6 Mbwenye ine ndalonga: “Mama ine pano, Yahova Mbuya Wankulu Kakamwe!
Ine nkhabe kwanisa kulonga,+ thangwi ndine mʼphale.”+
7 Penepo Yahova andipanga:
“Leka kulonga kuti: ‘Ndine mʼphale.’
Thangwi usafunika kuenda kuna anthu onsene, kunafuna kukutuma ine,
Pontho usafunika kulonga pinthu pyonsene pinafuna kukupanga ine.+

“Nyatwa inabwera buluka kunkwiriro,
Mbigwera anthu onsene anakhala mu dziko ineyi.+
15 Thangwi Yahova alonga:+ ‘Ine ndinacemeresa madzindza onsene a maumambo a kunkwiriro.’
‘Iwo anabwera; mʼbodzi na mʼbodzi anaikha mpando wace waumambo,
Pa misuwo ya Yerusalemu,+
Anazungulira mpanda onsene,
Na mizinda yonsene ya ku Yuda.+
16 Ine ndinadzaatonga thangwi ya pinthu pyonsene pyakuipa pidacita iwo,
Thangwi iwo andisiya,+
Pontho asapereka ntsembe* kuna alungu anango,+
Mbagodamira pinthu pidacita iwo na manja awo.’+
17 Mbwenye iwe usafunika kukhunganyika,
Lamuka, ndoko kaapange pyonsene pinafuna ine kukupanga.
Leka kugopa thangwi ya iwo,+
Toera ine ndikhonde kukugopesa pamaso pawo.
18 Thangwi lero ine ndakucitisa kukhala nzinda wakuwanga,
Nzati wa utale na mpanda wa nkuwa toera ukwanise kuthimbana na dziko yonsene:+
Amambo a ku Yuda na akulu-akulu ace,
Anyantsembe ace na mbumba ya mu dziko ineyi.+
19 Mwandimomwene iwo anadzamenyana na iwe,
Mbwenye nee anadzakukunda,
Thangwi Yahova alonga: ‘Ine ndiri na iwe toera kukupulumusa.’”+
