Jeremia 31
1 “Panguva iyo,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “ndichava Mwari wamarudzi ose aIsraeri, naivo vachava vanhu vangu.”
“Pa nthawi imeneyo,” akutero Yehova, “Ndidzakhala Mulungu wa mafuko onse a Israeli, ndipo iwo adzakhala anthu anga.”
2 Zvanzi naJehovha: “Vanhu vakapunyuka pamunondo vachawana nyasha mugwenga; ndichauya kuzopa zororo kuna Israeri.”
Yehova akuti, “Anthu amene anapulumuka ku nkhondo ndinawakomera mtima mʼchipululu; pamene Aisraeli ankafuna kupumula.”
3 Jehovha akazviratidza kwatiri kare, achiti: “Ndakakudai norudo rusingaperi; ndakakukwevai nokunaka kworudo rwangu.
Ine ndinawaonekera ndili chapatali ndipo ndinati, “Ine ndakukondani ndi chikondi chopanda malire. Nʼchifukwa chake ndipitiriza kukukondani.
4 Ndichakuvakazve, ipapo uchavakwa, iwe Mhandara Israeri. Uchatorazve matambureni ako ugoenda kundotamba navanofara.
Ndidzakusamaliraninso, inu anthu a Israeli; mudzasangalala poyimba tizitoliro tanu, ndipo mudzapita kukavina nawo anthu ovina mwachimwemwe.
5 Zvakare, muchasima minda yemizambiringa pamusoro pezvikomo zveSamaria; varimi vachaisima, vagofadzwa nezvibereko zvayo.
Mudzalimanso minda ya mpesa pa mapiri a Samariya; alimi adzadzala mphesa ndipo adzadya zipatso zake.
6 Pachava nezuva richadanidzira nharirire dziri pamusoro pezvikomo zveEfuremu, dzichiti, ‘Uyai, ngatikwidzei kuZioni, kuna Jehovha Mwari wedu.’”
Lidzafika tsiku pamene alonda adzafuwula pa mapiri a Efereimu nati, ‘Tiyeni tipite ku Ziyoni, kwa Yehova Mulungu wathu.’”
7 Zvanzi naJehovha: “Imbirai Jakobho nomufaro; pururudzirai mukuru wendudzi. Paridzai, rumbidzai, muchiti, ‘Haiwa Jehovha, ponesai vanhu venyu, ivo vakasara vaIsraeri.’
Yehova akuti, “Imbani mosangalala chifukwa cha Yakobo, fuwulani chifukwa cha mtundu wopambana mitundu yonse. Matamando anu amveke, ndipo munene kuti, ‘Yehova wapulumutsa anthu ake otsala a Israeli.’
8 Tarirai, ndichavauyisa vachibva kunyika yokumusoro, uye ndigovaunganidza kubva kumigumo yenyika. Pakati pavo pachava namapofu nezvirema, navanamai vane pamuviri navakadzi vanorwadziwa; boka guru richadzoka kuno.
Taonani, ndidzabwera nawo kuchokera ku dziko la kumpoto, ndidzawasonkhanitsa kuchokera ku malekezero a dziko lapansi. Anthu osaona, olumala, amayi oyembekezera ndi amene ali pa nthawi yawo yochira adzabwera nawo pamodzi. Chidzakhala chikhamu cha anthu obwerera kuno.
9 Vachauya vachichema; vachanyengetera pandinenge ndichivadzosa. Ndichavafambisa nepahova dzemvura, napanzira yakati chechetere yavasingagumburwi, nokuti ndiri baba vaIsraeri, uye Efuremu ndiye dangwe rangu.
Adzabwera akulira; koma Ine ndikuwatonthoza mtima, ndidzawaperekeza. Ndidzawatsogolera ku mitsinje yamadzi mʼnjira yosalala mmene sadzapunthwamo. Chifukwa ndine abambo ake a Israeli, ndipo Efereimu ndi mwana wanga woyamba.
10 “Inzwai shoko raJehovha imi ndudzi dzose; muriparidze kuzviwi zviri kure muchiti: ‘Iye akaparadzira Israeri ndiye achavaunganidza, uye achavachengeta somufudzi anochengeta boka ramakwai ake.’
