Zintharika 18:1-24
18 Uyo wakujipatura wakulondezga makhumbiro ghake.Wakukana* vinjeru vyose.
2 Munthu muzeleza wakukhumba yayi kupulikiska vinthu,Kweni wakukhumba kuvumbura waka ivyo vili mu mtima wake.+
3 Para munthu muheni wiza, muyuyuro nawo ukwiza,Ndipo pamoza na soni pali msinjiro.+
4 Mazgu mu mulomo wa munthu ni maji ghakunyang’amira.+
Chisimi cha vinjeru nkhamlonga kakufuluka.
5 Ntchiwemi yayi kutemwera muheni,+Panji kumukanira murunji weruzgi wakunyoloka.+
6 Kayowoyero ka muzeleza kakwambiska mbembe,+Mulomo wake ukukhumba kutimbika.+
7 Mulomo wa muzeleza ukumuparanya,+Ndipo milomo yake ntchipingo ku umoyo wake.
8 Mazgu gha wakusesa ghali nga ni vyakurya vyakunowa,*+Ghakumilika m’paka mu nthumbo mukati.+
9 Yose uyo ni mukata pa mulimo wakeNi mubali wa uyo wakuparanya.+
10 Zina la Yehova ntchigongwe chakukhora.+
Murunji wakuchimbilira kwenekuko na kuvikilirika.*+
11 Chuma cha munthu musambazi ni msumba wake wakukhora,Wakuchiwona nga ntchiliŵa chakumuvikilira.+
12 Pambere pharanyiko lindafike mtima wa munthu ukujituntha,+Ndipo pambere uchindami undafike pali kujiyuyura.+
13 Usange munthu wakuzgora nkhani pambere wandayipulikiske,Mbuchindere na soni.+
14 Mzimu wa munthu ungamovwira mu ulwari,+Kweni ni njani wanganyamura mzimu wakuteketeka?*+
15 Mtima wa munthu wakupulikiska ukumanya vinthu,+Ndipo khutu la wavinjeru likukhumba kumanya vinthu.
16 Chawanangwa cha munthu chikumusengulira nthowa,+Chikumovwira kuti wafike ku ŵanthu ŵakuzirwa.
17 Uyo wamba kuyowoya pa mulandu wakuwoneka murunji,+M’paka munthu munyake wize na kumufumba mafumbo.+
18 Mphenduzga* zikumazga mphindano,+Ndipo zikudumura mulandu pakati pa* awo ŵakupindikana.
19 Mubali uyo wabudirika wakuthera luŵiro chara kuluska msumba wakukhora,+Ndipo pali mphindano izo zili nga ni mphingilizgo zakujalira linga.+
20 Nthumbo ya munthu yikhutenge na chipambi cha mulomo wake.*+Wakhorwenge na vipambi vya milomo yake.
21 Nyifwa na umoyo vili mu nkhongono ya lulimi,+Uyo wakulutemwa waryenge chipasi chake.+
22 Uyo wasanga muwoli muwemi wasanga chinthu chiwemi,+Ndipo wakutemweka na Yehova.+
23 Mukavu wakuŵeya pakuyowoya,Kweni musambazi wakuzgora mwaganyavu.*
24 Pali ŵabwezi awo mbakunozgeka kupwetekana,+Kweni pali mubwezi uyo wakudemelera kuluska mubali wako.+
