1 Ekigambo kya Mukama ekyajjira Zeffaniya mutabani wa Kuusi, muzzukulu wa Gedaliya, muzzukulu wa Amaliya, muzzukulu wa Keezeekiya, mu mirembe gya Yosiya mutabani wa Amoni, Kabaka wa Yuda.
Atĩrĩrĩ, ĩno nĩyo ndũmĩrĩri ya Jehova ĩrĩa yakinyĩrĩire Zefania mũrũ wa Kushi, mũrũ wa Gedalia, mũrũ wa Amaria, mũrũ wa Hezekia, rĩrĩa Mũthamaki Josia mũrũ wa Amoni aathamakaga Juda.
2 “Ndizikiririza ddala byonna okuva ku nsi,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
Atĩrĩrĩ, Jehova ekuuga ũũ: “Nĩnganiina indo ciothe ithire biũ, ithire kũndũ guothe gũkũ thĩ.
3 “Ndizikiriza abantu wamu n’ensolo; ndizikiriza ebinyonyi eby’omu bbanga n’ebyennyanja; ababi balisigaza ntuumu ya kafakalimbo; bwe ndimalawo abantu okuva ku nsi,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
Nĩnganiina andũ o na nyamũ; njooke niine nyoni cia rĩera-inĩ, na thamaki cia iria-inĩ. Andũ arĩa aaganu magaatigĩrio o hĩba cia mahuti, hĩndĩ ĩrĩa ngaaniina andũ mathire kũndũ guothe gũkũ thĩ,” ũguo nĩguo Jehova ekuuga.
4 Ndigololera ku Yuda omukono gwange, era ne ku abo bonna abali mu Yerusaalemi; era ekitundu kya Baali ekifisseewo n’ennyumba ya Bakemali, bakabona abasinza ebifaananyi, ndibazikiriza okuva mu kifo kino,
“Nĩngatambũrũkia guoko gwakwa njũkĩrĩre Juda, na njũkĩrĩre andũ othe arĩa matũũraga Jerusalemu. Nĩnganiina mĩhianano ya Baali ĩrĩa ĩtigarĩte gũkũ, na niine marĩĩtwa ma andũ arĩa matooĩ Ngai, na athĩnjĩri-ngai cia mĩhianano,
5 abo abavuunamira eggye ery’omu ggulu ku nnyumba waggulu, ne balisinza n’abo abalayira mu linnya lya Mukama, ate nga balayira ne mu linnya lya Malukamu,
o acio mainamagĩrĩra, makahooya mbũtũ cia igũrũ marĩ nyũmba igũrũ, o na makainamĩrĩra, makehĩta na rĩĩtwa rĩa Jehova, na magacooka makehĩta na rĩĩtwa rĩa Milikomu,
6 abo abadda emabega obutagoberera Mukama, wadde abo abatamunoonya newaakubadde okumwebuuzaako.
o acio matigaga kũrũmĩrĩra Jehova magacooka na thuutha, na maticaragia Jehova, o na kana makamũrongooria.
7 Siriikirira awali Mukama Katonda, kubanga olunaku lwa Mukama luli kumpi. Mukama ategese ssaddaaka, era atukuzizza abagenyi be.
Atĩrĩrĩ, kirai ki mũrĩ mbere ya Mwathani Jehova, nĩgũkorwo mũthenya wa Jehova ũrĩ hakuhĩ. Jehova nĩahaarĩirie igongona; ningĩ nĩamũrĩte andũ arĩa etĩte.
8 Ku lunaku olwa ssaddaaka ya Mukama, ndibonereza abakungu n’abaana ba Kabaka, n’abo bonna abambadde ebyambalo ebitasaana.
Mũthenya ũcio wa igongona rĩa Jehova-rĩ, nĩngaherithia anene, o na herithie ariũ a mũthamaki, hamwe na arĩa othe magaakorwo mehumbĩte nguo cia bũrũri ũngĩ.
9 Awo ku lunaku olwo ndibonereza abo bonna abeewala okulinnya ku muziziko, n’abo abajjuza ennyumba ya Mukama waabwe ebikolwa eby’obukambwe n’obulimba.
Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, nĩngaherithia ataagarari othe a hingĩro, o acio maiyũragia hekarũ ya ngai ciao na haaro na maheeni.”
10 Ku lunaku olwo, bw’ayogera Mukama, eddoboozi ery’okukaaba liriwulikika ku Mulyango ogw’Ebyennyanja, okukaaba okuva ku luuyi olwokubiri, n’okubwatuka okunene okuva ku nsozi.
