1 Chirevo pamusoro peRenje riri pedyo neGungwa: Kufanana nechamupupuri chinovhuvhuta nomunyika yezasi, mupambi anouya achibva kurenje, kubva kunyika inotyisa.
Uthenga wonena za chipululu cha mʼmbali mwa Nyanja. Ankhondo a ku Elamu ndi Mediya adzabwera ngati kamvuluvulu amene akuwomba modutsa mʼmbali ya nyanja, kuchokera ku chipululu, dziko lochititsa mantha.
2 Ndaratidzwa chiratidzo chinorwadza. Mupanduki anopanduka, muparadzi anotora zvokupamba Eramu, rwisa! Medhia, vandira! Ndichagumisa kugomera kwose kwaakaita kuti kuvepo.
Ine ndaona zinthu zoopsa mʼmasomphenya: Wonyenga akunyenga, wofunkha akufunkha komanso owononga akuwononga. Elamu, yambani nkhondo! Mediya, zingani mzinda! Ine ndidzathetsa mavuto onse amene anayambitsa Ababuloni.
3 Naizvozvo muviri wangu wakazara nokurwadziwa; marwadzo akandibata, kufanana nomukadzi ari kusununguka; ndiri kudzedzereka nezvandinonzwa, ndakanganisika nezvandinoona.
Chifukwa cha zimenezi thupi langa likunjenjemera ndi mantha, ndikumva ululu ngati wa mayi amene akubereka; ndikuvutika kwambiri ndi zimene ndikumva, ndathedwa nzeru ndi zimene ndikuziona.
4 Mwoyo wangu woziya, kutya kwondidederesa; rubvunzavaeni rwandaishuva rwava chinyangadzo kwandiri.
Mtima wanga ukugunda, ndipo ndikunjenjemera ndi mantha; chisisira chimene ndakhala ndikuchifuna chasanduka chinthu choopsa kwa ine.
5 Vanogadzira matafura, vanowaridza micheka pasi, vanodya, vanonwa! Simukai, imi machinda, zodzai nhoo!
Ankhondo a ku Elamu ndi Mediya akukonza matebulo, akuyala mphasa, akudya komanso kumwa! Mwadzidzidzi anamva mawu akuti, “Dzukani inu ankhondo, pakani mafuta zishango zanu!”
6 Zvanzi naIshe kwandiri: “Endai, mundogadza nharirire uye muite kuti azivise zvaanoona.
Zimene Ambuye akunena kwa ine ndi izi; “Pita, kayike mlonda kuti azinena zimene akuziona.
7 Kana achiona ngoro namapoka amabhiza, navatasvi vari pamusoro pembongoro kana vatasvi vari pamusoro pengamera, ngaave akachenjera, akachenjera zvizere.”
Taonani, anthu akubwera ali pa akavalo ndipo akuyenda awiriawiri, okwera pa bulu kapena okwera pa ngamira, mlondayo akhale tcheru kwambiri.”
8 Ipapo nharirire yakadanidzira ichiti, “Zuva nezuva, tenzi wangu, ndinomira pamusoro peshongwe yomurindi; usiku hwoga hwoga ndinogara panzvimbo yangu.
Ndipo mlondayo anafuwula kuti, “Ambuye anga, tsiku ndi tsiku ndimakhala pa nsanja yolondera; Usiku uliwonse ndimakhala pa malo anga olondera.
9 Tarirai, hoyo murume ari kuuya ari mungoro neboka ramabhiza. Uye anopa mhinduro achiti, ‘Bhabhironi rawa, rawa! Zvifananidzo zvose zvavamwari varo zvaputsirwa pasi!’”
Taonani, uyo munthu akubwera atakwera pa galeta ali ndi gulu la akavalo. Mmodzi wa iwo akuti, ‘Babuloni wagwa, wagwa! Mafano onse a milungu yake agwa pansi ndipo aphwanyika!’”
10 Haiwa, vanhu vangu vapwanyirwa paburiro, ndinokuudzai zvandanzwa kubva kuna Jehovha Wamasimba Ose, kubva kuna Mwari waIsraeri.
Inu anthu anga opunthidwa ndi kupetedwa ngati tirigu, ine ndikukuwuzani zimene ndamva ndikukuwuzani Uthenga wochokera kwa Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli.
11 Chirevo pamusoro peDhuma: Mumwe anodana kwandiri ari kuSeiri, achiti, “Nharirire iwe, inguvaiko ino yousiku? Nharirire iwe, inguvaiko ino yousiku?”
Uthenga wonena za Duma: Munthu wina akundiyitana kuchokera ku Seiri kuti, “Iwe mlonda, usikuwu utha liti? Iwe mlonda, utha liti kodi usikuwu?”
12 Nharirire inopindura ichiti, “Mambakwedza achauya, asi nousikuwo. Zvino kana uchida kubvunza, bvunza; uye ugodzokazve.”
Mlonda akuyankha kuti, “Kukucha, koma kudanso. Ngati ukufuna kufunsa, funsa tsopano; ndipo ubwerenso udzafunse.”
13 Chirevo pamusoro peArabhia: Imi ngoro dzavaDhedhani, munodzika misasa mumatenhere eArabhia,
Uthenga wonena za Arabiya: Inu anthu amalonda a ku Dedani, amene usiku mumagona mʼzithukuluzi za ku Arabiya,
14 vigirai vane nyota mvura; imi munogara muTema, uyai nezvokudya zvavanotiza.
perekani madzi kwa anthu aludzu. Inu anthu a ku Tema perekani chakudya kwa anthu othawa nkhondo.
15 Vari kutiza munondo, kubva kumunondo wavhomorwa, nokuuta hwawemburwa, uye nokupisa kwehondo.
Iwo akuthawa malupanga, lupanga losololedwa, akuthawa uta wokokakoka ndiponso nkhondo yoopsa.
16 Zvanzi naJehovha kwandiri: “Pachinguva chegore rimwe chete, sokuverenga kungaita mushandi akabatwa nechibvumirano, kuzvikudza kwose kweKedhari kuchapera.
Zimene Ambuye akunena kwa ine ndi izi: “Chaka chimodzi chisanathe, potsata mmene amawerengera munthu waganyu, ulemerero wonse wa Kedara udzatheratu.
17 Varume vouta vachapunyuka, ivo mhare dzeKedhari vachava vashoma.” Jehovha, Mwari weIsraeri ataura.
Mwa anthu okoka uta, ankhondo a ku Kedara opulumuka adzakhala owerengeka.” Wayankhula ndi Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli.
