Kugwa kwa Ninive
1Wodzathira nkhondo akubwera
kudzalimbana nawe, Ninive.
Tetezani malinga anu,
dziyangʼanani ku msewu,
konzekerani nkhondo,
valani dzilimbe.
2Yehova adzabwezeretsa ulemerero wa Yakobo
ngati ulemerero wa Israeli,
ngakhale anthu owononga anawawononga kotheratu
ndipo anawononganso mpesa wawo.
3Zishango za ankhondo ake ndi zofiira;
asilikali ake avala zovala zofiirira.
Zitsulo za pa magaleta zikunyezimira
tsiku la kukonzekera kwake.
Akuonetsa mikondo ya mkungudza yonoledwa.
4Magaleta akuthamanga mʼmisewu
akungothamangathamanga pa mabwalo.
Akuoneka ngati miyuni yoyaka;
akuthamanga ngati chingʼaningʼani.
5Iye akuyitanitsa asilikali ake wolemekezeka,
koma iwo akubwera napunthwa.
Akuthamangira ku linga la mzinda;
akuyimika chodzitchinjirizira pamalo pake.
6Atsekula zipata zotchinga madzi a mu mtsinje
ndipo nyumba yaufumu yagwa.
7Zatsimikizika kuti mzinda
utengedwa ndi kupita ku ukapolo.
Akapolo aakazi akulira ngati nkhunda
ndipo akudziguguda pachifuwa.
8Ninive ali ngati dziwe,
ndipo madzi ake akutayika.
Iwo akufuwula kuti, “Imani! Imani!”
Koma palibe amene akubwerera.
9Funkhani siliva!
Funkhani golide!
Katundu wake ndi wochuluka kwambiri,
chuma chochokera pa zinthu zake zamtengowapatali!
10Iye wawonongedwa, wafunkhidwa ndipo wavulidwa!
Mitima yasweka, mawondo akuwombana,
anthu akunjenjemera ndipo
nkhope zasandulika ndi mantha.
11Kodi tsopano dzenje la mikango lili kuti,
malo amene mikango inkadyetserako ana ake,
kumene mkango waumuna ndi waukazi unkapitako,
ndipo ana a mkango sankaopa kanthu kalikonse?
12Mkango waumuna unkapha nyama yokwanira ana ake
ndiponso kuphera nyama mkango waukazi,
kudzaza phanga lake ndi zimene wapha
ndiponso dzenje lake ndi nyama imene waphayo.
13Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti,
“Ine ndikutsutsana nawe.
Ndidzatentha magaleta ako mpaka utsi tolotolo,
ndipo lupanga lidzapha mikango yako yayingʼono;
sindidzakusiyira chilichonse choti udye pa dziko lapansi.
Mawu a amithenga anu sadzamvekanso.”
Okugwa kwa Nineeve
12:1 Yer 51:20Nineeve, olumbiddwa omulabe;

ne boonoona emizabbibu gyabwe.
32:3 Ez 23:14-15Engabo z’eggye erikutabadde zonna myufu

9Ffeeza yaakyo temugirekaawo,

n’enkazi n’ezittira eyaazo,
n’ejjuza empuku n’omuyiggo,
ne mu bisulo ne mujjula ennyama.

n’ekitala kirizikiriza empologoma zo ento.
Era tolifuna munyago mulala nate ku nsi,
