[1] Chifukwa chokonda Ziyoni sindidzakhala chete, chifukwa chokonda Yerusalemu sindidzakhala chete, mpaka chilungamo chake chitaoneka poyera ngati kuwala, ndi chipulumutso chake chitaoneka ngati sakali yoyaka.
[2] Mitundu ya anthu idzaona iwe utapambana pa nkhondo ndipo mafumu onse adzaona ulemerero wako. Adzakuyitanira dzina latsopano limene adzakupatse ndi Yehova.
[3] Udzakhala ngati chipewa chaulemerero mʼdzanja la Yehova, ndi ngati nduwira yaufumu mʼdzanja la Mulungu wako.
[4] Sadzakutchanso “Wosiyidwa,” ndipo dziko lako silidzatchedwanso “Chipululu.” Koma dzina lako latsopano lidzakhala “Ndakondwera naye.” Ndipo dziko lako lidzatchedwa “Wokwatiwa.” Chifukwa Yehova akukondwera nawe, ndipo adzakhala ngati mwamuna wa dziko lako.
[5] Monga mnyamata amakwatira namwali, momwenso mmisiri wodzakumanga adzakukwatira; monga mkwati amakondwera ndi mkwatibwi, chonchonso Mulungu adzakondwera nawe.
[6] Iwe Yerusalemu, pa malinga ako ndayikapo alonda; sadzakhala chete usana kapena usiku. Inu amene mumakumbutsa Yehova za malonjezo ake musapumule.
[7] Musamupatse mpata wopuma mpaka atakhazikitsa Yerusalemu kukhala mzinda umene dziko lapansi lidzawutamande.
[8] Yehova analumbira atakweza dzanja lake. Anati, “Sindidzaperekanso tirigu wako kuti akhale chakudya cha adani ako, ndipo alendo sadzamwanso vinyo wako watsopano pakuti unamuvutikira.
[9] Koma amene amakakolola ndiwo amene adzadye buledi ndi kutamanda Yehova, ndipo amene amasonkhanitsa pamodzi mphesa ndiwo amene adzamwe vinyo mʼmabwalo a Nyumba yanga.”
[10] Tulukani, dutsani pa zipata! Konzerani anthu njira. Lambulani, lambulani msewu waukulu! Chotsani miyala. Kwezani mbendera kuti mitundu ya anthu izione.
[11] Yehova walengeza ku dziko lonse lapansi kuti, Awuzeni anthu a ku Yerusalemu kuti, “Taonani, chipulumutso chanu chikubwera; Yehova akubwera ndi mphotho yake akubwera nazo zokuyenerani.”
[12] Iwo adzatchedwa Anthu Opatulika, owomboledwa a Yehova; ndipo adzakutchani “Okondwa a Yehova” “Mzinda umene Yehova sanawusiye.”
