< Jeremiah 51 >
1 Thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to rouse on Babylon and against [the] inhabitants Leb-qamai a wind a destroyer.
Yehova akuti, “Taonani, ndidzadzutsa mphepo yowononga kuti iwononge Babuloni pamodzi ndi anthu a ku Lebi Kamai.
2 And I will send to Babylon - strangers and they will winnow it and they may lay waste land its for they will be on it from round about on [the] day of calamity.
Ndidzatuma alendo ku Babuloni kudzamupeta ndi kuwononga dziko lake kotheratu. Iwo adzalimbana naye ku mbali zonse pa tsiku la masautso ake.
3 May not he bend (*Q(K)*) the [one] bending bow his and may not he lift in armor his and may not you spare young men its totally destroy all army its.
Okoka uta musawalekerere kapena wonyadira chovala chawo chankhondo. Musawasiye anyamata ake kuti akhale ndi moyo; koma muwononge ankhondo ake kotheratu.
4 And they will fall slain in [the] land of [the] Chaldeans and pierced through in streets its.
Adzavulazidwa ndi kufera mʼdziko la Babuloni lomwelo ndi mʼmisewu yawo yomwe.
5 For not [is] forsaken Israel and Judah from God its from Yahweh of hosts for land their it is full guilt from [the] holy [one] of Israel.
Pakuti Yuda ndi Israeli sanasiyidwe ngati amasiye ndi Mulungu wawo, Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, koma ngakhale dziko la Babuloni ndi lodzaza ndi machimo pamaso pa Woyerayo wa Israeli.
6 Flee - from [the] midst of Babylon and save everyone life his may not you be destroyed in iniquity its for [is] a time of vengeance it for Yahweh recompense he [is] about to repay to it.
“Thawaniko ku Babuloni! Aliyense apulumutse moyo wake! Musawonongeke naye pamodzi chifukwa cha machimo ake. Imeneyi ndi nthawi yoti Yehova amulange; Yehova adzamulipsira.
7 [was] a cup of Gold Babylon in [the] hand of Yahweh making drunk all the earth some of wine its they have drunk nations there-fore they are acting like mad people nations.
Babuloni anali ngati chikho cha golide mʼdzanja la Yehova; kuti aledzeretse dziko lonse lapansi. Mitundu yambiri ya anthu inamwa vinyo wake; nʼchifukwa chake tsopano inachita misala.
8 Suddenly it will fall Babylon and it was broken wail on it get balm for pain its perhaps it will be healed.
Babuloni wagwa mwadzidzidzi ndi kusweka. Mulireni! Mfunireni mankhwala opha ululu wake; mwina iye nʼkuchira.”
9 (We healed *Q(k)*) Babylon and not it was healed leave it so we may go everyone to own land his for it has reached to the heavens judgment its and it has been lifted up to [the] clouds.
Ena anati, “‘Ife tinayesa kumupatsa mankhwala Babuloni, koma sanachire; tiyeni timusiye ndipo aliyense apite ku dziko la kwawo, pakuti mlandu wake wafika mpaka mlengalenga, wafika mpaka kumwamba.’
10 He has brought forth Yahweh righteousness our come so let us recount in Zion [the] work of Yahweh God our.
“‘Yehova waonetsa poyera kuti ndife osalakwa; tiyeni tilengeze mu Ziyoni zimene Yehova Mulungu wathu wachita.’
11 Sharpen the arrows fill the shields he has roused Yahweh [the] spirit of [the] kings of Media for on Babylon purpose his [is] to destroy it for [is] [the] vengeance of Yahweh it [the] vengeance of temple his.
“Yehova wadzutsa mitima ya mafumu a Amedi, popeza cholinga chake ndi kuwononga Babuloni. Motero adzalipsira Ababuloni chifukwa chowononga Nyumba yake. Ndiye Yehova akuti, ‘Nolani mivi, tengani zishango.’
12 Against [the] walls of Babylon lift up a standard strengthen the watch station watchmen prepare the ambushers for both he has purposed Yahweh as well as he will do [that] which he spoke concerning [the] inhabitants of Babylon.
Kwezani mbendera yankhondo kuti muwononge malinga a Babuloni! Limbitsani oteteza, ikani alonda pa malo awo, konzekerani kulalira. Pakuti Yehova watsimikiza ndipo adzachitadi zomwe ananena za anthu a ku Babuloni.
13 (O [one who] dwells *Q(k)*) at waters many greatness of treasures it has come end your [the] cubit of cutting off your.
