17 Mubusena bwamukuba ndiyooleta ngolida,Alimwi mubusena bwabutale ndiyooleta nsiliva,Mubusena bwazisamu muyooba mukuba,Alimwi mubusena bwamabwe muyooba butale;Ndiyoobikka luumuno kuti lube balangizi bakoAbululami kuti bube basikukupa milimo.+
18 Manyongwe taakamvwugwi limbi mucisi cakoNokuba kupwayaula alimwi akunyonyoona mukati kaminyinza yako.+
Yebo uyakwiita malambo aako kuti Lufwutuko+ amilyango yako kuti Ntembauzyo.
19 Nkaambo zuba talikakubedi limbi mumuni wamasyikati,Akwalo kumweka kwamwezi takukakupi limbi mumuni pe,Nkaambo Jehova uyookubeda mumuni uutamani,+Alimwi Leza wako uyooba bweebesi bwako.+
20 Izuba lyako talikabbili limbi pe,Awalo mwezi wako taukaleki kumweka,Nkaambo Jehova uyookubeda mumuni uutamani,+Alimwi mazuba aakulila kwako anoomanide.+
21 Bantu bako boonse bayoolulama;Bayookona nyika mane kukabe kutamani.
Mbambabo cisyuukila ncondakasyanga,Milimo yamaanza aangu,+ kutegwa mebo ndeebeke.+
22 Muniini uyooba cuuluAwalo musyoonto uyooba cisi cilaanguzu.
Mebo lwangu, nde Jehova, ndiyoopa kuti eeci cifwambaane kucitika muciindi cancico ceelede.”
