[1] Uthenga umene Yehova anamupatsa mneneri Yeremiya wonena za Afilisti, Farao asanathire nkhondo Gaza ndi uwu:
[2] Yehova 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
[3] akadzamva mgugu wa ngʼombe zazimuna zothamanga, phokoso la magaleta ake ndi kulira kwa mikombero yake. Makolo sadzatembenuka kuti athandize ana awo; manja awo adzangoti khoba.
[4] Pakuti 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.
[5] Anthu 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.’
[7] Koma lupangalo lidzapumula bwanji pamene Yehova walilamulira kuti lithire nkhondo Asikeloni ndi anthu a mʼmbali mwa nyanja?”
