Izaga 11
1 Isikali esikhohlisayo siyisinengiso eNkosini, kodwa ilitshe lokulinganisa elipheleleyo liyintokozo yayo.
Muyeso wachinyengo Yehova umamunyansa, koma amakondwera ndi muyeso woyenera.
2 Nxa kufika ukuzigqaja, kufika lehlazo; kodwa kwabathobekileyo kukhona inhlakanipho.
Kunyada kukalowa, pamafikanso manyazi, koma pamene pali kudzichepetsa pameneponso pali nzeru.
3 Ubuqotho babaqotho buzabaqondisa, kodwa ukuphambeka kwabaphambekayo kuzababhubhisa.
Ungwiro wa anthu olungama umawatsogolera, koma anthu osakhulupirika amawonongeka ndi chinyengo chawo.
4 Inotho kayisizi ngosuku lolaka, kodwa ukulunga kophula ekufeni.
Chuma sichithandiza pa tsiku lawukali wa Mulungu, koma chilungamo chimapulumutsa ku imfa.
5 Ukulunga kwabaqotho kuzaqondisa indlela yakhe, kodwa okhohlakeleyo uzakuwa ngenkohlakalo yakhe.
Chilungamo cha anthu angwiro chimawongolera moyo wawo, koma ntchito zoyipa zimagwetsa mwini wake yemweyo.
6 Ukulunga kwabaqotho kuzabophula, kodwa abaphambukayo bazathunjwa zinkanuko zabo.
Chilungamo cha anthu oyera mtima chimawapulumutsa, koma anthu onyenga adzagwidwa ndi zilakolako zawo zomwe.
7 Nxa umuntu okhohlakeleyo esifa, ithemba lakhe lizabhubha, lethemba lolamandla liyabhubha.
Pamene munthu woyipa wafa, chiyembekezo chake chimathanso. Chiyembekezo cha munthu wosalungama chimawonongeka.
8 Olungileyo ukhululwa ekuhluphekeni, kodwa omubi ungena endaweni yakhe.
Munthu wolungama amapulumutsidwa ku mavuto, koma mʼmalo mwake amagwa mʼmavutomo ndi anthu oyipa.
9 Ngomlomo umzenzisi uchitha umakhelwane wakhe, kodwa ngolwazi abalungileyo bayakhululwa.
Munthu wosapembedza amawononga mnansi wake ndi pakamwa pake, koma munthu wolungama amapulumuka chifukwa cha kudziwa zinthu.
10 Ngempumelelo yabalungileyo umuzi uyathokoza; lekubhubheni kwabakhohlakeleyo kulenjabulo.
Anthu olungama zinthu zikamawayendera bwino, mzinda wonse umakondwera, ndipo oyipa akamawonongeka anthu amafuwula mwachimwemwe.
11 Ngesibusiso sabaqotho umuzi uyaphakanyiswa, kodwa ngomlomo wabakhohlakeleyo uyachitheka.
Mzinda umakwezeka chifukwa cha madalitso a anthu oyera mtima, koma umawonongedwa chifukwa cha pakamwa pa anthu oyipa.
12 Oswela ingqondo udelela umakhelwane, kodwa umuntu oqedisisayo uyazithulela.
Munthu wonyoza mnzake ndi wopanda nzeru, koma munthu wanzeru zomvetsa zinthu amakhala chete.
13 Ohamba enyeya wembula imfihlakalo, kodwa othembekileyo ngomoya ufihla udaba.
Amene amanka nachita ukazitape amawulula zinsinsi; koma munthu wokhulupirika amasunga pakamwa pake.
14 Lapho kungekho izeluleko abantu bayawa; kodwa ukukhululwa kusebunengini babeluleki.
Pakasoweka uphungu mtundu wa anthu umagwa; koma pakakhala aphungu ambiri pamakhalanso chipulumutso.
15 Oba yisibambiso sowezizwe uzahlupheka ngokubi; kodwa ozonda ukutshaya izandla uvikelekile.
Woperekera mlendo chikole adzapeza mavuto, koma wodana ndi za chikole amakhala pa mtendere.
