Yobu 28
1 Pali mgodi wa siliva ndiponso malo oyengerapo golide.
Kulomgodi wesiliva lendawo lapho okucengwa khona igolide.
2 Chitsulo amachikumba pansi, ndipo mkuwa amawusungunula ku miyala yamkuwa.
Insimbi ithathwa emhlabathini, lethusi lincibilikiswa emanyeleni.
3 Munthu amalowa mu mdima atatenga nyale, amafunafuna miyala mpaka ku malire a mgodiwo, kufuna mkuwa mu mdima wandiweyani.
Umuntu uyawuxotsha umnyama; uguduza ezingoxweni eziphansi kude edinga amanyele emnyameni othe bhuqe.
4 Amakumba njira zapansi mu mgodimo, kutali ndi kumene kumakhala anthu, kumalo kumene phazi la munthu silinapondeko; iye amakhala ali lende pansipo namazungulira uku ndi uku.
Khatshana kwezindawo zabantu ugebha umgodi, ezindaweni lapho okungafiki nyawo lwamuntu; khatshana kwabantu uyalenga, azunguzeke.
5 Nthaka, imene imatulutsa zakudya, kunsi kwake kumachita ngati kwasandulizika ndi moto;
Umhlaba, okuphuma kuwo ukudla, uyaguquka ngaphansi ingathi utshiswe ngomlilo;
6 miyala ya safiro imachokera mʼmatanthwe ake, ndipo mʼfumbi lake mumakhala miyala yagolide.
amasafire amatshe amahle ayaphuma emadwaleni, uthuli lwawo lugcwele igolide.
7 Palibe mbalame yodya zinzake imene imadziwa njira yobisikayi, palibe kamtema amene anayiona.
Kakukho nyoni edla inyama eyaziyo leyondlela efihlekileyo, kakulalihlo laluphi ukhozi oselwake lwayibona.
8 Zirombo zolusa sizipondamo mʼnjiramo, ndipo mkango sudzeranso mʼmenemo.
Izilo ezizithembileyo kazilubeki unyawo kuyo, njalo kakulasilwane esizingela khona.
9 Munthu amaphwanya matanthwe olimba, ndipo amagubuduza mapiri kuyambira mʼtsinde.
Isandla somuntu yiso esihlasela idwala eliyinsengetshe siveze obala impande zezintaba.
10 Amabowola njira mʼmatanthwewo; ndipo amaona chuma chonse cha mʼphirimo.
Uyaligubha idwala angene; ilihlo lakhe liwabone wonke amagugu alo.
11 Amaletsa mitsinje ya pansipo kuti isayendenso, motero amatulutsira poyera zinthu zobisika.
Uyathungatha lapho okudabuka khona imifula aveze obala izinto ezifihlekileyo.
12 “Koma nzeru zingapezeke kuti? Kodi kumvetsa zinthu kumakhala kuti?
Kodwa ukuhlakanipha kungafunyanwa ngaphi na? Kuhlala ngaphi na ukuzwisisa?
13 Munthu sadziwa kufunika kwake kwa nzeruzo; nzeruyo sipezeka pa dziko lino la anthu amoyo.
Umuntu kakuzwisisi ukuqakatheka kwakho; kakufunyanwa elizweni labaphilayo.
14 Phompho likuti, ‘Sizipezeka mwa ine muno.’ Nyanja ikuti, ‘Mwa ine munonso ayi.’
Phansi ekujuleni kuthi, “Kakukho kimi”; ulwandle luthi, “Kangilakho mina.”
15 Nzeru sungazigule ndi golide wabwino kwambiri, mtengo wake sungawuyerekeze ndi siliva wambiri.
Kungeke kwathengwa ngegolide elicolekileyo, njalo lentengo yakho ingeke yalinganiswa ngesiliva.
16 Nzeru singagulidwe ndi golide wa ku Ofiri, kapena ndi miyala ya onikisi kapena ya safiro.
Kungeke kwathengwa ngegolide lase-Ofiri, loba nge-onikisi kumbe isafire.
17 Nzeru sungayiyerekeze ndi golide kapena mwala wa galasi, sungayigule ndi zokometsera zagolide.
Kungazake kulinganiswe legolide loba amatshe akhazimulayo, njalo kakuzuzwa ngemiceciso yegolide.
18 Miyala ya korali ndi krisitali siyoyeneranso ndi kuyitchula nʼkomwe; mtengo wa nzeru ndi woposa miyala ya rubi.
Amatshe amahle ekhorali lejaspa lawo kawabalwa lapha; intengo yokuhlakanipha ingaphezulu kwamarubhi.
19 Nzeru sungayiyerekeze ndi miyala ya topazi ya ku Kusi; nzeru singagulidwe ndi golide wabwino kwambiri.
Ithophazi yaseKhushi ngeke ilinganiswe lakho; ngeke kuthengwe langegolide elicolekileyo.
20 “Kodi tsono nzeru zimachokera kuti? Kodi kumvetsa zinthu kumakhala kuti?
Pho kuvela ngaphi ukuhlakanipha na? Kuhlala ngaphi ukuzwisisa?
21 Malo ake ndi obisika kwa zamoyo zonse, ndi obisika ngakhale kwa mbalame zamlengalenga.
Kufihliwe emehlweni ento yonke ephilayo, kucatshisiwe lakuzo izinyoni zasemoyeni.
22 Chiwonongeko ndi imfa zikuti, ‘Tangomva mphekesera chabe ya zimenezo!’
INcithakalo loKufa kuthi, “Amahungahunga akho yiwo kuphela esiwezwayo.”
23 Mulungu yekha ndiye amadziwa njira yake yopita kumeneko, ndipo Iye yekha amadziwa kumene nzeru imakhala,
UNkulunkulu uyayizwisisa indlela yakho njalo nguye yedwa okwaziyo lapho okuhlala khona,
24 pakuti Iye amayangʼana mpaka ku malekezero a dziko lapansi ndipo amaona zonse za kunsi kwa thambo.
ngoba uyayikhangela imikhawulo yomhlaba akubone konke okungaphansi kwamazulu.
25 Iye atapatsa mphepo mphamvu zake, nayeza kuzama kwa nyanja,
Wathi emisa umfutho womoya, elinganisa isimo samanzi,
26 atakhazikitsa lamulo loti mvula izigwa ndi kukonza njira ya chingʼaningʼani cha bingu,
wathi ebeka umthetho wezulu elinayo lendlela yezulu elilesiphepho,
27 pamenepo ndi pamene anayangʼana nzeruzo naziyeza mtengo wake; nazikhazikitsa ndi kuzisanthula bwino lomwe.
wasekukhangela ukuhlakanipha wakuhlola butsha; wakukholwa wakuqinisa, wakulinga ukuthi kuqinile.
28 Ndipo Iye anati kwa munthu, ‘Taonani, kuopa Ambuye, ndiye nzeru zimenezo ndipo kuthawa zoyipa ndiye kumvetsa zinthu kumeneko.’”
Wathi emuntwini, “Ukumesaba uThixo yikho ukuhlakanipha, lokuxwaya ububi yikho ukuzwisisa.”
