2 Omuwa okwa ti: “Otandi ka hanagula po shaa shoka kombanda yevi, 3 aantu ayehe niinamwenyo noohi. Otandi ka komba po aakolokoshi ayehe. Otandi ka yonagula po aantu ayehe noitaku hupu nando ogumwe. Ongame Omuwa nde dhi popi.
4 “Otandi ka geela aantu ayehe yaJerusalem noyaJuda. Otandi ka hanagula po omathegela gesimaneko lyaBaal, nokaku na we ngoka ta ka dhimbulukwa aasaageli mboka ya li ya longele Baal. 5 Otandi ka hanagula po shaa ngoka ta londo koshihoko nota simaneke etango, omwedhi noonyothi.

7 Mweneni thilu koshipala shOmuwa. Oshoka esiku lyOmuwa oli li popepi, esiku uuna Kalunga ta ka ninga po sha Omuwa okwi ilongekidha okudhipaga aantu ye ngaashi iimuna. 8 Omuwa ota ti: “Esiku lyetselo otandi geele aambala, aana yokombanda aamati naayehe mboka taa holele aakwiilongo. 9 Otandi geele ayehe mboka haa tutula uudhano woshipagani naamboka haa yaka nohaa dhipaga, opo ya yambapaleke egumbo lyoshikalunga shawo.”
10 Omuwa ota ti: “Esiku ndyoka otamu ku uva omawi taga kugagana pOsheelo shoohi muJerusalem. Otamu ku uva etakumo moshitopolwa oshipe shoshilando nekolokoto enene koondundu. 11 Kugeni e tamu lili, ne mbo mu li molusilu lwoshilando, uuna tamu shi uvu, oshoka aapindiki ayehe otaa ka sa.
12 “Pethimbo mpoka otandi kutha olamba e tandi shilile Jerusalem. Otandi geele aantu mboka taa imbilipaleke noyi inekela yo yene notayi ipopile taa ti: ‘Omuwa ita tompola sha, shika nenge shiyaka.’ 13 Uuyamba wawo otau ka yugwa po nomagumbo gawo taga ka hanagulwa po. Itaa ka kala momagumbo ngoka taye ga tungu nenge okunwa omaviinu gomiitsambe mbyoka taye yi tsike.”

Otali ka kala esiku elulululu, oshoka aakwiita oofulelela otaa ka lila kuudhigu! 15 Otali ka kala esiku lyondjahi, esiku lyuuwehame nolyuudhigu, esiku lyeyonuko nolyehanagulo, esiku lyomilema nolyondhimeya, esiku lyiikogo nolyomuzimbi, 16 esiku lyelilo lyoombenda dhiita noonkalu dhaakwiita taa ponokele iilandohote nooshungo oondeendeka.
17 Omuwa ota ti: “Otandi ka tumina aantu uudhigu tau ya pampadhalitha ya fa aaposi. Oya yono kungame, nongashingeyi ombinzi yawo otayi ka tilwahi ya fa omeya, nomidhimba dhawo otadhi ka lala dho olela pevi.”

10 Muhona ma tja nai: “Meyuva ndo eṋe mamu zuu ombosiro pOmuvero wOhi mOjerusalem. Mamu zuu omaririro morukondwa orupe rwotjihuro, nomaporokotero omanene mozondunda. 11 Rireye nu mu ure tji mamu zuu otjiṋa hi, eṋe mbu mwa tura morukondwa rwokehi rwotjihuro, orondu ovarandise avehe novataure vovimariva mave ṱu!
12 “Moruveze ndo ami me toora emunine nu me konḓonona Jerusalem. Me vere ovandu mbe rivara kutja ovanahepero, nu mbe riyameka ku wo oveni, mbe rihungirira nai: ‘Muhona kamaa tjiti ouwa poo ouvi.’ 13 Outumbe wawo mau pundwa, nozondjuwo zawo maze haṋewa. Owo kamaave tura mozondjuwo nḓu mave tungu, nu kamaave nu omavinu womivite mbi mave kunu.”
