< Zvirevo 11 >
1 Jehovha anovenga zviero zvinonyengera, asi zviero zvakakwana zvinomufadza.
Muyeso wachinyengo Yehova umamunyansa, koma amakondwera ndi muyeso woyenera.
2 Kana kuzvikudza kwasvika, ipapo kunyadziswa kwasvikawo, asi uchenjeri huri kune akazvininipisa.
Kunyada kukalowa, pamafikanso manyazi, koma pamene pali kudzichepetsa pameneponso pali nzeru.
3 Unhu hwavakarurama hunovatungamirira, asi vasina kutendeka vanoparadzwa nokunyengera kwavo.
Ungwiro wa anthu olungama umawatsogolera, koma anthu osakhulupirika amawonongeka ndi chinyengo chawo.
4 Pfuma haibatsiri chinhu pazuva rokutsamwa, asi kururama kunorwira parufu.
Chuma sichithandiza pa tsiku lawukali wa Mulungu, koma chilungamo chimapulumutsa ku imfa.
5 Kururama kwavasina chavangapomerwa kunovaruramisira nzira yavo, asi vakaipa vachaparadzwa nezvakaipa zvavo.
Chilungamo cha anthu angwiro chimawongolera moyo wawo, koma ntchito zoyipa zimagwetsa mwini wake yemweyo.
6 Kururama kwavakarurama kunovarwira, asi vasina kutendeka vanosungwa nezvishuvo zvavo zvakaipa.
Chilungamo cha anthu oyera mtima chimawapulumutsa, koma anthu onyenga adzagwidwa ndi zilakolako zawo zomwe.
7 Kana munhu akaipa afa, tariro yake yaparara; zvose zvaaitarisira kubva pasimba rake zvaparadzwa.
Pamene munthu woyipa wafa, chiyembekezo chake chimathanso. Chiyembekezo cha munthu wosalungama chimawonongeka.
8 Munhu akarurama anonunurwa kubva mudambudziko, uye rigoenda kuno munhu akaipa panzvimbo yake.
Munthu wolungama amapulumutsidwa ku mavuto, koma mʼmalo mwake amagwa mʼmavutomo ndi anthu oyipa.
9 Munhu asina umwari anoparadza muvakidzani wake nomuromo wake, asi kubudikidza nezivo akarurama anopunyuka.
Munthu wosapembedza amawononga mnansi wake ndi pakamwa pake, koma munthu wolungama amapulumuka chifukwa cha kudziwa zinthu.
10 Vakarurama pavanobudirira, guta rinofara; vakaipa pavanoparara, kupembera nomufaro zvinonzwikwa.
Anthu olungama zinthu zikamawayendera bwino, mzinda wonse umakondwera, ndipo oyipa akamawonongeka anthu amafuwula mwachimwemwe.
11 Kubudikidza nokuropafadzwa kwomunhu akarurama, guta rinosimudzirwa, asi nomuromo womunhu akaipa rinoparadzwa.
Mzinda umakwezeka chifukwa cha madalitso a anthu oyera mtima, koma umawonongedwa chifukwa cha pakamwa pa anthu oyipa.
12 Munhu anoshayiwa uchenjeri anoseka muvakidzani wake, asi munhu anonzwisisa anodzora rurimi rwake.
Munthu wonyoza mnzake ndi wopanda nzeru, koma munthu wanzeru zomvetsa zinthu amakhala chete.
13 Guhwa rinoparadza chivimbo, asi munhu akavimbika anochengetedza zvakavanzika.
Amene amanka nachita ukazitape amawulula zinsinsi; koma munthu wokhulupirika amasunga pakamwa pake.
14 Nokuda kwokushaya utungamiri rudzi runoparara, asi varayiri vazhinji vanoita kuti kukunda kuvepo.
Pakasoweka uphungu mtundu wa anthu umagwa; koma pakakhala aphungu ambiri pamakhalanso chipulumutso.
15 Uyo anoisira mumwe rubatso zvirokwazvo achaona nhamo, asi ani naani anoramba kumbundana maoko achiita mhiko achapona.
Woperekera mlendo chikole adzapeza mavuto, koma wodana ndi za chikole amakhala pa mtendere.
