Jeremia 10
1 Inzwai zvinoreva Jehovha kwamuri, imi imba yaIsraeri.
Inu Aisraeli, imvani zimene Yehova akunena.
2 Zvanzi naJehovha: “Regai kudzidza tsika dzendudzi kana kuvhundutswa nezviratidzo zviri kudenga kunyange hazvo ndudzi dzichivhundutswa nazvo.
Yehova akuti, “Musatsatire makhalidwe a anthu a mitundu ina kapena kuchita mantha ndi zizindikiro zamlengalenga, ngakhale anthu a mitundu ina amachita nazo mantha.
3 Nokuti tsika dzavanhu hadzina maturo; vanotema muti musango, muvezi ouveza nembezo.
Pakuti miyambo ya mitundu inayo ndiyachabechabe. Iwo amakadula mtengo ku nkhalango ndipo mmisiri amawusema ndi sompho.
4 Vanoushongedza nesirivha negoridhe; vanourovera nenyundo nezvipikiri kuti urege kuzungunuka.
Amakongoletsa chosemacho ndi siliva ndi golide; kenaka amachikhomerera ndi misomali kuti chisagwedezeke.
5 Sedukununu kumucheto womunda wamavise, zvifananidzo zvavo hazvigoni kutaura; zvinofanira kutotakurwa nokuti hazvigoni kufamba. Musazvitya; hazvigoni kukukuvadzai, uye hazvina nebasa rose.”
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 Hakuna akafanana nemi, imi Jehovha; muri mukuru, uye zita renyu iguru pasimba.
Palibe wofanana nanu, Inu Yehova; Inu ndinu wamkulu, ndipo dzina lanu lili ndi mphamvu yayikulu.
7 Ndianiko angarega kukutyai, imi Mambo wendudzi? Izvi ndizvo zvakakufanirai. Pakati pavakachenjera vose vendudzi nomuushe hwavo hwose, hakuna akafanana nemi.
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 Vose havana njere uye mapenzi; vanodzidziswa nezvifananidzo zvamatanda zvisingabatsiri.
Onsewo ndi opusa ndi opanda nzeru; malangizo awo amawatenga kuchokera kwa mafano achabechabe opanga ndi mitengo.
9 Sirivha yakapfurwa inotorwa kubva kuTashishi negoridhe richibva kuUfazi. Zvakaitwa nemhizha uye nomupfuri wegoridhe, zvopfekedzwa zvino nguo dzomucheka webhuruu nowepepuru, zvose zvinoitwa navabati vano umhizha.
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 Asi Jehovha ndiye Mwari wechokwadi; ndiye Mwari mupenyu, mambo wokusingaperi. Kana iye atsamwa, nyika inodedera; ndudzi hadzigoni kumira pamberi pehasha dzake.
Koma Yehova ndiye Mulungu woona; Iyeyo ndiye Mulungu wamoyo, Mfumu yamuyaya. Akakwiya, dziko limagwedezeka; anthu a mitundu ina sangathe kupirira ukali wakewo.
11 “Muvaudze kuti, ‘Vamwari ava, vasina kuita matenga nenyika, vachaparara panyika nepasi pamatenga.’”
“Awuze anthu awa kuti, ‘Milungu iyi, imene sinalenge dziko lakumwamba ndi dziko lapansi, idzawonongeka pa dziko lapansi ndi pansi pa thambo.’”
12 Asi Mwari akaita nyika nesimba rake, akateya nyika nouchenjeri hwake, uye akatambanudza matenga nokunzwisisa kwake.
Koma Mulungu analenga dziko lapansi ndi mphamvu zake; Iye anapanga dziko lonse ndi nzeru zake ndipo anayala thambo mwaluso lake.
13 Paanotinhira, mvura zhinji iri mumatenga inoita mubvumo; anoita kuti makore asimuke kubva kumigumo yenyika. Anotuma mheni pamwe nemvura, uye anouyisa mhepo kubva mumatura ake.
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 Mumwe nomumwe haafungi uye haana zivo; mupfuri mumwe nomumwe wegoridhe anonyadziswa nezvifananidzo zvake. Zvifananidzo zvake ndezvenhema; hazvina mweya mazviri.
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 Hazvina maturo, zvinhu zvokutuka; kutongwa kwazvo pakunosvika, zvose zvichaparara.
Mafanowo ndi achabechabe, zinthu zosekedwa nazo. Pamene anthuwo azidzaweruzidwa, mafanowo adzawonongedwa.
16 Iye anenge ari mugove waJakobho haana kufanana nazvo, nokuti ndiye Muiti wezvinhu zvose, kusanganisa naIsraeri, rudzi rwenhaka yake, Jehovha Wamasimba Ose ndiro zita rake.
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 Unganidzai nhumbi dzenyu mubve munyika, imi makakombwa.
Sonkhanitsani katundu wanu, inu amene mukukhala mʼlinga la ankhondo.
18 Nokuti zvanzi naJehovha: “Panguva ino ndichapotsera kure avo vanogara munyika ino; Ndichauyisa nhamo pamusoro pavo kuti vagotapwa.”
Pakuti Yehova akuti, “Tsopano Ine ndidzachotsa anthu onse amene akukhala mʼdziko lino; adzakhala pa mavuto mpaka adzamvetsa.”
19 Ndine nhamo nokuda kwokukuvara kwangu! Ronda rangu harirapiki! Asi ndakati, “Uku kurwara ndokwangu, uye ndinofanira kukutakura.”
Aliyense ankangoti, “Mayo ine, chifukwa cha kupweteka kwanga! Chilonda changa nʼchachikulu!” Koma ine ndinkaganiza kuti, “Ndithu, ili ndi vuto langa basi, choncho ndingolipirira.”
20 Tende rangu raparadzwa; mabote aro ose adamburwa. Vanakomana vangu vabva kwandiri uye havachipozve; hakuna asara zvino kuti amise tende rangu kana kumisa dumba rangu.
Tenti yanga yawonongeka, zingwe zake zonse zaduka. Ana anga andisiya ndipo kulibenso. Palibenso amene adzandimangire tenti, kapena kufunyulula nsalu yake.
21 Vafudzi havana njere, uye havabvunzi Jehovha; saka havabudiriri uye makwai avo ose apararira.
Abusa ndi opusa ndipo sanapemphe nzeru kwa Yehova; choncho palibe chimene anapindula ndipo nkhosa zawo zonse zabalalika.
22 Inzwai! Chiziviso chiri kuuya, bope guru richabva kunyika yokumusoro! Richaita kuti maguta eJudha aparare, agarwe namakava.
Tamvani! kukubwera mphekesera, phokoso lalikulu la gulu la a ankhondo likumveka kuchokera kumpoto! Lidzasandutsa bwinja mizinda ya ku Yuda, malo okhala nkhandwe.
23 Haiwa Jehovha, ndinoziva kuti upenyu hwomunhu hahusi hwake; hazvizi kumunhu kuti aruramise nzira dzake.
Inu Yehova, ndikudziwa kuti moyo umene munthu ali nawo si wake; munthuyo sangathe kuwongolera mayendedwe ake.
24 Ndirangei, Jehovha, asi chete nokururamisira, kwete mukutsamwa kwenyu, kuti murege kundiparadza zvachose.
Inu Yehova, langizeni, komatu mwachilungamo, osati ndi mkwiyo wanu, mungandiwononge kotheratu.
25 Dururirai kutsamwa kwenyu pamusoro pendudzi dzisingakurangarirei, pamusoro pavanhu vasingadani kuzita renyu. Nokuti vakadya Jakobho; vakamudya zvachose, uye vakaparadza nyika yake.
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.
