Tjimwe ne tjimwe madatha
1 Awa matama e Nsumikili, nkololo wa Dafite wakabe ali mambo mu Jerusalema,
2 “Madatha e madatha,” koleba Nsumikili.
“Madatha e madatha!
Tjimwe ne tjimwe madatha.”
3 Nthu unobuyigwa ngeni mukushinga kukwe,
etukutila zwingapa mu shango?
4 Tjizekugwana tjimwe tjopinda,
tjizekugwana tjimwe tjozha,
koga shango inogalila tjatjose.
5 Zhuba lobhuda kakale zhuba longina,
likatjimbidza labgwilila kwalinobhuda.
6 Phepo inohwuhwudzila ku burwa,
ikapotelekela ku bunandzwa,
phepo ino poteleka ika tendeleka,
ikabgwilila kwainodwa.
7 Njizi dzose dzowungila ku gungwa,
koga gungwa alitozhala,
njizi kwadzinowungila,
ikoko dzobgwilila kakale.
8 Zwithu zose zwizhele manyalo,
nge zila isina ungatjenesa,
zhisho alitogutshiwa ngobona,
na iyo zebe aitozhala ngohwa.
9 Tjagalatjilipo nditjo tjinowobepo,
ne tjakatongo shingwa, nditjo tjinowoshingwa,
akuna tjithu tjitshwa mu shango.
10 Akuna tjithu tjingayi nge kwatjo,
“Bona, itjetji tjitshwa?”
Tjakatongobepo kale,
mu makole tisathu tikabepo.
11 Akuna ikumbuludzo tje zwakatongo bepo,
kene akutobepo kualakana
zwithu zwitjowoshingikala,
muna batjowozha shule kwa ngwenu.
Butjenjedu madatha
12 Imi Nsumikili ndakabe mambo we Iziraela mu Jerusalema. 13 Ndakashingisa nkumbulo wangu kushaka ne kufunyungudza ne butjenjedu, tjimwe ne tjimwe tjinoshingikala mu shango, Ndzimu wakapa bakololo be bathu ntolo kuti badzulane nawo. 14 Ndakabona tjimwe ne tjimwe tjinoshingikala mu shango, koga bonani, tjimwe ne tjimwe madatha ekutatana ne phepo. 15 Tjakakombama atjingatambunudziwe ne tjisipo atjingabagwe. 16 Ndakazwidwa ndikati, “Ndakawana butjenjedu bukulu, kupinda bose bakatongo tungamila Jerusalema kunditangila, kakale nkumbulo wangu wakabe ne kuzhala butjenjedu ne luzibo.” 17 Kakale ndakashingisa nkumbulo wangu kuziba butjenjedu ne bupengo ne bulengwe. Ndakabona kuti kose ikoku naiko hwutatana ne phepo koga. 18 Mu butjenjedu kuzhele kudziyidzika, kakale iye unopaphidza luzibo unopaphidza buyendasi.
