Ukwati ndi chinthu chopangidwa ndi Mulungu, kuti munthu asakhale yekha. Ndi ubale wapadera komanso wodabwitsa umene umafuna kudzipereka ndi kupirira. Monga ana a Mulungu tiyenera kusonyeza chikondi chake ndipo ukwati umatipatsa mwayi tsiku ndi tsiku wochisonyeza.
Tili ndi mavesi ambiri a m’Baibulo omatithandiza kukhazika bwino ukwati wathu ngati tiwatsatire. Chimodzi mwa zinthu zoyamba zimene Ambuye amatifunsa tikakwatirana, ndichokusiya abambo ndi amayi athu kuti tipange banja lathu, nyumba yathu yatsopano. Zoonadi, tiyenera kulemekeza makolo athu, koma zisankho zopangidwa tsopano ziyenera kukhala ndi mnzanu, banja lanu.
Ukwati uyenera kuperekedwa kwa Mulungu, aliyense ayenera kutenga udindo umene Mulungu wapereka mu mgwirizanowu, ndi kuika chikondi chanu m'manja mwa Mulungu, kulimbitsa chikondi chanu tsiku ndi tsiku ndi pemphero ndi mawu a Mulungu.
Ukwati ndi wa nthawi zonse, dongosolo limene Mulungu analipangira ukwati ndi la nthawi zonse, kusudzulana sikuli m'dongosolo lake, Mulungu amafuna kuti mukhale pamodzi mpaka imfa. Pali zinthu zoopsa monga kusakhulupirika kapena nkhanza, koma dongosolo loyambirira la Mulungu ndi lakuti mwamuna ndi mkazi akhale pamodzi mpaka imfa.
ndipo anakwaniridwa malembo onenawa, Ndipo Abrahamu anakhulupirira Mulungu, ndipo kudawerengedwa kwa iye chilungamo; ndipo anatchedwa bwenzi la Mulungu.
Musakonde dziko lapansi, kapena za m'dziko lapansi. Ngati wina akonda dziko lapansi, chikondi cha Atate sichili mwa iye.
Koma iwe, Israele, mtumiki wanga, Yakobo, amene ndinakusankha, mbeu ya Abrahamu bwenzi langa;
Sinditchanso inu akapolo; chifukwa kapolo sadziwa chimene mbuye wake achita; koma ndatcha inu abwenzi; chifukwa zonse zimene ndazimva kwa Atate wanga ndakudziwitsani.
Ndipo Yehova ananena ndi Mose kopenyana maso, monga munthu alankhula ndi bwenzi lake. Ndipo anabwerera kunka kuchigono; koma mtumiki wake Yoswa mwana wa Nuni, ndiye mnyamata msinkhu wake, sanachoke m'chihemamo.
Taona, ndaima pakhomo, ndigogoda; wina akamva mau anga nakatsegula pakhomo, ndidzalowa kwa iye, ndipo ndidzadya naye, ndi iye ndi Ine.
Palibe munthu ali nacho chikondi choposa ichi, chakuti munthu ataya moyo wake chifukwa cha abwenzi ake.
Wokonda kuyera mtima, mfumu idzakhala bwenzi lake chifukwa cha chisomo cha milomo yake.
Uzolowerane ndi Iye, nukhale ndi mtendere; ukatero zokoma zidzakudzera.
Landira tsono chilamulo pakamwa pake, nuwasunge maneno ake mumtima mwako.
Ukabweranso kwa Wamphamvuyonse, udzamanga bwino; ukachotsera chosalungama kutali kwa mahema ako.
Ndipo utaye chuma chako kufumbi, ndi golide wa ku Ofiri ku miyala ya kumitsinje.
Ndipo Wamphamvuyonse adzakhala chuma chako, ndi ndalama zako zofunika.
Lamulo langa ndi ili, kuti mukondane wina ndi mnzake, monga ndakonda inu.
Palibe munthu ali nacho chikondi choposa ichi, chakuti munthu ataya moyo wake chifukwa cha abwenzi ake.
Sindinu Mulungu wathu, amene munainga nzika za m'dziko muno pa maso pa ana anu Israele, ndi kulininkha kwa mbeu ya Abrahamu bwenzi lanu kosatha?
Iye amene ali naye mkwatibwi ali mkwati, koma mnzake wa mkwatiyo, wakuimirira ndi kumvera iye, akondwera kwakukulu chifukwa cha mau a mkwatiyo; chifukwa chake chimwemwe changa chimene chakwanira.
Pakuti aliyense amene adzachita chifuniro cha Atate wanga wa Kumwamba, yemweyo ndiye mbale wanga, ndi mlongo wanga, ndi amai 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 m'Kachisi wake.
Koma ine, kundikomera kuyandikiza kwa Mulungu. Ndimuyesa Ambuye Yehova pothawirapo ine, kuti ndifotokozere ntchito zanu zonse.
Si yense wakunena kwa Ine, Ambuye, Ambuye, adzalowa mu Ufumu wa Kumwamba; koma wakuchitayo chifuniro cha Atate wanga wa Kumwamba.
