22 Kuli chenene kusagula lina* lyambone kulekangana ni chipanje chejinji.
Kupochela uchimbichimbi kuli kwambone kupunda silifa ni golide.
2 Ŵakusichila soni ŵakulaga ali ŵakulandana pa chindu chimo achi:
Wosopewo Yehofa ni juŵapanganyisye.

Nambo jwangamanyilila yindu akusagamba kupelenganya mwamti akusasimana ni yakusawusya.
4 Yakuyichisya ya kulinandiya soni kumjogopa Yehofa

5 Miŵa soni yitega yili palitala lya mundu jwachinyengo,
Nambo jwalijose jwakusawuwona umi wakwe kuŵa wakusosekwa akusayiŵambala yindu yeleyi.
6 Mumjiganyeje mwanache litala lyakusosekwa kuti ajendeje.
Mwamti atamose ali akusile ngasatyoka mu lyele litalalyo.
7 Jwakusichila akusamlamulila jwakulaga,
Soni jwakwasima akusaŵa kapolo kwa jwakwasimisya.
8 Jwalijose jwakusapanda yindu yangali chilungamo chachigowola yakogoya,
Soni ndodo ja ukali wakwe jichimala.
9 Mundu jwakupeleka chachipochela upile,
Ligongo akusiŵagaŵila yakulya yakwe ŵandu ŵakulaga.

Ukangani soni kunyosya yichityoka.
11 Mundu jwakwete mtima wambone soni jwakusaŵecheta maloŵe gambone
Chachiŵa mjakwe jwa mwenye.
12 Meso ga Yehofa gakusakuchenjela kumanyilila yindu,
Nambo jwalakwe akusagajonaga maloŵe ga ŵandu ŵachinyengo.
13 Jwaulesi akusati, “Kusako kwana lisimba!
Chilimbulaje une ndili pakatikati pa luŵala lwa msinda.”
14 Pakamwa pa jwamkongwe jwakusakala* pali mpela lisimbo lyesokoche.
Mundu jwele Yehofa akusamŵenga chachigwila mwelemo.
15 Uchisilu ukusagumbala mumtima mwa mwanache,
Nambo chikoti chakwamuchila chikusatyosya uchisiluwo mumtima mwakwemo.
16 Mundu jwakusamtenda chipongwe mundu jwakulaga pakusaka konjechesya chipanje chakwe,
Soni jwakusapeleka mituka kwa mundu jwakusichila
Mbesi jakwe jichiŵa kulaga.
17 Mtejele liwiwi lyenu ni kupikanila maloŵe ga ŵandu ŵalunda,
Ni chakulinga chakuti myisunje mumtima mwenu yindu yangusamjiganya,
18 Pakuŵa yili yakusangalasya kuti mgasunje mumtima mwenu,
Pelepo maloŵe gelega gachiŵa pakamwa penu ndaŵi syosope.
19 Ngumpa lelo lunda,

20 Ana une nganinamlembela kala jemanja,
Yindu yakumjamuka soni yakumkamuchisya kumanyilila yindu,
21 Kuti namjiganye yisyesyene soni maloŵe gakudalilichika,
Ni chakulinga chakuti mwuje ni utenga wakulondola kwa mundu juŵamtumile mmwejo?
22 Mkamjiŵila mundu pakumwona kuti ali jwakulaga,

23 Pakuŵa Yehofa chachachenjela jemanjajo pamagambo gawo,
Soni jwalakwe chachityosya umi wa ŵandu ŵakwatenda chipongwe jemanjajo.
24 Mkasyoŵekana ni mundu jwakwanguya kupya mtima
Kapena kukamulana ni mundu jwakutumbila mwachitema,
25 Kuti mkalijiganya matala gakwe
Ni kulitanjisya.
26 Mkaŵa m’gulu ja ŵandu ŵakusakamulana mkono pakutenda mkamulano,
Ŵakusapeleka chikole pakukongola yindu.
27 Naga nganimkola chakuti mwusye,
Chachijigala bedi jenu jamkusagonela.
28 Mkasejesyaga malile ga malo gakalakala
Gele achinangolo ŵenu ŵaŵisile.
29 Ana mum’weni mundu jwakumanyilila chenene masengo gakwe?
Jwalakwe chachijima pameso pa mamwenye.
Ngasajima pameso pa ŵandu wamba.
