4 Amalamulira nyanja ndipo imawuma;

Zomera za ku Basani ndi Karimeli zimawuma
ndipo maluwa a ku Lebanoni amafota.
5 Mapiri amagwedera pamaso pake
ndipo zitunda zimasungunuka.
Dziko lapansi limanjenjemera pamaso pake,

6 Ndani angathe kuyima pamaso pake Iye akalusa?
Ndani angapirire mkwiyo wake woopsa?
Ukali wake ukuyaka ngati moto;
matanthwe akunyeka pamaso pake.
7 Yehova ndi wabwino,
ndiye kothawirako nthawi ya masautso.
Amasamalira amene amamudalira,

9 Chiwembu chilichonse chimene akukonzekera kumuchitira Yehova

10 Iwo adzakodwa mu ziyangoyango za minga

adzatenthedwa ngati ziputu zowuma.
11 Kwa iwe, Ninive, kunachokera munthu wa cholinga choyipa,

amene amapereka uphungu woyipa.
12 Yehova akuti,
“Ngakhale Asiriyawo ali ndi abwenzi,

koma adzawonongedwa ndi kutheratu.
Ngakhale ndinakuzunza iwe Yuda,
sindidzakuzunzanso.
13 Tsopano ndidzathyola goli lake pa khosi lako
ndipo ndidzadula maunyolo ako.”
14 Yehova walamulira za iwe, Ninive kuti,
“Sudzakhala ndi zidzukulu
zimene zidzadziwike ndi dzina lako.
Ndidzawononga zifanizo zosema ndi mafano owumba
amene ali mʼnyumba ya milungu yako.
Ine ndidzakukumbira manda
chifukwa ndiwe woyipitsitsa.”
15 Taonani, pa phiripo,
mapazi a munthu amene akubweretsa nkhani yabwino,
amene akulengeza za mtendere!
Inu anthu a ku Yuda, chitani madyerero anu
ndipo kwaniritsani malumbiro anu.
Anthu oyipa sadzakuthiraninso nkhondo;
iwo adzawonongedwa kotheratu.
