Kugwa kwa Shilambo sha Bhabhiloni
Gakapiteje genego, gunimmwene malaika juna alituluka kukopoka kunnungu. Ashinkukola mashili ga punda, na shilambolyo shikulangaywaga kwa ukonjelo gwakwe. Bhai, gwakweshiye lilobhe alinkuti, “Shigwile, shilambo shikulu sha Bhabhuloni shigwile! Nnaino shishibha ndamo ja mashetani, na ashimaoka bhangali bha mmbone, ndamo ja ijuni yangali ya mmbone na ya nyata. Pabha ilambo yowe ishikolelwa ukana gwa labhalabha, na bhapalume bha shilambolyo bhashigona nabhonji. Na bhaatendanga upindi bha pa shilambolyo, gubhapatilenje mali kwa ligongo lya shonanga shakwe.”
Kungai gumbilikene lilobhe lina kukopoka kunnungu lilinkuti,
“Mmandu bhangu, nshokangane shene shilambosho,
nnaikundikanyanje mwilebho yakwe,
mwiiembuyanje na mboteko yakwe.
Pabha ilebho yakwe ishipunda kushuluka,
ishigumbala mpaka niika kunnungu,
na a Nnungu bhaikumbushile ilebho yakwe.
Muntendelanje malinga shantendelenje mmanganya,
muntendelanje pabhili yantendelenjeyo.
Nshing'welo shakwemo munngumbashiyanje pabhili.
Mumpanganje mboteko na kuinjika, malinga shaitapaga,
na malinga shaikonjaga.
Pabha sha muntima akuti. ‘Ndemi apano, nne akongwa a mpalume.
Nne nngabha najwankongwe nshitenga, na wala nangali sha kwiigutanjila!’
Kwa lyene ligongolyo mambukute shiganng'imane lyubha limope,
shiwo na shililo na shibhanga.
Shatiniywe na moto,
pabha bhakunng'ukumula,
ni a Nnungu Bhakwete Mashili gowe.”
Bhapalume bha pa shilambolyo bhagonilenje nagwe jwenejo, akuno bhalikwiikonjanga kwa shonanga, shibhagutanje na kunngutanjila, pushibhalibhonanje lyoi lya tiniywa kwakwe. 10 Shibhajimangane kwa talika kwa ligongo lya jogopa mboteko yakwe, bhalinkutinji, “Ole! Ole, nnole shilambo sha Bhabhuloni, shilambo shikulungwa shikwete mashili! Pabha kwa shaa jimope ukumu jako jikuishile.”
11 Bhaatendanga upindi bha pa shilambolyo, shibhagutanje na kunngutanjila, pabha jwakwa auma kabhili upindi gwabhonji, 12 Atendaga uma indu ya igwinji. Shaabhu na ela, na maganga ga ela yaigwinji, na lulu, na nngubho ya kitani ja mmbone, na nngubho ya langi ja shambalau, na alili, na nngubho yanashe, na kila nkongo gwa nunjila, na kila shikelelo shieleywe kwa mbembe, na kila shikelelo sha mikongo ja ela yaigwinji, na sha shabha, na sha shitale, na sha malumalu, 13 na nndalashini, na ilunjilo, na lubhani, na mauta ga nunjila, na udi, na mvinyo, na mauta ga nsheituni, na utandi gwa mmbone, na ngano, na ng'ombe, na ngondolo, na palashi, na mutuka, na bhatumwa, yani bhandunji.
14 Bhaatendanga upindi bhalikummalanjilanga. “Mbwaiko yowe yugwaloleyaga ila iobhile, na utajili na kushuma kula kupelile, ukakombola kwiipata kabhili!” 15 Bhaatendanga upindi bhapatilenje mali kwa upindi na shene shilambosho, shibhajimangane kwa taliya kwa ligongo lya jogopa mboteko yakwe, bhaligutanga kwa ililo, 16 bhalinkutinji,
“Ole! Ole, shene shilambo shikulungwashi.
Gwayobhelele kuwalila nngubho ya kitani, ya langi ja shambalau, na yanashe,
na kwiikwatula na shaabhu, na maganga ga ela yaigwinji, na lulu!
17 Kwa shaa jimope utajili gwako uobhile!”
Na bhowe bhaendeshanga meli, na bhandunji bhowe bhakwendangana mmeli, na indu ina ikwenda mmashi, na bhandunji bhakwiipashilanga mmeli, na bhaakamulanga maengo mmeli, gubhajimimgene kwa taliya, 18 pushibhalibhonanje lyoi lya moto gwa tiniywa kwakwe, shibhagutanje kwa utiya bhalinkutinji. “Shikanabhe koposhela shilambo shikulungwa malinga sheneshi!” 19 Gubhaitutulilenje ndutuli mmitwe jabhonji, akuno bhaligutanga kwa shililo, bhalinkutinji.
“Ole! Ole, nnole shilambo shikulungwa shila!
Bhowe bhakwetenje meli,
bhapwaikenje na utajili gwakwe.
Kwa shaa jimope indu yowe ititimile!
20 Nng'angalalanje kunnungu
na mmandunji bha ukonjelo, ashimitume na ashinkulondola bha a Nnungu!
Pabha a Nnungu bhashiukumula
kwa ligongo lya itendi, yantendelenje mmanganya!”
21 Na malaika jumo akwete mashili, gwajinwile liganga lya mbuti liganga likulungwa lya yajila, gwalileshele mbhaali, alinkuti,
“Nneyo na shilambo shikulu sha Bhabhuloni,
shipinga leshelwa pai,
na wala shikabhoneka kabhili.
22 Nyimbo ya bhaagomba ingushingushi na bhaajimba,
na bhaagomba imbeta na mbalapala,
wala ikapilikanika kabhili munngwako.
Munngwako akabhoneka kabhili pundi,
wala akwete shiloi shoshowe.
Na liganga lya yajila likapilikanika kabhili munngwako.
23 Shilangaya sha kandili shikalangaya kabhili munngwako,
wala njobhela ya nng'angalo gwa ndoa,
ukapilikanika kabhili munngwako.
Pabha bhaatendanga upindi bhako, pubhalinginji bhandunji bha manyika pa shilambolyo.
Ilambo yowe ishipuganywa kwa uabhi gwako.”
24 Mmitala jako jibhoneshe minyai ja ashinkulondola, na bhandunji bha ukonjelo bha a Nnungu,
na minyai ja bhandunji bhowe bhabhulegwenje pa shilambolyo.