Inu muli ndi mitsinje yambiri ndi chuma chambiri. Koma chimaliziro chanu chafika, moyo wanu watha.
14 He swears Yahweh of hosts by self his that except I will fill you person[s] like locust and they will sing to you a shout.
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse analumbira pali Iye mwini kuti: Ndidzakutumizira adani ochuluka ngati dzombe, kuti adzakuthire nkhondo ndipo adzafuwula kuonetsa kuti apambana.
15 [he] made [the] earth By power his [he] established [the] world by wisdom his and by understanding his he stretched out [the] heavens.
“Yehova analenga dziko lapansi ndi mphamvu zake; Iye anapanga dziko lonse ndi nzeru zake ndipo anayala thambo mwaluso lake.
16 To [the] sound of giving forth he a tumult of waters in the heavens and he brought up clouds from [the] end of [the] earth lightning for the rain he makes and he brought out [the] wind from storehouses his.
Iye akayankhula, kumamveka mkokomo wamadzi akumwamba. Iyeyo amabweretsa mitambo kuchokera ku malekezero a dziko lapansi. Amabweretsa mphenzi pamodzi ndi mvula ndi kutulutsa mphepo yamkuntho kumalo kumene amasungira.
17 He is stupid every person from knowledge he is put to shame every metalsmith from [the] idol for [is] deception molten image his and not breath [is] in them.
“Anthu onse ndi opusa ndiponso opanda nzeru; mmisiri aliyense wosula golide akuchita manyazi ndi mafano ake. Mafano akewo ndi abodza; alibe moyo mʼkati mwawo.
18 [are] futility They a work of mockery at [the] time of punishment their they will perish.
Mafanowo ndi achabechabe, zinthu zosekedwa nazo. Pamene anthuwo azidzaweruzidwa mafanowo adzawonongedwa.
19 Not [is] like these [the] portion of Jacob for [is [the] one who] formed everything he and [the] tribe of inheritance his [is] Yahweh of hosts name his.
Koma Yehova amene ndi Cholowa cha Yakobo sali ngati mafanowo. Iyeyu ndi Mlengi wa zinthu zonse, kuphatikizapo mtundu umene anawusankha kuti ukhale anthu ake. Dzina lake ndi Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
20 [are] a war-club You of me weapons of war and I smash by you nations and I destroy by you kingdoms.
“Iwe Babuloni ndi ndodo yanga, chida changa chankhondo. Ndi iwe ndimaphwanya mitundu ya anthu, ndi iwe ndimawononga maufumu,
21 And I smash by you horse and rider its and I smash by you chariotry and rider[s] its.
ndi iwe ndimaphwanya kavalo ndi wokwerapo, ndi iwe ndimaphwanya galeta ndi woyendetsa wake.
22 And I smash by you man and woman and I smash by you old [man] and young man and I smash by you young man and young woman.
Ndi iwe ndimaphwanya mwamuna ndi mkazi, ndi iwe ndimaphwanya nkhalamba ndi wachinyamata, ndi iwe ndimaphwanya mnyamata ndi namwali.
23 And I smash by you shepherd and flock his and I smash by you a farmer and team his and I smash by you governors and officials.
Ndi iwe ndimaphwanya mʼbusa ndi ziweto, ndi iwe ndimaphwanya mlimi ndi ngʼombe, ndi iwe ndimaphwanya abwanamkubwa ndi atsogoleri a ankhondo.
24 And I will repay to Babylon and to all - [the] inhabitants of Chaldea all evil their which they did in Zion to eyes your [the] utterance of Yahweh.
“Inu mukuona ndidzalanga Babuloni ndi onse amene amakhala mʼdziko la Babuloni chifukwa cha zolakwa zonse anachita ku Ziyoni,” akutero Yehova.
25 Here I [am] against you O mountain of destruction [the] utterance of Yahweh who destroys all the earth and I will stretch out hand my on you and I will roll you from the crags and I will make you into a mountain of burning.
“Taonani, ndikukuzenga mlandu, iwe phiri lowononga, amene umawononga dziko lonse lapansi,” akutero Yehova. “Ndidzatambalitsa dzanja langa pofuna kukulanga, kukugubuduzira pansi kuchokera pa matanthwe ako, ndi kukusandutsa kukhala phiri lopserera.
26 And not people will take from you stone for a corner and stone for foundations for wastes of perpetuity you will be [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Palibe ngakhale ndi mwala wako umodzi umene anthu adzawutenga kuti awugwiritse ntchito kumangira nyumba, chifukwa iwe udzakhala chipululu mpaka muyaya,” akutero Yehova.
