Chivumbulutso 18
Mawu a Mulungu mu Chichewa Chalero
Kugwa kwa Babuloni
18 Zitatha izi ndinaona mngelo wina akutsika kuchokera kumwamba. Iye anali ndi ulamuliro waukulu, ndipo dziko lapansi linawala ndi ulemerero. 2 Mngeloyo anafuwula ndi mawu amphamvu kuti:
“ ‘Wagwa! Wagwa Babuloni Wamkulu!’
Wasandulika mokhalamo ziwanda
ndi kofikako mizimu yonse yoyipa
ndi mbalame zonse zonyansa
ndi zodetsedwa.
3 Pakuti mayiko onse amwa
vinyo ozunguza mutu wazigololo zake.
Mafumu a dziko lapansi achita naye chigololo,
ndipo amalonda a dziko lapansi analemera kuchokera pa zolakalaka zake zosefukira.”
Awachenjeza kuti Athawe Chiweruzo cha Babuloni
4 Ndiponso ndinamva mawu ena kuchokera kumwamba akuti:
“ ‘Anthu anga tulukani, mwa iye,’
mungachimwe naye
kuti musadzalandire nawo gawo lililonse la miliri yake;
5 pakuti machimo ake awunjikana mpaka kumwamba,
ndipo Mulungu wakumbukira milandu yake.
6 Bwezerani Iye monga momwe iye anakuchitirani.
Mubwezereni mowirikiza pa zimene anachita.
Mumusakanizire magawo awiri kuchokera mʼchikho chake.
7 Mumuzunze, kumumvetsa chisoni kwambiri
monga mwaulemerero ndi zolakalaka
zimene anadzaza mu mtima mwake. Iye anadzikuza nʼkumati,
‘Ndinakhala monga mfumu yayikazi,
ine sindine wamasiye
ndipo sindidzalira maliro.’
8 Chifukwa chake miliri yake idzamugonjetsa tsiku limodzi;
imfa, kulira maliro ndi njala.
Iye adzanyeka ndi moto
pakuti wamphamvu ndi Mulungu Ambuye amene wamuweruza.

11 “Amalonda a dziko lapansi adzalira nakhuza maliro ake chifukwa palibenso amene akugula katundu wawo, 12 katundu wagolide, siliva, miyala yamtengo wapamwamba ndi ngale; nsalu zoyera kwambiri zapamwamba ndi zofiira; nsalu zasilika ndi zapepo; mitengo iliyonse yonunkhira ndi zinthu zilizonse zopangidwa ndi mnyanga, kapena matabwa ogulidwa ndi ndalama zambiri kapena mkuwa kapena chitsulo ndi mwala wonyezimira; 13 zokometsera zakudya, mure, lubani ndi zofukiza zina, vinyo ndi mafuta a olivi, ufa wosalala ndi tirigu; ngʼombe ndi nkhosa; akavalo ndi ngolo; ndi anthu adzagulitsidwa ukapolo.
14 “Iwo adzanena kuti, ‘Chipatso chimene unachilakalaka chakuchokera. Chuma chako chonse ndi ulemerero zatha, sizidzapezekanso.’ 15 Amalonda amene anagulitsa zinthu izi napeza chuma kuchokera kwa iye adzayima patali potero ataopsedwa ndi mazunzo ake. Adzalira ndi kukhuza maliro 16 ndipo adzalira mokuwa kuti,

17 Chuma chambiri choterechi chafika powonongeka mu ora limodzi!’
“Oyendetsa sitima ndi onse oyenda pa sitima ya pamadzi, ogwira ntchito mʼsitima ndi onse amene amadalira nyanja pamoyo wa tsiku ndi tsiku adzayima patali potero. 18 Akadzaona utsi wa kunyeka kwake, adzakuwa kuti, ‘Kodi panalinso mzinda wina ngati mzinda waukuluwu?’ 19 Adzathira fumbi pamitu pawo ndipo adzalira nakhuza maliro kuti,
“Tsoka! Tsoka mzinda waukulu iwe,

Mu ora limodzi wawonongedwa.
20 “Kondwerani chifukwa cha iye inu kumwamba!
Kondwerani oyera mtima

Mulungu wamuweruza iye
monga momwe anakuchitirani inu.”
Chiwonongeko Chotsiriza cha Babuloni
21 Kenaka mngelo wamphamvu ananyamula mwala waukulu ngati mphero yayikulu nawuponya mʼnyanja nanena kuti,
“Mwa mphamvu chonchi
mzinda waukulu wa Babuloni udzaponyedwa pansi,
sudzapezekanso.
22 Mwa iwe simudzamvekanso liwu la woyimba zeze, ndi akatswiri a zoyimbayimba,
oyimba zitoliro, ndi lipenga.
Mwa iwe simudzapezekanso

Mwa iwe simudzapezekanso

23 Kuwala kwa nyale

Mawu a mkwati ndi mkwatibwi

Amalonda anu anali akuluakulu a dziko lapansi.
Mitundu yonse inasokonezedwa ndi zamatsenga zako.
24 Mwa iye munapezeka magazi a aneneri ndi a oyera mtima,
ndi onse amene anaphedwa pa dziko lapansi.”
