Jeremiah 44
1 The word which came to Jeremiah, against all the Jews who were dwelling in the land of Egypt, —who were dwelling in Migdol and in Tahpanhes, and in Noph, and in the land of Pathros saying:
Uthenga umene Yeremiya analandira wonena za Ayuda onse amene ankakhala ku Igupto, ku mizinda ya Migidoli, Tapanesi ndi Mefisi, ndiponso ku Patirosi ndi uwu:
2 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Ye yourselves, saw all the calamity which I brought in upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Judah, —and there they are, a desolation this day, and there is not in them an inhabitant:
“Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli akuti: Inu mwaona mavuto aakulu amene ndinawabweretsa pa Yerusalemu ndi mizinda yonse ya Yuda. Lero mizinda yonseyo yasanduka mabwinja, yopanda munthu wokhalamo.
3 because of their wickedness which they committed, provoking me to anger, by going to burn incense, to serve other gods, whom they had not known, they, ye nor your fathers;
Zimenezi zinachitika chifukwa cha zoyipa zomwe anachita. Iwo anaputa mkwiyo wanga pofukiza lubani ndi potumikira milungu ina imene iwo kapena inu ngakhalenso makolo anu sanayidziwe.
4 yet I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, betimes sending them, saying, Do not, I pray you, commit this abominable thing, which I hate!
Kawirikawiri Ine ndakhala ndikutuma atumiki anga, aneneri, amene anati, ‘Musachite chinthu chonyansachi chimene Ine ndimadana nacho!’
5 but they hearkened not neither inclined their ear, by turning from their wickedness, —so as not to burn incense to other gods.
Koma iwo sanamvere kapena kulabadira; sanatembenuke kusiya zoyipa zawo kapena kuleka kufukiza lubani kwa milungu ina.
6 Therefore were mine indignation and mine anger poured out, and a fire was kindled in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, —and they became waste and desolate, as at this day.
Nʼchifukwa chake mkwiyo wanga unayaka ngati moto kutentha mizinda ya ku Yuda ndi misewu ya mu Yerusalemu ndi kuyisandutsa bwinja mpaka lero.
7 Now, therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh God of hosts God of Israel—Wherefore, are ye committing a great wickedness against your own lives, that ye should cut off from you man and woman child and suckling, out of the midst of Judah, —so that there should not be left you a remnant:
“Ndiye tsopano Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli, akunena kuti, ‘Chifukwa chiyani mukufuna kudziwononga chotere? Kodi mukufuna kuti amuna, akazi, ana ndi makanda onse aphedwe ndi kuti mu Yuda musatsale ndi munthu mmodzi yemwe?
8 in that ye provoke me to anger by the works of your own hands, burning incense to other gods, in the land of Egypt, which ye have been entering to sojourn, —that ye should cut them off from you, and that ye should become a contempt and a reproach among all the nations of the earth?
Chifukwa chiyani mukuputa mkwiyo wanga popembedza mafano pofukiza lubani kwa milungu ina mʼdziko lino la Igupto mʼmene mukukhalamo. Kodi mukuchita zimenezi kuti mudziwononge nokha ndi kuti mudzisandutse chinthu choseketsa ndi chonyozeka pakati pa mitundu yonse ya dziko lapansi?
9 Have ye forgotten the wicked ways of your fathers and the wicked ways of the kings of Judah, and the wicked ways of his wives, and your own wicked ways, and the wicked ways of your own wives, —which they committed in the land of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Kodi mwayiwala zoyipa zimene anachita makolo anu, mafumu a ku Yuda ndi akazi awo, ndiponso zoyipa zimene munachita inuyo ndi akazi anu mʼdziko la Yuda ndi mʼmisewu ya mu Yerusalemu?
10 They have not been crushed, unto this day; neither have they been afraid, neither have they walked in my law, and in my statutes, which I set before you and before your fathers,
Koma mpaka lero simunalape. Simunandilemekeze kapena kumvera malamulo anga amene ndinayikira inuyo ndi makolo anu.
11 Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, Behold me! setting my face against you for calamity, —even to cut off all Judah;
“Nʼchifukwa chake Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli akunena kuti, ‘Ine ndatsimikiza zobweretsa mavuto pa inu ndi kuwatheratu anthu a ku Yuda.
