Pidziwisenimbo ku Nofi* na ku Tafanesi.+
Longani: ‘Pakanani mbamukhunganyika,
Thangwi supada inadzafudza anthu onsene nʼkhundu mwanu.
15 Thangwi yanji amuna akuwanga pakati panu amala kufudzwa?
Iwo nee akwanisa kupitiriza kukhala dzololo,
Thangwi Yahova aagwisa pantsi.

19 Pakani mitolo toera muende ku ubitcu,
Imwe anthu a ku Ejitu.
Thangwi nzinda wa Nofi* unadzakhala cinthu cakugopesa;
20 Ejitu alandana na ngʼombe ikazi yakubalika,
Mbwenye imbu zinabwera buluka ku dziko yakunkwiriro mbazimuluma.
21 Anyankhondo adalipa iye toera amʼphedze alandanambo na ngʼombe zakukhuma pakati pawo,
Mbwenye iwombo azungunuka, mbathawa pabodzi pene;
Iwo nee apitiriza kukhala akuwanga,+
Thangwi yafika ntsiku yawo ya kuoneswa nyatwa,
Ndzidzi wakutcunyuswa kwawo.’
22 ‘Kukhuwa kwace ndi ninga dungu ya nyoka yakuti iri kuthawa,
Thangwi iwo ali kubwera kuna iye na mphambvu, pontho na macado,
Ninga amuna akuti asagwisa miti.
23 Iwo anadzagwisa miti ya mu nsitu wace,’ alonga Yahova, ‘maseze usaoneka ninga nkhabe pitika.
Thangwi iwo ndi azinji kakamwe kupiringana anyadzombe, ndi akukhonda lengeseka.
24 Anthu a ku Ejitu anadzapaswa manyadzo.
Iwo anadzaperekwa mʼmanja mwa mbumba yakunkwiriro.’+
25 “Yahova wa anyankhondo, Mulungu wa Izraeli, alonga: ‘Cincino, ine ndinatcunyusa Amoni+ mulungu wa ku No,*+ ndinatcunyusa Farau, Ejitu na alungu ace+ pabodzi na amambo ace, inde, ndinatcunyusa Farau na anthu onsene ananʼnyindira.’+
26 “‘Ine ndinadzaapereka kuna ale anaasaka toera kuapha, kuna Nabhukodhonozore mambo wa ku Bhabhilonya+ na atumiki ace. Mbwenye buluka penepo, dziko ya Ejitu inadzakhala pontho na anthu ninga mwakale,’ alonga Yahova.+
27 ‘Mbwenye iwe ntumiki wanga Yakobe, leka kugopa,
Pontho leka kugopeswa iwe Izraeli.+
Thangwi ine ndinadzakupulumusa ku mbuto yakutali,
Pontho dzindza yako ndinadzaipulumusa ku dziko idaendeswa iyo ku ubitcu.+
Yakobe anadzabwerera, mbakhala mwakupfulika na muntendere,
Mbakhonda kuoneka munthu anafuna kunʼgopesa.+
28 Natenepa, leka kugopa, iwe ntumiki wanga Yakobe,’ alonga Yahova, ‘thangwi ine ndiri na iwe,
Ine ndinadzafudza madzindza onsene mu mbuto zidakubalalisa ine.+
Mbwenye iwe, ine nee ndinadzakufudza.+
