Yeremiya
8 “Pa ndzidzi unoyu,” alonga Yahova, “magogodo a amambo a ku Yuda, magogodo a atsogoleri, magogodo a anyantsembe, magogodo a aprofeta na magogodo a anthu anakhala mu Yerusalemu anadzabuluswa munthumbi. 2 Magogodo anewa anadzasiyiwa pakweca, mbamwanikirwa na dzuwa, mwezi na pinthu pyonsene pyakudzulu,* pyakuti iwo akhapifuna, akhapitumikira, akhapitowera, akhapisaka mbapigodamira.+ Iwo nee anadzagumanywa nee kuikhwa munthumbi. Mbwenye anadzakhala ninga ndimu pa mataka.”+
3 “Mu mbuto zonsene zinafuna ine kuamwaza, ale anafuna kupulumuka pakati pa mbumba ineyi yakuipa anakhonda kukhala na umaso mbasankhula pyawo kufa,” alonga Yahova wa anyankhondo.
4 “Apange kuti: ‘Ipi ndi pidalonga Yahova:
“Kodi iwo anadzagwa mbacimwana kulamuka pontho?
Kodi munthu mʼbodzi angabwerera nduli, unango nee anabwererambo nduli?
5 Thangwi yanji anthu awa a ku Yerusalemu asapitiriza na makhaliro awo akukhonda kukhulupirika?
Iwo asapitiriza kucita pinthu pyakunyengeza;
Iwo asakhonda kubwerera nduli.+
6 Ine ndabva mbandipitiriza kubvesera, mbwenye iwo nee akhalonga pinthu pyandimomwene.*
Nkhabe munthu adatcunyuka madawo ace, nee kubvundza kuti: ‘Ninji pyenepi pidacita ine?’+
Mʼbodzi na mʼbodzi asabwerera mbacita pinthu ninga munacitira anthu azinji, ninga makavalo anathamanga kuenda kunkhondo.
7 Soliri yakuti ndi mbalame inamburuka kudzulu isadziwa ndzidzi wace;*
Djiwa, nyantambamibvi na ntcenga pisabwerera ndzidzi wawo ungakwana.
Mbwenye mbumba yanga nkhabe kudziwa ndzidzi wakuti ine Yahova ndinadzaatonga.”’+
8 ‘Thangwi yanji musalonga kuti: “Ndife anthu audziwisi pontho tiri na mwambo wa Yahova”?
Mwandimomwene, apfundzisi a mwambo asaphatisira lapi+ yawo toera kulemba pinthu pyauthambi.
9 Anthu audziwisi apaswa manyadzo.+
Iwo agopa kakamwe pontho anadzaphatwa.
Onani! Iwo akhonda mafala a Yahova,
Ndi udziwisi upi uli na iwo?
10 Na thangwi ineyi, ine ndinadzapereka akazawo kuna amuna anango,
Minda yawo ndinaipereka kuna anthu anango;+
Thangwi kutomera wangʼono mpaka wankulu, onsene asawina pinthu munjira yakukhonda kulungama;+
Kutomera mprofeta mpaka nyantsembe, onsene asabera andzawo.+
11 Iwo asayesera kukondza pironda pya mbumba yanga mwaciphamaso, mbalonga:
“Pali na ntendere! Pali na ntendere!”
Mu ndzidzi wakuti nkhabepo ntendere.+
12 Kodi iwo asakhala na manyadzo thangwi ya pinthu pyakunyanyasa pidacita iwo?
Iwo nkhabe kukhala na manyadzo, nee pangʼono pene!
Iwo nkhabe dziwa kuti ninji kukhala na manyadzo!+
Na thangwi ineyi, iwo anadzagwa pakati pa ale adagwa.
Iwo anadzagwa ine ndingaatcunyusa,’+ alonga Yahova.
13 ‘Ndingamala kuagumanya, ine ndinadzaafudza,’ alonga Yahova.
‘Nkhabe kudzasala mauva pamuti wa mauva, nee masambvu pamuti wa nsambvu, pontho masamba anadzabunyala.
Iwo anadzaluza pinthu pidaapasa ine.’”
14 “Thangwi yanji tiri nawa pano?
Tendeni tigumanyikane, tipite mʼmizinda ya mipanda yakuwanga+ toera tifere mwenemu.
Thangwi Yahova Mulungu wathu anadzatifudza,
Iye asatipasa madzi a venenu toera timwe,+
Thangwi ife tadawira Yahova.
15 Ife tikhadikhira ntendere, mbwenye nkhabe cinthu cadidi cidacitika,
Tikhadikhira ndzidzi wakuwangiswa, mbwenye basi ene tisaona pinthu pyakugopswa!+
16 Kulira kwa makavalo a anyamalwa kusabveka bulukira ku Dhani.
Dziko yonsene isatekenyeka,
Thangwi ya kulira kwa makavalo awo acimuna,
Anyamalwa asapita mbafudza dziko na pyonsene piri mwenemu,
Nzinda na anthu anakhala mwenemu.”
17 “Ine ndinatumiza nyoka kuna imwe,
Nyoka za venenu zakuti nkhabe kubviniswa,
Mwandimomwene, izo zinadzakulumani,” alonga Yahova.
18 Kutsukwala kwanga ndi kwakukhonda mala;
Ntima wanga uli kubva kupha.
19 Kubulukira ku dziko yakutali,
Mbumba yanga isakhuwa* toera kuphemba ciphedzo:
“Kodi Yahova nee ali ku Sioni?
Mambo wace nee ali kweneko?”
“Thangwi yanji iwo anditsukwalisa na madzimunthu awo akusemwa,
Na alungu awo a dziko inango akuti ndi akusowa basa?”
20 “Ndzidzi wakubvuna wapita, malimwe amala,
Mbwenye ife tidzati kupulumuswa!”
21 Ndiri wakutsukwala kakamwe thangwi ya pironda pya mbumba yanga;+
Ndiri wakutsukwala kakamwe,
Ndakundwa na kugopa.
22 Kodi ku Jiliyadhi+ nkhabeko mafuta a bhalsamu?
Kweneko nkhabeko munthu wakuti anakwanisa kukondza?+
Thangwi yanji mbumba yanga nee yawanga?+
