Njimbo 60

Ntembezelo wekukumbila simba lekukunda
1Ndzimu, makatilasha, mukatifupatila,
makabe makagwadzamoyo ngatitjibgwililanani!
2Makathama kuti shango itengenyeke;
makaipalula ikazhuka;
lulwamisani mikhwe imu shango, ngobe inozunguzika.
3Makathama kuti bathu benyu badziyidziwe
nge zwithu zwinjinji zwakasima;
makatipa nkumbi kuti ting'we,
nkumbi iwoyo wakatidzungula.
4Makabigila banomutja tjilakidzo,
kuti batizhile kuguli mathumo anodwa mu dati.
5Thamani kuti tikunde nge luboko gwenyu,
kakale mutidabile,
kuti ndizo ibabo bamunoda batjidziwe.
6Ndzimu wakalebeleka mu bugalo
gwawo gwakayengemala eti,
“Nge shatho ye kunda kwangu,
ndowothubukanya Shekemu,
kakale ndowokobanya nkuku we Sukoti.
7Giliyadi nde yangu na Manase nde yangu;
Ifureimi i hwutshe ye tjivikili tje nsholo wangu,
Juda i swimbo yangu ye bushe.
8Moabu i bhavu landinongulila;
Edomu iye ndomposa nge shangu yangu;
ndomimilila Filisitiya ngobe ndankunda.”
9Ndiyani unowondiyisa ku nzi nkulu wakabakiligwa nge luswingo?
Ndiyani unowonditungamila ndiyenda ku Edomu.
10Apa amuzotilasha kene Ndzimu?
Amutoyenda ne babhayani bedu Ndzimu.
11Mutibhatshe mu zwita,
ngobe bhatsho ye nthu ayina nshingo.
12Ndzimu unowotipa tjilopa
ndiwo unowotshamba zwita zwedu nge makumbo.
