7 “Asani munthu wagulisa mwana waki munthukazi kuti waje kapolu, mwana yo wazamufwatulika nge mo kapolu munthulumi wafwatulikiya cha.
8 Asani mbuyaki wakondwa nayu cha ndipu wamuto cha kuti waje mbilika,* kweni wakhumba kuti waguliki ndi munthu munyaki,* wakhumbika cha kumugulisa ku mulendu, pakuti wamuchitiya chinyengu.
9 Asani wamupereka ku mwana waki kuti wamuto, watenere kumuwona nge mwana waki munthukazi.

11 Asani waleka kumupaska vinthu vitatu venivi, mbwenu wazamufwatulika kwambula kulipira ndalama yeyosi.
12 “Weyosi yo wapuma munyaki mpaka kumubaya, nayu watenere kubayika.+
13 Kweni asani wamubayiya dala cha, ndipu Chiuta wauneneska wazomereza kuti vichitiki, ndazakukunozgiyani malu ngakuti wangathaŵiyaku.+
14 Asani munthu wakwiyiya ukongwa munyaki mpaka kumubayiya dala,+ nayu watenere kubayika chinanga kuti wangathaŵiya kuguŵa la sembi.+

20 “Asani munthu wapuma kapolu waki munthulumi pamwenga kapolu waki munthukazi ndi nthonga, ndipu wamubaya, munthu yo watenere kulangika.+
21 Kweni asani kapolu yo waja ndi umoyu kwa zuŵa limoza pamwenga ngaŵi kutuliya po wangumupumiya, mbuyaki wangalangikanga cha, chifukwa wakumugula ndi ndalama zaki.
22 “Asani anthulumi apumana ndipu apweteka munthukazi wanthumbu, ndipu wabala mwana muteta*+ kweni palivi yo wafwa,* munthulumi yo wapweteka munthukazi, walipiri mwakukoliyana ndi vo mulumu wa munthukazi yo wakamba. Ndipu malipiru ngo wakangapereke kwa akweruzga.+
23 Kweni asani pafwa munthu, wapereki umoyu kulipa umoyu,+
24 ndipuso asani munthu wamupweteka ukongwa munyaki, wapereki jisu kulipa jisu, jinu kulipa jinu, janja kulipa janja, phazi kulipa phazi,+
25 kotcha kulipa kotcha, chilonda kulipa chilonda, fayiti kulipa fayiti.
26 “Asani munthu wapuma jisu la kapolu waki munthulumi pamwenga munthukazi ndipu walituluwa, wamufwatuwi kuti walutengi chifukwa walipira jisu laki.+
27 Ndipu asani wagontho jinu la kapolu waki munthulumi pamwenga kapolu waki munthukazi, wamufwatuwi kuti walutengi chifukwa walipira jinu laki.
28 “Asani ng’ombi yavwinkhuwa munthulumi pamwenga munthukazi ndipu munthu yo wafwa, ng’ombi yo ayiponyi ndi mya mpaka yifwi+ ndipu nyama yaki yingaryikanga cha; kweni mweneku wa ng’ombi yo wangalangikanga cha.
29 Kweni asani ng’ombi yenga ndi kalusu kakuvwinkhuwa ŵanthu, ndipu mweneku wangutcheŵeskekapu kweni wayiphweriyanga cha, ndipu yabaya munthulumi pamwenga munthukazi, ng’ombi yo, ayiponyi ndi mya ndipu mweneku nayu wabayiki.
30 Asani mweneku wa ng’ombi yo, walamulika kuti wapereki chakuwombole ndi chilatu chakuti waleki kubayika, mbwenu wapereki malipiru ngo amulangiya.
31 Kwali ng’ombi yavwinkhuwa mwana munthulumi pamwenga munthukazi, mweneku wa ng’ombi yo, watenere so kulonde cheruzgu chenichi.
32 Asani ng’ombi yavwinkhuwa kapolu munthulumi pamwenga munthukazi, mweneku wa ng’ombi yo, wapereki masekeli* 30 ku mweneku wa kapolu yo, ndipu ng’ombi yo yiponyeki mya mpaka yifwi.
33 “Asani munthu wabenuwa mbuna pamwenga wakumba mbuna ndi kuyileka mwazi, ndipu ng’ombi pamwenga bulu wawiyamu,
34 mweneku wa mbuna yo, walipiri.+ Watenere kulipira ku mweneku wa chiŵetu cho, ndipu chiŵetu chakufwa chijengi chaki.
35 Asani ng’ombi yinyaki yapweteka ng’ombi ya munthu munyaki, ndipu ng’ombi yo yafwa, mbwenu agulisi ng’ombi yamoyu, ndipu ndalama zaki agaŵani. Yiwu agaŵani so ng’ombi yo yafwa.
36 Ndipu asani ng’ombi yo yaziŵikanga kuti yenga ndi kalusu kakuvwinkhuwa zinyaki, kweni mweneku wayiphweriyanga cha, wapereki ng’ombi kulipa ng’ombi, ndipu ng’ombi yakufwa yijengi yaki.
