Wodekha Pokwiya, Wamphamvu Zambiri
3Atate wathu ndi wodekha pokwiya ndiponso wamphamvu zambiri, ndipo sadzalola olakwa kuti akhale osalangidwa. Njira yake ili mu kamvuluvulu ndi mphepo yamkuntho, ndipo mitambo ndi fumbi la pansi pa mapazi ake. 4Iye amadzudzula nyanja naiphwetsa; amaumitsa mitsinje yonse. Basani ndi Karimeli zauma, ndipo duwa la Lebanoni lafota. 5Mapiri amagwedezeka pamaso pake, ndipo zitunda zimasungunuka. Dziko lapansi limanjenjemera pamaso pake— dziko lonse ndi onse okhalamo. 6Ndani angathe kuima pamaso pa mkwiyo wake? Ndani angapirire kutentha kwa ukali wake? Ukali wake umakhuthuka ngati moto, ndipo matanthwe amaswekasweka pamaso pake. 7Atate wathu ndi wabwino, linga pa tsiku la mavuto; amawadziwa iwo amene amathawira kwa Iye. 8Koma ndi chigumula champhamvu adzathetseratu malo ake, ndipo adzathamangitsira adani ake mu mdima. 9Mukukonza chiwembu chanji pa Atate wathu? Iye adzachithetseratu; mavuto sadzauka kachiwiri. 10Pakuti ngakhale ali omangika ngati minga ndi onyowa ndi mowa wawo, adzanyeketedwa ngati mapesi owuma. 11Kwa iwe, Nineve, kunachokera munthu wokonza zoipa kutsutsana ndi Atate wathu, phungu wa zoipa.
12Atate wathu akuti: Ngakhale ali amphamvu ndi ochuluka, adzadulidwa ndipo adzatheratu. Ngakhale ndinakuzunza, sindidzakuzunzanso. 13Tsopano ndidzathyola goli lake pa khosi lako, ndipo ndidzadula maunyolo ako.
14Atate wathu walamula za iwe, Nineve: dzina lako silidzakhala ndi mbewu. Ndidzadula fano losema ndi fano lowumba m'nyumba ya milungu yako. Ndidzakukonzera manda ako—pakuti ndiwe wonyozeka.
15Taonani! Kumeneko pa mapiri, mapazi a munthu wobweretsa uthenga wabwino, wolalikira mtendere! Chita zikondwerero zako, Yuda; kwaniritsa malumbiro ako. Pakuti woipa sadzakuthiranso nkhondo; achotsedwa kotheratu. b b v15 Paulo anagwira mawu a vesi ili ponena za atumwi olalikira Yesu — “Ndi okongola bwanji mapazi a amene amalalikira uthenga wabwino!” (Aroma 10:15). Uthenga wabwino wa mtendere umene Nahumu ananena pambuyo pa kugonjetsedwa kwa Asiriya ukuyimira uthenga wabwino wa mtendere wa mwa Yesu.
