5 Mu dine difuku’dya Debola+ pamo ne Balaka+ mwanā Abinoame baimba luno lwimbo+ amba:
3 Ivwanai, banwe balopwe! Tebekai matwi, banwe bendeji!
Nkembilanga Yehova.
Nkembanga mitendelo* kudi Yehova,+ Leza wa Isalela.+
4 Yehova, powatambile ku Seila,+
Powapityile utamba ku ntanda ya Edoma,
Ntanda yatenkene, ne madiulu apungulukile,
Makumbi apungulwile mema.
5 Ngulu yasungulukile* ku meso a mpala ya Yehova,+
Ne Shinai mwine ku meso a mpala ya Yehova,+ Leza wa Isalela.+
6 Mu mafuku a Shamakale+ mwanā Anate,
Mu mafuku a Yaile,+ mashinda ashele pululu;
Benda ñendo badi’nka mu mashinda a mufula.
7 Bekadi ba ku nja mu Isalela kebakidi’kopo;*
Kebakidi’kopo kufika’nka ne byonaimene ami, Debola,+
Kufika’nka ne byonaimene pamo bwa inabana mu Isalela.+
Ngabo keyadipo ikimweka, nansha mukobe,
Mu bukata mwa bantu 40 000 mu Isalela.
Tendelai Yehova!
10 Banwe batentamine pa bampunda batōkoloka,
Banwe bashikete pa matapi malumbuluke,
Ne banwe benda mu dishinda,
Langulukai!
11 Mawi a babanya mema atelekelwe ku bifuko kutomwa mema;
Kwine’kwa badi basekununa bilongwa byoloke bya Yehova,
Bilongwa byoloke bya bekadi bandi ba kunja mu Isalela.
Kupwa bantu ba Yehova batūkila ku bibelo.
12 Languka, languka, abe Debola!+
Languka, languka, imba lwimbo!+
Imana, Balaka!+ Sela misungi yobe, abe mwanā Abinoame!
13 Ebiya boba bashele batūkila kudi ba bulēme;
Bantu ba Yehova batūkila kondi tukalwe bankomokomo.
14 Nsulo yabo i Efelaimi, boba badi mu musanza;*
Bakulondanga, abe Benjemani, mu bukata mwa bantu bobe.
Tamba ku Makile+ bakatampe ba basola batūka,
Ne tamba ku Zebuluna boba baselele mukombo wa boba balemba bantu.*
15 Bamfumu ba Isakala badi na Debola
Mwadi mwikadile Isakala, mo mwadi mwikadile ne Balaka.+
Mu dilungu dya musanza watuminwe lwa nshi.+
Mu bibumbo bya Lubeni mwadi mityima ilangalanga bininge.
16 Mwanda waka ushikete pa bukata bwa mifuko ibidi ya pa bishikatwa,
Wibateja pobedila luombe tupindo twabo?+
Pa mwanda wa bibumbo bya Lubeni, kwadi mityima ilangalanga bininge.
I kutupu kitūtwa kya ndalama kyobaselele.+
20 Tamba mūlu ñenyenye yalwile;
Tamba mu mashinda ayo yalwile na Shisela.
Watyimpīle nkomokomo panshi, abe muya* wami.
22 Kupwa mikono ya tubalwe yatwa
Padi patumbuka tubalwe tulume masumba na bulobo.+
23 ‘Fingai Meloza mafingo,’ ye mwanenena mwikeulu wa Yehova,
‘Bine, fingai bekadi bakyo mafingo,
Mwanda kebailepo kukwasha Yehova,
Kukwasha Yehova pamo ne bakomokomo.’
24 Mu bana-bakaji bonso, mweselwe bininge i Yaile+
Mukaja Hebela+ mwine Kena;
I mweselwe bininge mu bana-bakaji bonso bashikatanga mu mapema.
25 Walombele mema; aye wamupa mabele.
Wamupa mabele mekwate*+ mu kibakudi kya masobo a bantu ba bulēme.
26 Na kuboko kwandi wayata kikomo kya ku pema,
Kuboko kwandi kwa lundyo kwayata kitotwa kya mutyi kya mwingidi.
Kadi wapopa Shisela, wamuponda mutwe,
Kadi wavingakanya ne kusabakanya pa matwi andi.+
27 Walakata mu maulu andi; wapona ne kulāla kitantala;
Walakata mu maulu andi wapona;
Popa paalakatyile, po ponka paaponēne munekenibwe.
28 Mwana-mukaji wadi utadila pa dididisha,
Inandya Shisela wibela pa tunyungilo,
‘Mwanda waka dikalo dyandi dibaije kwiya?
Mwanda waka mishindo ya mikono ya makalo andi ibalejeleje nenki?’+
29 Ba tunangu mu bana-bakaji ba bulēme bamulondolola;
Bine, ne aye nandi wadi wineneja, amba,
30 ‘Ye bano beabila bitūtwa byobatene,
Mwana-mukaji,* bana-bakaji babidi,* ku wa bulwi ne wa bulwi,
Kitūtwa kya kisandi kya misombelo i kya Shisela, kitūtwa kya kisandi kya misombelo,
Kivwalwa kitungule, kisandi kya misombelo, bivwalwa bibidi bitungule
I bya mu mashingo a boba batūtyile bintu.’
31 Nanshi leka balwana nobe bonso bakube,+ abe Yehova,
Ino leka boba bonso bakusenswe bekale bwa dyuba ditamba mu ntumbo yadyo.”
