Sofoniya 3:1-20
3 Dzedze kuna nzinda wakukhonda bvera, wakupswipa na wakuponderera anango!+
2 Anthu a mu nzinda unoyu nee abvera;+ nee atawira kusandikwa.+
Nee akhulupira Yahova;+ pontho nee afendedzera Mulungu wawo.+
3 Atsogoleri a mu nzinda unoyu ndi ninga nkhalamu zakuti zikulira.+
Anyakutonga miseru awo ndi ninga mibindzi yakuti isasodza namasiku;Iwo nkhabe siya nee gogodo ibodzi toera kudya mangwana mwace.
4 Aprofeta ace ndi akudzikuza na aumpfakafaka.+
Anyantsembe ace apswipisa pinthu pyakucena;+Iwo nkhabe kubvera mwambo.+
5 Yahova ndi wakulungama, pontho ali pakati pa anthu a mu nzinda unoyu;+ iye nkhabe cita pinthu pyakuipa.
Ntsiku zonsene namacibese iye asadziwisa mitemo yace,+Iye nkhabe phonya, asakhala ninga ceza ca dzuwa.
Mbwenye nyakucita pyakuipa nkhabe kukhala na manyadzo.+
6 “Ine ndafudza madzindza, nyumba zawo za ndzulu zinakhala pankhomo zafudzwa.
Ndafudza miseu yawo, pontho nkhabebve anapita na mʼmiseu ineyi.
Mizinda yawo yafudzwa mbisala yakusowa anthu.+
7 Ine ndapanga nzinda: ‘Mwandimomwene iwe unadzandigopa mbutawira kusandikwa,’+
Toera ndikhonde kuufudza* thangwi ya pyenepi pyonsene,+Pontho toera mbuto inakhala iwo ikhonde kufudzwa.
Mbwenye iwe ukhafuna kakamwe kucita pyakuipa.+
8 ‘Natenepa, pitirizani kundidikhira,’+ alonga Yahova,‘Mpaka ntsiku inafuna kudzalamuka ine toera kutapata,*Thangwi cifuno canga ndi kugumanya madzindza na maumambo,Toera ndiakhuthulire kuipirwa kwanga, ukali wanga onsene;+Thangwi kuipirwa kwanga kwakhala ninga moto wakuti unadzapisa dziko yonsene yapantsi.+
9 Pa ndzidzi unoyu ndinadzacinja cilongero ca mbumba zonsene kudza cilongero cakucena,Toera iwo onsene asimbe dzina ya Yahova,Mbakwanisa kuntumikira phewa na phewa.’*+
10 Ale anacita maphembero akudembetera kuna ine, mwana wankazi wa mbumba yanga idabalaliswa,Anadzandibweresera miyoni kubulukira kucisa ca mikulo ya ku Etiopya.+
11 Pa ntsiku ineyi nee unadzapaswa manyadzoThangwi ya pinthu pyonsene pyakuipa pikhandicitira iwe,+Ine ndinadzabulusa pakati pako anthu akudzikuza na akugaya;Pontho iwe cipo unadzakhala wakudzikuza paphiri yanga yakucena.+
12 Ine ndinadzatawirisa kuti mbumba yakucepeseka na yakukhurudzika ikhale pakati pako,+Pontho iwo anadzathawira mu dzina ya Yahova.
13 Ale adasalikira mu Izraeli+ nee anadzacita pinthu pyakuipa;+Iwo nee anadzalonga uthambi, pontho nee anadzanyengeza anthu na lirimi yawo;Iwo anadzadya mbagona, pontho nkhabe munthu anafuna kuagopesa.”+
14 Khuwa mwakukomerwa iwe mwana wankazi wa Sioni!
Khuwa mwakutsandzaya iwe Izraeli!+
Iwe mwana wankazi wa Yerusalemu,+ tsandzaya, pontho komerwa na ntima wako onsene!
15 Yahova amalisa kutcunyuswa kukhali na iwe.+
Iye acitisa nyamalwa wako kubwerera nduli.+
Yahova, Mambo wa Izraeli ali pakati pako.+
Iwe nee unadzagopabve nyatwa.+
16 Pa ntsiku ineyi Yerusalemu anadzapangwa:
“Iwe Sioni, leka kugopa.+
Leka kugwisa manja ako.
17 Yahova Mulungu wako ali na iwe.+
Ninga nyankhondo wamphambvu, iye anadzakupulumusa.
Thangwi ya iwe, iye anadzatsandzaya kakamwe.+
Iye anadzakhurudzika thangwi ya kukomerwa na ufuni unapangiza iye kuna iwe.
Iye anadzakhuwa mwakutsandzaya thangwi yakukomerwa na iwe.
18 Ndinadzacemeresa ale anatsukwala thangwi yakukhonda gumanika mʼmaphwando ako;+Iwo nee akhali na iwe thangwi akhatsalakanwa mwakusowa cilemedzo ku dziko inango.+
19 Pa ndzidzi unoyu, ine ndinadzatcunyusa onsene anakuponderera;+Ndinadzapulumusa ale anatcikhama,+Pontho ndinadzagumanya ale adabalaliswa.+
Ine ndinadzacitisa kuti iwo asimbwe, pontho akhale akubvekera*Mu dziko yonsene idapaswa iwo manyadzo.
20 Pa ndzidzi unoyu ine ndinadzakubweresani pontho kunyumba,Inde, pa ndzidzi unoyu ine ndinadzakugumanyani.
Thangwi ine ndinadzakucitisani kukhala akubvekera,* pontho ndinadzakucitisani kuti musimbwe+ pakati pa mbumba zonsene za pa dziko yapantsi,Ndingadzabweresa anthu anu adaendeswa ku ubitcu, imwe munadzaona pyenepi,” alonga Yahova.+
