< Zvirevo 16 >
1 Kuronga kwomwoyo ndekwomunhu, asi mhinduro yorurimi inobva kuna Jehovha.
Zolinga za mu mtima ndi za munthu, koma kwa Yehova ndiye kumachokera yankho.
2 Nzira dzose dzomunhu dzinoita sedzakanaka pakuona kwake, asi Jehovha anoyera zvinangwa.
Zochita zonse za munthu zimaoneka zabwino pamaso pake, koma Yehova ndiye amasanthula zolinga zako.
3 Kumikidza kuna Jehovha chose chaunoita, ipapo urongwa hwako huchabudirira.
Pereka ntchito zako zonse mʼmanja mwa Yehova, ndipo zolinga zako zidzachitikadi.
4 Jehovha anoitira zvinhu zvose magumo azvo; kunyange akaipa anomuitira zuva renjodzi.
Yehova amachita zonse ndi cholinga chake, ngakhale anthu oyipa kuti aone tsiku latsoka.
5 Jehovha anovenga vose vane mwoyo inozvikudza. Zvirokwazvo, havangaregi kurangwa.
Munthu aliyense wodzikuza amamunyansa Yehova. Koma dziwani izi: Iwo sadzakhala osalangidwa.
6 Kubudikidza norudo nokutendeka, chivi chinoyananisirwa, kubudikidza nokutya Jehovha munhu anorega kuita zvakaipa.
Chifukwa cha chikondi chosasinthika ndi kukhulupirika, munthu amakhululukidwa machimo ake; chifukwa cha kuopa Yehova munthu amapewa zoyipa.
7 Kana nzira dzomunhu dzichifadza Jehovha, anoita kuti kunyange vavengi vake vagarisane naye murugare.
Pamene makhalidwe a munthu akondweretsa Yehova, ngakhale adani ake amakhala naye mwa mtendere.
8 Zviri nani kuva nezvishoma mukururama, pane kuva nezvakawanda kwazvo mukusaruramisira.
Kuli bwino kukhala ndi zinthu pangʼono zozipeza mwachilungamo, kusiyana ndi kukhala ndi zinthu zambiri zozipeza popanda chilungamo.
9 Mumwoyo make munhu anoronga gwara rake, asi Jehovha ndiye anotonga kufamba kwake.
Mtima wa munthu umalingalira zochita, koma Yehova ndiye amakhazikitsa njira zake.
10 Miromo yamambo inotaura seinotaura chirevo chaMwari, uye muromo wake haufaniri kurega kururamisira.
Mawu a mfumu ali ngati mawu ochokera kwa Mulungu; ndipo pakamwa pake sipalakwa poweruza mlandu.
11 Zviyero nezvienzaniso zvechokwadi zvinobva kuna Jehovha; zviyero zvose zviri muhomwe ndiye akazviita.
Miyeso ndi masikelo achilungamo zimachokera kwa Yehova; miyala yonse yoyesera ya mʼthumba anayipanga ndi Yehova.
12 Madzimambo anovenga kuita zvakaipa, nokuti chigaro choushe chinosimbiswa nokururama.
Kuchita zoyipa kumanyansa mafumu, pakuti chilungamo ndiye maziko a ufumu wake.
13 Madzimambo anofarira miromo inotaura chokwadi; anoremekedza munhu anotaura chokwadi.
Mawu owona amakondweretsa mfumu. Iyo imakonda munthu woyankhula choonadi.
14 Kutsamwa kwamambo inhume yorufu, asi munhu akachenjera anonyaradza kutsamwa uku.
Ukali wa mfumu ndi mthenga wa imfa, koma munthu wanzeru amawupepesa ukaliwo.
15 Kana chiso chamambo chichibwinya, zvinoreva upenyu, nyasha dzake dzakaita segore remvura panguva yomunakamwe.
Kuwala kwa nkhope ya mfumu kumapatsa moyo; ndipo kukoma mtima kwake kuli ngati mitambo ya mvula nthawi ya chilimwe.
16 Zviri nani sei kuwana uchenjeri pane goridhe, kusarudza njere pane sirivha!
Nʼkwabwino kwambiri kupeza nzeru kupambana golide. Kukhala womvetsa bwino zinthu nʼkwabwino kupambana ndi kukhala ndi siliva.
