155 Mau a m'Baibulo Okhudza Nkhondo
Ndi nthawi ya nkhondo ndi mavuto, n’zosavuta kugwidwa ndi mantha komanso kusadziwa choti chingachitike. Koma Baibulo limatipatsa chiyembekezo ndi mphamvu. Pakati pa chisokonezo ndi kutaya mtima, tingapeze chitonthozo mu lonjezo la Mulungu loti adzakhala nafe, ngakhale m’nthawi zovuta kwambiri. Monga mmene lemba la Masalmo 46:1-2 limanenera, “Mulungu ndiye pothawirapo pathu ndi mphamvu yathu, thandizo lopezeka msanga m’masautso. Chifukwa chake sitidzachita mantha, ngakhale dziko litasunthika, ndipo mapiri atagwera mkati mwa nyanja.”
Yesu, m’buku la Yohane 16:33, anatiuza, “Ndanena izi kwa inu kuti mukhale ndi mtendere mwa Ine. M’dziko lapansi mudzakhala ndi chisautso; koma limbikani mtima; Ine ndaligonjetsa dziko lapansi.”
Ndi nthawi ya nkhondo ndi mavuto, tikumbukire kuti zida zathu zenizeni si za thupi, koma zauzimu. Pemphero, chikhulupiriro, ndi chiyembekezo ndi zida zathu zamphamvu kwambiri. Tikamaika maganizo ndi mitima yathu pa Mulungu, tingathe kuthana ndi mavuto aliwonse molimba mtima komanso modzidalira.
Mulungu akutiitana kuti tikhale kuunika pakati pa mdima, kuti tikhale ofalitsa chiyembekezo ndi chikondi m’nthawi yovuta ino. Mwa zochita zathu ndi mawu athu, tingasonyeze chikondi ndi mtendere wa Khristu, kupereka chitonthozo ndi chithandizo kwa omwe akutizungulira.
M’nthawi yovuta ino, tidalira Mulungu, tigwire mwamphamvu lonjezo lake la chipulumutso, ndipo tilole chikondi chake chitsogolere miyoyo yathu.
Zichokera kuti nkhondo, zichokera kuti zolimbana mwa inu? Kodi sizichokera kuzikhumbitso zanu zochita nkhondo m'ziwalo zanu?
Dzichepetseni pamaso pa Ambuye, ndipo adzakukwezani.
Musamanenerana, abale. Wonenera mbale, kapena woweruza mbale wake, anenera lamulo, naweruza lamulo: koma ngati uweruza lamulo, suli wochita lamulo, komatu woweruza.
Woika lamulo ndi woweruza ndiye mmodzi, ndiye amene akhoza kupulumutsa ndi kuononga; koma iwe woweruza mnzako ndiwe yani?
Nanga tsono, inu akunena, Lero kapena mawa tidzapita kulowa kumudzi wakutiwakuti, ndipo tidzagonerako ndi kutsatsa malonda, ndi kupindula nao;
inu amene simudziwa chimene chidzagwa mawa. Moyo wanu uli wotani? Pakuti muli utsi, wakuonekera kanthawi, ndi pamenepo ukanganuka.
Mukadanena inu, Akalola Ambuye, ndipo tikakhala ndi moyo, tidzachita kakutikakuti.
Koma tsopano mudzitamandira m'kudzikuza kwanu; kudzitamandira kulikonse kotero nkoipa.
Potero kwa iye amene adziwa kuchita bwino, ndipo sachita, kwa iye kuli tchimo.
Mulakalaka, ndipo zikusowani; mukupha, nimuchita kaduka, ndipo simungathe kupeza; mulimbana, nimuchita nkhondo; mulibe kanthu, chifukwa simupempha.
pakuti, pokhala pali nkhwidzi ndi ndeu pakati pa inu simuli athupi kodi, ndi kuyendayenda monga mwa munthu?
Koma inu mudzayamba kumva za nkhondo, ndi mbiri za nkhondo; onani, musadere nkhawa; pakuti kuyenera kuti izi zioneke; koma chitsiriziro sichinafike.
Pakuti mtundu umodzi wa anthu udzaukirana ndi mtundu wina, ndi ufumu ndi ufumu wina; ndipo kudzakhala njala ndi zivomezi m'malo akutiakuti.
Wolemekezeka Yehova thanthwe langa, wakuphunzitsa manja anga achite nkhondo, zala zanga zigwirane nao:
Ndipo Iye adzaweruza mwa mitundu yambiri ya anthu, nadzadzudzula amitundu amphamvu ali kutali; ndipo iwo adzasula malupanga ao akhale makasu, ndi mikondo yao ikhale zolimira, mtundu wa anthu sudzasamulira mtundu unzake lupanga, kapena kuphunziranso nkhondo.
Pamene mutuluka pa mdani wanu kunkhondo, ndi kuona akavalo ndi magaleta ndi anthu akuchulukira inu, musawaopa; popeza Yehova Mulungu wanu, amene anakukwezani kukutulutsani m'dziko la Ejipito, ali ndi inu.
