Ndibvereni ntsisi, Baba wanga, thangwi anthu asandiponda; ntsiku yonsene nyakuwukira asandipsinja. Anyamalwa anga asandiponda ntsiku yonsene; azinji asandimenya mwakudzikuza. Ndingagopa, ndisanyindira Imwe.

Kodi anapulumuka thangwi ya kuipa kwawo? Mwaukali, gwisani mitundu ya anthu, Baba wanga. Imwe mwalengesa kuyendayenda kwanga; ikhani misozi yanga mu supa yanu. Kodi iri mu bukhu yanu tayu?

Penepo anyamalwa anga anabwerera nduli pandacemera. Ici ndisacidziwa: kuti Baba wanga ali ku mbali yanga. Kuna Baba wanga ndisasimba fala yace; kuna Baba wanga ndisasimba fala yace.

Kuna Baba wanga ndisanyindira; ndinagopa tayu. Kodi anthu basi anakwanisa kundicitanji? Mapiciro anu ali pa ine, Baba wanga; ndinakuperekerani ntsembe zakutenda. Thangwi Imwe mwapulumusa moyo wanga ku kufa—inde, minyendo yanga ku kukhundumuka— toera ndifambe pamaso pa Baba wanga mu ceza ca umaso.