12 and I will take the remnant of Judah who did set their faces to enter the land of Egypt to sojourn there, and they shall all be consumed, in the land of Egypt, shall they fall by the sword, by famine, shall they be consumed, from the least even unto the greatest, by sword and by famine, shall they die, —so shall they become a curse, and an astonishment, and a contempt and a reproach;
Ndidzatenga anthu otsala a ku Yuda amene atsimikiza zopita ku Igupto ndi kukakhala kumeneko. Onse adzathera ku Igupto. Adzaphedwa ndi lupanga kapena kufa ndi njala. Kuyambira wamngʼono mpaka wamkulu, adzaphedwa ndi lupanga kapena kufa ndi njala. Adzasanduka chinthu chotembereredwa ndi chochititsa mantha, chinthu choseketsa ndi chonyozeka.
13 and I will bring punishment upon them who are dwelling in the land of Egypt, just as I brought punishment upon Jerusalem, —by sword, by famine and by pestilence;
Ndidzalanga Ayuda okhala ku Igupto ndi lupanga, njala ndi mliri, ngati mmene ndinalangira anthu a ku Yerusalemu.
14 and there shall be neither escape nor survival, unto the remnant of Judah who have been entering, to sojourn there into the land of Egypt, —that they should return to the land of Judah even when they are lifting up their soul to return to dwell there, for none shall return, saving fugitives.
Motero mwa anthu amene anapita ku Igupto palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe adzapulumuke, kapena kukhala ndi moyo, kapena kubwerera ku Yuda. Palibe amene adzabwerere kupatula othawa nkhondo.’”
15 Then all the men who knew that their wives were burning incense to other gods, and all the women standing by, a great convocation, —with all the people who were dwelling in the land of Egypt in Pathros, made answer unto Jeremiah, saying:
Tsono amuna onse amene anadziwa kuti akazi awo ankafukiza lubani kwa milungu ina, ndiponso akazi onse amene anali pamenepo, gulu lalikulu la anthu, pamodzi ndi anthu onse amene amakhala ku Patirosi mʼdziko la Igupto, anati kwa Yeremiya,
16 As touching the word which thou hast spoken unto us, in the name of Yahweh we are not going to hearken unto thee;
“Ife sitimvera uthenga umene watiwuza mʼdzina la Yehova!
17 but, we will certainly do, the whole thing that hath gone forth out of our own mouth, by burning incense to the queen of the heavens, and pouring out to her drink-offerings, just as we and our fathers, and our kings and our princes, did, in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, then were we filled with bread and became prosperous, and calamity, saw we none;
Koma tidzachitadi chilichonse chimene tinanena kuti tidzachita: Tidzafukiza lubani kwa mfumukazi yakumwamba ndipo tidzayipatsa nsembe yachakumwa ngati mmene tinkachitira ifeyo ndi makolo athu, mafumu athu ndi akuluakulu mʼmizinda ya ku Yuda ndi mʼmisewu ya mu Yerusalemu. Nthawi imeneyo ife tinali ndi chakudya chochuluka ndipo tinali pabwino, sitimapeza mavuto.
18 whereas, from the very time we ceased burning incense to the queen of the heavens and pouring out to her drink-offerings, we have lacked everything, —and by sword and by famine, have we been consumed.
Koma kuchokera nthawi imene tinasiya kufukiza lubani ndi kupereka chopereka cha chakumwa kwa mfumukazi yakumwamba, ifeyo takhala tikusowa zinthu ndipo takhala tikuphedwa ndi lupanga ndi kufa ndi njala.”
19 And, though we are burning incense to the queen of the heavens and pouring out to her drink-offerings, is it, without our men that we have made to her sacrificial cakes as images of her and poured out to her, drink-offerings?
Akazi anawonjezera kunena kuti, “Pamene tinkafukiza lubani kwa mfumukazi yakumwamba ndi kuyipatsa chopereka cha chakumwa, kodi suja amuna athu ankavomereza mmene timayipangira mfumukazi yakumwambayo makeke abwino olembapo chinthunzi chake ndi kuyipatsa chopereka cha chakumwa?”
20 Then spake Jeremiah unto all the people, —against the men and against the women, and against all the people who had been making any answer unto him, saying:
Yeremiya atamva kuyankha kumeneku anawawuza kuti,
21 Was it not, the very incense which ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye and your fathers your kings and your princes and the people of the land, was it not those very things, that Yahweh did remember, and that came up on his heart;
“Kodi mukuganiza kuti Yehova nʼkuyiwala kuti inuyo ndi makolo anu, mafumu anu ndi akuluakulu anu, ndiponso anthu onse, munkafukiza lubani kwa mafano a mʼmizinda ya ku Yuda ndi mʼmisewu ya mu Yerusalemu?
