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.
Adamu ndi Hava
4 Mbiri ya momwe kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi zinalengedwera pa tsiku lija Yehova Mulungu ankazilenga ndi iyi:
Yehova Mulungu atapanga dziko lapansi ndi kumwamba, 5 zitsamba zinali zisanamere ndipo chomera chilichonse chinali chisanamerenso popeza Yehova Mulungu anali asanagwetse mvula pa dziko lapansi. Panalibe munthu wolima nthaka, 6 koma kasupe ankatuluka mʼnthaka ndi kuthirira pa dziko lonse. 7 Tsono Yehova Mulungu anawumba munthu kuchokera ku dothi nawuziramo mpweya wamoyo mʼmphuno mwake ndipo munthuyo anakhala wamoyo.
8 Kenaka Yehova Mulungu anatsekula munda wa Edeni chakummawa; kumeneko anayikako munthu amene anamupanga uja. 9 Ndipo Yehova Mulungu anameretsa mʼmundamo mitengo ya mitundu yonse. Inali mitengo yokongola ndi ya zipatso zokoma. Pakati pa munda uja panali mtengo wopatsa moyo ndi mtengo wopatsa nzeru zodziwitsa chabwino ndi choyipa.
10 Mtsinje wothirira mundawo unkatuluka mu Edeni; kuchokera apo unkagawikana kukhala mitsinje inayi. 11 Dzina la mtsinje woyamba ndi Pisoni; uwu umazungulira dziko lonse la Havila, kumene kuli golide. 12 (Golide wa ku dziko ili ndi wabwino. Kulinso miyala yokongola ya bedola ndi onikisi). 13 Dzina la mtsinje wachiwiri ndi Gihoni; uwu umazungulira dziko lonse la Kusi. 14 Dzina la mtsinje wachitatu ndi Tigirisi; umayenda chakummawa kwa Asiriya. Ndipo mtsinje wachinayi ndi Yufurate.
15 Yehova Mulungu anatenga munthu uja ndi kumuyika mʼmunda wa Edeni kuti awulime ndi kuwusamalira. 16 Ndipo Yehova Mulungu analamula munthu uja kuti, “Uzidya zipatso za mu mtengo wina uliwonse mʼmundamu; 17 koma usadye zipatso za mu mtengo wodziwitsa chabwino ndi choyipa, popeza ukadzadya za mu mtengowu udzafa ndithu.”
18 Ndipo Yehova Mulungu anati, “Sibwino kuti munthu akhale yekha. Ndidzamupangira mnzake womuthandiza.”
19 Kenaka Yehova Mulungu anawumba ndi dothi nyama zonse zakuthengo ndi mbalame zonse zamlengalenga. Ndipo Iye anapita nazo kwa munthu uja kuti akazipatse mayina; ndipo dzina lililonse limene Adamu anapereka ku chamoyo chilichonse, lomwelo linakhala dzina lake. 20 Choncho Adamu anazitcha mayina ziweto zonse, mbalame zamlengalenga ndi nyama zakuthengo zonse.
Komabe munthu uja analibe mnzake womuthandiza. 21 Tsono Yehova Mulungu anamugonetsa munthu uja tulo tofa nato; ali mtulo chomwecho, Mulungu anachotsa imodzi mwa nthiti zake ndi kutseka pamalopo ndi mnofu. 22 Motero Yehova Mulungu anapanga mkazi ndi nthiti ija imene anatenga kwa munthu uja nabwera naye kwa iye.
23 Munthu uja anati,
“Uyu ndiye fupa lochokera ku mafupa anga
ndi mnofu wochokera ku mnofu wanga;
adzatchedwa ‘mkazi,’
popeza wachokera mwa mwamuna.”
24 Nʼchifukwa chake, mwamuna amasiya abambo ndi amayi ake nakaphatikana ndi mkazi wake ndipo awiriwo amakhala thupi limodzi.
25 Munthu uja ndi mkazi wakeyo, onse awiri anali maliseche ndipo analibe manyazi.
6 Sikuti mawu a Mulungu analephera. Pakuti si onse obadwa mwa Israeli amene ndi Israeli. 7 Kapena kuti ana ake chifukwa anachokera mwa Abrahamu. Koma zidzukulu zako zidzachokera mwa Isake. 8 Kutanthauza kuti, si ana obadwa mʼthupi amene ndi ana a Mulungu koma ndi ana a lonjezano amene amatengedwa kukhala zidzukulu za Abrahamu. 9 Pakuti Mulungu analonjeza ponena kuti, “Pa nthawi yake ngati yomwe ino chaka chamawa ndidzabweranso, ndipo Sara adzakhala ndi mwana wamwamuna.”
10 Ndipo si pokhapo ayi. Ana awiri a Rebeka aja abambo awo anali mmodzi, kholo lathu Isake. 11 Komabe, ana amapasawa asanabadwe kapena asanachite chilichonse chabwino kapena choyipa, nʼcholinga choti chifuniro cha Mulungu chosankhiratu munthu aliyense chipitirire, 12 osati chifukwa cha ntchito za munthu koma chifuniro cha Iye mwini, anawuza Rebeka kuti, “Wamkulu adzatumikira wamʼngʼono.” 13 Monga momwe kwalembedwa kuti, “Ine ndinakonda Yakobo, koma ndinamuda Esau.”
