21Asinoni Isaya watumine majwi akuleka Mwene Hezekiya akukumbulula ku lilombelo lya mwene ngwendi, 22Shukulu Kalunga nendeka ngwendi, “Nganda ya Yelusalema ilinakujola yove, Senakelivi, nakukushendumuna. 23Yove unayongola ngwove iyajo iwunashaula nakuyeluwisa?

Walishashele ngeci yove washinjile miti yailaja ya kendale, na miti yaivwa ya sipelese, co ngwove waketele ku vishwata vyakuzika manene. 25Lalo walishashele ngwove wendile masima, co wanwile mema a mu mafuti a vaka-kwija, lalo ngwove mendi a mashwalale vove alyatangelele mu Ndonga ya Nailo nakuyumisa cau.
26“Kuma kuwazivile ngeci yange Kalunga njayongwele laja vutumbe ovu ndi? Co ololo njinavusholola. Njakwanene nzili yakutengulula vinganda vya vimpaka kuvipwisa mitumbo ya vishwashwa. 27Vanu vakelemo kuvakele na nzili, oloni vazeyele nakuziva lyova. Vafwile ngwe mwila wa mu lihya nambe ngwe shaku yakukolela a ciluli ca njuvo, co ipekumuka na lihunzi lyakutundilila mu ngangela.
28“Oloni njazivuka kalesi yove, na vije viwukalingi na kuje kuukai. Njazivuka nomu muukanjilwisila. 29Njatambula laja muzimbu wakuluvala kwove, na kulyalesa kwove, co njikakumwesa ngeci yange njapwa iya, omwo njikakutwala kwoshe kuje kunjinashaka.
30“Eci cikeco cimweso ca vije vikasholoka. Mwaka uno na mungolosika, mukalya lika vimbuto vyakulimenena mu shwata, oloni mungolosikulula mukalima tiliku nakuyiteja, co mukakuna mikolovozi ya vushuka vwa vinyu, nakulya vushuka vwakwo. 31Co vaje vakasala mu Yunda vakayoya mwamuvwa, ngwe vimena vije vitwala mizi yavyo manene mu livu, co viima vushuka. 32Mu Yelusalema mukakala vanu, co a Munkinda wa Siyone akakala vaje vanovoka, omwo Shukulu Kalunga Muka-nzili yoshe nayongola vyuma evi ngeci visholoke.
33“Omu mukemwo mwanendeka Shukulu Kalunga ali mwene wa vaAsilya ngwendi, ‘Kakakovela mu nganda eyi, nambe kwashamo mukili umo embwe. Kukwesi mashwalale vali na vintelo vakaija kuyehi na nganda eyi, nambe kuzengeleka cimpaka. 34Ikeye akeluka lalo mu ngila ije yezililile, kujeneka kukovela mu nganda. Yange Kalunga, njinendekamo. 35Njikamena nganda eyi nakuyinyunga, omwo a lizina lyange, na omwo a cikulaeso njalingile kuli ngamba yange Ndaviti.’ ”
36Co a vutsiki vuje vene kangelo ka Shukulu Kalunga waile ku cilombo ca vaAsilya, watsiile mashwalale vakupwa 185,000. Co alikaki mutondo, vavawanene voshe vanatsi! 37Asinoni Senakelivi mwene wa va Asilya watundileko, welukile ku Nenevayi. 38A litangwa limo, omo wakele nakulemesa mu njuvo ya njambi yendi Nisoloke, vana vendi vavali va vanalume, Andalameleke na Shalezele, vamutsiile na mikwale yavo, co vatewelele ku lifuti lya Alalate. Munendi Esalehandone wamushwanene kupwa mwene.
