Ohola ye Samaliya,+ ne Oholiba ye Yelusalema.

5 “Ohola watendekele kuba bukende+ saka akiji mukazhami. Wakomokele bakambwe banji+ bena Asilya bo aikalanga nabo kipi kipi.+ 6 Bajinga babinemanga ne bakalama ba kibiji bavwalanga bivwalo bya musombelo wa kifufya, baendanga pa bambili babo. Abano bonse bajinga bansongwalume balamba bingi. 7 Ohola watwajijile kuba bukende na banabalume bonse bena Asilya balambisha, kabiji wizhilulwile+ na bankishi ba bunya* bo akomokele. 8 Kechi walekele bupite bwanji bo aubilenga mu Ijipita ne, mambo byo ajinga mwanyike, bena Ijipita balaajilenga nanji, bachintawilenga mabele anji kabiji baubilenga nanji bulalelale.+ 9 Onkao mambo, namupaine ku bakambwe banji bena Asilya+ bonka bo akomokele. 10 Bamuvuujile,+ bamusendejile baana banji ba balume ne ba bakazhi,+ kabiji aye bamwipayile na mpoko. Wakizhizhemo kuba byatama kabiji bamukambwile.

11 “Nkasanji, aye Oholiba byo amwene kino, wakizhizhemo kukomoka bakambwe banji, kabiji wakizhizhemo ne kuba bukende kukila kolojanji.+ 12 Wakomokele bingi banabalume bena Asilya+ baikalanga kipi kipi, babinemanga ne bakalama ba kibiji bavwalanga bivwalo byawamisha, baendanga pa bambili babo. Abano bonse bajinga bansongwalume balamba bingi. 13 Byo ezhilulwile, namwene kuba’mba bonse babiji bajinga na byubilo bintutu bimo.+ 14 Bino Oholiba wakizhizhemo kuba bukende. Wamwene banabalume bo balengejile pa lubumbulu, ko kuba’mba bipashañano bichila bya bena Kalodeya, 15 byo bakashile mishipi mu mbunda ne kwibipombakanya bisapi ku mitwe yabyo saka byazenzumuka. Byamwekelenga nobe banabalume ba nkondo kabiji byonse byaimenejilengako bena Babilona bonka basemekejilwe mu kyalo kya bena Kalodeya. 16 Byo ebamwenetu, wibakomokele, kabiji watumine baluwe kwi abo mu Kalodeya.+ 17 Onkao mambo, banabalume bena Babilona baishilenga na kwilaala nanji, kabiji bamuzhilulwile byo bamukumbilwe.* Byo bamuzhilulwile, aye* wibalengulwile ne kwibashikwa.

18 “Byo atwajijile na byubilo bya kwizozola bya kuba bukende ne kusha mubiji wanji patoka,+ amiwa* namulengulwile ne kumushikwa byonkatu byo naubile na kolojanji.+ 19 Nangwa byonkabyo, aye wakizhizhemo kuba bukende+ saka avuluka moba a ku bwanyike bwanji, o aubijilengamo bupite mu kyalo kya Ijipita.+ 20 Kabiji wibakomokele byonka byuba bakambwe baji na banabalume baji na bya bulume nobe bya bambongolo ne bya bambili. 21 Watongelenga bingi byubilo bya bunya byo waubanga saka ukiji mwanyike mu Ijipita,+ kimye kyo bachintanga ne kukaisha mabele obe antutu.+

22 “Onkao mambo, obewa Oholiba, Nkambo Mfumu Yehoba waamba’mba: ‘Amiwa mbena kukosesha bakambwe bobe+ bo walengulwile ne kushikwa, kabiji nkebaleta kufuma konse konse kuba’mba bakakulukuke.+ 23 Bakambwe bobe bo nkaleta ke banabalume bena Babilona+ ne bonse bena Kalodeya,+ banabalume bena Pekoda,+ bena Showa ne bena Kowa pamo ne banabalume bonse bena Asilya. Abano bonse bajinga bansongwalume balamba bingi, babinemanga ne bakalama ba kibiji, banabalume ba nkondo ne bo basajile,* bonse baendanga pa bambili. 24 Bakakulukuka na makalaki a nkondo ne bitanga, nzhita ikatampe, makebo* akatampe ne acheche, ne na tumpompo. Bonse bakakuzhokoloka kabiji nkebaswisha kuba’mba bakuzhachishe ne kukukambula monka mo bakakebela.+ 25 Nkakuzhingijila, kabiji abo bakakukambula na mambo a bukaji bwabo. Bakakuchiba moona ne matwi, ne boba bakashalapo mwi obewa, bakebatapa na mpoko. Bakasenda baana bobe ba balume ne ba bakazhi kabiji aba bakashalapo mwi obewa, bakapya na mujilo.+ 26 Bakakuvuula bivwalo byobe+ ne kukwangata bya kwikobaika kobaika byobe byawama.+ 27 Nkakulekesha kuba bintu bya bumvu ne bupite+ bo watendekejile kuba mu kyalo kya Ijipita.+ Kechi ukebitalapo nangwa kuvuluka kyalo kya Ijipita jibiji ne.’

