Old/New Testament
Salimo la Davide.
37 Usamavutike chifukwa cha anthu oyipa
kapena kuchitira nsanje amene akuchita cholakwa;
2 pakuti monga udzu iwo adzafota msanga,
ngati mbewu zobiriwira adzanyala msanga.
3 Khulupirira Yehova ndipo uzichita zabwino;
khazikika mʼdziko ndi kutsata zokhulupirika.
4 Udzikondweretse wekha mwa Yehova
ndipo Iye adzakupatsa zokhumba za mtima wako.
5 Pereka njira yako kwa Yehova;
dalira Iye ndipo Iyeyo adzachita izi:
6 Iye adzachititsa chilungamo chako kuwala ngati mʼbandakucha,
chiweruzo chako ngati dzuwa la masana.
7 Khala chete pamaso pa Yehova ndipo umudikire mofatsa;
usavutike pamene anthu apambana mʼnjira zawo,
pamene iwo achita zinthu zawo zoyipa.
8 Pewa kupsa mtima ndipo tembenuka kuchoka ku ukali,
usavutike chifukwa zimenezi zimatsogolera ku zoyipa.
9 Pakuti anthu oyipa adzachotsedwa,
koma iwo amene amayembekeza mwa Yehova adzalandira dziko.
10 Kwa kanthawi oyipa sadzapezekanso;
ngakhale muwafunefune, sadzapezekanso.
11 Koma ofatsa adzalandira dziko
ndipo adzasangalala ndi mtendere waukulu.
12 Oyipa amakonza chiwembu kutsutsana ndi olungama
ndipo amawakukutira mano;
13 koma Ambuye amaseka oyipa
pakuti Iye amadziwa kuti tsiku lawo likubwera.
14 Oyipa amasolola lupanga
ndi kupinda uta
kugwetsa osauka ndi osowa,
kupha iwo amene njira zawo ndi zolungama.
15 Koma malupanga awo analasa mitima yawo yomwe,
ndipo mauta awo anathyoka.
16 Zabwino zochepa zimene olungama ali nazo
ziposa chuma cha anthu oyipa ambiri;
17 pakuti mphamvu ya oyipa idzasweka,
koma Yehova amasunga olungama.
18 Masiku a anthu osalakwa amadziwika ndi Yehova,
ndipo cholowa chawo chidzakhala mpaka muyaya.
19 Pa nthawi ya mavuto iwo sadzafota;
mʼmasiku a njala adzakhala ndi zinthu zambiri.
20 Koma oyipa adzawonongeka;
adani a Yehova adzakhala ngati kukongola kwa kuthengo,
iwo adzazimirira ngati utsi.
21 Oyipa amabwereka ndipo sabweza
koma olungama amapereka mowolowamanja.
22 Iwo amene Yehova amawadalitsa adzalandira dziko,
koma amene Iye amawatemberera adzachotsedwa.
23 Ngati Yehova akondwera ndi njira ya munthu,
amakhazikitsa mayendedwe ake;
24 ngakhale atapunthwa sadzagwa,
pakuti Yehova amamutchinjiriza ndi dzanja lake.
25 Ine ndinali wamngʼono ndipo tsopano ndakalamba
koma sindinaonepo olungama akusiyidwa
kapena ana awo akupempha chakudya.
26 Iwo ndi owolowamanja nthawi zonse ndipo amabwereketsa mwaufulu;
ana awo adzadalitsika.
27 Tembenuka kuchoka ku zoyipa ndipo chita zabwino;
pamenepo udzakhazikika mʼdziko kwamuyaya.
28 Pakuti Yehova amakonda wolungama
ndipo sadzasiya okhulupirika ake.
Iwo adzatetezedwa kwamuyaya,
koma zidzukulu za oyipa zidzachotsedwa;
29 olungama adzalandira dziko
ndipo adzakhazikikamo kwamuyaya.
30 Pakamwa pa munthu wolungama pamayankhula za nzeru,
ndipo lilime lake limayankhula zolungama.
31 Lamulo la Mulungu wake lili mu mtima mwake;
mapazi ake saterereka.
32 Oyipa amabisala kudikira olungama;
kufunafuna miyoyo yawoyo;
33 koma Yehova sadzawasiya pansi pa mphamvu yawo
kapena kuti atsutsidwe pamene abweretsedwa pa milandu.
