160 Mau a Mulungu kwa Osowa Chochita

Njira ya moyo, ndiyendayenda ine ndekha. Nthawi zina njira imakhala yowala ndipo nthawi zina imakhala yamdima komanso yovuta.

Baibulo limandiphunzitsa kuti ndine woyang'anira zisankho zanga ndi njira zomwe ndimasankha. M'buku la Miyambo, mawu oti "njira" atchulidwa maulendo opitilira makumi asanu ndi limodzi. Mawuwa sakutanthauza kokha njira yeniyeni, komanso njira ya moyo wanga.

Mfumu yanzeru Solomoni imatilimbikitsa kuti: "Samalira mayendedwe a mapazi ako, ndipo njira zako zonse zikhale zolungama" (Miyambo 4:26). Apa, udindo uli pa ine kuti ndiyang'ane ndikusankha njira yolungama.

Njira ya chitsiru ndi ya munthu wanzeru zimasiyana kwambiri. Chitsiru chimayenda ngati munga minga yodzaza ndi zopinga. Mosiyana ndi izi, munthu wanzeru amayenda panjira yosalala, yopanda zopinga, akumwetulira (Miyambo 15:19).

Mtundu wa njira yanga si ngozi. Umadalira zisankho zanga ndi maganizo anga. Ngati nditaya njira za Mulungu, ndi chifukwa chosankha kutsatira chifuniro changa m'malo modalira Ambuye.

Baibulo limatichenjeza kuti: "Mtima wa munthu ukuganiza njira yake, koma Yehova ndiye wolamulira mayendedwe ake" (Miyambo 16:9).

Ngati ndikuona kuti ndikuchoka panjira za Mulungu, sinachedwe kuti ndikonzenso njira yanga. Ndiyenera kuzindikira udindo wanga ndikuvomereza zotsatira za zisankho zanga. Ndiyenera kusiya kuimba mlandu ena ndikuvomereza kuti Ambuye adzandifunsa za njira yanga.

Ndiyenera kudalira Ambuye, kufunafuna nzeru zake ndikutsatira malamulo ake. Ngakhale nditalakwitsa, chikondi ndi chisomo cha Mulungu zilipo kuti zinditsogolere kubwerera panjira yolungama.

Monga momwe wamasalmo ananenera: "Ntsogolereni mapazi anga m’mawu anu, ndipo musalole choipa chilichonse kundilamulira" (Salmo 119:133).

Choncho, poyenda ulendo wanga, ndikuyenera kukumbukira kuti ndine woyang'anira njira yanga. Ndiyenera kusankha mwanzeru ndikukhulupirira Ambuye kuti anditsogolere ku moyo wabwino womwe wandikonzera.

Pakuti munalikusochera ngati nkhosa; koma tsopano mwabwera kwa Mbusa ndi Woyang'anira wa moyo wanu.

Tonse tasochera ngati nkhosa; tonse tayenda yense m'njira ya mwini yekha; ndipo Yehova anaika pa Iye mphulupulu ya ife tonse.

Anapatuka onse; pamodzi anavunda mtima; palibe wakuchita bwino ndi mmodzi yense.

Munthu wosochera panjira ya nzeru adzakhala m'msonkhano wa akufa.

Anthu anga anakhala nkhosa zotayika; abusa ao anazisokeretsa pa mapiri onyenga; achoka kuphiri kunka kuchitunda; aiwala malo ao akupuma.

Nanga muyesa bwanji? Ngati munthu ali nazo nkhosa makumi khumi, ndipo ikasokera imodzi ya izo, kodi saleka zija makumi asanu ndi anai mphambu zisanu ndi zinai, napita kumapiri, kukafuna yosokerayo?

Ndimo akaipeza, indedi ndinena kwa inu, akondwera nayo koposa ndi makumi asanu ndi anai mphambu zisanu ndi zinai zosasokera.

Chomwecho sichili chifuniro cha Atate wanu wa Kumwamba kuti mmodzi wa ang'ono awa atayike.

Munthu ndani wa inu ali nazo nkhosa makumikhumi, ndipo pakutayika imodzi ya izo, sasiya nanga m'chipululu zinazo makumi asanu ndi anai mphambu zisanu ndi zinai, nalondola yotayikayo kufikira aipeza?

Ndipo pamene adaipeza, aisenza pa mapewa ake wokondwera.

Ndipo pakufika kunyumba kwake amema abwenzi ake ndi anansi ake, nanena nao, Kondwerani ndi ine, chifukwa ndinapeza nkhosa yanga yotayikayo.

Ndinena kwa inu, kotero kudzakhala chimwemwe Kumwamba chifukwa cha wochimwa mmodzi wotembenuka mtima, koposa anthu olungama makumi asanu ndi anai mphambu asanu ndi anai, amene alibe kusowa kutembenuka mtima.

Wosunga mwambo ali m'njira ya moyo; koma wosiya chidzudzulo asochera.

Koma Aleviwo anandichokera kunka kutaliwo, posokera Israele, amene anandisokerera ndi kutsata mafano ao, iwowa adzasenza mphulupulu yao.

Pakuti sikutheka kuwakonzanso, atembenuke mtima, iwo amene anaunikidwa pa nthawi yake, nalawa mphatso ya Kumwamba, nakhala olandirana naye Mzimu Woyera,

nalawa mau okoma a Mulungu, ndi mphamvu ya nthawi ilinkudza,

koma anagwa m'chisokero; popeza adzipachikiranso okha Mwana wa Mulungu, namchititsa manyazi poyera.

Chidzakhala cha ansembe opatulidwa a ana a Zadoki, amene anasunga udikiro wanga osasokera, muja anasokera ana a Israele, ndi muja anasokera Alevi.

Pakuti ngati, adatha kuthawa zodetsa za dziko lapansi mwa chizindikiritso cha Ambuye ndi Mpulumutsi Yesu Khristu, akondwanso nazo, nagonjetsedwa, zotsiriza zao zidzaipa koposa zoyambazo.

