Jeremia 8
1 “‘Panguva iyoyo, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, mapfupa amadzimambo namachinda eJudha, namapfupa avaprista navaprofita, uye mapfupa avanhu veJerusarema, achabviswa kubva mumakuva avo.
Yehova akuti, “‘Pa nthawi imeneyo, mafupa a mafumu ndi a akuluakulu a ku Yuda, mafupa a ansembe ndi a aneneri, ndiponso mafupa a anthu a ku Yerusalemu adzafukulidwa.
2 Achava pamhene agorohwa nezuva uye achavhenekwa nomwedzi nenyeredzi dzose dzedenga, zvavakada vakazvishumira vakazvitevera uye vakabvunza kwazviri, vakazvinamata. Haangaunganidzwi kana kuvigwa, asi achafanana nomupfudze uri panyika.
Adzawamwaza pa nthaka kuyangʼana dzuwa, mwezi ndi nyenyezi zonse zamlengalenga, zimene ankazikonda, kuzitumikira ndi kuzitsatira, kupemphako nzeru ndiponso kuzilambira. Mafupawo sadzawasonkhanitsa kapena kuwakwirira, koma adzakhala ngati ndowe pamwamba pa nthaka.
3 Kwose zvako kwandichavadzingira, vakasara vose vorudzi urwu rwakaipa, vachademba rufu pachinzvimbo choupenyu, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha Wamasimba Ose.’
Otsala onse a mtundu woyipawu adzafuna imfa kopambana moyo kulikonse kumene ndidzawapirikitsirako, akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.’”
4 “Uti kwavari, ‘Zvanzi naJehovha: “‘Vanhu pavanowira pasi, havamukizve here? Munhu akange ambotsauka, haadzokizve here?
“Tsono awuze anthuwa, ‘Yehova akuti: “‘Kodi anthu akagwa sangadzukenso? Munthu akasochera kodi sangathe kubwereranso?
5 Zvino nemhaka yei ava vadzokera shure? Nemhaka yei Jerusarema richingogara richitsauka? Vanobatirira pakunyengera, vanoramba kudzoka.
Chifukwa chiyani nanga anthu awa akupitirirabe kuchimwa, osabwerera? Chifukwa chiyani Yerusalemu akubwerera mʼmbuyo? Iwo akangamira chinyengo; akukana kubwerera.
6 Ndakanyatsoteereresa, asi ivo havambotauri zvakarurama. Hakuna anotendeuka pane zvakaipa zvake achiti, “Ndaiteiko?” Mumwe nomumwe anongotevedza nzira yake sebhiza rinomhanyira kurwa hondo.
Ine ndinatchera khutu kumvetsera koma iwo sanayankhulepo zoona. Palibe woyipa amene analapapo zoyipa zake, nʼkumati, ‘Ine ndachita chiyani?’ Aliyense akutsatira njira yake ngati kavalo wothamangira nkhondo.
7 Kunyange shohori riri mudenga rinoziva nguva dzaro dzakatarwa, uye njiva, nenyenganyenga nekondo zvinocherechedza nguva yazvo yokutama. Asi vanhu vangu havazivi zvinodikanwa naJehovha.
Mbalame yotchedwa kakowa ija imadziwa nthawi yake mlengalenga. Koma nkhunda, namzeze ndi chingalu zimadziwa nthawi yonyamukira ulendo, koma anthu anga sadziwa malamulo a Yehova.
8 “‘Munoreva seiko muchiti, “Takachenjera, nokuti tino murayiro waJehovha,” asi zvirokwazvo chinyoreso chenhema chavanyori chakanyora nhema?
“‘Inu mukunena bwanji kuti, ‘Ndife anzeru ndipo timasunga malamulo a Yehova?’ Koma ndi alembi anu amene akulemba zabodza.
9 Vakachenjera vachanyadziswa, vachavhunduka uye vachabatwa. Sezvo vakaramba shoko raJehovha, kuchenjera kwavanako kwakadiniko?
Anthu anzeru achita manyazi; athedwa nzeru ndipo agwidwa. Iwo anakana mawu a Yehova. Nanga tsono nzeru zawo ziwapinduliranji?
10 Naizvozvo ndichapa vakadzi vavo kuna vamwe varume, neminda yavo kuvaridzi vatsva. Kubva kumuduku kusvikira kumukuru vose vanokarira pfuma; vaprofita navaprista saizvozvo, vose vanoita nokunyengera.
Nʼchifukwa chake akazi awo ndidzawapereka kwa amuna ena ndipo minda yawo ndidzayipereka kwa amene adzawagonjetse. Kuyambira wamngʼono mpaka wamkulu, onse ali ndi khalidwe lofuna kupeza chuma mwakuba. Aneneri pamodzi ndi ansembe omwe, onse amachita zachinyengo.
