Masalimo 10
1 Nʼchifukwa chiyani Yehova mwayima patali? Chifukwa chiyani mukudzibisa nokha pa nthawi ya mavuto?
Nkosi, umeleni khatshana? Ucatshelani ezikhathini zokuhlupheka?
2 Mwa kunyada kwake munthu woyipa asaka wofowoka, amene akodwa mʼnjira zimene iye wakonza.
Omubi ekuzigqajeni uyamzingelisisa umyanga; kababanjwe ngamagobe abawacebileyo.
3 Iye amatamandira zokhumba za mu mtima wake; amadalitsa aumbombo ndi kuchitira chipongwe Yehova.
Ngoba omubi uyazikhukhumeza ngesifiso somphefumulo wakhe, uyasibusisa isihwaba, ayeyise iNkosi.
4 Mwa kunyada kwake woyipa safunafuna Mulungu; mʼmaganizo ake wonse mulibe malo a Mulungu.
Omubi, ngokuzigqaja kobuso bakhe uthi: Kakubizi; kakho uNkulunkulu emicabangweni yakhe yonke.
5 Zinthu zake zimamuyendera bwino; iye ndi wamwano ndipo malamulo anu ali nawo kutali; amanyogodola adani ake onse.
Indlela zakhe ziqinile isikhathi sonke; izahlulelo zakho ziphakeme zikhatshana laye; izitha zakhe zonke uyazivuthela.
6 Iye amadziyankhulira kuti, “Palibe chimene chidzandigwedeze. Ndidzakhala wokondwa nthawi zonse ndipo sindidzakhala pa mavuto.”
Uthi enhliziyweni yakhe: Kangiyikunyikinywa; ngoba esizukulwaneni lesizukulwana kangiyikuba sebunzimeni.
7 Mʼkamwa mwake mwadzaza matemberero, mabodza ndi zoopseza; zovutitsa ndi zoyipa zili pansi pa lilime lake.
Umlomo wakhe ugcwele ukuthuka lezinkohliso lobuqili; ngaphansi kolimi lwakhe kukhona ukona lobubi.
8 Iye amabisalira anthu pafupi ndi midzi, kuchokera pobisalapo amapha anthu osalakwa, amayangʼanayangʼana mwachinsinsi anthu oti awawononge.
Uhlezi endaweni yokucathama yemizi, ezindaweni ezisithekileyo ubulala ongelacala; amehlo akhe akhangele othithibeleyo ngasese.
9 Amabisalira anthu ngati mkango pa zitsamba. Amabisalira kuti agwire anthu opanda mphamvu; amagwira anthu opanda mphamvu ndi kuwakokera mu ukonde wake.
Uyacatsha ekusithekeni njengesilwane ebhalwini lwaso; ucatshela ukumbamba ongumyanga, uyabamba ongumyanga ngokumhudulela embuleni lakhe.
10 Anthuwo amawapondaponda ndipo amakomoka; amakhala pansi pa mphamvu zake.
Uyaqutha, uyakhothama, njalo umyanga awe ngokulamandla kwakhe.
11 Iye amati mu mtima mwake, “Mulungu wayiwala, wabisa nkhope yake ndipo sakuonanso.”
Uthi enhliziyweni yakhe: UNkulunkulu ukhohliwe, ufihle ubuso bakhe, kasoze abone lanini.
12 Dzukani Yehova! Onetsani dzanja lanu Inu Mulungu. Musayiwale anthu opanda mphamvu.
Sukuma, Nkosi! Nkulunkulu, phakamisa isandla sakho, ungabakhohlwa abahluphekayo.
13 Nʼchifukwa chiyani munthu woyipa amachitira chipongwe Mulungu? Chifukwa chiyani amati mu mtima mwake, “Iye sandiyimba mlandu?”
Kungani omubi edelela uNkulunkulu? Uthi enhliziyweni yakhe: Kawuyikukubiza.
14 Komatu Inu Mulungu, mumazindikira mavuto ndi zosautsa, mumaganizira zochitapo kanthu. Wovutikayo amadzipereka yekha kwa Inu pakuti Inu ndi mthandizi wa ana amasiye.
Uyabona, ngoba wena uyakhangela ububi lenhlupheko, ukukubeka esandleni sakho. Umyanga uyazinikela kuwe; wena ungumsizi wezintandane.
15 Thyolani dzanja la woyipitsitsa ndi la munthu woyipa; muzengeni mlandu chifukwa cha zoyipa zake zimene sizikanadziwika.
Yephula ingalo yokhohlakeleyo lomubi; dinga inkohlakalo yakhe ukuze ungabe usayithola.
16 Yehova ndi Mfumu kwamuyaya; mitundu ya anthu idzawonongeka kuchoka mʼdziko lake.
UJehova yiNkosi kuze kube nini lanini; izizwe zibhubhile elizweni layo.
17 Mumamva Inu Yehova, zokhumba za osautsidwa; mumawalimbikitsa ndipo mumamva kulira kwawo.
Nkosi, uzwile isifiso sabathobekileyo, uzaqinisa inhliziyo yabo, wenze indlebe yakho izwe,
18 Kuteteza ana amasiye ndi oponderezedwa, ndi cholinga chakuti munthu amene ali wa dziko lapansi asaopsenso.
ukwahlulela intandane locindezelweyo, ukuze umuntu wasemhlabeni angabe esesabeka.
