Efuraimu Adya Mphepo
Phunziro la mbiri yakale logwiritsidwa ntchito ngati mlandu wa Atate wathu. Yakobo anagwira chidendene cha m'bale wake ndi kulimbana ku Beteli; zidzukulu zake tsopano zikuthamangitsa mphepo ya kum'mawa, kuchita mapangano ndi Asuri, ndi kugwiritsa ntchito masikelo achinyengo pamene akuumirira kuti palibe angapeze cholakwa mwa iwo. Bwererani, gwirani chikondi ndi chilungamo, yembekezani.
12 1Efuraimu amadya mphepo nathamangitsa mphepo ya kummawa tsiku lonse; aunjika mabodza ndi chiwawa. Apangana pangano ndi Asiriya, ndipo mafuta awo atengedwera ku Iguputo. 2Atate wathu ali ndi mlandu ndi Yuda, ndipo adzayimba Yakobo mlandu chifukwa cha njira zake; monga mwa ntchito zake adzamubwezera. 3Ali m'mimba anagwira chidendene cha m'bale wake, ndipo mu mphamvu zake analimbana ndi Atate wathu. 4Analimbana ndi mthenga napambana; analira napempha chifundo chake. Ku Beteli anamupeza, ndipo kumeneko anayankhula nafe. 5Atate wa magulu ankhondo akumwamba—Atate wathu ndilo dzina limene amakumbukiridwa nalo. 6Choncho inu—bwererani kwa Atate wanu; gwiritsitsani chikondi cha pangano ndi chilungamo, ndipo dikirani Atate wanu nthawi zonse.
7Wogulitsa ali ndi masikelo achinyengo m'manja mwake—amakonda kupondereza anzake. 8Efuraimu anati, “Haa, koma ndalemera; ndadzipezera ndekha chuma. Pa ntchito zanga zonse, sadzapeza cholakwa mwa ine—palibe chimene chili tchimo ndithu.”
9“Koma Ine ndine Atate wanu, amene ndinakutulutsani mu dziko la Iguputo; ndidzakukhazikitsaninso m'mahema, monga m'masiku a phwando loyikika. a a v9 Phwando loyikika ndi Sukoti (Phwando la Misasa), pamene Aisiraeli anakhala m'mahema kapena m'misasa ya kwakanthawi pokumbukira zaka za m'chipululu. 10Ndinayankhula ndi aneneri; ndine amene ndinachulukitsa masomphenya, ndipo kudzera mwa aneneri ndinapereka mafanizo.”
11Ngati Giliyadi ndiwo woyipa, akhala achabe; ku Giligala amapereka ng'ombe zamphongo nsembe—maguwa awo ansembe nawonso ali ngati milu ya miyala pa mizere ya munda. 12Yakobo anathawira ku dziko la Aramu; kumeneko Isiraeli anagwira ntchito chifukwa cha mkazi, ndipo chifukwa cha mkazi anaweta nkhosa. 13Kudzera mwa mneneri Atate wathu anatulutsa Isiraeli ku Iguputo, ndipo kudzera mwa mneneri anasungidwa. 14Efuraimu wautsa mkwiyo wowawa; choncho Atate wake Wolamulira adzasiya mlandu wake wa magazi pa iye ndipo adzamubwezera chifukwa cha mnyozo wake.
