< Mika 6 >
1 Teererai zvinotaurwa naJehovha: “Simukai, taurai nyaya yenyu pamberi pamakomo; zvikomo ngazvinzwe zvamunoda kutaura.
Tamverani zimene Yehova akunena: “Nyamukani, fotokozani mlandu wanu pamaso pa mapiri; zitunda zimve zimene inu muti muyankhule.
2 Chinzwai imi makomo, kupomera kwaJehovha; teererai, imi hwaro hwenyika hunogara nokusingaperi. Nokuti Jehovha ane mhosva yaari kupa vanhu vake; anopa Israeri mhosva.
Imvani mlandu wa Yehova, inu mapiri; tamverani, maziko amuyaya a dziko lapansi. Pakuti Yehova ali ndi mlandu ndi anthu ake; Iye akutsutsa Aisraeli.
3 “Vanhu vangu, chiiko chandakakuitirai? Ndakakuremedzai neiko? Ndipindurei.
“Anthu anga, kodi ndakuchitirani chiyani? Kodi ndakutopetsani bwanji? Ndiyankheni.
4 Ndakakubudisai kubva muIjipiti uye akakudzikinurai kubva munyika youranda. Ndakatuma Mozisi kuti azokutungamirirai, naAroniwo naMiriamu.
Ine ndinakutulutsani ku dziko la Igupto ndi kukuwombolani ku nyumba ya ukapolo. Ndinatuma Mose kuti akutsogolereni, pamodzi ndi Aaroni ndi Miriamu.
5 Vanhu vangu, rangarirai zvakaranganwa naBharaki mambo weMoabhu nezvakapindurwa naBharamu mwanakomana waBheori. Rangarirai rwendo rwenyu kubva kuShitimu kusvika kuGirigari, kuti mugoziva mabasa akarurama aJehovha.”
Anthu anga, kumbukirani zimene Balaki mfumu ya ku Mowabu inafuna kukuchitirani ndiponso zimene Balaamu mwana wa Beori anayankha. Kumbukirani zomwe zinachitika pa ulendo wochoka ku Sitimu kupita ku Giligala, kuti mudziwe machitidwe olungama a Yehova.”
6 Ndichauya neiko pamberi paJehovha. Uye ndigokotama sei pamberi paMwari anokudzwa? Ndingauye pamberi pake nezvibayiro zvinopiswa nemhuru dzine gore rimwe here?
Kodi ndidzatenga chiyani kupita nacho pamaso pa Yehova ndi kukagwada pamaso pa Mulungu wakumwamba? Kodi ndidzabwera pamaso pake ndi nsembe yopsereza, ndi ana angʼombe a chaka chimodzi?
7 Ko, Jehovha angafadzwa nezviuru zvamakondobwe, uye nezviuru gumi zvenzizi dzamafuta here? Ndingapa dangwe rangu nokuda kwokudarika kwangu, icho chibereko chomuviri wangu pamusoro pokutadza kwomweya wangu here?
Kodi Yehova adzakondwera ndi nkhosa zazimuna 1,000, kapena ndi mitsinje yosalekeza ya mafuta? Kodi ndipereke nsembe mwana wanga woyamba kubadwa chifukwa cha zolakwa zanga? Chipatso cha thupi langa chifukwa cha tchimo la moyo wanga?
8 Akakuratidza, iwe munhu, kuti zvakanaka ndezvipi. Uye ndezvipi zvinodiwa naJehovha kubva kwauri? Kuita zvakarurama uye kufarira kunzwira ngoni, nokufamba naMwari wako wakazvininipisa.
Munthu iwe, Yehova wakuonetsa kale chimene chili chabwino. Tsono kodi Yehova akuyembekezera chiyani kwa iwe? Uzichita zolungama ndi kukonda chifundo ndiponso kuyenda modzichepetsa pamaso pa Mulungu wako.
9 Teererai! Jehovha anodanidzira kuguta, uye kutya zita renyu ndihwo uchenjeri: “Chenjererai shamhu naIye akaituma.
Tamverani! Yehova akuyitana anthu okhala mu mzinda ndi nzeru kuopa dzina lanu. “Mverani mfumu ndi Iye amene anayikhazikitsa.
10 Ndichazokanganwa here, iwe imba yakaipa, upfumi hwako hwakawanikwa nenzira dzakaipa, nechiero cheefa chakatapudzwa, chakatukwa?
Inu anthu oyipa, kodi Ine nʼkuyiwala chuma chanu chimene munachipeza mwachinyengo, ndiponso muyeso wanu woperewera umene ndi wotembereredwa?
11 Ndingaregerera munhu ane chiero chinonyengera nesaga rezviero zvenhema here?
Kodi ndimutenge ngati wosalakwa munthu amene ali ndi sikelo yachinyengo, ndiponso miyeso yabodza mʼthumba lake?
12 Vapfumi vake vanoita nechisimba; vanhu vake varevi venhema, uye miromo yavo inotaura nokunyengera.
Anthu ake olemera amachita zachiwawa; anthu ake ndi abodza ndipo pakamwa pawo pamayankhula zachinyengo.
13 Naizvozvo, ndatotanga kukuparadzai, kukuitai dongo nokuda kwezvivi zvenyu.
Choncho, ndayamba kukuwonongani, kukusakazani chifukwa cha machimo anu.
14 Muchadya asi hamungaguti: dumbu renyu richaramba risina chinhu. Muchaisa mudura asi mugoshaya zvamachengeta, nokuti zvamunounganidza ndichazviparadza nomunondo.
Mudzadya, koma simudzakhuta; mudzakhalabe ndi njala. Mudzasunga zinthu, koma sizidzasungika, chifukwa zimene mudzasunga zidzawonongedwa ndi lupanga.
15 Muchadyara asi hamungakohwi; muchasvina maorivhi asi hamungazori mafuta acho, muchasvina mazambiringa asi hamunganwi waini yacho.
Mudzadzala, koma simudzakolola. Mudzayenga mafuta a olivi, koma simudzawagwiritsa ntchito. Mudzaponda mphesa, koma simudzamwa vinyo wake.
16 Makachengeta zvirevo zvaOmuri uye namabasa ose eimba yaAhabhu, uye makatevera tsika dzavo. Naizvozvo ndichakuisai mukuparadzwa, nevanhu venyu mukusekwa; muchatakura kushorwa kwendudzi.”
Inu mwatsatira malangizo a Omuri ndiponso machitidwe onse a banja la Ahabu, ndi khalidwe lawo lonse. Choncho Ine ndidzakuperekani kuti muwonongedwe ndiponso anthu anu kuti azunguzike mitu; mudzanyozedwa ndi anthu a mitundu ina.”
