Jeremia 50
1 Iri ndiro shoko rakataurwa naJehovha kubudikidza nomuprofita Jeremia pamusoro peBhabhironi nenyika yavaBhabhironi:
Uthenga umene Yehova anayankhula ndi mneneri Yeremiya wonena za mzinda wa Babuloni ndi anthu ake ndi uwu:
2 “Zivisai, uye paridzai pakati pendudzi, simudzai mureza uye paridzai; musasiya kana chinhu, asi muti, ‘Bhabhironi richakundwa; Bheri richanyadziswa, Merodhaki richazara nokutya. Zvifananidzo zvaro zvichanyadziswa uye zvifananidzo zvaro zvichazara nokutya.’
“Lengeza ndi kulalika pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina, kweza mbendera ndipo ulengeze; usabise kanthu, koma uwawuze kuti, ‘Babuloni wagwa; mulungu wawo Beli wachititsidwa manyazi, nayenso Mariduku wagwidwa ndi mantha. Milungu yake yagwidwa ndi mantha ndipo mafano ake adzagwidwa ndi mantha.’
3 Rudzi runobva kumusoro rucharirwisa, uye ruchaparadza nyika yaro. Hakuna munhu achagaramo; zvose vanhu nezvipfuwo zvichatizira kure.
Mtundu wa anthu wochokera kumpoto wadzathira nkhondo Babuloni ndi kusandutsa bwinja dziko lake. Kumeneko sikudzakhalanso munthu kapena nyama.
4 “Mumazuva iwayo, nenguva iyoyo,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “vanhu veIsraeri navanhu veJudha pamwe chete vachaenda kundotsvaka Jehovha Mwari wavo vachichema.
“Masiku amenewo, nthawi imeneyo,” akutero Yehova, “anthu a ku Israeli ndi anthu a ku Yuda onse pamodzi adzabwera akulira. Adzafunitsitsa kuchita zimene Yehova Mulungu wawo akufuna.
5 Vachabvunza nzira inoenda kuZioni, vagotendeutsira zviso zvavo kwairi. Vachauya vagozvisunga kuna Jehovha, nesungano isingaperi isingakanganwiki.
Adzafunsa njira ya ku Ziyoni ndi kuyamba ulendo wopita kumeneko. Iwo adzadzipereka kwa Yehova pochita naye pangano lamuyaya limene silidzayiwalika.
6 “Vanhu vangu vanga vari makwai akarasika; vafudzi vavo vakavatsausa, uye vakavaita kuti vadzungaire pamusoro pamakomo. Vakadzungaira pamusoro pamakomo nezvikomo, ndokukanganwa nzvimbo yavo yokuzorora.
“Anthu anga ali ngati nkhosa zotayika; abusa awo anawasocheretsa mʼmapiri. Iwo anayendayenda mʼmapiri ndi mʼzitunda mpaka kuyiwala kwawo.
7 Ani naani akavawana akavadya; vavengi vavo vakati, ‘Isu hatina mhosva, nokuti vakatadzira Jehovha, iye mafuro avo echokwadi, iye Jehovha, tariro yamadzibaba avo.’
Aliyense amene anawapeza anawawononga; adani awo anati, ‘Ife si olakwa, chifukwa iwo anachimwira Yehova, amene ali mpumulo wawo weniweni ndi amene makolo awo anamukhulupirira.’
8 “Tizai mubude muBhabhironi; siyai nyika yavaBhabhironi, mugoita sembudzi inotungamirira makwai.
“Thawaniko ku Babuloni; chokani mʼdziko la Ababuloni. Muyambe inu kutuluka ngati atonde amene amatsogolera ziweto.
9 Nokuti ndichamutsa Bhabhironi uye ndichaisa pamusoro paro ndudzi huru dzakabatana dzinobva kumusoro. Vachazvigadzirira kurwa naro, uye richakundwa kubva nechokumusoro. Miseve yavo ichava semhare pakurwa, dzisingadzoki dzisina chadzakabata.
