26 Ha litangwa olyo, mu lifuti lya Juda bakemba ou mwaso ngwabo:
“Tuli na nganda ya kunyungilila.
Kwobola kwendi kupwa ngwe bibumbe byayo na bipatanga byayo.
2 Shokololeni bikolo mangana muyati wa kusungama ukobele,Muyati uje wapwa wa kulongwa.
3 Unyungilila baje bajendamena hali yobe mu kushula,Ubalingisa bakale mu kwoloka simbu yoshe,Mwafwa banakulahela yobe.
4 Kulaheleni Yehova myaka yoshe,Mwafwa Jah,* Yehova, ikeye limanya lya myaka yoshe.
5 Mwafwa nakehesa baje batunga ha mwela wa kulunduka, nanyekumuna nganda ya helu.
Naisiula,Naindamwina ha lifuti-libu,Nailundumwina mu likungu.
6 Lindi liilyatangela,Kulumbununa mendi a banu ba kuyanda, myanja ya banu ba kwisi.”
7 Ngila ya banu ba kusungama yapwa ya kusungama.*
Mwafwa u wa kusungama,Ulambesa ngila ya banu ba kusungama.
8 Omwo tukabangeya ngila ya kusompa kwobe, obe Yehova,Tunalabelela yobe.
Tushungwiya lizina lyobe nebi bilimanena.
9 Butsiki, mubila* wange woshe ushungwiya yobe,Eyo, njitwalelelaho kukutonda-tonda na mbunge yange yoshe,Mwafwa nga usompa lifuti-libu,Banu bakala mu lifuti balilongesa bya kusungama.
10 Munu wamubi, nameme bamuzibile ngozi,Anga kalingi byuma bya kusungama.
Nameme mu lifuti lya kusungama, anga alinga byuma byabibi,Co kamono bukama bwa Yehova.
11 Obe Yehova, unolola liboko lyobe, oloni kubesi na kulimona.
Bamona ntwima iuli nayo ha banu bobe, co baziba shwamwa.
Eyo, tuhya tuunabwahesela bitozi bobe tubanyongesa.
12 Obe Yehova, utwana kwoloka,Mwafwa byuma byoshe bitunalingi,Yobe unabilingisa byende bwino.
13 Obe Yehova Njambi yetu, nameme kuli bashukulu beka banatuyulu,Tutumbula lika lizina lyobe.
14 Banatsi, kubayoyo lalo.
Banatsi, kubasanguka.
Mwafwa unabasompoMangana ubanyongese na kulingisa bajeneke kubatumbula lalo.
15 Unamesa muyati, obe Yehova,Unamesa muyati,Unamwesa bumpau bwobe.
Unashwenesa manene binginga byoshe bya lifuti.
16 Obe Yehova, batalele kuli yobe mubakele mu bukalu,Balombelele kuli yobe mu kuyebeta muwabanangwile.
17 Ngwe munakazi uje ashaka kupapaMwakazibi mushongo wa kupapa na kulitetela mwafwa ya kuziba kubabala,Netu mukemwo mutunalizibila mwafwa yobe, obe Yehova.
18 Twakele na cikute, twazibile mushongo wa kupapa,Oloni kunapu lika ngwe tunakiti lihunzi.
Kutwanenele kwoboka mu lifuti,Co naumo wahi nasemuka mangana akale mu lifuti.
19 “Batsi bobe bakayoya.
Bibimbi byange bikasanguka.
Indukeni na kutambeka mu kubwahelela,Yeni munalala mu likungu!
Mwafwa lime lyeni linapu ngwe lime lya mutondo,*Co lifuti-libu likalingisa baje banatsi bayoye lalo.*
20 Eni banu bange, kobeleni mu milili yeni ya mukati,Co mumukobela, shokeni bikolo.
Bandeni ha kasimbu kakandondoKweta noho butenu buneti.*
21 Mwafwa taleni! Yehova ali na kwija kutunda mu mwela wendiMangana akusompese baje batunga mu lifuti mwafwa ya kusebuka kwabo,Co lifuti likajombolola maninga abanetila,Co kulikashweke lalo banu babanatsii.”
