Zvakazarurwa 18
1 Shure kwaizvozvi ndakaona mumwe mutumwa achiburuka kubva kudenga. Akanga ane simba guru, uye nyika yakavhenekerwa nokubwinya kwake.
Zitatha izi ndinaona mngelo wina akutsika kuchokera kumwamba. Iye anali ndi ulamuliro waukulu, ndipo dziko lapansi linawala ndi ulemerero.
2 Akadanidzira nenzwi guru achiti: “Rawa! Rawa Bhabhironi Guta Guru! Rava musha wamadhimoni nougaro hwemweya yose yakaipa, ugaro hweshiri dzose dzine tsvina nedzinonyangadza.
Mngeloyo anafuwula ndi mawu amphamvu kuti: “‘Wagwa! Wagwa Babuloni Wamkulu!’ Wasandulika mokhalamo ziwanda ndi kofikako mizimu yonse yoyipa ndi mbalame zonse zonyansa ndi zodetsedwa.
3 Nokuti ndudzi dzose dzakanwa waini inopengesa youpombwe hwaro. Madzimambo enyika akaita upombwe naro, uye vashambadziri venyika vakapfuma kubva pazvinofadza zvaro zvizhinji.”
Pakuti mayiko onse amwa vinyo ozunguza mutu wazigololo zake. Mafumu a dziko lapansi achita naye chigololo, ndipo amalonda a dziko lapansi analemera kuchokera pa zolakalaka zake zosefukira.”
4 Ipapo ndakanzwa rimwe inzwi kudenga richiti: “Budai mariri, vanhu vangu, kuti murege kugovana naro muzvivi zvaro, kuti murege kugamuchira matambudziko aro api zvawo;
Ndiponso ndinamva mawu ena kuchokera kumwamba akuti: “‘Anthu anga tulukani, mwa iye,’ mungachimwe naye kuti musadzalandire nawo gawo lililonse la miliri yake;
5 nokuti zvivi zvaro zvaita murwi unosvika kudenga, uye Mwari arangarira mhosva dzaro.
pakuti machimo ake awunjikana mpaka kumwamba, ndipo Mulungu wakumbukira milandu yake.
6 Ritsivei semabasa arakaita; ritsivei kaviri pane zvarakaita. Murivhenganisire migove miviri mumukombe waro.
Bwezerani Iye monga momwe iye anakuchitirani. Mubwezereni mowirikiza pa zimene anachita. Mumusakanizire magawo awiri kuchokera mʼchikho chake.
7 Rirwadzisei zvikuru uye murichemedze sokuzvipa mbiri nomufaro kwarakaita. Rinozvikudza mumwoyo maro richiti, ‘Ndigere samambokadzi; handisi chirikadzi, uye handingatongochemi.’
Mumuzunze, kumumvetsa chisoni kwambiri monga mwaulemerero ndi zolakalaka zimene anadzaza mu mtima mwake. Iye anadzikuza nʼkumati, ‘Ndinakhala monga mfumu yayikazi, ine sindine wamasiye ndipo sindidzalira maliro.’
8 Naizvozvo, nezuva rimwe chete matambudziko ake achamukunda anoti: rufu, kuchema, nenzara. Achaparadzwa nomoto, nokuti Ishe Mwari anomutonga mukuru.
Chifukwa chake miliri yake idzamugonjetsa tsiku limodzi; imfa, kulira maliro ndi njala. Iye adzanyeka ndi moto pakuti wamphamvu ndi Mulungu Ambuye amene wamuweruza.
9 “Madzimambo enyika, akaita upombwe naro uye akagovana naro pamufaro waro achati achiona utsi hwokutsva kwaro, achachema uye achaungudza pamusoro paro.
“Mafumu a dziko lapansi, amene anachita naye chigololo nachita naye pamodzi zosangalatsa moyo uno, akadzaona utsi wa kunyeka kwake, adzalira nakhuza maliro ake.
10 Vachitya kurwadziwa kwaro, vachamira kure vagochema vachiti: “‘Nhamo! Nhamo, iwe guta guru, Iwe Bhabhironi, guta resimba! Kuparara kwako kwasvika muawa imwe chete!’
Iwo adzayima kutali nalira chifukwa choopsedwa ndi mazunzo ake. “‘Tsoka! Tsoka mzinda waukulu iwe, Babuloni mzinda wamphamvu! Mu ora limodzi chiwonongeko chako chafika!’
11 “Vashambadziri venyika vachachema uye vachaungudza pamusoro paro nokuti hakuna munhu achatenga nhumbi dzavozve,
“Amalonda a dziko lapansi adzalira nakhuza maliro ake chifukwa palibenso amene akugula katundu wawo,
12 nhumbi dzegoridhe, sirivha, mabwe anokosha namaparera; micheka yakanaka, yepepuru, sirika nemicheka mitsvuku; mhando dzose dzemiti inonhuhwira nezvinhu zvemhando dzose zvakagadzirwa nenyanga dzenzou, namatanda ano mutengo unokosha, ndarira, simbi namabwe akaurungana;
katundu wagolide, siliva, miyala yamtengo wapamwamba ndi ngale; nsalu zoyera kwambiri zapamwamba ndi zofiira; nsalu zasilika ndi zapepo; mitengo iliyonse yonunkhira ndi zinthu zilizonse zopangidwa ndi mnyanga, kapena matabwa ogulidwa ndi ndalama zambiri kapena mkuwa kapena chitsulo ndi mwala wonyezimira;
13 nhumbi dzesinamoni nezvinonhuhwira, mura nezvizoro zvinonhuhwira, waini namafuta omuorivhi, upfu hwakatsetseka negorosi; mombe namakwai; mabhiza nengoro; nemiviri nemweya yavanhu.
zokometsera zakudya, mure, lubani ndi zofukiza zina, vinyo ndi mafuta a olivi, ufa wosalala ndi tirigu; ngʼombe ndi nkhosa; akavalo ndi ngolo; ndi anthu adzagulitsidwa ukapolo.