Taonani, ndidzaukitsa gulu lankhondo lamphamvu la mitundu ina ndi kubwera nalo kuchokera kumpoto kudzamenyana ndi Babuloni. Iwo adzandandalika ankhondo awo ndi kugonjetsa Babuloni. Mivi yawo ili ngati ya ankhondo aluso, yosapita padera.
10 Naizvozvo Bhabhironi richapambwa; vose vanoripamba vachawana mugove wavo,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
Motero Ababuloni adzafunkhidwa; ndipo onse omufunkha adzakhuta,” akutero Yehova.
11 “Nokuda kwokuti munofara nokufarisisa, iyemi munopamba nhaka yangu, nokuti munokwakuka setsiru rinopura zviyo, muchirira samabhiza,
“Inu Ababuloni, munawononga anthu anga osankhika. Ndiye pano mukukondwa, mukusangalala. Mukulumphalumpha mokondwa ngati mwana wangʼombe wopuntha tirigu ndiponso mukulira monyada ngati ngʼombe zazimuna.
12 mai venyu vachanyadziswa kwazvo; ivo vakakuberekai vachanyadziswa. Vachava mudiki pandudzi, renje, nenyika yakaoma, uye gwenga.
Koma mzinda wanu udzachititsidwa manyazi kwambiri. Mzinda umene uli ngati mayi wanu udzanyazitsidwa. Babuloni adzasanduka chitsirizira cha anthu onse. Mzinda wawo udzakhala ngati thengo, ngati dziko lowuma lachipululu.
13 Nokuda kwokutsamwa kwaJehovha hamungagarwi, asi richava dongo chose. Vose vanopfuura pedyo neBhabhironi vachatyiswa, uye vacharidza muridzo nokuda kwamavanga ake ose.
Chifukwa cha mkwiyo wa Yehova Babuloni adzakhala wopanda anthu ndipo adzakhala chipululu chokhachokha. Onse odutsa kumeneko adzachita mantha ndipo azidzangotsonya chifukwa cha chiwonongeko chake chachikulu.
14 “Mirai panzvimbo dzenyu makakomba Bhabhironi, imi mose munowembura uta. Ripfurei! Musasiye kana museve nokuti rakatadzira Jehovha.
“Inu okoka uta, konzekani kuti muthire nkhondo mzinda wa Babuloni mbali zonse. Muponyereni mivi yanu yonse chifukwa anachimwira Yehova.
15 Pururudzai pamusoro pake kumativi ose! Rakanda mapfumo pasi, shongwe dzaro dzawa, masvingo aro akoromoka. Sezvo kuri kutsiva kwaJehovha, tsivai pariri; riitirei sezvarakaitira vamwe.
Mufuwulireni mbali zonse pakuti wagonja. Nsanja zake zagwa. Malinga ake agwetsedwa. Kumeneku ndiko kulipsira kwa Yehova. Mulipsireni, mumuchite zomwe iye anachitira anthu ena.
16 Bvisai mudyari muBhabhironi, nomucheki nejeko rake pakukohwa. Nokuda kwomunondo womumanikidzi mumwe nomumwe ngaadzokere kuvanhu vake, mumwe nomumwe ngaatizire kunyika yake.
Chotsani ku Babuloni munthu wofesa mbewu aliyense, ndiponso wodula tirigu ndi chikwakwa chake pa nthawi yokolola. Poona lupanga la ozunza anzawo, aliyense adzabwerera kwa anthu ake; adzathawira ku dziko la kwawo.
17 “Israeri makwai akapararira akadzingirwa kure neshumba. Akatanga kumudya akanga ari mambo weAsiria; akapedzisira kupwanya mapfupa ake ndiNebhukadhinezari mambo weBhabhironi.”
“Aisraeli ali ngati nkhosa zomwe zabalalika pothamangitsidwa ndi mikango. Mfumu ya ku Asiriya ndiye inayamba kuwapha Aisraeliwo. Wotsiriza anali Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni amene anachita ngati kuphwanya mafupa ake.”
18 Naizvozvo zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose, Mwari waIsraeri: “Ndicharanga mambo weBhabhironi nenyika yake, sokuranga kwandakaita mambo weAsiria.
