9 Ha tangwa 24 lia kakweji, A-Izalele yalikungulula hanga alitwamine kulia, yazala yikeleyi* ni kulihinjila uto.
2 Akwa-munyachi wa Izalele, yalihandununa ni yilambala eswe, yamana, yambulula shili yo ni tupalia a yisemi jo.
3 Ha maola atatu, yamana ha yihela yo, mba yatanga ni liji mwilu Shimbi ya Yehova, Zambi yo, yalinga nawa maola atatu ni kwambulula shili yo ni kufulamana kumeso ja Yehova, Zambi yo.
4 Yeshua, Mbani, Kamiele, Shebania, Buni, Sherebia, Mbani ni Chenani, yaanyina ha chitamba cha A-Levi, yaalemba ni liji mwilu kuli Yehova, Zambi yo.
5 Mba A-Levi, Yeshua, Kamiele, Mbani, Hashabania, Sherebia, Hodia, Shebania ni Petahia yaamba ngwo: “Katukenu nuhalise Yehova Zambi yenu ku miaka yeswe. Zambi yetu, ayo akahalise jina lie linene lize lili helu lia yiwape yeswe ni uhaliso weswe.
6 “Yenu wika nuli Yehova. Yenu nwatangile malilu, ewa malilu ni yeswe yize yilimo, hashi ni yeswe yize yiliho, tulunga-lwiji ni yeswe yize yilimo. Yenu nwakufunga mwono wa eswe, ni mbunga ya mwilu yakufulamana ni kunuwayila.
7 Yenu wika nuli Yehova, Zambi wamwenemwene, yoze wasakwile Apalama ni kumuchiza mu mbonge ya Ure ya A-Kaletea ni kumuluka jina lia Apalahama.
8 Nwamwene ngwenu iye te kashishika kuli yenu. Kashika nwalingile nenyi usendo wa kumwaha chifuchi cha A-Kanana, cha A-Hete, cha A-Amore, cha A-Perize, cha A-Yepushe ni cha A-Ngikashe, kuchihana kuli iye ni munyachi wenyi; chikwo nawa nwamanunwine chilakenyo chino, mumu yenu nuli mukwa-ululi.
9 “Nwamwene lamba lia tulamba twetu mu Engitu, chikwo nawa, nwevwile miteto yo muze apwile hakamwihi ni Kalunga-lwiji Muchila.
10 Chocho yinulinga yilayi ni yikomokeso hali Falau ni tuvumbi jenyi eswe, ni hali atu eswe a mu chifuchi chenyi, mumu nwanyingikine chize ayo akalishile mbunge ni kulimika ni atu jenu. Jina lienu liafumanyine ngwe chize linafumana musono.
11 Nwatetele kalunga-lwiji kumeso jo, mba ayo yazauka kalunga-lwiji hashi homu. Yinunyasa akwa-kole jo ha mashima ja meya ngwe chize akukonga liwe ha jinga lia meya.
12 Ha mwalwa yinwasongwela ni nguji lia lelwa, ha ufuku yinwasongwela ni nguji lia kahia, hanga nwatemwine mu jila yize chaatamba kwenda.
13 Yinuhulumuka ha Mulundu wa Sinai, yinuhanjika no kukatuka mu malilu, yinwaha upatwilo wa ululi, shimbi jamwenemwene, yiyulo ni shimbi jipema.
14 Yinwanyingikisa Sambata yenu yisandu, yinwaha shimbi, yiyulo ni shimbi jikwo kupalikila muli kavumbi kenu Mose.
15 Muze evwile zala, yinwaha mbolo ya mwilu, muze evwile pwila, yinutuhwisa meya ku liwe ni kwahawo, yinwalweza hanga anjile ni kutambula chifuchi chize nwalakenyene kwaha.
16 “Alioze, a shakulu jetu yalijikijila ene, yakalisa mbunge jo, kakapanjikile ku shimbi jenu.
17 Ayo kakazangile kunupanjika, yavulama yikomokeso yize nwalingile mukachi ko, yaakalisa mbunge ni kutongola umwe kasongo hanga ahiluke mu undungo ku Engitu. Alioze yenu nuli Zambi mukwa-kukonekena, mukwa-keke, mukwa-kulihumikiza wa too ni utu wa zango, chikwo nawa, nwakehukile.
18 Chipwe muze alingile ngombe* wa oru, ni kunusaula, ni kwamba ngwo: ‘Yono mwe Zambi yetu, yoze watuchijile ku Engitu,’
19 chipwe chocho, yenu ha keke yenu yinene, kunwakehukile mu puya. Nguji lia lelwa lize te liakwasongwela ha mwalwa mu jila, kunwakalichijile, chipwe nguji lia kahia lize te liakwatemwina mu jila yize te atamba kwenda ha ufuku, kunwakalichijile.
