Yeremiya 4:1-31
4 Yahova alonga: “Iwe Izraeli, ungabwerera,Ungabwerera kuna ine,Pontho ungabulusa madzimunthu ako akunyanyasa pamaso panga,Nee unapitirizabve kukhala munthu wakuthawa-thawa.+
2 Ungacita pinthu pyandimomwene, pyadidi na pyakulungama, mbudumbira kuti:‘Ndiri kudumbira mu dzina ya Yahova Mulungu wa mʼmaso!’Penepo madzindza a anthu anadzapaswa nkhombo kubulukira mwa iye,
Pontho iwo anadzagaya thangwi ya iye.”+
3 Thangwi ipi ndi pidalonga Yahova kuna anthu a ku Yuda na a ku Yerusalemu:
“Sindulani* minda yanu idakhonda kulimwa,Lekani kubzwala pontho mbeu pakati pa minga.+
4 Cenesekani* pamaso pa Yahova,Pontho sidzani mitima yanu,+Imwe anthu a ku Yuda na imwe anakhala mu Yerusalemu,Toera ukali wanga ukhonde kugaka ninga moto,Mbugaka munjira yakuti nkhabe anafuna kwanisa kuuthimisa,Thangwi ya pinthu pyakuipa pinacita imwe.”+
5 Longani pyenepi ku Yuda, pontho dziwisani pyenepi ku Yerusalemu.
Khuwani, pontho lizani nyanga mu dziko yonsene.+
Khuwani mwakugaluza kakamwe, mbamulonga: “Gumanyikanani,
Tendeni tithawire mʼmizinda idazungulirwa na mipanda yakuwanga.+
6 Lamusani cidzindikiro* cinapangiza njira yakuenda ku Sioni.
Sakani pakuthawira, lekani kulimira kwene basi,”
Thangwi ndiri kubweresa nyatwa kubuluka kunkwiriro,+ nyatwa ikulu kakamwe.
7 Iye abuluka ninga nkhalamu inabuluka ntsanga pa mbuto inabisala iyo;+Nyakufudza madzindza a anthu akubwera.+
Iye abuluka ku mbuto inakhala iye toera kucitisa dziko yanu kukhala mbuto yakugopesa.
Mizinda yanu inadzafudzwa, mbisala madembe akusowa anthu.+
8 Na thangwi ineyi, bvalani masakha,+Lirani, mbamutsukwala,Thangwi ukali ukulu wa Yahova nee wabuluka pana ife.
9 Yahova alonga: “Pa ntsiku ineyi, mambo anadzaluza cipapo,*+Akulu-akulu anadzaluzambo cipapo;Anyantsembe anadzagopa kakamwe, aprofeta anadzasowa cakucita.”+
10 Penepo ine ndalonga: “Mama ine pano Yahova, Mbuya Wankulu Kakamwe! Mwandimomwene imwe musanyengeza kakamwe mbumba iyi+ na ya ku Yerusalemu, mungalonga kuti: ‘Imwe munadzakhala na ntendere,’+ mu ndzidzi wakuti supada iri pakhosi pathu.”*
11 Pa ndzidzi unoyu, mbumba iyi na ya ku Yerusalemu inadzapangwa kuti:
“Mphepo yakupisa kakamwe inabuluka ku mapiri akusowa tsanga a kuthando,Inadzapepesa mbumba yanga;*Iyo nee inabwera toera kumburusa mapwepwa peno kucenesa tirigu.
12 Mphepo iri kubwera na mphambvu yonsene buluka kweneko mwakubverana na pidalonga ine.
Cincino ndinaadziwisa kutonga kunafuna kuacita ine.
13 Onani! Iye anabwera ninga makole a madzi anafuna kubvumba,Pontho ngolo zace za nkhondo ndi ninga condzi.+
Makavalo ace asathamanga kakamwe kupiringana pyapungu.+
Dzedze kuna ife, thangwi tamala kufudzwa!
14 Iwe Yerusalemu, tsuka uipi wa muntima mwako toera upulumuswe.+
Mpaka lini unapitiriza kukhala na manyerezero akuipa?
