3 Ovanthu vati: “Ine omulume umwe utaata omukai wae, ngwe tyina amemuyeke-po akakala nomulume omukwavo, haa omulume vapondola avelikondokela vali?”
Okuti otyilongo etyi katyasilisilwe atyiho?+
“Ove walinga ekunga walala novalume ovanyingi,+
Okuti upondola okunkhondokela vali?” o Siovaa wetyipopia.
2 “Yelula omaiho, tala ovipunda viehena eholi.
Opi ove wahalalelele nomulume?
Ove upumphama ponondyila otyo uvekevela,
Ulinga ngomunthu wiilauka* moluhandya, wehena eumbo.
Ove ukalela vala okusilisa otyilongo
Noukunga wove, novivi viove.+
3 Otyo ombila yahalokela vali,+
Kailoko vali pondyovo.
4 Pahe uliyava kwaame, uti:
‘Tate yange, ove upanga liange-ale nkhele tya pouna!+
5 Mokala umwe vala ngootyo tyanumana atee-tee,
Opake umwe vala onkhongo?’
Otyo, otyo ove upopia,
Mahi otyo ulinga vala ovivi aviho uvila.”+
6 Pononthiki mbohamba Sosiya,+ Siovaa amphopila ati: “‘Ove wetyimona tyilinga Isilayeli walinga omunthu wehewotyili? Wainduka konomphunda ambuho mbaya peulu, aende mombwelo yomiti aviho viavinda, ngo omo alingila oukunga.+ 7 Neetyi umwe alinga ovipuka ovio aviho, ame otyo ndyimupopila vala akondoke kwaame,+ mahi ahakondoka; Sundaa nae utala vala omukulu wae walungukila ovivi.+ 8 Etyi namona otyipuka otyo, andyihenge wokweenda nonombalehi, Isilayeli, andyimupe omukanda wokulihenga+ mokonda yokwelipa tyonombalehi.+ Mahi Sundaa ondenge yae wokwalungukila ovivi, ahatili owoma; nae alupuka, ekelipaka moukunga.+ 9 Oukunga wae* keulingi-ale otyinkhe, welipa umwe okusilisa otyilongo, onombalehi mbae omamanya, nomiti.+ 10 Hatyotyo vala, nkhele ondenge yae Sundaa wokwalungukila ovivi, kakondokele kwaame nomutima wae auho, mahi welikembesa,’ o Siovaa wetyipopia.”
11 Siovaa pahe amphopila ati: “Wonombalehi Isilayeli walinga* vali omuviukisi ku Sundaa wokwalungukila ovivi.+ 12 Enda kapopie onondaka ombu motyilongo kombanda:+
“‘“Kondoka, mphuki ove Isilayeli,” o Siovaa wetyipopia.’+ ‘“Ame himekutale tyankhia onyengo,*+ mokonda ndyi wonthyole yotyili,” o Siovaa wetyipopia.’ ‘“Himapangela vala onyengo. 13 Tavela vala okuti wapengesa, mokonda watyitukila-po Siovaa Huku yove. Ove otyali tyove* tyalinga otyinene kononthunda-vilongo,* uvepela-tyo mombwelo yomiti aviho viavinda, mahi kamwetavelele ondaka yange,” o Siovaa wetyipopia.’”
14 “Kondokei onwe nomphuki onwe,” o Siovaa wetyipopia. “Mokonda ame ame hekulu yenyi;* mandyimutambula, wike ndyimupola mepunda-umbo, vevali ndyivepola-mo monombunga nonombunga, mandyimutwala no ko Siyau.+ 15 Mandyimupe ovanthita vo komutima wange,+ mavekumupa onkhuta yenoñgonoko nekungunyiko. 16 Onwe mamukalinga ovanyingi, mamukaeta ovinyango motyilongo, pononthiki opo,” o Siovaa wetyipopia.+ “Ovanthu kamavakati vali, ‘Otyikasa tya Siovaa Tyomphango!’ No komutima vala katyikeyako, kamaveketyihinangela vali, hamwe avetyiivaluka; ngwe kamatyikalingwa-lingwa vali. 17 Pononthiki mbatyo opo, mavakati o Selusalei otyipundi tya Siovaa;+ ovanthu vovilongo aviho mavakaongiywa mo Selusalei vankhimaneke enyina lya Siovaa;+ kamavakatesa vali onkhango avalandula omitima viavo viovivi.”
18 “Pononthiki opo, veumbo lya Sundaa no veumbo lya Isilayeli mavakaendela kumwe,+ ava veli oku, ava veli oku, mavakatundila kumwe kotyilongo tyo kombanda avaende no motyilongo napele onombwale mbenyi tyilinge tyepingo liavo.+ 19 Ame nati-vo, ‘Ove nekupaka umwe povana vange, nekupa otyilongo otyiwa, epingo ewa liatyo movanthu* vovilongo!’+ Tupu natile-vo mamunthi “Tate,” kamamundyeke-po mamundandula. 20 ‘Mahi soka mwalinga ngomukai wanepwa womaiho omale utyindamena omulume wae,* noonwe otyo mwalinga, umbo lya Isilayeli, mwanthyindamena,’+ o Siovaa wetyipopia.”
21 Kovipunda viehena eholi kweivala okukwata epupa,
Kwalila, kweivala okuliyava, ovanthu vo mo Isilayeli,
Mokonda ondyila yavo veipengaisa;
Ku Siovaa Huku yavo valimbwa-ko.+
22 “Kondokei, vana onwe onomphuki.
Ame mandyimuhakula momukalelo wenyi amutundu-mo.”+
“Tuli pano! Tweya no kwoove,
Mokonda ove, Siovaa, ove Huku yetu.+
23 Ngwe tyili, ovipunda, nondyakato iivalela konomphunda okwekuta vala.+
Mokonda mwene mu Siovaa Huku yetu, omo muna eyovo lya Isilayeli.+