Koma inu ndinu mbadwa yosankhika, ansembe achifumu, mtundu woyera mtima, anthu a mwini wake, kotero kuti mukalalikire zoposazo za Iye amene anakuitanani mutuluke mumdima, mulowe kuunika kwake kodabwitsa;
Popeza andikondadi ndidzampulumutsa; ndidzamkweza m'mwamba, popeza adziwa dzina langa.
Adzandifuulira Ine ndipo ndidzamyankha; kunsautso ndidzakhala naye pamodzi; ndidzamlanditsa, ndi kumchitira ulemu.
Pakuti ngati, pokhala ife adani ake, tinayanjanitsidwa ndi Mulungu mwa imfa ya Mwana wake, makamaka ndithu, popeza ife tayanjanitsidwa, tidzapulumuka ndi moyo wake.
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;
Atero Yehova, wanzeru asadzitamandire m'nzeru zake, wamphamvu asadzitamandire m'mphamvu yake, wachuma asadzitamandire m'chuma chake;
koma wakudzitamandira adzitamandire adzikweze umo, kuti ali wakuzindikira, ndi kundidziwa Ine, kuti ndine Yehova wakuchita zokoma mtima, chiweruziro, ndi chilungamo m'dziko lapansi, pakuti m'menemo ndikondwerera, ati Yehova.
Iye anakuuza, munthuwe, chomwe chili chokoma; ndipo Yehova afunanji nawe koma kuti uchite cholungama, ndi kukonda chifundo ndi kuyenda modzichepetsa ndi Mulungu wako.
Iye wakukhala nao malamulo anga, ndi kuwasunga, iyeyu ndiye wondikonda Ine; koma wondikonda Ine adzakondedwa ndi Atate wanga, ndipo Ine ndidzamkonda, ndipo ndidzadzionetsa ndekha kwa iye.
koma wopanda chikhulupiriro sikutheka kumkondweretsa; pakuti iye wakudza kwa Mulungu ayenera kukhulupirira kuti alipo, ndi kuti ali wobwezera mphotho iwo akumfuna Iye.
Pemphani, ndipo chidzapatsidwa kwa inu; funani, ndipo mudzapeza; gogodani, ndipo chidzatsegulidwa kwa inu;
pakuti yense wakupempha alandira; ndi wakufunayo apeza; ndi kwa wogogodayo chitsegulidwa.
Mulungu ali wokhulupirika amene munaitanidwa mwa Iye, ku chiyanjano cha Mwana wake Yesu Khristu, Ambuye wathu.
Koma zinthu zonse zichokera kwa Mulungu amene anatiyanjanitsa kwa Iye yekha mwa Khristu, natipatsa utumiki wa chiyanjanitso;
ndiko kunena kuti Mulungu anali mwa Khristu, alinkuyanjanitsa dziko lapansi kwa Iye yekha, osawawerengera zolakwa zao; ndipo anaikiza kwa ife mau a chiyanjanitso.
Koma tsopano mwa Khristu Yesu inu amene munali kutali kale, anakusendezani mukhale pafupi m'mwazi wa Khristu.
amene tili naye chokhazikika mtima ndi chiyandiko cholimbika, mwa chikhulupiriro cha pa Iye.
Komatu zenizeninso ndiyesa zonse zikhale chitayiko chifukwa cha mapambanidwe a chizindikiritso cha Khristu Yesu Ambuye wanga, chifukwa cha Iyeyu ndinatayikitsa zinthu zonse, ndipo ndiziyesa zapadzala, kuti ndikadzionjezere Khristu,
ndi kupezedwa mwa Iye, wosati wakukhala nacho chilungamo changa cha m'lamulo, koma chimene cha mwa chikhulupiriro cha Khristu, chilungamocho chochokera mwa Mulungu ndi chikhulupiriro;
kuti ndimzindikire Iye, ndi mphamvu ya kuuka kwake, ndi chiyanjano cha zowawa zake, pofanizidwa ndi imfa yake;
mwa Iyenso kuyanjanitsa zinthu zonse kwa Iye mwini, atachita mtendere mwa mwazi wa mtanda wake; mwa Iyetu, kapena za padziko, kapena za m'Mwamba.
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;
tiyandikire ndi mtima woona, m'chikhulupiriro chokwanira, ndi mitima yathu yowazidwa kuichotsera chikumbu mtima choipa, ndi matupi athu osambitsidwa ndi madzi oyera;
Yandikirani kwa Mulungu, ndipo adzayandikira kwa inu. Sambani m'manja, ochimwa inu; yeretsani mitima, a mitima iwiri inu.
chimene tidachiona, ndipo tidachimva, tikulalikirani inunso, kuti inunso mukayanjane pamodzi ndi ife; ndipo chiyanjano chathu chilinso ndi Atate, ndipo ndi Mwana wake Yesu Khristu;
Okondedwa, tikondane wina ndi mnzake: chifukwa kuti chikondi chichokera kwa Mulungu, ndipo yense amene akonda, abadwa kuchokera kwa Mulungu, namzindikira Mulungu.
Iye wosakonda sazindikira Mulungu; chifukwa Mulungu ndiye chikondi.
