3 pomwe iye akuwona anyamadulanthakawo akufika m’dzikolo, akuliza nyanga kuti acenjeze wanthuwo.
4 Tsono munthuyo akabva kulira kwa nyangayo acisaya kubvera mcenjezoyo, ndipo anyamadulanthakawo akabwera acimupha, mulandu wa mulopa un’dzakhala wace.
5 Iye wabva kulira kwa nyanga, koma alibe kubvera mcenjezo. Mulandu wa mulopa un’dzakhala wace. Angadabvera mcenjezoyo, iye angadapulumuka.
6 “‘Tsono penu mulindiriyo wawona anyamadulanthaka akubwera, iye ne kuliza nyanga kuti acenjeze wanthuwo, ndipo anyamadulanthakawo acibwera n’kupha m’bodzi mwa wanthuwo, munthuyo an’dzafa thangwe ra kuphonya kwace koma mulandu wa mulopa wace nin’dzasunda mulindiriyo.’
7 “Tsono iwe mwana wa munthu, inepano ndakuikha kuti ukhale mulindiri pa nyumba ya Jirayeri. Ukabva mafala yakucokera pamulomo pangu, ukawacenjeze wanthuwo.
8 Inepano ndikauza munthu wakuipa kuti: ‘Kulewa cadidi iwepo un’dzafa,’ tsono iwepo ukasaya kulewa ciri-centse kuti umucenjeze kuti acinje bzicito bzace, iye an’dzafa ninga munthu wakuipa thangwe ra kuphonya kwace, tsono mulopa wace nin’dzasunda iwepo.
9 Tsono iwepo ukacenjeza munthu wakuipayo kuti acinje bzicito bzace bzakuipa, koma iye n’kulamba kucinjako, iye an’dzafa thangwe ra kuphonya kwaceko, tsono iwepo un’dzapulumusa moyo wako.
10 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, uza nyumba ya Jirayeri kuti: ‘Imwepo mwalewa kuti: “Kusaya kubvera kwathu na pikado zathu ni mtolo ukulu kwene-kwene kwa ifepano ndipo bzikuticitisa kumala mphanvu. Tenepo tingapitirize tani kukhala na moyo?”’
11 Uwauze kuti: ‘Yahova Mbuya Mkululetu walewa kuti: “Pana ine Mulungu wamoyo, nimbakomedwa lini na infa ya munthu wakuipa, koma nimbafuna kuti munthu wakuipa acinje bzicito bzace kuti apitirize kukhala na moyo. Siyani, siyani makhalidwe yanu yakuipa, imwe wa m’nyumba ya Jirayeri, thangwe ranyi mukufuna kufa?”’
12 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, uza wanthu wako kuti: ‘Cirungamo ca munthu wakulungama cin’dzamupulumusa lini iye akasiya kucita bzinthu bzabwino, ndipo kuphonya kwa munthu wakuipa kun’dzamukhukhumudwisa lini iye akasiya kucita bzinthu bzakuipabzo. Munthu wakulungama an’dzapulumuka lini thangwe ra cirungamo cace pa ntsiku yomwe iye an’dzacita pikado.
13 Ndikauza munthu wakulungama kuti: “Kulewa cadidi iwepo un’dzakhala na moyo,” koma iye akacita bzinthu bzakuipa thangwe ra kuthemba cirungamo cace, palibe bzicito bzace bzakulungama bzomwe bzin’dzakumbukiridwa. Iye an’dzafa thangwe ra bzinthu bzakuipa* bzomwe wacitabzo.
14 “‘Ndipo ndikauza munthu wakuipa kuti: “Kulewa cadidi iwepo un’dzafa,” ndipo iye akasiya pikado zace acicita bzinthu bzabwino na bzakulungama,
15 akabwezera bzinthu bzomwe akhadaphatira munthu omwe akhanaye mangawa, acibwezerambo bzomwe waba, ndipo acifamba mwakubverana na malamulo yomwe yambapasa moyo, acisaya kucita bzinthu bzomwe mpsakuipa, kulewa cadidi iye an’dzapitiriza kukhala na moyo. Iye an’dzafa lini.
16 An’dzatawira lini mulandu thangwe ra pikado iri-yentse yomwe adacita.* Pakuti wacita bzinthu bzakulungama na bzabwino, kulewa cadidi iye an’dzapitiriza kukhala na moyo.’
