akutero Yehova.
3“Ndidzawononga anthu pamodzi ndi nyama zomwe;
ndidzawononga mbalame zamlengalenga

Ndidzawononga anthu oyipa,
ndipo ndidzafafaniza mtundu wa anthu pa dziko lonse lapansi,”
akutero Yehova.
Chenjezo kwa Yuda
4Ndidzatambasula dzanja langa pa Yuda

6amene abwerera mʼmbuyo osatsata Yehova,
osafunafuna kapena kupempha nzeru kwa Yehova.
7Khalani chete pamaso pa Ambuye Yehova,

10“Pa tsiku limenelo,” akutero Yehova,
“Kufuwula kwakukulu kudzamveka pa Chipata cha Nsomba,
kulira kwa chisoni kuchokera mʼChigawo Chatsopano,
ndi phokoso la kugumuka kochokera ku mapiri.
11Lirani mwachisoni, inu amene mumakhala kumene kuli msika;

Adzamanga nyumba,

Tsiku Lalikulu la Yehova

15Tsiku limenelo lidzakhala la ukali,
tsiku losautsa ndi lomvetsa chisoni,

tsiku la mdima ndi lachisoni,
tsiku la mitambo ndi la mdima wandiweyani.
16Tsiku loliza lipenga ndi la mfuwu wankhondo,
tsiku la kugwa kwa mizinda yotetezedwa
ndi nsanja za pa ngodya.
17Ndidzabweretsa msautso pa anthu
ndipo adzayenda ngati anthu osaona,
chifukwa achimwira Yehova,
magazi awo adzamwazika ngati fumbi
ndi mnofu wawo ngati ndowe.
18Ngakhale siliva wawo kapena golide wawo
sadzatha kuwapulumutsa
pa tsiku la ukali wa Yehova.
Dziko lonse lapansi lidzanyeka
mʼmoto wa nsanje yake
chifukwa adzakantha modzidzimutsa
onse okhala pa dziko lapansi.
