2 “Pangani abale anu kuti: ‘Imwe ndimwe mbumba yanga!’*+
Pontho pangani anakazi anu kuti: ‘Imwe ndimwe akazi akubverwa ntsisi!’*+
2 Pambizirani mai wanu; mpambizireni,
Thangwi iye si nkazanga tayu,+ pontho ine sine mamunace tayu.
Iye asafunika kusiya ulukwali* unacita iye,
Pontho nee asafunikabve kucita upombo,
3 Angakhonda kucita pyenepi, ndinadzanʼdula nguwo mbandinsiya cipezipezi ninga ntsiku idabalwa iye,
Ndinadzancitisa kukhala thando,
Ndinadzancitisa kukhala mbuto yakusowa madzi,
Pontho ndinadzancitisa kuti afe na nyota.
4 Pontho nee ndinadzabvera ntsisi anace,
Thangwi iwo ndi ana aulukwali.*
Ule adaabala acita pinthu pyakupasa manyadzo,+ thangwi iye alonga:
6 Natenepa ndinadzafunga njira yace na mpanda wa minga;
Pontho ine ndinadzamanga mpanda wa miyala
Toera iye akhonde kuona njira yace.
7 Iye anadzathamangira amunace, mbwenye nee anadzaaphata;+
Iye anadzaasaka, mbwenye nee anadzaaona.
Buluka penepo iye analonga: ‘Ndinabwerera pyanga kuna mamunanga wakutoma,+
Thangwi ndzidzi uneule ine ndikhali mwadidi kupiringana cincino.’+
8 Iye nee adzindikira kuti ndine akhampasa tirigu,+ vinyu ipswa na mafuta,
Pontho ndine adampasa parata izinji,
Na ouro, ire idaphatisira iwo toera kulambira Bhaale.+
9 ‘Natenepa, ine ndinadzabwera mbandinkwatira tirigu yanga mu ndzidzi wakubvuna,+
Ndinadzampokosera vinyu yanga yakutapira mu ndzidzi wakucita vinyu,
Pontho ndinampokosera nguwo zanga zinabvala iye toera kubisa ucipezipezi wace.
10 Cincino ine ndinanʼdula nguwo toera amuna ananfuna amuone pezi,
Pontho nkhabe mamuna anafuna kumuombola mʼmanja mwanga.+
11 Ine ndinadzamalisa kutsandzaya kwace konsene,
Ndinadzamalisa maphwando ace,+ maphwando ace akubalwa kwa mwezi, maphwando ace akukumbuka Masabudu na maphwando ace anango onsene.
12 Ine ndinadzafudza miti yace ya mauva na miti yace ya misambvu, ire ikhalonga iye kuti:
“Iyi ndi miti idalipwa ine, idapaswa ine na amuna anandifuna”;
Mbwenye ine ndinadzacitisa miti ineyi kukhala nsitu ukulu,
Pontho iyo inadzafudzwa na pinyama pya ntsanga.
13 Ine ndinadzantcunyusa thangwi ya ntsiku zidapereka iye ntsembe kuna madzimunthu a Bhaale,+
Mu ndzidzi ukhabvala iye mphete zace na pyakubalikisa napyo mbatowera amuna akhanfuna,
Mbwenye ine akhadandiduwala,’+ alonga Yahova.
14 ‘Natenepa ine ndinadzantundusa,
Mbandimuendesa kuthando,
Pontho ndinadzalonga mafala akuti anadzakhuya ntima wace.
15 Buluka penepo, ine ndinadzamʼbwezera miti yace ya mauva,+
Pontho Gowa ya Akori+ inadzakhala ninga nsuwo ukulu wa cidikhiro kuna iye;
Iye anadzanditawira ninga pikhacita iye mu ndzidzi ukhali iye ntsikana,
Ninga ntsiku idabuluka iye mu dziko ya Ejitu.’+
16 Yahova alonga: ‘Pa ntsiku ineyi,
Iwe unadzandicemera Mamunanga, pontho nee unadzandicemerabve Mbuyanga.’*
17 ‘Ine ndinadzabulusa pamulomo pace madzina a madzimunthu a Bhaale,+
Pontho madzina awo nee anadzakumbukirwabve.+
18 Pa ntsiku ineyi ndinadzacita cibverano na pinyama pya ntsanga thangwi ya iwo,+
Pontho ndinadzacita cibverano na mbalame zakudzulu na pinyama pyakufamba na mimba;+
Ine ndinadzamalisa mauta, masupada na nkhondo mu dziko ineyi,+
Pontho ine ndinadzacitisa mbumba yanga kukhala yakutsidzikizika.+
19 Ine ndinadzakukwata toera ukhale mankhadzi wanga kwenda na kwenda;
Pontho ine ndinadzakukwata toera ukhale mankhadzi wanga mwakubverana na udidi na ulungami wanga,
Na ufuni wanga wakukhonda mala, pontho mwakubverana na ntsisi zanga.+
20 Ine ndinadzakukwata ninga mankhadzi wanga mwakukhulupirika,
Ine ndine Yahova, pontho mwandimomwene iwe unadzandidziwa.’+
21 ‘Pa ntsiku ineyi,’ alonga Yahova,
‘Ine ndinadzacita pidaphemba kudzulu,
Pontho kudzulu kunadzacita pidaphemba dziko yapantsi;+
22 Dziko yapantsi inadzacita pinaphemba mbeu, pinaphemba vinyu yakutapira na pinaphemba mafuta;
23 Ine ndinadzabzwala Yezrieli pa dziko yapantsi ninga mbeu zanga,+
Ine ndinadzabvera ntsisi Yezrieli wakuti nee akhabverwa ntsisi;*
Ine ndinadzapanga ale akuti nee ndi a mbumba yanga* kuti: “Imwe ndimwe mbumba yanga,”+
Pontho iwo anadzalonga: “Imwe ndimwe Mulungu wathu.”’”+
