1 Yehova anayankhula ndi Zefaniya mwana wa Kusi, mwana wa Gedaliya, mwana wa Amariya, mwana wa Hezekiya pa nthawi ya Yosiya, mwana wa Amoni, mfumu ya Yuda.

Ra Anumzamo'a ama nanekema Zefanaiama ami'neana, Amoni nemofo Josia'ma Juda vahe kinima mani'nea knafi ami'ne. Hagi Zefanaia nefa'a Kusiki, Kusi nefa'a Gedaliaki, Gedalia nefa'a Amariaki, Amaria nefa'a Hezekaia'e.

2 “Ndidzawononga kotheratu zinthu zonse pa dziko lapansi,” akutero Yehova.

Nagra ama mopamofo agofetu'ma me'nea zantamina maka eri harafi hutregahue huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

3 “Ndidzawononga anthu pamodzi ndi nyama zomwe; ndidzawononga mbalame zamlengalenga ndi nsomba za mʼnyanja. Ndidzawononga anthu oyipa, ndipo ndidzafafaniza mtundu wa anthu pa dziko lonse lapansi,” akutero Yehova.

Maka vahe'ene zagagafanena ruharafi hutre vaganere'na, anamifima hare'za vanoma nehaza namaramine, hagerimpi nozameraminena ruharafi hutre vagaregahue. Havi avu'ava zama nehaza vahera zamahe vagarete'na magopi zmamavufga'a erinte hihi hanuge'za tetemukna nehanagena, ama mopamofo agofetutira maka vahera zamahe vagaregahue huno Ra Anumzamo'a hu'ne.

4 Ndidzatambasula dzanja langa pa Yuda ndi onse okhala mu Yerusalemu. Ndidzawononga pamalo pano otsalira opembedza Baala, mayina a anthu osapembedza pamodzi ndi ansembe a mafano:

Juda mopafima nemaniza vahete'ene Jerusalemi ran kumapima nemaniza vahetera nazana rusute'na zamazeri haviza hugahue. Bali havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunentaza vahe'ma, ama ana mopa'afima osi'ama manisazama'a maka zamahe vaganere'na, ana havi anumzaraminte'ma pristi eri'zama e'neriza vahe'enena zamahe vagarenugeno zamagia omanegahie.

5 amene amagwada pa madenga a nyumba zawo kupembedza zolengedwa zamumlengalenga, amene amagwada ndi kulumbira mʼdzina la Yehova, komanso mʼdzina la Moleki,

Ana vahe'mo'za nozamimofo agofetu mareri'za mani'ne'za, zagere'ene ikante'ene ofuraminte'ene zamarena re'za monora hunezamantaze. Zamagra Ra Anumzamofo amage nentone nehu'za, Moleki havi anumzante monora nehaze.

6 amene abwerera mʼmbuyo osatsata Yehova, osafunafuna kapena kupempha nzeru kwa Yehova.

Ko'ma Ra Anumzamo'na namage'ma antete'za natre'naza vahe'mo'za, kegavama hunezamante'na asomuma huzmante'sanugura nantahia nonkaze.

7 Khalani chete pamaso pa Ambuye Yehova, chifukwa tsiku la Yehova layandikira. Yehova wakonzekera kupereka nsembe; wapatula iwo amene wawayitana.

Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma vahe'ma refko hunezamanteno keagama huzmantesania knamo'a hago kofta nehianki, Agri avurera keaga osu akoheta emaniho. Zgagafama aheno kresramnama viaza huno Ra Anumzamo'a, Agra vahe'a zamahenaku trotra nehie. Ana nehuno zamagri'ma zamazeri havizama hanaza vahera ko zamagi hu'ne.

8 Pa tsiku la nsembe ya Yehova ndidzalanga akalonga ndi ana aamuna a mfumu ndi onse amene amavala zovala zachilendo.

Ra Anumzamo'a huno, anama zamahe'nua kna knazupa, Juda vahe'mofo kva vahetamine, kini vahe'mokizmi mofavre naga'ene, ru vahe'mokizmi zamavu'zamavama nevaririza vahe'enena knazana zamina zamazeri haviza hugahue.

9 Pa tsiku limenelo ndidzalanga onse amene safuna kuponda pa chiwundo, amene amadzaza nyumba ya ambuye awo ndi chiwawa ndi chinyengo.

Megi'a vahe'mokizmi havi anumzante'ma mono'ma hunentaza vahe'ene vahe'mokizmi fenozama zamahe'za nehanare'za, havigema hu'za fenozama eri'za kva ne' zamimofo nompima eme nentaza vahe'enena ana zupa zamazeri haviza hugahue.

10 “Pa tsiku limenelo,” akutero Yehova, “Kufuwula kwakukulu kudzamveka pa Chipata cha Nsomba, kulira kwa chisoni kuchokera mʼChigawo Chatsopano, ndi phokoso la kugumuka kochokera ku mapiri.