34 Khulupirira Yehova,
ndipo sunga njira yake;
Iye adzakukweza ndipo udzalandira dziko kuti likhale lako;
udzaona anthu oyipa akuwonongeka.
35 Ine ndinaona munthu woyipa ndi munthu wopanda chifundo
akupeza bwino ngati mtengo wobiriwira pa nthaka ya makolo ake.
36 Koma sanachedwe kumwalira ndipo sanaonekenso;
ngakhale ndinamuyangʼanayangʼana, sanapezekenso.
37 Ganizira za munthu wosalakwa, yangʼanitsitsa munthu wolungama;
udzaona kuti ali ndi tsogolo labwino ndipo ali ndi zidzukulu zambiri.
38 Koma anthu ochimwa adzawonongeka;
iwowo pamodzi ndi zidzukulu zawo zomwe.
39 Chipulumutso cha olungama chimachokera kwa Yehova;
Iye ndiye linga lawo pa nthawi ya masautso.
40 Yehova amawathandiza ndi kuwalanditsa;
Iye amawalanditsa kwa oyipa ndi kuwapulumutsa,
pakuti amathawira kwa Iye.
Salimo la Davide. Kupempha.
38 Yehova musandidzudzule mutapsa mtima
kapena kundilanga muli ndi ukali.
2 Pakuti mivi yanu yandilasa,
ndipo dzanja lanu latsika ndipo landifikira.
3 Chifukwa cha ukali wanu mulibe thanzi mʼthupi langa;
mafupa anga alibe mphamvu chifukwa cha tchimo langa.
4 Kulakwa kwanga kwandipsinja
ngati katundu wolemera kwambiri kuposa mphamvu zanga.
5 Mabala anga akuwola ndipo akununkha
chifukwa cha uchitsiru wa moyo wanga wauchimo.
6 Ine ndapindika msana ndipo ndawerama kwambiri;
tsiku lonse ndimangolira.
7 Msana wanga wagwidwa ndi ululu wosasimbika,
mulibe thanzi mʼthupi langa.
8 Ndilibe mphamvu ndipo ndakunthidwa kwathunthu;
ndikubuwula ndi ululu wa mumtima.
9 Zokhumba zanga zonse zili poonekera pamaso panu Ambuye,
kusisima kwanga sikunabisike kwa Inu.
10 Mtima wanga ukugunda, mphamvu zanga zikutha;
ngakhale kuwala kwachoka mʼmaso mwanga.
11 Abwenzi anga ndi anzanga akundipewa chifukwa cha mabala anga;
anansi anga akhala kutali nane.
12 Iwo amene akufunafuna moyo wanga atchera misampha yawo,
oti andipwetekewo amayankhula za kuwonongeka kwanga;
tsiku lonse amakonza zachinyengo.
13 Ine ndili ngati munthu wosamva amene sangamve,
monga wosayankhula, amene sangathe kutsekula pakamwa pake;
14 Ndakhala ngati munthu amene samva,
amene pakamwa pake sipangathe kuyankha.
15 Ndikudikira Inu Yehova;
mudzayankha, Inu Ambuye Mulungu wanga.
16 Pakuti Ine ndinati, “Musawalole kuti akondwere
kapena kudzikweza okha pa ine pamene phazi langa laterereka.”
17 Pakuti ndili pafupi kugwa,
ndipo ndikumva kuwawa nthawi zonse.
18 Ndikuvomereza mphulupulu zanga;
ndipo ndavutika ndi tchimo langa.
19 Ambiri ndi adani anga amphamvu;
amene amandida popanda chifukwa alipo ochuluka kwambiri.
20 Iwo amene amandibwezera zoyipa mʼmalo mwa zabwino
amandinyoza pamene nditsatira zabwino.
21 Inu Yehova, musanditaye;
musakhale kutali ndi ine Mulungu wanga.
22 Bwerani msanga kudzandithandiza,
Inu Ambuye Mpulumutsi wanga.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Kwa Yedutuni. Salimo la Davide.
39 Ndinati, “Ndidzasamalira njira zanga
ndipo ndidzasunga lilime langa kuti ndisachimwe;
ndidzatseka pakamwa panga ndi chitsekerero
nthawi yonse imene woyipa ali pamaso panga.”
2 Koma pamene ndinali chete
osanena ngakhale kanthu kalikonse kabwino
mavuto anga anachulukirabe.
