Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
68 “Alemekezeke Ambuye, Mulungu wa Israeli
chifukwa wabwera ndi kuwombola anthu ake.
69 Iye wakweza nyanga yachipulumutso kwa ife
mu nyumba ya mtumiki wake Davide.
70 (Monga mmene ananenera kudzera mwa aneneri oyera),
71 chipulumutso kuchoka kwa adani athu
ndi kuchoka mʼdzanja la onse otida,
72 kuonetsa chifundo kwa makolo athu
ndi kukumbukira pangano lake loyera,
73 lumbiro limene analumbira kwa kholo lathu Abrahamu:
74 kutilanditsa ife mʼdzanja la adani athu,
ndi kutipanga ife timutumikire Iye mopanda mantha,
75 mʼchiyero ndi mʼchilungamo masiku athu onse.
76 “Ndipo iwe mwana wanga udzatchedwa mneneri wa Wammwambamwamba;
pakuti udzapita patsogolo pa Ambuye kukonza njira yake,
77 kupatsa anthu ake chidziwitso cha chipulumutso
kudzera mwa chikhululukiro cha machimo awo,
78 chifukwa cha chifundo chachikulu cha Mulungu wathu,
ndipo kuwala kwa dzuwa kudzafikira ife kuchokera kumwamba,
79 kuwalira iwo okhala mu mdima
ndi mu mthunzi wa imfa,
kutsogolera mapazi athu mu njira yamtendere.”
13 Yehova akuti, “Mwayankhula mawu owawa onena za Ine.
“Komabe inu mukufunsa kuti, ‘Kodi tanena chiyani chotsutsana nanu?’
14 “Mwanena kuti, ‘Kutumikira Mulungu nʼkosapindulitsa. Kodi timapindulanji pochita zofuna zake, ndi kumayenda ngati anamfedwa pamaso pa Yehova Wamphamvuzonse? 15 Koma tsono ife timati anthu odzikuza ndiye odalitsika. Kunena zoona anthu oyipa ndiye amapeza bwino, ngakhale amene amanyoza Mulungu amapulumuka.’ ”
16 Ndipo woopa Yehova anayamba kukambirana, ndipo Yehova anamvetsera. Buku la chikumbutso linalembedwa pamaso pake, lonena za amene amaopa Yehova ndi kulemekeza dzina lake.
17 Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, “Anthu amenewo adzakhala anga, tsiku limene Ine ndidzachita izi, adzakhala angaanga. Ndidzawaleka osawalanga monga mmene munthu amachitira chifundo mwana wake amene amamutumikira. 18 Pamenepo mudzaonanso kusiyana pakati pa anthu olungama ndi oyipa, pakati pa amene amatumikira Mulungu ndi amene satumikira Mulungu.”
