Nkuku we mafupa akawoma
1 Tjiazha tja Yahwe tjakandibhata ngono tjikandidusila pazhe nge meya ya Yahwe ngono tjikandimisa pakati kwe nkuku wakabe uli zhele mafupa. 2 Bakanditungamila kuyenda yenda pakati kwawo, bonani ndakabona mafupa manjinji mu nkuku ngono akawoma kwazo. 3 Ngono bakandibhuzwa bakati, “Nkololo we nthu, apa mafupa iyawa angatjila kene?” Adabila nditi, “Imwi She Yahwe, ndimwi munoziba.” 4 Ipapo bakabe beti kundili, “Lebelambeli ku mafupa iyawa uti, ‘Imwi mafupa akawoma ihwani dama la Yahwe. 5 She Yahwe bakati ku mafupa iyawa, “Ndowofemela mu muli ngono mowotjila. 6 Ndowolonga makanyu mu muli ngono athama kuti nyama ibe mu muli amuambadza ganda, ndowofemela mu muli ngono mowotjila, ngono mowoziba kuti ndimi Yahwe.” ’ ”
7 Ndizo alebelambeli sekwa ndakadwiwa. Ngono ndakati nditjalebelambeli bonani kukabe ne zhoba tjinyolotjo, nsindo we kulobana kwe mafupa ebhatana, fupa libhatana ne fupa. 8 Ndakalinga ngono abona makanyu ebepo ne nyama muali ne ganda liapetela, koga kwakabe kusina meya muali.
9 Ngono bakabe bendidwa beti, “Lebelambeli meya ye kufema, lebelambeli nkololo we nthu, idwa meya uti, ‘She Yahwe bakati, “Buya kudwa mu mbizho nna, meya, ufemele muna ibaba bakabulawa kuti batjile.” ’ ” 10 Ndizo alebelambeli sekwa bakandidwa ngono meya ye kufema ikangina mu bali ngono bakatjila bakamilika bakama ne makumbo abo bali mbunga usinshoma.
11 Ipapo Yahwe bakati kundili, “Nkololo we nthu, mafupa iyawa bathu bose be Iziraela. Bona banoti, ‘Mafupa edu awoma ne kugalabgwe kwedu akutjipo, tafa tapela.’ 12 Ndizo wali lebelambeli uti ku bali, ‘She Yahwe bakati, “Ndowozhula zwikumbu zwenyu, ngono amudusa mu zwikumbu zwenyu, imwi bathu bangu ngono ndowomubuza ku shango ye Iziraela. 13 Ngono mowoziba kuti ndimi Yahwe pandinowozhula zwikumbu zwenyu ngono ndimudusa mu zwikumbu zwenyu, imwi bathu bangu. 14 Ndowolonga meya yangu mu muli ngono mowotjila, ngono ndowomugadza mu shango yenyu. Ipapo mowoziba kuti imi Yahwe ndimi ndaleba ngono ndakushinga, kojalo Yahwe.” ’ ”
