11 Yebo ukabavwiile kuti, ‘“Akaambo kakuti bamauso bakandisiya,”+ mbwaamba Jehova, “eelyo bakazumanana kutobela baleza bambi, bakali kubabelekela akubakotamina.+ Pele bakandisiya mebo, alimwi tiibakaubamba mulawo wangu pe.+
12 Alimwi nywebo nzyomwacita zilainda kubija aali zyeezyo nzyobakacita bamauso,+ alimwi umwi aumwi wanu utobela nkazi zyamoyo wakwe mubi muciindi cakumvwida ndime.+
13 Aboobo ndiyoomuvwululusya kuzwa mucisi eeci akumusowela mucisi ncomutazyi nywebo, nobaba bamauso,+ eelyo ooko muyoobelekela baleza bambi isyikati amasiku,+ nkaambo tandikamufwidi luzyalo pe.”’
14 “‘Nokuba boobo, mazuba alaboola,’ mbwaamba Jehova, ‘eelyo nobatakaambi limbi kuti: “Masimpe Jehova mbwali muumi, ooyo wakagwisya bana Israyeli mucisi ca Egepita!”+
15 pele kuti: “Masimpe Jehova mbwali muumi, ooyo wakagwisya bana Israyeli kuzwa kucisi cakunyika alimwi akuzwa kuzisi zyoonse nkwaakabamwailide!” eelyo ndiyoobapilusya kucisi cabo eeco ncondakapa bamausyi.’+
16 ‘Mpaawa lino ndiita bazubi banji,’ mbwaamba Jehova,‘Eelyo bayoobazuba.
Mpoonya ndiyakwiita bavwimi banji,Eelyo bayoobavwima mumalundu oonse amutulundu toonseAlimwi amuŋanzi zyamyala.
17 Nkaambo meso aangu alizibwene zyoonse nzyobacita.*
Tabasisidwe kumbele lyangu pe,Acalo cinyonyoono cabo tacisisidwe mumeso aangu.
18 Aboobo cakusaanguna, ndiyoobapa cisubulo ceelene acinyonyoono cabo alimwi acibi cabo,+Nkaambo basofwaazya cisi cangu amitunta yamituni yabo iisesemyaAlimwi bazuzya lukono lwangu azintu zyabo zivwundausya kumoyo.’”+
19 O Jehova, onguzu zyangu amampangala aangu,Obusena bwangu bwakutijila mubuzuba bwamapenzi,+Masi ayooboola kulinduwe kuzwa kumagolelo aanyika,Akwaamba kuti: “Bamatata bakakona buyo bubeji,Zintu zyabuyo alimwi azintu zitagwasyi.”+
20 Sena muntu ulakonzya kulipangila balezaKakuli tabali baleza beni-beni?+
21 “Aboobo ndilabapa kuzyiba,Inzya aciindi eeci ndilabapa kuzyiba janza lyangu alimwi anguzu zyangu,Eelyo bayoozyiba kuti izina lyangu ndime Jehova.”
