Mika 5
1 Unganidza mauto ako, iwe guta ramauto, nokuti takombwa nomuvengi. Vacharova mutongi waIsraeri netsvimbo padama.
Iwe mzinda wa anthu ankhondo, sonkhanitsa anthu ako ankhondo, pakuti anthu atizungulira kuti alimbane nafe. Adzakantha ndi ndodo pa chibwano cha wolamulira wa Israeli.
2 “Asi iwe, Bheterehema Efurata, kunyange uri muduku pakati pamarudzi aJudha, kwauri kuchandibudira mumwe achava mutongi pamusoro peIsraeri, mavambo ake ndeakare kare, kubva pamazuva akare kare.”
“Koma iwe Betelehemu Efurata, ngakhale uli wonyozeka pakati pa mafuko a Yuda, mwa iwe mudzatuluka munthu amene adzalamulira Israeli, amene chiyambi chake nʼchakalekale, nʼchamasiku amakedzana.”
3 Naizvozvo Israeri achasiyiwa kusvikira panguva iyo, iye anorwadziwa azvara uye hama dzake dzose dzadzoka kuzobatana navaIsraeri.
Nʼchifukwa chake Israeli adzasiyidwa mpaka pa nthawi imene mayi amene ali woyembekezera adzachire. Ndipo abale ake onse otsalira adzabwerera kudzakhala pamodzi ndi Aisraeli.
4 Achamira agofudza boka rake musimba raJehovha, muukuru hwezita raJehovha Mwari wake. Uye vachagara norugare, nokuti ipapo kukura kwake kuchasvika kumagumo enyika.
Iye adzalimbika, ndipo adzaweta nkhosa zake mwa mphamvu ya Yehova, mu ulemerero wa dzina la Yehova Mulungu wake. Ndipo iwo adzakhala mu mtendere, pakuti ukulu wake udzakhala ponseponse pa dziko lapansi.
5 Uye iye achava rugare rwavo. MuAsiria paacharwisa nyika yedu agofamba achipfuura nomunhare dzedu, tichamumutsira vafudzi vanomwe kuti vamurwise kunyange vatungamiri vasere vavanhu.
Ndipo Iye adzakhala mtendere wawo. Asiriya akadzalowa mʼdziko lathu ndi kuyamba kuthira nkhondo malo athu otetezedwa, tidzawadzutsira abusa asanu ndi awiri, ngakhalenso atsogoleri asanu ndi atatu.
6 Vachatonga nyika yeAsiria nomunondo, nyika yaNimurodhi nomunondo wakavhomorwa. Achatirwira kubva kumuAsiria paachapinda munyika yedu nokupinda pamiganhu yedu.
Iwo adzagonjetsa dziko la Asiriya ndi lupanga, dziko la Nimurodi adzalilamulira mwankhondo. Adzatipulumutsa kwa Asiriya akadzafika mʼmalire a mʼdziko lathu kudzatithira nkhondo.
7 Vakasara vaJakobho vachava pakati pamarudzi akawanda, sedova rinobva kuna Jehovha, sokunaya kwemvura pauswa, zvisingamiriri munhu kana kugaririra vanhu.
Otsalira a Yakobo adzakhala pakati pa mitundu yambiri ya anthu ngati mame ochokera kwa Yehova, ngati mvumbi pa udzu, omwe sulamulidwa ndi munthu kapena kudikira lamulo la anthu.
8 Vakasara vaJakobho vachava pakati pendudzi, pakati poruzhinji rwamarudzi, seshumba pakati pezvikara zvesango, seshumba duku pakati pamapoka amakwai, inotsika uye inobvambura ichienda, pasina anogona kununura.
Otsala a Yakobo adzakhala pakati pa mitundu ya anthu, mʼgulu la anthu a mitundu yambiri, ngati mkango pakati pa nyama za mʼnkhalango. Ngati mwana wa mkango pakati pa gulu la nkhosa, amene pozidutsa amazidya ndi kuzikhadzula, ndipo palibe angathe kuzilanditsa.
9 Ruoko rwenyu ruchasimudzwa mukukunda uye vadzivisi venyu vose vachaparadzwa.
Mudzagonjetsa adani anu, ndipo adani anu onse adzawonongeka.
10 “Pazuva iro,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “ndichaparadza mabhiza enyu pakati penyu uye ndichapwanya ngoro dzenyu.
Yehova akuti, “Tsiku limenelo ndidzawononga akavalo anu onse ndi kuphwasula magaleta anu.
11 Ndichaparadza maguta enyika yenyu uye ndichaputsa nhare dzenyu dzose.
Ndidzawononga mizinda ya mʼdziko mwanu ndi kugwetsa malinga anu onse.
12 Ndichaparadza uroyi hwako uye hauchazovizve navavuki.
Ndidzawononga ufiti wanu ndipo sikudzakhalanso anthu owombeza mawula.
13 Ndichaparadza zvifananidzo zvenyu zvakavezwa neshongwe dzenyu pakati penyu; hamuchazokotamiri kubasa ramaoko enyu.
Ndidzawononga mafano anu osema pamodzi ndi miyala yanu yopatulika imene ili pakati panu; simudzagwadiranso zinthu zopanga ndi manja anu.
14 Ndichadzura kubva pakati penyu matanda aAshera uye ndichaparadza maguta enyu.
Ndidzazula mitengo ya mafano a Asera imene ili pakati panu, ndipo ndidzawononga mizinda yanu.
15 Ndichatsiva nokutsamwa nehasha kundudzi dzisina kunditeerera.”
Ndidzayilanga mwaukali ndi mokwiya mitundu imene sinandimvere Ine.”
