Yoel 3
1 “Le ŋkeke mawo kple ɣe ma ɣi me ne megaɖo Yuda kple Yerusalem te la,
“Ngalezonsuku langalesosikhathi, lapho sengibuyisela inotho kaJuda leJerusalema,
2 maƒo dukɔwo nu ƒu ɖe Yehosafat ƒe Balime eye madrɔ̃ ʋɔnu wo le afi ma le nye amewo kple nye domenyinu Israel ta, elabena wokaka nye domenyinu la ɖe dukɔwo dome eye woma nye anyigba.
ngizaqoqa izizwe zonke ngizehlisele eSigodini sikaJehoshafathi. Lapho-ke ngizazahlulela mayelana lelifa lami, abantu bami u-Israyeli ngoba zahlakazela abantu bami phakathi kwezizwe, zabelana ilizwe lami.
3 “Wodzidze nu ɖe nye dukɔ dzi eye woma nye amewo. Wotsɔ ŋutsuviwo ɖɔli gbolowoe eye wotsɔ nyɔnuviwo na ɖe wain si woano amu ta.
Zenza inkatho ngabantu bami, zathenga izifebe ngabafana; zathengisa amankazana ngewayini ukuze zinathe.
4 “Tiro kple Sidon kple Filistitɔwo ƒe duwo katã, ɖe miele didim be miabia hlɔ̃ mahã? Mikpɔ nyuie elabena nye asi atre tsɔtsɔ na mi eye nu si mieɖo la atrɔ adze miawo ŋutɔ ƒe ta dzi.
Manje-ke lisolani ngami, wena Thire loSidoni lani lonke zifunda zaseFilistiya? Liyangiphindisela ngolutho engilwenzileyo na? Nxa lingiphindisela, ngizaphanga ngibuyisele elakwenzayo phezu kwamakhanda enu ngokuphangisa.
5 “Mieva lɔ nye klosalo kple sika kple nye kesinɔnu veviwo tsɔ yi ɖe miaƒe trɔ̃wo ƒe xɔwo mee.
Ngoba lathatha isiliva sami legolide lami lathwalela lenotho yami eligugu emathempelini enu.
6 Miedzra Yudatɔwo kple Yerusalemtɔwo na Trɔ̃subɔlawo eye wokplɔ wo dzoe le woawo ŋutɔ ƒe anyigba dzi yi didiƒe ke.
Lathengisa abantu bakoJuda laseJerusalema kumaGrikhi, ukuze libase khatshana lelizwe labo.
7 Gake magakplɔ wo agbɔe tso teƒe siwo katã wokplɔ wo yii eye maɖo nu vɔ̃ siwo katã miewɔ la teƒe na mi.
Khangelani, ngizabavusa ezindaweni elabathengisa kuzo, njalo ngizabuyisela phezu kwamakhanda enu lokho elakwenzayo.
8 Matsɔ mia viŋutsuwo kple nyɔnuwo adzra na Yudatɔwo eye woawo hã adzra wo na Sabeatɔwo le didiƒe ke. Yehowae gblɔe.
Ngizathengisa amadodana enu lamadodakazi enu ebantwini bakoJuda, njalo labo bazawathengisa kumaSabhini, isizwe esikhatshana.” UThixo usekhulumile.
9 “Miɖe gbeƒã nu sia le dukɔwo dome be, ‘Midzra ɖo na aʋawɔwɔ!’ Mitia miaƒe asrafo kalẽtɔwo, miƒo miaƒe aʋawɔlawo katã nu ƒu na aʋawɔwɔ.
Memezelani lokhu ezizweni lithi: Lungiselani impi! Vusani amabutho! Wonke amadoda empi kasondele ahlasele.
10 Mitsɔ miaƒe agblenuwo tu aʋawɔyiwoe eye mitsɔ miaƒe hɛ gobɛwo tu akplɔwoe. Ame gblɔewo negblɔ be, ‘Miawoe nye ŋusẽtɔwo.’
Khandani amakhuba enu abe zinkemba lemihedla yenu yokuthena izihlahla ibe yimikhonto. Obuthakathaka kathi, “Ngiqinile!”
