Omu na elago mwa nyanyukwa mwa fa ondema tayi yungula olupale, tamu hehema mwa fa okakambe okatsezi, 12 ihe oshilando sheni oshinene otashi ka fupipikwa nokusithwa ohoni.

Omukwiilongo kehe a kala mo, ota ka haluka kehomono lyaahanaguli e ta ka shuna koshilongo shaandjawo.”
Egaluko lyaIsrael

Opo ihe Nebukadnezzar, omukwaniilwa gwaBabilon, okwa kunya omasipa gawo. 18 Molwashika ngame, Omuwa Omunankondoawike, otandi ka geela omukwaniilwa Nebukadnezzar noshilongo she, naanaa ngaashi nda geelele omupangeli gwaAssur. 19 Otandi ka galulila Aaisraeli kevi lyawo. Otaa ka lya iikulya ya mena kondundu Karmel nomoshikandjo Baasha notaa ka kutitha ondjala yawo niilikolwa tayi zi miikandjo yaEfraim naGilead. 20 Ethimbo nge lya thikana, muIsrael itamu ka monika we ombedhi nuukolokoshi muJuda, oshoka otandi ka dhimina po aantu mboka nde ya hupitha ko. Ongame, Omuwa, nda popi.”
Kalunga ta geele Babilonia
21 Omuwa ota ti: “Ponokeleni aantu muMeratajim nomuPekod. Ya yapulileni Omuwa nokugana, mu ya dhipage noku ya hanagula po sheke. Gwanitheni ashihe tandi mu lombwele. Ongame, Omuwa, nda popi. 22 Oshihomo sholugodhi otashi uvika moshilongo, noku na ehanagulo enene. 23 Babilonia osha nyankagula po uuyuni auhe, ngashingeyi osilwa ndjoka oya nyanyagulwa po! Iigwana ayihe oya haluka kushoka sha ningilwa oshilongo shoka. 24 Babilonia, owa kondjitha ndje, nowa kwatwa komwigo ngoka nde ku tegele, nando ino shi tseya. 25 Onde egulula ompungulilo yandje yomatati nomondjahi yandje onde ga kutha mo, oshoka ngame, Omupangeliawike, Omuwa Omunankondoawike, ondi na iilonga tandi yi longo muBabilon. 26 Shi matukileni tamu ziilile koombinga adhihe.

Yaye Aababilonia! Ethimbo olya thikana, ya geelwe.”
28 (Oontauki ndhoka dha zi muBabilonia nodhe ya kuJerusalem, odha hokolola, nkene Omuwa Kalunga ketu a polithile ondjahi ye mAababilonia, mboka ya hanagula po otempeli ye.)
29 “Lombweleni oondjumbeta, ya ponokele Babilon. Tumii ko mboka ye shi okushoneka nawa iikuti. Kondekeni oshilando, inamu etha mu ze nando omuntu. Shi peni ondjambi ndjoka she yi ilongele; shi ningeni ngaashi sha ningi yakwawo, oshoka osha shongo ndje, ongame, Omuyapuki gwaIsrael. 30 Onkee ano aagundjuka yasho otaa ka sila momapandaanda goshilando, naakwiita yasho ayehe otaa ka kombwa po esiku ndyoka. Ongame, Omuwa, nda popi.
31 “Babilonia, owa kinga unene, onkee ngame, Omuwa Omunankondoawike, onda tsa ondumbo nangoye. Ethimbo olya thiki, ndi ku geele. 32 Shigwana ngoye ho inomo, oto ka punduka; oto gwile po, nokaku na ngoka te ku kwatha. Iilando yoye otandi ke yi tomeka omulilo, noshaa shoka she ku kunduka, otashi ka hanagulwa po.”
33 Omuwa Omunankondoawike ota ti: “Aaisraeli nAajuda oya hepekwa. Ayehe mboka ye ya kwata po, oye ya thitikinine mo noinaye ya etha we. 34 Ihe omumangululi gwawo oye omunankondo — edhina lye oye Omuwa Omunankondoawike. Oye mwenemwene ti ikwatele ko nota ka eta ombili kombanda yevi, ihe kAababilonia omalwa.”
35 Omuwa ota ti:
“Nakusa oBabilon!
Oonakusa aantu yasho, aaleli yasho naanongo yasho.
36 Oonakusa aahunganeki yasho yiifundja —
oya goyapala ngiini!
Oonakusa aakwiita yasho —

37 Hanagulii po uukambe nomatembakwiita gasho.
Oonakusa aakwiita yasho aahehelwa —
oyo aambanda ngiini!
Hanagulii po omaliko gasho;
hakaneni iihakanwa.
38 Oluteni nalu kalaganye,
omilonga dhi pwine.
Babilonia evi lyiimenka iitilithi,
mbyoka ya thethepaleke aantu.
39 “Babilon otashi ka kalwa koombidhi, komambungu nokoondhila dha nyata. Itamu ka kala we aantu, sigo aluhe. 40 Babilon otashi ka ningwa ngaashi Sodom naGomorra, sho nde ya hanagula nomikunda dhopuushiinda wayo. Kaku na we ngoka na ka kala mo. Ongame, Omuwa, nda popi.
41 “Oku na aantu taa ziilile koshilongo shokuumbangalantu,
oshigwana oshinankondo otashi zi kokule;
aakwaniilwa oyendji otaa ilongekidhile iita.
42 Oya homata omatati nomagonga;
oyo aananyanya, kaa na nando onge.
Oshihomo shawo osha fa efuta tali pupu,
sho ya kayila uukambe wawo.
Oyi ilongekidhila okuhomona Babilonia.
43 Omukwaniilwa gwaBabilonia sho tu uvu onkundana,
omaako ge otaga gonwa.
Ye mwene ota kwatwa komahwilili
a fa omukiintu ta thetwa.
44 “Otandi ke ya nda fa onime ya hituluka mongoya yomugulu gwaJordan tayi ya melundu lyuunapelo, nohaluka otandi ka yitha Aababilonia ontuku, ya thige po oshilando shawo. Nena omupangeli ngoka tandi hogolola, ota ka lela oshigwana. Olye ta yelekwa nangame? Olye ti itakeke ndje? Omupangeli lye ta kondjitha ndje? 45 Onkee ano pulakeneni shoka nda dhiladhilile oshilando Babilon, naashoka nda sheya okuningila aantu yasho. Nokuli naanona yawo otaa ka kookololwa po, noshaa ngoka ota ka haluka. 46 Uuna Babilon tashi teka po, otaku ka kala endundumo enene tali kakamitha evi alihe, nekugagano lyehaluko otali ka uvika kiigwana.”
