[1] Taonani tsopano, Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, ali pafupi kuchotsa mu Yerusalemu ndi mu Yuda zinthu pamodzi ndi thandizo; adzachotsa chakudya chonse ndi madzi onse,
[2] anthu amphamvu ndi asilikali ankhondo, oweruza ndi aneneri, anthu olosera ndi akuluakulu,
[3] atsogoleri a ankhondo makumi asanu ndi anthu olemekezeka, aphungu ndi anthu amatsenga ndi akatswiri pa za kulosera.
[4] Ndidzawayikira anyamata kuti akhale mafumu awo; ana akhanda ndiwo adzawalamulire.
[5] Anthu adzazunzana, munthu ndi munthu mnzake, mnansi ndi mnansi wake. Anthu wamba adzanyoza akuluakulu.
[6] Munthu adzagwira mʼbale wake mʼnyumba ya abambo awo, ndipo adzati, “Iwe uli nawo mwinjiro, ndiye ukhale mtsogoleri wathu; lamulira malo opasuka ano!”
[7] Koma tsiku limenelo mʼbale wakeyo adzafuwula kuti, “Ayi, mavuto oterewa ndilibe mankhwala ake. Ndilibe chakudya kapena chovala mʼnyumba mwanga; musasankhe ine kukhala mtsogoleri wa anthu.”
[8] Yerusalemu akudzandira, Yuda akugwa; zokamba zawo ndi ntchito zawo nʼzotsutsana ndi Yehova, sakulabadira ulemerero wa Mulungu.
[9] Maonekedwe a nkhope zawo amawatsutsa; amaonetsera poyera tchimo lawo ngati Sodomu; salibisa tchimo lawolo. Tsoka kwa iwo odziputira okha mavuto.
[10] Nena kwa olungama kuti zonse zidzawayendera bwino, pakuti adzakondwera ndi phindu la ntchito zawo.
[11] Tsoka kwa anthu oyipa! Mavuto ali pa iwo! Adzalandira malipiro a zimene manja awo anachita.
[12] Achinyamata akupondereza anthu anga, ndipo amene akuwalamulira ndi akazi. Aa, anthu anga, atsogoleri anu akukusocheretsani; akukuchotsani pa njira yanu.
[13] Yehova wakhala pamalo pake mʼbwalo la milandu; wakonzeka kuti aweruze anthu ake.
[14] Yehova akuwazenga milandu akuluakulu ndi atsogoleri a anthu ake: “Ndinu amene mwawononga munda wanga wa mpesa; nyumba zanu zadzaza ndi zolanda kwa amphawi.
[15] Nʼchifukwa chiyani inu mukupsinja anthu anga, nʼkudyera masuku pamutu amphawi?” q4 Akutero Ambuye Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
[16] Yehova akunena kuti, “Akazi a ku Ziyoni ngodzikuza kwambiri, akuyenda atakweza makosi awo, akukopa amuna ndi maso awo akuyenda monyangʼama akuliza zigwinjiri za mʼmiyendo yawo
[17] Nʼchifukwa chake Ambuye, adzatulutsa zipere pa mitu ya akazi a ku Ziyoniwo; Yehova adzachititsa dazi mitu yawo.”
[18] Tsiku limenelo Ambuye adzawachotsera zodzikongoletsera zawo: za mʼmiyendo, za ku mutu za mʼkhosi,
[19] ndolo ndi zibangiri, nsalu zophimba pa nkhope,
[20] maduku, zigwinjiri za mʼmiyendo ndi malamba, mabotolo a zonunkhira ndi zithumwa,
[21] mphete ndi zipini,
[22] zovala za pa mphwando, zipewa ndi mwinjiro, zikwama,
[23] magalasi oyangʼanira, zovala zosalala, nduwira ndiponso nsalu za mʼmapewa.
[24] Mʼmalo mwa kununkhira azidzanunkha, mʼmalo mwa lamba, adzavala chingwe; mʼmalo mwa tsitsi lopesa bwino, adzakhala ndi dazi; mʼmalo mwa zovala zabwino, adzavala chiguduli; mʼmalo mwa kunyadira kukongola adzachita manyazi.
[25] Iwe Yerusalemu anthu ako aamuna adzaphedwa ndi lupanga, asilikali ako adzafera ku nkhondo.
[26] Pa zipata za Ziyoni padzakhala kubuma ndi kulira; Iweyo udzasakazidwa nʼkukhala pansi, ukugubuduzika pa fumbi.