Ndi ana a Yuda anagwira zikwi khumi ena amoyo, nabwera nao pamwamba pa thanthwe, naphwanyika onsewo.
Pakuti ndidzasonkhanitsa amitundu onse alimbane ndi Yerusalemu; ndipo mzindawo udzalandidwa, ndi nyumba zidzafunkhidwa, ndi akazi adzakakamizidwa; ndi limodzi la magawo awiri la mzinda lidzatuluka kunka kundende, koma anthu otsala sadzaonongeka m'mzindamo.
Iye adzaweruza pakati pa akunja, adzadzudzula mitundu yambiri ya anthu; ndipo iwo adzasula malupanga ao akhale zolimira, ndi nthungo zao zikhale makasu; mtundu sudzanyamula lupanga kumenyana ndi mtundu wina, ndipo sadzaphunziranso nkhondo.
pakuti Yehova Mulungu wanu ndiye wakumuka nanu, kugwirira inu pa adani anu, kukupulumutsani.
Koma mau a Yehova anandidzera, kuti, Wakhetsa mwazi wochuluka, popeza wachita nkhondo zazikulu; sudzamangira dzina langa nyumba, popeza wakhetsa pansi mwazi wambiri pamaso panga;
Ndi msonkhano wonse uno udzazindikira kuti Yehova sapulumutsa ndi lupanga, kapena ndi mkondo; pakuti Yehova ndiye mwini nkhondo, ndipo Iye adzakuperekani inu m'manja athu.
nati iye, Tamverani Ayuda inu nonse, ndi inu okhala mu Yerusalemu, ndi inu mfumu Yehosafati, atero nanu Yehova, Musaope musatenge nkhawa chifukwa cha aunyinji ambiri awa; pakuti nkhondoyi si yanu, koma ya Mulungu.
Mulungu ndiye pothawirapo pathu ndi mphamvu yathu, thandizo lopezekeratu m'masautso.
Khalani chete, ndipo dziwani kuti Ine ndine Mulungu, Ndidzabuka mwa amitundu, ndidzabuka padziko lapansi.
Yehova wa makamu ali ndi ife, Mulungu wa Yakobo ndiye pamsanje pathu.
Chifukwa chake sitidzachita mantha, lingakhale lisandulika dziko lapansi, angakhale mapiri asunthika, nakhala m'kati mwa nyanja.
Chinkana madzi ake akokoma, nachita thovu, nagwedezeka mapiri ndi kudzala kwake.
Ndiye chifundo changa, ndi linga langa, msanje wanga, ndi Mpulumutsi wanga; chikopa changa, ndi Iye amene ndimtama; amene andigonjetsera anthu anga.
Pakuti zida zonse za mwamuna wovala zida za nkhondo m'phokosomo, ndi zovala zomvimvinika m'mwazi, zidzakhala zonyeka ngati nkhuni.
Pakuti Yehova atero kwa ine, Monga mkango, ndi mwana wa mkango wobangula pa nyama yake, sudzaopa mau a khamu la abusa oitanidwa kuupirikitsa, ngakhale kudzichepetsa wokha, chifukwa cha phokoso lao; motero Yehova wa makamu adzatsikira kumenyana nkhondo kuphiri la Ziyoni, ndi kuchitunda kwake komwe.
Yehova adzatuluka ngati munthu wamphamvu; adzautsa nsanje ngati munthu wa nkhondo; Iye adzafuula, inde adzakuwa zolimba; adzachita zamphamvu pa adani ake.
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.
Iwe ndiwe chibonga changa ndi zida zanga za nkhondo; ndi iwe ndidzathyolathyola amitundu, ndi iwe ndidzaononga maufumu;
ndi iwe ndidzathyolathyola kavalo ndi wokwera wake;
ndi iwe ndidzathyolathyola galeta ndi iye wokweramo; ndi iwe ndidzathyolathyola mwamuna ndi mkazi; ndi iwe ndidzathyolathyola wokalamba ndi mnyamata; ndi iwe ndidzathyolathyola mnyamata ndi namwali;
ndi iwe ndidzathyolathyola mbusa ndi zoweta zake; ndi iwe ndidzathyolathyola wakulima ndi goli la ng'ombe lake; ndi iwe ndidzathyolathyola akazembe ndi ziwanga.
Pakuti layandikira tsiku, layandikira tsiku la Yehova, tsiku lamitambo, ndiyo nyengo ya amitundu.
Ndipo iwo okhala m'mizinda ya Israele adzatuluka, nadzasonkha moto, nadzatentha zida za nkhondo, ndi zikopa zotchinjiriza, mauta, ndi mivi, ndi ndodo, ndi mikondo; ndipo adzasonkha moto nazo zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri;
Mau a Amosi, amene anali mwa oweta ng'ombe a ku Tekowa, ndiwo amene anawaona za Israele masiku a Uziya mfumu ya Yuda, ndi masiku a Yerobowamu mwana wa Yowasi mfumu ya Israele, zitatsala zaka ziwiri chisanafike chivomezi.
