Jeremia 17
1 “Chivi chaJudha chakanyorwa nechinyoreso chesimbi, chakanyorwa nomuromo webwe rakapinza kwazvo, pahwendefa dzemwoyo yavo nepanyanga dzearitari dzavo.
“Tchimo la Yuda lazokotedwa ndi cholembera cha chitsulo, lalembedwa ndi msonga ya mwala wadayimondi. Uchimowo walembedwa pa mitima yawo ndiponso pa nyanga za maguwa awo.
2 Kunyange vana vavo vanorangarira aritari dzavo namatanda aAshera munyasi memiti yakapfumvutira uye napazvikomo zvakakwirira.
Ngakhale ana awo amakumbukira maguwa awo ndi zoyimiritsa ngati zifanizo za mulungu wawo Asera, pa tsinde la mitengo ya masamba ambiri, pa mapiri aatali mʼdzikomo.
3 Gomo rangu riri munyika uye pfuma yako namatura ako ose ndichazviendesa kuutapwa, pamwe chete nenzvimbo dzako dzakakwirira, nokuda kwechivi chiri munyika yako yose.
Chuma chanu ndiponso katundu wanu yense ndidzazipereka kwa ofunkha kuti zikhale dipo lawo chifukwa cha machimo ochitika mʼdziko lonse.
4 Nokuda kwokutadza kwako, ucharasikirwa nenhaka yandakakupa. Ndichakuita muranda wavavengi vako munyika yausingazivi, nokuti wakabatidza kutsamwa kwangu, uye kuchapfuta nokusingaperi.”
Mudzataya dziko limene ndinakupatsani kuti likhale cholowa chanu. Ndidzakusandutsani akapolo otumikira adani anu mʼdziko limene inu simukulidziwa, chifukwa mwabutsa mkwiyo wanga ngati moto, ndipo udzayaka mpaka muyaya.”
5 Zvanzi naJehovha: “Ngaatukwe munhu uyo anovimba nomumwe munhu, anovimba nesimba renyama ano mwoyo unofuratira Jehovha.
Yehova akuti, “Ndi wotembereredwa munthu amene amadalira munthu mnzake, amene amatsamira pa munthu mnzake kuti amuthandize pamene mtima wake wafulatira Yehova.
6 Achafanana negwenzi murenje; haangaoni kubudirira pakunosvika. Achagara munzvimbo dzakaoma dzemugwenga, munyika yomunyu isingagarwi nomunhu.
Munthuyo adzakhala ngati chitsamba mʼchipululu; iye sadzapeza zabwino. Adzakhala mʼchipululu mopanda madzi, mʼdziko lamchere limene munthu sangathe kukhalamo.
7 “Asi akakomborerwa munhu anovimba naJehovha, akaisa chivimbo chake maari.
“Koma ndi wodala munthu amene amadalira Yehova, amene amatsamira pa Iye.
8 Achafanana nomuti wakasimwa pamvura, unotuma midzi yawo kurukova. Hautyi kana kupisa kuchisvika; mashizha awo anogara ari manyoro. Haufunganyi mugore rokusanaya kwemvura, uye haumboshayiwi zvibereko.”
Adzakhala ngati mtengo wodzalidwa mʼmphepete mwa madzi umene umatambalitsa mizu yake mʼmbali mwa mtsinje. Mtengowo suopa pamene kukutentha; masamba ake amakhala obiriwira nthawi zonse. Suchita mantha pa chaka cha chilala ndipo sulephera kubereka chipatso.”
9 Mwoyo unonyengera kupfuura zvinhu zvose, uye wakaora chose. Ndiani angauziva?
Mtima wa munthu ndi wonyenga kupambana zinthu zonse ndipo kuyipa kwake nʼkosachizika. Ndani angathe kuwumvetsa?
10 “Ini Jehovha ndinonzvera mwoyo uye ndinoedza ndangariro, kuti ndipe munhu zvakaringana namafambiro ake, uye zvakafanira mabasa ake.”
