Pemphero la Davide.
17 Imvani Inu Yehova pempho langa lachilungamo;
mverani kulira kwanga.
Tcherani khutu kuti mumve pemphero langa
popeza silikuchokera pakamwa pachinyengo.
2 Kusalakwa kwanga kuchokera kwa inu;
maso anu aone chimene ndi cholungama.
3 Ngakhale Inu mutafufuza mtima wanga ndi kundisanthula usiku,
ngakhale mutandiyesa, simudzapeza kanthu;
Ine ndatsimikiza kuti pakamwa panga sipadzachimwa.
4 Kunena za ntchito za anthu,

Ine ndadzisunga ndekha
posatsata njira zachiwawa.
5 Mayendedwe anga akhazikika pa njira zanu;
mapazi anga sanaterereke.
6 Ine ndikuyitana Inu, Mulungu wanga, pakuti mudzandiyankha;
tcherani khutu lanu kwa ine ndipo mumve pemphero langa.
7 Onetsani kudabwitsa kwa chikondi chanu chachikulu,
Inu amene mumapulumutsa ndi dzanja lanu lamanja

8 Mundisunge ine ngati mwanadiso;

10 Iwo amatseka mitima yawo yopanda chifundo,
ndi pakamwa pawo amayankhula modzitamandira.
11 Andisaka, tsopano andizungulira
ndi maso awo atcheru, kuti andigwetse pansi.
12 Iwo ali ngati mkango wofuna nyama;

13 Dzukani Yehova, mulimbane nawo ndipo muwagwetse pansi;
landitseni kuchoka kwa oyipa ndi lupanga lanu.
14 Inu Yehova, pulumutseni ndi dzanja lanu kwa anthu otere,

