39 “Kabili iwe we mwana wa muntu, sesema ifyabipa ifikacitikila Goge,+ kabili umwebe auti, ‘Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila: “Nkakulwisha we Goge, we ntungulushi iikalamba* iya kwa Mesheke na Tubali.+
2 Nkakwalulula kabili nkakutungulula e lyo nkakufumye ku ncende ya kutali sana iya ku kapinda ka ku kuso,+ nkakulete na pa mpili sha mu Israele.
3 Nkoma ubuta bobe ubwa ku kuboko kobe ukwa ku kuso, kabili nkalenga imifwi ikapone ku kuboko kobe ukwa ku kulyo.
4 Pa mpili sha mu Israele e po ukafwila,+ iwe na mabumba yobe yonse aya bashilika e lyo ne nko isho ukaba nasho. Nkalenga ifyuni ne finama fya mpanga fikakulye.”’+
5 “‘Ukafwila mu mpanga umushaba akantu nangu kamo,+ pantu ine ninanda,’ e fyo Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova alanda.
6 “‘Nkatuma umulilo pa calo ca Magoge na pa bekala umutende pa fishi;+ kabili abantu bakeshiba ukuti nine Yehova.
7 Nkalenga abantu bandi abena Israele bakeshibe ishina lyandi ilya mushilo kabili nshakaleke bakatwalilile ukuseebanya ishina lyandi ilya mushilo; kabili inko shikeshiba ukuti nine Yehova,+ Uwa Mushilo wa mu Israele.’+
8 “‘Moneni! Ici cikacitika kabili cikafikilishiwa,’ e fyo Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova alanda. ‘Ubu e bushiku nalandilepo.
9 Abekala mu misumba ya mu Israele bakafuma, kabili ifyanso e fyo bakalakosesha umulilo; inkwela ishinono* ne nkwela ishikalamba, amata ne mifwi, inkonto* na mafumo. Kabili ifi e fyo bakalakosesha umulilo+ pa myaka 7.
10 Tabakaleteba inkuni mu mpanga, nelyo ukutema inkuni mu mitengo, pantu ku fyanso e ko bakalakosesha umulilo.’
“‘Bakapoka ifipe fya bantu abalebapoka ifipe, kabili bakasampa ifipe fya bantu abalesampa ifipe fyabo,’ e fyo Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova alanda.
11 “‘Pali ubo bushiku nkapeela Goge+ incende ya kumushiikamo mu Israele, mu mupokapoka umupita abaya ku kabanga ka bemba, kabili ikacilikila abapitamo. Kulya e ko bakashiika Goge na mabumba yakwe ayakalamba, kabili bakalaita iyi incende ukuti Umupokapoka wa Hamone-Goge.*+
12 Aba mu ng’anda ya kwa Israele bakalashiika aba pa myeshi 7 pa kuti bakasangulule icalo.+
13 Abantu bonse aba mu calo e bakalabashiika, kabili ici cikalenga bakalumbuke mu bushiku nkaicindamika,’+ e fyo Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova alanda.
14 “‘Abaume bakabapeela umulimo wa kupita mu calo libili libili, pa kuti bakaleshiika ifitumbi ifyashala pa mbilibili, pa kuti bakasangulule icalo. Bakatwalilila ukufwaya ifitumbi pa myeshi 7.
15 Abakalapita mu calo nga bamona ifupa lya muntu, bakalabikapo icishibilo. Lyena abo bakapeela umulimo wa kushiika amafupa, bakalayashiika mu Mupokapoka wa Hamone-Goge.+
16 Kabili kulya kukaba no musumba uo bakalaita ukuti Hamona.* Kabili bakasangulula icalo.’+
17 “Nomba iwe we mwana wa muntu, Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila, ‘eba ifyuni fya misango yonse ne nama sha mpanga shonse auti: “Longaneni kabili mwise. Longaneni kwi lambo ilyo ndemupekanishisha, ilambo ilikalamba pa mpili sha mu Israele.+ Mukalya iminofu kabili mukanwa umulopa.+
18 Mukalya iminofu ya baume aba maka, kabili mukanwa umulopa wa ntungulushi sha pe sonde—impaanga ishilume, utwana twa mpaanga, imbushi, ne ng’ombe ishilume—shonse ni nama ishaina isha ku Bashani.
19 Mukalya ifyanona mpaka mukekute, kabili mukanwa umulopa mpaka mukakolwe, pa mulandu ne lambo ilyo nkamupekanishisha.”’
20 “‘Pe tebulo lyandi, mukekuta bakabalwe na bendela mu maceleta, abaume aba maka, na baishiba sana ukulwa aba misango yonse,’+ e fyo Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova alanda.
21 “‘Nkalenga inko shikamone ubukata bwandi; kabili shikamona ubupingushi ubo nkapingula na maka ayo nkashilanga.*+
22 Ukutendekela pali bulya bushiku aba mu ng’anda ya kwa Israele bakeshiba ukuti nine Yehova Lesa wabo.
23 Kabili inko shikeshiba ukuti aba mu ng’anda ya kwa Israele balibasendele bunkole pa mulandu wa cilubo cabo, pa mulandu wa kuti tabali ne cishinka kuli ine.+ E ico nalifishile icinso candi kuli bena+ nabapeela na ku balwani babo,+ kabili bonse babepaile ku lupanga.
24 Ifyo nabacitile fyalingene no kukowela kwabo ne membu shabo, kabili nalifishile icinso candi kuli bena.’
25 “E ico Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila: ‘Nkabwesha bankole ba kwa Yakobo+ kabili bonse aba mu ng’anda ya kwa Israele+ nkabomfwila uluse; kabili nkaba uwacincila pa kucingilila ishina lyandi* ilya mushilo.+
26 Pa numa ya kuseebana pa mulandu wa kukanaba ne cishinka kuli ine,+ bakekala umutende mu calo cabo, ukwabula nangu umo uwa kubatiinya.+
27 Ilyo nkababwesha ukufuma mu nko kabili ilyo nkabalonganya ukufuma mu fyalo fya balwani babo,+ nkailanga ukuti ndi wa mushilo pa menso ya nko ishingi.’+
28 “‘Bakeshiba ukuti nine Yehova Lesa wabo, ilyo nkalenga inko shikabasende bunkole. Lyena pa numa nkabalonganika mu calo cabo, ukwabula ukushako nangu umo.+
29 Nshakatwalilile ukufisa icinso candi kuli bena,+ pantu nkapongolwela umupashi wandi pa ba mu ng’anda ya kwa Israele,’+ e fyo Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova alanda.”
