1 Lino Lesa walatulayeti tukatambule kupumwina nkwalikwamba, twela kuba bantu bacetuka kwambeti kapatakaba muntu naba umo eshakalilwe kutambula kupumwina uko nkwalalaya.
Chobulyo, tutokomele kuti kanji kuwaniki niyobonahala kukangwa kukasika hesepiso ibashali kumasulenu enu kuti mukenjile mupumulo ya Ireeza.
2 Pakwinga nenjafwe tulanyumfu Mulumbe Waina mbuli naboyo ncebalonyumfwa. Mulumbe ngobalanyumfwa paliya ncewalensa, pakwinga balanyumfowa baliya kutambula mu lushomo sobwe.
Mukuti tubawambilwa makande malotu sina njabo. Kono uwo mulaezo kanaubawoli kutusa abo basenababena hamwina mwitumelo nabo babakuteki.
3 Neco afwe otwashoma Lesa tulakutambulunga kupumwina nkwalatulaya. Cili mbuli mwine ncalambeti, “Ee, ndalakalala ne kulumbileti, ‘Nteti bakengile mucishi ncendalikuyanda kubapeti bakapumwinemo.’” Lesa walambeco nambi calikubeti ncito yakendi ya kulenga cishi yalikuba yapwa.
Mukuti iswe tubazumini katwinjile mweyo ipumulo, sina mwabawambili, “Sina hanibakoki chabukali, Kufwa bulyo kwinjila mupumulo yangu.” Nihakwinabulyo, mitendo yakubumba ibamani kumatangilo ekanda.
4 Pakwinga mu Mabala napamo palembweti, “Lesa mpwalapwisha ncito yakendi yonse walapumwina pa busuba bwa busanu ne bubili.”
Mukuti abawambi kumwi kwamana nizuba Lesabata, “Ireeza abapumuli izuba Lesabata kumisebezi yakwe yonse,”
5 Kayi pa makani opelawa Lesa walambeti, “Nteti bakengilepo mu musena wakendi wa kupumwinamo.”
Hape abawambi, “Mubakafwe benjile ipumulo yangu.”
6 Lesa walabambeti nabambi nibakengile mu mumusena wa kupumwininamo. Nomba abo balatanguna kunyumfwa Mulumbe Waina baliya kwingilamo cebo ca kukana kushoma ncalamba Lesa.
Chobulyo, lisibikilwe kuti bamwi kuti benjile mupumulo, imi sina habali bangi Maisilaele babazuwi makande malotu basanababenjili chebaka lyakusakuteka,
7 Ecebo Lesa ncalabambila bushiku nabumbi ubo mbwalakungeti “Lelo”. Ebushiku mbwalikwamba Lesa kupitila muli Dafeti, mpopalapita byaka bingi mpwalamba mu Mabala awa ngotulambapo kendi alambangeti, “Na lelo munyumfwe liswi lya Lesa, kamutayumisha myoyo”
Ireeza hape abacho kubikwe limwi izuba lisupwa, “Sunu.” Kuzwa kumasule amazuba amwi, Abawambi chakusebelisa Davida, Sina habawambi kutanzi nati, “Sunu haiba muzuwa inzwi lyakwe kanjimukukutuhalisi inkulo zenu,”
8 Na Yoswa nalacikonsha kwingisha bantu mu kupumwina nkwalalaya Lesa, nshinga Lesa nalabula kwambapo sha busuba nabumbi.
Mukuti haiba Joshua ababahele ipumulo, Ireeza nasana abawambi kuamana ni limwi izuba.
9 Pacebo ico, bushiku bwa kupumwina kwa bantu ba Lesa mpobucili, mbuli Lesa ncalapumwina pa busuba bwa busanu ne bubili.
Linuhaho kusina yimwi Isabata yepumulo ibikilwe bantu ba Ireeza.
10 Pakwinga muntu lengili mukupumwina kwa Lesa ekwambeti lapumwini ku ncito shakendi mbuli Lesa ncalapumwina mpwalapwisha ncito shakendi.
Mukuti yese winjili mupumulo ya Ireeza iye mwine chenjila mupumulo yamitendo yakwe, Sina Ireeza mwabatendeli kuyakwe.
11 Neco katwelekeshani cangofu kukutambula kupumwina uko, kutineti kapataba muntu naba umo eshakalilwe kukutambula cebo ca kukana kushoma.
Chobulyo, tube nichiseho kwinjila mweyo ipumulo, kokuti kanji nikuwaniki yetenawile mumukwa wakusakuteka ubabatendi.
12 Pakwinga Maswi a Lesa nayumi kayi akute ngofu. Alumata kupita cibeshi calumata konse konse. Akute kutimbula pakati ne kushika pekala buyumi ne mushimu, kayi ne pekala mafupa ne mikolofupa. Kayi Maswi a Lesa akute kuyubulula bintu mbyebakute kuyeya ne mbyebasuni bantu.
Mukuti izwi lye Ireeza lihala imi lihwela imi lishengete kuhita mukwale ucheka mambali wonse. Lihweza bulyo ni kulukulula mozo ni luhuho, ni kukopanya kuzwila kumuhomo. Liwola kwiziba minahano ni milelo izwililila kunkulo.
13 Paliya cintu ncela kwalilwa Lesa kucibona, ukute kubibona bilengwa byonse mbuli ncebibele pakwinga byonse bili pantangalala, ni kulyendiye nkotwela kucanika ne mulandu wa bintu mbyotwali kwinsa.
Kakwina chibabumbwa chilipatite habusu bwa Ireeza. Kunzeyobulyo, zintu zonse ziza hanze ni kwiyaluka habusu bwakwe iye utulitabilila kwali.
14 Neco katupitilishani kwitatisha mwangofu lushomo lwetu, pakwinga tukute Shimulumbo Mukulene wapita bonse, uyo walakengila kwilu kuli Lesa. Uyu ni Yesu Mwanendi Lesa.
Chobulyo, kubona twina mupurista mukulwana iye yabahiti kumawulu akwiwulu, Jesu mwana wa Ireeza, tukwatilile kakukola kuchitubazumini.
15 Shimulumbo Mukulene ngotukute nteyo wela kubula kutunyumfwila nkumbo otwalefuka sobwe. Shimulumbo wetu walasunkwa munshila shonse mbuli ncetulasunkwanga, nsombi nendi paliya bwipishi mbwalensa.
