2 Lalikirani mwa amitundu, falikitsani, kwezani mbendera; falikitsani, musabise; munene, Babulo wagwidwa, Beli wacitidwa manyazi, Merodake watyokatyoka, zosema zace zacitidwa manyazi, mafano ace atyokatyoka.
3 Pakuti mtundu wa anthu udzaturuka kumpoto kudzamenyana naye, udzacititsa dziko lace bwinja, losakhalamo anthu; athawa, apita, anthu ndi nyama.
4 Masiku omwewo, nthawi yomweyo, ati Yehova, ana a Israyeliadzadza, iwo ndi ana a Yuda; pamodzi adzayenda m'njira mwao alinkulira, nadzafuna Yehova Mulungu wao.
5 Adzafunsira Ziyoni nkhope zao zirikuyang'ana kumeneko, ndi kuti, Tiyeni inu, dzilumikizeni kwa Yehova m'cipangano ca muyaya cimene sicidzaiwalika.
6 Anthu anga anakhala nkhosa zotayika; abusa ao anazisokeretsa pa mapiri onyenga; acoka kuphiri kunka kucitunda; aiwala malo ao akupuma.
7 Onse amene anazipeza anazidya; adani ao anati, Sitiparamula mlandu, cifukwa iwo anacimwira Yehova, ndiye mokhalamo zolungama, Yehova, ciyembekezo ca atate ao.
8 Thawani pakati pa Babulo, turukani m'dziko la Akasidi, mukhale monga atonde patsogolo pa zoweta.