Pakuti pakadakhala bwino kwa iwo akadakhala osazindikira njira ya chilungamo, ndi poizindikira, kubwerera kutaya lamulo lopatulika lopatsidwa kwa iwo.

Chidawachitikira iwo monga mwa mwambi woona uja, Galu wabwerera kumasanzi ake, ndi nkhumba idasambayi yabwerera kukunkhulira m'thope.

Tsoka kwa iwowa! Pakuti anandizembera; chionongeko kwa iwowa! Pakuti anandilakwira; ndikadawalanditsa Ine, koma anandinenera zabodza.

Ndisanazunzidwe ndinasokera; koma tsopano ndisamalira mau anu.

ndi kukhala nacho chikhulupiriro ndi chikumbumtima chokoma, chimene ena adachikankha, chikhulupiriro chao chidatayika;

kwa Timoteo mwana wanga weniweni m'chikhulupiriro: Chisomo, chifundo, mtendere za kwa Mulungu Atate ndi kwa Khristu Yesu Ambuye wathu.

a iwo ali Himeneo ndi Aleksandro, amene ndawapereka kwa Satana, kuti aphunzire kusalankhula zamwano.

Chifukwa chake onani kukoma mtima ndi kuuma mtima kwake kwa Mulungu: kwa iwo adagwa, kuuma kwake; koma kwa iwe kukoma mtima kwake kwa Mulungu, ngati ukhala chikhalire m'kukoma mtimamo; koma ngati sutero, adzakusadza iwe.

Mtima wako usapatukire kunjira ya mkaziyo, usasochere m'mayendedwe ake.

Momwemo ndinakwiya nao mbadwo uwu, ndipo ndinati, Nthawi zonse amasochera mumtima; koma sanazindikire njira zanga iwowa;

Ndipo pomwepo ambiri adzakhumudwa, nadzaperekana wina ndi mnzake, nadzadana wina ndi mnzake.

Ndipo aneneri onama ambiri adzauka, nadzasokeretsa anthu ambiri.

Ndipo chifukwa cha kuchuluka kwa kusaweruzika, chikondano cha anthu aunyinji chidzazilala.

Koma iye wakulimbika chilimbikire kufikira kuchimaliziro, yemweyo adzapulumuka.

Anatuluka mwa ife, komatu sanali a ife; pakuti akadakhala a ife akadakhalabe ndi ife, koma kudatero kuti aonekere kuti sali onse a ife.

onsewa apatuka, pamodzi akhala opanda pake; palibe mmodzi wakuchita zabwino, inde, palibe mmodzi ndithu.

Abale anga, ngati wina wa inu asochera posiyana ndi choonadi, ndipo ambweza iye mnzake;

Chuma chanu chaola ndi zovala zanu zajiwa ndi njenjete.

azindikire, kuti iye amene abweza wochimwa kunjira yake yosochera adzapulumutsa munthu kwa imfa, ndipo adzavundikira machimo aunyinji.

Abale, ngatinso munthu agwidwa nako kulakwa kwakuti, inu auzimu, mubweze wotereyo mu mzimu wa chifatso; ndi kudzipenyerera wekha, ungayesedwe nawenso.

Koma ngati iwe wachititsa mbale wako chisoni ndi chakudya, pamenepo ulibe kuyendayendanso ndi chikondano. Usamuononga ndi chakudya chako, iye amene Khristu adamfera.

Ngati tivomereza machimo athu, ali wokhulupirika ndi wolungama Iye, kuti atikhululukire machimo athu, ndi kutisambitsa kutichotsera chosalungama chilichonse.

Tapenyani, abale, kuti kapena ukakhale mwa wina wa inu mtima woipa wosakhulupirira, wakulekana ndi Mulungu wamoyo;

komatu dandaulirananani nokha tsiku ndi tsiku, pamene patchedwa, Lero; kuti angaumitsidwe wina wa inu ndi chenjerero la uchimo;

Bwerani, ana inu obwerera, ndidzachiritsa mabwerero anu. Taonani, tadza kwa Inu; pakuti ndinu Yehova Mulungu wathu.

Khristu anatisandutsa mfulu, kuti tikhale mfulu; chifukwa chake chilimikani, musakodwenso ndi goli la ukapolo.

Dziyeseni nokha, ngati muli m'chikhulupiriro, dzitsimikizeni nokha. Kapena simuzindikira kodi za inu nokha kuti Yesu Khristu ali mwa inu? Mukapanda kukhala osatsimikizidwa.

Wobwerera m'mbuyo m'mtima adzakhuta njira yake; koma munthu wabwino adzakhuta za mwa iye yekha.

Pakuti tikachimwa ife eni ake, titatha kulandira chidziwitso cha choonadi, siitsalanso nsembe ya kwa machimo,

Potero kwa iye amene adziwa kuchita bwino, ndipo sachita, kwa iye kuli tchimo.

Khalani odzisungira, dikirani; mdani wanu mdierekezi, monga mkango wobuma, ayendayenda ndi kufunafuna wina akamlikwire:

koma ndinakupempherera kuti chikhulupiriro chako chingazime; ndipo iwe, pamene watembenuka ukhazikitse abale ako.

Ndinati ine, Mundichitire chifundo, Yehova; Chiritsani mtima wanga; pakuti ndachimwira Inu.

Ndinasochera ngati nkhosa yotayika; funani mtumiki wanu; pakuti sindiiwala malamulo anu.

Ndipo Iye ananena kwa onse, Ngati munthu afuna kudza pambuyo panga, adzikanize yekha, nanyamule mtanda wake tsiku ndi tsiku, nanditsate Ine.

Pakuti kudzachita ichi mwaitanidwa; pakutinso Khristu anamva zowawa m'malo mwanu, nakusiyirani chitsanzo kuti mukalondole mapazi ake;

Pakuti, taonani, iwo okhala patali ndi Inu adzaonongeka; muononga onse akupembedza kwina, kosiyana ndi Inu.

Koma ine, kundikomera kuyandikiza kwa Mulungu. Ndimuyesa Ambuye Yehova pothawirapo ine, kuti ndifotokozere ntchito zanu zonse.

