1 Pambeli Bilidadi mundu wa mlima wa Shuhi kayangula,

2 Wuli, Ayubu ndili dawuleki kuywanga filongu afi?

Cha kwaa wiholi, na yufwi datukuwombeli.

3 Nongwa liki yuwi ukutugola kucha vang'ongolu?

Nongwa liki ukutuwona yufwi vasisighi?

4 Yuwi ukwigobola umweni kwa maya vaku,

Wuli, mlimawu dawulekiwi kwanongwa ya yuwi?

Awu migonguveli mikomi iwushiwi mahali paki?

5 Nakaka, ngesha ya mundu mwafu dayijimishiwi,

lwengi lwa motu waki dawung'aliki ha.

6 Mulibudi lyaki damuvi chisi,

na luliku lumlangashila dalujimishiwi.

7 Davayendi yendi kwa kwikwala,

na fila fyayilata kugola dafigoleki ha.

8 Mawulu vaki mweni davamwingishi mumtambu,

kila payenda akwingila mulyowu.

9 Mtambu dawumuwomeshi muchishugupi,

chimsulubu dachimlemileli.

10 Vamfifila chimsulubu muuganga,

kateghiliwa mtambu munjila yaki.

11 Chipwembwi chikomi chikumkapusha mbembu shosi,

chikumkovikela kokosi kwayenda.

12 Avelili mlundamali, lakini ponopa kavahela chindu,

gobuleku siva ndemindemi kumuwisha.

13 Utami wa wafu ukulya ngwembi yaki,

utami wa njifwa wukulya fisingu fyaki.

14 Vandu vonda vavifyi,

dayeghiwa kwa mutwa wa mikapusha.

15 Ponopa kila mundu akuwesha kwikala mulibudi lyaki,

wanatumia chibiliti kugwijusha findu fyosi.

16 Mweni kava kucha libiki liyumili,

na mitafyi yaki dayiyumi.

17 Pamlima kwahela mundu daghavi na ngumbungumbu na mweni,

wala litawa lyaki dalivi kuliveli ha pamlima.

18 Kawushiwa mungesha kadangiwa kulwisa,

kavingivingiwa kutali na mlima.

19 Kavahela vana wala vayisukulu,

kwahela mundu yasighalili mumakalu vaki.

20 Vandu va uhehi vajinga na chila chimuwonili,

chipwembwi chivakola vandu va kundamba.

21 Afi ndi dafivapati vandu va wafu,

pala ndi mahali pavayikala vandu vangajila kumumanya Chapanga.
