Zvakazarurwa 18
1 Zvino shure kwezvinhu izvi ndakaona umwe mutumwa achiburuka kubva kudenga, ane simba guru, nyika ndokuvhenekerwa nokubwinya kwake.
Zitatha izi ndinaona mngelo wina akutsika kuchokera kumwamba. Iye anali ndi ulamuliro waukulu, ndipo dziko lapansi linawala ndi ulemerero.
2 Akadanidzira nesimba nenzwi guru, achiti: Rawa, rawa Bhabhironi guru, uye rava ugaro hwemadhimoni, nejere remweya yese yetsvina, nedendere reshiri dzese dzetsvina dzinovengwa.
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 marudzi ese akanwa zvewaini yehasha dzeupombwe hwaro, nemadzimambo enyika akaita upombwe naro, nevashambadzi venyika vakafuma nesimba reumbozha hwaro.
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 Zvino ndakanzwa rimwe inzwi kubva kudenga richiti: Budai kubva mariri vanhu vangu, kuti murege kuva vagovani vezvivi zvaro, uye kuti murege kugamuchira zvematambudziko aro;
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 zvasungana kusvika kudenga, naMwari warangarira zvisakarurama zvaro.
pakuti machimo ake awunjikana mpaka kumwamba, ndipo Mulungu wakumbukira milandu yake.
6 Muritsive sezvarakakutsivaiwo imwi, muchiripamhidzira kupamhidzira kunoenderana nemabasa aro; mumukombe iwoyo marakasanganisa iro, murisanganisire kakapamhidzirwa.
Bwezerani Iye monga momwe iye anakuchitirani. Mubwezereni mowirikiza pa zimene anachita. Mumusakanizire magawo awiri kuchokera mʼchikho chake.
7 Separakazvikudza kudai napo nekurarama muumbozha, murirwadzise nekurishungurudza saizvozvo; nokuti rinoti mumoyo maro: Ndinogara ndiri mambokadzi, uye handisi chirikadzi, uye handingatongooni kuchema.
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 achasvika nezuva rimwe matambudziko aro, rufu nekuchema nenzara; uye richapiswa kwazvo nemoto; nokuti ane simba Ishe Mwari anoritonga.
Chifukwa chake miliri yake idzamugonjetsa tsiku limodzi; imfa, kulira maliro ndi njala. Iye adzanyeka ndi moto pakuti wamphamvu ndi Mulungu Ambuye amene wamuweruza.
9 Nemadzimambo enyika akaita upombwe nekurarama paumbozha naro acharira pamusoro paro nekuchema pamusoro paro, pavachaona utsi hwekupiswa kwaro;
“Mafumu a dziko lapansi, amene anachita naye chigololo nachita naye pamodzi zosangalatsa moyo uno, akadzaona utsi wa kunyeka kwake, adzalira nakhuza maliro ake.
10 vamire kure nekutya kurwadziwa kwaro, vachiti: Nhamo, nhamo, guta guru Bhabhironi, guta rakasimba, nokuti kutongwa kwako kwasvika neawa rimwe.
Iwo adzayima kutali nalira chifukwa choopsedwa ndi mazunzo ake. “‘Tsoka! Tsoka mzinda waukulu iwe, Babuloni mzinda wamphamvu! Mu ora limodzi chiwonongeko chako chafika!’
11 Uye vashambadzi venyika vacharira nekuchema pamusoro paro, nokuti hakuchina munhu achatenga zvitengeswa zvavozve;
“Amalonda a dziko lapansi adzalira nakhuza maliro ake chifukwa palibenso amene akugula katundu wawo,
12 zvitengeswa zvegoridhe, nezvesirivheri, nezveibwe rinokosha, nezvemaparera nezvemucheka wakaisvonaka, nezvine ruvara rwehute, nezvesiriki, nezvezvitsvuku, nemuti umwe neumwe unonhuhwira, nemarudzi ese emidziyo yenyanga dzenzou, nemarudzi ese emidziyo yematanda anokoshesesa, nezvendarira, nezvedare, nezvemabwe machena;
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 nekinamoni, nezvinonhuhwira, namafuta ekuzora, nezvipfungaidzo zvinonhuhwira, newaini, nemafuta, neupfu hwakatsetseka, nezviyo, nemombe, nemakwai, nezvemabhiza, nengoro, nenhapwa, nemweya yevanhu.
