Jeremiah 1
1 [the] words of Jeremiah [the] son of Hilkiah one of the priests who [were] at Anathoth in [the] land of Benjamin.
Mawu a Yeremiya mwana wa Hilikiya, mmodzi mwa ansembe a ku Anatoti, mʼdziko la Benjamini.
2 Whom it came [the] word of Yahweh to him in [the] days of Josiah [the] son of Amon [the] king of Judah in thir-teen year of reigning his.
Mawuwa Yehova anayankhula naye mʼchaka cha 13 cha ulamuliro wa Yosiya mwana wa Amoni mfumu ya Yuda.
3 And it came in [the] days of Jehoiakim [the] son of Josiah [the] king of Judah until was finished one [plus] ten year of Zedekiah [the] son of Josiah [the] king of Judah until went into exile Jerusalem in the month fifth.
Yehova anayankhulanso naye pa nthawi yonse ya ulamuliro wa Yehoyakimu mwana wa Yosiya mfumu ya Yuda, mpaka mwezi wachisanu wa chaka cha 11 cha ufumu wa Zedekiya mwana wa Yosiya mfumu ya Yuda, pamene anthu a ku Yerusalemu anapita ku ukapolo.
4 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
Yehova anayankhula nane kuti,
5 Before (I formed you *Q(k)*) in the belly I knew you and before you came forth from [the] womb I set apart you a prophet to the nations I appointed you.
“Ndisanakuwumbe mʼmimba mwa amayi ako ndinali nditakudziwa kale, iwe usanabadwe ndinali nditakupatula kale; ndinakuyika kuti ukhale mneneri kwa anthu a mitundu yonse.”
6 And I said alas! O Lord Yahweh here! not I know to speak for [am] a youth I.
Ine ndinati, “Haa! Ambuye Yehova, ine sinditha kuyankhula; popeza ndikanali wamngʼono.”
7 And he said Yahweh to me may not you say [am] a youth I for to every [one] whom I will send you you will go and all that I will command you you will speak.
Koma Yehova anandiwuza kuti, “Usanene kuti, ‘Ndikanali wamngʼono’ popeza udzapita kwa munthu aliyense kumene ndidzakutuma ndi kunena chilichonse chimene ndidzakulamulira.
8 May not you be afraid of them for [will be] with you I to deliver you [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Usawaope, pakuti Ine ndili nawe, ndipo ndidzakupulumutsa,” akutero Yehova.
9 And he stretched out Yahweh hand his and he touched mouth my and he said Yahweh to me here! I have put words my in mouth your.
Pamenepo Yehova anatambalitsa dzanja lake nakhudza pakamwa panga, nandiwuza kuti, “Taona, tsopano ndayika mawu anga mʼkamwa mwako.
10 See I appoint you - the day this over the nations and over kingdoms to pluck up and to pull down and to destroy and to tear down to build and to plant.
Lero ndakusankha kuti ukhale ndi ulamuliro pa mitundu ya anthu ndi pa maufumu awo kuti uzule ndi kugwetsa, uwononge ndi kugumula, kuti uwamange ndi kudzala.”
11 And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying what? [are] you seeing O Jeremiah and I said a branch of an almond tree I [am] seeing.
Yehova anandifunsa kuti, “Yeremiya, kodi ukuona chiyani?” Ine ndinayankha kuti, “Ndikuona nthambi ya mtengo wa mtowo.”
12 And he said Yahweh to me you have done well to see for [am] watching I over word my to do it.
Yehova anandiwuza kuti, “Waona bwino, chifukwa Ine ndikuonetsetsa kuti mawu angawa akwaniritsidwe.”
13 And it came [the] word of Yahweh - to me a second [time] saying what? [are] you seeing and I said a pot blown upon I [am] seeing and face its [is] away from [the] face of north-ward.
Yehova anandifunsanso kachiwiri kuti, “Kodi ukuona chiyani?” Ine ndinayankha kuti, “Ndikuona mʼphika wa madzi owira, ndipo wagudukira kuno kummwera.”
14 And he said Yahweh to me from [the] north it will be let loose calamity on all [the] inhabitants of the land.
Yehova anandiwuza kuti, “Mavuto a anthu onse okhala mʼdziko lino adzachokera kumpoto.
15 For - here I [am] summoning all [the] clans of [the] kingdoms of north-ward [the] utterance of Yahweh and they will come and they will set each one throne his [the] entrance of - [the] gates of Jerusalem and on all walls its all around and on all [the] cities of Judah.
Ine ndikuyitana anthu onse a ku maufumu a kumpoto,” akutero Yehova. “Mafumu awo adzabwera ndipo aliyense adzakhazika mpando wake waufumu polowera pa zipata za Yerusalemu; iwo adzabwera ndi kuzungulira makoma ake ndiponso midzi yonse ya dziko la Yuda.
16 And I will speak judgments my with them on all wickedness their which they have forsaken me and they have made smoke to gods other and they have bowed down to [the] products of hands their.
Ndidzatulutsa mlandu wanga ndi iwo chifukwa cha zoyipa zimene anachita pondisiya Ine. Iwo anakafukiza lubani kwa milungu ina, ndi kupembedza zimene anapanga ndi manja awo.
17 And you you will gird loins your and you will arise and you will say to them all that I I will command you may not you be dismayed because of them lest I should make dismayed you before them.
“Koma iwe Yeremiya konzeka! Nyamuka ndipo ukawawuze zonse zimene ndakulamulira. Usachite nawo mantha, kuopa kuti Ine ndingakuchititse mantha iwo akuona.
18 And I here! I have made you this day into a city of fortification and into a pillar of iron and into walls of bronze on all the land to [the] kings of Judah to officials its to priests its and to [the] people of the land.
Taona, lero ndakupanga kukhala ngati mzinda wotetezedwa, ngati mzati wachitsulo ndiponso ngati makoma a mkuwa kuti usaopsedwe ndi munthu aliyense wa mʼdzikomo; kaya ndi mafumu a Yuda, akuluakulu ake, ansembe ake, kapena munthu wamba wa mʼdzikomo.
19 And they will fight against you and not they will prevail to you for [will be] with you I [the] utterance of Yahweh to deliver you.
Iwo adzalimbana nawe koma sadzakugonjetsa, popeza Ine ndili nawe ndipo ndidzakupulumutsa,” akutero Yehova.
