2 Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila: “Pa mulandu wa kuti umulwani asosa pali iwe+ ati, ‘Eya! Ne fifulo fya kupepelapo ifya kale na kale+ nomba fyesu!’”’+
3 “E ico sesema no kutila, ‘Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova asosa ati: “Pa mulandu wa kuti bakusha icibolya+ no kukutaakanya konse fye,+ pa kuti ube icuma ca bashalapo aba mu nko+ kabili bakulandapo fye pe ku bantu,+ kuli ne lyashi ilibi pa bantu,+
4 e ico, mwe mpili sha kwa Israele,+ umfweni amashiwi ya kwa Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova! E fyo Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova asosele ku mpili na ku tupili, ku mimana na ku mipokapoka na ku ncende shaonaika umushaba akantu+ na ku misumba iyaba ifibolya iya kupokololamo ifipe no kusekwa ku bashalapo ba mu nko ishashinguluka;+
5 e ico Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila, ‘Cine cine mu kucincila kwandi ukwaba ngo mulilo e mo nkasosela+ ku bashalapo aba mu nko na ku bena Edomu bonse,+ e kutila inko ishaipeela icalo candi ku kuba icabo shileanga na mu mitima ya shiko yonse,+ no kutumfya,+ pa mulandu wa mpanga ya ciko iya mulemfwe pa kuti bacipoke.’”’+
6 “E ico sesemena icalo ca Israele, usose na ku mpili no tupili, ku mimana na ku mipokapoka auti, ‘Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova asosa ati: “Moneni! Nasosa ku kucincila kwandi kabili ku bukali bwandi, pa mulandu wa kuti inko shalikuseebanya.”’+
7 “E ico Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila, ‘Ine naimya ukuboko kwandi no kulapa+ nati inko ishakushinguluka e shikaseebana.+
8 Na imwe, mwe mpili sha kwa Israele, mukapuuka imisambo no kutwala ifisabo fya kulya abantu bandi abena Israele,+ pantu balaswa bese.+
9 Pantu ndemwafwa, kabili ndi no kupilibukila kuli imwe,+ kabili mukalimwa no kubyalwamo imbuto.+
10 Kabili nkafusha pali iwe abantunse, aba mu ng’anda ya kwa Israele bonse,+ ne misumba ikekalwamo,+ ne ncende shaonaulwa shikakuulwa cipya cipya.+
11 Cine cine, nkafusha pali iwe abantunse ne nama,+ fikafula no kufyalana, nkalenga mukekalwemo nga fintu cali kale+ kabili nkacita ifisuma ifingi muli imwe ukucila ifyo nacitile kale;+ e lyo mukeshiba ukuti nine Yehova.+
12 Awe nkalenga abantunse ukwenda pali imwe, e kutila abantu bandi abena Israele, na imwe mukaba abantu babo,+ kabili mukaba ubupyani bwabo,+ kabili tamwakabalenge ukufwilwa+ abana na kabili.’”
13 “Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila, ‘Pa mulandu wa kuti kuli abatila kuli imwe: “Ni mwe mulya abantu, kabili muli calo icilenga inko shenu ukufwilwa abana,”’+
14 ‘e ico tamwakalye abantu na kabili,+ nangu kulenga inko shobe ukufwilwa abana,’+ e fyasosa Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova.
15 ‘Nshakaleke na kabili ukuti kukomfwike umuseebanya wa nko pali imwe,+ tamwakomfwe no musaalula wa bantu na bantu na kabili,+ kabili tamwakapunwishe ne nko shenu,’ e fyasosa Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova.”
