Aboobo zintu zyakabeendela kabotu.
‘Sena eeco tacili ncecaamba kundizyiba?’ mbwaamba Jehova.
17 ‘Pele meso aako alimwi amoyo wako ziimvwi buyo akulijanina mpindu cabumpelenge,
Kutila bulowa bwabantu banyina mulandu,
Kuunina bamwi alimwi akubabbida.’
18 “Aboobo, mboobu mbwaamba Jehova kujatikizya Jehoyakimu+ mwana wa Josiya, mwami wa Juda,
‘Tabakamulili kabati:
“Maawe mukwesu! Maawe mucizyi wangu!”
