Mukambausi 1:1-18
1 Ngaaya majwi aasikubunganya,+ mwana wa Davida, mwami wamu Jerusalemu.+
2 Sikubunganya waamba kuti: “Nzyabuyo!Nzyabuyo! Zyoonse nzyabuyo!”+
3 Ino nimpindu nzi njajana muntu mumilimo yakwe yoonse miyumuNjabeleka canguzu ansi aano?+
4 Izyalani lilainda, izyalani limbi lilaboola,Pele nyika inooliko* lyoonse mane kukabe kutamani.+
5 Izuba lilapola,* alimwi zuba lilabbila;Mpoonya lileenda cakufwambaana kupiluka* kubusena nkolipolela alimwi.+
6 Muwo ulaunga kuya kumusanza, alimwi ulaunga kauyaabuzinguluka kuya kunyika;Uluujisi kuzinguluka zingulu-zingulu; muwo ulazumanana kuzinguluka.
7 Tulonga* toonse tulakunka kuya kulwizi, nokuba boobo lwizi taluzuli pe.+
Kubusena ooko nkotutalikila kukunka tulonga, nkonkuko nkotujokela kutegwa tukatalike alimwi kukunka.+
8 Zintu zyoonse zilaminya;Taakwe uukonzya kuzyaamba.
Liso talikkuti kubona pe;Akwalo kutwi takukkuti kumvwa.
9 Eeco icakaliko, nceciyooba alimwi,Alimwi eeco icakacitwa, nceciyoocitwa alimwi;Taakwe cintu cipya ansi aano.+
10 Sena kuli cintu muntu umwi ncakonzya kwaamba kuti, “Langa eeci, ncipya”?
Cintu eeco caliko kuzwa kaindi;Eeco iciliko lino cakaliko swebo katutanabako.
11 Kunyina muntu uubayeeya bantu bakaindi;Alimwi kunyina muntu uuyoobayeeya aabo ibaboola kusyule;Abalo aabo tabakayeeyegwi kuli baabo ibayooboola kusyule lyabo.+
12 Mebo ndesikubunganya, ndali mwami wa Israyeli mu Jerusalemu.+
13 Ndakabikka moyo wangu kukwiiya akuzivwuntauzya cabusongo+ zintu zyoonse zicitwa aano aanyika,*+ inzya milimo iiminya eeyo Leza njaakapa bana babantu kuti kabajisi bubi kwiibeleka.
14 Ndakabona milimo yoonse iyakali kucitwa ansi aano,Eelyo masimpe zintu zyoonse nzyabuyo, nkutandaanya buyo muwo.+
15 Eeco cigogomene tacikonzyi koololwa pe,Acalo eeco citako tacikonzyi kubalwa pe.
16 Mpoonya mumoyo wangu, ndakati: “Bona! Ndaba musongo kapati kwiinda muntu uuli woonse wakaliko mebo kanditanaba mu Jerusalemu,+ alimwi moyo wangu wajana busongo butaambiki aluzyibo lunji kapati.”+
17 Ndakabikka moyo wangu kukuzyiba busongo, kusondoka* alimwi abufwubafwuba,+ ndakabona kuti acalo eeci nkutandaanya buyo muwo.
18 Nkaambo ikuba abusongo bunji kuleta mause manji,Cakuti ooyo uuliyungizyila luzyibo, uliyungizyila buyo mapenzi.+
