Nahumu 2:1-13
2 Uusalanganya naisa mu kumusansa.*+
Lindeni amalinga yenu.
Lindeni imisebo yenu.
Ipekanyeni* kabili ikosheni.
2 Pantu Yehova akacindamika Yakobo na kabili,Akacindamika na Israele,Pantu abalwani babo balibonaula;+Kabili balyonaula* imisambo yabo.
3 Inkwela sha baume bakwe aba maka shalikashika,Abaume bakwe abaishiba sana ukulwa bafwala ifya kashika ce.
Ifyela fya ku maceleta yakwe aya nkondo fibeeka ngo muliloMu bushiku aleipekanya ukuya ku nkondo,Balalanga abalwani babo imifwi ya mukupri pa kuti babatiinye.
4 Bensha amaceleta ya nkondo bushilu bushilu mu misebo.
Bayabutausha mu mansa sha mu misumba.
Amaceleta yabeeka kwati fyenge ifileaka, kabili yabyasha nge nkuba.
5 Imfumu iketa abashilika ba iko aba maka.
Bakalaipununa pa kwenda.
Bakabutukila ku cibumba cakwe;Bakakosha ifya kubacingilila.
6 Impongolo sha mimana shikesulwa,Kabili isano likasunguluka.*
7 Kuli icipope ca kuti:* Bakamufuula,Bakamusenda kabili abasha bakwe abakashana bakalaloosha;Pa kuloosha bakalaumfwika nga filya inkunda shilila, uku ninshi baleuma na pa fifuba* fyabo.
8 Ukufuma fye na kale Ninebe+ yaba kwati cishiba ca menshi,Nomba abantu balefulumukamo.
Bamo bakalatila, “Imwe, iminineni! Iminineni!”
Lelo tapakabe abakapilibuka.+
9 Pokeni silfere, pokeni golde!
Ifyuma ifyo bakwata te fya kupenda.
Balisunga ifyuma fya misango yonse ifisuma nga nshi.
10 Mu musumba tamwakashale akantu, ukashala icibolya, ukonaika!+
Imitima yabo ikasunguluka ku mwenso, amakufi yabo yakalasokona kabili intungu shabo shikanaka;Bonse bakaba no mwenso.
11 Bushe icifulo umwikala inkalamo cili kwi,+ umo imisepela ya nkalamo* iliila?Cili kwisa icifulo uko inkalamo yaleya na kana,Ukushali nangu cimo ica kushitiinya?
12 Inama isho inkalamo yalesantaula, shalekumana utwana twaiko tonse,Kabili yaleipaila ishikota sha iko inama.
Mu filindi fya iko mwaleba inama lyonse,Mwaleba inama isho yalesantaula.
13 Yehova wa mabumba atila, “Mona! Nkakulwisha,+Nkoca amaceleta yakwe yonse ica kuti yakashikisa,+Kabili imisepela yenu iya nkalamo* bakaipaila ku lupanga.
Nkalenga ukaleke ukwikata inama pano isonde,Kabili inkombe shobe tashakatale ashumfwikapo na kabili.”+
