1 Ananu, mverani mwambo wa atate,Nimuchere makutu mukadziwe luntha;
2 Pakuti ndikuphunzitsani zabwino;Musasiye cilangizo canga.
3 Pakuti ndinali mwana kwa atate wanga,Wokondedwa ndi mai, ndine ndekha, sanabala wina.
4 Atate nandiphunzitsa, nati kwa ine,Mtima wako uumirire mau anga;Sunga malamulo anga, nukhale ndi moyo.
5 Tenga nzeru, tenga luntha;Usaiwale, usapatuke pa mau a m'kamwa mwanga;
6 Usasiye nzeru, ndipo Idzakusunga;Uikonde, idzakucinjiriza.