Iwonso osochera mumzimu adzadziwa luntha, ndi iwo amene ang'ung'udza adzaphunzitsidwa.

Pakuti kale ifenso tinali opusa, osamvera, onyengeka, akuchitira ukapolo zilakolako ndi zokondweretsa za mitundumitundu, okhala m'dumbo ndi njiru, odanidwa, odana wina ndi mnzake.

Si yense wakunena kwa Ine, Ambuye, Ambuye, adzalowa mu Ufumu wa Kumwamba; koma wakuchitayo chifuniro cha Atate wanga wa Kumwamba.

Ambiri adzati kwa Ine tsiku lomwelo, Ambuye, Ambuye, kodi sitinanenere mau m'dzina lanu, ndi m'dzina lanunso kutulutsa ziwanda, ndi kuchita m'dzina lanunso zamphamvu zambiri?

Ndipo pamenepo ndidzafukulira iwo, Sindinakudziweni inu nthawi zonse; chokani kwa Ine, inu akuchita kusaweruzika.

Munathamanga bwino; anakuletsani ndani kuti musamvere choonadi?

Pakuti idzafika nthawi imene sadzalola chiphunzitso cholamitsa; komatu poyabwa m'khutu adzadziunjikitsa aphunzitsi monga mwa zilakolako za iwo okha:

ndipo adzalubza dala pachoonadi, nadzapatukira kutsata nthano zachabe.

Chifukwa chake iye wakuyesa kuti ali chilili, ayang'anire kuti angagwe.

Pakuti tikachimwa ife eni ake, titatha kulandira chidziwitso cha choonadi, siitsalanso nsembe ya kwa machimo,

koma kulindira kwina koopsa kwa chiweruziro, ndi kutentha kwake kwa moto wakuononga otsutsana nao.

Koma iwo akupatula kutsata njira zao zokhotakhota, Yehova adzawachotsa pamodzi ndi ochita zopanda pake. Mtendere ukhale pa Israele.

Wina akaona mbale wake alikuchimwa tchimo losati la kuimfa, apemphere Mulungu, ndipo Iye adzampatsira moyo wa iwo akuchita machimo osati a kuimfa. Pali tchimo la kuimfa: za ililo sindinena kuti mupemphere.

Pakuti ambiri amayenda, za amene ndinakuuzani kawirikawiri, ndipo tsopanonso ndikuuzani ndi kulira, ali adani a mtanda wa Khristu;

chitsiriziro chao ndicho kuonongeka, mulungu wao ndiyo mimba yao, ulemerero wao uli m'manyazi ao, amene alingirira za padziko.

Zofooka simunazilimbitse; yodwala simunaichiritse, yothyoka simunailukire chika, yopirikitsidwa simunaibweze, yotayika simunaifune; koma munazilamulira mwamphamvu ndi moopsa.

Koma wolungamayo akabwerera kuleka chilungamo chake, nakachita mphulupulu, ndi kuchita monga mwa zonyansa zonse azichita woipa, adzakhala ndi moyo kodi? Nnena chimodzi cha zolungama zake zonse adzazichita chidzakumbukika m'kulakwa kwake analakwa nako, ndi m'kuchimwa kwake anachimwa nako; momwemo adzafa.

Oipa ananditchera msampha; koma sindinasokere m'malangizo anu.

Pakuti ndiwachitira iwo umboni kuti ali ndi changu cha kwa Mulungu, koma si monga mwa chidziwitso.

Iwo akukhala mumdima ndi mu mthunzi wa imfa, omangika ndi kuzunzika ndi chitsulo;

popeza anapikisana nao mau a Mulungu, napeputsa uphungu wa Wam'mwambamwamba;

Iye wosakhala pamodzi ndi Ine akana Ine, ndi iye wosasonkhanitsa pamodzi ndi Ine amwazamwaza.

Mulibe kanthu ndi Khristu, inu amene muyesedwa olungama ndi lamulo; mudagwa posiyana nacho chisomo.

ndiwo amene adasokera kunena za choonadi, ponena kuti kuuka kwa akufa kwachitika kale, napasula chikhulupiriro cha ena.

ndi kuyang'anira kuti pangakhale wina wakuperewera chisomo cha Mulungu, kuti ungapuke muzu wina wa kuwawa mtima ungavute inu, ndipo aunyinji angadetsedwe nao;

koma ndipumpuntha thupi langa, ndipo ndiliyesa kapolo; kuti, kapena ngakhale ndalalikira kwa ena, ndingakhale wotayika ndekha.

Yemwe aumitsa khosi atadzudzulidwa kwambiri, adzasweka modzidzimuka, palibe chomchiritsa.

Ndipo za pathanthwe ndiwo amene, pakumva, alandira mau ndi kukondwera; koma alibe mizu; akhulupirira kanthawi, ndipo pa nthawi ya mayesedwe angopatuka.

Adzatisiyanitsa ndani ndi chikondi cha Khristu? Nsautso kodi, kapena kupsinjika mtima, kapena kuzunza, kapena njala, kapena usiwa, kapena zoopsa kapena lupanga kodi?

Monganso kwalembedwa, Chifukwa cha Inu tilikuphedwa dzuwa lonse; tinayesedwa monga nkhosa zakupha.

Koma m'zonsezi, ife tilakatu, mwa Iye amene anatikonda.

Pakuti ndakopeka mtima kuti ngakhale imfa, ngakhale moyo, ngakhale angelo, ngakhale maufumu, ngakhale zinthu zilipo, ngakhale zinthu zilinkudza, ngakhale zimphamvu,

ngakhale utali, ngakhale kuya, ngakhale cholengedwa china chilichonse, sichingadzakhoze kutisiyanitsa ife ndi chikondi cha Mulungu, chimene chili mwa Khristu Yesu Ambuye wathu.

koma munthu aliyense ayesedwa pamene chilakolako chake cha iye mwini chimkokera, ndikumnyenga.

Pamenepo chilakolakocho chitaima, chibala uchimo; ndipo uchimo, utakula msinkhu, ubala imfa.

