Zefania 1
1 Shoko raJehovha rakasvika kuna Zefania, mwanakomana waKushi, mwanakomana waGedharia, mwanakomana waAmaria, mwanakomana waHezekia, pamazuva okutonga kwaJosia mwanakomana waAmoni mambo weJudha richiti:
Ekigambo kya Mukama ekyajjira Zeffaniya mutabani wa Kuusi, muzzukulu wa Gedaliya, muzzukulu wa Amaliya, muzzukulu wa Keezeekiya, mu mirembe gya Yosiya mutabani wa Amoni, Kabaka wa Yuda.
2 “Ndichatsvaira zvose kubva pamusoro penyika,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
“Ndizikiririza ddala byonna okuva ku nsi,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
3 “Ndichatsvaira zvose vanhu nemhuka; ndichatsvaira shiri dzedenga nehove dzegungwa. Vakaipa vachasara nemirwi yamarara chete, kana ndabvisa munhu pamusoro penyika,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
“Ndizikiriza abantu wamu n’ensolo; ndizikiriza ebinyonyi eby’omu bbanga n’ebyennyanja; ababi balisigaza ntuumu ya kafakalimbo; bwe ndimalawo abantu okuva ku nsi,” bw’ayogera Mukama.
4 Ndichatambanudza ruoko rwangu kuti ndirwise Judha uye ndicharwisa vose vanogara muJerusarema. Ndichaparadza kubva panzvimbo ino vose vakasara vaBhaari, mazita avaprista vechihedheni vanonamata zvifananidzo,
Ndigololera ku Yuda omukono gwange, era ne ku abo bonna abali mu Yerusaalemi; era ekitundu kya Baali ekifisseewo n’ennyumba ya Bakemali, bakabona abasinza ebifaananyi, ndibazikiriza okuva mu kifo kino,
5 vaya vanopfugama pamusoro pedzimba kuti vanamate nyeredzi dzedenga, vaya vanopfugama vachipika naJehovha uye vanopikawo naMoreki,
abo abavuunamira eggye ery’omu ggulu ku nnyumba waggulu, ne balisinza n’abo abalayira mu linnya lya Mukama, ate nga balayira ne mu linnya lya Malukamu,
6 vaya vanotsauka kubva pakutevera Jehovha uye vasingatsvaki Jehovha kana kubvunza kwaari.
abo abadda emabega obutagoberera Mukama, wadde abo abatamunoonya newaakubadde okumwebuuzaako.
7 Nyararai pamberi paIshe Jehovha, nokuti zuva raJehovha rava pedyo. Jehovha agadzirira chibayiro; akavaita vatsvene, vaya vaakakoka.
Siriikirira awali Mukama Katonda, kubanga olunaku lwa Mukama luli kumpi. Mukama ategese ssaddaaka, era atukuzizza abagenyi be.
8 Pazuva rechibayiro chaJehovha, ndicharova machinda navanakomana vamambo, navaya vose vakapfeka nguo dzavatorwa.
Ku lunaku olwa ssaddaaka ya Mukama, ndibonereza abakungu n’abaana ba Kabaka, n’abo bonna abambadde ebyambalo ebitasaana.
9 Pazuva iro ndicharanga vose vanonyenyeredza kuti vasatsika paburiro, vanozadza temberi yavamwari vavo nechisimba nounyengeri.
Awo ku lunaku olwo ndibonereza abo bonna abeewala okulinnya ku muziziko, n’abo abajjuza ennyumba ya Mukama waabwe ebikolwa eby’obukambwe n’obulimba.
10 “Pazuva iro,” ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, “kuchema kuchanzwikwa kubva kuSuo reHove, kuungudza kubva kuRutivi Rutsva rweguta, nokukoromoka kukuru kubva kuzvikomo.
Ku lunaku olwo, bw’ayogera Mukama, eddoboozi ery’okukaaba liriwulikika ku Mulyango ogw’Ebyennyanja, okukaaba okuva ku luuyi olwokubiri, n’okubwatuka okunene okuva ku nsozi.
11 Ungudzai imi munogara munharaunda yomusika, vashambadzi venyu vose vachaparadzwa, vose vanotengesa nesirivha vachaparadzwa.
Mwekaabireko, mmwe abali mu matwale g’akatale; abasuubuzi bammwe bonna zibasanze, n’abo abeebinika ffeeza balizikirizibwa.
12 Panguva iyoyo ndichanzvera Jerusarema nomwenje; uye ndicharanga vaya vagere zvavo, vakaita sewaini yakasiyiwa mumasese ayo, vanofunga kuti, ‘Jehovha hapana zvaangaita, zvakanaka kana zvakaipa.’
Awo olulituuka mu biro ebyo ndimulisa Yerusaalemi n’ettabaaza nga nnoonya, mbonereze abo bonna abalagajjavu abali ng’omwenge ogutanasengejjebwa, abalowooza nti Mukama talibaako ne ky’akolawo.
13 Upfumi hwavo huchapambwa, dzimba dzavo dzichaputswa, vachavaka dzimba, asi havangagari madziri; vachasima minda yemizambiringa, asi havanganwi waini yacho.
Obugagga bwabwe bulinyagibwa, n’ennyumba zaabwe zimenyebwemenyebwe. Ne bwe balizimba ennyumba tebalizituulamu, era balisimba ennimiro ez’emizabbibu nazo tebalinywa wayini wamu.
14 “Zuva guru raJehovha rava pedyo, pedyo, uye riri kuuya nokukurumidza. Teererai! Kuchema pazuva raJehovha kucharwadza, kuchema kwemhere ipapo.
Olunaku lwa Mukama olukulu luli kumpi; ddala lunaatera okutuuka. Wuliriza! Omulwanyi alikaabira eyo ng’aliko obuyinike bungi, n’okukaaba ku lunaku lwa Mukama kujja kuba kungi nnyo.
15 Zuva iro richava rokutsamwa, zuva rokudzungaira nokumanikidzwa, zuva rokutambudzika nokuparadzwa, zuva rerima nokusuwa, zuva ramakore nezarima.
Olunaku olwo lunaku lwa busungu, lunaku lwa buyinike n’okulaba ennaku, lunaku lwa mutawaana n’okuzikirira, olunaku olw’ekikome n’ekizikiza, olunaku lw’ebire n’ekizikiza ekikutte ennyo;
16 Zuva rehwamanda nemhere yehondo yokurwisa maguta akakomberedzwa namasvingo, nokurwisa shongwe dzomumakona.
olunaku olw’okufuuwa ekkondeere n’okulangirira olutalo ku bibuga ebiriko ebigo n’eri eminaala emigulumivu.
17 Ndichauyisa kudzungaira pavanhu uye vachafamba samapofu, nokuti vakatadzira Jehovha. Ropa ravo richadururwa seguruva, uye nyama yavo sendove.
Ndireeta, obuyinike ku bantu, batambule ng’abazibe b’amaaso, kubanga bakoze ebibi mu maaso ga Mukama, omusaayi gwabwe guliyiyibwa ng’enfuufu, n’ebyenda byabwe bivundire kungulu.
18 Sirivha yavo kana goridhe ravo hazvingagoni kuvaponesa, pazuva rokutsamwa kwaJehovha. Mumoto wegodo rake nyika yose ichaparadzwa, nokuti achauyisa magumo pakarepo kuna vose vanogara panyika.”
Effeeza yaabwe ne zaabu yaabwe tebiriyinza kubataasa ku lunaku olw’obusungu bwa Mukama. Ensi yonna erizikirizibwa omuliro gw’obuggya bwe, era alimalirawo ddala abo bonna abali mu nsi.
