Yeremiya 4
1 “Ngati mukufuna kubwerera, inu Aisraeli, bwererani kwa Ine,” akutero Yehova. “Chotsani mafano anu onyansa pamaso panga ndipo musasocherenso.
Israel, if thou turnest ayen, seith the Lord, turne thou to me; if thou takist awei thin offendyngis fro my face, thou schalt not be mouyd.
2 Muzilumbira mokhulupirika ndiponso mwa chilungamo kuti, ‘Pali Yehova wamoyo.’ Mukatero anthu a mitundu ina yonse adzandipempha kuti ndiwadalitse ndipo adzanditamanda.”
And thou schalt swere, The Lord lyueth, in treuthe and in doom and in riytfulnesse; and alle folkis schulen blesse hym, and schulen preise hym.
3 Zimene Yehova akunena kwa anthu a ku Yuda ndi a ku Yerusalemu ndi izi: “Limani masala anu musadzale pakati pa minga.
For the Lord God seith these thingis to a man of Juda and to a dwellere of Jerusalem, Make ye newe to you a lond tilid of the newe, and nyle ye sowe on thornes.
4 Dziperekeni nokha kwa Ine kuti munditumikire ndi mtima wanu wonse, inu anthu a ku Yuda ndi ku Yerusalemu. Muzichita zimenezi kuopa kuti mkwiyo wanga ungabuke ngati moto ndi kukutenthani, chifukwa cha ntchito zanu zoyipazo popanda wina wowuzimitsa.
Men of Juda, and dwelleris of Jerusalem, be ye circumcidid to the Lord, and do ye awey the filthis of youre hertis; lest perauenture myn indignacioun go out as fier, and be kyndlid, and noon be that quenche, for the malice of youre thouytis.
5 “Lengeza ku Yuda ndi kulalikira mu Yerusalemu kuti, ‘Lizani lipenga mʼdziko lonse!’ Ndipo fuwulani kuti, ‘Sonkhanani! Tiyeni tithawire ku mizinda yotetezedwa!’
Telle ye in Juda, and make ye herd in Jerusalem; speke ye, and synge ye with a trumpe in the lond; crye ye strongli, and seie ye, Be ye gaderid togidere, and entre we in to stronge citees.
6 Kwezani mbendera kuyangʼana ku Ziyoni! Musachedwe, thawani kuti mupulumuke! Pakuti Ine ndikubweretsa chilango kuchokera kumpoto, kudzakhala chiwonongeko choopsa.”
Reise ye a signe in Sion, coumforte ye, and nyle ye stonde; for Y bringe yuel fro the north, and a greet sorewe.
7 Monga mkango umatulukira mʼngaka yake momwemonso wowononga mayiko wanyamuka ndi kutuluka ku mbuto yake. Watero kuti awononge dziko lanu. Mizinda yanu idzakhala mabwinja popanda wokhalamo.
A lioun schal `rise vp fro his denne, and the robbere of folkis schal reise hym silf. He is goon out of his place, to sette thi lond in to wildirnesse; thi citees schulen be distried, abidynge stille with out dwellere.
8 Choncho valani ziguduli, lirani ndi kubuwula, pakuti mkwiyo waukulu wa Yehova sunatichokere.
On this thing girde you with heiris; weile ye, and yelle, for the wraththe of the strong veniaunce of the Lord is not turned awei fro you.
9 “Pa tsiku limenelo, mfumu ndi nduna zake adzataya mtima, ansembe adzachita mantha kwambiri, ndipo aneneri adzathedwa nzeru,” akutero Yehova.
And it schal be, in that dai, seith the Lord, the herte of the king schal perische, and the herte of princis; and the prestis schulen wondre, and the prophetis schulen be astonyed.
10 Ndipo ine ndinati, “Haa, Ambuye Yehova, ndithu munawanyenga anthu awa pamodzi ndi Yerusalemu pamene munanena kuti, ‘Mudzakhala pa mtendere,’ chonsecho lupanga lili pakhosi pathu.”
