Chifaniziro changa chosema komanso chifaniziro chachitsulo* nʼzimene zinalamula zimenezi.’
6 Inuyo mwamva komanso kuona zonsezo.

Kuyambira panopa kupita mʼtsogolo, ndikulengeza zinthu zatsopano kwa inu,+
Zinsinsi zobisika zimene simunkazidziwa.

Choncho simunganene kuti, ‘Ifetu tinkazidziwa kale zimenezi.’
Chifukwa ndikudziwa kuti inu ndi achinyengo,+
Ndipo kuyambira pamene munabadwa mumatchedwa wochimwa.+
9 Koma ndidzabweza mkwiyo wanga chifukwa cha dzina langa.+

21 Iwo sanamve ludzu pamene iye ankawatsogolera kudutsa mʼchipululu.+
Iye anachititsa kuti madzi atuluke pathanthwe kuti iwo amwe.
Anangʼamba thanthwe nʼkupangitsa kuti madzi atuluke.”+
