Yoeli 3:1-21
3 “Onani! Mu ntsiku zenezi na mu ndzidzi unoyu,Unafuna ine kusudzula ale adaendeswa ku ubitcu mbandiabweresa mu Yuda na mu Yerusalemu,+
2 Ine ndinadzagumanyambo madzindza onsene a anthuPontho ndinadzaabweresa nʼGowa ya Yosafate.*
Penepo ine ndinadzaatonga,+Thangwi pidacita iwo kuna mbumba yanga na unthaka wanga Izraeli,Thangwi iwo abalalisa mbumba yanga pakati pa madzindza,Pontho iwo akhadagawana dziko yanga.+
3 Thangwi iwo acita pyakulotera toera kugawana mbumba yanga;+Iwo akhagulisa mwana wamamuna toera kulipa nkazi wauputa,Pontho akhagulisa mwana wankazi toera kugula vinyu mbamwa.
4 Iwe Tiro, Sidhoni na pisa pyonsene pya ku Filistiya,Musafunanji kuna ine?
Pana cakuipa cidakucitirani ine toera mundibwezere?
Khala imwe mukundibwezera,Ine ndinadzakubwezeranimbo mwakucimbiza kakamwe mwakubverana na pinthu pidandicitira imwe.+
5 Nakuti imwe mwakwata parata yanga na ouro yanga,+Pontho mwakwata pinthu pyanga pyakufunika kakamwe mbamupiikha mʼmatemplo anu;
6 Pontho mwakwata anthu a ku Yuda na a ku Yerusalemu mbamuagulisa kuna Agerego,+Toera kuaendesa kutali kakamwe na dziko yawo;
7 Cincino ine ndiri kucitisa mbumba yanga toera ibuluke ku mbuto idaagulisa imwe,+Pontho ine ndinadzakubwezerani mwakubverana na pidacita imwe.
8 Ine ndinadzapereka* ananu amuna na ananu akazi mʼmanja mwa mbumba ya ku Yuda,+Pontho iwo anadzaaperekambo* mʼmanja mwa amuna a ku Sabha, dzindza yakutali kakamwe;Thangwi adalonga pyenepi ndine Yahova.
9 Dziwisani ipi pakati pa madzindza:+
Khunganyikani* toera kumenya nkhondo! Cemeresani amuna amphambvu!
Anyankhondo onsene mbafendedzere cifupi, mbaende patsogolo!+
10 Fulani* pyakulima napyo pyanu toera pikhale masupada, pontho fulani pyakusadza* napyo pyanu toera pikhale madipa.
Wakusowa mphambvu mbalonge: “Ndine wamphambvu.”
11 Imwe madzindza onsene anakhala dhuzi, gumanyikanani, bwerani, pontho phedzanani!’”+
Imwe Yahova citisani kuti anyankhondo anu amphambvu abwere pa mbuto ineyi.
12 Imwe anthu a madzindza anango, lamukani, pontho bwerani ku Gowa ya Yosafate;Thangwi ine ndinadzakhala kweneko toera kutonga madzindza onsene anakhala cifupi.+
13 Pitisani sikeya thangwi wafika ndzidzi wakubvuna.
Bwerani mudzaponde-ponde thangwi mbuto yakukamulira mauva yadzala.+
Mbuto inagwera vinyu yakukamulwa yadzala, pontho ikutayikira, thangwi madawo a madzindza anewa ndi mazinji kakamwe.
14 Mwinji na mwinji wa anthu uli pa gowa yakutongera miseru,Thangwi ntsiku ya Yahova iri dhuzi na pa gowa yakutongera miseru.+
15 Dzuwa na mwezi pinadzasiya kugaka,Pontho nyenyezi nee zinadzayetimirabve.
16 Yahova anadzakhuwa ninga nkhalamu mu Sioni,Iye anadzagaluza fala yace mu Yerusalemu.
Kudzulu na dziko yapantsi pinadzatekenyeka;Mbwenye Yahova anadzakhala mbuto yakuthawira kuna mbumba yace,+Mbuto yacitsidzikizo cakuwanga kuna mbumba ya Izraeli.
17 Pontho imwe munadzadziwa kuti ine ndine Yahova Mulungu wanu anakhala mu Sioni, phiri yanga yakucena.+
Yerusalemu inadzakhala mbuto yakucena,+Pontho anthu a madzindza anango nee anadzapitabve na mwenemo.+
18 Pa ntsiku ineyi, mʼmapiri munadzadjodja vinyu yakutapira,+Nthunda zinadzawewa nkaka,Pontho mikulo yonsene ya ku Yuda inadzawewa madzi.
Panyumba ya Yahova panadzabuluka mphuno ya madzi,+Pontho madzi anewa anadzathirira Gowa* ya Miti ya Mikexa.
19 Mbwenye Ejitu anadzakhala madembe,+Pontho Edhomi anadzakhala thando yakusowa pinthu,+Thangwi ya uphanga unacitirwa mbumba ya Yuda,+Akuti mu dziko yawo apha anthu akusowa mulando.+
20 Mbwenye mu Yuda ndzidzi onsene munadzakhala anthu,Pontho mu Yerusalemu munadzakhala anthu mu ubalwi na ubalwi.+
21 Ine ndinadzabulusa mulando wa ciropa ukhali na iwo;+Pontho ine Yahova ndinadzakhala mu Sioni.”+