16 Mukadzi ane mwoyo munyoro achakudzwa, asi varume vane utsinye vachawana pfuma chete.
Mkazi wodekha amalandira ulemu, koma amuna ankhanza amangopata chuma.
17 Munhu ane tsitsi anozviitira zvakanaka iye pachake, asi munhu ane utsinye anozviunzira dambudziko.
Munthu wachifundo amadzipindulira zabwino koma munthu wankhanza amadzibweretsera mavuto.
18 Munhu akaipa anowana mubayiro wokunyengedzera, asi uyo anodyara kururama anokohwa mubayiro wechokwadi.
Munthu woyipa amalandira malipiro wopanda phindu, koma wochita chilungamo amakolola mphotho yeniyeni.
19 Munhu akarurama zvechokwadi anowana upenyu, asi uyo anotevera zvakaipa anoenda kurufu rwake.
Munthu wochita za chilungamo amapeza moyo, koma wothamangira zoyipa adzafa.
20 Jehovha anovenga vanhu vane mwoyo yakaipa, asi anofarira avo vane nzira dzisina chadzingapomerwa.
Yehova amanyansidwa ndi anthu a mtima wokhotakhota koma amakondwera ndi anthu a makhalidwe angwiro.
21 Zvirokwazvo akaipa acharangwa bedzi, asi vakarurama vachasunungurwa.
Zoonadi, anthu oyipa adzalangidwa, koma anthu olungama adzapulumuka.
22 Sezvakaita mukaro wegoridhe mumhino dzenguruve, ndizvo zvakaitawo mukadzi akanaka pachiso asi asina njere.
Monga imaonekera mphete yagolide ikakhala pa mphuno ya nkhumba, ndi momwenso amaonekera mkazi wokongola wamʼkamwa.
23 Chishuvo cheakarurama chinoguma mune zvakanaka chete, asi tariro yeakaipa inogumira mukutsamwirwa.
Zokhumba za anthu olungama zimathera pa zabwino zokhazokha, koma chiyembekezo cha anthu oyipa chimathera mu ukali wa Mulungu.
24 Mumwe munhu anongopa pachena, asi achitowana zvimwe zvakawanda; mumwe anonyima zvaanofanira kupa, asi agova murombo.
Munthu wina amapatsako anzake zinthu mwaufulu nʼkumangolemererabe; wina amamana chomwe akanatha kupereka, koma kumanka nasawukabe.
25 Munhu anopavhurira achabudirira; uyo anomutsiridza vamwe achamutsiridzwawo.
Munthu wopereka mowolowamanja adzalemera; iye amene amathandiza ena iyenso adzathandizidwa.
26 Vanhu vanotuka munhu anounganidza zviyo vamwe vasina, asi mukomborero uchava korona youyo anofarira kutengesa.
Anthu amatemberera womana anzake chakudya, koma madalitso amakhala pamutu pa munthu amene amagulitsa chakudyacho.
27 Uyo anotsvaka zvakanaka achawana nyasha, asi zvakaipa zvinosvika kune uyo anozvitsvaka.
Iye amene amafunafuna zabwino mwakhama amapeza zabwinozo, koma wofunafuna zoyipa zidzamupeza.
28 Ani naani anovimba noupfumi hwake achawa, asi akarurama achanaka seshizha nyoro.
Aliyense amene amadalira chuma chake adzafota, koma wolungama adzaphukira ngati tsamba lobiriwira.
29 Uyo anouyisa dambudziko kumhuri yake achagara nhaka yemhepo chete, uye benzi richava muranda womunhu akachenjera.
Wovutitsa a mʼnyumba mwake adzalowa mʼmavuto, ndipo chitsiru chidzakhala kapolo wa munthu wa nzeru.
30 Chibereko chokururama ndiwo muti woupenyu, uye anotungamirira mweya yavanhu kuruponeso ndiye akachenjera.
Chipatso cha ntchito zabwino ndi moyo, ndipo kusatsata malamulo kumawonongetsa moyo.
31 Kana vakarurama vachiwana zvakavafanira panyika, ko, kuzoti akaipa nomutadzi!
Ngati anthu olungama amalandira mphotho zawo pa dziko lapansi, kuli bwanji anthu osapembedza ndi ochimwa!
