6 Koma mlonda akaona lupanga likudza, osaomba lipenga, osacenjeza anthu, nilidza lupanga, nilicotsa mwa iwo; munthu atengedwadi m'mphulupulu zace, koma mwazi wace ndidzaufunsa pa dzanja la mlonda.
7 Iwe tsono, wobadwa ndi munthu, ndakuika mlonda wa nyumba ya Israyeli, m'mwemo imva mau a pakamwa panga, nundicenjezere iwo.
8 Ndikati Ine kwa woipa, Woipawe, udzafa ndithu, osanena iwe kumcenjeza woipayo aleke njira yace, woipa uyo adzafa m'mphulupulu yace, koma mwazi wace ndidzaufunsa pa dzanja lako.
9 Koma ukacenjeza woipa za njira yace, aileke; koma iye osaileka njira yace, adzafa m'mphulupulu mwace iye, koma iwe walanditsa moyo wako.