28 “Nkambo Mfumu Yehoba waamba’mba: ‘Katatakatu nkupane ku boba bo* washikilwe ne kulengulula.+ 29 Bakakukambula na mambo a bukaji, kukwangata bintu byonse byo wasulwijile+ ne kukuvuula amba bakutambile. Kwizozola kobe, byubilo byobe bya bumvu ne bupite bobe bo waubile, bikasoloka patoka.+ 30 Abino bintu byo byo bakakuba na mambo a bupite bo waubile na bisaka bya bantu,+ mambo obewa wizhilulwile na bankishi babo ba bunya.+ 31 Waubatu byonka byaubile kolojobe,+ kabiji nkabika katomeno kanji mu kuboko kobe.’+

32 “Nkambo Mfumu Yehoba waamba’mba:

“Mambo amiwa yami naamba,” byo byaamba Nkambo Mfumu Yehoba.’

35 “Onkao mambo, Nkambo Mfumu Yehoba waamba’mba: ‘Na mambo a kuba wamvulama ne kundengulula,*+ nkakukambula na mambo a byubilo byobe bya bunya ne bukende bobe.’”

36 Kabiji Yehoba wañambijile’mba: “Obewa mwana muntu, nanchi ukamba bya kuchibila mambo Ohola ne Oholiba+ ne kwibalengela kuyuka byubilo byabo bya bunya nyi? 37 Abo bauba bukende*+ kabiji baichila mashi a bantu. Kechi baubatu bukende bonka na bankishi babo ba bunya ne, bino bataya mu mujilo ne baana babo bo basemene kwi amiwa kwikala kajo ka bankishi babo.+ 38 Kabiji bauba bino bintu kwi amiwa: Pa joja juba, bazhilulwile nzubo yami yazhila ne masabado ami. 39 Byo baipayile baana babo ne kwibatapisha ku bankishi babo ba bunya,+ batwelele mu nzubo yami yazhila ne kwiizhilulula+ pa jonkaja juba. Abino byo byo baubilenga mukachi ka nzubo yami. 40 Batumine ne muluwe wa kuya na kwita banabalume ba kwalepa.+ Byo baishilenga, waowele ne kwipentapenta ku meso kabiji wikobaikile ne bya kwikobaika kobaika.+ 41 Kabiji obewa waikele pa mwanya wawama+ kwipi na tebulu ye wawamishe bulongo+ ne kubikapo bya kufutumuna byami+ ne manyi ami.+ 42 Kwaumvwanyikilenga kyungwe kya jibumba ja banabalume, kabiji pa bano banabalume pajinga ne bitomi byaishile kufuma mu kiselebwa. Bavwikile banabakazhi makosa ku maboko ne minchinya ya buya ku mitwe yabo.

43 “Kepo naambile pa yewa wakooka na bukende namba: ‘Ukatwajijila na bupite bwanji.’ 44 Onkao mambo, bayilenga ko ajinga, byonka bantu byo baya kwi pite. Abino byo byo bayilenga ne kwi Ohola ne Oholiba, banabakazhi ba byubilo bya bumvu. 45 Pano bino, banabalume baoloka bakamuchibila mambo monka mo aolokela na mambo a kuba bukende+ ne kwichila mashi a bantu;+ mambo bo bankende kabiji baji na mambo a mashi.+

46 “Nkambo Mfumu Yehoba waamba’mba: ‘Nzhita ikeya na kwibalukuka, ikebalengela kwikala na moyo ne kwibapukwila bintu byabo.+ 47 Nzhita ikebasa mabwe+ ne kwibepaya na mapoko ayo. Bakebepayila baana babo ba balume ne ba bakazhi+ kabiji bakebasokela mazubo abo.+ 48 Nkalekesha byubilo bya bumvu kubiwa mu kyalo, ne banabakazhi bonse bakafunjilako kwi obewa kabiji kechi bakalondela byubilo byobe bya bumvu ne.+ 49 Bakakukambula monka mwayila byubilo byobe bya bumvu kabiji monka mwayila mambo o walenga na bankishi bobe ba bunya; kabiji po po ukayuka’mba amiwa yami Nkambo Mfumu Yehoba.’”+
