11 Musalole kuti phazi la wodzikuza libwere kulimbana nane, kapena dzanja la oyipa kundithamangitsa.
Unyawo lwabazigqajayo lungezi kimi, lesandla sababi singangixotshi.
12 Onani momwe ochita zoyipa agonera atagwa, aponyeni pansi, kuti asathe kudzukanso!
Nampo abenzi bobubi sebewile, bawiselwe phansi, kabalakuvuka.
