Yobu
26 Yobu wakazgora kuti:
2 “Wawovwira munthu uyo walije nkhongono!
Waponoska woko ilo lilije nkhongono!+
3 Wapeleka ulongozgi uwemi chomene kwa munthu uyo walije vinjeru!+
Wavumbura vinjeru vyako vinandi vyakovwira!
4 Kasi ukuyezga kuyowoya na njani,
Ndipo ni njani uyo wakutuma kuti uyowoye vinthu ivi?*
5 Ŵakufwa ŵalije nkhongono ndipo ŵakumbwambwantha,
Ŵali pasi chomene kuluska maji na ivyo vikukhalamo.
7 Mlengalenga wa kumpoto wawutandazulira pachanya pa malo ghambura kanthu,+
Na kuning’ina* charu chapasi pambura kanthu,
8 Wakukaka maji mu mabingu ghake,+
Mwakuti mabingu ghakuphulika yayi na uzito wa maji,
9 Wakubenekelera mpando wake wachifumu,
Wakutandazulira mabingu pachanya pake.+
11 Mizati ya kuchanya yikusunkhunyika,
Yikuzukuma na kuchenya kwake.
12 Wakuvundura nyanja na nkhongono zake,+
Chikoko* chikuru cha mu nyanja wakuchiteketa tuchokotuchoko, chifukwa cha umanyi wake.+
13 Na mvuchi* wake wakupanga mtambo kuŵa mbee,
Kawoko kake kakulasa njoka yakuchimbira.
14 Wona! Utu nthuvigaŵa tuchoko waka twa nthowa zake,+
Tikupulika waka kuphwepwerezga kwake!
Ntheura ni njani wangapulika kududumira kwake kwankhongono?”+
