17 “Mzimu wane waphyoka, mazuŵa ghane ghazimwika,

Malaro ghakunilindilira.+

 2 Ŵakugoska ŵaniwungilira,+

Ndipo jiso lane likudodoliska* nkharo yawo yakugaluka.

 4 Pakuti mwajara mtima wawo kuti uleke kuŵa na mahara.+

Lekani mukuŵakwezga chara.

 5 Wangagaŵirako ŵabwezi ŵake,

Kweni maso gha ŵana ŵake ghafwenge.

 6 Wanizgora chakuhoyeka* pakati pa ŵanthu,+

Mwakuti naŵa munthu uyo ŵakumufunyira mata kumaso.+

 7 Jiso lane lachita chisi chifukwa cha vyakuŵinya,+

Viŵaro vyane vyose vili nga ni mzgezge.

 8 Ŵanthu ŵakunyoloka ŵati waka pwaza,

Ndipo wambura mulandu watimbanizgika chifukwa cha ŵambura kopa Chiuta.*

 9 Murunji wakudemelera ku nthowa yake,+

Ndipo uyo wali na mawoko ghatuŵa wakukura mu nkhongono.+

10 Kweni mose mungiza na kwambiraso kunisuska,

Pakuti nindasangepo na yumoza uyo ngwavinjeru pakati pinu.+

11 Mazuŵa ghane ghamara,+

Ivyo naghanaghananga na ivyo mtima wane wakhumbanga vyagota.+

12 Ŵakulutilira kuzgora usiku kuŵa muhanya,

Ŵakuti, ‘Ungweru uli pafupi chifukwa kuli mdima.’

13 Usange ningalindizga, Dindi* liŵenge nyumba yane.+

Namutandika bedi lane mu mdima.+

16 Chikhilirenge ku Dindi* la vipata vya mphingilizgo,

Pa nyengo iyo tose tikhilirenge lumoza ku fuvu.”+
