1Musule lyazeezi ndakabona mungelo umwi kaboola ansi kuzwa kujulu. Wakalijisi bulelo bupati, aboobo nyika yoonse yakamweka akaambo kakubala kwakwe. 2Wakapozomoka ajwi pati wati, “Wawa, wawa Babuloni munzi mupati! Waba busena bukkala myuuya mibi!

Bami boonse bamunyika bakacita bumambe anguwo, abalo basambazi bakavuba kwiindilila akaambo kazisusi zyakwe zinji.”
4Mpawo ndakamvwa jwi limbi lyakazwa kujulu lyakati,
“Amuzwe! Tamweelede kubisya anguwo,

5Nkaambo zinyonyoono zyakwe zili lundene

Leza waiyeeya milandu yamukaintu ooyu.
6Amumucite mbubonya mbwaakamucita anywebo,

Munkomeki njaakanywisizya bamwi amumunywisye

7Amumupenzye akumuusya nsoni kapati,

8Nkaambo kaako buzuba bumwi uyoosikilwa mapenzi aaya:

9Bami baansi bakacita bumambe azisusi zimwi anguwo bayoolila akuusa kapati baakubona busi kabuuntumuka munzi ooyo nuupya. 10Bayooima aalaale akaambo kakuyoowa kuti ambweni inga abalo banjila mucisubulo cawo. Bayooamba kuti “Maawe, maawe omunzi mupati wanguzu Babuloni! Ncobeni mukaindi kaniini buyo aaka wasubulwa!”
11Basimakwebo baansi abalo bayooulila akweema, nkaambo tabacuuli limbi lubono lwawo. 12Taacikwe uucuula ngolida zyabo, nsiliva, tubwe tweebesi, ngale, masani aandeketela aacisombo, aatuba, aasalala pyu, misamu yamisyobo-misyobo zintu ziindene-indene zipangwa ameja aabazovu, zyamisamu iidula, azintu zyakapangwa amukuba, lubulo, zyamabwe mayandisi, 13zyatununkilizyo tunanwa atununkilizyo tumwi tulibedelede, waini, mafuta, busu bwamaila, ŋombe, mbelele, mabbiza ankalaki, abazike nkokuti bantu beni. 14Basimakwebo baambila munzi ooyu kuti, “Lino zintu zibotu zyoonse nzyookali kusukamina zyayaaya, lubono loonse azimwi zibotu zyamana, tokazijani limbi pe!” 15Basimakwebo aabo bakavubide akaambo kakusambalila mumunzi uulya, abalo bayooima aalaale, nkaambo kakuti bayoowa kuti inga ambweni basubulwa anguwo.

Wakali kulibotya angolida, tubwe, angale! 17Ncobeni, mukaindi kaniini buyo aaka wanyonyookelwa lubono loonse oolu!”
Lino bapati bamato boonse, abasinyendo boonse, antoomwe abeenzya mato, alimwi abaabo boonse babelesya mato mumakwebo aabo bakaima alaale. 18Nibakabona busi kabuuntumuka munzi ooyo nuupya bakalila bati, “Munzi nzi wali kukozya munzi mupati ooyu?” 19Eelyo bantu aaba bakalivwikila vu amitwe, bakalila akweema bakati, “Maawe, maawe omunzi mupati!

Basimakwebo bako bakali bantu banguzu kwiindilila munyika yoonse. Lino kwaamba zyamabibo aako aakubeja, wakacenga bantu bamisyobo yoonse!”
24Babuloni wakasubulwa nkaambo bulowa bwabasinsimi abasalali bwakajanika mulinguwo, iiyi, abulowa bwabantu boonse bakajaigwa aansi.
