15 “‘Ayai ndicitumiza m’dzikomo bzirombo bza m’thengo ndipo bzirombobzo bzicipha wanthu omwe akukhala m’mwemo, dzikolo licikhala matere ndipo pacisaya kuwoneka munthu ali-wentse wakugwata m’mwemo thangwe ra bzirombobzo,
16 pana ine Mulungu wamoyo’ ndikulumbira kuti: ‘Napo amuna atatuwa angadakhala ali m’mwemo, iwo angadapulumusa lini wana wawo wacimuna ne wacikazi, koma angadapulumuka iwo okha basi ndipo dzikolo lingadakhala matere,’” walewa tenepo Yahova Mbuya Mkululetu.
17 “‘Ayai ndicibweresera xipada dzikolo ndicilewa kuti: “Xipada ipite m’dzikomo” ndipo iphe wanthu pabodzi na bzirombo,

22 Tsono winango an’dzasala ndipo an’dzapulumusidwa m’mwemo aciyenda kunja pabodzi na wana wacimuna na wacikazi. Iwo akubwera kudzagumana namwe. Imwepo mukadzawona njira zawo na bzicito bzawo, kulewa cadidi imwepo mun’dzatsangalazidwa na tsoka lomwe ndabweresera Jeruzalemu, inde, na bzentse bzomwe ndacitira mzindayo.’”
