Baba wathu analonga kuti dziko linadzasiyidwa lakusowa anthu mbanthu anadzamwazikana. Cinthu cibodzi cakufunika kudzikuza naco ndi kumudziwa iye — ufuni wakukhulupirika, cirungamo, kulungama, pinthu pyomwe pyandimomwene pinamukomera.
9 1Mbingadakhala msolo wanga ncera wa madzi, na maso anga ncera wa misozi, toera ndilire masikati na masiku thangwi ya anyakuphiwa a mwana wa mbumba yanga! 2Mbingadakhala na nyumba yakugonera alendo n'thando, toera ndisiye mbumba yanga mbandenda kutali na iwo! Thangwi onsene ndi anyaupombo, nsoka wa anyakunyengeza.
3Asakwewa malirimi awo ninga uta; uthambi, tayu kukhulupirika, ndiwo wakula mphambvu n'dziko. Asabuluka ku kuipa mbaenda ku kuipa kunango, nee asandidziwa Ine, asalonga Baba wathu.
4Munthu onsene acenjere na ndzace, mbakhonda kunyindira m'bale onsene; thangwi m'bale onsene ndi nyakunyengeza, na ndzace onsene asafamba mbasesa anango.
5Munthu onsene asanyengeza ndzace, nkhabe munthu analonga undimo; apfundzisa malirimi awo kulonga uthambi, mbaneta okha na kucita pyakuipa. 6Usakhala pakati pa unyengezi; thangwi ya unyengezi wawo asakhonda kundidziwa Ine, asalonga Baba wathu.
7Natenepa, Baba wa anyankhondo a kudzulu asalonga tenepa: Ine ndinaaengwengesa mbandiaayesa, thangwi ndinacitanji cinango, thangwi ya mwana wa mbumba yanga? 8Lirimi yawo ndi museve wakupha; isalonga unyengezi. Munthu onsene asalonga ntendere kuna ndzace na mulomo wace, mbwenye muntima mwace asamuikira cithangwa. 9Kodi nee ndinaalanga thangwi ya pinthu ipi? asalonga Baba wathu. Kodi nee ndinabwezera pa dziko ninga ili? 10“Ndinalira mbandicita maliro thangwi ya mapiri, mbandiimba maliro thangwi ya mbuto zakudyera za n'thando, thangwi zapfudzwa mbzikhala zakusowa anakupita, nee kusabveka kulira kwa ng'ombe. Kutomera mbalame za kudzulu mpaka pinyama, pyonsene pyathawa mbipienda. 11Ndinacitisa Yerusalemi kukhala milu ya pyakupfudzwa, phanga ya nkhandwe; mbandicitisa mizinda ya Yuda kukhala yakupfudzwa, yakusowa anyakukhalamo.”
12Mbani wanzeru toera kubvesesa pinthu ipi? Mbani adalongererwa na mulomo wa Baba wathu, toera afokotoze thangwi yanji dziko yapfudzwa, mbikhala yakupiswa ninga n'thando, yakusowa anakuipita?
13Baba wathu asalonga tenepa: Thangwi asiya malamulo anga, adaapasa Ine, nee abvera fala yanga, nee afamba mwenemu, 14mbwenye atowezera mitima yawo mwakuuma nsolo, mbaenda kutowera aBhaali, ninga mudaapfundzisira ababa awo. 15Natenepa, Baba wa anyankhondo a kudzulu, Baba wathu wa Izarayeli, asalonga tenepa: Ndinadyesa mbumba iyi cakudya cakuwawa, mbandiapasa madzi akupha toera amwe. 16Ndinaamwazira pakati pa madziko akhakhonda kuadziwa iwo na ababa awo, mbanditumiza supada kuatowera mpaka ndiapfudze.
17Baba wa anyankhondo a kudzulu asalonga tenepa: Nyerezerani! Cemerani akazi akudziwa kucita maliro; tumizani kuna ale adadziwa kuimba nyimbo za maliro. 18Mbacimbize mbakuza maliro pa ife, toera maso athu abuluse misozi na magone a maso athu akhuluke madzi.
19Thangwi fala ya maliro isabveka kubulukira ku Sioni: Tapfudzwa kakamwe! Tapaswa manyadzo makamwe, thangwi tasiya dziko yathu, thangwi agwesa nyumba zathu. 20Cincino bverani fala ya Baba wathu, imwe akazi; makutu anu atambire fala ya mulomo wace. Pfundzisani ananu acikazi maliro, m'bodzi na m'bodzi apfundzise ndzace nyimbo ya maliro. 21Thangwi kufa kwakwira kubulukira m'mafuneshitiri athu; kwapita m'nyumba zathu zikulu, mbakugwisa anapiana m'miseu na aphale pa mabwalo.
22Longa: Baba wathu asalonga tenepa: Mitembo ya anthu inagwa ninga mataka pa munda, ninga misinda ya tirigu yakusiyiwa nduma ya nyakubvuna, mbyakusowa anakuisonkhanisa.
23Baba wathu asalonga tenepa: Munthu waunzeru aleke kudzikuza na unzeru wace, munthu wamphambvu aleke kudzikuza na mphambvu zace, nyakupfuma aleke kudzikuza na mpfuma zace; 24mbwenye ule anadzikuza, adzikuze na ici: kuti asandibvesesa mbandidziwa Ine — kuti Ine ndine Baba wanu, anacita kufuna kwakukhulupirika, ciruzo, na kulungama pa dziko yapantsi; thangwi pinthu ipi ndipyo pinandikomeresa, asalonga Baba wathu.
25Onani, ntsiku ziri kubwera, asalonga Baba wathu, pa ndzidzi unoyu ndinalanga onsene adasidzwa basi ene m'manungo. 26Ejitu, Yuda, Edhomu, ana a Amoni, Moabi, na onsene anagwata tsisi za pa mphetekete zawo mbakhala n'thando. Thangwi madziko onsene awa nee adasidzwa, na nyumba yonsene ya Izarayeli ndi yakuuma ntima.
