Wopsinja uja watha!

5Yehova wathyola chikwapu cha anthu oyipa,
Iye waphwanya ndodo ya olamulira.
6Mfumu ya ku Babuloni inkakantha mitundu ya anthu mwaukali
powamenya kosalekeza,
Iyo inkagonjetsa anthu a mitundu ina mwaukali
ndikuwazunza kosalekeza.
7Koma tsopano mayiko onse ali pa mpumulo ndi pa mtendere;
ndipo akuyimba mokondwa.
8Ngakhale mitengo ya payini ndi mikungudza ya ku Lebanoni
ikuyimba za iwe mokondwa ndipo ikuti,
“Chigwetsedwere chako pansi,
palibe wina anabwera kudzatigwetsa.”
9Ku manda kwatekeseka
kuti akulandire ukamabwera;
mizimu ya anthu akufa, aja amene anali atsogoleri

Onse amene anali mafumu a mitundu ya anthu

10Onse adzayankha;
adzanena kwa iwe kuti,
“Iwenso watheratu mphamvu ngati ife;
Iwe wafanana ndi ife.”
11Ulemerero wako wonse walowa mʼmanda,

mphutsi zayalana pogona pako
ndipo chofunda chako ndi nyongolotsi.
12Wagwa pansi bwanji kuchoka kumwamba,

Wagwetsedwa pansi pa dziko lapansi,
Iwe amene unagonjetsapo mitundu ya anthu!
13Mu mtima mwako unkanena kuti,
“Ndidzakwera mpaka kumwamba;
ndidzakhazika mpando wanga waufumu
pamwamba pa nyenyezi za Mulungu;
ndidzakhala pa mpando waufumu pa phiri losonkhanirako,
pamwamba penipeni pa phiri la kumpoto.
14Ndidzakwera pamwamba pa mitambo;

15Koma watsitsidwa mʼmanda

16Anthu akufa adzakupenyetsetsa
nadzamalingalira za iwe nʼkumati,
“Kodi uyu ndi munthu uja anagwedeza dziko lapansi
ndi kunjenjemeretsa maufumu,
17munthu amene anasandutsa dziko lonse chipululu,
amene anagwetsa mizinda yake
ndipo sankalola kuti anthu ogwidwa abwerere kwawo?”
18Mafumu onse a mitundu ya anthu akugona mwaulemu

19Koma iwe watayidwa kunja kwa manda ako,
ngati nthambi yowola ndi yonyansa.
Mtembo wako waphimbidwa ndi anthu ophedwa;
amene anabayidwa ndi lupanga,
anatsikira mʼdzenje lamiyala
ngati mtembo woponderezedwa.
20Sudzayikidwa nawo mʼmanda mwaulemu,
chifukwa unawononga dziko lako
ndi kupha anthu ako.
Zidzukulu za anthu oyipa
sizidzakumbukika nʼpangʼono pomwe.
21Konzani malo woti muphere ana ake aamuna
chifukwa cha machimo a makolo awo;
kuti angadzuke ndi kulanda dziko lapansi
ndi kulidzaza dziko lonselo ndi mizinda yawo.
22Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti,
“Ine ndidzathira nkhondo mzinda wa Babuloni.
Ndidzachotseratu mu Babuloni dzina lake ndi onse otsaliramo.
Ndiye kuti sipadzakhala ana kapena zidzukulu,”
akutero Yehova.
23“Ndidzawusandutsa mzindawo malo okhalamo anungu
ndiponso dambo lamatope;
ndidzawusesa ndi tsache lowononga,”
akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
Za Kulangidwa kwa Asiriya
24Yehova Wamphamvuzonse walumbira kuti,
“Ndithudi, monga ndaganizira ndidzachitadi choncho,
ndipo monga momwe ndatsimikizira zidzakhala momwemo ndithu.
25Ndidzawawononga Asiriya mʼdziko langa;
ndidzawapondereza ndi mapazi pa mapiri anga;
ndidzachotsa goli lawo pa anthu anga,
ndipo ndidzachotsa katundu wawo pa mapewa awo.”
26Izi ndizo ndakonza kuti zichitike pa dziko lonse lapansi,
ndatambasula dzanja pa anthu a mitundu yonse.
27Pakuti Yehova Wamphamvuzonse watsimikiza, ndipo ndani angamuletse?
Dzanja lake latambasulidwa ndipo ndani angalibweze?

28Uthenga uwu unabwera chaka chimene mfumu Ahazi anamwalira:
29Musakondwere inu Afilisti nonse
kuti Asiriya amene anali ngati ndodo yokukanthani anathedwa;
chifukwa kuchokera ku njoka yomweyi (mfumu ya Aasiriya) mudzatuluka mphiri,
ndipo chipatso chake chidzakhala njoka yaliwiro ndiponso yaululu.
30Osaukitsitsa adzapeza chakudya
ndipo amphawi adzakhala mwamtendere.
Koma anthu ako ndidzawawononga ndi njala,
ndipo njalayo idzapha ngakhale opulumuka ako.
31Lirani kwambiri, anthu a pa chipata! Fuwulani kwambiri, anthu a mu mzinda!
Njenjemerani ndi mantha, inu Afilisti nonse!
Mtambo wa utsi ukuchokera kumpoto,

32Kodi tidzawayankha chiyani

“Yehova wakhazikitsa Ziyoni,
ndipo mu mzinda wakewu, anthu ozunzika apeza populumukira.”
