100 Mau a Mulungu Okhudza Zovala
Ambiri aife timathera nthawi yambiri tikusamalira maonekedwe athu akunja, tifuna kuoneka okongola, koma timanyalanyaza mkati mwathu. Pakati pa kudzikuza ndi moyo wothamanga, anthu ambiri amatanganidwa ndi zovala zamakono, koma aiwala zofunika kwambiri: mkati mwawo.
Baibulo, mu Aefeso 4:24, limati: “Muvale umunthu watsopano, wolengedwa m’chifanizo cha Mulungu mu chilungamo chenicheni ndi chiyero.” Mulungu sakonda kuti uzikongoletsa thupi lako lokha, koma mzimu wako ukhale wauve. Sakufuna kuti uvale zinthu zosayera ndi zosayenera.
Pakali pano, Mzimu Woyera akukuitanira kuti uvale chiyero. Pamene walandira Yesu mumtima mwako, uyenera kuyesetsa kwambiri kusunga chipulumutso chako kudzera mu chiyero, chifukwa popanda chiyero sungamuone Yesu.
Taya chilichonse chodetsa mzimu wako, chilichonse choipa, chilichonse chomwe chimakhumudwitsa Mzimu Woyera ndikukulekanitsa ndi Iye. Mulungu sakufuna kuti moyo wako utaike. Konza moyo wako ndi Yesu tsopano, ndipo chovala chako chabwino kwambiri chikhale chiyero.
Amene kukometsera kwanu kusakhale kwa kunja, kuluka tsitsi ndi kuvala za golide, kapena kuvala chovala;
koma kukhale munthu wobisika wamtima, m'chovala chosaola cha mzimu wofatsa ndi wachete, ndiwo wa mtengo wake wapatali pamaso pa Mulungu.
Chifukwa chake valani, monga osankhika a Mulungu, oyera mtima ndi okondedwa, mtima wachifundo, kukoma mtima, kudzichepetsa, chifatso, kuleza mtima;
nimuvale munthu watsopano, amene analengedwa monga mwa Mulungu, m'chilungamo, ndi m'chiyero cha choonadi.
Iye amene apambana adzamveka motero zovala zoyera; ndipo sindidzafafaniza ndithu dzina lake m'buku la moyo, ndipo ndidzamvomereza dzina lake pamaso pa Atate wanga, ndi pamaso pa angelo ake.
Ndidzakondwa kwambiri mwa Yehova, moyo wanga udzakondwerera mwa Mulungu wanga; pakuti Iye wandiveka ine ndi zovala za chipulumutso, nandifunda chofunda cha chilungamo, monga mkwati avala nduwira, ndi monga mkwatibwi adzikometsa yekha ndi miyala yamtengo.
Ndipo zovala azisoka ndi izi: chapachifuwa ndi efodi, ndi mwinjiro, ndi malaya opikapika, ndi nduwira, ndi mpango; tero apangire Aroni mbale wako ndi ana ake zovala zopatulika, kuti andichitire Ine ntchito ya nsembe.
Ndipo muderanji nkhawa ndi chovala? Tapenyetsani maluwa akuthengo, makulidwe ao; sagwiritsa ntchito, kapena sapota:
koma ndinena kwa inu, kuti angakhale Solomoni mu ulemerero wake wonse sanavale monga limodzi la amenewa.
Koma iwe popatsa mphatso zachifundo, dzanja lako lamanzere lisadziwe chimene lichita dzanja lako lamanja;
Koma ngati Mulungu aveka chotero udzu wakuthengo, ukhala lero, ndi mawa uponyedwa pamoto, nanga si inu kopambana ndithu, inu akukhulupirira pang'ono?
Ukati ulandire chikole kaya chovala cha mnansi wako, koma polowa dzuwa uchibwezere kwa iye;
popeza chofunda chake ndi ichi chokha, ndicho chovala cha pathupi pake; azifundira chiyani pogona? Ndipo kudzakhala kuti akandifuulira Ine, ndidzamva; pakuti Ine ndine wachisomo.
