< Jeremiah 36 >
1 And it cometh to pass, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying:
Chaka chachinayi cha Yehoyakimu mwana wa Yosiya mfumu ya Yuda, Yehova anayankhula ndi Yeremiya kuti,
2 'Take to thee a roll of a book, and thou hast written on it all the words that I have spoken unto thee concerning Israel, and concerning Judah, and concerning all the nations, from the day I spake unto thee, from the days of Josiah, even unto this day;
“Tenga buku ndipo ulembemo mawu onse amene ndayankhula nawe otsutsa Israeli, Yuda ndi mitundu yonse ya anthu, kuyambira nthawi imene ndinayamba kuyankhula nawe pa nthawi ya ulamuliro wa Yosiya mpaka lero lino.
3 if so be the house of Israel do hear all the evil that I am thinking of doing to them, so that they turn back each from is evil way, and I have been propitious to their iniquity, and to their sin.'
Mwina mwake anthu a ku Yuda adzamva za zoopsa zonse zimene ndakonza kuti ndiwachitire, ndipo munthu aliyense adzatembenuka ndi kusiya ntchito zake zoyipa. Motero ndidzawakhululukira zoyipa zawo ndi machimo awo.”
4 And Jeremiah calleth Baruch son of Neriah, and Baruch writeth from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of Jehovah, that He hath spoken unto him, on a roll of a book.
Tsono Yeremiya anayitana Baruki mwana wa Neriya. Baruki analemba mʼbuku mawu onse amene Yeremiya ankamuwuza, mawu amene Yehova anamuwuza Yeremiya.
5 And Jeremiah commandeth Baruch, saying, 'I am restrained, I am not able to enter the house of Jehovah;
Kenaka Yeremiya anawuza Baruki kuti, “Ine andiletsa kupita ku Nyumba ya Mulungu.
6 but thou hast entered — and thou hast read in the roll that thou hast written from my mouth, the words of Jehovah, in the ears of the people, in the house of Jehovah, in the day of the fast, and also in the ears of all Judah who are coming in from their cities thou dost read them;
Tsono iwe upite ku Nyumba ya Yehova pa tsiku losala kudya ndipo ukawerenge mawu a Yehova ochokera mʼbukumu amene ndinakulembetsa anthu onse akumva. Ukawawerengere anthu onse a ku Yuda amene amabwera ku Nyumba ya Mulungu kuchokera ku mizinda yawo.
7 if so be their supplication doth fall before Jehovah, and they turn back each from his evil way, for great [is] the anger and the fury that Jehovah hath spoken concerning this people.'
Mwina mwake adzapempha kwa Yehova ndipo aliyense adzatembenuka ndi kusiya makhalidwe ake oyipa pakuti mkwiyo ndi ukali wa Yehova pa anthu awa ndi woopsa kwambiri.”
8 And Baruch son of Neriah doth according to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, to read in the book the words of Jehovah in the house of Jehovah.
Baruki mwana wa Neriya anachita zonse zimene mneneri Yeremiya anamuwuza kuti achite. Mʼnyumba ya Yehova, iye anawerenga mawu a Yehova ochokera mʼbukulo.
9 And it cometh to pass, in the fifth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, in the ninth month, proclaimed a fast before Jehovah have all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people who are coming in from cities of Judah to Jerusalem;
Pa mwezi wachisanu ndi chinayi wa chaka chachisanu cha Yehoyakimu mwana wa Yosiya mfumu ya Yuda, anthu onse a mu Yerusalemu ndi onse amene anabwera kumeneko kuchokera ku mizinda ya Yuda, anapangana za kusala kudya kuti apepese Yehova.
10 and Baruch readeth in the book the words of Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah, in the chamber of Gemariah son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher court, at the opening of the new gate of the house of Jehovah, in the ears of all the people.
Atayima pa chipinda cha Gemariya mwana wa mlembi Safani, chimene chinali mʼbwalo lapamwamba, pafupi ndi Chipata Chatsopano cholowera ku Nyumba ya Yehova, Baruki anawerenga mawu onse a Yeremiya amene anali mʼbuku muja kwa anthu onse amene anali ku Nyumba ya Yehova.
