5 Asi havana kunzwa kana kuteerera: havana kudzoka kubva pane zvakaipa zvavo kana kurega kupisa zvinonhuhwira kuna vamwe vamwari.
Koma iwo sanamvere kapena kulabadira; sanatembenuke kusiya zoyipa zawo kapena kuleka kufukiza lubani kwa milungu ina.
6 Naizvozvo kutsamwa kwangu kunotyisa kwakadururwa; kukapisa maguta eJudha uye nenzira dzeJerusarema ndikazviparadza zvikava matongo sezvazvakaita nhasi.
Nʼchifukwa chake mkwiyo wanga unayaka ngati moto kutentha mizinda ya ku Yuda ndi misewu ya mu Yerusalemu ndi kuyisandutsa bwinja mpaka lero.
7 “Zvino, zvanzi naJehovha, Wamasimba Ose, Mwari waIsraeri: Munouyisireiko njodzi yakakura kudai pamusoro penyu nokuparadzira kubva kuJudha varume navakadzi, navana, navacheche nokudaro muchisara musina kana nomumwe?
“Ndiye tsopano Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli, akunena kuti, ‘Chifukwa chiyani mukufuna kudziwononga chotere? Kodi mukufuna kuti amuna, akazi, ana ndi makanda onse aphedwe ndi kuti mu Yuda musatsale ndi munthu mmodzi yemwe?
8 Munonditsamwisireiko nezvamunoita namaoko enyu, muchipisira zvinonhuhwira kuna vamwe vamwari vomuIjipiti kwamakaenda kundogara? Muchazviparadza pachenyu mukazviita chinhu chinotukwa nechinozvidzwa pakati pendudzi dzose dzepanyika.
Chifukwa chiyani mukuputa mkwiyo wanga popembedza mafano pofukiza lubani kwa milungu ina mʼdziko lino la Igupto mʼmene mukukhalamo. Kodi mukuchita zimenezi kuti mudziwononge nokha ndi kuti mudzisandutse chinthu choseketsa ndi chonyozeka pakati pa mitundu yonse ya dziko lapansi?
9 Makanganwa here zvakashata zvakaitwa namadzibaba enyu namadzimambo navanamambokadzi veJudha uye zvakashata zvakaitwa nemi navakadzi venyu munyika yeJudha nomunzira dzeJerusarema?
Kodi mwayiwala zoyipa zimene anachita makolo anu, mafumu a ku Yuda ndi akazi awo, ndiponso zoyipa zimene munachita inuyo ndi akazi anu mʼdziko la Yuda ndi mʼmisewu ya mu Yerusalemu?
10 Kusvikira pazuva ranhasi havana kuzvininipisa kana kuratidza rukudzo, kana kutevera murayiro wangu nezvirevo zvangu zvandakatema pamberi penyu napamberi pamadzibaba enyu.
Koma mpaka lero simunalape. Simunandilemekeze kapena kumvera malamulo anga amene ndinayikira inuyo ndi makolo anu.
11 “Naizvozvo, zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose, Mwari waIsraeri: Ndafunga kuuyisa njodzi pamusoro penyu ndigoparadza Judha yose.
“Nʼchifukwa chake Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli akunena kuti, ‘Ine ndatsimikiza zobweretsa mavuto pa inu ndi kuwatheratu anthu a ku Yuda.
12 Ndichabvisa vakasara veJudha vakanga vashinga kuenda kuIjipiti kundogarako. Vose vachafira muIjipiti, vachafa nomunondo kana kufa nenzara. Kubva kumuduku kusvikira kumukuru, vachafa nomunondo kana nenzara. Vachava chinhu chinotukwa nechinosemwa, chinhu chinoshorwa nechinonyadzisa.
Ndidzatenga anthu otsala a ku Yuda amene atsimikiza zopita ku Igupto ndi kukakhala kumeneko. Onse adzathera ku Igupto. Adzaphedwa ndi lupanga kapena kufa ndi njala. Kuyambira wamngʼono mpaka wamkulu, adzaphedwa ndi lupanga kapena kufa ndi njala. Adzasanduka chinthu chotembereredwa ndi chochititsa mantha, chinthu choseketsa ndi chonyozeka.
13 Ndicharanga vaya vanogara kuIjipiti nomunondo, nenzara uye nedenda sokuranga kwandakaita Jerusarema.
Ndidzalanga Ayuda okhala ku Igupto ndi lupanga, njala ndi mliri, ngati mmene ndinalangira anthu a ku Yerusalemu.
14 Hakuna kuna vakasara veJudha vakaenda kunogara kuIjipiti vachapunyuka kana kurarama kuti vadzoke kunyika yeJudha, uko kwavanoshuva kuti vadzokere kundogara; hakuna achadzoka kunze kwavashoma vachatiza.”
