25 Na kabili Yehova anjebele ati:
2 “We mwana wa muntu, losha icinso cobe ku bena Amone+ no kusesema ifyabipa ifikabacitikila.+
3 Kabili ufwile ukweba abena Amone auti, ‘Umfweni amashiwi ya kwa Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova. Ifi e fyo Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova alanda: “Apo walandile ati ‘Eya!’ ilyo bakoweseshe icifulo candi ica mushilo, ilyo icalo ca Israele cashele icibolya, na lintu aba mu ng’anda ya kwa Yuda babasendele bunkole,
4 ndekupeela ku bena Kabanga. Bakapanga inkambi* muli iwe kabili bakatanika amatenti muli iwe. Bakalya ifisabo fyobe, bakanwe no mukaka obe.
5 Nkalenga Raba+ ikabe impanga ya mulemfwe umwa kuti ingamila shikalelya, kabili nkalenga icalo ca bena Amone cikabe umwa kutuushisha impaanga; e lyo mukeshiba ukuti nine Yehova.”’”
6 “Pantu Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila: ‘Pa mulandu wa kuti walitootele+ no kulisha inshindo kabili walisekelele* pa calo ca Israele no kucitumfya,+
7 nkafungulwila ukuboko kwandi pali iwe pa kuti nkakupeele ku nko, nasho shikakupoka ifipe. Nkakufumya pa nko kabili nkonaula icalo cobe.+ Nkakulofya, kabili ukeshiba ukuti nine Yehova.’
8 “Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila: ‘Apo Moabu+ na Seiri+ balanda ati, “Moneni! Aba mu ng’anda ya kwa Yuda baba fye nge nko shonse,”
9 ndelenga abalwani ukusansa* imisumba ya kwa Moabu iyabela ku mipaka, imisumba iisuma* iya calo cakwe, Bete-yeshimote, Baali-meone, ukuyafika fye na ku Kiriataimu.+
10 Nkapeela Moabu pamo na bena Amone ku bena Kabanga,+ pa kuti abena Amone bekabala abebukishiwa mu nko.+
11 Kabili nkapingula aba mu Moabu,+ kabii bakeshiba ukuti nine Yehova.’
12 “Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila: ‘Edomu nalandula aba mu ng’anda ya kwa Yuda kabili nakwata umulandu uukalamba pali ifi alandwile;+
13 e ico Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila: “Na kabili nkafungulwila ukuboko kwandi pa calo ca Edomu no kwipaya abantu ne fitekwa, kabili icalo ca Edomu cikashala icibolya.+ Abantu bakafwa ku lupanga ukufuma ku Temani ukufika ku Dedani.+
14 ‘Nkalandula Edomu ukubomfya abantu bandi abena Israele.+ Bakakanda Edomu ukulingana no bukali bwandi kabili ukulingana ne fyo nkafulwa, pa kuti abena Edomu bakamone icilandushi candi,’+ e fyo Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova alanda.”’
15 “Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila: ‘Pa mulandu wa kuti abaPelishiti baba ne mpatila, balilandwile kabili balyonawile abena Israele ku mufulo fye.+
16 E ico Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila: “Moneni, ndefungulwila ukuboko kwandi pa baPelishiti,+ kabili nkalofya abena Kerete,+ nkonaula na bashalapo aba ku lulamba lwa bemba.+
17 Nkabaletela icilandushi ilyo nkabakanda ninshi nimfulwa, kabili bakeshiba ukuti nine Yehova ilyo nkabaletela icilandushi.”’”
