8 Thawani pakati pa Babulo, turukani m'dziko la Akasidi, mukhale monga atonde patsogolo pa zoweta.
9 Pakuti, taonani, ndidzabukitsa ndidzafikitsa kudzamenyana ndi Babulo msonkhano wa mitundu yaikuru kucokera ku dziko la kumpoto; ndipo adzaguba pomenyana ndi iye; kumeneko Babulo adzacotsedwa; mibvi yao idzakhala ngati ya munthu wamaluli wamphamvu; yosabwera cabe.
10 Ndipo Kasidi adzakhala cofunkha; onse amene amfunkhitsa iye adzakhuta, ati Yehova.
11 Cifukwa mukondwa, cifukwa musekerera, inu amene mulanda colowa canga, cifukwa muli onenepa monga ng'ombe yamsoti yoponda tirigu, ndi kulira ngati akavalo olimba;
12 amai anu adzakhala ndi manyazi ambiri; amene anakubalani adzathedwa nzeru; taonani, adzakhala wapambuyo wa amitundu, cipululu, dziko louma, bwinja.
13 Cifukwa ca mkwiyo wa Yehova sadzakhalamo anthu, koma padzakhala bwinja; onse akupita pa Babulo adzadabwa, adzatsonyera pa zobvuta zace zonse.
14 Gubani ndi kuzungulira Babulo kumenyana naye, inu nonse okoka uta; mumponyere iye, osaderera mibvi; pakuti wacimwira Yehova.
