36 Eliyu apitiriza kulonga:
2 “Pirirani pang’ono mu ndzidzi unafokotoza ine,
Thangwi ndiciri na mafala toera kualonga mu dzina ya Mulungu.
3 Ndinalonga pyonsene pinadziwa ine,
Ndinalonga kuti ulungami ndi wa Ule adandicita.+
4 Mwandimomwene, mafala anga nee ndi authambi;
Ule wakuti asadziwa+ pyonsene ali patsogolo panu.
5 Inde, Mulungu ndi wamphambvu,+ pontho iye nkhabe kukhonda munthu;
Iye ali na udziwisi ukulu kakamwe.
7 Iye nkhabe siya kuyang’ana anthu akulungama;+
Anadzaakhazika m’mipando yaumambo pabodzi na amambo,*+ iwo mbakuzwa kwenda na kwenda.
8 Mbwenye iwo angamangwa na maunyolo,
Mbamangwambo na nkhambala za nyatwa,
9 Iye anaapangiza pidacita iwo,
Madawo adacita iwo thangwi yakudzikuza kwawo.
10 Iye asafungula makutu awo toera kualanga,
Mbaapanga kuti asiye kucita pinthu pyakuipa.+
11 Iwo angambvera, mbantumikira,
Anadzakhala mwadidi,
Pontho umaso wawo unadzakhala wakutsandzayisa.+
12 Mbwenye angakhonda kubvera, iwo anaphiwa na supada,+
Iwo nee anakhala na cidziwiso mpaka kufa kwawo.
13 Ale akuti ali na ntima wakuipa, anadzakoya kuipirwa muntima.
Iwo nkhabe khuwa toera kuphemba ciphedzo, ngakhale angamangwa naye.
15 Mbwenye Mulungu asapulumusa anyakuthabuka mu ndzidzi unaona iwo nyatwa;
Iye asaafungula makutu angathabuswa.
16 Iye asakubulusani mu nyatwa,+
Mbakuendesani pa mbuto ikulu, yakuti nee munapfinyika,+
Yakuti munadzabalangazwa na cakudya cadidi pameza panu.+
17 Penepo munadzatsandzaya na kutongwa kwa anyakuipa,+
Kutongwa kungacitwa, ulungami mbutsidzikizwa.
18 Mbwenye citani mphole-mphole toera kuipirwa kukhonde kukucitisani pinthu mwabibvu,*+
Pontho lekani kutawira kupeuswa na ntengo ukulu wakudyekerwa nawo.
19 Kodi kukhuwa kwanu toera kuphemba ciphedzo,
Peno kuwangisira kwanu kukulu kunakupulumusani mu nyatwa?+
20 Lekani kufuna kakamwe kuti kunja kudoke,
Mu ndzidzi wakuti anthu asazambazika mu mbuto zawo.
21 Citani mphole-mphole toera mukhonde kubwerera ku pinthu pyakuipa,
Thangwi yakusankhula pinthu pyakuipa, tayu kupirira nyatwa.+
22 Mulungu asakuzwa thangwi ya mphambvu zace;
Ndi mpfundzisi upi unango adalandana na iye?
23 Mbani adantsogolera mu pinthu pidacita iye,+
Peno adampanga kuti: ‘Pinthu pidacita iwe mphyakuipa’?+
25 Anthu onsene asapiona;
Iwo asapiyang’ana nakutali.
27 Iye asakwewera kudzulu mathoto a madzi;+
Mathoto anewa asaphatana mbakhala madzi toera kubvumba;
28 Buluka penepo, makole asaabvumbisa pantsi;+
Mbaawazira anthu.
29 Kodi alipo munthu anabvesesa kuti makole asacitwa tani,
30 Onani kuti iye asacetumisa+ tani padzulu pa makole,
Mbaphimbira na madzi bara yakuzika.
31 Na pinthu pyenepi, iye asadyesa anthu;
Iye asaapasa pyakudya pizinji.+
32 Na manja ace, iye asaphimbira kucetuma,
Pontho kucetuma kweneku asakuendesa pa mbuto inafuna iye.+
33 Kudhima kwace kusadziwisa thangwi ya iye,
Ngakhale nkumbi wa pifuyo usadziwisa kuti mbani ali* kubwera.