Ndipo inu, okhala alendo kale ndi adani m'chifuwa chanu m'ntchito zoipazo,

koma tsopano anakuyanjanitsani m'thupi lake mwa imfayo, kukaimika inu oyera, ndi opanda chilema ndi osatsutsika pamaso pake;

ngatitu, mukhalabe m'chikhulupiriro, ochilimika ndi okhazikika ndi osasunthika kulekana nacho chiyembekezo cha Uthenga Wabwino umene mudaumva, wolalikidwa cholengedwa chonse cha pansi pa thambo; umene ine Paulo ndakhala mtumiki wake.

ndipo mwa inu nokha adzauka anthu, olankhula zokhotakhota, kupatutsa ophunzira awatsate.

Chitsiru chimati mumtima mwake, Kulibe Mulungu. Achita zovunda, achita chosalungama chonyansa; kulibe wakuchita bwino.

Mulungu m'mwamba anaweramira pa ana a anthu, kuti aone ngati aliko wanzeru, wakufuna Mulungu.

Onse anabwerera; anavunda mtima pamodzi; palibe mmodzi wakuchita bwino, nnena mmodzi.

Taonani, mkono wa Yehova sufupika, kuti sungathe kupulumutsa; khutu lake silili logontha, kuti silingamve;

Tiyambasira khoma ngati wakhungu, inde tiyambasa monga iwo opanda maso; tiphunthwa usana monga m'chizirezire; tili m'malo amdima ngati akufa.

Tonse tibangula ngati zilombo, ndi kulira maliro zolimba ngati nkhunda; tiyang'anira chiweruziro koma palibe; tiyang'anira chipulumutso koma chili patali ndi ife.

Pakuti zolakwa zathu zachuluka pamaso pa Inu, ndipo machimo athu atineneza ife; pakuti zolakwa zathu zili ndi ife, ndipo zoipa zathu tizidziwa;

ndizo kulakwabe ndi kukanabe Yehova, ndi kuleka kutsata Mulungu wathu; kulankhula zotsendereza ndi kupanduka, kuganizira ndi kunena pakamwa mau akunyenga otuluka mumtima.

Ndipo chiweruziro chabwerera m'mbuyo, ndi chilungamo chaima patali; pakuti choona chagwa m'khwalala, ndi kuongoka sikungalowe.

Inde choona chisoweka; iye amene asiya choipa, zifunkhidwa zake; ndipo Yehova anaona ichi, ndipo chidamuipira kuti palibe chiweruzo.

Ndipo Iye anaona kuti palibe munthu, nazizwa kuti palibe wopembedzera; chifukwa chake mkono wakewake unadzitengera yekha chipulumutso; ndi chilungamo chake chinamchirikiza.

Ndipo anavala chilungamo monga chida chapachifuwa, ndi chisoti cha chipulumutso pamutu pake; navala zovala zakubwezera chilango, navekedwa ndi changu monga chofunda.

Monga mwa ntchito zao momwemo Iye adzabwezera amaliwongo ake ukali, nadzabwezera adani ake chilango; nadzabwezeranso zisumbu chilango.

Chomwecho iwo adzaopa dzina la Yehova kuchokera kumadzulo, ndi ulemerero wake kumene kutulukira dzuwa; pakuti pamene mdani adzafika ngati chigumula, mzimu wa Yehova udzamkwezera mbendera yomletsa.

koma zoipa zanu zakulekanitsani inu ndi Mulungu wanu; ndipo machimo anu abisa nkhope yake kwa inu, kuti Iye sakumva.

chifukwa Akhristu onama adzauka, ndi aneneri onama nadzaonetsa zizindikiro zazikulu ndi zozizwa: kotero kuti akanyenge, ngati nkotheka, osankhidwa omwe. Onani ndakuuziranitu pasadafike.

Ndipo monga iwo anakana kukhala naye Mulungu m'chidziwitso chao, anawapereka Mulungu kumtima wokanika, kukachita zinthu zosayenera;

Musanyengedwe; mayanjano oipa aipsa makhalidwe okoma.

Okondedwa, musamakhulupirira mzimu uliwonse, koma yesani mizimu ngati ichokera mwa Mulungu: popeza aneneri onyenga ambiri anatuluka kulowa m'dziko lapansi.

Momwemo abale, onjezani kuchita changu kukhazikitsa maitanidwe ndi masankhulidwe anu; pakuti mukachita izi, simudzakhumudwa nthawi zonse;

Agalatiya opusa inu, anakulodzani ndani, inu amene Yesu Khristu anaonetsedwa pamaso panu, wopachikidwa?

Wolungama atsogolera mnzake; koma njira ya oipa iwasokeretsa.

Uziti nao, Pali Ine, ati Ambuye Yehova, sindikondwera nayo imfa ya woipa, koma kuti woipa aleke njira yake, nakhale ndi moyo; bwererani, bwererani, kuleka njira zanu zoipa, muferenji inu nyumba ya Israele?

Koma kupasula kwa olakwa ndi kwa ochimwa kudzakhala kumodzi, ndi iwo amene asiya Yehova adzathedwa.

Kodi simudziwa kuti kwa iye amene mudzipereka eni nokha kukhala akapolo ake akumvera iye, mukhalatu akapolo ake a yemweyo mulikumvera iye; kapena a uchimo kulinga kuimfa, kapena a umvero kulinga kuchilungamo?

Ndipo ngati munthu wolungama apulumuka ndi kuyesetsa kokhakokha, munthu wosapembedza ndi wochimwa adzaoneka kuti?

Ndipo ponyani kapoloyo wopanda pake kumdima wakunja; kumene kudzakhala kulira ndi kukukuta mano.

Koma apemphe ndi chikhulupiriro, wosakayika konse; pakuti wokayikayo afanana ndi funde la nyanja lotengeka ndi mphepo ndi kuwinduka nayo.

Pakuti asayese munthu uyu kuti adzalandira kanthu kwa Ambuye;

munthu wa mitima iwiri akhala wosinkhasinkha panjira zake zonse.

