¹“Pitani uku ndi uku mʼmisewu ya Yerusalemu,

²Ngakhale anthu akulumbira kuti, ‘Pali Yehova wamoyo,’

³Inu Yehova, kodi suja mumafuna anthu onena zoona?

⁴Ndiye ndinati, “Awa ndi amphawi chabe;

⁵Tsono ndidzapita kwa atsogoleri

⁶Choncho mkango wochokera ku nkhalango udzawapha,

⁷Yehova akuti, “Kodi ndingakukhululukireni bwanji ndi zimene mwachita?

⁸Monga amachitira akavalo onenepa akamamemesa,

⁹Tsono ndingaleke kuwalanga chifukwa cha zimenezi?”

¹⁰“Pitani ku minda yake ya mipesa ndi kukayiwononga,

¹¹Nyumba ya Israeli ndi nyumba ya Yuda

¹²Iwowa ankanama ponena za Yehova kuti,

¹⁸“Komabe pa masiku amenewo sindidzakuwonongani kotheratu,” akutero Yehova.

²¹Imvani izi, inu anthu opusa ndi opanda nzeru,

²²Kodi simuyenera kuchita nane mantha?”
