Jeremiah 10
1 The hous of Israel, here ye the word which the Lord spak on you.
Inu Aisraeli, imvani zimene Yehova akunena.
2 The Lord seith these thingis, Nyle ye lerne aftir the weies of hethene men, and nyle ye drede of the signes of heuene, whiche signes hethene men dreden.
Yehova akuti, “Musatsatire makhalidwe a anthu a mitundu ina kapena kuchita mantha ndi zizindikiro zamlengalenga, ngakhale anthu a mitundu ina amachita nazo mantha.
3 For the lawis of puplis ben veyn, for whi the werk of hondis of a crafti man hath kit doun with an axe a tre of the forest.
Pakuti miyambo ya mitundu inayo ndiyachabechabe. Iwo amakadula mtengo ku nkhalango ndipo mmisiri amawusema ndi sompho.
4 He made it fair with siluer and gold; with naylis and hameris he ioynede it togidere, that it be not loosid.
Amakongoletsa chosemacho ndi siliva ndi golide; kenaka amachikhomerera ndi misomali kuti chisagwedezeke.
5 Idols ben maad in the licnesse of a palm tree, and schulen not speke; tho schulen be takun and be borun, for tho moun not go; therfor nyle ye drede tho, for tho moun nether do yuel, nethir wel.
Mafano awo ali ngati mtengo wakanjedza woopsezera mbalame mʼmunda wa minkhaka. Mafanowo sangathe nʼkuyankhula komwe ndipo ayenera kunyamulidwa popeza sangathe nʼkuyenda komwe. Musachite nawo mantha popeza sangathe kukuchitani choyipa ndiponso alibe mphamvu yochitira chabwino chilichonse.”
6 Lord, noon is lijk thee; thou art greet, and thi name is greet in strengthe.
Palibe wofanana nanu, Inu Yehova; Inu ndinu wamkulu, ndipo dzina lanu lili ndi mphamvu yayikulu.
7 A! thou king of folkis, who schal not drede thee? for whi onour is thin among alle wise men of hethene men, and in alle the rewmes of hem noon is lijk thee.
Ndani amene angaleke kukuopani, inu Mfumu ya mitundu ya anthu? Chimenechi ndicho chokuyenerani. Pakati pa anthu anzeru onse komanso mafumu onse a mitundu ya anthu, palibe wina wofanana nanu.
8 Thei schulen be preued, vnwise and foolis togidere; the techyng of her vanyte is a tre.
Onsewo ndi opusa ndi opanda nzeru; malangizo awo amawatenga kuchokera kwa mafano achabechabe opanga ndi mitengo.
9 Siluer wlappid is brouyt fro Tharsis, and gold fro Ophaz; it is the werk of a crafti man, and of the hond of a worchere in metel; iacynct and purpur ben the clothing of tho; alle these thingis ben the werk of werk men.
Siliva wosula amabwera naye kuchokera ku Tarisisi ndipo golide amachokera naye ku Ufazi. Mafanowo ndi ntchito ya anthu aluso ndi odziwa kuzokota golide. Tsono mafanowo amawaveka zovala za mtundu wamtambo ndi pepo. Yonseyo ndi ntchito ya anthu a luso.
10 Forsothe the Lord is veri God; he is God lyuynge, and a kyng euerlastynge; the erthe schal be mouyd togidere of his indignacioun, and hethene men schulen not suffre the manaassing of hym.
Koma Yehova ndiye Mulungu woona; Iyeyo ndiye Mulungu wamoyo, Mfumu yamuyaya. Akakwiya, dziko limagwedezeka; anthu a mitundu ina sangathe kupirira ukali wakewo.
11 Therfor thus ye schulen seie to hem, Goddis that maden not heuene and erthe, perische fro erthe, and fro these thingis that ben vndur heuene.
“Awuze anthu awa kuti, ‘Milungu iyi, imene sinalenge dziko lakumwamba ndi dziko lapansi, idzawonongeka pa dziko lapansi ndi pansi pa thambo.’”
12 He is God, that makith the erthe in his strengthe, makith redi the world in his wisdom, and stretchith forth heuenes bi his prudence.
Koma Mulungu analenga dziko lapansi ndi mphamvu zake; Iye anapanga dziko lonse ndi nzeru zake ndipo anayala thambo mwaluso lake.
