Mwana Wamkazi Wosiidwa Yekha
Ndakatulo zisanu zachisoni pa kuwonongedwa kwa Yerusalemu: chisoni chenicheni, chosabisa kanthu. Ndipo pakatikati penipeni, pakati pa phulusa, pamatuluka chimodzi mwa zivomerezo za chiyembekezo zamphamvu kwambiri m'Malemba onse.
1 1Haa, mzinda wakhala wokhawokha, umene kale unali wodzala ndi anthu! Wasanduka ngati mkazi wamasiye, iye amene anali wamkulu pakati pa mitundu ya anthu. Iye amene anali mwana wamfumu wamkazi pakati pa zigawo wasanduka kapolo wogwira ntchito mokakamiza. a a v1 Buku la Maliro machaputala 1, 2, ndi 4 ndi akrositiki — vesi lililonse limayamba ndi chilembo chotsatira cha zilembo za Chihebri, ‘kuyambira A mpaka Z’ kwathunthu kwa chisoni; chaputala 3 chimachulukitsa kamangidwe aka katatu. Kamangidweka kamatayika mu Chingerezi, koma maonekedwe a chisoniwo asungidwa. 2Amalira mwachisoni usiku, misozi ili pa masaya ake. Pakati pa okondedwa ake onse alibe wina womtonthoza; abwenzi ake onse amupandukira, asanduka adani ake. 3Yuda wapita ku ukapolo ali pansi pa masautso ndi ukapolo wolemetsa; akhala pakati pa mitundu ya anthu koma sapeza malo opumira. Onse omthamangitsa amupeza pakati pa mavuto ake. 4Misewu yopita ku Ziyoni ikulira, chifukwa palibe wobwera ku madyerero oikika. Zipata zake zonse zasanduka bwinja, ansembe ake akubuula, atsikana ake ali ndi chisoni, ndipo iye mwini ali mu ululu wowawa. 5Adani ake asanduka ambuye ake, adani ake ali pa mtendere, pakuti Atate wathu wamuzunza chifukwa cha kupanduka kwake kwambiri. Ana ake achoka, atengedwa ukapolo pamaso pa mdani. b b v5 Buku la Maliro limagwirizanitsa pamodzi zoonadi ziwiri zimene mtima umakana kuzilumikiza: Atate wathu amalanga ana ake, ndipo chilango chake sichikhala mau omaliza. Buku lomwelo limati Iye ‘sadzataya mpaka muyaya; ngakhale amabweretsa chisoni, adzachita chifundo’ (Maliro 3:31-32). 6Ulemerero wake wonse wachoka pa mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni. Akalonga ake asanduka ngati mbawala zimene sizipeza msipu; akuthawa mopanda mphamvu pamaso pa omwe akuwathamangitsa. 7M'masiku a masautso ake ndi kuyendayenda kwake, Yerusalemu akukumbukira zinthu zonse zamtengo wapatali zimene zinali zake kuyambira masiku akale. Pamene anthu ake anagwa m'manja mwa mdani, popanda wothandiza iye, adani anayang'ana naseka kugwa kwake. 8Yerusalemu wachimwa kwambiri; chifukwa chake wasanduka chinthu chonyozedwa. Onse amene anamulemekeza amunyoza iye, pakuti aona umaliseche wake; iye mwini akubuula nabwerera m'mbuyo. 9Zodetsa zake zinamamatira pa mikanjo yake; sanaganizire za tsogolo lake. Kugwa kwake nkodabwitsa, popanda womtonthoza iye. “Yang'anani, Atate wanga, masautso anga, pakuti mdani wapambana!” c c v9 ‘Mikanjo’ yake ndi m'mphepete ndi makupindiko a mkanjo wake — kudetsedwa kwa mwambo kumene kunamamatira pamenepo kunkaoneka poyera, kusonyeza kuti wadetsedwa poyera popanda kuyesa kubisa. 10Mdani watambasula dzanja lake pa zinthu zake zonse zamtengo wapatali; waona mitundu ya anthu ikulowa m'malo ake opatulika—amene Inu munawaletsa kulowa mu msonkhano wanu. 11Anthu ake onse akubuula pamene akufunafuna chakudya; akusinthanitsa chuma chawo ndi chakudya kuti akhalebe ndi moyo. “Yang'anani, Atate wanga, ndipo onani, pakuti ndasanduka wonyozeka. 12Kodi ichi nchopanda kanthu kwa inu, inu nonse odutsa pano? Yang'anani ndipo onani ngati pali chisoni chofanana ndi chisoni changa, chimene chinabwera pa ine, chimene Atate wathu anachigwetsa pa tsiku la mkwiyo wake woopsa. 13Kuchokera kumwamba anatumiza moto m'mafupa anga, ndipo unawagonjetsa. Anatchera ukonde kumapazi anga nandibwezera m'mbuyo; wandisiya ndili bwinja, wotopa tsiku lonse. 14Kupanduka kwanga kunamangidwa kukhala goli; kolukidwa pamodzi ndi dzanja lake, kunayikidwa pa khosi langa, ndipo anachepetsa mphamvu zanga. Ambuye Atate anandipereka kwa amene sindingathe kuwalimbana nawo. 15Ambuye Atate wawakana anthu amphamvu onse a pakati panga; anayitanitsa msonkhano kulimbana ndi ine kuti aphwanye anyamata anga. Ambuye Atate waponda mwana wamkazi namwali wa Yuda ngati mu mopresero wa vinyo. d d v15 Mau akuti ‘msonkhano’ ndi omwewo omwe amagwiritsidwa ntchito pa msonkhano wa madyerero opatulika — kugwiritsidwa ntchito kwake pano pa gulu lankhondo lowononga kumanyamula chipongwe chowawa, chadala. 16Chifukwa cha zinthu izi ndikulira; maso anga, maso anga akuthothola misozi, pakuti mtonthozi amene akanatsitsimutsa mzimu wanga ali kutali ndi ine. Ana anga asanduka bwinja, pakuti mdani wapambana.” 17Ziyoni watambasula manja ake, koma palibe womtonthoza iye. Atate wathu walamula kuti anansi a Yakobo asanduke adani ake; Yerusalemu wasanduka chinthu chonyansa pakati pawo. 18Atate wathu ndi wolungama, pakuti ndapandukira mau ake. Imvani, inu mitundu yonse ya anthu, ndipo yang'anani masautso anga; atsikana anga ndi anyamata anga apita ku ukapolo. 19Ndinaitana okondedwa anga, koma anandinyenga. Ansembe anga ndi akulu anga anafera mu mzinda pamene amafunafuna chakudya kuti akhalebe ndi moyo. 20Yang'anani, Atate wanga, pakuti ndili pa mavuto; m'mimba mwanga mukuwawa, mtima wanga wagubuduka mkati mwanga, pakuti ndakhala wopanduka kwambiri. Mumsewu lupanga likupha anthu; m'nyumba muli ngati imfa. 21Amva kubuula kwanga, popanda wonditonthoza ine. Adani anga onse amva za mavuto anga; akukondwa kuti Inu mwachita zimenezi. Bweretsani tsiku limene mwalilengeza, kuti iwo asanduke ngati ine. 22Zoyipa zawo zonse zibwere pamaso panu, ndipo muwachitire iwo monga mwandichitira ine chifukwa cha kupanduka kwanga konse; pakuti kubuula kwanga nkochuluka, ndipo mtima wanga walefuka.
