Yobu
19 Yobu anayankha kuti:
4 Ngati ndalakwitsadi chinachake,
Zotsatira zake ndithana nazo ndekha.
5 Ngati mukupitiriza kudzikweza pamaso panga,
Nʼkumanena kuti ndikuyenera kukumana ndi mavuto amene ndikukumana nawowa,
6 Dziwani kuti ndi Mulungu amene wandisocheretsa,
Ndipo wandikola ndi ukonde wake wosakira nyama.
7 Ine ndakhala ndikulira chifukwa cha mavuto anga, koma palibe amene akundichitira zabwino.+
Ndakhala ndikufuula popempha thandizo, koma chilungamo sichikupezeka.+
8 Iye watseka njira yanga ndi khoma lamiyala moti sindingathe kudutsa,
Watchinga njira zanga ndi mdima.+
9 Iye wandichotsera ulemerero wanga,
Ndipo wandivula chisoti chaulemu kumutu kwanga.
10 Wandigumula mbali zonse mpaka ndatheratu.
Chiyembekezo changa wachizula ngati mtengo.
12 Asilikali ake asonkhana pamodzi nʼkundizungulira,
Ndipo amanga misasa yawo kuzungulira tenti yanga.
15 Alendo amʼnyumba mwanga+ komanso akapolo anga aakazi akundiona ngati munthu wachilendo.
Ndine mlendo kwa iwo.
16 Ndaitana wantchito wanga koma sakundiyankha.
Ndamuchonderera ndi pakamwa panga kuti andichitire chifundo.
18 Ngakhale ana angʼonoangʼono akundinyoza.
Ndikaimirira, akumayamba kundinyogodola.
23 Zikanakhala bwino mawu anga akanalembedwa,
Zikanakhala bwino akanalembedwa mʼbuku!
24 Akanalembedwa pathanthwe mochita kugoba kuti akhale mpaka kalekale
Akanalembedwa ndi chitsulo chogobera nʼkuthirapo mtovu.
25 Ine ndikudziwa bwino kuti wondiwombola+ ali moyo,
Iye adzabwera nthawi ina ndipo adzaimirira padziko lapansi.*
26 Pambuyo poti khungu langa lawonongedwa chonchi,
Ndidakali moyo, ndidzaona Mulungu,
27 Ine ndidzamuona ndekha,
Maso angawa adzamuona, osati a munthu wina.+
Koma mkati mwanga ndikumva kupanikizika kwambiri.*
28 Chifukwa inu mukunena kuti, ‘Tikukuzunza mwa njira yanji?’+
Popeza amene ndayambitsa mavutowa ndine.
