Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
13 Pakuti Inu munalenga za mʼkati mwanga;
munandiwumba pamodzi mʼmimba mwa amayi anga.
14 Ndimakuyamikani chifukwa ndinapangidwa mochititsa mantha ndi modabwitsa;
ntchito zanu ndi zodabwitsa,
zimenezi ndimazidziwa bwino lomwe.
15 Mapangidwe anga sanabisike pamaso panu
pamene ndimapangidwa mʼmalo achinsinsi,
pamene ndinkawumbidwa mwaluso mʼmimba ya amayi anga.
16 Maso anu anaona thupi langa lisanawumbidwe.
Masiku onse amene anapatsidwa kwa ine, analembedwa mʼbuku lanu
asanayambe nʼkuwerengedwa komwe.
17 Zolingalira zanu pa ine ndi zamtengowapatali, Inu Mulungu,
ndi zosawerengeka ndithu!
18 Ndikanaziwerenga,
zikanakhala zochuluka kuposa mchenga;
pamene ndadzuka, ndili nanube.

9 Koma Esau anati, “Mʼbale wanga, ine ndili nazo kale zambiri. Zinthu zakozi sunga.”

Ngati ndizimenya kuti zifulumire, tsiku limodzi lokha nyamazo zidzafa. 14 Choncho, mbuye wanga lolani kuti mutsogole. Ine ndiziyenda pangʼonopangʼono pambuyo pa ziwetozi ndi anawa mpaka ndikafika ku Seiri.”

16 Choncho tsiku limenelo Esau anayamba ulendo wobwerera ku Seiri. 17 Komabe Yakobo anapita ku Sukoti. Kumeneko anamanga nyumba yake ndi makola a ziweto zake. Nʼchifukwa chake malowa amatchedwa Sukoti.
Hagara ndi Sara
21 Tandiwuzani, inu, abale amene mukufuna kukhala pansi pa lamulo, kodi simukudziwa chimene lamulo limanena? 22 Pakuti zinalembedwa kuti Abrahamu anali ndi ana aamuna awiri, wina mayi wake anali kapolo ndipo wina mayi wake anali mfulu. 23 Mwana wake wobadwa mwa kapolo anabadwa mwathupi; koma mwana wake wobadwa mwa mfulu anabadwa monga mwa lonjezo.

Zili chimodzimodzinso lero. 30 Kodi Malemba akuti chiyani? “Muchotse kapoloyo pamodzi ndi mwana wake, chifukwa mwana wa kapolo sadzagawana chuma ndi mwana wamfulu.” 31 Chifukwa chake, abale, ife sindife ana akapolo, koma ana a mfulu.
