1 Saizvozvo vakadzi, muzviise pasi pevarume venyu pachenyu; kuti kanawo vamwe vasingateereri kushoko, vawanikwe nemafambiro evakadzi pasina shoko,
Momwemonso, akazi inu gonjerani amuna anu kuti ngati ena a iwo sakhulupirira Mawu a Mulungu, akopeke ndi makhalidwe a akazi awo ndipo sipadzafunikanso mawu
2 vachiona mafambiro enyu akachena pakutya.
pamene aona moyo wanu wachiyero ndi moyo woopa Mulungu.
3 Kushonga kwenyu ngakurege kuva kwekunze kwekuruka vhudzi nekwekupfeka goridhe, kana kupfeka nguvo;
Kudzikongoletsa kwanu kusakhale kwa maonekedwe akunja, monga kuluka tsitsi ndi kuvala zokometsera zagolide ndi zovala zamberewere.
4 asi ngakuve munhu wakavanzika wemoyo, pachinhu chisingaori chemweya munyoro wakanyarara, anokosha zvikuru pamberi paMwari.
Mʼmalo mwake kudzikongoletsa kwanu kukhale kwa munthu wa mʼkatimo, kukongola kosatha kwa mtima ofatsa ndi mzimu wachete, zimene ndi za mtengowapatali pamaso pa Mulungu.
5 Nokuti karewo vakazvishongedza saizvozvo vakadzi vatsvene vaivimba naMwari, vachizviisa pasi pevarume vavo pachavo;
Pakuti umo ndi mmene akazi oyera mtima akale amene anali ndi chiyembekezo pa Mulungu anadzikongoletsera. Iwo ankagonjera amuna awo,
6 saSara akateerera Abhurahama akamuidza ishe; vakunda vake vamuri imwi, kana muchiita zvakanaka, uye musingatyiswi nechipi nechipi chinovhundusa.
monga Sara, amene anamvera Abrahamu namutcha iye mbuye wake. Akazi inu ndinu ana ake ngati muchita zoyenera, ndipo musaope choopsa chilichonse.
7 Saizvozvo varume, garisanai nevakadzi venyu zvinoenderana neruzivo, muchikudza mukadzi sekumudziyo usina simba, sevadyiwo venhaka yenyasha dzeupenyu pamwe navo; kuti minyengetero yenyu irege kudzivirirwa.
Momwemonso amuna inu, khalani mwanzeru ndi akazi anu, ndipo muwachitire ulemu monga anzanu ofowoka ndiponso olandira nanu pamodzi mphatso ya moyo wosatha, kuti pasakhale kanthu kotsekereza mapemphero anu.
8 Pakupedzisirawo, ivai nemoyo umwe mese, muchinzwirana tsitsi, mude hama, muve nemoyo munyoro, mune rudo;
Potsiriza, nonse khalani a mtima umodzi, omverana chisoni. Kondanani monga abale, muchitirane chifundo ndi kudzichepetsa.
9 musingatsivi chakaipa nechakaipa, kana kutuka nekutuka; asi pachinzvimbo chaizvozvo muchiropafadze, muchiziva kuti ndizvo zvamakadanirwa, kuti mugare nhaka yeropafadzo.
Wina akakuchitirani choyipa musabwezere pochitanso choyipa, kapena kubwezera chipongwe akakuchitirani chipongwe, koma muwadalitse. Munayitanidwa kuti mulandire mdalitso.
10 Nokuti uyo anoda kuda upenyu, nekuona mazuva akanaka, ngaadzore rurimi rwake pane zvakaipa, nemiromo yake kuti irege kutaura kunyengera.
Pakuti, “Iye amene angakonde moyo ndi kuona masiku abwino, aletse lilime lake kuyankhula zoyipa, ndiponso milomo yake kunena mabodza.
11 Ngaatsauke pane zvakaipa ndokuita zvakanaka; ngaatsvake rugare arutevere.
Apewe zoyipa, ndipo azichita zabwino. Afunefune mtendere ndi kuyesetsa kuwupeza.