“Ine Yehova ndimafufuza mtima ndi kuyesa maganizo, ndimachitira munthu aliyense molingana ndi makhalidwe ake ndiponso moyenera ntchito zake.”
11 Sechikwari chinochochonya mazai achisina kukandira, ndizvo zvakaita munhu anowana pfuma nokusarurama. Pakati pamazuva ake, zvichamusiya, uye pakupedzisira achazviona kuti ibenzi.
Munthu amene amapeza chuma mwachinyengo ali ngati nkhwali imene imafungatira mazira amene sinayikire. Pamene ali pakatikati pa moyo wake, chumacho chidzamuthera, ndipo potsiriza adzasanduka chitsiru.
12 Chigaro choushe chinobwinya, chakanga chakasimudzirwa kubva pakutanga, ndicho nzvimbo yedu tsvene.
Nyumba yathu yopemphereramo ili ngati mpando waufumu waulemerero wokhazikitsidwa pa phiri lalitali chiyambire.
13 Imi Jehovha, tariro yaIsraeri, vose vanokusiyai vachanyadziswa. Vose vanotsauka kwamuri vachanyorwa muvhu, nokuti vakasiya Jehovha, chitubu chemvura mhenyu.
Inu Yehova, chiyembekezo cha Israeli, onse amene amakusiyani adzachita manyazi. Iwo amene amakufulatirani mayina awo adzafafanizika ngati olembedwa pa fumbi chifukwa anakana Yehova, kasupe wa madzi amoyo.
14 Haiwa Jehovha, ndiporesei, ipapo ndichaporeswa; ndiponesei, ipapo ndichaponeswa, nokuti imi ndimi wandinorumbidza.
Inu Yehova, chiritseni, ndipo ndidzachira; pulumutseni ndipo ndidzapulumuka, chifukwa ndinu amene ndimakutamandani.
15 Vanogara vachiti kwandiri, “Shoko raJehovha riripiko? Ngarizadziswe iye zvino!”
Anthu akumandinena kuti, “Mawu a Yehova ali kuti? Zichitiketu lero kuti tizione!”
16 Handina kutiza pakuva mufudzi wenyu; munoziva kuti handina kushora zuva rokupera kwetariro. Zvinobuda mumuromo mangu zviri pachena pamberi penyu.
Ine sindinakuwumirizeni kuti muwalange. Mukudziwa kuti ine sindilakalaka tsiku la tsoka. Zonse zimene ndinayankhula Inu mukuzidziwa.
17 Musava chinhu chinotyisa kwandiri; ndimi utiziro hwangu pazuva renjodzi.
Musandichititse mantha; ndinu pothawira panga pa tsiku la mavuto.
18 Vatambudzi vangu ngavanyadziswe, asi ini ndidzivirirei pakunyadziswa; ngavavhunduswe ivo, asi ini ndidzivirirei kuti ndisavhunduswa. Uyisai pamusoro pavo zuva renjodzi; vaparadzei nokuparadza kwakapetwa kaviri.
Ondizunza anga achite manyazi, koma musandichititse manyazi; iwo achite mantha kwambiri, koma ine mundichotsere manthawo. Tsiku la mavuto liwafikire; ndipo muwawononge kotheratu.
19 Izvi ndizvo zvakataurwa naJehovha kwandiri: “Enda undomira pasuo ravanhu, panopinda nokubuda namadzimambo eJudha; ugondomirazve pane mamwe masuo ose eJerusarema.
Yehova anandiwuza kuti, “Pita ukayime pa chipata chodzerapo anthu, chimene mafumu a ku Yuda amalowerapo ndi kutulukirapo. Ukayimenso pa zipata zina zonse za Yerusalemu.
20 Uti kwavari, ‘Inzwai shoko raJehovha, imi madzimambo eJudha navanhu vose veJudha navose vanogara muJerusarema vanopinda napamasuo aya.
Ukawawuze kuti, ‘Imvani mawu a Yehova, inu mafumu onse a ku Yuda ndi anthu onse a ku Yuda ndi inu nonse okhala mu Yerusalemu amene mumatulukira pa zipata izi.’
