Yoeli 1:1-20
1 Yahova apanga Yoeli* mwana wa Petuweli toera kulonga mafala awa:
2 “Bveserani ipi, imwe atsogoleri a mbumba,Pontho bveserani mwadidi, imwe monsene munakhala mu dziko ineyi.*
Kodi pinthu ninga pyenepi, pikhadacitika kale mu ntsiku zanuPeno mu ntsiku za ambuyanu?+
3 Pangani pyenepi ananu,Ananu asafunikambo kulonga pyenepi kuna anawo,Pontho anawo asafunikambo kupanga ubalwi unafuna kudza.
4 Pinthu pidasiyiwa na nsoka wakutoma wa anyadzombe,* pinadzafudzwa na nsoka waciwiri wa anyadzombe akumburuka;+Pinthu pinafuna kudzasiyiwa na anyadzombe akumburuka, pinadzadyiwa na anyadzombe angʼono akusowa manthenga;Pinthu pinafuna kudzasiyiwa na anyadzombe angʼono akusowa manthenga, pinadzadyiwa na anyadzombe anango.+
5 Lamukani, imwe anyakuledzera,+ pontho lirani!
Khuwani, imwe monsene munamwa vinyu,Thangwi vinyu yakutapira yabuluswa pamulomo panu.+
6 Thangwi dzindza yabwera mu dziko yanga, iyo ndi yamphambvu, pontho yakukhonda kulengeseka.+
Madzino awo ndi ninga a nkhalamu,+ pontho ntsaya zawo ndi ninga za nkhalamu.
7 Iwo asakaza muti wanga wa mauva, pontho acinja nsambvu wanga kudza citca,Iwo abulusa makoko a miti ineyi mbaataya kutali,Nthawi zace mbizisala zakusowa pinthu.
8 Lirani mbumba yanga, ninga pinacita mwali* wakuti abvala sakhaMu ndzidzi unalira iye mamuna* wakuti akhafuna kunsemba.
9 Nkhabebve anabweresa ntsembe za pyakudya+ na ntsembe za pyakumwa+ panyumba ya Yahova;Anyantsembe, atumiki a Yahova, ali kulira.
10 Munda wamala fudzwa, mataka ali kulira;+Mbeu zamala fudzwa, nkhabebve vinyu ipswa, pontho mafuta amala.+
11 Anyakulima ali na manyadzo, anyakutsalakana minda ya mauva ali kulira,Thangwi ya tirigu na sevadha;Thangwi mʼmunda nkhabemobve pinthu toera kubvuna.
12 Muti wa mauva wauma,Muti wa nsambvu wabunyala.
Muti wa romaa, wa ncindu na wa masau,Miti yonsene ya mʼmunda yamala kuuma;+Thangwi kutsandzaya pakati pa mbumba kwadzakhala kutsukwala.
13 Imwe anyantsembe, bvalani* masakha mbamutsukwala;*Imwe anatumikira pa guwa ya ntsembe, lirani.+
Imwe atumiki a Mulungu wanga, pitani mu templo, pontho malani masiku amumphu uku mbamudabvala masakha;Thangwi nkhabebve anabweresa ntsembe za pyakudya+ na ntsembe za pyakumwa+ panyumba ya Mulungu wanu.
14 Khunganyikani* toera mucite jejuu; dziwisani pya nsonkhano ukulu.+
Cemeresani atsogoleri a mbumba, pabodzi na anthu onsene anakhala mu dziko ineyi,Toera abwere panyumba ya Yahova Mulungu wanu,+ mbakhuwa toera kuphemba ciphedzo ca Yahova.
15 Mama ine pano, ntsiku ikufika!
Ntsiku ya Yahova iri dhuzi,+Pontho iyo inadzafika ninga ntsiku yakufudza ya Mulungu Wamphambvu Zonsene!
16 Kodi ife nee takwatirwa cakudya mbatikaona,Pontho nee tabulusirwa kutsandzaya na kukomerwa nʼnyumba ya Mulungu wathu?
17 Mbeu* zafera pantsi,*Mbuto zakukoyera pinthu zasala madembe.
Pikwa pyamala kufudzwa, thangwi mbeu zauma.
18 Ngakhale pifuyo pisabulira!
Nkumbi wa ngʼombe usandzendza-ndzendza, thangwi iwo nkhabe thongwe toera kudya!
Pontho mikumbi ya mabira isathabuka thangwi ya madawo a mbumba.
19 Yahova, ine ndinadzakucemerani;+Moto wamala kupisa thongwe ya nʼthando,Pontho malirimi a moto amala kupisa miti yonsene ya mʼmunda.
20 Ngakhale pinyama pya ntsanga, pisadikhira ciphedzo canu,Thangwi mikulo ya madzi yamala kuuma,Pontho moto wamala kupisa thongwe ya nʼthando.”
