Chirombo Chotuluka M'nyanja
Chilombo chituluka m'nyanja chili ndi mpando wachifumu wa chinjokacho, chinyoza Atate athu pamene dziko lonse lapansi likuchichita chidwi chifukwa cha bala lake lochiritsidwa. Chilombo chachiwiri chipangitsa fano kulankhula, chipha amene sachilambira, ndipo chilamulira amene angagule kapena kugulitsa. Kukhulupirika pano kutanthauza kupirira, osati kupulumutsidwa.
13 1Chinjoka chinaimirira pa mchenga wa m'nyanja. Ndipo ndinaona chirombo chikutuluka m'nyanja, chinali ndi nyanga khumi ndi mitu isanu ndi iwiri, ndi zisoti za ufumu khumi pa nyanga zake, ndi mayina onyoza Mulungu pa mitu yake. 2Chirombo chimene ndinachiona chinali ngati kambuku, mapazi ake ngati a chimbalangondo, pakamwa pake ngati pa mkango. Ndipo chinjoka chinachipatsa mphamvu yake, mpando wake wachifumu, ndi ulamuliro waukulu. 3Mutu umodzi wa mitu yake unaoneka ngati wavulazidwa koopsa, koma chilonda chake chinapola. Ndipo dziko lonse lapansi linadabwa, nalitsatira chirombocho. 4Anapembedza chinjoka chifukwa chinapereka ulamuliro wake kwa chirombo, nalambiranso chirombo, nati, “Ndani ali ngati chirombo? Ndani angathe kumenyana nacho?”
5Chirombo chinapatsidwa pakamwa pakuyankhula zodzitamandira ndi zonyoza Mulungu, ndipo chinapatsidwa ulamuliro wochita zimenezi kwa miyezi makumi anayi ndi iwiri. 6Chinatsekula pakamwa pake kunyoza Atate wathu—kunyoza dzina lake ndi malo ake okhala, ndi iwo amene amakhala Kumwamba. 7Chinapatsidwa mphamvu yochita nkhondo ndi oyera mtima ndi kuwagonjetsa, ndipo chinapatsidwa ulamuliro pa fuko lililonse, mtundu uliwonse, chiyankhulo chilichonse, ndi mtundu wa anthu uliwonse. 8Onse okhala pa dziko lapansi adzachilambira, koma osati iwo amene mayina awo analembedwa m'buku la moyo la Mwanawankhosa, dziko lisanakhazikitsidwe—Mwanawankhosa amene anaphedwa. 9Ngati munthu ali ndi khutu, amve. 10Ngati munthu woyenera kutengedwa ukapolo, apita ku ukapolo; ngati munthu woyenera kuphedwa ndi lupanga, ayenera kuphedwa ndi lupanga. Apa pali kupirira ndi chikhulupiriro cha oyera mtima.
