40 Mulungu wanu alonga: “Balangazani, balangazani mbumba yanga.+
2 Longani munjira yakuti inakhuya ntima wa* Yerusalemu,
Pontho mpangeni kuti basa inacita iye mwakukakamizwa yamala,
Mulando ukakhala na iye wamala.+
Iye atcunyuswa na Yahova thangwi ya madawo onsene adacita iye.”+
3 Munthu ali kukhuwa nʼthando:
Sasanyirani njira ya Yahova!+
“Sasanyirani Mulungu wathu+ njira yakulungama nʼthando.+
4 Magowa onsene mbatutirwe,
Mapiri onsene mbazerezwe, pontho nthunda zonsene zizerezwe,
Mbuto zakukumbika-kumbika mbazifikirwe.
Pontho mbuto za magolomondo mbazizerezwe.+
5 Mbiri ya Yahova inadzapangizika,+
Pontho anthu onsene anadzaona pyenepi,+
Thangwi Yahova ndiye adalonga pyenepi.”
6 Bveserani! Alipo analonga: “Dziwisani!”
Unango abvundza: “Ndinadziwisanji?”
Anthu onsene ndi ninga tsanga iwisi.
Ufuni wawo wakukhonda mala ndi ninga maluwa a ntsanga.+
Mwandimomwene anthu ndi ninga tsanga iwisi.
9 Kwira paphiri yakulapha,
Iwe nkazi anabweresera Sioni mphangwa zadidi.+
Khuwa mwakugaluza kakamwe,
Iwe nkazi anabweresera Yerusalemu mphangwa zadidi.
Khuwa mwakugaluza, leka kugopa.
Dziwisa mizinda ya Yuda kuti: “Mulungu wanu ali pano.”+
Nkhombo zinafuna iye kupereka ziri na iye,
Pontho pinalipa iye piri na iye.+
11 Iye anadzatsalakana* nkumbi wace ninga pinacita nkumbizi.+
Iye anadzagumanyiza anamabira na manja ace,
Pontho anadzaakwata mbaaikha panthimandzi pace.
Iye anadzatsogolera mwadidi mabira anayamwisa.+
12 Kodi madzi onsene a mʼbara asakwana nʼdjanja ya ani,+
Pontho mbani adaphatisira djanja yace* toera kupima kudzulu?
14 Mbani adabvundzisa iye toera akhale na udziwisi,
Peno mbani adampfundzisa njira zaulungami,
Mbani adampfundzisa udziwisi,
Peno mbani adampangiza njira yakubvesesa kwandimomwene?+
15 Onani! Madzindza a anthu akhala ninga thotho ya madzi mu nʼgolo,
Pontho ndi ninga pfumbi yakucepa pa bhalansa.+
Onani! Iye asathukusa ntsuwa ninga pfumbi.
16 Ngakhale nsitu wa Libhano nee unakwana toera moto upitirize kugaka,*
Pontho pinyama pya nsitu unoyu nee pinakwana toera kupereka ntsembe zakupiswa.
17 Kwa iye, madzindza onsene a anthu asakhala ninga nee alipo;+
Iye asaaona ninga nkhabe basa, pontho asaaona ninga nkhabepo pinthu.+
18 Mulungu munamulandanisa na ani?+
Ndi cinthu cipi cinafuna kumulandanisa na imwe?+
19 Munthu asacita dzimunthu,*
Buluka penepo, nyakuphata basa na utale asaikhwaza ouro,+
Pontho iye asaisasanyira na maunyolo a parata.
20 Munthu asasankhula muti toera acite dzimunthu,+
Muti wakuti nkhabe bvunda.
Iye asasaka mesiri waluso,
Toera kusema dzimunthu yakuti nkhabe kugwa.+
21 Kodi imwe nee musapidziwa?
Kodi imwe nee mwabva?
Kodi imwe nee mwadziwiswa kutomera kale?
Kodi imwe nee mwabvesesa kutomera ndzidzi udacitwa dziko yapantsi?+
22 Alipo anakhala padzulu pa dziko yapantsi yakubulungika,*+
Pontho anthu anakhala mwenemo ndi ninga anyadzombe.
Iye asathasika kudzulu ninga nguwo yakupepa,
Pontho iye asafuthulako ninga tenti toera kukhalamo.+
23 Iye asamalisa pidzo pya atongi,
Pontho asacitisa anyakutonga miseru a pa dziko kukhala akusowa basa.
24 Iwo akhala ninga miti idatcekwa kwene cincino,
Iwo ndi ninga miti idabzwalwa cincino,
Iwo ndi ninga miti yakuti ikutoma kwene kukhala na mitcitci,
Yakuti isapepeserwa kabodzi basi mbiuma,
Pontho isamburuswa na mphepo ninga pinacitwa mapesi.+
25 “Kodi imwe munakwanisa kundilandanisa na ani? Mbani adalandana na ine?” Adalonga ndi Wakucena.
26 “Lamusani maso anu mbamuyangʼana kudzulu.
Mbani adacita nyenyezi zenezi zonsene?+
Ndi Ule wakuti asazicitisa kubuluka ninga anyankhondo, mbazilengesa ibodzi na ibodzi;
Iye asacemera ibodzi na ibodzi na dzina yace.+
Nakuti iye ali na mphambvu zizinji na zakudzumisa,+
Ibodzi na ibodzi iri pa mbuto yace.
27 Iwe Yakobe, pontho iwe Izraeli, thangwi yanji walonga kuti:
‘Yahova nee akuona njira yanga,
Pontho Mulungu nee anditsalakana mwakulungama’?+
28 Kodi iwe nkhabe kupidziwa? Kodi udzati kupibva?
Yahova, Ule Adacita pinthu pyonsene pa dziko yapantsi ndi Mulungu wakwenda na kwenda.+
Iye nkhabe neta, nee kukhala wakusowa mphambvu.+
Nkhabe anakwanisa kubvesesa udziwisi wace.+
30 Aphale asaneta mbakhala akusowa mphambvu,
Pontho aphale asagwegweduka mbagwa,
31 Mbwenye ale anadikhira Yahova anadzakhala pontho na mphambvu.
Iwo anadzamburuka kudzulu kakamwe ninga pyapungu.+
Iwo anadzathamanga mbakhonda neta;
Iwo anadzafamba mbakhonda neta.”+