Nʼchifukwa chake Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli akuti, “Ndidzalanga mfumu ya ku Babuloni pamodzi ndi dziko lake monga momwe ndinalangira mfumu ya ku Asiriya.
19 Asi ndichadzosera Israeri kumafuro ake, uye achafura paKarimeri nepaBhashani; achadya akaguta pazvikomo zveEfuremu neGireadhi.
Koma ndidzabwezera Israeli ku msipu wake ndipo adzadya mʼminda ya ku Karimeli ndi Basani; adzadya nakhuta ku mapiri a ku Efereimu ndi Giliyadi.
20 Mumazuva iwayo, panguva iyoyo,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “mhaka yaIsraeri ichatsvakwa, asi pachange pasina mhosva, uye zvivi zveJudha zvichatsvakwa, asi hapana chichawanikwa, nokuti ndichakanganwira vakasara vandakasiya.
Masiku amenewo, nthawi imeneyo,” akutero Yehova, “anthu adzafunafuna zolakwa za Israeli koma sadzapeza nʼchimodzi chomwe, ndipo adzafufuza machimo a Yuda, koma sadzapeza ndi limodzi lomwe, chifukwa otsala amene ndawasiya ndidzawakhululukira.
21 “Rwisai nyika yeMarataimi neavo vagere muPekodhi. Dzingirirai, urayai uye muvaparadze zvachose,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. “Muite zvose zvandakurayirai.
“Lithireni nkhondo dziko la Merataimu ndi anthu okhala ku Pekodi. Muwaphe ndi lupanga ndi kuwawonongeratu,” akutero Yehova. “Chitani zonse monga momwe ndakulamulani.
22 Mheremhere yehondo iri munyika, mheremhere yokuparadza kukuru!
Mʼdziko muli phokoso la nkhondo, phokoso la chiwonongeko chachikulu!
23 Yavhunika nokupwanyika seiko nyundo yenyika yose! Bhabhironi rava dongo seiko pakati pendudzi!
Taonani mʼmene waphwanyikira ndi kuwonongekera uja amati ndi nyundo ya dziko lonse lapansi. Mzinda wa Babuloni wasanduka chinthu chochititsa mantha pakati pa mitundu ina!
24 Ndakakuisira musungo, iwe Bhabhironi, uye wakabatwa usati wazviziva; wakawanikwa ukapambwa nokuti wakapikisana naJehovha,
Ndinakutchera msampha, iwe Babuloni, ndipo wakodwamo iwe wosazindikira kanthu; unapezeka ndiponso unakodwa chifukwa unalimbana ndi Yehova.
25 Jehovha akazarura dura rezvombo ndokubudisa zvombo zvehasha dzake, nokuti Ishe Jehovha Wamasimba Ose ane basa rokuita munyika yavaBhabhironi.
Yehova watsekula nyumba ya zida zake ndipo watulutsa zida za ukali wake, pakuti Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse ali ndi ntchito yoti agwire mʼdziko la Ababuloni.
26 Uyai murwe naro muchibva kure. Zarurai matura aro; muriunganidze semirwi yezviyo. Riparadzei zvachose, parege kuva navanosara.
Mumenyane naye Babuloni mbali zonse. Anthu ake muwawunjike ngati milu ya tirigu. Muwawononge kotheratu ndipo pasakhale wopulumuka ndi mmodzi yemwe.
27 Muuraye hondo diki dzaro dzose; ngadziendeswe kundobayiwa! Vane nhamo! Nokuti zuva ravo rasvika, nguva yokurangwa kwavo.
Iphani ankhondo ake onse. Onse aphedwe ndithu. Tsoka lawagwera pakuti tsiku lawo lachilango lafika.
28 Inzwai vanotiza navapoteri vanobva kuBhabhironi, vanoparidza muZioni kuti Jehovha Mwari wedu akatsiva sei, kutsivira temberi yake.
Tikumva anthu othawa nkhondo ochokera ku Babuloni akulengeza mu Yerusalemu za kulipsira kwa Yehova Mulungu wathu. Iye akulipsira chifukwa chowononga Nyumba yake.
