Munthu ndi Chingwe Choyezera

1Kenaka ndinayangʼananso, ndipo ndinaona munthu atanyamula chingwe choyezera mʼmanja mwake. 2Ndipo ndinafunsa kuti, “Kodi ukupita kuti?”

Anandiyankha kuti, “Akukayeza Yerusalemu kuti ndidziwe mulifupi mwake ndi mulitali mwake.”

3Taonani, mngelo amene amayankhula nane uja akuchoka, mngelo wina anabwera kudzakumana naye 4ndipo anamuwuza kuti, “Thamanga, kamuwuze mnyamatayo kuti, ‘Yerusalemu udzakhala mzinda wopanda malinga chifukwa mudzakhala anthu ambiri ndiponso ziweto zochuluka. 5Ndipo Ine mwini ndidzakhala linga lamoto kuteteza mzindawo,’ akutero Yehova, ‘ndipo ndidzakhala ulemerero mʼkati mwake.’

6“Tulukani! Tulukani! Thawaniko ku dziko la kumpoto,” akutero Yehova, “pakuti ndinakumwazirani ku mphepo zinayi zamlengalenga,” akutero Yehova.

7“Tuluka, iwe Ziyoni! Thawa, iwe amene umakhala mʼdziko la mwana wamkazi wa Babuloni!” 8Pakuti Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, “Atatha kundilemekeza wanditumiza kwa anthu a mitundu ina amene anakufunkhani; pakuti aliyense wokhudza inu wakhudza mwanadiso wanga. 9Ndithu Ine ndidzawamenya anthuwo ndi dzanja langa ndipo amene anali akapolo awo ndiye adzawalande zinthu. Pamenepo mudzadziwa kuti Yehova Wamphamvuzonse ndiye wandituma.

10“Iwe mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni, fuwula ndipo sangalala. Pakuti taona ndikubwera, ndipo ndidzakhala pakati pako,” akutero Yehova. 11“Nthawi imeneyo anthu a mitundu yambiri adzabwera kwa Yehova ndipo adzasanduka anthu anga. Ndidzakhala pakati pako ndipo iwe udzadziwa kuti Yehova Wamphamvuzonse wandituma kwa iwe. 12Yehova adzachititsa kuti Yuda akhale chuma chake mʼdziko lopatulika ndipo adzasankhanso Yerusalemu. 13Khalani chete pamaso pa Yehova anthu nonse, chifukwa Iye wavumbuluka kuchoka ku malo ake opatulika.”
