3 Israyeli wakali kusalala kuli Jehova,+ wakali micelo iisaanguna kutebulwa kulinguwe.”’
‘Kufwumbwa muntu iwakali kusola kumumena buumbulu wakali kuba amulandu.

“Ino nkampenda nzi bamauso nkobakajana mulindime,+Cakuti bakaleyela kulamfwu kapati andime,Alimwi bakatobela mituni yabuyo+ akuba babuyo lwabo beni?+
6 Tiibakabuzya kuti, ‘Ino uli kuli Jehova,Ooyo wakatugwisya mucisi ca Egepita,+Ooyo wakatusololela munkanda,Munyika yazimpayuma+ azilindi,Munyika yacilala+ alimwi yamudima uusiya mbi,Munyika iitaindwi bantuAlimwi imutakkali bantu?’
7 Mpoonya ndakamusisya kunyika yamyuunda yamicelo,Kuti mulye micelo yanjiyo azintu zibotu zili mumo.+
Pele nywebo nomwakanjila mwakasofwaazya nyika yangu;Lukono lwangu mwakalucita kuba cintu cisesemya.+
8 Bapaizi kunyina nobakabuzya kuti, ‘Ino uli kuli Jehova?’+
Aabo ibakajisi Mulawo kunyina nobakandizyi pe,Beembezi bakandizangila,+Basinsimi bakali kusinsima muzina lya Baala,+Akutobela baabo batakali kukonzya kubagwasya.
9 ‘Aboobo ndilazumanana kukazyanya andinywe,’+ mbwaamba Jehova,‘Alimwi ndiyookazyanya abana babana banu.’
10 ‘Pele amuzabukile kuzyooko zyakunkomwe yalwizi* zyabana Kitimu+ kuti mukabone.
Inzya, amutume bantu ku Kedara+ kuti mukalomye kulanga-langa;Amubone naa kuli nicakacitikide cintu cili boobu.
11 Sena kuli cisi cakacincanya baleza bancico azintu zitali baleza beni-beni?

12 Amulange cintu eeci kamugambidwe kapati, nywebo nomajulu;Amukankame akaambo kakuyoowa kapati,’ mbwaamba Jehova,
13 ‘Nkaambo bantu bangu bacita zintu zyobilo zibi:
Bandisiya mebo, ndekasensa kamaanzi aabuumi,Kumane balisyida ziyobwedo zyamaanzi,+Ziyobwedo zyamaanzi zyaandukide, zitakonzyi kuyobola maanzi.’
14 ‘Sena Israyeli mubelesi naa muzike wakazyalilwa muŋanda?
Aboobo ino nkaambo nzi ncaaba wakusaala?
15 Basyuumbwa ibacili bana-bana bamuvwulumina;+Bavwuluma canguzu.

Kozyiba alimwi koyeeya mbocili cibi alimwi ambocilula+Kusiya Jehova Leza wako;Tondiyoowi pe,’+ mbwaamba Mwami Singuzuzyoonse, Jehova wamakamu.
20 ‘Nkaambo kaindi ndakatyolaula joko lyako+Akudunsaula nketani zyako.
Pele yebo wakati: “Tandikookubelekela pe,”
Nkaambo wakali kusalama kocita buvwuule+Atala aatulundu toonse tulamfwu alimwi amunsi lyazisamu zyoonse zifwefwema.+
21 Mebo ndakakusyanga koli musaansa mubotu uusubila,+ woonse buyo wakali mbuto ini-ini;Aboobo ino wacinca buti akuba milibo mibi yamusaansa mweenzu kulindime?’+
22 ‘Nokuba kuti usambe ansipa akubelesya mulota munji kapati,Cinyonyoono cako cinoocili cibata mumeso aangu,’+ mbwaamba Mwami Singuzuzyoonse Jehova.
23 Ino mbuti mbonga waamba kuti, ‘Tiindalisofwaazya pe.

Pele yebo wakati, ‘Tacigwasyi pe!+
Peepe! Mebo ndilabayanda beenzu* cakufwa,+Aboobo ndilabatobela.’+
26 Mbubonya mbwafwa nsoni mubbi ciindi naajatwa,Abalo bamuŋanda ya Israyeli mbobafwa nsoni,Balo beni, bami babo, basilutwe babo,Bapaizi babo alimwi abasinsimi babo.+
27 Baambila cisamu kuti, ‘Nduwe taata,’+
Alimwi baambila bbwe kuti, ‘Yebo nduwe wakandizyala.’
Pele mebo balandifwutatila, tabalangi kulindime pe.+
Lino baakusikilwa mapenzi bayakwaamba kuti,‘Nyamuka utufwutule!’+

Abanyamuke ikuti naa balakonzya kukufwutula muciindi camapenzi aakujisi,Nkaambo baleza bako bavwula kapati mbubonya mboibede minzi yako kuvwula, O Juda.+
29 ‘Nkaambo nzi ncomuzumanana kukazyanya andime?
Nkaambo nzi nywebo nyoonse ncomwandizangila?’+ mbwaamba Jehova.
30 Ndaile kuliminya buyo kuuma bana banu.+
Tiibasubuka pe;+Ipanga lyanu lyabamana doo basinsimi banu,+Mbubonya mbuli syuumbwa uuyaabujaya.
31 Nywebo nozyalani, amulilange-lange jwi lya Jehova.

Pele bantu bangu balo bandiluba mebo kwamazuba manji aatakonzyi kubalwa.+
33 Eelo kaka yebo omukaintu wapanga nzila zyako cabupampu kutegwa uyandaule luyando!

34 Noiba myoombe yazisani zyako ilaazibata zyabulowa bwabantu bacete ibatakwe mulandu,+Nokuba kuti tiindakabajanikizya kababba muŋanda yamuntu;Zibata zyabulowa bwabo zilaamyoombe yazisani zyako zyoonse.+
35 Pele yebo waamba kuti, ‘Tandijisi mulandu pe.
Masimpe bukali mbwaali kunditondezya bwamana.’
Lino ndiyanda kukupa mulanduAkaambo kakuti waamba kuti, ‘Tiindabisya pe.’
36 Ino nkaambo nzi ncoubya-ubya makani aanzila zyako zitasyomeki?
Awalo Egepita uyookujazya nsoni,+Mbubonya mbwaakakujazya nsoni Asuri.+
37 Alimwi akaambo kaceeci yebo uyakuunka koliingide maanza amutwe,+Nkaambo Jehova wabakaka aabo mbosyoma;Tabakakupi kuzwidilila pe.”
