12 Ove uviukisa, ove Siovaa,+ tyina ndyilipopia kwoove,
Tyina nkhupopila evi viayemba konomphela mbuviuka.
Oityi ovakalavi onondyila mbavo mbeendela nawa?+
Oityi ovanthu vekutyindamena vakalela nombembwa?
2 Ove wevetwika, ngwe vakala nomii,
Vekula, vaima ovinyango.
Ove uli vala komilungu viavo, mahi momalusoko avo o kohi* uli kokule.+
Veyapula-ko, ngonongi mambukaipawa,
Vepakela ponthele, vakevele onthiki yononkhia.
4 Otyilongo etyi matyitwalako okukukuta atee-pi,
Ovifo vyo momapia aeho mavikukuta atee-pi?+
Mokonda yovivi viovanthu vo motyilongo etyi,
Novinyama noviila kavi-ko vali.
Mokonda vati: “Ngwe kamono-ale etyi onthwe matukala.”
Namphila ove uliyumba onthumbi motyilongo tyombembwa,
Molingi ñgeni apa ukala moviteta mwanthikovela okutyama no Solondau?
6 Mokonda atee umwe ava mulilandula navo, veumbo lya tate yove,
Vekweenda konyima.+
Vekukandukila.
Weheveyumbe onthumbi,
Nga vekupopila ñgoo ovipuka vikahi nawa.
7 “Nasa-po eumbo liange;+ nasa-po epingo liange.+
Omunthu ndyihole* nemupakula peke lionondyale mbae.+
8 Epingo liange tyina ndyilitala uti onkhulika motyiteta.
Ame liaonena.
Otyo neliyalela.
Endywei, liongiyei vinyama aviho vyo mofika,
Endywei mulie.+
Eheke liange liokukahi nawa velilinga oluhandya lwehena natyike.
11 Velityitula ekongola.
Eheke eli aliho liahanywa-po,
Mahi petupu omunthu wesuka natyo.+
12 Ovahanyauni vatundilila monondyila* ambuho mbutauluka oluhandya,
Mokonda omutunga wa Siovaa ukahi nokulia otyilongo okutyipolelela nthele imwe atee nthele imwe.+
Petupu omunthu una* ombembwa.
13 Vakuna otiliku, mahi vateya omakete.+
Valinga ononkhono-pwila.
Etyi mavateye matyivekundisa,
Mokonda yonyengo ya Siovaa yatema.”
14 Etyi otyo Siovaa atolela aveho twelitungaila navo onondingavivi, vayama kepingo napa ovanthu vange ova Isilayeli:+ “Ame uno mandyivetukula meheke liavo,+ mandyitukula-po eumbo lya Sundaa pokati kavo. 15 Mahi tyina namevetukula, mandyivelingi vali okankhenda, munthu na munthu andyimukondola kepingo liae, akondoka kotyilongo tyae.”
16 “Ine navo vanoñgonoka onondyila mbovanthu vange, avatukaila enyina liange avati: ‘Na Siovaa umwe una omwenyo!’ ngeetyi valongesile ovanthu vange okwaana avatukaila enyina lya Mbaale, navo mavakakala pokati kovanthu vange. 17 Mahi, ine kavetavela, ovanthu ovo mandyitukula-po; mandyivetukula-po, andyivehanye-po,” o Siovaa wetyipopia.+