11 Vanosunga vanga ravanhu vangu sokunge duku duku. Vanoti, “Rugare, rugare,” ipo pasina rugare.
Iwo amapoletsa zilonda za anthu anga pamwamba chabe nʼkumati, ‘Mtendere, mtendere,’ pamene palibe mtendere.
12 Ko, vanonyadziswa netsika dzavo dzinonyangadza here? Kwete, havana kana nyadzi zvachose; havambozivi kuti zvinonyadzisa sei. Saka vachawa pakati pavakawa; vachaderedzwa pavacharangwa, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
Kodi amachita manyazi akamachita zonyansazi? Ayi, alibe manyazi ndi pangʼono pomwe; iwo sadziwa nʼkugwetsa nkhope komwe. Choncho iwo adzagwera pakati pa anzawo amene agwa kale; adzagwa pansi tsiku limene ndidzawalanga, akutero Yehova.
13 “‘Ndichavatorera zvavakakohwa, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha. Hapangazovi namazambiringa pamuzambiringa. Hakungazovi namaonde pamuti womuonde, uye mashizha azvo achaoma. Zvandakavapa vachazvitorerwa.’”
“‘Ndidzatenga zokolola zawo, Sipadzakhalanso mphesa pa mpesa kapena nkhuyu pa mkuyu, ndipo masamba ake adzawuma. Zinthu zimene ndinawapatsa ndidzawachotsera.’”
14 “Ko, takagarireiko pano? Unganai pamwe chete! Ngatitizirei kumaguta akakomberedzwa tindofira ikoko! Nokuti Jehovha Mwari wedu atitongera kufa, nokuti akatipa mvura ino muchetura kuti tinwe, nokuti takamutadzira.
Koma amati, “Tikukhala pano chifukwa chiyani? Tiyeni tonse pamodzi tithawire ku mizinda yotetezedwa ndi kukafera kumeneko. Pakuti Yehova Mulungu wathu watsimikiza kuti tiyenera kufa. Watipatsa madzi aululu kuti timwe, chifukwa tamuchimwira.
15 Takanga takatarisira rugare asi hakuna chakanaka chakauya; takatarisira kuporeswa asi paingova nokuvhundutswa.
Tinkayembekezera mtendere koma palibe chabwino chomwe chinachitika, tinkayembekezera kuchira koma tinakumana ndi zoopsa zokhazokha.
16 Kufemedzeka kwamabhiza omuvengi kunonzwika kuchibva kuDhani; panorira makono awo nyika yose inodedera. Auya kuzoparadza nyika nezvose zviri mairi, guta navose vanogara imomo.”
Kulira kwa ngʼombe zazimuna za mdani kukumveka kuchokera ku Dani; dziko lonse likunjenjemera chifukwa cha kulira kwa akavalowo. Akubwera kudzawononga dziko ndi zonse zimene zili mʼmenemo. Adzawononga mzinda ndi onse okhalamo.”
17 “Tarirai ndichatumira nyoka dzino uturu pakati penyu, mvumbi dzicharamba kuimbirwa, uye dzichakurumai,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
Yehova akuti, “Onani, ndikukutumizirani njoka zaululu, mphiri zimene munthu sangathe kuzilodza, ndipo zidzakulumani,”
18 Haiwa, Munyaradzi wangu, pakuchema kwangu, mwoyo wangu woziya mukati mangu.
Ndadzazidwa ndi chisoni kwambiri, mtima wanga walefukiratu.
19 Inzwai kuchema kwavanhu vangu kunobva kunyika iri kure kure: “Ko, Jehovha haazi muZioni here? Mambo waro haachimo here?” “Vakanditsamwisireiko nezvifananidzo zvavo, nezvifananidzo zvavo zvavatorwa zvisingabatsiri?”
Imvani kulira kwa anthu anga kuchokera ku dziko lakutali: akuti, “Kodi Yehova sali ku Ziyoni? Kodi mfumu yake sili kumeneko?” “Chifukwa chiyani akundiputa ndi mafano awo osema, ndi milungu yawo yachilendo?”
20 “Kucheka kwapfuura, zhizha rapera, asi tigere kuponeswa.”
“Nthawi yokolola yapita, chilimwe chapita, koma sitinapulumuke.”
21 Sezvo vanhu vangu vapwanyiwa, neniwo ndapwanyiwa; ndiri kuchema, uye ndiri kutya zvikuru.
Chifukwa cha mavuto a anthu anga, ine ndikumva kuwawa; ndikungolira ndipo mantha aakulu andigwira.
22 Ko, muGireadhi hamuna muti webharisamu here? Hakuna murapi ikoko here? Seiko zvino ronda ravanhu vangu risina kurapwa?
Kodi ku Giliyadi kulibe mankhwala ochiritsa? Kodi kumeneko kulibe singʼanga? Nanga chifukwa chiyani mabala a anthu anga sanapole?
