1Uthenga wonena za Ninive. Buku la masomphenya a Nahumu wa ku Elikosi.
Mkwiyo wa Yehova pa Ninive
2Yehova ndi Mulungu wansanje
ndiponso wobwezera;
Yehova amabwezera ndipo ndi waukali.
Yehova amabwezera adani ake
ndipo ukali wake umakhala nthawi zonse pa adani akewo.
3Yehova sakwiya msanga koma ndi wa mphamvu yayikulu;
ndipo sadzalola kuti munthu
wolakwa asalangidwe.
Iye amayenda mʼkamvuluvulu ndi mʼnamondwe,
ndipo mitambo ndi fumbi la ku mapazi ake.
4Amalamulira nyanja ndipo imawuma;
amawumitsa mitsinje yonse.
Zomera za ku Basani ndi Karimeli zimawuma
ndipo maluwa a ku Lebanoni amafota.
5Mapiri amagwedera pamaso pake
ndipo zitunda zimasungunuka.
Dziko lapansi limanjenjemera pamaso pake,
dziko lonse ndi zonse zokhala mʼmenemo.
6Ndani angathe kuyima pamaso pake Iye akalusa?
Ndani angapirire mkwiyo wake woopsa?
Ukali wake ukuyaka ngati moto;
matanthwe akunyeka pamaso pake.
7Yehova ndi wabwino,
ndiye kothawirako nthawi ya masautso.
Amasamalira amene amamudalira,
8koma ndi madzi achigumula choopsa
Iye adzawononga adani ake (Ninive);
adzapirikitsira adani ake ku malo a mdima.
9Chiwembu chilichonse chimene akukonzekera kumuchitira Yehova
adzachiwononga kotheratu;
msautso sudzabweranso kachiwiri.
10Iwo adzakodwa mu ziyangoyango za minga
ndipo adzaledzera ndi vinyo wawo;
adzatenthedwa ngati ziputu zowuma.
11Kwa iwe, Ninive, kunachokera munthu wa cholinga choyipa,
wofuna kuchitira Yehova chiwembu,
amene amapereka uphungu woyipa.
12Yehova akuti,
“Ngakhale Asiriyawo ali ndi abwenzi,
kaya iwowo ndi ambiri,
koma adzawonongedwa ndi kutheratu.
Ngakhale ndinakuzunza iwe Yuda,
sindidzakuzunzanso.
13Tsopano ndidzathyola goli lake pa khosi lako
ndipo ndidzadula maunyolo ako.”
14Yehova walamulira za iwe, Ninive kuti,
“Sudzakhala ndi zidzukulu
zimene zidzadziwike ndi dzina lako.
Ndidzawononga zifanizo zosema ndi mafano owumba
amene ali mʼnyumba ya milungu yako.
Ine ndidzakukumbira manda
chifukwa ndiwe woyipitsitsa.”
15Taonani, pa phiripo,
mapazi a munthu amene akubweretsa nkhani yabwino,
amene akulengeza za mtendere!
Inu anthu a ku Yuda, chitani madyerero anu
ndipo kwaniritsani malumbiro anu.
Anthu oyipa sadzakuthiraninso nkhondo;
iwo adzawonongedwa kotheratu.
