Umambo udatenga Yuda kuenda ku ukapolo usatongwambo: Bheli anyadziswa, malinga agwiswa, dziko isiyiwa kuna nkhandwe. Pa ndzidzi ubodzi ubodzi, Izarayeli na Yuda asabwerera akulira, mbabvundza njira ya ku Sioni na kuna Baba wawo; madawo awo asafunwa mbwenye nee asagumanika, na Nyakuwombola wawo ndi wamphambvu.

Kapitulu 50.

Fala idalonga Baba wathu thangwi ya Babhilonya, dziko ya anthu a ku Babhilonya, kubulukira mwa Yeremiya mprofeta:

Dziwisani pakati pa madziko mbamulonga; kwirani bandera mbamulonga; lekani kubisa cinthu. Longani: Babhilonya yakwatwa; Bheli waphatwa na manyadzo, Mardhuki wasweka. Pifanisi pyace pyaphatwa na manyadzo, milungu yace yauthambi yasweka. ^a Thangwi kubulukira kumpoto dziko inabwera toera kumenyana na iye; dziko yace inadzakhala bwanga, nkhabe munthu anadzakhala mwenemo. Anthu na pinyama pyonsene pyathawa; pyaenda.

Mu ntsiku zenezo na mu ndzidzi unowo, asalonga Baba wathu, ana a Izarayeli anadzabwera, iwo na ana a Yuda pabodzi; anadzaenda mbakhalira mu ulendo, mbasaka Baba wawo. Anadzabvundza njira yakuenda ku Sioni, nkhope zawo zalozera kweneko: “Bwerani, tiphatane na Baba wathu mu cibverano cakukhonda kumala cakuti nkhabe kudzaluwalika.” Mbumba yanga akhali mabira adataika; akumbizi awo aasochonesa, mbaasiya pa mapiri. Azungaira kubulukira pa phiri kuenda pa ntunda; aluwala mbuto yawo yakupumira. Onsene adaagumana aadya, anyamalwa awo alonga tenepa: “Ife nkhabe mulando, thangwi iwo adadawira Mbuya, mbuto yawo yandimo mwene yakudyera, Mbuya, cidikhiro ca ambuya awo.” Thawani kubuluka n'kati mwa Babhilonya; bulukani mu dziko ya anthu a ku Babhilonya, mbimukhala ninga maphongo anatsogolera nkumbi. Thangwi onani, Ine ndiri kulamusa na kubweresa toera kumenyana na Babhilonya nsoka wa madziko makulu kubulukira ku dziko ya kumpoto. Iwo anadzalinganika toera kumenyana na iye, mbaphatwa kubulukira kweneko. Miseu yawo inauluka ninga ya nyankhondo waluso, ule anakhonda kubwerera na manja pezi. Dziko ya Babhilonya inadzatekerwa; onsene anaitekera anadzakhuta, asalonga Baba wathu.

Thangwi musakomerwa, thangwi musasekera, imwe anyakutekera unthaka wanga, thangwi musavina-vina ninga ng'ombe yamkazi inapwanya tirigu, mbamulira ninga makavalo aimuna, mai wanu anadzaphatwa na manyadzo kakamwe; ule adakubalani anadzapaswa manyadzo. Onani, iye anadzakhala wakumalisa pa madziko— nthando, dziko yakuuma, gwaga. Thangwi ya ukali wa Baba wathu iye nkhabe kudzakhalwamo; iye anadzakhala bwanga kwene-kwene. Munthu onsene anapita cifupi na Babhilonya anadzadzumatirwa, mbaveka thangwi ya pironda pyace pyonsene. Khalani pa mbuto zanu toera kumenyana na Babhilonya mbamuizungulira, imwe mwonsene anyauta. Ponyani miseu kuna iye; lekani kukoya miseu, thangwi iye adadawira Baba wathu. Kuwani toera kumenyana na iye mu nkhundu zonsene; iye wapereka manja. Minara yace yagwa; mipanda yace yagomolwa. Nakuti uyu ndi kutonga kwa Baba wathu, bwezerani iye; mucitireni ninga pidacita iye. Gwandani ku Bhabhilonya nyakubzwala na nyakubvuna. Patsogolo pa supada ya nyakuthabusa, m'bodzi na m'bodzi anabwerera kuna mbumba yace, na m'bodzi na m'bodzi anathawira ku dziko yace.

Izarayeli ndi nkumbi wakumwazika wakuti nkhalamu zidauthamangisa. Pakutoma mambo wa Asiriya adamudya iye, mbwenye cincino pakumalisa Nabhukodhonosori mambo wa Bhabhilonya adakhukhuta magogodo ace.

Izi ndi pinalonga Baba wa nkhondo za kudzulu, Baba wathu wa Izarayeli: Ine ndinatcunyusa mambo wa Bhabhilonya na dziko yace ninga Ine ndidatcunyusa mambo wa Asiriya. Ine ndinabwezera Izarayeli ku mbuto yace yakudyera, iye anadya ku Karimelo na ku Bhasani; pa mapiri a Efraimi na Gileyadi moyo wace unakhuta. Mu ntsiku zenezo na mu n'dzidzi unowo, asalonga Baba wathu, mulando wa Izarayeli unasakwa mbwenye nkhabepo; madawo a Yuda anasakwa mbwenye nkhabe kugumanika, thangwi Ine ndinalekerera anthu akusala ale ndinasiya maso.

