33 “Koma tsopano inu a Yobu, imvani mawu anga,

Ndipo mvetserani zonse zimene ndikufuna kunena.

 2 Inetu nditsegula pakamwa panga,

Lilime langa likuyenera* kulankhula.

 3 Zonena zanga zikusonyeza kuwongoka kwa mtima wanga,+

Ndipo milomo yanga imanena moona mtima zimene ndikudziwa.

 4 Mzimu wa Mulungu unandiumba,+

Ndipo mpweya wa Wamphamvuyonse unandipatsa moyo.+

 5 Ngati mungathe ndiyankheni.

Konzekerani kuti mundifotokozere mfundo zanu.

 6 Inetu nʼchimodzimodzi ndi inu pamaso pa Mulungu woona.

Inenso ndinaumbidwa ndi dongo.+

 7 Choncho musachite nane mantha,

Ndipo musapanikizike ndi zimene ndikuuzeni.

 8 Koma ndakumvani mukunena kuti,

Inde, ndakhala ndikumva mawu anu akuti,

 9 ‘Ndine woyera, wopanda tchimo,+

Ndine wosadetsedwa, ndilibe cholakwa.+

10 Koma Mulungu amapeza zifukwa zonditsutsira,

Amandiona ngati mdani wake.+

11 Amaika mapazi anga mʼmatangadza,

Amayangʼanitsitsa njira zanga zonse.’+

14 Paja Mulungu amalankhula koyamba ndi kachiwiri,

Koma palibe amene amamvetsera.

15 Iye amalankhula mʼmaloto ndi mʼmasomphenya a usiku,+

Anthu akakhala mʼtulo tofa nato,

Akamagona pamabedi awo.

16 Pa nthawi imeneyi mʼpamene amatsegula anthu makutu,+

Ndipo amadinda* malangizo ake mʼmaganizo mwawo,

17 Pofuna kubweza munthu kuti asachite zoipa+

Komanso kumuteteza kuti asakhale wonyada.+

18 Mulungu amateteza moyo wake kuti usapite kudzenje,*+

Amateteza munthu kuti asawonongedwe ndi lupanga.*

19 Munthu amadzudzulidwanso ndi ululu ali pabedi pake,

Ndiponso pamene mafupa ake akumupweteka nthawi zonse,

20 Moti amaipidwa* ndi chakudya,

Ndipo iye amakana* ngakhale chakudya chabwino.+

21 Mnofu wake umatha, osaonekanso,

Ndipo mafupa ake amene samaoneka, amakhala pamtunda.*

22 Moyo wake umayandikira kudzenje.*

Umayandikira amene amabweretsa imfa.

23 Ngati iye ali ndi mthenga,*

Womulankhulira mmodzi pa omulankhulira 1,000,

Kuti auze munthu zimene zili zoyenera,

24 Zikatero Mulungu amamukomera mtima nʼkunena kuti,

‘Mupulumutseni kuti asapite mʼdzenje,*+

25 Mnofu wake usalale* kuposa mmene unalili ali mnyamata.+

Abwerere ku masiku ake aunyamata pamene anali ndi mphamvu.’+

26 Adzapemphera kwa Mulungu+ ndipo iye adzamukomera mtima,

Adzaona nkhope yake akufuula mosangalala,

Ndipo Mulungu adzayambanso kuona munthuyo kuti ndi wolungama.

27 Munthu ameneyo adzauza* anthu kuti,

‘Ndachimwa+ komanso kukhotetsa zimene zinali zolungama,

Koma sindinalandire zimene ndimayenera kulandira.*

28 Iye wandiwombola* kuti ndisapite kudzenje,*+

Ndipo moyo wanga udzaona kuwala.’

29 Zoonadi, Mulungu amachitira munthu zinthu zonsezi

Amamuchitira kawiri kapena katatu,

30 Kuti amupulumutse* kudzenje,*

Nʼcholinga choti asangalale ndi moyo.+

33 Ngati mulibe mawu alionse, mvetserani mawu anga.

Khalani chete, ndipo ine ndikuphunzitsani kuti mukhale wanzeru.”
