“Ame ndyihinangela otyipuka welipakulile* poukainthu,+
Otyipuka unthyole etyi wali omuhikwena wange,+
Otyipuka wandandaulile momaluhandya,
Momapia ahakuninwe.+
3 Ova Isilayeli vali ovanthu vakola va Siovaa,+ vali ovikuna vyo tete ateya.”’
‘Aveho vahandele okuvelia-po, vavelwa onombei.
Ovihuna vieveendela,’ o Siovaa wetyipopia.”+
4 Tehelela ondaka ya Siovaa, ove umbo lya Sakoo
Noonwe nombunga ambuho mbeumbo lya Isilayeli.
5 Etyi otyo tyapopia Siovaa wati:
“Oityi onombwale mbenyi vamona mwaame tyapenga+
Tyevetwala unene kokule naame ñgaa,
Tyevepa okukalandula ovilolo viahasilivila,+ navo pahe avehesilivila vali?+
6 Ngwe soka kavatile: ‘Siovaa ulipi,
Ou wetupola kotyilongo tyo Isitu,+
Ou wetuhongolela, wetukwatesa moluhandya,
Motyilongo tyomaluhandya+ nomatoto,
Motyilongo tyehena omaande,+ tyinthikovela unene,
Motyilongo tyimwe mwahakwata-le ongendi
Mwahakala munthu nawike?’
7 Ame nemweta kotyilongo tyovinyango,
Mulie ovinyango viatyo novipuka viatyo oviwa.+
Mahi onwe mwehika-mo, amusilisa otyilongo tyange;
Epingo liange mwelityitula otyipuka tyitoyesa.+
8 Ovanakwa soka kavatile: ‘Siovaa ulipi?’+
Ava vena Otyitumino kavendyi,
Ovanthita vanthyitukila-po,+
Ovauli vapopia menyina lya Mbaale,+
Avalandula mu ava vehena-le otyiwa vevepa.
9 ‘Onondaka mbetu noonwe kamambupu,’+ o Siovaa wetyipopia,
‘Mandyikakala nonomphela novana vovana venyi.’
10 ‘Yaukei elunga amwende atee kehimba* lyo Kitii,+ amutale;
Otyo umwe, tumei omunthu ko Kendale,+ amutale nawa;
Talei ine nthiki imwe mwamwene-ale otyipuka ngeetyi:
11 Okuti pena ovanthu votyilongo tyimwe vakumanene ono huku mbavo novipuka vieheno-huku?
Mahi ovanthu vange vakumana omunkhima wange neetyi tyahasilivila.+
12 Tyitalei otyipuka etyi, tyimuhanunukise, onwe vokuli komaulu;
Teketei tyowoma,’ o Siovaa wetyipopia,
13 ‘Mokonda ovanthu vange valinga ovipuka vivali viapenga:
Vandyeka-po, ame ndyivi-ndyivi yomaande omwenyo,+
Avekeliheyela* ononyombo,
Ononyombo mbunyina omeva, mbahakala nomaande.’
14 ‘Isilayeli omuundapi vala ine omupika watyitilwa meumbo?
Naina, oityi apakulilwa apundwe?
15 Ononkhulika mbelilumba mbemukomena,+
Mbaononona.
Otyilongo tyae vetyilinga otyilongo tyitilisa owoma.
Omapunda-umbo ae apakwa otupia, asiwa tyehena omunthu.
16 Ovanthu vo Nofe,*+ novo Tafene,+ vapela* pombalanganga yomutwe wove.
19 Ovivi viove ñgeno ovio vikulonga,
Okwehetavela kwove, ñgeno oko kukuviyula.
Makela-ko, noove tyimona okuti otyivi, tyilula+
Okuyeka-po Siovaa Huku yove;
Ove kunthili owoma,’+ o Tatekulu Ohamba Onene Siovaa womambamba ovita wetyipopia.
20 ‘Ame kohale nateyaile okanga yove+
Andyitipaula omalienge ove.
