6 “Bwerani, tendeni tibwerere kuna Yahova,
Thangwi iye atikhwedzula-khwedzula,+ mbwenye anatiwangisa.
Iye atiphekesa, mbwenye anapyangirira pironda pyathu.
2 Pakupita ntsiku ziwiri, iye anaticitisa pontho kukhala mʼmaso.
Pa ntsiku yacitatu, iye anadzatilamusa,
Mbatikhala na umaso pamaso pace.
3 Ife tinadzadziwa Yahova, tinadzawangisira toera kundziwa mwadidi.
Kubwera kwace ndi kwakunyindirika ninga pinacita dzuwa namacibese;
Iye anadzabwera kuna ife ninga madzi akubvumba,
Ninga madzi a caka akuti asabvumba mbatotesa kakamwe mataka.”
4 “Ndinacitanji na iwe Efraimu?
Ndinacitanji na iwe Yuda?
Thangwi ufuni wako ndi ninga nkhungwi namacibese,
Ninga bume yakuti mwakukhonda dembuka isamala.
5 Natenepa, ndinadzaphatisira aprofeta toera kuamalisa;+
Ine ndinadzaapha na mafala a pamulomo panga.+
Pontho kutongwa kwanu kunadzayetimira ninga ceza.+
6 Thangwi ine ndisakomerwa na ufuni wakukhonda mala,* tayu ntsembe,
Pontho ndisakomerwa na udziwisi wa Mulungu, tayu na ntsembe zonsene zakupiswa.+
7 Mbwenye iwo ninga anthu akudawa, nee atowezera cibverano.+
Iwo andisandukira pa mbuto ineyi.
9 Nsoka wa anyantsembe wakhala ninga nsoka wa mapanga anadikhira anthu panjira.
Iwo asapha anthu panjira inaenda ku Sikemu,+
Thangwi makhaliro awo ndi akupasa manyadzo.
10 Ine ndaona pinthu pyakuipa kakamwe pinacita dzindza ya Izraeli.
11 Imwe mbumba ya Yuda, wakhazikiswa ndzidzi ninga ndzidzi wakubvuna toera imwe mugumanywe,
Anthu a mbumba yanga adaendeswa ku ubitcu ine ndinadzaagumanya toera abwerere ku dziko yawo.”+
