Sena cintu cili boobu kuli nocakacitikide kale mumazuba aanuNaa mumazuba aabamauso?+
3 Amucilwiide bana banu,Abalo bana banu bakalwiide bana babo,Eelyo bana babo bakalwiide zyalani litobela.
4 Eeco cakasiigwa acisozi cinyonyoona, caligwa acikwikwi;+Eeco cakasiigwa acikwikwi, caligwa acisozi citakwe mababa;Mpoonya eeco casiigwa acisozi citakwe mababa, caligwa acisozi cilya kapati.+
5 Amubuke, nywebo nobacakolwa,+ mulile!
Amulile, nywebo nyoonse nobasikunywa waini,Nkaambo waini uulweela wagusyigwa kumilomo yanu.+
6 Nkaambo kwanjila cisi munyika yangu; cilaanguzu alimwi bantu bancico tabakonzyi kubalwa.+
Meno aancico ali mbuli meno aasyuumbwa,+ ayalo myeebo yancico ili mbuli yasyuumbwa.
7 Canyonyoona musaansa wangu akupa kuti mukuyu wangu usyaale kuuli cisiko buyo,Cazipulula akuziyupa zyoonse mpoonya cazisowa,Capa kuti itutabi twanzizyo tutube buu.
8 Amulile mbubonya mbwalila nakalindu uusamide cisani camasakaSibwiinga* wakubukubusi bwakwe.
9 Zituuzyo zyamaila+ azituuzyo zinyugwa+ zyamana muŋanda ya Jehova;Bapaizi, babelesi ba Jehova balalila.
10 Muunda wanyonyoonwa, nyika ilalila;+Nkaambo maila anyonyoonwa, waini mupya wayuminina, aalo mafwuta amana.+
11 Balimi baluuside, basikulanganya myuunda yamisaansa balalila,Akaambo kawiiti alimwi abbaale;Nkaambo zitebulwa mumuunda zyanyonyoonwa.
12 Musaansa wayuma,Mukuyu waneta.
Cisamu camapomegranite, kakunka alimwi acisamu camaapele,Zisamu zyoonse zyamusyokwe zyayuma;+Nkaambo lukkomano lwasanduka kuba kuusa akati kabantu.
13 Amusame zisani zyamasaka* mulile,* nywebo nobapaizi;Amulile, nywebo nobabelesi bakucipaililo.+
Amunjile, moone kamusamide zisani zyamasaka nywebo nobabelesi ba Leza wangu;Nkaambo zituuzyo zyamaila+ azituuzyo zinyugwa+ zyalesyegwa kuŋanda ya Leza wanu.
14 Amwaambilizye ciindi cakuliimya kulya;+ amwiite bantu kumuswaangano uusetekene.
Amubunganye bapati, antoomwe abantu boonse bamucisiKuŋanda ya Jehova Leza wanu,+ mukwiilile lugwasyo kuli Jehova.
15 Maawe akaambo kabuzuba buboola!
Nkaambo buzuba bwa Jehova buli afwaafwi,+Bulaboola mbuli lunyonyooko luzwa kuli Singuzuzyoonse!
16 Sena cakulya tiicagusyigwa katulangilila ameso eesu,Sena kusekelela alimwi alukkomano tiizyamana kuŋanda ya Leza wesu?
17 Inseke* zyanyana kunsi aamafosyolo aabo.
Ziyobwedo zyanyonyoonwa.
Matala amwaigwa, nkaambo maila ayuma kaatanazyala.
18 Nobaba banyama bavwubwa balatongela!
Matanga aaŋombe aile kwiingaila kaanyongene, nkaambo taajisi macelelo!
Aalo matanga aambelele apengelaamwi.
19 Ndilaita nduwe, O Jehova;+Nkaambo mulilo waumpa macelelo aamunkanda,Alimwi mabangabanga aamulilo azyuumpa cakumaninina zisamu zyoonse zyamusyokwe.
20 Nobaba banyama bamusyokwe balakuyandisisya yebo,Nkaambo tulonga twamaanzi twayumininaAwalo mulilo waaumpa cakumaninina macelelo aamunkanda.”
