Nahumu 3

1Yee mme wee! Wapalala iwe nzi nkulu uzhele kutebula malopa,
uzhele manyepkhwa
usingapedze kutapila.
2Kuphutuka kwe zwimi
ne zhoba ye makumbgwana,
kumatha kwe mbizi
ne kugongorodza kwe koloyi dze ngwa!
3Bataswi be mbizi banonginilila ngwa
makanu anonga lupenyo ne mathumo anopenya,
migwi ne migwi ye bafi,
zwitumbu zwikatiliyana,
bafi basina mbalo,
bathu betatha bekuthiwa nge zwitumbu.
4Ngoti nge bufukula gwe fukula
ikwekweredza, ili nyambi ye buloyi,
inothama njudzi balanda nge bufukula gwayo
bathu bose ibathama balanda nge buloyi gwayo.
5Yahwe Masimbawose bakati,
“Ndobhayana nawe, ndowomilidza thako iyo akukwididza ndiyo.
Ndowolakidza njudzi mbujo iyo,
mibuso ndowoyilakidza shoni dzidzo.
6Nasha nge shambgwa,
ndowokulengudza
akuthama tjiyeye.
7Bose banowokubona banowokutizha bebe beti,
‘Ninive yabe matongo, ndiyani unowoyililila?
Ndingayi kwandingawana mmwe ungayinyaladza?’ ”
8Apa unoyita pana Thebesi
yakabakwa mu Naili
yakapotelekwa nge vula kene?
Gwizi gwakabe guli igo n'gwili wayo
vula ili iyo guma layo.
9Khushi yakabe ili simba layo,
Egipiti naiyo bo nge buzhalo,
Puti ne Libhiya naidzo dzakabe dzili babhatshi bayo.
10Nenguba kwakajalo yakatapiwa
ikayenda kubutapiwa.
Ngawana dzayo dzakapkhwanyigwa pasi
mu mapelelo e zila imwe ne imwe,
Hakata dzikakandila batungamili babo,
ngono bose bayo be mamo bakasungwa nge ketani.
11Nawebo unowolaladza,
unowotizha ukanobgwata
ukashaka matizhilo mu zwita.
12Mbako dzidzo dzose dze matizhilo dzowonga mipaya
ina phaya dzayo dze kutanga kubidwa,
ha izunguziwa
phaya dzowila mu nlomo we n'ji.
13Linga babhayani babo,
bose mukati kuko bakadzi!
Mikoba ye shango iyo
yakazhukila zwita zwizo,
moto wakapisa phanda dzayo.
14Tjela vula ngoti mowokombiwa nge ngwa,
simisa matizhilo awo!
Ngina mu vu,
sinyanga vu,
bhata foromu uyishingise!
15Moto unowomuja ikoko,
bukanu gowomutemela pasi
ngono gowomupedzisa se phashu.
Wandani se phashu,
muwande se phashu!
16Wakawatsha baseenyi babo
kuswikila bepinda nyenyedzi nge bunji.
Koga banonga phashu dzinokukula shango
dzibe dziwuluka dziyenda zwadzo.
17Balindi babo banonga phashu,
makulukota awo anonga mibunga ye phashu
yagala mu bhakasa zhuba linopota,
koga zhuba alibhaya dzowuluka dziyenda,
ngono kube kusina unoziba kwadzayenda.
18Iwe mambo we Asiriya, balisi babo bakayizela,
makulukota awo anotshumwayila.
Bathu babo bakapalalila mu matombo
kusina iye ungabakubunganya.
19Atjipo tjingapodza mbonje iyo,
kukubala kuko nge kunoyisa ku lufu.
Mmwe ne mmwe unohwa thawu nge kuko
unolobela phande kuwa kuko,
ngoti ndiani kene usakatongo hwisiwa zogwadza
nge bukukutu gwe moyo uwo gusingapele.