Muzisunga malemba anga. Usamalola zoweta zako za mitundu yosiyana zikwerane; usamabzala m'munda mwako mbeu za mitundu iwiri; usamavala chovala cha nsalu za mitundu iwiri zosokonezana.
Lemekeza Yehova, moyo wanga; Yehova, Mulungu wanga, Inu ndinu wamkulukulu;
Atumiza akasupe alowe m'makwawa; ayenda pakati pa mapiri:
Zimamwamo nyama zonse zakuthengo; mbidzi zipherako ludzu lao.
Mbalame za mlengalenga zifatsa pamenepo, zimaimba pakati pa mitawi.
Iye amwetsa mapiri mochokera m'zipinda zake: Dziko lakhuta zipatso za ntchito zanu.
Ameretsa msipu ziudye ng'ombe, ndi zitsamba achite nazo munthu; natulutse chakudya chochokera m'nthaka;
ndi vinyo wokondweretsa mtima wa munthu, ndi mafuta akunyezimiritsa nkhope yake, ndi mkate wakulimbitsa mtima wa munthu.
Mitengo ya Yehova yadzala ndi madzi; mikungudza ya ku Lebanoni imene anaioka;
m'mwemo mbalame zimanga zisa zao; pokhala chumba mpa mitengo ya mikungudza.
Mapiri aatali ndiwo ayenera zinkhoma; pamatanthwe mpothawirapo mbira.
Anaika mwezi nyengo zake; dzuwa lidziwa polowera pake.
muvala ulemu ndi chifumu. Amene mudzikuta nako kuunika monga ndi chovala; ndi kuyala thambo ngati nsalu yotchinga.
Kapena sayatsa nyali, ndi kuivundikira m'mbiya, koma aiika iyo pa choikapo chake; ndipo iunikira onse ali m'nyumbamo.
Koma ngati mkazi aweta tsitsi, kuli ulemerero kwa iye; pakuti tsitsi lake lapatsidwa kwa iye ngati chophimba.
Ndipo ansembe ake ndidzawaveka ndi chipulumutso: Ndi okondedwa ake adzafuulitsa mokondwera.
Avale malaya a m'kati a bafuta wopatulika, nakhale nazo zovala za kumiyendo pathupi pake, nadzimangire m'chuuno ndi mpango wabafuta, navale nduwira yabafuta; izi ndi zovala zopatulika; potero asambe thupi lake ndi madzi, ndi kuvala izi.
Abale anga, pakuti muli nacho chikhulupiriro cha Ambuye wathu Yesu Khristu, Ambuye wa ulemerero, musakhale okondera ndi kusamala maonekedwe.
Pakuti aliyense amene angasunge malamulo onse, koma akakhumudwa pa limodzi, iyeyu wachimwira onse.
Pakuti Iye wakuti, Usachite chigololo, anatinso, Usaphe. Ndipo ukapanda kuchita chigololo, koma ukapha, wakhala wolakwira lamulo.
Lankhulani motero, ndipo chitani motero, monga anthu amene adzaweruzidwa ndi lamulo la ufulu.
Pakuti chiweruziro chilibe chifundo kwa iye amene sanachite chifundo; chifundo chidzitamandira kutsutsana nacho chiweruziro.
Chipindulo chake nchiyani, abale anga, munthu akanena, Ndili nacho chikhulupiriro, koma alibe ntchito? Kodi chikhulupirirocho chikhoza kumpulumutsa?
Mbale kapena mlongo akakhala wausiwa, ndi kusowa chakudya cha tsiku lake,
ndipo wina wa inu akanena nao, Mukani ndi mtendere, mukafunde ndi kukhuta; osawapatsa iwo zosowa za pathupi; kupindula kwake nchiyani?
Momwemonso chikhulupiriro, chikapanda kukhala nacho ntchito, chikhala chakufa m'kati mwakemo.
Koma wina akati, Iwe uli nacho chikhulupiriro, ndipo ine ndili nazo ntchito; undionetse ine chikhulupiriro chako chopanda ntchito zako, ndipo ine ndidzakuonetsa iwe chikhulupiriro changa chotuluka m'ntchito zanga.
