[1] Tsekula zitseko zako, iwe Lebanoni, kuti moto unyeketse mikungudza yako!
[2] Lira mwachisoni, iwe mtengo wa payini, pakuti mkungudza wagwa; mtengo wamphamvu wawonongeka! Lirani mwachisoni, inu mitengo ya thundu ya Basani; nkhalango yowirira yadulidwa!
[3] Imvani kulira mwachisoni kwa abusa; msipu wawo wobiriwira wawonongeka! Imvani kubangula kwa mikango; nkhalango yowirira ya ku Yorodani yawonongeka!
[4] Yehova Mulungu wanga akuti, “Dyetsa nkhosa zimene zikukaphedwa.
[5] Amene amagula nkhosazo amazipha ndipo salangidwa. Amene amazigulitsa amanena kuti, ‘Alemekezeke Yehova, ine ndalemera!’ Abusa ake omwe sazimvera chisoni nkhosazo.
[6] Pakuti Ine sindidzamveranso chisoni anthu okhala mʼdziko,” akutero Yehova. “Ndidzapereka munthu aliyense mʼmanja mwa mnansi wake ndi mwa mfumu yake. Iwo adzazunza dziko, ndipo Ine sindidzawapulumutsa mʼmanja mwawo.”
[7] Choncho ine ndinadyetsa nkhosa zokaphedwa, makamaka nkhosa zoponderezedwa. Pamenepo ndinatenga ndodo ziwiri ndipo yoyamba ndinayitcha Kukoma mtima ndipo yachiwiri ndinayitcha Umodzi ndipo ndinadyetsa nkhosazo.
[8] Pa mwezi umodzi ndinachotsa abusa atatu. Abusawo anadana nane, ndipo ndinatopa nawo.
[9] Ndinawuza gulu la nkhosalo kuti, “Sindidzakhalanso mʼbusa wanu. Imene ikufa, ife, ndipo imene ikuwonongeka, iwonongeke, zimene zatsala zizidyana.”
[10] Kenaka ndinatenga ndodo yanga yotchedwa Kukoma mtima ndi kuyithyola, kuphwanya pangano limene ndinachita ndi mitundu yonse ya anthu.
[11] Linaphwanyidwa tsiku limenelo ndipo nkhosa zosautsidwa zimene zimandiyangʼanitsitsa zinadziwa kuti anali mawu a Yehova.
[12] Ndinawawuza kuti, “Ngati mukuganiza kuti zili bwino, patseni malipiro anga; koma ngati si choncho, sungani malipirowo.” Kotero anandipatsa ndalama zasiliva makumi atatu.
[13] Ndipo Yehova anandiwuza kuti, “Ziponye kwa wowumba mbiya,” mtengo woyenera umene anapereka pondigula Ine! Choncho ndinatenga ndalama zasiliva makumi atatu ndi kuziponya mʼnyumba ya Yehova kwa wowumba mbiya.
[14] Kenaka ndinathyola ndodo yanga yachiwiri yotchedwa Umodzi, kuthetsa ubale pakati pa Yuda ndi Israeli.
[15] Pamenepo Yehova anayankhula nane kuti, “Tenganso zida za mʼbusa wopusa.
[16] Pakuti ndidzawutsa mʼbusa mʼdzikomo amene sadzasamalira zotayika, kapena kufunafuna zazingʼono, kapena zovulala, kapena kudyetsa nkhosa zabwino, koma iye adzadya nyama ya nkhosa zonenepa, nʼkumakukuta ndi ziboda zomwe.
[17] “Tsoka kwa mʼbusa wopandapake, amene amasiya nkhosa! Lupanga limukanthe pa mkono wake ndi pa diso lake lakumanja! Mkono wake ufote kotheratu, diso lake lamanja lisaonenso.”
