UJeremiya 10
1 Zwanini ilizwi iNkosi elikhuluma kini, lina ndlu kaIsrayeli.
Inu Aisraeli, imvani zimene Yehova akunena.
2 Itsho njalo INkosi: Lingafundi indlela yabahedeni, lingatshaywa luvalo ngezibonakaliso zamazulu, ngenxa yokuthi abahedeni bayazesaba.
Yehova akuti, “Musatsatire makhalidwe a anthu a mitundu ina kapena kuchita mantha ndi zizindikiro zamlengalenga, ngakhale anthu a mitundu ina amachita nazo mantha.
3 Ngoba imikhuba yabantu iyize; ngoba kuganyulwa isihlahla ehlathini, umsebenzi wezandla zengcitshi, ngehloka.
Pakuti miyambo ya mitundu inayo ndiyachabechabe. Iwo amakadula mtengo ku nkhalango ndipo mmisiri amawusema ndi sompho.
4 Basicecisa ngesiliva langegolide, basiqinisa ngezipikili langezando, ukuze singazamazami.
Amakongoletsa chosemacho ndi siliva ndi golide; kenaka amachikhomerera ndi misomali kuti chisagwedezeke.
5 Zinjengesihlahla selala somsebenzi obaziweyo, kodwa kazikhulumi; kusweleka zithwalwe, ngoba zingehambe; lingazesabi, ngoba zingelakwenza okubi, futhi kakukho ukwenza okuhle kuzo.
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 Njengoba kungekho onjengawe, Nkosi; umkhulu, lebizo lakho likhulu ngobuqhawe.
Palibe wofanana nanu, Inu Yehova; Inu ndinu wamkulu, ndipo dzina lanu lili ndi mphamvu yayikulu.
7 Ngubani ongekwesabe, wena Nkosi yezizwe? ngoba kukufanele. Ngoba phakathi kwabo bonke abahlakaniphileyo bezizwe, lakuyo yonke imibuso yabo, kakho onjengawe.
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 Kodwa kanyekanye banjengezinyamazana bayiziphukuphuku; isigodo siyimfundiso sokuyize.
Onsewo ndi opusa ndi opanda nzeru; malangizo awo amawatenga kuchokera kwa mafano achabechabe opanga ndi mitengo.
9 Isiliva esikhandiweyo silethwa sivela eTarshishi, legolide livela eUfazi, umsebenzi wengcitshi, lowezandla zomkhandi wegolide; ziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lokuyibubende izigqoko zabo; konke kungumsebenzi wabahlakaniphileyo.
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 Kodwa iNkosi inguNkulunkulu weqiniso, inguNkulunkulu ophilayo lenkosi yaphakade. Ekuthukutheleni kwayo umhlaba uyazamazama, lezizwe kazilakulumela ulaka lwayo.
Koma Yehova ndiye Mulungu woona; Iyeyo ndiye Mulungu wamoyo, Mfumu yamuyaya. Akakwiya, dziko limagwedezeka; anthu a mitundu ina sangathe kupirira ukali wakewo.
11 Lizakutsho njalo kubo: Onkulunkulu abangenzanga amazulu lomhlaba bazabhubha basuke emhlabeni langaphansi kwala amazulu.
“Awuze anthu awa kuti, ‘Milungu iyi, imene sinalenge dziko lakumwamba ndi dziko lapansi, idzawonongeka pa dziko lapansi ndi pansi pa thambo.’”
12 Owenza umhlaba ngamandla akhe, wamisa ilizwe ngenhlakanipho yakhe, langokuqedisisa kwakhe wendlala amazulu.
Koma Mulungu analenga dziko lapansi ndi mphamvu zake; Iye anapanga dziko lonse ndi nzeru zake ndipo anayala thambo mwaluso lake.
13 Lapho ekhupha ilizwi, kulenhlokomo yamanzi emazulwini; wenza inkungu yenyuke emkhawulweni womhlaba, wenza imibane lezulu, akhuphe umoya eziphaleni zakhe.
