2 “Ipi ndi pidalonga Yahova Mulungu wa Izraeli: ‘Ndoko kalonge na Zedhekiya Mambo+ wa ku Yuda, mpange kuti: “Ipi ndi pidalonga Yahova: ‘Ine ndinadzapereka nzinda uno mʼmanja mwa mambo wa ku Bhabhilonya, pontho iye anadzaupisa na moto.+ 3 Imwe munadzaphatwa na mambo wa ku Bhabhilonya, thangwi mwakukhonda penula imwe munadzamangwa mbamuperekwa mʼmanja mwace,+ munadzaonana na mambo wa ku Bhabhilonya iye mbalonga na imwe nkhope na nkhope, buluka penepo munadzaendeswa ku Bhabhilonya.’+ 4 Mbwenye bveserani mafala a Yahova imwe Zedhekiya Mambo wa ku Yuda: ‘Ipi ndi pidalonga Yahova thangwi ya imwe mambo: “Iwe nee unadzaphiwa na supada. 5 Unadzafa muntendere,+ pontho anthu anadzakupisira pinthu pyakununkhira pakuikhwa kwako munthumbi ninga pidacitira iwo ambuyako, akuti ndi amambo adakhala mʼmaso iwe mbudzati kubalwa.

17 “Natenepa, ipi ndi pidalonga Yahova: ‘Imwe nee mwandibvera pidadziwisa imwe kuti mʼbodzi na mʼbodzi anapasa ufulu mʼbale wace na ndzace.+ Na thangwi ineyi, ine ndiri kudziwisa pya ufulu,’ alonga Yahova, ‘ufulu wakusankhula kuphiwa na supada, kufa na utenda peno kufa na njala,+ pontho ndinadzakucitisani kuti mukhale cinthu cakugopesa kuna anthu a maumambo onsene pa dziko yapantsi.+ 18 Pyenepi ndipyo pinafuna kucitikira anthu adakhonda kutoweza cibverano canga, thangwi yakukhonda kubvera mafala a cibverano cidacita iwo pamaso panga, pidagwanda iwo mwanangʼombe pakati-nakati mbapita na pakati pa mapindi anewa,+ 19 akuti ndi akulu-akulu a ku Yuda, akulu-akulu a ku Yerusalemu, akulu a utongi, anyantsembe na mbumba yonsene ya dziko ino adapita na pakati pa mapindi mawiri a mwanangʼombe: 20 Ndinadzaapereka kuna anyamalwa awo na kuna ale anaasaka toera kuapha, manungo awo akufa anadzakhala cakudya kuna mbalame na kuna pinyama pya pa dziko yapantsi.+ 21 Zedhekiya mambo wa ku Yuda na akulu-akulu ace ndinadzaapereka kuna anyamalwa awo, kuna ale anaasaka toera kuapha na kuna anyankhondo a mambo wa ku Bhabhilonya,+ akuti ali kubwerera nduli mbakhonda kumenya nkhondo na imwe.’+

22 “‘Ine ndinadzaapanga pinafunika iwo kucita,’ alonga Yahova, ‘ndinadzaabweresa pontho mu nzinda uno, iwo anadzamenya nkhondo na nzinda uno, anadzaukunda mbaupisa na moto;+ mizinda ya Yuda ndinadzaisiya madembe, mbikhonda kukhala na anthu.’”+
