Yobu
16 Yobu wakazgora kuti:
2 “Napulika kale vinthu vinandi vyanthena ivi.
Mose ndimwe ŵasanguluski ŵakusuzga!+
3 Kasi mazgu ghawakawaka ghamalenge yayi?
Kasi chakujokora ntchivichi kuti uzgore nthena?
4 Naneso ningayowoya nga ndimwe.
Umoyo winu uŵenge apo pali umoyo wane,
Mphanyi nayowoya mazgu ghakukopa kususkana namwe,
Na kumupukunyirani mutu.+
5 Kweni ine mphanyi namukhozgani na mazgu gha mu mulomo wane,
Ndipo chipembuzgo cha milomo yane mphanyi chamupozgani.+
6 Para nkhuyowoya, vyakuŵinya vyane vikumara chara,+
Ndipo usange naleka kuyowoya, kasi vyakuŵinya vyane vikuchepa wuli?
7 Kweni sono Chiuta wanivuska,+
Wapankhura ŵamunyumba yane wose.
8 Mukunikoraso, ndipo uwu waŵa ukaboni,
Mwakuti kughanda kwane kwaniwukira na kunipanikizgira pamaso pane.
9 Ukali wake wanitwazura, ndipo wanisungira chigwinini.+
Wakunimemenera mino ghake.
Mulwani wane wakunilasa na maso ghake.+
10 Ŵaniyasamira milomo yawo kwimikana nane,+
Ŵanitimba pa thama kunikhozga soni,
Ŵawungana ŵanandinandi kwimikana nane.+
11 Chiuta wanipeleka ku ŵasepuka,
Waniponya mu mawoko gha muheni.+
12 Nkhafwasanga, kweni wakanitekenyura,+
Wakanikora kumanyuma kwa singo na kunibwaska,
Ndipo wanizgora chakuponyapo mivi yake.
13 Ŵakuponya mivi ŵake ŵanizingilizga,+
Wakulasa ziso*+ zane kwambura chitima,
Wakupungulira pasi ndulu* yane.
14 Wakunigumura apa na apa nga ntchiliŵa,
Wakuniskera nga ntchinkhara cha nkhondo.
16 Chisko chane chachesama chifukwa cha kulira,+
Ndipo pa vikopi vyane pali mdima ukuru,*
17 Nangauli mawoko ghane ghandachitepo nkhaza,
Ndipo lurombo lwane ndutuŵa.
18 Charu we! Ungawundiranga ndopa zane chara.+
Ndipo kulira kwane kuleke kusanga malo ghakupumulirapo.
19 Nanga ni sono, kaboni wane wali kuchanya,
Uyo wanganiyimira wali kuchanya.
21 Zomerezgani kuti munyake weruzge pakati pa munthu na Chiuta,
Nga umo munyake wangeruzgira pakati pa munthu na munthu munyake.+