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 Wonke umuntu unjengenyamazana elwazini; wonke umkhandi wegolide uyangiswa yisithombe esibaziweyo; ngoba isithombe sakhe esibunjwe ngokuncibilikisa siyinkohliso, njalo kakulamphefumulo kuzo.
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 Ziyize, umsebenzi wezinkohliso; ngesikhathi sempindiselo yazo zizabhubha.
Mafanowo ndi achabechabe, zinthu zosekedwa nazo. Pamene anthuwo azidzaweruzidwa, mafanowo adzawonongedwa.
16 Isabelo sikaJakobe kasinjengazo, ngoba ungumbumbi wakho konke, loIsrayeli uyintonga yelifa lakhe; iNkosi yamabandla libizo layo.
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 Qoqa impahla yakho uyikhuphe elizweni, wena mhlalikazi wenqaba.
Sonkhanitsani katundu wanu, inu amene mukukhala mʼlinga la ankhondo.
18 Ngoba itsho njalo iNkosi: Khangela, ngizabajikijela ngaphandle abahlali belizwe ngalesisikhathi, ngibacindezele ukuze bakuthole.
Pakuti Yehova akuti, “Tsopano Ine ndidzachotsa anthu onse amene akukhala mʼdziko lino; adzakhala pa mavuto mpaka adzamvetsa.”
19 Maye kimi ngenxa yokwephuka kwami! Inxeba lami linzima; kodwa mina ngathi: Isibili lokhu yinhlupheko yami engizayithwala.
Aliyense ankangoti, “Mayo ine, chifukwa cha kupweteka kwanga! Chilonda changa nʼchachikulu!” Koma ine ndinkaganiza kuti, “Ndithu, ili ndi vuto langa basi, choncho ndingolipirira.”
20 Ithente lami lidiliziwe, lentambo zami zonke ziqamukile; abantwana bami basukile kimi, njalo kabakho; kakho ongelula ithente lami futhi, amise amakhetheni ami.
Tenti yanga yawonongeka, zingwe zake zonse zaduka. Ana anga andisiya ndipo kulibenso. Palibenso amene adzandimangire tenti, kapena kufunyulula nsalu yake.
21 Ngoba abelusi sebenjengenyamazana, kabadinganga iNkosi; ngakho-ke kabaphumelelanga, lomhlambi wabo wonke uhlakazekile.
Abusa ndi opusa ndipo sanapemphe nzeru kwa Yehova; choncho palibe chimene anapindula ndipo nkhosa zawo zonse zabalalika.
22 Khangela, umsindo wombiko ufikile, lokuzamazama okukhulu okuvela elizweni lenyakatho, okuzakwenza imizi yakoJuda ibe lunxiwa, indawo yokuhlala yemigobho.
Tamvani! kukubwera mphekesera, phokoso lalikulu la gulu la a ankhondo likumveka kuchokera kumpoto! Lidzasandutsa bwinja mizinda ya ku Yuda, malo okhala nkhandwe.
23 Nkosi, ngiyazi ukuthi indlela yomuntu kayikho kuye; kakukho emuntwini ohambayo ukuthi aqondise ukunyathela kwakhe.
Inu Yehova, ndikudziwa kuti moyo umene munthu ali nawo si wake; munthuyo sangathe kuwongolera mayendedwe ake.
24 Nkosi, ngilaya, kodwa ngesahlulelo, hatshi olakeni lwakho, hlezi unginciphise.
Inu Yehova, langizeni, komatu mwachilungamo, osati ndi mkwiyo wanu, mungandiwononge kotheratu.
25 Thululela ulaka lwakho phezu kwabahedeni abangakwaziyo, laphezu kwensendo ezingabizi ibizo lakho; ngoba bamdlile uJakobe, bamginya, bamqeda, bachitha indawo yakhe yokuhlala.
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.