“Imvani mawu a Yehova inu anthu a mitundu ina; lalikirani mawuwa kwa anthu a mayiko akutali a mʼmbali mwa nyanja; ‘Iye amene anabalalitsa Israeli adzawasonkhanitsanso ndipo adzayangʼanira nkhosa zake ngati mʼbusa.’
11 Nokuti Jehovha achasunungura Jakobho, uye agovadzikinura kubva muruoko rwaivo vane simba kupinda ivo.
Pakuti Yehova wawombola fuko la Yakobo anawapulumutsa mʼdzanja la anthu owaposa mphamvu.
12 Vachauya vachipembera nomufaro pamusoro peZioni; vachafara nokupa zvakanaka kwaJehovha, nokuda kwezviyo, newaini itsva uye namafuta, makwayana nemombe. Vachafanana nebindu rakanyatsodiridzwa, uye havachazosuwazve.
Anthuwo adzabwera akuyimba mofuwula pa mapiri a Ziyoni; adzasangalala ndi zinthu zabwino zochokera kwa Yehova. Zinthu zabwinozo ndi izi: tirigu, vinyo watsopano ndi mafuta, ana ankhosa ndi ana angʼombe. Iwo adzakhala ngati munda wothiriridwa bwino, ndipo sadzamvanso chisoni.
13 Ipapo varandakadzi vachatamba uye vachafara, majaya navatana vachafarawo. Ndichashandura kuchema kwavo kuti kuve mufaro; ndichavanyaradza uye ndichavapa mufaro pachinzvimbo chokusuwa.
Pamenepo anamwali adzavina ndi kusangalala. Anyamata ndi okalamba nawonso adzasangalala. Kulira kwawo ndidzakusandutsa chisangalalo; ndidzawasangalatsa nʼkuchotsa chisoni chawo.
14 Ndichagutsa vaprista nezvakawanda, uye vanhu vangu vachazadzwa nokupa zvakanaka kwangu,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
Ansembe ndidzawadyetsa chakudya chabwino, ndipo anthu anga adzakhuta ndi zabwino zanga,” akutero Yehova.
15 Zvanzi naJehovha: “Inzwi rinonzwikwa muRama, rokuungudza nokuchema kukuru, Rakeri achichema vana vake uye achiramba kunyaradzwa, nokuti vana vake havachipo.”
Yehova akuti, “Kulira kukumveka ku Rama, kulira kwakukulu, Rakele akulirira ana ake. Sakutonthozeka chifukwa ana akewo palibe.”
16 Zvanzi naJehovha: “Dzora inzwi rako pakuchema nameso ako pamisodzi, nokuti basa rako richaripirwa,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. “Vachadzoka vachibva kunyika yomuvengi.
Yehova akuti, “Leka kulira ndi kukhetsa misozi pakuti udzalandira mphotho ya ntchito yako,” akutero Yehova. “Iwo adzabwerako ku dziko la adani.
17 Saka ramangwana rako rine tariro,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. “Vana vako vachadzokera kunyika yavo.”
Tsono chiyembekezo chilipo pa zamʼtsogolo,” akutero Yehova. “Ana ako adzabwerera ku dziko lawo.
18 “Zvirokwazvo ndanzwa kuchema kwaEfuremu achiti: ‘Makandirova semhuru isina kupingudzwa, nokudaro ndakarangwa. Ndidzorei, ipapo ndichadzoka, nokuti imi ndimi Jehovha Mwari wangu.
“Ndithu ndamva Efereimu akubuwula kuti, ‘Ife tinali ngati ana angʼombe osamva. Koma inu mwatiphunzitsa kumvera. Mutibweze kuti tithe kubwerera, chifukwa ndinu Yehova Mulungu wanga.
19 Mushure mokutsauka kwangu, ndakatendeuka; ndakati ndanzwisisa ndakazvirova chipfuva. Ndakanyadziswa uye ndakaninipiswa nokuti ndakatakura nyadzi dzouduku hwangu.’
Popeza tatembenuka mtima, ndiye tikumva chisoni; popeza tazindikira ndiye tikudziguguda pachifukwa. Tachita manyazi ndipo tanyazitsidwa chifukwa tinachimwa paubwana wathu.’
