1
Amashiwi yapa musumba wa Ninife. Icitabo icacimonwa ica kwa Nahumu, umwina Elikoshi.
2
Yawe ni Lesa uwakwata ubufuba kabili alalandula; Yawe alalandula kabili aisulamo icipyu; Yawe alalandula pa balwani bakwe, kabili alatwalilila ubukali bwakwe pa balwani bakwe.
3
Yawe tafulwa bwangu kabili alikwatisha amaka; takalekefye abantu ababi. Yawe apita muli kankungwe kabili namu cimwela, kabili amakumbi elukungu lwa makasa yakwe.
4
Alakalipila bemba nokumulenga ukukana; alakamya ne mimana yonse. Bashani takosa, kabili na Kameli wine; amaluba yakwa Lebanoni nayabonsa.
5
Impili shilatenta pa cinso cakwe, kabili ne fyulu filasunguluka; Isonde lilatenkana pa cinso cakwe, icine fye, isonde nabantu bonse abekalapo balasunkana.
6
Bushe ninani uwingashanshako nga afulwa? Bushe ninani uwinga pusukako ku bukali ne cipyu cakwe? Icipyu cakwe cisuma ngo lubingu lwa mulilo, kabili ne fimabwe filalepauka pa cinso cakwe.
7
Yawe musuma, elinga mu bushiku bwa bwafya; kabili acingilial bonse ababa muli ena.
8
Lelo akaloya abalwani bakwe umupwilako ku lyeshi ilyamaka; akabapuminkisha fye mu mfifi.
9
Bushe imwe mwe bantu bubi nshi ubo mulepanga ukucita Yawe? Imwe akamulofya umupwilapo; ubwafya tabwakabwele umuku wacibili iyo.
10
Nge myunga iyakobana kabili ngo mwangashi waba cakolwa efyo mukatutaika nge mpimbili ishauma.
11
Ukufuma muli iwe, Ninife, ewafuma umuntu umo uwamapange ayakucita ifibi kuli Yawe, uupanda amano yafya bubifi.
12
Ifi efyo Yawe asosa ati, "Nangu fye bengakwata ubulamba shani kabili nangu bafula shani, bakaloba fye bonse; abantu babo bakafwa. Lelo iwe, Yuda: Nangu line nakusalapula, nshatwalilile ukukusalapula.
13
Nomba nkakontaula ilyo ikoli lyabantu ukufuma kuli imwe; nkaputaula iminyololo yenu."
14
Yawe napela icipope pali iwe, Ninife: "Tamwakabe abana babe abasenda ishina. Nkonaula utulubi utwa baswa kabili notwa kwenga ukufuma mu mayanda ya tulesa tobe, Nkakuteyanishisha inindi, pantu naliba uwasebana.
15
Lolesha, pampili epo yali amakasha ya uleleta imbila nsuma, uulebila imbila yamutende! Akusefya inshiku nkulu, Yuda, kabili ufikilishe ne filayo walaya, pantu ababi tabakabale abawililila icalo cenu nakabili; Pantu nalobelela fye umupwilapo.
