Sonkhanani Mkuntho Usanafike
Kuitana ndi kusonkhana mkwiyo wa Atate wathu ndi lamulo lake zisanafike, ndipo chiyembekezo chokhacho choperekedwa ndi 'kapena' — funafunani kudzichepetsa, ndipo mwina mudzabisidwa. Kenako mitundu yozungulira ikutchulidwa umodzi ndi umodzi, kumaliza ndi Ninive wonyada, wodzidalira, wosiyidwa bwinja.
2 1Sonkhanani pamodzi, dziunjikeni, inu mtundu wopanda manyazi, 2chigamulo chisanabereke—tsiku likudutsa ngati mankhusu—mkwiyo woyaka wa Atate wathu usanafike pa inu, tsiku la mkwiyo wa Atate wathu lisanafike pa inu. 3Funafunani Atate wathu, inu nonse odzichepetsa a m'dziko, amene mumachita chiweruzo chake; funafunani chilungamo, funafunani kudzichepetsa. Mwina mudzabisidwa pa tsiku la mkwiyo wa Atate wathu. 4Pakuti Gaza adzasiyidwa, ndipo Asikeloni adzakhala bwinja; Asidodi adzathamangitsidwa masana, ndipo Ekroni adzazulidwa. 5Tsoka kwa inu amene mumakhala m'mbali mwa nyanja, mtundu wa Akereti! Mawu a Atate wathu akutsutsana ndi inu, Kanaani, dziko la Afilisti: “Ndidzawononga inu, mpaka palibe wokhalamo wotsala.” 6Ndipo gombe la nyanja lidzakhala malo a msipu, ndi madambo a abusa ndi makola a ziweto. 7Gombe lidzakhala la otsalira a nyumba ya Yuda; kumeneko adzadyetsera, ndipo m'nyumba za Asikeloni adzagona madzulo. Pakuti Atate wathu adzawayang'anira ndi kuwabwezeretsera zinthu zawo. 8Ndamva chipongwe cha Moabu ndi mnyozo wa Aamoni, zimene anatonza nazo anthu anga ndi kudzikuza pa dziko lawo.
9Choncho, pali Ine wamoyo, ati Atate wa makamu a Kumwamba, Atate wathu wa Israeli, Moabu adzakhala ngati Sodomu, ndipo Aamoni ngati Gomora— dziko la minga ndi maenje a mchere, bwinja mpaka muyaya. Otsala a anthu anga adzafunkha iwo, ndipo opulumuka a mtundu wanga adzalandira dziko lawo. 10“Izi ndi zimene adzalandira chifukwa cha kunyada kwawo, chifukwa anachita chipongwe ndi kudzikuza kutsutsana ndi anthu a Atate wa makamu a Kumwamba. 11Atate wathu adzakhala woopsa kwa iwo, pakuti adzawondetsa milungu yonse ya dziko lapansi; ndipo magombe onse a mitundu ya anthu adzamugwadira, aliyense kuchokera pa malo ake.”
12Inu Akusi, inunso mudzaphedwa ndi lupanga langa.
13Ndipo adzatambasula dzanja lake kutsutsana ndi kumpoto, ndi kuwononga Asiriya, ndipo adzasandutsa Nineve bwinja, wowuma ngati chipululu. 14Ziweto zidzagona pakati pake, nyama zonse zakutchire za mitundumitundu; kadzidzi ndi nungu zidzakhala pamwamba pa nsanamira zake. Mawu adzayimba m'mazenera, bwinja pa chiwundo, pakuti ntchito ya mkungudza yavundukulidwa. 15Uwu ndi mzinda wosasamala umene unakhala mwa chitetezo, umene unati mu mtima mwake, “Ndine Ine, ndipo palibe wina koma Ine.” Taonani mmene wasandukira bwinja, phanga la nyama zakutchire! Aliyense wodutsa pafupi naye amaliza likhweru ndi kugwedeza nkhonya yake.
