Muparidzi 5
1 Chenjerera rutsoka rwako kana uchienda kuimba yaMwari. Enda pedyo undonzwa pano kuti upe chibayiro chamapenzi, vasingazivi kuti vanoita zvakaipa.
Uzisamala mayendedwe ako pamene ukupita ku nyumba ya Mulungu. Upite pafupi kuti ukamvetsere mʼmalo mopereka nsembe ya zitsiru zimene sizizindikira kuti zikuchita zolakwa.
2 Usakurumidza nomuromo wako, usakurumidza mumwoyo mako kutaura chipi zvacho chinhu pamberi paMwari. Mwari ari kudenga uye iwe uri pasi, saka mashoko ako ngaave mashoma.
Usamafulumire kuyankhula, usafulumire mu mtima mwako kunena chilichonse pamaso pa Mulungu. Mulungu ali kumwamba ndipo iwe uli pa dziko lapansi, choncho mawu ako akhale ochepa.
3 Sokuuya kwechiroto kana pane matambudziko akawanda ndizvowo zvinoita kutaura kwebenzi kana pane mashoko mazhinji.
Kuchuluka kwa mavuto mu mtima kumabweretsa maloto oyipa, ndipo kuchuluka kwa mawu kumadzetsa uchitsiru.
4 Kana waita mhiko kuna Mwari, usanonoka kuizadzisa. Iye haafariri mapenzi; zadzisa mhiko yako.
Pamene ulumbira kwa Mulungu usachedwe kukwaniritsa chimene walumbiracho. Iye sakondweretsedwa ndi chitsiru; kwaniritsa lumbiro lako.
5 Zviri nani kurega kupika pano kuita mhiko wozorega kuizadzisa.
Kuli bwino kusalumbira kusiyana ndi kulumbira koma osakwaniritsa lumbirolo.
6 Usaregera muromo wako uchikutungamirira mukutadza. Uye usapikisa mutumwa wetemberi uchiti, “Ndakakanganisa pakupika.” Mwari achatsamwireiko pamusoro pezvaunotaura, uye agoparadza basa ramaoko ako?
Pakamwa pako pasakuchimwitse. Ndipo usanene kwa mthenga wa mʼNyumba ya Mulungu kuti, “Ndinalakwitsa polumbira.” Chifukwa chiyani ukufuna Mulungu akwiye ndi mawu ako ndiponso ntchito ya manja ako?
7 Kurota kuzhinji namashoko mazhinji hazvina maturo. Naizvozvo mira utye Mwari.
Maloto ochuluka ndi mawu ochuluka ndi zinthu zopandapake. Kotero lemekeza Mulungu.
8 Kana ukaona murombo achidzvinyirirwa mudunhu uye achinyimwa kururamisirwa nekodzero, usashamiswa nezvinhu zvakadai; nokuti mumwe mukuru anotarirwa nomumwe ari pamusoro pake, uye pamusoro pavo vose pane vamwe vakavakurirawo.
Ngati uwona anthu osauka akuzunzika mʼdziko, ndiponso anthu ena akupsinja anzawo ndi kuwalanda ufulu wawo, usadabwe ndi zinthu zimenezi; pakuti woyangʼanira ali naye wina womuyangʼanira wamkulu, ndipo pamwamba pa awiriwa pali ena akuluakulu owaposa.
9 Zvinowanikwa kubva panyika zvinotorwa navose; iye mambo ane zvaanowana kubva kuminda.
Anthu onse amatengako zokolola za mʼminda: koma ndi mfumu yokha imene imapeza phindu la mindayi.
10 Uyo zvake anoda mari haazombowani mari yakakwana; ani zvake anoda pfuma haazombogutswi nezvaanowana. Naizvozviwo hazvina maturo.
Aliyense amene amakonda ndalama sakhutitsidwa ndi ndalamazo; aliyense amene amakonda chuma sakhutitsidwa ndi zimene amapeza. Izinso ndi zopandapake.
