Ulemerero Wamʼtsogolo wa Ziyoni
54 “Sangalala, iwe mayi wosabala,
iwe amene sunabalepo mwana;
imba nyimbo, ndi kufuwula mwachimwemwe,
iwe amene sunamvepo ululu wa pobereka;
chifukwa mkazi wosiyidwa adzakhala ndi ana ambiri
kuposa mkazi wokwatiwa,”
akutero Yehova.
2 Kulitsa malo omangapo tenti yako,
tambasula kwambiri nsalu zake,
usaleke;
talikitsa zingwe zako,
limbitsa zikhomo zako.
3 Pakuti udzasendeza malire ako kumanja ndi kumanzere;
ndipo zidzukulu zako zidzalanda dziko la anthu a mitundu ina
ndipo zidzakhala mʼmizinda yawo yosiyidwa.
4 “Usachite mantha; sadzakunyozanso.
Usakhumudwe; sudzapeputsidwanso.
Udzayiwala za manyazi zimene zinakuchitikira nthawi ya unyamata wako
ndipo za manyazi zimene zinakuchitikira pa nthawi ya umasiye wako sudzazikumbukanso.
5 Pakuti Mlengi wako ali ngati mwamuna wako,
dzina lake ndi Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.
Woyerayo wa Israeli ndiye Mpulumutsi wanu;
dzina lake ndi Mulungu wa dziko lonse lapansi.
6 Yehova wakuyitananso,
uli ngati mkazi wosiyidwa ndi wodzaza ndi chisoni mu mtima,

akutero Mulungu wako.
7 “Kwa kanthawi kochepa, Ine ndinakusiya,
koma ndidzakutenganso chifukwa ndimakukonda kwambiri.
8 Ndinakufulatira kwa kanthawi kochepa
ndili wokwiya kwambiri.
Koma ndi kukoma mtima kwanga kwa muyaya,
ndidzakuchitira chifundo,”
akutero Yehova Mpulumutsi wako.
9 “Kwa ine zimenezi zili ngati mmene zinalili mʼnthawi ya Nowa.
Monga ndinalumbira nthawi imeneyo kuti sindidzawononganso dziko lapansi ndi madzi.
Kotero tsopano ndalumbira kuti sindidzakupseraninso mtima,
sindidzakudzudzulaninso.
10 Ngakhale mapiri atagwedezeka
ndi zitunda kusunthidwa,
koma chikondi changa chosasinthika pa iwe sichidzatha.
Pangano langa lamtendere silidzasintha,”
akutero Yehova amene amakuchitira chifundo.
11 “Iwe mzinda wozunzika, wokunthidwa ndi namondwe ndiponso wopanda wokutonthoza,
Ine ndidzakongoletsa miyala yako.
Maziko ako ndidzamanga ndi miyala ya safiro.
12 Ndidzamanga nsanja zako zankhondo ndi miyala yokongola ya rubi.
Ndidzamanga zipata zako ndi miyala yonyezimira ngati moto,
ndipo linga lako lonse lidzakhala la miyala yamtengowapatali.
13 Yehova adzaphunzitsa ana ako onse,
ndipo ana ako adzakhala ndi mtendere wochuluka.
14 Udzakhazikika mʼchilungamo chenicheni:
Sudzakhalanso wopanikizika,
chifukwa sudzaopa kanthu kalikonse.
Sudzakhalanso ndi mantha
chifukwa manthawo sadzafika pafupi ndi iwe.
15 Ngati wina adzakuthirani nkhondo, si ndine amene ndachititsa;
aliyense amene adzalimbana nanu adzagonja chifukwa cha iwe.
16 “Taona, ndi Ine amene ndinalenga munthu wosula zitsulo
amene amakoleza moto wamakala
ndi kusula zida zoti azigwiritse ntchito.
Ndipo ndine amene ndinalenga munthu wosakaza kuti awononge;
17 palibe chida chopangidwa ndi mdani chimene chidzakupweteke,
ndipo onse okuneneza pa mlandu udzawatsutsa.