Chifukwa chake monga momwe munalandira Khristu Yesu Ambuye, muyende mwa Iye,

ozika mizu ndi omangiririka mwa Iye, ndi okhazikika m'chikhulupiriro, monga munaphunzitsidwa, ndi kuchulukitsa chiyamiko.

Penyani kuti pasakhale wina wakulanda inu ngati chuma, mwa kukonda nzeru kwake, ndi chinyengo chopanda pake, potsata mwambo wa anthu, potsata zoyamba za dziko lapansi, osati potsata Khristu;

Ndipo ntchito za thupi zionekera, ndizo dama, chodetsa, kukhumba zonyansa,

Taonani, ine Paulo ndinena ndi inu, kuti, ngati mulola akuduleni, Khristu simudzapindula naye kanthu.

kupembedza mafano, nyanga, madano, ndeu, kaduka, zopsa mtima, zotetana, magawano, mipatuko,

njiru, kuledzera, mchezo, ndi zina zotere; zimene ndikuchenjezani nazo, monga ndachita, kuti iwo akuchitachita zotere sadzalowa Ufumu wa Mulungu.

Koma zindikira ichi, kuti masiku otsiriza zidzafika nthawi zowawitsa.

Koma iwe watsatatsata chiphunzitso changa, mayendedwe, chitsimikizo mtima, chikhulupiriro, kuleza mtima, chikondi, chipiriro,

mazunzo, kumva zowawa; zotere zonga anandichitira mu Antiokeya, mu Ikonio, mu Listara, mazunzo otere onga ndawamva; ndipo m'zonsezi Ambuye anandilanditsa.

Ndipo onse akufuna kukhala opembedza m'moyo mwa Khristu Yesu, adzamva mazunzo.

Koma anthu oipa ndi onyenga, adzaipa chiipire, kusokeretsa ndi kusokeretsedwa.

Koma ukhalebe iwe mu izi zimene waziphunzira, nutsimikizika mtima nazo, podziwa amene adakuphunzitsa;

ndi kuti kuyambira ukhanda wako wadziwa malembo opatulika, okhoza kukupatsa nzeru kufikira chipulumutso, mwa chikhulupiriro cha mwa Khristu Yesu.

Lemba lililonse adaliuzira Mulungu, ndipo lipindulitsa pa chiphunzitso, chitsutsano, chikonzero, chilangizo cha m'chilungamo:

kuti munthu wa Mulungu akhale woyenera, wokonzeka kuchita ntchito iliyonse yabwino.

Pakuti anthu adzakhala odzikonda okha, okonda ndalama, odzitamandira, odzikuza, amwano, osamvera akuwabala, osayamika,

osayera mtima, opanda chikondi chachibadwidwe, osayanjanitsika, akudierekeza, osakhoza kudziletsa, aukali, osakonda abwino,

achiwembu, aliuma olimbirira, otukumuka mtima, okonda zokondweretsa munthu, osati okonda Mulungu;

akukhala nao maonekedwe a chipembedzo, koma mphamvu yake adaikana; kwa iwonso udzipatule.

Chifukwa chake, monga uchimo unalowa m'dziko lapansi mwa munthu mmodzi, ndi imfa mwa uchimo; chotero imfa inafikira anthu onse, chifukwa kuti onse anachimwa.

Ndinasumwa kwakukulu, chifukwa cha oipa akusiya chilamulo chanu.

Ilipo njira yooneka kwa mwamuna ngati yoongoka; koma matsiriziro ake ndi njira za imfa.

Pakuti kuyenera kuti pakhale mipatuko mwa inu, kuti iwo ovomerezedwa aonetsedwe mwa inu.

pakuti onse anachimwa, naperewera pa ulemerero wa Mulungu;

Koma Mzimu anena monenetsa, kuti m'masiku otsiriza ena adzataya chikhulupiriro, ndi kusamala mizimu yosocheretsa ndi maphunziro a ziwanda,

Mwa ichi tiyenera kusamaliradi zimene tidazimvazi kuti kapena tingatengedwe ndi kusiyana nazo.

Mwala umene omangawo anaukana wakhala mutu wa pangodya.

Ichi chidzera kwa Yehova; nchodabwitsa ichi pamaso pathu.

Koma padakhalanso pakati pa anthuwo aneneri onama, monganso padzakhala aphunzitsi onama pakati pa inu, amene adzalowa nayo m'tseri mipatuko yotayikitsa, nadzakana Ambuye amene adawagula, nadzadzitengera iwo okha chitayiko chakudza msanga.

Koma yense amene adzandikana Ine pamaso pa anthu, Inenso ndidzamkana iye pamaso pa Atate wanga wa Kumwamba.

Chotupitsa pang'ono chitupitsa mtanda wonse.

pakuti ngati Mulungu sanaleke nthambi za mtundu wake, inde sadzakuleka iwe.

Chifukwa chake onani kukoma mtima ndi kuuma mtima kwake kwa Mulungu: kwa iwo adagwa, kuuma kwake; koma kwa iwe kukoma mtima kwake kwa Mulungu, ngati ukhala chikhalire m'kukoma mtimamo; koma ngati sutero, adzakusadza iwe.

Chifukwa chake ndidzakuweruzani inu, nyumba ya Israele, yense monga mwa njira zake, ati Ambuye Yehova. Bwererani, nimutembenukire kuleka zolakwa zanu zonse, ndipo simudzakhumudwa nazo, ndi kuonongeka nayo mphulupulu.

Tayani, ndi kudzichotsera zolakwa zanu zonse zimene munalakwa nazo, ndi kudzifunira mtima watsopano, ndi mzimu watsopano; pakuti mudzaferanji inu, nyumba ya Israele?

Pakuti sindikondwera nayo imfa ya wakufayo, ati Ambuye Yehova; chifukwa chake bwererani, nimukhale ndi moyo.

Akadandithera padziko lapansi; koma ine sindinasiye malangizo anu.

Akazi achigololo inu, kodi simudziwa kuti ubwenzi wa dziko lapansi uli udani ndi Mulungu? Potero, iye amene afuna kukhala bwenzi la dziko lapansi adziika mdani wa Mulungu.

