Zintharika 20:1-30
20 Vinyo likuzelezeska,+ chakumwa chakuloŵezga chikuhangayiska,+Waliyose uyo wakupuluskika navyo walije vinjeru.+
2 Kofya kwa themba kuli nga nkhubangura kwa nkhalamu.+Yose uyo wakulikwiyiska wakuŵika umoyo wake pangozi.+
3 Ni ntchindi kwa munthu kukana mphindano,+Kweni yose uyo ntchindere wakunjiramo waka.+
4 Munthu mukata wakulima yayi mu chifuku,Ntheura wazamupempheska mu nyengo ya vuna, para walije kanthu.*+
5 Maghanoghano* mu mtima wa munthu ghali nga ni maji ghakunyang’amira,Kweni munthu waumanyi watekengepo.
6 Ŵanthu ŵanandi ŵakupharazga lusungu* lwawo,Kweni ni njani wangasanga munthu wakugomezgeka?
7 Munthu murunji wakwenda mu kunyoloka kwake.+
Mbakukondwa ŵana ŵake awo ŵakumulondezga.+
8 Para themba lakhala pa chitengo kuti leruzge,+Likusefa uheni wose na maso ghake.+
9 Ni njani wangayowoya kuti: “Natozga mtima wane,+Nili wakutowa ku kwananga kwane”?+
10 Malibwe ghakupimira ghakupusika na vyakupimira vyautesi*—Vyose viŵiri mbukazuzi kwa Yehova.+
11 Nanga ni mwana* wakumanyikwa na milimo yake,Usange nkharo yake njiwemi na yakwenelera.+
12 Khutu ilo likupulika na jiso ilo likulaŵiska—Vyose viŵiri wali kuvipanga ni Yehova.+
13 Ungatemwanga tulo yayi, mwakuti uleke kukavuka.+
Banura maso ghako, ndipo ukhutenge chingwa.+
14 Uyo wakugura wakuti, “ntchiwemi yayi, ntchiwemi yayi!”Mbwenu wakuluta na kwamba kujithumbwa.+
15 Kuli golide na malibwe gha korali* ghanandi,Kweni milomo iyo yikumanya vinthu njakuzirwa.+
16 Torani chakuvwara cha munthu usange wimira mulendo pa ngongoli,+Mupoke chikholi kwa iyo usange wimira mwanakazi wachilendo.*+
17 Chingwa icho chasangikira mu utesi ntchakunowa kwa munthu,Kweni pamanyuma mu mulomo wake muzurenge tumasangalawe.+
18 Para pali kudumbiskana,* vinthu vikwenda makora,+Na fundo zavinjeru* urwe nkhondo yako.+
19 Munthu wakusesa wakwendendeka na kuvumbura vinthu vya kuudesi,+Ungendezgananga nayo yayi uyo ni mwendanato.*
20 Yose uyo wakutemba awiske na anyina,Nyali yake yizimwikenge para chisi chafika.+
21 Chiharo icho pakwamba chapokeka mu umbunu,Chiŵenge thumbiko yayi paumaliro.+
22 Ungayowoyanga yayi kuti: “Niwezgerenge uheni!”+
Gomezga Yehova,+ ndipo wakuponoskenge.+
23 Malibwe* ghakupimira ghakupusika, mbukazuzi kwa Yehova,Ndipo sikelo yakupusika njiwemi yayi.
24 Mendero gha munthu ghakulongozgeka na Yehova.+Kasi munthu wangamanya wuli nthowa yake?*
25 Ntchipingo kwa munthu kuchimbilira kuyowoya kuti: “Ntchituŵa!”+
Kweni pamanyuma ndipo wakwamba kusanda ivyo walapa.+
26 Themba lavinjeru likusefa ŵanthu ŵaheni+Ndipo likwendeskapo khwiro lakupwanthira pa iwo.+
27 Mvuchi wa munthu ni nyali ya Yehova,Ukusandasanda mukati mwake mose.
28 Lusungu* na kugomezgeka vikusungilira themba.+Likukhozga chitengo chake na lusungu.+
29 Uchindami wa ŵawukirano ni nkhongono zawo,+Ndipo utozi wa ŵachekuru ni mbuha* zawo.+
30 Vikomokomo na mabamba vikukakatura uheni,+Ndipo maluswazu ghakutozga mukati mwa munthu.