Ukhulupirira iwe kuti Mulungu ali mmodzi; uchita bwino; ziwanda zikhulupiriranso, ndipo zinthunthumira.
Pakuti akalowa m'sunagoge mwanu munthu wovala mphete yagolide, ndi chovala chokometsetsa, ndipo akalowanso munthu wosauka ndi chovala chodetsa;
Koma ufuna kuzindikira kodi, munthu wopanda pake iwe, kuti chikhulupiriro chopanda ntchito chili chabe?
Abrahamu kholo lathu, sanayesedwe wolungama ndi ntchito kodi, paja adapereka mwana wake Isaki nsembe paguwa la nsembe?
Upenya kuti chikhulupiriro chidachita pamodzi ndi ntchito zake, ndipo motuluka mwa ntchito chikhulupiriro chidayesedwa changwiro;
ndipo anakwaniridwa malembo onenawa, Ndipo Abrahamu anakhulupirira Mulungu, ndipo kudawerengedwa kwa iye chilungamo; ndipo anatchedwa bwenzi la Mulungu.
Mupenya kuti munthu ayesedwa wolungama ndi ntchito yake, osati ndi chikhulupiriro chokha.
Ndipo momwemonso sanayesedwe wolungama Rahabu mkazi wa damayo ndi ntchito kodi, popeza adalandira amithenga, nawatulutsa adzere njira ina?
Pakuti monga thupi lopanda mzimu lili lakufa, koteronso chikhulupiriro chopanda ntchito chili chakufa.
ndipo mukapenyerera iye wovala chokometsetsa, nimukati naye, Inu mukhale apa pabwino; ndipo mukati kwa wosaukayo, Iwe, imauko, kapena, khala pansi pa mpando wa mapazi anga;
kodi simunasiyanitse mwa inu nokha, ndi kukhala oweruza oganizira zoipa?
Komanso Yehova ati, Chifukwa kuti ana aakazi a Ziyoni angodzikuza atakweza makosi ao, ndi maso ao adama nayenda nanyang'ama poyenda pao naliza zigwinjiri za mapazi ao;
chifukwa chake Ambuye adzachita nkanambo pa liwombo la ana aakazi a Ziyoni, ndipo Yehova adzavundukula m'chuuno mwao.
Tsiku limenelo Ambuye adzachotsa zigwinjiri zao zokoma, ndi zitunga, ndi mphande;
mbera, ndi makoza, ndi nsalu za pankhope;
munthu wamphamvu, ndi munthu wankhondo; woweruza ndi mneneri, ndi waula, ndi nkhalamba;
ndi zisada, ndi maunyolo a kumwendo, ndi mipango, ndi nsupa zonunkhira, ndi mphinjiri;
mphete, ndi zipini;
malaya a paphwando, ndi zofunda, ndi zimbwi, ndi timatumba;
akalirole, ndi nsalu zabafuta, ndi nduwira, ndi zophimba.
Ndipo padzakhala m'malo mwa zonunkhiritsa mudzakhala zovunda; ndi m'malo mwa lamba chingwe; ndipo m'malo mwa tsitsi labwino dazi; m'malo mwa chovala chapachifuwa mpango wachiguduli; zipsera m'malo mwa ukoma.
Momwemonso, anyamata inu, mverani akulu. Koma nonsenu muvale kudzichepetsa kuti mutumikirane; pakuti Mulungu akaniza odzikuza, koma apatsa chisomo kwa odzichepetsa.
Ndipo upange golide waphanthiphanthi woona, ndi kulochapo, monga malochedwe a chosindikizira, Kupatulikira Yehova.
Musanyengedwe; Mulungu sanyozeka; pakuti chimene munthu achifesa, chimenenso adzachituta.
Ndipo musafanizidwe ndi makhalidwe a pansi pano: koma mukhale osandulika, mwa kukonzanso kwa mtima wanu, kuti mukazindikire chimene chili chifuniro cha Mulungu, chabwino, ndi chokondweretsa, ndi changwiro.
