2 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, pakhana akazi awiri omwe akhali wana wa mai m’bodzi.
3 Iwo akhali maputa ku Edjipito, ndipo adacita uputabo kuyambira pomwe akhali atsikana. Kumweko adaphatidwa masuku yawo, ndipo masuku yawo ya paudende yadaphatidwa-phatidwa.
4 Dzina la mkulu ni Ohola* ndipo mng’ono wace ni Oholiba.* Iwo adadzakhala wangu ndipo adabereka wana wacimuna na wacikazi. Pakulewa bza madzina yawo, Ohola ni Samariya ndipo Oholiba ni Jeruzalemu.
5 “Ohola adacita uputa uko akhali wangu. Iye akhafuna kwene-kwene akwende wace omwe ni Asiriya, omwe akhali azivizinyu wace.
6 Iwo akhali magovernadori wakubvala bzakubvala bza azuli na wakuimikira magovernadori. Wentse akhali maswaka yakudeka ndipo akhambapakira makavalo.
7 Iye adapitiriza kucita uputa na wana wentse wakubvekera wa Asiriya, ndipo adabzipswipiza na bzifanikiso bzakunyantsa* bza wale omwe iye akhawafuna kwene-kwene.
8 Iye alibe kusiya uputa bomwe akhacita ku Edjipito, pakuti Aedjipitowo akhacita naye malume ya pamphasa kuyambira pomwe iye akhali mtsikana. Iwo adaphata-phata masuku yace pomwe akhali dende, ndipo akhalatiza kuti akhamufuna kwene-kwene.
9 Ndipopa ndam’pereka m’manja mwa akwende wace, omwe ni wana wa Asiriya, omwe akhamufuna kwene-kwene.
10 Iwo adamukhundula acimusiya pezi, adatenga wana wace wacimuna na wacikazi aciyenda nawo ku ukapolo ndipo adamupha na xipada. Iye adakhala na mbiri yakuipa pakati pa akazi anzace ndipo adalangidwa.
11 “Pomwe m’bale wace Oholiba adawona bzimwebzi, cikhumbo cace cakufuna amuna cidathumizirika kwene-kwene ndipo adacita uputa kwene-kwene kuposa m’bale wace.
12 Iye akhafuna kwene-kwene azivizinyu wace omwe akhali wana wa Asiriya, magovernadori na wakuimikira magovernadori, amuna omwe akhabvala bzakubvala bzabwino kwene-kwene omwe akhambapakira makavalo na maswaka yentse yakudeka.
13 Pomwe iye adakhala wakupswipa, ndidawona kuti wentse awiri akhacita bzibodzi-bodzi.
14 Tsono iye adalemweratu kucita uputabo. Iye adawona bzifanikiso bzacimuna bzidanembedwa pa parede, bzifanikiso bza Akalideya bzakupintaridwi na kore ifuira.
15 Ibzo bzikhadabvala bande* m’ciuno na duku mu msolo, bzikhawoneka ninga acikunda ndipo bzentse bzikhaimira wanthu wa ku Babiloniya omwe akhadabadwira ku dziko la Akalideya.
16 Pomwe iye adawawona, adayamba kuwasirira kwene-kwene ndipo adatumiza mitumi kuti iyende ku Kalideya.
17 Tenepo wana wa ku Babiloniya akhabwera kudzacita naye malume ya pamphasa pa kama pace, ndipo adapswipizidwa na cikhumbo cawo camphanvu.* Pomwe iwo adamala kumupswipiza, iye adanyantsidwa nawo kwene-kwene aciwasiya.
18 “Pomwe adapitiriza kucita uputa mwakusaya manyazi acimbabziwoneresa kwa wanthu, inepano ndidanyantsidwa naye ndipo ndidamusiya ninga momwe ndidanyantsidwira na m’bale wace ndicimusiya.
19 Ndipo iye adapitiriza na uputa bwace, acimbakumbusira m’ntsiku zomwe akhali mtsikana, pomwe akhambacita uputa m’dziko la Edjipito.
