< Jeremiah 15 >
1 Then the LORD said to me, "Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, yet my mind would not be toward this people: cast them out of my sight, and let them go forth.
Kenaka Yehova anandiwuza kuti, “Ngakhale Mose ndi Samueli akanayima pamaso panga kupempherera anthu awa, Ine sindikanawachitira chisoni. Achotseni ndipo ndisawaonenso! Aleke apite!
2 It shall happen, when they tell you, 'Where shall we go forth?' Then you shall tell them, 'Thus says the LORD: "Such as are for death, to death; and such as are for the sword, to the sword; and such as are for the famine, to the famine; and such as are for captivity, to captivity.
Ndipo ngati akufunsa iwe kuti, ‘Kodi tipite kuti?’ uwawuze kuti, ‘Yehova akuti, “‘Oyenera kufa adzafa; oyenera kufa ndi lupanga adzafa ndi lupanga; oyenera kufa ndi njala adzafa ndi njala; oyenera kupita ku ukapolo adzapita ku ukapolo.’
3 I will appoint over them four kinds, says the LORD: the sword to kill, and the dogs to tear, and the birds of the sky, and the animals of the earth, to devour and to destroy.
“Ine ndidzawatumizira mitundu inayi ya zinthu zowononga,” akutero Yehova, “lupanga lowapha, agalu owaluma, mbalame zamumlengalenga ndiponso zirombo zoti ziwadye ndi kuwawononga.
4 I will cause them to be tossed back and forth among all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, for that which he did in Jerusalem.
Ndidzawasandutsa kukhala chinthu chonyansa kwa anthu a maufumu onse a dziko lapansi chifukwa cha zimene Manase mwana wa Hezekiya mfumu ya Yuda anachita mu Yerusalemu.
5 For who will have pity on you, Jerusalem? Or who will bemoan you? Or who will turn aside to ask of your welfare?
“Kodi adzakumvera chisoni ndani, Yerusalemu? Kodi adzakulira ndani? Kodi ndani amene adzapatuka kufunsa za moyo wako?
6 'You have rejected me,' says the LORD, 'you have gone backward:' therefore have I stretched out my hand against you, and destroyed you; I am weary with repenting.
Inu mwandikana Ine,” akutero Yehova. “Inu mukubwererabe mʼmbuyo. Choncho Ine ndidzakukanthani. Ndatopa ndi kukuchitirani chifundo.
7 I have winnowed them with a fan in the gates of the land; I have bereaved them of children, I have destroyed my people; they did not return from their ways.
Ine ndidzakubalalitsani kukuchotsani mʼmizinda ya mʼdzikomo monga mmene amachitira ndi mankhusu popeta ndi lichero. Anthu anga ndinawaliritsa ndi kuwawononga chifukwa sanasinthe makhalidwe awo oyipa.
8 Their widows are increased to me above the sand of the seas; I have brought on them against the mother of the young men a destroyer at noonday; I have made anguish and terror to fall on them suddenly.
Ndinachulukitsa amayi awo amasiye kupambana mchenga wa kunyanja. Amayiwo ndinawawonongera ana awo aamuna dzuwa lili pamutu. Mwadzidzidzi ndinawagwetsera kuwawa mtima ndi mantha.
9 She who has borne seven languishes; she has given up the spirit; her sun is gone down while it was yet day; she has been disappointed and confounded: and their residue will I deliver to the sword before their enemies," says the LORD.
Mayi wa ana asanu ndi awiri wakomoka ndipo akupuma wefuwefu. Dzuwa lake lalowa ukanali usana; anamuchititsa manyazi ndipo wathedwa nzeru. Otsala ndidzawapereka mʼmanja mwa adani awo kuti awaphe ndi lupanga,” akutero Yehova.
10 "Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth. I have not lent, neither have men lent to me; yet everyone of them curses me."
Kalanga ine, amayi pakuti munandibereka ine, munthu amene ndikutsutsana ndi kulimbana ndi anthu pa dziko lonse! Ine sindinakongoze kapena kukongola kanthu, komatu aliyense akunditemberera.
11 The LORD said, "Most certainly I will strengthen you for good; most certainly I will cause the enemy to make petition to you in the time of evil and in the time of distress.
Yehova anati, “Ndithudi, Ine ndidzakulanditsa kuti upeze bwino. Ndithudi, adani ako adzakupempha pa nthawi ya tsoka ndi ya mavuto awo.
12 Can one break iron, even iron from the north, and bronze?
“Palibe munthu amene angathe kudula chitsulo, makamaka chitsulo chochokera kumpoto chosakaniza ndi mkuwa.
13 Your substance and your treasures will I give for a spoil without price, and that for all your sins, even in all your borders.
Anthu ako ndi chuma chako ndidzazipereka kwa ofunkha popanda malipiro, chifukwa cha machimo anu onse a mʼdziko lanu lonse.
14 I will make you serve your enemies in a land which you do not know; for a fire is kindled in my anger, which shall burn on you."
Ndidzakusandutsani akapolo a adani anu mʼdziko limene inu simulidziwa, chifukwa mkwiyo wanga wayaka ngati moto umene udzakutenthani.”
15 "LORD, you know; remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors; do not take me away in your longsuffering: know that for your sake I have suffered reproach.
Ine ndinati, “Inu Yehova, mumadziwa zonse; kumbukireni ndi kundisamalira. Ndilipsireni anthu ondizunza. Ndilezereni mtima musandilande moyo wanga. Onani momwe ndi kuvutikira chifukwa cha Inu.
16 Your words were found, and I ate them; and your words were to me a joy and the rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by your name, LORD, God of hosts.
Munandiyankhula ndipo mawu anu ndinawalandira bwino. Mawu anu anandipatsa chimwemwe ndipo mtima wanga unasangalala. Paja ine, Yehova Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse, ndimadziwika ndi dzina lanu.
17 I did not sit in the assembly of those who make merry, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of your hand; for you have filled me with indignation.
Sindinakhale nawo mʼgulu la anthu amadyera, sindinasangalale nawo anthu amenewo. Ndinakhala ndekha chifukwa choti dzanja lanu linali pa ine ndipo munadzaza mu mtima mwanga ndi mkwiyo.
18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, which refuses to be healed? Will you indeed be to me as a deceitful brook, as waters that fail?"
Nanga nʼchifukwa chiyani mavuto anga sakutha? Bwanji chilonda changa sichikupola? Kodi inu mudzakhala ngati mtsinje wowuma nthawi yachilimwe, kapena ngati kasupe wopanda madzi?”
19 Therefore thus says the LORD, "If you return, then will I bring you again, that you may stand before me; and if you take forth the precious from the vile, you shall be as my mouth: they shall return to you, but you shall not return to them.
Tsono Yehova anandiyankha kuti, “Ukabwerera kwa Ine, ndidzakulandiranso ndipo udzakhalanso mtumiki wanga. Ngati udzayankhula mawu oyenera osati achabechabe, udzakhalanso mneneri wanga. Anthu adzabwera kwa iwe ndipo sipadzafunika kuti iwe upite kwa iwo.
20 I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall; and they shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you; for I am with you to save you and to deliver you," says the LORD.
Ndidzakusandutsa ngati khoma lolimba ngati mkuwa kwa anthu awa. Adzalimbana nawe koma sadzakugonjetsa, pakuti Ine ndili nawe kukulanditsa ndi kukupulumutsa,” akutero Yehova.
21 "I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you out of the hand of the terrible."
“Ndidzakupulumutsa mʼdzanja la anthu oyipa ndipo ndidzakuwombola kwa anthu ankhanza.”
