Please note that singing, dancing, and acting should be used in instructing the girl. You can use the<br />
Bible but not the instructresses' booklet.<br />

alangizi muyenera kukonza nyimbo zambiri ngakhalenso masewero ndi mau<br />
ochokera mBukhu Loyera kuti chinamwali chikhale chopambana kwa namwali<br />
(anamwali).<br />
The night's programme may be as follows. This is just one example of chinamwali. The instructresses<br />
should come up with many songs and drama with words from the Scripture to make the rite<br />
more meaningful and interesting to the girls.<br />
Machembere ayimbe nyimbo (ziwiri ngakhale zitatu) kuti namwali adziwe<br />
chimene anthu abwerera, monga,<br />
The women should sing two or three songs concerning the purpose for the vigil, such as,<br />
1. M'Baibulo, m 'Baibulo<br />

Machembere aziimba akumuzungulira mtsikana atakhala. Ena a amayiwo atanyamula<br />

The women should be singing while going round in a circle with the initiate seated. Some of the<br />
women can hold a Chichewa Bible in their hands. They show it to the initiate. The meaning is that<br />
their counsel is from the Word of God, who is our Creator. It is God's counsel which we must<br />
follow.<br />

Azizungulira, koma ena atayerekeza kubvala mwele, koma osabvula zobvala<br />
zawo.<br />
Atanthauza kuti onse abwera chifukwa cha mtsikana amene wakula. 'Tsopanotu<br />
walowa mbungwe la anthu akulu.'<br />
