1 Ngohe unnyokanikiye mangota bhimii akalohe akakolongwa! Nnelengane nu kulela malelo nhwalo gwa malagho ghighapala kunkolela. 2 Ulohe gwino ubholite na ngobho hino nahiangabhika na kuhobheya chamane jhake. 3 Chaabo jhino na feza hino imelite ukongwa nu ukongwa gwenie ndi ghughupala kuntakalila mangota, na jhene najhimemena yegha jhino ngita mwotu. Mangota mikilundikii ulohe mu machiko ghanga ghu kujhomolela. 4 Malepite jhe malepo bhubhahengita mahengo kumighonda jhino. Nnyokanikiye chibhakokoleka! Na kulela kwabheka bheniya bhibhahuna mu mighonda jhino kihikite kwa Bhambo jwa akakomana ngondo. 5 Ntamingine pannema kwa kuhanganila na kwa kunomenekeya. Nkendite yegha jhino tayale mu lichiko lya kuchinjwa. 6 Muhadabwile na kwakoma bhando bhangalemwa, ata ataungine jhe na mangota.

7 Yene, makalongo bhango, nhimbilile mu kunendekeya Bhambo ade papala kuhika. Munolekeye jwailema chailendelela mahuno ade puipala kukomala maha. Jwenio ujhelendele kuhimbilila kipinde choha cha kulema kubhoka hula jha kutumbula ade hula jhu kujhomolela. 8 Na mangota mwe hele mipalwa kuhimbilila na kujhema ngii ku mwojho, nhwalo lichiko lya kuhika Bhambo libhandikile.

9 Makalongo bhango, mangakokolekehana jhe mabhene chika nkoto kuhadabulwa na Chapanga. Nnolekehe jwakutuhadabula abhandikile. 10 Makalongo anda mupai ku kilandanikii kuhimbilila mu mang'ahe, mujhighe nnandanikilo gwa akalondole bha Chapanga bhibhatangicha Lilobhe lya Chapanga kwa liina lya Bhambo. 11 Majhito twakemita bhina mota nhwalo gwa kuhimbilila. Bho, nnyohine malobhe gha kuhimbilila kwa Ayubo, na umanyingine chantendila Bhambo kujhomolela kwake. Nhwalo Bhambo atwelii umbone na kiya.

12 Kupeta kwa gheniya, makalongo mwangalapanikii ng'o kunane kwa Chapanga amu kulapa kwa nnema amu kwa kilebhe chochoha. Nnongela, “Chakaka,” pipatopi kulonge chakaka, na nnongela, “Nahi jhe,” pipatope kulonge nahi jhe, nkoto kuhadabulwa na Chapanga.

13 Bho, ngohe abhii mundo pakate jhino jhuna malola? Jwenio ipalwa annyopa Chapanga. Na bho, abhii jwahangana mwojho? Na jwenio ipalwa kujhemba mihambo jha kunnomba. 14 Bho, abhii mundo jwailwalwa pakate jhino? Jwenio abhakema akanahota bha bhando bhibhannyeketii Kilichitu, na bhene nabhannyopela nu kumpakaya mahuta kwa liina lya Bhambo. 15 Nhwalo anda bhajhopite kwa kihobholelo jwalwalwa nalama, Bhambo nampepula jwenio. Ata abhehe na uhakaho nalekekewa. 16 Yene nnongelane uhakaho gwino na nnyopelane kupala nnamangane. Kujhopa kwa mundo jwajheketelwa palonge jha Chapanga jhuna makakala kwamaha hake anda ajhopite kwa kughagha. 17 Eliya akibha mundo ngita twenga. Ngannyopeta kwa kughagha hula ikomite jhe pannema, na hula ikakomite jhe mu kilambo kwa yaka itato na miyehe chita. 18 Peniya, ngajhopa kabhele, hula ngahikomita kuhumii kunane kwa Chapanga ade pannema na mimeya ngaimelita na kupachika.

19 Makalongo bhango, anda mundo abhii kinyume na uchakaka pakate jhino na jhonge ngamujhicha, 20 jwankelebhuha jwenio jhuna uhakaho kubhoke mundela jhake jha kuhobholela naughombola uhuke gwa jwenio jwabhii na uhakaho mu kuwe, na uhakaho twe nabhokewa.
