Zakariya
13 “Pa ntsiku ineyi unadzakumbwa ncera toera dzindza ya Dhavidhi na anthu anakhala mu Yerusalemu acenese madawo awo na macitiro awo akunyanyasa.+
2 “Pa ntsiku ineyi,” alonga Yahova wa anyankhondo, “ine ndinadzafudza madzimunthu onsene mu dziko ineyi,+ pontho iwo nee anadzakumbukirwabve; ndinadzabulusa aprofeta+ na ale anacitisa anango kucita pyakuipa pamaso pa Mulungu mu dziko ineyi. 3 Munthu angalonga pontho maprofesiya, pai wace na mai wace, ale adamʼbala anadzampanga: ‘Iwe nee unapitiriza kukhala mʼmaso, thangwi walonga uthambi mu dzina ya Yahova.’ Pontho pai wace na mai wace, ale adamʼbala, anadzamulasa thangwi yakulonga maprofesiya.+
4 “Pa ntsiku ineyi, aprofeta onsene anadzakhala na manyadzo thangwi ya masomphenya adakhala na iwo pakulonga maprofesiya; pontho iwo nee anadzabvala nguwo* yakucitwa na uweya+ toera kunyengeza anango. 5 Pontho mʼbodzi na mʼbodzi wa iwo anadzalonga: ‘Ine nee ndine mprofeta. Basa yanga ndi yakulima, thangwi alipo adandigula ninga bitcu pikhali ine mʼphale.’ 6 Munthu angabvundza mʼbodzi wa iwo: ‘Pironda piri mʼmapewa mwako wacitikanji?’ Iye anadzatawira: ‘Ndaphekeswa kunyumba kwa axamwali anga.’”*
7 “Iwe supada, lamuka, ndoko kamenye nkumbizi wanga,+
Ndoko kamenye munthu wakuti ndi ndzanga,” alonga Yahova wa anyankhondo.
“Ndoko kaphe nkumbizi,+ penepo mabira anadzabalalika;+
Pontho ndinadzasandika ale akuti ndi akupwazika.”
8 “Pontho mu dziko ineyi yonsene,” alonga Yahova,
“Pa anthu atatu, awiri anadzaphiwa;
Mʼbodzi basi ndiye anafuna kudzasala.
9 Pontho anewa anafuna kudzasala ndinadzaapitisa na pa moto;
Ine ndinadzaacenesa, ninga munaceneswa parata ingaikhwa pa moto,
Pontho ndinadzaasungula ninga munasungulwa ouro.+
Iwo anadzacemera dzina yanga,
Pontho ine ndinadzaatawira.
Ine ndinadzalonga: ‘Iwo ndi mbumba yanga,’+
Pontho iwo anadzalonga: ‘Yahova ndi Mulungu wathu.’”
