Jeremia ta nyenyetele Omuwa
7 Omuwa, ongoye wa kotokele ndje, nonda kotokelwa.
Ongoye omunankondo u vule ndje,
owa gwililile ndje po.
Shaa ngoka ota ningi ndje oshipwedhela,
otaa nyonkele ndje omutenya aguhe.
8 Nge tandi popi,
ondi na okwiigidha tandi kololoka te ti: “Eyugo! Ehanagulo!”
Omuwa, otandi yolwa nonda nyemwa,
uuna tandi uvitha oohapu dhoye.
9 Ihe nge te ti: “Otandi dhimbwa, ite popi we medhina lye,”
nena etumwalaka lyoye olya fa omulilo gwa hwama meni lyandje.
Onde gu idhidhimikile,
ihe ine vula okumwena.
10 Ondu uvite, ayehe taa nongona taa ti:
“Omahalutho akuhe! Natu ke mu popyeni kaambala!”
Nookuume kandje oya langela ndje taa ti:
“Pamwe tatu mu tula muugoya, nena otatu mu kwata
e tatu polithile ondjahi yetu muye.”
11 Ihe, Omuwa, ongoye u li pamwe nangame,
omunankondo nomunamatha;
aatidhagani yandje otaa ka punduka
yo itaa vulu sha.
Otaa ka sithwa ohoni sigo aluhe,
oshoka itaa ka tompola sha.
Ohoni yawo itayi ka dhimbiwa.
12 Ihe, Omuwa Omunankondoawike, oto yeleke aayuuki;
owa tseya shoka shi li momitima nomomatedho gawo.
Pitika ndje ndi tale, sho to geele aatondi yandje,
oshoka ondi ikalitha miikaha yoye.
13 Imbileni Omuwa!
Hambeleleni Omuwa!
Oye ha yululula omuhepekwa miikaha yaakolokoshi.
14 Esiku nda valwa nali thingwe!
Esiku ndyoka meme a vala ndje inali yambekwa!
15 Ethingano nali adhe omuntu ngoka a nyanyudha tate pombanda,
sho e mu etele onkundana tayi ti:
“Okamati! Wa mono omumati!”
16 Na fe iilando mbyoka Omuwa a hanagula po pwaa na ohenda.
Ongula na uve onkugo yuuwehame
nonkalu moshanga shomutenya,
17 oshoka ina dhipagela ndje mela lyameme.
Ando oshivalelo shameme sha ningi ombila yandje
nela lye ondjugo yandje sigo aluhe!
18 Omolwashike nda zi mo moshivalelo shameme,
ndi mone iihuna nuudhigu mbu
nondi hulithile omwenyo gwandje mohoni?
