²“Ndidzasesa kotheratu zinthu zonse pa dziko lapansi,” ati Atate wathu.

Kupatuka kwa Yuda kwa Nthawi Yaitali

³“Ndidzasesa munthu ndi nyama; ndidzasesa mbalame za mlengalenga ndi nsomba za m'nyanja, ndi zinyalala za mafano pamodzi ndi oyipa. Ndidzachotsa anthu pa dziko lapansi,” ati Atate wathu. ⁴“Ndidzatambasula dzanja langa pa Yuda ndi pa onse okhala mu Yerusalemu. Ndidzachotsa pa malo ano zotsalira zonse za Baala, dzina la ansembe achikunja pamodzi ndi ansembe, ⁵amene amagwada pa madenga kulambira gulu la nyenyezi, amene amagwada nalumbira mwa Atate wathu, komanso amalumbira mwa Milkomu, ^a a v5 Milkomu anali mulungu wamkulu wa Aamoni; dzina lenilenilo lili ndi tanthauzo la ufumu. ⁶ndi amene amabwerera m'mbuyo kuleka kutsatira Atate wathu, amene safunafuna Atate wathu kapena kumufunsa Iye.”

⁷Khalani chete pamaso pa Atate Wamphamvuzonse! Pakuti tsiku la Atate wathu layandikira; Iye wakonza nsembe ndipo wayeretsa oitanidwa ake. ^b b v7 Tsiku la Atate wathu — tsiku limene Iye mwini adzachitapo kanthu. FHB amamutchula Iye pano kuti owerenga akumane ndi Atate amene amaweruza, osati mulungu wa kutali. Atate yemweyo amene amalenga ndi kupulumutsa amabweretsa nyengo ku mapeto ake oikidwiratu a chiweruzo.

⁸“Pa tsiku la nsembe ya Atate wathu ndidzalanga akuluakulu ndi ana a mfumu, ndi onse amene amavala zovala zachilendo. ⁹Pa tsiku limenelo ndidzalanga onse amene amalumphira pa chiwundo, amene amadzaza nyumba ya mbuye wawo ndi chiwawa ndi chinyengo. ^c c v9 Kulumphira pa chiwundo kunali chikhulupiriro chachikunja, mwina chogwirizana ndi mchitidwe wa Afilisti pa kachisi wa Dagoni (onani 1 Samueli 5:5). ¹⁰Pa tsiku limenelo,” ati Atate wathu, “kudzamveka kulira kuchokera pa Chipata cha Nsomba, kubuma kuchokera ku Chigawo Chachiwiri, ndi phokoso lalikulu kuchokera ku mapiri. ¹¹Lirani, inu okhala mu Mtondo! Pakuti amalonda onse afafanizidwa; onse amene amayeza siliva achotsedwa.” ^d d v11 Mtondo (m'Chihebri Maketeshi) unali chigawo chogulitsira chomwe chinali ngati dzenje mu Yerusalemu, chotchedwa chotero chifukwa cha mawonekedwe ake ngati mbale.

¹²“Panthawi imeneyo ndidzafufuza Yerusalemu ndi nyale, ndipo ndidzalanga anthu amene akhazikika ngati vinyo pa masese ake, amene amanena mu mitima yawo kuti, ‘Mulungu sadzachita kanthu, ngakhale chabwino ngakhale choipa.’ ^e e v12 Vinyo amene wasiyidwa osasunthika pa masese ake umakhala wokhuthala ndi wosasa — chithunzi cha anthu okhazikika ndi omasuka kwambiri kotero kuti sayembekezera kanthu kuchokera kwa Atate wathu.

¹³Chuma chawo chidzafunkhidwa, ndipo nyumba zawo zidzasakazidwa. Adzamanga nyumba koma sadzakhalamo; adzadzala minda ya mpesa koma sadzamwa vinyo wake.”

¹⁴Tsiku lalikulu la Atate wathu layandikira—layandikira ndipo likubwera mofulumira. Mverani! Tsiku la Atate wathu ndi lowawa; pamenepo wankhondo wamphamvu amalira mokweza. ¹⁵Tsiku limenelo ndi tsiku la mkwiyo, tsiku la nkhawa ndi chisautso, tsiku la bwinja ndi chiwonongeko, tsiku la mdima ndi chisisira, tsiku la mitambo ndi mdima wandiweyani, ¹⁶tsiku la kulira kwa lipenga ndi mfuu yankhondo kulimbana ndi mizinda yotetezedwa ndi kulimbana ndi nsanja zazitali za pangodya.

¹⁷“Ndidzabweretsa masautso aakulu pa anthu kotero kuti adzambwembweta ngati akhungu, chifukwa anachimwira Atate wathu. Mwazi wawo udzatsanulidwa ngati fumbi, ndipo mnofu wawo ngati ndowe. ¹⁸Siliva wawo kapena golide wawo sizingathe kuwapulumutsa pa tsiku la mkwiyo wa Atate wathu. Mu moto wa nsanje yake dziko lonse lapansi lidzatenthedwa, pakuti Iye adzabweretsa mapeto mwadzidzidzi pa onse okhala pa dziko lapansi.”
