Jeremiah 46
1 The LORD’s word which came to Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations.
Yehova anamupatsa Yeremiya uthenga wonena za anthu a mitundu ina.
2 Of Egypt: concerning the army of Pharaoh Necoh king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon struck in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah.
Kunena za Igupto: Yehova ananena za gulu lankhondo la Farao Neko mfumu ya ku Igupto limene Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni analigonjetsa ku Karikemesi ku mtsinje wa Yufurate mʼchaka cha chinayi cha Yehoyakimu mwana wa Yosiya mfumu ya Yuda,
3 “Prepare the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle!
anati, “Konzani zishango zanu ndi malihawo, ndipo yambanipo kupita ku nkhondo!
4 Harness the horses, and get up, you horsemen, and stand up with your helmets. Polish the spears, put on the coats of mail.
Mangani akavalo, ndipo kwerani inu okwerapo! Khalani pa mzere mutavala zipewa! Nolani mikondo yanu, valani malaya anu ankhondo!
5 Why have I seen it? They are dismayed and are turned backward. Their mighty ones are beaten down, have fled in haste, and don’t look back. Terror is on every side,” says the LORD.
Yeremiya anati: Kodi ndikuona chiyani? Achita mantha akubwerera, ankhondo awo agonjetsedwa. Akuthawa mofulumirapo osayangʼananso mʼmbuyo, ndipo agwidwa ndi mantha ponseponse,” akutero Yehova.
6 “Don’t let the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape. In the north by the river Euphrates they have stumbled and fallen.
Waliwiro sangathe kuthawa ngakhale wankhondo wamphamvu sangathe kupulumuka. Akunka napunthwa ndi kugwa kumpoto kwa mtsinje wa Yufurate.
7 “Who is this who rises up like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge?
“Kodi ndani amene akukwera ngati Nailo, ngati mtsinje wa madzi amkokomo?
8 Egypt rises up like the Nile, like rivers whose waters surge. He says, ‘I will rise up. I will cover the earth. I will destroy cities and its inhabitants.’
Igupto akusefukira ngati Nailo, ngati mitsinje ya madzi amkokomo. Iye akunena kuti, ‘Ndidzadzuka ndi kuphimba dziko lapansi; ndidzawononga mizinda ndi anthu ake.’
9 Go up, you horses! Rage, you chariots! Let the mighty men go out: Cush and Put, who handle the shield; and the Ludim, who handle and bend the bow.
Tiyeni, inu akavalo! Thamangani inu magaleta! Tulukani, inu ankhondo, ankhondo a ku Kusi ndi Puti amene mumanyamula zishango, ankhondo a ku Ludi amene mumaponya uta.
10 For that day is of the Lord, GOD of Hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge himself of his adversaries. The sword will devour and be satiated, and will drink its fill of their blood; for the Lord, GOD of Hosts, has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
Koma tsikulo ndi la Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse; tsiku lolipsira, lolipsira adani ake. Lupanga lake lidzawononga ndi kukhuta magazi, lidzaledzera ndi magazi. Pakuti Yehova, Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, adzapereka adani ake ngati nsembe mʼdziko la kumpoto mʼmbali mwa mtsinje wa Yufurate.
11 Go up into Gilead, and take balm, virgin daughter of Egypt. You use many medicines in vain. There is no healing for you.
“Pita ku Giliyadi ukatenge mankhwala iwe namwali Igupto. Wayesayesa mankhwala ambiri koma osachira; palibe mankhwala okuchiritsa.
12 The nations have heard of your shame, and the earth is full of your cry; for the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty, they both fall together.”
Anthu a mitundu ina amva za manyazi ako; kulira kwako kwadzaza dziko lapansi. Ankhondo akunka nagwetsanagwetsana, onse awiri agwa pansi limodzi.”
13 The word that the LORD spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon should come and strike the land of Egypt:
Uthenga umene Yehova anapatsa mneneri Yeremiya wonena za kubwera kwa Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni kudzathira nkhondo Igupto ndi uwu:
14 “Declare in Egypt, publish in Migdol, and publish in Memphis and in Tahpanhes; say, ‘Stand up, and prepare, for the sword has devoured around you.’
“Mulengeze ku Igupto. Mulengeze ku Migidoli. Mulengezenso ku Mefisi ndi ku Tapanesi. Muwawuze anthu akumeneko kuti, ‘Imani pamalo panu ndi kukhala okonzeka kudziteteza, chifukwa lupanga lidzawononga zonse zimene muli nazo.’
15 Why are your strong ones swept away? They didn’t stand, because the LORD pushed them.
Chifukwa chiyani mulungu wanu wamphamvu uja Apisi wathawa? Iye sakanatha kulimba chifukwa Yehova anamugwetsa.