20 Iye akhasirira kwene-kwene akwende wace* ninga momwe ambacitira azimakhadzi wa amuna omwe ana cidzo ninga ca bulu na omwe ana cidzo ninga ca kavalo.
21 Udasuwa khalidwe lako lakuipa lomwe ukhanalo pomwe ukhali mtsikana ku Edjipito, pomwe akhakuphata-phata masuku pa nthawe yomwe ukhali mtsikana.
22 “Tenepo iwe Oholiba, Yahova Mbuya Mkululetu walewa kuti: ‘Nin’nyosa akwende wako omwe iwepo ukhadanyantsidwa nawo uciwasiya ndipo nin’wabweresa kuti adzanyosane nawe kucokera kumbali zentse.
23 Wana wa ku Babiloniya na Akalideya wentse, amuna wa ku Pekodi, amuna wa ku Sowa na wa ku Kowa pabodzi na wana wentse wa Asiriya. Wentsenewa ni maswaka yakudeka, magovernadori na wakuimikira magovernadori, anyankhondo na amuna wakusankhulidwa, wentse ambapakira makavalo.
24 Iwo an’dzabwera kudzamenyana nawe ndipo pakufika, kun’dzabveka baludya la ngolo za nkhondo na maroda yace, an’dzabwera na acikunda azinji, bzakukhotcerera bzikulu-bzikulu na bzing’ono-bzing’ono* pabodzi na makapaseti. Iwo an’dzakuzungulira m’mbali zentse ndipo inepano nin’dzakulekerera kuti akutonge, ndipo an’dzakutonga ninga momwe iwo akufunira.
25 Nin’dzakulatiza ciya cangu ndipo iwo an’dzakucitira bzinthu mwaukali. An’dzagwata mphuno yako na makutu yako ndipo anyakusala wako an’dzafa na xipada. Iwo an’dzatenga wana wako wacimuna na wacikazi, ndipo anyakusayala wako an’dzapsa na moto.
26 Iwo an’dzakukhundula bzakubvala ndipo an’dzakutengera bzinthu bzako bzakubzidekesera.
27 Nin’dzamalisa khalidwe lako lakuipa na uputa bwako, bomwe udabuyambira ku dziko la Edjipito. Iwepo un’dzasiya kuwanyang’anisa ndipo un’dzakumbukira lini pomwe bza Edjipito.’
28 “Pakuti Yahova Mbuya Mkululetu walewa kuti: ‘Inepano nin’kupereka m’manja mwa wanthu omwe iwepo umbawawenga, wale omwe udanyantsidwa nawo uciwasiya.
29 Iwo an’dzakucitira bzinthu mwa ciwengo, an’dzakutengera bzinthu bzomwe udabzigumana thangwe ra kuphata basa mwa nyongo ndipo an’dzakusiya pezi. Wanthu wentse an’dzakuwona uli pezi-pezi, an’dzawona bzinthu bzentse bzakunyantsa bzomwe ukhacita ndipo uputa bwako bun’dzawonekera padeca.
30 Iwepo un’dzabonera na bzinthu bzimwebzi thangwe udatewera mitundu ya wanthu ninga puta, ndipo udabzipswipiza na bzifanikiso bzawo bzakunyantsa.
31 Iwepo udacita bzinthu ninga momwe adacitira m’bale wako ndipo nin’dzaikha kopo yace m’manja mwako.
32 “Yahova Mbuya Mkululetu walewa kuti:
‘Iwepo un’dzamwera m’kopo ikulu na yakuzika ya m’bale wako,Ndipo un’dzakhala cinthu cakusekesa na cakunyozedwa, thangwe m’kopomo muna bzizinji.
