Salimo la Davide. Nyimbo yoyimba pokwera ku Yerusalemu.
133 Onani, nʼkokoma ndi kokondweretsa ndithu
pamene abale akhala pamodzi mwachiyanjano!
2 Zili ngati mafuta amtengowapatali othiridwa pa mutu,
otsikira ku ndevu,
ku ndevu za Aaroni,
oyenderera mpaka mʼkhosi mwa mkanjo wake.
3 Zili ngati mame a ku Heremoni
otsikira pa Phiri la Ziyoni.
Pakuti pamenepo Yehova amaperekapo dalitso,
ndiwo moyo wamuyaya.
Maloto a Nebukadinezara
2 Chaka chachiwiri cha ulamuliro wake, Nebukadinezara analota maloto; anavutika mu mtima mwake ndipo analephera kugona. 2 Tsono mfumu inayitana amatsenga, owombeza, amawula ndi oyangʼana nyenyezi kuti amufotokozere zomwe analota. Pamene iwo analowa ndi kuyima pamaso pa mfumu, 3 mfumuyo inawawuza kuti, “Ndalota loto lomwe likundisautsa ndipo ndikufuna kudziwa tanthauzo lake.”
4 Pamenepa alawuli anati kwa mfumu mʼChiaramu, “Mukhale ndi moyo wautali mfumu! Tiwuzeni ife atumiki anu zimene mwalota, ndipo tidzakuwuzani tanthauzo lake.”
5 Mfumu inayankha alawuliwo kuti, “Zimene ndatsimikiza kuchita ndi izi: Ngati inu simundifotokozera zimene ndalota ndi tanthauzo lake, mudzadulidwa nthulinthuli ndipo nyumba zanu ndidzazisandutsa bwinja. 6 Koma ngati mundiwuza zimene ndalota ndi tanthauzo lake, ndidzakupatsani mphatso ndi mphotho ndi ulemu waukulu. Choncho mundiwuze zimene ndalota ndi tanthauzo lake.”
7 Iwo anayankhanso kachiwiri kuti, “Mfumu iwuze atumiki ake chimene yalota, ndipo ife tidzatanthauzira.”
8 Ndipo mfumu inayankha kuti, “Ine ndikudziwa kuti mukungozengereza kufuna kutaya nthawi chabe chifukwa mukuzindikira kuti izi ndi zimene ndatsimikiza kuchita. 9 Ngati simundiwuza zimene ndalota, chilango chake ndi chimodzi. Inu mwagwirizana kuti mundiwuze ine bodza ndi chinyengo ndi kuyembekeza kuti ine ndisintha. Tsono mundiwuze zimene ndalota, ndipo ine ndidzadziwa kuti mukhoza kunditanthauzira.”
10 Alawuli anayankha mfumu kuti, “Palibe munthu pa dziko lapansi amene akhoza kuchita chimene mfumu ikufunsa! Palibe mfumu, kaya yayikulu kapena yamphamvu bwanji imene inafunsapo amatsenga, owombeza kapena alawuli aliwonse zimenezi. 11 Zimene mfumu yafunsa ndi zapatali. Palibe wina amene angathe kuwulula izi kwa mfumu kupatula milungu, ndipo sikhala pakati pa anthu.”
12 Zimenezi zinapsetsa mtima mfumu ndipo inakwiya kwambiri kotero inalamula kuti anzeru onse a ku Babuloni aphedwe. 13 Choncho lamulo linaperekedwa kuti anthu anzeru aphedwe, ndipo anatuma anthu kukafunafuna Danieli ndi anzake kuti iwonso aphedwe.
14 Danieli anayankhula mwanzeru ndi mwaulemu kwa Ariyoki, mkulu wa asilikali olondera mfumu amene anatumidwa kukapha anthu anzeru a ku Babuloni. 15 Danieli anafunsa Ariyoki kapitawo wa mfumu kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani mfumu yapereka lamulo lankhanza lotere?” Kenaka Ariyoki anafotokoza nkhaniyi kwa Danieli. 16 Danieli anapita mofulumira kwa mfumu ndipo anamupempha kuti amupatse nthawi kuti amuwuze zimene walota ndi tanthauzo lake.
17 Kenaka Danieli anabwerera ku nyumba kwake ndi kukafotokozera anzake aja zimenezi: Hananiya, Misaeli ndi Azariya. 18 Danieli anadandaulira anzake kuti apemphe kwa Mulungu wakumwamba kuti awachitire chifundo ndi kumuwululira chinsinsi, kuti iye ndi anzakewo asanyongedwe pamodzi ndi anzeru ena onse a ku Babuloni. 19 Usiku Yehova anamuwululira Danieli chinsinsi chija mʼmasomphenya. Pamenepo Danieli anatamanda Mulungu wakumwamba, 20 ndipo anati:
“Litamandike dzina la Mulungu ku nthawi za nthawi;
nzeru ndi mphamvu zonse ndi zake.
21 Amasintha nthawi ndi nyengo;
amakweza mafumu ndipo amawatsitsanso.
Amapatsa nzeru kwa anzeru
ndi chidziwitso kwa ozindikira zinthu.
22 Amavumbulutsa zinthu zozama ndi zobisika;
amadziwa zimene zili mu mdima,
ndipo kuwunika kumakhala ndi Iye.
23 Ndikuyamika ndi kutamanda Inu Mulungu wa makolo anga:
mwandipatsa nzeru ndi mphamvu,
mwandiwululira zomwe tinakupemphani,
mwatiwululira maloto a mfumu.”
Okhulupirira Apemphera
23 Atamasulidwa Petro ndi Yohane anapita kwa anzawo ndipo anawafotokozera zonse zimene akulu a ansembe ndi akulu anawawuza. 24 Anthu atamva zimenezi anafuwula ndi mtima umodzi napemphera kwa Mulungu. Iwo anati, “Ambuye wolamulira zonse, Inu munalenga kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi ndi nyanja ndiponso zonse zili mʼmenemo. 25 Inu munayankhula mwa Mzimu Woyera kudzera pakamwa pa Davide kholo lathu, mtumiki wanu kuti,
“ ‘Nʼchifukwa chiyani anthu a mitundu ina akufuna kuchita chiwembu,
ndipo akonzekera kuchita zopandapake?
26 Mafumu a dziko lapansi akugwirizana nazo;
ndipo olamulira asonkhana pamodzi
kulimbana ndi Ambuye
ndi wodzozedwa wakeyo.’
27 Zoonadi, Herode ndi Pontiyo Pilato anasonkhana pamodzi ndi amitundu ndiponso Aisraeli, mu mzinda muno, kupanga zolimbana ndi mtumiki wanu woyera Yesu, amene Inu munamudzoza. 28 Iwo anachita zimene munakonzeratu mwachifuniro chanu ndi mphamvu yanu kuti zichitike. 29 Tsopano, Ambuye taonani kuti atiopseza, tithandizeni ife atumiki anu, kuti tiyankhule mawu anu molimba mtima. 30 Tambasulani dzanja lanu kuchiritsa anthu ndipo kuti, zizindikiro zodabwitsa zichitike mʼdzina la mtumiki wanu woyera Yesu.”
31 Iwo atatha kupemphera, malo amene anasonkhanapo anagwedezeka. Ndipo iwo onse anadzazidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera ndipo anayankhula Mawu a Mulungu molimba mtima.
