Zintharika
2 Munthu muzeleza wakukhumba yayi kupulikiska vinthu,
Kweni wakukhumba kuvumbura waka ivyo vili mu mtima wake.+
3 Para munthu muheni wiza, muyuyuro nawo ukwiza,
Ndipo pamoza na soni pali msinjiro.+
4 Mazgu mu mulomo wa munthu ni maji ghakunyang’amira.+
Chisimi cha vinjeru nkhamlonga kakufuluka.
7 Mulomo wa muzeleza ukumuparanya,+
Ndipo milomo yake ntchipingo ku umoyo wake.
9 Yose uyo ni mukata pa mulimo wake
Ni mubali wa uyo wakuparanya.+
10 Zina la Yehova ntchigongwe chakukhora.+
Murunji wakuchimbilira kwenekuko na kuvikilirika.*+
12 Pambere pharanyiko lindafike mtima wa munthu ukujituntha,+
Ndipo pambere uchindami undafike pali kujiyuyura.+
15 Mtima wa munthu wakupulikiska ukumanya vinthu,+
Ndipo khutu la wavinjeru likukhumba kumanya vinthu.
16 Chawanangwa cha munthu chikumusengulira nthowa,+
Chikumovwira kuti wafike ku ŵanthu ŵakuzirwa.
17 Uyo wamba kuyowoya pa mulandu wakuwoneka murunji,+
M’paka munthu munyake wize na kumufumba mafumbo.+
19 Mubali uyo wabudirika wakuthera luŵiro chara kuluska msumba wakukhora,+
Ndipo pali mphindano izo zili nga ni mphingilizgo zakujalira linga.+
20 Nthumbo ya munthu yikhutenge na chipambi cha mulomo wake.*+
Wakhorwenge na vipambi vya milomo yake.
23 Mukavu wakuŵeya pakuyowoya,
Kweni musambazi wakuzgora mwaganyavu.*
