4 Ndipuso, ndakunangiyanji,

Yiwi Turo, Sidoni ndipuso vigaŵa vosi va ku Filisitiya?

Asani mutindiweze nduzga,

Ndazamuweze nduzga zo pa mitu yinu mwaliŵi.+

 6 Yehova wakamba kuti,

‘“Chifukwa cha maubudi ngatatu nga Gaza,+ kweniso nganayi, ndazamusintha cha chilangu chaki,

Pakuti yiwu anguto gulu losi la ŵanthu akutoleke ku ukapolu+ kuti aŵapereki mu manja mwaku Edomu.

 7 Mwaviyo, ndazamutuma motu pampanda wa Gaza,+

Ndipu wazamuwotcha tinyumba taki takuthopoka takukho.

 8 Ndazamunanga ŵanthu a ku Ashidodi,+

Kweniso wakulamuliya* wa ku Ashikeloni;+

Ndazamulanga Ekironi,+

Ndipu Afilisiti wo akujaku azamumala,”+ Yehova, Ambuya Fumu Yikulu ndiyu wakamba.’

 4 Pakuti Gaza wazamukuŵa tawuni yakujowoleka;+

Ndipu Ashikeloni wazamusambuka mahami.

Ashidodi wazamudikisika lumwi le nyee,*

Ndipu Ekironi wazamuchesulika.+

 5 Ashikeloni wazamuwona ndipu wazamuchita mantha;

Gaza wazamukuvwa urwirwi ukulu,

Ekironi nayu wazamukuvwa urwirwi, chifukwa chakuti yo wathembanga walengeseka.

Mu Gaza mwazamukuŵa so fumu cha,

Ndipu mu Ashikeloni mwazamuja ŵanthu cha.+
