Yeremiya 5:1-31
5 Famba-fambani mʼmiseu ya Yerusalemu.
Yangʼanani nʼkhundu, mbamuonesesa mwadidi.
Sakani mu mbuto zapakweca toera muone,Khala munagumana munthu anacita pinthu pyakulungama,+
Wakuti asasaka kukhala munthu wakukhulupirika,Munganʼgumana, ine ndinalekerera nzinda unoyu.
2 Maseze iwo alonge kuti: “Tiri kudumbira mu dzina ya Yahova Mulungu wa mʼmaso!”
Ngakhale tenepo, kudumbira kwawo mbakudakhala kwapezi.+
3 Yahova, kodi imwe nee musakomerwa maso anu angaona kukhulupirika?+
Imwe mwaatcunyusa, mbwenye iwo nee abva kupha.
Imwe mwafudza azinji a iwo, mbwenye iwo nee atawira kulangwa.+
Iwo aumisa kakamwe mitima yawo* kupiringana miyala,+Pontho iwo akhonda kubwerera nduli.+
4 Natenepa, ine ndalonga: “Mwandimomwene iwo ndi anthu ene pyawo.
Iwo asacita pinthu mwaudzemwa thangwi iwo nkhabe dziwa pinafuna* Yahova,Mitemo ya Mulungu wawo.
5 Ine ndinaenda kuna akulu-akulu toera ndicedze nawo,Thangwi iwo asafunika kudziwa pinafuna Yahova,Mitemo ya Mulungu wawo.+
Mbwenye onsene agwanda goli yawo,*Mbathumula nkhambala.”
6 Na thangwi ineyi, iwo asalumwa na nkhalamu za mu nsitu,Iwo asaphiwa na bindzi ya nʼthando,Nyalugwe asaabisalira cifupi na mizinda yawo.
Onsene anabuluka mʼmizinda asakhwadzulwa-khwadzulwa.
Thangwi madawo awo ndi mazinji;Macitiro awo akukhonda kukhulupirika ndi mazinji kakamwe.+
7 Ndinakulekerera tani pinthu pyenepi?
Anako andisiya,Iwo asadumbira mu dzina ya alungu authambi.+
Maseze ine ndikhaapasa pinafuna iwo,Iwo akhapitiriza kucita upombo,Iwo akhaenda ninga nsoka kunyumba ya puta.
8 Iwo akhala ninga makavalo adalamukirwa, mbafuna kakamwe kupita mʼmabonde,Mʼbodzi na mʼbodzi asasirira nkazi wa ndzace.+
9 “Kodi nee ndisafunika kuatcunyusa thangwi ya pinthu pyenepi?” alonga Yahova.
“Kodi nee ndisafunika kubwezera pinthu pidacita mbumba ineyi?”+
10 “Ndokoni kuminda ya mauva ya ku Yerusalemu toera muifudze,Mbwenye lekani kufudziratu yonsene.+
Gwandani nthawi zace zipswa,Thangwi izo nee ndi za Yahova.
11 Thangwi anthu a dzindza ya Izraeli na a dzindza ya Yuda,Andisandukira kakamwe,” alonga Yahova.+
12 “Iwo akhonda Yahova, pontho asalonga:‘Iye nee anacita pinthu.+
Nee nyatwa ibodzi inafuna kutigwera;Ife nee tinadzathabuka na nkhondo, nee na njala.’+
13 Aprofeta asalonga pinthu pyakusowa basa,*Mafala a Mulungu nee ali muna iwo.
Pyenepi mbapiacitikire!”*
14 Mbwenye ipi ndi pidalonga Yahova, Mulungu wa anyankhondo:
“Nakuti anthu anewa asalonga pyenepi,Ndinacitisa kuti mafala anga akhale moto pamulomo pako,+Mbumba iyi inadzakhala ninga nkhuni,
Mwakukhonda penula, moto unoyu unadzaapisa.”+
15 Yahova alonga: “Imwe mbumba ya Izraeli, ine ndinabweresa kuna imwe mbumba yakutali,+Ndi mbumba yakuti iripo kutomera kale,Mbumba yakale,
Mbumba yakuti cilongero cace imwe nkhabe kucidziwa,
Mbumba yakuti mafalace imwe nee munaabvesesa.+
16 Budu yawo yakuikhira mapswimo ndi ninga nthumbi yakufunguka;Onsene ndi anyankhondo.
17 Iwo anadzafudza pinthu pinabvuna imwe na pyakudya pyanu.+
Iwo anadzapha ananu amuna na akazi.
