Zekariya 12
1 Uthenga wa Yehova kwa Israeli. Yehova, amene amayala mlengalenga, amene amayika maziko a dziko lapansi, ndiponso amene amalenga mzimu wokhala mwa munthu, akunena kuti,
Isiphrofethi: ilizwi likaThixo mayelana lo-Israyeli. UThixo owachayayo amazulu, obeka isisekelo somhlaba, njalo owenza umphefumulo womuntu phakathi kwakhe, uthi:
2 “Taonani, ndidzasandutsa Yerusalemu kukhala chakumwa choledzeretsa chimene chidzasokoneza mitundu yonse ya anthu yomuzungulira. Yuda adzazingidwa pamodzinso ndi Yerusalemu.
“Ngizakwenza iJerusalema ibe njengenkezo ezadakisa bonke abantu abakhelene layo. UJuda uzavinjezelwa laye njengeJerusalema.
3 Pa tsiku limenelo, pamene mitundu yonse ya anthu a dziko lapansi idzasonkhana kulimbana naye, ndidzasandutsa Yerusalemu thanthwe losatheka kusunthidwa ndi mitundu yonse ya anthu. Onse oyesa kumusuntha adzadzipweteka.
Ngalelolanga, lapho izizwe zonke zomhlaba sezihlangene ukulwa laye, ngizakwenza iJerusalema ibe lidwala elingagudlukiyo elezizwe zonke. Bonke abazama ukulitshedisa bazazilimaza.
4 Pa tsiku limenelo kavalo aliyense ndidzamuchititsa mantha kuti asokonezeke, ndipo wokwerapo wake ndidzamuchititsa misala,” akutero Yehova. “Ndidzayangʼanira nyumba ya Yuda koma ndidzachititsa khungu akavalo onse a anthu a mitundu ina.
Ngalelolanga ngizakwenza wonke amabhiza ethuke labagadi bawo bahlanye,” kutsho uThixo. “Indlu kaJuda ngizahlala ngiyiqaphele, kodwa ngizaphumputhekisa wonke amabhiza ezizwe.
5 Pamenepo atsogoleri a Yuda adzayankhula mʼmitima mwawo kuti, ‘Anthu a ku Yerusalemu ndi amphamvu, chifukwa Yehova Wamphamvuzonse ndiye Mulungu wawo.’
Lapho abakhokheli bakoJuda bazakuthi ezinhliziyweni zabo, ‘Abantu baseJerusalema baqinile, ngoba uThixo uSomandla unguNkulunkulu wabo.’
6 “Pa tsiku limenelo ndidzasandutsa atsogoleri a Yuda kukhala ngati mbawula yotentha pakati pa nkhuni, ngati sakali yoyaka pa mitolo ya tirigu. Adzatentha mitundu yonse ya anthu yowazungulira, kumanja ndi kumanzere, koma Yerusalemu sadzasuntha pa malo ake.
Ngalelolanga ngizakwenza abakhokheli bakoJuda babe njengebhodo phezu kwezikhuni, njengobhaqa oluvuthayo phakathi kwezithungo. Bazathungela ngapha langapha kutshe bonke abantu abakhelene labo, kodwa iJerusalema izasala imi injalo endaweni yayo.
7 “Yehova adzapulumutsa malo okhala Yuda poyamba, kuti ulemu wa nyumba ya Davide ndi wa anthu okhala mu Yerusalemu usapambane ulemu wa Yuda.
UThixo uzasindisa imizi yakoJuda kuqala ukuze udumo lwendlu kaDavida lolwezakhamizi zaseJerusalema lungabi lukhulu kulolukaJuda.
8 Pa tsiku limenelo Yehova adzatchinjiriza onse okhala mu Yerusalemu, kotero kuti anthu ofowoka kwambiri pakati pawo adzakhala ngati Davide, ndipo nyumba ya Davide idzakhala ngati Mulungu, ngati mngelo wa Yehova wowatsogolera.
Ngalelolanga uThixo uzabavikela labo abahlala eJerusalema, kuze kuthi lobuthakathaka kakhulu phakathi kwabo uzakuba njengoDavida, lendlu kaDavida izakuba njengoNkulunkulu, njengeNgilosi kaThixo ihamba phambi kwabo.
9 Pa tsiku limenelo ndidzawononga mitundu yonse yofuna kuthira nkhondo Yerusalemu.
Ngalelolanga ngizaphuma ngiyebhubhisa zonke izizwe ezihlasela iJerusalema.”
10 “Ndipo pa nyumba ya Davide ndi pa anthu okhala mu Yerusalemu ndidzakhuthulirapo mzimu wachisomo ndi wopemphera. Iwo adzandiyangʼana Ine, amene anamubaya, ndipo adzamulirira kwambiri monga momwe munthu amalirira mwana wake mmodzi yekhayo, ndiponso adzamva chisoni kwambiri monga momwe amachitira ndi mwana woyamba kubadwa.
“Ngizathululela phezu kwendlu kaDavida laphezu kwabakhileyo eJerusalema umoya womusa lobubele. Bazakhangela kimi, mina abamgwazayo, bangililele njengomuntu elilela umntanakhe ozelwe yedwa, bamkhalele kabuhlungu njengomuntu ekhalela indodana yakhe elizibulo.
11 Pa tsiku limenelo mudzakhala kulira kwakukulu mu Yerusalemu, monga kulira kwa ku Hadadi-Rimoni ku chigwa cha Megido.
Ngalelolanga isililo eJerusalema sizakuba sikhulu njengesililo sikaHadadi-Rimoni emagcekeni aseMegido.
12 Dziko lidzalira kwambiri, fuko lililonse pa lokha, akazi awo pa okhanso: fuko la Davide pamodzi ndi akazi awo, fuko la Natani pamodzi ndi akazi awo,
Ilizwe lizalila, yilesosizwana sisodwa, labafazi babo bebodwa; isizwana sendlu kaDavida labafazi babo, isizwana sendlu kaNathani labafazi babo,
13 nyumba ya Levi pamodzi ndi akazi awo, fuko la Simei pamodzi ndi akazi awo,
isizwana sendlu kaLevi labafazi babo, isizwana sikaShimeyi labafazi babo,
14 ndiponso mafuko onse pamodzi ndi akazi awo.
lazozonke izizwana labafazi bazo.”
