31 1Tsoka kwa amene amapita ku Igupto kukafuna thandizo, amene amadalira akavalo, amene amakhulupirira magaleta chifukwa ndi ochuluka, ndi okwera pa akavalo chifukwa ali amphamvu kwambiri—koma saona kwa Woyera wa Israeli, Atate wathu, ndiponso samfunafuna Iye. 2Komatu Iye nayenso ndi wanzeru ndipo amabweretsa tsoka; sabwezeretsa mau awo. Adzaukira nyumba ya anthu oipa ndi thandizo la amene amachita zoipa. 3Aigupto ndi anthu osati Mulungu; akavalo awo ndi thupi osati mzimu. Atate wathu akadzatambasula dzanja lawo, wothandiza adzapunthwa ndipo wothandizidwa adzagwa, ndipo onse adzatheratu pamodzi.
4Pakuti Atate wathu anati kwa ine: Monga mkango kapena mwana wa mkango ubangula pa nyama yake yimene wagwira—ndipo ngakhale gulu la abusa litaitanidwa kuti liukire, mkangowo sunjenjemera ndi kufuula kwawo kapena kuchita mantha ndi phokoso lawo—momwemonso Atate wa magulu ankhondo a Kumwamba adzatsika kudzamenya nkhondo pa Phiri la Ziyoni ndi pamwamba pake. 5Monga mbalame zouluka mmwamba, momwemonso Atate wa magulu ankhondo a Kumwamba adzateteza Yerusalemu; adzateteza ndi kupulumutsa, adzaudutsa ndi kuupulumutsa.
6Bwererani kwa Iye amene ana a Israeli anamfulatira kwambiri. 7Pakuti tsiku limenelo munthu aliyense adzakana mafano ake a siliva ndi mafano ake a golide, amene manja anu enieni anakupangirani mochimwa.
8Ndipo Asiriya adzagwa ndi lupanga losati la munthu, ndipo lupanga losati la anthu lidzamuwononga. Adzathawa pamaso pa lupanga, ndipo anyamata ake adzagwetsedwa pa ntchito yaukapolo. 9Linga lake lidzagwa chifukwa cha mantha, ndipo akalonga ake adzathawa ndi mantha akuona mbendera ya nkhondo, ati Atate wathu, amene moto wake uli mu Ziyoni ndipo ng'anjo yake ili mu Yerusalemu.
