25“Taonani, ndikukuzenga mlandu, iwe phiri lowononga,

akutero Yehova.
“Ndidzatambalitsa dzanja langa pofuna kukulanga,

26Palibe ngakhale ndi mwala wako umodzi umene anthu adzawutenga

27“Kwezani mbendera ya nkhondo mʼdziko!

32Madooko onse alandidwa,

ndipo ankhondo onse asokonezeka.”
33Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mulungu wa Israeli akuti,
“Babuloni wokongola uja wakhala ngati malo opunthirapo tirigu
pa nthawi yake yopuntha tirigu; A ku Yerusalemu akuti,
Posachedwapa nthawi yake yomukolola ifika.”
34A ku Yerusalemu akuti, “Nebukadinezara mfumu ya ku Babuloni watiwononga,
watiphwanya,
ndi kutitaya ngati mbiya yopanda kanthu.
Watimeza ngati ngʼona,
wakhuta ndi zakudya zathu zokoma,
kenaka nʼkutilavula.”
35Anthu a ku Ziyoni anene kuti,
“Zankhanza zimene anatichitira ife ziwabwerere Ababuloni.”
Anthu okhala mu Yerusalemu anene kuti,
“Magazi athu amene anakhetsedwa akhale pa amene akukhala ku Babuloni.”
36Nʼchifukwa chake Yehova akuti,
“Taona, ndidzakumenyera nkhondo
ndi kukulipsirira;
ndidzawumitsa nyanja yake
ndipo akasupe ake adzaphwa.
37Motero Babuloni adzasanduka mulu wa nyumba zogumuka,

38Anthu ake onse adzabangula ngati mkango,

akutero Yehova.
40“Ine ndidzawatenga

ngati nkhosa zazimuna ndi mbuzi.
41“Ndithu Babuloni walandidwa,

Taonani, mmene Babuloni wasandukira chinthu chochititsa mantha

44Ndidzalanga Beli mulungu wa Ababuloni,

Mitundu ya anthu sidzapitanso kwa iye.
Malinga a Babuloni agwa.
45“Tulukani mʼBabuloni anthu anga!

48Pamenepo kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi ndi zonse zili mʼmenemo
zidzayimba mokondwa chifukwa cha kugwa kwa Babuloni.
Anthu owononga ochokera kumpoto

akutero Yehova.
49“Babuloni anapha anthu ambiri pa dziko lapansi.
Tsono, nawo anthu a ku Babuloni ayenera kuphedwa
chifukwa anapha anthu a ku Yerusalemu.
50Inu amene munapulumuka ku nkhondo ya Babuloni,

Kumbukirani Yehova ngakhale muli ku mayiko akutali,

51Inu mukuti, “Tikuchita manyazi,
chifukwa tanyozedwa
ndipo nkhope zathu zili ndi manyazi,
chifukwa anthu achilendo alowa
malo opatulika a Nyumba ya Yehova.”
52Nʼchifukwa chake Yehova akuti,
“Masiku akubwera pamene ndidzalanga mafano ake,
ndipo mʼdziko lake lonse
anthu ovulala adzabuwula.
53Ngakhale Babuloni atadzikweza mpaka mlengalenga

ndidzatuma anthu owononga kudzamenyana naye,”
akutero Yehova.
54“Imvani mfuwu wolira kuchokera ku Babuloni.
Imvani phokoso lachiwonongeko chachikulu

55Pakuti Yehova akuwononga Babuloni,

Phokoso lawo likunka likwererakwerera.
56Pakuti wowononga wafika kudzamenyana ndi Babuloni,

Paja Yehova ndi Mulungu wobwezera chilango;

akutero Mfumu, amene dzina lake ndi Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
58Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti,
“Malinga aakulu a Babuloni adzasalazidwa
ndipo zipata zake zazitali zidzatenthedwa;
mitundu ya anthu inangogwira ntchito pachabe.
Anthu anatopa ndi kumanga zimene tsopano zikupsa ndi moto.”
59Zedekiya mfumu ya Yuda inali ndi phungu wake wamkulu amene dzina lake linali Seraya mwana wa Neriya chidzukulu cha Maseya. Mʼchaka chachinayi cha ulamuliro wake, Zedekiya anapita ndi Seraya ku Babuloni.

Mawu a Yeremiya athera pamenepa.
