< Jeremiah 12 >
1 [are] righteous You O Yahweh if I bring a case to you nevertheless judgments I will speak with you why? [the] way of wicked [people] does it prosper are they at ease? all [those who] act treacherously of treachery.
Yehova, Inu mumakhala wokhoza nthawi zonse ndikati nditsutsane nanu. Komabe ndikufuna kuyankhula nanu za mlandu wanga. Chifukwa chiyani anthu oyipa zinthu zimawayendera bwino? Chifukwa chiyani anthu achinyengo amakhala pabwino?
2 You have planted them also they have taken root they walk also they have produced fruit [are] near you in mouth their and distant from kidneys their.
Inu munawadzala ndipo anamera mizu; amakula ndi kubereka zipatso. Dzina lanu limakhala pakamwa pawo nthawi zonse, koma mitima yawo imakhala kutali ndi Inu.
3 And you O Yahweh you know me you see me and you test heart my with you drag away them like sheep to slaughter and set apart them to a day of slaughter.
Koma Inu Yehova, ine mumandidziwa; mumandiona ndipo mumayesa zolingalira zanga. Akokeni anthu oyipawo ngati nkhosa zokaphedwa! Ayikeni padera mpaka tsiku loti akaphedwe!
4 Until when? will it dry up the land and [the] vegetation of every field will it be dried up from [the] evil of [those who] dwell in it it has dwindled away animals and bird[s] for people have said not he will see end our.
Kodi dziko lidzakhala likulirabe mpaka liti ndipo udzu mʼmunda uliwonse udzakhalabe ofota mpaka liti? Nyama ndi mbalame kulibiretu chifukwa anthu amene amakhalamo ndi oyipa. Iwo amati: “Yehova sangathe kuona ntchito zathu.”
5 If with foot soldiers - you have run and they have made weary you and how? will you compete with the horses and in a land of safety you [are] falling to [the] ground and how? will you do in [the] thicket of the Jordan.
Yehova anayankha kuti, “Ngati kukutopetsa kuthamanga pamodzi ndi anthu nanga ungapikisane bwanji ndi akavalo? Ngati ukupunthwa ndi kugwa pa malo abwino, udzatha bwanji kuthamanga mʼnkhalango za ku Yorodani?
6 For also brothers your and [the] house of father your also they they have dealt treacherously with you also they they have called out after you full may not you trust in them for they speak to you good things.
Ngakhale abale ako ndi anansi akuwukira, onsewo amvana zokuyimba mlandu. Usawakhulupirire, ngakhale ayankhule zabwino ndi iwe.
7 I have forsaken house my I have abandoned inheritance my I have given [the] beloved one of self my in [the] hand enemies her.
“Ine ndawasiya anthu anga; anthu amene ndinawasankha ndawataya. Ndapereka okondedwa anga mʼmanja mwa adani awo.
8 It has become to me inheritance my like a lion in the forest it has given on me with voice its there-fore I hate it.
Anthu amene ndinawasankha asanduka ngati mkango wa mʼnkhalango. Akundibangulira mwaukali; nʼchifukwa chake Ine ndikudana nawo.
9 ¿ A bird of prey speckled [is] inheritance my to me that [are] bird[s] of prey? all around on it go gather every animal of the field bring [them] for food.
Anthu anga amene ndinawasankha asanduka ngati mbalame yolusa yamawangamawanga imene akabawi ayizinga. Pitani, kasonkhanitseni nyama zakuthengo. Mubwere nazo kuti zidzadye mbalameyo.
10 Shepherds many they have ruined vineyard my they have trodden down portion my they have made [the] portion of desire my into a wilderness of desolation.
Abusa ambiri anawononga munda wanga wa mpesa, anapondereza munda wanga; munda wanga wabwino uja anawusandutsa chipululu.
11 He has made it into a desolation it is in mourning on me desolate it has been made desolate all the land for there not [is] anyone [who] puts [it] on heart.
Unawusandutsadi chipululu. Ukanali wokhawokha chomwecho ukundilirira Ine. Dziko lonse lasanduka chipululu chifukwa palibe wolisamalira.
12 Over all [the] bare heights in the wilderness they have come destroyers for a sword of Yahweh [is] devouring from an end of [the] land and to [the] end of the land not peace [belongs] to any flesh.
Anthu onse owononga abalalikira ku zitunda zonse za mʼchipululu. Yehova watuma ankhondo ake kudzawatha kuyambira kumalire ena a dziko mpaka ku malire enanso a dziko, ndipo palibe amene adzakhale pa mtendere.
13 People have sown wheat and thorns they have reaped they have wearied themselves not they have profited and be ashamed from produce your from [the] burning of [the] anger of Yahweh.
Anthu anafesa tirigu koma anatuta minga; anadzitopetsa kugwira ntchito koma osapeza phindu lililonse. Choncho mudzachita manyazi ndi zokolola zanu chifukwa cha mkwiyo wa Yehova.”
14 Thus - he says Yahweh on all neighbors my evil who touch the inheritance which I gave as an inheritance people my Israel here I [am] about to pluck up them from on land their and [the] house of Judah I will pluck up from among them.
“Anthu oyipa oyandikana ndi anthu anga Aisraeli, akuwalanda Aisraeliwo dziko, cholowa chimene ndinawapatsa. Nʼchifukwa chake ndidzawachotsa mʼdziko limenelo, ndipo ndidzachotsa banja la Yuda pakati pawo.
15 And it will be after have plucked up I them I will return and I will have compassion on them and I will bring back them everyone to own inheritance his and everyone to own land his.
Komabe nditawachotsa, ndidzawachitiranso chifundo, ndipo ndidzabwezera aliyense cholowa chake ndi dziko lake.
16 And it will be certainly [if] they will learn [the] ways of people my to swear by name my [by] [the] life of Yahweh just as they taught people my to swear by Baal and they will be built in among people my.
Ndipo ngati iwo adzaphunzira bwino njira za anthu anga ndi kulumbira mʼdzina langa, namanena kuti, ‘Pali Yehova wamoyo,’ monga iwo anaphunzitsira anthu anga kulumbira mʼdzina la Baala, Ine ndidzawakhazikitsa pakati pa anthu anga.
17 And if not they will listen and I will pluck up the nation that plucking up and destroying [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Koma ngati mtundu wina uliwonse sudzamvera, Ine ndidzawuchotsa ndi kuwuwonongeratu,” akutero Yehova.
