Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
115 Kwa ife ayi Yehova, kwa ife ayi
koma ulemerero ukhale pa dzina lanu,
chifukwa cha chikondi chanu chosasinthika ndiponso chifukwa cha kukhulupirika kwanu.
2 Chifukwa chiyani anthu a mitundu ina akunena kuti,
“Mulungu wawo ali kuti?”
3 Mulungu wathu ali kumwamba;
Iye amachita chilichonse chimene chimamukondweretsa.
4 Koma mafano awo ndi siliva ndi golide,
opangidwa ndi manja a anthu.
5 Pakamwa ali napo koma sayankhula,
maso ali nawo koma sapenya;
6 makutu ali nawo koma samva,
mphuno ali nazo koma sanunkhiza;
7 manja ali nawo koma akakhudza samva kanthu;
mapazi ali nawo koma sayenda;
kapena pakhosi pawo kutulutsa mawu.
8 Anthu amene amapanga mafanowo adzafanana nawo,
chimodzimodzinso onse amene amadalira mafanowo.
9 Inu Aisraeli, dalirani Yehova;
Iye ndiye thandizo lanu ndi chishango chanu.
10 Iwe nyumba ya Aaroni, dalira Yehova;
Iye ndiye thandizo lako ndi chishango chako.
11 Inu amene mumaopa Iye, dalirani Yehova;
Iye ndiye thandizo lanu ndi chishango chanu.
12 Yehova watikumbukira ndipo adzatidalitsa:
adzadalitsa nyumba ya Israeli,
adzadalitsa nyumba ya Aaroni,
13 adzadalitsa iwo amene amaopa Yehova;
aangʼono ndi aakulu omwe.
14 Yehova akuwonjezereni madalitso;
inuyo pamodzi ndi ana anu.
15 Mudalitsidwe ndi Yehova,
Wolenga kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi.
16 Kumwamba ndi kwa Yehova,
koma dziko lapansi Iye walipereka kwa anthu.
17 Si anthu akufa amene amatamanda Yehova,
amene amatsikira kuli chete;
18 ndi ife amene timatamanda Yehova,
kuyambira tsopano mpaka muyaya.
Tamandani Yehova.
15 Koma chadzulo lake Sauli asanafike, Yehova anali atamuwuza kale Samueli za zimenezi kuti, 16 “Mawa nthawi ngati yomwe ino ndidzakutumizira munthu wochokera ku dziko la Benjamini. Udzamudzoze kuti akhale mtsogoleri wa anthu anga, Aisraeli. Iye adzawapulumutsa mʼdzanja la Afilisti. Ine ndaona kuzunzika kwawo ndipo ndamva kulira kwawo.”
17 Samueli atamuona Sauli, Yehova anamuwuza kuti, “Munthu ndinakuwuza uja ndi uyu. Iyeyu adzalamulira anthu anga.”
18 Tsono Sauli anayandikira Samueli pa chipata ndipo anamufunsa, “Kodi mungandiwuze kumene kuli nyumba ya mlosi?”
19 Samueli anayankha, “Ine ndine mlosiyo. Tsogolani kupita ku phiri pakuti lero mudya ndi ine, ndipo mawa mmawa ndidzakuwuzani zonse zimene zili mu mtima mwanu. 20 Musadere nkhawa za abulu anu amene akhala akusowa masiku atatu apitawa, poti apezeka kale. Kodi Aisraeli onse akufunitsitsa ndani? Kodi si ndiwe ndi nyumba yonse ya abambo ako?”
21 Sauli anayankha, “Inetu ndine Mbenjamini, fuko lalingʼono la mafuko onse a Israeli, ndipo banja langa ndi lalingʼono pakati pa mabanja a fuko la Benjamini. Nanga nʼchifukwa chiyani mukunena zimenezi kwa ine?”
22 Ndipo Samueli anatenga Sauli ndi mnyamata wake uja ndi kulowa nawo mʼchipinda chachikulu ndipo anawakhazika kutsogolo kwa anthu oyitanidwa. Onse pamodzi analipo anthu makumi atatu. 23 Tsono Samueli anati kwa wophika, “Bwera nayo nyama imene ndinakupatsa, imene ndinakuwuza kuti uyisunge pambali.”
24 Kotero wophikayo anatenga mwendo wa nyama ndipo anawuyika patsogolo pa Sauli. Samueli anati “Nayi nyama imene ndinakusungira kuti pa nthawi yake udye pamodzi ndi anthu amene ndawayitana.” Ndipo Sauli anadya tsiku limenelo ndi Samueli.
25 Atatsika kuchoka ku phiri kuja, Samueli anamukonzera Sauli malo ogona pa denga la nyumba yake, ndipo Sauli anagona pamenepo. 26 Tsono mʼbandakucha Samueli anayitana Sauli pa dengapo nati, “Konzeka ndipo ine ndikuperekeza.” Choncho Sauli anadzuka ndipo onse awiri, Samueli ndi Sauli anakalowa mu msewu. 27 Atakafika ku mathero a mzindawo, Samueli anati kwa Sauli, “Muwuzeni mnyamata wanu kuti atsogole, koma inuyo muyime pangʼono kuti ndikuwuzeni mawu ochokera kwa Mulungu.”
10 Ndipo Samueli anatenga botolo la mafuta nathira mafutawo pa mutu wa Sauli ndipo anapsompsona nati, “Yehova wakudzoza kuti ukhale mtsogoleri wa anthu ake, Aisraeli. Iwe udzalamulira anthu a Yehova ndiponso udzawapulumutsa mʼmanja mwa adani awo owazungulira. Chizindikiro chakuti Yehova wakudzoza kuti ukhale mtsogoleri wa anthu ake ndi ichi:
Zowayenereza Oyangʼanira ndi Atumiki
3 Mawu woona ndi awa: Ngati munthu akufunitsitsa atakhala woyangʼanira, ndiye kuti akufuna ntchito yabwino. 2 Tsono woyangʼanira ayenera kukhala munthu wopanda chotsutsika nacho, mwamuna wa mkazi mmodzi yekha, woganiza bwino, wodziretsa, waulemu, wosamala bwino alendo, wodziwa kuphunzitsa. 3 Asakhale chidakwa, asakhale wandewu, koma wofatsa, asakhale wokonda mikangano, kapena wokonda ndalama. 4 Akhale wodziwa kusamala bwino banja lake ndi kulera ana ake bwino, kuti akhale omvera ndi aulemu weniweni. 5 (Ngati munthu sadziwa kusamala banja lake lomwe, angathe bwanji kusamala mpingo wa Mulungu?) 6 Asakhale wongotembenuka mtima kumene kuopa kuti angadzitukumule napezeka pa chilango monga Satana. 7 Ayeneranso kukhala munthu wambiri yabwino ndi akunja, kuti anthu asamutonze nagwa mu msampha wa Satana.