Mulalikire ichi mwa amitundu, mukonzeretu nkhondo; utsani amuna amphamvu; amuna onse a nkhondo ayandikire nakwere.
Limba nayo nkhondo yabwino ya chikhulupiriro, gwira moyo wosatha, umene adakuitanira, ndipo wavomereza chivomerezo chabwino pamaso pa mboni zambiri.
Chifukwa kuti kulimbana kwathu sitilimbana nao mwazi ndi thupi, komatu nao maukulu, ndi maulamuliro, ndi akuchita zolimbika a dziko lapansi a mdima uno, ndi auzimu a choipa m'zakumwamba.
Pakuti pakuyendayenda m'thupi, sitichita nkhondo monga mwa thupi,
(pakuti zida za nkhondo yathu sizili za thupi, koma zamphamvu mwa Mulungu zakupasula malinga);
Ndipo ndinene chiyaninso? Pakuti idzandiperewera nthawi ndifotokozere za Gideoni, Baraki, Samisoni, Yefita; za Davide, ndi Samuele ndi aneneri;
amene mwa chikhulupiriro anagonjetsa maufumu, anachita chilungamo, analandira malonjezano, anatseka pakamwa pa mikango,
nazima mphamvu ya moto, napulumuka lupanga lakuthwa, analimbikitsidwa pokhala ofooka, anakula mphamvu kunkhondo, anapirikitsa magulu a nkhondo yachilendo.
Pamene anamva Abramu kuti mphwake anagwidwa, anatuluka natsogolera anyamata ake opangika, obadwa kunyumba kwake, mazana atatu kudza khumi ndi asanu ndi atatu, nawalondola kufikira ku Dani.
Ndipo anadzigawanizira iwo usiku, iye ndi anyamata ake, nawakantha, nawapirikitsa kufikira ku Hoba, ndiko ku dzanja lamanzere la ku Damasiko.
Ndipo anabwera nacho chuma chonse, nabwera naye Loti yemwe ndi chuma chake, ndi akazi ndi anthu omwe.
Yehova Mulungu wanu wakutsogolera inu, Iye adzathirira inu nkhondo, monga mwa zonse anakuchitirani mu Ejipito pamaso panu;
Pamenepo akapitao anenenso kwa anthu, ndi kuti, Munthuyo ndani wakuchita mantha ndi wofumuka mtima? Amuke nabwerere kunyumba kwake, ingasungunuke mitima ya abale ake monga mtima wake.
Kodi sindinakulamulire iwe? Khala wamphamvu, nulimbike mtima, usaope, kapena kutenga nkhawa, pakuti Yehova Mulungu wako ali ndi iwe kulikonse umukako.
Pamenepo Yoswa ananena nao, Musaope, musatenge nkhawa; khalani amphamvu, nimulimbike mtima; pakuti Yehova adzatero ndi adani anu onse amene mugwirana nao nkhondo.
Lemekezani Yehova pakuti atsogoleri mu Israele anatsogolera, pakuti anthu anadzipereka mwaufulu.
Ndi magulu atatuwo anaomba malipenga, naswa mbiyazo, nagwira miuni ndi dzanja lao lamanzere, ndi malipenga m'dzanja lao lamanja kuwaomba; ndipo anafuula, Lupanga la Yehova ndi la Gideoni.
Ndipo m'tsogolo mwake mudzafika kuphiri la Mulungu, kumene kuli kaboma ka Afilisti; ndipo kudzali kuti pakufika inu kumzindako mudzakomana ndi gulu la aneneri, alikutsika kumsanje ndi chisakasa, ndi lingaka, ndi chitoliro, ndi zeze, pamaso pao; iwo adzanenera;
Ndipo Yonatani anathyola kaboma ka Afilisti lokhala ku Geba, ndipo Afilisti anamva za ichi. Ndipo Saulo analiza lipenga m'dziko monse, nati, Amve Ahebri.
Ndipo Yonatani ananena ndi mnyamata wonyamula zida zake, Tiye tipite ku kaboma ka osadulidwa awa; kapena Yehova adzatigwirira ntchito; pakuti palibe chomletsa Yehova kupulumutsa angakhale ndi ambiri kapena ndi owerengeka.
Ndipo panali nkhondo yowawa ndi Afilisti masiku onse a Saulo; ndipo Saulo pakuona munthu wamphamvu, kapena ngwazi, anamtenga akhale naye.
Pamenepo Afilisti anasonkhanitsa makamu ao a nkhondo, naunjikana ku Soko wa ku Yuda, namanga zithando pakati pa Soko ndi Azeka ku Efesi-Damimu.
Nati Mfilistiyo, Ine ndinyoza makamu a nkhondo a Israele lero; mundipatse munthu, kuti tilimbane ife awiri.
Ndipo pamene Saulo ndi Aisraele onse anamva mau ao a Mfilistiyo, anadodoma, naopa kwambiri.
