Basa ya Mpfundzisi
9Mpfundzisi akhali munthu wandzeru, pontho apfundzisa anthu cidziwiso—mbalingana, mbasaka, mbakhunganya misangani mizinji. 10Mpfundzisi asaka kugumana mafala akukomeresa, na pidalemba iye pikhali pyakulungama na pyandimomwene. 11Mafala a ndzeru ali ninga pingolo; misangani yakugumanyizwa ali ninga misomali yakukhomerwa mwamphambvu—yapaswa na M'busa m'bodzi. 12Kusiyapo pyenepi, mwananga, samala: kucita mabukhu mazinji nkhabe kumala, na kupfundza kunango kusaneta manungo.
