Kalata yoyamba yoyenda kwa Timoteyo 5:1-25
5 Ayi kutsuula mwamuna wachikulire uli kalipe, koma umbayankhule naye mokoma ntima ninge ababa wako. Amuna wachilumbwana umbayankhule nawo ninge azibale wako
2 ndipo akazi wachikulire ninge amayi wako. Akazi wachitsikana umbayankhule nawo ninge azilongosi wako, ndipo pakuchita vimwevi ayi kukhala na maganizo yaliyose yophonyeka.
3 Umbaikhire nzeru akazi amasiye omwe ni amasiyedi.*
4 Koma peno nkazi wamasiye anawana panango azizukulu, iwo akhale woyamba kusamalira wanthu wa m’banja yawo powonesa kuti ni odzipereka kwa Mulungu. Ambabwezere kwa azibereki na ambuya wawo vomwe ni vothandiza pamoyo wawo ndawa vimwevi vikondweresa Mulungu.
5 Nkazi yemwe ni wamasiyedi, yemwe ankusowa womusamalira athemba Mulungu ndipo apitiriza kupemphera na kugwigwirira usiku na masikati.
6 Koma yemwe andochita vinthu motewedzera vilakolako vake, ni wakufa olo kuti anamoyo.
7 Ndipomwapa upitirize kuwapasa malangizo* mwaya kuti osati akhale na chifukwa chowanenera voipa.
8 Shuwadi, peno munthu asamaliralini wanthu omwe ni udindo wake kuwasamalira, makamaka wa m’banja yake, walamba chikhulupiriro ndipo ni woipa kuposha munthu yemwe atumikiralini Mulungu.
9 Nkazi wamasiye wonembewa pa ndandanda ya akazi amasiye, akhale wamagole yoposha 60. Akhale pomwe yemwe wenze wokhulupirika kwa mwamuna wake,
10 wodziwika kuti adachita basa zabwino, adalera bwino wana wake, ambatambira bwino alendo, adasambika mapazi ya ochena, adathandiza wanthu omwe enze pa mabvuto komasoti ambaphata modzipereka basa iliyose yabwino.
11 Koma ayi kuikha akazi amasiye wachitsikana pa ndandanda moyu, ndawa akatengeka na chilakolako chofuna mwamuna m’malo motumikira Khrisitu, asankhula kulowodwa.
12 Vikateno, akhala ophonya ndawa alibe kusunga polomisi yawo.
13 Komasoti andokhala osachita kanthu nkumbandokhalira kufambafamba m’mamiyi ya anzawo. Kuingizira pa kumbandokhala osachita kanthu, akonda pomwe khokolo, kungenerera nkhani za anango komasoti kuyankhula vinthu vomwe afunikalini kuyankhula.
14 Ndipomwapa ninkuwona kuti vingakhale bwino kuti akazi wamasiye wachitsikana ambalowodwe, kubereka wana komasoti kusamalira banja na cholinga chakuti otsutsa osati atigumanire chifukwa.
15 Ndipo anango asokeresewa kale mwakuti ayamba kutewera Satana.
16 Peno nkazi aliyese yemwe atumikira Mulungu ali na azibale omwe ni akazi wamasiye, iye ambawathandize, kuti akazi wamasiye mwawo osati achitise mpingo kupanikizika. Vikateno, mpingo muyo ungakwanise kuthandiza omwe ni akazi wamasiyedi.*
17 Akulu omwe atsogolera bwino ambalemekezewe maninge, makamaka omwe achita khama poyankhula Mawu ya Mulungu na kupfunzisa.
18 Pale Mawu ya Mulungu yanena kuti: “Ayi kumanga ng’ombe pakamwa panthawe yomwe inkupuntha mbewu.” Komasoti yanena kuti: “Nyabasa afunika kutambira malipiro yake.”
19 Ayi kuthamingira kudawikiza peno wanthu ankunena kuti mwamuna wachikulire* anamulandu, kuchosapo peno pali mboni ziwiri panango zitatu.
20 Wanthu omwe andokhalira kuchita tchimo, umbawatsuule pamaso pa wose kuti anango achite mantha.
21 Ninkukulamula mwamphanvu, pamaso pa Mulungu na Yesu Khrisitu komasoti angelo ochita kusankhuliwa, kuti umbatewedze malangizo mwaya mosakondera panango kuchita tsankho.
22 Ayi kuthamangira kuikha munthu aliyese pa udindo, panango kugawana na wanthu anango machimo yawo. Pitiriza kukhala na khalidwe yochena.
23 Ayi kumbandomwa madzi yokha,* koma umbamwe pomwe vinyu pang’ono, ndawa ya bvuto yako ya m’mimba komasoti ndawa ya kudwaladwala kwako kule.
24 Machimo ya wanthu anango yadziwika kwa wanthu, ndipo yaweruziwa nthawe mweyo. Koma wanthu anango, machimo yawo yawonekera pakapita nthawe.
25 Nazombo basa zabwino zidziwika kwa wanthu ndipo zomwe zidziwikalini zingabisikelini mpakana kalekale.
