1 Sonkhanani pamodzi, sonkhanani pamodzi, inu mtundu wochititsa manyazi,
Miƒo ƒu! Miƒo ƒu! O, dukɔ si ŋu mekpena o,
2 isanafike nthawi yachiweruzo, nthawi yanu isanawuluke ngati mungu, usanakufikeni mkwiyo woopsa wa Yehova, tsiku la ukali wa Yehova lisanafike pa inu.
hafi ɣeyiɣi si woɖo ɖi la naɖo, eye ŋkeke ma nava gbɔ mi abe atsa ene, hafi Yehowa ƒe dziku dziŋɔ la nava dziwò, hafi Yehowa ƒe dɔmedzoeŋkeke la nava dziwò.
3 Funafunani Yehova, inu nonse odzichepetsa a mʼdziko, inu amene mumachita zimene amakulamulani. Funafunani chilungamo, funafunani kudzichepetsa; mwina mudzatetezedwa pa tsiku la mkwiyo wa Yehova.
Midi Yehowa, mi anyigbadzitɔ siwo katã bɔbɔ mia ɖokui, mi ame siwo wɔa eƒe lɔlɔ̃nu. Midi dzɔdzɔenyenye, midi ɖokuibɔbɔ; ɖewohĩ woatsyɔ nu mia dzi le Yehowa ƒe dzikuŋkeke la dzi.
4 Gaza adzasiyidwa ndipo Asikeloni adzasanduka bwinja. Nthawi yamasana Asidodi adzakhala wopanda anthu ndipo Ekroni adzazulidwa.
Gaza azu aƒedo, eye Askelon azu gli gbagbã. Le ŋdɔkutsu me woalɔ Asdod ƒioƒioƒio, eye woaho Ekron kple ke.
5 Tsoka inu okhala mʼmbali mwa nyanja, inu mtundu wa Akereti; mawu a Yehova akutsutsa iwe Kanaani, dziko la Afilisti. “Ndidzakuwononga ndipo palibe amene adzatsale.”
Baba na mi Keretitɔwo, mi ame siwo le ƒuta; O Kanaan, Filistitɔwo ƒe anyigba, Yehowa tsɔ nya ɖe mia ŋu be, “Matsrɔ̃ mi keŋkeŋkeŋ, eye ame aɖeke masusɔ o.”
6 Dziko la mʼmbali mwa nyanja, kumene kumakhala Akereti, lidzakhala malo a abusa ndi la makola a nkhosa.
Keretitɔwo ƒe nɔƒe si le ƒuta la, azu alẽkpo kple nɔƒe na alẽkplɔlawo.
7 Malowa adzakhala a anthu otsala a nyumba ya Yuda; adzapezako msipu. Nthawi ya madzulo adzagona mʼnyumba za Asikeloni. Yehova Mulungu wawo adzawasamalira; adzabwezeretsa mtendere wawo.
Anye ame mamlɛ siwo susɔ na Yuda ƒe aƒe la tɔ, afi mae woakpɔ lãnyiƒe le. Le fiẽ me la, woamlɔ Askelontɔwo ƒe aƒewo me. Yehowa, woƒe Mawu la akpɔ wo ta, eye wòagaɖo wo te.
8 “Ndamva kunyoza kwa Mowabu ndi chipongwe cha Amoni, amene ananyoza anthu anga ndi kuopseza kuti alanda dziko lawo.
“Mese Moab ƒe alɔmeɖeɖe kple Amon ƒe viwo ƒe vlododo, ame siwo dzi nye dukɔ, eye woɖo nugbe ɖe woƒe anyigba ŋuti.
9 Choncho, pali Ine Wamoyo,” akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli, “Ndithu, Mowabu adzasanduka ngati Sodomu, Amoni adzasanduka ngati Gomora; malo a zomeramera ndi maenje a mchere, dziko la bwinja mpaka muyaya. Anthu anga otsala adzawafunkha; opulumuka a mtundu wanga adzalandira dziko lawo.”
Yehowa Ŋusẽkatãtɔ, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔ be, Zi ale si meli la, woatsrɔ̃ Moab kple Amon abe ale si wotsrɔ̃ Sodom kple Gomora ene, eye woazu ŋuvedzeɖeƒe kple gbegbe; nye ame siwo susɔ la aha wo, eye woaxɔe le wo si.”
10 Ichi ndi chimene adzalandire chifukwa cha kunyada kwawo, chifukwa chonyoza ndi kuchitira chipongwe anthu a Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
Woaxɔ woƒe dada ƒe fetu, elabena woɖu fewu le Yehowa, Dziƒoʋakɔwo ƒe Aƒetɔ la ƒe dukɔ ŋuti.
11 Yehova adzawachititsa mantha kwambiri pamene adzawononga milungu yonse ya mʼdzikomo. Ndipo mitundu ya anthu pa dziko lonse idzamulambira, uliwonse ku dziko la kwawo.
Yehowa ana nu vɔ̃ɖi geɖe nava wo dzi. Atsrɔ̃ woƒe mawuwo katã kple woƒe ŋusẽ ɖa, eye ame sia ame asubɔe le eƒe anyigba dzi le xexea me godoo.
12 “Inunso anthu a ku Kusi, mudzaphedwa ndi lupanga.”
“Mi Kustɔwo, woatsrɔ̃ miawo hã kple yi.”
13 Yehova adzatambasulira dzanja lake kumpoto ndi kuwononga Asiriya, kusiya Ninive atawonongekeratu ndi owuma ngati chipululu.
Nenema kee nye anyiehetɔwo hã; atsrɔ̃ Asiria kple eƒe toxɔdu Ninive xɔŋkɔ la gbidigbidi, eye wòanɔ abe dzogbe ene.
14 Nkhosa ndi ngʼombe zidzagona pansi kumeneko, pamodzi ndi nyama zakuthengo za mtundu uliwonse. Akadzidzi a mʼchipululu ndi akanungu adzakhala pa nsanamira zake. Kulira kwawo kudzamveka mʼmazenera, mʼmakomo mwawo mudzakhala zinyalala zokhazokha, nsanamira za mkungudza zidzakhala poonekera.
Du xɔŋkɔ sia azu gbeɖuƒe na alẽhawo. Gbemelã kple xe vovovowo atsɔ teƒe sia awɔ wo nɔƒee. Hlɔ̃madewo aɖe do ɖe afi ma, akagawo kple alugewo awɔ atɔ ɖe eƒe fiasãwo me, eye woadzo ɖe eƒe fesrewo nu anɔ xɔxlɔ̃m; eye akpaviãwo adzo ɖe fiasã la ƒe ʋɔtruwo nu. Mlɔeba la, ʋuƒo nyui siwo wotsɔ wɔ xɔa mee la atsi gota ŋdɔ naɖu.
15 Umenewu ndiye mzinda wosasamala umene kale unali wotetezedwa. Unkanena kuti mu mtima mwake, “Ine ndine, ndipo palibenso wina wondiposa.” Taonani lero wasanduka bwinja, kokhala nyama zakutchire! Onse owudutsa akuwunyoza ndi kupukusa mitu yawo.
Esiawoe nye nu siwo ava dzɔ ɖe du si kpɔ dzidzedze, eye wòle tomefafa me la dzi. Du sia gblɔ na eɖokui be, “Le xexea me katã la, du aɖeke mekpɔ ŋusẽ de nunye o.” Gake azɔ, mikpɔ ɖa, eyae nye du si gbã gudugudu, zu gbegbe na lãwo kple xewo! Azɔ ame sia ame si ava to eŋuti la ado tsiã, aʋuʋu ta, elabena maxɔe ase o.
