1 Chinatenda wandima hamwenga na Chohile, chawalombezani msekuzumila chiya wedi mhokele kulaila kwa Chohile chage bule. 2 Chohile agamba vino,
“Umo chipindi chizumilwe chabulaga

Tegeleza, chipindi chizumilwe ni chino, zuwa dya uhonyi ni haluse!
3 Hachikunga kutenda nkobadiko mwe mbuli yoyose, chani ndima yetu isekufuzumilwa. 4 Mna chelongela wenye kugamba chindedi chi wandima wa Chohile kwa chila chintu, kwa ujijimizi ulozize mwe chipindi cha masulumizo, madala na nkunto. 5 Chitoigwa, chifungwa na kuzomwa mo lumpe, chidamanya ndima niyo chasokela, chicheleza na kwikala na sala. 6 Chelagisa kugamba suwe chi wandima wa Chohile kwa sila ya wedi we myoyo yetu, na umanyi wa ujijimizi na wedi wetu, na kwa Muye Ukukile, mwe chindedi chetu cho ungi, 7 kwa ulosi wa chindedi na kwa nguvu ya Chohile. Wedi nicho chiziha chetu chi kumuwagila Chohile cha kwedima kulume na kumoso. 8 Chatunya na kubelwa, chalongelwa yehiye na kulongelwa yedi. Chafanyanywa kugamba chiwadanti, kumbe chalonga chindedi, 9 saviya hewemanyike, kumbe chimanyika kwa wose, saviya wabanike, mna sevyo mkuwona, suwe chiwajima. 10 Hata hegu china chinyulu, mazuwa yose chelelwa, hata hegu chiwachiwa, mna chatenda walozize wagoli, kumbe china chila chintu.
