2 ¹M'mwezi wa Nisani, m'chaka cha makumi awiri cha ufumu wa mfumu Aritasasita, vinyo anali patsogolo pake; ndinautenga, naupereka kwa mfumuyo—popeza ndinali ndisanakhalepo wachisoni pamaso pake kale. ^a a v1 Nisani unali mwezi woyamba wa chaka cha Chihebri, womwe umagwera kuchiyambi kwa nyengo ya masika (pafupifupi Marichi–Epulo). ²Mfumu inandifunsa, nati, “Chifukwa chiyani nkhope yako ili yachisoni, pamene iwe sudwala? Ichi sichingakhale chinthu china, koma mtima wachisoni.” Pamenepo ndinachita mantha kwambiri.

³Ndinati kwa mfumu, “Mfumu ikhale ndi moyo muyaya! Chifukwa chiyani nkhope yanga isakhale yachisoni, pamene mzinda, womwe uli malo a manda a makolo anga, uli bwinja, ndipo zipata zake zatenthedwa ndi moto?”

⁴Mfumu inandifunsa, nati, “Ukupempha chiyani?” Pamenepo ndinapemphera kwa Atate wathu wa Kumwamba, ⁵ndipo ndinati kwa mfumu, “Ngati chikukondweretsani inu mfumu, ndipo ngati kapolo wanu wapeza chisomo pamaso panu, munditumize ku Yuda, ku mzinda wa manda a makolo anga, kuti ndikaumangenso.”

⁶Mfumu, pamene mfumukazi inakhala pambali pake, inandifunsa, nati, “Kodi ulendo wako udzatenga nthawi yaitali bwanji, ndipo udzabwerera liti?” Chinakondweretsa mfumu kunditumiza, choncho ndinaipatsa nthawi.

⁷Ndinatinso kwa mfumu, “Ngati chikukondweretsani inu mfumu, mundipatse makalata opita kwa abwanamkubwa a chigawo cha Patsidya pa Mtsinje, kuti andilole kuwoloka mpaka ndikafike ku Yuda. ⁸Komanso kalata yopita kwa Asafu, woyang'anira nkhalango ya mfumu, kuti andipatse matabwa a mitanda ya zipata za linga lomwe lili pafupi ndi Nyumba ya Mulungu, ndi khoma la mzinda, ndi nyumba imene ndidzakhalamo.” Mfumu inandipatsa zimene ndinapempha, pakuti dzanja labwino la Atate wanga linali pa ine.

⁹Ndinapita kwa abwanamkubwa a chigawo cha Patsidya pa Mtsinje, ndipo ndinawapatsa makalata a mfumu. Mfumu inali itatumiza nawo akulu a nkhondo ndi okwera pa akavalo pamodzi ndi ine. ¹⁰Pamene Sanibalati Mhoroni ndi Tobiya kapitawo Mwamoni anamva zimenezi, anakhumudwa kwambiri kuti munthu wina wabwera kudzafunafuna zabwino za anthu a Isiraeli.

Kuyenda Pa Mipanda Yosweka Usiku

¹¹Choncho ndinafika ku Yerusalemu, ndipo ndinakhala kumeneko masiku atatu. ¹²Ndinadzuka usiku pamodzi ndi anthu owerengeka. Sindinawuze aliyense zimene Atate wanga anaika mu mtima mwanga kuti ndichite ku Yerusalemu. Panalibe nyama ina pamodzi ndi ine koma yokhayo imene ndinakwera. ¹³Usiku ndinatuluka kudzera pa Chipata cha Chigwa, kuloza ku Chitsime cha Nkhandwe, mpaka ku Chipata cha Zinyalala, ndikuyang'anitsitsa mipanda yosweka ya Yerusalemu ndi zipata zake zotenthedwa. ¹⁴Ndinapitirira ku Chipata cha Kasupe ndi ku Dziwe la Mfumu, koma panalibe malo oti nyama imene ndinakwera idutsemo. ¹⁵Usiku ndinakwera kudzera m'chigwa, ndikuyang'anitsitsa khoma, natembenuka, nalowa pa Chipata cha Chigwa, nabwerera. ¹⁶Akuluakulu sanadziwe kumene ndinapita kapena zimene ndinkachita; pakuti ndinali ndisanawuze Ayuda, ngakhale ansembe, ngakhale anthu olemekezeka, ngakhale akuluakulu, kapena ena onse amene adzagwira ntchitoyo. ¹⁷Pamenepo ndinati, “Mukuona mavuto athu: Yerusalemu uli bwinja, zipata zake zili zotenthedwa. Bwerani, timange khoma la Yerusalemu, kuti tisakhalenso chinthu chonyozeka.” ¹⁸Ndinawauza mmene dzanja labwino la Atate wanga linalili pa ine, ndi zimene mfumu inanena. Iwo anati, “Tiyeni tinyamuke, timange.” Choncho analimbitsa manja awo kuti agwire ntchito yabwinoyi.

¹⁹Pamene Sanibalati Mhoroni, ndi Tobiya kapitawo Mwamoni, ndi Gesemu Mwarabu anamva, anatinyoza ndi kutinyogodola, nati, “Kodi mukuchita chiyani ichi? Kodi mukuwukira mfumu?”

²⁰Ndinayankha nati, “Atate wathu wa Kumwamba adzatipatsa kupambana. Ife atumiki ake tidzayamba kumanga, koma inu mulibe gawo, kapena ufulu, kapena mbiri mu Yerusalemu.”
