Ulwimbo lwa Nyimbo 4:1-16
4 “Ala kwena waliyemba,+ we munandi uo natemwa! Ala waliyemba! Amenso yobe yali nga amenso ya nkunda,+ mu nsalu iyo ufimbene.+ Umushishi obe waba ngo mukuni wa mbushi+ ishifumine mu citungu ca mpili ica Gileadi.+
2 Ameno yobe yaba ngo mukuni wa mpaanga ishikota+ isho babeyele nomba line isho bafuma mu kusamba, shonse fye ishilefyala bampundu, tapali nangu imo iyafwilwapo abana.
3 Imilomo yobe yaba ngo bushishi ubwakashika ce, ne milandile yobe isuma.+ Insensematwi shobe shaba nge fipandwa fya mapomegranate mu nsalu iyo ufimbene.+
4 Umukoshi+ obe waba ngo lupungu+ lwa kwa Davidi, ulwakuulilwa na mabwe, umwakobekwa inkwela ikana limo (1,000), shonse ni nkwela+ sha mpalume.
5 Amabele+ yobe yaba nga bampundu, abana babili aba mpombo ishikota ishilelya mu maluba ya mu mpanga.”+
6 “Mpaka inshita umwela uwatalala wapepelesha+ ne finshingwa fyabutuka, ndeya ku lupili lwa muri* na ku kapili ka libani.”+
7 “Waliyemba+ muli fyonse, we mukashana wandi, kabili tamwaba kalema muli iwe.+
8 Tuleya tufume mu Lebanone, we nabwinga wandi,+ natuye tufume mu Lebanone.+ Utentemuke ufume pa muulu wa Amana, ufume pa muulu wa Seniri+ na Hermone,+ ufume umwikala inkalamo, ufume pa mpili sha mbwili.
9 Wanjimya umutima, we nkashi+ yandi, we nabwinga wandi,+ wanjimya umutima pa kundolesha fye ilinso lyobe limo,+ pa kubeeka fye kumo ukwa kamunyololo kobe aka mu mukoshi.
10 Ifyo cawama icitemwiko cobe,+ we nkashi yandi, we nabwinga wandi! Icitemwiko cobe calicila pa mwangashi no kununkila kwa mafuta yobe calicila imisango yonse iya mafuta ayanunkila bwino!+
11 Imilomo yobe itonya+ uluto lwa buci, we nabwinga wandi. Ubuci+ no mukaka fili mwi samba lya lulimi lobe, no kununkila kwa fya kufwala fyobe kuli ngo kununkila+ kwa Lebanone.
12 Nkashi yandi,+ nabwinga wandi, libala ilyapindililwa, kamfukumfuku akacingililwa.
13 Inkanda yobe libala lya mapomegranate, umwaba ifisabo ifishaiwamina,+ ifilimwa fya henna na nardi;+
14 nardi+ ne luba lya ntongola,+ iciloolo+ na kinemone,+ ne misango yonse iya miti ya libani, muri* ne cikulankonde,+ pamo na mafuta yonse ayanunkila bwino nga nshi;+
15 kabili ni we kamfukumfuku akatapilila amabala yandi, icishima ca menshi ayalengama,+ kabili utumilonga utupita ukutula ku Lebanone.+
16 Buuka, we mwela wa ku kapinda ka ku kuso, na we wa ku kapinda ka ku kulyo, isa.+ Pepelesha pe bala lyandi.+ Lekeni icena icisuma icilimo cisalanganinemo.”
“Lekeni umutemwikwa wandi engile mwi bala lyakwe no kulya ifisabo fya liko ifisuma nga nshi.”
