Jeremiah 30
1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,
Yehova anawuza Yeremiya kuti,
2 “The LORD, the God of Israel, says, ‘Write all the words that I have spoken to you in a book.
“Ine Yehova, Mulungu wa Israeli ndikuti, ‘Lemba mʼbuku mawu onse amene ndakuwuza.
3 For, behold, the days come,’ says the LORD, ‘that I will reverse the captivity of my people Israel and Judah,’ says the LORD. ‘I will cause them to return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they will possess it.’”
Nthawi ikubwera pamene ndidzachotse anthu anga, Israeli ndi Yuda kuchokera ku ukapolo ndi kuwabwezera dziko limene ndinapatsa makolo awo,’ akutero Yehova.”
4 These are the words that the LORD spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.
Nawa mawu amene Yehova anayankhula ndi anthu a ku Israeli ndi Yuda:
5 For the LORD says: “We have heard a voice of trembling; a voice of fear, and not of peace.
“Yehova akuti: “Ndamva kulira chifukwa cha nkhawa, ndamva kulira kwa mantha popeza palibe mtendere.
6 Ask now, and see whether a man travails with child. Why do I see every man with his hands on his waist, as a woman in travail, and all faces are turned pale?
Tsono khalani pansi ndi kudzifunsa kuti: Kodi munthu wamwamuna angathe kubereka mwana? Nanga nʼchifukwa chiyani ndikuona munthu aliyense wamwamuna atagwira manja ake pa mimba pake ngati mayi pa nthawi yake yochira? Chifukwa chiyani nkhope iliyonse ili yakugwa?
7 Alas, for that day is great, so that none is like it! It is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he will be saved out of it.
Mayo ine! Tsiku limeneli ndi lalikulu kwambiri! Sipadzakhala lina lofanana nalo. Idzakhala nthawi ya masautso kwa Yakobo, koma adzapulumuka ku masautsowo.”
8 It will come to pass in that day, says the LORD of Armies, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and will burst your bonds. Strangers will no more make them their bondservants;
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, “Pa tsiku limenelo, ndidzathyola goli la ukapolo mʼkhosi mwawo ndipo ndidzadula zingwe zowamanga; Aisraeli sadzakhalanso akapolo a alendo.
9 but they will serve the LORD their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to them.
Mʼmalo mwake, adzatumikira Yehova Mulungu wawo ndiponso Davide mfumu yawo, amene ndidzawasankhira.
10 Therefore do not be afraid, O Jacob my servant, says the LORD. Do not be dismayed, Israel. For, behold, I will save you from afar, and save your offspring from the land of their captivity. Jacob will return, and will be quiet and at ease. No one will make him afraid.
“‘Tsono usachite mantha, iwe mtumiki wanga Yakobo; usade nkhawa, iwe Israeli,’ akutero Yehova. ‘Ndithu ndidzakupulumutsa kuchokera ku dziko lakutali, zidzukulu zako kuchokera ku dziko la ukapolo wawo. Yakobo adzabwerera ndipo adzakhala modekha pa mtendere, ndipo palibe amene adzamuchititsa mantha.
11 For I am with you, says the LORD, to save you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered you, but I will not make a full end of you; but I will correct you in measure, and will in no way leave you unpunished.”
Ine ndili nanu ndipo ndidzakupulumutsani,’ akutero Yehova. ‘Ngakhale ndidzawononga kotheratu mitundu yonse ya anthu kumene ndinakubalalitsirani, koma inu sindidzakuwonongani kotheratu. Sindidzakulekani kuti mukhale osalangidwa. Koma ndidzakulangani mwachilungamo.’”
12 For the LORD says, “Your hurt is incurable. Your wound is grievous.
Yehova akuti, “Chilonda chanu nʼchosachizika, bala lanu ndi lonyeka.
13 There is no one to plead your cause, that you may be bound up. You have no healing medicines.
Palibe amene angathe kukutetezani pa mlandu wanu, palibe chiyembekezo choti inu nʼkuchira, palibe mankhwala ochiritsa inu.