17 “Wanthu wako alewa kuti: ‘Bzomwe Yahova ambacita mpsakusaya kulungama,’ tsono kulewa cadidi, iwo ndiwo omwe ambacita bzinthu bzakusaya kulungama.
18 “Munthu wakulungama akasiya kucita bzinthu bzabwino, aciyamba kucita bzinthu bzakuipa, iye an’dzafa thangwe ra bzimwebzo.
19 Tsono munthu wakuipa akasiya bzakuipa acicita bzabwino na bzakulungama, iye an’dzapitiriza kukhala na moyo thangwe ra bzimwebzo.
20 “Tsono imwepo mwalewa kuti: ‘Bzomwe Yahova ambacita mpsakusaya kulungama.’ Imwe wa m’nyumba ya Jirayeri, inepano nin’dzatonga munthu ali-wentse mwakubverana na bzomwe ambacita.”
21 Pakumalizira pace, mu gole laci 12 la ukapolo bwathu, m’mwezi waci 10, pa ntsiku yacixanu ya mweziyo, munthu m’bodzi omwe adapulumuka ku Jeruzalemu adabwera kwa ine acilewa kuti: “Mzinda watengedwa!”
22 Usiku bomwe mangwana yace mwamuna omwe adapulumuka ule angadafika, boko la Yahova lidandifikira ndipo iye adafungula mulomo wangu pomwe mwamuna ule akhanati kufika macibese. Mulomo wangu ukhadafungulidwa kale ndipo ndikhali lini pomwe bewewe.
23 Tenepo Yahova adalewalewa nande kuti:
24 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, wanthu wakukhala m’matere akulewa bzinthu pakulewa bza Jirayeri kuti: ‘Abulahamu akhali munthu m’bodzi basi, napo bziri tenepo iye adatenga dziko lino. Ife ndife azinji, kulewa cadidi, tidapasidwa dzikoli ninga utaka.’
25 “Tenepo uwauze kuti: ‘Yahova Mbuya Mkululetu walewa kuti: “Imwepo mumbadya nyama na mulopa wace, mumbanyang’anisisa bzifanikiso bzanu bzakunyantsa* ndipo mumbapitiriza kupha wanthu. Tsono thangwe ranyi mukufuna kuti dzikoli likhale lanu?
26 Mumbathemba xipada yanu, mumbacita bzinthu bzakunyantsa ndipo munthu ali-wentse ambacita upombo na mkazi wa mwenekaciro. Tsono thangwe ranyi mun’funa ku dzikoli likhale lanu?”’
27 “Iwepo un’funika kuwauza kuti: ‘Yahova Mbuya Mkululetu walewa kuti: “Pana ine Mulungu wamoyo, wale omwe ambakhala m’matere an’dzafa na xipada. Omwe ali m’thengo nin’dzawapereka kwa bzirombo bza m’thengo kuti akhale cakudya ca bzirombobzo ndipo omwe akukhala m’mimuro yakulimba na mu mphako an’dzafa na matenda.
28 Nin’dzacitisa kuti dzikoli lileke kukhalidwa pomwe na wanthu, ndipo kubzikuza kwace kun’dzamala. Mapiri ya Jirayeri yan’dzakhalidwa lini pomwe na wanthu ndipo palibe munthu omwe an’dzapita na m’mwemo.
29 Ndipo iwo an’dzadziwa kuti ine ndine Yahova, ndikadzacitisa dzikoli kukhaliratu matere thangwe ra bzinthu bzentse bzakunyantsa bzomwe iwo adacita.”’
30 “Tsono iwe mwana wa munthu, wanthu wako akucezerana bza iwepo m’mbali mwa mimuro na m’misuwo ya nyumba. Ali-wentse akuuza m’bale wace kuti: ‘Bwerani, bwerani tidzabve mafala ya Yahova.’
31 Iwo an’dzabwera azinji kwene-kwene kuti adzakhale pamaso pako ninga wanthu wangu. Iwo an’dzabva mafala yako, tsono an’dzayaphatisa lini basa, thangwe na miromo yawo, iwo ambalewa bzinthu bzabwino bza iwepo akakhala pabodzi na iwepo, koma mitima yawo imbafuna kugumana phindu mwacinyengo.
32 Kwa iwo, iwepo uli ninga nyimbo ya lufoyi yakuimbidwa na fala lakudeka na yakuimbidwa bwino na cakuimbira ca bzingwe. Iwo an’dzabva mafala yako, koma palibe omwe an’dzayaphatisa basa.
