²Khalani chete inu anthu okhala mʼmbali mwa nyanja,

³Pa nyanja zazikulu

⁴Chita manyazi, iwe Sidimu

⁵Mawuwa akadzamveka ku Igupto,

⁶Wolokerani ku Tarisisi,

⁷Kodi uwu si mzinda wachisangalalo uja,

⁸Kodi ndani anakonza zimenezi kuti zigwere Turo, mzinda umene unakhazikitsa mizinda ina,

⁹Yehova Wamphamvuzonse anakonza zimenezi

¹⁰Mubalalike mʼdziko mwanu ngati mtsinje wa Nailo

¹¹Yehova watambasula dzanja lake kuloza ku nyanja

¹²Iye anati, “Simudzakondwanso konse,

¹³Onani dziko la Ababuloni,

¹⁴Lirani mofuwula, inu anthu oyendetsa sitima za pa madzi za ku Tarisisi;

¹⁵Pa nthawi imeneyo Turo adzayiwalika pa zaka 70, amene ndi masiku a moyo wa mfumu. Koma potsiriza pa zaka 70 zimenezi, Turo adzakhala ngati mkazi wachiwerewere woyimbidwa mu nyimbo:

¹⁶“Tenga zeze wako uzungulire mzinda,

¹⁷Pakutha pa zaka 70, Yehova adzachitapo kanthu pa Turo. Iye adzabwerera ku ntchito yake yakale monga mkazi wachiwerewere ndipo adzachita zachiwerewere ndi maufumu onse a dziko lapansi.
