Kuungudza kwaJeremia 4
1 Haiwa, goridhe rasviba sei, goridhe rakaisvonaka harichabwinyi sei! Matombo matsvene aparadzirwa kumusoro kwenzira imwe neimwe.
Haa! Golide wathimbirira, golide wosalala wasinthikiratu! Amwazamwaza miyala yokongola ya kumalo opatulika pamphambano ponse pa mzinda.
2 Haiwa vanakomana vanokosha veZioni, kare vaimbokodzera chiero chavo chegoridhe, zvino voonekwa sehari dzevhu, iro basa ramaoko omuumbi wehari!
Haa! Ana a Ziyoni amtengowapatali amene kale anali ngati golide, tsopano ali ngati miphika ya dothi, ntchito ya owumba mbiya!
3 Kunyange makava anopa mazamu awo kuti anwise vana vawo, asi vanhu vangu vava vasina hanya seshiri dzemhou dziri mugwenga.
Ngakhale nkhandwe zimapereka bere kuyamwitsa ana ake, koma anthu anga asanduka ankhanza ngati nthiwatiwa mʼchipululu.
4 Nokuda kwenyota rurimi rwomwana mucheche runonamira mumukanwa make; vana vanopemha chingwa, asi hakuna anovapa.
Lilime la mwana lakangamira kukhosi chifukwa cha ludzu, ana akupempha chakudya, koma palibe amene akuwapatsa.
5 Avo vaisidya zvinonaka vava vapemhi mumugwagwa. Avo vakarerwa vachifuka nguo dzepepuru zvino vava kuvata pamadurunhuru edota.
Iwo amene kale ankadya zonona akupemphetsa mʼmisewu ya mu mzinda. Iwo amene kale ankavala zokongola tsopano akugona pa phulusa.
6 Kurangwa kwavanhu vangu kukuru kupinda kweSodhomu, rakaparadzwa pakarepo pasina ruoko rwakadzoka kuzoribatsira.
Kuyipa kwa anthu anga kunali kwakukulu kuposa anthu a ku Sodomu, amene anawonongedwa mʼkamphindi kochepa popanda owathandiza.
7 Machinda avo aipenya kupfuura chando, uye akanga akachena kupfuura mukaka, miviri yavo yakanga yakatsvuka kupfuura matombo anokosha amarubhi, kuratidzika kwavo kwakaita sokwesafiri.
Akalonga ake anali owala koposa chisanu chowundana ndi oyera kuposa mkaka. Matupi awo anali ofiira kuposa miyala ya rubi, maonekedwe awo ngati miyala ya safiro.
8 Asi zvino vasviba kupfuura chinʼai; hapana angavaziva mumigwagwa. Ganda ravo ranamira pamapfupa avo; raoma zvokufanana nedanda.
Koma tsopano maonekedwe awo ndi akuda kuposa mwaye; palibe angawazindikire mʼmisewu ya mu mzinda. Khungu lawo lachita makwinyamakwinya pa mafupa awo; lawuma gwaa ngati nkhuni.
9 Avo vakaurayiwa nomunondo vari nani pane avo vanourayiwa nenzara; vabayiwa nenzara, vaonda kwazvo nokuda kwokushayiwa zvokudya zvinobva muminda.
Amene anaphedwa ndi lupanga aliko bwino kuposa amene anafa ndi njala; chifukwa chosowa chakudya cha mʼmunda iwowa ankafowoka ndi njala mpaka kufa.
10 Namaoko avo vakadzi vaiva nomwoyo munyoro vakabika vana vavo, vakava zvokudya zvavo, pakaparadzwa vanhu vangu.
Amayi achifundo afika pophika ana awo enieni, ndiwo anali chakudya chawo pamene anthu anga anali kuwonongeka.
11 Jehovha akaratidza kutsamwa kwake kwose; akadurura hasha dzake dzinotyisa. Akabatidza moto paZioni akapisa nheyo dzaro.
Yehova wakwaniritsa ukali wake; wagwetsa pansi mkwiyo wake woopsa. Ndipo wayatsa moto mʼZiyoni kuti uwononge maziko ake.
12 Madzimambo enyika haana kutenda, kunyange navanhu vose vagere panyika, kuti vavengi vangapinda pamasuo eJerusarema.
Mafumu a pa dziko lapansi sanakhulupirire, kapena wina aliyense wokhala pa dziko lonse, kuti adani kapena ankhondo akhoza kulowa pa zipata za Yerusalemu.
