Kuitana kukupita kwa anthu opanda ndalama: bwerani mudzadye ndi kumwa kwaulere, lekani kulipira zinthu zosakhutitsa. Maganizo a Atate wathu ndi apamwamba kuposa awo, choncho chikhululukiro chake nchaulere kuposa mmene amayembekezera. Mawu ake, ngati mvula, sabwerera opanda kanthu.
55 1“Tamverani! Inu nonse amene muli ndi ludzu, bwerani ku madzi; inu amene mulibe ndalama, bwerani, gulani chakudya ndi kudya! Bwerani, gulani vinyo ndi mkaka popanda mtengo—kwaulere. 2Chifukwa chiyani mukuwononga ndalama pa chimene si chakudya, ndi ntchito yanu pa chimene sichikhutitsa? Mundimvetsetse, ndipo mudye chimene chili chabwino, ndipo moyo wanu udzasangalala ndi chakudya chonona. 3Tcherani makutu anu ndipo bwerani kwa Ine; mverani, kuti moyo wanu ukhale ndi moyo. Ndidzachita pangano losatha ndi inu, chikondi changa chokhulupirika chimene ndinalonjeza kwa Davide. a a v3 Paulo akugwira mawu a vesi ili mu Machitidwe 13:34 za kuuka kwa Yesu—pangano losatha la Atate wathu ndi Davide likukwaniritsidwa kwenikweni mwa Khristu amene anauka. 4Taonani, Ine ndamusankha kukhala mboni kwa mitundu ya anthu, mtsogoleri ndi mlamuli wa mitundu ya anthu. 5Ndithudi udzaitana mtundu wa anthu umene sudziwa, ndipo mtundu wa anthu umene sukudziwa udzathamangira kwa iwe, chifukwa cha Atate wako, Woyera wa Israeli, pakuti wakulemekeza iwe.”
6Funani Atate wathu pamene angapezeke; muitaneni pamene ali pafupi. 7Woyipa asiye njira yake, ndipo munthu wosalungama asiye maganizo ake. Abwerere kwa Atate wathu, ndipo mtima wa Atate wathu udzagwidwa ndi chifundo pa iye; bwererani kwa Atate wathu, pakuti adzakhululuka kochuluka.
8“Pakuti maganizo anga si maganizo anu, ngakhalenso njira zanu si njira zanga,’ atero Atate wathu. 9‘Pakuti monga momwe kumwamba kuli kwapamwamba kuposa dziko lapansi, momwemonso njira zanga zili zapamwamba kuposa njira zanu, ndi maganizo anga kuposa maganizo anu.
10“Pakuti monga momwe mvula ndi matalala zimatsika kuchokera kumwamba ndipo sizibwerera komweko, koma zimathirira dziko lapansi, kuchititsa kuti libale ndi kuphuka, kupatsa mbewu kwa wofesa ndi chakudya kwa odya, 11momwemonso adzakhala mawu anga amene amatuluka m'kamwa mwanga: sadzabwerera kwa Ine chabe, koma adzakwaniritsa chimene ndikufuna ndi kuchita cholinga chimene ndinawatumizira. 12Mudzatuluka ndi chimwemwe ndipo mudzatsogoleredwa mu mtendere; mapiri ndi zitunda zidzayimba nyimbo pamaso panu, ndipo mitengo yonse ya kuthengo idzawomba m'manja. 13M'malo mwa minga payini udzamera, ndipo m'malo mwa mkandankhuku udzamera mchisu. Ichi chidzakhala chaulemerero wa Atate wathu, chizindikiro chosatha chimene sichidzachotsedwa.’”
