Muparidzi 3
1 Chinhu chimwe nechimwe chine nguva yacho, uye basa rimwe nerimwe rine nguva yaro pasi pedenga:
Chinthu chilichonse chili ndi nthawi yake, ndi nyengo yake yomwe anayika Mulungu:
2 nguva yokuberekwa nenguva yokufa, nguva yokusima nenguva yokudzura;
Nthawi yobadwa ndi nthawi yomwalira, nthawi yodzala ndi nthawi yokolola.
3 nguva yokuuraya nenguva yokuporesa, nguva yokuputsa nenguva yokuvaka;
Nthawi yakupha ndi nthawi yochiritsa, nthawi yogwetsa ndi nthawi yomanga.
4 nguva yokuchema nenguva yokuseka, nguva yokuungudza nenguva yokudzana;
Nthawi yomva chisoni ndi nthawi yosangalala, nthawi yolira maliro ndi nthawi yovina.
5 nguva yokurasa mabwe nenguva yokuaunganidza pamwe chete, nguva yokumbundikira nenguva yokurega;
Nthawi yotaya miyala ndi nthawi yokundika miyala, nthawi yokumbatirana ndi nthawi yoleka kukumbatirana.
6 nguva yokutsvaka nenguva yokurega zvirasike, nguva yokuchengeta nenguva yokurasa;
Nthawi yofunafuna ndi nthawi yoleka kufunafuna, nthawi yosunga ndi nthawi yotaya.
7 nguva yokubvarura nenguva yokusona, nguva yokunyarara nenguva yokutaura;
Nthawi yongʼamba ndi nthawi yosoka, nthawi yokhala chete ndi nthawi yoyankhula.
8 nguva yokuda nenguva yokuvenga, nguva yehondo nenguva yorugare.
Nthawi yokondana ndi nthawi yodana, nthawi ya nkhondo ndi nthawi ya mtendere.
9 Ko, mushandi anowanei kubva mukushanda kwake kwose?
Kodi wantchito amapeza phindu lanji pa ntchito yake yolemetsa?
10 Ndakaona mutoro wakapiwa vanhu naMwari.
Ine ndinaona chipsinjo chimene Mulungu anayika pa anthu.
11 Akaita chinhu chimwe nechimwe chakanaka nenguva yacho. Akaisawo zvisingaperi mumwoyo yavanhu; kunyange zvakadaro havangagoni kunzwisisa zvakaitwa naMwari kubva pakutanga kusvika pakupedzisira.
Iye anapanga chinthu chilichonse kuti chikhale chabwino pa nthawi yake. Anayika nzeru zamuyaya mʼmitima ya anthu; komabe anthuwo sangathe kuzindikira zomwe Mulungu wachita kuyambira pa chiyambi mpaka chimaliziro.
12 Ndinoziva kuti hakuna chinhu chakanakira munhu kupfuura kuti afare uye kuti aite zvakanaka achiri mupenyu.
Ine ndikudziwa kuti palibenso kanthu kabwino kwa anthu kopambana kusangalala ndi kuchita zabwino pamene ali ndi moyo.
13 Kuti munhu wose adye uye anwe uye azviwanire kugutsikana kubva pakushanda kwake kwose, ichi ndicho chipo chaMwari.
Ndi mphatso ya Mulungu kwa munthu kuti azidya, azimwa ndi kumakondwera ndi ntchito zake zolemetsa.
14 Ndinoziva kuti zvose zvinoitwa naMwari zvichagara nokusingaperi; hapana chingawedzerwa pazviri uye hapana chingabviswa pazviri. Mwari anozviita kuti vanhu vamukudze.
Ndikudziwa kuti chilichonse chimene Mulungu amachita chidzakhala mpaka muyaya; palibe zimene zingawonjezedwe kapena kuchotsedwa. Mulungu amazichita kuti anthu azimuopa.
15 Chipi nechipi chiripo zvino, chakagara chiripo kare, uye zvichazovapo zvakatovapo kare; uye Mwari anotsvakazve zvakapfuura.
Chilichonse chimene chilipo chinalipo kale, ndipo chimene chidzakhalapo chinalipo poyamba; Mulungu amabwezanso zakale zimene zinapita kuti zichitikenso.
16 Uyezve ndakaona chimwe chinhu pasi pezuva: Panzvimbo yokururamisira, zvakaipa zvakanga zviripo, panzvimbo yokururama, zvakaipa zvakanga zviripo.
Ndipo ndinaona chinthu chinanso pansi pano: ku malo achiweruzo, kuyipa mtima kuli komweko, ku malo achilungamo, kuyipa mtima kuli komweko.
17 Ndakafunga mumwoyo mangu ndikati, “Mwari achatonga vose vakarurama nevakaipa, nokuti pachava nenguva yebasa rimwe nerimwe.”
Ndinalingalira mu mtima mwanga kuti; “Mulungu adzaweruza olungama pamodzi ndi oyipa omwe, pakuti anayika nthawi yochitikira chinthu chilichonse, nthawi ya ntchito iliyonse.”
18 Ndakatizve, “Kana vari vanhu, Mwari anovaedza kuti vaone kuti vakangofanana nemhuka.
Ndinalingaliranso kuti, “Kunena za anthu, Mulungu amawayesa ndi cholinga choti awaonetse kuti iwo ali ngati nyama.
19 Zvinoitika kumunhu zvakafanana nezvinoitika kumhuka; zvose zvinoitirwa zvimwe chetezvo: sokufa kunoita chimwe, chimwe chinofawo. Zvose zvinofema mweya mumwe; munhu hapana paanopfuura mhuka. Zvose hazvina maturo.
Zimene zimachitikira munthu, zomwezonso zimachitikira nyama; chinthu chimodzi chomwecho chimachitikira onse: Monga munthu amafa momwemonso nyama imafa. Zonsezi zimapuma mpweya umodzimodzi omwewo; munthu saposa nyama. Zonsezi ndi zopandapake.
20 Zvose zvinoenda kunzvimbo imwe chete; zvose zvinobva kuvhu, uye kuvhu zvose zvinodzokera.
Zonse zimapita kumodzimodzi; zonsezi zimachokera ku fumbi, ndipo zimabwereranso ku fumbi komweko.
21 Ndiani angaziva kana mweya womunhu uchikwira kuenda kumusoro uye kana mweya wemhuka uchidzika pasi?”
Kodi ndani amene amadziwa ngati mzimu wa munthu umakwera kumwamba, ndipo mzimu wa nyama umatsikira kunsi kwa dziko?”
22 Saka ndakaona kuti hapana chingapfuure ichi, kuti munhu afadzwe nebasa rake, nokuti uyu ndiwo mugove wake. Nokuti ndiani achazomudzosazve kuti aone zvichazoitika shure kwake?
Kotero ndinaona kuti palibe chinthu chabwino kwa munthu kuposa kuti munthu azisangalala ndi ntchito yake, pakuti ichi ndiye chake chenicheni. Pakuti ndani amene angamubweretse kuti adzaone zimene zidzamuchitikira iye akadzamwalira?
