Sunga Nzeru Pafupi
Bambo amene ankapenya pawindo lake akufotokoza zimene anaona. Mnyamata wopanda nzeru akuyenda kulowera ku nyumba inayake madzulo, ndipo akukumana ndi mkazi amene wakonzeratu zolinga zake ndipo akudziwa kuti mwamuna wake palibe. Mnyamatayo akumutsatira ngati ng'ombe yopita kokaphedwa.
7 1Mwana wanga, sunga mau anga, ndipo usunge malamulo anga mkati mwako.
2Sunga malamulo anga ndipo ukhale ndi moyo; samala chiphunzitso changa ngati mwana wa diso lako. 3Uwamangirire pa zala zako; uwalembe pa gome la mtima wako.
4Uwuze nzeru kuti, “Ndiwe mlongo wanga,” ndipo utchule kumvetsa kuti bwenzi lako lapamtima, 5kuti zikuteteze kwa mkazi woletsedwa, kwa mkazi wachilendo wokhala ndi mau ake osalala.
6Pakuti pa zenera la nyumba yanga ndinasuzumira pansi kudzera pa chotchinga changa, 7ndipo ndinaona pakati pa anthu opusa, ndinazindikira pakati pa anyamata, mnyamata wopanda nzeru, 8akudutsa mumsewu pafupi ndi ngodya yake, akulowera ku njira ya ku nyumba yake, 9nthawi ya chisisira, pamene kunkada, mu mdima wa usiku ndi mdima wandiweyani.
10Ndipo onani, mkazi anabwera kudzakumana naye, atavala ngati hule, ali ndi chinyengo mu mtima mwake. 11Iye ndi waphokoso ndi wosamva; mapazi ake sakhala pa nyumba. 12Nthawi ina mumsewu, nthawi ina m'mabwalo, amabisalira pa ngodya iliyonse. 13Anamgwira namupsompsona iye, ndipo ndi nkhope yopanda manyazi anati kwa iye:
14“Ndinali ndi nsembe zachiyanjano zoti ndipereke; lero ndakwaniritsa malumbiro anga. a a v14 Nsembe yachiyanjano inkagawidwa ngati phwando — iye akutanthauza kuti ali ndi chakudya chokonzeka ndi chifukwa chokondwerera pa nyumba. 15Choncho ndinatuluka kudzakumana ndi iwe, kukufunafuna mwachidwi, ndipo ndakupeza. 16Ndayala bedi langa ndi zofunda, ndi nsalu zamitundumitundu zochokera ku Igupto. 17Ndafukiza bedi langa ndi mure, ndi aloe, ndi sinamoni. 18Bwera, timwe chikondi mokwanira mpaka m'mawa; tidzisangalatse ndi chikondi. 19Pakuti mwamuna wanga kulibe pa nyumba; wapita ulendo wautali. 20Anatenga thumba la ndalama pamodzi naye, ndipo sadzabwera kunyumba mpaka mwezi utakhala wathunthu.”
21Ndi mau ake onse okopa anamkopa; ndi milomo yake yosalala anamkoka. 22Nthawi yomweyo anamutsata, ngati ng'ombe yopita kukaphedwa, ngati mbawala yoponda mu msampha, 23mpaka muvi utaboola chiwindi chake; ngati mbalame yothamangira mu msampha, osadziwa kuti zidzam'landa moyo wake.
24Tsopano, ana anga, imverani ine, ndipo tcherani khutu ku mau anga. 25Musalole mtima wanu kupatukira ku njira zake; musasochere mu mabande ake. 26Pakuti wagwetsa anthu ambiri; ophedwa ake ndi gulu lalikulu. 27Nyumba yake ndi njira yopita ku manda, yotsikira ku zipinda za imfa.