Umu ndimo adzapezekere atumiki a Yehova.
Chipambano chawo chichokera kwa Ine,”
akutero Yehova.
Kuyitanidwa kwa Womva Ludzu
55 “Bwerani, inu nonse amene muli ndi ludzu,
bwerani madzi alipo;
ndipo inu amene mulibe ndalama
bwerani, mudzagule chakudya kuti mudye!
Bwerani mudzagule vinyo ndi mkaka
osalipira ndalama, osalipira chilichonse.
2 Chifukwa chiyani ndalama zanu mukuwonongera zinthu zimene samadya,
ndipo mukuwononga malipiro anu pa zinthu zimene sizikhutitsa?
Tamverani, mvetsetsani zimene ndikunena kuti mudye zimene zili zabwino;
ndipo mudzisangalatse.
3 Tcherani makutu ndipo mubwere kwa Ine;
mvereni Ine, kuti mukhale ndi moyo.
Ndidzachita nanu pangano losatha,
chikondi changa chija chosasinthika ndi chodalirika ndinalonjeza Davide.
4 Taonani, ine ndamusankha kuti akhale mboni yanga kwa mitundu ya anthu,
kuti akhale mtsogoleri ndi wolamulira mitundu ya anthu.
5 Ndithu inu mudzayitanitsa mitundu ya anthu imene simuyidziwa,
ndipo mitundu ya anthu imene sikudziwani idzabwera ndi liwiro kwa inu.
Izi zidzatero chifukwa Yehova Mulungu wanu,
Woyerayo wa Israeli,
wakuvekani ulemerero.”
6 Funafunani Yehova pamene Iye akupezeka.
Mupemphere kwa Iye pamene ali pafupi.
7 Woyipa asiye makhalidwe ake oyipa,
ndipo wosalungama asinthe maganizo ake oyipa.
Abwerere kwa Yehova, ndipo adzamuchitira chifundo,
ndi kwa Mulungu wathu, pakuti adzamukhululukira koposa.
8 “Pakuti maganizo anga siwofanana ndi maganizo anu,
ngakhale njira zanu si njira zanga,”
akutero Yehova.
9 “Monga momwe mlengalenga muli kutali ndi dziko lapansi,
momwemonso zochita zanga nʼzolekana kutali ndi zochita zanu,
ndipo maganizo anga ndi osiyana kutali ndi maganizo anu.
10 Monga mvula ndi chisanu chowundana
zimatsika kuchokera kumwamba,
ndipo sizibwerera komweko
koma zimathirira dziko lapansi.
Ndipo zimameretsa ndi kukulitsa zomera
kenaka nʼkupatsa mlimi mbewu ndi chakudya.
11 Ndi mmenenso amachitira mawu ochokera mʼkamwa mwanga.
Sadzabwerera kwa Ine kopanda phindu lake,
koma adzachita zonse zimene ndifuna,
ndipo adzakwaniritsa cholinga chimene ndinawatumira.
12 Inu mudzatuluka mu mzindawo mwachimwemwe
ndipo adzakutsogolerani mwamtendere;
mapiri ndi zitunda
zidzakuyimbirani nyimbo,
ndipo mitengo yonse yamʼthengo
idzakuwombereni mʼmanja.
13 Mʼmalo mʼmene tsopano muli mitengo ya minga mudzamera mitengo ya payini,
ndipo kumene kuli mkandankhuku kudzamera mchisu.
Zimenezi zidzakhala chikumbutso cha Yehova,
ngati chizindikiro chamuyaya,
chimene sichidzafafanizika konse.”
Chipulumutso kwa Anthu Ena Onse
56 Yehova akuti,
“Chitani chilungamo
ndi zinthu zabwino,
chifukwa chipulumutso changa chili pafupi
ndipo ndidzakuwombolani posachedwapa.
