Mika 7
1 Inhamoi yandinayo! Ndafanana nouya anounganidza michero yezhizha inosara mumunda wemizambiringa pakukohwa; hapana sumbu ramazambiringa rokudya, kana maonde okutanga andinopanga.
Tsoka ine! Ndili ngati munthu wokunkha zipatso nthawi yachilimwe, pa nthawi yokolola mphesa; palibe phava lamphesa loti nʼkudya, palibe nkhuyu zoyambirira zimene ndimazilakalaka kwambiri.
2 Vanhu vano umwari vabviswa panyika; hapana mumwe akarurama asara. Vanhu vose vanovandira kuti vateure ropa; mumwe nomumwe anovhima hama yake nomumbure.
Anthu opembedza atha mʼdziko; palibe wolungama ndi mmodzi yemwe amene watsala. Anthu onse akubisalirana kuti aphane; aliyense akusaka mʼbale wake ndi khoka.
3 Maoko ose ari maviri ane unyanzvi pakuita zvakaipa; mubati anomanikidzira vanhu kuti vamupe zvipo, mutongi anotambira fufuro, vane simba vanomanikidzira zvido zvavo; vose vanozvironga pamwe chete.
Manja awo onse ndi aluso pochita zoyipa; wolamulira amafuna mphatso, woweruza amalandira ziphuphu, anthu amphamvu amalamula kuti zichitike zimene akuzifuna, onse amagwirizana zochita.
4 Akanaka kupfuura vose akangoita sorukato, vakarurama kupfuura vose vakaipa kupfuura ruzhowa rweminzwa. Zuva renharirire dzenyu rasvika, zuva rokushanyirwa kwenyu naMwari. Zvino ino ndiyo nguva yokukanganiswa kwavo.
Munthu wabwino kwambiri pakati pawo ali ngati mtengo waminga, munthu wolungama kwambiri pakati pawo ndi woyipa kuposa mpanda waminga. Tsiku limene alonda ako ananena lafika, tsiku limene Mulungu akukuchezera. Tsopano ndi nthawi ya chisokonezo chawo.
5 Rega kuvimba nomuvakidzani wako; usavimba neshamwari yako. Kunyange nomukadzi wawakagumbatira, uchenjerere mashoko ako.
Usadalire mnansi; usakhulupirire bwenzi. Usamale zoyankhula zako ngakhale kwa mkazi amene wamukumbatira.
6 Nokuti mwanakomana anozvidza baba vake, mwanasikana anomukira mai vake, muroora anomukira vamwene vake; vavengi vomunhu ndivo vanhu vemhuri yake.
Pakuti mwana wamwamuna akunyoza abambo ake, mwana wamkazi akuwukira amayi ake, mtengwa akukangana ndi apongozi ake, adani a munthu ndi amene amakhala nawo mʼbanja mwake momwe.
7 Asi kana ndirini, ndinomirira netariro kuna Jehovha, ndinomirira Mwari Muponesi wangu; Mwari wangu achandinzwa.
Koma ine ndikudikira Yehova mwachiyembekezo, ndikudikira Mulungu Mpulumutsi wanga; Mulungu wanga adzamvetsera.
8 Usafara pamusoro pangu, iwe muvengi wangu! Kunyange ndakawira pasi, ndichasimuka. Kunyange ndigere murima, Jehovha achava chiedza changu.
Iwe mdani wanga, usandiseke! Ngakhale ndagwa, ndidzauka. Ngakhale ndikukhala mu mdima, Yehova ndiye kuwunika kwanga.
9 Nokuti ndakamutadzira, ndichatakura kutsamwa kwaJehovha, kusvikira andireverera mhosva yangu uye asimbisa kodzero yangu. Achandibudisira kuchiedza, ndichaona kururama kwake.
Ndidzapirira mkwiyo wa Yehova, chifukwa ndinamuchimwira, mpaka ataweruza mlandu wanga ndi kukhazikitsa chilungamo changa. Iye adzanditulutsa ndi kundilowetsa mʼkuwunika; ndidzaona chilungamo chake.
10 Ipapo muvengi wangu achazviona uye achafukidzwa, iye akati kwandiri, “Aripiko Jehovha Mwari wako?” Meso angu achaona kuwa kwake; kunyange iye zvino achatsikwa pasi petsoka sematope mumigwagwa.
