< Zvirevo 12 >
1 Ani naani anofarira kuzvirovedza anoda zivo, asi uyo anovenga kudzorwa ibenzi.
Munthu amene amakonda mwambo amakonda kudziwa zinthu, koma amene amadana ndi chidzudzulo ndi wopusa.
2 Munhu akanaka anowana nyasha kubva kuna Jehovha, asi Jehovha anotuka munhu ane mano akaipa.
Munthu wabwino amapeza kuyanja pamaso pa Yehova, koma Yehova amatsutsa munthu wochita chinyengo.
3 Munhu haangasimbiswi nezvakaipa, asi mudzi womunhu akarurama haungadzurwi.
Munthu sangakhazikike bwino pochita zoyipa, koma maziko a anthu olungama sadzatekeseka.
4 Mudzimai ane unhu hwakanaka ikorona kumurume wake, asi mudzimai anonyadzisa akafanana nokuora mumapfupa omurume wake.
Mkazi wakhalidwe labwino ali ngati chipewa chaufumu kwa mwamuna wake, koma mkazi wochititsa manyazi ali ngati chilonda cha mafinya kwa mwamuna wake.
5 Urongwa hwomunhu akarurama hwakarurama, asi kurayira kwavakaipa kunonyengera.
Maganizo a anthu olungama ndi owongoka, koma malangizo a anthu oyipa ndi achinyengo.
6 Mashoko owakaipa anovandira ropa, asi kutaura kwavakarurama kunovanunura.
Mawu a anthu oyipa ndi ophetsa, koma mawu a anthu olungama amapulumutsa.
7 Vanhu vakaipa vanobviswa pachigaro uye havazovapozve, asi imba yowakarurama icharamba yakasimba.
Anthu oyipa amagonjetsedwa ndipo amayiwalika, koma nyumba ya anthu olungama idzakhalabe.
8 Munhu anorumbidzwa maererano nouchenjeri hwake, asi vanhu vane pfungwa dzakatsauka vanozvidzwa.
Munthu amatamandidwa malinga ndi nzeru zake, koma anthu amitima yokhota amanyozedwa.
9 Zviri nani kuva munhu anoninipiswa asi iwe une muranda, pane kuzviita munhu wapamusoro iwe usina zvokudya.
Nʼkwabwino kukhala munthu wonyozeka koma wodzigwirira ntchito nʼkukhala ndi zonse zofunika, kuposa kukhala wodzikuza koma ulibe ndi chakudya chomwe.
10 Munhu akarurama ane hanya nechipfuwo chake, asi zviito zvakanaka zvowakaipa utsinye.
Munthu wolungama amasamalira moyo wa ziweto zake, koma chifundo cha munthu woyipa ndi chakhanza.
11 Uyo anoshanda mumunda wake achava nezvokudya zvakawanda, asi uyo anongotevera zvisina maturo anoshayiwa zivo.
Wolima mʼmunda mwake mwakhama adzakhala ndi chakudya chochuluka, koma wotsata zopanda pake alibe nzeru.
12 Vakaipa vanopanga zvakapambwa zvavanhu vakaipa, asi mudzi woakarurama unobereka zvibereko.
Munthu woyipa amalakalaka zofunkha za anthu oyipa, koma mizu ya anthu olungama imabereka zipatso.
13 Munhu akaipa anobatwa nokutaura kwake kwakaipa, asi munhu akarurama anopunyuka padambudziko.
Munthu woyipa amakodwa mu msampha wa mayankhulidwe ake oyipa; koma munthu wolungama amatuluka mʼmavuto.
14 Kubva pazvibereko zvemiromo yake munhu anozadzwa nezvinhu zvakanaka, zvirokwazvo sokupiwa mubayiro kwaanoitwa nebasa ramaoko ake.
Munthu amakhala ndi zabwino zambiri chifukwa cha mawu ake ndipo ntchito zimene munthu agwira ndi manja ake zimamupindulira.
15 Nzira yebenzi inoita seyakanaka kwaari, asi munhu akachenjera anoteerera kurayira.
Zochita za chitsiru mwini wakeyo amaziona ngati zabwino, koma munthu wanzeru amamvera malangizo.
16 Benzi rinoratidza kutsamwa pakarepo, asi munhu akachenjera anoshayira hanya kutukwa.
Mkwiyo wa chitsiru umadziwika nthawi yomweyo, koma munthu wanzeru sasamala kunyozedwa.
17 Chapupu chezvokwadi chinopa uchapupu hwezvokwadi, asi chapupu chenhema chinoreva nhema.
Woyankhula zoona amapereka umboni woona, koma mboni yabodza imafotokoza zonama.
18 Mashoko anotaurwa nokusarangarira anobaya somunondo, asi rurimi rwomunhu akachenjera runoporesa.
Munthu woyankhula mosasamala mawu ake amalasa ngati lupanga, koma mawu a munthu wanzeru amachiritsa.
19 Miromo yezvokwadi ichasimbiswa nokusingaperi, asi rurimi runoreva nhema runogara kwechinguva chiduku.
Mawu woona amakhala mpaka muyaya koma mawu abodza sakhalitsa.
20 Mune kunyengera mumwoyo yaavo vanoronga zvakaipa, asi rufaro rwuri kune avo vanokurudzira rugare.
Mʼmitima ya anthu amene amakonza zoyipa muli chinyengo; koma anthu olimbikitsa za mtendere amakhala ndi chimwemwe.
21 Akarurama haangatongowirwi nezvakaipa, asi vakaipa vachava namatambudziko akavafanira.
Palibe choyipa chimene chimagwera munthu wolungama, koma munthu woyipa mavuto samuthera.
22 Jehovha anovenga miromo inotaura nhema, asi anofadzwa navanhu vanotaura chokwadi.
Pakamwa pa bodza pamamunyansa Yehova, koma amakondwera ndi anthu oyankhula zoona.
23 Munhu akachenjera anovanza zivo yake, asi mwoyo yamapenzi inotaura zvoupenzi.
Munthu wochenjera amabisa nzeru zake, koma munthu wopusa amaonetsa uchitsiru wake poyera.
24 Maoko anoshingaira achatonga, asi usimbe hunopedzisira mukushanda somuranda.
Ogwira ntchito mwakhama adzalamulira, koma aulesi adzakhala ngati kapolo.
25 Mwoyo unopunyaira unoremedza munhu, asi shoko nyoro rinomufadza.
Nkhawa imakhala ngati katundu wolemera mu mtima mwa munthu, koma mawu abwino amamusangalatsa.
26 Munhu akarurama anochenjerera ushamwari, asi nzira yavakaipa inovatungamirira mukurasika.
Munthu wolungama amatsogolera mnansi wake, koma ntchito za anthu oyipa zimawasocheretsa.
27 Munhu ane usimbe haagochi mhuka yaabata, asi munhu anoshingaira anokoshesa pfuma yake.
Munthu waulesi sapeza chimene akufuna, koma munthu wakhama amapeza chuma chamtengo wapatali.
28 Munzira yokururama mune upenyu; kwainoenda hakuna rufu.
Mʼnjira yachilungamo muli moyo; koma njira ya munthu woyipa imafikitsa ku imfa.