And Y seide, Alas! alas! alas! Lord God; therfor whether thou hast disseyued this puple and Jerusalem, seiynge, Pees schal be to you, and lo! a swerd is comun `til to the soule?
11 Nthawi imeneyo anthu awa ndi Yerusalemu adzawawuza kuti, “Mphepo yotentha yochokera ku magomo a mʼchipululu ikuwomba pa anthu anga, osati mphepo yopeta kapena yoyeretsa;
In that tyme it schal be seide to this puple and to Jerusalem, A brennynge wynd in the weies that ben in desert, ben the weies of the douytir of my puple, not to wyndewe, and not to purge.
12 koma mphepo yamphamvu kwambiri yochokera kwa Ine. Tsono ndi Ineyo amene ndikuwaweruza.”
A spirit ful of hem schal come to me; and now Y, but Y schal speke my domes with hem.
13 Taonani, adani akubwera ngati mitambo, magaleta awo akubwera ngati kamvuluvulu, akavalo awo ndi aliwiro kupambana chiwombankhanga. Tsoka ilo! Tawonongeka!
Lo! he schal stie as a cloude, and hise charis as a tempest; hise horsis ben swifter than eglis; wo to vs, for we ben distried.
14 Iwe Yerusalemu, tsuka mtima wako kuchotsa zoyipa kuti upulumuke. Kodi maganizo ako oyipawo udzakhala nawo mpaka liti?
Thou Jerusalem, waische thin herte fro malice, that thou be maad saaf. Hou long schulen noiful thouytis dwelle in thee?
15 Pakuti amithenga akulalika mawu mʼdziko la Dani; akulengeza za masautso kuchokera ku mapiri a Efereimu.
For whi the vois of a tellere fro Dan, and makynge knowun an idol fro the hil of Effraym.
16 Iwo akuti, “Fotokozani zimenezi kwa anthu a mitundu ina, lengezani zimenezi mu Yerusalemu kuti, ‘Ankhondo akubwera kuchokera ku dziko lakutali, akufuwula ndi kudzazinga mizinda ya Yuda.
Reise, ye folkis; lo! it is herd in Jerusalem that keperis ben comun fro a fer lond, and yyuen her vois on the citees of Juda.
17 Azinga Yerusalemu ngati anthu olondera munda, chifukwa Yerusalemu wandiwukira,’” akutero Yehova.
As the keperis of feeldis thei ben maad on it in cumpas; for it stiride me to wrathfulnesse, seith the Lord.
18 “Makhalidwe anu ndi zochita zanu zakubweretserani zimenezi. Chimenechi ndiye chilango chanu. Nʼchowawa kwambiri! Nʼcholasa mpaka mu mtima!”
Thi weyes and thi thouytis han maad this to thee; this malice of thee, for it is bittir, for it touchide thin herte.
19 Mayo, mayo, ndikumva kupweteka! Aa, mtima wanga ukupweteka, ukugunda kuti thi, thi, thi. Sindingathe kukhala chete. Pakuti ndamva kulira kwa lipenga; ndamva mfuwu wankhondo.
Mi wombe akith, my wombe akith; the wittis of myn herte ben disturblid in me. Y schal not be stille, for my soule herde the vois of a trumpe, the cry of batel.
20 Tsoka limatsata tsoka linzake; dziko lonse lasanduka bwinja. Mwadzidzidzi matenti athu awonongedwa, mwa kanthawi kochepa nsalu zake zotchinga zagwetsedwa.
Sorewe is clepid on sorewe, and al the lond is distried; my tabernaclis ben wastid sudeynli, my skynnes ben wastid sudeynli.
21 Kodi ndikhale ndikuona mbendera ya nkhondo, ndi kumva kulira kwa lipenga mpaka liti?
Hou longe schal Y se hem that fleen, schal Y here the vois of a clarioun?
