34 1Ndidzatamanda Atate wathu nthawi zonse; matamando ake adzakhala pa milomo yanga nthawi zonse.
2Moyo wanga udzinyadira mwa Atate wathu; odzichepetsa amve, nasangalale. 3Kuzani Atate wathu pamodzi ndi ine; tiyeni tikweze dzina lake pamodzi.
4Ndinafunafuna Atate wathu, ndipo anandiyankha; anandilanditsa ku mantha anga onse. 5Iwo amene amamuyang'ana Iye amawala; nkhope zawo sizidzachita manyazi konse. 6Munthu wosauka uyu anafuula, ndipo Atate wathu anamva; anampulumutsa ku masautso ake onse. 7Mngelo wa Atate wathu amamanga misasa kuzungulira iwo amene amamuopa, ndipo amawapulumutsa.
8Lawani ndi kuona kuti Atate wathu ndi wabwino; wodala ndi munthu amene amathawira kwa Iye. 9Opani Atate wathu, inu oyera ake, pakuti amene amamuopa alibe chosowa. 10Mikango yaing'ono imamva njala ndi kusowa, koma amene amafunafuna Atate wathu sasowa chinthu chabwino chilichonse.
11Bwerani, ana inu, imvani ine; ndidzakuphunzitsani kuopa Atate wathu. 12Kodi ndani munthu amene amafuna moyo, nakonda masiku ambiri abwino? 13Letsa lilime lako ku zoipa, ndi milomo yako kuti isayankhule zachinyengo. 14Patuka ku zoipa, nuchite zabwino; funafuna mtendere, nuutsatire.
15Maso a Atate wathu ali pa olungama, ndipo makutu ake ali tcheru ku kulira kwawo. 16Nkhope ya Atate wathu imatsutsa iwo amene amachita zoipa, kuti achotse chikumbutso chawo pa dziko lapansi. 17Olungama amafuula, ndipo Atate wathu amamva; amawalanditsa ku masautso awo onse. 18Atate wathu ali pafupi ndi anthu osweka mtima; amapulumutsa iwo amene asweka mu mzimu.
19Olungama amakumana ndi masautso ambiri, koma Atate wathu amalanditsa aliyense ku masautso onsewo. 20Atate wathu amasunga mafupa onse a munthu wolungama; palibe limodzi la iwo limene limaswedwa.
21Zoipa zidzapha woipa, ndipo amene amadana ndi olungama adzapezeka olakwa. 22Atate wathu amawombola moyo wa atumiki ake; palibe mmodzi amene amathawira kwa Iye amene adzapezeka olakwa.