11 And Michaiah son of Gemariah, son of Shaphan, heareth all the words of Jehovah from off the book,
Mikaya mwana wa Gemariya, mwana wa Safani, atamva mawu onse a Yehova ochokera mʼbukumo,
12 and he goeth down [to] the house of the king, unto the chamber of the scribe, and lo, there are all the heads sitting: Elishama the scribe, and Delaiah son of Shemaiah, and Elnathan son of Acbor, and Gemariah son of Shaphan, and Zedekiah son of Hananiah, and all the heads.
anapita ku nyumba ya mfumu nakalowa ku chipinda cha mlembi. Akuluakulu, mlembi Elisama, Delaya mwana wa Semaya, Elinatani mwana wa Akibori, Gemariya mwana wa Safani, Zedekiya mwana wa Hananiya pamodzi ndi akuluakulu ena onse, anali atasonkhana kumeneko.
13 And declare to them doth Micaiah all the words that he hath heard, when Baruch readeth in the book in the ears of the people;
Tsono Mikaya anawafotokozera mawu onse amene anamva pamene Baruki ankawerenga buku lija anthu onse akumva.
14 and all the heads send unto Baruch, Jehudi son of Nethaniah, son of Shelemiah, son of Cushi, saying, 'The roll in which thou hast read in the ears of the people take in thy hand, and come.' And Baruch son of Neriah taketh the roll in his hand and cometh in unto them,
Pambuyo pake akuluakulu onsewo anatuma Yehudi mwana wa Netaniya, mwana wa Selemiya, mwana wa Kusi, kwa Baruki kukamuwuza kuti, “Bwera ndi buku limene unawerenga kwa anthu.” Ndipo Baruki mwana wa Neriya anapita nalo bukulo kwa anthuwo.
15 and they say unto him, 'Sit down, we pray thee, and read it in our ears,' and Baruch readeth in their ears,
Iwo anati, “Khala pansi, ndipo tiwerengere bukuli.” Ndipo Baruki anawawerengera.
16 and it cometh to pass, when they hear all the words, they have been afraid one at another, and say unto Baruch, 'We do surely declare to the king all these words.'
Atamva mawu onsewo, anayangʼanana mwa mantha ndipo anamuwuza Baruki kuti, “Ndithudi tikafotokozera mfumu mawu onsewa.”
17 And they asked Baruch, saying, 'Declare, we pray thee, to us, how didst thou write all these words — from his mouth?'
Tsono anamufunsa Baruki kuti, “Tatiwuze, unalemba bwanji mawu onsewa? Kodi ndi Yeremiya anakulembetsa zimenezi?”
18 And Baruch saith to them, 'From his mouth, he pronounceth unto me all these words, and I am writing on the book with ink.'
Baruki anayankha kuti, “Inde, ndi Yeremiya amene anandiwuza mawu onsewa, ndipo ine ndinawalemba ndi utoto mʼbukumu.”
19 And the heads say unto Baruch, 'Go, be hidden, thou and Jeremiah, and let no one know where ye [are].'
Kenaka akuluakuluwo anamuwuza Baruki kuti, “Iweyo ndi Yeremiya, pitani mukabisale. Munthu aliyense asadziwe kumene muli.”
20 And they go in unto the king, to the court, and the roll they have laid up in the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and they declare in the ears of the king all the words.
Atayika bukulo mʼchipinda cha mlembi Elisama, analowa mʼbwalo, napita kwa mfumu ndi kukayifotokozera zonse.
21 And the king sendeth Jehudi to take the roll, and he taketh it out of the chamber of Elishama the scribe, and Jehudi readeth it in the ears of the king, and in the ears of all the heads who are standing by the king;
Itamva zimenezi mfumu inatuma Yehudi kuti akatenge bukulo, ndipo Yehudi anakalitenga ku chipinda cha mlembi Elisama ndipo anawerengera mfumu pamodzi ndi akuluakulu ake amene anali naye.
22 and the king is sitting in the winter-house, in the ninth month, and the stove before him is burning,
Unali mwezi wachisanu ndi chinayi ndipo mfumu inali mʼnyumba ya pa nyengo yozizira, ikuwotha moto umene anasonkha.