13 Zvakaitika nokuda kwezvivi zvavaprofita varo uye nokuda kwezvakaipa zvavaprista varo, vakateura ropa ravakarurama mukati maro.
Koma izi zinachitika chifukwa cha kuchimwa kwa aneneri ake ndi mphulupulu za ansembe ake, amene ankapha anthu osalakwa pakati pawo.
14 Vanodzungaira munzira dzaro savarume mapofu. Vakasvibiswa neropa zvokuti hapana angada kubata nguo dzavo.
Tsopano akungoyendayenda mʼmisewu ya mu mzinda ngati anthu osaona. Iwo ndi odetsedwa kwambiri ndi magazi palibe yemwe angayerekeze nʼkukhudza komwe chovala chawo.
15 Vanhu vanodanidzira kwavari vachiti, “Ibvai! Hamuna kuchena! Ibvai! Ibvai! Musatibata!” Panguva yokutiza nokudzungaira kwavo, vanhu pakati pendudzi vanoti, “Havangarambi vachigara pano.”
Anthu akuwafuwulira kuti, “Chokani! Inu anthu odetsedwa!” “Chokani! Chokani! Musatikhudze ife!” Akamathawa ndi kumangoyendayenda, pakati pa anthu a mitundu yonse amati, “Asakhalenso ndi ife.”
16 Kutsamwa kwaJehovha kwavaparadzira; haachavachengetedza. Havana kukudza uprista, uye havana kuremekedza vakuru.
Yehova mwini wake wawabalalitsa; Iye sakuwalabadiranso. Ansembe sakulandira ulemu, akuluakulu sakuwachitira chifundo.
17 Meso edu oonera madzerere, tichitarisira rubatsiro rusingauyi; tiri pashongwe dzedu takatarisira rudzi rwaizotiponesa.
Ndiponso maso athu atopa nʼkuyangʼana, chithandizo chosabwera nʼkomwe, kuchokera pa nsanja zathu tinadikirira mtundu wa anthu umene sukanatipulumutsa.
18 Vanhu vakatitevera kwose kwatakaenda, zvokuti takatadza kufamba munzira dzedu chaidzo. Magumo edu akanga ava pedyo, mazuva edu apera, nokuti magumo akanga asvika.
Anthu ankalondola mapazi athu, choncho sitikanayenda mʼmisewu yathu mu mzinda. Chimaliziro chathu chinali pafupi, masiku athu anali owerengeka, chifukwa chimaliziro chathu chinali chitafika.
19 Vaitidzinganisa vaimhanya kupfuura makondo okudenga; vakatidzinganisa napamusoro pamakomo uye vakatigaririra murenje.
Otilondola akuthamanga kwambiri kuposa ziwombankhanga mu mlengalenga; anatithamangitsa mpaka ku mapiri ndi kutibisalira mʼchipululu.
20 Muzodziwa waJehovha, iye mweya wedu wokufema chaiwo, akanga abatwa mumisungo yavo. Takafunga kuti mumumvuri wake taizorarama pakati pendudzi.
Wodzozedwa wa Yehova, mpweya wathu wotipatsa moyo, anakodwa mʼmisampha yawo. Tinaganiza kuti tidzakhala pansi pa mthunzi wake pakati pa mitundu ya anthu.
21 Pembera ufare, iwe Mwanasikana weEdhomu, iwe unogara munyika yeUzi. Asi newewo uchapiwa mukombe uyu; uchadhakwa uye uchazvibvisa nguo.
Kondwera ndi kusangalala, mwana wamkazi wa Edomu. Iwe amene umakhala mʼdziko la Uzi. Koma iwenso chikho chidzakupeza; udzaledzera mpaka kukhala maliseche.
22 Iwe, Mwanasikana weZioni, kurangwa kwako kuchaguma; haangawedzeri mazuva ako outapwa. Asi, iwe Mwanasikana weEdhomu, acharanga chivi chako agoratidza kuipa kwako.
Iwe mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni, chilango chako chidzatha; Iye sadzatalikitsa nthawi yako ya ukapolo. Koma Yehova adzalanga machimo ako, iwe mwana wamkazi wa Edomu, ndi kuyika poyera mphulupulu zako.
