1 Yimba, iwe wouma, amene sunabala; yimba zolimba ndi kupfuula zolimba, iwe amene sunabala mwana; pakuti ana a mfedwa acuruka koposa ana a mkazi wokwatibwa ndi mwamuna, ati Yehova.
2 Kuza malo a hema wako, afunyulule zinsaru za mokhalamo iwe; usaleke, tanimphitsa zingwe zako, limbitsa zikhomo zako.
3 Pakuti iwe udzafalikira ponse pa dzanja lamanja ndi lamanzere, ndipo mbeu yako idzalandira amitundu colowa cao, ndi kukhalitsa anthu m'mabwinja.
4 Usaope, pakuti sudzakhala ndi manyazi; usasokonezedwe, pakuti sudzacitidwa manyazi; pakuti udzaiwala manyazi a ubwana wako, ndi citonzo ca umasiye wako sudzacikumbukiranso.