22 so that Yahweh could no longer forbear because of the wickedness of your doings, because of the abominations which ye committed, —and your land became a desolation, and an astonishment, and a contempt without inhabitant—as at this day?
Ndiye Yehova sakanathanso kupirira ndi machitidwe anu ndi zonyansa zimene munkachita. Nʼchifukwa chake dziko lanu linasanduka chipululu, chinthu choopsa ndi chotembereredwa. Dziko lopandamo anthu monga zilili lero lino.
23 Because that ye burned incense, and that ye sinned against Yahweh and hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh, and, in his law and in his statutes and in his testimonies, did not walk, for this cause, did this calamity befall you—as at this day.
Mavuto awa akugwerani chifukwa munkafukiza lubani ndipo munkachimwira Yehova pokana kumvera mawu ake ndi kutsatira malamulo ndi malangizo ake.”
24 And Jeremiah said unto all the people, and unto all the women, —Hear ye the word of Yahweh, all Judah, who are in the land of Egypt, —
Kenaka Yeremiya anawuza anthu onse, makamaka akazi kuti, “Imvani mawu a Yehova, anthu onse a ku Yuda amene muli mu Igupto.
25 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, saying, Ye and your wives, have both spoken with your mouth and with your hands, have ye fulfilled saying, We will, certainly perform, our vows which we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of the heavens, and to pour out to her drink-offerings: the women will certainly confirm, your vows, and, certainly perform, your vows.
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli akuti: Inu ndi akazi anu munalonjeza ndi pakamwa panu, ndipo malonjezowo mwakwaniritsa. Inu munanena kuti, ‘Tidzachita zimene tinalonjeza, kufukizira lubani mfumukazi yakumwamba ndi kuyipatsa chopereka cha zakumwa.’ Tsopano chitanitu zimene munalonjezazo! Kwaniritsani malumbiro anu. “Yambani, chitani zimene munalonjeza! Kwaniritsani malumbiro anu!
26 Therefore, hear ye the word of Yahweh, all Judah, who are dwelling in the land of Egypt, —Behold me! I have sworn by my great Name, Saith Yahweh, That my Name shall no more be invoked by the mouth of any man of Judah saying—By the life of My Lord, Yahweh in all the land of Egypt.
Koma imvani mawu a Yehova, inu Ayuda nonse amene mukukhala mu Igupto: Yehova akuti, ‘Ine ndikulumbira mʼdzina langa lopambana kuti palibe wochokera ku Yuda amene akukhala mu Igupto amene adzatchule dzina langa polumbira kuti, ‘Pali Ambuye Yehova wamoyo.’
27 Behold me! watching over them for calamity, and not for blessing, —so shall all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt, be consumed, by sword and by famine until there be an end of them.
Pakuti ndionetsetsa kuti ndiwachitire choyipa, osati chabwino. Anthu a ku Yuda amene akukhala ku Igupto adzaphedwa pa nkhondo. Ena adzafa ndi njala mpaka onse atatheratu.
28 Yet, the fugitives of the sword, shall certainly return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah men easily counted, —that all the remnant of Judah who are entering Egypt to sojourn there, may know, whose word, shall stand, mine or theirs!
Amene adzapulumuke ku lupanga ndi kubwerera ku dziko la Yuda kuchokera ku Igupto adzakhala ochepa kwambiri. Choncho otsala onse a ku Yuda amene anapita kukakhala ku Igupto adzadziwa kuti mawu woona ndi ati, anga kapena awo.
29 And, this, to you, shall be the sign, Declareth Yahweh, that I am about to bring punishment upon you in this place, —that ye may know that my words shall, certainly stand against you, for calamity:
“Ine Yehova ndikukupatsani chizindikiro chakuti ndidzakulangani ku malo ano. Motero mudzadziwa kuti mawu anga akuti ndidzakulangani ndi woona.
30 Thus, saith Yahweh, Behold me! delivering up Pharaoh-hophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, yea into the hand of them who are seeking his life, —just as I delivered Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon his enemy, and one seeking his life.
Yehova akuti, ‘Ine ndidzamupereka Farao Hofira mfumu ya Igupto kwa adani ake amene akufuna kumupha, monga momwe ndinaperekera Zedekiya mfumu ya Yuda kwa Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni, mdani wake amene ankafuna kumupha.’”
