Mukukoma ŵanthu ndipo mukudokera, kweni mukuvisanga yayi. Mukutimbana na kurwa nkhondo.+ Mulije vinthu, chifukwa chakuti mukupempha yayi. 3 Mukulomba, kweni mukupokera yayi, chifukwa mukulomba na khumbo liheni, kuti musakazire pa makhumbiro ghinu gha thupi.

Lekani lemba likuti: “Chiuta wakususka ŵakujikuzga,+ kweni ŵakujiyuyura wakuŵapa lusungu lukuru.”+