16 Icebo ca kwa Yehova caishile kuli ine na kabili, aciti:
17 “We mwana wa muntu, aba mu ng’anda ya kwa Israele baleikala mu calo cabo, kabili balecikowesha ku mibele yabo ne micitile yabo.+ Imibele yabo yaba nga makowesha ya mwanakashi ilyo ali ku mweshi.+
18 E ico napongolwele ubukali bwandi pali bena pa mulandu wa mulopa basumishe pa calo,+ icalo ico bakoweseshe ku tulubi twabo utwa bunani.+
19 Kabili nabapashiile mu nko, na bo basalanganine mu fyalo.+ Nabapingwile ukulingana ne mibele yabo kabili ukulingana ne micitile yabo.+
20 Awe balifikile ku nko isho baileko, kabili abantu batendeke ukuseebanya ishina lyandi ilya mushilo+ pantu abantu basosele pali bena ati, ‘Aba bantu ba kwa Yehova, kabili bafumina mu calo cakwe.’+
21 Kabili nkomfwila ishina lyandi ilya mushilo uluse, ilyo aba mu ng’anda ya kwa Israele baseebanya mu nko isho bayamo.”+
22 “E ico sosa ku ba mu ng’anda ya kwa Israele auti, ‘Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila: “Te pa mulandu wa imwe ndecitila ici, mwe ba mu ng’anda ya kwa Israele, lelo ni pa mulandu we shina lyandi ilya mushilo, ilyo mwaseebanya mu nko isho mwayamo.”’+
23 ‘Kabili nkalenga ishina lyandi ilikalamba ukuba ilya mushilo,+ ishina ilyo mwaseebanya mu nko; ne nko shikeshiba ukuti nine Yehova,’+ e fyasosa Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova, ‘ilyo nkailenga ukuba uwa mushilo muli imwe pa menso yabo.+
24 Kabili nkabuula imwe ukufuma mu nko no kumulonganika ukufuma mu fyalo fyonse no kumutwala mu calo cenu.+
25 Nkamusansa amenshi ya busaka, na imwe mukaba aba busaka;+ nkamulenga ukuba aba busaka ku kukowela kwenu konse+ na ku tulubi twa bunani tonse.+
26 Kabili nkamupeela umutima upya,+ no kubika mu nda shenu umupashi upya,+ nkafumya umutima wa libwe mu mibili yenu no kumupeela umutima wanaka ngo munofu.+
27 Kabili nkabika umupashi wandi mu nda shenu,+ no kucitapo fimo pa kuti mukale-enda mu fipope fyandi,+ kabili mukalakonka ubupingushi bwandi no kubucita.+
28 Kabili mukekala mu calo ico napeele ifikolwe fyenu,+ kabili mukaba abantu bandi na ine nkaba Lesa wenu.’+
29 “‘Kabili nkapususha imwe ku kukowela kwenu konse+ kabili nkasosa ku ngano no kushifusha, kabili nshakamuletele icipowe.+
30 Nkafusha ne fisabo fya miti, no busomboshi bwa mu mabala yenu, pa kuti mwikaseebana na kabili ku nko pa mulandu wa cipowe.+
31 E lyo mukebukisha imibele yenu ibi ne micitile yenu iishali isuma,+ kabili mukomfwa ubunani mwe bene pa membu shenu na pa fya bunani ifyo mwacitile.+
32 Ishibeni ukuti te pa mulandu wenu ndecitila ifi,’+ e fyasosa Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova. ‘Umfweni insoni no kuseebana pa mulandu wa mibele yenu, mwe ba mu ng’anda ya kwa Israele.’+
33 “Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova asosa ati, ‘Mu bushiku ubo nkamusangulula ku membu shenu shonse, nkalenga ne misumba ukwikalwamo,+ ne ncende ishaonaulwa shikakuulwa cipya cipya.+
34 Ne calo icali icibolya bakalimamo, icali icaonaika ku menso ya mupitanshila onse.+
35 Na bantu bakasosa abati: “Moneni icalo cilya icali icibolya caba nge bala lya Edene,+ ne misumba iyali ifibolya kabili iyaonaika kabili iyabongoloka yakuulwako amalinga; mwaikala na bantu.”+
36 E lyo inko ishikashala ishamushinguluka shikeshiba ukuti ine ne Yehova, nine nkuulile ifyabongolweke,+ nalimba imiti umwali umwaonaika. Ine ne Yehova ninsosa, kabili nincita.’+
37 “Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila, ‘Ici e co nkaleka aba mu ng’anda ya kwa Israele ukunjipusha ukuti mbacitile:+ nkabafusha ngo mukuni.+
38 Ngo mukuni wa bantu ba mushilo, ngo mukuni wa Yerusalemu mu nshita ya mitebeto yakwe,+ e fyo imisumba iyali ifibolya ikesulamo ibumba lya bantu;+ e lyo abantu bakeshiba ukuti nine Yehova.’”