Ndipo mdani wanga adzaona zimenezi nadzagwidwa ndi manyazi, iye amene anandifunsa kuti, “Ali kuti Yehova Mulungu wako?” Ndidzaona kugonjetsedwa kwake ndi maso anga; ngakhale tsopano adzaponderezedwa ngati matope mʼmisewu.
11 Zuva rokuvaka masvingo enyu richasvika, zuva rokuwedzerwa kwemiganhu yenyu.
Idzafika nthawi yomanganso makoma anu, nthawi yokulitsanso malire anu.
12 Pazuva iro vanhu vachauya kwauri vachibva kuAsiria namaguta eIjipiti, kunyange kubva kuIjipiti kusvikira kuYufuratesi, uye kubva kugungwa kusvika kune rimwe gungwa, nokubva kugomo kusvika kune rimwe gomo.
Nthawi imeneyo anthu adzabwera kwa inu kuchokera ku Asiriya ndi mizinda ya ku Igupto, ngakhale kuchokera ku Igupto mpaka ku Yufurate ndiponso kuchokera ku nyanja ina mpaka ku nyanja inanso kuchokera ku phiri lina mpaka ku phiri linanso.
13 Nyika ichava dongo nokuda kwavagari vayo, nokuda kwamabasa avo.
Dziko lapansi lidzasanduka chipululu chifukwa cha anthu okhala mʼdzikomo, potsatira zochita za anthuwo.
14 Fudza vanhu vako nomudonzvo wako, boka renhaka yako, rinogara roga musango, mumafuro akanaka. Rega afure muBhashani reGireadhi samazuva ekare.
Wetani anthu anu ndi ndodo yanu yowateteza, nkhosa zimene ndi cholowa chanu, zimene zili zokha mʼnkhalango, mʼdziko la chonde. Muzilole kuti zidye mu Basani ndi mu Giliyadi monga masiku akale.
15 “Sapamazuva amakabuda kubva muIjipiti, ndichavaratidza zvishamiso zvangu.”
“Ndidzawaonetsa zodabwitsa zanga, ngati masiku amene ndinawatulutsa mʼdziko la Igupto.”
16 Ndudzi dzichazviona uye dzichanyadziswa, dzisisina simba radzo rose. Vachabata miromo yavo uye nzeve dzavo dzichadzivira.
Mitundu ya anthu idzaona zimenezi ndipo idzachita manyazi, ngakhale ali ndi mphamvu zotani. Adzagwira pakamwa pawo ndipo makutu awo adzagontha.
17 Vachananzva guruva senyoka, sezvipuka zvinokambaira pasi. Vachabuda vachidedera kubva munzvimbo dzavo dzokuvanda; vachadzoka vachitya kuna Jehovha Mwari wedu, uye vachakutyai.
Adzabwira fumbi ngati njoka, ngati zolengedwa zomwe zimakwawa pansi. Adzabwera akunjenjemera kuchokera mʼmaenje awo; mwamantha adzatembenukira kwa Yehova Mulungu wathu ndipo adzachita nanu mantha.
18 Ndiani Mwari akaita semi, anoregerera chivi uye anokanganwira kudarika kwavakasara venhaka yake? Hamugari makatsamwa nokusingaperi, asi munofarira kunzwira ngoni.
Kodi alipo Mulungu wofanana nanu, amene amakhululukira tchimo ndi kuyiwala zolakwa za anthu otsala amene ndi cholowa chake? Inu simusunga mkwiyo mpaka muyaya koma kwanu nʼkuonetsa chikondi chosasinthika.
19 Muchava nenyasha kwatiri zvakare; muchatsikira zvivi zvedu pasi petsoka uye muchakanda kuipa kwedu kwose pakadzikadzika mugungwa.
Inu mudzatichitiranso chifundo; mudzapondereza pansi machimo athu ndi kuponyera zolakwa zathu zonse pansi pa nyanja.
20 Muchava makatendeka kuna Jakobho, mucharatidza nyasha kuna Abhurahama, sezvamakapika mhiko kumadzibaba edu mumazuva akare.
Mudzakhala wokhulupirika kwa Yakobo, ndi kuonetsa chifundo chanu kwa Abrahamu, monga munalonjeza molumbira kwa makolo athu masiku amakedzana.
