Mlaliki 3:1-22 OCCL

[1] Chinthu chilichonse chili ndi nthawi yake, ndi nyengo yake yomwe anayika Mulungu: [2] Nthawi yobadwa ndi nthawi yomwalira, nthawi yodzala ndi nthawi yokolola. [3] Nthawi yakupha ndi nthawi yochiritsa, nthawi yogwetsa ndi nthawi yomanga. [4] Nthawi yomva chisoni ndi nthawi yosangalala, nthawi yolira maliro ndi nthawi yovina. [5] Nthawi yotaya miyala ndi nthawi yokundika miyala, nthawi yokumbatirana ndi nthawi yoleka kukumbatirana. [6] Nthawi yofunafuna ndi nthawi yoleka kufunafuna, nthawi yosunga ndi nthawi yotaya. [7] Nthawi yongʼamba ndi nthawi yosoka, nthawi yokhala chete ndi nthawi yoyankhula. [8] Nthawi yokondana ndi nthawi yodana, nthawi ya nkhondo ndi nthawi ya mtendere. [9] Kodi wantchito amapeza phindu lanji pa ntchito yake yolemetsa? [10] Ine ndinaona chipsinjo chimene Mulungu anayika pa anthu. [11] Iye anapanga chinthu chilichonse kuti chikhale chabwino pa nthawi yake. Anayika nzeru zamuyaya mʼmitima ya anthu; komabe anthuwo sangathe kuzindikira zomwe Mulungu wachita kuyambira pa chiyambi mpaka chimaliziro. [12] Ine ndikudziwa kuti palibenso kanthu kabwino kwa anthu kopambana kusangalala ndi kuchita zabwino pamene ali ndi moyo. [13] Ndi mphatso ya Mulungu kwa munthu kuti azidya, azimwa ndi kumakondwera ndi ntchito zake zolemetsa. [14] Ndikudziwa kuti chilichonse chimene Mulungu amachita chidzakhala mpaka muyaya; palibe zimene zingawonjezedwe kapena kuchotsedwa. Mulungu amazichita kuti anthu azimuopa. [15] Chilichonse chimene chilipo chinalipo kale, ndipo chimene chidzakhalapo chinalipo poyamba; Mulungu amabwezanso zakale zimene zinapita kuti zichitikenso. [16] Ndipo ndinaona chinthu chinanso pansi pano: ku malo achiweruzo, kuyipa mtima kuli komweko, ku malo achilungamo, kuyipa mtima kuli komweko. [17] Ndinalingalira mu mtima mwanga kuti; “Mulungu adzaweruza olungama pamodzi ndi oyipa omwe, pakuti anayika nthawi yochitikira chinthu chilichonse, nthawi ya ntchito iliyonse.” [18] Ndinalingaliranso kuti, “Kunena za anthu, Mulungu amawayesa ndi cholinga choti awaonetse kuti iwo ali ngati nyama. [19] Zimene zimachitikira munthu, zomwezonso zimachitikira nyama; chinthu chimodzi chomwecho chimachitikira onse: Monga munthu amafa momwemonso nyama imafa. Zonsezi zimapuma mpweya umodzimodzi omwewo; munthu saposa nyama. Zonsezi ndi zopandapake. [20] Zonse zimapita kumodzimodzi; zonsezi zimachokera ku fumbi, ndipo zimabwereranso ku fumbi komweko. [21] Kodi ndani amene amadziwa ngati mzimu wa munthu umakwera kumwamba, ndipo mzimu wa nyama umatsikira kunsi kwa dziko?” [22] Kotero ndinaona kuti palibe chinthu chabwino kwa munthu kuposa kuti munthu azisangalala ndi ntchito yake, pakuti ichi ndiye chake chenicheni. Pakuti ndani amene angamubweretse kuti adzaone zimene zidzamuchitikira iye akadzamwalira?
