1 “Mumazuva iwayo, napanguva iyoyo, kana ndichinge ndadzosa pfuma yeJudha neyeJerusarema,
“Masiku amenewo ndiponso nthawi imeneyo, nditadzabwezeretsanso Yerusalemu ndi Yuda mʼchimake,
2 ndichaunganidza ndudzi dzose ndigoenda nadzo kuMupata waJehoshafati. Ipapo ndichavatonga nokuda kwenhaka yangu, vanhu vangu vaIsraeri, nokuti vakaparadzira vanhu vangu pakati pendudzi, uye vakagovana nyika yangu.
ndidzasonkhanitsa anthu a mitundu yonse ndipo ndidzawabweretsa ku Chigwa cha Yehosafati. Kumeneko ndidzawaweruza chifukwa cha cholowa changa, anthu anga Aisraeli, pakuti anabalalitsa anthu anga pakati pa mitundu ya anthu ndikugawa dziko langa.
3 Vakakanda mijenya pamusoro pavanhu vangu, vakatsinhanisa vakomana nezvifeve; vakatengesa vanasikana kuti vagotenga waini yokuti vanwe.
Anagawana anthu anga pochita maere ndipo anyamata anawasinthanitsa ndi akazi achiwerewere; anagulitsa atsikana chifukwa cha vinyo kuti iwo amwe.
4 “Zvino ndakakutadzirai chiiko, imi Tire neSidhoni, nemi matunhu ose eFiristia? Muri kundiripira chimwe chinhu chandakaita here? Zvino kana muchindiripira, ini ndichadzosera zvamakaita pamisoro yenyu chaiyo nokukurumidza chaizvo.
“Kodi tsopano inu a ku Turo ndi Sidoni ndi madera onse a Filisitiya, muli ndi chiyani chotsutsana nane? Kodi mukundibwezera pa zinthu zimene ndakuchitirani? Ngati inu mukundibwezera, Ine ndidzabwezera zochita zanu mofulumira ndi mwachangu pa mitu yanu.
5 Nokuti makatora sirivha negoridhe rangu, mukatakurawo midziyo yangu yakanakisisa mukandoiisa kutemberi dzenyu.
Pakuti munatenga siliva ndi golide wanga ndi kupita nacho chuma changa chamtengowapatali ku nyumba zanu zopembedzera mafano.
6 Makatengesa vanhu veJudha neveJerusarema kuvaGiriki kuti muvaendese kure.
Inu munagulitsa anthu a ku Yuda ndi Yerusalemu kwa Agriki, kuti apite kutali ndi malire a dziko lawo.
7 “Tarirai, ini ndichavamutsa kubva kunzvimbo dzamakavatengesera, uye ndichadzosera pamisoro yenyu chaiyo zvamakaita.
“Taonani, Ine ndidzawachotsa kumalo kumene munawagulitsako, ndipo ndidzabwezera zimene mwachita pa mitu yanu.
8 Ndichatengesa vanakomana navanasikana venyu kuvanhu veJudha, uye vachavatengesa kuvaShebha, rudzi rwuri kure.” Jehovha ataura.
Ndidzagulitsa ana anu aamuna ndi ana anu aakazi kwa anthu a ku Yuda, ndipo iwo adzawagulitsa kwa Aseba, mtundu wa anthu okhala kutali.” Yehova wayankhula.
9 Paridzirai izvi kundudzi dzose: Gadzirirai hondo! Mutsai varwi! Varwi vose ngavaswedere pedyo varwise.
Lengezani izi pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina: Konzekerani nkhondo! Dzutsani ankhondo amphamvu! Asilikali onse afike pafupi ndipo ayambe nkhondo.
10 Pfurai mapadza enyu muaite minondo, uye mapanga okuchekerera miti muaite mapfumo. Asina simba ngaati, “Ndine simba!”
Sulani makasu anu kuti akhale malupanga ndipo zikwanje zanu zikhale mikondo. Munthu wofowoka anene kuti, “Ndine wamphamvu!”
