6 “Tsopano ine ndikutsekereza njira yake ndi mpanda waminga, ndipo ndidzamumangira mpanda wamiyala+ ndi kumutsekereza kuti asapeze njira zake.+ 7 Pamenepo iye adzathamangira amuna omukonda kwambiriwo, koma sadzawapeza.+ Adzawafunafuna koma sadzawapeza. Ndiyeno adzanena kuti, ‘Ndikufuna kubwerera kwa mwamuna wanga+ woyamba,+ pakuti zinthu zinali kundiyendera bwino nthawi imeneyo kusiyana ndi mmene zilili tsopano.’+ 8 Koma iye sanavomereze+ kuti ndine amene ndinali kumupatsa mbewu,+ vinyo wotsekemera* ndi mafuta. Sanavomerezenso kuti ndine amene ndinamuchulukitsira siliva ndi golide amene iye anali kumugwiritsa ntchito popembedza Baala.+
9 “‘Chotero ndidzatembenuka ndi kumulanda mbewu zanga pa nthawi yokolola. Ndidzalanda vinyo wanga wotsekemera pa nyengo yopanga vinyo.+ Ndidzamulandanso zovala zanga za ubweya wa nkhosa ndi nsalu zanga zimene amabisa nazo maliseche ake.+ 10 Tsopano ndidzamuvula kuti amuna omukonda kwambiriwo aone maliseche ake,+ ndipo palibe mwamuna amene adzamukwatula m’dzanja langa.+ 11 Pamenepo ndidzathetsa kusangalala kwake konse.+ Ndidzathetsa zikondwerero zake,+ chikondwerero cha tsiku lokhala mwezi,+ cha sabata ndi chikondwerero china chilichonse. 12 Ndidzawononga mitengo yake ya mpesa+ ndi ya mkuyu+ imene iye anali kunena kuti: “Imeneyi ndi mphatso imene amuna ondikonda kwambiri anandipatsa.” Koma ine ndidzachititsa mitengoyo kukhala ngati nkhalango,+ ndipo zilombo zakutchire zidzaidya ndi kuiwononga. 13 Ndiyeno ndidzamuimba mlandu+ chifukwa cha masiku amene anapembedza zifaniziro za Baala+ zimene anali kuzifukizira nsembe zautsi.+ Nthawi imeneyi anali kuvala mphete* yake ndi zinthu zake zodzikongoletsera.+ Iye anali kutsatira amuna omukonda kwambiri+ ndipo ine anandiiwala,’+ watero Yehova.
14 “‘Choncho ndidzalankhula naye ndi kumukhutiritsa kuti achoke ndi kupita kuchipululu,+ ndipo ndidzalankhula naye momufika pamtima.+ 15 Kuyambira nthawi imeneyo mpaka m’tsogolo ndidzamupatsa minda yake ya mpesa.+ Ndidzamupatsanso chigwa cha Akori+ kuti chikhale ngati khomo lachiyembekezo. Pamenepo adzayankha ngati mmene anali kuyankhira ali mtsikana,+ ngatinso mmene anayankhira pa tsiku limene anatuluka m’dziko la Iguputo.’+ 16 Yehova wanena kuti, ‘Pa tsiku limenelo adzanditcha kuti Mwamuna wanga, ndipo sadzanditchanso kuti Mbuyanga.’*+
17 “‘Sindidzamulola kutchulanso mayina a zifaniziro za Baala,+ ndipo iye sadzakumbukiranso mayina awo.+ 18 Pa tsiku limenelo ndidzachita pangano ndi chilombo chakuthengo,+ cholengedwa chouluka m’mlengalenga ndi cholengedwa chokwawa panthaka, kuti ndithandize anthu anga. Ndidzathyola uta ndi lupanga ndipo ndidzathetsa nkhondo padziko.+ Pamenepo ndidzawachititsa kukhala mwabata.+ 19 Ndidzalonjeza kukukwatira kuti ukhale wanga mpaka kalekale.*+ Ndidzalonjeza kukukwatira motsatira chilungamo, komanso chifukwa cha kukoma mtima kwanga kosatha ndi chifundo changa.+ 20 Ndidzalonjeza kukukwatira mokhulupirika ndipo udzadziwadi Yehova.’+
21 “Yehova wanena kuti: ‘Pa tsiku limenelo kumwamba ndidzakuyankha zopempha zake ndipo kumwambako kudzayankha zopempha za dziko lapansi.+ 22 Ndiyeno dziko lapansi lidzayankha mbewu,+ vinyo wotsekemera ndi mafuta, ndipo zimenezi zidzayankha Yezereeli.*+ 23 Pamenepo ndidzamufesa ngati mbewu zanga padziko lapansi.+ Ndidzachitira chifundo amene sanasonyezedwe chifundo+ ndipo ndidzauza anthu amene si anthu anga kuti: “Inu ndinu anthu anga,”+ ndipo iwo adzayankha kuti: “Inu ndinu Mulungu wathu.”’”+