M'menemo aoneka ana a Mulungu, ndi ana a mdierekezi: yense wosachita chilungamo siali wochokera mwa Mulungu; ndi iye wosakonda mbale wake.

Potero musataye kulimbika kwanu, kumene kuli nacho chobwezera mphotho chachikulu.

Pakuti chikusowani chipiriro, kuti pamene mwachita chifuniro cha Mulungu, mukalandire lonjezano.

Ngati ntchito ya wina itenthedwa, zidzaonongeka zake; koma iye yekha adzapulumutsidwa; koma monga momwe mwa moto.

Chokhachi, mayendedwe anu ayenere Uthenga Wabwino wa Khristu: kuti, ndingakhale nditi ndilinkudza ndi kuona inu, ndingakhale nditi ndili kwina, ndikamva za kwa inu, kuti muchilimika mu mzimu umodzi, ndi kugwirira pamodzi ndi moyo umodzi chikhulupiriro cha Uthenga Wabwino;

osaopa adani m'kanthu konse, chimene chili kwa iwowa chisonyezo cha chionongeko, koma kwa inu cha chipulumutso, ndicho cha kwa Mulungu;

Lowani pa chipata chopapatiza; chifukwa chipata chili chachikulu, ndi njira yakumuka nayo kukuonongeka ili yotakata; ndipo ali ambiri amene alowa pa icho.

Pakuti chipata chili chopapatiza, ndi ichepetsa njirayo yakumuka nayo kumoyo, ndimo akuchipeza chimenecho ali owerengeka.

Mundilanditse kwa ochita zopanda pake, ndipo ndipulumutseni kwa anthu olira mwazi.

Chifukwa chake tsopano iwo akukhala mwa Khristu Yesu alibe kutsutsidwa.

koma tsopano, podziwa Mulungu inu, koma makamaka podziwika ndi Mulungu, mubwereranso bwanji kutsata miyambo yofooka ndi yaumphawi, imene mufuna kubwerezanso kuichitira ukapolo?

Sindinapatukane nao maweruzo anu; pakuti Inu munandiphunzitsa.

Pakuti muzu wa zoipa zonse ndiwo chikondi cha pa ndalama; chimene ena pochikhumba, anasochera, nataya chikhulupiriro, nadzipyoza ndi zowawa zambiri.

Inu, tsono, okondedwa, pozizindikiratu izi, chenjerani, kuti potengedwa ndi kulakwa kwa iwo osaweruzika, mungagwe kusiya chikhazikiko chanu.

Ndani iwe wakuweruza mnyamata wa mwini wake? Iye aimirira kapena kugwa kwa mbuye wake wa mwini yekha. Ndipo adzaimiritsidwa; pakuti Ambuye ali wamphamvu kumuimiritsa.

Munthu wina aganizira kuti tsiku lina liposa linzake; wina aganizira kuti masiku onse alingana. Munthu aliyense akhazikike konse mumtima mwake.

Pamenepo Yesu ananena kwa iwo, Inu nonse mudzakhumudwa chifukwa cha Ine usiku uno; pakuti kwalembedwa, Ndidzakantha mbusa, ndipo zidzabalalika nkhosa za gulu.

Wodala munthuyo wakuyesa Yehova wokhulupirika; wosasamala odzikuza, ndi opatukira kubodza.

mbuye wa kapolo uyo adzafika tsiku lakuti samuyembekezera, ndi nthawi yakuti saidziwa, nadzamdula iye pakati nadzamuika dera lake pamodzi ndi anthu osakhulupirira.

ndipo tiganizirane wina ndi mnzake kuti tifulumizane ku chikondano ndi ntchito zabwino,

osaleka kusonkhana kwathu pamodzi, monga amachita ena, komatu tidandaulirane, ndiko koposa monga momwe muona tsiku lilikuyandika.

Musakonde dziko lapansi, kapena za m'dziko lapansi. Ngati wina akonda dziko lapansi, chikondi cha Atate sichili mwa iye.

Pakuti chilichonse cha m'dziko lapansi, chilakolako cha thupi ndi chilakolako cha maso, matamandidwe a moyo, sizichokera kwa Atate, koma kudziko lapansi.

Ndipo dziko lapansi lipita, ndi chilakolako chake; koma iye amene achita chifuniro cha Mulungu akhala kunthawi yonse.

Wopanduka afunafuna chifuniro chake, nakangana ndi nzeru yonse yeniyeni.

Ndipo kapena udzanena, Nthambizo zathyoledwa kuti ine ndikalumikizidwe nao.

Mulungu sanataye anthu ake amene Iye anawadziwiratu. Kapena simudziwa kodi chimene lembo linena za Eliya? Kuti anaumirira Mulungu poneneza Israele, kuti,

Chabwino; iwo anathyoledwa ndi kusakhulupirira kwao, ndipo iwe umaima ndi chikhulupiriro chako. Usamadzikuza mumtima, koma opatu:

Ndizizwa kuti msanga motere mulikupatuka kwa iye amene anakuitanani m'chisomo cha Khristu, kutsata Uthenga Wabwino wina;

umene suli wina; koma pali ena akuvuta inu, nafuna kuipsa Uthenga Wabwino wa Khristu.

Yesu, ameneyo, chifukwa cha chimwemwe choikidwacho pamaso pake, anapirira mtanda, nanyoza manyazi, nakhala padzanja lamanja la mpando wachifumu wa Mulungu.

Odzikuza anandinyoza kwambiri: koma sindinapatukanso nacho chilamulo chanu.

Kodi simudziwa kuti iwo akuchita makani a liwiro, athamangadi onse, koma mmodzi alandira mfupo? Motero thamangani, kuti mukalandire.

Koma yense wakuyesetsana adzikanizira zonse. Ndipo iwowa atero kuti alandire korona wakuvunda; koma ife wosavunda.

