Yoweli 3:1-21
3 “Mʼmasiku amenewo ndiponso pa nthawiyo,Ndikadzabwezeretsa anthu a ku Yuda ndi a ku Yerusalemu amene anagwidwa ukapolo,+
2 Ndidzasonkhanitsanso anthu a mitundu yonse,Nʼkuwabweretsa mʼchigwa cha Yehosafati.*
Ndipo ndidzawaweruza kumeneko,+Mʼmalo mwa anthu anga ndiponso cholowa changa, Isiraeli.Chifukwa anamwaza Aisiraeli pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina,Ndiponso anagawana dziko langa.+
3 Ankachitira maere anthu anga.+Ankagulitsa mnyamata kuti alipire hule,Ndipo ankagulitsa mtsikana kuti agule vinyo woti amwe.
4 Komanso kodi ndakulakwira chiyaniIwe Turo ndi Sidoni ndiponso nonse amʼchigawo cha Filisitiya?
Kodi mukundichitira zimenezi pondibwezera zimene ndinachita?
Ngati mukundibwezera,Ine ndidzakubwezerani mwamsanga ndiponso mofulumira zimene mwandichitirazo.+
5 Chifukwa chakuti mwatenga siliva ndi golide wanga,+Ndipo mwabweretsa zinthu zanga zabwino kwambiri mu akachisi anu,
6 Komanso mwagulitsa anthu a ku Yuda ndi a ku Yerusalemu kwa Agiriki,+Kuti muwapititse kutali ndi dziko lawo,
7 Choncho ndiwatenga kuti achoke kumalo amene munawagulitsa,+Ndipo ndikubwezerani zimene munachita.
8 Ndidzagulitsa ana anu aamuna ndi aakazi kwa anthu a ku Yuda.+Iwo adzawagulitsa kwa anthu a ku Sheba, mtundu wa anthu akutali.Ine Yehova ndanena zimenezi.
9 Lengezani kwa anthu a mitundu ina+ kuti:
‘Konzekerani nkhondo! Konzekeretsani amuna amphamvu!
Asilikali onse abwere nʼkuukira!+
10 Sulani makasu anu a pulawo kuti akhale malupanga, ndiponso zida zanu zosadzira mitengo kuti zikhale mikondo.
Munthu wofooka anene kuti: “Ndine wamphamvu.”
11 Inu anthu a mitundu yotizungulira, bwerani mudzathandize ndipo nonse musonkhane.’”+
Inu Yehova, bweretsani asilikali anu kumalo amenewo.
12 “Mitundu ya anthu inyamuke nʼkubwera kuchigwa cha Yehosafati,Chifukwa ndidzakhala kumeneko kuti ndiweruze anthu a mitundu yozungulira.+
13 Yambani kumweta ndi chikwakwa, chifukwa zokolola zacha.
Bwerani nʼkuyamba kuponda chifukwa moponderamo mphesa mwadzaza.+
Malo ogweramo vinyo asefukira, chifukwa zoipa zawo zachuluka kwambiri.
14 Anthu ambirimbiri ali mʼchigwa choweruzira mlandu,Chifukwa tsiku la Yehova layandikira mʼchigwa choweruzira mlandu.+
15 Dzuwa ndi mwezi zidzachita mdima,Ndipo nyenyezi zidzasiya kuwala.
16 Yehova adzabangula kuchokera ku Ziyoni,Ndipo adzalankhula mokweza ali ku Yerusalemu.
Kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi zidzagwedezeka.Koma Yehova adzakhala malo othawirako a anthu ake,+Malo achitetezo champhamvu kwa Aisiraeli.
17 Ndipo mudzadziwa kuti ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu, amene ndimakhala mu Ziyoni, phiri langa lopatulika.+
Yerusalemu adzakhala malo opatulika,+Ndipo anthu achilendo* sadzadutsanso mmenemo.+
18 Nthawi imeneyo mʼmapiri akuluakulu mudzatuluka vinyo wotsekemera.+Mʼmapiri angʼonoangʼono mudzayenda mkaka.Ndipo mʼmitsinje yonse ya Yuda mudzayenda madzi.
Kasupe adzatuluka mʼnyumba ya Yehova,+Ndipo adzathirira chigwa cha Mitengo ya Mthethe.
19 Koma Iguputo adzasanduka bwinja,+Ndipo Edomu adzakhala chipululu chopanda kanthu.+Chifukwa cha nkhanza zimene anachitira anthu a ku Yuda,+Ndiponso chifukwa chokhetsa magazi a anthu osalakwa mʼdziko la Yudalo.+
20 Koma ku Yuda kuzidzakhala anthu nthawi zonse,Ndipo ku Yerusalemu kudzakhala anthu mibadwomibadwo.+
21 Magazi awo amene anali ndi mlandu adzakhala opanda mlandu,+Ndipo ine Yehova ndizidzakhala ku Ziyoni.”+
