Kuwa kwa mushi Babulo
1 Panyuma pakubona mutukashi watanta pa cinyama cifubela, kayi ndalabona naumbi mungelo kaseluka kwilu, ukute ngofu shinene shabwendeleshi, kayi kubala kwakendi kwalamunikila cishi conse ca panshi. 2 Walompololeti,
“Ee, lawu! Babulo waya lulumbi, lawu!
Mulaba mwakwikala bibanda
ne mishimu yasafwana,
kayi ne bikeni byaipa bya mishobo iliyonse.
3 Pakwinga mishobo yonse ilanu bwalwa bwa nyotwa ya bufule bwakendi.
Bami pa cishi capanshi balikwinsa bupombo nendiye,
nabo beshi makwebo balawininapo pa bufule bwakendi.”
4 Kayi ndalanyumfwa maswi kwilu akwambeti,
“Kamufumamo bantu bakame! Musonokeni!
Kamutamantamo lubasu mu bwipishi bwakendi. Nenjamwe kamutakapewako
Cisubulo!
5 Pakwinga bwipishi bwakendi bulashiki kwilu,
Neye Lesa lanuku nshila shaipa shamutukashi usa.
6 Kamumwinshilani celana neco ncalamwinshila.
Mubwesheleni mankanda abili pa bintu mbyalensa.
Isushani nkomesshi yakendi mankanda abili
akulula kwa byakunwa mbuli neye ncalamubambila.
7 Mupensheni aungumane
kwelana ne lulumbi lwa bwikalo bwa buboni mbwalalipa mwine.
Pakwinga ukute kulilumbanya mwine
‘Eti ndekala pano,’ Ndemwami!
Ntame mukalubingi, nkana mbapo ne malila!”
8 “Pacebo ici, malwashi,
kukolwa ne kulila kayi ne nsala
nibikamushikile pa busuba bumo.
Kayi nakapye ne mulilo,
lino Mwami Lesa nakamomboloshe,
pakwinga Lesa niwangofu.”
9 Bami ba pacishi capanshi mbwalikwinsa nabo bufule mulunkumbwa lwakendi nibakamulile, bakabona bwishi ne mulilo ulamutentenga. 10 Nibakemane patali kabebelela nkwalapenshewanga kutineti naboyo ngabapenshewako nibakambengeti, “Akonempa mapensho alenshiki ku munshi unene! Cansoni kuli Babulo! Cindi ca komboloshewa cilashiki.”
11 Bashimakwebo pa cishi capanshi nibakalile, pakwinga nipakabule muntu shikula makwebo, 12 a golide nambi silifa nambi a mabwe a mulo wadula nambi malungu. Paliya eti akaule byakufwala byabo byaina byafubeluka nambi byashilika nambi byafubela nambi citondo ciliconse canunkila nambi ciliconse capangiwa ne munyanga nambi ciliconse capangiwa kucitondo cadula nambi ca mukuba nambi ca cela nambi ca libwe lya mabo. 13 Kayi paliya eti akauleko Sinamoni nambi twanunkila nambi mafuta anunkila cena nambi lubani nambi bwalwa nambi mafuta a citondo ca ma olifi nambi bunga bwanana nambi maila nambi ng'ombe nambi mbelele nambi mahaki nambi bikoki nambi basha kayi ne bantu. 14 Bashimakwebo nibakambeti, “Bintu byaina mbyowayandanga bilakupwili, bintu byakobe byaina bilonongeke nteti bakabicanepo.” 15 Bashimakwebo mbwalawinisha nibakabe ne buyowa nibakemane patali pakubona nceti akapengenga. Nibakamulile malila a nsoni, 16 kabambeti, “Mama cansoni! Mama cansoni! Obe munshi unene wafwala byakufwala byadula byafubeluka, ne byafubela. Munshi webakwa cena ne golidi ne mabwe adula abeketi malungu. 17 Ca nsoni pakwinga mu kacindi kang'anowa buboni bwingi bulonongeke!”
Bashikukwasula mato ne muntu uliyense lafumininga kulikonse, basebenshi balikwinsa makwebo Lwenje nibakemane patali, 18 pakubona bwishi bwa kupya kwakendi. Nibakompololeti,
“Ni munshi cini welana ne munshi unene uwu!”
19 Balalitukwila bulongo pa mitwi kabompolola, kulila ne kunyumfwa nsoni. Kabambeti,
“Mama ca nsoni! Mama ca nsoni!
Uwu munshi unene walawinisha bonse balikukute mato cebo ca buboni bwakendi
lino muka cindi kang'anowa bonse bulonongeke.”
20 Lino kamukondwani Omuli kwilu cebo ca bintu bilamwinshikili.
Amwe mwaswepa, amwe batumwa kayi nenjamwe bashinshimi kamukondwani,
pakwinga Lesa lamombolosho ne kumupa cisubulo pali ibyo mbyalamwinshilani.
21 Mungelo wa ngofu walamanta libwe linene ne kuliwala mu lwenje cubwaa! Ne kwambeti, “Copele cisa nceti ukawalwe panshi mwangofu Babulo munshi unene nteti ukabonekepo sobwe!” 22 Popelapo balikwimbila ne tulumbu ne tunkobele ne beshikulilisha matolompita kayi ne beshikwimbila nabambi nteti bakanyumfwikepo. Nteti mukacanike kanyuka mpaya nambi maswi a bantu balapelenga bunga. 23 Malampi akobe nakashimike, ngululu sha cikwati nteti shikanyumfwikepo, pakwinga bashimakwebo bakobe balikuba bacindama pa cishi ca panshi. Kayi mishobo yonse pa cishi ca panshi yalayungaulwa ne buloshi bwakobe.
24 Babulo walapewa cisubulo, pakwinga mu munshi mwalacanika milopa ya bashinshimi ne milopa yabantu ba Lesa, ne ya bantu nabambi balashinwa pa cishi ca panshi.
