Okutekapo kwaBabilon
1 Ndika olyo ehulilo lyiimenka yaBabilon.
Bel naNebo oya li ya simanekwa nale,
ihe ngashingeyi otayi tsilikwa kuusino,
yi ninge omitsalo koombunda dhiinamwenyo ya loloka.
2 Iimenka itayi vulu okwiihupitha yo yene;
otayi kwatwa po notayi yiwa nayo.
Ndika olyo ehulilo lyiimenka yaBabilon.
3 “Pulakenii ndje, ne oluvalo lwaJakob,
amuhe mboka mwa hupu ko yomoshigwana shaIsrael.
Onde mu dhiginine okuza kevalo lyeni.
4 Ongame Kalunga keni notandi mu gamene,
sigo tamu kulupa mu ninge oomvi.
Onde mu shiti notandi mu gamene;
otandi mu kwatha notandi mu hupitha.
5 “Otamu yeleke ndje nalye?
Oku na tuu ngoka a fa ndje?
6 Aantu taa dhitula oompunda dhawo e taa pimpi mo oshingoli;
otaa vihi oshisiliveli moshiviha.
Otaa futu omuhambuli gwoshingoli, a hambule oshimenka;
otaye shi inyongamene e taye shi simaneke!
7 Oyo taye shi itsike komapepe gawo e taye shi humbata;
otaye shi thikameke, sho itaashi vulu okwiinyenga.
Ngele ku na ngoka te shi galikana,
itashi vulu okuyamukula nenge shi mu hupithe muudhigu.
Omuwa oye mwene gwonakuyiwa
8 “Ne aalunde, dhimbulukweni shika;
shi konakoneni moomwenyo dheni, ne aanandumbo.
9 Dhimbulukweni shoka sha ningilwe konale ndjo;

nokaku na we gulwe e thike pungame.
10 Okuza kontsapo onda hunganeke mbyoka tayi ya;
onalenale nda popi mbyoka tayi ka ningwa.
Onda tile, omadhiladhilo gandje itaga ka gwila pevi,
notii ka gwanitha ashihe nda hala oku shi ninga.
11 Otandi ithana omuntu e ye ta zi kuuzilo;
ota ka koloka ko a fa okakodhi
e ta gwanitha shoka nda dhiladhila.
Onda popi, notashi ka gwanithwa.
12 Pulakenii ndje, ne aatangalali,
one tuu mboka mwa kala kokule nuuyuuki.
13 Otandi eta esiku lyuuyuuki popepi,
kali li we kokule.
Ehupitho lyandje itali kankama we.
Otandi hupitha Sion
nokweetela Israel esimano.
