Ulwimbo lwa Nyimbo 3:1-11
3 “Nga nalaala pa busanshi bwandi ubushiku nalefwaya uo umutima wandi watemwa.+ Nalimufwaile, lelo nshamusangile.
2 Awe kanjime fye, mpitane mu musumba;+ mu misebo na mu mansa+ mfwaye uo umutima wandi watemwa. Nalimufwaile, lelo nshamusangile.
3 Abalinshi+ abalepitana mu musumba balinsangile, na ine nabepwishe ati, ‘Bushe namumonako uo umutima wandi watemwa?’
4 Awe cilya nafuma fye apo bali e lyo nasangile uo umutima wandi watemwa. Nalimwikete, kabili nshamulekele aye, nasuka namuleta mu ng’anda ya kwa mayo kabili mu muputule wa mu kati uwa wanjimite.
5 Mwe bana banakashi ba mu Yerusalemu, ndemulenga ukulapila+ mu mpombo ishikota atemwa mu nsebula ishikota isha mu mpanga,+ ukuti te kwesha ukubuusha nangu ukubalamuna icitemwiko muli ine cikasuke aci-ishila fye icine.”+
6 “Cinshi ici icilefuma mu matololo nge ntumba ya cushi, ico balesansako muri* na libani,+ ne fya buunga buunga fyonse ifyanunkila bwino ifya kwa shimakwebo?”+
7 “Mona! Ica kusendamapo cakwe, ica kwa Solomone. Impalume amakumi mutanda (60) bonse nabacishishinguluka, abaume ba maka aba mu bena Israele,+
8 bonse nabekata ulupanga, balesambilila inkondo, bonse bali no lupanga lwabo pe tanta pa mulandu wa filenga umwenso ubushiku.”+
9 “Macila ayo Imfumu Solomone yaipangiile ku fimuti fya ku Lebanone.+
10 Impanda sha yako yapangile isha silfere, apa kushintilila apa golde. Apa kwikala paba apakashikila, mu kati ka macila mwaliyemfiwe bwino bwino ku bana banakashi ba ku Yerusalemu.”
11 “Fumeni mumone, mwe bana banakashi ba mu Sione, Imfumu Solomone ne cisote+ ca bufumu ico nyina+ amupikwilile ica kufwala pa bushiku bwa bwinga bwakwe na pa bushiku bwa kusekelela kwa mutima wakwe.”+
