Miyambo 18:1-24
18 Wodzipatula amafunafuna zolakalaka zake zosonyeza kudzikonda.+ Iye amachita zosemphana ndi nzeru zonse zopindulitsa.+
2 Aliyense wopusa sakondwera ndi kuzindikira zinthu,+ mpaka zimene zili mumtima mwake zitaululika.+
3 Mnyozo umabwera limodzi ndi munthu woipa,+ ndipo chitonzo chimabwera limodzi ndi manyazi.+
4 Mawu a m’kamwa mwa munthu ndiwo madzi akuya.+ Chitsime cha nzeru chili ngati mtsinje wosefukira.+
5 Kukondera munthu woipa si bwino.+ Komanso si bwino kukankhira pambali munthu wolungama poweruza.+
6 Milomo ya munthu wopusa imalowa mu mkangano,+ ndipo pakamwa pake pamaitana zikwapu.+
7 Pakamwa pa munthu wopusa m’pamene pamamuwononga,+ ndipo milomo yake ndi msampha wa moyo wake.+
8 Mawu a munthu wonenera ena zoipa ali ngati zinthu zofunika kuzimeza msangamsanga,+ zimene zimatsikira mkatikati mwa mimba.+
9 Komanso waulesi pa ntchito yake+ ndiye m’bale wake wa munthu wobweretsa chiwonongeko.+
10 Dzina la Yehova ndi nsanja yolimba.+ Wolungama amathawira mmenemo ndipo amatetezedwa.+
11 Zinthu zamtengo wapatali za munthu wachuma ndizo mzinda wake wolimba,+ ndipo m’maganizo mwake zili ngati mpanda woteteza.+
12 Munthu asanagwe, mtima wake umadzikweza,+ ndipo asanapeze ulemerero, amadzichepetsa.+
13 Munthu aliyense woyankhira nkhani asanaimvetsetse n’ngopusa,+ ndipo amachita manyazi.+
14 Mtima wa munthu ukhoza kupirira matenda,+ koma mtima wosweka ndani angaupirire?+
15 Mtima wa munthu womvetsa zinthu umadziwa zinthu,+ ndipo khutu la anzeru limafunafuna kudziwa zinthu.+
16 Mphatso ya munthu imam’tsegulira khomo lalikulu,+ ndipo imakam’fikitsa ngakhale pamaso pa anthu olemekezeka.+
17 Woyamba kufotokoza mbali yake pa mlandu amaoneka ngati wolondola,+ koma mnzake amabwera n’kumufufuzafufuza.+
18 Maere amathetsa mikangano,+ ndipo amalekanitsa ngakhale anthu amphamvu.+
19 M’bale amene walakwiridwa amaposa mzinda wolimba,+ ndipo pali mikangano imene imakhala ngati mtengo wotsekera pachipata cha nsanja yokhalamo.+
20 Mimba ya munthu imakhuta zipatso za pakamwa pake.+ Iye amakhuta ngakhale zokolola za milomo yake.+
21 Imfa ndiponso moyo zili mu mphamvu ya lilime,+ ndipo wolikonda adzadya zipatso zake.+
22 Kodi munthu wapeza mkazi wabwino?+ Ndiye kuti wapeza chinthu chabwino,+ ndipo Yehova amakondwera naye.+
23 Munthu wosauka amalankhula mochonderera,+ koma munthu wolemera amayankha mwamphamvu.+
24 Pali mabwenzi amene amafuna kuthyolana,+ koma pali bwenzi limene limamatirira kuposa m’bale wako.+
