Mlaliki 2
1 Ine ndinaganiza mu mtima mwanga, “Tsopano ndiyese zosangalatsa kuti ndipeze zomwe ndi zabwino.” Koma izi zinaonekanso kuti ndi zopandapake.
Ndakati mumwoyo mangu, “Uya zvino, ndichakuedza nomufaro kuti uzive chakanaka.” Asi naizvozviwo hazvina maturo.
2 “Kuseka,” ndinati, “imeneyo ndi misala. Ndipo kodi chisangalalo chimabweretsa phindu lanji?”
Ndakati, “Kuseka upenzi, uyezve mafaro anobatsireiko?”
3 Ndinayesa kudzisangalatsa ndi vinyo, koma umenewu unali uchitsiru, pamenepo nʼkuti maganizo anga akutsogozedwa ndi nzeru. Ine ndinkati mwina kapena njira yotero nʼkukhala yopambana, imene anthu amatsata pofuna kusangalala pa masiku owerengeka a moyo wawo.
Ndakaedza kuzvifadza newaini, uye kumbundikira upenzi, pfungwa dzangu dzichinditungamirira nouchenjeri. Ndaida kuona kuti chii chakafanira kuti vanhu vaite pasi pedenga mumazuva mashoma oupenyu hwavo.
4 Ndinagwira ntchito zikuluzikulu: Ndinadzimangira nyumba ndi kuwoka mipesa.
Ndakaita mabasa makuru; ndakazvivakira dzimba ndikazvirimira minda yemizambiringa.
5 Ndinalima madimba ndi minda yamitengo; ndipo ndinadzalamo mitengo ya zipatso za mitundu yonse.
Ndakazvigadzirira mapindu, neminda yemiti uye ndikasimamo miti yemichero yendudzi dzose.
6 Ndinakumba mayiwe osungiramo madzi woti ndizithirira minda ya mitengo yodzalidwa ija.
Ndakavaka madhamu kuti ndidiridzire sango remiti yaikura.
7 Ndinagula akapolo aamuna ndi akapolo aakazi, ndiponso ndinali ndi akapolo ena omwe anabadwira mʼnyumba mwanga. Ndinalinso ndi ngʼombe ndi nkhosa zambiri kupambana aliyense mu Yerusalemu amene analipo ndisanabadwe.
Ndakatenga varandarume navarandakadzi, uye ndaiva navamwe varanda vakaberekerwa mumba mangu. Ndaivawo nepfuma zhinji yemombe namakwai, kupfuura ani zvake akanditangira kuvapo paJerusarema.
8 Ndinadzikundikira siliva ndi golide, ndiponso chuma chochokera kwa mafumu ndi madera awo. Ndinali ndi amuna ndi akazi oyimba ndiponso azikazi; zinthu zokondweretsa mtima wa munthu.
Ndakazviunganidzira sirivha negoridhe, uye nepfuma yamadzimambo uye neyamatunhu. Ndakatsvaka vaimbi, varume navakadzi, uye nezviridzwa, nezvinofadza vanakomana vavanhu, navarongowo vazhinji.
9 Ndinali munthu wotchuka kupambana wina aliyense mu Yerusalemu amene analipo ndisanabadwe. Mu zonsezi nzeru zanga zinali nane.
Saka ndakava mukuru kwazvo kupfuura ani zvake akanditangira paJerusarema. Mune izvi zvose uchenjeri hwangu hwakaramba huneni.
10 Sindinadzimane chilichonse chimene maso anga anachifuna; mtima wanga sindinawumane zokondweretsa. Mtima wanga unakondwera ndi ntchito yanga yonse, ndipo iyi ndiyo inali mphotho ya ntchito zanga zonse zolemetsa.
Handina kuzvirambidza zvinhu zvaidiwa nameso angu, handina kurambidza mwoyo wangu mufaro. Mwoyo wangu wakafadzwa nebasa rangu rose, uye uyu ndiwo wakava mubayiro wokushanda kwangu kwose.
11 Koma pamene ndinayamba kuyangʼanayangʼana zonse zimene ndinachita ndi manja anga, ndi zimene ndinazivutikira kuti ndizipeze, zonsezi zinali zopandapake; kungodzivuta chabe, palibe chomwe ndinapindula pansi pano.
Asi pandakaongorora mabasa ose akanga aitwa namaoko angu uye zvandakatambudzikira kuti ndiwane, zvose zvakanga zvisina maturo, kwaingova kudzingana nemhepo; hapana chaibatsira pasi pezuva.
12 Kenaka maganizo anga anayamba kulingalira zakuti nzeru nʼchiyani, komanso kuti misala ndi uchitsiru nʼchiyani. Kodi munthu wodzalowa ufumu tsopanoyo angachite chiyani choposa chimene chinachitidwa kale?
Naizvozvo ndakapindura pfungwa dzangu kuti ndicherechedze uchenjeri, urema uye noupenzi. Chii chimwe chingaitwa nomunhu anotevera mumwe paumambo kunze kwezvakatoitwa kare?
13 Ndinaona kuti nzeru ndi yopambana uchitsiru, monga momwe kuwala kumapambanira mdima.
Ndakaona kuti uchenjeri huri nani pano upenzi, sezvo chiedza chiri nani pane rima.
