< Zvirevo 9 >
1 Uchenjeri hwakavaka imba yahwo; hwakaveza mbiru dzahwo nomwe.
Nzeru inamanga nyumba yake; inayimika nsanamira zake zisanu ndi ziwiri.
2 Hwakabika nyama yahwo; uye hukagadzira waini yahwo; hwakagadzirawo tafura yahwo.
Inapha ziweto zake ndipo yasakaniza vinyo wake; inasakaniza vinyo wake ndi kuyala tebulo lake.
3 Hwakatuma varandakadzi vahwo, uye hunodanidzira kubva panzvimbo yakakwirira kwazvo yeguta.
Nzeruyo inatuma adzakazi ake, kuti akakhale pamwamba penipeni pa mzinda ndi kukalengeza kuti,
4 Kuna avo vanoshayiwa njere hunoti, “Vose vasina uchenjeri ngavauye muno!
“Aliyense amene ali munthu wamba, abwere kuno!” Kwa onse opanda nzeru inkanena kuti,
5 Uyai, mudye zvokudya zvangu munwe waini yandagadzira.
“Bwerani, dzadyeni chakudya changa ndipo dzamweni vinyo amene ndakonza.
6 Siyai nzira dzenyu dzisina mano mugorarama; fambai munzira yokunzwisisa.
Lekani zopusa zanu kuti mukhale ndi moyo; yendani njira ya nzeru yomvetsa zinthu.”
7 “Ani naani anorayira mudadi anozvitsvakira kutukwa; ani naani anotsiura munhu akaipa anozviwanira kutukwa.
Aliyense amene amayesa kukonza munthu wonyoza amadziputira minyozo; aliyense amene amadzudzula munthu woyipa amadetsa mbiri yake.
8 Usatsiura mudadi kuti arege kukuvenga; tsiura munhu akachenjera uye achakuda.
Usadzudzule munthu wonyoza kuti angadzadane nawe; dzudzula munthu wanzeru ndipo adzakukonda.
9 Rayira munhu akachenjera uye achawedzera uchenjeri hwake; dzidzisa munhu akarurama uye achawedzera kudzidza kwake.
Ukalangiza munthu wanzeru ndiye adzapitirira kukhala wanzeru; ukaphunzitsa munthu wolungama ndiye adzawonjezera kuphunzira kwake.
10 “Kutya Jehovha ndiwo mavambo ouchenjeri, uye kuziva Iye Mutsvene ndiko kunzwisisa.
Kuopa Yehova ndiye chiyambi cha nzeru; kudziwa Woyerayo ndiko kukhala womvetsa bwino zinthu.
11 Nokuti neni mazuva ako achava mazhinji, uye makore achawedzerwa kuupenyu hwako.
Chifukwa cha ine nzeru, masiku ako adzachuluka, ndipo zaka za moyo wako zidzawonjezeredwa.
12 Kana uri wakachenjera, uchenjeri hwako huchakupa mubayiro; kana uri mudadi, iwe woga ndiwe uchatambura.”
Ngati ndiwe wanzeru, nzeru yakoyo idzakupindulitsa; ngati ndiwe wonyoza ena, udzavutika wekha.
13 Mukadzi benzi ane ruzha; haana kudzikama uye haana zivo.
Uchitsiru ndi mkazi waphokoso, wopulikira ndiponso wosadziwa zinthu.
14 Anogara pamusuo wemba yake, napachigaro chiri panzvimbo yakakwiririsa yeguta,
Iye amakhala pa mpando, pa khomo la nyumba yake, pamalo aatali a mu mzinda,
15 achidanidzira kuna avo vanenge vachipfuura napo, vaya vanofamba zvakarurama nenzira yavo.
kuti aziyitana anthu ongodutsa, amene akunka nayenda njira zawo.
16 Anoti kuna vaya vasina njere, “Vose vasina mano ngavauye muno!
Amati, “Onse amene ndi anthu wamba abwere kuno,” ndipo kwa wopanda nzeru amati,
17 Mvura yakabiwa inozipa; zvokudya zvinodyirwa muchivande zvinonaka!”
“Madzi akuba ndiye amatsekemera; chakudya chodya mobisa ndi chokoma!”
18 Asi zvavasingazivi ndezvokuti mune vakafa, uye kuti vanomushanyira vari mukati kati meguva. (Sheol )
Koma amunawo sadziwa kuti akufa ali kale komweko, ndi kuti alendo ake alowa kale mʼmanda akuya. (Sheol )
