Uthenga Wonena za Afilisti
1Uthenga umene Yehova anamupatsa mneneri Yeremiya wonena za Afilisti, Farao asanathire nkhondo Gaza ndi uwu:
2Yehova akuti,
“Taonani mmene madzi akubwerera kuchokera kumpoto;
adzasanduka mtsinje wosefukira ndi a mkokomo.
Adzasefukira mʼdziko monse ndi kumiza chilichonse mʼmenemo,
mizinda ndi onse okhala mʼmenemo.
Anthu adzafuwula;
anthu onse okhala mʼdzikomo adzalira
3akadzamva mgugu wa ngʼombe zazimuna zothamanga,
phokoso la magaleta ake
ndi kulira kwa mikombero yake.
Makolo sadzatembenuka kuti athandize ana awo;
manja awo adzangoti khoba.
4Pakuti tsiku lafika
lowononga Afilisti onse
ndi kupha onse otsala,
onse amene akanatha kuthandiza Turo ndi Sidoni.
Yehova ali pafupi kuwononga Afilisti,
otsala ochokera ku zilumba za ku Kafitori.
5Anthu a ku Gaza ameta mipala;
anthu a ku Asikeloni akhala chete.
Inu otsala a ku chigwa,
mudzakhala mukudzichekacheka mpaka liti?
6“Mukulira kuti, ‘Aa, lupanga la Yehova,
kodi udzapumula liti?
Bwerera mʼmalo ako;
ukhale momwemo ndipo ukhale chete.’
7Koma lupangalo lidzapumula bwanji
pamene Yehova walilamulira
kuti lithire nkhondo
Asikeloni ndi anthu a mʼmbali mwa nyanja?”
