Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
Salimo la Davide.
37 Usamavutike chifukwa cha anthu oyipa
kapena kuchitira nsanje amene akuchita cholakwa;
2 pakuti monga udzu iwo adzafota msanga,
ngati mbewu zobiriwira adzanyala msanga.
3 Khulupirira Yehova ndipo uzichita zabwino;
khazikika mʼdziko ndi kutsata zokhulupirika.
4 Udzikondweretse wekha mwa Yehova
ndipo Iye adzakupatsa zokhumba za mtima wako.
5 Pereka njira yako kwa Yehova;
dalira Iye ndipo Iyeyo adzachita izi:
6 Iye adzachititsa chilungamo chako kuwala ngati mʼbandakucha,
chiweruzo chako ngati dzuwa la masana.
7 Khala chete pamaso pa Yehova ndipo umudikire mofatsa;
usavutike pamene anthu apambana mʼnjira zawo,
pamene iwo achita zinthu zawo zoyipa.
8 Pewa kupsa mtima ndipo tembenuka kuchoka ku ukali,
usavutike chifukwa zimenezi zimatsogolera ku zoyipa.
9 Pakuti anthu oyipa adzachotsedwa,
koma iwo amene amayembekeza mwa Yehova adzalandira dziko.
10 Kwa kanthawi oyipa sadzapezekanso;
ngakhale muwafunefune, sadzapezekanso.
11 Koma ofatsa adzalandira dziko
ndipo adzasangalala ndi mtendere waukulu.
12 Oyipa amakonza chiwembu kutsutsana ndi olungama
ndipo amawakukutira mano;
13 koma Ambuye amaseka oyipa
pakuti Iye amadziwa kuti tsiku lawo likubwera.
14 Oyipa amasolola lupanga
ndi kupinda uta
kugwetsa osauka ndi osowa,
kupha iwo amene njira zawo ndi zolungama.
15 Koma malupanga awo analasa mitima yawo yomwe,
ndipo mauta awo anathyoka.
16 Zabwino zochepa zimene olungama ali nazo
ziposa chuma cha anthu oyipa ambiri;
17 pakuti mphamvu ya oyipa idzasweka,
koma Yehova amasunga olungama.
