20 Vinyo likuzelezeska,+ chakumwa chakuloŵezga chikuhangayiska,+
Waliyose uyo wakupuluskika navyo walije vinjeru.+
2 Kofya kwa themba kuli nga nkhubangura kwa nkhalamu.+
Yose uyo wakulikwiyiska wakuŵika umoyo wake pangozi.+
4 Munthu mukata wakulima yayi mu chifuku,
Ntheura wazamupempheska mu nyengo ya vuna, para walije kanthu.*+
5 Maghanoghano* mu mtima wa munthu ghali nga ni maji ghakunyang’amira,
Kweni munthu waumanyi watekengepo.
6 Ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakupharazga lusungu* lwawo,
Kweni ni njani wangasanga munthu wakugomezgeka?
7 Munthu murunji wakwenda mu kunyoloka kwake.+
Mbakukondwa ŵana ŵake awo ŵakumulondezga.+
12 Khutu ilo likupulika na jiso ilo likulaŵiska
—Vyose viŵiri wali kuvipanga ni Yehova.+
13 Ungatemwanga tulo yayi, mwakuti uleke kukavuka.+
Banura maso ghako, ndipo ukhutenge chingwa.+
14 Uyo wakugura wakuti, “ntchiwemi yayi, ntchiwemi yayi!”
Mbwenu wakuluta na kwamba kujithumbwa.+
16 Torani chakuvwara cha munthu usange wimira mulendo pa ngongoli,+
Mupoke chikholi kwa iyo usange wimira mwanakazi wachilendo.*+
17 Chingwa icho chasangikira mu utesi ntchakunowa kwa munthu,
Kweni pamanyuma mu mulomo wake muzurenge tumasangalawe.+
19 Munthu wakusesa wakwendendeka na kuvumbura vinthu vya kuudesi,+
Ungendezgananga nayo yayi uyo ni mwendanato.*
20 Yose uyo wakutemba awiske na anyina,
Nyali yake yizimwikenge para chisi chafika.+
21 Chiharo icho pakwamba chapokeka mu umbunu,
Chiŵenge thumbiko yayi paumaliro.+
22 Ungayowoyanga yayi kuti: “Niwezgerenge uheni!”+
Gomezga Yehova,+ ndipo wakuponoskenge.+
23 Malibwe* ghakupimira ghakupusika, mbukazuzi kwa Yehova,
Ndipo sikelo yakupusika njiwemi yayi.
25 Ntchipingo kwa munthu kuchimbilira kuyowoya kuti: “Ntchituŵa!”+
Kweni pamanyuma ndipo wakwamba kusanda ivyo walapa.+
27 Mvuchi wa munthu ni nyali ya Yehova,
Ukusandasanda mukati mwake mose.
30 Vikomokomo na mabamba vikukakatura uheni,+
Ndipo maluswazu ghakutozga mukati mwa munthu.
