Tani, nzinda usakhala ekha ule ukhadzala na anthu! Iye wakhala ninga nzice wankazi, iye akhali nkulu pakati pa madziko. Iye akhali mwana wamambo wankazi pakati pa mbuto, wakhala ntumiki wakukakamizwa basa. ^a Iye asalira mwakuwawa namasiku, misozi iri pa matama ace. Pakati pa anyakufuna ace onsene nkhabe m'bodzi wakuntsangalaza; axamwali ace onsene amusandukira, iwo akhala anyamalwa ace. Yuda aenda ku ukapolo mu nyatwa na ubitcha wakupweteka; iye asakhala pakati pa madziko mbwenye nkhabe kugumana mbuto yakupumira. Anyakunthamangisa ace onsene amphata iye pakati pa nyatwa zace. Minjira yakuenda ku Sioni isalira, thangwi nkhabe munthu anabwera ku maphwando akusankhulwa. Misuwo yace yonsene ndi yaukhundu, anyansembe ace asabuula, atsikana ace asatsukwala, iye ene ali mu kutsukwala kwakuwawa. Anyakuida ace akhala ambuya ace, anyamalwa ace ali mu ntendere, thangwi Baba wathu ampasa nyatwa thangwi ya kupanduka kwace kuzinji. Ana ace aenda kutali, atsogolerwa mu ukapolo patsogolo pa nyamalwa. ^b Unkulu wace onsene wabuluka kuna mwana wankazi wa Sioni. Akulu ace akhala ninga mbawala zinakhonda kugumana udzu; iwo asathawa mwakusowa mphambvu patsogolo pa anyakuathamangisa. Mu ntsiku za nyatwa zace na kuzungaira kwace, Yerusalemu asakumbuka pinthu pyonsene pyakufunika pikhali pyace kubulukira ntsiku zakale. Pidagwa mbumba yace m'manja mwa nyamalwa, mbamukakhonda munthu wakuphedza, anyamalwa aona mbaseka kugwa kwace. Yerusalemu adadawa kakamwe; natenepo wakhala cinthu cakunyozewa. Onsene akhanlemedza iye asannyoza, thangwi aona umaliseru wace; iye ene asabuula mbatcenama. Kunyanyasika kwace kwaphatana na mpheto za nguwo yace; iye nkhabe kunyerezera tsogolo lace. Kugwa kwace ndi kwakudzumatirisa, mbamukakhonda munthu wakutsangalaza. “Onani, Baba wanga, nyatwa zanga, thangwi nyamalwa akunda!” ^c Nyamalwa afungula djanja yace pa pinthu pyonsene pyakufunika pyace; iye aona madziko mbapita m'mbuto yakucena yace—ale imwe mukhadaakhondesa kupita mu mpingo wanu. Mbumba yace yonsene isabuula mukasaka iyo nkate; asagulisa pinthu pyawo pyakufunika toera kugula cakudya basi toera akhale maso. “Onani, Baba wanga, mboonani, thangwi ine ndakhala wakunyozewa. Kodi nkhabe kanthu kwa imwe, imwe monsene munapita munjira? Yang'anani mboonani khala kuli kutsukwala kunango ninga kutsukwala kwanga, kudabweresewa pa ine, kudabweresa Baba wathu pa ntsiku ya ukali wace waukulu. Kubulukira kudzulu Iye atumiza moto m'mafupa mwanga, ukhaakunda. Atandalika nyambo pa miyendo yanga mbandibweza nduyu; andisiya ekha, wakuneta ntsiku yonsene. Kupanduka kwanga kwamangwa toera kukhale goli; kwalukwa pabodzi na djanja yace, kwaikhwa pa nkhosi panga, mbandimalisa mphambvu zanga. Baba Wankulu-nkulu andipereka m'manja mwa ale andikhonda kukwanisa kulimbana nawo. Baba Wankulu-nkulu akhonda amuna onsene aumphambvu ali pakati panga; Iye acemera mpingo kulimbana na ine toera kupwanya aphale anga. Baba Wankulu-nkulu apondaponda mwana wankazi ntsikana wa Yuda ninga mu cakupondera vinyu. ^d Thangwi ya pinthu ipi ine ndisalira; maso anga, maso anga asabuluka misozi, thangwi nyakutsangalaza anakwanisa kulamusa nzimu wanga ali kutali na ine. Ana anga ali ekha, thangwi nyamalwa akunda.” Sioni asafuthula manja ace, mbwenye nkhabe munthu wakutsangalaza iye. Baba wathu asankhula kuti anyakwendekana a Yakobe akhale anyamalwa ace; Yerusalemu wakhala cinthu cakunyanyasika pakati pawo. Baba wathu ndi wakulungama, thangwi ine ndapanduka fala yace. Bveserani, imwe mbumba zonsene, mbamuona nyatwa zanga; atsikana anga na aphale anga aenda ku ukapolo. Ine ndacemera anyakufuna anga, mbwenye andinyengeza. Anyansembe anga na akulu anga afa mu nzinda mukhasaka iwo cakudya basi toera akhale maso. Onani, Baba wanga, thangwi ine ndiri mu nyatwa; mimba yanga isabvurudzika, ntima wanga wagwedameka nkati mwanga, thangwi ine ndapanduka kakamwe. Munjira supada isapha anthu; m'nyumba muli ninga kufa. Abva kubuula kwanga, mbakakhonda munthu wakutsangalaza ine. Anyamalwa anga onsene abva nyatwa zanga; iwo asakomerwa thangwi imwe mwacita pyenepi. Bweresani ntsiku idalonga imwe, toera iwo akhale ninga ine. Pyakuipa pyawo pyonsene mbpibwere patsogolo panu, mbamuacitire iwo ninga mudacitira ine thangwi ya kupanduka kwanga konsene; thangwi kubuula kwanga ndi kuzinji, ntima wanga wafewa.
