< Jeremias 35 >

1 And it came to pass in the fourth year of Sedekias king of Juda, in the fifth month, [that] Ananias the false prophet, the son of Azor, from Gabaon, spoke to me in the house of the Lord, in the sight of the priests and all the people, saying,
Yehova anayankhula ndi Yeremiya nthawi ya ulamuliro wa Yehoyakimu mwana wa Yosiya mfumu ya Yuda, kuti:
2 Thus says the Lord; I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon.
“Pita ku banja la Arekabu ndipo ukawayitane kuti abwere mʼchipinda chimodzi cha Nyumba ya Yehova ndipo akafika uwapatse vinyo kuti amwe.”
3 Yet two full years, and I will return into this place the vessels of the house of the Lord,
Choncho ndinakatenga Yaazaniya (mwana wa Yeremiya winanso amene anali mwana wa Habaziniya), abale ake, ana ake onse aamuna ndi banja lonse la Arekabu.
4 and Jechonias, and the captivity of Juda: for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
Ndinabwera nawo ku Nyumba ya Yehova, ku chipinda cha ophunzira a mneneri Hanani mwana wa Igidaliya, munthu wa Mulungu. Chipinda chimenechi chinali pafupi ndi chipinda cha akuluakulu, chimene chinali pamwamba pa chipinda cha Maaseya mwana wa Salumu, mlonda wa pa khomo.
5 Then Jeremias spoke to Ananias in the sight of all the people, and in the sight of the priests that stood in the house of the Lord,
Kenaka ndinayika mabotolo odzaza ndi vinyo ndi zikho zake pamaso pa Arekabu ndipo ndinawawuza kuti, “Imwani vinyoyu.”
6 and Jeremias said, May the Lord indeed do thus; may he confirm your word which you do prophesy, to return the vessels of the house of the Lord, and all the captivity, out of Babylon to this place.
Koma iwo anayankha kuti, “Ife sitimwa vinyo, chifukwa kholo lathu Yehonadabu mwana wa Rekabu anatilamula kuti, ‘Inuyo ngakhale zidzukulu zanu, musadzamwe vinyo mpaka kalekale.
7 Nevertheless hear you the word of the Lord which I speak in your ears, and in the ears of all the people.
Musadzamange nyumba kapena kufesa mbewu, kapena kulima minda ya mpesa; musadzakhale ndi zinthu zimenezi. Mʼmalo mwake muzidzakhale mʼmatenti. Mukadzatero mudzakhala nthawi yayitali mʼdziko limene mukukhalamo.’
8 The prophets that were before me and before you of old, also prophesied over much country, and against great kingdoms, concerning war.
Ife takhala tikumvera zonse zimene kholo lathu Yehonadabu mwana wa Rekabu anatilamula. Ife ngakhale akazi athu kapena ana athu aamuna ndi aakazi sitinamwepo vinyo
9 [As for] the prophet that has prophesied for peace, when the word has come [to pass], they shall know the prophet whom the Lord has sent them in truth.
kapena kumanga nyumba kuti tizikhalamo kapenanso kukhala ndi minda ya mpesa, minda ina iliyonse kapena mbewu.
10 Then Ananias took the yokes from the neck of Jeremias in the sight of all the people, and broke them to pieces.
Koma takhala mʼmatenti ndipo tamvera kwathunthu chilichonse chimene kholo lathu Yehonadabu anatilamula.
11 And Ananias spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus said the Lord; Thus will I break the yoke of the king of Babylon from the necks of all the nations. And Jeremias went his way.
Koma pamene Nebukadinezara mfumu ya Babuloni anathira nkhondo dziko lino, ife tinati, ‘Tiyeni tichoke, tipite ku Yerusalemu kuti tithawe magulu ankhondo a Akasidi ndi Aaramu.’ Kotero ife takhala tikukhala mu Yerusalemu.”
12 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, after that Ananias had broken the yokes off his neck, saying,
Yehova anayankhulanso ndi Yeremiya kuti,
13 Go and speak to Ananias, saying, Thus says the Lord; You have broken the yokes of wood; but I will make instead of them yokes of iron.
“Iyeyu, Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli anawuza Yeremiya kuti: Pita ukawawuze anthu a ku Yuda ndi a ku Yerusalemu kuti, ‘Kodi simungatengeko phunziro ndi kumvera mawu anga?’ akutero Yehova.
14 For thus said the Lord, I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all the nations, that they may serve the king of Babylon.
‘Yehonadabu mwana wa Rekabu analamula ana ake kuti asamwe vinyo ndipo lamulo limeneli alisunga. Mpaka lero lino iwo samwa vinyo, chifukwa akumvera lamulo la kholo lawo. Koma Ine ndakhala ndikuyankhula nanu kawirikawiri kukuchenjezani, koma inu simunandimvere Ine.
15 And Jeremias said to Ananias, The Lord has not sent you; and you have caused this people to trust in unrighteousness.
Kawirikawiri ndakhala ndikutumiza atumiki anga, aneneri, kwa inu. Iwo akhala akukuwuzani kuti, ‘Aliyense wa inu asiye ntchito zake zoyipa ndi kukonza makhalidwe ake; musatsatire milungu ina ndi kumayitumikira. Pamenepo mudzakhala mʼdziko limene ndinakupatsani ndi makolo anu.’ Komabe inu simunasamale zimenezi kapena kundimvera Ine.
16 Therefore thus said the Lord: Behold, I [will] cast you off from the face of the earth: this year you shall die.
Zidzukulu za Yehonadabu mwana wa Rekabu zakhala zikumvera lamulo limene kholo lawo anazilamula, koma inuyo simunandimvere Ine.
17 So he died in the seventh month.
“Nʼchifukwa chake Yehova Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli akuti, ‘Ndidzagwetsera pa Yuda ndi pa onse okhala mu Yerusalemu masautso onse amene ndinakonza chifukwa sanandimvere. Ndinawayitana koma iwo sanayankhe.’”
Yeremiya anawuza banja la Arekabu mawu onse a Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli, kuti, “Munamvera lamulo la kholo lanu Yehonadabu ndipo mwatsatira malangizo ake onse ndi kuchita chilichonse chimene anakulamulani.”
Tsono Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli akuti, “Yehonadabu mwana wa Rekabu sadzasowa munthu wonditumikira Ine nthawi zonse.”