22 Yehova akuti, “Anthu anga ndi zitsiru; iwo sandidziwa. Iwo ndi ana opanda nzeru; samvetsa chilichonse. Ali ndi luso lochita zoyipa, koma sadziwa kuchita zabwino.”
For my fonned puple knew not me; thei ben vnwise sones, and cowardis; thei ben wise to do yuels, but thei kouden not do wel.
23 Ndinayangʼana dziko lapansi, ndipo linali lopanda anthu ndi lopanda kanthu; ndinayangʼana thambo, koma linalibe kuwala kulikonse.
Y bihelde the lond, and lo! it was void, and nouyt; and Y bihelde heuenes, and no liyt was in tho.
24 Ndinayangʼana mapiri, ndipo ankagwedezeka; magomo onse ankangosunthira uku ndi uku.
Y siy munteyns, and lo! tho weren mouyd, and all litle hillis weren disturblid.
25 Ndinayangʼana, ndipo sindinaone anthu; mbalame iliyonse ya mlengalenga inali itathawa.
Y lokide, and no man was, and ech brid of heuene was gon a wey.
26 Ndinayangʼana, dziko lachonde linali litasanduka chipululu; mizinda yake yonse inali itasanduka bwinja pamaso pa Yehova, chifukwa cha mkwiyo wake.
Y bihelde, and lo! Carmele is forsakun, and alle citees therof ben distried fro the face of the Lord, and fro the face of the ire of his strong veniaunce.
27 Yehova akuti, “Dziko lonse lidzasanduka chipululu komabe sindidzaliwononga kotheratu.
For the Lord seith these thingis, Al the lond schal be forsakun, but netheles Y schal not make an endyng.
28 Chifukwa chake dziko lapansi lidzalira ndipo thambo lidzachita mdima, pakuti ndayankhula ndipo sindidzafewa mtima, ndatsimikiza ndipo sindidzabwerera mʼmbuyo.”
The erthe schal mourne, and heuenys aboue schulen make sorewe, for that Y spak; Y thouyte, and it repentide not me, nether Y am turned awei fro it.
29 Pakumva phokoso la okwera pa akavalo ndi la anthu oponya mivi, anthu a mʼmizinda adzathawa. Ena adzabisala ku nkhalango; ena adzakwera mʼmatanthwe mizinda yonse nʼkuyisiya; popanda munthu wokhalamo.
Ech citee fledde fro the vois of a knyyt, and of a man schetynge an arowe; thei entriden in to hard places, and stieden in to roochis of stoon; alle citees ben forsakun, and no man dwellith in tho.
30 Iwe Yerusalemu, ndiwe bwinja! Ukutanthauza chiyani kuvala zovala zofiira ndi kuvalanso zokometsera zagolide? Ngakhale udzikonze maso ako powapaka zokometsera, ukungodzivuta chabe. Zibwenzi zako zikukunyoza; zikufuna kuchotsa moyo wako.
But what schalt thou `destried do? Whanne thou schalt clothe thee with reed scarlet, whanne thou schalt be ourned with a goldun broche, and schalt anoynte thin iyen with wommans oynement, thou schalt be araied in veyn; thi louyeris han dispisid thee, thei schulen seke thi soule.
31 Ndikumva kulira ngati kwa mayi pa nthawi yake yobereka, kubuwula ngati kwa mayi amene akubereka mwana wake woyamba. Kuliraku ndi kwa anthu a mu Ziyoni, wefuwefu. Atambalitsa manja awo nʼkumati, “Kalanga ife! Tikukomoka. Moyo wathu waperekedwa kwa anthu otipha.”
For Y herd a vois as of a womman trauelynge of child, the angwischis as of a womman childynge; the vois of the douyter of Sion among hem that dien, and spreden abrood her hondis; Wo to me, for my soule failide for hem that ben slayn.
