17 Efraimu wabatikana ndi ŵangoza mlekeni yija.
Viyo ndinguŵazomerezga kuruta mu unonono wa mtima wawo, ndi kuchita vyose vyo wangukhumba.
Mo ndinguŵadaniya, ndimu so ŵangutuwiyako kwaku ine; ŵangurutiriya kupereka sembe ku ŵaBala, ndi kuŵawoche vyakununkhira ŵangoza.
Lipanga likaŵanga pa misumba yawo, kudumuwa mipiringizgu ya malikomo ghawo ndi kuŵamara mu malinga ghawo.
Efraimu wakhwema mphepo; wandondoloska mphepo yaku vuma zuŵa lose, watandaniska mautesi ndi nkhaza; wapangana phanganu la maronda ndi Asiriya, ndipo mafuta ghapingikiya ku Egipiti.
Ndipo sono wanangiyanangiya, ndi kujipangiya vikozgu vyakusongono, ŵangoza ŵakupangika umampha ndi siliva wawo, vyose ndi nchitu ya fundi. Ŵatiti, “Perekani sembe ku ŵangoza.” Sono ŵanthu ŵa fyofyontha mathole!
Ndipuuli munthu wareke kutendeka munyake, ndi wareke munthu kupacha munyake; chifukwa ine nditendekana ndi iwe, wa mzukuru.
Warekeni: mbachirongozgi ŵachiburumutiya. Ndipo asani wachiburumutiya warongozga wachiburumutiya, wose ŵaŵi ŵawenge mu zenje.”
Mzira-urunji yo wachite so uzira-urunji: wawiyu yo waŵe so wawiyu: murunji yo wachitenge urunji: ndipo wakupaturika wajaririyenge so wakupaturika.”
