Uthenga Wonena za Afilisti
1 Uthenga umene Yehova anamupatsa mneneri Yeremiya wonena za Afilisti, Farao asanathire nkhondo Gaza ndi uwu:
2 Yehova akuti,
“Taonani mmene madzi akubwerera kuchokera kumpoto;
adzasanduka mtsinje wosefukira ndi a mkokomo.
Adzasefukira mʼdziko monse ndi kumiza chilichonse mʼmenemo,
mizinda ndi onse okhala mʼmenemo.
Anthu adzafuwula;
anthu onse okhala mʼdzikomo adzalira
3 akadzamva mgugu wa ngʼombe zazimuna zothamanga,
phokoso la magaleta ake
ndi kulira kwa mikombero yake.
Makolo sadzatembenuka kuti athandize ana awo;
manja awo adzangoti khoba.
4 Pakuti tsiku lafika
lowononga Afilisti onse
ndi kupha onse otsala,
onse amene akanatha kuthandiza Turo ndi Sidoni.
Yehova ali pafupi kuwononga Afilisti,
otsala ochokera ku zilumba za ku Kafitori.
5 Anthu a ku Gaza ameta mipala;
anthu a ku Asikeloni akhala chete.
Inu otsala a ku chigwa,
mudzakhala mukudzichekacheka mpaka liti?
6 “Mukulira kuti, ‘Aa, lupanga la Yehova,
kodi udzapumula liti?
Bwerera mʼmalo ako;
ukhale momwemo ndipo ukhale chete.’
7 Koma lupangalo lidzapumula bwanji
pamene Yehova walilamulira
kuti lithire nkhondo
Asikeloni ndi anthu a mʼmbali mwa nyanja?”