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 Zvino michero yaichiviwa nemoyo wako yakabva kwauri, nezvinhu zvese zvinobwinya nezvinopenya zvabva kwauri, haungatongozviwanizve.
“Iwo adzanena kuti, ‘Chipatso chimene unachilakalaka chakuchokera. Chuma chako chonse ndi ulemerero zatha, sizidzapezekanso.’
15 Vashambadzi vezvinhu izvi, vakafumiswa naro, vachamira kure nekutya kurwadziwa kwaro, vachichema nekurira,
Amalonda amene anagulitsa zinthu izi napeza chuma kuchokera kwa iye adzayima patali potero ataopsedwa ndi mazunzo ake. Adzalira ndi kukhuza maliro
16 uye vachiti: Nhamo, nhamo, guta guru, rakange rakapfeka mucheka wakaisvonaka nezvine ruvara rwehute nezvitsvuku, uye rakashongedzwa negoridhe nebwe rinokosha nemaparera!
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 Nokuti neawa rimwe fuma huru yakadai yaparadzwa. Uye mufambisi wezvikepe umwe neumwe, nevese vanofamba pamwe muzvikepe, nevafambi vemuchikepe, nevabati vese vepagungwa vakamira 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 ndokudanidzira vachiona utsi hwekutsva kwaro, vachiti: Nderipi rakafanana naro guta guru?
Akadzaona utsi wa kunyeka kwake, adzakuwa kuti, ‘Kodi panalinso mzinda wina ngati mzinda waukuluwu?’
19 Zvino vakadira guruva pamisoro yavo, ndokudanidzira vachirira nekuchema, vachiti: Nhamo, nhamo, guta guru, maifumiswa nezvinokosha zvaro vese vaiva nezvikepe pagungwa; nokuti rakaparadzwa neawa rimwe.
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 Fara pamusoro paro, iwe denga, nemwi vaapositori vatsvene, nevaporofita, nokuti Mwari wakatonga mutongo wenyu kwariri.
“Kondwerani chifukwa cha iye inu kumwamba! Kondwerani oyera mtima ndi atumwi ndi aneneri! Mulungu wamuweruza iye monga momwe anakuchitirani inu.”
21 Zvino mutumwa umwe ane simba wakasimudza ibwe rakaita seguyo guru, akaposhera mugungwa, achiti: Saizvozvo nechisimba Bhabhironi guta guru richaposherwa uye harichazotongowanikwizve.
Kenaka mngelo wamphamvu ananyamula mwala waukulu ngati mphero yayikulu nawuponya mʼnyanja nanena kuti, “Mwa mphamvu chonchi mzinda waukulu wa Babuloni udzaponyedwa pansi, sudzapezekanso.
22 Nenzwi revaridzi veudimbwa nerevaimbi nerevaridzi venyere nerevaridzi vehwamanda, harichatongonzwikwizve mauri, nemhizha yeumhizha hupi nehupi haichatongowanikwizve mauri, nenzwi reguyo harichatongonzwikwizve 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 uye chiedza chemwenje hachichatongovhenekerizve mauri, nenzwi remuwani neremwenga harichatongonzwikwizve mauri; nokuti vashambadzi vako vaiva vakuru venyika; nokuti neuroyi hwako marudzi ese akatsauswa.
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 Zvino mariri makawanikwa ropa revaporofita nerevatsvene, nerevese vakauraiwa panyika.
Mwa iye munapezeka magazi a aneneri ndi a oyera mtima, ndi onse amene anaphedwa pa dziko lapansi.”
