Akuthawa mofulumirapo

7“Kodi ndani amene akukwera ngati Nailo,
ngati mtsinje wa madzi amkokomo?
8Igupto akusefukira ngati Nailo,
ngati mitsinje ya madzi amkokomo.
Iye akunena kuti, ‘Ndidzadzuka ndi kuphimba dziko lapansi;
ndidzawononga mizinda ndi anthu ake.’
9Tiyeni, inu akavalo!
Thamangani inu magaleta!
Tulukani, inu ankhondo,
ankhondo a ku Kusi ndi Puti amene mumanyamula zishango,
ankhondo a ku Ludi amene mumaponya uta.
10Koma 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“Pita ku Giliyadi ukatenge mankhwala
iwe namwali Igupto.
Wayesayesa mankhwala ambiri koma osachira;
palibe mankhwala okuchiritsa.
12Anthu a mitundu ina amva za manyazi ako;
kulira kwako kwadzaza dziko lapansi.
Ankhondo akunka nagwetsanagwetsana,
onse awiri agwa pansi limodzi.”
13Uthenga umene Yehova anapatsa mneneri Yeremiya wonena za kubwera kwa Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni kudzathira nkhondo Igupto ndi uwu:
14“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.’
15Chifukwa chiyani mulungu wanu wamphamvu uja Apisi wathawa?
Iye sakanatha kulimba chifukwa Yehova anamugwetsa.
16Ankhondo anu apunthwa ndi kugwa.
Aliyense akuwuza mnzake kuti,
‘Tiyeni tibwerere kwathu,
ku dziko kumene tinabadwira,
tithawe lupanga la adani athu.’
17Kumeneku iwo adzafuwula kuti,

Waphokoso, Wotaya mwayi wake.’
18“Pali Ine wamoyo,” ikutero Mfumu,

“wina adzabwera amene ali ngati Tabori phiri lopambana mapiri ena,
ngati phiri la Karimeli loti njoo mʼmbali mwa nyanja.
19Konzani katundu wanu wopita naye ku ukapolo
inu anthu a ku Igupto,
pakuti Mefisi adzasanduka chipululu
ndipo adzakhala bwinja mopanda wokhalamo.
20“Igupto ali ngati mwana wangʼombe wokongola,
koma chimphanga chikubwera
kuchokera kumpoto kudzalimbana naye.
21Ngakhale 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.
22Aigupto akuthawa ndi liwu lawo lili ngati la njoka yothawa
pamene adani abwera ndi zida zawo,
abwera ndi nkhwangwa
ngati anthu odula mitengo.
23Iwo adzadula nkhalango ya Igupto,”
akutero Yehova,
“ngakhale kuti ndi yowirira.
Anthuwo ndi ochuluka kupambana dzombe,
moti sangatheke kuwerengeka.
24Anthu a ku Igupto achita manyazi
atengedwa ukapolo ndi anthu a kumpoto.”
25Yehova 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. 26Ndidzawapereka 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“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.
28Iwe 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.”
