< Miyambo 9 >
1 Nzeru inamanga nyumba yake; inayimika nsanamira zake zisanu ndi ziwiri.
Ukuhlakanipha sekuzakhele indlu yakho, imisiwe ngezinsika eziyisikhombisa.
2 Inapha ziweto zake ndipo yasakaniza vinyo wake; inasakaniza vinyo wake ndi kuyala tebulo lake.
Isiphekiwe inyama yakho kwalungiswa lewayini; konke sekudekiwe etafuleni.
3 Nzeruyo inatuma adzakazi ake, kuti akakhale pamwamba penipeni pa mzinda ndi kukalengeza kuti,
Usewathumile amantombazana, uyanxusa emi ezindaweni eziphakemeyo zedolobho.
4 “Aliyense amene ali munthu wamba, abwere kuno!” Kwa onse opanda nzeru inkanena kuti,
“Akuthi bonke abayizithutha beze lapha!” Esitsho kulabo abangaqedisisiyo.
5 “Bwerani, dzadyeni chakudya changa ndipo dzamweni vinyo amene ndakonza.
“Wozani lidle ukudla kwami linathe iwayini esengililungisile.
6 Lekani zopusa zanu kuti mukhale ndi moyo; yendani njira ya nzeru yomvetsa zinthu.”
Lahlani izindlela zenu zobuthutha lizaphila; hambani ngendlela yokuzwisisa.”
7 Aliyense amene amayesa kukonza munthu wonyoza amadziputira minyozo; aliyense amene amadzudzula munthu woyipa amadetsa mbiri yake.
Lowo oweluleka oklolodayo ubiza inhlamba; okhuza umuntu oxhwalileyo ucina ethethiswa.
8 Usadzudzule munthu wonyoza kuti angadzadane nawe; dzudzula munthu wanzeru ndipo adzakukonda.
Ungakhuzi isiqholo ngoba sizakuzonda; khuza ohlakaniphileyo uzakuthanda.
9 Ukalangiza munthu wanzeru ndiye adzapitirira kukhala wanzeru; ukaphunzitsa munthu wolungama ndiye adzawonjezera kuphunzira kwake.
Yeluleka umuntu ohlakaniphileyo uzakwandisa ukuhlakanipha kwakhe; fundisa umuntu olungileyo, uzakwengeza ulwazi lwakhe.
10 Kuopa Yehova ndiye chiyambi cha nzeru; kudziwa Woyerayo ndiko kukhala womvetsa bwino zinthu.
Ukumesaba uThixo kuyikuqala kwenhlakanipho, njalo ulwazi ngaLowo oNgcwele luyikuqedisisa.
11 Chifukwa cha ine nzeru, masiku ako adzachuluka, ndipo zaka za moyo wako zidzawonjezeredwa.
Ngoba ngami zizakuba zinengi insuku zakho, kwandiswe iminyaka yokuphila kwakho.
12 Ngati ndiwe wanzeru, nzeru yakoyo idzakupindulitsa; ngati ndiwe wonyoza ena, udzavutika wekha.
Nxa uhlakaniphile, ukuhlakanipha kwakho kuzakusiza; aluba uyisiqholo, uzahlupheka wedwa.
13 Uchitsiru ndi mkazi waphokoso, wopulikira ndiponso wosadziwa zinthu.
Umfazi othiwa nguBuwula ulomsindo; kagobeki njalo kazi lutho.
14 Iye amakhala pa mpando, pa khomo la nyumba yake, pamalo aatali a mu mzinda,
Uthanda ukuhlala emnyango wendlu yakhe, esihlalweni endaweni esesiqongweni sedolobho,
15 kuti aziyitana anthu ongodutsa, amene akunka nayenda njira zawo.
abe ehuga labo abedlulayo, abahamba beqonde lapho abaya khona.
16 Amati, “Onse amene ndi anthu wamba abwere kuno,” ndipo kwa wopanda nzeru amati,
“Abeze lapha bonke abayizithutha!” Esitsho kulabo abangacabangiyo.
17 “Madzi akuba ndiye amatsekemera; chakudya chodya mobisa ndi chokoma!”
“Ulutho lokuntshontshwa lumnandi; ukudla okudlelwa ensitha kuyahlabusa!”
18 Koma amunawo sadziwa kuti akufa ali kale komweko, ndi kuti alendo ake alowa kale mʼmanda akuya. (Sheol )
Kodwa kabazi ukuthi kuyafiwa, kuleyondawo, ukuthi izethekeli zalowomfazi sezaphelela ekujuleni kwengcwaba. (Sheol )