14 All your lovers have forgotten you. They do not seek you. For I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins were increased.
Abwenzi anu onse akuyiwalani; sasamalanso za inu. Ndakukanthani ngati mmene mdani akanachitira. Ndipo ndakulangani mwa nkhanza, chifukwa machimo anu ndi ambiri, ndipo kulakwa kwanu ndi kwakukulu.
15 Why do you cry over your injury? Your pain is incurable. For the greatness of your iniquity, because your sins have increased, I have done these things to you.
Chifukwa chiyani mukulira nacho chilonda chanu? Bala lanu silingapole ayi. Ine ndakuchitani zimenezi chifukwa machimo anu ndi ambiri ndipo kulakwa kwanu nʼkwakukulu.
16 Therefore all those who devour you will be devoured. All your adversaries, everyone of them, will go into captivity. Those who plunder you will be plunder. I will make all who prey on you become prey.
“Tsono onse amene anakuwonongani, nawonso adzawonongedwa; adani anu onse adzapita ku ukapolo. Iwo amene anafunkha zinthu zanu, zinthu zawo zidzafunkhidwanso; onse amene anakusakazani nawonso adzasakazidwa.
17 For I will restore health to you, and I will heal you of your wounds,” says the LORD, “because they have called you an outcast, saying, ‘It is Zion, whom no man seeks after.’”
Ndidzachiza matenda anu ndi kupoletsa zilonda zanu, akutero Yehova, ‘chifukwa mukutchedwa anthu otayika. Amati, ndi anthu a ku Ziyoni awa amene alibe wowasamala.’”
18 The LORD says: “Behold, I will reverse the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have compassion on his dwelling places. The city will be built on its own hill, and the palace will be inhabited in its own place.
Yehova akuti, “Ndidzabwera nalo banja la Yakobo ku dziko lawo ndipo ndidzachitira chifundo malo ake okhalamo; mzinda wa Yerusalemu udzamangidwanso pa bwinja pake, nyumba yaufumu idzamangidwanso pa malo pake penipeni.
19 Thanksgiving will proceed out of them with the voice of those who make merry. I will multiply them, and they will not be few; I will also glorify them, and they will not be small.
Anthuwo adzayimba nyimbo zoyamika Yehova ndipo kudzamveka phokoso lachisangalalo. Ndidzawachulukitsa, ndipo chiwerengero chawo sichidzatsika; ndidzawapatsa ulemerero, ndipo sadzanyozedwanso.
20 Their children also will be as before, and their congregation will be established before me. I will punish all who oppress them.
Ana awo adzakhalanso monga mmene analili kale, ndipo gulu lawo ndidzalikhazikitsa pamaso panga; ndidzalanga onse owazunza.
21 Their prince will be one of them, and their ruler will proceed from among them. I will cause him to draw near, and he will approach me; for who is he who has had boldness to approach me?” says the LORD.
Mtsogoleri wawo adzakhala mmodzi mwa iwo. Wodzawalamulira adzachokera pakati pawo. Choncho ndidzawakokera kufupi ndi Ine ndipo iye adzandiyandikira. Ndani angalimbe mtima payekha kuyandikana nane popanda kuyitanidwa?” akutero Yehova.
22 “You shall be my people, and I will be your God.
“Choncho inu mudzakhala anthu anga, ndipo Ine ndidzakhala Mulungu wanu.”
23 Behold, the LORD’s storm, his wrath, has gone out, a sweeping storm; it will burst on the head of the wicked.
Taonani ukali wa Yehova wowomba ngati mphepo ya mkuntho. Mphepo ya namondwe ikuwomba pa mitu ya anthu oyipa.
24 The fierce anger of the LORD will not return until he has accomplished, and until he has performed the intentions of his heart. In the latter days you will understand it.”
Mkwiyo woopsa wa Yehova sudzachoka mpaka atakwaniritsa zolinga za mu mtima mwake. Mudzamvetsa zimenezi masiku akubwerawo.
