Nyengo ya Chinthu Chilichonse
Chilichonse chili ndi nyengo yake, kubadwa ndi kufa, nkhondo ndi mtendere, ndipo palibe amene angamvetse zonse zimene Mulungu wachita, ngakhale anaika muyaya m'mitima ya anthu. Chinyengo chakhala pamene payenera kukhala chilungamo. Anthu ndi nyama zimapuma mpweya umodzi ndipo zimagawana manda amodzi.
3 1Pakuti chinthu chilichonse chili ndi nyengo yake, ndipo pali nthawi ya chochitika chilichonse pansi pa thambo: 2nthawi yobadwa, ndi nthawi yofa; nthawi yodzala, ndi nthawi yozula chimene chadzalidwa; 3nthawi yopha, ndi nthawi yochiritsa; nthawi yogwetsa, ndi nthawi yomanga; 4nthawi yolira, ndi nthawi yoseka; nthawi yolira maliro, ndi nthawi yovina; 5nthawi yotaya miyala, ndi nthawi yosonkhanitsa miyala pamodzi; nthawi yokumbatira, ndi nthawi yopewa kukumbatira; 6nthawi yofunafuna, ndi nthawi yotaya; nthawi yosunga, ndi nthawi yoponya; 7nthawi yong'amba, ndi nthawi yosoka; nthawi yokhala chete, ndi nthawi yoyankhula; 8nthawi yokonda, ndi nthawi yodana; nthawi ya nkhondo, ndi nthawi ya mtendere.
9Kodi wantchito apindulanji pa ntchito yake yolemetsa? 10Ndaona ntchito imene Mulungu anapatsa anthu kuti azitanganidwa nayo. 11Iye anapanga chinthu chilichonse kukhala chokongola pa nthawi yake, ndipo anayika muyaya mu mtima wa munthu—komabe palibe amene angazindikire chimene Mulungu wachita kuyambira pachiyambi mpaka pamapeto. 12Ndikudziwa kuti palibe chabwino kwa iwo koposa kusangalala ndi moyo ndi kuchita zabwino masiku onse a moyo wawo. 13Komanso kuti munthu aliyense adye, amwe, ndi kupeza chikhutitso mu ntchito yake yonse—ichi ndiye mphatso ya Mulungu. 14Ndikudziwa kuti chilichonse chimene Mulungu amachita chimakhala mpaka muyaya; palibe chowonjezera, palibe chochotsa. Iye wachita zimenezi kuti anthu aziopa pamaso pake. 15Chimene chilipo chinalipo kale, ndipo chimene chidzakhalapo chinalipo kale; ndipo Mulungu amafunafuna chimene chinapita.
Kuipa Pamalo pa Chiweruzo
16Ndinaonanso pansi pa dzuwa: choipa pamalo pa chiweruzo, ndi choipa pamalo pa chilungamo. 17Ndinati mu mtima mwanga: “Mulungu adzaweruza olungama ndi oipa, pakuti pali nthawi ya chochitika chilichonse ndi ntchito iliyonse, kumeneko.” 18Ndinati mu mtima mwanga: “Mulungu amayesa anthu, kuti aone kuti iwo ali ngati nyama zokha.” 19Anthu ndi nyama zili ndi tsogolo limodzi: uyu amafa monga momwe winayo amafera; onsewa ali ndi mpweya umodzi. Munthu alibe choposa nyama—zonse ndi nthunzi chabe. 20Zonse zimapita kumalo kumodzi; zonse zinachokera ku fumbi, ndipo zonse zimabwerera ku fumbi. 21Ndani angadziwe ngati mzimu wa munthu umakwera kumwamba, ndi ngati mzimu wa nyama umatsikira pansi pa dziko? 22Choncho ndinaona kuti palibe chabwino koposa munthu kusangalala mu ntchito yake, pakuti ichi ndiye gawo lake. Pakuti ndani angamusonyeze chimene chidzachitika iye akadzapita?
