Ekleziaste 3:1-22
3 Pinthu pyonsene piri na ndzidzi wace,Pinthu pyonsene pinacitwa pa dziko yapantsi piri na ndzidzi wace:
2 Pali na ndzidzi wakubalwa na ndzidzi wakufa;Pali na ndzidzi wakutceka na ndzidzi wakudula pidatcekwa;
3 Pali na ndzidzi wakupha na ndzidzi wakuwangisa;Pali na ndzidzi wakufudza na ndzidzi wakumanga;
4 Pali na ndzidzi wakulira na ndzidzi wakuseka;Pali na ndzidzi wakutsukwala na ndzidzi wakubvina;
5 Pali na ndzidzi wakuponya* miyala, na ndzidzi wakugumanya miyala;Pali na ndzidzi wakukhumbatira na ndzidzi wakucalira kukhumbatira;
6 Pali na ndzidzi wakusaka na ndzidzi wakuona cinthu ninga catayika;Pali na ndzidzi wakukoya na ndzidzi wakutaya;
7 Pali na ndzidzi wakupandula+ na ndzidzi wakusona;Pali na ndzidzi wakumatama+ na ndzidzi wakulonga;+
8 Pali na ndzidzi wakufuna na ndzidzi wakuida;+Pali na ndzidzi wa nkhondo na ndzidzi wantendere.
9 Kodi nyabasa anawinanji thangwi yakuwangisira kwace konsene?+
10 Ine ndaona basa idapereka Mulungu kuna anthu toera iwo aiphate.
11 Pinthu pyonsene iye apicita mwakubalika pa ndzidzi wakuthema.+ Iye aikhambo muntima mwawo cifuno cakukhala kwenda na kwenda; ngakhale tenepo, anthu cipo anabvesesa mwakukwana basa ya Mulungu wandimomwene.*
12 Ine ndaona kuti kuna iwo, nkhabepo cinthu cinango cadidi kakamwe kupiringana kutsandzaya, mbacita pinthu pyadidi mu umaso wawo,+
13 pontho kuti anthu onsene adye, amwe, mbakhala akutsandzaya thangwi ya basa yawo yakuwanga. Unoyu ndi muoni wa Mulungu.+
14 Ine ndabvesesa kuti pinthu pyonsene pidacita Mulungu wandimomwene pinapitiriza kwenda na kwenda. Nkhabe cinthu cinafuna kuthimizirwa, pontho nkhabe cinafuna kupungulwa. Mulungu wandimomwene acita pinthu munjira ineyi toera anthu anʼgope.+
15 Pinthu pinacitika pyacitika kale, pontho pinthu pinafuna kuoneka pikhalipo kale;+ mbwenye Mulungu wandimomwene asasaka pinthu pinasakwa na anthu.*
16 Ine ndaonambo ipi pa dziko yapantsi: Pa mbuto idathema kuoneka ulungami pakhali na uipi, pa mbuto idathema kuoneka udidi pakhali na uipi.+
17 Natenepa, ine ndalonga muntima mwanga: “Mulungu wandimomwene anadzatonga munthu wakulungama na wakuipa ene,+ thangwi mabasa onsene na pinthu pyonsene pinacitwa piri na ndzidzi wace.”
18 Ine ndalongambo muntima mwanga kuti Mulungu wandimomwene anadzayesera anthu mbaapangiza kuti iwo ndi ninga pinyama,
19 thangwi pinthu pinacitika kuna anthu pisacitikambo kuna pinyama; onsene asacitikirwa na pibodzi pyene.+ Munthu asafa, cinyama cisafambo; pontho onsene ali na nzimu ubodzi ene.*+ Natenepa munthu nkhabe kupiringana cinyama, thangwi pinthu pyonsene ndi pyakusowa basa.
20 Onsene asaenda ku mbuto ibodzi ene.+ Onsene acitwa kubulukira ku pfumbi,+ pontho onsene asabwerera ku pfumbi.+
21 Mwandimomwene mbani anadziwa khala nzimu* wa anthu usaenda kudzulu, peno khala nzimu* wa pinyama usaenda pantsi?+
22 Ine ndaona kuti nkhabe cinthu cinango cadidi kakamwe kuna munthu kupiringana kutsandzaya na basa yace,+ unoyu ndi muoni wace; thangwi mbani anafuna kumpangiza pinthu pinafuna kucitika kutsogolo iye angafa?+
