12 “‘Lelo kabiyeni ku cifulo candi icali mu Shilo,+ uko nabikile ishina lyandi pa kubala,+ no kumona ifyo nacitile kuli cena pa mulandu wa bubi bwa bantu bandi abena Israele.+ 13 Nomba pa mulandu wa kuti mwalecita fyonse ifi,’ e fyasosa Yehova, ‘kabili nalecelela no kumweba+ lelo tamwaumfwile,+ kabili nalemwita lelo tamwayaswike,+ 14 filya nacitile kuli Shilo+ e fyo nkacita na ku ng’anda iyainikwa ishina lyandi,+ iyo mwacetekelamo,+ kabili e fyo nkacita na ku cifulo ico napeele kuli imwe na ku fikolwe fyenu. 15 Kabili nkamupasa ukufuma ku cinso candi,+ ifyo napashile bamunyinenwe bonse, abana bonse aba kwa Efraimu.’+
16 “Na iwe, wipepelako aba bantu, nangu ukubapapaatilako nangu ukubapepelako, kabili wipapaata kuli ine,+ pantu nshakakumfwe.+ 17 Bushe taulemona ifyo balecita mu misumba ya mu Yuda na mu misebo ya mu Yerusalemu?+ 18 Abana baleteba inkuni, na bashibo balekosha umulilo, na bakashi balekasa umufuba wa kuti bapangilemo imikate ya kupeela amalambo kuli ‘namfumu wa mu muulu,’+ kabili balepongolwela imituulo ya mwangashi+ kuli balesa bambi pa kuti bankalifye.+ 19 ‘Bushe nine balekalifya?’ e fyasosa Yehova.+ ‘Bushe te bene baleikalifya, pa kuti babe ne nsoni pa menso?’+ 20 E ico Shikulu Mulopwe Yehova atila, ‘Moneni! Ubukali bwandi e lyo ne cipyu candi filepongolwelwa pali cino cifulo,+ na pa bantunse na pa fitekwa, na pa miti ya mu mpanga+ na pa fisabo fya mwi bala; kabili fikapya, no kushima iyo.’+
21 “Yehova wa mabumba, Lesa wa kwa Israele, atila, ‘Lundeni imituulo yenu iya koca pa malambo yenu no kulya umunofu.+ 22 Pantu nshalandile ne fikolwe fyenu pa mituulo ya koca na pa malambo, kabili nshabebele pali ifi mu bushiku nabafumishe mu Egupti.+ 23 Lelo aya e mashiwi nabebele ilyo nabapeele amafunde, nati: “Muleumfwa kwi shiwi lyandi,+ na ine nkaba Lesa wenu,+ na imwe mukaba abantu bandi; kabili mule-enda mu nshila shonse+ isho namweba, pa kuti ifintu fikamuwamine.”’+ 24 Lelo tabaumfwile, kabili tabakutike,+ lelo balekonka amapange ukulingana no kutalama kwa mitima yabo,+ ica kuti batendeke ukubwelela ku numa, no kuleka ukuya ku ntanshi,+ 25 ukutula pa bushiku ifikolwe fyenu fyafumine mu calo ca Egupti ukufika na lelo;+ kabili nalemutumina ababomfi bandi bonse bakasesema, ukucelela cila bushiku no kubatuma.+ 26 Awe tabaumfwile kuli ine, kabili tabakutike,+ lelo baletalamika imikoshi yabo.+ Ifyo bacitile fyalicilile pa fyacitile ifikolwe fyabo.+
27 “Kabili ukabebe amashiwi yonse aya,+ lelo tabakomfwe kuli iwe nakalya; kabili ukabilikishe kuli bena, lelo tabakakwasuke nakalya.+ 28 Kabili ukabebe, auti, ‘Ulu e luko ulushumfwa kwi shiwi lya kwa Yehova Lesa wabo,+ abashaumfwa ukubasalapula.+ Bucishinka bwalipwa, bwalifuma mu tunwa twabo.’+
29 “Beyeni umushishi wenu uo mushabeya no ku-upoosa,+ kabili samuneni ulwimbo lwa bulanda+ pa tupili apashaba kantu, pantu Yehova nakaana+ kabili nasha inkulo iyo ubukali bwakwe bwaishilepo.+ 30 ‘Pantu abana ba kwa Yuda nabacita ifyabipa mu menso yandi,’ e fyasosa Yehova. ‘Balibika ifya bunani mu ng’anda iyainikwa ishina lyandi, pa kuti baikoweshe.+ 31 Kabili nabakuula ififulo fya kupepelapo mu Tofete,+ ifyaba mu mupokapoka wa mwana wa kwa Hinomu,+ pa kuti boce abana babo abaume na bana babo abanakashi mu mulilo,+ icintu ico nshasosele kabili icishatalile acisa mu mutima wandi.’+
32 “‘E ico, moneni! inshiku shileisa,’ e fyasosa Yehova, ‘ilyo kushakabe Tofete no mupokapoka wa mwana wa kwa Hinomu, lelo ukaba umupokapoka wa kwipailamo;+ kabili mu Tofete e mo bakalashiika abantu mpaka incende ikabule.+ 33 Ne fitumbi fya aba bantu fikaba ifya kulya fya fyuni fya mu lwelele ne fya nama sha mu mpanga, kabili takwakabe uwa kufitiinya.+ 34 Kabili nkatalalika mu misumba ya kwa Yuda na mu misebo ya mu Yerusalemu ishiwi lya kusekelela, ne shiwi lya kwa shibwinga ne shiwi lya kwa nabwinga;+ pantu icalo cikaba fye icibolya.’”+