17 Mugwagwa mukuru wavakarurama unonzvenga zvakaipa; uye anochengeta nzira yake anochengeta upenyu hwake.
Msewu wa munthu wowongoka mtima umapewa zoyipa; wopenyetsetsa kumene akupita amasunga moyo wake.
18 Kuzvikudza kunotangira kuparadzwa, mweya wamanyawi unotangira kuwa.
Kunyada kumafikitsa ku chiwonongeko, ndipo munthu wodzikuza adzagwa.
19 Zviri nani kuva nomweya unozvininipisa pakati pavakadzvinyirirwa pane kugoverana zvakapambwa navanozvikudza.
Nʼkwabwino kukhala ndi mtima wodzichepetsa pakati pa anthu oponderezedwa, kusiyana ndi kugawana zolanda ndi anthu onyada.
20 Ani naani anoteerera kurayirwa achabudirira, uye akaropafadzwa uyo anovimba naJehovha.
Munthu womvera malangizo zinthu zimamuyendera bwino, ndipo wodala ndi amene amadalira Yehova.
21 Vakachenjera pamwoyo vanonzi ndivo vanonzvera, uye mashoko akanaka anokurudzira kurayirwa.
A mtima wanzeru amatchedwa ozindikira zinthu, ndipo mawu ake okoma amawonjezera nzeru.
22 Njere itsime roupenyu kuna avo vanadzo, asi upenzi hunouyisa kurangwa kumapenzi.
Kumvetsa zinthu ndi kasupe wa moyo kwa iwo amene ali nako, koma uchitsiru umabweretsa chilango kwa zitsiru.
23 Mwoyo womunhu akachenjera unotungamirira muromo wake, uye miromo yake inokurudzira kurayirwa.
Mtima wanzeru umathandiza munthu kuyankhula mwa nzeru, ndipo mawu ake amawonjezera nzeru.
24 Mashoko anofadza akafanana nezinga rouchi, anozipa kumweya, anoporesa mapfupa.
Mawu okometsera ali ngati chisa cha njuchi, amakoma mu mtima ndipo amalimbitsa thupi.
25 Kune nzira inoita seyakanaka kumunhu, asi magumo ayo inoenda kurufu.
Pali njira ina yooneka ngati yowongoka kwa munthu koma kumatsiriziro kwake ndi imfa.
26 Nzara yomushandi inomushandira; nzara yake inoita kuti arambe achishanda.
Njala ya munthu wantchito imamuthandiza kulimbikira; njalayo imamukakamiza kuchitapo kanthu.
27 Munhu asina maturo anoronga zvakaipa, uye matauriro ake akaita somoto unopisa.
Munthu wopanda pake amakonzekera kuchita zoyipa ndipo mawu ake ali ngati moto wopsereza.
28 Munhu akatsauka anomutsa kupesana, uye guhwa rinoparadzanisa shamwari dzepedyo.
Munthu woyipa mtima amayambitsa mikangano, ndipo miseche imalekanitsa anthu okondana kwambiri.
29 Munhu anoita nechisimba anonyengera muvakidzani wake, uye anomufambisa napanzira isina kunaka.
Munthu wandewu amakopa mnansi wake, ndipo amamuyendetsa njira imene si yabwino.
30 Uyo anochonya nameso ake ari kuronga zvakaipa; uyo anoruma miromo yake ari kuda kuita zvakaipa.
Amene amatsinzinira maso ake amalingalira zinthu zokhota; amene amachita msunamo amakonzeka kuchita zoyipa.
31 Bvudzi rakachena ikorona yakaisvonaka; inowanikwa noupenyu hwakarurama.
Imvi zili ngati chipewa chaufumu chaulemerero; munthu amazipeza akakhala moyo wolungama.
32 Zviri nani kuva munhu ane mwoyo murefu pane kuva murwi, munhu anozvibata pakutsamwa kwake ari nani pane uyo anotapa guta.
Munthu wosapsa mtima msanga amaposa munthu wankhondo, munthu wowugwira mtima wake amaposa amene amalanda mzinda.
33 Mujenya unokandirwa pamakumbo, asi zvirevo zvose zvinobva kuna Jehovha.
Maere amaponyedwa pa mfunga, koma ndiye Yehova amene amalongosola zonse.
