[1] Pemphani mvula kwa Yehova pa nthawi yamphukira; ndi Yehova amene amapanga mitambo ya mvula. Iye amagwetsa mivumbi ya mvula kwa anthu, ndi kumeretsa mbewu za mʼmunda kwa aliyense.
[2] Mafano amayankhula zachinyengo, owombeza mawula amaona masomphenya abodza; amafotokoza maloto onama, amapereka chitonthozo chopandapake. Choncho anthu amangoyendayenda ngati nkhosa zozunzika chifukwa chosowa mʼbusa.
[3] “Ine ndawakwiyira kwambiri abusa, ndipo ndidzalanga atsogoleri; pakuti Yehova Wamphamvuzonse adzasamalira nkhosa zake, nyumba ya Yuda, ndi kuwasandutsa ngati akavalo aulemerero ankhondo.
[4] Mu Yuda mudzachokera mwala wapangodya, mudzachokera chikhomo cha tenti, mudzachokera uta wankhondo, mudzachokera mtsogoleri aliyense.
[5] Onse pamodzi adzakhala ngati ngwazi zankhondo zoponda mʼmatope a mʼmisewu nthawi yankhondo. Chifukwa Yehova adzakhala nawo, adzachita nkhondo ndi kugonjetsa okwera pa akavalo.
[6] “Ndidzalimbitsa nyumba ya Yuda ndi kupulumutsa nyumba ya Yosefe. Ndidzawabwezeretsa chifukwa ndawamvera chisoni. Adzakhala ngati kuti sindinawakane, chifukwa ndine Yehova Mulungu wawo ndipo ndidzawayankha.
[7] Aefereimu adzakhala ngati ankhondo amphamvu adzasangalala ngati anthu amene amwa vinyo. Ana awo adzaziona zimenezi ndipo adzasangalala; mʼmitima mwawo adzakondwa mwa Ambuye.
[8] Ndidzaliza mluzu ndi kuwasonkhanitsa pamodzi. Ndithu ndawawombola; adzachulukana ngati poyamba paja.
[9] Ndinawamwaza pakati pa mitundu ina ya anthu, koma ku mayiko akutaliwo adzandikumbukira. Iwo pamodzi ndi ana awo adzapulumuka, ndipo adzabwerera.
[10] Ndidzawabweretsa kuchokera ku Igupto ndipo ndidzawasonkhanitsa kuchokera ku Asiriya. Ndidzawabwezera ku Giliyadi ndi ku Lebanoni, mpaka malo woti nʼkukhalamo adzatheratu.
[11] Adzawoloka nyanja ya masautso; nyanja yokokoma idzagonja ndipo madzi onse a mu Nailo adzaphwa. Kudzikuza kwa Asiriya kudzatha ndipo ndodo yaufumu ya Igupto idzathyoka.
[12] Ndidzalimbitsa iwo mwa Yehova ndipo adzayenda mʼdzina lake,” akutero Yehova.