Ra Anumzamo'a huno ana zupa, ran kumamofona nozame kafanteti mago ran krafage hugahie. Ana hanigeno zamasunku'ma huza zavi'ma atesaza krafagemo'a ran kumapina vuno eno hugahie. Ana'ma nehanigeno'a agonaramimpintira ra agasasa neranigeta antahigahaze.

11 Lirani mwachisoni, inu amene mumakhala kumene kuli msika; a malonda anu onse adzapululidwa, ndiponso onse amene ali ndi siliva adzawonongedwa.

Maketi kumapima mani'naza vahe'mota tamazana kofita zaviteho. Na'ankure maka zama zagore'ma eme netraza vahe'ene zagoma rezahe'ma nehaza vahe'enena fanane hugahaze.

12 Pa nthawi imeneyo ndidzafufuzafufuza mu Yerusalemu ndi nyale ndi kulanga onse amene sakulabadira, amene ali ngati vinyo wosakhutchumulidwa, amene amaganiza kuti, ‘Yehova sadzachita chilichonse, chabwino kaya choyipa.’

Ana knafina Jerusalemi kumapima hanima hu'nea ma'afima mani'nezama kumi avu'ava'ma nehu'za, oku'a nehune hu'za nehu'za zamagrama antahi'zana, Ra Anumzamo'a mago knare zano mago havizana osugahie hu'za nehaza vahe'mokizmia, ramu tavi'ni'a tagina hakre'na zamazeri haviza hugahue.

13 Chuma chawo chidzafunkhidwa, nyumba zawo zidzagwetsedwa. Adzamanga nyumba, koma osakhalamo; adzadzala minda ya mpesa koma sadzamwako vinyo wake.”

Zamagri fenozana vahe'mo'za eme agu'za neru'za, nozamia tapage hutregahaze. Ana hanage'za nozamia kasefa kigahazanagi, ana nontamimpina omasegahaze. Waini hoza antegahazanagi, raga'a tagi'za tima'a onegahaze.

14 Tsiku lalikulu la Yehova layandikira, layandikira ndipo lifika msanga. Tamverani! Kulira kwa pa tsiku la Yehova kudzakhala kowawa, ngakhale munthu wolimba mtima adzalira kwambiri.

Hagi Ra Anumzamo'ma vahe'ma keaga hunezamanteno refko'ma huzmantesania knamo'a hago kofta nehiankino, ame huno ana knamo'a efore hugahie. Ana knama efore'ma hania knazupa, hankave sondia vahe'mo'za tusi zavi krafa hugahaze.

15 Tsiku limenelo lidzakhala la ukali, tsiku losautsa ndi lomvetsa chisoni, tsiku la mavuto ndi la chiwonongeko, tsiku la mdima ndi lachisoni, tsiku la mitambo ndi la mdima wandiweyani.

E'i ana kna Anumzamofo arimpa ahekna efore hugahiankino, vahe'mo'a hazenkezampi manino nomaniza mani so'ea nosanigeno, tusi'a hazenkeza fore hina maka zamo'a havizantfa nehanigeno, hanima haniana tusi hani huno rentrako hugahie. Ana nehanigeno hampomo'a kintrako hanigeno hanintiri hugahie.

16 Tsiku loliza lipenga ndi la mfuwu wankhondo, tsiku la kugwa kwa mizinda yotetezedwa ndi nsanja za pa ngodya.

Ana knafina ufe krafamo'a tusiza nehanigeno, sondia vahe'mo'za ibimo agazamo nehu'za erintagu hu'za hankave vihu kegina me'negeno, kuma kegava nehaza za'za nontamima me'nea ranra kumatamintega vugahaze.

17 Ndidzabweretsa msautso pa anthu ndipo adzayenda ngati anthu osaona, chifukwa achimwira Yehova, magazi awo adzamwazika ngati fumbi ndi mnofu wawo ngati ndowe.

Ra Anumzamo'a huno, Nagri navufima kumi'ma hu'nazagu hu'na hazenke zana atrenugeno eno eme tamazeri haviza hanigeta, zamavu suhu vahe'mo'zama nehazaza huta rege'rege huta vano hugahaze. Tamagri koramo'a kugusopafi tagi neramisanigeno, tamavufgamo'a mopafi me'neno kasrino rifagna huno hi'mna vugahie.

18 Ngakhale siliva wawo kapena golide wawo sadzatha kuwapulumutsa pa tsiku la ukali wa Yehova. Dziko lonse lapansi lidzanyeka mʼmoto wa nsanje yake chifukwa adzakantha modzidzimutsa onse okhala pa dziko lapansi.

Ra Anumzamofo arimpa ahe' zamo'ma esania knazupa, silvane golinema ante'naza zamo'a tamagura ovazigahie. Na'ankure Anumzamofo arimpa ahe'zamo'a, tevegna huno ama mopa teno erihana hugahie. Tamagerfa huno, maka ama mopafima nemaniza vahe'mo'za, antri hanazaza huno zamahe vagaregahie.
