Chifukwa Chake Wamphamvuzonse Sakhazikitsa Nthawi
Yobu afunsa chifukwa chake Wamphamvuzonse sasunga kalendala ya chiweruzo. Atchula zinthu zosayankhidwa: miyala ya malire yosunthidwa, ng'ombe ya mkazi wamasiye yolandidwa, osauka akugona maliseche mumvula ya kumapiri, akupha ndi akuba akugwira ntchito mumdima, pamene omwalira akubuula ndipo Mulungu sapalamula aliyense.
24 1“Chifukwa chiyani Wamphamvuzonse sapatula nthawi za chiweruzo? Chifukwa chiyani iwo amene amamdziwa saona masiku ake? 2Oyipa amasuntha miyala ya malire; amalanda ziweto naziweta ngati zawozawo. 3Amathamangitsa bulu wa mwana wamasiye; amatenga ng'ombe ya mkazi wamasiye ngati chikole. 4Amakankhira osowa kunja kwa njira, kuti osauka a m'dziko akakamizidwe kubisala. 5Taonani—ngati abulu akuthengo m'chipululu, osauka amapita kuntchito yawo, kufunafuna chakudya; dziko louma limapereka chakudya cha ana awo. 6Amakolola chakudya cha ziweto m'minda osati yawo, nakhwakhwaza munda wampesa wa oyipa. 7Amagona usiku ali maliseche, opanda chovala, opanda chofunda cha kuzizira. 8Amanyowa ndi mvula ya m'mapiri, namatsamira pa thanthwe chifukwa chosowa pothawira. 9Mwana wamasiye amamulanda pa bere, ndipo khanda la osauka amalitenga ngati chikole. 10Amayendayenda ali maliseche, opanda chovala; ali ndi njala, amanyamula mitolo. 11Pakati pa minda ya maolivi amapsinya mafuta; amaponda mopsinyira vinyo, komabe ali ndi ludzu. 12Mu mzinda ofa amabuula, ndipo makosi a ovulala amafuula kupempha thandizo—komabe Mulungu saimba mlandu munthu aliyense pa choyipa.
13“Pali amene amawukira kuwala; sadziwa njira zake kapena kukhalabe m'mabande ake. 14Kucha, wakupha amadzuka kupha osauka ndi osowa, ndipo usiku amayendayenda ngati mbava. 15Diso la wachigololo limadikira kuti kuzime, akuganiza, ‘Palibe diso lidzandione,’ ndipo amabisa nkhope yake. 16Mu mdima amathyola nyumba; masana amadzitsekera m'kati, pakuti safuna kudziwana ndi kuwala. 17Pakuti mdima wandiweyani ndiwo m'mawa kwa iwo onse; amazolowerana ndi zoopsa za mdima.
18“Komabe inu mumati ndi ofulumira pamwamba pa madzi; gawo lawo la dziko ndi lotembereredwa, ndipo palibe amene amatembenukira ku minda yawo ya mpesa. 19Monga chilala ndi kutentha zimatenga matalala osungunuka, momwemonso manda amalanda iwo amene achimwa. 20Mimba imene inawabala imaiwala iwo; mphutsi zimawadya mokondwera; sakumbukiridwanso, ndipo kuyipa kumaphwanyidwa ngati mtengo. 21Amazunza mkazi wosabereka amene sabala mwana, ndipo saonetsa kukoma mtima kwa mkazi wamasiye.
22“Komabe ndi mphamvu zake Mulungu amakokera kutali amphamvu; Iye amadzuka, ndipo palibe amene amatsimikiza za moyo wake. 23Mulungu amawalola kupuma mu chitetezo, ndipo amatsamira pa icho, koma maso ake ali pa njira zawo. 24Amakwezedwa kwa kanthawi kochepa, kenako apita; amatsitsidwa natoleledwa ngati ena onse, nadulidwa ngati ngala za tirigu. 25Ngati sizili choncho, ndani angatsimikizire kuti ndine wabodza, nasandutsa mawu anga kukhala achabechabe?”