Tsono Davide anali mwana wa Mwefurati uja wa ku Betelehemu ku Yuda, dzina lake ndiye Yese; ameneyu anali nao ana aamuna asanu ndi atatu; ndipo m'masiku a Saulo munthuyo anali nkhalamba, mwa anthu.
Ndipo ana atatu aakulu a Yese anatsata Saulo kunkhondoko; ndi maina ao a ana ake atatuwo adapita ku nkhondowo ndiwo Eliyabu woyambayo, ndi mnzake womponda pamutu pake Abinadabu, ndi wachitatu Sama.
Ndipo Davide anali wotsiriza; ndi akulu atatuwo anamtsata Saulo.
Koma Davide akamuka kwa Saulo, nabwerera kudzadyetsa nkhosa za atate wake ku Betelehemu.
Ndipo Mfilistiyo anayandikira m'mawa ndi madzulo, nadzionetsera masiku makumi anai.
Ndipo Yese anati kwa Davide mwana wake, Uwatengere abale ako efa wa tirigu uyu wokazinga, ndi mikate iyi khumi, nuthamangire nazo kuzithando kwa abale ako;
nunyamule nchinchi izi khumi zamase ukapatse mtsogoleri wa chikwi chao, nukaone m'mene akhalira abale ako, nulandire chikole chao.
Tsono Saulo, ndi iwowa, ndi anthu onse a Israele, anali m'chigwa cha Ela, ku nkhondo ya Afilisti.
Ndipo Saulo ndi anthu a Israele anasonkhana, namanga zithando pa chigwa cha Ela, nandandalitsa nkhondo yao kuti akaponyane ndi Afilisti.
Ulimbike mtima, ndipo tichite chamuna lero chifukwa cha anthu athu ndi mizinda ya Mulungu wathu; Yehova nachite chomkomera.
Ndipo kunali pofikanso chaka, nyengo yakutuluka mafumu, Davide anatumiza Yowabu, pamodzi ndi anyamata ake, ndi Aisraele onse; ndipo iwo anasakaza ana a Amoni, naumangira misasa yankhondo Raba. Koma Davide anatsalira ku Yerusalemu.
Ndipo anyamata a mfumu ya Aramu anati kwa iye, Milungu yao nja kumapiri, ndimo m'mene atilakira; koma tikaponyana nao kuchidikha, zedi tidzaposa mphamvu.
Nati iye, Usaopa, pakuti okhala pamodzi ndi ife achuluka koposa aja okhala pamodzi ndi iwo.
Ndipo kunali, usiku womwewo mthenga wa Yehova anatuluka, nakantha m'misasa ya Aasiriya zikwi zana limodzi mphambu makumi asanu ndi atatu kudza zisanu, ndipo pouka anthu mamawa, taonani, onsewo ndi mitembo.
Pakuti adagwa, nafa ambiri, popeza nkhondoyi nja Mulungu. Ndipo anakhala m'malo mwao mpaka anatengedwa ndende.
Atafika tsono ku Baala-Perazimu, Davide anawakantha komweko; nati Davide, Mulungu anapasula adani anga ndi dzanja langa, ngati pokhamulira madzi. Chifukwa chake analitcha dzina la malowo Baala-Perazimu.
Ukulu, ndi mphamvu, ndi ulemerero, ndi chipambano, ndi chifumu ndi zanu, Yehova; pakuti zonse zam'mwamba ndi padziko lapansi ndi zanu; ufumu ndi wanu, Yehova; ndipo mwakwezeka mutu wa pa zonse.
Nalawira mamawa, natuluka kunka kuchipululu cha Tekowa; ndipo potuluka iwo, Yehosafati anakhala chilili, nati, Mundimvere ine, Ayuda inu, ndi inu okhala mu Yerusalemu, limbikani mwa Yehova Mulungu wanu, ndipo mudzakhazikika; khulupirirani aneneri ake, ndipo mudzalemerera.
Yehova ndiye kuunika kwanga ndi chipulumutso changa; ndidzaopa yani? Yehova ndiye mphamvu ya moyo wanga; ndidzachita mantha ndi yani?
Oipa anasolola lupanga, nakoka uta wao; alikhe ozunzika ndi aumphawi, aphe amene ali oongoka m'njira.
Anaombola moyo wanga kunkhondo, ndikhale mumtendere, pakuti ndiwo ambiri okangana nane.
Pamenepo adani anga adzabwerera m'mbuyo tsiku lakuitana ine. Ichi ndidziwa, kuti Mulungu avomerezana nane.
Dzudzulani chilombo cha m'bango, khamu la mphongo ndi ng'ombe za anthu, yense wakudzigonjera ndi ndalama za siliva; anabalalitsa mitundu ya anthu ya kukondwera nayo nkhondo.
Mulungu musakhale chete; musakhale duu, osanena kanthu, Mulungu.
amene anaonongeka ku Endori; anakhala ngati ndowe ya kumunda.
Muwaike akulu ao ngati Orebu ndi Zeebu; mafumu ao ngati Zeba ndi Zalimuna,
amene anati, Tilande malo okhalamo Mulungu, akhale athu.
