5 Imwi mese muri vana vechiedza nevana vemasikati; hatisi veusiku kana verima;
Nonse ndinu ana a kuwunika ndi ana a usana. Sindife anthu a usiku kapena mdima.
6 naizvozvo zvino ngatirege kurara sevamwewo, asi ngatirinde, tipengenuke.
Chomwecho tsono, tisafanane ndi ena amene akugona koma tikhale maso ndi odzisunga.
7 Nokuti vanorara vanorara usiku; nevanoraradza vanoraradza usiku.
Pakuti amene akugona, amagona usiku, ndi amene amaledzera, amaledzera usiku.
8 Asi isu tiri vemasikati, ngatipengenuke, tichipfeka chidzitiro chechifuva cherutendo nerudo; netariro yeruponeso ive ngowani.
Koma popeza ndife a usana, tikhale odzisunga, titavala chikhulupiriro ndi chikondi ngati chovala pachifuwa, ndi chiyembekezo cha chipulumutso ngati chipewa.
9 Nokuti Mwari haana kutitemera hasha, asi kuwana ruponeso naIshe wedu Jesu Kristu,
Pakuti Mulungu sanatisankhe kuti tikavutike ndi mkwiyo koma kuti tilandire chipulumutso kudzera mwa Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu.
10 wakatifira, kuti kana tikarinda kana kurara, tirarame pamwe naye.
Iye anatifera ndi cholinga chakuti, kaya tili ndi moyo kapena tagona, tikhale naye pamodzi.
11 Saka kurudziranai, muvakane, sezvamunoitawo.
Choncho limbikitsanani wina ndi mnzake ndi kuthandizana kukula mu mzimu, monga momwe mukuchitira.
12 Asi tinokukumbirai, hama, kuziva vanoshanda zvine simba pakati penyu, nevanokutungamirirai muna Ishe, nekukurairai,
Tsopano tikukupemphani abale kuti muziwalemekeza amene akugwira ntchito pakati panu, amene amakuyangʼanirani mwa Ambuye ndi amene amakulimbikitsani.

14 Asi tinokukurudzirai, hama, yambirai vasina murairo, munyaradze vanopera moyo, tsigirai vasina simba, muve nemoyo murefu kune vese.
Ndipo tikukupemphani abale, muwachenjeze amene akungokhala osagwira ntchito, alimbikitseni amanyazi, thandizani ofowoka ndipo muzilezera mtima aliyense.
15 Chenjerai kuti umwe arege kutsiva umwe zvakaipa nezvakaipa; asi nguva dzese teverai zvakanaka, zvese pakati penyu nekune vese.
Onetsetsani kuti wina asabwezere choyipa kwa omuchitira choyipa koma nthawi zonse yesetsani kukhala okoma mtima kwa wina ndi mnzake; ndiponso ndi kwa anthu ena onse.

23 NaMwari werugare amene ngaakuitei vatsvene zvakazara; nemweya wenyu wese, nemoyo, nemuviri, zvichengetwe zvisina zvazvingapomerwa pakuuya kwaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu.
Mulungu mwini, Mulungu wamtendere, akuyeretseni kotheratu. Mzimu wanu wonse, moyo ndi thupi zisungidwe zopanda cholakwa mpaka kubwera kwa Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu.
24 Wakatendeka iye anokudanai, achazviitawo.
Amene anakuyitanani ndi wokhulupirika ndipo Iye adzachita zimenezi.
25 Hama, tinyengetererei.

26 Kwazisai hama dzese nekutsvoda kutsvene.
Perekani moni wachikondi kwa onse.
27 Ndinokupikirai naIshe, kuti tsamba iyi iverengerwe hama tsvene dzese.
Pamaso pa Ambuye ndikulamula kuti kalatayi iwerengedwe kwa abale onse.
28 Nyasha dzaIshe wedu Jesu Kristu ngadzive nemwi. Ameni.
Chisomo cha Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu chikhale nanu.
