Muparidzi 9
1 Nokudaro ndakafunga pamusoro pezvose izvi uye ndikapedzisira nokuti vakarurama navakachenjera, nezvavanoita zviri mumaoko aMwari, asi hakuna munhu anoziva kuti rudo here kana ruvengo zvakamumirira.
Ndinalingalira zonse ndanenazi ndipo ndinapeza kuti anthu olungama ndi anthu anzeru ali mʼmanja mwa Mulungu pamodzi ndi zimene amachita, koma palibe amene amadziwa zimene zikumudikira mʼtsogolo mwake, kaya chikondi kapena chidani.
2 Vose vane mugumo wakafanana, akarurama neakaipa, akanaka nomutadzi, akachena neakasviba, avo vanobayira zvibayiro neavo vasingabayiri. Sezvazvakaita nomunhu akanaka, ndizvozvowo nomutadzi; sezvazvakaita neavo vanoita mhiko, ndizvozvowo neavo vanotya kuita mhiko.
Onsewa mathero awo ndi amodzi, anthu olungama ndi anthu oyipa, abwino ndi oyipa, oyera ndi odetsedwa, amene amapereka nsembe ndi amene sapereka nsembe. Zomwe zimachitikira munthu wabwino, zimachitikiranso munthu wochimwa, zomwe zimachitikira amene amalumbira, zimachitikiranso amene amaopa kulumbira.
3 Ichi ndicho chinhu chakaipa pane zvose zvinoitika pasi pezuva: Vose vane mugumo mumwe chete. Pamusoro pezvo, mwoyo yavanhu izere nezvakaipa uye mumwoyo yavo mune upenzi panguva yokurarama kwavo, uye shure kwaizvozvo vanobatana navakafa.
Choyipa chimene chili mʼzonse zochitika pansi ndi ichi: Mathero a zonse ndi amodzi. Ndithu, mitima ya anthu ndi yodzaza ndi zoyipa, ndipo mʼmitima mwawo muli zamisala pamene ali ndi moyo, potsiriza pake iwo amakakhala pamodzi ndi anthu akufa.
4 Ani naani ari pakati pavapenyu ane tariro; kunyange imbwa mhenyu iri nani kupfuura shumba yakafa!
Aliyense amene ali ndi moyo amakhala ndi chiyembekezo, pajatu galu wamoyo aposa mkango wakufa!
5 Nokuti vapenyu vanoziva kuti vachafa, asi vakafa havana chavanoziva; havachinazve mumwe mubayiro, uye nokurangarirwa kwavo kwakanganikwa.
Pakuti amoyo amadziwa kuti adzafa, koma akufa sadziwa kanthu; alibe mphotho ina yowonjezera, ndipo palibe amene amawakumbukira.
6 Rudo rwavo, ruvengo rwavo negodo zvakanguri zvapera kare; havachazovizve nechikamu, pane zvose zvinoitika pasi pezuva.
Chikondi chawo, chidani chawo ndiponso nsanje yawo, zonse zinatha kalekale; sadzakhalanso ndi gawo pa zonse zochitika pansi pano.
7 Enda, undodya zvokudya zvako nomufaro, unwe waini nomwoyo wakafara, nokuti iye zvino Mwari ndipo paari kufadzwa namabasa ako.
Pita, kadye chakudya chako mokondwera ndi kumwa vinyo wako ndi mtima wosangalala, pakuti tsopano Mulungu akukondwera ndi zochita zako.
8 Nguva dzose upfeke nguo chena, uye ugare wakazodza musoro wako namafuta.
Uzivala zovala zoyera nthawi zonse, uzidzola mafuta mʼmutu mwako nthawi zonse.
9 Fadzwa noupenyu hwako nomukadzi wako waunoda, mazuva ose oupenyu huno husina maturo Mwari hwaakakupa pasi pezuva, mazuva ose asina maturo. Nokuti uyu ndiwo mugove wako muupenyu uye mukushanda kwako nesimba pasi pezuva.