13 At his vois he yyueth the multitude of watris in heuene, and he reisith mystis fro the endis of erthe; he makith leitis into reyn, and ledith out wynd of his tresouris.
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 osungirako.
14 Ech man is maad a fool of kunnyng, ech crafti man is schent in a grauun ymage; for whi that that he wellide togidere is fals, and no spirit is in tho.
Anthu onse ndi opusa ndiponso opanda nzeru; mmisiri aliyense wosula golide akuchita manyazi ndi mafano ake. Mafano akewo ndi abodza; alibe moyo mʼkati mwawo.
15 Tho ben veyn, and a werk worthi of scorn; tho schulen perische in the tyme of her visitacioun.
Mafanowo ndi achabechabe, zinthu zosekedwa nazo. Pamene anthuwo azidzaweruzidwa, mafanowo adzawonongedwa.
16 The part of Jacob is not lijk these, for he that formede alle thingis is God of Jacob, and Israel is the yerde of his eritage; the Lord of oostis is name to hym.
Koma Yehova amene ndi Cholowa cha Yakobo sali ngati mafanowo. Iyeyu ndi Mlengi wa zinthu zonse kuphatikizapo Israeli, mtundu umene anawusankha kuti ukhale anthu ake. Dzina lake ndi Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
17 Thou that dwellist in bisegyng, gadere fro the lond thi schenschipe;
Sonkhanitsani katundu wanu, inu amene mukukhala mʼlinga la ankhondo.
18 for the Lord seith these thingis, Lo! Y schal caste awei fer the dwelleris of the loond in this while; and Y schal yyue tribulacioun to hem, so that thei be not foundun.
Pakuti Yehova akuti, “Tsopano Ine ndidzachotsa anthu onse amene akukhala mʼdziko lino; adzakhala pa mavuto mpaka adzamvetsa.”
19 Wo to me on my sorewe, my wounde is ful yuel; forsothe Y seide, Pleynli this is my sikenesse, and Y schal bere it.
Aliyense ankangoti, “Mayo ine, chifukwa cha kupweteka kwanga! Chilonda changa nʼchachikulu!” Koma ine ndinkaganiza kuti, “Ndithu, ili ndi vuto langa basi, choncho ndingolipirira.”
20 My tabernacle is distried, alle my roopis ben brokun; my sones yeden out fro me, and ben not; noon is that schal stretche forth more my tente, and schal reyse my skynnes.
Tenti yanga yawonongeka, zingwe zake zonse zaduka. Ana anga andisiya ndipo kulibenso. Palibenso amene adzandimangire tenti, kapena kufunyulula nsalu yake.
21 For the scheepherdis diden folili, and souyten not the Lord; therfor thei vndurstoden not, and alle the flok of hem is scaterid.
Abusa ndi opusa ndipo sanapemphe nzeru kwa Yehova; choncho palibe chimene anapindula ndipo nkhosa zawo zonse zabalalika.
22 Lo! the vois of hering cometh, and a greet mouynge togidere fro the lond of the north, that it sette the citees of Juda in to wildirnesse, and a dwellynge place of dragouns.
Tamvani! kukubwera mphekesera, phokoso lalikulu la gulu la a ankhondo likumveka kuchokera kumpoto! Lidzasandutsa bwinja mizinda ya ku Yuda, malo okhala nkhandwe.
23 Lord, Y woot, that the weie of a man is not of hym, nether it is of a man that he go, and dresse hise steppis.
Inu Yehova, ndikudziwa kuti moyo umene munthu ali nawo si wake; munthuyo sangathe kuwongolera mayendedwe ake.
24 Lord, chastise thou me; netheles in doom and not in thi strong veniaunce, lest perauenture thou dryue me to nouyt.
Inu Yehova, langizeni, komatu mwachilungamo, osati ndi mkwiyo wanu, mungandiwononge kotheratu.
25 Schede out thin indignacioun on hethene men that knewen not thee, and on prouynces that clepiden not thi name to help; for thei eeten Jacob, and deuouriden hym, and wastiden hym, and destrieden the onour of hym.
Tsanulirani ukali wanu pa mitundu ya anthu amene sakudziwani, ndiye kuti mitundu ya anthu amene satama pa dzina lanu mopemba. Iwo aja anasakaza Yakobo; amusakaza kotheratu ndipo awononga dziko lake.