Motero mwa anthu amene anapita ku Igupto palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe adzapulumuke, kapena kukhala ndi moyo, kapena kubwerera ku Yuda. Palibe amene adzabwerere kupatula othawa nkhondo.’”
15 Ipapo varume vose vaiziva kuti vakadzi vavo vaipisira zvinonhuhwira kuna vamwe vamwari, pamwe chete navakadzi vose vaivapo, ungano huru, navanhu vose vakanga vagere Kumusoro neZasi kweIjipiti, vakati kuna Jeremia,
Tsono amuna onse amene anadziwa kuti akazi awo ankafukiza lubani kwa milungu ina, ndiponso akazi onse amene anali pamenepo, gulu lalikulu la anthu, pamodzi ndi anthu onse amene amakhala ku Patirosi mʼdziko la Igupto, anati kwa Yeremiya,
16 “Hatingateereri shoko rawataura kwatiri muzita raJehovha!
“Ife sitimvera uthenga umene watiwuza mʼdzina la Yehova!
17 Zvirokwazvo tichaita zvinhu zvose zvatakati tichaita. Tichapisira zvinonhuhwira kuna Mambokadzi woKudenga nokumudururira zvipiriso zvokunwa sezvatakaita isu namadzibaba edu, namadzimambo edu uye namachinda edu mumaguta eJudha nomunzira dzomuJerusarema. Panguva iyoyo takanga tine zvokudya zvizhinji uye takanga tigere zvakanaka tisina zvaitirwadza.
Koma tidzachitadi chilichonse chimene tinanena kuti tidzachita: Tidzafukiza lubani kwa mfumukazi yakumwamba ndipo tidzayipatsa nsembe yachakumwa ngati mmene tinkachitira ifeyo ndi makolo athu, mafumu athu ndi akuluakulu mʼmizinda ya ku Yuda ndi mʼmisewu ya mu Yerusalemu. Nthawi imeneyo ife tinali ndi chakudya chochuluka ndipo tinali pabwino, sitimapeza mavuto.
18 Asi kubva patakamira kupisira zvinonhuhwira kuna Mambokadzi woKudenga nokudururira zvipiriso zvokunwa kwaari, hapana chatakawana uye tanga tichingofa nomunondo nenzara.”
Koma kuchokera nthawi imene tinasiya kufukiza lubani ndi kupereka chopereka cha chakumwa kwa mfumukazi yakumwamba, ifeyo takhala tikusowa zinthu ndipo takhala tikuphedwa ndi lupanga ndi kufa ndi njala.”
19 Vakadzi vakapamhidzira vachiti, “Patakapisira zvinonhuhwira kuna Mambokadzi woKudenga, uye tikadururira zvipiriso zvokunwa kwaari, varume vedu vakanga vasingazivi here kuti taimuitira makeke akaita somufananidzo wake uye tichimudururira zvipiriso zvinonwiwa?”
Akazi anawonjezera kunena kuti, “Pamene tinkafukiza lubani kwa mfumukazi yakumwamba ndi kuyipatsa chopereka cha chakumwa, kodi suja amuna athu ankavomereza mmene timayipangira mfumukazi yakumwambayo makeke abwino olembapo chinthunzi chake ndi kuyipatsa chopereka cha chakumwa?”
20 Ipapo Jeremia akati kuvanhu vose, varume navakadzi, vakanga vachimupindura,
Yeremiya atamva kuyankha kumeneku anawawuza kuti,
21 “Ko, Jehovha haana kurangarira here uye akafunga pamusoro pezvinonhuhwira zvaipiswa mumaguta eJudha nomunzira dzeJerusarema nemi namadzibaba enyu namadzimambo enyu namachinda enyu uye navanhu venyika?
“Kodi mukuganiza kuti Yehova nʼkuyiwala kuti inuyo ndi makolo anu, mafumu anu ndi akuluakulu anu, ndiponso anthu onse, munkafukiza lubani kwa mafano a mʼmizinda ya ku Yuda ndi mʼmisewu ya mu Yerusalemu?
22 Jehovha akati haasisina mwoyo murefu pakuipa kwezviito zvenyu nezvinhu zvinonyangadza zvamakaita, nyika yenyu ikava chinhu chinotukwa uye nedongo risina anogaramo, sezvazvakaita nhasi.
Ndiye Yehova sakanathanso kupirira ndi machitidwe anu ndi zonyansa zimene munkachita. Nʼchifukwa chake dziko lanu linasanduka chipululu, chinthu choopsa ndi chotembereredwa. Dziko lopandamo anthu monga zilili lero lino.
