41 “Imwe ntsuwa, matamani mbamundibvesera;
Imwe madzindza, khalani pontho na mphambvu.
Ndifendedzereni dhuzi, buluka penepo longani.+
Tendeni tigumanyikane toera titongesane.
2 Mbani adapasa mphambvu munthu wakumabulukiro a dzuwa,+
Mbancemera mu ulungami wace toera akhale dhuzi na miyendo yace*
Toera kumpasa madzindza,
Pontho toera kuncitisa kutonga amambo?+
Mbani adaphatisira supada yace toera kuacinja kudza pfumbi,
Mbaabalalisa na uta wace ninga pinacita mphepo na mapwepwa?
3 Iye asaathamangisa, mbakhonda kudzudzumiswa na cinthu
Mbapita na njira yakuti cipo aipita kale.
Pontho ndinakhala mʼbodzi ene kuna akumalisa.”+
5 Ntsuwa zaona pyenepi mbizitoma kugopa.
Ale anakhala kunkhomo kwa dziko yapantsi atoma kutetemera.
Iwo asagumanyikana pabodzi.
6 Mʼbodzi na mʼbodzi asaphedza ndzace
Pontho asapanga mʼbale wace: “Khala wakuwanga.”
7 Natenepa, ule anacita madzimunthu asapasa mphambvu ule anacita pinthu na utale;+
Ule anaphapata utale na martelo*
Asapasa mphambvu ule anamenya utale na martelo.
Iye asalonga: “Utale wasoldhariwi mwadidi.”
Buluka penepo dzimunthu isakhomerwa na maperego toera ikhonde kugwa.
8 “Mbwenye iwe Izraeli, ndiwe ntumiki wanga,+
Iwe Yakobe, ule adasankhula ine,+
Mwana* wa xamwali wanga Abhrahamu,+
9 Iwe ndiwe adakwata ine kubulukira kunkhomo kwa dziko yapantsi,+

10 Leka kugopa, thangwi ine ndiri na iwe.+
Leka kupswipa ntima, thangwi ine ndine Mulungu wako.+
Ndinadzakuwangisa, inde, ndinadzakuphedza,+
Ine ndinadzakuphata mwakuwanga na djanja yanga yamadyo yaulungami.’
11 Ona! Onsene anaipirwa na iwe anadzapaswa manyadzo mbapwazwa.+
Ale anamenyana na iwe anadzaphiwa mbazambazika.+
12 Iwe unadzaasaka anthu anamenyana na iwe, mbwenye nee unadzaagumana;
Anadzakhala ninga cinthu cakuti nee ciripo, ninga cinthu cakuti nkhabeko.+
13 Thangwi ine Yahova Mulungu wako, ndaphata djanja yako yamadyo,
Ndine anakupanga kuti: ‘Leka kugopa. Ine ndinadzakuphedza.’+
14 Leka kugopa, iwe mpfunye* Yakobe,+
Imwe amuna a Izraeli, ine ndinadzakuphedzani,” adapilonga ndi Yahova, Muomboli wanu,+ Wakucena wa Izraeli.
15 “Ona! Ine ndiri kukucita toera ukhale cakububudira naco,+
Cakububuda naco cipswa cakukhala na madzino.
Iwe unadzaponda mbunyedza mapiri,
Pontho unadzagwisa nthunda mbazikhala ninga pinthu pyakusowa basa.
16 Iwe unadzaaponya ndzulu
Mphepo mbiakwata;
Condzi ca mphepo cinadzaamwaza.
17 “Anthu akusowa na akutcerenga ali kusaka madzi, mbwenye nee asaagumana.
Malirimi awo auma thangwi ya nyota.+
Ine Yahova ndinadzaatawira.+
Ine Mulungu wa Izraeli, nee ndinadzaasiya.+
18 Ine ndinadzacitisa nthunda kukhala na mikulo ya madzi,+
Pontho ndinadzacitisa magowa kukhala na micera ya madzi.+
Ine ndinadzacitisa thando kukhala gowa yakudzala na mitete,
Pontho ndinadzacitisa dziko yakusowa madzi kukhala na mphuno za madzi.+
Nʼthando ndinadzatcekamo muti wa junipero,
Muti wa frexo* pabodzi na muti wa sipre,+
20 Natenepa anthu onsene anaona mbadziwa,
Pontho anabvesera mbabvesesa
Kuti djanja ya Yahova ndiyo idacita pyenepi,
Pontho Wakucena wa Izraeli ndiye adacitisa pyenepi.”+
21 Yahova alonga: “Longani nseru wanu,
Perekani maonero anu,” adapilonga ndi Mambo wa Yakobe.
22 “Tipangizeni pidzindikiro, pontho tipangeni pinthu pinafuna kucitika.
Tipangeni pinthu pidacitika kale,*
Toera ife tipinyerezere,* mbatidziwa kuti ninji pinafuna kucitika.
Peno tipangeni pinthu pinafuna kudzacitika.+
23 Tipangeni pinthu pinafuna kucitika ntsogolo,
Toera ife tidziwe kuti imwe ndimwe alungu.+
Inde, citani cinthu cadidi peno cakuipa,
Toera ife tione pyenepi mbatidzumatirwa.+
24 Onani! Imwe ndimwe pinthu pyakuti nee piripo,
Pontho pinacita imwe ndi pyakusowa basa.+
Ule anasankhula kukulambirani ndi wakunyanyasa.+
25 Ine ndacemera munthu bulukira kunkwiriro, pontho iye anabwera,+
Munthu wakumabulukiro a dzuwa+ wakuti anadzacemera dzina yanga.
Iye anadzaponda-ponda atongi ninga dongo,+
Ninga pinacita nyakuumba pikalango na dongo.
26 Mbani adalonga pinthu pyenepi kutomera kale toera ife tipidziwe,
Peno kutomera mʼmidzidzi yakale toera ife tilonge: ‘Pinalonga iye mphyandimomwene’?+
Mwandimomwene, nkhabepo adadziwisa pyenepi!
Nee mʼbodzi adalonga pyenepi!
Nee mʼbodzi adabva pidalonga imwe!”+
27 Ine ndikhali wakutoma adapanga Sioni kuti: “Ona pinthu pinafuna kucitika!”+
Pontho ndinadzatuma munthu toera aende kalonge mphangwa zadidi ku Yerusalemu.+
28 Mbwenye ine ndapitiriza kuyangʼana, pontho nee ndaonapo munthu;
Pakati pawo nee pakhali na munthu toera kupereka uphungu.
Maseze ndapitiriza kubvundza, nkhabe munthu adanditawira.
29 Onani! Iwo onsene akhala ninga pinthu pyakuti nee piripo.
Pinacita iwo mphyapezi.
