16 Tsopano Yobu anayankha kuti:
2 “Ndamva zinthu zambiri ngati zimenezi.
Nonsenu ndinu otonthoza onditopetsa!+
4 Inenso ndikanatha kulankhula ngati mmene mukuchitiramu,
Moyo wanu ukanakhala ngati mmene ulili moyo wanga,
Kodi ndikanalankhula mawu ogometsa okunenani?+
Ndipo kodi ndikanakupukusirani mutu?+
5 Ndikanakulimbikitsani ndi mawu a m’kamwa mwanga,+
Ndipo chitonthozo cha milomo yanga chikanachepetsa . . .
8 Komanso inu mwandigwira. Umenewu wakhala umboni,+
Mwakuti kuwonda kwanga kwandiukira ndipo kukuchitira umboni pankhope panga.
9 Mkwiyo wa Mulungu wandikhadzula. Iye ali nane chidani+
Ndipo akundikukutira mano.+
Mdani wanga akundiyang’ana ndi diso lozonda.+
10 Iwo ayasamula kukamwa kwawo kuti andimeze.+
Andimenya mbama ndi mnyozo.
Asonkhana ambirimbiri kuti alimbane nane.+
12 Ine ndinali pa mtendere koma iye anandikhutchumula.+
Anandigwira kumbuyo kwa khosi n’kundimenyetsa pansi,
Ndipo walunjikitsa mivi yake pa ine.
13 Anthu ake oponya mivi ndi uta+ andizungulira.
Iye wandiboola impso+ koma osamva chisoni,
Wakhuthulira ndulu yanga pansi.
16 Nkhope yanga yafiira chifukwa cholira,+
Ndipo pazikope zanga pali mdima wandiweyani,+
17 Chonsecho manja anga sanachite zachiwawa,
Ndipo pemphero langa ndi loyera.+
20 Anzanga asanduka ondilankhulira otsutsana nane.+
Diso langa lakhala likuyang’ana kwa Mulungu osagona.+