27 Lift up a standard in the land blow a trumpet among the nations consecrate on it nations summon on it [the] kingdoms of Ararat Minni and Ashkenaz appoint on it an official bring up horse[s] like a locust bristly.
“Kwezani mbendera ya nkhondo mʼdziko! Lizani lipenga pakati pa mitundu ya anthu! Konzekeretsani mitundu ya anthu kuti ikamuthire nkhondo; itanani maufumu awa: Ararati, Mini ndi Asikenazi kuti adzamuthire nkhondo. Ikani mtsogoleri wankhondo kuti amenyane naye; tumizani akavalo ochuluka ngati magulu a dzombe.
28 Consecrate on it nations [the] kings of Media governors its and all officials its and all [the] land of dominion his.
Konzekeretsani mitundu ya anthu. Amenewa ndiwo mafumu a Amedi, abwanamkubwa awo, atsogoleri a ankhondo, ndiponso ankhondo a mayiko amene amawalamulira, kuti idzathire nkhondo Babuloni.
29 And it quaked the land and it writhed for it will be fulfilled on Babylon [the] plans of Yahweh to make [the] land of Babylon into a waste from not inhabitant.
Dziko likunjenjemera ndi kunthunthumira, chifukwa zidzachitikadi zimene Yehova wakonzera Babuloni; kusakaza dziko la Babuloni kuti musapezeke wokhalamo.
30 They will cease [the] warriors of Babylon to fight they will remain in the strongholds it will be dry strength their they will become women they will be set on fire dwellings its they will be broken bars its.
Ankhondo a ku Babuloni aleka kuchita nkhondo; iwo angokhala mʼmalinga awo. Mphamvu zawo zatheratu; ndipo akhala ngati akazi. Malo ake wokhala atenthedwa; mipiringidzo ya zipata zake yathyoka.
31 A runner to meet a runner he will run and a messenger to meet a messenger to tell to [the] king of Babylon that it has been captured city his from [the] end.
Othamanga akungopezanapezana, amithenga akungotsatanatsatana kudzawuza mfumu ya ku Babuloni kuti alande mzinda wake wonse.
32 And the fords they have been seized and the reed-marshes they have burned with fire and [the] men of war they are terrified.
Madooko onse alandidwa, malo onse obisalamo alonda atenthedwa ndi moto, ndipo ankhondo onse asokonezeka.”
33 For thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel [the] daughter of Babylon [will be] like a threshing floor a time [when] someone treads down it yet a little and it will come [the] time of the harvest to it.
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli akuti, “Babuloni wokongola uja wakhala ngati malo opunthirapo tirigu pa nthawi yake yopuntha tirigu; A ku Yerusalemu akuti, Posachedwapa nthawi yake yomukolola ifika.”
34 (He devoured me he confused me *Q(K)*) Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon (he set down me *Q(K)*) a vessel of emptiness (he swallowed me *Q(K)*) like sea monster he filled belly his from delicacies my (he rinsed out me. *Q(K)*)
A ku Yerusalemu akuti, “Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni watiwononga, watiphwanya, ndi kutitaya ngati mbiya yopanda kanthu. Watimeza ngati ngʼona, wakhuta ndi zakudya zathu zokoma, kenaka nʼkutilavula.”
35 Violence my and flesh my [be] on Babylon she will say [the] inhabitant[s] of Zion and blood my [be] to [the] inhabitants of Chaldea it will say Jerusalem.
Anthu a ku Ziyoni anene kuti, “Zankhanza zimene anatichitira ife ziwabwerere Ababuloni.” Anthu okhala mu Yerusalemu anene kuti, “Magazi athu amene anakhetsedwa akhale pa amene akukhala ku Babuloni.”
36 Therefore thus he says Yahweh here I [am] about to conduct case your and I will avenge vengeance your and I will dry up sea its and I will make dry spring its.
Nʼchifukwa chake Yehova akuti, “Taona, ndidzakumenyera nkhondo ndi kukulipsirira; ndidzawumitsa nyanja yake ndipo akasupe ake adzaphwa.
37 And it will become Babylon - heaps of stones - a habitation of jackals a horror and a hissing from not inhabitant.
Motero Babuloni adzasanduka mulu wa nyumba zogumuka, malo okhala nkhandwe, malo ochititsa mantha ndi onyozedwa, malo wopanda aliyense wokhalamo.
38 Together like young lions they roar they growl like cubs of lions.
Anthu ake onse adzabangula ngati mkango, adzadzuma ngati ana amkango.
