3 Sadzakhala m'dziko la Yehova; koma Efraimu adza bwerera kumka ku Aigupto; ndipo adzadya cakudya codetsa m'Asuri.
4 Sadzatsanulira Yehova nsembe zavinyo; sizidzamkomera Iye nsembe zao; zidzakhala kwa iwo ngati mkate wa acisoni; onse akudyako adzadetsedwa; pakuti mkate wao udzakhala wa njala yao, uwu sudzalowa m'nyumbaya Yehova.
5 Mudzacitanji tsiku la masonkhano oikika, ndi tsiku la madyerero a Yehova?
6 Pakuti taonani, anacokera cionongeko, koma Aigupto adzawasonkhanitsa, Mofi adzawaika m'manda; khwisa adzalanda zofunika zao zasiliva; minga idzakhala m'mahema mwao.
7 Masiku a kulanga afika, masiku a kubwezera afika; Israyeli adzadziwa; mneneri ali wopusa, munthu wamzimu ali wamisala, cifukwa ca kucuruka mphulupulu yako, ndi popeza udani ndi waukuru.
8 Efraimu ndiye wozonda kwa Mulungu wanga; kunena za mneneri, msampha wa msodzi uli m'njira zace zonse, ndi udani m'nyumba ya Mulungu wace.
9 Anadzibvunditsa kwambiri, monga masiku a Gibeya; adzakumbukila mphulupulu yao, adzalanga zocimwa zao.
