Joeli 3:1-21
3 “Nkaambo amubone! Mumazuba aayo alimwi akuciindi eeco,Eelyo ndaakupilusya baange bana Juda abana Jerusalemu,+
2 Ndiyoobunganya bantu bamasi oonseAkubatola mu Kkuti* lya Jehosafati.*Ndiyoobabeteka ooko+Akaambo kabantu bangu alimwi alukono lwangu, nkokuti bana Israyeli,Nkaambo bakabamwaila akati kamasi,Alimwi bakaapaula akwaabana nyika yangu.+
3 Nkaambo bakabaumina cisolo bantu bangu;+Bakali kusambala mwana musankwa kutegwa babbadele muvwuuleAwalo mwana musimbi bakali kumusambala kutegwa bajane waini wakunywa.
4 Alimwi ino mujisi kaambo nzi kulindime,Nywebo nominzi ya Turo, Sidoni alimwi anozyooko zyoonse zya Filisitiya?
Sena kuli cibi ncomuyanda kundijolela?
Ikuti naa muyanda kundijolela,Nkokuti ambebo cakutasowa ciindi, inzya cakufwambaana ndilamujolela cibi canu amitwe yanu.+
5 Nkaambo nywebo mwabweza nsiliva angolida yangu,+Alimwi lubono lwangu lwiinda kubota mwalutola mumatempele aanu;
6 Abalo bana Juda abana Jerusalemu mwabasambala kuba Giriki,+Ikutegwa mubatole kulamfwu acilawo cabo;
7 Amubone, ndilababusya kuti baboole kuzwa kubusena nkomwakabasambala,+Eelyo ndiyoomujolela cibi canu amitwe yanu.
8 Ndiyoosambala bana banu basankwa abasimbi mumaanza aabantu baku Juda,+Eelyo balo bayoobasambala kubaalumi baku Sheba, kucisi cakulamfwu kapati;Nkaambo Jehova lwakwe nguwaamba.
9 Amwaambilizye makani aaya akati kamasi+ kuti:
‘Amulibambile nkondo! Amubusye baalumi basinguzu!
Basikalumamba boonse abaswene afwaafwi, abaunke!+
10 Amufwule maamba aanu abe mapanga, azyakukwezuzya zyanu zibe masumo.*
Ooyo uutakwe nguzu, aambe kuti: “Ndili singuzu.”
11 Amuboole muzoogwasye, nywebo nomasi nyoonse nomuzingulukide, amubungane antoomwe!’”+
O Jehova, koleta basinguzu bako* kubusena oobo.
12 “Aabuke masi akuboola mu Kkuti* lya Jehosafati;Nkaambo ooko ndiyookkala ansi kutegwa ndibeteke masi oonse aazingulukide.+
13 Amucese asikela, nkaambo zisyango zyabizwa.
Amuboole muzoolyatauke, nkaambo cikandilo camisaansa cazula pamu.+
Zibikkilo zyamusinza wamisaansa zyafwasuka, nkaambo bubi bwabo bwavwula kapati.
14 Makamu-makamu ali mukkuti lyakukosweda* makani,Nkaambo buzuba bwa Jehova buli afwaafwi mukkuti lyakukosweda* makani.+
15 Izuba alimwi amwezi ziyoosiya,Azyalo nyenyeezi ziyooleka kumweka.
16 Jehova uyoovwuluma mu Ziyoni,Uyakoompolola ajwi lyakwe mu Jerusalemu.
Eelyo julu anyika ziyoozungaana;Pele Jehova uyooba mayubilo aabantu bakwe,+Imampangala aabana Israyeli.
17 Eelyo nywebo muyoozyiba kuti ndime Jehova Leza wanu, uukkala mu Ziyoni, icilundu cangu cisalala.+
Jerusalemu uyooba busena busalala,+Eelyo beenzu* tabakalyati limbi mulinguwo.+
18 Mubuzuba oobo, malundu ayookunka waini uulweela,+Tulundu tuyookunka mukupa,Atwalo tulonga toonse twa Juda tuyookunka maanzi.
Muŋanda ya Jehova muyooba kasensa kamaanzi,+Eelyo kayootilila Kkuti* lya Zisamu Zyamuunga.
19 Pele Egepita uyooba matongo,+Awalo Edomu, uyooba nkanda iitakwe cintu,+Akaambo kalunya ndobakacitila bana Juda,+Aabo ibalaacisi eeco mobakatila bulowa bwabantu batakwe mulandu.+
20 Pele Juda unookkalwa bantu lyoonse,Awalo Jerusalemu uyookkalwa bantu kuzyalani azyalani.+
21 Bulowa bwabo mbondakabona kuti bulaamulandu, ndiyoobubona kuti tabukwe mulandu;+Alimwi Jehova unookkala mu Ziyoni.”+
