3 Kyenyiki ukow’ê Nowemi wa mwambela: “Mon’ami, ngamuxinganeka ku kukwatekesa kusanga diyala* phala kukazala-nê, ni usange kididi kyakondama.
2 Bowaji wavu o ilumba i wexile mu kwenda-nawu, ndandu yetu. Lelu mu usuku mwene wandaya mubhyata o sevada bhu kididi kya kubhyatela.
3 Kyenyiki, zowa, diwese* máji adizumba, ta o izwatu yé yafwama dingi, ukulumuke bhu kididi kya kubhyatela. Kana ku mwehela ku kumona kate kyanda zubha o kudya ni kunwa.
4 Kyoso kyanda kwila wazeka, utala kyambote o kididi bhwanda zeka. Uya, u muvungununa o inama, anga uzeka bhu mbandu a inama yê, mwene wanda kutangela ihi i watokala o kubhanga.”
5 Mwene wa mutambwijila: “Nganda bhanga yoso i wa ngitangela.”
6 Mukiki, wakulumuka bhu kididi kya kubhyatela, wabhange yoso kala kya mulongesa ukow’ê.
7 Kyoso Bowaji kyazubha kudya ni kunwa, wasanguluka. Mukusuluka wayi muzeka bhu mbandu a ita ya sevada. Lute weza sé kubhanga jibuya, wa muvungununa o inama yu wazeka.
8 Mukaxi ka usuku, Bowaji wamateka muteketa, o kyabhetuka wamono muhatu wazeka bhu mbandu a inama yê.
9 Mwene wa mwibhwidisa: “Éye nanyi?” Mwene wa mutambwijila: “Eme Lute ngi selevende yé. Ngivungine ni divunga dyé, mukonda éye u mulundudi wafwama kutukula mu ibhidi yetu.”
10 Bowaji wa mwambela: “Jihova a kubesowale mon’ami. Mukonda o henda i walondesa kindala yabetakota, o i wadyangele kulondekesa ndenge, mukonda kukayela o minzangala, kikale o jingadyama mba o jimvwama.
11 Kyenyiki-phe mon’ami, kukale ni wôma, nganda bhanga yoso kala ki wazwela, mukonda athu oso mu mbanza ejiya kwila u muhatu wambote.
12 Sumbala eme ngi mulundudi, ngafwama ku kukula ku ibhidi, maji sayi-ku hanji mulundudi wengi wazukama ku undandu eme ndenge.
13 Usuku yú zeka hanji bhenyabha. Mungu mu kamene se mwene ubhanga kya mutokala, kima kyambote, a kibhange. Maji se kakubhange kya mutokala, ngaloko mu dijina dya Jihova kwila, éme kya mwene nganda kubhanga-kyu. Zeka kya mwene bhenyabha, kate kikukya.”
14 Mwene anga uzeka bhu inama yê kate ki kwamateka o kukya. Kyoso kyabalumuka kwavundile hanji, o athu katenene luwa ku mumona. Bowaji wambe: “Séku muthu watokala kwijiya kwila, kweza muhatu bhu kididi kya kubhyatela.”
15 Mwene wa mwambela we: “Zá ni divunga di wa divungu-nadyu, kwata-dyu kyambote.” Lute wakwata o divunga, mwene wa muzongela-bhu izongelu* isamanu ya sevada, yu wa mutwika-yu. Lute anga uya ku bhata.
16 Lute anga uvutuka ku bhata, o kyabhixila, ukow’ê wa mwibhwidisa: “Mon’ami kyebhi kyabhiti o ima? Lute anga u mutangela yoso ya mubhangela o diyala.
17 Lute wambe dingi: “Mwene wa ngibhana o izongelu isamanu yiyi ya sevada, yu wa ngitangela: ‘Kana kuvutuka kwa Ukow’ê ni maku a hatu.’”
18 Bhenyobho Nowemi wa mwambela: “Xikama mon’ami, kingila ni umone kyebhi kyanda bhita o ima, mukonda o diyala didi lelu kanda nyoha kate kyanda batula o maka.”
