Esaya 60:1-22
60 “Ima we mwanakashi,+ pantu ulubuuto lobe nalutendeka ukusanika.
Kabili ubukata bwa kwa Yehova nabukubalikila.+
2 Pantu mona! imfifi ikafimba isondeNe mfifi iyafiitisha ikafimba inko;Lelo Yehova akakubalikila,Kabili ubukata bwakwe bukamoneka pali iwe.
3 Inko shikaya ku lubuuto lobe+Kabili imfumu+ shikaya ku bukata bobe ububengeshima.*+
4 Inuna amenso yobe kabili lolesha konse konse!
Bonse nabalongana pamo; baleisa kuli iwe.
Abana bobe abaume balefuma+ ukutali sana,Kabili abana bobe abanakashi nababasendela pa ntungu.+
5 Pali ilya nshita ukamona kabili icinso cobe cikasekelela,+Umutima obe ukalatunta sana kabili ukasekelela,Pantu ifyuma fya muli bemba fikesa kuli iwe;Ifyuma fya nko fikesa kuli iwe.+
6 Mu calo cobe* mukesula amabumba ya ngamila,Ingamila ishana ishilume isha ku Midiani ne sha ku Efa.+
Shonse isha ku Sheba shikesa;Shikesa nashisenda golde no bubani bwabuuta.
Bakalumbanya Yehova+ pa cintubwingi.
7 Imikuni yonse iya ku Kedari+ bakailonganika no kuileta kuli iwe.
Impaanga ishilume isha ku Nebayote+ shikakubombela.
Nkashisuminisha+ ukwisa pa ciipailo candi,Kabili nkayemfya ing’anda+ yandi iya bukata.*
8 Ni bani aba abaleisa balepupuka nga makumbi,Abaleisa nge nkunda ishilepupukila pa fitele fya shiko?*
9 Pantu ifishi fikalasubila+ muli ine;Amato ayakalamba aya ku Tarshishi yali pa ntanshi,Yaleleta abana bobe ukufuma ukutali sana,+Pamo na silfere na golde yabo,Yalebaleta mu kulumbanya ishina lya kwa Yehova Lesa obe na mu kulumbanya Uwa Mushilo wa kwa Israele,Pantu akakucindamika.*+
10 Aba ku fyalo fimbi bakakuula ifibumba fyobe,Kabili imfumu shabo shikakubombela,+Pantu ilyo nakalipe nalikukandile,Lelo nkaba ne cikuuku kuli iwe kabili nkakubelela uluse.+
11 Impongolo shobe tashakesalwe;+Tashakesalwe akasuba nelyo ubushiku,Pa kuti bakakuletele ifyuma fya nko,Kabili imfumu shabo shikaba pa ntanshi.+
12 Pantu uluko lonse no bufumu bonse ubushakakubombele bukaloba,Kabili inko shikonaulwa.+
13 Ubucindami bwa ku Lebanone bukesa kuli iwe,+Bakakuletela ifimuti fya mukupri, umutidari pamo+ no mutashuri,Pa kuti ukayemfye icifulo candi ica mushilo;Nkacindamika icifulo apa kunyanta amakasa yandi.+
14 Abana ba balekucusha bakesakukontamina;Bonse abakusaalula bafwile ukufukama mupepi na makasa yobe,Kabili bakakwita ati umusumba wa kwa Yehova,Sione wa Wa Mushilo uwa kwa Israele.+
15 Mu cifulo ca kuti ukabe uwalekeleshiwa kabili bakakupate, ica kuti takwakabe nangu umo uukalapita muli iwe,+Nkalenga ukabe ico abantu bakalaitakishishapo umuyayaya,Kabili icikalenga aba mu nkulo+ shonse bakalesekelela.
16 Kabili ukanwa umukaka wa nko,+Ukoonka+ ibele lya mfumu;Kabili ukeshiba ukuti ine ne Yehova, nine nkupususha,Kabili Uwa Maka uwa kwa Yakobo e Kalubula obe.+
17 Apaba umukuba nkaletelapo golde,Kabili apaba icela nkaletelapo silfere,Apaba ifimuti nkaletelapo umukuba,Kabili apaba amabwe nkaletelapo icela,Nkasonta umutende ukabe kangalila obeNo bulungami bukabe kapitao+ obe.
18 Ulukaakala talwakomfwike na kabili mu calo cobeKabili ukutobaula no konaula tafyakomfwike mu mipaka+ yobe.
Uketa ifibumba fyobe ati Ipusukilo,+ kabili impongolo shobe ukashita ati Amalumbo.
19 Akasuba takakabe ulubuuto lobe na kabili mu nshita ya kasuba,No kubalika kwa mweshi takwakabe ulubuuto lobe,Pantu Yehova e ukaba ulubuuto+ lobe umuyayaya,Kabili Lesa obe akaba ukuyemba+ kobe.
20 Akasuba kobe takakawe na kabili,Kabili umweshi obe ukatwalilila fye ukubalika,Pantu Yehova akaba ulubuuto+ lobe umuyayaya,Ne nshiku shobe isha kuloosha shikapwa.+
21 Kabili abantu bobe bonse bakaba abalungama;Bakekala mu calo umuyayaya.
Abantu bobe, musonga uo nalimbile,Umulimo wa minwe+ yandi, pa kuti ncindamikwe.+
22 Abantu abanono bakaba ikana limo (1,000)Kabili abashakwata amaka bakaba uluko ulwa maka.
Ine ne Yehova nkalenga ifi fikacitike bwangu bwangu, pa nshita ya fiko.”
