Nyamadulanthaka akubwera ninga mphungu kudzamukira nyumba ya Yahova,
Pakuti Jirayeri alibe kuteweza mpangano omwe ndidacita na iye ndipo alibe kubvera lamulo langu.
2 Iwo akundilirira kuti: ‘Imwe Mulungu wathu, ifepano Ajirayeri timbakudziwani!’
3 Jirayeri walamba kucita bzabwino,
Tenepo, nyamadulanthaka amufambire m’mbuyo.
4 Iwo aikha amambo mwakufuna kwawo,
Asankhula nduna mwakusaya kundibvunza,
Akonza bzifanikiso na prata pabodzi na oro yawo,
Ndipo bzimwebzi bzin’dzawacitisa kuti apfudzidwe.
5 Iwe Samariya, cifanikiso cako ca mphulu cataidwa.
Ndakalipa nawe kwene-kwene iwe Samariya,
Kodi pan’pita nthawe itali tani kuti iwepo ukhale pomwe wakucena?
6 Bzimwebzi bzacokera ku Jirayeri.
Misiri ndiye omwe wakonza cifanikiso ca mphuluco
Ndipo ico ni Mulungu lini wacadidi;Ndipo cifanikiso ca ku Samariyaco, cin’dzagwatidwa-gwatidwa.
7 Pakuti akubzala mphepo,
Iwo an’dzabvuna conzi camphanvu.
Tirigu yomwe iri m’minda iribe kukhuma;
Ndipo ngala zace zikuwapasa lini ufa.
Napo tirigu inango icikhuma, wanthu wa dziko linango* ndiwo omwe an’dzaikhudyula.
8 Jirayeri an’dzakhudyulidwa,
Mwakuti an’dzakhala pakati pa mitundu inango ya wanthu
Ninga tumitsuko twakusaya basa.*
9 Pakuti iwo ambayenda ku dziko la Asiriya
Ninga bulu wa m’thengo omwe ambafamba yekha-yekha. Efraimu wapagali akazi kuti akhale amakhadzi wace.
10 Napo kuti iwo apagali akwende wa mitundu inango,
Tsapano inepano nin’watsonkhanisa;
Ndipo iwo an’dzayamba kubonera thangwe ra mtoloOmwe mambo na nduna awasenzesa.
11 Efraimu wathumizira maguwa ya ntsembe,
Ndipo iwo ambaphatisa basa maguwa yawo ya ntsembeyo kuti acitire pikado.
12 Ine ndidamunembera bzinthu bzizinji pakulewa bza malamulo* yangu,
Tsono iye adayawona ninga bzinthu bzacirendo.
13 Iwo ambandipasa ntsembe ndipo ambadya nyama,
Tsono ine Yahova nimbakomedwa lini nawo.
Tenepo ine nin’dzakumbukira bzakuphonya bzawo
Ndipo nin’dzawapasa nyathwa thangwe ra pikado zawo.
Iwo abwerera* ku Edjipito.
14 Jirayeri wayebwa Omwe Adamukonza ndipo wamanga matemplo,
Ndipo Djuda wathumizira mizinda mizinji
Yakukhotcereredwa na mimuro* yakulimba.
Tsono nin’dzatumiza moto ku mizinda yaceyo,
Ndipo motoyo un’dzanyekesa ntsanza iri-yentse.”
