29 Perekani kwa Yehova, inu anthu amphamvu,
perekani kwa Yehova ulemerero ndi mphamvu.
2 Perekani kwa Yehova ulemerero woyenera dzina lake,
pembedzani Yehova mwa kukongola kwa chiyero chake.
3 Liwu la Yehova lili pamwamba pa madzi;
Mulungu waulemerero abangula,
Yehova abangula pamwamba pa madzi amphamvu.
4 Liwu la Yehova ndi lamphamvu;
liwu la Yehova ndi laulemerero.
5 Liwu la Yehova limathyola mikungudza;

7 Liwu la Yehova limakantha

8 Liwu la Yehova limagwedeza chipululu;
Yehova amagwedeza chipululu cha Kadesi.
9 Liwu la Yehova limapindapinda mibawa

Ndipo mʼNyumba mwake onse amafuwula kuti, “Ulemerero!”
10 Yehova amakhala pamwamba pa madzi osefukira,
Yehova ndiye mfumu kwamuyaya.
11 Yehova amapereka mphamvu kwa anthu ake;
Yehova amadalitsa anthu ake ndi mtendere.

19 Apolo ali ku Korinto, Paulo anadutsa mʼmayiko a ku mtunda ndipo anafika ku Efeso. Kumeneko anapeza ophunzira ena. 2 Iye anawafunsa kuti, “Kodi munalandira Mzimu Woyera pamene munakhulupirira?”
Iwo anayankha kuti, “Ayi, ife sitinamvepo kuti kuli Mzimu Woyera.”
3 Tsono Paulo anawafunsa kuti, “Nanga munabatizidwa ndi ubatizo wotani?”
Iwo anati, “Ubatizo wa Yohane.”
4 Paulo anati, “Ubatizo wa Yohane unali wa kutembenuka mtima. Iye anawuza anthu kuti akhulupirire amene amabwera, ameneyo ndiye Yesu.” 5 Atamva zimenezi, anabatizidwa mʼdzina la Ambuye Yesu. 6 Pamene Paulo anawasanjika manja, Mzimu Woyera anadza pa iwo ndipo anayankhula mʼmalilime ndipo ananenera. 7 Anthu onsewo analipo khumi ndi awiri.
4 Ndipo Yohane anabwera mʼmadera a mʼchipululu nabatiza, ndi kulalikira za ubatizo wa kutembenuka mtima ndi wa chikhululukiro cha machimo. 5 Madera onse a ku Yudeya ndi anthu onse a ku Yerusalemu anatuluka napita kwa iye. Akavomereza machimo awo, amawabatiza mu mtsinje wa Yorodani. 6 Yohane amavala zovala zopangidwa ndi ubweya wangamira, ndi lamba wachikopa mʼchiwuno mwake, ndipo amadya dzombe ndi uchi wamthengo. 7 Ndipo uthenga wake unali uwu: “Pambuyo panga pakubwera wina wondiposa ine mphamvu. Ine si woyenera kuwerama ndi kumasula zingwe za nsapato zake. 8 Ine ndikubatizani ndi madzi, koma Iye adzakubatizani ndi Mzimu Woyera.”
