Chidindo pa Mtima
Mkazi akulakalaka akanatha kuonetsa chikondi chake poyera osanyozedwa, ndipo akupempha kuti amuike ngati chidindo pamtima pake. Chikondi n'champhamvu ngati imfa, lawi la Atate wathu limene madzi osefukira sangathe kulizimitsa ndipo ndalama zingalinyoze. Iye anasankha yekha.
8 1Haa, ukanakhala ngati m'bale wanga, amene anayamwa pa mawere a amayi anga! Ndikanakupeza panja, ndikanapsompsona iwe, ndipo palibe amene akananyoza ine. 2Ndikanakutsogolera ndi kukulowetsa m'nyumba ya amayi anga—amene anandiphunzitsa ine. Ndikanakupatsa vinyo wokometsedwa kuti umwe, madzi a makangadza anga. 3Dzanja lake lamanzere lili pansi pa mutu wanga, ndipo dzanja lake lamanja likundikumbatira. 4Ndikukupemphani, inu ana aakazi a Yerusalemu: musasonkhezere kapena kudzutsa chikondi mpaka pamene chidzafune chokha.
5Kodi uyu ndani wobwera kuchokera m'chipululu, atatsamira pa wokondedwa wake? Pansi pa mtengo wa apulosi ndinakudzutsa; pamenepo amayi ako anamva zowawa chifukwa cha iwe, pamenepo amene anakubereka anavutika.
6Undiike ngati chidindo pa mtima wako, ngati chidindo pa mkono wako; pakuti chikondi nchamphamvu ngati imfa, nsanje yake ndi yolimba ngati manda. Chimanyazimira ngati moto, lawi lenileni la Atate wathu. a a v6 Moto wa chikondi pano watchulidwa ndi dzina la Mulungu mwini—chikondi ichi chimayaka ndi lawi lenileni la Atate wathu, gwero lakuya koposa la chikondi chonse choona ndi chosazimitsika. 7Madzi ambiri sangathe kuzimitsa chikondi, ngakhale mitsinje singathe kuchikokolola. Ngati munthu akanapereka chuma chonse cha m'nyumba yake chifukwa cha chikondi, akananyozedwa kotheratu.
8Tili naye mng'ono wathu wamkazi, ndipo alibe mawere. Kodi tidzamuchitira chiyani mng'ono wathu patsiku limene adzafunsidwa? 9Ngati iye ali khoma, tidzamanga pa iye nsanja ya siliva; koma ngati iye ali chitseko, tidzamuzinga ndi matabwa a mkungudza.
10Ine ndinali khoma, ndipo mawere anga anali ngati nsanja; pamenepo pamaso pake ndinakhala ngati wopeza mtendere. 11Solomoni anali ndi munda wa mphesa ku Baala-hamoni; anawubwereketsa kwa alimi obwereka, ndipo aliyense anayenera kubweretsa ndalama za siliva 1,000 chifukwa cha zipatso zake. 12Munda wanga wa mphesa, wangadi, uli pamaso panga. Ndalama 1,000 ndi zanu, Solomoni, ndipo 200 ndi za amene amasunga zipatso zake.
13Iwe wokhala m'minda, anzanga akumvetsera liwu lako; undilole ndimve.
14Bwera msanga, wokondedwa wanga, ndipo ukhale ngati mphoyo kapena mwana wa mbawala pa mapiri a zonunkhira.