23 Nokuda kwokuti makapisira zvinonhuhwira uye makatadzira Jehovha uye hamuna kumuteerera kana kutevera murayiro wake kana zvirevo zvake kana zvaakatema, njodzi iyi yaiswa pamusoro penyu sezvamunoona zvino.”
Mavuto awa akugwerani chifukwa munkafukiza lubani ndipo munkachimwira Yehova pokana kumvera mawu ake ndi kutsatira malamulo ndi malangizo ake.”
24 Ipapo Jeremia akati kuvanhu vose kusanganisira vakadzi, “Inzwai shoko raJehovha, imi vanhu vose veJudha vari muIjipiti.
Kenaka Yeremiya anawuza anthu onse, makamaka akazi kuti, “Imvani mawu a Yehova, anthu onse a ku Yuda amene muli mu Igupto.
25 Zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose, Mwari waIsraeri: Imi navakadzi venyu maratidza nezviito zvenyu, zvamakavimbisa pamakati, ‘Zvirokwazvo mhiko dzedu dzatakapika tichadzizadzisa nokupisa zvinonhuhwira uye nokudururira zvipiriso zvokunwa kuna Mambokadzi woKudenga.’ “Endererai henyu mberi zvino, itai zvamakavimbisa! Chengetai mhiko dzenyu!
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli akuti: Inu ndi akazi anu munalonjeza ndi pakamwa panu, ndipo malonjezowo mwakwaniritsa. Inu munanena kuti, ‘Tidzachita zimene tinalonjeza, kufukizira lubani mfumukazi yakumwamba ndi kuyipatsa chopereka cha zakumwa.’ Tsopano chitanitu zimene munalonjezazo! Kwaniritsani malumbiro anu. “Yambani, chitani zimene munalonjeza! Kwaniritsani malumbiro anu!
26 Asi inzwai shoko raJehovha, imi vaJudha mose munogara muIjipiti: ‘Ndinopika nezita rangu guru,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, ‘kuti hakuna anobva kuJudha agere papi napapi zvapo muIjipiti achadana zita rangu kana kupika achiti: “Zvirokwazvo naIshe Jehovha mupenyu,”
Koma imvani mawu a Yehova, inu Ayuda nonse amene mukukhala mu Igupto: Yehova akuti, ‘Ine ndikulumbira mʼdzina langa lopambana kuti palibe wochokera ku Yuda amene akukhala mu Igupto amene adzatchule dzina langa polumbira kuti, ‘Pali Ambuye Yehova wamoyo.’
27 Nokuti ndinovarindira kuti ndivaitire zvakaipa kwete zvakanaka, vaJudha vari muIjipiti vachafa nomunondo uye nenzara kusvikira vose vaparadzwa.
Pakuti ndionetsetsa kuti ndiwachitire choyipa, osati chabwino. Anthu a ku Yuda amene akukhala ku Igupto adzaphedwa pa nkhondo. Ena adzafa ndi njala mpaka onse atatheratu.
28 Avo vachapunyuka pamunondo vakadzokera kunyika yeJudha vachibva kuIjipiti vachava vashoma kwazvo. Ipapo vose vakasara vavaJudha vakauya kuzogara kuIjipiti vachaziva kuti shoko rinogara nderani, rangu kana ravo.
Amene adzapulumuke ku lupanga ndi kubwerera ku dziko la Yuda kuchokera ku Igupto adzakhala ochepa kwambiri. Choncho otsala onse a ku Yuda amene anapita kukakhala ku Igupto adzadziwa kuti mawu woona ndi ati, anga kapena awo.
29 “‘Ichi ndicho chichava chiratidzo kwauri chokuti ndichakuranga panzvimbo ino,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, ‘kuitira kuti muzive kuti mashoko eyambiro yangu pamusoro penyu achamira zvirokwazvo.’
“Ine Yehova ndikukupatsani chizindikiro chakuti ndidzakulangani ku malo ano. Motero mudzadziwa kuti mawu anga akuti ndidzakulangani ndi woona.
30 Zvanzi naJehovha: ‘Ndiri kuisa Faro Hofira mambo weIjipiti mumaoko avavengi vake vanotsvaka kumuuraya, sezvandakaita Zedhekia mambo weJudha mumaoko aNebhukadhinezari mambo weBhabhironi, iye muvengi akanga achitsvaka kumuuraya.’”
Yehova akuti, ‘Ine ndidzamupereka Farao Hofira mfumu ya Igupto kwa adani ake amene akufuna kumupha, monga momwe ndinaperekera Zedekiya mfumu ya Yuda kwa Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni, mdani wake amene ankafuna kumupha.’”