20 Yinwaha spiritu yenu hanga yasongwele ni mana, kunwakaaminyine manaa jenu, yinwaha meya muze evwile pwila.
21 Ha miaka 40 yinwaha kulia mu puya. Ayo kakahonene chuma nichimwe. Mazalo jo kakasuwikile, chipwe molu jo kakajimbile.
22 “Yinwaha mianangana ni atu, yalitetela yifuchi hakachi ko, yakumba chifuchi cha Sahone, hanji ngwetu, chifuchi cha mwanangana Heshebone, ni chifuchi cha Oge mwanangana wa Mbashane.
23 Chikwo nawa, yinwokesa ana jo ngwe tutongonoshi a mwilu. Mba yinwatwala mu chifuchi chize nwalakenyene tulamba two, ngwo te manjila ni kutwamamo.
24 Hachino, ayo yanjila ni kutambula chifuchi, yinukumba A-Kanana kumeso jo, waze te atwama mu chifuchi chacho, yinukunjika kuli ayo mianangana ni atu a mu chifuchi chacho hanga alinge no cheswacho chize o te mazanga.
25 Ayo kakumbile mambonge a yipanga ya mawe ni yifuchi ya upite, katambwile mazuwo a too ni yuma yeswe yipema, waze apwile ni mashima a kutota ni minda ya vinyu, ya olevwe ni mitondo yikwo ya mihuko. Kashika ayo alile, akuchile, atohwele ni kuwahilila ni yuma yinji yipema.
26 “Alioze, ayo kapwile yihulia, kalimikine ni yenu ni kulengulula Shimbi* je. Kashihile aprofeta jenu waze te akwatoweza hanga ahiluke kuli yenu, ayo kalingile yuma yinji yipi.
27 Kashika, yinwakunjika kuli akwa-kole jo, waze apwile ni kwamwesa lamba linji. Hachino, yakololoka kuli yenu ha mashimbu a lamba, mba yenu mwilu yinwapanjika. Mumu lia keke yenu yinene, yinwatumina yilamwina hanga aalamwine ku moko ja akwa-kole jo.
28 “Alioze muze te nwakwalamwina, ayo te kakulinga cheka nawa yuma yipi kumeso jenu. Kashika te nwakwakunjika ku moko ja akwa-kole jo ni kwecha hanga aayule. Mba muze ayo te akufuna kuli yenu ni kwita ukwaso wenu, te nwakwapanjika chize mwilu ni kwapulwila ha yisuho yinji mumu lia keke yenu yinene.
29 Nwatowezele hanga ahiluke ku Shimbi jenu, alioze ayo yalijikijila ene, kakatayijile kupanjika shimbi jenu. Kakakawile shimbi jenu, jize atu atamba kukaula mba apwe ni mwono, kashika avulumwine. Ayo yaahamuka kunumba nyima, yakalisa mbunge, yalituna kunupanjika.
30 Nwasolwele uhomboloji kuli ayo ha miaka yinji, mba kupalikila mu spiritu yenu, yinwatumina aprofeta jenu hanga aatoweze, alioze ayo kakapanjikile. Kashika, yinwahana mu moko ja atu a yifuchi yeka.
31 Alioze ha keke yenu yinene, kunwanongesene chipwe kwehuka, mumu nuli Zambi ya utu ni keke.
32 “Haliapwila, Zambi yetu, Zambi munene, Zambi wa ndundo kole ni woma, mukwa-kufunga usendo ni utu ni kusolola utu wa zango, kanda nulengulula kama lamba lieswe lize liatuwana yetu, mianangana jetu, akwa-lutwe jetu, asasendote jetu, aprofeta jetu, tulamba twetu ni atu jenu eswe, chize ku matangwa ja mwanangana wa Asuria ndo musono.
33 Nwasolwele ululi ni ushishiko ha yuma yeswe yize yalingiwile kuli yetu, alioze yetu e twahengesele kuli yenu.
34 Hakutwala kuli mianangana jetu, akwa-lutwe, asasendote ni tulamba twetu, ayo kakononokene Shimbi jenu, chipwe kupanjika shimbi jenu ni yiyulo yize nwahele.
35 Chipwe muze apwile mu wanangana wo, ni kuwahilila ni upeme uze nwasolwele mu chifuchi chinene cha mavu apema chize nwahele, nihindu ayo kakanulingilile, chipwe kwecha yitanga yo yipi.
36 Kashika musono tuli ndungo, ewa ndungo mu chifuchi chize nwahanyine kuli tulamba twetu hanga akalie ku mihuko yamo ni kuwahilila ni yuma yipema.
37 Yuma yinji yize yakukatuka mu chifuchi chacho, yakuya kuli mianangana waze nwasele hanga atuyule mumu lia shili yetu. Ayo kakuyula hali yetu ni hali a shakulu jetu kulita ni chize anazange, kashika twamwene lamba linji.
38 “Kashika mumu lia yuma yino yeswe, twalinga usendo ni kuusoneka, usendo uze ajika ni chilayi cha akwa-lutwe jetu, A-Levi ni asasendote jetu.”
