Nahumu 2:1-13
2 Ule omwe ambamwaza wanthu wafika kuti adzanesane nawe.*
Khotcerera muro wako wakulimba.
Lindira miseu yako.
Cita bzentse bzomwe ungakwanise* kuti ugumane mphanvu zakumenyera nkhondo.
2 Pakuti Yahova an’dzabwezeresa ulemerero bwa Djakobo,Ndipo an’dzabwezeresambo ulemerero bwa Jirayeri,Thangwe anyakupfudza adawapfudzaNdipo adadzonga mthambi zawo.
3 Bzakukhotcera bza anyamadulanthaka wa Ninive n’bzifuira,Anyankhondo wawo adabvala bzakubvala bzifuira.
Simbi za ngolo zawo za nkhondo zikuyetima ninga motoPa ntsiku yomwe iye akukonzekera nkhondo,Ndipo iwo akutekenyesa madipa yawo yakukonzedwa na miti.
4 Ngolo zawo za nkhondo zimbathamanga kwene-kwene m’miseu,
Izo zimbakwira zicipolika mwakuthamanga m’misika.
Zimbayetima ninga mibvuniko ndipo zimbayetimambo ninga mpheni.
5 Iye an’dzacemera akulu-akulu wa anyankhondo wace.
Iwo an’dzakhukhumudwa pakuyenda.
An’dzathamangira mpaka ku muro wa mzindayo,Iwo an’dzalimbisa mimuro* yawo.
6 Misuwo ya mikulo in’dzafungulidwa,Ndipo nyumba ya mambo in’dzapfudzidwa.*
7 Nkhaniyi yatsimikiziridwa kuti: Iye wakhundulidwa ndipo wacitisidwa manyaziIye an’dzatengedwa ndipo akapolo wace wacikazi an’dzalira;An’dzalira ninga nkhangaiwa acimbabzimenya-menya pa nkhombe.*
8 Nthawe zentse Ninive ali ninga thawale la madzi,Tsono tsapano iwo akuthawa.
“Imani! Imani!”
Tsono palibe omwe akuzungunuka.
9 Pambani prata,* pambani oro!
Thangwe cuma cawo n’cakusaya malire
Pakuti iye adadzala na bzinthu bzizinji bzabwino.
10 Mzindayo wasiyidwa ulibe cinthu, wasala matere ndipo wapfudzidwa!
Mitima yawo ikusungunuka na mantha, mabondo yawo yamala mphanvu ndipo m’ciuno mwawo mukutetemera;Nkhope zawo zentse zina mantha.
11 Kodi mbuto yomwe mphondolo zimbabisalira iri kuponi, komwe mphondolo* zimbadyera?Mbuto yomwe mphondolo imbafamba na mwana wace,Komwe palibe omwe ambazicitisa mantha?
12 Mphondoloyo ikhakhabvula bzirombo bzizinji kuti wana wace adyeNdipo ikhapha bzirombo kuti ipasembo mphondolo zacikazi,
Iyo ikhacitisa kuti mu mphako zace mupitirize kukhala na nyama zomwe ikhaphataM’mbuto zace zakubisalira mukhadzala na bzirombo bzomwe ikhaphata.
13 Yahova wa anyakhondo akuti: “Ona! Ndikubwera kudzakulanga,Nin’dzatentha na moto ngolo zace za nkhondo,Ndipo xipada in’dzapha mphondolo zako.Un’dzasodza lini pomwe pa dziko la pantsi,*
Ndipo mafala ya wanthu wako omwe umbawatumaYan’dzabveka lini pomwe.”
