4 “Nkaposha ukubulwa icishinka kwabo.+ Nkabatemwa fye ne mwine,+ pantu ubukali bwandi nabufuma pali bena.+ 5 Nkaba ngo mume kuli Israele.+ Akabalula nge luba, no kulimba imishila yakwe ngo muti wa mu Lebanone. 6 Utumisambo twakwe tukafuma, no bukata bwakwe bukaba ngo muolife,+ kabili akalanunkila bwino kwati muti wa mu Lebanone. 7 Bakekala mu cintelelwe cakwe na kabili.+ Bakalima ingano, no kubalula ngo mwangashi.+ Abantu bakalalanda pali ena nga filya balanda pa mwangashi wa mu Lebanone.
8 “Efraimu akatila, ‘Bushe utulubi twa nshi kuli ine kabili?’+
“Nine nkaasuka kabili nkalalolesha pali ena.+ Naba ngo muti wa mukupri uwalelema.+ Muli ine e musangwa ifisabo fyobe.”
9 Nani uwa mano, uwingomfwikisha ifi fintu?+ Nani uwashilimuka, uwingafishiba?+ Pantu inshila sha kwa Yehova shalitambalala,+ kabili abalungama e bakendamo;+ lelo bampulamafunde bakaipununamo.+
