16 Udzabwera kudzalimbana ndi anthu anga Aisraeli ngati mtambo wophimba dziko. Masiku amenewo, iwe Gogi, ndidzabwera nawe kuti ulimbane ndi dziko langa, kuti anthu a mitundu ina andidziwe Ine, pamene ndidzaonetsa kuyera kwanga pa zimene ndidzakuchite iweyo.
17 “‘Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Kodi iwe si amene ndinayankhula za iwe masiku amakedzana kudzera mwa atumiki anga aneneri a Israeli? Pa zaka zambiri iwo ankalengeza kuti ndidzawutsa iwe kuti udzalimbane ndi Israeli.
18 Zimene chidzachitika pa tsiku limenelo ndi izi: Gogi akadzathira nkhondo dziko la Israeli, mkwiyo wanga woopsa udzayaka. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse.
19 Chifukwa cha mkwiyo ndi ukali wanga woyakawo Ine ndikunenetsa kuti pa nthawi imeneyo padzakhala chivomerezi chachikulu mʼdziko la Israeli.
20 Nsomba za mʼnyanja, mbalame zamumlengalenga, zirombo zakuthengo, cholengedwa chilichonse chimene chimakwawa pansi, ndiponso anthu onse okhala pa dziko lapansi, adzanjenjemera pamaso panga. Mapiri adzangʼambika, malo okwera kwambiri adzagumuka ndipo khoma lililonse lidzagwa pansi.
21 Ndidzawutsira Gogi nkhondo kuchokera ku mapiri anga. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova. Anthu a Gogiyo adzaphana okhaokha ndi malupanga.
