Salimo la Davide.
28 Kwa Inu ine ndiyitana, Yehova ndinu Thanthwe langa;
musakhale osamva kwa ine.
Pakuti mukapitirira kukhala chete,
ndidzakhala ngati iwo amene atsikira ku dzenje.
2 Imvani kupempha chifundo kwanga
pomwe ndikuyitana kwa Inu kuti mundithandize,
pomwe ndikukweza manja anga
kuloza ku malo anu oyeretsetsa.
3 Musandikokere kutali pamodzi ndi anthu oyipa,
pamodzi ndi iwo amene amachita zoyipa,
amene amayankhula mwachikondi ndi anzawo
koma akusunga chiwembu mʼmitima mwawo.
4 Muwabwezere chifukwa cha zochita zawo
ndi ntchito zawo zoyipa;
abwezereni chifuwa cha zimene manja awo achita
ndipo mubweretse pa iwo zimene zowayenera.
5 Popeza iwowo sakhudzidwa ndi ntchito za Yehova,
ndi zimene manja ake anazichita,
Iye adzawakhadzula
ndipo sadzawathandizanso.
6 Matamando apite kwa Yehova,
popeza Iye wamva kupempha chifundo kwanga.
7 Yehova ndiye mphamvu yanga ndi chishango changa;
mtima wanga umadalira Iye, ndipo Ine ndathandizidwa.
Mtima wanga umalumphalumpha chifukwa cha chimwemwe
ndipo ndidzayamika Iye mʼnyimbo.
8 Yehova ndi mphamvu ya anthu ake,
linga la chipulumutso kwa wodzozedwa wake.
9 Pulumutsani anthu anu ndipo mudalitse cholowa chanu;
mukhale mʼbusa wawo ndipo muwakweze kwamuyaya.

8 Iwo anayankha, “Tonse awiri talota maloto, koma palibe wotitanthauzira malotowo.”
Pamenepo Yosefe anawawuza kuti, “Ndi Mulungu yekha amene amapereka matanthauzo a maloto. Uzeni ine maloto anu.”
9 Choncho mkulu wa operekera zakumwa uja anamuwuza Yosefe maloto ake. Anati, “Mʼmaloto anga ndinaona mtengo wa mpesa, 10 unali ndi nthambi zitatu. Mpesawo utangophukira, unachita maluwa ndipo maphava ake anabereka mphesa zakupsa. 11 Chikho cha Farao chinali mʼmanja mwanga, ndipo ndinatenga mphesa, kupsinyira mu chikho cha Farao ndi kuchipereka mʼmanja mwake.”
12 Yosefe anati kwa iye, “Tanthauzo lake ndi ili: Nthambi zitatuzo ndi masiku atatu. 13 Pakangopita masiku atatu, Farao adzakutulutsa muno. Udzaperekera zakumwa kwa Farao monga momwe umachitira poyamba. 14 Koma zako zikakuyendera bwino, udzandikumbukire ndi kundikomera mtima. Chonde ukandipepesere kwa Farao kuti anditulutse muno. 15 Popezatu ine anangochita mondiba kubwera nane kuno kuchokera ku dziko la Ahebri, ndipo ngakhale kunoko, ine sindinalakwe kali konse kuti ndizipezeka mʼdzenje muno.”
16 Mkulu wa opanga buledi ataona kuti Yosefe wapereka tanthauzo labwino, anati kwa Yosefe, “Inenso ndinalota nditasenza nsengwa zitatu za buledi. 17 Mu nsengwa yapamwamba munali zakudya zamitundumitundu za Farao, koma mbalame zimadya zakudyazo.”
18 Yosefe anati, “Tanthauzo lake ndi ili: nsengwa zitatuzo ndi masiku atatu. 19 Pakangotha masiku atatu Farao adzakutulutsa muno koma adzakupachika. Ndipo mbalame zidzadya mnofu wako.”
20 Tsono tsiku lachitatulo linali lokumbukira kubadwa kwa Farao, ndipo anawakonzera phwando akuluakulu ake onse. Anatulutsa mʼndende mkulu wa operekera zakumwa ndi mkulu wa ophika buledi, ndipo anawayimiritsa pamaso pa nduna zake. 21 Tsono Farao anamubwezera mkulu wa operekera zakumwa uja pa udindo wake, kotero kuti anayamba kuperekeranso zakumwa kwa Farao, 22 koma mkulu wa ophika buledi anamupachika, mofanana ndi mmene Yosefe anatanthauzira maloto.
23 Koma mkulu wa operekera zakumwa uja sanamukumbukire Yosefe ndipo anamuyiwaliratu.