Mudzakhutitsa moyo wanga ngati ndi mafuta ndi zonona; ndipo pakamwa panga ndidzakulemekezani ndi milomo yakufuula mokondwera.
Si kuti ndinena monga mwa chiperewero, pakuti ndaphunzira ine, kuti zindikwanire zilizonse ndili nazo.
Ndadziwa ngakhale kupeputsidwa, ndadziwanso kusefukira; konseko ndi m'zinthu zonse ndalowa mwambo wakukhuta, ndiponso wakumva njala; wakusefukira, ndiponso wakusowa.
Chifukwa chake musadere nkhawa, ndi kuti, Tidzadya chiyani? Kapena, Tidzamwa chiyani? Kapena, Tidzavala chiyani?
Pakuti anthu akunja azifunitsa zonse zimenezo; pakuti Atate wanu wa Kumwamba adziwa kuti musowa zonse zimenezo.
Mkango umene uposa zilombo kulimba, supatukira chinthu chilichonse;
tambala wolimba m'chuuno, ndi tonde, ndi mfumu yokhala ndi ankhondo ake.
Kanthu kalikonse kali ndi nthawi yake ndi chofuna chilichonse cha pansi pa thambo chili ndi mphindi yake;
Koma Israele anamkonda Yosefe koposa ana ake onse, pakuti anali mwana wa ukalamba wake; ndipo anamsokera iye malaya amwinjiro.
Usaope polemezedwa munthu, pochuluka ulemu wa nyumba yake;
pakuti pomwalira iye sadzamuka nako kanthu kalikonse; ulemu wake sutsika naye kumtsata m'mbuyo.
Tukula maso ako kuunguzaunguza, nuone; onsewa asonkhana pamodzi, nadza kwa iwe. Pali Ine, ati Yehova, iwe ndithu udzadziveka wekha ndi iwo onse, monga ndi chokometsera, ndi kudzimangira nao m'chuuno ngati mkwatibwi.
Pakuti koteronso kale akazi oyera mtima, akuyembekezera Mulungu, anadzikometsera okha, namvera amuna ao a iwo okha;
Mudalikuta ndi nyanja ngati ndi chovala; madzi anafikira pamwamba pa mapiri.
Pa kudzudzula kwanu anathawa; anathawa msanga liu la bingu lanu;
anakwera m'mapiri, anatsikira m'zigwa, kufikira malo mudawakonzeratu.
Pakuti ufumu wa Mulungu sukhala chakudya ndi chakumwa, koma chilungamo, ndi mtendere, ndi chimwemwe mwa Mzimu Woyera.
ndipo munavala watsopano, amene alikukonzeka watsopano, kuti akhale nacho chizindikiritso, monga mwa chifaniziro cha Iye amene anamlenga iye;
Koma chipatso cha Mzimu ndicho chikondi, chimwemwe, mtendere, kuleza mtima, chifundo, kukoma mtima, chikhulupiriro,
chifatso, chiletso; pokana zimenezi palibe lamulo.
Kodi si ndiko kupatsa chakudya chako kwa anjala, ndi kuti ubwere nao kunyumba kwako aumphawi otayika? Pakuona wamaliseche kuti umveke, ndi kuti usadzibisire wekha a chibale chako?
Anagawagawa, anapatsa aumphawi; chilungamo chake chikhalitsa kosatha; nyanga yake idzakwezeka ndi ulemu.
Ndipo upikule malaya am'kati abafuta a thonje losansitsa, nusoke nduwira wabafuta, nusokenso mpango wopikapika.
Chifukwa chake ndifuna kuti amunawo apemphere pamalo ponse, ndi kukweza manja oyera, opanda mkwiyo ndi makani.
Monga chipini chagolide m'mphuno ya nkhumba, momwemo mkazi wokongola wosasinkhasinkha bwino.
Chifukwa chake ndinena kwa inu, Musadere nkhawa moyo wanu, chimene mudzadya ndi chimene mudzamwa; kapena thupi lanu, chimene mudzavala. Kodi moyo suli woposa chakudya, ndi thupi loposa chovala?
