Old/New Testament
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Ndakatulo ya ana a Kora. Nyimbo ya anamwali.
46 Mulungu ndiye kothawira kwathu ndi mphamvu yathu,
thandizo lopezekeratu pa nthawi ya mavuto.
2 Nʼchifukwa chake sitidzaopa ngakhale dziko lapansi lisunthike,
ngakhale mapiri agwe pakati pa nyanja,
3 ngakhale madzi ake atakokoma ndi kuchita thovu,
ngakhale mapiri agwedezeke ndi kukokoma kwake.
4 Kuli mtsinje umene njira zake za madzi zimasangalatsa mzinda wa Mulungu,
malo oyera kumene Wammwambamwamba amakhalako.
5 Mulungu ali mʼkati mwake, iwo sudzagwa;
Mulungu adzawuthandiza mmawa.
6 Mitundu ikupokosera, mafumu akugwa;
Iye wakweza mawu ake, dziko lapansi likusungunuka.
7 Yehova Wamphamvuzonse ali ndi ife,
Mulungu wa Yakobo ndi linga lathu.
8 Bwerani kuti mudzaone ntchito za Yehova,
chiwonongeko chimene wachibweretsa pa dziko lapansi.
9 Iye amathetsa nkhondo ku malekezero a dziko lapansi;
Iye amathyola uta ndi kupindapinda mkondo;
amatentha zishango ndi moto.
10 Iye akuti, “Khala chete, ndipo dziwa kuti ndine Mulungu;
ndidzakwezedwa pakati pa mitundu ya anthu;
ine ndidzakwezedwa mʼdziko lapansi.”
11 Yehova Wamphamvuzonse ali ndi ife,
Mulungu wa Yakobo ndi linga lathu.
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la ana a Kora.
47 Ombani mʼmanja, inu anthu onse;
fuwulani kwa Mulungu ndi mawu achimwemwe.
2 Ndi woopsadi Yehova Wammwambamwamba;
Mfumu yayikulu ya dziko lonse lapansi!
3 Iye anatigonjetsera mitundu yambirimbiri ya anthu;
anayika anthu pansi pa mapazi athu.
4 Iye anatisankhira cholowa chathu,
chonyaditsa cha Yakobo, amene anamukonda.
Sela
5 Mulungu wakwera, anthu akumufuwulira mwachimwemwe,
Yehova wakwera, akumuyimbira malipenga.
6 Imbani matamando kwa Mulungu, imbani matamando;
imbani matamando kwa mfumu yathu, imbani matamando.
7 Pakuti Mulungu ndi mfumu ya dziko lonse lapansi;
imbirani Iye salimo la matamando.
8 Mulungu akulamulira mitundu ya anthu;
Mulungu wakhala pa mpando wake waufumu woyera.
9 Anthu otchuka mwa anthu a mitundu ina asonkhana
monga anthu a Mulungu wa Abrahamu,
pakuti mafumu a dziko lapansi ndi ake a Mulungu;
Iye wakwezedwa kwakukulu.
Nyimbo. Salimo la ana a Kora.
48 Wamkulu ndi Yehova, ndi woyenera kwambiri matamando
mu mzinda wa Mulungu wathu, phiri lake loyera.
2 Lokongola mu utali mwake,
chimwemwe cha dziko lonse lapansi.
Malo aatali kwambiri a Zafoni ndiye Phiri la Ziyoni,
mzinda wa Mfumu yayikulu.
3 Mulungu ali mu malinga ake;
Iye wadzionetsa yekha kuti ndiye malinga akewo.
4 Pamene mafumu anasonkhana pamodzi,
pamene anayendera pamodzi kudzalimbana nafe,
5 iwo anaona mzindawo ndipo anadabwa kwambiri;
anathawa ndi mantha aakulu.
6 Pomwepo anagwidwa nako kunjenjemera,
ululu wonga wa mkazi woyembekezera pa nthawi yochira.
7 Inu munawawononga monga sitima zapamadzi za ku Tarisisi
zitawonongeka ndi mphepo ya kummawa.
8 Monga momwe tinamvera,
kotero ife tinaona
mu mzinda wa Yehova Wamphamvuzonse,
mu mzinda wa Mulungu wathu.
Mulungu adzawuteteza kwamuyaya.
9 Mʼkati mwa Nyumba yanu Mulungu,
ife timalingaliramo zachikondi chanu chosasinthika.
10 Monga dzina lanu, Inu Mulungu,
matamando anu amafika ku malekezero a dziko lapansi
dzanja lanu lamanja ladzaza ndi chilungamo.
11 Phiri la Ziyoni likukondwera,
midzi ya Yuda ndi yosangalala
chifukwa cha maweruzo anu.
12 Yendayendani mu Ziyoni, uzungulireni mzindawo,
werengani nsanja zake.
13 Yangʼanitsitsani bwino mipanda yake,
penyetsetsani malinga ake,
kuti mudzafotokoze za izo ku mʼbado wotsatira.
14 Pakuti Mulungu uyu ndi Mulungu wathu ku nthawi zosatha;
Iye adzakhala mtsogoleri wathu mpaka ku mapeto.

