Ici cimonwa acimwene imyaka ibili ilyo kushilaba icinkukuma.+ 2 Atile:
“Yehova akabuluma mu Sione,
Akemya ne shiwi lyakwe mu Yerusalemu.
Ne mpanga sha mulemfwe isha bacemi shikaloosha,
Na fyonse ifyaba pa muulu wa Karmele fikooma.”+
3 “Yehova atila,
‘“Nshakaalule ifyo napingula abena Damaseke pa milandu* itatu na pa milandu 4 iyo bacitile,
Na pa fyo balepuma abena Gileadi kwati ni filya bapuma ingano ku fya kupuminako ifya fyela.+
4 E ico nkatuma umulilo pa ng’anda ya kwa Hasaele,+
Na o ukoca amayanda ya kwa Ben-hadadi+ aya malinga ayakosa.
5 Nkakontola imipindo ya pa mpongolo ya musumba wa Damaseke;+
Nkalofya abekashi ba mu Bikati-abeni
E lyo no uteka* mu Bet-edene;
Kabili abena Siria bakabasenda bunkole ku Kiri,”+ e fyo Yehova alanda.’
6 Yehova atila,
‘“Nshakaalule ubupingushi bwandi pa milandu* itatu na pa milandu 4 iyo abena Gasa+ bacitile,
Pantu basendele bankole bonse+ no kubapeela ku bena Edomu.
8 Nkalofya abekashi ba mu Ashidode,+
Nkabwesesha no kuboko kwandi pali Ekrone,+
Na baPelishiti abashalapo nkabalofya,”+ e fyo Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova alanda.’
9 Yehova atila,
‘Pa milandu* itatu na pa milandu 4 iyo abena Turi+ bacitile, nshakaalule ubupingushi bwandi,
Pantu bapeele bankole bonse ku bena Edomu,
Kabili balilabile icipangano ca bwananyina.+
11 Yehova atila,
‘Pa milandu* itatu na pa milandu 4 iyo abena Edomu+ bacitile, nshakaalule ubupingushi bwandi,
Pantu balekonka bamunyinabo no lupanga,+
Kabili tabalebomfwila uluse;
Balikalipe ica kuti balesantaula bamunyinabo,
Kabili balitwalilile ukuba ne cipyu kuli bena.+
13 Yehova atila,
‘“Pa milandu* itatu na pa milandu 4 iyo abena Amoni+ bacitile, nshakaalule ubupingushi bwandi,
Pantu balelepula amafumo ya banakashi abena Gileadi abaimita pa kuti bakushe imipaka yabo.+
14 Nkatuma umulilo pe linga lya Raba,+
Kabili ukoca amayanda ya malinga ayakosa,
Ilyo abashilika bakasansa umusumba, kukaba icongo ca nkondo,
Kabili kukaba icipuupu ca mwela icikalamba.
15 Kabili imfumu yabo bakaisenda bunkole, pamo na bacilolo ba iko,”+ e fyo Yehova alanda.’