Zimene zili naotu manenedwe a nzeru m'kutumikira kwa chifuniro cha mwini wake, ndi kudzichepetsa, ndi kusalabadira thupi; koma zilibe mphamvu konse yakuletsa chikhutitso cha thupi.
Anavalanso temberero ngati malaya, ndipo lidamlowa m'kati mwake ngati madzi, ndi ngati mafuta m'mafupa ake.
Kukongola kungonyenga, maonekedwe okoma ndi chabe; koma mkazi woopa Yehova adzatamandidwa.
Muno mulibe Myuda, kapena Mgriki, muno mulibe kapolo, kapena mfulu, muno mulibe mwamuna ndi mkazi; pakuti muli nonse mmodzi mwa Khristu Yesu.
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.
Koma mfumuyo m'mene inadza kuwaona akudyawo, anapenya momwemo munthu wosavala chovala cha ukwati;
nanena kwa iye, Mnzangawe, unalowa muno bwanji wosakhala nacho chovala cha ukwati? Ndipo iye analibe mau.
Ndinapita pamunda wa waulesi, polima mphesa munthu wosowa nzeru.
Taonani, ponsepo panamera minga, ndi kuwirirapo khwisa; tchinga lake lamiyala ndi kupasuka.
ndikakonzere iwo amene alira maliro mu Ziyoni, ndi kuwapatsa chovala kokometsa m'malo mwa phulusa, mafuta akukondwa m'malo mwa maliro, chovala cha matamando m'malo mwa mzimu wopsinjika; kuti iwo atchedwe mitengo ya chilungamo yakuioka Yehova, kuti Iye alemekezedwe.
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.
Kapena simudziwa kuti thupi lanu lili Kachisi wa Mzimu Woyera, amene ali mwa inu, amene muli naye kwa Mulungu? Ndipo simukhala a inu nokha.
Kapena kodi simudziwa kuti oyera mtima adzaweruza dziko lapansi? Ndipo ngati dziko lapansi liweruzidwa ndi inu, muli osayenera kodi kuweruza timilandu tochepachepa?
Pakuti munagulidwa ndi mtengo wake wapatali; chifukwa chake lemekezani Mulungu m'thupi lanu.
Ndipo azivale Aroni ndi ana ake, pakulowa iwo ku chihema chokomanako, kapena poyandikiza iwo kuguwa la nsembe kutumikira m'malo opatulika; anganyamule mphulupulu, nangafe; likhale lemba losatha la iye ndi mbumba zake pambuyo pake.
Adzakufungatira ndi nthenga zake, ndipo udzathawira kunsi kwa mapiko ake; choonadi chake ndicho chikopa chotchinjiriza.
Ndipo kulibe munthu aphathika chigamba cha nsalu yaiwisi pa chofunda chakale; pakuti chigamba chake chizomoka kuchofundacho, ndipo chichita chiboo chachikulu.
Onse anawapatsa yense zovala zopindula; koma Benjamini anampatsa masekeli a siliva mazana atatu ndi zovala zopindula zisanu.
Usakhale wodulirana mpherere, ngakhale kumperekera chikole cha ngongole zake.
Ngati ulibe chobwezera kodi achotserenji kama lako pansi pako?
Ndiko ngati mafuta a mtengo wake pamutu, akutsikira kundevu, inde kundevu za Aroni; akutsikira kumkawo wa zovala zake.
Inde yemwe Mulungu wamlemeretsa nampatsa chuma, namninkhanso mphamvu ya kudyapo, ndi kulandira gawo lake ndi kukondwera ndi ntchito zake; umenewu ndiwo mtulo wa Mulungu.
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.
Yehova, mtima wanga sunadzikuze ndi maso anga sanakwezeke; ndipo sindinatsate zazikulu, kapena zodabwitsa zondiposa.
Indedi, ndinalinganiza ndi kutontholetsa moyo wanga; ngati mwana womletsa kuyamwa amake, moyo wanga ndili nao ngati mwana womletsa kuyamwa.
