3 Buyo-buyo ndilabasamununa akubasiya mantanda mbubonya mbuli buzuba mbobakazyalwa,Akubapa kuba mbuli nkanda,Alimwi akubapa kuba mbuli cimpayuma,Mpoonya akubajaya anyota.
4 Abalo bana babo tandikabafwidi luse pe,Nkaambo mbana bamusyokwe.

6 Aboobo ndilasinka nzila yabo amamvwa;Alimwi ndilabayakila bwaanda bwamabwe,Kutegwa batazijani nzila zyabo.
7 Uyoobatandila aabo ibakali kumuyanda, pele takabeenzyi pe;+Uyoobayandaula, pele takabajani pe.
Eelyo uyakwaamba kuti, ‘Ndilapilukila kumulumaangu wakusaanguna,+Nkaambo ndakali kukkala kabotu ciindi eeciya kwiinda lino.’+

12 Ndiyoonyonyoona misaansa yabo amikuyu yabo, eezyo nzyobaamba kuti:
“Eezyi nzipego zyangu, nzyobakandipa aabo bandiyanda cakufwa”;Ndiyoozipa kuti zibe syokwe,Eelyo banyama bamusyokwe bayoozimana kuzilya.

14 ‘Aboobo ndilabakombelezya,Ndilabatola munkanda,Eelyo ndiyoobaambila majwi mabotu aabanjila mumoyo.
15 Ndiyoobapa myuunda yabo yamisaansa kuzwa ciindi eeco kuya kumbele,+Akkuti* lya Akori+ kalili manjililo aasololela kubulangizi;Bayoondivwiila okuya mbubonya mbuli kumazuba aakubukubusi bwabo,Mbuli mubuzuba nobakazwa mucisi ca Egepita.+
16 Lino mubuzuba oobo,’ mbwaamba Jehova,‘Yebo uyoondiita kuti Mulumaangu, tokandiiti limbi kuti Osimalelaangu.’*
17 ‘Ndiyoogwisya mazina aazikozyanyo zya Baala kumulomo wabo,+Eelyo mazina aanzizyo taakayeeyegwi limbi pe.+
18 Mubuzuba oobo bantu bangu ndiyoobapangila cizuminano abanyama bamusyokwe,+Abayuni bauluka mujulu alimwi azintu zikalaba ansi;+Buta, panga alimwi ankondo ndiyoozigwisya mucisi,+Eelyo ndiyoobapa kuti kaboona* cakuliiba.+
19 Ndiyookusinkilila kuti ube mukaintu wangu lyoonse mane kukabe kutamani;Ndiyookusinkilila mubululami, munzila iiluzi,Muluyando lutamani alimwi amuluse.+
20 Ndiyookusinkilila cakusyomeka,Eelyo ncobeni uyoozyiba kuti ndime Jehova.’+
21 ‘Mubuzuba oobo ndiyoovwiila,’ mbwaamba Jehova,‘Ndiyakwaavwiila majulu,Eelyo aalo ayakwiivwiila nyika;+
22 Ayalo nyika iyakuvwiila maila awaini mupya alimwi amafwuta;Mpoonya zyalo ziyakuvwiila Jezreeli.*+
