14 “Iwe Izraeli, bwerera kuna Yahova Mulungu wako,+
Iwe wagwegweduka thangwi ya madodo ako.
2 Bwererani kuna Yahova, pontho mpangeni tenepa:
‘Tilekerereni madodo athu,+ pontho tambirani pinthu pyathu pyadidi,
Ife tinadzapereka ntsembe zakusimba na milomo yathu+ ninga ntsembe za anangʼombe.
3 Asirya nee anadzatipulumusa.+
Ife nee tinadzakwira makavalo,+
Pontho nee tinadzalongabve kuna mabasa a manja athu kuti: “Mulungu wathu!”
Thangwi imwe musabvera ntsisi ana aumphawi.’*+
4 Ine ndinadzaacitisa pontho toera akhale akukhulupirika.+
5 Ine ndinadzakhala ninga bume kuna Izraeli;
Iye anadzaphukira ninga maluwa,
Pontho mitcitci yace inadzakhala yakuzika kakamwe ninga miti ya ku Libhano.
6 Nthawi zace zinadzamwazika,
Kubalika kwace kunadzakhala ninga kwa muti wa mulivera,
Pontho khwema yace inadzakhala ninga miti ya ku Libhano.
7 Iwo anadzakhala pontho pa nʼthundzi wace.
Iwo anadzabzwala mbeu, pontho anadzabuluka maluwa ninga muti wa mauva.+
Kubvekera* kwace kunadzakhala ninga kwa vinyu ya ku Libhano.
8 Efraimu anadzabvundza: ‘Kodi madzimunthu ndiri nawo basa yanji?’+
Ine ndinadzantawira, pontho ndinadzantsalakana.+
Ine ndinadzakhala ninga muti wa junipero wa masamba akubithimira.
Misapo yanu inadzabuluka kuna ine.”
9 Mbani ali na udziwisi? Mbabvesese pinthu pyenepi.
Mbani wakucenjera? Mbadzindikire pinthu pyenepi.
Thangwi njira za Yahova ndi zakulungama,+
Pontho anthu akulungama anadzafamba munjira zenezi;
Mbwenye anyakudawa anadzagwegweduka munjira zenezi.
