3 Etyi pahe Sombe ahimbika okupopia, apopi omapita onthiki atyitwa.*+ 2 Sombe ati:
3 “Onthiki natyitwa yahavalaulwe vali,+
Notyinthiki vatile: ‘Oku kuna omukai omulemi makutula omona omukwendye!’
4 Onthiki oyo ilinge enthiki.
Huku keulu, ehesuke nayo.
Yahamone otyimimi natyike.
5 Onthiki oyo iliwe-po nepuputu enene.*
Onthiki oyo inkhilimikwe nekaka liombila.
Ovipuka vieeta enthiki viitilise owoma.
6 Otyinthiki otyo tyilinge epuputu.+
Ononthiki ambuho mbenima mbuhambukwe, mahi onthiki oyo yahahambukwe,
Onthiki oyo, pokuvalula onohanyi yahapakwe-po.
7 Ine onthiki oyo yalingile onthimphe ñgeno hahe,
Motyinthiki otyo mwahatuwe ondolo.
9 Monthiki omo, tyina tyiti kombimba ononthungululu mbunthikovele,
Onthiki oyo ipwile nokukevela ekumbi liahamatundu,
Onthiki oyo yahamone onohanya mbekumbi litunda.
10 Oityi yahaikilile eimo lya mee?+
Ñgeno hamwe hamwene emone.
11 Oityi nahupila anahankhi vala pokukutulwa?
Oityi nahatile vala tundee meimo andyinkhi?+
12 Nonongolo mbatyo mbandyakulile, mbandyakulila-tyi-ale?
Nokevele nanyamine, linthyandela-tyi-ale?
13 Mwene ñgeno ndyilangi vala nombembwa yange.+
Mwene ñgeno ndyilele vala, ñgeno napululukwa,+
14 Ñgeno napululukwa nonohamba pohi no vokupakaila-mo onohamba,
Ñgeno napululukwa no vokwatungile omaumbo alinga ovisaumbo,
15 Ñgeno napululukwa novatumini vokwali noolu,
Vokwali novitunge vieyula opalata.
16 Eimo liatyo kaliatundilile-po-tyi vala, aliahamoneka-le?
Oityi nahalingilile vala ngovana vamwe vahamwene-ale otyimimi?
17 Nondingavivi umwe okunkhia, otyiho tyipwa.
Omononkhia vokwepwila vakapululukwa.+
18 Ononkhwatwa okwenda kondyembo, kambuhuka-huka vali.
Kaveivi ondaka yomunthu nawike uvekuluminya okuundapa.
19 Mononkhia, tyiti vala pomututu pomunene velifwa vala,+
Omupika uyovoka pomavoko a una aundapela.
21 Oityi ononkhia mbeheila ngwe ombo vapeleya?+
Vesuka vali nambo tyipona olumono lwahamoneka.
22 Soka vahambukwa,
Okuhungama kelangalo vahambukwa.
23 Oityi apela otyimimi omunthu wavomba, weheli vali mondyila,
Omunthu Huku ahondyela ongandyo?+
25 Tyinthilisa owoma otyo umwe tyandyendela,
Tyintheketesa otyo umwe tyambasa.
26 Nokufima hifimipo-ale, omutima kaupumphi-ale, pahe nepwila,
Ononkhumbi ndyimona mbulilandula vala.”
