Ndi wabwino munthu wosauka amene amayenda mu ungwiro, aposa munthu wopusa woyankhula zokhota.
2 Kakulunganga ukutshiseka kodwa ungelalwazi, loba ukuwalazela uze ulahlekelwe yindlela.
Si bwino kuti munthu akhale wopanda nzeru; ndipo munthu woyenda mofulumira amaphonya njira.
3 Ubuwula bomuntu budiliza impilo yakhe, ikanti inhliziyo yakhe ithukuthelela uThixo.

4 Inotho iletha abangane abanengi, kodwa umyanga ufulathelwa ngumngane wakhe weduze.
Chuma chimachulukitsa abwenzi; koma munthu wosauka bwenzi lake limamuthawa.
5 Umfakazi wamanga uthola isijeziso, lalowo ohutshuza amanga kayikuphunyuka.

Ngati munthu wosauka abale ake omwe amadana naye, nanji abwenzi ake tsono! Iwo adzamuthawa kupita kutali. Amayesa kuwatsatira mowapembedza koma iwo samapezeka konse.

Iye amene amapeza nzeru ndiye kuti amakonda moyo wake. Wosamalitsa kukhala wanzeru, zinthu zimamuyendera bwino.
9 Umfakazi wamanga uthola isijeziso, njalo lowo ohutshuza amanga uzabhubha.

10 Kakusifanelanga isiwula ukuthi sihlale enothweni kubi kangakanani ukuthi isigqili sibuse amakhosana.
Nʼkosayenera kuti chitsiru chizikhala ndi moyo wamanyado, nanjinso kuti kapolo azilamulira akalonga!
11 Ukuhlakanipha komuntu kumupha isineke; kumupha udumo ukunganaki ukuqalwa.
Nzeru zimapangitsa munthu kukhala wosakwiya msanga; ulemerero wake uli posalabadira kuchitiridwa zoyipa.
12 Ukuthukuthela kwenkosi kunjengokubhonga kwesilwane, kodwa ukuthandwa yiyo kunjengamazolo etshanini.
Mkwiyo wa mfumu uli ngati kubangula kwa mkango, koma kukoma mtima kwake kuli ngati mame pa udzu.
13 Indodana eyisiwula iyamchitha uyise, lomfazi olenkani unjengamanzi athonta ephahleni njalonje.
Mwana wopusa ndiye tsoka la abambo ake ndipo mkazi wolongolola ndi wotopetsa ngati mvula yamvumbi.
14 Izindlu lenotho yilifa elizuzwa ebazalini, kodwa umfazi ozwisisayo uvela kuThixo.
Nyumba ndi chuma ndiye cholowa chochokera kwa makolo; koma mkazi wanzeru ndi wochokera kwa Yehova.
15 Ubuvila buletha ubuthongo obukhulu, njalo umuntu owehluleka ukuzenwaya uyalamba.
Ulesi umagonetsa tulo tofa nato ndipo munthu wosatakataka amakhala ndi njala.
16 Lowo olalela izeluleko uvikela impilo yakhe, kodwa lowo ozedelelayo uzakufa.
Amene amamvera malangizo amasunga moyo wake, koma amene sasamala malamulo a Yehova adzafa.

18 Qondisa indodana yakho, ngoba lokho kuzayisiza; ungabi lengxenye yokuyibulala.
Langa mwana wako, chiyembekezo chikanalipo; ngati sutero udzawononga moyo wake.
19 Umuntu ololaka oluphuphumayo luyamtshayisa, ungamlamulela, usuzahlala umlamulela njalo.
Munthu waukali woopsa ayenera kulandira chilango; pakuti akamulekelera ndiye zidzayipa kuposa kale.
20 Lalela ukucetshiswa, wamukele ukuqondiswa, ngoba ekucineni uzahlakanipha.
Mvera uphungu ndipo landira malangizo; pa mapeto pake udzakhala wanzeru.
21 Inhliziyo yomuntu igcwele amacebo amanengi, kodwa yisimiso sikaThixo esimayo.

22 Umuntu uloyisa uthando olungaqamukiyo; kungcono ukuba ngumyanga kulokuba lamanga.
Chimene munthu amafuna ndi chikondi chosatha; nʼkwabwino kukhala wosauka kusiyana ndi kukhala wabodza.
23 Ukumesaba uThixo kuholela ekuphileni: olakho uhlala esuthisekile, engathintwa yizinhlupheko.
Kuopa Yehova kumabweretsa moyo; wotereyo amakhala mu mtendere; ndiye kuti choyipa sichidzamugwera.
24 Ivilavoxo litshonisa isandla salo emganwini, liyehluleke ukubuyisa isandla emlonyeni lidle.
Munthu waulesi amapisa dzanja lake mʼmbale; koma sangathe kufikitsa dzanja lakelo pakamwa pake.
25 Thela uswazi isideleli, abathobekileyo bazafunda ukuhlakanipha; khuza umuntu oqedisisayo, uzazuza ulwazi.
Menya munthu wonyoza, ndipo anthu opanda nzeru adzachenjererapo; dzudzula munthu wozindikira zinthu, ndipo iye adzapezapo chidziwitso.
26 Lowo ontshontshela uyise, axotshe unina yindodana ethelela inhloni lehlazo.
Mwana wochita ndewu ndi abambo ake ndi kuthamangitsa amayi ake, ndi mwana wochititsa manyazi ndi wonyozetsa.
27 Nxa uyekela ukulandela izeluleko, ndodana yami, uzalahleka utshiye amazwi okwazi.
Mwana wanga, ukaleka kumvera malangizo, udzapatukana ndi mawu opatsa nzeru.
28 Umfakazi oxhwalileyo uyawudelela umthetho, lomlomo womubi uminza ububi.
Mboni yopanda pake imanyoza cholungama, ndipo pakamwa pa anthu oyipa pamameza zoyipa.
29 Izijeziso zilungiselwe izideleli, loswazi ngolwemihlane yeziwula.
Chilango chakonzedwa kale kuti chigwere anthu oyipa, ndipo mkwapulo wakonzedwa kale kuti ukwapule misana ya anthu opusa.