15 Fala iri kubweresa mphangwa buluka ku Dhani,+Pontho iri kudziwisa nyatwa kubulukira ku mapiri a Efraimu.
16 Longani pyenepi kuna madzindza a anthu;Dziwisani pyenepi ku Yerusalemu.”
“Anyakuonera anafika buluka ku dziko yakutali,Pontho iwo anadzakhuwira mizinda ya ku Yuda.
17 Iwo anazungulira Yerusalemu mʼmakhundu onsene ninga anyakuonera kunja kwa nzinda,+Thangwi iye akhonda kundibvera,”+ alonga Yahova.
18 “Makhaliro ako na macitiro ako pinadzakubwerera.+
Nyatwa yako ndi ikulu kakamwe,Thangwi kukhonda bvera kwako kwamera mitcitci muntima mwako!”
19 Ui mama ine, ui mama ine pano!
Ndiri kubva kupha kakamwe muntima mwanga.
Ntima wanga uli kupaluka kakamwe.
Nee ndinakwanisa kumatama,Thangwi ndabva kulira kwa nyanga,Kulira kwa nyanga ninga cidzindikiro ca nkhondo.*+
20 Zisalongwa mphangwa thangwi ya nyatwa padzulu pa nyatwa zinango,Thangwi dziko yonsene iri kufudzwa.
Mwakukhonda dikhira misasa yanga yafudzwa,Mu ndzidzi wakucepa, nguwo za misasa yanga zamala kupanduka-panduka.+
21 Mpaka lini ndinapitiriza kuona cidzindikiro cinapangiza njira yakuenda ku Sioni?Mpaka lini ndinapitiriza kubva kulira kwa nyanga?+
22 “Thangwi mbumba yanga ndi yakusowa ndzeru;+Iyo nkhabe kundilemedza.
Iwo ndi ana akusowa ndzeru na akusowa luso yakubvesesa.
Iwo ali na ndzeru zakukwana toera kucita pinthu pyakuipa,
Mbwenye iwo nkhabe dziwa kucita pinthu pyadidi.”
23 Ine ndayangʼana dziko yawo! Iyo ikhali thando yakusowa pinthu.+
Ine ndayangʼana kudzulu, mbwenye nee kukhalibve ceza.+
24 Ine ndayangʼana mapiri, mbandiona kuti iwo akhatetemera,Pontho nthunda zikhatetemera.+
25 Ine ndayangʼana, mbandiona kuti nee pakhalibve munthu,Pontho mbalame zonsene zikhadathawa.+
26 Ine ndayangʼana, mbandiona kuti munda wa miti ya misapo wadzakhala thando,Pontho mizinda yace yonsene ikhadamala kufudzwa.+
Pyenepi pyacitika thangwi ya Yahova,
Thangwi iye aipirwa kakamwe.
27 Yahova alonga: “Dziko yonsene inadzakhala yakusowa anthu,+Mbwenye nee ndinafudza dziko yonsene.
28 Na thangwi ineyi, dziko ino inadzakhala paciliro,+Pontho kudzulu kunadzakhala cidima.+
Thangwi ine ndapilonga, pontho ndatonga kupicita,Ine nee ndinacinja manyerezero anga,* pontho nee ndinabwerera nduli.+
29 Pidabva iwo kukhuwa kwa anyamakavalo na anyamauta,Anthu onsene a mu nzinda athawa.+
Iwo asathawira mʼmisitu,Mbabisala mʼmiyala.+
Anthu athawa mʼmizinda yonsene,Pontho nkhabebve munthu anakhala mwenemu.”
30 Nakuti cincino wamala kufudzwa, unacitanji pontho?
Iwe ukhabvala nguwo zadidi kakamwe,*Ukhabalikisa manungo ako na pyakubalikisa pya ouro,Mbukhwaza maso ako na tinta yakupswipa.
Mbwenye kubalikisa kwako manungo kukhali kwapezi,+Thangwi ale akhakufuna akukhonda;Cincino iwo asafuna kukupha.+
31 Ndiri kubva kubulira ninga kwa nkazi anabva kupha,Kukhuwa ninga kunacita nkazi pakubala mwana wakutoma,Fala ya mwana wankazi wa Sioni mbakapuma mwakunentseka.
Iye asafuthula manja ace, mbalonga:+
“Dzedze kuna ine, thangwi ndaneta na anyakupha anthu!”
