1 Ma e wach mar Jehova Nyasaye mane obiro ne Zefania wuod Kushi, ma wuod Gedalia, ma wuod Amaria, ma wuod Hezekia e kinde loch Josia wuod Amon ruodh Juda.
Shoko raJehovha rakasvika kuna Zefania, mwanakomana waKushi, mwanakomana waGedharia, mwanakomana waAmaria, mwanakomana waHezekia, pamazuva okutonga kwaJosia mwanakomana waAmoni mambo weJudha richiti:
2 “Abiro tieko gik moko duto mantie e piny mi lal nono,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
“Ndichatsvaira zvose kubva pamusoro penyika,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
3 “Abiro tieko dhano kaachiel gi le, bende abiro tieko winy mafuyo e kor polo, kaachiel gi rech manie nam. Jomaricho biro pie pidhe pidhe, e ndalo manatiek dhano e wangʼ piny,” Jehova Nyasaye owacho.
“Ndichatsvaira zvose vanhu nemhuka; ndichatsvaira shiri dzedenga nehove dzegungwa. Vakaipa vachasara nemirwi yamarara chete, kana ndabvisa munhu pamusoro penyika,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
4 “Abiro kumo jo-Juda kaachiel gi ji duto modak Jerusalem. Abiro tieko jo-Baal duto mane odongʼ ka, mi agol oko nying joma luwo nyiseche mopa kaachiel gi jodologi.
Ndichatambanudza ruoko rwangu kuti ndirwise Judha uye ndicharwisa vose vanogara muJerusarema. Ndichaparadza kubva panzvimbo ino vose vakasara vaBhaari, mazita avaprista vechihedheni vanonamata zvifananidzo,
5 Bende abiro tieko ji duto makulore ewi tat udi kalamo chiengʼ, dwe gi sulwe. Ji duto makulore ka kwongʼore gi nying Jehova Nyasaye, to bangʼe gikwongʼore gi nying Molek nyasach jo-Amon.
vaya vanopfugama pamusoro pedzimba kuti vanamate nyeredzi dzedenga, vaya vanopfugama vachipika naJehovha uye vanopikawo naMoreki,
6 Ji duto moseweyo luwo Jehova Nyasaye, kendo ok gimany Jehova Nyasaye kata mana penje wach.”
vaya vanotsauka kubva pakutevera Jehovha uye vasingatsvaki Jehovha kana kubvunza kwaari.
7 Lingʼuru e nyim Jehova Nyasaye Manyalo Gik Moko Duto; nikech odiechiengʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye chiegni. Jehova Nyasaye oseloso misango, kendo osepwodho joma oseluongo.
Nyararai pamberi paIshe Jehovha, nokuti zuva raJehovha rava pedyo. Jehovha agadzirira chibayiro; akavaita vatsvene, vaya vaakakoka.
8 “E odiechiengʼ mitimoe misango mar Jehova Nyasaye abiro kumo joka ruoth, yawuot ruoth, kaachiel gi ji duto morwakore gi lewni mag jopinje mamoko.
Pazuva rechibayiro chaJehovha, ndicharova machinda navanakomana vamambo, navaya vose vakapfeka nguo dzavatorwa.
9 Chiengʼno, anakum ji duto mamiel e laru mar dino cham, kendo mapongʼo hekalu mar nyiseche manono gi timbe mahundu kod wuond.”
Pazuva iro ndicharanga vose vanonyenyeredza kuti vasatsika paburiro, vanozadza temberi yavamwari vavo nechisimba nounyengeri.
10 Jehova Nyasaye wacho niya, “Chiengʼno, ywak noywagre koa e rangach miluongo ni Dhoranga Rech, nduru noa e bath dala koma nyien, kendo koko nogore matek koa e gode.
“Pazuva iro,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “kuchema kuchanzwikwa kubva kuSuo reHove, kuungudza kubva kuRutivi Rutsva rweguta, nokukoromoka kukuru kubva kuzvikomo.
11 Gouru nduru un joma odak e mier moluoro chiro, johala mau madongo duto ibiro yweyo oko, kendo ji duto maloko ohand pesa notiek pep.
Ungudzai imi munogara munharaunda yomusika, vashambadzi venyu vose vachaparadzwa, vose vanotengesa nesirivha vachaparadzwa.
12 E ndalono abiro menyo Jerusalem gi teche ka akumo joma odak kanyo madhi nyime gi timo timbe maricho, ma gin joma chalo mana gi divai mawach; ka giparo ni, ‘Jehova Nyasaye ok notim gimoro amora maber kata marach.’
Panguva iyoyo ndichanzvera Jerusarema nomwenje; uye ndicharanga vaya vagere zvavo, vakaita sewaini yakasiyiwa mumasese ayo, vanofunga kuti, ‘Jehovha hapana zvaangaita, zvakanaka kana zvakaipa.’
13 Mwandugi noyaki kendo utegi nomuki. Gibiro gero udi, to ok ginidagie, bende gibiro pitho puothe mzabibu to ok gini madh divai moa kuomgi.”
Upfumi hwavo huchapambwa, dzimba dzavo dzichaputswa, vachavaka dzimba, asi havangagari madziri; vachasima minda yemizambiringa, asi havanganwi waini yacho.
14 “Odiechiengʼ maduongʼ mar Jehova Nyasaye chiegni, adier ochiegni kendo obiro piyo. Chik iti! Ywagruok e odiechieng Jehova Nyasaye nobed malit, kendo jolweny bende nogo koko kanyo.
“Zuva guru raJehovha rava pedyo, pedyo, uye riri kuuya nokukurumidza. Teererai! Kuchema pazuva raJehovha kucharwadza, kuchema kwemhere ipapo.
15 Odiechiengʼno nobed odiechieng mirima, enobed odiechieng mwodo lak kod rem malit, bende enobed odiechieng chandruok gi kethruok, enobed odiechiengʼ mopongʼ gi boche polo moimore, kendo odiechiengʼ mopongʼ gi rumbi kod mudho.
Zuva iro richava rokutsamwa, zuva rokudzungaira nokumanikidzwa, zuva rokutambudzika nokuparadzwa, zuva rerima nokusuwa, zuva ramakore nezarima.
16 To bende enobed odiechieng turumbete kod sigich mar lweny nowinjre e mier madongo mochiel motegno, kod ute mabeyo mag rito dala.
Zuva rehwamanda nemhere yehondo yokurwisa maguta akakomberedzwa namasvingo, nokurwisa shongwe dzomumakona.
17 “Abiro kelo luoro kod achiedh-nade kuom oganda kendo gibiro wuotho mana ka muofni, nikech gisetimo richo e nyim Jehova Nyasaye. Rembgi nochwer piny kendo nyimbiye igi nopukre oko ka ngʼwe.
Ndichauyisa kudzungaira pavanhu uye vachafamba samapofu, nokuti vakatadzira Jehovha. Ropa ravo richadururwa seguruva, uye nyama yavo sendove.
18 To kata mana fedha mathoth kod dhahabu ma gin-go ok noresgi, odiechiengʼ mar mirimb Jehova Nyasaye. Chiengʼ ma Jehova Nyasaye ngʼadoe bura, nyiego mager ma en-go nowangʼ piny duto, mitiek pep.” Kamano e kaka notiek gik moko duto modak e piny mana kadiemo wangʼ.
Sirivha yavo kana goridhe ravo hazvingagoni kuvaponesa, pazuva rokutsamwa kwaJehovha. Mumoto wegodo rake nyika yose ichaparadzwa, nokuti achauyisa magumo pakarepo kuna vose vanogara panyika.”
