2 Ndipo ngati akufunsa iwe kuti, ‘Kodi tipite kuti?’ uwawuze kuti, ‘Yehova akuti, “‘Oyenera kufa adzafa; oyenera kufa ndi lupanga adzafa ndi lupanga; oyenera kufa ndi njala adzafa ndi njala; oyenera kupita ku ukapolo adzapita ku ukapolo.’
3 “Ine ndidzawatumizira mitundu inayi ya zinthu zowononga,” akutero Yehova, “lupanga lowapha, agalu owaluma, mbalame zamumlengalenga ndiponso zirombo zoti ziwadye ndi kuwawononga.
4 Ndidzawasandutsa kukhala chinthu chonyansa kwa anthu a maufumu onse a dziko lapansi chifukwa cha zimene Manase mwana wa Hezekiya mfumu ya Yuda anachita mu Yerusalemu.
5 “Kodi adzakumvera chisoni ndani, Yerusalemu? Kodi adzakulira ndani? Kodi ndani amene adzapatuka kufunsa za moyo wako?
6 Inu mwandikana Ine,” akutero Yehova. “Inu mukubwererabe mʼmbuyo. Choncho Ine ndidzakukanthani. Ndatopa ndi kukuchitirani chifundo.
7 Ine ndidzakubalalitsani kukuchotsani mʼmizinda ya mʼdzikomo monga mmene amachitira ndi mankhusu popeta ndi lichero. Anthu anga ndinawaliritsa ndi kuwawononga chifukwa sanasinthe makhalidwe awo oyipa.
8 Ndinachulukitsa amayi awo amasiye kupambana mchenga wa kunyanja. Amayiwo ndinawawonongera ana awo aamuna dzuwa lili pamutu. Mwadzidzidzi ndinawagwetsera kuwawa mtima ndi mantha.
9 Mayi wa ana asanu ndi awiri wakomoka ndipo akupuma wefuwefu. Dzuwa lake lalowa ukanali usana; anamuchititsa manyazi ndipo wathedwa nzeru. Otsala ndidzawapereka mʼmanja mwa adani awo kuti awaphe ndi lupanga,” akutero Yehova.
10 Kalanga ine, amayi pakuti munandibereka ine, munthu amene ndikutsutsana ndi kulimbana ndi anthu pa dziko lonse! Ine sindinakongoze kapena kukongola kanthu, komatu aliyense akunditemberera.
11 Yehova anati, “Ndithudi, Ine ndidzakulanditsa kuti upeze bwino. Ndithudi, adani ako adzakupempha pa nthawi ya tsoka ndi ya mavuto awo.
12 “Palibe munthu amene angathe kudula chitsulo, makamaka chitsulo chochokera kumpoto chosakaniza ndi mkuwa.
13 Anthu ako ndi chuma chako ndidzazipereka kwa ofunkha popanda malipiro, chifukwa cha machimo anu onse a mʼdziko lanu lonse.
14 Ndidzakusandutsani akapolo a adani anu mʼdziko limene inu simulidziwa, chifukwa mkwiyo wanga wayaka ngati moto umene udzakutenthani.”
15 Ine ndinati, “Inu Yehova, mumadziwa zonse; kumbukireni ndi kundisamalira. Ndilipsireni anthu ondizunza. Ndilezereni mtima musandilande moyo wanga. Onani momwe ndi kuvutikira chifukwa cha Inu.
16 Munandiyankhula ndipo mawu anu ndinawalandira bwino. Mawu anu anandipatsa chimwemwe ndipo mtima wanga unasangalala. Paja ine, Yehova Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse, ndimadziwika ndi dzina lanu.
17 Sindinakhale nawo mʼgulu la anthu amadyera, sindinasangalale nawo anthu amenewo. Ndinakhala ndekha chifukwa choti dzanja lanu linali pa ine ndipo munadzaza mu mtima mwanga ndi mkwiyo.
18 Nanga nʼchifukwa chiyani mavuto anga sakutha? Bwanji chilonda changa sichikupola? Kodi inu mudzakhala ngati mtsinje wowuma nthawi yachilimwe, kapena ngati kasupe wopanda madzi?”
19 Tsono Yehova anandiyankha kuti, “Ukabwerera kwa Ine, ndidzakulandiranso ndipo udzakhalanso mtumiki wanga. Ngati udzayankhula mawu oyenera osati achabechabe, udzakhalanso mneneri wanga. Anthu adzabwera kwa iwe ndipo sipadzafunika kuti iwe upite kwa iwo.
20 Ndidzakusandutsa ngati khoma lolimba ngati mkuwa kwa anthu awa. Adzalimbana nawe koma sadzakugonjetsa, pakuti Ine ndili nawe kukulanditsa ndi kukupulumutsa,” akutero Yehova.
21 “Ndidzakupulumutsa mʼdzanja la anthu oyipa ndipo ndidzakuwombola kwa anthu ankhanza.”
