13 “Mu joja juba ba mu nzubo ya kwa Davida ne bangikazhi ba mu Yelusalema bakebashinkwila mushima wa kwibatokesha ku bundengamambo ne ku bintu byatama.+
2 “Yehoba wa mabumba waamba’mba, ‘Mu joja juba nkafuuta mazhina a bankishi mu kyalo,+ kabiji kechi bakeavuluka jibiji ne; kabiji mu kyalo nkafumyamo bangauzhi+ ne mupashi wa biko. 3 Kabiji inge muntu akabwezhepo kwaula, bashanji ne bainanji bamusemene bakamwambila’mba, ‘Kechi usakwikala na bumi ne, mambo waamba bubela mu jizhina ja Yehoba.’ Kabiji bashanji ne bainanji bamusemene bakamwasa kya kumupulankanya na mambo a kwaula kwanji.+
4 “Mu joja juba ngauzhi yense ukomvwa bumvu na mambo a kimwesho kyanji pa kwaula; kabiji kechi bakavwala bivwalo byabo bya boya+ kuba’mba babepe ne. 5 Kabiji ngauzhi ukamba’mba, ‘Amiwa kechi nengauzhi ne, amiwa yami njimi, mambo muntu wampotele byo nakijingatu mwanyike.’ 6 Kabiji umvwe muntu wamwipuzha’mba, ‘Nga bino bilonda biji pakachi ka bipuzhi* byobe byaishile byepi?’ ukakumbula’mba, ‘Bino bilonda bankozhezhe mu nzubo ya balunda nami.’”*
“Mutape kafunga,+ pa kuba’mba jitanga* jipalañenemo;+
Kabiji nkatanyika kuboko kwami ne kulwisha boba babula kunema.”
8 Yehoba waamba’mba, “Kabiji mu kyalo kyonse,
Muji mabumba abiji bakeachibako ne kwionauna;*
Kabiji jibumba ja busatu bakejisha monka.
9 Kabiji aba ba mu jibumba ja busatu nkebapisha mu mujilo;
Kabiji nkebatubula byonka byo batubula siliva,
Ne kwibeseka byonka byo beseka ngolode.+
Baketa pa jizhina jami,
Ne amiwa nkebakumbula.
Nkamba’mba, ‘Abo bo bantu bami,’+
Ne abo bakamba’mba, ‘Yehoba ye Lesa wetu.’”
