1 Mauwa ali okhulupirika, ngati munthu akhumba udindo wa woyang'anira, aifuna nchito yabwino.
2 Ndipo kuyenera woyang'anira akhale wopanda cirema, mwamuna wa mkazi mmodzi, wodzisunga, wodziletsa, wolongosoka, wokonda kucereza alendo, wokhoza kuphunzitsa;
3 wosati woledzera, kapena womenyana ndeu; komatu wofatsa, wopanda ndeu, wosakhumba cuma;
4 woweruza bwino nyumba yace ya iye yekha, wakukhala nao ana ace omvera iye ndi kulemekezeka konse.
5 Koma ngati munthu sadziwa kuweruza nyumba ya iye yekha, adzasunga bwanji Mpingo wa Mulungu?
6 Asakhale wophunza, kuti podzitukumula ungamgwere mlandu wa mdierekezi.
