3 1Mabienga kwena mbanza ya menga, yizele luvunu yi muluta — nyama yisiku katuka! 2Mbudu ya fimbu, mbudu ya mavilu, baphunda bana babati zawuka, yi makalu ma mvita mabati dumuka! 3Bakwa baphunda bana babati kwisa, mbedi za phoku zina zibati lebuka, madyonga mana mabati lebuka — mulumba-lumba wa bahonda, mfunda ya mvumbi, mvumbi zakonda tsuka; bisi takuluka ha thandu ya bafwa. 4Mamana moosu kikuma kya kindumba kya lawu kya ndumba-leta yayi ya kitoku, pfumu wa mazi, yina yibati teka makanda mu kindumba kyandi yi bikanda mu mazi mandi.
5«Tala, meni yenina ku kunwanisa ngeyi,» kazimbudini Tata, Pfumu mukwa ngolu zoosu, «amana yikatómbula miledi myaku ku thandu ya busu bwaku; yikasóngila makanda lungwa lwaku yi bipfumu tsoni yaku. 6yikalósila ngeyi mvindu, yikaléwula ngeyi, amana yikukitula kima kya kutala kwa batu. 7Amana boosu bana babati kumona bakátina kwa ngeyi yi kuzimbula: “Ninive yizangani; nani wukánsyela khondu?” Ku biki yikáwana batu ba kukukhembisa ngeyi?»
8Keti ngeyi wuluti Tebesi mu mboti, yina yávwanda ku mbela ya Nile yi mamba mazingidya yandi, yina luphangu lwandi lwákala yanga, kibaka kyandi kyákala mamba? a a v8 Tebesi — mbanza yambuta ya Ngiphiti ya ku zulu — yandi-meni báyibunga kwa basi Asiliya; Nahumi wubonga kubwa kwandi hanga kidimbu kya kulukisa ni Ninive kayina mu luvuvamu ku. 9Kusi kyákala ngolu zandi, yi Ngiphiti yakonda tsuka; Puti yi bisi Libi bakála hana kati dya banduku bandi. 10Kaasi yandi wákituka mu kinzenza, wákota mu kihika. Bana bandi bakhunda bábabula ha pfumba za mabala-bala zoosu. Bábeti zeki kikuma kya batu bandi ba luzitu, amana bapfumu bandi boosu bákaswa mu misinga. 11Ngeyi phi wakádizedisa; wakádisweka; ngeyi phi wakásanda kiswaminu kikuma kya mbeni. 12Bibaka byaku byosu bya ngolu byenina hanga miti wa fiki yi fiki ya theti ya kuyela — yuka ni banikuna myawu, fiki yibwila mu munwa wa wuna wisi dya. 13Tala, baphumbulu baku benina bakhetu hana kati dyaku. Myelu mya tsi yaku myákanguka boosu kwena bambeni baku; mbawu yádya bikangu byaku. b b v13 Kutela baphumbulu ni bakhetu kwákala mfinga wa kala-kala, disongidila ni báfwiisa kikesa kyosu kya kunwana mvita.
14Tekenu mamba kikuma kya tangwa dya kuzingwa; zyamisenu bibaka byenu bya ngolu; kotenu mu tuma amana lunyata phophu; simbenu kibumbilu kya matufi! 15Kuna mbawu yikádya ngeyi; mbedi yikákuzenga; yikákuzinisa hanga phasu ya leke. Luvudisenu hanga phasu ya leke; luvudisenu hanga baphasu ba nkangu! 16Wávudisa bakwa kita baku kuluta tutumbwa twa mazilu. Phasu ya leke yisi botula tsi amana yisi dumuka kwenda. 17Bakengidi baku benina hanga baphasu, yi bazusi baku benina hanga matuti ma baphasu mana masi vwanda ha thandu ya bibaka mu kilumbu kya kyosi — ha kalubuka tangwa, masi dumuka kwenda, amana ka mutu ku wukázaya ku biki benina.
18Bakalema baku bana leka, kyamvu wa Asiliya; batu baku ba luzitu bana leka. Batu baku básanzana ha thandu ya myongu, konda mutu wa kubakútikisa. 19Lusadisu lwenina ku kikuma kya mputa yaku; mputa yaku yenina ya lufwa. Batu boosu bana bayuka musamu waku bisi bula moku ha thandu yaku, mukuma nani wukondi yukila mayedi maku mambi makonda tsuka mana máhitila hana yandi mbala yi mbala?