23 and it cometh to pass, when Jehudi readeth three or four leaves, he cutteth it out with the scribe's knife, and hath cast unto the fire, that [is] on the stove, till the consumption of all the roll by the fire that [is] on the stove.
Yehudi ankati akawerenga masamba atatu kapena anayi a bukulo, mfumu inkawangʼamba ndi mpeni ndi kuwaponya pa moto ndipo anapitiriza kuchita zimenezi mpaka buku lonse linapsa.
24 And the king and all his servants who are hearing all these words have not been afraid, nor rent their garments.
Mfumu pamodzi ndi omutumikira ake onse amene anamva mawu onsewa sanachite mantha kapena kungʼamba zovala zawo.
25 And also Elnathan, and Delaiah, and Gemariah have interceded with the king not to burn the roll, and he hath not hearkened unto them.
Ngakhale kuti Elinatani, Delaya, ndi Gemariya anapempha mfumu kuti isatenthe bukulo, mfumuyo sinawamvere.
26 And the king commandeth Jerahmeel son of Hammelek, and Seraiah son of Azriel, and Shelemiah son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Jehovah doth hide them.
Mʼmalo mwake, mfumu inalamula Yerahimeeli mwana wake, Seraya mwana wa Azirieli ndi Selemiya mwana wa Abideeli kuti agwire mlembi Baruki ndi mneneri Yeremiya. Koma pamenepo nʼkuti Yehova atawabisa.
27 And there is a word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah — after the king's burning the roll, even the words that Baruch hath written from the mouth of Jeremiah — saying:
Mfumu itatentha buku limene linali ndi mawu amene Yeremiya anamulembetsa Baruki, Yehova anayankhula ndi Yeremiya kuti,
28 'Turn, take to thee another roll, and write on it all the former words that were on the first roll, that Jehoiakim king of Judah burnt,
“Tenganso buku lina ndipo ulembe mawu onse amene anali mʼbuku loyamba lija, limene Yehoyakimu analitentha.
29 and unto Jehoiakim king of Judah thou dost say: Thus said Jehovah, Thou hast burnt this roll, saying, Wherefore hast thou written on it, saying, The king of Babylon surely cometh in, and hath destroyed this land, and caused to cease from it man and beast?
Ndiponso akamuwuze Yehoyakimu mfumu ya Yuda kuti, ‘Yehova akuti: Iwe unatentha buku lija ndipo unati: Nʼchifukwa chiyani unalemba kuti mfumu ya ku Babuloni idzabwera ndithu kudzawononga dziko lino ndi kupha anthu pamodzi ndi nyama zomwe?’
30 'Therefore, thus said Jehovah, concerning Jehoiakim king of Judah: He hath none sitting on the throne of David, and his carcase is cast out to heat by day, and to cold by night;
Nʼchifukwa chake kunena za Yehoyakimu mfumu ya Yuda Yehova akuti sipadzaoneka munthu wina wolowa mʼmalo mwake pa mpando wa Davide. Akadzafa mtembo wake udzaponyedwa kunja ndipo udzakhala pa dzuwa masana, ndi pachisanu chowundana usiku.
31 and I have charged on him, and on his seed, and on his servants, their iniquity; and I have brought in on them, and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto the men of Judah, all the evil that I have spoken unto them, and they hearkened not.'
Ndidzamulanga pamodzi ndi ana ake ndiponso omutumikira ake chifukwa cha zoyipa zawo; ndidzagwetsa pa iwo ndi pa onse amene akukhala mu Yerusalemu ndiponso pa anthu a ku Yuda masautso onse amene ndinawanena, chifukwa sanamvere.”
32 And Jeremiah hath taken another roll, and giveth it unto Baruch son of Neriah the scribe, and he writeth on it from the mouth of Jeremiah all the words of the book that Jehoiakim king of Judah hath burnt in the fire; and again there were added unto them many words like these.
Choncho Yeremiya anatenga buku lina napatsa mlembi Baruki mwana wa Neriya, ndipo Yeremiya anamulembetsa mawu onse amene anali mʼbuku limene Yehoyakimu mfumu ya Yuda anatentha. Ndipo anawonjezerapo mawu ambiri monga omwewo.
