Koma iwo amene salapa, koma akupitirizabe kusangalala kwawo, ali pafupi kufa. 75 Koma iwo amene anapereka ndodo zawo zobiriwira, kupatulapo nsonga zawo, zomwe zinali zouma zokha, ndipo zinali ndi mipata; awa anali abwino nthawi zonse, okhulupirika, ndi 2 owongoka pamaso pa Mulungu: komabe anachimwa pang'ono, chifukwa cha zosangalatsa zawo zopanda pake ndi malingaliro opanda pake omwe anali nawo mkati mwawo. 76 Chifukwa chake ambiri a iwo atamva mawu anga, analapa nthawi yomweyo, nayamba kukhala mu nsanjayo. Komabe ena anakayikira, ndipo ena m'maganizo awo okayikira anawonjezera mikangano. Chifukwa chake pali chiyembekezo chobwerera, chifukwa nthawi zonse anali abwino; koma sadzasunthika kwambiri. 77 Ponena za iwo, potsiriza, amene anapereka ndodo zawo zouma, mitu yawo yokha kupatulapo, zomwe zokha zinali zobiriwira: iwo ndi amene akhulupiriradi Mulungu, koma akhala m'zoipa; koma osapatuka kwa Mulungu: popeza nthawi zonse ankanyamula dzina la Ambuye mofunitsitsa; ndipo analandira mosavuta atumiki a Mulungu m'nyumba zawo. 78 Chifukwa chake atamva izi anabwerera, ndipo mwamsanga analapa, nakhala moyo wolungama wonse. Ndipo ena a iwo anafa: ena anavutika ndi mayesero ambiri, pokumbukira zochita zawo zoipa. 79 Ndipo atamaliza kufotokoza ndodo zake zonse, anandiuza kuti, Pita, ukauze anthu onse kuti alape, kuti athandize kukhala ndi moyo kwa Mulungu: chifukwa Ambuye, atagwidwa ndi chifundo chachikulu, wandituma kulalikira kulapa kwa onse.
80 Ngakhale kwa iwo amene chifukwa cha zochita zawo zoipa, sakuyenera kupeza chipulumutso. Koma Ambuye adzakhala woleza mtima, ndipo adzasunga chiitano chomwe chinaperekedwa ndi Mwana wake. 81 Ndinati kwa iye, Bwana, ndikuyembekeza kuti onse akadzamva izi, adzalapa. Pakuti ndikukhulupirira kuti aliyense wovomereza machimo ake, ndikuyamba kuopa Ambuye, adzabwerera ku kulapa. 82 Iye anati kwa ine, Aliyense amene adzalapa ndi mitima yawo yonse, ndi kudziyeretsa ku zoipa zonse zomwe ndatchula kale, osawonjezerapo kalikonse ku machimo awo, adzalandira kuchokera kwa Ambuye machiritso a zolakwa zawo zakale, ngati sadzakayikira malamulo awa, ndipo adzakhala ndi moyo kwa Mulungu. 83 Koma iwo amene apitiriza kuwonjezera machimo awo, ndikupitirizabe kulankhula ndi zilakolako za dziko lino, adzadziweruza okha ku imfa. Koma yendani mu malamulo awa, ndipo aliyense amene ayenda mu awa, ndi kuwagwiritsa ntchito moyenera, adzakhala ndi moyo kwa Mulungu. 84 Ndipo atandionetsa zonsezi, anati; Ndidzakuwonetsa zina m'masiku ochepa.

Tsopano chipata chimenecho chinali chowala kuposa dzuwa lenilenilo; kotero kuti ndinachita chidwi kwambiri ndi kuwala kwake. 15 Pafupi ndi chipata panali anamwali khumi ndi awiri; mwa anamwali anayi omwe anaima pamakona a chipata, kwa ine anaoneka ngati apamwamba kwambiri, ngakhale ena onse anali ofunika kwambiri; ndipo anaima mbali zinayi za chipata. 16 Chinawonjezeranso chisomo cha anamwali amenewo, kuti anaima awiriawiri, atavala zovala za bafuta, ndi omangika bwino, manja awo amanja ali omasuka, ngati kuti akufuna kunyamula katundu wina; pakuti motero anali okongoletsedwa, ndipo anali okondwa kwambiri komanso okonzeka. 17 Nditaona izi, ndinadabwa ndekha kuona zinthu zazikulu komanso zapamwamba. Ndipo ndinadabwanso ndi nkhani ya anamwali amenewo, kuti anali okongola komanso ofatsa; ndipo anaima molimba mtima komanso mosalekeza, ngati kuti anyamula kumwamba konse. 18 Ndipo pamene ndinali kuganiza motere mumtima mwanga, mbusa anati kwa ine: Ukuganiza chiyani mumtima mwako, ndipo ukuvutika, ndipo ukudzidzaza ndi nkhawa? 19 Usaganize kuti uli wanzeru, ngati kuti uli wanzeru, koma pemphera kwa Ambuye, kuti ukhoze kumvetsa; zomwe zikubwera sungathe kuzimvetsa, koma ukuwona zomwe zili patsogolo pako. 20 Chifukwa chake musadandaule ndi zinthu zomwe simungathe kuziona; koma mvetsetsani zomwe mukuziona. 21 Lekani kukhala ndi chidwi; ndipo ndidzakuwonetsani zonse zomwe ndiyenera kukuuzani; koma choyamba ganizirani zomwe zatsala. 22 Ndipo atandiuza izi, ndinakweza maso anga, ndipo ndinaona amuna asanu ndi mmodzi aatali komanso olemekezeka akubwera; nkhope zawo zonse zinali zofanana; ndipo anaitana gulu lina la amuna; ndipo amene anabwera pamene anaitanidwa analinso aatali komanso onenepa.
23 Ndipo asanu ndi mmodzi aja anawalamula kuti amange nsanja ina pamwamba pa chipatacho. Ndipo nthawi yomweyo panayamba phokoso lalikulu la amuna aja akuthamanga uku ndi uku kuzungulira chipatacho, omwe anasonkhana pamodzi kuti amange nsanjayo. 24 Koma anamwali aja omwe anali pafupi ndi chipata anazindikira kuti kumanga nsanja kunali kofulumira chifukwa cha iwo, ndipo anatambasula manja awo, ngati kuti alandira kanthu kuchokera kwa iwo kuti achite. 25 Pamenepo amuna asanu ndi mmodzi aja analamula kuti atenge miyala kuchokera pamalo enaake akuya, ndi kuikonzekera kumanga nsanja.