29 “Kokerai vapfuri vemiseve varwe neBhabhironi, vose vanowembura uta. Rikombei rose; ngakurege kuva nounopukunyuka. Riripirei nokuda kwamabasa avo; riitireiwo sezvarakaita. Nokuti vakamhura Jehovha, Iye Mutsvene weIsraeri.
“Itanani anthu oponya mivi kudzathira nkhondo Babuloni. Muyitanenso onse amene amakoka mauta. Mangani misasa ya nkhondo momuzungulira; musalole munthu aliyense kuthawa. Muchiteni monga momwe iye anachitira anthu ena. Iyeyu ananyoza Yehova, Woyera wa Israeli.
30 Naizvozvo majaya aro achawira mumigwagwa; varwi varo vose vachanyarara kuti mwiro pazuva iro,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
Nʼchifukwa chake, anyamata ake adzaphedwa mʼmabwalo ake; ankhondo ake onse adzaphedwa tsiku limenelo,” akutero Yehova.
31 “Tarira, ndinorwa newe, iwe wokuzvikudza,” ndizvo zvinotaura Ishe Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, “nokuti zuva rako rasvika, nguva yokurangwa kwako.
“Taona, ndikukuthira nkhondo, iwe wodzikuzawe,” akutero Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, “chifukwa tsiku lako lafika, nthawi yoti ndikulange yakwana.
32 Anozvikudza achagumburwa agowa, uye hapana achamusimudza; ndichatungidza moto mumaguta ake uchapisa vose vakamupoteredza.”
Wodzikuzawe udzapunthwa nʼkugwa ndipo palibe amene adzakudzutse; ndidzayatsa moto mʼmizinda yake umene udzanyeketsa onse amene amuzungulira.”
33 Zvanzi naJehovha Wamasimba Ose: “Vanhu veIsraeri vakamanikidzwa, navanhu veJudha vakamanikidzwawo, vapambi vavo vose vakavabata, zvakasimba, vanoramba kuvaregedza kuti vaende.
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, “Anthu a ku Israeli akuzunzidwa, pamodzi ndi anthu a ku Yuda, ndipo onse amene anawagwira ukapolo awagwiritsitsa, akukana kuwamasula.
34 Asi mudzikinuri wavo ane simba; Jehovha Wamasimba Ose ndiro zita rake. Achavareverera nhaka yavo nesimba kuti azorodze nyika yavo, asi achashayisa zororo kuna avo vanogara muBhabhironi.
Koma Mpulumutsi wawo ndi wamphamvu; dzina lake ndi Yehova Wamphamvuzonse. Iye adzawateteza molimba pa mlandu wawo nʼcholinga choti abweretse mtendere mʼdziko lawo, koma adzavutitsa okhala ku Babuloni.”
35 “Munondo pamusoro pavaBhabhironi!” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “pamusoro peavo vagere muBhabhironi, napamusoro pamachinda aro navakachenjera varo!
Yehova akuti, “Imfa yalunjika pa Ababuloni, pa akuluakulu ake ndi pa anthu ake a nzeru!
36 Munondo pamusoro pavaprofita varo venhema! Vachava mapenzi. Munondo pamusoro pemhare dzaro! Vachazadzwa nokutya.
Imfa yalunjika pa aneneri abodza kuti asanduke zitsiru. Imfa yalunjika pa ankhondo ake kuti agwidwe ndi mantha aakulu.
37 Munondo pamusoro pamabhiza nengoro dzaro, napamusoro pavatorwa vose vari pazvigaro zvaro! Vachava vakadzi. Munondo pamusoro pepfuma yaro! Ichapambwa.
Imfa ilunjike pa akavalo ake ndi magaleta ake. Ilunjikanso pa magulu ankhondo achilendo amene ali pakati pawo kuti asanduke ngati akazi. Chiwonongeko chilunjikenso pa chuma chake kuti chidzafunkhidwe.
38 Mvura yaro zhinji ngaipwe! Ichaoma. Nokuti inyika yezvifananidzo, zvifananidzo zvichapenga nokutya.
Chilala chilunjike pa madzi ake kuti aphwe. Babuloni ndi dziko la mafano, ndipo anthu afika poyaluka nawo mafanowo.
