Ntchentche Zakufa mu Mafuta
Miyambi ya momwe chinthu chaching'ono chimawonongera zambiri: ntchentche zakufa m'mafuta onunkhira, akapolo pa akavalo ndi akalonga akuyenda pansi, chitsiru chimene chimadziwononga ndi pakamwa pake. Kudekha kumathetsa mkwiyo wa wolamulira; denga logwedera ndi mawu osasamala m'chipinda chogona zonse zimayamba pang'ono.
10 1Ntchentche zakufa zimanunkhitsa ndi kuwiritsa mafuta a wopanga zonunkhira; momwemonso uchitsiru pang'ono umaposa nzeru ndi ulemu. 2Mtima wa wanzeru umatsamira kudzanja lake lamanja, koma mtima wa chitsiru kudzanja lamanzere. 3Ngakhale pamene chitsiru chikuyenda m'njira, chimasowa nzeru, ndipo chimaonetsa aliyense kuti ndi chitsiru. 4Ngati mkwiyo wa wolamulira ukukuukira, usachoke pa udindo wako, pakuti kukhala chete kumathetsa zolakwa zazikulu.
5Pali choipa chimene ndachiona pansi pa dzuwa, mtundu wa cholakwika chimene chimachokera kwa wolamulira: 6uchitsiru umayikidwa pa malo apamwamba ambiri, pamene olemera amakhala pa malo otsika. 7Ndaona akapolo atakwera pa akavalo, ndipo akalonga akuyenda pansi ngati akapolo. 8Aliyense wokumba dzenje angagweremo, ndipo aliyense wobowola khoma angalumidwe ndi njoka. 9Aliyense wosema miyala angapwetekedwe nayo, ndipo aliyense wong'amba mitengo ali pa ngozi nayo. 10Ngati nkhwangwa yabuntha ndipo m'mphenga wake sunanoledwe, uyenera kugwiritsa ntchito mphamvu zambiri; koma nzeru zimabweretsa chipambano.
11Ngati njoka iluma isanalodzedwe, wolodza njoka sapindula kanthu. 12Mau a munthu wanzeru amamubweretsera chisomo, koma milomo ya chitsiru imachiwononga. 13Chiyambi cha mau ake ndi uchitsiru, ndipo mathero a kuyankhula kwake ndi misala yoipa. 14Komabe chitsiru chimangoyankhulabe. Palibe amene akudziwa chimene chikubwera, ndipo ndani angauze wina chimene chidzachitika pambuyo pake?
15Zitsiru zimadzitopetsa ndi ntchito yawo, pakuti sizidziwa ngakhale njira yopita kutawuni. 16Tsoka kwa iwe, dziko, pamene mfumu yako ili mwana ndipo akalonga ako amachita phwando m'mawa. 17Wodala iwe, dziko, pamene mfumu yako ili mwana wa olemekezeka ndipo akalonga ako amachita phwando pa nthawi yoyenera—kaamba ka mphamvu, osati kaamba ka kuledzera. 18Chifukwa cha ulesi mitanda imakhota, ndipo chifukwa cha manja aulesi nyumba imadontha. 19Buledi amapangidwa kaamba ka kuseka, ndipo vinyo amakondweretsa moyo, ndipo ndalama imayankha zonse. 20Usatemberere mfumu ngakhale m'maganizo mwako, ndipo usatemberere wolemera ngakhale m'chipinda chako chogona, pakuti mbalame ya mlengalenga ingatenge mau ako, ndipo cholengedwa cha mapiko chingafotokoze chimene unena.