3 Mtima wanga unatentha mʼkati mwanga,
ndipo pamene ndinkalingalira, moto unayaka;
kenaka ndinayankhula ndi lilime langa:
4 “Yehova ndionetseni mathero a moyo wanga
ndi chiwerengero cha masiku anga;
mundidziwitse kuti moyo wanga ndi wosakhalitsa motani.
5 Inu mwachititsa kuti masiku anga akhale ochepa kwambiri,
kutalika kwa zaka zanga ndi kopanda phindu pamaso panu;
moyo wa munthu aliyense ndi waufupi.
Sela
6 Munthu ali ngati chithunzithunzi chake pamene akuyenda uku ndi uku:
Iye amangovutika koma popanda phindu;
amadzikundikira chuma, osadziwa kuti chidzakhala chayani.
7 “Koma tsopano Ambuye kodi ndifunanso chiyani?
Chiyembekezo changa chili mwa Inu.
8 Pulumutseni ku zolakwa zanga zonse;
musandisandutse chonyozeka kwa opusa.
9 Ine ndinali chete; sindinatsekule pakamwa panga
pakuti Inu ndinu amene mwachita zimenezi.
10 Chotsani mkwapulo wanu pa ine;
ndagonjetsedwa ndi nkhonya ya dzanja lanu.
11 Inu mumadzudzula ndi kulanga anthu chifukwa cha tchimo lawo;
mumawononga chuma chawo monga njenjete;
munthu aliyense ali ngati mpweya.
Sela
12 “Imvani pemphero langa Inu Yehova,
mverani kulira kwanga kopempha thandizo;
musakhale chete pamene ndikulirira kwa Inu,
popeza ndine mlendo wanu wosakhalitsa;
monga anachitira makolo anga onse.
13 Musandiyangʼane mwaukali, choncho ndidzatha kusangalala
ndisanafe ndi kuyiwalika.”
Mawu a Paulo Pamaso pa Mfumu Agripa
26 Ndipo Agripa anawuza Paulo kuti, “Takulola kuti unene mawu ako.” Paulo anatambasula dzanja lake nayamba kudziteteza kuti, 2 “Mfumu Agripa ine ndikudziyesa wa mwayi kuyima pamaso panu lero lino ndi kudziteteza, kutsutsa zonse zimene Ayuda andinenera, 3 ndipo makamaka chifukwa inu mukudziwa bwino miyambo yonse ya Chiyuda ndiponso zonse zimene amatsutsana. Nʼchifukwa chake ndikukupemphani kuti mundimvetsere moleza mtima.
4 “Ayuda onse akudziwa za moyo wanga mmene ndakhalira kuyambira ndili mwana, kuchokera pachiyambi cha moyo wanga mʼdziko lathu ndiponso mu Yerusalemu. 5 Iwo akundidziwa kuyambira kalekale ndipo angathe kuchitira umboni kuti ndakhala ndili Mfarisi moyo wanga wonse, mmodzi wa gulu limene limasamala chipembedzo chathu koposa. 6 Ndipo tsopano ndikuyimbidwa mlandu lero chifukwa cha chiyembekezo changa pa zimene Mulungu analonjeza makolo athu. 7 Ili ndi lonjezo limene mafuko athu khumi ndi awiri akuyembekezera kuti likwaniritsidwe pamene akupembedza Mulungu molimbika usana ndi usiku. Wolemekezeka Mfumu, nʼchifukwa cha chiyembekezo chimenechi Ayuda kuti akundiyimba mlandu. 8 Nʼchifukwa chiyani ena a inu mukuganiza kuti nʼkosatheka kuti Mulungu aukitse akufa?
9 “Inenso ndimaganiza kuti ndimayenera kuchita zinthu zambiri pofuna kuthana ndi dzina la Yesu wa ku Nazareti. 10 Ndipo izi ndi zimene ndinazichita ku Yerusalemu. Ndi ulamuliro wa akulu a ansembe, ine ndinayika mʼndende oyera mtima ambiri, ndipo pamene amaphedwa, ine ndimavomereza. 11 Nthawi zambiri ndinkapita mʼsunagoge iliyonse kuti alangidwe, ndipo ndinayesera kuwakakamiza kuti achitire chipongwe Mulungu. Mu mkwiyo wangawo, ndimapita ngakhale ku mizinda yachilendo kuti ndikawazunze.
