Miyambo 19
1 Ndi wabwino munthu wosauka amene amayenda mu ungwiro, aposa munthu wopusa woyankhula zokhota.
Ungcono umyanga ohamba ngobuqotho kulesiwula esilezindebe ezingcolileyo.
2 Si bwino kuti munthu akhale wopanda nzeru; ndipo munthu woyenda mofulumira amaphonya njira.
Kakulunganga ukutshiseka kodwa ungelalwazi, loba ukuwalazela uze ulahlekelwe yindlela.
3 Uchitsiru wa munthu umamubweretsera zovuta, mtima wake umakwiyira Yehova.
Ubuwula bomuntu budiliza impilo yakhe, ikanti inhliziyo yakhe ithukuthelela uThixo.
4 Chuma chimachulukitsa abwenzi; koma munthu wosauka bwenzi lake limamuthawa.
Inotho iletha abangane abanengi, kodwa umyanga ufulathelwa ngumngane wakhe weduze.
5 Mboni yonama sidzalephera kulangidwa; ndipo iye amene amanena mabodza sadzapulumuka.
Umfakazi wamanga uthola isijeziso, lalowo ohutshuza amanga kayikuphunyuka.
6 Anthu ambiri amafuna munthu wopatsa kuti awakomere mtima, ndipo munthu amene amapereka mphatso ndi bwenzi la munthu aliyense.
Banengi abazincengela ukuthandwa ngumbusi, njalo wonke umuntu ngumngane walowo ophanayo.
7 Ngati munthu wosauka abale ake omwe amadana naye, nanji abwenzi ake tsono! Iwo adzamuthawa kupita kutali. Amayesa kuwatsatira mowapembedza koma iwo samapezeka konse.
Umyanga uhlanyukelwa yizihlobo zakhe zonke, pho abangane bakhe bona bamnina kangakanani! Lanxa ebancenga kangakanani, ngeke esabathola.
8 Iye amene amapeza nzeru ndiye kuti amakonda moyo wake. Wosamalitsa kukhala wanzeru, zinthu zimamuyendera bwino.
Lowo ozuze ukuhlakanipha uthanda umphefumulo wakhe; lowo ogogosa ukuzwisisa uyaphumelela.
9 Mboni yonama sidzalephera kulangidwa, ndipo iye amene amanena mabodza adzawonongeka.
Umfakazi wamanga uthola isijeziso, njalo lowo ohutshuza amanga uzabhubha.
10 Nʼkosayenera kuti chitsiru chizikhala ndi moyo wamanyado, nanjinso kuti kapolo azilamulira akalonga!
Kakusifanelanga isiwula ukuthi sihlale enothweni kubi kangakanani ukuthi isigqili sibuse amakhosana.
11 Nzeru zimapangitsa munthu kukhala wosakwiya msanga; ulemerero wake uli posalabadira kuchitiridwa zoyipa.
Ukuhlakanipha komuntu kumupha isineke; kumupha udumo ukunganaki ukuqalwa.
12 Mkwiyo wa mfumu uli ngati kubangula kwa mkango, koma kukoma mtima kwake kuli ngati mame pa udzu.
Ukuthukuthela kwenkosi kunjengokubhonga kwesilwane, kodwa ukuthandwa yiyo kunjengamazolo etshanini.
13 Mwana wopusa ndiye tsoka la abambo ake ndipo mkazi wolongolola ndi wotopetsa ngati mvula yamvumbi.
Indodana eyisiwula iyamchitha uyise, lomfazi olenkani unjengamanzi athonta ephahleni njalonje.
14 Nyumba ndi chuma ndiye cholowa chochokera kwa makolo; koma mkazi wanzeru ndi wochokera kwa Yehova.
Izindlu lenotho yilifa elizuzwa ebazalini, kodwa umfazi ozwisisayo uvela kuThixo.
15 Ulesi umagonetsa tulo tofa nato ndipo munthu wosatakataka amakhala ndi njala.
Ubuvila buletha ubuthongo obukhulu, njalo umuntu owehluleka ukuzenwaya uyalamba.
16 Amene amamvera malangizo amasunga moyo wake, koma amene sasamala malamulo a Yehova adzafa.
Lowo olalela izeluleko uvikela impilo yakhe, kodwa lowo ozedelelayo uzakufa.
17 Amene amakomera mtima osauka amachita ngati wakongoletsa Yehova, ndipo Yehovayo ndiye adzamubwezere.
Olomusa kubayanga upha uThixo, uzamupha umvuzo ngalokho akwenzayo.
18 Langa mwana wako, chiyembekezo chikanalipo; ngati sutero udzawononga moyo wake.
Qondisa indodana yakho, ngoba lokho kuzayisiza; ungabi lengxenye yokuyibulala.
19 Munthu waukali woopsa ayenera kulandira chilango; pakuti akamulekelera ndiye zidzayipa kuposa kale.
Umuntu ololaka oluphuphumayo luyamtshayisa, ungamlamulela, usuzahlala umlamulela njalo.
20 Mvera uphungu ndipo landira malangizo; pa mapeto pake udzakhala wanzeru.
Lalela ukucetshiswa, wamukele ukuqondiswa, ngoba ekucineni uzahlakanipha.
21 Munthu amakonzekera zambiri mu mtima mwake, koma cholinga cha Yehova ndiye chidzachitike.
Inhliziyo yomuntu igcwele amacebo amanengi, kodwa yisimiso sikaThixo esimayo.
22 Chimene munthu amafuna ndi chikondi chosatha; nʼkwabwino kukhala wosauka kusiyana ndi kukhala wabodza.
Umuntu uloyisa uthando olungaqamukiyo; kungcono ukuba ngumyanga kulokuba lamanga.
23 Kuopa Yehova kumabweretsa moyo; wotereyo amakhala mu mtendere; ndiye kuti choyipa sichidzamugwera.
Ukumesaba uThixo kuholela ekuphileni: olakho uhlala esuthisekile, engathintwa yizinhlupheko.
24 Munthu waulesi amapisa dzanja lake mʼmbale; koma sangathe kufikitsa dzanja lakelo pakamwa pake.
Ivilavoxo litshonisa isandla salo emganwini, liyehluleke ukubuyisa isandla emlonyeni lidle.
25 Menya munthu wonyoza, ndipo anthu opanda nzeru adzachenjererapo; dzudzula munthu wozindikira zinthu, ndipo iye adzapezapo chidziwitso.
Thela uswazi isideleli, abathobekileyo bazafunda ukuhlakanipha; khuza umuntu oqedisisayo, uzazuza ulwazi.
26 Mwana wochita ndewu ndi abambo ake ndi kuthamangitsa amayi ake, ndi mwana wochititsa manyazi ndi wonyozetsa.
Lowo ontshontshela uyise, axotshe unina yindodana ethelela inhloni lehlazo.
27 Mwana wanga, ukaleka kumvera malangizo, udzapatukana ndi mawu opatsa nzeru.
Nxa uyekela ukulandela izeluleko, ndodana yami, uzalahleka utshiye amazwi okwazi.
28 Mboni yopanda pake imanyoza cholungama, ndipo pakamwa pa anthu oyipa pamameza zoyipa.
Umfakazi oxhwalileyo uyawudelela umthetho, lomlomo womubi uminza ububi.
29 Chilango chakonzedwa kale kuti chigwere anthu oyipa, ndipo mkwapulo wakonzedwa kale kuti ukwapule misana ya anthu opusa.
Izijeziso zilungiselwe izideleli, loswazi ngolwemihlane yeziwula.
