< Kuungudza kwaJeremia 5 >
1 Rangarirai Jehovha, zvakatiwira; tarirai, mugoona kunyadziswa kwedu.
Inu Yehova, kumbukirani zimene zinatichitikira; yangʼanani ndipo muone kunyozeka kwathu.
2 Nhaka yedu yakapiwa kuvatorwa, misha yedu kumabvakure.
Apereka cholowa chathu kwa obwera, nyumba zathu kwa alendo.
3 Tava nherera, hatina vabereki, vanamai vedu sechirikadzi.
Takhala amasiye ndi wopanda abambo, amayi athu ali ngati akazi amasiye.
4 Tinofanira kutenga mvura yatinonwa; huni dzedu dzinongowanikwa chete nomutengo.
Tiyenera kugula madzi amene timamwa, nkhuni zathunso nʼzogula.
5 Avo vanotidzinganisa vari pedyo pedyo; taneta uye hatina zororo.
Otilondola atigwira pakhosi; tafowoka ndipo sakutilola kupumula.
6 Takazviisa pasi peIjipiti neAsiria, kuti tiwane chingwa chakakwana.
Tinadzipereka kwa Aigupto ndi kwa Asiriya kuti tipeze chakudya.
7 Madzibaba edu akatadza uye vakafa, uye tava kurangwa nokuda kwavo.
Makolo athu anachimwa ndipo anafa kale, koma chilango chawo chili pa ife.
8 Varanda vanotitonga, uye hapana angatisunungura kubva pamaoko avo.
Akapolo akutilamulira, ndipo palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe angatimasule mʼdzanja lawo.
9 Tinowana chingwa chedu nokuisa upenyu hwedu munjodzi, nokuda kwomunondo murenje.
Timapeza chakudya chathu poyika miyoyo yathu pa chiswe chifukwa cha lupanga mʼchipululu.
10 Ganda redu rava kupisa sechoto, nokuda kwokupisa kwenzara.
Khungu lathu latentha ngati uvuni mʼngʼanjo, chifukwa cha kuwawa kwa njala.
11 Vakachinya vakadzi muZioni, mhandara, mumaguta eJudha.
Amayi agwiriridwa mu Ziyoni, ndi anamwali mʼmizinda ya Yuda.
12 Machinda akasungirirwa namaoko avo; vakuru havakudzwi.
Akalonga athu akuwapachika pomangirira manja awo, akuluakulu sakuwalemekeza.
13 Majaya anoshanda paguyo; vakomana vanotatarika vakatakura mitoro yehuni.
Achinyamata akukakamizidwa kupera tirigu; anyamata akudzandira ndi mitolo ya nkhuni.
14 Vakuru vakabva pasuo reguta; majaya akarega kuimba kwavo.
Akuluakulu anachokapo pa chipata cha mzinda; achinyamata aleka nyimbo zawo.
15 Mufaro mumwoyo medu waguma; kutamba kwedu kwapinduka kukava kuchema.
Chimwemwe chachoka mʼmitima yathu; kuvina kwathu kwasanduka maliro.
16 Korona yawa kubva pamusoro wedu. Tine nhamo isu, nokuti takatadza!
Chipewa chathu chaufumu chagwa pamutu pathu. Tsoka kwa ife, chifukwa tachimwa!
17 Nokuda kwaizvozvi mwoyo yedu yapera simba, nokuda kwezvinhu izvi meso edu otadza kuona,
Mitima yathu yakomoka chifukwa cha zimenezi, chifukwa cha zinthu zimenezi maso athu sakuona bwino,
18 nokuti Gomo reZioni rava dongo, makava ofambamo.
pakuti phiri la Ziyoni, limene lasanduka bwinja, nkhandwe zikungoyendayendapo.
19 Imi Jehovha, munotonga nokusingaperi; chigaro chenyu choushe chiripo kuzvizvarwa zvose.
Inu Yehova, lamulirani kwamuyaya; mpando wanu waufumu udzakhalabe ku mibadomibado.
20 Sei muchigara muchitikanganwa? Sei muchitikanganwa kwenguva yakareba kudai?
Chifukwa chiyani mumatiyiwala nthawi zonse? Chifukwa chiyani mwatitaya nthawi yayitali chotere?
21 Tidzoserei kwamuri, Jehovha, kuti tigodzoka; vandudzai mazuva edu senguva yekare,
Yehova mutitembenuzire kwa Inu, kuti tibwerere; mukonzenso masiku athu akhale monga akale,
22 kana musina kutiramba zvachose kana kutitsamwira zvikuru kwazvo.
pokhapokha ngati mwatitaya kotheratu, ndi kuti mwatikwiyira kobzola muyeso.
