Elikwambelo lyo ou wehulilwa* uuyulila Siovaa+ atyiho tyemutokotesa omutima.

3 Ononthiki mbomwenyo wange mbuli nokupwiinina ngomwihi,
Aa omankhipa ange eli nokupia uti vala apakwa mofolono.+
4 Omutima wange wakukuta ngeholi liatukulwa,
Nokulia vala katyiko-ale vali.+

10 Mokonda yonyengo yove nolunuma lwove,
Ove wankhulamekele mahi pahe kunthyande vali.
13 Tyotyili ove mokatuka olingi okankhenda o Siyau,+
Mokonda omuvo una okusuka nayo wehika-po.+
Omuvo wanakwa wehika-po.+
15 Ovanthu vovilongo mavakatila enyina lya Siovaa,
Onohamba ambuho kombanda yeheke mambukatila omunkhima wove.+
19 Huku utala pohi otyo eli keulu, keulu liae likola,+

20 Opo atehelele ononkhwatwa mbukema,+
Ayovola ava vapangulwa-po vakaipawe,+
21 Opo enyina lya Siovaa lipopiwe mo Siyau,+
Ahivilikilwa mo Selusalei,
22 Tyina ovanthu vovilongo novatumini,
Vameliongiya opo valingile Siovaa.+
23 Huku wamphola liwa ononkhono mbange.
Watipulila ononthiki mbomwenyo wange.
24 Ame nati: “Huku yange,
Wahanyimeko-vo liwa tyina nkhele nehenekule,
Ove wokukala-ko vala apeho, aveho veya vekuvasa-ko.+
25 Apa watunga omalisesu ohi ha-papano,
Eli eulu otyilinga tyomavoko ove.+
26 Eulu malikavomba-ko atyiho nohi, mahi ove oko uli vala apeho.
Eulu malikapwa ngotyikutu, ohi nayo maikapwa.
Eulu malikavomba-ko neheke ngovikutu, okelipingiya-ko vali.
27 Mahi ove, ove vala, omanima uli kouye etupu apa ehulila.+
28 Ovana vovanthu vove mavakakala tyehena otyiho,
Ava vokwatuka muvo avakakala-kala apeho kotyipala tyove.”+
