Giri ooti mivule e giri oku mbale mbale kwʼamaizi.
7 Basunanga oikendi mungi,

“Ababasabiranga enkabi, abo zena nagibawanga,

10 Awo oBbalaki nʼasunguwalira ino oBbalamu, nʼakubba omu ngalo okulaga obusungu era nʼakoba oBbalamu ati, “Nakwetere kulaama balabe bange, neye tete iwe obasabiire nkabi emirundi egyo emisatu. 11 Aale atyanu ozwe aanu mangu okange e waanywe. Nabbaire nkusuubizire okukusasula nakusani ino, neye oMusengwa akufiikisirye.”
12 OBbalamu nʼairamu oBbalaki ati, “Abakwenda abewantumiire tinabakobeire nti, 13 ‘OBbalaki nʼowampa olubirirwe nga lwizwire efeeza nʼezaabbu, timpezya okukola ekintu kyonakyona oku lwange, waire kisa ooba kibbikibbi ni ndeka ekiragiro kya Musengwa? Ekikoba kiti, nga ndi nʼokukoba kiikyo kyonkani oMusengwa ekyankoba.’ 14 Atyanu nkanga omu bantu bange, neye oleke nsooke nkulabule oku bintu abantu abo ebibalikola abantubo omu biseera ebiiza.”

17 “Ebinjolesebwa ebibakwataku, tibyakubbaawo biseera binu;
ebinjolesebwa ebibakwataku, tibyakubbaawo kuti kunu.
Okabaka yalizwayo omwibyaire lya Yaakobbo ooti nkota;
okabaka yalizwa omu Baisirairi.
Yalitentena empumi gyʼabʼeibyaire lya Mowaabbu,

18 Yaliwangula abalabebe abʼomwEdomu,

era iye oIsirairi yeeyongeranga kubba wʼamaani.
19 Omufugi yalizwa omwibyaire lya Yaakobbo,
nʼajigirica abalibba basigairewo omu kibuga.”
20 Awo oBbalamu omu kwolesebwa nʼabona aBamereki kaisi nʼatumula ebibonobye ebyobunaabbi ati,
“ABamereki niibo ababbaire abakirira nakimo amaani,
neye oku nkomerero, bakujigirika.”
21 Awo omu kwolesebwa nʼabona aBakeeni, kaisi nʼatumula ebibonobye ebyobunaabbi ati,
“Ekifo kyanywe ekimutyamamu kiriku omukuumi
kiri ooti kisaasiriro kya nyonyi ekiyalukire omwibbaale.
22 Neye era inywe aBakeeni, aBasuuli balibajigirica,
aBasuuli owebalibba babatwaire omu buwambe.”
23 Awo era nʼatumula ebibonobye ebyobunaabbi ati,
“Wobe! OKibbumba oweyalikola ekyo, naani eyalisigalawo nga mwomi?
24 Emeeri gyalizwera oku mwalo e Kitimu,
gyaliwangula abʼe Suuli nʼabʼEbberi,
neye era aBakitimu bona oKibbumba yalibajigirica.”
25 Awo oBbalamu nʼasimbuka nʼakanga e waabwe, nʼoBbalaki yena nʼakwata eyiye.
