Zekâya 5:1-11
5 Ngakabandisha kabidi mêsu, meme kumona muvungu ubuuka.
2 Yeye wakangebeja ne: “Udi umona tshinyi?”
Meme kuandamuna ne: “Ndi mmona muvungu ubuuka, muikale nkubita* 20 mu bule ne nkubita dikumi mu butshiama.”
3 Pashishe, yeye wakangambila ne: “Eu mmulawu udi uya pa mutu pa buloba buonso, bualu muntu yonso udi wiba,+ anu mudibu bafunde mu luseke luawu lumue, ki mmunyokibue to; ne muntu yonso udi uditshipa mutshipu,+ anu mudibu bafunde mu luseke luawu lukuabu, ki mmunyokibue to.
4 ‘Ndi muwutume,’ ke mudi Yehowa wa biluilu wamba, ‘ne wowu newubuele mu nzubu wa muivi ne mu nzubu wa muntu udi uditshipa mutshipu wa dishima mu dîna dianyi; newushale munda mua nzubu au, newoshe nzubu au ne mabaya ende ne mabue ende.’”
5 Pashishe muanjelu uvua uyukila nanyi wakalua, kungambilaye ne: “Bandisha koku mêsu, mona tshidi tshipatuka.”
6 Ke meme kuebeja ne: “Ntshinyi etshi?”
Yeye kuandamuna ne: “Etshi ntshipiminu tshia efa* tshidi tshipatuka.” Yeye kutungunuka ne: “Etshi ke tshimuenekelu tshiabu pa buloba buonso.”
7 Ngakamona ne: tshibuikidiji tshia tshijengu tshia tshiamu tshia ntende tshivua tshiambulula muulu, ne kuvua mukaji musombe munda mua tshipiminu atshi.
8 Nunku, yeye wakamba ne: “Ebu ke Bubi.” Pashishe wakamusakila mu tshipiminu tshia efa, pashishe yeye kupusa tshiamu tshia ntende tshia bujitu pa mushiku wa tshipiminu.
9 Pashishe meme kubandisha mêsu, meme kumona bakaji babidi balua, ne bavua bapapala mu lupepele. Bavua ne mapuapua bu mapuapua a kasonga nyunyi. Bakabandisha tshipiminu atshi pankatshi pa buloba ne diulu.
10 Ke meme kuebeja muanjelu uvua uyukila nanyi ne: “Badi baya ne tshipiminu tshia efa penyi?”
11 Yeye kuandamuna ne: “Mu buloba bua Shinâ*+ bua kumuibakila nzubu; padibu bamulongolola, nebamutekamu pa muaba wende menemene.”
