Mikeya 3:1-12
3 Ine ndalonga: “Ndaphata miyendo, bveserani imwe atsogoleri a dzindza ya Yakobe,Pontho imwe atongi a dzindza ya Izraeli.+
Kodi simwe tayu akhafunika kucita pinthu pyakulungama?
2 Mbwenye imwe musaida pinthu pyadidi+ mbamufuna pinthu pyakuipa;+Imwe musabulusa khanda ya mbumba yanga na nyama ya magogodo awo.+
3 Pontho musadya nyama ya mbumba yanga+Mbamubulusa khanda yawo,Musaswa magogodo awo, mbamuanyedza-nyedza,+Ninga magogodo na nyama yakuti isaphikwa ncikalango.*
4 Unadzafika ndzidzi wakuti iwo anadzacemera Yahova toera kuphemba ciphedzo,Mbwenye iye nee anadzaatawira.
Pa ndzidzi unoyu iye anadzaabisira nkhope yace,+Thangwi ya madawo iwo.+
5 Ipi ndi pinalonga Yahova kuna aprofeta anapeusa mbumba yanga,+Akuti asakhazikisa ntendere+ angakhala na cinthu toera kutafuna* na mano awo,+Mbwenye asamenyana na ale anakhonda kuikha cinthu pamulomo pawo:
6 ‘Imwe munadzakhala ncidima ninga namasiku;+ pontho nee munadzaona masomphenya;+Imwe basi ene munadzaona cidima, imwe nee munadzacitabve pyakulotera.
Kuna aprofeta dzuwa inadzabira,Pontho masikati anadzakhala cidima kuna iwo.+
7 Anyakuona masomphenya anadzapaswa manyadzo,+Pontho anyakulotera anadzaphatiswa mwala.
Iwo onsene anadzafunga milomo yawo,Thangwi Mulungu nee anadzaatawira.’”
8 Mbwenye ine ndiri na mphambvu zizinji thangwi ya nzimu wakucena wa Yahova,Iwo usandiphedza toera ndicite pinthu mwaulungami, pontho mwacipapo,Toera kupanga Yakobe kukhonda kwace kubvera, pontho toera kupanga Izraeli madawo ace.
9 Ndaphata miyendo, bveserani imwe atsogoleri a dzindza ya Yakobe,Pontho imwe atongi a dzindza ya Izraeli.+
Imwe munaida ulungami, pontho imwe munagongonyesa pinthu pyonsene pyakulungama,+
10 Musapha anthu toera kumanga Sioni, pontho musaphatisira kusowa ulungami toera kumanga Yerusalemu.+
11 Atsogoleri ace asatonga mwakudyekerwa,+Anyantsembe ace asapfundzisa toera kulipwa,+Aprofeta ace asacita pyakulotera toera kupaswa kobiri.*+
Ngakhale tenepo iwo asanyerezera kuti asanyindira Yahova mbalonga:
“Kodi Yahova nee ali na ife?+
Nkhabe nyatwa inafuna kutigwera.”+
12 Natenepa thangwi ya imwe,Sioni anadzalimwa ninga munda,Nzinda wa Yerusalemu unadzafudzwa mbusala madembe,+Pontho phiri ya panyumba ya Mulungu inadzakhala ninga nthunda yakuti iri mu nsitu.+
