18 Munthu anapambulika pakati pa anango asasaka kucita pinafuna iye basi;
Iye asakhonda* udziwisi onsene wakuti usaphedza.
2 Dzemwa nee asakomerwa na kubvesesa pinthu;
Mbwenye asasankhula pyace kulonga pakweca piri muntima mwace.+
3 Kupwaza kusabwera na anthu akuipa,
Kupasika manyadzo kusabwera pabodzi na kupwazwa.+
4 Mafala a pamulomo wa munthu ndi ninga madzi akuzika.+
Ncera waudziwisi ndi ninga nkulo unadzala mbutayikira.
5 Si pyadidi tayu kupangiza tsankhulo toera kuphedzera munthu wakuipa,+
Peno kutonga munthu wakulungama munjira yakukhonda kulungama.+
6 Mafala a dzemwa asasosesa nthonga,+
Pontho mulomo wace usacitisa kuti anthu anango afune kumʼmenya.+
7 Munthu wakusowa ndzeru asaona nyatwa thangwi ya mulomo wace,+
Pontho mafalace asaikha umaso wace pangozwi.
8 Mafala a munthu analonga ndzace mwakuipa* ndi ninga cakudya cakukoma;+
Iwo asamezwa mwakucimbiza mbaenda mʼmimba.+
9 Munthu wakupolola mʼbasa yace,

10 Dzina ya Yahova ndi mbuto yadidi yakubisalira.*+
Nyakulungama asathawira mwenemu, mbatambira citsidzikizo.*+
11 Mpfuma ya munthu wakupfuma ndi ninga nzinda wace wakuwanga;
Mʼmanyerezero ace mpfuma ineyi asaiona ninga mpanda wacitsidzikizo.+
14 Munthu wakutsandzaya muntima anakwanisa kupirira utenda wace,+
15 Ntima wa munthu waluso yakubvesesa usasaka cidziwiso,+
Pontho makutu a anthu audziwisi asasaka cidziwiso.
16 Muoni usafungulira njira* ule anaupereka;+
Pontho usamʼphedza toera kufika kuna anthu akufunika kakamwe.
17 Munthu angatoma kulonga nseru wace asaoneka ninga wakusowa mulando,+
18 Kusaka citsogolero ca Mulungu kusamalisa kuketesana,+
Mbakumalisa nseru pakati pa* anthu amphambvu.
19 Pisanentsa kakamwe kukomeresa mʼbale adaipisirwa, kupiringana kukunda nzinda wakuwanga,+
Kuketesana kunango kusakhala ninga mipiringanyo ya misuwo ya mipanda ya nzinda.+
20 Munthu anadzadza mimba yace na misapo ya mafalace;+
Iye anadzakhuta na pinabuluka pamulomo pace.
21 Lirimi iri na mphambvu yakupha na yakupasa umaso;*+
Ale anakomerwa na kuphatisira lirimi anadzadya misapo yace.+
23 Nyakutcerenga asadembetera pakulonga,
Mbwenye nyakupfuma asatawira mwaukali.
