Oviimbo

2 Oityi ovilongo viankhindukila?

Oityi ovanthu vapangela* ovipuka viahasilivila?+

 2 Onohamba mbo kombanda yohi mbukatuka,

Ovatumini velikonga*+

Valwisa Siovaa nomulembulwa wae.*+

 3 Vapopia okuti: “Tutipaulei omalienge avo,

Atulipolo omapanda avo!”

 4 Una upumphi kotyipundi tyae tyoutumini keulu, makayola.

Siovaa mekevelinga omukwele.

 5 Pononthiki opo, makapopia navo monyengo yae,

Monyengo yae yatokota mekeveteketesa.

 6 Akati: “Ame mwene navialeka ohamba yange+

Ko Siyau,+ omphunda yange ikola.”

 7 Mandyikalavandya ovitumino vya Siovaa,

Ngwe wantholela okuti: “Ove umona wange.+

Hono ame nalinga ho.+

 8 Ndyite, ame andyikekwaavela ovanthu vovilongo vakale epingo liove,

Nonofika oku kwaoyela ohi umbupiñgane.+

 9 Ove mokeveteya-teya nonkhunye yotyivela,+

Ovetyatyaula ngombiya yoluma.”+

10 Pahe onwe nohamba, kalei nounongo wokupunga.

Tavelei okuviyulwa* onwe vakoyesi vo kombanda yohi.

11 Lingilei Siovaa nonthilo,

Hambukwei otyo muteketa.

12 Hilivikei* omona+ opo Huku ahanumane,

Opo onwe mwahankhile mondyila,+

Mokonda onyengo yae iyaka liwa.
