10 1Nchifukwa chiyani, Atate wathu, mumaima patali? Nchifukwa chiyani mumabisala m'nthawi ya mavuto?
2Mwa kudzikuza kwake munthu woipa amasaka mwaukali osauka; oipa akodwe m'machenjerero amene adawakonza okha. 3Pakuti woipa amanyadira zimene mtima wake umalakalaka; munthu waumbombo amatemberera nakana Atate wathu. 4Mwa kudzikuza kwake munthu woipa safunafuna Iye; maganizo ake onse ndi akuti, “Kulibe Mulungu.” a a v4 Maganizo okhazikika a munthu woipa — “Kulibe Mulungu” — ndiwo bodza lakale lakuti Atate wathu ali kutali kapena kulibe. Salimo likuyankha izi: Atate wathu amaona ndithu, ndipo amateteza osatetezeka. 5Njira zake zimapindula nthawi zonse; ziweruzo zanu zili kumwamba, kutali pamwamba pake; amanyodola adani ake onse. 6Amanena mu mtima wake, “Sindidzagwedezeka konse; kuyambira mbadwo ndi mbadwo sindidzakumana ndi mavuto.”
7Pakamwa pake padzaza ndi matemberero ndi chinyengo ndi chipsinjo; pansi pa lilime lake pali mavuto ndi kuipa. 8Amakhala chobisalira pafupi ndi midzi; kuchokera m'malo obisalamo amapha osalakwa, maso ake akulondalonda mobisa osatetezeka. 9Amabisalira mseri ngati mkango m'tchire mwake; amabisalira kuti agwire osauka, nakokera osauka mu ukonde wake. 10Ozunzika ake aphwanyidwa, agwa pansi; osatetezeka agwa ndi mphamvu yake. 11Amanena mu mtima wake, “Mulungu wayiwala; wabisa nkhope yake; sadzaziona konse.”
12Dzukani, Atate wathu! Kwezani dzanja lanu; musayiwale ozunzika. 13Nchifukwa chiyani munthu woipa amakana Atate wathu nanena mu mtima wake, “Simudzandiimba mlandu”? 14Koma Inu mumaona, pakuti mumalingalira mavuto ndi chisoni, kuti muzitenge m'manja mwanu. Wosatetezeka amadzipereka kwa Inu; Inu ndinu wothandiza amasiye. b b v14 Atate wathu akutchulidwa pano ngati wothandiza amasiye — mtetezi wa ana amasiye. Mtima wake umabisa anthu omwewo amene palibe wina adzawateteza. 15Thyolani mkono wa woipa ndi munthu wankhanza; imbani mlandu kuipa kwake kufikira musapezenso.
16Atate wathu ndiye mfumu ku nthawi za nthawi zonse; mitundu ya anthu itha m'dziko lake. 17Inu mumamva chilakolako cha ozunzika, Atate wathu; mudzalimbitsa mtima wawo; mudzatchera khutu, 18kuti muweruze mwachilungamo amasiye ndi ozunzika, kuti munthu wamba asaopsezenso.
