18 Bosi yibue mona mbasi yinkaka yifumina ku diyilu, yiba kimfumu kiwombo, ayi va ntoto vayiza wala kiezila mu kibila ki nkembu’andi.
2 Nandi wutuba mu mbembu yinangama: “Mabua! Mabua Babiloni Yinneni, ayi nandi weka kibuangu ki ziphevi zimbi, ayi kisuamunu ki ziphevi zioso zimvindu, ayi mvandi kisuamunu ki zinuni zioso zimvindu ayi zio banlendanga!
3 Kibila mimvila mioso mibua mu ntambu wu kunua vinu yi phuil’andi yi mambu ma butsuza. Mintinu mi ntoto bavanga yandi kitsuza, ayi bankua lungosu va ntoto bayiza baka kimvuama, mu kibila ki mangolo ma kimvuama kiandi ki zitsoni.”
4 Yiyuwa mbembu yinkaka yifumina ku diyilu yaba tuba: “Basikanu muawu dikabu diama, muingi lubika ba fotu mu masumu mandi, ayi lubika tambula zitsingulu ziandi.
5 Kibila masumu mandi mame tuka nati ku diyilu, ayi Nzambi matebukila moyo mavanga mandi makhambulu masonga.
6 Mvangilanu momawu mambu kavanga, ngete, mvutudilanu malutidi mu mambu kavanga. Ayi mu mbungu yo nandi kakubikila malavu, ntudilanu muna kitesu kilutidi.
7 Mu kiokiawu kitesu ka yizitisila ayi kazingila mu kimvuama ki zitsoni, kiawu lufueti kunkuamisina ayi kuntuadisila kiadi ki lufua. Kibila nandi wuntubanga mu ntima: ‘Yidi wukala buka ntinu wu nkietu, yisi ko mfuizi ayi yilendi viokila ko mu kiunda ki lufua.’
8 Diawu zitsingulu ziandi, lufua, kiadi ki lufua ayi nzala, biala kuizila mu kilumbu kimueka to, ayi nandi bala kumvika nawoso ku mbazu, kibila Yave Nzambi no widi mu kumfundisa, widi beni mangolo.
9 “Ayi mintinu mi ntoto, bo bavanga yandi kitsuza, ayi bo bazingila yandi mu kimvuama ki zitsoni, bala dila ayi bala ba beni mu kiunda mu kibila kiandi, bo bala mona muisi wu mbazu bamvikila kubasika.
10 Bawu bala telimina ku kinanu ayi bala mona boma mu kibila ki mambu kamonikini, ayi bala tuba: ‘Kiadi, kiadi ngie Babiloni divula dinneni ayi dingolo, kibila bama kutulula mu kilokula kimueka to!’
11 “Mvandi, batu ba lungosu va ntoto, bala dila ayi bala nyonga mu kibila kiandi, kibila kualasa bue ba ko mutu wunsumba biuma bansumbisa,
12 kuba kuandi wola, palata, mamanya ma thalu, bilunga, minledi mi linho, bikhutu bi thalu, seda, ayi minledi mibenga. Biuma bioso bivangulu mu mabaya ma mfimbu wumboti, ayi biuma bioso bivangulu mu phungi yi nzau, mu mabaya ma thalu, mu cobre, mu kisengu ayi mu marmore.
13 Mvandi kanela, biuma bi mfimbu bi india, malasi, nzeta yidi mfimbu wumboti, olibanu, vinu, nzeta, falini, trigu, zingombi, mamemi, mimvalu, makalu ma mimvalu, mimvika ayi batu bankaka bamonyo.
14 Ngete, a Babiloni, biuma bimboti waba tombanga, bi kutinizi ayi mintindu mioso mi bidia ayi biuma bi kitoko binlezama, bizimbidi ayi bialasa bue monika ko.
15 “Batu bansumbisanga biuma abiobio, bo bayiza ba busina mu kibila kiandi, bala telimina ku kinanu mu kibila ki boma bu ziphasi ziandi, bala dila ayi bala nyonga beni,
16 mu kutuba: ‘Kiadi, kiadi, divula dinneni didi divuata bikhutu bi thalu bivangulu mu linho, bibenga ayi binlezama, ayi no babuongisa buboti mu minsanga, mamanya ma thalu ayi bilunga.
17 Kibila kimvuama kioso akiokio, ba kituludi mu kilokula kimueka to!’
“Ayi batu boso bannatanga ayi bansadilanga mu makumbi, mvandi baboso bamvanganga lungosu mu ḿbu, bala telimina ku kinanu,
18 ayi bo bala mona muisi wu mbazu bamvikila, bala tuba mu kiunda: ‘Divula mbi didi dedi mueka na divula adiodio dinneni?’
19 Bawu bala tula dibombi mu mintu, bala nyonga ayi bala dila mu kutuba: ‘Kiadi, kiadi, divula dinneni, dio divanga batu boso badi makumbi mu ḿbu, kuba kimvuama. Diawu dima tuluka mu kilokula kimueka to!’
20 “Yangalalanu benu muidi ku diyilu, ayi mvandi benu banlongo, bapostolo, ayi mimbikudi, kibila Nzambi wunzengila nkanu muingi ku lutuadisa ndandu!”
21 Bosi, mbasi yimueka yinanguna dimanya, diba buka dimanya dinneni dio banyikinanga zitheti, ayi wukuba diawu mu ḿbu, mu kutuba: “Dedi bo bankubilanga dimanya mu thinu, Babiloni, divula dinneni, mvandi bala ku dikuba ku wanda, ayi balasa bue dimona ko.
22 Ayi valasa bue kuwakana ko lusuku lu minyimbidi bansika zi harpa, ni lusuku lu ziflauta ayi zitulumbeta ku Babiloni. Mvandi kualasa bue ba ko mutu wumvanganga kisalu ki kutunga bikhutu, ayi kualasa bue kuwakana ko lusuku lu dimanya di kunyikina zitheti.
23 Kuidi ngie, kualasa bue lezama ko ni muinda wu mueka, ayi kualasa bue kuwakana ko mbembu yi dibakala voti nkietu wunkuela, kibila batu baku ba lungosu, baba batu banzitusu va ntoto, ayi kibila ngie wuvuna mimvila mioso, mu mavanga maku ma kindoki.
24 Ngete, nandi widi fotu mu menga ma mimbikudi, banlongo ayi ma batu boso bavonda va ntoto.”
