“Ine ndine m’phale,
Imwe ndimwe ankhalamba.+
Na thangwi ineyi, mwacilemedzo ine ndapfulika pyanga,+
Nee ndayesera kukupangani pinadziwa ine.
7 Ine ndalonga ndekhene: ‘Siya akulu alonge,
Siya ale ali na pyaka pizinji alonge pinthu pinapangiza udziwisi.’
8 Mbwenye ndi nzimu wakucena uli muna anthu,
Muya wa Wamphambvu Zonsene, wakuti usaapasa luso yakubvesesa.+
9 Thunga basi nkhabe kucitisa munthu kukhala waudziwisi,
Pontho, si ankhalamba basi tayu anadziwa pinthu pyadidi.+
10 Natenepa, ine ndiri kulonga: ‘Ndibvesereni,
Ine ndinakupanganimbo pinadziwa ine.’
11 Onani! Ine ndadikhira kuti imwe mulonge;
Ine ndapitiriza kubvesera manyerezero anu,+
Mu ndzidzi ukhasaka imwe pyakulonga.+
12 Ine ndakubveserani mwadidi,
Mbwenye nee m’bodzi wa imwe akwanisa kupangiza kuti Yobe aphonyeka,*
Peno kupokanya pinalonga iye.
13 Natenepa, lekani kulonga kuti: ‘Tagumana udziwisi;
Ndi Mulungu anansandika, tayu munthu.’
14 Yobe nee alonga mafalace toera kuketesana na ine,
Natenepa, ine nee ndinantawira na mafala mabodzi ene ninga adantawira na imwe.
15 Iwo ali kugopa, mbasowa mafala toera kutawira;
Iwo nkhabebve cakulonga.
16 Ine ndisadikhira, mbwenye iwo asapitiriza kumatama;
Iwo ali dzololo penepo, mbasowa mafala toera kutawira.
17 Natenepa, inembo ndinatawira;
Ine ndinalongambo pinadziwa ine,
18 Thangwi ndiri na mafala mazinji toera kulonga;
Nzimu wakucena uli muna ine usandikulumiza toera kulonga.
19 Nkati mwanga ndine ninga vinyu yakuti nkhabe pakupuma napo,
Ninga mabudu a nthembe zipswa akuti asafuna kutumbuka.+
20 Ndisiyeni ndilonge toera ndikhurudzike!
Ndinafungula mulomo wanga, mbanditawira.
21 Nee ndinapangiza tsankhulo toera kuphedzera munthu;+
Pontho nee ndinasaka kukomeresa munthu mwaciphamaso,
22 Thangwi nee ndisadziwa kukomeresa munthu mwaciphamaso;
Mbidacita pyenepi, ule adandicita mbadandipha mwakucimbiza.
