Yeremiya
17 “Madawo a mbumba ya Yuda alembwa na cakulemba naco ca utale.
Alembwa mʼmitima yawo na ntsonga ya dhiamanti,
Na pa nyanga za maguwa awo,
2 Ngakhale anawo, asakumbuka maguwa awo na miti yawo yakulambirwa,*+
Pakhundu pa miti mikulu ya masamba akubithimira na pa nthunda zikulu,+
3 Mʼmapiri kunja kwa nzinda,
Pinthu pyako na mpfuma zako zonsene ndinadzapipereka ninga pinthu pyakutapatwa,+
Inde, mbuto zanu zakulambira, thangwi ya madawo adacita imwe mupisa pyanu pyonsene.+
4 Imwe munadzakhonda mwekhene unthaka udakupasani ine.+
Ndinadzacitisa kuti mutumikire anyamalwa anu mu dziko inakhonda imwe kudziwa,+
Iwo unagaka kwenda na kwenda.”
5 Yahova alonga tenepa:
“Mbapaswe dzedze munthu ananyindira anthu,+
Ule ananyindira mphambvu za anthu,+
Wakuti ntima wace usasiya kubvera Yahova.
6 Iye anadzakhala ninga muti wakuti uli okhene nʼthando,
Iye nee anadzaona pinthu pyadidi pingabwera,
Mbwenye anadzakhala mu mbuto zakusowa madzi nʼthando,
Mu dziko yakulungula munyu, yakuti nkhabe munthu anakwanisa kukhalamo.
7 Mbapaswe nkhombo munthu ananyindira Yahova,
Wakuti cinyindiro cace ciri kuna Yahova.+
8 Iye anadzakhala ninga muti udatcekwa nʼkhundu mwa madzi,
Wakuti mitcitci yace isaenda mpaka mʼmadzi.
Ndzidzi wakupisa ungafika, iye nee anadzindikira,
Mbwenye masamba ace anadzakhala akubithimira ndzidzi onsene.+
Iye nee anadzudzumika pa caka cinakhonda kubvumba madzi,
Pontho nee anadzasiya kubala misapo.
9 Ntima ndi wakunyengeza* kakamwe kupiringana pinthu pinango pyonsene, pontho ndi wakusowa cidikhiro.*+
Mbani anakwanisa kuudziwa?
10 Ine Yahova ndisaona mwadidi piri muntima,+
Ndisaona pinanyerezera munthu nkati mwa ntima wace,
Toera kubwezera mʼbodzi na mʼbodzi mwakubverana na pinacita iye,
11 Munthu anawina mpfuma munjira yakukhonda kulungama,+
Ndi ninga nkhwale inakhalira mazai akuti nee ndi ace.
Mpfuma zace zinadzamala pakati pa umaso wace,
Pakumalisa, iye anadzapangizika kuti ndi munthu wakusowa ndzeru.”
12 Mbuto yathu yakucena,+
Ndi mpando waumambo wambiri wakuti usakuzwa kutomera pakutoma.
13 Imwe Yahova, cidikhiro ca Izraeli,
Onsene anakusiyani anadzapaswa manyadzo.
Ale anasiya kukutumikirani, madzina awo anadzalembwa pa pfumbi,+
Thangwi iwo asiya Yahova, ncera wa madzi akupasa umaso.+
14 Ndiwangiseni imwe Yahova; natenepa, ine ndinawanga,
Ndipulumuseni, natenepa ine ndinapulumuka,+
Thangwi imwe ndimwe ule anasimba ine.
15 Onani, anthu anango asandibvundza:
“Ali kupi mafala a Yahova?+
Mbapicitike pidalonga iye!”
16 Ninga nkumbizi, ine nee ndasiya kukutowerani,
Pontho nee ndafuna kuti ntsiku ya nyatwa ifike,
Imwe musadziwa mwadidi pinthu pyonsene pidalonga ine na mulomo wanga;
Pyonsene piri pamaso panu,
17 Lekani kukhala cinthu cakugopesa kuna ine.
Imwe ndimwe mbuto yanga yakuthawira pa ntsiku ya nyatwa.
18 Ale ananditcinga mbapaswe manyadzo,+
Mbwenye ine mbandileke kupaswa manyadzo,
Iwo mbagope,
Mbwenye ine mbandileke kugopa,
Abweresereni ntsiku ya nyatwa,+
Afudzeni mbamuamalisiratu.
19 Ipi ndi pidandipanga Yahova: “Ndoko mpaka pansuwo ukulu wa mbumba,* ule wakuti amambo a ku Yuda asapita nawo mbabuluka nawo, na pa misuwo inango yonsene ya mu Yerusalemu.+ 20 Iwe usafunika kuapanga tenepa: ‘Bveserani mafala a Yahova, imwe amambo a ku Yuda, mbumba yonsene ya ku Yuda na anthu onsene anakhala mu Yerusalemu, ale anapita na mʼmisuwo iyi. 21 Ipi ndi pidalonga Yahova: “Citani mphole-mphole toera mukhonde kuthukula mitolo pa ntsiku ya Sabudu, nee kupita nayo na pa misuwo ya Yerusalemu.+ 22 Lekani kubweresa mitolo pa ntsiku ya Sabudu buluka kunyumba kwanu, pontho lekani kuphata basa yakuwanga.+ Ntsiku ya Sabudu isafunika kukhala yakucena kuna imwe, ninga mudapanga ine ambuyanu.+ 23 Mbwenye iwo akhonda kubvera, pontho nee apitsalakana, iwo nee abvera, pontho nee atawira kulangwa.”’+
24 “‘“Mbwenye imwe mungandibvera na ntima onsene,” alonga Yahova, “mbamukhonda kupita na mitolo pa misuwo ya nzinda pa ntsiku ya Sabudu, pontho mungapitiriza kukoya ntsiku ya Sabudu ninga yakucena, mbamukhonda kuphata basa pa ntsiku ineyi,+ 25 penepo, amambo na akulu-akulu anakhala pa mpando waumambo wa Dhavidhi,+ anadzapitambo na pa misuwo ya nzinda uno, iwo anadzafamba na ngolo, pontho na makavalo; iwo pabodzi na akulu-akulu awo, amuna a ku Yuda na anthu anakhala mu Yerusalemu,+ pontho nzinda uno unadzakhala na anthu kwenda na kwenda. 26 Anthu anadzabwera buluka mʼmizinda ya ku Yuda, mupisa pya nʼkhundu mwa Yerusalemu, mu dziko ya Bhenjamini,+ ku gowa,+ mucisa ca ku mapiri na ku Nejebhu, nʼnyumba ya Yahova, iwo anadzabweresa ntsembe zakupiswa,+ miyoni,+ ntsembe za pyakudya,+ mafuta a olibhano na ntsembe zakupereka takhuta.+
27 “‘“Mbwenye angakhonda kubvera, pontho angakhonda kupitiriza kuona ntsiku ya Sabudu ninga yakucena, mbathukula mitolo, mbapita nayo na pa misuwo ya mu Yerusalemu pa ntsiku ya Sabudu, ndinadzapisa na moto misuwo ya nzinda, mwandimomwene, moto unoyu unadzapisa nyumba za ndzulu zidazungulirwa na mipanda yakuwanga mu Yerusalemu,+ pontho nee unadzathima.”’”+
