2 “Apwanne muchu onanwerya ophariheliwa ni Muluku?
Apwanne muchu a miruku onanwerya okhala amphurelo wa yoowo?
3 Apwanne Aikuru Soothene onnapwacha* waakhala wi mwa muchu awookololowa,
Naari akhweya apwanne owo onnaphuravo echu wa nthowa na meecelo anyu awookololowa?
4 Apwanne owo onahaala woolakaani
Ni woothorihaani nthowa na omoova?
5 Tahi wa nthowa na soonanara sanyu itempe waaca
Ni soohesa sanyu ihinakuchuwa?
6 Tiwi, munnakuxa mweemeseryo wa asinninyu ohirivo nthowa,
Nave munnawaakha achu soowara saya, mwaahiyaka eepwitikiri ene.
7 Hamunamvaha maahi muchu yoowo okomme
Nave munnakhwatiiha yoolya wa muchu yoowo ovoliwe.
8 Elapo ti ya muchu oowerya,
Nave yoole onacicimihiwa onamaka mwemmo.
9 Nto nyuwaano mwaanaarowiha anaamukhwele mataru,
Nave mwaaniintaka miwono sa ikwaasuni.*
10 Ti nthowa nene murukureriwaanyu ni miraakho,
Nave woopopiha onnootutuxaani;
11 Ti nthowa nene epiiphi yoohuruwenlaayaani, muhinawerya woona,
Nave maahi oosareya yoominryaayaani.
12 Apwanne Muluku hari osuluxa opwaha wirimu?
Nave moone tho itheneeri, iho iri osuluxa.
13 Nto nyuwo muni: ‘Tiheeni Muluku osuwenleiye chiryene?
Apwanne owo onanwerya othoriha mu epiiphi etokweenexa?
14 Meeku aamuhuruwela yoowo,
Mwawiihiiha, vaavaa oneeceiye moorukurerya wirimu, hanawerya onoona.’
15 Apwanne nyuwaano munahaala ochara iphiro sakhalai,
Mwemmo alipa oonanara murima yeecaayamo,
16 Achu yaawo yaakuxiwe* ehaakumve ophiya elukuluku aya,
Yaawo mathipelo aya yaaworiwe ni maahi oosareya?*
17 Awo yaanaloca wa Muluku eeparipari: ‘Munihiye meekhiihu!
Tiheeni Aikuru Soothene onaweryeiye opaka wa hiyaano?’
18 Nyenya ti Yoowo aasareihale ipa saya ni ichu saphaama.
(Muupuwelo yoola wootakhala ori ocai wa miyaano.)
19 Awookololowa murima anamoona otoloxiwa waya nave anamuhakalala,
Nave oohikhalano nthowa onamwaatheya, ariki:
20 ‘Amwiicani ahu aatoloxiwa,
Nave mooro onamweeyela ichu saya ihanle.’
21 Mmusuwele Yoowo nave munamukhala mmureceleni,
Hiihaa, munarwa moona ichu saphaama.
22 Mweemererye nlamulo nnakhuma mwaano mwawe,
Nave mukhapelele mmurimani mwanyu seiho onaloceiye.
23 Wakhala wi moomukookela Aikuru Soothene, munarwa mutikitheryiwa wanaawiili.
Mwaviihamo ohookololowa mmuxakalani mwanyu,
24 Mwamurihela ooru anyu vanchupini
Nave mwamurihela ooru a Ofiiri mmiyala sa mmikotini,
25 Hiihaa, Aikuru Soothene toni akhale ooru anyu,
Nave owo onamukhala eparata anyu yaphaamaxa.
26 Tiwi, munamuhakalala vamiithoni va Aikuru Soothene,
Nave munamviiha ethoi anyu wa Muluku.
27 Munampaka mavekelo a vathi va murima wa yoowo, nave owo onamoowiriyanaani;
Nave munamwaakhwaniherya malakano anyu.
28 Yeeyo muneeraanyu mulakeleleke opaka enamukhumelelaka phaama,
Nave omwaleela onamwaaryelaka ephiro anyu.
29 Tiwi mwaloca mwawiirumiha, munamuulihiwa muru,
Nto owo onarwa aavuluxa awiiyeviha.*
30 Owo onamwaavuluxa oohikhalano nthowa;
Hiihaa, wakhala wi mata anyu taphaama, chiryeene munarwa mvuluxiwa.”
