KWAKWIHI na 670 B.C.E.

Hela chochu, hampinji yaswejeliyi Ashuri ñovu, kaprofwetu kaYehova washimwineñahu dehi nindi: “[Yehova] wakakisañana Ashuri . . . wakamubalumuna kwikala mahembi, kwominina chawu neyi isaña dakadi meji.” Kubombelahu, kaprofwetu kaYehova Nahumi niyena washimwineñahu dehi nindi: “Pupenu siliva yawu pupenu wuru wawu! . . . Washala dehi wamukunkulwayi, Mwosi nawa chumaku, kwachihembi hohu. . . . Antu ejima akakutala akakuchina, akela nawu, Nineve washesheka dehi.” (Zef. 2:13; Nahu. 2:9, 10; 3:7) Antu chatiyiliwu iwu wuprofwetu, hadaha adihwili nawu: ‘Ichi chuma chinateli kumwekana? Kudihu wunateli kumushinda Ashuri?’ Chamwekeni tuhu neyi chikutwesheka wanyi.
