Yoyamba ya Petulo 2:1-25
2 Tetyo muleke kuchita vinthu vonse viipa, vachinyengo, njilu komasoti tonjo ya ntundu uliwonse.
2 Koma monga ŵana avyalika kwalombapano, mukofunishisha ngako nkaka wosasambulula wamene uli m’Mawu a Mulungu. Keno mukumwa nkaka wamene uyo, ukuyavyeni kuti mukule nonkhala oyenelela kupulumushiwa.
3 Vamene ivi vingakwanishike keno mungayese nowona kuti Ambuye ni aweme ntima.
4 Pamuyembekezela kuwela kwa Ambuye, amene ni mwala wamoyo wechikana ŵanthu, koma wechisankha Mulungu wamenesoti ni wantengo wapatali kwa Mulungu wamene uyo,
5 mwewosoti monga myala ya moyo mumangiwa nonkhala ng’anda yauzimu kuti muzankhale ansembe atuŵa. Monga ansembe atuŵa, muzapeleke nsembe zauzimu zovomejewa pamenso pa Mulungu kupitila mwa Yesu Khilisitu.
6 Pala Lemba yunena kuti: “Newo nuika mwala wosankhiwa mwapadela mu Ziyoni. Wamene uyu ni mwala wapakona ya fandeshoni, wamene ni wantengo wapatali, ndipo aliyense wokhulupilila mwala wamene uyo azakalipelini.”*
7 Tetyo yove ni wantengo wapatali kuli mwewo chifukwa mumukhulupilila. Koma kuli amene omukhulupililalini, “mwala wechikana omanga ng’anda, wankhala mwala wapakona wofunika ngako.”
8 Wankhalasoti “mwala wosokoneza na mwala wokhubulwisha.” Ŵanthu amene aŵa osokonezeka chifukwa omvwilalini mawu, ndipo vamene ivi niye vufunika kuŵachitikila.
9 Koma mwewo nimwe “ŵanthu osankhiwa mwapadela, ansembe achifumu, ntundu utuŵa komasoti ŵanthu akuti azankhale chuma chapadela. Mwasankhiwa kuti mulengeze minkhalidwe iweme ngako” ya Mulungu wamene ekuitani kuti mufume mu mfinzi ndipo ekulondelani mu kungweleŵela kwake kodabwisa.
10 Poyamba mwenzelini ŵanthu a Mulungu, koma lomba nimwe ŵanthu ŵake. Mulungu enze akaliye kuchitilani chifundo, koma lomba wakuchitilani chifundo.
11 Akwasu apantima, pakuti nimwe alwendo komasoti ŵanthu osankhalisha muli ichi chalo, nukudandaulilani kuti mukopewa kukumbwila vinthu viipa vamene vili pa nkhondo yolimbana na mwewo.
12 Munkhale na nkhalidwe iweme pakati pa ŵanthu a muli ichi chalo, kuti pakukuyopejelani polaŵila kuti muchita vinthu viipa, akowona ŵeka vochita vanu viweme kuti pavuli pake azatamande Mulungu pa nsiku yake yoyendela.
13 Mukochita vakufuna Ambuye pogonjela ulamulilo uliwonse uliikiwe na ŵanthu. Mukogonjela mfumu chifukwa ili na udindo ukulu,
14 komasoti nduna chifukwa zutumiwa na mfumu yamene iyo kuti zikopeleka chilango kuli ŵanthu achita viipa komasoti kutembeja ŵala achita viweme.
15 Mulungu ofuna kuti mukochita viweme kuti mukolesha ŵanthu amene olaŵila vinthu mosoŵa nzelu chifukwa chosaziŵa.
16 Muli na ufulu, koma osati mukokatishila ntchito ufulu wamene uyo monga pofisamila pochita viipa, koma mukoukatishila ntchito potumikila Mulungu.
17 Mukolemekeza ŵanthu amitundu yonse. Mukokonda gulu yonse ya akwasu, mukoyopa Mulungu komasoti mukolemekeza mfumu.
18 Antchito akogonjela mabwana ŵawo ndipo akoŵalemekeza ngako. Osati akochita vamene ivi kuli mabwana aweme na ololela ŵeka, koma olosoti kuli ovuta kuŵakondwelesha.
19 Keno munthu opilila pakutamanishiwa komasoti pakukumana na mavuto* chifukwa chomvwila* Mulungu, Mulungu wamene uyo okondwela naye.
20 Kansi kupilila pamuniyatiwa chifukwa chakuti mwachimwa kuli na pindu yanji? Koma Mulungu osangalala keno mupilila mavuto chifukwa chakuti muchita viweme.
21 Ndipo Mulungu ekuitani kuti muyende mu njila yamene iyi. Pala olo Khilisitu naye evutika chifukwa cha mwewo, ndipo ekusiilani chisanzo kuti mukonkheje mendo ŵake mosamala ngako.
22 Yove aliyechite chimo ndipo aliye laŵileko mawu achinyengo.
23 Ŵanthu penzemulaŵilila mawu aipa, yove aliye ŵawejelesoti aipa. Penzemutamanisha yove aliye yofye ŵanthu amene awo enzemutamanisha. Koma esiya vonse mmanja mwa Woweluza wamene oweluza mwachilungamo.
24 Yove enyamula machimo ŵasu mmuŵili mwake pechimukhomelela pachimuti. Echita vamene ivi kuti tipulumushiwe ku uchimo nochita vinthu volungama. Ndipo “mwipojekewa na vilonda vake.”
25 Poyamba mwenze monga ni mbelele zoluŵila, koma lomba mwajokela kuli chiŵeta wanu komasoti wololela miyoyo yanu.
