34 Na kabili Yehova anjebele ati:
2 “We mwana wa muntu, sesema pa fyabipa ifikacitikila bakacema ba mu Israele. Sesema, kabili ubebe auti, ‘Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila: “We bulanda kuli bakacema ba mu Israele,+ abailiisha abene! Bushe te mpaanga bakacema bafwile ukulaliisha?+
3 Imwe mulalya amafuta ya nama, mufwala ifya kufwala fya masako ya mpaanga kabili mwipaya inama ishainisha,+ lelo tamuliisha umukuni.+
4 Ishanaka tamwashikosha, ishalwala tamwashundapa, ishacenwa tamwashikakila ifilonda, ishafuma pa mukuni tamwashibwesha kabili ishaluba tamwashifwaya,+ lelo mwashitekela mu bukali kabili mu bunkalwe.+
5 E ico shalisalangana pantu takwali kacema wa kushicema;+ shalisalangene kabili shaishileba ifya kulya fya nama mpanga shonse.
6 Impaanga shandi shalelulumba fye pa mpili shonse na pa tupili tonse; impaanga shandi shalisalanganine pe sonde ponse, ukwabula no wa kushifwaya nelyo uwa kushisokota.
7 “‘“E ico mwe bakacema, umfweni icebo ca kwa Yehova:
8 Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila, ‘“Na pali ne mwine, apo impaanga shandi shasangwike ifya kulya fya nama, ifya kulya fya nama mpanga shonse, pa mulandu wa kuti takwali kacema uwa kushicingilila, kabili pa mulandu wa kuti bakacema bandi tabafwaile impaanga shandi, lelo baleiliisha fye abene kabili tabaleliisha impaanga shandi,”’
9 mwe bakacema, umfweni icebo ca kwa Yehova.
10 Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila: ‘Nkalwisha bakacema kabili nkabalubulwisha pa mpaanga shandi,* nkabalesha no kuliisha impaanga shandi+ kabili bakacema tabakatwalilile ukuiliisha* abene. Nkapokolola impaanga shandi ku tunwa twabo, kabili tashakatwalilile ukuba ifya kulya fyabo.’”
11 “‘Pantu Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova alanda ati: “Moneni, ine ndi no kufwaya impaanga shandi kabili nkalashisakamana ne mwine.+
12 Nkasakamana impaanga shandi nga filya kacema uwasanga impaanga shakwe ishasalangana ashiliisha.+ Nkashipususha ukufuma mu ncende monse umo shasalanganine mu bushiku bwa makumbi kabili ubwafiita sana.+
13 Nkashifumya mu nko kabili nkashilonganya ukufuma mu fyalo no kushileta mu calo ca shiko, kabili nkashiliishisha pa mpili sha mu Israele,+ mupepi no tumilonga kabili mupepi ne ncende shonse isha kwikalamo isha mu calo.
14 Nkashiliishisha mu ncende umwaba umulemfwe uusuma, kabili shikaliila pa mpili ishitali+ isha mu calo ca Israele. Kulya e ko shikalayolwela mu ncende ya mulemfwe uusuma,+ kabili shikalalya umulemfwe uusuma pa mpili sha mu Israele.”
15 “‘“Ine ne mwine nkaliisha impaanga shandi,+ kabili ine ne mwine nkalenga shikayolole,”+ e fyo Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova alanda.
16 “Iyaluba nkaifwaya,+ iyafuma pa mukuni nkaibwesha, iyacenekwa nkaikakila ifilonda kabili iyanaka nkaikosha; lelo nkalofya iyaina ne yakosa. Nkalenga ubupingushi bukabe ifya kulya fya iko.”
17 Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila: “Nomba imwe mwe mpaanga shandi, ndi no kupingula impaanga shonse kabili ndi no kupingula impaanga ishilume ne mbushi ishilume.+
18 Bushe mumona ukuti cintu icinono ifi mulya umulemfwe uwawamisha? Bushe mufwile no kunyantaula uwashalapo? Kabili pa numa ya kunwa amenshi ayalengama sana, bushe mufwile ukunyantaulamo pa kuti yafundauke?
19 Bushe nomba impaanga shandi shifwile ukulalya umulemfwe uo mwanyantaulapo no kunwa amenshi ayo mwafundaula na makasa yenu?”
20 “‘E ico Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova alebeba ati: “Moneni, ine ne mwine nkapingula impaanga iyaina ne mpaanga iyaonda,
21 pantu ku mbafu shenu na ku mabeya yenu e ko mwaleshisunkila, kabili ku nsengo shenu e ko mwaletunkwila shonse ishalwele mpaka mwashisalanganishisha mu fyalo fimbi.
22 Kabili nkapususha impaanga shandi, ica kuti tashakatwalilile ukuba ifya kulya fya nama mpanga;+ kabili nkapingula ukuti iyi impaanga ya kaele e lyo imbi te ya kaele.
23 Nkemya kacema umo,+ umubomfi wandi Davidi,+ kabili akalashiliisha. Ena akalashiliisha kabili akaba kacema wa shiko.+
24 Kabili ine ne Yehova, nkaba Lesa wa shiko,+ no mubomfi wandi Davidi akaba intungulushi pali shena.+ Ine ne Yehova, ninanda.
25 “‘“Kabili nkapangana nasho icipangano ca mutende,+ nkalofya ne nama mpanga ishikali+ mu calo, pa kuti impaanga shandi shikaleikala umutende mu matololo kabili shikalelaala mu mitengo.+
26 Nkalenga shikabe ipaalo, nkalenga ne ncende iyashinguluka akapili kandi ikabe ipaalo,+ kabili nkalenga imfula ikaloke pa nshita iyalinga. Amapaalo yakalaloka fye nge mfula.+
27 Ifimuti fya mu mpanga fikatwala ifisabo, umushili na o ukamesha ifimenwa,+ kabili abantu bandi bakekala mu calo ukwabula nangu cimo ica kubatiinya. Kabili bakeshiba ukuti nine Yehova ilyo nkafunaula ifimuti fya makoli yabo,+ na lintu nkabapususha ku bantu ababatekele ubusha.
28 Inko tashakatwalilile ukulya impaanga shandi, kabili inama mpanga isha mwi sonde tashakashilye, shikalaikala umutende ukwabula nangu umo uwa kushitiinya.+
29 “‘“Nkashilimbila ifilimwa fya lulumbi, tashakatwalilile ukufwa ku cipowe mu calo,+ kabili inko tashakatwalilile ukushiseebanya.+
30 ‘Lyena bakeshiba ukuti, ine ne Yehova Lesa wabo, naba nabo no kuti aba mu ng’anda ya kwa Israele, bantu bandi,’+ e fyo Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova alanda.”’
31 “‘Nomba imwe mwe mpaanga shandi,+ mwe mpaanga isho nsakamana, muli bantunse fye, kabili ine nine Lesa wenu,’ e fyo Shikulu mulopwe Yehova alanda.”
