Kala omutumba pedu longaho, uhe na olukalwapangelo, oove omona okakadona kaKaldea, osheshi ito ifanwa vali omundebauki nomupu. 2 Kufa omushi u ka twe oufila; uvukulula oshipala shoye, tonya ominghulo doshikutu shoye, uvukulula omipindi doye, tauluka omilonga. 3 Uvukulula ohoni yoye, heeno, noukainhu woye tau ka monika. Ame ohandi ka xwenena, ndele ihandi ka fila nande omunhu onghenda. 4 Edina lOmukulili wetu olo Omwene womatanga ovakwaita, Omuyapuki waIsrael.

Ame itandi ka ninga omufiyekadi ile ndi kale ongadji. 9 Ndelenee oinima ei ivali otai ke ku hanga shimwe mefiku limwe, to kala uhe na oludalo ndele to ningi omufiyekadi wa papala ye ku hanga, nande ou nongudu yovanyanekeli nomuvalu weemhule muhapu. 10 Owa kala wa pamenena mowii woye, ove owa tile: Kape na ou ta mono nge. Eendunge doye nomayele oye okwe ku pukifa, nongaashi wa diladila komutima woye: “Aame andike, kape na vali umwe.” 11 Opo nee omupya otau ku hange, ito shiiva oku u ta po nounongo woulodi woye; ehanauno otali ku hange, ndele ito dulu oku li ta po, okuteka po kwoye taku uya divadiva fimbo ino shi shiiva. 12 Holoka noupule woye pamwe nongudu yeedudu doye we lihepeka nado okounyasha woye, pamwe to dulu sha, pamwe to tilifa sha. 13 Ove we lilolokifa, eshi to diladila eshi naashinya.

Kau fi omundilo womakala wokuxuxumukwa, kau fi omundilo wokukalwa puwo omutumba. 15 Hano osho ove to ka ningwa kuvenya we ve lihepekela okounyasha woye; ovo tuu ovo mwa landafana navo, ova pepuka po, va xwateka, va ya, kape na ou te ku xupifa.
Okutakumina Babilon
1 “Babilon, kuluka ko koshipangelapundi shoye,
kuutumba pevi montsi yevi.
Owa li nale wa fa omufuko,
oshilando ihaashi sindika,
ihe ku shi we omvalekele nomulelwa ondembula.
Ngashingeyi wa ningi omupika!
2 Kutha omuhi, nkwalula omunziya!
Isiikulula oshipala!
Hula mo utale ohema yoye ombwanawa!
Humina ohema yoye, u ka tokole omilonga!
3 Aantu otaa tala epenge lyoye;
otaa ka tala okufupipikwa kwoye nohoni yoye.
Ondi na onkone, nokape na ngoka ta politha ndje.”
4 Kalunga kaIsrael omuyapuki ote tu mangulula —
edhina lye Omuwa Omunankondoawike.
5 “Shilando ngoye, omufuko gwAababilon,
kuutumba wa tya thilu, inda momilema;
ito ithanwa we omunyekadhi gwiigwana.
6 Onda geele aantu yandje;
onda kala nayo ya fa yaa shi yandje.
Onde ya gandja miikaha yoye,
ongoye noino ya sila nando ohenda;
naakulupe owe ya ningi onyanya.
7 Owa dhiladhila u kale omunyekadhi aluhe.
Ino ipula niinima mbika
nenge u dhiladhile, nkene tayi ka hula po.
8 “Pulakena shika, ngoye omuholi gwiipala,
ngoka u li nawa e to ipopile to ti:
‘Ongame omunene nokaku na we.
Kandi na mpoka tandi ningi omuselekadhi
nenge ndi kale ndaa na oluvalo.’
9 Ihe ohaluka yowala, mesiku limwe
iinima mbika ayihe tayi ka ningwa.
Nando ou na oonganga odhindji noompulile ku mana,
omusamane gwoye oto ke mu kanitha,
oye pamwe naamwoye.
10 “Owa kala wa hokwa uuwinayi woye;
owa dhiladhila kutya kape na ngoka te ku mono.
Owa pukithwa koondunge nokuunongo woye.
Owi ipopile wa ti: ‘Ongame kalunga,
kaku na we gulwe a fa ndje.’
11 Oshiponga otashi ku ya,
nokaku na onganga tayi vulu oku shi kodheka.
Ehanagulo otali ku adha ohaluka —
ehanagulo inoo li yaguma nale.
12 Holoka noonganga noompulile dhoye,
ndhoka wa li ho anekelitha okuza muugundjuka woye.
Pamwe otadhi ke ku kwatha ngaa;
pamwe to ka halutha tuu aatondi yoye.
13 Owi ilolokitha nomayele gaagandjindunge yoye oyendji.
Aakonekinyothi yoye naa holoke po, opo ye ku hupithe —
aantu mboka haa koneke oonyothi,
mboka haa konenene oshipala shegulu,
naye ku lombwele omwedhi nomwedhi
shoka tashi ku ningilwa.
14 “Otaa ka fa etutu,
nomulilo otagu ke ya lungunitha po!
Itaa ka vula nando okwiihupitha.
Omalaka gomulilo otage ke ya latha po,
kagu shi omulilo gwokuhuhulukwa.
15 Mbika ayihe otaye yi ku ningile,
oomboka mwa longele kumwe nayo okuza kuugundjuka woye.
Shaa ngoka gwomuyo oti iyukile,
kaku na ngoka ta vulu oku ku hupitha.”
