Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide.
139 Inu Yehova, mwandisanthula
ndipo mukundidziwa.
2 Inu mumadziwa pamene ndikhala pansi ndi pamene ndidzuka;
mumazindikira maganizo anga muli kutali.
3 Mumapenyetsetsa pamene ndikutuluka ndi kugona kwanga;
mumadziwa njira zanga zonse.
4 Mawu asanatuluke pa lilime langa
mumawadziwa bwinobwino, Inu Yehova.
5 Mumandizinga kumbuyo ndi kutsogolo komwe;
mwasanjika dzanja lanu pa ine.
6 Nzeru zimenezi ndi zopitirira nzeru zanga,
ndi zapamwamba kuti ine ndizipeze.
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.
16 Choncho Yehova anawawutsira atsogoleri amene ankawapulumutsa mʼmanja mwa anthu amene ankasakaza zinthu zawo. 17 Komabe iwo sanawamvere atsogoleri awowo popeza ankapembedza milungu ina ndi kumayigwadira. Iwo anapatuka msangamsanga mu njira imene ankayendamo makolo awo. Iwo aja ankamvera malamulo a Yehova, koma mʼbado uwu ayi. 18 Nthawi zonse Yehova akawautsira mtsogoleri, Iye amakhala naye, ndipo mtsogoleriyo ankawapulumutsa Aisraeliwo mʼmanja mwa adani awo mʼnthawi imene anali moyo. Yehova ankawamvera chisoni Aisraeli pamene ankabuwula chifukwa cha anthu owazunza ndi kuwasautsa. 19 Koma nthawi zonse mtsogoleri akamwalira, Aisraeli ankabwerera mʼmbuyo. Iwo amadzisandutsa oyipa kupambana makolo awo popeza ankatsata milungu ina, kuyitumikira ndi kumayigwadira. Anakana kusiya makhalidwe awo oyipa ndi njira zawo zamakani.
20 Choncho Yehova anawapsera mtima Aisraeli ndipo anati, “Chifukwa mtundu uwu waswa pangano limene ndinakhazikitsa ndi makolo awo ndipo sanandimvere, 21 Inenso sindidzapirikitsanso mtundu uli wonse wa anthu amene Yoswa anawasiya pomwalira. 22 Ndidzatero kuti ndiwayese Aisraeli ndi kuona ngati adzasamala kuyenda mʼnjira ya Ine Yehova monga momwe ankachitira makolo awo.” 23 Choncho Yehova anayileka mitundu imeneyi ndipo sanayithamangitse kapena kuyipereka mʼmanja mwa Yoswa.
16 Atayimirira, Paulo anakweza dzanja lake ndi kuti, “Inu Aisraeli ndiponso inu a mitundu ina amene mumapembedza Mulungu, tandimverani! 17 Mulungu wa Aisraeli anasankha makolo athu ndipo anawapatsa chuma chambiri pamene amakhala ku Igupto. Anawatulutsa mʼdzikomo ndi dzanja lake lamphamvu. 18 Ndipo Iye anapirira khalidwe lawo mʼchipululu kwa zaka makumi anayi. 19 Mulungu anawagonjetsera mitundu isanu ndi iwiri ya ku Kanaani ndipo anapereka dzikolo kwa Israeli kuti likhale lawo. 20 Izi zonse zinatenga zaka 450.
“Zitatha izi, Mulungu anawapatsa oweruza mpaka nthawi ya mneneri Samueli. 21 Kenaka anthu anapempha kuti awapatse mfumu, ndipo anawapatsa Sauli mwana wa Kisi, wa fuko la Benjamini amene analamulira zaka makumi anayi. 22 Mulungu atamuchotsa Sauli, anayika Davide kukhala mfumu yawo. Mulungu anamuchitira umboni kuti, ‘Ndapeza Davide mwana wa Yese munthu wa pamtima panga; iye adzachita zonse zimene ine ndikufuna kuti iye achite.’
23 “Kuchokera mwa zidzukulu za munthu ameneyu, Mulungu anawutsa Yesu kukhala Mpulumutsi wa Aisraeli, monga analonjezera. 24 Yesu asanabwere, Yohane analalikira kwa anthu onse Aisraeli za kutembenuka mtima ndi ubatizo. 25 Pamene Yohane amatsiriza ntchito yake anati: ‘Mukuganiza kuti ine ndine yani? Ine sindine ameneyo ayi, koma Iye akubwera pambuyo panga, amene ine sindine woyenera kumasula zingwe za nsapato zake.’