Uzikondwerera moyo pamodzi ndi mkazi wako amene umamukonda, masiku onse a moyo uno wopanda phindu, amene Mulungu wakupatsa pansi pano. Pakuti mkaziyo ndiye gawo la moyo wako pa ntchito yako yolemetsa pansi pano.
10 Zvose zvinowanikwa noruoko rwako kuti ruzviite, zviite nesimba rako rose, nokuti muguva, mauri kuenda, hamuna kushanda kana kuronga, kana ruzivo kana uchenjeri. (Sheol h7585)
Ntchito iliyonse imene ukuyigwira, uyigwire ndi mphamvu zako zonse, pakuti ku manda kumene ukupita kulibe kugwira ntchito, kulibe malingaliro, chidziwitso ndiponso nzeru. (Sheol h7585)
11 Ndakaona chimwe chinhuzve pasi pezuva: Anomhanyisa haasi iye anokunda uye ane simba haasi iye anokunda pakurwa, uye akachenjera haasi iye ane zvokudya, uye vane njere havasi ivo vane pfuma, uye vakadzidza havasi ivo vanodiwa navanhu; asi vose vanowirwa nenguva nezvinoitika.
Ine ndinaonanso chinthu china pansi pano: opambana pa kuthamanga si aliwiro, kapena opambana pa nkhondo si amphamvu, ndiponso okhala ndi chakudya si anzeru, kapena okhala ndi chuma si odziwa zambiri, kapena okomeredwa mtima si ophunzira; koma mwayi umangowagwera onsewa pa nthawi yake.
12 Pamusoro pezvo hakuna munhu anoziva nguva yake painosvika: Sehove dzinobatwa murutava rwakaipa, kana shiri dzinobatwa murugombe, saizvozvowo vanhu vanobatwa nenguva dzakaipa dzinovawira vasingatarisire.
Kungoti palibe munthu amene amadziwa kuti nthawi yake idzafika liti: monga momwe nsomba zimagwidwira mu ukonde, kapena mmene mbalame zimakodwera mu msampha, chimodzimodzinso anthu amakodwa mu msampha pa nthawi yoyipa, pamene tsoka limawagwera mosayembekezera.
13 Ndakaonazve pasi pezuva muenzaniso uyu wouchenjeri wakandifadza zvikuru:
Ine ndinaonanso pansi pano chitsanzo ichi cha nzeru chimene chinandikhudza kwambiri:
14 Kwakanga kune guta duku, raiva navanhu vashoma mariri. Mumwe mambo ane simba akarimukira, akarikomba, akarivakira masvingo makuru okurirwisa.
Panali mzinda waungʼono umene unali ndi anthu owerengeka. Ndipo mfumu yamphamvu inabwera kudzawuthira nkhondo, inawuzungulira ndi kumanga mitumbira yankhondo.
15 Zvino muguta umu maigara mumwe murume akanga ari murombo asi akachenjera, uye akaponesa guta iri nouchenjeri hwake. Asi hakuna munhu akarangarira murombo uya.
Tsono mu mzindamo munali munthu wosauka koma wanzeru, ndipo anapulumutsa mzindawo ndi nzeru zakezo. Koma palibe amene anakumbukira munthu wosaukayo.
16 Saka ndakati, “Uchenjeri hunopfuura simba.” Asi uchenjeri hwomurombo hunoshorwa uye mashoko ake haangateererwi.
Choncho ine ndinati, “Nzeru ndi yopambana mphamvu.” Koma nzeru ya munthu wosauka imanyozedwa, ndipo palibe amene amalabadirako za mawu ake.
17 Mashoko manyoro omuchenjeri anoteererwa kupfuura kudanidzira kwomunhu anobata ushe pakati pamapenzi.
Mawu oyankhula mofatsa a munthu wanzeru, anthu amawasamalira kwambiri kupambana kufuwula kwa mfumu ya zitsiru.
18 Uchenjeri hunopfuura zvombo zvehondo, asi mutadzi mumwe anoparadza zvakanaka zvizhinji.
Nzeru ndi yabwino kupambana zida zankhondo, koma wochimwa mmodzi amawononga zinthu zambiri zabwino.