2 Ndi wodala munthu amene amachita zimenezi,
munthu amene amalimbika kuzichita,
amene amasunga Sabata osaliyipitsa,
ndipo amadziletsa kuchita zoyipa.”
3 Mlendo amene waphatikana ndi Yehova asanene kuti,
“Ndithu Yehova wandichotsa pakati pa anthu ake.”
Ndipo munthu wofulidwa asanene kuti,
“Ine ndine mtengo wowuma basi.”
4 Popeza Yehova akuti,
“Wofulidwa amene amasunga masabata anga,
nachita zokomera Ine
ndi kusunga pangano langa,
5 ndidzawapatsa dzina ndi mbiri yabwino
mʼkati mwa Nyumba yanga ndi makoma ake,
kuposa kukhala ndi ana aamuna ndi aakazi.
Ndidzawapatsa dzina labwino,
losatha ndi losayiwalika.”
6 Yehova akuti, “Alendo amene amadziphatika kwa Yehova,
motero kuti amamutumikira Iye,
amakonda dzina la Yehova,
amamugwirira ntchito,
komanso kusunga Sabata osaliyipitsa
ndi kusunga bwino pangano langa,
7 amenewa Ine ndidzawafikitsa ku phiri langa lopatulika,
ndidzawapatsa chimwemwe mʼnyumba yanga ya mapemphero.
Zopereka zawo zopsereza ndi nsembe zawo
ndidzazilandira pa guwa langa la nsembe.
Paja nyumba yanga idzatchedwa
nyumba ya mapemphero ya anthu a mitundu yonse.”
8 Ambuye Yehova, amene amasonkhanitsa
Aisraeli onse ali ku ukapolo akunena kuti,
“Ndidzasonkhanitsano anthu ena
kuwonjezera amene anasonkhana kale.”
Mulungu Adzazula Anthu Oyipa
9 Bwerani, inu zirombo zonse zakuthengo,
inu nonse zirombo zamʼnkhalango bwerani mudzadye!
10 Atsogoleri onse a Israeli ndi akhungu,
onse ndi opanda nzeru;
onse ndi agalu opanda mawu,
samatha kuwuwa:
amagona pansi nʼkumalota
amakonda kugona tulo.
11 Ali ngati agalu amene ali ndi njala yayikulu;
sakhuta konse.
Abusa nawonso samvetsa zinthu;
onse amachita monga akufunira,
aliyense amafunafuna zomupindulitsa iye mwini.
12 Aliyense amafuwulira mnzake kuti, “Bwera, tiye timwe vinyo!
Tiyeni timwe mowa mpaka kukhuta!
Mawa lidzakhala ngati leroli,
kapena kuposa lero lino.”
57 Anthu olungama amafa,
ndipo palibe amene amalingalira mu mtima mwake;
anthu odzipereka amatengedwa,
ndipo palibe amene amamvetsa chifukwa chake.
Anthu olungama amatengedwa
kuti tsoka lisawagwere.
2 Iwo amene amakhala moyo wolungama
amafa mwamtendere;
amapeza mpumulo pamene agona mu imfa.
3 “Bwerani kuno, anthu ochita zoyipa,
inu muli ngati zidzukulu za mkazi wachigololo ndi wadama!
4 Kodi inu mukuseka yani?
Kodi mukumunena ndani
ndi kupotoza pakamwa panu?
Kodi inu si ana owukira,
zidzukulu za anthu abodza?
5 Inu mumapembedza mafano pamene mumalobodoka ndi zilakolako zanu pakati pa mitengo ya thundu,
ndiponso pa tsinde pa mtengo uliwonse wa nthambi zambiri.
Mumapereka ana anu ngati nsembe mu zigwa
ndiponso mʼmingʼalu ya mʼmatanthwe.
6 Mafano a pakati pa miyala yosalala ya mu zigwa ndiye chuma chanu. Inde, ndiye gawo lanu.
Mumapereka chopereka cha chakumwa kwa mafanowo,
ndipo mumaperekanso chopereka cha chakudya.
