1. Ndipo ana a Israyeli, ndilo khamu lonse, analowa m'cipululu ca Zini mwezi woyamba; ndipo anthu anakhala m'Kadesi; kumeneko anafa Miriamu, naikidwakomweko.
2. Ndipo khamulo linasowa madzi; pamenepo anasonkhana kutsutsana nao Mose ndi Aroni.
3. Ndipo anthu anatsutsana ndi Mose, nanena, nati, Mwenzi titangomwalira muja abale athu anamwalira pamaso pa Yehova!
4. Mwalowa nao bwanji msonkhano wa Yehova m'cipululu muno, kuti tifere mommuno, ife ndi zoweta zathu?
5. Ndipo munatikwezeranji kutiturutsa m'Aigupto, kutilowetsa m'malo oipa ano? Si malo a mbeu awa, kapena mkuyu, kapena mpesa kapena makangaza; ngakhale madzi akumwa palibe.
