9 Muwachitire zomwe munachitira Amidiyani, monga munachitira Sisera ndi Yabini ku mtsinje wa Kisoni.

Njengalokhu umlilo uhangula igusu kumbe ilangabi lilumathisa izintaba,
15 kotero muwathamangitse ndi mphepo yamkuntho, ndi kuwachititsa mantha ndi namondwe.
kanjalo basukele ngesivunguvungu sakho ubethuse ngesiphepho sakho.
16 Muphimbe nkhope zawo ndi manyazi kuti adzafunefune dzina lanu Yehova.
Bahuqe ubuso babo ngehlazo ukuze abantu balidinge ibizo lakho, Oh Thixo.

Sengathi bangayangeka lanini badunyazwe; kungathi bangafa belehlazo.
18 Adziwe kuti Inu amene dzina lanu ndi Yehova, ndinu nokha Wammwambamwamba pa dziko lonse lapansi.
Yenza bakwazi ukuthi wena, obizo lakho unguThixo ukuthi wena wedwa ungoPhezukonke emhlabeni wonke.