16 He made many to stumble. Yes, they fell on one another. They said, ‘Arise! Let’s go again to our own people, and to the land of our birth, from the oppressing sword.’
Ankhondo anu apunthwa ndi kugwa. Aliyense akuwuza mnzake kuti, ‘Tiyeni tibwerere kwathu, ku dziko kumene tinabadwira, tithawe lupanga la adani athu.’
17 They cried there, ‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is but a noise; he has let the appointed time pass by.’
Kumeneku iwo adzafuwula kuti, ‘Farao, mfumu ya ku Igupto mupatseni dzina lakuti, Waphokoso, Wotaya mwayi wake.’
18 “As I live,” says the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts, “surely like Tabor among the mountains, and like Carmel by the sea, so he will come.
“Pali Ine wamoyo,” ikutero Mfumu, imene dzina lake ndi Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, “wina adzabwera amene ali ngati Tabori phiri lopambana mapiri ena, ngati phiri la Karimeli loti njoo mʼmbali mwa nyanja.
19 You daughter who dwells in Egypt, furnish yourself to go into captivity; for Memphis will become a desolation, and will be burned up, without inhabitant.
Konzani katundu wanu wopita naye ku ukapolo inu anthu a ku Igupto, pakuti Mefisi adzasanduka chipululu ndipo adzakhala bwinja mopanda wokhalamo.
20 “Egypt is a very beautiful heifer; but destruction out of the north has come. It has come.
“Igupto ali ngati mwana wangʼombe wokongola, koma chimphanga chikubwera kuchokera kumpoto kudzalimbana naye.
21 Also her hired men in the middle of her are like calves of the stall, for they also are turned back. They have fled away together. They didn’t stand, for the day of their calamity has come on them, the time of their visitation.
Ngakhale ankhondo aganyu amene ali naye ali ngati ana angʼombe onenepa. Nawonso abwerera mʼmbuyo, nathawa pamodzi. Palibe amene wachirimika. Ndithu, tsiku la tsoka lawafikira; ndiyo nthawi yowalanga.
22 Its sound will go like the serpent, for they will march with an army, and come against her with axes, as wood cutters.
Aigupto akuthawa ndi liwu lawo lili ngati la njoka yothawa pamene adani abwera ndi zida zawo, abwera ndi nkhwangwa ngati anthu odula mitengo.
23 They will cut down her forest,” says the LORD, “though it can’t be searched; because they are more than the locusts, and are innumerable.
Iwo adzadula nkhalango ya Igupto,” akutero Yehova, “ngakhale kuti ndi yowirira. Anthuwo ndi ochuluka kupambana dzombe, moti sangatheke kuwerengeka.
24 The daughter of Egypt will be disappointed; she will be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.”
Anthu a ku Igupto achita manyazi atengedwa ukapolo ndi anthu a kumpoto.”
25 The LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: “Behold, I will punish Amon of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with her gods and her kings, even Pharaoh, and those who trust in him.
Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli, akunena kuti, “Ndili pafupi kulanga Amoni mulungu wa Tebesi. Ndidzalanganso Farao ndi Igupto pamodzi ndi milungu yake yonse, mafumu ake ndi onse amene amamukhulupirira.
26 I will deliver them into the hand of those who seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants. Afterwards it will be inhabited, as in the days of old,” says the LORD.
Ndidzawapereka kwa amene akufuna kuwapha, ndiye kuti kwa Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni ndi atsogoleri ake ankhondo. Komabe, mʼtsogolomo Igupto adzakhalanso ndi anthu monga kale,” akutero Yehova.
27 “But don’t you be afraid, Jacob my servant. Don’t be dismayed, Israel; for, behold, I will save you from afar, and your offspring from the land of their captivity. Jacob will return, and will be quiet and at ease. No one will make him afraid.
“Iwe mtumiki wanga Yakobo, usachite mantha; usataye mtima, iwe Israeli. Ndithu Ine ndidzakupulumutsa kuchokera ku mayiko akutali, ndidzapulumutsanso zidzukulu zako kuchokera ku mayiko kumene anapita nazo ku ukapolo. Yakobo adzabwerera ndipo adzakhala motakasuka ndi pa mtendere, ndipo palibenso wina amene adzamuopsa.
28 Don’t be afraid, O Jacob my servant,” says the LORD, “for I am with you; for I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven 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.”
Iwe mtumiki wanga Yakobo, usachite mantha, pakuti Ine ndili nawe,” akutero Yehova. “Ndidzawonongeratu mitundu yonse ya anthu a ku mayiko kumene ndakupirikitsira, Koma iwe sindidzakuwononga kotheratu. Ndidzakulanga iwe ndithu koma moyenerera; sindidzakulekerera osakulanga.”
