Jeremiah 25
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah—it [is] the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon—
Yehova anayankhula ndi Yeremiya za anthu onse a ku Yuda mʼchaka chachinayi cha ufumu wa Yehoyakimu mwana wa Yosiya mfumu ya ku Yuda, chimene chinali chaka choyamba cha ufumu wa Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni.
2 Which Jeremiah the prophet has spoken concerning all the people of Judah, even to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying,
Choncho mneneri Yeremiya anawuza anthu onse a ku Yuda pamodzi ndi onse amene amakhala mu Yerusalemu kuti:
3 “From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah, and to this day—this twenty-third year—the word of YHWH has been to me, and I speak to you, rising early and speaking, and you have not listened;
Kwa zaka 23, kuyambira chaka cha 13 cha ufumu wa Yosiya mwana wa Amoni mfumu ya ku Yuda mpaka lero lino, Yehova wakhala akundipatsa mauthenga ake ndipo ine ndakhala ndikuyankhula ndi inu kawirikawiri, koma inu simunamvere.
4 and YHWH has sent all His servants to you, the prophets, rising early and sending, and you have not listened, nor inclined your ear to hear, saying,
Ndipo ngakhale Yehova kawirikawiri wakhala akukutumizirani atumiki ake onse, aneneri, inuyo simunamvere kapena kutchera khutu.
5 Please turn back, each from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell on the ground that YHWH has given to you and to your fathers from age to age,
Aneneriwo ankanena kuti, “Ngati aliyense wa inu abwerere, kusiya njira zake zoyipa ndi machitidwe ake oyipa, ndiye kuti mudzakhala mʼdziko limene Yehova anapereka kwa makolo anu kwamuyaya.
6 and you do not go after other gods to serve them, and to bow yourselves to them, nor do you provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands, and I do no evil to you;
Musatsatire milungu ina nʼkuyitumikira ndi kuyipembedza. Musapute mkwiyo wanga ndi mafano amene mwapanga ndi manja anu. Mukatero Ine sindidzakuwonongani.
7 and you have not listened to Me,” a declaration of YHWH, “so as to provoke Me to anger with the work of your hands for evil to you.
“Koma inu simunandimvere,” akutero Yehova, “ndipo munaputa mkwiyo wanga ndi mafano amene munapanga ndi manja anu. Choncho munadziwononga nokha.”
8 Therefore, thus said YHWH of Hosts: Because that you have not obeyed My words,
Nʼchifukwa chake Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, “Chifukwa simunamvere mawu anga,
9 behold, I am sending, and have taken all the families of the north—a declaration of YHWH—even to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, My servant, and have brought them in against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these surrounding nations, and have devoted them, and appointed them for an astonishment, and for a hissing, and for continuous ruins.
ndidzayitana mafuko onse akumpoto, pamodzi ndi mtumiki wanga Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni,” akutero Yehova, “ndipo adzathira nkhondo dziko lino ndi anthu ake pamodzi ndi mitundu yonse ya anthu ozungulira dzikoli. Ndidzawawononga kwathunthu ndi kuwasandutsa chinthu chochititsa mantha ndi chonyozeka, mpaka muyaya.
10 And I have destroyed from them the voice of rejoicing, and the voice of joy, voice of bridegroom and voice of bride, noise of millstones, and the light of lamps.
Ndidzathetsa mfuwu wachimwemwe ndi wachisangalalo, mawu a mkwati ndi mkwatibwi, phokoso la mphero ndi kuwala kwa nyale.
11 And all this land has been for a desolation, for an astonishment, and these nations have served the king of Babylon seventy years.
Dziko lonse lidzakhala bwinja ndi chipululu, ndipo mitundu ina idzatumikira mfumu ya ku Babuloni kwa 70.
12 And it has come to pass, at the fullness of seventy years, I charge against the king of Babylon, and against that nation,” a declaration of YHWH, “their iniquity, and against the land of the Chaldeans, and have appointed it for continuous desolations.
“Koma zaka 70 zikadzatha, ndidzalanga mfumu ya ku Babuloni pamodzi ndi anthu ake, chifukwa cha zolakwa zawo,” akutero Yehova, “ndipo dziko lawo lidzakhala chipululu mpaka muyaya.