Anadzapha ngʼombe zanu na mabira anu.
Anadzagwanda miti yanu ya mauva na misambvu yanu.
Pontho anadzapha na supada anthu a mʼmizinda yanu yakuwanga inanyindira imwe.”
18 “Ngakhale mu ntsiku zenezi,” alonga Yahova, “nee ndinadzakufudzani monsene.+
19 Iwo angabvundza kuti: ‘Thangwi yanji Yahova Mulungu wathu aticitira pinthu pyenepi pyonsene?’ Iwe usafunika kuatawira: ‘Ninga mudandisiya imwe toera kutumikira mulungu unango mu dziko yanu, munjira ibodzi ene, imwe munadzatumikira anthu a dziko inango, mu dziko yakuti nee ndi yanu.’”+
20 Longa ipi kuna dzindza ya Yakobe,Dziwisa pyenepi ku Yuda:
21 “Bveserani ipi imwe mbumba yakuti ndi madzemwa na yakusowa ndzeru:+
Iwo ali na maso, mbwenye nkhabe kuona;+Iwo ali na makutu, mbwenye nkhabe kubva.+
22 ‘Kodi imwe nkhabe kundigopa?’, alonga Yahova,‘Nee mukhafunika kutetemera pamaso panga?
Ndine adaikha tcetca ninga madire a bara,Ntemo wakwenda na kwenda, wakuti iyo nee isafunika kupiringana madire anewa.
Maseze kuoneke mabimbi makulu, iwo nkhabe kwanisa kunumpha madire,Maseze iwo asatitima, iwo nkhabe kwanisa kupiringana madire.+
23 Mbwenye mbumba iyi ndi anthu akuuma ntima na akukhonda bvera;Iwo asiya njira yanga, mbatowezera njira inafuna iwo.+
24 Iwo nkhabe kulonga muntima mwawo kuti:
“Tendeni tigope Yahova Mulungu wathu,Ule anabvumbisa madzi pa ndzidzi wakuthema,Madzi akutoma na akumalisa,Ule anacita pyonsene toera tikhale na masumana akubvuna.”+
25 Madodo anu ndiwo adapingiza toera pinthu pyenepi pikhonde kucitika;Madawo anu ndiwo adakupingizani toera mukhonde kutambira pinthu pyadidi.+
26 Thangwi pakati pa mbumba yanga pali na anthu akuipa.
Iwo asapitiriza kubisala ninga anyakuteya misampha ya mbalame angabwathama pantsi.
Iwo asakhunganya misampha yakugopswa kakamwe;
Iwo asamanga anthu pa misampha ineyi.
27 Ninga cipwere cidadzala na mbalame,Nyumba zawo zadzalambo na pinthu pyakubiwa.+
Na thangwi ineyi, iwo adzakhala anthu amphambvu na akupfuma.
28 Iwo akhuma mbakhala na khanda yakuzwerera;Iwo adzala na pinthu pyakuipa mpaka kutayikira.
Toera pinthu pyawo pifambe mwadidi,
Iwo nkhabe kutsalakana mulando wa mwana waumphawi;*+
Pontho asakhonda kutonga mwakulungama anthu akutcerenga.’”+
29 “Kodi nee ndisafunika kuatcunyusa thangwi ya pinthu pyenepi?” alonga Yahova.
“Kodi nee ndisafunika kubwezera pinthu pidacita mbumba ineyi?
30 Cinthu cakutsukwalisa na cakuipa ciri kucitika mu dziko iyi:
31 Aprofeta asalonga maprofesiya authambi,+Anyantsembe asaphatisira mphambvu zawo toera kuponderera anthu,
Pontho mbumba yanga isakomerwa na pinthu pyenepi.+
Mphapo munacitanji kumala kungafika?”
