Engero 16
1 Omuntu ateekateeka by’ayagala okukola mu mutima gwe, Naye okuddamu kuva eri Mukama.
Zolinga za mu mtima ndi za munthu, koma kwa Yehova ndiye kumachokera yankho.
2 Amakubo g’omuntu gonna gaba matuufu mu maaso ge ye, naye Mukama y’apima ebigendererwa.
Zochita zonse za munthu zimaoneka zabwino pamaso pake, koma Yehova ndiye amasanthula zolinga zako.
3 Emirimu gyo gyonna gikwasenga Mukama, naye anaatuukirizanga entegeka zo.
Pereka ntchito zako zonse mʼmanja mwa Yehova, ndipo zolinga zako zidzachitikadi.
4 Mukama buli kimu akikola ng’alina ekigendererwa, n’abakozi b’ebibi y’abakolera olunaku lwe batuukibwako ebizibu.
Yehova amachita zonse ndi cholinga chake, ngakhale anthu oyipa kuti aone tsiku latsoka.
5 Buli muntu alina omutima ogw’amalala wa muzizo eri Mukama; weewaawo talirema kubonerezebwa.
Munthu aliyense wodzikuza amamunyansa Yehova. Koma dziwani izi: Iwo sadzakhala osalangidwa.
6 Olw’okwagala n’olw’obwesigwa, ekibi kisasulibwa, n’okutya Mukama kuleetera omuntu okwewala okukola ebibi.
Chifukwa cha chikondi chosasinthika ndi kukhulupirika, munthu amakhululukidwa machimo ake; chifukwa cha kuopa Yehova munthu amapewa zoyipa.
7 Amakubo g’omuntu bwe gaba gasanyusa Mukama, aleetera abalabe b’omuntu oyo okubeera naye mu mirembe.
Pamene makhalidwe a munthu akondweretsa Yehova, ngakhale adani ake amakhala naye mwa mtendere.
8 Akatono akafune mu butuukirivu, kasinga obugagga obungi obufune mu bukyamu.
Kuli bwino kukhala ndi zinthu pangʼono zozipeza mwachilungamo, kusiyana ndi kukhala ndi zinthu zambiri zozipeza popanda chilungamo.
9 Omutima gw’omuntu guteekateeka ekkubo lye, naye Mukama y’aluŋŋamya bw’anaatambula.
Mtima wa munthu umalingalira zochita, koma Yehova ndiye amakhazikitsa njira zake.
10 Kabaka ky’ayogera kiba ng’ekiva eri Katonda, n’akamwa ke tekasaanye kwogera bitali bya bwenkanya.
Mawu a mfumu ali ngati mawu ochokera kwa Mulungu; ndipo pakamwa pake sipalakwa poweruza mlandu.
11 Ebipimo ne minzaani ebituufu bya Mukama, ebipimo byonna ebikozesebwa y’abikola.
Miyeso ndi masikelo achilungamo zimachokera kwa Yehova; miyala yonse yoyesera ya mʼthumba anayipanga ndi Yehova.
12 Kya muzizo bakabaka okukola ebibi, kubanga entebe ye ey’obwakabaka enywezebwa butuukirivu.
Kuchita zoyipa kumanyansa mafumu, pakuti chilungamo ndiye maziko a ufumu wake.
13 Akamwa akogera eby’amazima bakabaka ke basanyukira, era baagala oyo ayogera amazima.
Mawu owona amakondweretsa mfumu. Iyo imakonda munthu woyankhula choonadi.
14 Obusungu bwa kabaka buli ng’ababaka abaleese okufa, omusajja ow’amagezi alibukkakkanya.
Ukali wa mfumu ndi mthenga wa imfa, koma munthu wanzeru amawupepesa ukaliwo.
15 Kabaka bw’asanyuka kireeta obulamu; n’okuganza kwe, kuli nga ekire eky’enkuba mu biseera ebya ttoggo.
Kuwala kwa nkhope ya mfumu kumapatsa moyo; ndipo kukoma mtima kwake kuli ngati mitambo ya mvula nthawi ya chilimwe.
16 Okufuna amagezi nga kusinga nnyo okufuna zaabu, era n’okufuna okutegeera kikira ffeeza!
Nʼkwabwino kwambiri kupeza nzeru kupambana golide. Kukhala womvetsa bwino zinthu nʼkwabwino kupambana ndi kukhala ndi siliva.
