13 Kuopa Yehova ndiko kudana ndi zoyipa.

Ine ndimadana ndi kunyada, kudzitama,

26 Kwiyani koma musachimwe. Dzuwa lisalowe mukanali chikwiyire. 27 Musamupatse mpata Satana.

20 Inu munafuna kundichitira zoyipa, koma Mulungu anasandutsa zoyipazo kuti zikhale zabwino kuti zikwaniritsidwe zimene zikuchitika panozi, zopulumutsa miyoyo yambiri.

21 Choncho chotsani chizolowezi choyipa ndi khalidwe loyipa pakati panu, ndipo modzichepetsa landirani mawu amene anadzalidwa mwa inu, amene akhoza kukupulumutsani.

9 Koma tikavomereza machimo athu, Iye ndi wokhulupirika ndi wolungama ndipo adzatikhululukira machimo athu, nadzatiyeretsa ndi kutichotsera chosalungama chilichonse.

20 Anapitiriza kuti, "Chimene chichokera mwa munthu ndi chomwe chimamudetsa. 21 Pakuti kuchokera mʼkati mwa mitima ya anthu, mumatuluka maganizo oyipa, chiwerewere, kuba, kupha, chigololo, 22 dyera, nkhwidzi, chinyengo, machitidwe onyansa, kaduka, chipongwe, kudzikuza ndi kupusa. 23 Zoyipa zonsezi zimatuluka mʼkati ndipo zimadetsa munthu."

12 Udani umawutsa mikangano,

koma chikondi chimaphimba zolakwa zonse.

9 "Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, ‘Muziweruza molungama; muzichitirana chifundo ndi kumverana chisoni. 10 Musamazunze akazi amasiye kapena ana amasiye, alendo kapena osauka. Musamaganizirane zoyipa mʼmitima mwanu.’