33 Iwepo un’dzakundidwa* na kuledzera pabodzi na msunamo,Kopo ya nyathwa na yakupfudza,Kopo ya m’bale wako Samariya.
34 Iwepo un’dzafunika kudzamwa bza m’kopomo mpaka kubzimaliza, ucidzanyenyena kopoyoNdipo un’dzazula masuku yako.
“Pakuti ndine omwe ndidalewa,” walewa tenepo Yahova Mbuya Mkululetu.’
35 “Tenepo Yahova Mbuya Mkululetu walewa kuti: ‘Pakuti iwepo wandiyebwa* ndipo walatiza kuti ulibe nande basa, un’dzabonera thangwe ra khalidwe lako lakuipa na uputa bwako.’”
36 Tenepo, Yahova adandiuza kuti: “Iwe mwana wa munthu, kodi iwepo un’kalewa bza kutongedwa kwa Ohola na Oholiba pabodzi na bzinthu bzakunyantsa bzomwe iwo acita?
37 Iwo acita uputa ndipo ana mulopa m’manja mwawo. Iwo alibe kundocita uputa na bzifanikiso bzawo bzakunyantsa, koma adatenthambo pamoto wana omwe adandiberekera, aciwapereka ninga cakudya kwa bzifanikiso bzawo.
38 Kuthumizira bzimwebzi, iwo adandicitirambo ibzi: Adapswipiza mbuto yangu yakucena pa ntsiku imweyire ndipo adapswipizambo masabudu yangu.
39 Pa ntsiku imweyo, pomwe adamala kupha wana wawo kuti awapereke ninga ntsembe kwa bzifanikiso bzawo bzakunyantsa, iwo adapita pa mbuto yangu yakucena kuti aipswipize. Ndibzo bzomwe iwo adacita m’nyumba mwangu.
40 Mpaka iwo adatumiza mtumi kuti akacemere amuna wakutali. Pomwe iwo akhafika, iwepo udasamba, udapintali maso yako ndipo udabzidekesa.
41 Iwepo wakhala pa mpando wakudeka omwe uli patsogolo pa meza, ndipo waikha bzakununtcirisa na mafuta yangu pa meza imweyo.
42 Kumweko kukhabveka baludya la thimu la wanthu omwe akhalibe thupo na cinthu ciri-centse, ndipo pakati pawo pakhana aledzeri omwe akhacokera m’dambo. Iwo adabvazika akazi mapulsera ndipo adawabvazikambo korowa zakudeka m’misolo mwawo.
43 “Tenepo ine ndidalewa pakulewa bza ule omwe waneta kucita uputa kuti: ‘Tsapano iye an’pitiriza kucita uputa bwacebo.’
44 Iwo akupitiriza kuyenda kukagumana naye, ninga momwe ambacitira munthu omwe akuyenda kukagumana na mkazi puta. Tenepo, adakagumana na Ohola na Oholiba, azikazi omwe ana khalidwe lakuipa.
45 Tsono wanthu wakulungama an’dzawalanga, ninga momwe ambalangira wanthu omwe ambacita uputa na anyakupha wanthu, pakuti iwo ni maputa ndipo m’manja mwawo muna mulopa.
46 “Tenepo Yahova Mbuya Mkululetu walewa kuti: ‘Lin’dzatumizidwa thimu la anyankhondo kwa iwo kuti adzakhale cinthu cakupasa mantha kwa winango na cakupambidwa.
47 Thimu la anyankhondolo lin’dzawaboma na minyala ndipo lin’dzawapha na xipada. Iwo an’dzapha wana wawo wacimuna na wacikazi ndipo an’dzatentha nyumba zawo na moto.
48 Ine nin’dzamalisa khalidwe lakuipa m’dzikolo ndipo akazi wentse an’dzapfunza na bzimwebzi ndipo an’dzatewezera lini khalidwe lako lakuipa.
49 Iwo an’dzakulangani thangwe ra khalidwe lanu lakuipa na pikado zanu zomwe mudacita na bzifanikiso bzanu bzakunyantsa. Ndipo imwepo mun’dzadziwa kuti ine ndine Yahova Mbuya Mkululetu.’”
