Pigeni tarumbeta katika Sayuni; pigeni mbiu katika mlima wangu mtakatifu. Wote waishio katika nchi na watetemeke, kwa kuwa siku ya Bwana inakuja. Iko karibu,
2 day darkness and darkness day cloud and cloud like/as dawn to spread upon [the] mountain: mount people many and mighty like him not to be from [the] forever: antiquity and after him not to add: again till year generation and generation
siku ya giza na huzuni, siku ya mawingu na utusitusi. Kama mapambazuko yasambaavyo toka upande huu wa milima hata upande mwingine jeshi kubwa na lenye nguvu linakuja. Jambo kama hili halijakuwepo tangu zamani wala halitakuwepo tena kamwe kwa vizazi vijavyo.
3 to/for face: before his to eat fire and after him to kindle flame like/as garden Eden [the] land: country/planet to/for face: before his and after him wilderness devastation and also survivor not to be to/for him
Mbele yao moto unateketeza, nyuma yao miali ya moto inawaka kwa nguvu. Mbele yao nchi iko kama bustani ya Edeni, nyuma yao ni jangwa lisilofaa: hakuna kitu kinachowaepuka.
4 like/as appearance horse appearance his and like/as horse so to run: run [emph?]
Wanaonekana kama farasi; wanakwenda mbio kama askari wapanda farasi.
5 like/as voice: sound chariot upon head: top [the] mountain: mount to skip about [emph?] like/as voice: sound flame fire to eat stubble like/as people: soldiers mighty to arrange battle
Wanatoa sauti kama magari ya vita, wanaporukaruka juu ya vilele vya milima, kama mlio wa miali ya moto ilayo mabua, kama jeshi kubwa lililojipanga kwa ajili ya vita.

Wanapoonekana, mataifa yanakuwa katika maumivu makuu; kila uso unabadilika rangi.

Hakuna anayemsukuma mwenzake; kila mmoja anakwenda mbele moja kwa moja. Wanapita katika vizuizi bila kuharibu safu zao.
9 in/on/with city to rush in/on/with wall to run: run [emph?] in/on/with house: home to ascend: rise about/through/for [the] window to come (in): come like/as thief
Wanaenda kasi kuingia mjini; wanakimbia ukutani. Wanaingia ndani ya nyumba; kwa kuingilia madirishani kama wevi.
10 to/for face: before his to tremble land: country/planet to shake heaven sun and moon be dark and star to gather brightness their
Mbele yao dunia inatikisika, anga linatetemeka, jua na mwezi vinatiwa giza, na nyota hazitoi mwanga wake tena.
11 and LORD to give: cry out voice his to/for face: before strength: soldiers his for many much camp his for mighty to make: do word his for great: large day LORD and to fear: revere much and who? to sustain him
Bwana anatoa mshindo wa ngurumo mbele ya jeshi lake; majeshi yake hayana idadi, ni wenye nguvu nyingi wale ambao hutii agizo lake. Siku ya Bwana ni kuu, ni ya kutisha. Ni nani anayeweza kuistahimili?
12 and also now utterance LORD to return: return till me in/on/with all heart your and in/on/with fast and in/on/with weeping and in/on/with mourning
“Hata sasa,” asema Bwana, “nirudieni kwa mioyo yenu yote, kwa kufunga, kwa kulia na kuomboleza.”
13 and to tear heart your and not garment your and to return: return to(wards) LORD God your for gracious and compassionate he/she/it slow face: anger and many kindness and to be sorry: relent upon [the] distress: harm
Rarueni mioyo yenu na siyo mavazi yenu. Mrudieni Bwana, Mungu wenu, kwa maana yeye ndiye mwenye neema na mwingi wa huruma, si mwepesi wa hasira, ni mwingi wa upendo, huona huruma, hujizuia kuleta maafa.
14 who? to know to return: repent and to be sorry: relent and to remain after him blessing offering and drink offering to/for LORD God your
Ni nani ajuaye? Yeye aweza kugeuka na kuwa na huruma na kuacha baraka nyuma yake: sadaka za nafaka na sadaka za vinywaji kwa ajili ya Bwana Mungu wenu.

Wakusanyeni watu, wekeni wakfu kusanyiko; waleteni pamoja wazee, wakusanyeni watoto, wale wanyonyao maziwa. Bwana arusi na atoke chumbani mwake na bibi arusi naye atoke katika chumba chake.
17 between [the] Portico and to/for altar to weep [the] priest to minister LORD and to say to pity [emph?] LORD upon people your and not to give: make inheritance your to/for reproach to/for to rule in/on/with them nation to/for what? to say in/on/with people where? God their
Makuhani, ambao wanahudumu mbele za Bwana, na walie katikati ya ukumbi wa Hekalu na madhabahu. Waseme, “Wahurumie watu wako, Ee Bwana. Usifanye urithi wako kitu cha kudharauliwa, neno la dhihaka kati ya mataifa. Kwa nini wasemezane miongoni mwao, ‘Yuko wapi Mungu wao?’”
18 and be jealous LORD to/for land: country/planet his and to spare upon people his
Kisha Bwana atakuwa na wivu kwa ajili ya nchi yake na kuwa na huruma juu ya watu wake.
19 and to answer LORD and to say to/for people his look! I to send: depart to/for you [obj] [the] grain and [the] new wine and [the] oil and to satisfy with him and not to give: make [obj] you still reproach in/on/with nation
Bwana atawajibu: “Ninawapelekea nafaka, mvinyo mpya na mafuta, vya kuwatosha ninyi hadi mridhike kabisa; kamwe sitawafanya tena kitu cha kudharauliwa na mataifa.
20 and [obj] [the] northern to remove from upon you and to banish him to(wards) land: country/planet dryness and devastation [obj] face: before his to(wards) [the] sea [the] eastern and end his to(wards) [the] sea [the] last and to ascend: rise stench his and to ascend: rise stench his for to magnify to/for to make: do

21 not to fear land: soil to rejoice and to rejoice for to magnify LORD to/for to make: do
Usiogope, ee nchi; furahi na kushangilia. Hakika Bwana ametenda mambo makubwa.
22 not to fear animal field for to sprout habitation wilderness for tree to lift: bear fruit his fig and vine to give: give strength: rich their
Msiogope, enyi wanyama pori, kwa kuwa mbuga za malisho yenu zinarudia ubichi. Miti nayo inazaa matunda, mtini na mzabibu inatoa utajiri wake.

Furahini, enyi watu wa Sayuni, shangilieni katika Bwana Mungu wenu, kwa kuwa amewapa mvua za vuli kwa kipimo cha haki. Anawapelekea mvua nyingi, mvua ya vuli na ya masika, kama mwanzoni.

Jua litageuzwa kuwa giza na mwezi kuwa mwekundu kama damu, kabla ya kuja siku ya Bwana ile kuu na ya kutisha.

Na kila mtu atakayeliitia jina la Bwana ataokolewa. Kwa maana juu ya Mlima Sayuni na katika Yerusalemu kutakuwepo wokovu, kama Bwana alivyosema, miongoni mwa walionusurika ambao Bwana awaita.