39 When getting heated they I will make feast their and I will make drunk them so that they may celebrate and they will sleep a sleep of perpetuity and not they will awake [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Ngati achita dyera ndiye ndidzawakonzera madyerero ndi kuwaledzeretsa, kotero kuti adzasangalala, kenaka nʼkugona tulo mpaka muyaya ndipo sadzadzukanso,” akutero Yehova.
40 I will bring down them like lambs to slaughter like rams with goats.
“Ine ndidzawatenga kuti akaphedwe ngati ana ankhosa onenepa, ngati nkhosa zazimuna ndi mbuzi.
41 How! it will be captured Sheshach and it has been seized [the] praise of all the earth how! it will become a horror Babylon among the nations.
“Ndithu Babuloni walandidwa, mzinda umene dziko lonse lapansi limanyadira wagwidwa! Taonani, mmene Babuloni wasandukira chinthu chochititsa mantha pakati pa mitundu ya anthu!
42 It will go up over Babylon the sea with [the] tumult of waves its it will be covered.
Nyanja yakwera ndi kumiza Babuloni; mafunde ake okokoma aphimba Babuloni.
43 They will become cities its a waste a land dry and a desert plain a land [where] not he will dwell in them any person and not he will pass in them a child of humankind.
Mizinda yake yasanduka bwinja, dziko lowuma ndi lachipululu, dziko losakhalamo wina aliyense, dziko losayendamo munthu aliyense.
44 And I will visit [judgment] on Bel in Babylon and I will bring out swallowed thing his from mouth his and not they will stream to him again nations also [the] wall of Babylon it will fall.
Ndidzalanga Beli mulungu wa Ababuloni, ndidzamusanzitsa zimene anameza. Mitundu ya anthu sidzapitanso kwa iye. Malinga a Babuloni agwa.
45 Come out from [the] midst of it O people my and save everyone life his from [the] burning of [the] anger of Yahweh.
“Tulukani mʼBabuloni anthu anga! Pulumutsani miyoyo yanu! Thawani mkwiyo woopsa wa Yehova.
46 And lest it should be weak heart your so you may fear at the report which is being heard in the land and it will come in the year the report and after it in the year the report and violence [will be] in the land and ruler [will be] on ruler.
Musataye mtima kapena kuchita mantha pamene mphekesera zikumveka mʼdziko mwanu. Chaka ndi chaka pamabuka mphekesera za ziwawa mʼdziko lapansi, ndiponso yakuti mfumu yakuti ikuthira nkhondo mfumu ina.
47 Therefore here! days [are] coming and I will visit [judgment] on [the] images of Babylon and all land its it will be ashamed and all slain [ones] its they will fall in [the] midst of it.
Pakuti taonani, nthawi ikubwera ndithu pamene ndidzalanga mafano a ku Babuloni; dziko lake lonse lidzachita manyazi ndi ophedwa ake onse adzakhala ngundangunda pakati pake.
48 And they will cry out for joy on Babylon heaven and earth and all that [is] in them for from [the] north he will come to it the destroyers [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Pamenepo kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi ndi zonse zili mʼmenemo zidzayimba mokondwa chifukwa cha kugwa kwa Babuloni. Anthu owononga ochokera kumpoto adzamuthira nkhondo,” akutero Yehova.
49 Both Babylon [is] to fall [those] slain of Israel as well as for Babylon they have fallen [those] slain of all the earth.
“Babuloni anapha anthu ambiri pa dziko lapansi. Tsono, nawo anthu a ku Babuloni ayenera kuphedwa chifukwa anapha anthu a ku Yerusalemu.
50 O escapees from [the] sword go may not you stand still remember from a distant [land] Yahweh and Jerusalem let it come up on heart your.
Inu amene munapulumuka ku nkhondo ya Babuloni, chokani pano ndipo musazengereze! Kumbukirani Yehova ngakhale muli ku mayiko akutali, ganizirani za Yerusalemu.”
51 We are ashamed for we have heard scorn it has covered ignominy faces our for they have gone strangers to [the] holy places of [the] house of Yahweh.
Inu mukuti, “Tikuchita manyazi, chifukwa tanyozedwa ndipo nkhope zathu zili ndi manyazi, chifukwa anthu achilendo alowa malo opatulika a Nyumba ya Yehova.”
52 Therefore here! days [are] coming [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will visit [judgment] on images its and in all land its he will groan [the] fatally wounded.
Nʼchifukwa chake Yehova akuti, “Masiku akubwera pamene ndidzalanga mafano ake, ndipo mʼdziko lake lonse anthu ovulala adzabuwula.