Chifukwa chake ine ndithamanga chotero, si monga chosinkhasinkha. Ndilimbana chotero, si monga ngati kupanda mlengalenga;

koma ndipumpuntha thupi langa, ndipo ndiliyesa kapolo; kuti, kapena ngakhale ndalalikira kwa ena, ndingakhale wotayika ndekha.

Palibe munthu angathe kukhala kapolo wa ambuye awiri: pakuti pena adzamuda mmodziyo, ndi kukonda winayo; pena adzakangamira kwa mmodzi, nadzanyoza wina. Simungathe kukhala kapolo wa Mulungu ndi wa Chuma.

Ndipo ine, pakutenga nkhawa, ndinati, Ndadulidwa kundichotsa pamaso panu. Komatu munamva mau a kupemba kwanga pamene ndinafuulira kwa Inu.

Musanyengedwe; Mulungu sanyozeka; pakuti chimene munthu achifesa, chimenenso adzachituta.

Tikati kuti tiyanjana ndi Iye, ndipo tiyenda mumdima, tinama, ndipo sitichita choonadi;

koma ngati tiyenda m'kuunika, monga Iye ali m'kuunika, tiyanjana wina ndi mnzake, ndipo mwazi wa Yesu Mwana wake utisambitsa kutichotsera uchimo wonse.

Phunzitsa mwana poyamba njira yake; ndipo angakhale atakalamba sadzachokamo.

azindikire, kuti iye amene abweza wochimwa kunjira yake yosochera adzapulumutsa munthu kwa imfa, ndipo adzavundikira machimo aunyinji.

Pakuti Uthenga Wabwino sundichititsa manyazi; pakuti uli mphamvu ya Mulungu yakupulumutsa munthu aliyense wakukhulupirira; kuyambira Myuda, ndiponso Mgriki.

ndi kuwaphunzitsa, asunge zinthu zonse zimene ndinakulamulani inu; ndipo onani, Ine ndili pamodzi ndi inu masiku onse, kufikira chimaliziro cha nthawi ya pansi pano.

Mulungu akhala kwa ife Mulungu wa chipulumutso; ndipo Yehova Ambuye ali nazo zopulumutsira kuimfa.

Chifukwa chake ngati munaukitsidwa pamodzi ndi Khristu, funani zakumwamba, kumene kuli Khristu wokhala padzanja lamanja la Mulungu.

ndipo munavala watsopano, amene alikukonzeka watsopano, kuti akhale nacho chizindikiritso, monga mwa chifaniziro cha Iye amene anamlenga iye;

pamene palibe Mgriki ndi Ayuda, mdulidwe ndi kusadulidwa, watchedwa wakunja, Msukuti, kapolo, mfulu, komatu Khristu ndiye zonse, ndi m'zonse.

Chifukwa chake valani, monga osankhika a Mulungu, oyera mtima ndi okondedwa, mtima wachifundo, kukoma mtima, kudzichepetsa, chifatso, kuleza mtima;

kulolerana wina ndi mnzake, ndi kukhululukirana eni okha, ngati wina ali nacho chifukwa pa mnzake; monganso Ambuye anakhululukira inu, teroni inunso;

koma koposa izi zonse khalani nacho chikondano, ndicho chomangira cha mtima wamphumphu.

Ndipo mtendere wa Khristu uchite ufumu m'mitima yanu, kulingakonso munaitanidwa m'thupi limodzi; ndipo khalani akuyamika.

Mau a Khristu akhalitse mwa inu chichulukire mu nzeru yonse, ndi kuphunzitsa ndi kuyambirirana eni okha ndi masalimo, ndi mayamiko ndi nyimbo zauzimu, ndi kuimbira Mulungu ndi chisomo mumtima mwanu.

Ndipo chilichonse mukachichita m'mau kapena muntchito, chitani zonse m'dzina la Ambuye Yesu, ndi kuyamika Mulungu Atate mwa Iye.

Akazi inu, muzimvera amuna anu, monga kuyenera mwa Ambuye.

Amuna inu, kondani akazi anu, ndipo musawawire mtima iwo.

Lingalirani zakumwamba osati za padziko ai.

monga ana omvera osadzifanizitsanso ndi zilakolako zakale, pokhala osadziwa inu;

komatu monga Iye wakuitana inu ali woyera mtima, khalani inunso oyera mtima m'makhalidwe anu onse;

popeza kwalembedwa, Muzikhala oyera mtima, pakuti Ine ndine woyera mtima.

Koma ndinena, Muyendeyende ndi Mzimu, ndipo musafitse chilakolako cha thupi.

Pakuti thupi lilakalaka potsutsana naye Mzimu, ndi Mzimu potsutsana nalo thupi; pakuti izi sizilingana; kuti zimene muzifuna musazichite.

Ngati Mzimu akutsogolerani, simuli omvera lamulo.

Kumbukirani mkazi wa Loti.

Pakuti pakusadziwa chilungamo cha Mulungu, ndipo pofuna kukhazikitsa chilungamo cha iwo okha, iwo sanagonje ku chilungamo cha Mulungu.

Wodala munthuyo wosayenda mu uphungu wa oipa, kapena wosaimirira m'njira ya ochimwa, kapena wosakhala pansi pa bwalo la onyoza.

Komatu m'chilamulo cha Yehova muli chikondwerero chake; ndipo m'chilamulo chake amalingirira usana ndi usiku.

Pakuti atero Iye amene ali wamtali wotukulidwa, amene akhala mwachikhalire, amene dzina lake ndiye Woyera, Ndikhala m'malo aatali ndi oyera, pamodzi ndi yense amene ali wa mzimu wosweka ndi wodzichepetsa, kutsitsimutsa mzimu wa odzichepetsa, ndi kutsitsimutsa mtima wa osweka.

Choteronso nthawi yatsopano chilipo chotsalira monga mwa kusankha kwa chisomo.

Koma ngati kuli ndi chisomo, sikulinso ndi ntchito ai; ndipo pakapanda kutero, chisomo sichikhalanso chisomo.

Chinjiriza mtima wako koposa zonse uzisunga; pakuti magwero a moyo atulukamo.

