1 E te Atua, whakaritea taku whakawa, whakatikaia aku korero ki te iwi atuakore: whakaorangia ahau i te tangata tinihanga e mahi nei i te he.
Onetsani kusalakwa kwanga Inu Mulungu; ndipo mundinenere mlandu wanga kutsutsana ndi mtundu wosapembedza; mundilanditse mʼmanja mwa achinyengo ndi anthu oyipa.
2 Ko koe hoki te Atua o toku kaha: he aha ahau ka panga nei e koe? He aha ahau ka haere pouri ai i te tukino a te hoariri?
Pajatu Inu Mulungu ndinu mphamvu zanga. Nʼchifukwa chiyani mwandikana ine? Nʼchifukwa chiyani ndiyenera kuyenda ndikulira, woponderezedwa ndi mdani?
3 Tukua mai tou marama me tou pono hei arahi i ahau: hei kawe i ahau ki tou maunga tapu, ki ou tapenakara.
Tumizani kuwunika kwanu ndi choonadi chanu kuti zinditsogolere; mulole kuti zindifikitse ku phiri lanu loyera, kumalo kumene inu mumakhala.
4 A ka haere ahau ki te aata a te Atua, ki te Atua, ki toku hari nui: ae, ka whakamoemiti ki a koe, e te Atua, e toku Atua, i runga i te hapa.
Ndipo ndidzapita ku guwa lansembe la Mulungu, kwa Mulungu, chimwemwe changa ndi chikondwerero changa. Ndidzakutamandani ndi zeze, Inu Mulungu wanga.
5 He aha koe i piko ai, e toku wairua? He aha koe i ohorere ai i roto i ahau? Tumanako ki te Atua: tera ano ahau e whakawhetai ki a ia, ko te ora nei ia o toku mata, ko toku Atua.
Nʼchifukwa chiyani uli ndi chisoni iwe moyo wanga? Nʼchifukwa chiyani wakhumudwa iwe mʼkati mwanga? Khulupirira Mulungu, pakuti ndidzamutamandabe Iye, Mpulumutsi wanga ndi Mulungu wanga.
