Vaveta nolukava motyipala tyomukoyesi wo Isilayeli.+
Mututu unene pokati kovanyingi vo* Sundaa,
Mwoove mamukatunda ou makalinga omutumini wo Isilayeli,+
Wokwatuka komivo vyo kohale, kononthiki mbo kohale-hale.
3 Huku mekeveyeka-po,
Atee ononthiki mbomunthu makutula mbuhika-po, akutula.
Onondenge mbae vokwesala-po, mavakakondoka kovanthu vo Isilayeli.
4 Ngwe makakatuka, ononkhono mba Siovaa ambukemukwatesako okunthita,+
Nounene wenyina lya Siovaa Huku yae.
Ine omu Asilia uya motyilongo tyetu, aliata-liata ovimato vietu viokwapama,+
Matukakatula ovanthita epandu-vali, ononkhalamutwe etyinana mbaholovonwa movanthu mbumulwise.

7 Vana mavakahupa ku Sakoo, mavakakala pokati kovanthu ovanyingi,
Ngeyombo litunda ku Siovaa,

Vana vahapake ekevelelo liavo momunthu,
Tupu vahakevela movana vovanthu.
8 Vana mavakahupa ku Sakoo mavakakala pokati kovanthu vovilongo,
Pokati kovanthu ovanyingi,
Ngonkhulika ikahi pokati kovinyama viohika,
Ngonkhulika yelilumba* ikahi pokati kotyunda tyonongi,

Onondyale mbove ambuho mambukahanywa-ko.”

15 Mandyikahanyauna-ko ovilongo aviho viokuhenthavelele
Mandyivihanye-ko nonyengo onene nolunuma.”
