Manyerezero a Baba wathu ali padzulu kupiringana awo, natenepa kulekerera kwace ndi kwaulere kupiringana pinanyindira iwo. Fala yace, ninga mvula, nkhabe kubwerera pyakusowa phindu.
55 1“Imwani! Imwe monsene muli na nyota, bwerani ku madzi; imwe akusowa kobiri, bwerani, gulani cakudya mbamudya! Bwerani, gulani vinyu na nkaka mwakukhonda kulipa—mwaulere. 2Thangwi yanji musamwaza kobiri pa cinthu cakuti si nkate tayu, na basa yanu pa cinthu cakuti nkhabe kukwanisa? Bveserani mwadidi mafala anga, mbamudya pinthu pyadidi, na moyo wanu unadzakomerwa na cakudya cakunyorodza kakamwe. 3Fungulani makutu anu mbamubwera kuna Ine; bveserani, toera moyo wanu ukhale wamaso. Ndinacita cibverano cakukhonda kumala na imwe, kufuna kwanga kwakukhulupirika kudapikirwa kuna Dhavidhi. a a v3 Paulu asalonga vesi iyi mu Machitiro 13:34 thangwi ya kulamuka muli akufa kwa Yezu — cibverano cakukhonda kumala ca Baba wathu na Dhavidhi cisakwanisika mwakukwana muna Kirixtu adalamuka muli akufa. 4Onani, Ine ndamusankhula iye kukhala mboni kuna mitundu ya anthu, ntsogoleri na nyakutonga wa mitundu ya anthu. 5Mwandimomwene munadzacemera dziko yakuti nkhabe kuidziwa, na dziko yakuti nkhabe kukudziwani inadzathamanga kubwera kuna imwe, thangwi ya Baba wanu, Wakucena wa Izarayeli, thangwi Iye akupasani mbiri.”
6Sakani Baba wathu mu ndzidzi unakwanisika Iye kugumanika; cemerani Iye mu ndzidzi uli Iye dhuzi. 7Munthu wakuipa mbasiye njira yace, na munthu wakukhonda kulungama mbasiye manyerezero ace. Mbabwerere kuna Baba wathu, na ntima wa Baba wathu unadzadzala na ntsisi thangwi ya iye; bwererani kuna Baba wathu, thangwi Iye anadzalekerera mwaulere.
8“Thangwi manyerezero anga nkhabe khala manyerezero anu, nee njira zanu si njira zanga tayu,’ alonga Baba wathu. 9‘Thangwi ninga kudzulu kuli padzulu kakamwe kupita pa dziko yapantsi, tenepo njira zanga ziri padzulu kupita njira zanu, na manyerezero anga kupita manyerezero anu.
10“Thangwi ninga mvura na matalala pinabuluka kudzulu mbipikhonda kubwerera kweneko, mbwenye pisathirira dziko yapantsi, mbaicitisa kubala na kumera, mbapereka mbeu kuna nyakubzwala na nkate kuna ale anadya, 11tenepo ndi momwe inadzakhalira fala yanga inabuluka pa mulomo wanga: inadzabwerera kuna Ine mwayawaya tayu, mbwenye inadzakwanisa pinafuna Ine, mbaifikisa cifuno cidaituma Ine. 12Imwe munadzabuluka mwakutsandzaya mbamutsogolerwa mwantendere; mapiri na mitunda inadzatoma kuimba nyimbo pamaso panu, na miti yonsene ya kuthando inadzamenya manja. 13M'mbuto mwa minga, muti wa sipuresi unadzamera, na m'mbuto mwa minga yakupswa, munadzamera muti wa mitiru. Pyenepi pinadzakhala mbiri ya Baba wathu, cizindikiro cakukhonda kumala cakuti nkhabe kudzagwandika.’”
