Miyambo 17
1 Nʼkwabwino kudya mkute koma pali mtendere, kuposa kuchita madyerero mʼnyumba mʼmene muli mikangano.
Ucezu olomileyo lokuthula kanye lalo lungcono kulendlu egcwele imihlatshelo lengxabano.
2 Kapolo wanzeru adzalamulira mwana wochititsa manyazi, ndipo kapoloyo adzagawana nawo cholowa ngati mmodzi mwa abale.
Inceku ehlakaniphileyo izabusa phezu kwendodana eyangisayo, yehlukanise ilifa phakathi kwezelamani.
3 Siliva amamuyesa mʼngʼanjo ndipo golide amamuyesa mʼngʼanjo, koma Yehova amayesa mitima.
Imbiza yokuncibilikisa ngeyesiliva, lesithando ngesegolide, kodwa iNkosi ihlola izinhliziyo.
4 Munthu woyipa amamvera malangizo oyipa; munthu wabodza amatchera khutu mawu osakaza.
Umenzi wobubi ulalela indebe ekhohlakeleyo; umqambimanga ubeka indlebe olimini oluchithayo.
5 Iye amene amalalatira mʼmphawi amanyoza mlengi wake; amene amakondwerera tsoka la mnzake sadzakhala osalangidwa.
Oklolodela umyanga uthuka uMenzi wakhe; othokoza encithakalweni kayikuba msulwa.
6 Zidzukulu ndiye ulemu wa anthu okalamba, ndipo makolo ndiye ulemerero wa ana.
Abantwana babantwana bangumqhele wabadala, lodumo lwabantwana ngoyise.
7 Kuyankhula bwino sikuyenerana ndi chitsiru, nanji kuyankhula bodza kungayenerane kodi ndi mfumu?
Indebe elobungcwethi kayisifanelanga isithutha; kakhulu kangakanani indebe yamanga isiphathamandla.
8 Chiphuphu chili ngati mankhwala amwayi kwa wochiperekayo; kulikonse kumene amapita zinthu zimamuyendera.
Isipho siyilitshe eliligugu emehlweni abaniniso; loba ngaphi esiphendukela khona sizaphumelela.
9 Iye amene amakhululukira zolakwa za wina, amafunitsitsa chikondi; wobwerezabwereza nkhani amapha chibwenzi.
Osibekela isiphambeko udinga uthando, kodwa ophindaphinda udaba wehlukanisa umngane oseduze.
10 Munthu wanzeru amamva kamodzi kokha, munthu wopanda nzeru ndi samvamkunkhu.
Ukukhuza kuyajula koqedisisayo kulokutshaya isithutha ngokulikhulu.
11 Munthu woyipa maganizo ake ali pa kuwukira basi; ndipo bwana adzamutumizira wamthenga wankhanza.
Omubi udinga ububi kuphela, kodwa isithunywa esilesihluku sizathunyelwa kuye.
12 Nʼkwabwino kukumana ndi chimbalangondo cholandidwa ana ake kusiyana ndi kukumana ndi chitsiru mu uchitsiru wake.
Kakuthi ibhere elifelwe yimidlwane lihlangane lomuntu, kodwa hatshi isithutha ebuthutheni baso.
13 Ngati munthu abwezera choyipa kusinthana ndi zabwino, ndiye choyipa sichidzachoka mʼnyumba mwake.
Ophindisela okubi esikhundleni sokuhle, ububi kabuyikusuka endlini yakhe.
14 Chiyambi cha mikangano chili ngati kukhamulira madzi, choncho uzichokapo mkangano usanayambe.
Ukuqala kwenkani kunjengokuvulela amanzi; ngakho yekela ingxabano ingakazivezi.
15 Kumasula munthu wolakwa kapena kumanga munthu wosalakwa, zonse ziwirizi Yehova zimamunyansa.
Olungisisa omubi lolahla olungileyo bayisinengiso eNkosini, ngitsho bobabili.
16 Ndalama zogulira nzeru zili ndi phindu lanji mʼmanja mwa chitsiru poti iyeyo mutu wake sumayenda bwino?
Kungani kulemali yokuthenga inhlakanipho esandleni sesithutha, lokhu singelangqondo?
17 Bwenzi lako limakukonda nthawi zonse, ndipo mʼbale wako anabadwa kuti azikuthandiza pamavuto.
Umngane uyathanda ngaso sonke isikhathi, lomzalwane uzalelwa inhlupheko.
18 Munthu wopanda nzeru amavomereza zopereka chikole ndipo iyeyo amasanduka chikole cha mnansi wake.
Umuntu oswela ingqondo uyabambana ngezandla ukuba yisibambiso phambi kukamakhelwane wakhe.
19 Wokonda zolakwa amakonda mkangano, ndipo wokonda kuyankhula zonyada amadziyitanira chiwonongeko.
Othanda isiphambeko uthanda inkani; ophakamisa umnyango wakhe udinga ukubhujiswa.
20 Munthu wamtima woyipa zinthu sizimuyendera bwino; ndipo woyankhula zachinyengo amagwa mʼmavuto.
Olenhliziyo ephambeneyo katholi okuhle, lophambene ngolimi uwela ebubini.
21 Mwana wopusa amamvetsa chisoni abambo ake, abambo a chitsiru sakhala ndi chimwemwe.
Ozala isithutha, sizakuba lusizi kuye; loyise wesithutha kathokozi.
22 Mtima wosangalala uli ngati mankhwala abwino, koma mtima wokhumudwa umafowoketsa mafupa.
Inhliziyo ethokozayo yenza kuhle njengomuthi, kodwa umoya owephukileyo womisa amathambo.
23 Munthu woyipa amalandira chiphuphu chamseri kuti apotoze chiweruzo cholungama.
Omubi uthatha isipho esifubeni ukuphambula izindlela zesahlulelo.
24 Munthu wozindikira zinthu, maso ake amakhala pa nzeru, koma chitsiru chimwazamwaza maso ake pa dziko lonse lapansi.
Inhlakanipho iphambi koqedisisayo, kodwa amehlo esithutha asekucineni komhlaba.
25 Mwana wopusa amamvetsa chisoni abambo ake ndipo amapweteketsa mtima amayi ake.
Indodana eyisiwula ilusizi kuyise, iyikubaba kowayizalayo.
26 Sibwino kulipitsa munthu wosalakwa, kapena kulanga anthu osalakwa.
Ukuhlawulisa olungileyo lakho kakulunganga, lokutshaya iziphathamandla ngenxa yobuqotho.
27 Munthu wosunga pakamwa ndiye wodziwa zinthu, ndipo wodekha mtima ndiye womvetsa bwino zinthu.
Owazi ulwazi ugodla amazwi akhe; umuntu oqedisisayo ulomoya opholileyo.
28 Ngakhale chitsiru chimakhala ngati chanzeru chikakhala chete; ndipo chikatseka pakamwa chimakhala ngati munthu wochenjera.
Isithutha esithuleyo laso sithiwa sihlakaniphile; ovala indebe zakhe uthiwa uyaqedisisa.
