3 Zintu zyoonse zilijisi ciindi canzizyo,Ciindi cazintu zyoonse zicitika aano aanyika:
2 Ciindi cakuzyalwa aciindi cakufwa;Ciindi cakusyanga aciindi cakuzyula ceeco cakasyangidwe;
3 Ciindi cakujaya aciindi cakuponya;Ciindi cakumwaya aciindi cakuyaka;
4 Ciindi cakulila aciindi cakuseka;Ciindi cakoomoka aciindi cakuzyana;*
5 Ciindi cakusowa mabwe aciindi cakubungika mabwe;Ciindi cakukumbata aciindi cakulilesya kukumbata;
6 Ciindi cakuyandaula aciindi cakuciluba buyo eeco casweeka;Ciindi cakuyobola aciindi cakusowa;
7 Ciindi cakuzapula+ aciindi cakusuma;Ciindi cakuumuna+ aciindi cakwaambaula;+
8 Ciindi cakuyanda aciindi cakusulaika;+Ciindi cankondo aciindi caluumuno.
9 Ino mubelesi ujana nzi kumilimo yoonse njabeleka canguzu?+
10 Ndaubona mulimo ooyo Leza ngwaapa bana babantu kuti kabajisi bubi kuubeleka.
11 Zintu zyoonse wazipanga kuti kazili zibotu* muciindi canzizyo.+ Wabikka abuumi butamani mumyoyo yabo; nokuba boobo bantu kunyina nobayakwiimvwisya milimo eeyo Leza mwini-mwini njaacita kuzwa kumatalikilo kusikila kumamanino.
12 Ndazyiba kuti kunyina cintu ciinda kubota kulimbabo kunze lyakukondwa akucita zibotu eelyo nobacipona,+
13 alimwi akuti muntu woonse kalya, kanywa alimwi akukkomana akaambo kamilimo yakwe yoonse njabeleka canguzu. Eeci ncipego ca Leza.+
14 Ndazyiba kuti zintu zyoonse nzyapanga Leza mwini-mwini zinooliko lyoonse mane kukabe kutamani. Kulinzizyo kunyina cintu cikonzya kuyungizyigwa alimwi kulinzizyo kunyina cintu cikonzya kugwisyigwa. Leza mwini-mwini wazipanga munzila eeyi kutegwa bantu kabamuyoowa.+
15 Kufwumbwa cicitika, cakalicitikide kale, aceeco ciyooba cakaliko kale;+ pele Leza mwini-mwini uyandaula ceeco citandilwa.*
16 Acimbi cintu ncindabona ansi aano nceeci: Mubusena mwakeelede kuba kubeteka kabotu muli bubi, amwalo mubusena mwakeelede kuba bululami muli bubi.+
17 Aboobo mumoyo wangu ndakaamba kuti: “Leza mwini-mwini nguuyoobeteka mululami alimwi amubi,+ nkaambo zintu zyoonse zicitika zilijisi ciindi canzizyo alimwi mulimo uuli woonse ulijisi ciindi canguwo.”
18 Alimwi mumoyo wangu ndakaamba kujatikizya bana babantu kuti Leza mwini-mwini uyoobapa musunko akubatondezya kuti bali buyo mbuli banyama,
19 nkaambo kuli cintu cicitikila bantu alimwi aceeco cicitikila banyama; boonse balacitikilwa cintu comwe buyo.+ Mbubonya umwi mbwafwa, awalo mweenzinyina mbwafwa; alimwi boonse bajisi muuya omwe buyo.+ Aboobo muntu kunyina nasumpukide kwiinda banyama, nkaambo zyoonse nzyabuyo.
20 Boonse baunka kubusena bomwe.+ Boonse bakazwa kubulongo,+ alimwi boonse balajokela kubulongo.+
21 Ino nguni uuzyi naa muuya wabantu uunka mujulu, akuti naa muuya wabanyama uunka ansi mubulongo?+
22 Alimwi ndakabona kuti taakwe cintu ciinda kubota kunze lyakuti muntu kakkomana mumilimo yakwe,+ nkaambo oobo mbobulumbu bwakwe;* nkaambo ino nguni uukonzya kumupa kuti abone ciyoocitika musyule lyakwe aakuunka?+
