¹Aßan aßin li quixye li profeta chirixeb laj Damasco: —Damasco incßaß chic tâcanâk joß tenamit. Tâpoßekß ut juqßuinbil tâcanâk.

¹Chirevo pamusoro peDhamasiko. Tarirai, Dhamasiko robviswa, rirege kuzova guta, richava dongo rakakoromoka.

²Eb li tenamit li cuanqueb Aroer teßcanâk chi mâcßaß chic cristian. Eb li carner teßcuaßak aran ut mâ ani tâseßbesînk reheb saß li naßajej aßan.

²Maguta eAroeri asiiwa; achava mafuro ezvipfuwo, zvichavatapo pasi, zvisina anozvivhundusa.

³Mâcßaßak chic lix tenamit li ralal xcßajol laj Efraín li queßxcauresi ribeb. Ut mâcßaßak chic xcuanquil Damasco. Eb laj Siria li incßaß queßsacheß ruheb xutânal teßcanâk joß eb laj Israel, chan li nimajcual Dios.

³Nhare ichabviswa panaEfuremu, noushe paDhamasiko; vakasara veSiria vachava sembiri yavana vaIsiraeri, ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha wehondo.

⁴Saß eb li cutan aßan tâsachekß lix cuanquilaleb li ralal xcßajol laj Jacob. Ut tâsachekß ajcuiß lix biomaleb.

⁵Zvichafanana nenguva kana mucheki achiunganidza zviyo mumunda, achicheka hura noruoko rwake; zvirokwazvo zvichafanana nokuunganidza hura pamupata weRefaimi.

⁶Incßaß chic qßui li cristian li teßcolekß Israel. Chanchan li cheß olivo nak nachikßeß. Natßaneß chixjunil li ru. Cuib oxib aj chic nacana saß li rußuj malaj ut saß eb li rukß. Lâin li Kâcuaß, lix Dioseb laj Israel, ninyehoc re aßin.—

⁷Nezuva iro vanhu vachatarira Musiki wavo, meso avo achaona Mutsvene waIsiraeri.

⁸Havangatariri aritari, iro basa ramaoko avo; zvakaitwa nemimwe yavo havangavi nehanya nazvo, kana iri miti yakatsaurwa kana mifananidzo yezuva.

⁹Saß eb li cutan aßan, eb li tenamit li cauresinbileb chi us re xcolbaleb rib teßtzßektânâk joß eb li tenamit li queßsacheß nak xeßêlelic chiruheb laj Israel. Chanchanakeb chic li ru li cheß li xcanabâc toj saß rußuj. Eb li tenamit teßcanabâk chi mâcßaß chic cuan chi saß.

⁹Nezuva iro maguta avo akasimba achaita samatongo kumatondo napamisoro yamakomo, akasiiwa nokuda kwavana vaIsraeri; achava matongo.