28 Titapulumuka choncho, tinamva kuti chilumbacho chimatchedwa Melita. 2 Anthu a pa chilumbacho anatichitira zokoma zimene sizichitika kawirikawiri. Iwo anakoleza moto natilandira tonse chifukwa kumagwa mvula ndipo kumazizira. 3 Paulo anatola mtolo wankhuni, pamene amayika pa moto, munatulukamo njoka chifukwa cha kutentha, ndipo inamuluma pa dzanja. 4 Anthu a pa chilumbacho ataona njokayo ili lende pa dzanja lake, iwo anawuzana kuti, “Munthu uyu akuyenera kukhala munthu wopha anthu; pakuti ngakhale wapulumuka pa nyanja, chilungamo sichinamulore kuti akhale ndi moyo.” 5 Koma Paulo anayikutumulira pa moto njokayo, ndipo sanamve kupweteka. 6 Anthu anayembekezera kuti thupi lake litupa kapena agwa ndi kufa mwadzidzidzi, koma anadikira nthawi yayitali. Ataona kuti palibe kanthu kachilendo kanamuchitikira anasintha maganizo awo nanena kuti iye ndi mulungu.
7 Pafupi ndi malowa panali munda wa Popliyo, mkulu wa boma la pa chilumbacho. Iye anatilandira natisamala bwino masiku atatu. 8 Abambo ake anali gone, chifukwa amadwala malungo ndi kamwazi. Paulo analowa mʼchipinda chake kukawaona, ndipo atapemphera, anasanjika manja ake pa iwo nawachiritsa. 9 Zitachitika zimenezi, anthu onse odwala a pa chilumbacho anabwera ndipo anachiritsidwa. 10 Anthuwo anatilemekeza ife mʼnjira zambiri ndipo pamene tinakonzeka kuti tiyambe ulendo, anatipatsa zonse zomwe tinazisowa.

Inali sitima ya ku Alekisandriya imene inali ndi chizindikiro cha milungu ya mapasa yotchedwa Kastro ndi Polikisi. 12 Tinakafika ku Surakusa ndipo kumeneko tinakhalako masiku atatu. 13 Kuchokera kumeneko tinayenda ndi kukafika ku Regio.

Ndipo kenaka tinapita ku Roma. 15 Abale kumeneko atamva kuti tikubwera, anabwera kudzakumana nafe mpaka ku bwalo la Apiyo ndiponso ku nyumba za alendo zitatu. Atawaona anthu amenewa Paulo anayamika Mulungu ndipo analimbikitsidwa. 16 Titafika ku Roma, Paulo analoledwa kukhala pa yekha ndi msilikali womulondera.
Paulo Alalikira kwa Ayuda ku Roma
17 Patapita masiku atatu, Paulo anasonkhanitsa pamodzi atsogoleri a Ayuda. Atasonkhana, Paulo anawawuza kuti, “Abale anga, ngakhale kuti ine sindinachite kanthu kalikonse kulakwira mtundu wathu kapena miyambo ya makolo athu, koma anandigwira mu Yerusalemu ndi kundipereka mʼmanja mwa Aroma. 18 Iwo anandifufuza ndipo anafuna kundimasula chifukwa sanandipeze wopalamula mlandu woyenera kuphedwa. 19 Koma Ayuda atakana, ine ndinakakamizidwa kupempha kuti ndikaonekere pamaso pa Kaisara, sikuti ndinali ndi kanthu konenezera mtundu wanga. 20 Pa chifukwa ichi ndapempha kuti ndionane nanu ndi kuyankhula nanu. Pakuti nʼchifukwa cha chiyembekezo cha Israeli ndamangidwa unyolo uwu.”
21 Iwo anayankha kuti, “Ife sitinalandire kalata iliyonse yochokera ku Yudeya yonena za iwe, ndipo palibe mmodzi wa abale amene anachokera kumeneko anafotokoza kapena kunena kalikonse koyipa ka iwe. 22 Koma ife tikufuna kumva maganizo ako ndi otani, pakuti tikudziwa kuti ponseponse anthu akuyankhula zotsutsana ndi mpatuko umenewu.”
23 Iwo anakonza tsiku lina loti akumane ndi Paulo, ndipo anabwera anthu ambiri ku nyumba kumene amakhala. Kuyambira mmawa mpaka madzulo, Paulo anawafotokozera ndi kuwawuza za ufumu wa Mulungu ndipo anayesa kuwakopa kuti akhulupirire Yesu kuchokera mʼMalamulo a Mose ndiponso mʼmabuku a Aneneri. 24 Ena anakopeka ndi zimene Paulo ananena, koma enanso sanakhulupirire. 25 Ndipo anayamba kuchoka popeza sanagwirizane pakati pawo Paulo atanena mawu awa omaliza akuti, “Mzimu Woyera anayankhula zoona za makolo anu pamene Iye ananena kudzera mwa Mneneri Yesaya kuti,
26 “Pita kwa anthu awa ndi kuwawuza kuti,
‘Kumva mudzamva, koma osamvetsetsa;
kupenya mudzapenya, koma osaona kanthu.’
27 Pakuti mtima wa anthu ndi wokanika;
mʼmakutu mwawo ndi mogontha,
ndipo atsinzina kuti asaone kanthu.
Mwina angapenye ndi maso awo,
angamve ndi makutu awo,

Ineyo nʼkuwachiritsa.
28 “Chifukwa chake ine ndikufuna mudziwe kuti chipulumutso cha Mulungu chatumizidwa kwa anthu a mitundu ina, ndipo iwo adzamvera.” 29 Paulo atanena mawu amenewa, Ayuda aja anachoka akutsutsana kwambiri.
30 Paulo anakhala kumeneko zaka ziwiri zathunthu mʼnyumba yobwereka yomwe amalipira ndipo ankalandira aliyense amene amabwera kudzamuona. 31 Molimba mtima ndi popanda womuletsa, Paulo analalikira za ufumu wa Mulungu ndi kuphunzitsa za Ambuye Yesu Khristu.
