2 Penepo ine ndalonga muntima mwanga: “Ndinayesera kutsandzaya na umaso toera ndione kuti ndinawinanji.” Mbwenye ndaona kuti pyenepi ndi pyakusowambo basa.

 2 Ine ndalonga: “Kuseka ndi upswiru!”

Pontho ndalonga kuti: “Kutsandzaya kuli na basa yanji?”

3 Ine ndasaka kubvesesa mwadidi: Ndasankhula kutsandzaya na vinyu,+ mbandipitiriza na udziwisi wanga; ndafika pa kukhumbatira udzemwa, toera ndidzindikire kuti ndi pinthu pipi pyadidi kakamwe pyakuti anthu asafunika kupicita mu ntsiku zakucepa za umaso wawo pa dziko yapantsi. 4 Ndaphata mabasa makulu.+ Ndamanga nyumba zanga,+ pontho ndalima minda yanga ya mauva.+ 5 Ndakhunganya mbuto zakubalika, mbanditcekamo miti na maluwa, pontho ndatcekamo mitundu yonsene ya miti ya misapo. 6 Ndasasanya mbuto zakukoyera madzi toera kuthirira miti mingʼono mu nsitu wanga. 7 Ine ndakhala na atumiki amuna na akazi,+ pontho ndakhala na atumiki adabalwa panyumba panga.* Ndakhalambo na pifuyo pizinji, ngʼombe na mabira,+ kupiringana anthu onsene adakhala mu Yerusalemu ine mbandidzati kubalwa. 8 Pontho ndakhala na parata na ouro,+ mpfuma idabuluka kuna amambo na mʼmaprovinsya.+ Ndagumanya anyakuimba amuna na akazi, kuphatanizambo pinatsandzayisa amuna: Nkazi, inde, akazi azinji. 9 Natenepa, ndadzakhala wankulu kupiringana anthu onsene adakhala mu Yerusalemu ine mbandidzati kubalwa.+ Pontho udziwisi wanga wapitiriza kukhala na ine.

10 Ine ndacita pinthu pyonsene pikhafuna ine.+ Ntima wanga watsandzaya na mitundu yonsene ya matsendzo. Ntima wanga ukhatsandzaya na basa yanga yonsene yakuwanga,* unoyu ukhali muoni wanga thangwi ya basa yanga yonsene yakuwanga.+ 11 Mbwenye pidanyerezera ine mabasa onsene adaphata ine na manja anga, na basa yakuwanga idaphata ine mwakuwangisira kakamwe,+ ndaona kuti pyonsene pikhali pyapezi, pikhali ninga kuthamangira mphepo;+ pa dziko yapantsi nee pakhali na cinthu cakuti mwandimomwene cinaphedza.*+

12 Buluka penepo, ine ndatoma kunyerezera pya udziwisi, upswiru na pya udzemwa.+ (Thangwi ninji pinafuna kucita munthu anabwera nduli mwa mambo? Basi ene pinthu pidamala kucitwa kale.) 13 Ine ndaona kuti udziwisi usaphedza kakamwe kupiringana udzemwa,+ ninga ceza cisaphedza kakamwe kupiringana cidima.

14 Munthu waudziwisi maso ace asaona mwadidi,*+ mbwenye dzemwa asafamba ncidima.+ Ndadzindikirambo kuti onsene kufa kwawo ndi sawasawa.+ 15 Penepo ine ndalonga muntima mwanga: “Pinacitika kuna dzemwa, ndipyo pinafuna kucitikambo kuna ine.”+ Khala ndi tenepo, mphapo ndawinanji thangwi yakukhala kwanga waudziwisi kakamwe? Ine ndalonga muntima mwanga: “Pyenepi ndi pyakusowambo basa.” 16 Thangwi nee munthu waudziwisi, nee dzemwa anakumbukirwa kwenda na kwenda.+ Mu ntsiku za ntsogolo, onsene anadzaduwalwa. Kodi munthu waudziwisi anafa tani? Anafa ninga munafa dzemwa.+

17 Natenepa, ine ndatoma kuida umaso,+ thangwi mabasa onsene anaphatwa pa dziko yapantsi akhaoneka ninga akutsukwalisa kuna ine, thangwi pyonsene pikhali pyapezi,+ pikhali ninga kuthamangira mphepo.+ 18 Ndatoma kuida pinthu pyonsene pidaphatira ine basa mwakuwanga pa dziko yapantsi,+ thangwi pyonsene mbidapisiyira munthu anabwera nduli mwanga.+ 19 Pontho mbani anadziwa khala iye anakhala munthu waudziwisi peno dzemwa?+ Ngakhale tenepo, iye anadzakhala na pinthu pyonsene pidawina ine thangwi yakuphata basa mwakuwanga na mwaudziwisi pa dziko yapantsi. Pyenepi ndi pyakusowambo basa. 20 Natenepa, ntima wanga watoma kukhala wakusowa cidikhiro thangwi ya basa yakuwanga idaphata ine mwakuwangisira kakamwe pa dziko yapantsi. 21 Thangwi munthu anakwanisa kuphata basa mwakuwanga mukutsogolerwa na udziwisi, cidziwiso na maluso, mbwenye pinthu pyonsene pidawina iye anapipereka kuna munthu wakuti nee apiphatira basa.+ Pyenepi ndi pyakusowambo basa na pyakutsukwalisa kakamwe.

22 Kodi mwandimomwene munthu anawinanji na basa yace yonsene yakuwanga na cifuno cinankulumiza toera kuphata basa mwakuwanga pa dziko yapantsi?+ 23 Thangwi mu ntsiku zonsene za umaso wace, basa yace isamʼbweresera nyatwa na kutsukwala,+ pontho namasiku ntima wace nkhabe kupuma.*+ Pyenepi ndi pyakusowambo basa.

24 Nkhabe cinthu cinango cadidi kakamwe kuna munthu kupiringana kudya na kumwa, mbatsandzaya na basa yace yakuwanga.+ Ine ndadzindikira kuti pyenepi pisabulukambo kuna Mulungu wandimomwene,+ 25 thangwi mbani anadya, mbamwa mwadidi kakamwe kupiringana ine?+

26 Kuna munthu anankomeresa, iye asampasa udziwisi, cidziwiso na kutsandzaya,+ mbwenye nyakudawa asampasa basa yakugumanya pinthu, iye asagumanya pinthu pyenepi basi ene toera kupasa munthu anakomeresa Mulungu wandimomwene.+ Pyenepi ndi pyakusowambo basa, ninga kuthamangira mphepo.
