4 “Ndipo iwe, mwana wa munthu, utore njerwa na kuyiŵika panthazi pako. Udindepo msumba wa Yerusalemu. 2 Uwuzingilizge na ŵankhondo+ ndipo uzenge linga la nkhondo kuzingilizga msumba wose.+ Wimike chibumira chakulwerapo nkhondo+ ndiposo uzenge msasa wa ŵasilikari, kweniso uwuzingilizge na vilwero vyankhondo vyakugumulira.+ 3 Utore chibenekelero chachisulo ndipo uchiyimike nga ni linga lachisulo pakati pa iwe na msumba. Kufuma apo, ulazge chisko chako ku msumba kwimikana nawo, ndipo msumba uŵe wakuzingilizgika na ŵankhondo, iwe uwuzingilizge. Ichi ntchimanyikwiro ku nyumba ya Israyeli.+
4 “Ugonere kumazere na kuŵika kwananga kwa nyumba ya Israyeli pa iwe.+ Uyeghenge kwananga kwawo kuyana na unandi wa mazuŵa agho ugonerenge ku chigaŵa chimoza. 5 Nikupimirenge mazuŵa 390, kuyana na unandi wa vyaka vya kwananga kwawo.+ Ndipo iwe uyeghenge kwananga kwa nyumba ya Israyeli. 6 Iwe ufiske mazuŵa agha.
“Ndipo ugoneso pasi kachiŵiri, ugonere kumalyero. Ndipo uyeghenge kwananga kwa nyumba ya Yuda+ kwa mazuŵa 40. Nakupimira zuŵa limoza kwimira chaka chimoza, zuŵa limoza kwimira chaka chimoza. 7 Pamasinda, na woko lako lambura kudikiskika ukazgokere chisko chako ku msumba wa Yerusalemu+ wakuzingilizgika na ŵankhondo, ndipo ukachime kwimikana na msumba uwo.
8 “Wona! Nikukakenge na vingwe* kuti ungazgokeranga uku na uku chara, m’paka ufiske mazuŵa ghako ghakuti uwuzingilizge.
9 “Utore tirigu, balere, mandondo,* mphoza, malezi, na kusemeti ndipo uviŵike mu chiŵiya chimoza na kujipangira chingwa. Pakuti ndicho uryenge kwa mazuŵa 390 agho ugonerenge chigaŵa chimoza.+ 10 Zuŵa lililose upimenge na kurya chakurya chakukwana mashekele 20.* Uryenge pa nyengo zakutemeka.
11 “Umwenge maji ghakuchita kupima, ghaŵenge ghakukwana chigaŵa chimoza cha vigaŵa 6 vya hini.* Umwenge pa nyengo zakutemeka.
12 “Uzakarye nga ntchibama cha balere, uzakachiwotchere pamaso pawo ndipo mavi ghakomira gha ŵanthu ndigho ghazakaŵe nga ni nkhuni.” 13 Yehova wakayowoyaso kuti: “Umu ndimo Ŵaisrayeli ŵamulyera chingwa chawo chakufipirwa pakati pa mitundu iyo niŵambininiskirengeko.”+
14 Ndipo ine nkhati: “Nthena yayi, Fumu Yikuru Yehova! Kufuma pa wanichi wane m’paka sono nindafipiskikepo mwa kurya nyama yakuti yafwa yekha panji yakuti yatwazulika na chikoko,+ ndipo palije nyama yakufipirwa iyo yili kunjirapo pa mulomo wane.”+
15 Ntheura wakati kwa ine: “Napulika, nakuzomerezga kuti utore mavi gha ng’ombe m’malo mwa mavi gha ŵanthu, kuti ndigho ghaŵe nkhuni zakotchera chingwa chako.” 16 Wakatiso kwa ine: “Mwana wa munthu, sono nkhuphyora tumakuni* twa vingwa* mu Yerusalemu,+ ndipo ŵanthu ŵenjerwenge chomene pakurya chingwa chawo chakuchita kupima,+ kweniso ŵatenthemenge chomene pakumwa maji ghawo ghakuchita kupima.+ 17 Ichi chizamuchitika mwakuti para ŵazakasoŵa chingwa na maji, ŵazamuti waka zakaka pakulaŵiskana yumoza na munyake ndipo ŵazamughanda chifukwa cha kwananga kwawo.
