Mankhadzi Wakusoca wa Baba
Mphaka ya Baba wathu na nkazi wakukhonda kukhulupirika, wakuimira Izarayeli: mpfuleni, fungani njira yace, bwezani mbewu na ubweya zidaona iye kuti zabuluka kuna anyakumfuna. Buluka penepo mafala anacinjika mwakukwana. Iye anadzantsogolera ku cipululu, mbalonga na ntima wace, mbamanga naye ukwati pontho.
2 1Pangani abale anu kuti: “Mbumba Yanga,” na alongo anu kuti: “Wakupaswa Ntsisi.” 2Dandaulani mai wanu, dandaulani—thangwi iye si nkazi wanga tayu, pontho Ine sine mamuna wace tayu— toera iye abuluse ulukwali wace pa nkhope yace, na kukhonda kukhulupirika kwace pakati pa mabele ace, 3peno ndinambvula nguwo zace, mbandin'siya wakukhonda kubvala ninga pa ntsiku idabalwa iye; ndinancita ninga nthando, mbandin'sandusa dziko yakuuma, mbandin'siya afe na nyota. 4Anace nee ndinaapangiza ntsisi tayu, thangwi iwo ndi ana a ulukwali. 5Mai wawo acita ulukwali; ule adaatakula acita pyakunyadzisa. Iye alonga kuti: “Ndinatowera anyakundifuna anga, ale anandipasa nkate wanga na madzi anga, ubvdo wanga na lino yanga, mafuta anga na cakumwa canga.”
6Natenepa Ine ndiri cifupi na kutseka njira yace na minga; ndinanzungulira na mpanda toera akhonde kugumana njira zace. 7Iye anatowera anyakunfuna ace mbwenye nkhabe kuaphata; anaasaka mbwenye nkhabe kuagumana. Penepo iye anadzalonga kuti: “Ndinabwerera kuna mamuna wanga wakutoma, thangwi n'dzidzi ule pikhali pyadidi kwa ine kupita cincino.” 8Iye nee adadzindikira kuti akhali Ine adampasa tirigu, vinyu ipsa, na mafuta, Ine adampasa parata na ouro mwakudzala kuna iye—pidaphatisira iwo kuna Bhaali. a a v8 Kucinja mpaka ku ‘iwo’ kusapangiza Cihebheri—mbumba ya Izarayeli yatambira miyoni idapaswa iye mbaiphatisira toera kutumikira Bhaali.
9Natenepa Ine ndinakwata pontho tirigu wanga ungakola na vinyu yanga ipsa mu n'dzidzi wace; ndinakwata pontho ubvdo wanga na lino yanga, pidapaswa toera kuphimbira kukhonda kubvala kwace. 10Cincino Ine ndinapangiza manyadzo ace pamaso pa anyakunfuna ace, nkhabe munthu anankwanisa kunpulumusa m'manja mwanga. 11Ine ndinamalisa kutsandzaya kwace konsene—maphwando ace, Miyezi Yace Mipsa, masabudu ace, na maphwando ace onsene akukhazikiswa. 12Ine ndinafudza mitsangwa yace na miti yace ya makuyu, ya idalonga iye kuti: “Pyenepi ndi malipo anga adandipasa anyakunfuna anga.” Ndinapicitisa kukhala thenje, pontho pinyama pyakuthando pinadya pyenepi. 13Ine ndinantonga thangwi ya ntsiku zidapisa iye ntsembe kuna aBhaali, pidabvala iye maphete na pyakubalalisa mbatowera anyakunfuna ace— mbwenye Ine andiyebwa, alonga Baba wathu.
14“Natenepa, onani, Ine ndinankwewera pontho kuna Ine: ndinantsogolera kuenda ku nthando mbandilonga mafala akufewa kuna ntima wace. 15Penepo ndinambwezera minda yace ya mauva, mbandicita Dambo ya Akhori kukhala nsuwo wa cidikhiro. Penepo iye anatawira ninga mu ntsiku za uphale wace, ninga pa ntsiku idabuluka iye ku Edjitu.” b b v15 Dambo ya Akhori isabveka “nyatwa”—mbuto ya kuluza kwakale, kudasandusa Baba wathu kukhala nsuwo wene wakupita mu cidikhiro na kuwangiswa pontho.
16Pa ntsiku ineyo, alonga Baba wathu, iwe unandicemera “mamuna wanga,” nee unandicemera pontho “Bhaali wanga.” c c v16 Cifuno ca Baba wathu ndi kukhala pafupi, tayu kutonga—kucemerwa “mamuna wanga,” tayu “mbuyanga.” “Bhaali” ikhali fala ya ntsiku zonsene ya “mbuya” pontho dzina ya mulungu wauthambi udatowera Izarayeli; Iye nee anadzagawana pontho ntima wace na iwo. 17Ine ndinabulusa madzina a aBhaali n'kanwa mwace; nkhabe kudzacemerwa pontho na madzina awo. 18Pa ntsiku ineyo Ine ndinacita cibverano thangwi ya iwo na pinyama pyakuthando, mbalame za m'mwamba, na pyakulengwa pyonsene pinafamba pa nthaka; ndinabulusa uta na supada na nkhondo m'dziko, toera pyonsene pigone mwa ntendere. 19Ine ndinakumanga kukhala wanga kwenda na kwenda; ndinakumanga kukhala wanga mu kulungama na ciyeruziro, mu kufuna kwa cibverano na ntsisi. 20Ine ndinakumanga kukhala wanga mu kukhulupirika, mbunadziwa Baba wako.
21Pa ntsiku ineyo Ine ndinatawira, alonga Baba wathu—ndinatawira kudzulu, mbidzatawira dziko yapantsi; 22Pontho dziko yapantsi inadzatawira tirigu, vinyu ipsa, na mafuta, mbipyo pinadzatawira Yezireeli. d d v22 Yezireeli isabveka “Mulungu asabzwala.” Dzina ikhapangiza kale kumwazika na kutonga, cincino yasanduka pikiro—Baba wathu mbabzwala mbumba yace pontho m'dziko ninga ya Iye. 23Ine ndinambzwala thangwi ya Ine m'dziko. Ndinapangiza ntsisi kuna “Wakukhonda Ntsisi,” mbandipanga “Si Mbumba Yanga,” kuti: “Imwe ndimwe ana anga”; mbiro pinalonga kuti: “Imwe ndimwe Baba wanga.” e e v23 Kucinjana kwamala kwene: ale akhacemerwa kale “Si Mbumba Yanga” cincino ndi ana ace, mbamuntawira si ninga mulungu wakutali tayu mbwenye ninga Baba—uxamwali ule udakhafuna kuufikira bukhu yonsene.