20 Ko, Efuremu haasi mwanakomana wangu anodikanwa, mwana anondifadza here? Kunyange ndichimupikisa kazhinji, ndinoramba ndichimurangarira. Naizvozvo, mwoyo wangu unomushuva; ndinomunzwira tsitsi kwazvo,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
Kodi Efereimu si mwana wanga wokondedwa, mwana amene Ine ndimakondwera naye? Ngakhale nthawi zambiri ndimamudzudzula, ndimamukumbukirabe. Kotero mtima wanga ukumufunabe; ndimamumvera chifundo chachikulu kwambiri,” akutero Yehova.
21 “Zvimisirei shongwe dzenzira; misai zvikwangwani. Cherechedzai mugwagwa mukuru, mugwagwa wamunofamba nawo. Dzoka, iwe Mhandara Israeri, dzokera kumaguta ako.
“Muyike zizindikiro za mu msewu; muyimike zikwangwani. Yangʼanitsitsani msewuwo, njira imene mukuyendamo. Bwerera, iwe namwali wa Israeli, bwerera ku mizinda yako ija.
22 Uchadzungaira kusvikira rinhiko, iwe mwanasikana wokusatendeka? Jehovha achasika chinhu chitsva panyika, zvokuti mukadzi achambundikira murume.”
Udzakhala jenkha mpaka liti, iwe mwana wa mkazi wosakhulupirika? Yehova walenga chinthu chatsopano pa dziko lapansi; mkazi ndiye tsopano aziteteza mwamuna.”
23 Zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose, Mwari weIsraeri: “Pandichavadzosazve kubva kuutapwa, vanhu vari munyika yeJudha nomumaguta ayo vachataurazve mashoko aya okuti, ‘Jehovha ngaakuropafadze, iwe ugaro hwakarurama, iwe gomo dzvene.’
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli akuti, “Ndikadzabwera nawo anthuwa kuchokera ku ukapolo, anthu a mʼdziko la Yuda ndi amene akukhala mʼmizinda yake adzayankhulanso mawu akuti, ‘Yehova akudalitse, iwe malo achilungamo, iwe phiri lopatulika.’
24 Vanhu vachagara pamwe chete muJudha nomumaguta ayo ose, varimi navaya vanofamba namapoka avo.
Anthu adzakhala ku Yuda ndi ku mizinda yake pamodzi ndi alimi ndi oweta nkhosa.
25 Ndichasimbisa vanenge vaneta uye ndichagutsa vanenge vaziya.”
Ndidzatsitsimutsa anthu otopa ndipo ndidzadyetsa anthu anjala.”
26 Ipapo ndakamuka ndokuringa-ringa. Ndakanga ndarara zvakanaka.
Pamenepo ndinadzuka nʼkuyangʼana uku ndi uku. Tulo tanga tinali tokoma.
27 “Mazuva anouya,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “andichasima muimba yaIsraeri nomuimba yaJudha zvibereko zvavanhu nezvibereko zvemhuka.
“Masiku akubwera,” akutero Yehova, “pamene ndidzachulukitsa anthu pamodzi ndi ziweto mʼdziko la Israeli ndi la Yuda.
28 Sezvandakavarindira kuti ndidzure, ndikoromore, uye ndiwisire pasi, ndiparadze, ndiuyise njodzi, saizvozvo ndichavarindira, kuti ndivake uye ndisime,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
Monga momwe ndinasamalira powazula, powagwetsa, powagumula, powawononga ndi powachita zoyipa, momwemonso ndidzasamala powamanga ndi powadzala” akutero Yehova.
29 “Mumazuva iwayo vanhu havangazoti, “‘Madzibaba akadya mazambiringa anovava, mazino avana akaita hwadzira.’
“Mʼmasiku amenewo anthu sadzanenanso kuti, “Makolo adya mphesa zosapsa, koma mano a ana ndiye achita dziru.
30 Asi, mumwe nomumwe achafa nokuda kwezvakaipa zvake; ani naani anodya mazambiringa anovava, mazino ake achaita hwadzira.