21 Zvanzi naJehovha: Zvichenjererei kuti murege kutakura mutoro nomusi weSabata kana kuupinza napasuo reJerusarema.
Yehova akuti: samalani kuti pa tsiku la Sabata musanyamule katundu kapena kulowa naye pa zipata za Yerusalemu.
22 Musabudisa mitoro mudzimba dzenyu kana kuita basa ripi neripi pazuva reSabata, asi chengetai zuva reSabata rive dzvene, sezvandakarayira madzitateguru enyu.
Musalowetse katundu mʼnyumba zanu kapena kugwira ntchito pa tsiku la Sabata, koma mulipatule tsiku la Sabatalo, monga ndinalamulira makolo anu.
23 Asi havana kunzwa kana kurereka nzeve dzavo; vakava nemitsipa mikukutu uye havana kumboteerera kana kugamuchira kurayirwa.
Komatu iwo sanandimvere kapena kulabadira. Ndi mitima yawo yowumayo sanamvere kapena kulandira malangizo anga.
24 Asi kana mukachenjerera kuti munditeerere, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, mukasauya nemitoro napamasuo eguta iri nomusi weSabata, asi muchichengeta zuva reSabata kuti rive dzvene nokusaita basa ripi neripi pazuva iroro,
Yehova akuti, ‘Muzimvera Ine ndi kuleka kulowetsa kapena kutulutsa katundu pa zipata za mzinda pa tsiku la Sabata. Muzisunga tsiku la Sabata kuti likhale lopatulika posachita ntchito iliyonse pa tsikuli.
25 ipapo madzimambo anogara pachigaro choushe chaDhavhidhi vachauya napamasuo eguta namachinda avo. Ivo namachinda avo vachauya vakakwira ngoro namabhiza, vachiperekedzwa navarume veJudha navose vanogara muJerusarema, uye guta rino richagarwa nokusingaperi.
Mukatero ndiye mafumu anu amene akukhala pa mpando wa Davide adzatulukira pa zipata za mzindawu pamodzi ndi nduna zawo. Iwo pamodzi ndi nduna zawo azidzalowa atakwera magaleta ndi akavalo, akuperekezedwa ndi anthu a ku Yuda ndi amene amakhala mu Yerusalemu, ndipo mu mzinda muno mudzakhala anthu mpaka muyaya.
26 Vanhu vachauya kumaguta eJudha uye nokumisha yakapoteredza Jerusarema, kubva kunyika yeBhenjamini nokujinga rezvikomo zvokumavirira, nokunyika yemakomo uye nokuNegevhi, vachiuyisa zvipiriso zvinopiswa nezvibayiro, uye zvipiriso zvezviyo, nezvinonhuhwira nezvipo zvokuvonga kuimba yaJehovha.
Anthu adzabwera kuchokera ku mizinda ya Yuda ndi ku midzi yozungulira Yerusalemu, kuchokera ku dziko la Benjamini ndi ku mapiri a kumadzulo, kuchokera ku dziko la mapiri ndi ku Negevi. Adzabwera ndi nsembe zopsereza, nsembe zaufa ndi za chakudya, nsembe za lubani ndi zopereka zachiyamiko ku nyumba ya Yehova.
27 Asi kana mukarega kunditeerera kuti muchengete zuva reSabata kuti rive dzvene, musingaregi kutakura mutoro pamunopinda pamasuo eJerusarema nezuva reSabata, ipapo ndichabatidza moto usingadzimwe mumasuo eJerusarema uchapedza nharo dzaro.’”
Koma ngati simundimvera; mukapanda kusunga tsiku la Sabata kuti likhale lopatulika ndi kumanyamula katundu nʼkumalowa naye pa zipata za Yerusalemu pa tsikuli, Ine ndidzabutsa moto pa zipata za Yerusalemu. Moto umenewo udzanyeketsa nyumba zaufumu za ku Yerusalemu ndipo moto wake sudzazima.’”