Mulungu wanga, muwaike akhale ngati mungu; ngati ziputu zomka ndi mphepo.
Monga moto upsereza nkhalango, ndi monga lawi liyatsa mapiri.
Momwemo muwatsate ndi namondwe, nimuwaopse ndi kamvulumvulu wanu.
Achititseni manyazi pankhope pao; kuti afune dzina lanu, Yehova.
Achite manyazi, naopsedwe kosatha; ndipo asokonezeke, naonongeke.
Kuti adziwe kuti inu nokha, dzina lanu ndinu Yehova, ndinu Wam'mwambamwamba padziko lonse lapansi.
Pakuti taonani, adani anu apokosera, ndipo okwiyira Inu aweramutsa mutu.
Apangana mochenjerera pa anthu anu, nakhalira upo pa obisika anu.
Amati, Tiyeni tiwaononge asakhalenso mtundu wa anthu; ndipo dzina la Israele lisakumbukikenso.
Weramutsani thambo lanu, Yehova, nimutsike: Khudzani mapiri ndipo adzafuka.
Ng'animitsani mphezi, ndi kuwabalalitsa; tumizani mivi yanu, ndi kuwapirikitsa.
Munene inu zotonthoza mtima kwa Yerusalemu, nimufuulire kwa iye, kuti nkhondo yake yatha, kuti kuipa kwake kwakhululukidwa; kuti iye walandira mowirikiza m'dzanja la Yehova, chifukwa cha machimo ake onse.
usaope, pakuti Ine ndili pamodzi ndi iwe; usaopsedwe, pakuti Ine ndine Mulungu wako; ndidzakulimbitsa; inde, ndidzakuthangata; inde, ndidzakuchirikiza ndi dzanja langa lamanja la chilungamo.
Taona, ndidzakuyesa iwe choombera tirigu chatsopano chakuthwa chokhala ndi mano; iwe udzaomba mapiri ndi kuwapera asalale, ndi kusandutsa zitunda mungu.
Palibe chida chosulidwira iwe chidzapindula; ndipo lilime lonse limene lidzakangana nawe m'chiweruzo udzalitsutsa. Ichi ndi cholowa cha atumiki a Yehova, ndi chilungamo chao chimene chifuma kwa Ine, ati Yehova.
Mtima wanu usalefuke, musaope chifukwa cha mbiri imene idzamveka m'dzikomu; pakuti mbiri idzafika chaka china, pambuyo pake chaka china mbiri ina, ndi chiwawa m'dziko, wolamulira kumenyana ndi wolamulira.
Pakuti ndanena mu nsanje yanga, ndi m'moto wa kuzaza kwanga, Zoonadi tsiku ilo kudzakhala kugwedezeka kwakukulu m'dziko la Israele;
Ndipo masiku a mafumu aja Mulungu wa Kumwamba adzaika ufumu woti sudzaonongeka kunthawi zonse, ndi ulamuliro wake sudzasiyidwira mtundu wina wa anthu, koma udzaphwanya ndi kutha maufumu ao onse, nudzakhala chikhalire.
Ndipo nthawi yotsiriza mfumu ya kumwera idzalimbana naye, ndi mfumu ya kumpoto idzamdzera ngati kamvulumvulu, ndi magaleta, ndi apakavalo, ndi zombo zambiri; nadzalowa m'maiko, nadzasefukira ndi kupitirira.
Aunyinji, aunyinji m'chigwa chotsirizira mlandu! Pakuti layandikira tsiku la Yehova m'chigwa chotsirizira mlandu.
Atero Yehova, Chifukwa cha zolakwa zitatu za Mowabu, kapena zinai, sindidzabweza kulanga kwake; popeza anatentha mafupa a mfumu ya ku Edomu asanduke njereza;
Pakuti tsiku la Yehova layandikira amitundu onse; monga unachita iwe, momwemo adzakuchitira; chochita iwe chidzakubwerera pamutu pako.
Amitundu adzaona nadzachita manyazi ndi mphamvu yao yonse; adzagwira pakamwa, m'makutu mwao mudzagontha.
Koma inu mudzayamba kumva za nkhondo, ndi mbiri za nkhondo; onani, musadere nkhawa; pakuti kuyenera kuti izi zioneke; koma chitsiriziro sichinafike.
Pomwepo Yesu ananena kwa iye, Tabweza lupanga lako m'chimakemo, pakuti onse akugwira lupanga adzaonongeka ndi lupanga.
Ndipo pamene mudzamva za nkhondo ndi mapanduko, musaopsedwa; pakuti ziyenera izi ziyambe kuchitika; koma mathedwe sakhala pomwepo.
Zinthu izi ndalankhula ndi inu, kuti mwa Ine mukakhale nao mtendere. M'dziko lapansi mudzakhala nacho chivuto, koma limbikani mtima; ndalingonjetsa dziko lapansi Ine.
Ndipo munatenga chihema cha Moleki, ndi nyenyezi ya mulungu Refani, zithunzizo mudazipanga kuzilambira; ndipo ndidzakutengani kunka nanu m'tsogolo mwake mwa Babiloni.
