1Phundzani mafundzo gangu, mwi atu angu,

2 Nindabisha namwi kpwa kuhumira ndarira,
nindagomba maneno ga siri za hangu kare.
3Mambo ambago hwagasikira na kugamanya,
mambo hurigoambirwa ni akare ehu.
4Gago tahundafwitsa ana ehu,
hundasemurira chivyazi chedzacho
mahendo ga nguma ga Mwenyezi Mlungu,
na uwezowe na mambo ga ajabu arigohenda.
5Waapha malagizo atu a Iziraeli, chivyazi cha Jakobo
wachipha malagizo.
Walagiza akare ehu
aafundze ana ao,
6ili chivyazi chedzacho chidzifundze kula kpwao
nao edze aambire ana ao.
7Chihivyo nao piya andamkuluphira Mlungu
na taandayala gara achigohenda,
ela agbwire malagizoge siku zosi.
8Taandakala dza akare ao,
atu a mioyo mifu na aasi,
ambao tayamuamini Mlungu chikamilifu
na taayakala aaminifu wakati wosi.
9Dzagbwe Aefuraimu akala na maha,
aho achimbira viha.
10Taayagbwira chilagane cha Mlungu,
arema kugbwira shariyaze.
11Ayala gara garigohendwa ni Mlungu
na vilinje ambavyo kala akaaonyesa.
12 Mlungu wahenda vilinje mbere za akare ao,
hiko tsi ya Misiri, seemu za Soani.
13 Waahula njira baharini na achiahenda atsupe,
wahenda madzi gaime dza kuta.
14 Wakati wa mutsi waalongoza na ingu,
na usiku wosi waalongoza na mwanga wa moho.
15Waahula myamba hiko jangbwani
achiapha madzi kpwa unji dza madzi ga bahari.
16 Wahenda vidzuho kula mwambani,
na achihenda madzi gajere dza myuho.
17Ela phamwenga na vivyo,
aenderera kuhenda dambi kpwa kumuasi Iye Ariye Dzulu Kuriko Vyosi ko jangbwani.
18 Amjeza Mlungu kusudi
kpwa kuvoya chakurya arichokala na kpwiru nacho.
19Agomba chinyume cha Mlungu achiamba,
“Kale Mlungu anaweza kuhuandazira chakurya ku weruni?
20Ni kpweli, iye wapiga mwamba, madzi gachihumbuka
na myuho ichifurika.
Kale iye andaweza kuapha atue chakurya
au kuapha atue nyama?”
21Hipho Mwenyezi Mlungu ariphosikira hivyo wareya sana
moho wa tsukizize uchiocha atu a chivyazi cha Jakobo
tsukizize zichiamenyerera atu a Iziraeli.
22Kpwa sababu taayamuamini Mlungu
na taayamkuluphira kukala anaweza kuativya.
23Ela walagiza kuko dzulu,
na achivugula miryango ya mlunguni,
24 Achiamwagira manna dza mvula kula dzulu ili arye,
waapha mtsere kula mlunguni.
25Anadamu achirya chakurya cha malaika,
naye waapha chakurya cha kukola.
26Iye wasababisha phepho ra mlairo wa dzuwa ripige kula mlunguni,
na kpwa uwezowe achituluza phepho ra mwakani.
27Waamwagira nyama dza vumbi,
nyama a mapha anji dza mtsanga wa baharini.
28Nyama hinyo a mapha arichwa agbwe mo mwao kambini
na kuzunguluka go mahema gao.
29Phahi arya kumvuna
mana waapha chira arichokala na kpwiru nacho.
30Ela kabila kpwiru yao taidzangbwesira,
wakati chakurya chichere mwao miromoni,
31tsukizi za Mlungu zichiedzera chinyume chao,
achiaolaga hara ariokala na nguvu kahi zao
achibwaga mabarobaro ga Iziraeli.
32Ela phamwenga na gago gosi aenderera kuhenda dambi,
dzagbwe waahendera mambo ga ajabu, aho taayaamini.
33Kpwa hivyo achihenda siku zao zisire upesi dza mseho,
na miaka yao isire upesi na vifo vya gafula.
34Chila ariphoaolaga, hinyo ariosala amuendza Mlungu,
atubu achimuendza Mlungu kpwa chadi.
35Atambukira kukala Mlungu ndiye mwamba wao,
Iye Ariye Dzulu Kuriko Vyosi ndiye mkomboli wao.
36Ela amchenga kpwa maneno gao,
achigomba handzo kpwa kanwa zao.
