7 “Pa nthawe yomwe ndikufuna kupoza Jirayeri,Bzakuphonya bza Efraimu bzimbawonekera,Ndipo bzinthu bzakuipa bza Samariya bzimbawonekerambo,
Pakuti iwo ambacita bzinthu mwacinyengo;Mbava zimbapita m’nyumba ndipo thimu la akapondo limbadzonga bzinthu panja.
2 Tsono iwo ambakumbukira lini m’mitima mwawo kuti inepano nin’dzakumbukira bzinthu bzentse bzakuipa bzomwe akucita.
Tsapano bzicito bzawo bzawazungulira;Ndipo bziri pamaso pangu.
3 Iwo ambakondwesa mambo na bzakuipa bzawo,Ndipo ambakondwesambo nduna na cinyengo cawo.
4 Wentsenewo mbanyakucita upombo ayai uputa,Ambagaka ninga forno yomwe imbagasidwa na nyakuphika pau,Fornoyo yapsa kwene-kwene mwakuti iye an’funika lini kuiyeseraPomwe akumunya ufa na kudikhirira kuti bufufume.
5 Pa ntsiku ya phwando la mambo wathu, nduna zidaduwala*Ndipo zidakalipa thangwe ra vinyu.
Mamboyo adafuthula boko lace pabodzi na anyakunyoza.
6 Mitima yawo njakupsa ninga forno thangwe ambandofuna kucita bzakuipa bzokha-bzokha.
Nyakuphika pau ambakhala adagona usiku bwentse;Tsono kumacibese moto wa m’fornoyo umbagakiratu kwene-kwene.
7 Wentsenewo akutentha ninga forno,Ndipo akukhudyula atongi* wawo.
Amambo wawo wentse agwa;Ndipo palibe ne na m’bodzi wa iwo omwe akundicemera.
8 Efraimu wasanganizika na mitundu inango,
Efraimu ali ninga bolo la bololindo lomwe latokota mbali ibodzi.
9 Alendo atenga mphanvu zace, tsono iye alibe kuzindikira.
Tsisi lace lentse lina invi, tsono iye akudziwa lini.
10 Kubzikuza kwa Jirayeri kukupereka umboni bwakuti iye ngwakuipa,Tsono iwo alibe kubwerera kwa Yahova Mulungu wawo,Ndipo alibe kumunyang’ana napo kuti acita bzinthu bentsenebzi.
11 Efraimu ali ninga nkhangaiwa yakupusa yomwe imbakumbuka lini.
Iwo adakumbira thandizo Edjipito koma adayenda kwa Asiriya.
12 Kuli-kwentse komwe iwo ayende, nin’dzawateya na ukonde bwangu,
Nin’dzawagwesa pantsi ninga mbalame zomwe zikumbuluka m’dzaulu.
Nin’dzawalanga mwakubverana na cenjezo lomwe ndidawapasa.*
13 Tsoka kwa iwo thangwe rakuti andithawa!
Mbapfudzidwe thangwe rakuti andiphonyera!
Inepano ndikhafuna kuwalombola, tsono iwo alewa bzakunama pakulewa bza ine.
14 Iwo alibe kukumbira thandizo kwa inepano na mtima wawo wentse,Napo kuti akhalira mwakukuwa pa kama zawo.
Akhabziceka-ceka kuti akhale na tirigu na vinyu ipsa;Iwo adandipandukira.
15 Napo kuti ndawalanga ndicilimbisa manja yawo,Iwo andipandukira acindikonzera ciwembo.
16 Iwo abwerera, koma sikuti na cakulinga cakuti anamate bzacadidi,Iwo mbakuthembeka lini ninga uta bwakudamba.
Nduna zawo zin’dzaphedwa na xipada thangwe ra kulewa bzinthu bzakupusa.
Ndipopa iwo an’dzanyozedwa m’dziko la Edjipito.”
