Palibe mkono wamphamvu kapena gulu lalikulu la anthu lidzafunike kuti auzule ndi mizu yake yomwe. 10Ngakhale wabzalidwa, kodi udzakula bwino? Kodi sudzauma kotheratu pamene mphepo ya kummawa idzauwomba uwo—udzafota pa munda pamene unamera?”
11Ndipo mau a Atate wathu anafika kwa ine, kuti:

Awuze kuti, Mfumu ya Babeloni inafika ku Yerusalemu, nitenga mfumu yake ndi nduna zake, nabwerera nao ku Babeloni. 13Inatenga mmodzi wa ana a banja laufumu, nachita naye pangano molumbira, natenga anthu otsogolera a m'dziko, 14kuti ufumuwo utsitsidwe, usadzauke, koma posunga pangano lake ukhale ndi moyo. 15Koma Zedekiya anawukira mfumu ya Babeloni, natumiza amithenga ku Igupto kukafuna akavalo ndi gulu lalikulu la nkhondo. Kodi adzapambana? Kodi amene achita zimenezi adzapulumuka? Kodi akhoza kuswa pangano, nkupulumuka?’
16“Pali Ine wamoyo, ati Atate Wolamulira, adzafera ku Babeloni, kumene kukhala mfumu imene inamuyika kukhala mfumu—amene lumbiro lake analinyoza, ndi pangano lake analiswa. 17‘Farao pamodzi ndi gulu lake lamphamvu la nkhondo ndi asilikali ake ochuluka sadzamuthandiza pa nkhondo, pamene mitumbira ya nkhondo idzamangidwa ndi malinga adzakwezedwa kuti athetse miyoyo yambiri. 18Ananyoza lumbiro, naswa pangano; anali atapereka dzanja lake, komatu anachita zonsezi—sadzapulumuka.’
19Choncho Atate Wolamulira akuti: “Pali Ine wamoyo, ndidzabweza pamutu pake lumbiro langa limene analinyoza, ndi pangano langa limene analiswa. 20‘Ndidzayala ukonde wanga pa iye; adzakodwa mu msampha wanga. Ndidzapita naye ku Babeloni, ndipo ndidzamuweruza komweko chifukwa cha chinyengo chimene anandichitira. 21Ankhondo ake amphamvu onse a m'magulu ake adzagwa ndi lupanga, ndipo otsala adzabalalitsidwa ku mphepo zonse. Pamenepo inu mudzadziwa kuti Ine, Atate wanu, ndayankhula.’
22Atate Wolamulira akuti: “Ine ndemwe ndidzatenga kaphukira pa nsonga yaitali ya mkungudza, ndipo ndidzakabzala. Pa timphukira take tapamwamba ndidzathyola kamphukira kofewa, ndipo Ine ndemwe ndidzakabzala pa phiri lalitali, lokwera kwambiri. a a v22 Pamene maufumu a anthu alephera, Atate wathu akulonjeza kubzala kamphukira kofewa ka Iye mwini—Mfumu imene ikudza ya mbadwa ya Davide, yokwaniritsidwa mwa Yesu, imene imakula kukhala ufumu umene umateteza mitundu yonse ya anthu. 23Pa nsonga ya phiri la Israeli ndidzakabzala, ndipo kadzatulutsa nthambi, nkapatsa zipatso, nkasanduka mkungudza wolemekezeka. Pansi pake mbalame za mitundu yonse zidzakhala, zimanga zisa m'mthunzi mwa nthambi zake. 24Ndipo mitengo yonse ya kuthengo idzadziwa kuti Ine ndine Atate, amene ndimagwetsa mtengo wautali, ndipo mtengo wotsika ndimaukweza, amene ndimawumitsa mtengo wobiriwira, nimtengo wowuma ndimauchititsa kuphuka. Ine, Atate, ndayankhula, ndipo ndidzachita.”
