Bayooyoowa alimwi bayoogunwa antoomwe.
12 Mufwuzi ulafwula cikozyanyo cabutale mumakala aamulilo kabelesya cibelesyo* cakwe.
Ulacipanga kubelesya nsando,Ulacifwula ajanza lyakwe lyanguzu.+
Mpoonya ulafwa nzala, eelyo nguzu zyakwe zilamana;Tanywi maanzi, aboobo ulakatala.
13 Mubezi wazisamu ulatandabula cipimyo, uleenga cikozyanyo ancoko iisubila.

Ulacipanga kuti cilibonye mbuli muntu,+Kuti cibote mbuli muntu,Kuti kacikkala muŋanda.*+
14 Kuli muntu uujisi mulimo wakugonka masamu aakkedari.
Ulasala musyobo umwi wazisamu, cisamu cipati,Akucilekela kuti cisime akati kamasamu aamusyokwe.+
Ulasyanga cisamu calaureli, eelyo mvwula ilacikomezya.
15 Mpoonya ciba nkuni nzyabelesya muntu kukunka mulilo.
Ulabweza cibeela cancico cimwi kuti ayote;Ulakunka mulilo akupanga cinkwa.
Pele kucisamu nciconya ulapanga leza akumukomba.
Ulacipanga kuba cikozyanyo cibezedwe, eelyo ulacikotamina.+
16 Cisela cancico ulacuumpa mumulilo.Cisela eeco mpayokela nyama njalya, eelyo ulakkuta.

“Kondifwutula, nkaambo ndonduwe leza wangu.”+
18 Taakwe ncobazyi alimwi tabamvwisyi,+Nkaambo meso aabo alijalidwe, aboobo tabakonzyi kubona,Alimwi myoyo yabo tiijisi busongo.
19 Akati kabo kunyina uulizinza mumoyo wakwe,Uujisi maano naa busongo, waamba kuti:

Takonzyi kulifwutula, nokuba kwaamba kuti:
“Sena tabuli bubeji oobu mbwejisi mujanza lyangu lyalulyo?”
21 “Koyeeya zintu eezyi, yebo Jakobo, inzya yebo Israyeli,Nkaambo uli mubelesi wangu.
Ndime ndakakubumba, alimwi uli mubelesi wangu.+
O Israyeli, mebo kunyina nendiyookuluba.+
22 Ndiyoozimaanya zinyonyoono zyako mbuli kuti zyasiswa kunze aakkumbi+Azibi zyako mbuli kuti zyasiswa kunze aakkumbi lisiya mbi.
Kopiluka kulindime, nkaambo ndilakunununa.+
23 Kamoongolola cakukondwa, nywebo nomajulu,Nkaambo Jehova wabweza ntaamu!
