Ekleziaste 1:1-18
1 Mafala a mpfundzisi,*+ mwana wa Dhavidhi mambo wa ku Yerusalemu.+
2 Mpfundzisi alonga: “Pinthu pyapezi kakamwe!”“Pinthu pyapezi kakamwe! Pinthu pyonsene ndi pyakusowa basa!”+
3 Kodi munthu asawinanji na basa yace yonsene yakuwanga inaphata iye,Inawangisira iye kakamwe toera kuiphata pa dziko yapantsi?*+
4 Anthu anango asafa, anango asabalwa,Mbwenye dziko yapantsi isapitiriza kwenda na kwenda.+
5 Dzuwa isabuluka, dzuwa isadoka;Buluka penepo, isabwerera mwakucimbiza ku mbuto inabuluka iyo pontho.+
6 Mphepo isaenda kunterero, mbizungulira kuenda kunkwiriro;Isazungulira, mbizungulira, mbipitiriza kuzungulira; mphepo isapitiriza kuzungulira.
7 Mikulo yonsene isawewa kuenda ku bara; ngakhale tenepo, bara nkhabe kudzala.+
Madzi a mikulo asabwerera pontho ku mbuto idabuluka iwo toera atome pontho kuwewa.+
8 Pinthu pyonsene mphyakunetesa;Kupiringana pinakwanisa kulonga munthu.
Diso nkhabe neta na kuona;Pontho khutu nkhabe neta na kubva.
9 Pire pidapita ndipyo pinafuna kuoneka pontho,Pire pidacitwa pinadzacitwa pontho;Nkhabepo cinthu cipswa pa dziko yapantsi.+
10 Kodi ciripo cinthu cakuti munthu anakwanisa kucilonga kuti: “Onani, ici ndi cinthu cipswa”?
Pyonsene piripo kutomera kale kakamwe;Pikhalipo kale mbudzati kufika ndzidzi wathu.
11 Nkhabepo munthu anakumbuka anthu adakhala mʼmaso mu ndzidzi wakale;Nkhabe munthu anafuna kukumbuka anthu anafuna kukhala mʼmaso kutsogolo;Pontho iwo nee anadzakumbukirwa na anthu anafuna kukhala mʼmaso patsogolo pawo.+
12 Ine mpfundzisi, ndadzakhala mambo wa Izraeli mu Yerusalemu.+
13 Ndawangisira toera kupfundza mbandisaka kudziwa mwaudziwisi+ pyonsene pinacitwa pa dziko yapantsi,+ mabasa akunetesa adapereka Mulungu kuna anthu toera iwo apitirize kuaphata.
14 Ine ndaona pinthu pyonsene pinacitwa pa dziko yapantsi,Mbandidzindikira kuti pyonsene mphyapezi, ninga kuthamangira mphepo.+
15 Nkhabe kwanisika kudzongola cinthu cidagongonyeka,Pontho nkhabe kwanisika kulengesa cinthu cidacerera.
16 Ine ndalonga muntima mwanga: “Ine ndadzakhala na udziwisi kakamwe kupiringana anthu onsene adakhala mu Yerusalemu+ ine mbandidzati kubalwa, pontho ntima wanga wadzakhala na udziwisi ukulu,+ mbudziwa pinthu pizinji.”
17 Ine ndawangisira toera kudziwa udziwisi, kudziwa upswiru* na kudziwa udzemwa,+ pyenepi ndi sawasawambo na kuthamangira mphepo.
18 Thangwi udziwisi uzinji usatsukwalisa kakamwe,Natenepa, ule anathimizira cidziwiso cace, asathimizirambo nyatwa zace.+
