Mbilaelo ya Jeremia
7Iwe Muṋe washu wo mphura nda mbo ḓi fhurea;

Zwino ndi vho ṱwa ndi tshi nzhonzhowedzwa,

8Ndi tshi amba,

“Vha a huvhadzana, vha a lozwana!”
Zwenezwo ipfi ḽa Muṋe washu ḽi ṱwa ḽi tshi nnyadzisa
ḽi tshi ntsemisa ḓuvha ḽoṱhe.
9Hone arali nda ri,
“Muṋe washu a thi tsha ḓo mu humbula,
a thi tsha ḓo amba nga dzina ḽawe,”
ipfi ḽawe ḽone mbiluni yanga ḽi nga mulilo u dugaho
wo shatelwaho maramboni anga.
Ndo neta nga u ḽi dzumba ngomu hanga, zwa kunda.
10Ndi pfa mahevhehevhe a vhanzhi ndi tshi vho pfi,
“Vho-Nyofho-thungo-dzoṱhe”

Ha pfi, “Ndi zwone,

Na dzone khonani dzanga dzo lindela ndi tshi redzemuwa,

“Khamusi u ḓo kanda tshikwekwe;
ndi hone ri tshi ḓo mu kona ra mu lifhedza.”
11Hone Muṋe washu u ima na nṋe unga muhali a ofhisaho;

a vha nga koni tshithu.
Vha ḓo kundwa vha shona tshoṱhe;
u nyadziwa havho a hu nga vhuyi ha hangwiwa.
12Iwe Muṋe washu Mulangazwoṱhe,
Iwe ane wa ṱola vha fulufhedzeaho,
wa sedza mbilu na mihumbulo yo dzumbamaho,
kha ndi vhone u tshi vha lifhedza;
nndwa yanga ndo i kumedza Iwe.
13Haleluya! Imbelani Muṋe washu!
U lamukisa muheḓana zwanḓani zwa maswina awe.
14Nga hu teketelwe ḓuvha ḽe nda bebwa ngaḽo!
Ḓuvha ḽe mme anga vha mmbeba ngaḽo

15Nga hu teketelwe munna we a ḓivhadza khotsi anga
ayo mafhungo,

“Vho bebelwa ṅwana wa mutukana!”
16Onoyo munna ngavhe a tshi nga miḓi ya Sodoma na Gomora
ye Muṋe washu a i phusukanya a sa i khathutsheli.
Ngavhe a tshi pfa tshililo nga matsheloni,
na mukosi wa nndwa masiari tshivhangalala.
17Ndi mini a songo mmbulahele thumbuni,
mme anga vha vha tshalo tshanga,

18Ndi mini ndo vhuya nda bva thumbuni
nda vhona khombo na maṱungu,
nda ṱwa ndo shona nda vhuya nda fa?
