19 Zakumwamba zimalengeza za ulemerero wa Mulungu;
thambo limalalikira ntchito za manja ake.
2 Tsiku ndi tsiku zimayankhula mawu ambiri,
usiku ndi usiku zimaonetsa poyera nzeru.
3 Palibe kuyankhula, palibe mawu aliwonse;
liwu lawo silimveka.
4 Koma uthenga wawo umapita pa dziko lonse lapansi,
mawuwo amafika mpaka
kumalekezero a dziko lapansi.
5 Dzuwa lili ngati mkwatibwi wobwera kuchokera ku nsanja yake,
ngati katswiri wokondwerera kuthamanga pa mpikisano.
6 Limatuluka kuyambira mbali ina ya thambo
ndi kuzungulira mpaka mbali inanso;
palibe chinthu chotha kupewa kutentha kwake.
7 Lamulo la Yehova ndi langwiro,
kutsitsimutsa moyo.
Maumboni a Yehova ndi odalirika,
amapereka nzeru kwa wopanda nzeru.
8 Malangizo a Yehova ndi olungama,
amapereka chimwemwe mu mtima.
Malamulo a Yehova ndi onyezimira,
amapereka kuwala.
9 Kuopa Yehova ndiye chinthu changwiro,
chimakhala mpaka muyaya.
Maweruzo a Yehova ndi owona
ndipo onse ndi olungama;
10 ndi a mtengowapatali kuposa golide,
kuposa golide weniweni;
ndi otsekemera kuposa uchi,
kuposa uchi wochokera pa chisa chake.
11 Mtumiki wanu amachenjezedwa nawo;
powasunga pali mphotho yayikulu.
12 Ndani angathe kudziwa zolakwa zake?
Mundikhululukire zolakwa zanga zobisika.
13 Muteteze mtumiki wanunso ku machimo ochita akudziwa;
iwo asandilamulire.
Kotero ndidzakhala wosalakwa,
wopanda mlandu wa tchimo lalikulu.
14 Mawu a mʼkamwa mwanga ndi zolingalira za mu mtima mwanga
zikhale zokondweretsa pamaso panu,
Inu Yehova, Thanthwe langa ndi Mpulumutsi wanga.
Thupi Limodzi Ziwalo Zambiri
12 Thupi ndi limodzi, ngakhale kuti lapangidwa ndi ziwalo zambiri. Ndipo ngakhale ziwalo zake zonse ndi zambiri, zimapanga thupi limodzi. Momwemonso ndi mmene alili Khristu. 13 Pakuti tonse tinabatizidwa ndi Mzimu mmodzi mʼthupi limodzi. Myuda kapena Mgriki, kapolo kapena mfulu tonse tinapatsidwa kuti timwe Mzimu mmodzi yemweyo. 14 Tsopano thupi silinapangidwe ndi chiwalo chimodzi koma ndi ziwalo zambiri.
15 Ngati phazi litanena kuti, “Pakuti sindine dzanja, sindine chiwalo cha thupi.” Chifukwa chimenechi sichingachititse phazi kuti lisakhale chiwalo cha thupi. 16 Ndipo ngati khutu litanena kuti, “Pakuti sindine diso, sindine chiwalo cha thupi.” Chifukwa chimenechi sichingachititse khutu kuti lisakhale chiwalo cha thupi. 17 Kodi thupi lonse likanakhala diso, tikanamamva bwanji? Nanga thupi lonse likanakhala khutu, tikanamanunkhiza bwanji? 18 Koma zoona nʼzakuti, Mulungu anayika ziwalo mʼthupi, chilichonse monga momwe Iye anafunira. 19 Nanga zonse zikanakhala chiwalo chimodzi, ndiye thupi likanakhala lotani? 20 Mmene zililimu, pali ziwalo zambiri koma thupi ndi limodzi lokha.
21 Diso silingawuze dzanja kuti, “Iwe sindikukufuna!” Ndipo mutu sungawuze phazi kuti “Iwe sindikukufuna!” 22 Mʼmalo mwake, ziwalo zathupi zimene zimaoneka ngati zofowoka ndizo zili zofunikira kwambiri, 23 ndipo ziwalo zathupi zimene timaziyesa zopanda ulemu, ndizo timazilemekeza kwambiri. Ndipo ziwalo zosaoneka bwino ndizo zimalandira ulemu wapadera. 24 Koma ziwalo zooneka bwino, nʼkosafunika kuti tizisamalire mwapadera. Mulungu polumikiza ziwalo zathupi, anapereka ulemu wopambana kwa ziwalo zimene zimafunadi ulemuwo 25 kuti pasakhale kugawikana mʼthupi koma kuti ziwalo zonse zisamalirane. 26 Ngati chiwalo chimodzi chikumva kuwawa, ziwalo zonse zimamvanso kuwawa. Ngati chiwalo chimodzi chilandira ulemu, ziwalo zonse zimakondwera nawo.
27 Tsopano inu ndinu thupi la Khristu, ndipo aliyense wa inu ndi chiwalo cha thupilo. 28 Ndipo Mulungu mu mpingo anayika poyamba atumwi, kachiwiri aneneri, kachitatu aphunzitsi, kenaka ochita zozizwitsa, ena a mphatso zamachiritso, ena a mphatso yothandiza anzawo, ena a mphatso yotsogolera ndiponso ena a mphatso ya malilime. 29 Kodi onse ndi atumwi? Kodi onse ndi aneneri? Kodi onse ndi aphunzitsi? Kodi onse amachita zozizwitsa? 30 Kodi onse ali ndi mphatso zamachiritso? Kodi onse amayankhula malilime? Kodi onse amatanthauzira malilime? 31 Koma funitsitsani mphatso zopambana.
Tsopano ndikuonetsani njira yopambana kwambiri.

14 Yesu anabwerera ku Galileya mu mphamvu ya Mzimu Woyera, ndipo mbiri yake inafalikira ku madera onse a ku midzi. 15 Iye ankaphunzitsa mʼmasunagoge awo, ndipo aliyense ankamulemekeza.
16 Iye anapita ku Nazareti, kumene anakulira, ndipo pa tsiku la Sabata anakalowa mʼsunagoge, monga mwa chikhalidwe chake. Ndipo anayimirira kuti awerenge malemba. 17 Anamupatsa buku la mneneri Yesaya. Atalitsekula, anapeza pamalo pamene panalembedwa kuti,
18 “Mzimu wa Ambuye ali pa Ine;
chifukwa wandidzoza
kuti ndilalikire Uthenga Wabwino kwa osauka.
Wandituma kuti ndilalikire kwa a mʼndende kuti amasulidwe
ndi kwa osaona kuti apenyenso,

19 ndi kulalikira za nthawi imene Ambuye adzakomere mtima anthu awo.”
20 Kenaka Iye anatseka bukulo, nalibwezera kwa wotumikira ndipo anakakhala pansi. Maso a aliyense mʼsunagogemo anali pa Iye, 21 ndipo anawawuza kuti, “Lero malemba awa akwaniritsidwa mmene mwamveramu.”
