Isaiya
31 Vana venda ko Isitu okukaovola okukwateswako, ngongo yavo!+
Vana vayumba onthumbi mononkhambe,+
Vana vayumba onthumbi momatemba omanyingi-nyingi ovilwa,
No mononkhambe mbovilwa* mokonda mbuna ononkhono.
Mahi kavahatekela Komukwa-ukola wa Isilayeli,
Kavaovola Siovaa.
2 Mahi nae omunongo, makaeta ehanyauno,
Kamelikondoka ahafwisapo etyi apopia.
Makakatuka akalwisa eumbo lyo vokulinga ovivi,
Akalwisa vana vakwatesako vokulinga etyi tyapenga.+
3 Ova Isitu ovanthu vala, kavaelekwa na Huku,
Ononkhambe mbavo ohitu vala, kambukahi nga Huku wahamonwa,+
Tyina Siovaa amatandaveka okuvoko kwae,
Una ukwatesako vakwavo mekelipunduka,
Una ukwateswako makatoka.
Aveho mavakankhila kumwe.
4 Mokonda Siovaa wamphopila okuti:
“Ngeetyi onkheyama, ewena lionkheyama liokwapama* lionena kombanda yetyi liakwata,
Tyina ovanthita aveho velikongolola opo veilwise,
Kaitumphuluka tyina vaulula,
Nii kaitili owoma tyina vaviela,
Ongootyo Siovaa womambamba ovita, makalinga tyina alauka,
Opo alwile Omphunda Siyau notyipunda tyayo.
5 Ngeetyi tyilinga omaila, ongootyo Siovaa womambamba ovita makayakulila o Selusalei.+
Mekeiyakulila, eiyovola.
Mekeikwatesako, eiyovola.”
6 “Kondokei ku Una onwe mwatyitukila-po tyawina, onwe vanthu vo Isilayeli.+ 7 Mokonda monthiki omo, munthu na munthu makayala ovika-huku viae viopalata vihasilivila novika-huku viae vioolu vihasilivila, vina vialingwa nomavoko enyi omakwankhali.
8 Omu Asilia makankhia komutunga, omutunga uhe-womunthu.
Omutunga, omutunga umwe uhe-womunthu oo maukemulia.+
Ngwe makahateka mokonda yomutunga,
Ovakwendye vae avakapewa ovilinga vialema.
9 Onkhanda yae kamaikakala-ko vali mokonda yowoma.
Ovatumini vae mavakateketa mokonda yotyipandyi tyenyingilikilo.” O Siovaa wetyipopia,
Una wokuna otyimimi* mo Siyau nofolono yatokota mo Selusalei.