13 And I have brought in on that land all My words that I have spoken against it, all that is written in this scroll, that Jeremiah has prophesied concerning all the nations.
Ndidzachita zinthu zonse zimene ndinayankhula zotsutsa dzikolo, zonse zimene zalembedwa mʼbuku lino, ndiponso zonse zimene Yeremiya analosera zotsutsa anthu amenewa.
14 For laid service on them—also them—have many nations and great kings, and I have given repayment to them according to their doing, and according to the work of their hands.”
Iwo eni adzakhala akapolo a anthu a mitundu yochuluka ndi mafumu amphamvu. Ndidzawabwezera molingana ndi zochita zawo ndi ntchito za manja awo.”
15 For thus said YHWH, God of Israel, to me: “Take the wine cup of this fury out of My hand, and you have caused all the nations to drink it to whom I am sending you;
Yehova, Mulungu wa Israeli, anandiwuza kuti, “Tenga chikho ichi chodzaza ndi vinyo wa ukali wanga, ndipo ukamwetse anthu a mitundu yonse kumene ndikukutuma.
16 and they have drunk, and shaken themselves and shown themselves [to be] foolish, because of the sword that I am sending among them.”
Akadzamwa adzayamba kudzandira ndi kuchita misala chifukwa cha nkhondo imene ndikuyitumiza pakati pawo.”
17 And I take the cup out of the hand of YHWH, and cause all the nations to drink to whom YHWH sent me:
Choncho ine ndinatenga chikhocho mʼdzanja la Yehova ndipo ndinamwetsa mitundu yonse ya anthu kumene Iye ananditumako:
18 Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, And its kings, its heads, To give them to ruin, to astonishment, To hissing, and to reviling, as [at] this day;
Anandituma ku Yerusalemu ndi ku mizinda ya Yuda, kwa mafumu ake ndi nduna zake kuti ndikawasandutse ngati bwinja ndi chinthu chochititsa mantha ndi chonyozeka ndiponso chotembereredwa, monga mmene alili lero lino.
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt, and his servants, And his heads, and all his people,
Ananditumanso kwa Farao, mfumu ya ku Igupto, kwa atumiki ake, nduna zake ndi kwa anthu ake onse,
20 And all the mixed people, And all the kings of the land of Uz, And all the kings of the land of the Philistines, And Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, And the remnant of Ashdod,
ndi kwa anthu ena onse a mitundu yachilendo; mafumu onse a ku Uzi; mafumu onse a Afilisti, a ku Asikeloni, ku Gaza, ku Ekroni ndiponso kwa anthu a ku chigwa chotsala cha Asidodi;
21 Edom, and Moab, and the sons of Ammon,
Edomu, Mowabu ndi Amoni.
22 And all the kings of Tyre, And all the kings of Sidon, And the kings of the island that [is] beyond the sea,
Ananditumanso kwa mafumu onse a ku Turo ndi ku Sidoni; kwa mafumu a kutsidya la nyanja;
23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, And all cutting the corners [of the beard],
ku Dedani, ku Tema, ku Buzi ndi kwa onse ometa chamʼmbali.
24 And all the kings of Arabia, And all the kings of the mixed people, Who are dwelling in the wilderness,
Ananditumanso kwa mafumu onse a ku Arabiya ndi mafumu onse a anthu achilendo amene amakhala mʼchipululu.
25 And all the kings of Zimri, And all the kings of Elam, And all the kings of Media,
Anandituma kwa mafumu onse a ku Zimuri, Elamu ndi Mediya;
26 And all the kings of the north, The near and the far off to one another, And all the kingdoms of the earth, That [are] on the face of the ground, And King Sheshach drinks after them.
ndiponso kwa mafumu onse a kumpoto, akufupi ndi kutali omwe, mafumu onse a dziko lapansi. Ndipo potsiriza pake, idzamwenso ndi mfumu Sesaki.
27 “And you have said to them, Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: Drink, indeed drink abundantly, And vomit, and fall, and do not rise, Because of the sword that I am sending among you.
“Ndipo uwawuze kuti, ‘Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli akuti: Imwani, ledzerani ndipo musanze, mugwe osadzukanso chifukwa cha nkhondo imene ndikutumiza pakati panu.’
