Miyambo
25 Miyambi ina ya Solomo+ imene atumiki a Hezekiya+ mfumu ya Yuda anakopera ndi iyi:
3 Nʼzosatheka kufufuza kutalika kwa kumwamba komanso kuzama kwa dziko lapansi,
Nʼchimodzimodzinso mitima ya mafumu.
5 Chotsani woipa pamaso pa mfumu,
Ndipo mpando wake wachifumu udzakhazikika chifukwa cha chilungamo.+
6 Usadzilemekeze wekha pamaso pa mfumu,+
Ndipo usakhale pakati pa anthu olemekezeka,+
7 Chifukwa ndi bwino kuti mfumuyo ikuuze kuti, “Bwera udzakhale apa,”
Kusiyana nʼkuti ikuchititse manyazi pamaso pa munthu wolemekezeka.+
8 Usamafulumire kupititsa mlandu kukhoti,
Chifukwa udzachita chiyani mnzako akadzapereka umboni wosonyeza kuti iweyo ndi wolakwa?+
9 Thetsa nkhaniyo pokambirana ndi mnzakoyo,+
Koma usaulule nkhani zachinsinsi zimene unauzidwa,*+
10 Kuti amene akumvetsera asakuchititse manyazi
Komanso kuti usafalitse nkhani yoipa* imene sungathe kuithetsa kuti isapitirize kufalikira.
12 Munthu wanzeru akamadzudzula munthu wa khutu lomvetsera+
Amakhala ngati ndolo yagolide ndiponso ngati chokongoletsera chagolide woyenga bwino.
13 Nthumwi yokhulupirika kwa anthu amene aituma
Ili ngati kuzizira kwa sinowo* pa tsiku lokolola,
Chifukwa imatsitsimula moyo wa abwana ake.+
14 Munthu wodzitama kuti apereka mphatso koma nʼkulephera kupereka,+
Ali ngati mitambo komanso mphepo yosabweretsa mvula.
15 Chifukwa cha kuleza mtima munthu angathe kunyengerera munthu waudindo,
17 Phazi lako lisamapitepite kunyumba kwa mnzako,
Kuti angatope nawe nʼkuyamba kudana nawe.
18 Munthu wopereka umboni wabodza pa mlandu wa mnzake+
Ali ngati chibonga chakunkhondo, lupanga, komanso muvi wakuthwa.
19 Kukhulupirira munthu wosadalirika* pa nthawi yamavuto
Kuli ngati dzino lothyoka komanso phazi lotsimphina.
20 Amene amaimbira nyimbo munthu amene ali ndi chisoni mumtima mwake+
Ali ngati munthu amene amavula chovala pa tsiku lozizira,
Komanso ngati viniga* amene wathiridwa musoda
21 Ngati mdani wako* ali ndi njala, umʼpatse chakudya.
Ngati ali ndi ludzu, umʼpatse madzi akumwa,+
22 Ukachita zimenezi ndiye kuti ukumuunjikira makala amoto pamutu pake,*+
Ndipo Yehova adzakupatsa mphoto.
23 Mphepo yakumpoto imabweretsa mvula yambiri
Ndipo lilime lonena miseche limachititsa kuti anthu akhale ndi nkhope zolusa.+
24 Ndi bwino kukhala pakona ya denga la nyumba
Kusiyana ndi kukhala mʼnyumba limodzi ndi mkazi wolongolola.*+