11 Mi dukɔ siwo kaka ɖe afi sia afi, miƒo mia ɖokuiwo nu ƒu ne miava. “O Yehowa, dɔ wò aʋakɔwo be woaɖiɖi ava anyi!
Wozani ngokuphangisa, lonke lina zizwe zasezinhlangothini zonke, libuthane khonapho. Yehlisa amabutho akho, Oh Thixo!
12 “Miƒo dukɔwo nu ƒu; mikplɔ wo va Yehosafat ƒe Balimee, afi ma manɔ adrɔ̃ ʋɔnu wo katã.
“Izizwe kazivuswe; kaziye eSigodini sikaJehoshafathi ngoba ngizahlala khona ukwehlulela izizwe zonke zasezinhlangothini zonke.
13 Azɔ nukuxahɛ newɔ eƒe dɔ elabena nukuawo tsi vɔ hele lalam na nuŋeɣi. Miva, mifanya waintsetseawo, elabena wainfiaƒe la yɔ, eye waindzraɖoƒe la yɔ gbagba, elabena woƒe nu tovowo wɔwɔ sɔ gbɔ.”
Hehethani ngesikela ngoba okuvunwayo sekuvuthiwe. Wozani, gxobani amavini, ngoba isikhamelo sewayini sesigcwele lezimbizakazi seziphuphuma, bukhulu kangaka ububi bazo!
14 Ame akpe akpewo le Nyametsotso ƒe Balime elabena Yehowa ƒe Ŋkeke la tu aƒe le Nyametsotso Balime la.
Amaxuku, amaxuku esigodini sesinqumo! Ngoba usuku lukaThixo luseduze esigodini sezinqumo.
15 Ɣe kple ɣleti ado viviti eye ɣletiviwo magaklẽ o.
Ilanga lenyanga kuzakuba mnyama, lezinkanyezi zingabe zisakhanya.
16 Yehowa aɖe gbe tso Zion eye eƒe gbe aɖi tso Yerusalem eye dziƒo kple anyigba ade asi ʋuʋu me. Ke Yehowa anye sitsoƒe na eƒe amewo kple mɔ sesẽ na eƒe dukɔ Israel.
UThixo uzavungama eseZiyoni aphinde akhwaze eseJerusalema; umhlaba lomkhathi kuzagedezela. Kodwa uThixo uzakuba yisiphephelo sabantu bakhe, inqaba yabantu bako-Israyeli.”
17 “Mlɔeba la, miava nya be nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu, si le Zion, nye To Kɔkɔe la dzi. Yerusalem azu kɔkɔeƒe; ɣeyiɣi li gbɔna esi dutasrafowo magakpɔ mɔ aho aʋa ɖe eŋu o.
“Ngakho lizakwazi ukuthi mina, uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, ngihlala eZiyoni, intaba yami engcwele. IJerusalema izakuba ngcwele; kayiyikuphinda ihlaselwe ngabezizweni futhi.
18 “Le ɣe ma ɣi me la, wain yeye anɔ tsyɔtsyɔm tso towo ŋuti eye nyinotsi anɔ sisim bababa tso togbɛwo tame. Tsi ayɔ Yɔdan tɔʋuwo me banaa, eye tsi asi tso Yehowa ƒe gbedoxɔ la me ade tsi Sitim ƒe Balime.
Ngalolosuku izintaba zizagobhoza iwayini elitsha, lamaqaqa ageleze uchago; zonke indonga zakoJuda zizageleza amanzi. Umthombo uzantuntuza endlini kaThixo uthambise isigodi saseShithima.
19 Egipte azu aƒedo eye Edom azu gbegbe elabena wowɔ vɔ̃ ɖe Yudatɔwo ŋuti, eye wokɔ ʋu maɖifɔwo ɖi le du mawo me.
Kodwa iGibhithe izachithakala, i-Edomi ibe yinkangala elugwadule, ngenxa yodlakela olwenziwa ebantwini bakoJuda lapho bachitha khona igazi elingelacala elizweni labo.
20 Ke Yuda anɔ anyi tegbetegbe, eye Yerusalem anɔ anyi tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
KoJuda kuzahlalwa khona kuze kube nininini laseJerusalema kuzahlala izizukulwane zonke.
21 Mahe to na Egiptetɔwo kple Edomtɔwo ɖe woƒe ʋu maɖifɔ kɔkɔɖi ta.”
Umlandu wabo wegazi, engingakaxoli ngawo, ngizabaxolela ngawo.”