28 And it has come to pass, When they refuse to receive the cup out of your hand to drink, That you have said to them, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: You certainly drink.
Koma ngati akana kutenga chikhocho mʼdzanja lako ndi kumwa, uwawuze kuti, ‘Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti: Muyenera kumwa ndithu!’”
29 For behold, in the city over which My Name is called, I am beginning to bring ruin, And are you entirely acquitted? You are not acquitted, for I am proclaiming a sword, For all inhabitants of the land,” A declaration of YHWH of Hosts.
Taonani, tsopano ndiyamba kulanga mzinda uno umene umadziwika ndi dzina langa. Kodi inu muganiza kuti simudzalangidwa? Ayi, simudzapulumuka chifukwa ndikutumiza nkhondo pa onse okhala pa dziko lapansi, akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
30 “And you, you prophesy all these words to them, and have said to them: YHWH roars from the high place, And gives forth His voice from His holy habitation, He surely roars for His habitation, A shout as those treading [the grapes], God answers all the inhabitants of the land,
“Tsopano iwe nenera mawu owatsutsa ndipo uwawuze kuti, “‘Yehova adzabangula kumwamba; mawu ake adzamveka ngati bingu kuchokera ku malo ake opatulika. Adzabangula mwamphamvu kukalipira dziko lake. Iye adzafuwula ngati anthu oponda mphesa, kukalipira onse amene akukhala pa dziko lapansi.
31 A rumbling has come to the end of the earth, For YHWH has a controversy with nations, He has executed judgment for all flesh, He has given the wicked to the sword,” A declaration of YHWH.
Phokoso lalikulu lidzamveka mpaka kumalekezero a dziko lonse lapansi, chifukwa Yehova adzazenga mlandu anthu a mitundu yonse; adzaweruza mtundu wonse wa anthu ndipo oyipa adzawapha ndi lupanga,’” akutero Yehova.
32 Thus said YHWH of Hosts: “Behold, evil is going out from nation to nation, And a great whirlwind is stirred up from the sides of the earth.
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, “Taonani! Mavuto akuti akachoka pa mtundu wina akukagwa pa mtundu wina; mphepo ya mkuntho ikuyambira ku malekezero a dziko.”
33 And the pierced of YHWH have been in that day, From the end of the earth even to the end of the earth, They are not lamented, nor gathered, nor buried, For they are dung on the face of the ground.
Pa tsiku limenelo, onse ophedwa ndi Yehova adzangoti mbwee ponseponse, pa dziko lonse lapansi. Palibe amene adzawalire kapena kusonkhanitsa mitemboyo kuti ikayikidwe mʼmanda, koma idzakhala mbwee ngati ndowe.
34 Howl, you shepherds, and cry, And roll yourselves, you majestic of the flock, For your days have been full For slaughtering, and [for] your scatterings, And you have fallen as a desirable vessel.
Khetsani misozi ndi kufuwula mwamphamvu, abusa inu; gubudukani pa fumbi, inu atsogoleri a nkhosa. Pakuti nthawi yanu yophedwa yafika; mudzagwa ndi kuphwanyika ngati mbiya yabwino kwambiri.
35 And refuge has perished from the shepherds, And escape from the majestic of the flock.
Abusa adzasowa kothawira, atsogoleri a nkhosa adzasowa malo opulumukira.
36 A voice of the cry of the shepherds, And a howling of the majestic of the flock, For YHWH is spoiling their pasture.
Imvani kulira kwa abusa, atsogoleri a nkhosa akulira, chifukwa Yehova akuwononga msipu wawo.
37 And the peaceable habitations have been cut down, Because of the fierceness of the anger of YHWH.
Makola awo a nkhosa amene anali pamtendere adzasanduka bwinja chifukwa cha mkwiyo woopsa wa Yehova.
38 He has forsaken His covert as a young lion, Surely their land has become a desolation, Because of the oppressing fierceness, And because of the fierceness of His anger!”
Ngati mkango, Yehova wasiya phanga lake, pakuti dziko lawo lasanduka chipululu chifukwa cha nkhondo ya owazunza ndiponso chifukwa cha mkwiyo woopsa wa Yehova.
