Zekariya 13
1 “Pa tsiku limenelo nyumba ya Davide adzayitsekulira kasupe wa madzi pamodzi ndi okhala mu Yerusalemu, kuti awachotsere tchimo lawo ndi chodetsa chawo.
Ngalolosuku kuzakuba lomthombo ovulelwe isono lokungcola kuyo indlu kaDavida labahlali beJerusalema.
2 “Pa tsiku limenelo, ndidzafafaniziratu mayina a mafano mʼdziko, ndipo sadzawakumbukiranso,” akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse. “Ndidzachotsa mʼdziko aneneri pamodzi ndi mzimu wonyansa.
Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku, itsho iNkosi yamabandla, ngiqume amabizo ezithombe asuke elizweni, kazisayikukhunjulwa; ngenze labaprofethi lomoya ongcolileyo bedlule basuke elizweni.
3 Ndipo ngati wina aliyense adzafuna kunenera, abambo ndi amayi ake amene anamubereka, adzamuwuza kuti, ‘Uyenera kufa, chifukwa wayankhula bodza mʼdzina la Yehova.’ Pamene anenera, makolo ake omwe adzamubaya.
Kuzakuthi-ke, loba ngubani esaprofetha, uyise lonina abamzalayo bathi kuye: Kawuyikuphila, ngoba ukhuluma amanga ebizweni leNkosi. Uyise lonina abamzalayo bazamgwaza lapho eprofetha.
4 “Pa tsiku limenelo mneneri aliyense adzachita manyazi chifukwa cha masomphenya ake. Sadzavala chovala chake chaubweya ndi cholinga chonamiza anthu.
Kuzakuthi-ke ngalolosuku abaprofethi bazakuba lenhloni, ngulowo lalowo ngombono wakhe ekuprofetheni kwakhe; futhi kabayikugqoka izigqoko zoboya ukuze bakhohlise;
5 Iye adzati, ‘Sindine mneneri. Ndine mlimi; ndakhala ndi kulima munda kuyambira ubwana wanga.’
kodwa uzakuthi: Kangisuye mprofethi, ngingumlimi womhlabathi; ngoba umuntu wangithenga kusukela ebutsheni bami.
6 Ngati wina adzamufunsa, ‘Zilonda zili mʼthupi lakoli ndi chiyani?’ Iye adzayankha kuti, ‘Zilondazi ndinazilandira mʼnyumba ya abwenzi anga.’
Lomunye uzakuthi kuye: Ayini lamanxeba asezandleni zakho? Yena uzakuthi: Engatshaywa ngawo endlini yabangane bami.
7 “Dzambatuka iwe lupanga, ukanthe mʼbusa wanga, ukanthe munthu amene ali pafupi ndi Ine!” akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse. Kantha mʼbusa ndipo nkhosa zidzabalalika, ndipo ndidzatambalitsa dzanja langa kuwononga zazingʼono.
Vuka, nkemba, umelane lomelusi wami, umelane lomuntu ongumngane wami, itsho iNkosi yamabandla. Tshaya umelusi, izimvu zihlakazeke; besengiphendulela isandla sami kwezincinyane.
8 Mʼdziko monse, akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, “zigawo ziwiri mwa zigawo zitatu za anthu zidzakanthidwa ndi kuwonongeka; koma chigawo chimodzi chidzatsala mʼdzikomo.
Kuzakuthi-ke elizweni lonke, itsho iNkosi, ingxenye ezimbili kulo zizaqunywa ziphele; kodwa eyesithathu izasala kulo.
9 Chigawo chachitatuchi ndidzachiyika pa moto; ndidzawayeretsa monga momwe amayeretsera siliva ndi kuwayesa monga momwe amayesera golide. Adzayitana pa dzina langa ndipo Ine ndidzawayankha; Ine ndidzanena kuti, ‘Awa ndi anthu anga,’ ndipo iwo adzanena kuti, ‘Yehova ndiye Mulungu wathu.’”
Njalo eyesithathu ngizayidabulisa emlilweni, ngibacwengisise njengoba isiliva sicwengisiswa, ngibalinge njengoba igolide lilingwa. Bona bazabiza ibizo lami, mina-ke ngizabaphendula. Ngizakuthi: Bangabantu bami; bona-ke bazakuthi: INkosi inguNkulunkulu wami.