16 Owesifazana olomusa ubamba udumo, labalamandla babamba inotho.
Mkazi wodekha amalandira ulemu, koma amuna ankhanza amangopata chuma.
17 Umuntu olomusa wenzela umphefumulo wakhe okuhle, kodwa olesihluku ukhathaza inyama yakhe.
Munthu wachifundo amadzipindulira zabwino koma munthu wankhanza amadzibweretsera mavuto.
18 Okhohlakeleyo wenza umsebenzi wenkohliso, kodwa ohlanyela ukulunga ulomvuzo weqiniso.
Munthu woyipa amalandira malipiro wopanda phindu, koma wochita chilungamo amakolola mphotho yeniyeni.
19 Njengoba ukulunga kungokwempilo, kunjalo ozingela okubi kungokokufa kwakhe.
Munthu wochita za chilungamo amapeza moyo, koma wothamangira zoyipa adzafa.
20 Abaphambeneyo ngenhliziyo bayisinengiso eNkosini, kodwa abaqotho ngendlela bayintokozo yayo.
Yehova amanyansidwa ndi anthu a mtima wokhotakhota koma amakondwera ndi anthu a makhalidwe angwiro.
21 Isandla esandleni omubi kayikuyekelwa ukujeziswa, kodwa inzalo yabalungileyo izaphepha.
Zoonadi, anthu oyipa adzalangidwa, koma anthu olungama adzapulumuka.
22 Ulisongo legolide empumulweni yengulube owesifazana obukekayo ophambuka engqondweni.
Monga imaonekera mphete yagolide ikakhala pa mphuno ya nkhumba, ndi momwenso amaonekera mkazi wokongola wamʼkamwa.
23 Isifiso sabalungileyo singokuhle kuphela; ithemba labakhohlakeleyo lulaka.
Zokhumba za anthu olungama zimathera pa zabwino zokhazokha, koma chiyembekezo cha anthu oyipa chimathera mu ukali wa Mulungu.
24 Kukhona ohlakazayo, kube kanti okunengi kuyengezwa; logodla okwedlula okufaneleyo, kodwa kungokokuswela.
Munthu wina amapatsako anzake zinthu mwaufulu nʼkumangolemererabe; wina amamana chomwe akanatha kupereka, koma kumanka nasawukabe.
25 Umphefumulo obusisayo uzakhuluphaliswa, lothelelayo uzathelelwa laye.
Munthu wopereka mowolowamanja adzalemera; iye amene amathandiza ena iyenso adzathandizidwa.
26 Ogodla amabele, abantu bazamqalekisa; kodwa isibusiso sizakuba phezu kwekhanda lothengisayo.
Anthu amatemberera womana anzake chakudya, koma madalitso amakhala pamutu pa munthu amene amagulitsa chakudyacho.
27 Odingisisa okuhle, udinga umusa; kodwa odinga okubi, kuzakuza kuye.
Iye amene amafunafuna zabwino mwakhama amapeza zabwinozo, koma wofunafuna zoyipa zidzamupeza.
28 Othemba inotho yakhe yena uzakuwa, kodwa abalungileyo bazahluma njengamahlamvu.
Aliyense amene amadalira chuma chake adzafota, koma wolungama adzaphukira ngati tsamba lobiriwira.
29 Oletha inkathazo emzini wakhe uzakudla ilifa lomoya, lesithutha sizakuba yinceku yohlakaniphileyo ngenhliziyo.
Wovutitsa a mʼnyumba mwake adzalowa mʼmavuto, ndipo chitsiru chidzakhala kapolo wa munthu wa nzeru.
30 Isithelo solungileyo siyisihlahla sempilo, lozuza imiphefumulo uhlakaniphile.
Chipatso cha ntchito zabwino ndi moyo, ndipo kusatsata malamulo kumawonongetsa moyo.
31 Khangela, olungileyo uzavuzwa emhlabeni; kakhulu kangakanani omubi lesoni!
Ngati anthu olungama amalandira mphotho zawo pa dziko lapansi, kuli bwanji anthu osapembedza ndi ochimwa!
