Mwadya ndipo mwanenepa ngati nyama pa tsiku limene ikukaphedwa.+ 6  Mwaweruza ndiponso kupha munthu wolungama.

Amayembekezera moleza mtima mpaka mvula yoyamba komanso mvula yomaliza itagwa.+ 8  Inunso khalani oleza mtima.+ Limbitsani mitima yanu, chifukwa kukhalapo kwa Ambuye kwayandikira.+ 9  Musamadandaule za ena* abale, kuti musaweruzidwe.+ Taonani, Woweruza waima pakhomo. 10  Abale, pa nkhani ya kumva zowawa+ ndi kuleza mtima,+ tengerani chitsanzo cha aneneri amene analankhula mʼdzina la Yehova.*+ 11  Monga mmene mukudziwira, anthu amene anapirira timawaona kuti ndi odala.*+ Munamva za kupirira kwa Yobu+ ndipo mukudziwa madalitso amene Yehova* anamupatsa.+ Mukuona nokha kuti Yehova* ndi wachikondi chachikulu komanso wachifundo.+ 12  Koma koposa zonse abale anga, siyani kulumbira, potchula kumwamba kapena dziko lapansi kapena lumbiro lina lililonse. Koma mukati “Inde,” azikhaladi inde ndipo mukati “Ayi,” azikhaladi ayi+ kuti musakhale oyenera kuweruzidwa. 13  Kodi pali aliyense amene akukumana ndi mavuto pakati panu? Apitirize kupemphera.+ Kodi pali aliyense amene akusangalala? Aimbe nyimbo zotamanda Mulungu.+ 14  Kodi pali aliyense amene akudwala pakati panu? Aitane akulu+ a mpingo, ndipo iwo amupempherere ndi kumupaka+ mafuta mʼdzina la Yehova.* 15  Pemphero lachikhulupiriro lidzachiritsa munthu amene akudwalayo* ndipo Yehova* adzamulimbitsa. Komanso ngati anachita machimo, adzakhululukidwa. 16  Choncho muululirane machimo anu poyera+ ndi kupemphererana, kuti muchiritsidwe. Pemphero lopembedzera la munthu wolungama limagwira ntchito mwamphamvu kwambiri.*+ 17  Eliya anali munthu ngati ife tomwe, komabe atapemphera kuchokera pansi pamtima kuti mvula isagwe, mvula sinagwedi mʼdzikolo kwa zaka zitatu ndi miyezi 6.+ 18  Kenako anapempheranso ndipo mvula inagwa kuchokera kumwamba moti nthaka inatulutsa zipatso zake.+ 19  Abale anga, ngati wina pakati panu wasiya choonadi chifukwa chosocheretsedwa, ndiye munthu wina nʼkumubweza, 20  dziwani kuti amene wabweza wochimwayo panjira yake yoipa,+ wamupulumutsa ku imfa ndipo Mulungu adzakhululukira wochimwayo machimo ambiri.+
