Ululilei onkhwo yovita komphunda yange ikola.
Ovanthu aveho motyilongo etyi* vatekete,
Mokonda onthiki ya Siovaa ikahi nokuhika-po!+ Ili unene popepi!
2 Maikala onthiki yenthiki enene, nepuputu,+
Maikala onthiki yomakaka, nepuputu enene.+
Maikala ngonohanya mbekumbi mbuliyandyana konomphunda, tyina linyingila.
Kuna ovanthu vamwe ovanyingi-nyingi vena ononkhono,+
Kakunekale ovanthu vekahi ngavo,
Kamakukakala-kala vali ovanthu vekahi ngavo,
Mokweenda kwomanima omakula atyo aeho.
3 Komutwe wavo kuna ekundungala liotupia,
Monyima yavo muna omutemo uyoka atyiho.+
Komutwe wavo ofika ikahi ngepia lyo mo Endene,+
Mahi konyima yavo ofika aiho oluhandya muhakala vali omunthu,
Natyike matyihupu.
4 Okuvetala vekahi ngononkhambe,
Vahateka ngononkhambe mbovita.+
5 Vaviela unene ngomatemba ovita tyina alonda nokulauka povitanga-tanga vionomphunda.+
Vaviela unene ngekundungala liotupia liyoka olwinge.
Vekahi ngovanthu vokwapama vaongana opo vahimbike okulwa.+
6 Mokonda yavo, ovanthu aveho mavaetesa onkhenda.
Ovanthu aveho mavakala novipala viokwatila unene owoma.
7 Valwisa ngovakwa-vita,
Valonda ovimato ngomafwalali,
Munthu na munthu uviuka vala komutwe wae mwene,
Kavayapuka mondyila yavo.
8 Kavelikunyauna,

Ine omauta atokesa* vamwe,
Ovakwavo kavelihanyauka.
9 Vaululila momapunda-umbo, vakwata kombanda yovimato nokuhateka.
Valonda keulu lionondywo, vakwata ponondyanena ngovimphulu.
10 Mokonda yavo, ohi iteketa, eulu litenga-tenga.
Ekumbi nohanyi vianthikovela,+
Ononthungululu kambuliaima vali.
11 Siovaa makakalulukila ponthele yomafwalali ae,+ mokonda onthanda yae ina ovanthu ovanyingi-nyingi.+
Wokufwisapo ondaka Yae, una ononkhono ononene,
Onthiki ya Siovaa onene, itilisa unene owoma.+
Olie metyivili okukoleleya monthiki oyo?”+
12 Siovaa wati: “Tyina nkhele pena ononthiki, kondokei kwaame nomutima watyo auho,+
Muhaliei natyike,+ lilei, liyavei.
13 Tandulei omitima vienyi,+ muhatandulei ovikutu vienyi,+
Kondokei ku Siovaa, Huku yenyi.
Mokonda, una okankhenda,* weevela, kanumana liwa,+ una olwembia olunene,+
Melikondola, ahaeta vali ononkhumbi.
14 Olie utyii, hamwe utala vali nawa, elikondola,+
Emuyambe,
Na mutyivile okwavela Siovaa Huku yenyi, oviawa viovilia, noviawa viovikunwa!
15 Hikilei onkhwino ko Siyau!
Popilei* ovanthu vahalie natyike. Kongei ovanthu, amulingi otyonge otyinene.+
16 Ongiyei ovanthu, amusukukisa ewaneno.+
Ongiyei ovakulu. Ongiyei ovana, nomalukembe.+
Omukwendye wanepa pahe, atunde koluhinyi lwondywo yae, omufikwena wanepwa pahe, alule-mo esanya liae.
17 Pokati kokuti nondywo yo kombundi nomutala wovilikutila,+
Ovanakwa, ovaundapi va Siovaa opo valililile otyo vati:
‘Kala-vo nokankhenda novanthu vove Siovaa,
Uhayeke ovanthu vove vapenywe.
Uhayeke vatuminwe novanthu vovilongo ovikwavo.
Mokonda ovanthu mavapopi okuti: “Huku yavo uli-pi?”’+
18 Ngootyo, Siovaa mayakulila otyilongo tyae nombili onene,
Malingila okankhenda ovanthu vae.+
19 Siovaa makakumbulula ovanthu vae okuti:
‘Ndyikahi nokumutuma ovilia, novinyu omphe, nomulela.
Onwe mamutuuka umwe nawa.+
Himayeke vali ovanthu vovilongo vemupenye.+
20 Una wokutunda kombanda, mandyikemutahela kokule noonwe,
Mandyimuyandyanesa mohika yatokota unene, yahanyauka
Akondoka* no kelunga lyo koutundilo,*
Atyindamena kelunga lyo koutakelo.*
Omuniko wae omuvi, maweende no meulu,
Mokonda Huku makalinga ovipuka ovinene unene.’
21 Uhakale nowoma, ove tyilongo.
Kwiilila, ohambukwa, mokonda Siovaa malingi ovipuka ovinene unene.
22 Muhakalei nowoma, vinyama viomofika,
Mokonda ohika maiyovo nawa,+
Omiti maviimi ovinyango.+
Omukuyu, nomuti wonouva, maviimi unene.+
23 Onwe vana vo Siyau, kwiililei, amuhambukilwa Siovaa, Huku yenyi.+
Mokonda malokesa ombila yonkhalula yatamo,
Memulokesila ombila onene,
Malokesa ombila yonkhalula, nombuvula, ngo kohale.+
24 Povipale, mapekeyula ovilia,
Mokuniangulilwa ovinyango, mamukeyula ovinyu omphe, nomulela.+
25 Natumine ovita viange ovinene kwoonwe mokweenda kwomanima:
Ekaka liovimphunia-mphunia, nemphunia-mphunia liokwehena omavava, nemphunia-mphunia liokulia, nemphunia-mphunia liokulia unene.
Atyiho vianyona momanima oo, mandyikemukondolela-tyo.+
26 Onwe, mamukalia amutuuka,+
Mamukahilivika enyina lya Siovaa, Huku yenyi,+
Wokwalinga omahuviso opo emukwateseko.
Ovanthu vange kamavakakundaiswa vali.+
27 Onwe mamunoñgonoka okuti, ame ndyikahi pokati ko va Isilayeli,+
Ame, ame Siovaa, Huku yenyi,+ kutupu vali omukwavo!
Ovanthu vange kamavakakundaiswa vali.
28 Konyima yotyo, mandyikauyulila omphepo+ yange kohitu yatyo aiho,
Ovana venyi ovakwendye novakainthu mavakaula,
Ovalume ovakulu mavakata onondyoi,
Ovakwendye mavakamona ovilelenya.+
29 No kovapika vange umwe ovakwendye novakai,
Mankhauyulila-ko omphepo yange pononthiki mbatyo opo.
30 Mandyikalinga omaelema meulu no kombanda yohi,
Ohonde notupia, nomikundu-kundu viomwihi.+
