Za tsiku limene Chauta adzalange anthu

2Chauta adati,

“Ndidzafafaniziratu

zonse za pa dziko lapansi.”

3“Ndidzafafaniziratu anthu ndi nyama zomwe.

Ndidzaononga mbalame zamumlengalenga

Ndidzagwetsa anthu ochimwa.

Ndidzafafaniziratu mtundu wa anthu

kuti usaonekenso pa dziko lapansi,”

akuterotu Chauta.

4“Ndidzasamula dzanja langa

kuti ndilange anthu a m'dera la Yuda

ndi onse okhala ku Yerusalemu.

Ndidzafafaniziratu zotsalira zonse za

Baala pa malo ano.

Palibe aliyense

5Ndidzafafanizanso amene amaŵerama pa

Ndidzaononganso amene amati kwinaku

akulambira Chauta ndi kulumbira m'dzina lake,

kwinaku nkumalumbira m'dzina la Milikomu.

6Iwowo adafulatira Chauta osamtsatanso,

kapena kumpempha nzeru.”

7Khalani chete pamaso pa Ambuye Chauta!

Tsikutu la Chauta layandikira.

Chauta wakonza kuti

anthu ake adzaperekedwe ngati nsembe,

ndipo wapatuliratu oitanidwa odzapereka nsembeyo.

8Chauta akuti,

“Pa tsiku limenelo la nsembe yanga

ndidzalanga ana a mfumu ndi akalonga ake,

ndi onse otengera zachilendo.

9Pa tsiku limenelo ndidzalanga onse

olumpha pa chiwundo,

ndiponso amene amachita zankhanza ndi

zonyenga zambiri.”

10Chauta akunena kuti,

“Pa tsiku limenelo kulira kwakukulu

kudzamveka ku Chipata cha Msika wa Nsomba;

kulira kwakukuluko kudzamveka ku chigawo

cham'kati cha mzinda wa Yerusalemu;

kudzamvekanso kugunda kuchokera ku mapiri.

11Inu okhala ku chigwa cha mzinda

lirani komvetsa chisoni,

chifukwa amalonda onse atha,

onse ogulitsa siliva aonongeka.

12Pa nthaŵi imeneyo ndidzafufuzafufuza

mu Yerusalemu ndi nyale,

ndipo ndidzaŵalanga anthu

ongokhala khale ngati vinyo wosakhutchumula,

amene mumtima mwao amati,

‘Chauta sadzachitapo chabwino,

kapena kuchitapo choipa.’

13Anthu otereŵa chuma chao adani adzachifunkha,

nyumba zao adzaziphwasula.

Adzamanga nyumba, koma sadzakhalamo.

Adzabzala mphesa, koma sadzamwa vinyo wake.”

14Tsiku lalikulu la Chauta lili pafupi,

layandikira ndipo likudza mofulumira.

Tsikulo kubwera kwake nkopweteka,

ngakhale ankhondo amphamvu omwe akulira pamenepo.

15Tsikulo lidzakhala tsiku la mkwiyo wa Chauta,

tsiku la mavuto ndi mazunzo,

tsiku la kuwonongeka ndi kupasuka kwa zinthu,

tsiku la mdima ndi chisoni,

tsiku la mitambo ndi labii kuda.

16Tsiku limenelo kudzamveka lipenga

ndi kufuula kwankhondo,

kwa asilikali othira nkhondo mizinda ya malinga

ndiponso nsanja zankhondo za Yerusalemu.

17Chauta akuti,

“Chifukwa anthuwo adandichimwira,

ndidzaŵasautsa koopsa,

kotero kuti azidzayenda ngati akhungu.

Magazi ao adzachita kuti mwaa ngati fumbi,

matupi adzangoti vuu, nkumaola ngati ndoŵe.

18Ngakhale siliva wao kapena golide wao

sadzatha kuŵaombola,

tsiku la mkwiyo wa Chautalo.

Ukali wake wotentha ngati moto,

udzapsereza dziko lonse,

ndipo mwadzidzidzi adzathetsa onse okhala m'menemo.”
