Isaiya
23 Onondaka mbokukoyesa o Tilu:+
Lilei nombaluku mbo Talisi!+
Mokonda omphangu yokutalamena onombaluku yahanywa-po. Katyitavela okwenda-po.
Otyo, vetyiholololelwa kotyilongo tyo Kitii.+
2 Muti filuu onwe vokukala konthele yelunga.
Ovakwa-vitanda vo ko Sindone,+ veiyulisa olumono.
Novikuna viokwateywa ko Nilu, nolukulu lwatyo, viendela komeva omanyingi.
Wapele ouhona ovanthu vovilongo.+
4 Kunda ove Sindone, mphangu yapama yo kelunga,
Mokonda elunga liati:
“Ame hakalele nomalwihamo okukutula, ame hakutulile,
Ame nii havelekele ovana ovakwendye nii hatekulile ovana ovakainthu.”*+
5 Ngeetyi ovanthu vakalele etyi veiva onondaka konthele yo Isitu,+
Mavekeihamenwa tyina vameivi onondaka konthele yo Tilu.+
6 Yaukei elunga, amweende ko Talisi!
Lilei onwe vokukala konthele yelunga!
7 Okuti eli, epunda-umbo liove liokweyula ehambu tundee kohale, tundee komivo vyo kohale-hale?
Onomphai mbalio mbulitwala kovilongo vyo kokule opo likakale-ko.
8 Olie watokolela ngootyo o Tilu,
O Tilu yokwaavaile oviuuya?
Yokwali novakwa-vitanda ovatumini,
Novanthu vonondando vahilivikwa kombanda yohi aiho?+
9 O Siovaa womambamba ovita wetyitokola,
Opo eipenyenyeke mokonda ilimphandela ouwa wayo,
Opo akundise vana ankho vankhimanekwa kombanda yohi aiho.+
10 Ove mona omukainthu wo Talisi, lambela motyilongo tyove Ngondongi Nilu,
Petupu vali apa patalamena onombaluku.*+
11 Ngwe watandaveka okuvoko kombanda yelunga.
Wateketesa omauhamba.
Siovaa watuma okuhanya-ko onomphangu mbokwapama mbo Fenisia.+
12 Wati: “Ove kumahambukwa vali,+
Ove wokulingwa onya, ove mona omukainthu wo Sindone.
Katuka, oyauka elunga, oende ko Kitii.+
Nako kumakavasako-ale omphangu yokupululukilwa.”
13 Tala! Otyilongo tyova Kalindeya.+
Ovanthu ava — ova Asilia havo-ko.+
Ovanthu ava ovo veityitula ofika yovinyama,
Vakatula ongandyo yomitala viovalavi,
Omitala viayo viokulava viokwapama, vevihanya-po,+
Aveityitula omatunthu.
14 Lilei nombaluku mbo ko Talisi,
Mokonda epunda-umbo lienyi liokwapama liahanywa-po.+
15 Monthiki omo, o Tilu kamaikahinangelwa momanima 70,+ omanima* ohamba ike ikala nomwenyo. Konthyulilo yomanima 70, o Tilu maikalingwa ngeetyi tyapopiwa motyiimbo tyekunga, tyokwati:
16 “Ove kunga liokuheiwe vali, kwata otyisandyi, oliseta-seta mepunda-umbo.
Hika nawa otyisandyi tyove.
Imba oviimbo ovinyingi,
Opo vekuhinangele.”
17 Konthyulilo yomanima 70, Siovaa makahinangela o Tilu, aihimbika vali okulinga etyi ankho ilinga, okulinga oumbalehi nonohamba ambuho mbo mouye, mbuli kombanda yohi. 18 Mahi olukulu lwayo, nevi ipola monondando mbayo, mavikalinga ovipuka vikola vya Siovaa. Kamavikaongiywa, tupu kamavikapakwa nawa, mokonda olukulu lwayo, malukakala lwa vana vakala ponthele ya Siovaa, opo valie avekuta, avavale ovikutu oviwa.+
