Izaiya 64:1-12
64 Mbapidakhala mwadidi kakamwe mbamudapandula kudzulu mbamutcita pantsi,Natenepa mapiri mbadatetemera thangwi ya imwe,
2 Ninga pinacita moto ungapisa nkhuni zakuuma,Pontho ninga pinacita iwo ungaperusa madzi,Natenepa anyamalwa anu mbadadziwa dzina yanu,Pontho madzindza mbadatetemera pamaso panu!
3 Pidacita imwe pinthu pyakudzumisa pyakuti ife nee tikhapidikhira,+Imwe mwatcita, pontho mapiri atekenyeka pamaso panu.+
4 Kutomera kale kakamwe nkhabepo munthu adabva,Peno kunyerezera pya Mulungu unango kusiyapo imwe,Pontho nkhabepo adamuona, wakuti asacita pinthu toera kuphedza ale ananʼdikhira.*+
5 Imwe mwasaka ale akuti asakomerwa na kucita pinthu pyadidi,+Ale akuti asakukumbukani mbatowezera njira zanu.
Imwe mwaipirwa thangwi ife tikhapitiriza kudawa,+Ife tisadawa kutomera kale.
Kodi cincino, ife tathema kupulumuswa?
6 Pontho ife tonsene tadzakhala ninga munthu wakukhonda cena,Macitiro athu onsene aulungami anadzakhala ninga cinguwo ca nkazi wakuti ali ku mwezi.+
Tonsene tinabunyala ninga tsamba,Pontho ife tinakwatwa na madodo athu ninga mphepo.
7 Nkhabepo anacemera dzina yanu,Nkhabepo anawangisira toera kusaka ciphedzo canu,Thangwi imwe mwatibisira nkhope yanu,+Pontho imwe mwaticitisa kuti tionde thangwi ya madodo athu.
8 Mbwenye cincino Yahova, imwe ndimwe Babathu.+
Ife ndife dongo, pontho imwe ndimwe Nyakutiumba;*+Ife tonsene ndife basa ya manja anu.
9 Imwe Yahova, lekani kuipirwa kakamwe,+Pontho lekani kukumbuka madodo athu kwenda na kwenda.
Taphata miyendo, tiyangʼaneni, thangwi tonsene ndife mbumba yanu.
10 Mizinda yanu yakucena yadzakhala ninga thando.
Sioni adzakhala ninga thando,Yerusalemu adzakhala ninga madembe.+
11 Nyumba* yathu yakucena na yakubalika,Mule mukhakusimbirani ambuyathu,Yamala kupiswa na moto,+Pontho pinthu pyonsene pikhakomerwa na ife pyamala kufudzwa.
12 Imwe Yahova, na nyatwa zonsene zinatigwera, kodi munapitiriza kukhonda kutiphedza?
Kodi munapitiriza kumatama, mbamutisiya kuti tithabuswe kakamwe?+
