1Yobu anapitiriza kuyankhula kwake:

2“Aa! Ndikanakhala momwe ndinalili miyezi yapitayi,

masiku amene Mulungu ankandiyangʼanira,

3pamene nyale yake inkandiwunikira

ndipo ndi kuwunika kwakeko ine ndinkatha kuyenda mu mdima!

4Ndithu, masiku amene ndinali pabwino kwambiri,

pamene ubwenzi wa Mulungu unkabweretsa madalitso pa nyumba yanga,

5nthawi imene Wamphamvuzonse anali nane,

ndipo ana anga anali atandizungulira mʼmbalimu,

6pamene popondapo ine panali patakhathamira mafuta a mkaka,

ndipo pa thanthwe pamatuluka mitsinje ya mafuta a olivi.

7“Pamene ndinkapita pa chipata cha mzinda

ndi kukhala pa mpando wanga pabwalo,

8anyamata amati akandiona ankapatuka

ndipo anthu akuluakulu ankayimirira;

9atsogoleri ankakhala chete

ndipo ankagwira pakamwa pawo;

10anthu otchuka ankangoti duu,

ndipo malilime awo anali atamatirira ku nkhama zawo.

11Aliyense amene anamva za ine anayankhula zabwino zanga,

ndipo iwo amene anandiona ankandiyamikira,

12chifukwa ndinkapulumutsa mʼmphawi wofuna chithandizo,

ndiponso mwana wamasiye amene analibe aliyense womuthandiza.

13Munthu amene anali pafupi kufa ankandidalitsa;

ndinkasangalatsanso mkazi wamasiye.

14Chilungamo chinali ngati chovala changa;

chiweruzo cholungama ndiye chinali mkanjo ndi nduwira yanga.

15Ndinali ngati maso kwa anthu osapenya;

ndinali ngati mapazi kwa anthu olumala.

16Ndinali ngati abambo kwa anthu aumphawi;

ndinkayimira mlendo pa mlandu wake.

17Ndinkawononga mphamvu za anthu oyipa

ndi kulanditsa amene anali atagwidwa.

18“Ndinkaganiza kuti, ‘Ndidzafera mʼnyumba yanga,

masiku a moyo wanga ali ochuluka ngati mchenga.

19Mizu yanga idzatambalalira ku madzi,

ndipo mame adzakhala pa nthambi zanga usiku wonse.

20Ulemerero wanga udzakhala wosaguga mwa ine,

ndipo uta wanga udzakhala watsopano nthawi zonse mʼdzanja langa.’

21“Anthu ankamvetsera zimene ndinkanena mwachidwi,

ankadikira atakhala chete kuti amve malangizo anga.

22Ndikayankhula, iwo sankayankhulanso;

mawu anga ankawagwira mtima.

23Ankayembekezera ine monga momwe amayembekezera mvula

ndipo ankalandira mawu anga ngati mvula ya mʼmalimwe.

24Ndikawasekerera, iwo sankatha kukhulupirira;

kuwala kwa nkhope yanga chinali chinthu chamtengowapatali kwa iwowo.

25Ndinkawasankhira njira yawo ndipo ndinkawatsogolera ngati mfumu;

ndinkakhala ngati mfumu pakati pa gulu lake lankhondo;

ndinali ngati msangalatsi pakati pa anthu olira.”