Mwa ichi limbitsani manja ogooka, ndi maondo olobodoka;

ndipo lambulani miseu yolunjika yoyendamo mapazi anu, kuti chotsimphinacho chisapatulidwe m'njira, koma chichiritsidwe.

Sanaononga mitunduyo ya anthu, imene Yehova adawauza;

koma anasokonekerana nao amitundu, naphunzira ntchito zao:

ameneyo mumkanize okhazikika m'chikhulupiriro, podziwa kuti zowawa zomwezo zilimkukwaniridwa pa abale anu ali m'dziko.

Munthu poyesedwa, asanena, Ndiyesedwa ndi Mulungu; pakuti Mulungu sangathe kuyesedwa ndi zoipa, ndipo Iye mwini sayesa munthu:

koma munthu aliyense ayesedwa pamene chilakolako chake cha iye mwini chimkokera, ndikumnyenga.

Pamenepo chilakolakocho chitaima, chibala uchimo; ndipo uchimo, utakula msinkhu, ubala imfa.

Pakuti mphotho yake ya uchimo ndi imfa; koma mphatso yaulere ya Mulungu ndiyo moyo wosatha wa mwa Khristu Yesu Ambuye wathu.

Ndinakufunani ndi mtima wanga wonse; ndisasokere kusiyana nao malamulo anu.

Ndipo chifukwa cha kuchuluka kwa kusaweruzika, chikondano cha anthu aunyinji chidzazilala.

Koma iye wakulimbika chilimbikire kufikira kuchimaliziro, yemweyo adzapulumuka.

Pakuti adzidyoletsa yekha m'kuona kwake, kuti anthu sadzachipeza choipa chake ndi kukwiya nacho.

Wodala munthu wakuopa kosalekeza; koma woumitsa mtima wake adzagwa m'zoipa.

Pakuti iye wakusowa izi ali wakhungu, wa chimbuuzi, woiwala matsukidwe ake potaya zoipa zake zakale.

Popeza tsono tayesedwa olungama ndi chikhulupiriro, tikhala ndi mtendere ndi Mulungu mwa Ambuye wathu Yesu Khristu;

Pakuti ngati, pokhala ife adani ake, tinayanjanitsidwa ndi Mulungu mwa imfa ya Mwana wake, makamaka ndithu, popeza ife tayanjanitsidwa, tidzapulumuka ndi moyo wake.

Ndipo si chotero chokha, koma ife tikondwera ndi Mulungu mwa Ambuye wathu Yesu Khristu, amene talandira naye tsopano chiyanjanitso.

Chifukwa chake, monga uchimo unalowa m'dziko lapansi mwa munthu mmodzi, ndi imfa mwa uchimo; chotero imfa inafikira anthu onse, chifukwa kuti onse anachimwa.

Pakuti kufikira nthawi ya lamulo uchimo unali m'dziko lapansi; koma uchimo suwerengedwa popanda lamulo.

Komatu imfa inachita ufumu kuyambira kwa Adamu kufikira kwa Mose, ngakhale pa iwonso amene sanachimwe monga machimwidwe ake a Adamu, ndiye fanizo la wakudzayo.

Koma mphatso yaulere siilingana ndi kulakwa. Pakuti ngati ambiriwo anafa chifukwa cha kulakwa kwa mmodziyo, makamaka ndithu chisomo cha Mulungu, ndi mphatso yaulere zakuchokera ndi munthu mmodziyo Yesu Khristu, zinachulukira anthu ambiri.

Ndipo mphatso siinadze monga mwa mmodzi wakuchimwa, pakuti mlandu ndithu unachokera kwa munthu mmodzi kufikira kutitsutsa, koma mphatso yaulere ichokera ku zolakwa zambiri kufikira kutiyesa olungama.

Pakuti ngati, ndi kulakwa kwa mmodzi, imfa inachita ufumu mwa mmodziyo; makamaka ndithu amene akulandira kuchuluka kwake kwa chisomo ndi kwa mphatso ya chilungamo, adzachita ufumu m'moyo mwa mmodzi, ndiye Yesu Khristu.

Chifukwa chake, monga mwa kulakwa kumodzi kutsutsa kunafikira anthu onse; chomwechonso mwa chilungamitso chimodzi chilungamo cha moyo chinafikira anthu onse.

Pakuti monga ndi kusamvera kwa munthu mmodzi ambiri anayesedwa ochimwa, chomwecho ndi kumvera kwa mmodzi ambiri adzayesedwa olungama.

amene ife tikhoza kulowa naye ndi chikhulupiriro m'chisomo ichi m'mene tilikuimamo; ndipo tikondwera m'chiyembekezo cha ulemerero wa Mulungu.

Mundionetse njira yanu, Yehova; ndidzayenda m'choonadi chanu, muumbe mtima wanga ukhale umodzi kuti uliope dzina lanu.

Ndipo ntchito za thupi zionekera, ndizo dama, chodetsa, kukhumba zonyansa,

Pakuti ndinena ndi inu, ngati chilungamo chanu sichichuluka choposa cha alembi ndi Afarisi, simudzalowa konse mu Ufumu wa Kumwamba.

Chifukwa chake tinaikidwa m'manda pamodzi ndi Iye mwa ubatizo kulowa muimfa; kuti monga Khristu anaukitsidwa kwa akufa mwa ulemerero wa Atate, chotero ifenso tikayende m'moyo watsopano.

Ndidziwa kuti maweruzo anu ndiwo olungama, Yehova, ndi kuti munandizunza ine mokhulupirika.

Gula ntheradi, osaigulitsa; nzeru, ndi mwambo, ndi luntha.

woipa asiye njira yake, ndi munthu wosalungama asiye maganizo ake, nabwere kwa Yehova; ndipo Yehova adzamchitira chifundo; ndi kwa Mulungu wathu, pakuti Iye adzakhululukira koposa.

koma chitsirizo cha chilamuliro ndicho chikondi chochokera mu mtima woyera ndi m'chikumbu mtima chokoma ndi chikhulupiriro chosanyenga;

Pemphero kwa Mulungu