11 Nokuwanda kunoita pfuma, ndiko kuwanda kunoitawo vanoidya. Uye zvinobatsireiko kumuridzi wayo kunze kwokungogutsa meso ake nayo?
Chuma chikachuluka akudya nawo chumacho amachulukanso. Nanga mwini wake amapindulapo chiyani kuposa kumangochiyangʼana ndi maso ake?
12 Hope dzomushandi dzakanaka, hazvinei kuti adya zvishoma kana zvizhinji, asi kuwanda kwezvinhu zvomupfumi hakumuwanisi hope.
Wantchito amagona tulo tabwino ngakhale adye pangʼono kapena kudya kwambiri, koma munthu wolemera, chuma sichimulola kuti agone.
13 Ndakaona chinhu chakaipisisa pasi pezuva: pfuma inounganidzwa nomwene wayo, ichimuonesa nhamo,
Ine ndinaona choyipa chomvetsa chisoni pansi pano: chuma chokundikidwa chikupweteka mwini wake yemwe,
14 kana pfuma inorasika nokuda kwechinhu chakaipa chinomuwira, kuti kana abereka mwana mukomana anoshaya chaanomusiyira.
kapena chuma chowonongedwa pa nthawi yatsoka, kotero kuti pamene wabereka mwana alibe kanthu koti amusiyire.
15 Munhu sezvaanobuda mudumbu ramai vake, uye sokuuya kwake, saizvozvowo anoenda. Haana chaanotakura chinobva pabasa rake, chaangaenda nacho muruoko rwake.
Munthu anabadwa wamaliseche kuchokera mʼmimba mwa amayi ake, ndipo monga iye anabadwira, adzapitanso choncho. Pa zonse zimene iye anakhetsera thukuta palibe nʼchimodzi chomwe chimene adzatenge mʼmanja mwake.
16 Ichi zvakare chinhu chakaipa kwazvo: Sokuuya kunoita munhu saizvozvowo anoenda, uye chii chaangawana, iye achishandira mhepo?
Izinso ndi zoyipa kwambiri: munthu adzapita monga momwe anabwerera, ndipo iye amapindula chiyani, pakuti amagwira ntchito yolemetsa yopanda phindu?
17 Pamazuva ake ose anodyira murima, nokudzungaira kukuru, kutambudzika uye nehasha.
Masiku ake onse ndi odzaza ndi mdima, kukhumudwa kwakukulu, masautso ndi nkhawa.
18 Ipapo ndakaziva kuti zvakanaka uye zvakafanira kuti munhu adye uye anwe, uye kuti azviwanire kugutsikana mukushanda kwake kwaakabata pasi pezuva pamazuva ake mashoma oupenyu aakapiwa naMwari, nokuti uyu ndiwo mugove wake.
Tsono ndinazindikira kuti nʼchabwino ndi choyenera kuti munthu azidya ndi kumwa, ndi kukhutitsidwa ndi ntchito yake yolemetsa imene amayigwira pansi pano pa nthawi yake yochepa imene Mulungu amamupatsa, poti ichi ndiye chake.
19 Pamusoro pezvo, Mwari paanopa munhu upi zvake mari nezvinhu, uye achiita kuti akwanise kuti afadzwe nazvo kuti agamuchire mugove wake uye kuti afadzwe nebasa rake, ichi chipo chinobva kuna Mwari.
Komatu pamene Mulungu apereka chuma kwa munthu aliyense ndi zinthu zina, ndi kulola kuti akondwere ndi chumacho, munthuyo alandire chumacho ndi kusangalala ndi ntchito yake, imene ndi mphatso yochokera kwa Mulungu.
20 Haawanzofunga pamusoro poupenyu hwake, nokuti Mwari anopindura zvinofadza mwoyo wake.
Munthu wotereyu saganizirapo za masiku a moyo wake, chifukwa Mulungu amamutanganidwitsa ndi chisangalalo cha mu mtima mwake.
