2 Abale, muchiyese ngati chimwemwe chenicheni nthawi zonse pamene mukukumana ndi mayesero amitundumitundu.
Zvitorei semufaro wese, hama dzangu, kana muchiwira mumiedzo yakasiyana-siyana,
3 Inu mukudziwa kuti kuyesedwa kwa chikhulupiriro chanu kumabweretsa chipiriro.
muchiziva kuti kuedzwa kwerutendo rwenyu kunobudisa kutsungirira;
4 Chipiriro chiyenera kugwira ntchito yake kuti mukhale okhwima ndi angwiro, osasowa kanthu kalikonse.
asi kutsungirira ngakuve nebasa rakapedzeredzwa, kuti muve vakapedzeredzwa nekukwana, musingatairi pachinhu.
5 Ngati wina pakati panu akusowa nzeru, apemphe kwa Mulungu amene amapereka kwa onse mwaulere ndi mosatonzera, ndipo adzapatsidwa.
Uye kana umwe wenyu achishaiwa uchenjeri, ngaakumbire kuna Mwari, anopavhurira vese, uye asingatuki, zvino achadzipiwa.
6 Koma pamene mupempha, muyenera kukhulupirira osakayika, chifukwa amene amakayika ali ngati mafunde pa nyanja amene amawinduka nakankhika ndi mphepo.
Asi ngaakumbire murutendo, asiri asina chokwadi nechinhu; nokuti asina chokwadi wakaita sefungu regungwa rinosundwa nemhepo richidzungaidzwa.
7 Munthu wotere asayembekezere kulandira kalikonse kuchokera kwa Ambuye.
Nokuti munhu uyu ngaarege kufunga kuti achagamuchira chinhu kuna Ishe.
8 Iyeyu ndi munthu wa mitima iwiri, wosakhazikika pa zimene akuchita.
Murume ane moyo miviri anoshanduka-shanduka panzira dzake dzese.
9 Abale omwe ndi anthu wamba anyadire pamene akwezedwa.
Asi hama yakaderera ngaizvikudze pakukudzwa kwake;
10 Koma olemera anyadire pamene atsitsidwa, chifukwa adzatha ngati duwa lakuthengo.
nemufumi pakuderedzwa kwake; nokuti seruva reuswa achapfuura.
11 Pakuti dzuwa limatuluka nʼkutentha kwake, ndipo limafotetsa zomera. Duwa lake limathothoka ndipo kukongola kwake kumatheratu. Momwemonso munthu wachuma adzazimirira ngakhale atamachitabe malonda ake.
Nokuti zuva rinobuda pamwe nekupisa, ndokuomesa uswa, neruva rahwo rinowira pasi, nekunaka kwechimiro chahwo kwakaparara; saizvozvowo mufumi achabvuruvara panzira dzake.
12 Wodala ndi munthu amene amapirira mʼmayesero, chifukwa akapambana adzalandira chipewa cha ulemerero chimene Mulungu analonjeza anthu amene amamukonda.
Wakaropafadzwa munhu anotsungirira pamuedzo; nokuti kana atendwa, achagamuchira korona yeupenyu, Ishe yaakavimbisa kune vanomuda.
13 Munthu akayesedwa asanene kuti, “Mulungu akundiyesa.” Pakuti Mulungu sangayesedwe ndi choyipa kapena Iyeyo kuyesa munthu aliyense.
Kusava nemunhu anoti achiidzwa ati: Ndinoidzwa naMwari; nokuti Mwari haagoni kuedzwa nechakaipa, naiye amene haaidzi munhu.
14 Koma munthu aliyense amayesedwa akakokedwa ndi zilakolako zake zoyipa ndi kukopedwa nazo.
Asi umwe neumwe anoidzwa, kana achikwehwa nekuchiva kwake pachake, nekukwezwa.
15 Pamenepo, chilakolako chikakula chimabala tchimo; ndipo tchimo likakhwima limabereka imfa.
Ipapo kuchiva kana kwarema kunozvara chivi; nechivi kana chaperedzerwa, chinobereka rufu.