Kodi zimenezi
zingandichititse kuti ndikukomereni mtima?
7 Inu munayiwala bedi lanu pa phiri lalitali ndi looneka kutali.
Mumapita kumeneko kukapereka nsembe zanu.
8 Mʼnyumba mwanu mwayika
mafano kuseri kwa zitseko ndiponso pa mphuthu.
Mwandisiya Ine, mwavula zovala zanu.
Bedi lanu mwalikulitsa ndipo mwakwera ndi zibwenzi zanu,
ndiye mwazilipira kuti mugone nazo.
Kumene mwakwaniritsa zilakolako zanu zoyipa.
9 Mumapita kukapembedza fano la Moleki mutatenga mafuta
ndi zonunkhira zochuluka.
Munachita kutumiza akazembe anu kutali;
inu ngakhale munapita ku manda kwenikweniko!
10 Inu mumatopa ndi maulendo anu,
koma simunathe kunena kuti, ‘Nʼzopanda phindu.’
Munapezako kumeneko zokhumba zanu
nʼchifukwa chake simunalefuke.
11 “Kodi ndani amene mwachita naye mantha ndi kumuopa,
kotero kuti mwakhala mukundinamiza,
ndipo Ine simundikumbukira nʼkomwe,
kapena kuganizirapo mʼmitima yanu za Ine?
Kodi mwaleka kundiopa chifukwa choti
ndakhala chete nthawi yayitali?
12 Koma ndaonetsa poyera ntchito zanu zomwe mumati nʼzolungama,
ndi mafano anu kuti nʼzosathandiza.
13 Pamene mufuwula kupempha thandizo,
mafano anu amene munasonkhanitsawo ndiyetu akupulumutseni!
Mphepo idzanyamula mafano anu onsewo,
mpweya chabe udzawulutsa mafanowo.
Koma munthu amene amadalira ine
adzalandira dziko lokhalamo.
Phiri langa lopatulika lidzakhala lakelake.”
Mpumulo kwa Anthu Osweka Mtima
14 Ndipo panamveka mawu akuti,
“Undani, undani, konzani msewu!
Chotsani zotchinga pa njira yoyendamo anthu anga.”
15 Pakuti Iye amene ali Wamkulu ndi Wopambanazonse,
amene alipo nthawi zonse, amene dzina lake ndi Woyerayo,
akunena kuti, “Ndimakhala pamalo aulemu ndi opatulika,
koma ndimakhalanso ndi munthu wodzichepetsa ndi wosweka mtima
kuti odzichepetsawo ndiwalimbitse
ndi kuwachotsa mantha osweka mtima.
16 Sindidzawatsutsa anthu mpaka muyaya
kapena kuwapsera mtima nthawi zonse,
popeza kuti ndinalenga anthu anga
ndi kuwapatsa mpweya wamoyo.
17 Ine ndinakwiya kwambiri chifukwa cha tchimo lawo ladyera;
ndinawalanga ndi kuwafulatira mokwiya,
koma iwo anapitirirabe kuchita ntchito zawo zoyipa.
18 Ndaona zochita zawo, komabe ndidzawachiritsa;
kuwapumulitsa ndi kuwapatsa mtendere,
19 anthu olira a mu Israeli adzanditamanda ndi milomo yawo.
Anthu amene ali kutali ndi apafupi pomwe ndidzawapatsa mtendere,”
“Ndipo ndidzawachiritsa.”
Akutero Yehova.
20 Koma anthu oyipa ali ngati nyanja yowinduka,
yosatha kukhala bata,
mafunde ake amaponya matope ndi ndere.
21 “Palibe mtendere kwa oyipa,” akutero Mulungu wanga.
Kusala Kwenikweni
58 “Fuwula kwambiri, usaleke.
Mawu ako amveke ngati lipenga.
Uwawuze anthu anga za kulakwa kwawo;
uwuze nyumba ya Yakobo za machimo awo.