Ndipo m'mene adamgwira, anamuika m'ndende, nampereka kwa magulu anai a alonda, lonse anaianai, amdikire iye; ndipo anafuna kumtulutsa kudza naye kwa anthu atapita Paska.
pakuti ndiye mtumiki wa Mulungu, kuchitira iwe zabwino. Koma ngati uchita choipa, opatu, pakuti iye sagwira lupanga kwachabe; pakuti ndiye mtumiki wa Mulungu wakukwiyira ndi kubwezera chilango wochita zoipa.
Ndipo ndikudandaulirani, abale, ndi Ambuye wathu Yesu Khristu, ndi chikondi cha Mzimu, kuti mudzalimbike pamodzi ndi ine m'mapemphero anu kwa Mulungu chifukwa cha ine;
amene anatilanditsa mu imfa yaikulu yotere, nadzalanditsa; amene timyembekezera kuti adzalanditsanso;
ndife osautsika monsemo, koma osapsinjika; osinkhasinkha, koma osakhala kakasi;
olondoleka, koma osatayika; ogwetsedwa, koma osaonongeka;
Pakuti thupi lilakalaka potsutsana naye Mzimu, ndi Mzimu potsutsana nalo thupi; pakuti izi sizilingana; kuti zimene muzifuna musazichite.
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;
Musadere nkhawa konse; komatu m'zonse ndi pemphero, ndi pembedzero, pamodzi ndi chiyamiko, zopempha zanu zidziwike kwa Mulungu.
Koma ife popeza tili a usana tisaledzere, titavala chapachifuwa cha chikhulupiriro ndi chikondi; ndi chisoti chili chiyembekezo cha chipulumutso.
kotero kuti ife tokha tidzitamandira za inu mu Mipingo ya Mulungu, chifukwa cha chipiriro chanu, ndi chikhulupiriro chanu, m'mazunzo anu onse ndi zisautsozo muzimva;
Lamulo ili ndipereka kwa iwe, mwana wanga Timoteo, kuti, monga mwa zonenera zidakutsogolera iwe kale, ulimbane nayo nkhondo yabwino;
nazima mphamvu ya moto, napulumuka lupanga lakuthwa, analimbikitsidwa pokhala ofooka, anakula mphamvu kunkhondo, anapirikitsa magulu a nkhondo yachilendo.
Zichokera kuti nkhondo, zichokera kuti zolimbana mwa inu? Kodi sizichokera kuzikhumbitso zanu zochita nkhondo m'ziwalo zanu?
Ndipo munali nkhondo m'mwamba. Mikaele ndi angelo ake akuchita nkhondo ndi chinjoka; chinjokanso ndi angelo ake chinachita nkhondo;
Ndipo ndinaona mutatseguka mu Mwamba; ndipo taonani, kavalo woyera, ndi Iye wakumkwera wotchedwa Wokhulupirika ndi Woona; ndipo aweruza, nachita nkhondo molungama.
Muimbireni Yehova nyimbo yatsopano; popeza anachita zodabwitsa: Dzanja lake lamanja, mkono wake woyera, zinamchitira chipulumutso.
Koma tsopano atero Yehova, amene anakulenga iwe Yakobo, ndi Iye amene anakupanga iwe Israele, Usaope, chifukwa ndakuombola iwe, ndakutchula dzina lako, iwe uli wanga.
M'mwemo ndinanenera monga anandiuza, ndi mpweya unawalowa, ndipo anakhala ndi moyo, naimirira chilili, gulu la nkhondo lalikulukulu ndithu.
Ndipo Yesu anadziwa maganizo ao, nati kwa iwo, Ufumu uliwonse wogawanika pa wokha sukhalira kupasuka, ndi mzinda uliwonse kapena banja logawanika pa lokha silidzakhala;
Pakuti mtundu umodzi wa anthu udzaukirana ndi mtundu wina, ndi ufumu ndi ufumu wina; ndipo kudzakhala njala ndi zivomezi m'malo akutiakuti.
Pakuti mtundu wa anthu udzayambana ndi mtundu wina, ndipo ufumu ndi ufumu unzake: padzakhala zivomezi m'malo m'malo; padzakhala njala; izi ndi zoyambira za zowawa.
Kapena mfumu yanji pakupita kukomana ndi nkhondo ya mfumu inzake, sayamba wakhala pansi, nafunsana ndi akulu ngati akhoza ndi asilikali ake zikwi khumi kulimbana naye wina uja alikudza kukomana naye ndi asilikali zikwi makumi awiri?
Ndipo anati kwa iwo, Koma tsopano, iye amene ali ndi thumba la ndalama, alitenge, ndi thumba la kamba lomwe; ndipo amene alibe, agulitse chofunda chake, nagule lupanga.
Mtendere ndikusiyirani inu, mtendere wanga ndikupatsani; Ine sindikupatsani inu monga dziko lapansi lipatsa. Mtima wanu usavutike, kapena usachite mantha.
