Mikeya
1 Mu ntsiku za Yotamu,+ Ahazi+ na Ezekiya,+ amambo a ku Yuda,+ Yahova alonga na Mikeya*+ wa ku Moreseti mʼmasomphenya. Mʼmasomphenya anewa, iye alonga thangwi ya Samariya na Yerusalemu:
2 “Bveserani imwe mbumba zonsene,
Iwe dziko yapantsi na monsene munakhala mwenemo, bveserani mwadidi,
Yahova Mbuya Wankulu Kakamwe mbakutongeni,+
Yahova mbakutongeni kubulukira mu templo yace yakucena.
3 Onani! Yahova ali kubuluka pa mbuto inakhala iye;
Iye anadzatcita mbafamba padzulu pa mapiri a pa dziko yapantsi.
4 Mapiri anadzanyunguluka pantsi pa manyalo ace,+
Pontho magowa anadzagawika pakati,
Anadzanyunguluka ninga upula* wakuikhwa pa moto,
Ninga madzi akuti akukhuthulwa pantsi.
5 Pyenepi pyonsene pinadzacitika thangwi ya kundisandukira kwa Yakobe,
Thangwi ya madawo a nyumba ya Izraeli.+
Mbani adacitisa kuti Yakobe andisandukire?
Si anthu a ku Samariya tayu?+
Pontho mbani adacitisa kuti Yuda akhale na mbuto zaulambiri?+
Kodi si anthu a mu Yerusalemu tayu?
6 Ndinadzacitisa Samariya kukhala nkuku wa madembe,
Mbuto toera kutceka miti ya mauva;
Ndinadzaponya* miyala yace nʼgowa,
Pontho ndinadzasiya pakweca mbuto zidalikhiswa iye.
7 Madzimunthu ace onsene akusemwa anadzagwandwa-gwandwa,+
Pontho miyoni yonsene ikhatambira iye thangwi ya ulukwali ukhacita iye, inadzapiswa na moto.+
Ine ndinadzafudza madzimunthu ace onsene.
Samariya akhala na pinthu pyenepi pyonsene thangwi ya kobiri idagumana iye pakucita ulukwali,
Pontho pinthu pyenepi pinadzakwatwa toera kuenda kalipa napyo maputa a ku mbuto inango.”
8 Na thangwi ineyi, ine ndinadzalira, mbandikhuwa;+
Ndinadzafamba wakusowa ntsapato, pontho cipezipezi.+
Kulira kwanga kunadzakhala ninga kwa anambwa a ntsanga,
Pontho kubulira kwanga kunadzakhala ninga kwa avestruji.
Muliri unoyu wamwazika mpaka pansuwo ukulu wa mbumba yanga, ku Yerusalemu.+
10 “Lekani kulonga pyenepi ku Gati;
Lekani kulira nee pangʼono pene.
Imwe anakhala ku Bheti-Afra,* bulumundani pa pfumbi.
11 Imwe anakhala ku Safiri, ndokoni cipezipezi, pontho mwamanyadzo.
Anthu anakhala ku Zaanana nee abuluka kunja.
Bheti-Ezeli ikhali mbuto yanu yakuthawira, mbwenye cincino kunadzabveka kulira basi.
12 Anthu anakhala ku Maroti akhadikhira pinthu pyadidi,
Mbwenye ndi pinthu pyakuipa pidabuluka kuna Yahova, mbapienda ku nsuwo ukulu wa Yerusalemu.
13 Imwe anthu anakhala ku Lakisi,+ mangirani ngolo zanu mʼmakavalo,
Madawo a mwana wankazi wa Sioni abulukira kuna imwe,
Thangwi adacitisa Izraeli kundisandukira ndimwe.+
14 Ndi thangwi yace pakupangana na Moreseti-Gati, iwe unadzampasa miyoni.
Mbumba ya ku Akizibhi+ yanyengeza amambo a Izraeli.
15 Imwe anthu anakhala ku Maresa,+ ine ndinadzakubwereserani nyamalwa wakuti asatapata pinthu pyonsene.+
Mbiri ya Izraeli inadzafika mpaka ku Adhulamu.+
16 Cingani mipala, pontho cingani tsisi yonsene ya mʼmanungo mwanu thangwi nyatwa zinadzagwera ananu amuna anafuna imwe.
Cingani mipala mbamukhala ninga capungu,
Thangwi iwo aendeswa ku ubitcu, kutali kakamwe na imwe.”+