Ndipo kwa iye wofuna kupita nawe kumlandu ndi kutenga malaya ako, umlolezenso chofunda chako.
Chifukwa chake, monga tili nayo nyengo, tichitire onse chokoma, koma makamaka iwo a pa banja la chikhulupiriro.
Ndipo padzakhala m'malo mwa zonunkhiritsa mudzakhala zovunda; ndi m'malo mwa lamba chingwe; ndipo m'malo mwa tsitsi labwino dazi; m'malo mwa chovala chapachifuwa mpango wachiguduli; zipsera m'malo mwa ukoma.
Amuna ako adzagwa ndi lupanga, ndi wamphamvu wako m'nkhondo.
Ndipo ife amene tili olimba tiyenera kunyamula zofooka za opanda mphamvu, ndi kusadzikondweretsa tokha.
Musadzikundikire nokha chuma padziko lapansi, pamene njenjete ndi dzimbiri ziononga; ndi pamene mbala ziboola ndi kuba:
Chifukwa chake pamene paliponse upatsa mphatso zachifundo, usamaomba lipenga patsogolo pako, monga amachita onyenga m'masunagoge, ndi m'makwalala, kotero kuti atamandidwe ndi anthu. Indetu ndinena kwa inu, Iwo alandiriratu mphotho zao.
koma mudzikundikire nokha chuma mu Mwamba, pamene njenjete kapena dzimbiri siziononga, ndipo mbala siziboola ndi kuba;
musachite kanthu monga mwa chotetana, kapena monga mwa ulemerero wopanda pake, komatu ndi kudzichepetsa mtima, yense ayese anzake omposa iye mwini;
pakuti chifukwa cha ntchito ya Khristu anafikira pafupi imfa, wosasamalira moyo wake, kuti akakwaniritse chiperewero cha utumiki wanu wa kwa ine.
munthu yense asapenyerere zake za iye yekha, koma yense apenyererenso za mnzake.
Waumphawi adedwa ndi anzake omwe; koma akukonda wolemera achuluka.
Wonyoza anzake achimwa; koma wochitira osauka chifundo adala.
Ameretsa msipu ziudye ng'ombe, ndi zitsamba achite nazo munthu; natulutse chakudya chochokera m'nthaka;
kuti ngati udzavomereza m'kamwa mwako Yesu ndiye Ambuye, ndi kukhulupirira mumtima mwako kuti Mulungu anamuukitsa kwa akufa, udzapulumuka:
Ndipo Yakobo anati kwa a banja lake, ndi kwa onse amene anali ndi iye, Chotsani milungu yachilendo ili mwa inu, mudziyeretse, ndi kupindula zovala zanu:
Koma tsopano atero Yehova, amene anakulenga iwe Yakobo, ndi Iye amene anakupanga iwe Israele, Usaope, chifukwa ndakuombola iwe, ndakutchula dzina lako, iwe uli wanga.
Chinthu chimodzi ndinachipempha kwa Yehova, ndidzachilondola ichi, Kuti ndikhalitse m'nyumba ya Yehova masiku onse a moyo wanga, kupenya kukongola kwake kwa Yehova ndi kufunsitsa mu Kachisi wake.
wamaliseche Ine, ndipo munandiveka; ndinadwala, ndipo munadza kucheza ndi Ine; ndinali m'nyumba yandende, ndipo munadza kwa Ine.
Pakuti nonse amene munabatizidwa kwa Khristu mudavala Khristu.
Muno mulibe Myuda, kapena Mgriki, muno mulibe kapolo, kapena mfulu, muno mulibe mwamuna ndi mkazi; pakuti muli nonse mmodzi mwa Khristu Yesu.
Apatsa chipale chofewa ngati ubweya; awaza chisanu ngati phulusa.
Aponya matalala ake ngati zidutsu: Adzaima ndani pa kuzizira kwake?
Atumiza mau ake nazisungunula; aombetsa mphepo yake, ayenda madzi ake.