17 Ekkubo ly’abagolokofu kwe kwewala ebibi, n’oyo eyeekuuma mu kutambula kwe, awonya emmeeme ye.
Msewu wa munthu wowongoka mtima umapewa zoyipa; wopenyetsetsa kumene akupita amasunga moyo wake.
18 Amalala gakulembera okuzikirira, n’omwoyo ogwegulumiza gukulembera ekigwo.
Kunyada kumafikitsa ku chiwonongeko, ndipo munthu wodzikuza adzagwa.
19 Okubeera n’omwoyo ogwetoowaza era n’okubeera n’abaavu, kisinga okugabana omunyago n’ab’amalala.
Nʼkwabwino kukhala ndi mtima wodzichepetsa pakati pa anthu oponderezedwa, kusiyana ndi kugawana zolanda ndi anthu onyada.
20 Oyo assaayo omwoyo ku kuyigirizibwa alikulaakulana, era alina omukisa oyo eyeesiga Mukama.
Munthu womvera malangizo zinthu zimamuyendera bwino, ndipo wodala ndi amene amadalira Yehova.
21 Abalina emitima egy’amagezi baliyitibwa bategeevu, n’enjogera ennungi eyongera okuyamba okutegeera.
A mtima wanzeru amatchedwa ozindikira zinthu, ndipo mawu ake okoma amawonjezera nzeru.
22 Amagezi nsulo ya bulamu eri oyo agalina, naye obusirusiru buleetera abasirusiru okubonerezebwa.
Kumvetsa zinthu ndi kasupe wa moyo kwa iwo amene ali nako, koma uchitsiru umabweretsa chilango kwa zitsiru.
23 Omutima gw’omuntu ow’amagezi gumuwa enjogera ennungi, era akamwa ke kayigiriza abalala.
Mtima wanzeru umathandiza munthu kuyankhula mwa nzeru, ndipo mawu ake amawonjezera nzeru.
24 Ebigambo ebirungi biri ng’ebisenge by’omubisi gw’enjuki, biwoomera emmeeme, ne biwonya n’amagumba.
Mawu okometsera ali ngati chisa cha njuchi, amakoma mu mtima ndipo amalimbitsa thupi.
25 Wabaawo ekkubo erirabika ng’ettuufu eri omuntu, naye ku nkomerero limutuusa mu kufa.
Pali njira ina yooneka ngati yowongoka kwa munthu koma kumatsiriziro kwake ndi imfa.
26 Okwagala okulya kuleetera omuntu okukola n’amaanyi, kubanga enjala emukubiriza okweyongera okukola.
Njala ya munthu wantchito imamuthandiza kulimbikira; njalayo imamukakamiza kuchitapo kanthu.
27 Omuntu omusirusiru ategeka okukola ebitali bya butuukirivu, era n’ebigambo bye, biri ng’omuliro ogwokya ennyo.
Munthu wopanda pake amakonzekera kuchita zoyipa ndipo mawu ake ali ngati moto wopsereza.
28 Omuntu omubambaavu asiikuula entalo, n’ow’olugambo ayawukanya ab’omukwano enfirabulago.
Munthu woyipa mtima amayambitsa mikangano, ndipo miseche imalekanitsa anthu okondana kwambiri.
29 Omuntu omukyamu asendasenda muliraanwa we n’amutwala mu kkubo eritali ttuufu.
Munthu wandewu amakopa mnansi wake, ndipo amamuyendetsa njira imene si yabwino.
30 Omuntu atemya ku liiso ateekateeka kwonoona, n’oyo asongoza emimwa ategeka kukola bitali birungi.
Amene amatsinzinira maso ake amalingalira zinthu zokhota; amene amachita msunamo amakonzeka kuchita zoyipa.
31 Omutwe ogw’envi ngule ya kitiibwa, gufunibwa abo abatambulira mu bulamu obutuukirivu.
Imvi zili ngati chipewa chaufumu chaulemerero; munthu amazipeza akakhala moyo wolungama.
32 Omuntu omugumiikiriza asinga omutabaazi, n’oyo afuga obusungu bwe akira awamba ekibuga.
Munthu wosapsa mtima msanga amaposa munthu wankhondo, munthu wowugwira mtima wake amaposa amene amalanda mzinda.
33 Akalulu kayinza okukubibwa, naye okusalawo kwa byonna kuva eri Mukama.
Maere amaponyedwa pa mfunga, koma ndiye Yehova amene amalongosola zonse.