Kwirani mukamenyane na dziko ya Merataimi, na kuna ale anakhala mu Pekodhi. Aphani, afudzeni mwakumala, asalonga Baba wathu; citani pyonsene pidakupangani Ine. Phokoso ya nkhondo iri mu dziko, na cifudzo cikulu. Taoneni kuti nyundo ya dziko yonsene yagwandwa mbifudzika! Taoneni kuti Bhabhilonya wakhala cinthu cakugopswa pakati pa madziko! Ndakuikira nsampha, iwe Bhabhilonya, iwe wagwidwa mbudzati kudziwa pyenepi. Iwe wagumanika mbuphatwa thangwi walimbana na Baba wathu.

Baba wathu afungula nyumba yace yakukoya pyombo pya nkhondo, mbabulusa pyombo pya ukali wace, thangwi Baba wa nkhondo za kudzulu ali na basa yakucita mu dziko ya Abhabhilonya. Bwerani kudzamenyana na iye kubulukira ku mbali zonsene; fungulani nkhokwe zace; muntindikani ninga milu ya tirigu. Mun'fudzeni mwakumala; cinthu cibodzi na cibodzi cileke kusala kwa iye. Phani ng'ombe zace zamphale zonsene; mbazitcitire ku kuphiwa. Tsoka kuna izo, thangwi ntsiku yawo yakwana, n'dzidzi wakutcunyuswa kwawo. Bveserani — anyakuthawa na anyakupulumuka akubuluka ku dziko ya Bhabhilonya, akubwera ku Siyoni toera kulengesa kutonga kwa Baba wathu, kutonga kwace thangwi ya templo yace. Cemerani anyauta kuti amenyane na Bhabhilonya, onsene ale anakweka uta. Mangani misasa kun'zungulira iye mbali zonsene; nkhabe m'bodzi anapulumuka. Mum'bwezereni mwakubverana na macitiro ace; muncitireni pyonsene pidacita iye. Thangwi iye adzikuza kuna Baba wathu, kuna Wakucena wa Izarayeli.

Na thangwi ineyi, aphale ace anagwa mu miseu yace, na anyankhondo ace onsene anamatiswa mu ntsiku ineyo, asalonga Baba wathu. Onani, Ine ndiri kumenyana na iwe, iwe wakudzikuza, asalonga Baba wa nkhondo za kudzulu, thangwi ntsiku yako yakwana, n'dzidzi undinakutcunyusa Ine. Wakudzikuza anapungunyuka mbagwa, nkhabe munthu wakuti anan'lamusa. Ine ndinagasa moto mu mizinda yace, unadya pinthu pyonsene pyakun'zungulira. Izi ndi pinalonga Baba wa anyankhondo a kudzulu: Ana a Izarayeli asathabuswa, pabodzi na ana a Djuda. Onsene adaaphata asaaphatisisa; asakhonda kuasiya aende.

Nyakuombola wawo ndi wamphambvu; dzina yace ndi Baba wa anyankhondo a kudzulu. Iye anadzaateteza mwandimomwene, toera kubweresa kupuma pa dziko yapantsi, mbwenye kudzudzumika kuna ale anakhala mu Babulonya.

Supada pa Ababulonya, asalonga Baba wathu, na pa ale anakhala mu Babulonya, na pa akulu ace na anyandzeru ace! Supada pa aprofeta authambi, iwo anadzakhala apswiru! Supada pa anyankhondo ace, iwo anadzaphwanywa! Supada pa makavalo ace na ngolo zace, na pa anyankhondo onsene a madziko anango ali pakati pace, iwo anadzakhala ninga akazi! Supada pa mpfuma zace, zinadzaphangwa! Cilala pa madzi ace, madzi anadzauma! Thangwi ndi dziko ya mafano, anthu asapenga thangwi ya mafano awo akugopsa. Na tenepo pinyama pya cipululu na mafisi pinadzakhala penepo, mbalame zikulu za n'thando zinadzakhala mwa iyo. Iyo nkhabe kudzakhalwa pontho na munthu nee kudzakhalwamo mu mibadwo yonsene. Ninga pidafudza Baba wathu Sodhoma na Gomora na mizinda ya pafupi nawo, asalonga Baba wathu, tenepo nkhabe munthu anadzakhala penepo; nkhabe munthu anadzakhala mwa iyo. Onani, anyankhondo asabwera kubuluka kumpoto; dziko ikulu na amambo azinji asalamuka kubuluka kumbuto za kutali kakamwe za dziko yapantsi. Iwo asaphata uta na dipa; ndi akukhwima ntima, nkhabe kubvera ntsisi. Phokoso yawo isaguma ninga bara mukakwira iwo makavalo, akhunganyika ninga mamuna toera kumenyana na iwe, Mwana wankazi wa Babulonya. Mambo wa Babulonya abva mphangwa zawo, manja ace alefuka. Nyatwa yamphata, kupha ninga nkazi ali n'dzidzi wakubala. Onani, ninga nkhalamu inakwira kubuluka m'matsanga a Djordani kuenda ku busa yakupuma, mwakanyezi-nyezi Ine ndinadzathamangisa Babulonya kubuluka m'dziko mwace, ndinadzaikha pa iyo ule anadzasankhula Ine. Thangwi mbani ali ninga Ine? Mbani anakwanisa kundicemera? M'busa upi anakwanisa kulimira pamaso panga?

Na tenepo bveserani n'dondomeko udalonga Baba wathu pa Babulonya na makumbukiro adakhunganya Iye pa dziko ya Ababulonya: Mwandimomwene ana ang'ono a nkumbi wawo anadzakwekweswa; mwandimomwene busa yawo inadzagopa thangwi ya pinaacitikira. Pa phokoso ya kugwa kwa Babulonya dziko yapantsi inadzatetemera, kulira kwace kunadzabveka pakati pa mitundu ya anthu.
