, and be glutted, and be drunken with their blood: for the Lord [has] a sacrifice from the land of the north at the river Euphrates.
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 Go up to Galaad, and take balm for the virgin daughter of Egypt: in vain have you multiplied your medicines; there is no help in you.
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 The nations have heard your voice, and the land has been filled with your cry: for the warriors have fainted fighting one against another, [and] both are fallen together.
Ndipo Yeremiya anawuza nduna zija ndi anthu onse kuti, “Yehova anandituma kunenera mawu onse amene mwawamva otsutsa Nyumba ino ndi mzinda uno.
13 THE WORDS WHICH THE LORD SPOKE by Jeremias, concerning the coming of the king of Babylon to strike the land of Egypt.
Tsopano konzani njira zanu ndi zochita zanu ndipo mverani Yehova Mulungu wanu. Mukatero ndiye kuti Yehova adzaleka osakupatsani chilango chimene ankati akupatseni.
14 Proclaim [it] at Magdol, and declare [it] at Memphis: say you, Stand up, and prepare; for the sword has devoured your yew tree.
Kunena za ine, ndili mʼmanja mwanu; mundichite chilichonse chimene mukuganiza kuti ndi chabwino ndi choyenera.
15 Therefore has Apis fled from you? your choice calf has not remained; for the Lord has utterly weakened him.
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 And your multitude has fainted and fallen; and each one said to his neighbor, Let us arise, and return into our country to our people, from the Grecian sword.
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 Call you the name of Pharao Nechao king of Egypt, Saon esbeie moed.
Akuluakulu ena a mʼdzikomo anayimirira ndi kuwuza gulu lonse la anthu kuti,
18 [As] I live, says the Lord God, he shall come as Itabyrion among the mountains, and as Carmel that is on the sea.
“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 O daughter of Egypt dwelling [at home], prepare you stuff for removing: for Memphis shall be utterly desolate, and shall be called Woe, because there are no inhabitants in it.
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 Egypt is a fair heifer, [but] destruction from the north is come upon her.
(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 Also her hired [soldiers] in the midst of her are as fatted calves fed in her; for they also have turned, and fled with one accord: they stood not, for the day of destruction was come upon them, and the time of their retribution.
Mfumu Yehoyakimu, ankhondo ake onse ndi nduna zake anamva mawu akewo, ndipo anafuna kumupha. Koma Uriya atamva zimenezi, anachita mantha nathawira ku Igupto.
22 Their voice is as [that] of a hissing serpent, for they go upon the sand; they shall come upon Egypt with axes, as men that cut wood.
Komabe Mfumu Yehoyakimu anatuma Elinatani mwana wa Akibori pamodzi ndi anthu ena, ku Igupto.
23 They shall cut down her forest, says the Lord, for [their number] can’t at all be conjectured, for it exceeds the locust in multitude, and they are innumerable.
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 The daughter of Egypt is confounded; she is delivered into the hands of a people from the north.
Koma Ahikamu mwana wa Safani ndiye anateteza Yeremiya, motero sanamupereke kwa anthu kuti amuphe.
25 Behold, I [will] avenge Ammon her son upon Pharao, and upon them that trust in him.
27 But fear not you, my servant Jacob, neither be you alarmed, Israel: for, behold, I will save you from afar, and your seed from their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be at ease, and sleep, and there shall be no one to trouble him.
28 Fear not you, my servant Jacob, says the Lord; for I am with you: she [that was] without fear and in luxury, has been delivered up: for I will make a full end of every nation among whom I have thrust you forth; but I will not cause you to fail: yet will I chastise you in the way of judgment, and will not hold you entirely guiltless.