39 “Saka mhuka dzomugwenga namapere zvichagarako, uye zizi richagara imomo. Haichazogarwizve, uye hapana achagaramo kusvikira kumarudzi namarudzi.
“Nʼchifukwa chake nyama zakuthengo ndi afisi zidzakhala kumeneko ndipo kudzakhalanso akadzidzi. Kumeneko sikudzapezekako anthu, ndithu anthu sadzakhalako pa mibado yonse.
40 Sokukoromorwa kwakaitwa Sodhomu neGomora naMwari pamwe chete namaguta akavakidzana nawo,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “saizvozvo hakuna achagarako; hakuna munhu achagara mairi.
Monga momwe Mulungu anawonongera Sodomu ndi Gomora pamodzi ndi mizinda yonse yozungulira,” akutero Yehova, “momwemonso palibe amene adzakhale kumeneko; anthu sadzayendanso mʼmenemo.
41 “Tarirai! Hondo inobva nechokumusoro; rudzi rukuru namadzimambo mazhinji ari kumutswa kubva kumagumo enyika.
“Taonani! Gulu lankhondo likubwera kuchokera kumpoto; mtundu wa anthu amphamvu pamodzi ndi mafumu ambiri, wanyamuka kuchokera kumathero a dziko lapansi.
42 Vakapakata uta namapfumo; vano utsinye uye havana tsitsi. Vanotinhira segungwa vakatasva mabhiza avo; vanouya vakaita savarume vakagadzirira kurwa, kuti vakurwise, iwe Mwanasikana weBhabhironi.
Atenga mauta ndi mikondo; ndi anthu ankhanza ndipo alibe chifundo. Phokoso lawo likumveka ngati mkokomo wa nyanja. Akwera pa akavalo awo, ndipo akonzekera kudzakuthira nkhondo iwe Babuloni.
43 Mambo weBhabhironi akanzwa guhu pamusoro pavo, maoko ake akapera simba. Kutya kwakamubata, kurwadziwa sekwomukadzi wosununguka.
Mfumu ya ku Babuloni yamva za mbiri yawo, ndipo yalobodokeratu. Ikuda nkhawa, ikumva ululu ngati wa mayi pa nthawi yake yochira.
44 Seshumba inouya ichibva mudondo reJorodhani ichienda kumafuro akapfuma, ndichadzinga Bhabhironi kubva munyika yayo pakarepo. Ndianiko akatsaurwa wandichagadza pane izvi? Ndiani akaita seni uye ndiani achamisidzana neni? Uye ndoupi mufudzi angandidzivisa?”
Taonani, monga mkango wochokera ku nkhalango ya ku Yorodani kupita ku msipu wobiriwira, momwemonso ine ndidzapirikitsa Babuloni mʼdziko lake mwadzidzidzi. Pambuyo pake ndidzawayikira wowalamulira amene ndamufuna Ine. Wofanana nane ndani ndipo ndani amene angalimbane nane? Ndi mtsogoleri wa dziko uti amene anganditengere ku bwalo la milandu?”
45 Naizvozvo, inzwai zvakarongwa naJehovha pamusoro peBhabhironi, zvaakaronga pamusoro penyika yavaBhabhironi: Makwayana emapoka avo achakwekweredzerwa kure; achaparadza mafuro awo zvachose nokuda kwavo.
Nʼchifukwa chake imvani. Izi ndi zimene Ine Yehova ndakonza zolangira anthu a ku Babuloni. Ngakhale ana omwe adzatengedwa ukapolo ndipo aliyense adzachita mantha chifukwa cha iwo.
46 Pachanzwikwa kutinhira kwokukundwa kweBhabhironi, nyika ichadedera; kuchema kwayo kuchanzwikwa pakati pamarudzi.
Akadzagwa Babuloni padzakhala mfuwu waukulu ndipo dziko lapansi lidzanjenjemera, ndipo kulira kwawo kudzamveka pakati pa mitundu yonse ya anthu.
