Atate Sapeza Kukhulupirika
Fufuzani mu Yerusalemu munthu mmodzi woona mtima, Atate wathu akutero, ndipo mzindawo udzasungidwa. Palibe amene akupezeka — osati pakati pa osauka, osati pakati pa atsogoleri. Aneneri akunama, ansembe akulamulira mwa iwo okha, ndipo anthu akukonda zimenezo. Mutuwu ukutha ndi funso losiyidwa lotseguka.
5 1“Yendayendani m'misewu ya Yerusalemu, penyani tsopano ndipo zindikirani! Funafunani m'mabwalo ake—ngati mungapeze munthu mmodzi, mmodzi amene amachita chilungamo ndi kufunafuna choonadi, pamenepo ndidzakhululukira mzindawo. 2Ngakhale pamene anena kuti, ‘Pali Atate wathu wamoyo,’ akulumbira monama.”
3Atate wathu, kodi maso anu safunafuna kukhulupirika? Munawakantha, koma sanamve kupweteka; munawawononga, koma anakana kulandira chilango. Anawumitsa nkhope zawo kuposa thanthwe; anakana kubwerera. 4Pamenepo ndinati, “Awa ndi osauka okha; ndi opusa, pakuti sadziwa njira ya Atate wathu, njira zolungama za Atate wawo.” 5“Ndidzapita kwa akuluakulu ndi kuyankhula nawo, pakuti ndithu adziwa njira ya Atate wathu, njira zolungama za Atate wawo.” Koma iwonso, onse pamodzi, anathyola goli; anadula zomangira. 6Chifukwa chake mkango wochokera m'nkhalango udzawakantha, mmbulu wa m'chipululu udzawononga iwo. Kambuku wagona akuyang'anitsitsa mizinda yawo; aliyense wotuluka m'menemo adzang'ambika— pakuti kuwukira kwawo nkochuluka, kubwerera kwawo m'mbuyo nkopanda chiwerengero.
7“Nchifukwa chiyani ndikukhululukireni? Ana anu andisiya Ine ndipo analumbira pa milungu imene si milungu. Ndinawakhutitsa, komabe anachita chigololo ndipo anathamangira ku nyumba za akazi achiwerewere. 8Anali ngati akavalo onenepa, odzaza chilakolako, aliyense akulirira mkazi wa mnansi wake. 9Kodi sindingawalange chifukwa cha zinthu izi? ati Atate wathu. Kodi sindingabwezere chilungamo pa mtundu wotere? 10Kwerani m'mizere ya mphesa zake ndi kuwononga, koma musawononge kotheratu; chotsani nthambi zake, pakuti si za Atate wathu. 11Pakuti nyumba ya Israeli ndi nyumba ya Yuda zandichitira zachinyengo kwambiri, ati Atate wathu.”
12Anena zabodza za Atate wathu; anati, “Iye sadzachita kanthu! Palibe tsoka lidzadza pa ife; sitidzaona lupanga kapena njala.” 13Aneneri ndi mphepo chabe; mau sali mwa iwo. Choncho zichitike kwa iwo!
14Chifukwa chake atero Atate wa makamu akumwamba: Chifukwa mwayankhula mau awa, mau anga m'kamwa mwako ndikuwasandutsa moto, ndipo anthu awa nkhuni, ndipo udzawapsereza. 15Taonani, ndikubweretsa pa inu mtundu wochokera kutali, inu nyumba ya Israeli, ati Atate wathu—mtundu wokhazikika, mtundu wakalekale, mtundu umene chinenero chake simuchidziwa, amene mawu ake simungawamvetse. 16“Chikwama chawo cha mivi chili ngati manda otseguka; onse ndi ankhondo amphamvu. 17Adzadya zokolola zanu ndi chakudya chanu; adzadya ana anu aamuna ndi ana anu aakazi; adzadya ziweto zanu ndi ng'ombe zanu; adzadya mphesa zanu ndi mitengo yanu ya mkuyu. Ndi lupanga adzagwetsa mizinda yanu yotetezedwa imene mumaikhulupirira.”
18Komabe ngakhale masiku amenewo, ati Atate wathu, sindidzakuwonongani kotheratu. 19Pamene adzafunsa kuti, “Nchifukwa chiyani Atate wathu watichitira zonsezi?” udzawawuze kuti: “Monga munandisiya Ine ndi kutumikira milungu yachilendo m'dziko lanu, momwemonso mudzatumikira alendo m'dziko losati lanu.”
20“Lengezani izi m'nyumba ya Yakobo; lalikani m'Yuda: 21Imvani izi, inu anthu opusa ndi opanda nzeru, amene muli ndi maso koma simuona, amene muli ndi makutu koma simumva:” 22Kodi simuopa Ine? ati Atate wathu. Kodi simunjenjemera pamaso panga? Ndinaika mchenga kukhala malire a nyanja, lamulo losatha limene singadutse. Ngakhale mafunde akudzuka, singapambane; ngakhale akuwuma, singathe kuwoloka malirewo. 23Koma anthu awa ali ndi mtima wowuma ndi wowukira; apatuka ndipo apita njira yawo. 24Sanena mu mitima yawo kuti, “Tiyeni tiope Atate wathu, amene amapereka mvula—mvula yoyamba ndi yotsiriza pa nyengo yake—amene amatisungira masabata oikika a kokolola.” 25“Zolakwa zanu zathamangitsa madalitso awa, ndipo machimo anu akuletsani zabwino. 26Pakuti pakati pa anthu anga apezeka anthu oyipa; amabisala ngati ozenga mbalame odikirira; amatchera msampha, ndipo amagwira anthu. 27Monga khola lodzaza mbalame, nyumba zawo zadzaza chinyengo; chifukwa chake akula ndi kulemera. 28Anenepa ndi kunyezimira; asefukira ndi ntchito zoyipa. Sateteza mlandu wa ana amasiye, kuti apindule, ndipo ufulu wa osowa sawuteteza.” 29Kodi sindingawalange chifukwa cha zinthu izi? ati Atate wathu. Kodi sindingabwezere chilungamo pa mtundu wotere? 30“Chinthu chochititsa mantha ndi chonyansa chachitika m'dziko: 31aneneri aneneza zabodza, ndipo ansembe alamulira ndi ulamuliro wawowawo; ndipo anthu anga akonda zimenezi. Koma mudzatani pamene chimaliziro chidzafika?”