12 Nokuti meso aIshe ari pamusoro pevakarurama, nenzeve dzake pamunyengetero wavo. Asi chiso chaIshe chinopikisa vanoita zvakaipa.
Pakuti Ambuye amayangʼanira bwino anthu olungama ndipo amatchera khutu ku mapemphero awo. Koma Ambuye sawayangʼana bwino amene amachita zoyipa.”
13 Zvino ndiani achakukuvadzai, kana muri vatevedzeri vezvakanaka?
Ndani angakuchitireni zoyipa ngati muchita changu kuchita zabwino?
14 Asi kunyange kana imwi muchitambudzika nekuda kwekururama, makaropafadzwa; uye musatya kutyisa kwavo, kana kuvhiringidzwa;
Koma ngakhale mumve zowawa chifukwa cha chilungamo, ndinu odala. “Musaope anthu, musachite mantha.”
15 asi itai Ishe Mwari mutsvene mumoyo yenyu; mugare makazvigadzirira kupindura umwe neumwe anokubvunzai chikonzero chetariro iri mukati menyu, neunyoro nekutya;
Koma lemekezani Khristu mʼmitima mwanu ngati Ambuye wanu. Khalani okonzeka nthawi zonse kuyankha aliyense amene akufunsani za chiyembekezo chimene muli nacho.
16 mune hana yakanaka, kuti pavanokucherai sevaiti vezvakaipa vanyare, ivo vanotuka mafambiro enyu akanaka muna Kristu.
Koma chitani zimenezi mofatsa ndi mwaulemu, mukhale ndi chikumbumtima chosakutsutsani, kuti anthu ena akanena zoyipa za makhalidwe anu abwino mwa Khristu, achite okha manyazi ndi chipongwe chawocho.
17 Nokuti zviri nani kutambudzika muchiita zvakanaka, kana chido chaMwari chichida, pane muchiita zvakaipa.
Nʼkwabwino ngati ndi chifuniro cha Mulungu kumva zowawa chifukwa chochita zabwino kusiyana ndi kumva zowawa chifukwa chochita zoyipa.
18 Nokuti Kristuwo wakatambudzika kamwe nekuda kwezvivi, iye wakarurama pachinzvimbo chevasakarurama, kuti atiise kuna Mwari; aurawa zvirokwazvo panyama, asi wakararamiswa neMweya;
Pakuti Khristu anafa chifukwa cha machimo kamodzi kokha kufera onse, wolungama kufera osalungama, kuti akufikitseni kwa Mulungu. Anaphedwa ku thupi koma anapatsidwa moyo mu mzimu.
19 mauri wakaendawo akaparidzira kumweya iri mutirongo,
Ndipo ali ngati mzimu chomwecho anapita ndi kukalalikira mizimu imene inali mʼndende,
20 iyo yaimbova isingateereri, apo moyo murefu waMwari uchimirira, pamazuva aNowa apo areka ichagadzirwa, kukaponeswa mairi vashoma, ndiko kuti mweya misere nemvura.
ya anthu amene sanamvere Mulungu atadikira moleza mtima pa nthawi imene Nowa ankapanga chombo. Mʼchombo chija anthu owerengeka okha, asanu ndi atatu, ndiwo anapulumutsidwa ku madzi.
21 Mufananidzo wayo rubhabhatidzo rwunotiponesawo ikozvino, kwete kubviswa kwetsvina yenyama, asi kukumbira kwehana yakanaka kuna Mwari kubudikidza nekumukazve kwaJesu Kristu,
Madziwo akufanizira ubatizo umene lero ukukupulumutsaninso, osati chifukwa chochotsa litsiro la mʼthupi koma chifukwa cha chikumbumtima choona pamaso pa Mulungu. Umakupulumutsani chifukwa cha kuuka kwa Yesu Khristu,
22 ari kuruoko rwerudyi rwaMwari aenda kudenga; vatumwa neumambo nemasimba zvaiswa pasi pake.
amene anapita kumwamba ndipo ali kudzanja lamanja la Mulungu komwe angelo ndi maulamuliro ndi amphamvu amamvera Iye.
