26 Muli bulya bushiku, bakemba+ ulu lwimbo mu calo ca Yuda:+
“Twalikwta umusumba+ uwakosa.
Alenga ipusukilo lyaba ifibumba fya uko, kabili lyaba iloba ilyo batuulika mu mbali ya uko.+
3 Mukacingilila abantu abashintilila pali imwe ne mitima yabo yonse;*
Mukatwalilila ukubapeela umutende+
Pantu ni mwe bacetekela.+
5 Pantu nacefya abekala pa muulu, umusumba uwaba pa muulu.
Naikisha umusumba panshi,
Naikisha umusumba pe sonde;
Naupoosa mu lukungu.
6 Ulukasa lukaunyantaula,
Ulukasa lwa bo bacusha, amakasa ya bashakwata bakubafwa.”
7 Inshila ya walungama yalyololoka.*
Apo mwalilungama,
Mukawamya inshila ya balungama.
8 Ilyo tule-enda mu nshila yenu iya mulinganya mwe Yehova,
Tulamucetekela.
Twalicindika ishina lyenu* kabili tulafwaisha balelibukisha.*
9 Mu nshita ya bushiku ndamufwaisha no mweo wandi onse,
Umupashi wandi ulamufwaya;+
Pantu ilyo mwapingula isonde,
Abekala mu calo balasambilila ubulungami.+
11 Mwe Yehova, nangu ca kuti mwalimya ukuboko kwenu, tabakumona.+
Bakamona ifyo mwacincila pa bantu benu kabili bakomfwa insoni.
Umulilo wenu ukalya abalwani benu.
14 Balifwa; tabakabe no mweo.
Balifwa, tabakeme.+
Pantu mwalibakanda
Mwalibalofya pa kuti belabalandapo.
Namukusha sana imipaka yonse iya calo.+
16 Mwe Yehova, ilyo balecula baishile kuli imwe;
Bapongolwelele ipepo lyabo mu kantepentepe kuli imwe ilyo mwabasalapwile.+
17 Nga filya fine umwanakashi uuli mu kupaapa
Akalipwa kabili alila,
E fyo mulengele na ifwe tuleumfwa, mwe Yehova.
18 Twalimite kabili twaleumfwa ubukali pa kupaapa,
Lelo cali kwati twafyele umwela.
Tatwapuswishe icalo,
Takuli uwafyelwe uukekala mu calo.
19 “Abantu bobe abafwa bakaba no mweo.
Buukeni no kusekelela,
Mwe baba mu lukungu!+
21 Pantu moneni! Yehova aleisa ukufuma ku cifulo cakwe
Ku kulubulwisha abekala mu calo pa membu shabo,
Kabili icalo cikasokolola umulopa basuumishe muli cena,
Kabili tacakafise abo baipeye muli cena.”
