3 IAsiriya kayiyikusisindisa, kasiyikugada amabhiza; kasisayikutsho kuyo imisebenzi yezandla zethu ukuthi: Lingonkulunkulu bethu; ngoba kuwe intandane izatshengiswa umusa.
Asiria rentumi nnye yɛn; yɛrentena akofo apɔnkɔ so. Yɛrenka bio da se, ‘Yɛn anyame’ nkyerɛ nea yɛn ara de yɛn nsa ayɛ, na wo mu na ayisaa nya mmɔborɔhunu.”
4 Ngizakwelapha ukuhlehlela muva kwabo, ngizabathanda ngesihle, ngoba intukuthelo yami iphanjulwe kuye.

5 Ngizakuba njengamazolo kuIsrayeli; uzakhahlela njengomduze, agxilise impande zakhe njengeLebhanoni.

7 Bazabuyela abahlala emthunzini wakhe, bavuseleleke njengamabele, bakhahlele njengevini, isikhumbuzo sakhe sibe njengewayini leLebhanoni.
Nnipa bɛtena ne nwini ase bio. Obenyin ayɛ frɔmfrɔm te sɛ aburow. Ɔbɛfefɛw ayɛ frɔmfrɔm te sɛ bobe, na ne din a ahyeta bɛyɛ sɛ nsa a efi Lebanon.
8 Efrayimi, ngiseselani lezithombe? Mina ngimphendule, ngimnanzelele; ngibe njengefiri eliluhlaza; isithelo sakho sifunyanwa kimi.

9 Ngubani ohlakaniphileyo aqedisise lezizinto? Ngubani okhaliphileyo azazi? Ngoba indlela zeNkosi ziqondile, labalungileyo bazahamba ngazo, kodwa abaphambuki bazakhubeka kuzo.
