Ulwimbo lwa Nyimbo

3 “Ilyo naleele pa busanshi bwandi ubushiku,

Nalefwaya uo natemwa.*+

 2 Nkema fye nkaye mu kumufwayafwaya mu musumba;

Mu misebo na mu mansa

Nkayefwaya uo natemwa.*

 4 Awe cilya nafuma fye apo bansangile

E lyo nasangile uo natemwa.*

Nalimwikete, kabili nshamulekele aya,

Nasukile namuleta mu ng’anda ya kwa mayo+

Mu muputule wa mu kati uwa wanjimite.

 5 Mwe bana banakashi ba mu Yerusalemu, ndemweba nati lapeni

Pa mpombo atemwa pa nsebula ishikota isha mu mpanga:

 6 “Cinshi ici icilefuma mu matololo nge ntumba ya cushi,

Ico basansako muri* no bubani bwabuuta

Ne fya buunga buunga fyonse ifyanunkila bwino ifya kwa shimakwebo?”+

Impalume 60 bonse nabayashinguluka,

Abaume ba maka aba mu bena Israele,+

 8 Cila muntu ali no lupanga,

Bonse balisambilila ifya kulwa inkondo,

Cila muntu ali no lupanga lwakwe mu musana

Pa kuicingilila ku balwani ubushiku.”

 9 “Macila* ayo Imfumu Solomone

Yaipangiile ne fimuti fya ku Lebanone.+

10 Amolu ya macila ayo yapangile yali ya silfere,

Apa kushintilila pali apa golde.

Apa kwikala pali apakashikila,

Mu kati ka macila mwaliyemfiwe bwino

Abana banakashi ba mu Yerusalemu e bayemfeshemo.”

11 “Mwe bana banakashi ba mu Sione fumeni,

Mumone Imfumu Solomone

Naifwala icisote ca bwinga* ico nyina+ aipangiile

Pa bushiku bwa bwinga bwaiko

Pa bushiku umutima waiko wasekelele.”
