17 Uyo wali na mulandu wa ndopa chifukwa cha kutora umoyo wa munthu* wakhalirenge waka kuchimbirachimbira m’paka mu dindi woma!*+
Paŵavye wakumovwira.
18 Uyo wakwenda kwambura kafukwa waponoskekenge,+
Kweni uyo ni muryarya mu mendero ghake wawenge mwamabuchi.+
19 Uyo wakulima munda wake waŵenge na chakurya chinandi,
Kweni uyo wakulondezga vyawaka waŵenge mu ukavu ukuru.+
20 Munthu wakugomezgeka wapokerenge vitumbiko vinandi,+
Kweni uyo wakuchimbilira kusambazga waŵenge wambura mulandu chara.+
21 Ntchiwemi yayi kutemwera.+
Kweni munthu wangananga chifukwa cha kachingwa kadoo!
22 Munthu wabina* wakunwekera usambazi,
Kwambura kumanya kuti ukavu umusangenge.

Kuluska uyo wakumyamyatika waka na lulimi lwake.
24 Uyo wakulyera awiske na anyina, na kuyowoya kuti: “Mbuheni yayi,”+
Ni mubwezi wa munthu uyo wakuparanya.+

Kweni uyo wakuŵasizimilira maso wapokerenge nthembo zinandi.
28 Para ŵaheni ŵamba kuwusa, ŵanthu ŵakubisama,
Kweni para ŵamara, ŵarunji ŵakwandana.+