14 “Vachati, ‘Muchero wawaipanga wabviswa kwauri. Upfumi hwako hwose nezvinobwinya zvako zvose zvapera, hazvichazowanikwizve.’
“Iwo adzanena kuti, ‘Chipatso chimene unachilakalaka chakuchokera. Chuma chako chonse ndi ulemerero zatha, sizidzapezekanso.’
15 Vashambadziri vakatengesa zvinhu izvi uye vakawana pfuma yavo kwariri vachamira kure, vachityiswa nokurwadziwa kwaro. Vachachema uye vachaungudza
Amalonda amene anagulitsa zinthu izi napeza chuma kuchokera kwa iye adzayima patali potero ataopsedwa ndi mazunzo ake. Adzalira ndi kukhuza maliro
16 uye vachadanidzira vachiti: “‘Nhamo! Nhamo, iwe guta guru, wakapfeka mucheka wakanaka, nowepepuru, nomutsvuku, uye unotaima negoridhe, namatombo anokosha namaparera!
ndipo adzalira mokuwa kuti, “‘Tsoka! Tsoka! Mzinda waukulu, iwe wovala nsalu zoyera kwambiri, zapepo ndi zofiira, ndi wonyezimira ndi golide, miyala yamtengo wapamwamba ndi ngale!
17 Muawa imwe chete upfumi hwakakura kudai hwaparara!’ “Vafambisi vose vezvikepe mugungwa, navose vanofamba nezvikepe, vashandi vomuzvikepe navose vanorarama nezvinobva mugungwa, vachamira kure.
Chuma chambiri choterechi chafika powonongeka mu ora limodzi!’ “Oyendetsa sitima ndi onse oyenda pa sitima ya pamadzi, ogwira ntchito mʼsitima ndi onse amene amadalira nyanja pamoyo wa tsiku ndi tsiku adzayima patali potero.
18 Pavachaona utsi hwokutsva kwaro, vachati, ‘Pakambova neguta rakaita seguta guru iri here?’
Akadzaona utsi wa kunyeka kwake, adzakuwa kuti, ‘Kodi panalinso mzinda wina ngati mzinda waukuluwu?’
19 Vachakanda guruva pamisoro yavo, uye nokuchema nokuungudza vachadanidzira vachiti: “‘Nhamo! Nhamo, iro guta guru, vose vaiva nezvikepe pagungwa vakapfuma noupfumi hwaro! Muawa imwe chete, raparara!
Adzathira fumbi pamitu pawo ndipo adzalira nakhuza maliro kuti, “Tsoka! Tsoka mzinda waukulu iwe, kumene onse anali ndi sitima pa nyanja analemera kudzera mʼchuma chake! Mu ora limodzi wawonongedwa.
20 Farai pamusoro paro, imi denga! Farai, vatsvene navapostori navaprofita! Mwari aritonga nokuda kwamabatiro arakakuitai.’”
“Kondwerani chifukwa cha iye inu kumwamba! Kondwerani oyera mtima ndi atumwi ndi aneneri! Mulungu wamuweruza iye monga momwe anakuchitirani inu.”
21 Ipapo mutumwa ane simba akasimudza dombo rakaenzana neguyo guru akarikanda mugungwa, akati: “Nechisimba chakadai guta guru reBhabhironi richakandwa pasi, risingazombowanikwazve.
Kenaka mngelo wamphamvu ananyamula mwala waukulu ngati mphero yayikulu nawuponya mʼnyanja nanena kuti, “Mwa mphamvu chonchi mzinda waukulu wa Babuloni udzaponyedwa pansi, sudzapezekanso.
22 Kuimba kwavaridzi vorudimbwa navaimbi, navaridzi venyere navaridzi vehwamanda, hakuchazonzwikwazve mauri. Hakuna munhu webasa ripi zvaro achazowanikwazve mauri. Inzwi reguyo harichazonzwikwizve mauri.
Mwa iwe simudzamvekanso liwu la woyimba zeze, ndi akatswiri a zoyimbayimba, oyimba zitoliro, ndi lipenga. Mwa iwe simudzapezekanso mʼmisiri wina aliyense. Mwa iwe simudzapezekanso phokoso la mphero.
23 Chiedza chomwenje hachichazovhenekerizve mauri. Inzwi rechikomba neromwenga hazvichazonzwikwazve mauri. Vashambadziri vako vakanga vari vakuru venyika. Nouroyi hwako ndudzi dzose dzakatsauswa.
Kuwala kwa nyale sikudzawunikanso mwa inu. Mawu a mkwati ndi mkwatibwi sadzamvekanso mwa iwe. Amalonda anu anali akuluakulu a dziko lapansi. Mitundu yonse inasokonezedwa ndi zamatsenga zako.
24 Mariri makawanikwa ropa ravaprofita neravatsvene, neravose vakaurayiwa panyika.”
Mwa iye munapezeka magazi a aneneri ndi a oyera mtima, ndi onse amene anaphedwa pa dziko lapansi.”
