Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
Nyimbo. Salimo la Davide.
108 Mtima wanga ndi wokhazikika, Inu Mulungu;
ndidzayimba nyimbo, inde ndidzayimba nyimbo zotamanda ndi moyo wanga wonse.
2 Dzukani, zeze ndi pangwe!
Ine ndidzadzutsa mʼbandakucha.
3 Ndidzakutamandani Yehova, pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina;
ndidzayimba za Inu pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina.
4 Pakuti chikondi chanu nʼchachikulu, kutalika kwake kuposa kumwamba;
kukhulupirika kwanu kumafika mlengalenga.
5 Kwezekani Inu Mulungu, kuposa mayiko akumwamba,
ndipo ulemerero wanu uphimbe dziko lonse lapansi.
6 Tipulumutseni ndi kutithandiza ndi dzanja lanu lamanja
kuti iwo amene mumawakonda apulumutsidwe.
7 Mulungu wayankhula kuchokera ku malo ake opatulika:
“Mwachipambano Ine ndidzagawa Sekemu
ndipo ndidzayesa chigwa cha Sukoti.
8 Giliyadi ndi wanga, Manase ndi wanganso;
Efereimu ndi chipewa changa chodzitetezera,
Yuda ndi ndodo yanga yaufumu.
9 Mowabu ndi mbale yanga yosambiramo
ndidzaponya nsapato zanga pa Edomu;
ndidzafuwula mopambana pa Filisitiya.”
10 Ndani adzandifikitsa ku mzinda wotetezedwa?
Ndani adzanditsogolera ku Edomu?
11 Kodi sindinu Mulungu, Inu amene mwatikana
ndipo simuperekezanso magulu athu ankhondo?
12 Tithandizeni ife kulimbana ndi mdani,
pakuti thandizo la munthu ndi lopanda pake.
13 Chifukwa cha Mulungu wathu, ife tidzapeza chipambano,
ndipo adzapondereza pansi adani athu.
3 Ndipo Samueli anati kwa nyumba yonse ya Israeli, “Ngati mukubwerera kwa Yehova ndi mtima wanu wonse, muchotse milungu yachilendo ndi Asiteroti pakati panu ndipo mitima yanu ikhazikike pa Yehova ndi kutumikira Iye yekha. Mukatero Iye adzakupulumutsani mʼmanja mwa Afilisti.” 4 Choncho Aisraeli anachotsa milungu yawo ya Baala ndi Asitoreti ndi kutumikira Yehova yekha.
5 Kenaka Samueli anati, “Sonkhanitsani Aisraeli onse ku Mizipa ndipo ine ndidzakupemphererani kwa Yehova.” 6 Choncho anasonkhana ku Mizipa, ndipo anatunga madzi ndi kuwathira pansi pamaso pa Yehova. Pa tsiku limenelo anasala kudya namanena kuti, “Ife tachimwira Yehova.” Ndipo Samueli anali mtsogoleri wa Israeli ku Mizipa.
7 Afilisti anamva kuti Aisraeli asonkhana ku Mizipa, choncho akalonga awo anabwera kudzawathira nkhondo. Ndipo Aisraeli atamva anachita mantha chifukwa cha Afilisti. 8 Choncho anati kwa Samueli, “Musasiye kutipempherera kwa Yehova Mulungu wathu, kuti atipulumutse mʼdzanja la Afilistiwa.” 9 Ndipo Samueli anatenga mwana wankhosa wamkazi woyamwa ndi kumupereka monga nsembe yopsereza kwa Yehova. Iye anapemphera kwa Yehova mʼmalo mwa Aisraeli, ndipo Yehova anamuyankha.
10 Samueli akupereka nsembe yopsereza, Afilisti anayandikira kuti ayambe kuwathira nkhondo Aisraeli. Koma tsiku limenelo Yehova anawaopseza Afilisti aja ndi mawu aakulu ngati bingu. Choncho anasokonezeka motero kuti Aisraeli anawagonjetsa. 11 Aisraeli anatuluka ku Mizipa kuthamangitsa Afilisti aja nʼkumawapha mʼnjira yonse mpaka kumunsi kwa Beti-Kari.
12 Kenaka Samueli anatenga mwala nawuyika pakati pa Mizipa ndi Seni. Iye anawutcha Ebenezeri, popeza anati, “Yehova watithandiza mpaka pano.” 13 Kotero Afilisti anagonjetsedwa ndipo sanadzalowenso mʼdziko la Israeli.
Yehova analimbana ndi Afilisti masiku onse a Samueli. 14 Mizinda yonse imene Afilisti analanda kuchokera ku Ekroni mpaka ku Gati inabwezedwa kwa Aisraeli. Choncho Aisraeli anapulumutsa dziko lawo. Ndipo panalinso mtendere pakati pa Aisraeli ndi Aamori.
15 Samueli anatsogolera Aisraeli moyo wake wonse.
Zaka 1,000
20 Ndipo ndinaona mngelo akutsika kuchokera kumwamba ali ndi kiyi ya ku chidzenje chakuya chija atanyamula mʼdzanja lake unyolo waukulu. 2 Iye anachigwira chinjokacho, chinjoka chakalekale chija, amene ndi Mdierekezi kapena kuti Satana, ndipo anamumanga zaka 1,000. 3 Anamuponya ku chidzenje chakuya chija namutsekera ndi kiyi ndi kumatirira pa khomopo kuti asatulukenso kukanyenga mitundu ya anthu mpaka patapita zaka 1,000. Zikadzatha zakazo, adzamumasula kwa kanthawi pangʼono chabe.
4 Ndinaona mipando yaufumu pamene anakhalapo anthu amene anapatsidwa mphamvu zoweruza. Ndipo ndinaona mizimu ya amene anadulidwa makosi chifukwa cha umboni wa Yesu ndi chifukwa cha Mawu a Mulungu. Iwo sanapembedze nawo chirombo kapena fano lake ndipo sanalembedwe chizindikiro chake pa mphumi zawo kapena pa manja awo. Iwo anakhalanso ndi moyo nalamulira pamodzi ndi Khristu zaka 1,000. 5 (Akufa ena onse sanaukenso mpaka zitatha zaka 1,000). Uku ndiko kuuka kwa akufa koyamba. 6 Odala ndi oyera mtima amene adzaukitsidwa nawo pa kuukitsidwa koyamba. Imfa yachiwiri ilibe mphamvu pa iwo koma adzakhala ansembe a Mulungu ndi a Khristu ndipo adzalamulira naye pamodzi zaka 1,000.