12 “Pa ulendo wina wotere, ndikupita ku Damasiko ndi mphamvu ndi ulamuliro ochokera kwa akulu a ansembe, 13 Wolemekezeka Mfumu, nthawi ya masana pamene ndimayenda pa msewu, ndinaona kuwala kuchokera kumwamba koposa kuwala kwa dzuwa kutandizungulira ine pamodzi ndi anzangawo. 14 Tonse tinagwa pansi ndipo ndinamva mawu mʼChihebri akuti, ‘Saulo, Saulo chifukwa chiyani ukundizunza Ine? Nʼkovuta kulimbikira mtunda wopanda madzi.’ ”
15 Ndipo ine ndinafunsa kuti, “Ndinu ndani Ambuye?”
Ambuye anayankha kuti, “Ndine Yesu, amene iwe ukumuzunza. 16 Tsopano dzuka ndipo imirira. Ine ndaonekera kwa iwe kuti ndikusankhe kuti ukhale mtumiki ndiponso mboni ya zimene waziona za Ine ndiponso zimene ndidzakuonetsa. 17 Ine ndidzakulanditsa mʼmanja mwa anthu a mtundu wako ndiponso mwa anthu a mitundu ina. Ine ndikukutuma kwa iwo, 18 kuti ukatsekule maso awo kuti atembenuke mtima kuchoka ku mdima ndi kulowa mʼkuwala, kuchoka ku mphamvu za Satana ndi kupita kwa Mulungu, kuti alandire chikhululukiro cha machimo awo ndi kukhala mʼgulu la amene akuyeretsedwa chifukwa chokhulupirira Ine.
19 “Nʼchifukwa chake Mfumu Agripa, sindinakane kumvera masomphenya wochokera kumwamba. 20 Kuyambira kwa anthu a ku Damasiko, a ku Yerusalemu, a ku Yudeya konse ndi kwa anthu a mitundu inanso, ndinalalikira kuti akuyenera kulapa ndi kutembenukira kwa Mulungu ndikuti aonetse kulapa kwawo mwa ntchito zawo. 21 Ichi nʼchifukwa chake Ayuda anandigwira mʼbwalo la Nyumba ya Mulungu nafuna kundipha. 22 Koma Mulungu wakhala akundithandiza mpaka lero lino. Ine ndayima pano kuti ndichitire umboni kwa anthu onse otchuka ndi anthu wamba. Ine sindikunena zina zowonjezera koma zimene Aneneri ndi Mose ananena kuti zidzachitika. 23 Iwo ananena kuti Khristu adzamva zowawa ndipo popeza Iye adzakhala woyamba kuuka kwa akufa, adzalalikira za kuwunika kwa anthu a mtundu wake ndiponso kwa anthu a mitundu ina.”
24 Paulo akudziteteza, Festo anakweza mawu nati, “Wazungulira mutu Paulo! Kuphunzira kwako kwakuchititsa misala.”
25 Paulo anayankha nati, “Wolemekezeka Festo, sindine wozungulira mutu. Zimene ndikunena ndi zoona ndiponso za nzeru. 26 Mfumu ikuzidziwa bwino zinthu izi, ndipo ndikuyankhula momasuka kwa iyo. Ine ndikukhulupirira kuti palibe kanthu nʼkamodzi komwe kamene sukukadziwa, chifukwa izi sizinachike mseri. 27 Mfumu Agripa, kodi mumakhulupirira mawu a aneneri? Ine ndikudziwa kuti mumakhulupirira.”
28 Kenaka Agripa anati kwa Paulo, “Kodi ukuganiza kuti mʼkanthawi kochepa kotere ungandikope kuti ndikhale Mkhristu?”
29 Paulo anayankha kuti, “Ngakhale kanthawi kochepa kapena nthawi yayitali, ine ndikupempha kwa Mulungu kuti osati inu nokha koma aliyense amene akundimva lero lino akhale monga ine, kupatulapo maunyolo okhawa.”
30 Mfumu inayimirira pamodzi ndi bwanamkubwa ndi Bernisi ndiponso anthu onse amene anakhala nawo pamodzi. 31 Inatuluka mʼchipindamo, ndipo pamene imayankhula inati, “Munthu uyu sanachite kanthu koyenera kuphedwa kapena kumangidwa.”
32 Agripa anati kwa Festo, “Munthu uyu akanamasulidwa akanakhala kuti sanapemphe zokaonekera kwa Kaisara.”
