26 Nga ntchiwuvi mu chihanya na vula mu nyengo ya vuna,

Ntchindi nazo zikumwenelera yayi munthu muzeleza.+

 2 Kayuni kakuchimbira kwambura chifukwa chara, kaŵeruŵeru nayo wakuduka pawaka chara,

Ntheura kwambura chifukwa cheneko, nthembo yingiza yayi.*

 3 Chikoti ntcha hachi, vyakukolera ni vya mbunda,+

Ndipo luswazu ndwa msana wa ŵazeleza.+

 4 Ungamuzgoranga chara muzeleza kuyana na uchindere wake,

Mwakuti uleke kuyana nayo.

 5 Muzeleza umuzgore kuyana na uchindere wake,

Mwakuti waleke kujiwona kuti ngwavinjeru.+

 6 Nga ni uyo wakumbyukutura malundi ghake na kujipweteka yekha,*

Ndimo waliri uyo wakuthura nkhani mu woko la muzeleza.

 7 Nga ni malundi ghakugontha* gha wakupendera,

 8 Kupeleka uchindami kwa muzeleza

Kuli nga nkhuŵika libwe mu chakuponyera malibwe.+

 9 Nga ni minga iyo yasangika mu woko la muloŵevu,

Ndimo yiliri ntharika mu mulomo wa ŵazeleza.

10 Nga ngwakuponya mivi uyo wakulasa bweka kuko,*

Ndimo waliri uyo wakulemba ntchito muzeleza panji mwendanthowa.

11 Nga ni ntcheŵe iyo yikuwelera ku mawukuzi ghake,

Muzeleza nayo wakuwerezga uchindere wake.+

13 Munthu mukata wakuti: “Mu nthowa muli mwana wa nkhalamu,

Nkhalamu yili mu luŵaza!”+

14 Vijaro vikuzgokera uku na uko pa vyakukhozgera vyake,*

Ndimo mukata wakuchitira pa bedi lake.+

15 Mukata wakubizga woko lake mu bakule,

Kweni wakuvuka kuti waliwezgere ku mulomo wake.+

16 Mukata wakujiwona kuti ngwavinjeru

Kuluska ŵanthu 7 awo ŵakuzgora mwamahara.

17 Nga ni uyo wakuguza makutu gha ntcheŵe

Ndimo waliri mwendanthowa uyo wakukwiya na* mbembe iyo njake chara.+

18 Nga ni munthu wakufuntha uyo wakuponya vilwero vyamoto, mivi, na nyifwa*

19 Ndimo waliri munthu uyo wakupusika mzengezgani wake na kuyowoya kuti: “Nasekangapo waka!”+

20 Para nkhuni palije, moto ukuzimwa,

Ndipo para palije wakusesa, mphindano zikumara.+

21 Nga ni makara ghakugolezgera moto na nkhuni zakusonkha ku moto,

Munthu wamphindano nayo wakusonkhezga mbembe.+

22 Mazgu gha wakusesa ghali nga ni vyakurya vyakunowa,*

Ghakumilika m’paka mu nthumbo mukati.+

23 Nga ni siliva ilo laphakika pa chiŵiya

Ndimo ghaliri mazgu ghachitemwa kufuma mu* mtima uheni.+

24 Uyo wakutinkha ŵanyake wakujibisa na milomo yake,

Kweni mukati mwake muli upusikizgi.

25 Nangauli wakuyowoya mazgu ghawemi, ungamugomezganga yayi,

Pakuti mu mtima wake muli vinthu vyaukazuzi 7.*

26 Nangauli thinkho lake labenekelereka na upusikizgi,

Uheni wake wamuvumbulikira mu mpingo.

27 Uyo wakujima mbuna wawengemo yekha,

Ndipo uyo wakukunkhuzga libwe, liwelerenge kwa iyo.+

28 Lulimi lutesi lukutinkha awo lwaŵatekenyura,

Ndipo mulomo wakumyamyatika ukuparanya.+
