20 Mu Babilona kechi mukekala bantu jibiji ne,

Kabiji kechi ikekala mpunzha mukekalanga bisemi byonse bikeya kulutwe ne.+

Kafwako mwina Alabya ukapopelamo tente wanji,

Kabiji bakafunga kechi bakajiishishangamo mikooko yabo ne.

21 Bilengwa bya mu kiselebwa bikalaalanga monka;

Mu mazubo abo mukayulatu tupwansengo.

Bañonyi batelwa’mba baosetelechi bakekalanga monka,+

Ne bikwinji* bikakayilanga monka.

37 Babilona ukaluka ke milumba ya mabwe,+

Mpunzha mwa kulaala balubwala,+

Ukekala kintu kikankamika bantu ne kwibalengela kwita milozhi,

Kabiji kechi mukekala bantu ne.+
