14 “Mundu jwakupagwa mwa jwamkongwe akusatama kwa ndaŵi jejipi,
Soni umi wakwe ukusaŵa wegumbale ni yakusawusya.
2 Jwalakwe akusatumbuka mpela liluŵa, kaneko akusanyala,*
Jwalakwe akusatila mpela m’bulili ni ngawonekasoni.
3 Jemanja mkumlolechesya jwalakwe,
Sonitu jemanja mkusamjimba magambo jwalakwe.*
4 Ana mundu jwakulemwa mpaka aŵeleche mundu jwangalemwa?*
Yeleyi nganiyiŵa yikomboleche!
5 Masiku ga munduju gali gakuŵalanjika,
Winji wa myesi jakwe uli mmyala mwa wawojo.
Ŵamŵichile jwalakwejo malile gakutama ni umi ni chakulinga chakuti akapelenganya malilego.
6 Aleche kumlolechesya jwalakwe ni chakulinga chakuti apumule,
Mpaka ali amalisisye lisiku lyakwe mpela mwakusatendela jwaganyu.
7 Pakuŵa atamose chitela chikusakola chembecheyo.
Naga achikatile chikusasipukasoni,
Tunyambi twakwe tukusapitilisya kukula.
8 Naga michiga jakwe jikalambele mwitaka
Soni chisichi chakwe chiwilile mwitaka,
9 Pachigambile kupikana liwungo lya mesi chikusasipuka,
Soni chikusakoposya nyambi mpela chitela chasambano.
10 Nambotu mundu akusawaga ni kugona ali jwangali machili galigose.
Ana mundu pawile akusaŵaga ali kwapi?
11 Mesi gakusamala m’nyasa,
Soni sulo sikusapwaga ni kumula.
12 Nombenajo mundu akusagona soni jwangajimukaga.
Atamose kwinani kuli kutyosile, jwalakwe ngasajimuka,
Soni pangali jwachachimjimusya ku lugono lwakwe.
13 Bola Malembe* gakagambile kusunga une,
Wawo akagambile kusisa une mpaka ukali wawo uli umasile,
Soni wawo akaŵisile ndaŵi kuti pambesi pakwe changumbuchile une.
14 Naga mundu awile, ana mpaka aŵesoni ni umi?
Une chinjijembecheya kwa masiku gangu gosope ga masengo gakanganichisya
Mpaka jili jikwanile ndaŵi jakuti mbumule.
15 Wawo chachiŵilanga soni une chinjijanga.
Wawo chachikumbila* kugawona masengo ga makono gawo.
16 Nambo apano wawo akwamba kuŵalanga mwasipondile sajo syangu.
Chakulola wawo chili yakulemwa yangupe basi.
17 Yakulemwa yangu ayiŵisile m’chisaka ni kuyitaŵilila
Soni ayimatile yakulemwa yangu ni yindu yakumatila.
18 Mpela yalikusati litumbi pakugumuka ni kumwasika

19 Mpela yagakusati maganga pakujigalika ni mesi
Soni yasikusati sulo pakukokolola litaka,

20 Wawojo akusampunda machili jwalakwe mpaka juli jumasile,
Wawo akusamchenga kawoneche kakwe ni kumtopola.
21 Ŵandu akusiŵachimbichisyaga ŵanache ŵakwe, nambo jwalakwejo jwangamanyilila.
Ŵandu akusiŵanyosya ŵanache ŵakwe, nambo jwalakwe jwangamanyilila atapanandi.
22 Jwalakwe akusapikana kupweteka pandaŵi jele chilu chakwe chili chiŵela umi,
Jwalakwe akusalila pandaŵi jali umi.”