14 Munthu wanzeru amayenda maso ali patsogolo, pamene chitsiru chimayenda mʼchimbulimbuli; koma ndinazindikira kuti chomwe chimawachitikira onsewo ndi chimodzi.
Meso omunhu akachenjera ari mumusoro make, nokuno rumwe rutivi benzi richifamba murima; asi ndakasvika pakuziva kuti vose vanowirwa nedambudziko rimwe chete.
15 Pamenepo ndinalingalira mu mtima mwanga, “Zochitikira chitsiru zidzandichitikiranso ine. Nanga tsono phindu langa nʼchiyani pakukhala wanzeru?” Ndinati mu mtima mwanga, “Ichinso ndi chopandapake.”
Ipapo ndakafunga mumwoyo mangu ndikati, “Magumo ebenzi achandiwanawo neni. Chii zvino chandinowana pakuva munhu akachenjera?” Ndakati mumwoyo mangu, “Izviwo hazvina maturo.”
16 Pakuti munthu wanzeru, pamodzinso ndi chitsiru sadzakumbukiridwa nthawi yayitali; mʼmasiku amʼtsogolo awiriwo adzayiwalika. Mmene chimafera chitsiru ndi mmenenso amafera wanzeru!
Nokuti munhu akachenjera akafanana nebenzi pakusarangarirwa; mumazuva anouya vose vachazokanganwikwa. Kufanana nebenzi, akachenjera anofanira kufawo!
17 Kotero ndinadana nawo moyo chifukwa ntchito zimene zimagwiridwa pansi pano ndi zosautsa kwa ine. Ntchito zonsezo ndi zopandapake, nʼkungodzivuta chabe.
Saka ndakavenga upenyu, nokuti basa rinoitwa pasi pezuva rakandirwadza kwazvo. Zvose hazvo hazvina maturo, kudzingana nemhepo.
18 Ine ndinadana nazo ntchito zonse zimene ndinazigwira pansi pano, chifukwa ndinayenera kudzazisiyira wina amene adzalowa mʼmalo mwanga.
Ndakavenga zvinhu zvose zvandakashingairira pasi pezuva, nokuti ndinofanira kuzvisiyira anonditevera.
19 Ndipo ndani amadziwa kuti munthu ameneyo adzakhala wanzeru kapena chitsiru? Komabe munthuyo adzakhala wolamulira zonse zimene ndinazichita pansi pano mwa nzeru zanga. Izinso ndi zopandapake.
Uye ndiani angaziva kana achizova akachenjera kana benzi? Kunyange zvakadaro achava nesimba pamusoro pebasa rose randakatamburira nesimba nounyanzvi hwangu pasi pezuva. Izviwo hazvina maturo.
20 Motero ndinayamba kutaya mtima chifukwa cha ntchito zonse zimene ndinazivutikira pansi pano.
Saka mwoyo wangu wakatanga kushungurudzika pamusoro pokutambudzika nokushanda kwangu pasi pezuva.
21 Pakuti munthu atha kugwira ntchito yake mwanzeru, chidziwitso ndi luntha, ndipo kenaka nʼkusiyira wina amene sanakhetserepo thukuta. Izinso ndi zopandapake ndiponso tsoka lalikulu.
Nokuti munhu angaite basa rake nouchenjeri, noruzivo uye nounyanzvi, zvino ipapo ozofanira kusiya zvose zvaanazvo kuno mumwe asina kuzvishandira. Naizvozviwo hazvina maturo uye chinhu chakaipa kwazvo.
22 Kodi munthu amapindulanji pa ntchito zonse zolemetsa ndi zodetsa nkhawa zimene amazichita pansi pano?
Munhu anowanei pakushanda kwose nokushingaira kwomwoyo nokuda kwokushanda kwake pasi pezuva?
23 Masiku ake onse amakhala achisoni, ntchito yake imakhala yovuta; ngakhale usiku womwe, mtima wake supumula. Izinso ndi zopandapake.
Mazuva ake ose basa rake kurwadziwa nokusuwa; kunyange nousiku pfungwa dzake hadzizorori. Naizvozviwo hazvina maturo.
24 Kwa munthu palibe chabwino china kuposa kudya, kumwa ndi kukondwerera ntchito zake. Izinso ndaona kuti ndi zochokera kwa Mulungu,
Munhu haana chaangaita chinopfuura kudya nokunwa kuti awane kugutswa pakushanda kwake. Naizvozviwo, ndinoona kuti zvinobva muruoko rwaMwari,
25 pakuti popanda Iye, ndani angadye ndi kupeza chisangalalo?
nokuti kana pasina iye, ndiani angadya kana kuwana mufaro?
26 Munthu amene amakondweretsa Mulungu, Mulunguyo amamusandutsa wanzeru, wozindikira ndi wachisangalalo, koma wochimwa, Mulungu amamupatsa ntchito yosonkhanitsa ndi kusunga chuma kuti adzachipereke kwa amene Mulunguyo amakondwera naye. Izinso ndi zopandapake, nʼkungodzivuta chabe.
Kuno munhu anomufadza, Mwari anopa uchenjeri, nezivo nomufaro asi kuno mutadzi, anopa basa rokuunganidza nokuchengetera upfumi kuti agozvipa uyo anofadza Mwari. Naizvozviwo hazvina maturo, kudzingana nemhepo.
