Malakiya 2:1-17
2 “Cincino, ine ndiri kupereka ntemo uyu kuna imwe anyantsembe.+
2 Imwe mungakhonda kuubvera, pontho mungakhonda kupasa mbiri dzina yanga na ntima wanu onsene,” alonga Yahova wa anyankhondo, “Ine ndinakupasani dzedze,+ pontho ndinadzacinja nkhombo zanu kudza dzedze,+ inde, ndinadzacinja nkhombo zanu kudza dzedze thangwi nee musandibvera na ntima wanu onsene.”
3 “Onani! Ine ndinadzapha* mbeu zidabzwala imwe, thangwi ya pinthu pinacita imwe,+ pontho ndinadzakuwazirani kunkhope kwanu matubzwi a pinyama pinapereka imwe ninga ntsembe mʼmaphwando anu; pontho imwe munadzaponywa pabodzi na iwo.*
4 Natenepa imwe munadzadziwa kuti ndakupasani ntemo unoyu toera cibverano canga na Levi cipitirize kuphata basa,”+ alonga Yahova wa anyankhondo.
5 “Cibverano cidacita ine na iye capulumusa umaso wace, pontho cancitisa toera akhale na umaso wa ntendere. Thangwi ya nkhombo zenezi, iye akulumizika toera kundigopa.* Nakuti iye akhalemedza dzina yanga, iye nee akhacita pinthu pyakuti pikhanditsukwalisa.
6 Iye asapfundzisa mwambo wandimomwene,+ pontho cipo alonga mafala akuipa. Iye akakhala muntendere na ine,+ pontho aphedza anthu azinji toera asiye kucita pinthu pyakuipa.
7 Thangwi mulomo wa nyantsembe usafunika kukoya udziwisi, pontho anthu anadzaenda kuna iye toera kapfundziswa,*+ thangwi iye ndi nyakupereka mphangwa wa Yahova wa anyankhondo.
8 “Mbwenye imwe mwasiya kufamba munjira yadidi. Imwe mwacitisa* anthu azinji kusiya kubvera mwambo.+ Imwe mwafudza cibverano cidacita ine na Levi,”+ alonga Yahova wa anyankhondo.
9 “Natenepa ine ndinakucitisani toera mupwazwe, pontho mukhonde kulemedzwa pamaso pa mbumba yonsene, thangwi imwe nee mwatowezera njira zanga, mbwenye mwapangiza tsankhulo pakuphatisira mwambo.”+
10 “Kodi ife tonsene babathu si mʼbodzi ene tayu?+ Kodi adaticita si Mulungu mʼbodzi basi tayu? Mphapo thangwi yanji tisasandukirana unango na ndzace,+ mbatipswipisa cibverano cidacita ambuyathu?
11 Mbumba ya Yuda yacita pinthu mwakukhonda khulupirika, pontho yacita pinthu pyakunyanyasa mu Izraeli na mu Yerusalemu; iwo apswipisa kucena kwa* Yahova,+ kwakuti Iye asakufuna, pontho iwo asemba atsikana akuti asalambira alungu anango.+
12 Yahova anadzapha mʼmisasa ya Yakobe anthu onsene anacita pyenepi, mwakukhonda tsalakana kuti ndi ani,* ngakhale iye apereke ntsembe ninga miyoni kuna Yahova wa anyankhondo.”+
13 “Pontho pana cinthu cinango* cinacita imwe, cakuti cisacitisa guwa ya Yahova kudzala na misozi, kulira na kubulira. Na thangwi ineyi, ntsembe zinapereka imwe ninga miyoni, iye nee asazitawira, pontho pinthu pyonsene pinapereka imwe, iye nee asakomerwa napyo.+
14 Imwe musalonga: ‘Thangwi yanji?’ Thangwi Yahova ndi mboni pakati pa imwe na akazanu, mʼbodzi na mʼbodzi wa imwe acita pinthu mwakukhonda khulupirika kuna nkazi adasemba iye mbali mʼphale, maseze iye ndi xamwali wace, pontho nkazi adacita na iye cibverano.*+
15 Mbwenye pana anango pakati panu akuti atonga toera kukhonda kucita pyenepi. Iwo akhonda kucita pyenepi thangwi akhafuna kukhala na ana akuti mwandimomwene ndi mbumba ya Mulungu.* Anthu anewa asapitiriza kucita pinthu mwakutsogolerwa na mphambvu ya Mulungu. Cincino, imwembo onani mwadidi piri mʼmitima yanu, pontho kulisani makhaliro adidi. Lekani kucita pinthu mwakukhonda kukhulupirika na akazi adasemba imwe mu uphale wanu.
16 Ine ndisaipirwa* kakamwe na munthu anakhonda nkazace,”+ alonga Yahova Mulungu wa Izraeli, “pontho ndisaipirwa na ule wakuti ali na mulando wakucita pinthu pyauphanga,” alonga Yahova wa anyankhondo. “Onani mwadidi pinthu piri mʼmitima yanu, pontho lekani kucita pinthu mwakukhonda kukhulupirika.+
17 “Imwe mwacitisa Yahova kuneta thangwi ya mafalanu.+ Mbwenye imwe musalonga: ‘Tancitisa tani kuneta?’ Imwe mwancitisa kuneta na mafala awa: ‘Anthu onsene anacita pinthu pyakuipa ndi adidi pamaso pa Yahova, pontho iye asakomerwa na anthu anewa,’+ peno musalonga: “Mulungu wa ulungami ali kupi?’”
