Miyambo 17:1-28
17 Ndi bwino kudya mkate wouma pali mtendere,*+Kusiyana ndi kuchita maphwando ochuluka* mʼnyumba imene muli mikangano.+
2 Wantchito wozindikira adzalamulira mwana wa mbuye wake amene amachita zinthu zochititsa manyazi.Adzalandira nawo cholowa pamodzi ndi ana a mbuye wake.
3 Siliva amamuyengera mʼmbiya yoyengera ndipo golide amamuyengera mungʼanjo,+Koma Yehova ndi amene amayesa mitima.+
4 Munthu woipa amakonda kumvetsera mawu opweteka.Ndipo munthu wachinyengo amamvetsera lilime loyambitsa mavuto.+
5 Wonyoza munthu wosauka amanyoza amene anamupanga.+Ndipo amene amasangalala ndi tsoka la wina sadzalephera kulangidwa.+
6 Zidzukulu zili ngati chisoti chaulemu kwa anthu okalamba,Ndipo ana amalemekezeka chifukwa cha bambo awo.*
7 Sitingayembekezere kuti munthu wopusa alankhule zinthu zanzeru.*+
Ndipo nʼzosayenera kuti wolamulira* azilankhula zabodza.+
8 Mphatso ili ngati mwala wamtengo wapatali kwa mwiniwake.*+Kulikonse kumene wapita, imachititsa kuti zinthu zimuyendere bwino.+
9 Aliyense amene amakhululuka* zolakwa akufunafuna chikondi,+Koma amene amangokhalira kulankhula za nkhani inayake amalekanitsa mabwenzi apamtima.+
10 Kudzudzula kumamufika pamtima munthu womvetsa zinthu,+Kuposa kukwapula munthu wopusa zikwapu 100.+
11 Munthu woipa amangofuna kupanduka,Koma munthu wankhanza adzatumidwa kuti akamulange.+
12 Ndi bwino kukumana ndi chimbalangondo chimene ana ake asowa,Kusiyana ndi kukumana ndi chitsiru chimene chimachita zopusa.+
13 Ngati munthu amabwezera zoipa pa zabwino,Zoipa sizidzachoka panyumba yake.+
14 Kuyambitsa ndewu kuli ngati kuboola damu kuti madzi atulukemo.*Choncho mkangano usanabuke, chokapo.+
15 Aliyense wonena kuti munthu woipa alibe mlandu ndiponso aliyense wonena kuti munthu wolungama ndi wolakwa,+Onsewa ndi onyansa kwa Yehova.
16 Kodi pali phindu lililonse ngati munthu wopusa ali ndi njira yopezera nzeru,Pamene alibe cholinga chopeza nzeruzo?*+
17 Mnzako weniweni amakusonyeza chikondi nthawi zonse,+Ndipo ndi mʼbale amene anabadwa kuti akuthandize pakagwa mavuto.+
18 Munthu wopanda nzeru amagwirana dzanja ndi munthu winaNdipo amalonjeza pamaso pa mnzake kuti iye akhala chikole.+
19 Aliyense amene amakonda mikangano amakonda zolakwa.+
Aliyense woika khomo la nyumba yake pamwamba akudziitanira mavuto.+
20 Munthu amene mtima wake ndi wopotoka zinthu sizidzamuyendera bwino,*+Ndipo amene amalankhula mwachinyengo adzagwera mʼmavuto.
21 Bambo amene wabereka mwana wopusa adzamva chisoni.Ndipo bambo wa mwana wopanda nzeru sasangalala.+
22 Mtima wosangalala uli ngati mankhwala amene amachiritsa,+Koma munthu akakhumudwa mphamvu zake zimatha.*+
23 Munthu woipa amalandira chiphuphu mobisa,Kuti akhotetse chilungamo.+
24 Munthu wozindikira amakhala ndi cholinga choti apeze nzeru,Koma maso a munthu wopusa amangoyendayenda mpaka kumalekezero a dziko lapansi.+
25 Mwana wopusa amamvetsa chisoni bambo ake,Komanso amapweteketsa mtima wa* mayi ake amene anamubereka.+
26 Si bwino kulanga* munthu wolungama,Ndipo kukwapula anthu olemekezeka nʼkosayenera.
27 Munthu wodziwa zinthu amayamba waganiza asanalankhule,+Ndipo munthu wozindikira amapitiriza kukhala wodekha.+
28 Ngakhale munthu wopusa amene wakhala chete adzaonedwa ngati wanzeru,Ndipo amene watseka pakamwa pake adzaonedwa ngati wozindikira.