53 If it will go up Babylon the heavens and if it will fortify [the] height of strength its from with me they will come destroyers to it [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Ngakhale Babuloni atadzikweza mpaka mlengalenga ndi kulimbitsa nsanja zake, ndidzatuma anthu owononga kudzamenyana naye,” akutero Yehova.
54 [the] sound of A cry of distress from Babylon and destruction great from [the] land of [the] Chaldeans.
“Imvani mfuwu wolira kuchokera ku Babuloni. Imvani phokoso lachiwonongeko chachikulu kuchokera mʼdziko la Babuloni.
55 For [is] about to destroy Yahweh Babylon and he will destroy from it a sound great and they will roar waves their like waters many it will be given [the] uproar of voice their.
Pakuti Yehova akuwononga Babuloni, ndipo akuthetsa phokoso lake lalikulu. Mfuwu wa adani ukumveka ngati mkokomo wa madzi ambiri. Phokoso lawo likunka likwererakwerera.
56 For [is] about to come on it on Babylon a destroyer and they will be captured warriors its it will be shattered bows their for [is] a God of recompense Yahweh fully he will repay.
Pakuti wowononga wafika kudzamenyana ndi Babuloni, ankhondo ake agwidwa, ndipo mauta awo athyoka. Paja Yehova ndi Mulungu wobwezera chilango; adzabwezera kwathunthu.
57 And I will make drunk officials its and wise [people] its governors its and officials its and warriors its and they will sleep a sleep of perpetuity and not they will awake [the] utterance of the king [is] Yahweh of hosts name his.
Ndidzaledzeretsa akuluakulu ake pamodzi ndi anzeru ake, abwanamkubwa ake, atsogoleri a ankhondo pamodzinso ndi ankhondo; adzagona kwamuyaya osadzukanso,” akutero Mfumu, amene dzina lake ndi Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
58 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] walls of Babylon broad utterly it will be demolished and gates its high with fire they will be kindled and they may labor peoples for [the] sufficiency of emptiness and peoples for [the] sufficiency of fire and they grow weary.
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, “Malinga aakulu a Babuloni adzasalazidwa ndipo zipata zake zazitali zidzatenthedwa; mitundu ya anthu inangogwira ntchito pachabe. Anthu anatopa ndi kumanga zimene tsopano zikupsa ndi moto.”
59 The word which he commanded - Jeremiah the prophet Seraiah [the] son of Neriah [the] son of Mahseiah when went he with Zedekiah [the] king of Judah Babylon in [the] year fourth of reigning his and Seraiah [was] an official of a resting place.
Zedekiya mfumu ya Yuda inali ndi phungu wake wamkulu amene dzina lake linali Seraya mwana wa Neriya chidzukulu cha Maseya. Mʼchaka chachinayi cha ulamuliro wake, Zedekiya anapita ndi Seraya ku Babuloni. Tsono mneneri Yeremiya anamupatsirako uthenga Serayayo.
60 And he wrote Jeremiah all the calamity which it will come to Babylon to a scroll one all the words these which were written concerning Babylon.
Yeremiya anali atalemba mʼbuku za masautso onse amene adzafike pa Babuloni ndi zina zonse zokhudza Babuloni.
61 And he said Jeremiah to Seraiah when coming you Babylon and you will see and you will read aloud all the words these.
Yeremiya anawuza Seraya kuti, “Ukakafika ku Babuloni, ukaonetsetse kuti wawawerengera anthu onse mawu onsewa.
62 And you will say O Yahweh you you have spoken concerning the place this to cut off it to not to be in it an inhabitant from humankind and unto animal for desolations of perpetuity it will be.
Ndipo ukanene kuti, ‘Inu Yehova, mwanena kuti mudzawononga malo ano, kotero kuti simudzatsala munthu kapena nyama mʼdziko muno; lidzakhala chipululu mpaka muyaya.’
63 And it will be when finishing you to read aloud the scroll this you will tie on it a stone and you will throw it into [the] middle of [the] Euphrates.
Ukakatha kuwerenga bukuli, ukalimangirire ku mwala ndipo ukaliponye pakati pa mtsinje wa Yufurate.
64 And you will say thus it will sink Babylon and not it will rise because of the calamity which I [am] about to bring on it and they will grow weary [are] to here [the] words of Jeremiah.
Ndipo ukanene kuti, ‘Umu ndi mmene adzamirire Babuloni ndipo sadzadzukanso chifukwa cha masautso amene adzamugwere.’” Mawu a Yeremiya athera pamenepa.
