Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)
Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Salimo la Davide.
20 Yehova akuyankhe pamene uli pa msautso;
dzina la Mulungu wa Yakobo likuteteze.
2 Iye atumize thandizo kuchokera ku malo ake opatulika;
akugwirizize kuchokera ku Ziyoni.
3 Iye akumbukire nsembe zako zonse
ndipo alandire nsembe zako zopsereza.
Sela
4 Akupatse chokhumba cha mtima wako
ndipo akuthandize kuti zonse wakonza zichitike.
5 Ife tidzafuwula ndi chimwemwe pamene iwe wapambana
ndipo tidzanyamula mbendera zathu mʼdzina la Mulungu wathu,
Yehova ayankhe zopempha zako zonse.
6 Tsopano ndadziwa kuti Yehova amapulumutsa wodzozedwa wake;
Iye amamuyankha kuchokera kumwamba ku malo ake opatulika
ndi mphamvu yopulumutsa ya dzanja lake lamanja.
7 Ena amadalira magaleta ndipo ena akavalo
koma ife tidzadalira dzina la Yehova Mulungu wathu.
8 Iwo amagonjetsedwa ndi kugwa,
koma ife timadzuka ndi kuyima chilili.
9 Inu Yehova, pulumutsani mfumu!
Tiyankheni pamene tikuyitanani!
5 Ku Gibiyoniko Yehova anaonekera kwa Solomoni mʼmaloto usiku, ndipo Mulungu anati, “Pempha chilichonse chimene ukufuna ndipo ndidzakupatsa.”
6 Solomoni anayankha kuti, “Inu munaonetsa kukoma mtima kwanu kwakukulu kwa kapolo wanu, abambo anga Davide, chifukwa anali wokhulupirika pamaso panu, wolungama mtima ndiponso wa mtima wangwiro. Inu mukupitirizabe kukoma mtima kwanu kwakukulu kwa iye ndipo mwamupatsa mwana kuti akhale pa mpando wake waufumu lero lino.
7 “Tsopano Inu Yehova Mulungu wanga, mtumiki wanune mwandiyika kukhala mfumu mʼmalo mwa abambo anga Davide. Komatu ndine mwana wamngʼono ndipo sindidziwa kagwiridwe kake ka ntchito yangayi. 8 Mtumiki wanu ali pakati pa anthu amene munawasankha, mtundu waukulu, anthu ochuluka kwambiri osatheka kuwawerenga. 9 Choncho mupatseni mtumiki wanu nzeru zolamulira anthu anu ndi kuti azitha kusiyanitsa pakati pa chabwino ndi choyipa. Pakuti ndani amene angathe kulamulira anthu anu ochulukawa?”
10 Ambuye anakondwera kuti Solomoni anapempha zimenezi. 11 Tsono Mulungu anati kwa Solomoni, “Popeza wapempha zinthu zimenezi osati moyo wautali kapena chuma chako kapena imfa ya adani ako koma nzeru zolamulira anthu mwachilungamo, 12 Ine ndidzakuchitira zimene wapempha. Ndidzakupatsa mtima wanzeru ndi wozindikira zinthu, kotero kuti sipanakhalepo wina wofanana nawe ndipo sipadzapezekanso wina wonga iwe pambuyo pako. 13 Kuwonjeza apo, ndidzakupatsa zimene sunazipemphe: chuma ndi ulemu, kotero kuti pa masiku onse a moyo wako sipadzakhala mfumu yofanana nawe. 14 Ndipo ngati udzayenda mʼnjira zanga ndi kumvera malamulo anga ndiponso malangizo anga monga abambo ako Davide anachitira, ndidzakupatsa moyo wautali.”
Za Umboni wa Yesu
12 Yesu atayankhulanso kwa anthu, anati, “Ine ndine kuwunika kwa dziko lapansi. Aliyense amene anditsata Ine sadzayenda mu mdima, koma adzakhala ndi kuwala kotsogolera anthu ku moyo.”
13 Afarisi anamutsutsa Iye nati, “Iwe ukudzichitira umboni wa Iwe mwini, umboni wako siwoona.”
14 Yesu anayankha kuti, “Ngakhale Ine ndidzichitire umboni, umboni wangawu ndi woona, pakuti Ine ndikudziwa kumene ndinachokera ndi kumene ndikupita. Koma inu simukudziwa ndi pangʼono pomwe kumene ndinachokera kapena kumene ndikupita. 15 Inu mumaweruza potsata maganizo a anthu chabe. Ine sindiweruza munthu wina aliyense. 16 Koma Ine ndikati ndiweruze, ndimaweruza molondola, chifukwa Ine sindili ndekha koma ndili ndi Atate amene anandituma. 17 Mʼmalamulo anu munalembedwa kuti umboni wa anthu awiri ndi wovomerezeka. 18 Ine ndikudzichitira ndekha umboni; ndipo mboni inanso ndi Atate amene anandituma.”
19 Kenaka iwo anamufunsa Iye kuti, “Kodi Atate anuwo ali kuti?”
Yesu anayankha kuti, “Inu simundidziwa Ine. Atate anganso simuwadziwa. Mukanandidziwa Ine, mukanawadziwanso Atate anga.”
