Unafuna ine kusudzula ale adaendeswa ku ubitcu mbandiabweresa mu Yuda na mu Yerusalemu,+
2 Ine ndinadzagumanyambo madzindza onsene a anthu

Penepo ine ndinadzaatonga,+
Thangwi pidacita iwo kuna mbumba yanga na unthaka wanga Izraeli,
Thangwi iwo abalalisa mbumba yanga pakati pa madzindza,

6 Pontho mwakwata anthu a ku Yuda na a ku Yerusalemu mbamuagulisa kuna Agerego,+
Toera kuaendesa kutali kakamwe na dziko yawo;

11 Imwe madzindza onsene anakhala dhuzi, gumanyikanani, bwerani, pontho phedzanani!’”+
Imwe Yahova citisani kuti anyankhondo anu amphambvu abwere pa mbuto ineyi.
12 Imwe anthu a madzindza anango, lamukani, pontho bwerani ku Gowa ya Yosafate;
Thangwi ine ndinadzakhala kweneko toera kutonga madzindza onsene anakhala cifupi.+
13 Pitisani sikeya thangwi wafika ndzidzi wakubvuna.

14 Mwinji na mwinji wa anthu uli pa gowa yakutongera miseru,
Thangwi ntsiku ya Yahova iri dhuzi na pa gowa yakutongera miseru.+
15 Dzuwa na mwezi pinadzasiya kugaka,

16 Yahova anadzakhuwa ninga nkhalamu mu Sioni,
Iye anadzagaluza fala yace mu Yerusalemu.
Kudzulu na dziko yapantsi pinadzatekenyeka;
Mbwenye Yahova anadzakhala mbuto yakuthawira kuna mbumba yace,+
Mbuto yacitsidzikizo cakuwanga kuna mbumba ya Izraeli.
17 Pontho imwe munadzadziwa kuti ine ndine Yahova Mulungu wanu anakhala mu Sioni, phiri yanga yakucena.+
Yerusalemu inadzakhala mbuto yakucena,+
Pontho anthu a madzindza anango nee anadzapitabve na mwenemo.+
18 Pa ntsiku ineyi, mʼmapiri munadzadjodja vinyu yakutapira,+
Nthunda zinadzawewa nkaka,
Pontho mikulo yonsene ya ku Yuda inadzawewa madzi.
Panyumba ya Yahova panadzabuluka mphuno ya madzi,+
Pontho madzi anewa anadzathirira Gowa* ya Miti ya Mikexa.
19 Mbwenye Ejitu anadzakhala madembe,+
Pontho Edhomi anadzakhala thando yakusowa pinthu,+
Thangwi ya uphanga unacitirwa mbumba ya Yuda,+
Akuti mu dziko yawo apha anthu akusowa mulando.+
20 Mbwenye mu Yuda ndzidzi onsene munadzakhala anthu,
Pontho mu Yerusalemu munadzakhala anthu mu ubalwi na ubalwi.+
