Okuti mandyitale omuhikwena wehenende nomukwendye andyimupeleya?+
2 Ame okulinga ngootyo Huku keulu mamphe-tyi?
Oityi mandyipiñgana Komuvili wa Atyiho keulu?
3 Mwene ovihuna kumbi kamaviendela ondingavivi,
Ononkhumbi ha mba ava umwe vala valinga ovivi?+
4 Wati ñgaa onondyila mbange kembumono,+
Wati ononthambo mbange kembuvalula umwe ambuho?
5 Okuti kumbi nali-ale onkhembi?*
Okuti omphai yange kumbi yahatekelele-ale pomatutu?+
7 Ine onomphai mbange mbayapuka mondyila,+
Ou omutima wange ulandula vala momaiho ange,+
Aa omavoko ange asila,
8 Opo etyi ndyikuna tyikaliwe na mukwetu,+
Etyi ndyitwika tyitukulwe-po.*
9 Ine pena omukai wantheya omutima,+
Pahe andyihimbika okutala-tala+ kombundi yondywo ya mukwetu,
10 Opo omukai wange akunkhile mulume mukwetu,
11 Mokonda opo, otyo nalinga tyikundisa,
Otyo onkhali inkhwatesa, no vokuteta onomphela kavanthyupisa-le.+
12 Otyo ñgeno tyalinga ngotupia, otupia tulia, tuhanya,+
Otupia tuyoka* ovikuna viange aviho, avipi-po nomii viatyo.
13 Ine nalingile onya omulingilili wange, omukwendye hamwe omufikwena,
Ine nemulingile onya ngwe twali nonondaka* nae,
14 Opo haa mandyilingi ñgeni kumbi Huku andyendela?
Apa amphula, haa mandyimutiwi?+
15 Wokwamphakele meimo lya mee, hae vala wevetunga?+
Hae vala wetupakaile momaimo ovo mee?+
16 Kumbi namwene-vo omuhepe weile okulipopia, anehemupe natyike?+
Nanumanehile-vo omuhepe,*+ momaiho ae amutoko ononkhuka?
17 Ame nalile-vo okulia kwange andyike
Nalile umwe anahatepulila-ko-vo ononthyiwe?+
18 (Nkhele vala tya pouna, ame ndyitekula vala nawa ononthyiwe,* ndyilinga umwe ngoti ame tate yavo,
Nkhele tya pouna, ame ndyitekula ovahepe.)
19 Namwene-vo omunthu unkhia noutalala,
Hamwe omuhepi wehena apa elihika?+
Ngwe ankho utokotelwa tupu omainya onongi mbange?
21 Ame kumbi nahongele-vo onthyiwe nokuvoko kwange,+
Nemuhongele-vo pweetyi ali kombundi kepunda-umbo ahanda okukwatesiwa-ko?*+
22 Opo okuvoko kwange kutokele pohi,
Kutunyukile umwe pongolo.*
23 Ame ndyina owoma novihuna Huku ayumba,
Ame komunkhima wae hivete-ko-ale.
24 Ame nayumbile-vo onthumbi moolu?
Napopilile-vo oolu yakangulwa andyiti: ‘Mwoove, omo napamena?’+
25 Ame kumbi nelihapelele-vo okuna-tyo,+
Nelihapelele-vo okwatumba unene?+
Hamwe ohanyi yeenda yatema nawa,+
27 Andyiyondywa nomutima,
Ou omulungu wange auhipi ombesinyu kenkhanya liange, andyihimbika okufenda ovipuka ovio?+
28 Ine ovio nalingaile ovio, opo otyo onkhali inkhwatesa, no vokuteta onomphela kavanthyupisa-le,
Kavanthyupisa-le mokonda opo hetavelele Huku yotyotyili keulu.
29 Okuti mwamwene-ale ndyiyola ondyali yange yatumbukilwa novihuna?+
Mwamwene-ale nahambukilwa ovihuna amona?
31 Ava vali mekaka liange, havo ankho vakalela vala okuti:
33 Mwamwene-ale naholeka ononkhali ndyilinga, andyilingi nga vakwetu?+
Mwamwene-ale napaka onkhali nalinga mondyepelo yotyikutu tyange,
34 Okwatila owoma etyi ovaunyingi mavasoko,
Hamwe okwatila owoma okukundiswa na vakwetu,
Pahe andyiti vala filuu, andyitili owoma no pondye anahalupuka?
35 Nahandele-vo ñgeno pena-vo vala ou unthehelela,+
Ponondaka mbange ñgeno napakapo enyina liange.*
Omuvili wa Atyiho ñgeno unkhumbulula-vo vala!+
Ava vokunthendeleya, ñgeno etyi vapopaile vetyihonekele,
36 Ñgeno natyinda-po etyi vahoneka, ñgeno netyityinda komapepe ange,
Ñgeno netyipaka komutwe wange, atyilingi ngotyuuya.*
37 Ñgeno mwene nekelipopia kwe onondyila ambuho nakwata-kwata,
Ñgeno naviuka umwe kwe tyehena owoma.
38 Kumbi mweivile-ale ohika yange yuulula onkhwo, tyatiwa neilinga onya,
Mweivile-ale omikungu viatyo vilila?
39 Mwamwene-ale napola-mo ovinyango andyili anahafete,+
Ava vahekulu avesala* nokulila?+
40 Ine ovio nalingile ovio, opo mepia liange mumene ohongo, mweheye otiliku,
Mumene ovifo viokunika omapita, mweheye osevata.”
Onondaka mba Sombe, opo mbehulila opo.