ndipo iwo amasunga chuma cha ana awo.
15 Ndipo ine mʼchilungamo ndidzaona nkhope yanu;
pamene ndidzadzuka, ndidzakondwera kwambiri poonana nanu.
Zovala Zoyera za Mkulu wa Ansembe
3 Pamenepo anandionetsa Yoswa, mkulu wa ansembe, atayima pamaso pa mngelo wa Yehova, ndipo Satana anayima ku dzanja lake lamanja kuti atsutsane naye. 2 Yehova anawuza Satana kuti, “Yehova akukudzudzula iwe Satana! Yehova amene wasankha Yerusalemu akukudzudzula! Kodi munthu uyu sali ngati chikuni choyaka chofumula pa moto?”
3 Tsono Yoswa anali atavala zovala zalitsiro pa nthawi imene anayima pamaso pa mngelo. 4 Mngelo uja anawuza anzake amene anali naye kuti, “Muvuleni zovala zake zalitsirizo.”
Kenaka anawuza Yoswa kuti, “Taona, ndachotsa tchimo lako, ndipo ndikuveka zovala zokongola.”
5 Ndipo ine ndinati, “Muvekeni nduwira yopatulika pamutu pake.” Choncho anamuveka nduwira yopatulika pamutu pake, namuvekanso zovala zatsopano. Nthawiyi nʼkuti mngelo wa Yehova atayima pambali.
6 Mngelo wa Yehova analimbikitsa Yoswa kuti, 7 “Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti, ‘Ngati uyenda mʼnjira zanga ndi kusunga malamulo anga, pamenepo udzalamulira nyumba yanga ndi kuyangʼanira mabwalo anga, ndipo ndidzakulolani kuti mudzakhale pamodzi ndi amene ali panowa.
8 “ ‘Mvera tsono, iwe Yoswa mkulu wa ansembe, pamodzi ndi anzako amene wakhala nawowa, amene ndi chizindikiro cha zinthu zimene zikubwera: Ine ndidzabweretsa mtumiki wanga, wotchedwa Nthambi. 9 Taona, mwala wokongola umene ndayika patsogolo pa Yoswa! Pa mwala umenewu pali maso asanu ndi awiri, ndipo Ine ndidzalembapo mawu,’ akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, ‘ndipo ndidzachotsa tchimo la dziko lino tsiku limodzi.
10 “ ‘Tsiku limenelo aliyense adzayitana mnzake kuti akhale pansi pa mtengo wamphesa ndi wa mkuyu,’ akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.”
4 Pakuti Mulungu sanalekerere angelo atachimwa paja, koma anawaponya mʼndende, nawayika mʼmaenje amdima, kuwasunga kuti adzaweruzidwe. 5 Iye sanalekerere dziko lapansi kalelo, koma anapulumutsa Nowa, mlaliki wa chilungamo, ndi anthu ena asanu ndi awiri atadzetsa chigumula pa dziko lapansi kwa anthu akhalidwe losapembedza Mulunguyo. 6 Mulungu anaweruza mizinda ya Sodomu ndi Gomora nayiwononga ndi moto, kuti ikhale chitsanzo cha zimene zidzachitikira anthu osapembedza Mulungu. 7 Koma Iye anapulumutsa Loti, munthu wolungama, amene ankavutika ndi khalidwe lonyansa la anthu oyipa. 8 (Pakuti munthu wolungamayo, pokhala pakati pawo tsiku ndi tsiku ankavutika mu mtima ndi makhalidwe awo oyipa amene ankawaona ndi kuwamva). 9 Tsono mutha kuona kuti Ambuye amadziwa kuwapulumutsa kwake pa mayesero anthu opembedza. Amadziwanso kusunga osalungama kuti alangidwe mpaka tsiku la chiweruzo. 10 Makamaka amene amatsata zilakolako zonyansa zathupi nanyoza ulamuliro.
Anthu amenewa ndi odzikuza, ndipo otsata chifuniro cha iwo eni, sasamala za munthu, saopa kuchitira chipongwe zolengedwa za mmwamba. 11 Komatu ngakhale angelo, amene ali akulu ndi amphamvu kuwaposa, sayankhula za chipongwe pobweretsa chiweruzo pa iwo kuchokera kwa Ambuye. 12 Koma anthu awa amachita chipongwe zinthu zimene sakuzidziwa. Ali ngati zirombo zopanda nzeru. Zirombo zolengedwa kuti zigwidwe ndi kuwonongedwa, ndipo ngati zirombozo adzawonongedwa.
13 Iwo adzalangidwa chifukwa cha zoyipa zimene anachita. Koma chimene chimawakomera ndi kumangochita zokondweretsa thupi masanasana. Iwo ali ngati mawanga ndi zilema. Podya nanu pamodzi amakondwera kuchita za chinyengo. 14 Ndi maso awo odzaza ndi chigololo, salekeza kuchimwa. Amanyengerera anthu osakhazikika. Iwo ndi akatswiri pa dyera ndi chuma, ndipo ndi ana otembereredwa! 15 Iwo anasiya njira yolungama ndipo anapatuka kutsata njira ya Baalamu mwana wa Beori, amene anakonda malipiro a chosalungama. 16 Koma anadzudzulidwa chifukwa cha kulakwa kwakeko. Bulu, nyama imene siyankhula, inayankhula ngati munthu kuletsa misala ya mneneriyo.
17 Anthu amenewa ali ngati akasupe wopanda madzi, ndiponso ngati nkhungu yowuluzidwa ndi mphepo yamkuntho. Mulungu wawasungira mdima wandiweyani. 18 Pakuti anayankhula mawu opanda pake ndi onyada, ndipo ndi zilakolako zoyipa za thupi amanyenga anthu amene angopulumuka kumene pakati pa anzawo oyipa. 19 Amawalonjeza ufulu, pomwe iwo eni ndi akapolo a zizolowezi zowononga. Pajatu munthu amakhala kapolo wa chilichonse chimene chikumulamulira. 20 Ngati anapulumuka ku zodetsa za dziko lapansi podziwa Ambuye ndi Mpulumutsi wathu Yesu Khristu, pambuyo pake nagwidwanso ndi kugonjetsedwa ndi zomwezo, potsiriza adzakhala oyipa kuposa mmene analili poyamba. 21 Kukanakhala bwino akanapanda kudziwa njira ya chilungamo, koposa ndi kuyileka atadziwa lamulo loyera limene Mulungu anawapatsa.