37 Taayakala aaminifu kpwakpwe,
taayakala aaminifu kpwa chilaganeche.
38Hata hivyo kpwa kukala iye ni wa mbazi,
waaswamehe uyi wao,
wala kayaangamiza,
wazuwiya tsukizize hipha na hipha,
wala kayadziricha apandwe ni asira.
39Watambukira kukala aho ni atu tu,
dza phepho ripigaro richitsupa na tariuya tsona.
40Amkosera adabu kano ngaphi amuasi ko weruni
na achimsononesa ko jangbwani?
41Amjeza Mlungu kano kpwa kano
achimchokoza Mtakatifu wa Iziraeli.
42Taayatambukira kukala iye ana uwezo
wala kutambukira hira siku ariphoativya kula kpwa aviha ao,
43ariphohenda isharaze ko Misiri
na mahendoge ga ajabu hiko seemu ya Soani.
44 Achigaluza myuho yao ichikala milatso,
ili asiweze kunwa madzi ga vidzuho vyao.
45 Waahumira maipho ga maindzi gachiapashira
na magula, garigoahenda asikale na amani.
46 Mimea yao wairichira makunyati
na mavuno ga kazi yao achigarichira ndzije.
47 Wabananga mizabibu yao na mvula ya mawe
na mikuyu yao achiibananga na mnyevu kali.
48Ngʼombe zao waziolaga na mvula ya mawe,
na achihenda mifugo yao ipigbwe ni limeme ra chiguruguru.
49Waricha tsukizize kali ziake dzulu yao,
warichira tsukizize, utsunguwe na mashaka phamwenga
na kuahumira kundi ra malaika anaoangamiza atu.
50Tsukizize wazitengezera njira
kayaativya na chifo
ela waaolaga na ukongo mui.
51 Waolaga ana a kpwandza a chilume a Amisiri
yani matunda ga kpwandza kahi za mahema ga Hamu.
52 Halafu waatuluza atue dza mifugo
achialongoza dza mangʼondzi kutsupira weruni.
53 Waalongoza salama, hata taogophere
ela bahari ichihosa maadui gao.
54 Achiareha hadi kpwenye mphaka wa tsiiye takatifu,
ko tsi ya myango ariyoishinda na mkpwonowe wa kulume.
55 Wazola atu a mataifa ganjina mbere zao,
achiaganyira tsi zao zikale urisi wao,
achihenda mbari za Iziraeli kahi ya midzi yao.
56 Ela phamwenga na vivyo, aho amjeza
na achimuasi Mlungu Ariye Dzulu Kuriko Vyosi
na taayalunga malagizoge.
57Badalaye agaluka achihenda mai dza akare ao,
akosa kukuluphirika dza uha urio na kasoro.
58Mana amreyeza Mlungu kpwa hizo seemu zao za dzulu za kuabudira milungu
amtiya Mlungu wivu na vyo vizuka vyao vya kudzitengezera.
59Mlungu ariphoona, achitsukirwa sana,
achikahala Iziraeli tsetsetse.
60 Waricha makaloge hiko Shilo,
hema ambamo wasagala kahi za atu.
61 Waricha sanduku ra nguvuze rihalwe kuphirikpwa utumwani
utukufuwe mikononi mwa adui.
62Waatsukirirwa sana atue
achiaricha aolagbwe kpwa upanga.
63Moho uchiaocha ana aho alume
nao ana aho achetu achikosa achumba.
64Alavyadzi-sadaka aolagbwa vihani
wala magungu aho taayaweza kuasononekera.
65Halafu Mwenyezi Mlungu walamuka dza alaye usingizini,
dza mutu jasiri achiyechangamshwa ni uchi.
66Achizola maaduige,
achiatiya waibu hata kare na kare.
67Iye achirema chivyazi cha Yusufu,
wala kayatsambula mbari ya Efuraimu.
68Badalaye watsambula mbari ya Juda,
Mwango wa Sayuni, anaoumendza.
69Achidzenga phatuphe phatakatifu dza dzulu mlunguni,
achikuhenda imara dza arivyohenda dunia hata kare na kare.
70 Wamtsambula Daudi mtumishiwe,
yekala mrisa wa mangʼondzi,
71kula arikorisa mangʼondzi na vidzana ngʼondzi achimreha
edze akale mrisa wa chivyazi cha Jakobo,
Aiziraeli, atu a Mlungu.
72Naye waaroroma na ukamilifu
na achialongoza kpwa ujuzi wa mikonoye.
