Miyambo 19

¹Ndi wabwino munthu wosauka amene amayenda mu ungwiro,

²Si bwino kuti munthu akhale wopanda nzeru;

³Uchitsiru wa munthu umamubweretsera zovuta,

⁴Chuma chimachulukitsa abwenzi;

⁵Mboni yonama sidzalephera kulangidwa;

⁶Anthu ambiri amafuna munthu wopatsa kuti awakomere mtima,

⁷Ngati munthu wosauka abale ake omwe amadana naye,

⁸Iye amene amapeza nzeru ndiye kuti amakonda moyo wake.

⁹Mboni yonama sidzalephera kulangidwa,

¹⁰Nʼkosayenera kuti chitsiru chizikhala ndi moyo wamanyado,

¹¹Nzeru zimapangitsa munthu kukhala wosakwiya msanga;

¹²Mkwiyo wa mfumu uli ngati kubangula kwa mkango,

¹³Mwana wopusa ndiye tsoka la abambo ake

¹⁴Nyumba ndi chuma ndiye cholowa chochokera kwa makolo;

¹⁵Ulesi umagonetsa tulo tofa nato

¹⁶Amene amamvera malangizo amasunga moyo wake,

¹⁷Amene amakomera mtima osauka amachita ngati wakongoletsa Yehova,

¹⁸Langa mwana wako, chiyembekezo chikanalipo;

¹⁹Munthu waukali woopsa ayenera kulandira chilango;

²⁰Mvera uphungu ndipo landira malangizo;

²¹Munthu amakonzekera zambiri mu mtima mwake,

²²Chimene munthu amafuna ndi chikondi chosatha;

²³Kuopa Yehova kumabweretsa moyo;

²⁴Munthu waulesi amapisa dzanja lake mʼmbale;

²⁵Menya munthu wonyoza, ndipo anthu opanda nzeru adzachenjererapo;

²⁶Mwana wochita ndewu ndi abambo ake ndi kuthamangitsa amayi ake,

²⁷Mwana wanga, ukaleka kumvera malangizo,

²⁸Mboni yopanda pake imanyoza cholungama,

²⁹Chilango chakonzedwa kale kuti chigwere anthu oyipa,