11 Uyai nokukurumidza, imi ndudzi dzose, kubva kumativi ose mugoungana ipapo. Haiwa Jehovha, burutsai varwi venyu.
Bwerani msanga, inu anthu a mitundu yonse kuchokera ku mbali zonse, ndipo musonkhane kumeneko. Tumizani ankhondo anu Yehova!
12 “Ndudzi dzose ngadzimutswe; ngadziende kuMupata waJehoshafati, nokuti ipapo ndipo pandichagara pasi kuti nditonge ndudzi dzose kumativi ose enyika.
“Mitundu ya anthu idzuke; ipite ku Chigwa cha Yehosafati, pakuti kumeneko Ine ndidzakhala ndikuweruza anthu a mitundu yonse yozungulira.
13 Shandisai jeko, nokuti gohwo raibva. Uyai musvine mazambiringa netsoka dzenyu, nokuti chisviniro chazara, uye zvirongo zvopfachukira, uku ndiko kukura kwakaita kuipa kwavo.”
Tengani chikwakwa chodulira tirigu, pakuti mbewu zakhwima. Bwerani dzapondeni mphesa, pakuti mopsinyira mphesa mwadzaza ndipo mitsuko ikusefukira; kuyipa kwa anthuwa nʼkwakukulu kwambiri!”
14 Vazhinji zhinji, vazhinji zhinji, vari mumupata wokutonga. Nokuti zuva raJehovha rava pedyo mumupata wokutonga.
Chigulu cha anthu, chigulu cha anthu, mʼchigwa cha chiweruzo! Pakuti tsiku la Yehova layandikira mʼchigwa cha chiweruzo.
15 Zuva nomwedzi zvichasviba uye nyeredzi dzichadzima.
Dzuwa ndi mwezi zidzadetsedwa, ndipo nyenyezi sizidzawalanso.
16 Jehovha achaomba paZioni, uye achatinhira ari muJerusarema; denga nenyika zvichadedera. Asi Jehovha achava utiziro hwavanhu vake, nhare yavanhu veIsraeri.
Yehova adzabangula kuchokera mu Ziyoni ndipo mawu ake adzamveka ngati bingu kuchokera mu Yerusalemu; dziko lapansi ndi thambo zidzagwedezeka. Koma Yehova adzakhala pothawira pa anthu ake, linga la anthu a ku Israeli.
17 “Ipapo muchaziva kuti ini Jehovha Mwari wenyu, ndinogara muZioni, gomo rangu dzvene. Jerusarema richava dzvene; vatorwa havachazorirwisazve.
“Pamenepo inu mudzadziwa kuti Ine Yehova Mulungu wanu, ndimakhala mu Ziyoni, phiri langa lopatulika. Yerusalemu adzakhala wopatulika; alendo sadzamuthiranso nkhondo.
18 “Pazuva iroro makomo achachururuka waini itsva, uye zvikomo zvichaerera mukaka; hova dzose dzomuJudha dzichaerera mvura. Chitubu chichaerera chichibva muimba yaJehovha, uye chichadiridzira mupata wemiti yemiunga.
“Tsiku limenelo mapiri adzachucha vinyo watsopano, ndipo zitunda zidzayenderera mkaka; mitsinje yonse ya ku Yuda idzadzaza ndi madzi. Kasupe adzatumphuka mʼnyumba ya Yehova ndipo adzathirira Chigwa cha Sitimu.
19 Asi Ijipiti ichava dongo, Edhomu ichava gwenga risina basa, nokuda kwokurwiswa kwakaitwa vanhu veJudha, vakateura ropa risina mhosva munyika yavo.
Koma Igupto adzasanduka bwinja, Edomu adzasanduka chipululu, chifukwa cha nkhondo imene anathira anthu a ku Yuda mʼdziko limene anakhetsa magazi a anthu osalakwa.
20 MuJudha muchagara vanhu nokusingaperi, uye nomuJerusarema kusvikira kuzvizvarwa zvose.
Koma Yuda adzakhala ndi anthu mpaka muyaya ndi Yerusalemu ku mibadomibado.
21 Mhosva yavo yeropa yandisina kuregerera, ndichairegerera,
Kukhetsa magazi kwawo kumene Ine sindinakhululuke ndidzakhululuka.”