Jehova ekuuga atĩrĩ, “Mũthenya ũcio nĩgũkaiguuo mũkayo uumĩte Kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa Thamaki, o na kũgirĩka kuumĩte Itũũra Rĩerũ, naguo mũrurumo mũnene wa mũmomoko uume tũrĩma-inĩ.
11 Mwekaabireko, mmwe abali mu matwale g’akatale; abasuubuzi bammwe bonna zibasanze, n’abo abeebinika ffeeza balizikirizibwa.
Girĩkai, inyuĩ mũtũũraga rũgongo rwa ndũnyũ; mũgirĩke tondũ onjorithia anyu othe nĩmekũniinwo, na arĩa othe monjorithanagia na betha manangwo.
12 Awo olulituuka mu biro ebyo ndimulisa Yerusaalemi n’ettabaaza nga nnoonya, mbonereze abo bonna abalagajjavu abali ng’omwenge ogutanasengejjebwa, abalowooza nti Mukama talibaako ne ky’akolawo.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo nĩngoya matawa njethe andũ Jerusalemu, na herithie arĩa meiganĩtie, arĩa mahaana ndibei ĩtiganĩirio na kĩnyita kĩayo, arĩa meciiragia atĩrĩ, ‘Jehova ndarĩ ũndũ angĩĩka, mwega kana mũũru.’
13 Obugagga bwabwe bulinyagibwa, n’ennyumba zaabwe zimenyebwemenyebwe. Ne bwe balizimba ennyumba tebalizituulamu, era balisimba ennimiro ez’emizabbibu nazo tebalinywa wayini wamu.
Ũtonga wao nĩũgatahwo, na nyũmba ciao imomorwo. Nĩmagaka nyũmba, no matigacitũũra; nĩmakahaanda mĩgũnda ya mĩthabibũ, no matikanyua ndibei yayo.
14 Olunaku lwa Mukama olukulu luli kumpi; ddala lunaatera okutuuka. Wuliriza! Omulwanyi alikaabira eyo ng’aliko obuyinike bungi, n’okukaaba ku lunaku lwa Mukama kujja kuba kungi nnyo.
“Mũthenya ũrĩa mũnene wa Jehova ũrĩ hakuhĩ, ũrĩ hakuhĩ na nĩũrooka narua. Ta thikĩrĩriai! Kĩrĩro kĩa mũthenya ũcio wa Jehova gĩgaakorwo kĩrĩ kĩnene, nacio njamba cia ita nĩikaarĩra mũno irĩ kũu.
15 Olunaku olwo lunaku lwa busungu, lunaku lwa buyinike n’okulaba ennaku, lunaku lwa mutawaana n’okuzikirira, olunaku olw’ekikome n’ekizikiza, olunaku lw’ebire n’ekizikiza ekikutte ennyo;
Mũthenya ũcio-rĩ, ũgaakorwo ũrĩ wa mangʼũrĩ, mũthenya wa mĩnyamaro na ruo rũnene, mũthenya wa mathĩĩna na mwanangĩko, mũthenya wa nduma na mairia, mũthenya wa matu na nduma ndumanu,
16 olunaku olw’okufuuwa ekkondeere n’okulangirira olutalo ku bibuga ebiriko ebigo n’eri eminaala emigulumivu.
mũthenya wa kũhuhwo karumbeta na mbugĩrĩrio ya mbaara ya gũũkĩrĩra matũũra marĩa mairigĩirwo na hinya, na gũũkĩrĩra mĩthiringo ĩrĩa mĩraihu na igũrũ.
17 Ndireeta, obuyinike ku bantu, batambule ng’abazibe b’amaaso, kubanga bakoze ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, omusaayi gwabwe guliyiyibwa ng’enfuufu, n’ebyenda byabwe bivundire kungulu.
Nĩngarehere andũ mĩnyamaro, nao magaathiiaga ta andũ atumumu, nĩ ũndũ nĩmehĩirie Jehova. Thakame yao nĩĩgaitwo ta rũkũngũ, nacio nyama cia nda ciao iteo ta irĩ rũrua.
18 Effeeza yaabwe ne zaabu yaabwe tebiriyinza kubataasa ku lunaku olw’obusungu bwa Mukama. Ensi yonna erizikirizibwa omuliro gw’obuggya bwe, era alimalirawo ddala abo bonna abali mu nsi.
Betha kana thahabu ciao itikahota kũmahonokia, mũthenya ũcio wa mangʼũrĩ ma Jehova. Thĩ yothe ĩkaaniinwo na mwaki wa ũiru wake, nĩgũkorwo arĩa othe matũũraga gũkũ thĩ nĩakamaniina o rĩmwe.”
