2 Cilainda kubota kuunka kuŋanda yamalila kwiinda kuunka kuŋanda yapobwe,+ nkaambo aaya ngamamanino aabantu boonse, alimwi ooyo uucipona weelede kwaayeeyesya makani aaya mumoyo wakwe.
3 Kuusa nkubotu kwiinda kuseka,+ nkaambo busyu buuside bupa kuti moyo ubote.+
4 Myoyo yabasongo ili kuŋanda yamalila, pele myoyo yabafwubafwuba ili kuŋanda yakulikondelezya.*+
5 Ncibotu kumvwa muntu musongo kakusinsa+ kwiinda kuswiilila nyimbo yabafwubafwuba.
6 Nkaambo mbubonya mbwaapasauka mamvwa aasikkidwe kunsi aampoto ciindi naapya, mbokulimvwisya akwalo kuseka kwamufwubafwuba;+ acalo eeci ncabuyo.
7 Pele mapenzi alakonzya kumusondosya musongo, alimwi makulo alanyonyoona moyo.+
8 Mamanino aamakani, mabotu kwiinda matalikilo aangawo. Kukkazika moyo nkubotu kwiinda kuba amuuya wakulisumpula.+
9 Utafwambaani kunyema pe,+ nkaambo kunyema-nyema kukkala mucamba cabafwubafwuba.*+
10 Utaambi kuti, “Ino nkaambo nzi mazuba aakaindi ncaakali mabotu kwiinda mazuba aano?” nkaambo kubuzya kuli boobu takuli kwabusongo pe.+
11 Busongo antoomwe alukono mbubotu alimwi bulagwasya kuli baabo babona mumuni wazuba.*
12 Nkaambo busongo bulakwabilila+ mbubonya mbuli mali mbwaakwabilila,+ pele bubotu bwaluzyibo mbwakuti: Busongo bupa kuti ooyo uubujisi azumanane kupona.+
13 Kolanga-langa milimo ya Leza mwini-mwini, nkaambo ino nguni uukonzya kululamika cintu eeco walo ncaapilinganya?+
14 Mubuzuba bubotu kotondezya bubotu oobo,+ pele mubuzuba bwamapenzi koyeeya kuti Leza nguwakapanga buzuba oobo alimwi aboobo bumbi,+ cakuti bantu tabakonzyi kuzyiba cini ciyoobacitikila kumbele.+
15 Mubuumi bwangu bwabuyo,+ ndazibona zintu zyoonse, ndabona mululami uuloba mubululami bwakwe,+ alimwi amuntu mubi uuzumanana kupona kwaciindi cilamfwu nokuba kuti mubi.+
16 Utaciindizyi kululama,+ nokuba kuciindizya kutondezya kuti uli musongo.+ Ino nkaambo nzi ncoyanda kulinyonyoona omwini?+
17 Utaciindizyi kubija, nokuba kufwubaala.+ Ino nkaambo nzi ncoyelede kufwa kacitanasika ciindi cako?+
18 Cilainda kubota kujatisya makani amwi aakucenjezya kakunyina kwaalekezya aayo aambi;+ nkaambo ooyo uuyoowa Leza ulaatobela oonse obilo.
19 Busongo bupa muntu musongo kuba anguzu kapati kwiinda baalumi basinguzu bali kkumi ibali mumunzi.+
20 Masimpe kunyina muntu mululami munyika uucita buyo zibotu lyoonse kakunyina kubisya.+
21 Alimwi utaabikki kumoyo majwi oonse ngobaamba bantu;+ buyo-buyo inga koyakumvwa mubelesi wako kakutukila;
22 nkaambo mumoyo wako ulizyi kabotu kuti ziindi zinji anduwe wakabatukila kale bamwi.+
23 Zyoonse eezyi ndakazisola cabusongo akwaamba kuti: “Ndilaba musongo.” Pele tiindakacikonzya pe.
24 Eeco cicitikide tacisikiki alimwi ncilamfwu kapati kuyaansi. Ino nguni uukonzya kucizyiba?+
25 Ndakagamika moyo wangu kuti ndizyibe akulingaula alimwi akuvwuntauzya busongo alimwi akaambo zintu ncoziliko, akuti ndizyibe bubi bwabufwubafwuba abuyanga bwabusondosi.+
26 Mpoonya ndakajana kuti: Iciinda kubija kwiinda lufwu, mukaintu uuli mbuli kansabwe kamuvwimi, uujisi moyo uuli mbuli tunsabwe twakujaisya nswi alimwi uujisi maanza aali mbuli nketani. Muntu uukkomanisya Leza mwini-mwini uyoomutija mukaintu ooyo,+ pele sizibi ulacegwa anguwe.+
27 Sikubunganya waamba kuti: “Amubone, nceeci ncindakajana,+ ndakavwuntauzya cintu cimwi acimwi mukutobelana kuti ndizyibe bwini mbozibede zintu,
28 pele eeco ncindali kuyandaula lyoonse, tiindacijana pe. Ndajana mwaalumi omwe* akati kabantu bali 1,000, pele kunyina mukaintu ngondajana akati kabo.
29 Nceeci cilikke ncindajana: Leza mwini-mwini wakalenga bantu kabaluleme,+ pele balo bakaliyeeyela mizeezo minji iitaluzi.”+
