Jeremiah 20
1 Now Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief officer in the house of YHWH, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things.
Wansembe Pasuri mwana wa Imeri, woyangʼanira wamkulu wa Nyumba ya Yehova, anamva Yeremiya akulosera zinthu zimenezi.
2 Then Pashhur struck Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the Upper Gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of YHWH.
Tsono iye analamula kuti mneneri Yeremiyayo amenyedwe ndi kuyikidwa mʼndende pa Chipata chakumtunda kwa Benjamini ku Nyumba ya Yehova.
3 It happened on the next day, that Pashhur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, "YHWH has not called your name 'Pashhur,' but 'Magor-Missabib.'
Mmawa mwake, Pasuri anatulutsa Yeremiya mʼndende, ndipo Yeremiyayo anamuwuza kuti, “Pasuri, Yehova sadzakutchulanso dzina lako kuti Pasuri koma Zoopsa pa Mbali Zonse.
4 For thus says YHWH, 'Look, I will make you a terror to yourself, and to all your friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes shall see it; and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive to Babylon, and shall kill them with the sword.
Pakuti Yehova akuti, ‘Ndidzakusandutsa choopsa kwa mwiniwakewe ndi kwa abwenzi ako onse; iweyo ukuona. Anthu a ku Yuda ndidzawapereka onse mʼmanja mwa mfumu ya ku Babuloni. Ena adzatengedwa ukapolo ku Babuloni ndipo ena adzaphedwa pa nkhondo.
5 Moreover I will give all the riches of this city, and all its gains, and all the precious things of it, yes, all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies; and they shall make them a prey, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.
Ndidzapereka kwa adani awo chuma chonse cha mu mzinda uno, phindu lonse la ntchito yake, zinthu zake zonse za mtengowapatali ndiponso katundu yense wa mafumu a ku Yuda. Iwo adzazitenga monga zinthu zolanda ku nkhondo ndi kupita nazo ku Babuloni.
6 You, Pashhur, and all who dwell in your house shall go into captivity; and you shall come to Babylon, and there you shall die, and there you shall be buried, you, and all your friends, to whom you have prophesied falsely.'"
Ndipo iwe, Pasuri, pamodzi ndi onse a pa banja pako mudzapita ku ukapolo ku Babuloni. Mudzafera kumeneko ndi kuyikidwa mʼmanda, iweyo pamodzi ndi abwenzi ako amene unawalosera zabodza.’”
7 YHWH, you have persuaded me, and I was persuaded. You are stronger than I am, and have prevailed. I have become a laughing-stock all day long; everyone mocks me.
Inu Yehova, mwandinamiza, ndipo ndinapusadi; Inu ndi wamphamvu kuposa ine ndipo munandipambana. Anthu akundinyoza tsiku lonse. Aliyense akundiseka kosalekeza.
8 For as often as I speak, I cry out; I cry, "Violence and destruction." because the word of YHWH is made a reproach to me, and a derision, all the day.
Nthawi iliyonse ndikamayankhula, ndimafuwula kunena kuti, ziwawa kuno! Tikuwonongeka! Mawu anu Yehova andisandutsa chinthu chonyozeka ndipo ndimachitidwa chipongwe tsiku lonse.
9 If I say, "I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name," then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with forbearing, and I can't contain it.
Koma ndikanena kuti, “Sindidzalalikiranso za Iye kapena kuyankhulanso mʼdzina lake,” mawu anu amayaka ngati moto mu mtima mwanga, amakhaladi ngati moto wotsekeredwa mʼmafupa anga. Ndapirira kusunga mawu anu mu mtima mwanga osawatulutsa, koma sindingathe kupirirabe.
10 For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side. "Denounce, and we will denounce him," say all my familiar friends, those who watch for my fall; "perhaps he will be persuaded, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall take our revenge on him."
Ndimamva anthu ambiri akunongʼona kuti, “Zoopsa ku mbali zonse! Kamunenezeni! Tiyeni tikamuneneze!” Onse amene anali abwenzi anga akuyembekezera kuti ndigwa pansi, akumanena kuti, “Mwina mwake adzanyengedwa; tidzamugwira ndi kulipsira pa iye.”
11 But YHWH is with me as an awesome mighty one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail; they shall be utterly disappointed, because they have not dealt wisely, even with an everlasting dishonor which shall never be forgotten.
Koma Yehova ali nane, ndiye wankhondo wamphamvu. Nʼchifukwa chake ondizunza adzalephera ndipo sadzandipambana. Adzachita manyazi kwambiri chifukwa sadzapambana. Manyazi awo sadzayiwalika konse.
12 But, YHWH of hosts, who tests the righteous, who sees the heart and the mind, let me see your vengeance on them; for to you have I revealed my cause.
Inu Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Inu amene mumayesa anthu molungama ndipo mupenya za mu mtima mwa munthu. Ndiloleni kuti ndione kuti mwalipsira adani anga popeza ndapereka mlandu wanga kwa Inu.
13 Sing to YHWH, praise YHWH; for he has delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.
Imbirani Yehova! Mutamandeni Yehova! Iye amapulumutsa wosauka mʼmanja mwa anthu oyipa.
14 Cursed is the day in which I was born: do not let the day in which my mother bore me be blessed.
Litembereredwe tsiku limene ndinabadwa! Tsiku limene amayi anga anandibereka lisatamandidwe!
15 Cursed is the man who brought news to my father, saying, A boy is born to you; making him very glad.
Wotembereredwa munthu amene anapita kukasangalatsa abambo anga ndi uthenga woti: “Kwabadwa mwana wamwamuna!”
16 Let that man be as the cities which YHWH overthrew, and did not repent: and let him hear a cry in the morning, and shouting at noontime;
Munthu ameneyo akhale ngati mizinda imene Yehova anayiwononga mopanda chisoni. Amve mfuwu mmawa, phokoso la nkhondo masana.
17 because he did not kill me from the womb; and so my mother would have been my grave, and her womb always great.
Chifukwa sanandiphere mʼmimba, kuti amayi anga asanduke manda anga, mimba yawo ikhale yayikulu mpaka kalekale.
18 Why came I forth out of the womb to see labor and sorrow, that my days should be consumed with shame?
Kodi ndinabadwira mavuto ndi chisoni kuti moyo wanga ukhale wamanyazi wokhawokha?