Mʼmalo wake, munthu aliyense adzafa chifukwa cha tchimo lake. Iye amene adzadye mphesa zosapsazo ndiye amene mano ake adzachite dziru.”
31 “Nguva inouya,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “yandichaita sungano itsva neimba yaIsraeri uye neimba yaJudha.
“Masiku akubwera,” akutero Yehova, “pamene ndidzachita pangano latsopano ndi Aisraeli ndiponso nyumba ya Yuda.
32 Haingazofanani nesungano yandakaita namadzitateguru avo, pandakavabata ruoko kuti ndivabudise munyika yeIjipiti, nokuti vakaputsa sungano yangu, kunyange ndakanga ndiri murume kwavari,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
Silidzakhala ngati pangano limene ndinachita ndi makolo awo pamene ndinawagwira padzanja nʼkuwatulutsa ku Igupto; chifukwa anaphwanya pangano langa, ngakhale ndinali mwamuna wawo,” akutero Yehova.
33 “Iyi indiyo sungano yandichaita neimba yaIsraeri shure kwamazuva iwayo,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. “Ndichaisa murayiro wangu mundangariro dzavo uye ndigounyora mumwoyo yavo. Ndichava Mwari wavo, uye ivo vachava vanhu vangu.
“Ili ndi pangano limene ndidzachita ndi Aisraeli atapita masiku amenewo,” akutero Yehova. “Ndidzayika lamulo langa mʼmitima mwawo ndi kulilemba mʼmaganizo mwawo. Ine ndidzakhala Mulungu wawo ndipo iwo adzakhala anthu anga.
34 Hakuna munhu achadzidzisa muvakidzani wake kana hama yake, achiti, ‘Ziva Jehovha,’ nokuti vose vachandiziva, kubva kumuduku wavo kusvikira kumukuru,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. “Nokuti ndichavakanganwira kuipa kwavo, uye handingarangaririzve zvivi zvavo.”
Sipadzafunikanso kuti wina aphunzitse mnzake, kapena munthu wina kuphunzitsa mʼbale wake, kunena kuti, ‘Mudziwe Yehova,’ chifukwa onse adzandidziwa Ine, kuyambira wamngʼono mpaka wamkulu,” akutero Yehova. “Ndidzawakhululukira zoyipa zawo ndipo sindidzakumbukiranso machimo awo.”
35 Zvanzi naJehovha, iye anogadza zuva kuti rivhenekere masikati, anoisa chirevo kumwedzi nenyeredzi kuti zvivhenekere usiku, iye anomutsa gungwa kuti mafungu aro atinhire, Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, ndiro zita rake:
Yehova akuti, Iye amene amakhazikitsa dzuwa kuti liziwala masana, amene amalamula kuti mwezi ndi nyenyezi ziziwala usiku, amene amavundula nyanja kuti mafunde akokome, dzina lake ndi Yehova Wamphamvuzonse:
36 “Kana chete mitemo iyi ikabva pamberi pangu,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “ndiko kuti zvizvarwa zvaIsraeri zvigume kuva rudzi pamberi pangu.”
Ngati zimenezi zilekeka pamaso panga, akutero Yehova, pamenepo padzakhala pamathero a fuko la Israeli pamaso panga.
37 Zvanzi naJehovha: “Kana chete matenga ari kumusoro akagona kuyerwa, uye nheyo dzenyika dziri pasi dzikagona kunzverwa, ipapo ndipo pandingarambe zvizvarwa zvaIsraeri nokuda kwezvose zvavakaita,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
Yehova akuti, “Ndidzataya fuko la Israeli chifukwa cha machimo awo. Ngati patapezeka munthu amene angathe kupima zakuthambo nʼkufufuza maziko a dziko lapansi.”
38 “Mazuva anouya,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “andichavakirazve guta kubva paShongwe yeHananeri kusvikira paSuo reKona.
“Taonani masiku akubwera,” akutero Yehova, “pamene mzinda wa Yehova udzamangidwanso kuyambira ku Nsanja ya Hananeli mpaka ku Chipata cha Ngodya.
39 Rwodzi rwokuyera ruchatandavara kubva ipapo kusvikira kuchikomo cheGarebhi ndokudzoka ruchisvika kuGoa.
