< Mlaliki 3 >
1 Chinthu chilichonse chili ndi nthawi yake, ndi nyengo yake yomwe anayika Mulungu:
A IA he manawa no na mea a pau, a he wa hoi no na hana a pau, malalo iho o ka lani.
2 Nthawi yobadwa ndi nthawi yomwalira, nthawi yodzala ndi nthawi yokolola.
He wa e hanau ai, A he wa hoi e make ai; He wa e kanu ai, A he wa hoi e uhuki ai i ka mea i kanuia;
3 Nthawi yakupha ndi nthawi yochiritsa, nthawi yogwetsa ndi nthawi yomanga.
He wa e pepehi ai, A he wa hoi e hoola ai; He wa e wawahi ai, A he wa hoi e kukulu iho ai;
4 Nthawi yomva chisoni ndi nthawi yosangalala, nthawi yolira maliro ndi nthawi yovina.
He wa e uwe ai, A he wa hoi e akaaka ai; He wa e kanikau ai, A he wa hoi e haa ai;
5 Nthawi yotaya miyala ndi nthawi yokundika miyala, nthawi yokumbatirana ndi nthawi yoleka kukumbatirana.
He wa e hoolei aku ai i na pohaku, A he wa hoi e hoiliili ai i na pohaku; He wa e apo ai, A he wa e apo ole ai.
6 Nthawi yofunafuna ndi nthawi yoleka kufunafuna, nthawi yosunga ndi nthawi yotaya.
He wa e imi ai, A he wa hoi e lilo aku ai; He wa e malama'i, A he wa hoi e hoolei wale aku ai.
7 Nthawi yongʼamba ndi nthawi yosoka, nthawi yokhala chete ndi nthawi yoyankhula.
He wa e haehae aku ai, A he wa hoi e humuhumu iho ai; He wa e hamau ai, A he wa hoi e olelo ai.
8 Nthawi yokondana ndi nthawi yodana, nthawi ya nkhondo ndi nthawi ya mtendere.
He wa e aloha aku ai, A he wa hoi e inaina aku ai; He wa kaua, A he wa maluhia.
9 Kodi wantchito amapeza phindu lanji pa ntchito yake yolemetsa?
Heaha ka uku a ka mea hana i ka mea ana i hana'i?
10 Ine ndinaona chipsinjo chimene Mulungu anayika pa anthu.
Ua ike au i ka hana a ke Akua i haawi mai ai i na keiki a kanaka e hana'i.
11 Iye anapanga chinthu chilichonse kuti chikhale chabwino pa nthawi yake. Anayika nzeru zamuyaya mʼmitima ya anthu; komabe anthuwo sangathe kuzindikira zomwe Mulungu wachita kuyambira pa chiyambi mpaka chimaliziro.
Ua hana mai la oia i na mea a pau he maikai i kona manawa; a hookomo no hoi oia i ko ke ao nei iloko o ko lakou mau naau, i ike ole ke kanaka i ka hana a ke Akua i hana'i, mai ka mua a hiki i ka hope.
12 Ine ndikudziwa kuti palibenso kanthu kabwino kwa anthu kopambana kusangalala ndi kuchita zabwino pamene ali ndi moyo.
Ua ike au, aohe mea maikai iloko o ia mau mea, ke ole e hauoli [ke kanaka, ] a e hana maikai i kona ola ana.
13 Ndi mphatso ya Mulungu kwa munthu kuti azidya, azimwa ndi kumakondwera ndi ntchito zake zolemetsa.
A o kela kanaka keia kanaka e ai, a e inu hoi, a e ike i ka maikai o kana hana a pau, oia ka haawina a ke Akua.
14 Ndikudziwa kuti chilichonse chimene Mulungu amachita chidzakhala mpaka muyaya; palibe zimene zingawonjezedwe kapena kuchotsedwa. Mulungu amazichita kuti anthu azimuopa.
Ua ike au, o na mea a pau a ke Akua i hana'i, e mau loa no ia, aole e hiki i kekahi ke hoonui, aole e hiki i kekahi he hooemi; a na ke Akua no i hana mai i makau lakou imua ona.
15 Chilichonse chimene chilipo chinalipo kale, ndipo chimene chidzakhalapo chinalipo poyamba; Mulungu amabwezanso zakale zimene zinapita kuti zichitikenso.
O ka mea mamua, oia ka mea e noho nei, a o ka mea e hiki mai ana, oia na mea mamua aku; a imi mai ke Akua i ke ano o na mea i hala aku nei.
16 Ndipo ndinaona chinthu chinanso pansi pano: ku malo achiweruzo, kuyipa mtima kuli komweko, ku malo achilungamo, kuyipa mtima kuli komweko.
A ike aku la au malalo iho o ka la i kahi e ahaolelo ai, a malaila no ka hewa; a i kahi o ka pono, a malaila hoi ka hana ino.
17 Ndinalingalira mu mtima mwanga kuti; “Mulungu adzaweruza olungama pamodzi ndi oyipa omwe, pakuti anayika nthawi yochitikira chinthu chilichonse, nthawi ya ntchito iliyonse.”
I iho la au iloko o ko'u naau, e hookolokolo ana ke Akua i ka poe pono, a me ka poe hewa; no ka mea, oia ka wa no na mea a pau a me na hana a pau.
18 Ndinalingaliranso kuti, “Kunena za anthu, Mulungu amawayesa ndi cholinga choti awaonetse kuti iwo ali ngati nyama.
I iho la au iloko o ko'u naau no na keiki a kanaka, i hoao ke Akua ia lakou i ike lakou ia lakou iho, he poe holoholona.
19 Zimene zimachitikira munthu, zomwezonso zimachitikira nyama; chinthu chimodzi chomwecho chimachitikira onse: Monga munthu amafa momwemonso nyama imafa. Zonsezi zimapuma mpweya umodzimodzi omwewo; munthu saposa nyama. Zonsezi ndi zopandapake.
No ka mea, o ka mea e hiki mai i na keiki a kanaka, e hiki mai no ia i na holoholona, hookahi mea ia lakou; e like me ka make ana o kela, pela no ka make ana o keia, hookahi hanu ia lakou a pau; aohe mea o ke kanaka i oi aku mamua o ka holoholona; no ka mea, ua pau na mea i ka lapuwale.
20 Zonse zimapita kumodzimodzi; zonsezi zimachokera ku fumbi, ndipo zimabwereranso ku fumbi komweko.
Ua hele lakou a pau i kahi hookahi; no ka lepo mai lakou a pau, a e hoi hou aku ana lakou i ka lepo.
21 Kodi ndani amene amadziwa ngati mzimu wa munthu umakwera kumwamba, ndipo mzimu wa nyama umatsikira kunsi kwa dziko?”
Owai ka mea ike i ke ea o na keiki a kanaka, ka mea i pii iluna, a me ke ea o na holoholona ka mea i iho ilalo i ka honua?
22 Kotero ndinaona kuti palibe chinthu chabwino kwa munthu kuposa kuti munthu azisangalala ndi ntchito yake, pakuti ichi ndiye chake chenicheni. Pakuti ndani amene angamubweretse kuti adzaone zimene zidzamuchitikira iye akadzamwalira?
No ia mea, ike iho la au, aohe mea maikai e ae i ke kanaka, o ka hauoli wale no i kana hana ana; no ka mea, oia kona haawina. A owai ka mea e hoike ia ia i ka mea e hiki mai ana mahope ona?
