Jeremiah 16
1 The word of the LORD came also to me, saying,
Kenaka Yehova anandiwuza kuti,
2 "You shall not take a wife, neither shall you have sons or daughters, in this place.
“Usadzakwatire ndi kubereka ana aamuna kapena aakazi malo ano
3 For thus says the LORD concerning the sons and concerning the daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them, and concerning their fathers who became their father in this land:
pakuti ana aamuna ndi ana aakazi obadwira mʼdziko muno, komanso amayi awo ndi abambo awo amene anabereka anawo mʼdziko muno,
4 They shall die grievous deaths: they shall not be lamented, neither shall they be buried; they shall be as dung on the surface of the ground; and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their dead bodies shall be food for the birds of the sky, and for the animals of the earth.
adzafa ndi nthenda zoopsa. Sadzawalira maliro kapena kuyikidwa mʼmanda koma adzakhala ngati ndowe zotayikira pansi. Ena adzaphedwa ku nkhondo ndipo ena adzafa ndi njala. Mitembo yawo idzakhala chakudya cha mbalame zamlengalenga ndi zirombo zakuthengo.”
5 For thus says the LORD, 'Do not enter into the house of mourning, neither go to lament, neither bemoan them; for I have taken away my peace from this people, says the LORD, even loving kindness and tender mercies.
Yehova akuti, “Usalowe mʼnyumba ya maliro; usapite kukalira maliro kapena kukapepesa, chifukwa Ine ndawachotsera madalitso anga, chikondi changa ndi chifundo changa.”
6 Both great and small shall die in this land; they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them;
Akuluakulu ndi angʼonoangʼono omwe adzafa mʼdziko muno. Sadzayikidwa mʼmanda kapena kuliridwa, ndipo palibe amene adzaonetse chisoni podzichekacheka kapena kumeta tsitsi lake chifukwa cha iwo.
7 neither shall men break bread for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
Palibe amene adzapereka chakudya kutonthoza amene akulira maliro, ngakhale kuti womwalirayo ndi abambo ake kapena amayi ake.
8 You shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and to drink.
“Ndipo usalowe mʼnyumba mmene muli madyerero, nʼkukhala pansi ndi kudya ndi kumwa nawo.
9 For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Look, I will cause to cease out of this place, before your eyes and in your days, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.
Pakuti Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli akunena kuti, ‘Pa nthawi yanu, inu mukuona ndidzathetsa mawu achimwemwe ndi achisangalalo ndiponso mawu a mkwati ndi mkwatibwi pa malo ano.’
10 It shall happen, when you shall show this people all these words, and they shall tell you, 'Why has the LORD pronounced all this great evil against us? Or what is our iniquity? Or what is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?'
“Ukawawuza anthu awa zinthu zonsezi akakufunsa kuti, ‘Chifukwa chiyani Yehova wanena kuti tsoka lalikulu lotere lidzatigwere? Kodi talakwa chiyani? Kodi tamuchimwira tchimo lotani Yehova Mulungu wathu?’
11 Then you shall tell them, 'Because your fathers have forsaken me, says the LORD, and have walked after other gods, and have served them, and have worshiped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;
Pamenepo ukawawuze kuti, ‘Nʼchifukwa chakuti makolo anu anandisiya Ine,’ akutero Yehova, ‘ndi kutsatira milungu ina, kuyitumikira ndi kuyipembedza. Iwo anandisiya Ine ndipo sanasunge lamulo langa.
12 and you have done evil more than your fathers; for, look, you walk every one after the stubbornness of his evil heart, so that you do not listen to me:
Komanso inu munachimwa kwambiri kupambana makolo anu. Aliyense wa inu akutsatira zoyipa ndi mtima wake wokanikawo mʼmalo mondimvera Ine.
13 therefore I will cast you forth out of this land into the land that you have not known, neither you nor your fathers; and there you shall serve other gods day and night; for I will show you no favor.'
Choncho Ine ndidzakubalalitsani mʼdziko muno ndi kukulowetsani mʼdziko limene inu ndi makolo anu simunalidziwe. Kumeneko mukatumikira milungu ina usana ndi usiku, ndipo sadzakuchitirani chifundo.’”
14 Therefore look, the days come," says the LORD, "that it shall no more be said, 'As the LORD lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;'
Yehova akuti, “Komabe masiku akubwera pamene anthu polumbira sadzatinso, ‘Pali Yehova wamoyo, amene anatulutsa Aisraeli mʼdziko la Igupto,’
15 but, 'As the LORD lives, who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the countries where he had driven them.' I will bring them again into their land that I gave to their fathers.
koma adzanena kuti, ‘Pali Yehova wamoyo, amene anatulutsa Aisraeli ku dziko lakumpoto, ndi ku mayiko onse kumene anawabalalitsirako.’ Pakuti ndidzawabwezera ku dziko limene ndinalipereka kwa makolo awo.”
16 Look, I will send for many fishermen," says the LORD, "and they shall fish them up; and afterward I will send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the clefts of the rocks.
Yehova akuti, “Koma tsopano ndidzayitana adani okhala ngati asodzi ambiri, ndipo adzawagwira ngati nsomba. Izi zitatha adani enanso okhala ngati alenje ambiri, adzawasaka pa phiri lililonse, pa chitunda chilichonse ndiponso mʼmapanga onse a mʼmatanthwe.
17 For my eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from my face, neither is their iniquity concealed from my eyes.
Maso anga akuona makhalidwe awo onse; sanabisike pamaso panga. Palibe tchimo limene sindikulidziwa.
18 First I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double, because they have polluted my land with the carcasses of their detestable things, and have filled my inheritance with their abominations."
Ndidzawalanga mowirikiza chifukwa cha kuyipa kwawo ndi tchimo lawo. Ndidzatero chifukwa ayipitsa dziko langa ndi mafano awo amene ali ngati mitembo, ndiponso adzaza cholowa changa ndi mafano awo onyansa.”
19 "LORD, my strength, and my stronghold, and my refuge in the day of affliction, to you shall the nations come from the farthest parts of the earth, and shall say, 'Our fathers have inherited nothing but lies, vanity and things in which there is no profit.
Inu Yehova, ndinu mphamvu yanga ndi linga langa, pothawirapo panga nthawi ya masautso, anthu a mitundu yonse adzabwera kwa Inu kuchokera ku mathero onse a dziko lapansi ndipo adzanena kuti, “Makolo anthu anali ndi milungu yonama, anali ndi mafano achabechabe amene sanawathandize.
20 Shall a man make to himself gods, which yet are no gods?'"
Kodi anthu nʼkudzipangira milungu? Atati atero ndiye kuti imeneyo ikhala milungu yachabechabe.”
21 "Therefore look, I will cause them to know, this once will I cause them to know my hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is the LORD.
“Choncho Ine ndidzawaphunzitsa, kokha kano kuti adziwe za mphamvu yanga ndi za nyonga zanga. Pamenepo adzadziwa kuti dzina langa ndi Yehova.
