Chaputala 39.

Ine ndinati, “Ndidzasunga njira zanga kuti ndisachimwe ndi lilime langa; ndidzayika chomangira pakamwa panga, pamene anthu oipa ali pafupi nane.” Ndinakhala chete, wosayankhula; ndinakhala chete ngakhale pa zinthu zabwino, ndipo ululu wanga unawonjezeka. Mtima wanga unatentha mkati mwanga; pamene ndinkalingalira, moto unayaka; pamenepo ndinayankhula: Ndionetseni mapeto anga, Atate wanga, ndi muyeso wa masiku anga kuti uli wotani; ndidziwe momwe ndine wosakhalitsa.

Taonani, mwasandutsa masiku anga kukhala ngati zala zochepa chabe, ndipo nthawi ya moyo wanga ndi chabe kwa Inu. Zoonadi, munthu aliyense ali ngati mpweya chabe. Zoonadi, munthu aliyense amayendayenda ngati mthunzi; zoonadi, ntchito zawo zonse ndi zachabe; amaunjika chuma koma sadziwa amene adzachisonkhanitsa. Ndipo tsopano, Atate Wolamulira Zonse, kodi ndikudikira chiyani? Chiyembekezo changa chili mwa Inu. Ndipulumutseni ku zoukira zanga zonse; musandisandutse chonyozedwa cha opusa. Ndakhala chete; sinditsekula pakamwa panga, pakuti ndinu amene mwachita zimenezi. Chotsani mkwapulo wanu pa ine; ndatheratu ndi kumenya kwa dzanja lanu.

Ndi chidzudzulo mumalanga munthu chifukwa cha tchimo; mumawononga ngati njenjete zinthu zimene iye amazikonda; zoonadi, munthu aliyense ali ngati mpweya chabe. Imvani pemphero langa, Atate wanga, ndipo mvetserani kulira kwanga; musanyalanyaze misozi yanga; pakuti ine ndine mlendo chabe pamodzi ndi Inu, woyenda ngati makolo anga onse. Chotsani maso anu pa ine, kuti ndimwetulire kachiwiri, ndisanachoke ndi kusakhalaponso.