Komatu mudzalandira mphamvu, Mzimu Woyera atadza pa inu: ndipo mudzakhala mboni zanga mu Yerusalemu, ndi mu Yudeya monse, ndi mu Samariya, ndi kufikira malekezero ake a dziko.
koma ayamikike Mulungu, amene atipatsa ife chigonjetso mwa Ambuye wathu Yesu Khristu.
Koma ayamikike Mulungu, amene atitsogolera m'chigonjetso mwa Khristu, namveketsa fungo la chidziwitso chake mwa ife pamalo ponse.
Pakuti Iye ndiye mtendere wathu, amene anachita kuti onse awiri akhale mmodzi, nagumula khoma lakudulitsa pakati,
osaopa adani m'kanthu konse, chimene chili kwa iwowa chisonyezo cha chionongeko, koma kwa inu cha chipulumutso, ndicho cha kwa Mulungu;
Pakuti ufulu wathu uli Kumwamba; kuchokera komwenso tilindirira Mpulumutsi, Ambuye Yesu Khristu;
Khalani odzisungira, dikirani; mdani wanu mdierekezi, monga mkango wobuma, ayendayenda ndi kufunafuna wina akamlikwire:
ameneyo mumkanize okhazikika m'chikhulupiriro, podziwa kuti zowawa zomwezo zilimkukwaniridwa pa abale anu ali m'dziko.
Iye wakupambana, ndidzampatsa akhale pansi ndi Ine pa mpando wachifumu wanga, monga Inenso ndinapambana, ndipo ndinakhala pansi ndi Atate wanga pa mpando wachifumu wake.
Ndipo iwo anampambana iye chifukwa cha mwazi wa Mwanawankhosa, ndi chifukwa cha mau a umboni wao; ndipo sanakonde moyo wao kungakhale kufikira imfa.
Ndipo mdierekezi wakuwasokeretsa anaponyedwa m'nyanja ya moto ndi sulufure, kumeneko kulinso chilombocho ndi mneneri wonyengayo; ndipo adzazunzidwa usana ndi usiku kunthawi za nthawi.
Yehova, munditsogolere m'chilungamo chanu, chifukwa cha akundizondawo; mulungamitse njira yanu pamaso panga.
Mfumu imene ya ulemerero ndani? Yehova wamphamvu ndi wolimba, Yehova wolimba kunkhondo.
Lingakhale gulu la ankhondo limanga misasa kuti andithyole, mtima wanga sungachite mantha; ingakhale nkhondo ikandiukira, inde pomweponso ndidzakhulupirira.
Aletsa nkhondo ku malekezero a dziko lapansi; athyola uta, nadula nthungo; atentha magaleta ndi moto.
Ndipo padzakhala masiku otsiriza, kuti phiri la nyumba ya Yehova lidzakhazikika pansonga ya mapiri, ndipo lidzakwezedwa pamwamba pa zitunda; mitundu yonse idzasonkhana kumeneko.
Tsiku limenelo munthu adzataya kumfuko ndi kumileme mafano ake asiliva ndi agolide amene anthu anampangira iye awapembedze;
kuti akalowe m'mapanga a m'matanthwe, ndi m'mindala a m'miyala, kuthawa kuopsa kwa Yehova, ndi ulemerero wachifumu wake, podzuka Iye kugwedeza dziko ndi mphamvu.
Siyani munthu, amene mpweya wake uli m'mphuno mwake; chifukwa m'mene awerengedwamo ndi muti?
Ndipo anthu ambiri adzanka, nati, Tiyeni tikwere kunka kuphiri la Yehova, kunyumba ya Mulungu wa Yakobo; ndipo Iye adzatiphunzitsa za njira zake, ndipo tidzayenda m'mayendedwe ake; chifukwa mu Ziyoni mudzatuluka chilamulo, ndi mau a Yehova kuchokera mu Yerusalemu.
Iye adzaweruza pakati pa akunja, adzadzudzula mitundu yambiri ya anthu; ndipo iwo adzasula malupanga ao akhale zolimira, ndi nthungo zao zikhale makasu; mtundu sudzanyamula lupanga kumenyana ndi mtundu wina, ndipo sadzaphunziranso nkhondo.
Taonani, Ambuye Yehova adzadza ngati wamphamvu, ndipo mkono wake udzalamulira; taonani, mphotho yake ili ndi Iye, ndipo chobwezera chake chili patsogolo pa Iye.
Taona, ndalenga wachipala amene avukuta moto wamakala, ndi kutulutsamo chida cha ntchito yake; ndipo ndalenga woononga kuti apasule.
Palibe chida chosulidwira iwe chidzapindula; ndipo lilime lonse limene lidzakangana nawe m'chiweruzo udzalitsutsa. Ichi ndi cholowa cha atumiki a Yehova, ndi chilungamo chao chimene chifuma kwa Ine, ati Yehova.
