Loono lua Salomone
2 “Nenka bu kilongo* kia mu mapia, ki ku bukunkula
bua kalunga ka mema. Kilongo kia lise kia mu mabanda.”
2 “Anka bu kilongo kia lise munkatshi mua milobo,
Nyi bi ande a kifulo munkatshi mua ba nsonguakashi.”
3 “Anka bu mutshi wa pome munkatshi mua mitshi
Ya mu mutamba, nyi bi ande a kifulo munkatshi mua ba nsongualume.
Ne na lukalo lukata lua kushala mu mutaala waye,
Na kikuba kiaye ki nsaasa mukanua muande.
4 Mmuntueshe mu nshibo* i na bia kudia bia musangelo,
Na kifulo kiaye kibaadi bu ebendela adipuku kunundu kua mutue wande.
5 Mpeyi bukome na mikate ya tukuba tua nfinyo;
Nyingisheyi na bikuba bia pome,
Muanda ne na maladi a kifulo.
6 Mboko yaye ibakashi i muushi mua mutue wande,
Na mboko yaye ibalume ayinganya kiipa.
7 Bana bakashi ba mu Yelusalema, nenutekie bua’shi nuitshipe,
Kui nkondoolo na kui ntengu ikashi ya mmapia’shi:
Tanutompanga kuibuesha sunga kubusha kifulo muandi mpa na p’akifikila.
8 Nkuete kupusha eyi dia ande a kifulo!
Talayi! Ngiawa kuete kufika,
Afu’akaminanga miengie ikata, etumbanga miengie ipeela.
9 Ande a kifulo enka bu lukondoolo, enka bu ntengu muana.
Biadi’bia, mmuimane kunyima kua mudimba wetu,
Atadila ku madidishi,
Eelobo ku miasa ya ku madidishi.
10 Ande a kifulo andungula’shi:
‘Ebuee, obe andi mufule,
Obe ande e buwa tuende pamune.
11 Tala! kipungo kia mpeshi kibapu kukila.
Mpeshi takianoko, bende.
12 Bilongo bibapu kutuka muiumbo,
Kipungo kia kulumbula mitshi ya nfinyo kibalombana,
Na loono lu’ekutshi alupushika muiumbo dietu.
13 Tukuba tua kumpala tua mutshi wa nfigiye tubamongo;
Mitshi ya nfinyo ibatusha bilongo na ayitusha mapembue.
Ebuee obe ande a kifulo.
Na ofikie obe ande e buwa tuende pamune.
14 Ayi baboo nkudimba ande! e mu bipoko bia lubuebue,
Mu ma mbalo afuame ngofu a lubuebue,
Kumiina namu nkumone na mpushe eyi diobe,
Muanda eyi diobe adinsankisha, na muenekielo oobe e buwa bukile.’”
15 “Etukuatshileyi mikiengie,
Tuana tua mikiengie tukuete kuluisha mafuba a nfinyo,
Muanda mafuba etu a nfinyo ngeele bilongo.”
16 “Ande a kifulo ngande, na ami ne aye.
Kuete kudishila mikooko yaye mu bilongo bia lise.
17 Mpa na apapuku kapapi ka muifuku bipeela bipeela
Na apashimina miesheshi. Alukiila bukidi, obe ande a kifulo,
Anka bu lukondoolo sunga bu ntengu muana pa miengie itutshibuule.*
