 2 Yehowa udi tshilumbu ne Yuda;+

Yeye neanyoke Yakoba bilondeshile njila yende,

Ne neamufute bilondeshile bienzedi biende.+

 3 Mu difu, yeye wakakuata muanabu ku tshikankanyi,+

Kabidi ne bukole buende wakaluangana ne Nzambi.+

Yeye* wakamusangana ku Betele, ne kuoku aku Yeye wakakula netu,+

 5 Yehowa Nzambi wa biluilu,+

Yehowa ndîna diende dia tshivulukilu.*+

 6 “Nunku pingana kudi Nzambi webe,+

Lama dinanga dia lulamatu ne kulumbuluisha kuakane,+

Ne tekemena Nzambi webe misangu yonso.

 7 Kadi mu tshianza tshia ngenda mushinga mudi bipiminu bia dishima;

Yeye mmunange kudiangana bintu ku mashimi.+

 8 Efelayima udi utungunuka ne kuamba ne: ‘Bushuwa ndi mulue mubanji;+

Ndi mupete biuma.+

Ne mu mudimu wanyi wonso

mukole, kabakusangana bualu bubi anyi bua mpekatu to.’

Nengenze kabidi bua usombele mu ntenta

Bu mu matuku a tshikondo tshisungula.*

10 Ngakakula ne baprofete,+

Ngakavudija bikena kumona biabu,

Ne ngakakula mu nsumuinu ku diambuluisha dia baprofete.

Mbalambule ngombe mu Gilegala,+

Ne bioshelu biabu bidi bu mishiki ya mabue mu mabula a mu budimi.+

12 Yakoba wakanyemena mu buloba bua* Alama;*+

Isalele+ wakenzamu mudimu bua mukaji,+

Ne bua mukaji, yeye wakalama mikoko.+

13 Yehowa wakapatula Isalele mu Ejipitu ku diambuluisha dia muprofete,+

Ne bakamulama ku diambuluisha dia muprofete.+

14 Efelayima mmufiikishangane munda bikole menemene;+

Dibanza diende dia mashi ditshidi pambidi pende;

Mukalenge wende neamufute bua tshipendu tshiende.”+