Koma kudzachitika masiku otsiriza, kuti phiri la nyumba ya Yehova lidzakhazikika pamwamba pa mapiri, nilidzakuzika pamwamba pa zitunda; ndi mitundu ya anthu idzayendako.
Imva zowawa, nuyesetse kubala, mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni, ngati mkazi wakubala; pakuti udzatuluka m'mzinda tsopano, nudzakhala kuthengo, nudzafika ku Babiloni; komweko udzapulumutsidwa; komweko Yehova adzakuombola m'manja a adani ako.
Ndipo tsopano amitundu ambiri asonkhana kuyambana nawe, akuti, Aipsidwe, diso lathu lipenye ku Ziyoni.
Koma sadziwa zolingirira za Yehova, kapena kuzindikira uphungu wake; pakuti anawasonkhanitsa ngati mitolo kudwale.
Nyamuka nupunthe, mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni; pakuti ndidzasanduliza nyanga yako ikhale yachitsulo, ndi ziboda zako zikhale zamkuwa; ndipo udzaphwanya mitundu yambiri ya anthu; ndipo uzipereka chiperekere phindu lao kwa Yehova, ndi chuma chao kwa Ambuye wa dziko lonse lapansi.
Ndipo amitundu ambiri adzamuka, nadzati, Tiyeni, tikwere kuphiri la Yehova, ndi kunyumba ya Mulungu wa Yakobo; kuti Iye atiphunzitse njira zake, ndipo tidzayenda m'mabande ake; pakuti ku Ziyoni kudzatuluka chilamulo, ndi ku Yerusalemu mau a Yehova.
Ndipo Iye adzaweruza mwa mitundu yambiri ya anthu, nadzadzudzula amitundu amphamvu ali kutali; ndipo iwo adzasula malupanga ao akhale makasu, ndi mikondo yao ikhale zolimira, mtundu wa anthu sudzasamulira mtundu unzake lupanga, kapena kuphunziranso nkhondo.
Musalingalire kuti ndidadzera kuponya mtendere padziko lapansi; sindinadzere kuponya mtendere, koma lupanga.
Ndipo asilikali omwe anamfunsa iye, nati, Nanga ife tizichita chiyani? Ndipo iye anati kwa iwo, Musaopse, musanamize munthu aliyense; khalani okhuta ndi kulipira kwanu.
Kapena mfumu yanji pakupita kukomana ndi nkhondo ya mfumu inzake, sayamba wakhala pansi, nafunsana ndi akulu ngati akhoza ndi asilikali ake zikwi khumi kulimbana naye wina uja alikudza kukomana naye ndi asilikali zikwi makumi awiri?
Koma ngati sakhoza, atumiza akazembe, pokhala winayo ali kutalitali, nafunsa za mtendere.
Sichinakugwerani inu chiyeso koma cha umunthu; koma Mulungu ali wokhulupirika, amene sadzalola inu kuyesedwa koposa kumene mukhoza; koma pamodzi ndi chiyeso adzaikanso populumukirapo, kuti mudzakhoze kupirirako.
Koma tili nacho chuma ichi m'zotengera zadothi, kuti ukulu woposa wamphamvu ukhale wa Mulungu, wosachokera kwa ife;
ndife osautsika monsemo, koma osapsinjika; osinkhasinkha, koma osakhala kakasi;
olondoleka, koma osatayika; ogwetsedwa, koma osaonongeka;
Pakuti munafa, ndipo moyo wanu wabisika pamodzi ndi Khristu mwa Mulungu.
Pamene Khristu adzaoneka, ndiye moyo wathu, pamenepo inunso mudzaonekera pamodzi ndi Iye mu ulemerero.
Kotero kuti tinena molimbika mtima, Mthandizi wanga ndiye Ambuye; sindidzaopa; adzandichitira chiyani munthu?
Wodala munthu wakupirira poyesedwa; pakuti pamene wavomerezeka, adzalandira korona wa moyo, amene Ambuye adalonjezera iwo akumkonda Iye.
Komatu ngatinso mukumva zowawa chifukwa cha chilungamo, odala inu; ndipo musaope pakuwaopa iwo, kapena musadere nkhawa;
Ndipo Mulungu wa chisomo chonse, amene adakuitanani kulowa ulemerero wake wosatha mwa Khristu, mutamva zowawa kanthawi, adzafikitsa inu opanda chilema mwini wake, adzakhazikitsa, adzalimbikitsa inu.
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.
chifukwa Mwanawankhosa wakukhala pakati pa mpando wachifumu adzawaweta, nadzawatsogolera ku akasupe a madzi amoyo, ndipo Mulungu adzawapukutira misozi yonse pamaso pao.
ndipo adzawapukutira misozi yonse kuichotsa pamaso pao; ndipo sipadzakhalanso imfa; ndipo sipadzakhalanso maliro, kapena kulira, kapena chowawitsa; zoyambazo zapita.
Ndipo sipadzakhalanso temberero lililonse; ndipo mpando wachifumu wa Mulungu ndi wa Mwanawankhosa udzakhala momwemo; ndipo akapolo ake adzamtumikira Iye,