Mahi ove wati: “Himekulingila;”
21 Ame nekutwika ngomuti wonouva mbukuhuka wokupepa kwatyo,+ ombuto yatyo mwene;
Oñgeni ove watukuka kwaame, opiluluka olingi omuti wonouva wohika?’+
22 ‘Ove upondola okulikoha umwe nawa nondyapau onyingi,
Mahi onombei mbove mambulingi ñgoo vala onkhako komaiho ange,’+ o Tatekulu Ohamba Onene Siovaa wetyipopia.
23 Oñgeni uti: ‘Ame hasilile.
Halandulile ovo Mbaale?’
Nkhele tala evi walingaila melola.
Soka vala evi walinga.
Ove ukahi ngekamelu endema, lihateka unene,
Liehei oku malieende nako, likuva-kuva vala,
24 Ngotyimbulu tyo mofika tyetyiliya vala movipembe,
Tyifimbula momphepo tyina matyihande okunamatwa.*
Olie upondola okutyikwata putyina tyatokotelwa?
Petupu otyitwei natyike tyiketyitaindya, mwene tyilitwala;
Tyina tyatokotelwa,* vityivasa-le.
25 Onomphai mbove mbahakale tyehena ononkhaku
Nii wahayeke pomunyino wove pakukute.
Mahi ove uti: ‘Etyi tyitupu-ale!+
26 Ngeetyi otyimphulu tyikunda tyina tyamavasiwa tyivaka,
Otyo veumbo lya Isilayeli vakala, vakunda,
Navo, nonohamba mbavo, novanene vatyo vavo,
Novanakwa vavo novauli vavo.+
27 Ngwe vapopila omuti vati, ‘Ove, ove tate,’+
Emanya aveliti: ‘Ove, ove wanthyita.’
Mahi ame vampha ekohi, kavamphele otyipala.+
Mahi apa vatumbukilwa novihuna mavakati:
‘Katuka, tuyovole!’+
28 Pahe mbulipi ono huku mbove welilingila?+
Mbukatuke ine mbutyivila okukuyovola tyina wamatumbukilwa novihuna,
Soka ono huku mbove mbalinga ononyingi ngomapunda-umbo ove, ove Sundaa.+
29 ‘Onwe oityi nkhele muliyavela kwaame?
Oityi amuho mwanthyitukilila-po?’+ o Siovaa wetyipopia.
30 Etyi naipaa ovana venyi tyitupu etyi tyalinga.+
31 Onwe vanthu vomuvo uno tehelelei ondaka ya Siovaa.
Okuti ame nakala oluhandya kova Isilayeli,
Ine nakala otyilongo tyenthiki enene?
Oityi ovanthu vange vatila: ‘Onthwe mwene tweenda-enda vala katwesukile-ale.
Kamatukondoka vali kwoove’?+
Katyivilwa okuvalula ononthiki ovanthu vange mwene vandimbwa.+
33 Ove umunongo unene mukai ove, utyivila okuvala nawa opo ukaovole ou mekuhande!
Ove onondyila mbovivi pahe wembunonga umwe.+
34 Ovikutu viove viasila ohonde yovahepi no yovanthu* vehena etyi valinga,+
Hinevevase vatemba otyitunge vavaka.
Mahi ohonde yavo yasilisa kovikutu viove aviho.+
35 Ove uti: ‘Ame ndyitupu etyi nalinga.
Tyotyili kwaame pahe onyengo yae yatunda-ko-ale.’
Ame ndyili nokukweetela omphela,
Mokonda ove uti: ‘Ame halingile onkhali.’
36 Oityi ove wahamonena-vo omukalelo wove utenga-tenga?
37 Otyo ove motundila-ko tyapaka omavoko komutwe:+
Mokonda Siovaa waanya ava ove wayumba onthumbi;
Kamavekukwatesa-ko ovipuka avikweende nawa.”