2 Pakuti tsiku ndi tsiku amafunafuna Ine;
amaoneka ngati a chidwi chofuna kudziwa zimene ndimafuna,
kukhala ngati kuti ndi dziko limene limachita zolondola
ndipo silinasiye zolamulira za Mulungu wake.
Amandipempha kuti ndigamule mlandu wawo mwachilungamo
ndipo amaonetsa chidwi chofuna kukhala pafupi ndi Mulungu.
3 Anthu akufunsa kuti, ‘Chifukwa chiyani ife tasala
kudya pamene Inu simukulabadirapo?
Kodi ife tavutikiranji nʼkudzichepetsa
pamene Inu simunasamalepo?’ ”
Yehova akuti, “Komatu tsiku lanu losala kudya, mumachita zinthu zokukondweretsani,
ndipo mumazunza antchito anu onse.
4 Mumati uku mukusala kudya, uku mukukangana ndi kumenyana,
mpaka kumenyana ndi nkhonya zopweteka.
Kusala kudya mukuchitiramu musayembekezere kuti mawu anu amveka kumwamba.
5 Kodi kusala kudya kumene ndimakufuna Ine nʼkumeneku,
kungokhala tsiku loti munthu adzichepetse basi?
Kodi ndi tsiku loti munthu angowerama pansi ngati bango
ndi kumayala ziguduli nʼkuthirapo phulusa nʼkugonapo?
Kodi ndiye mumati kusala kudya kumeneko,
tsiku lokondweretsa Yehova?
6 “Kodi si uku kusala kudya kumene Ine ndimakufuna:
Kumasula maunyolo ozunzizira anthu
ndi kumasula zingwe za goli,
kupereka ufulu kwa oponderezedwa
ndi kuphwanya goli lililonse?
7 Anthu anjala kodi mwawagawira chakudya chanu?
Osowa ndi ongoyendayenda,
kodi mwawapatsa malo ogona?
Munthu wausiwa kodi mwamupatsa chovala?
8 Mukatero chipulumutso chanu chidzabwera ngati mʼbandakucha,
ndipo mabala anu adzachira msangamsanga;
chilungamo chanu chidzakutsogolerani
ndipo ulemerero wa Yehova udzakhala chokutchinjirizani kumbuyo kwanu.
9 Mukamadzapemphera Yehova adzakuyankhani;
mukadzapempha thandizo, Iye adzati: Ine ndili pano.
“Ngati muleka kuzunza anzanu,
ngati musiya kuloza chala ndiponso kunena zoyipa za anzanu.
10 Ndipo ngati mudyetsa anthu anjala,
ndi kuthandiza anthu oponderezedwa,
pamenepo kuwala kwanu kudzaonekera mu mdima,
ndipo usiku wanu udzakhala ngati usana.
11 Yehova adzakutsogolerani nthawi zonse;
adzakwaniritsa zosowa zanu mʼdziko longʼalukangʼaluka dzuwa
ndipo adzalimbitsa matupi anu.
Mudzakhala ngati dimba la madzi ambiri,
ngati kasupe amene madzi ake saphwa.
12 Anthu ako adzamanganso nyumba zimene zakhala mabwinja nthawi yayitali,
ndipo adzamanganso pa maziko akalekale;
inu mudzatchedwa okonza makoma opasuka.
Anthu okonza misewu ndi nyumba zake.
13 “Muzisunga osaphwanya Sabata;
musamachite zimene mukufuna pa masiku anga opatulika,
tsiku la Sabata lizikhala tsiku lachisangalalo.
Tsiku lopatulika la Yehova muzililemekeza
posayenda mʼnjira zanu,
kapena kuchita zimene mukufuna ndi kuyankhula zopandapake,
14 mukatero mudzapeza chimwemwe mwa Yehova,
ndipo ndidzakukwezani ndi kukupambanitsani pa dziko lonse lapansi.
Mudzadyerera dziko limene ndinapatsa Yakobo kholo lanu.”
Yehova wayankhula ndi pakamwa pake.
