2 Pamene anthu oyipa abwera kudzalimbana nane

3 Ngakhale gulu lankhondo lindizinge,

5 Pakuti pa tsiku la msautso

Nkhope yanu Yehova ndidzayifunafuna.
9 Musandibisire nkhope yanu,

10 Ngakhale abambo ndi amayi anga anditaya

11 Phunzitseni njira yanu Inu Yehova,

10 Kodi sitili naye Atate mmodzi tonsefe? Kodi anatilenga si Mulungu mmodzi? Chifukwa chiyani tikudetsa pangano la makolo athu posamakhulupirirana wina ndi mnzake?
11 Yuda waleka kukhulupirika. Chinthu chonyansa chachitika mu Israeli ndi mu Yerusalemu: Yuda wayipitsa malo opatulika amene Yehova amawakonda, pokwatira mkazi wopembedza mulungu wachilendo. 12 Ndipo wina aliyense wochita zimenezi, kaya munthuyo ndi wotani, Yehova amuchotse ku banja la Yakobo, ngakhale atabweretsa zopereka kwa Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
13 China chimene mumachita ndi ichi: Mumakhathamiritsa guwa lansembe la Yehova ndi misozi. Mumalira ndi kufuwula kwambiri chifukwa Iye amakana kuyangʼana nsembe zanu, kapena kulandira mokondwera nsembe za mʼmanja mwanu. 14 Inu mukufunsa kuti, “Chifukwa chake nʼchiyani?” Chifukwa chake nʼchakuti Yehova ndi mboni ya pangano limene unachita ndi mkazi wa unyamata wako, chifukwa sunakhulupirike kwa iye, ngakhale kuti iyeyo ndiye mnzako, ndi mkazi wako mwapangano.

16 Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli akuti, “Ndimadana ndi kulekana ukwati. Ndimadana ndi munthu wochita zankhanza zotere kwa mkazi wake,” akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
Choncho tetezani mzimu wanu, ndipo musakhale osakhulupirika.

3 Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, “Ine ndidzatuma mthenga wanga amene adzakonza njira pamaso panga. Kenaka mwadzidzidzi Ambuye amene mukumufunafuna adzafika ku Nyumba yake. Mthenga wapangano amene mukumuyembekezera adzabwera.”