16 Musanyengedwe abale anga okondedwa.
Musanyengerwa, hama dzangu dzinodikanwa.
17 Mphatso iliyonse yabwino ndi yangwiro imachokera kumwamba, kwa Atate mwini kuwala, amene sasintha ngati mthunzi woyendayenda.
Chipo chese chakanaka nechipiwa chese chakaperedzerwa chinobva kumusoro, chichiburuka kubva kuna Baba vezviedza, navo pasina kupinduka, kana mumvuri wekushanduka.
18 Iye anasankha kutibereka ife kudzera mʼmawu a choonadi, kuti pakati pa zolengedwa zake zonse, tikakhale ngati zipatso zoyamba.
Nekuda kwake wakabereka isu neshoko rechokwadi, kuti isu tive sechibereko chekutanga chezvisikwa zvake.
19 Abale anga okondedwa, gwiritsitsani mawu awa: munthu aliyense azifulumira kumva, koma asamafulumire kuyankhula, ndipo asamafulumirenso kupsa mtima.
Naizvozvo, hama dzangu dzinodiwa, munhu umwe neumwe ngaave anokurumidza pakunzwa, anononoka pakutaura, anononoka pakutsamwa;
20 Pakuti mkwiyo wa munthu subweretsa chilungamo chimene amafuna Mulungu.
nokuti kutsamwa kwemunhu hakuiti kururama kwaMwari.
21 Choncho chotsani chizolowezi choyipa ndi khalidwe loyipa pakati panu, ndipo modzichepetsa landirani mawu amene anadzalidwa mwa inu, amene akhoza kukupulumutsani.
Naizvozvo bvisai zvinyangadzo zvese nekuwandisa kwekuipa, mugamuchire nemoyo munyoro shoko rakabatanidzwa pamuri, rinogona kuponesa mweya yenyu.
22 Musamangomvetsera chabe mawu, ndi kumadzinyenga nokha. Chitani zimene mawuwo amanena.
Asi ivai vaiti veshoko, uye kwete vanzwi chete, muchizvinyengera pachenyu.
23 Munthu aliyense amene amangomva mawu koma osachita zimene mawuwo amanena, ali ngati munthu amene amayangʼana nkhope yake pa galasi.
Nokuti kana umwe ari munzwi weshoko uye asiri muiti, iye wakafanana nemunhu anoona chiso chake chechisikirwo muchionioni;
24 Akadziyangʼana amachoka, nthawi yomweyo nʼkuyiwala mmene akuonekera.
nokuti anozviona pachake, ndokuenda, ndokukanganwa pakarepo kuti wanga akadini.
25 Koma munthu amene amayangʼana mwachidwi lamulo langwiro limene limapatsa ufulu ndi kupitiriza kutero, osayiwala chimene wamva koma kuchita adzadalitsika pa zimene amachita.
Asi uyo anotarisisa mumurairo wakaperedzerwa werusununguko ndokurambirirapo, uyo asati ari munzwi anokanganwa asi muiti webasa, uyu acharopafadzwa pakuita kwake.
26 Ngati wina amadziyesa ngati ndi wachipembedzo, koma chonsecho saletsa lilime lake, amadzinyenga yekha ndipo chipembedzo chakecho ndi cha chabechabe.
Kana umwe pakati penyu achiti anotenda, kana asingadzori rurimi rwake, asi achinyengera moyo wake, chitendero cheuyu hachina maturo.
27 Chipembedzo chimene Mulungu Atate athu amachivomereza kuti ndi changwiro ndi chopanda zolakwika ndi ichi: kusamalira ana amasiye ndi akazi amasiye pa mavuto awo, ndi kudzisunga bwino kuopa kudetsedwa ndi dziko lapansi.
Chitendero chakachena chisina kusvibiswa pamberi paMwari naBaba ndechichi: Kufambira nherera nechirikadzi pakutambudzika kwavo, azvichengete asina gwapa kubva kunyika.
