2 Gawana pinthu pyako na anthu anomwe peno asere,+ thangwi iwe nkhabe kudziwa kuti ndi cidengwa cipi cinafuna kucitika pa dziko yapantsi.
3 Makole angalemerwa na madzi, iwo asabvumbisa madzi pa dziko yapantsi; pontho khala muti wagwera kunterero peno kunkwiriro, unapitiriza penepo pa mbuto idagwera iwo.
4 Ule anayangʼana* mphepo nee anabzwala mbeu, pontho ule anayangʼana* makole nee anabvuna.+
5 Ninga iwe nkhabe dziwa kuti mphambvu ya umaso* isaphata tani basa mʼmagogodo a mwana wakuti ali mʼmimba mwa mai wace,+ iwe nee usadziwambo mabasa a Mulungu wandimomwene anacita pinthu pyonsene.+
6 Bzwala mbeu yako namacibese, pontho leka kupumisa manja ako mpaka dzuwa kudoka;+ thangwi iwe nee usadziwa kuti ndi mbeu ipi inafuna kukula mwadidi, khala ndi iyi peno ire, peno ziwiri zene zinakula mwadidi.
7 Ceza ndi cadidi, pontho mphyadidi kuti maso aone ceza ca dzuwa.
8 Munthu angakhala na umaso mu pyaka pizinji, mbatsandzaye ntsiku zonsene.+ Mbwenye iye asafunika kukumbuka kuti ntsiku za nyatwa* panango zinakhala zizinji; pyonsene pinafuna kucitika ndi pyakusowa basa.+
9 Mʼphale, tsandzaya mbuciri mʼphale, pontho ntima wako mbutsandzaye mu ntsiku za uphale wako. Toweza njira za ntima wako, pontho ndoko kunakutsogolera maso ako; mbwenye dziwa kuti Mulungu wandimomwene anadzakutonga thangwi ya pinthu pyenepi pyonsene.+
10 Natenepa, bulusa muntima mwako pinthu pinakudzudzumisa, pontho thawisa pinthu pyakuipa pa manungo pako, thangwi uphale na mphambvu ya uphale pinamala mwakucimbiza.*+
