53 Mau a Mulungu Pankhondo Yauzimu
Mukufuna kupempherera ena, muyenera kukhala oleza mtima, okhulupirira, achikondi, komanso odzipereka. Kupempherera ena ndikuwerama pamaso pa Mulungu, ndikupempha chifukwa cha zosowa za m'bale wanu, ndikudziyika mu nsapato zawo. Kuti Mulungu alowererepo m'moyo wawo, muyenera kudziiwala nokha ndikupemphera kuchokera pansi pa mtima wanu kuti munthu amene mukumupemphererayo aone ulemerero wa Ambuye pazosowa zake.
Ngakhale simutchula zosowa zanu kwa Yesu, adzakusamalirani ndi kukugwirani dzanja lake. Mukampempherera ena, mumadzipemphereranso nokha. Choncho, dzadzani ndi chifundo ndipo musaleke kupemphera mpaka mutawona kuti mavuto asanduka mtendere wosatheka kufotokoza. Monga mmene mvula yamkuntho imasinthira kukhala bata, momwemonso mavuto a m’bale wanu adzasinthika.
Kupempherera ena ndi chikondi, ndi kulira pamaso pa Mulungu, ndikupempha moyo wa wina. Mukampempherera wina, mungamve ululu wawo ndi zosowa zawo. Ndikukulimbikitsani kuti mupemphere, muchite mapemphero, zopempha, ndi mayamiko chifukwa cha anthu onse. (1 Timoteo 2:1)
Ndi zoona kuti ndife anthu, koma sitimenya nkhondo motsata za anthu chabe.
Pakuti zida zathu zakhondo si za anthu chabe, koma ndi mphamvu zochokera kwa Mulungu zotha kuwononga malinga. Timagonjetsa maganizo onyenga,
Paja sitikulimbana ndi anthu chabetu ai. Tikulimbana ndi maufumu, aulamuliro ndi mphamvu za dziko lino lapansi lamdima, ndiponso ndi mizimu yoipa yamumlengalenga.
Momwemonso Mzimu Woyera amatithandiza. Ndife ofooka, osadziŵa m'mene tiyenera kupempherera. Nchifukwa chake Mzimu Woyera mwiniwake amatipempherera ndi madandaulo osafotokozeka.
Akuti: Unditame mopemba, ndipo ndidzakuyankha. Ndidzakuuza zinsinsi zazikulu zimene suzidziŵa.
Pakuti zida zathu zakhondo si za anthu chabe, koma ndi mphamvu zochokera kwa Mulungu zotha kuwononga malinga. Timagonjetsa maganizo onyenga,
Usiku uli pafupi kutha, ndipo mbandakucha wayandikira. Tiyeni tsono tileke ntchito za mdima, tivale zida zomenyera nkhondo kutayera.
Mayendedwe athu akhale oyenera, ngati a anthu oyenda usana. Pasakhale dyera kapena kuledzera, dama kapena zonyansa, ndeu kapena nsanje.
Ambuye Yesu Khristu mwini akhale chida chanu chankhondo. Lekani mtima wofunafuna zosangalatsa thupi, musagonjere zilakolako zake zoipa.
Potsiriza ndikuti, dzilimbitseni mwa Ambuye, mwa mphamvu yao yaikulu.
Valani zida zonse zimene Mulungu akupatsani, kuti muthe kulimbika polimbana ndi ndale za Satana.
Paja sitikulimbana ndi anthu chabetu ai. Tikulimbana ndi maufumu, aulamuliro ndi mphamvu za dziko lino lapansi lamdima, ndiponso ndi mizimu yoipa yamumlengalenga.
Muzipemphera mosafookera, ndipo pamene mukupemphera, muzikhala tcheru ndiponso oyamika Mulungu.
“Ndikunenetsanso kuti aŵiri mwa inu mutavomerezana pansi pano popempha kanthu kalikonse, Atate anga akumwamba adzakupatsani.
Tsono Mose adabwerera kwa Chauta nakanena kuti, “Anthu aŵa adachimwa koopsa. Adadzipangira milungu yagolide.
Koma tsopano, chonde muŵakhululukire machimo ao. Mukapanda kuŵakhululukira, chonde mufafanize dzina langa m'buku m'mene mudalemba.”
Musade nkhaŵa ndi kanthu kalikonse, koma m'mapemphero anu onse muzipempha Mulungu zimene zikusoŵani, ndipo nthaŵi zonse muzipemphe ndi mtima woyamika.
Ndi zoona kuti ndife anthu, koma sitimenya nkhondo motsata za anthu chabe.
Pakuti zida zathu zakhondo si za anthu chabe, koma ndi mphamvu zochokera kwa Mulungu zotha kuwononga malinga. Timagonjetsa maganizo onyenga,
ndiponso kudzikuza kulikonse koletsa anthu kudziŵa Mulungu. Timagonjetsa ganizo lililonse kuti limvere Khristu.
Khalani odziletsa, khalani maso. Mdani wanu Satana amakhala akuyenda uku ndi uku ngati mkango wobangula, kufunafuna woti amudye.
Mulimbane naye mutakhazikika m'chikhulupiriro, podziŵa kuti akhristu anzanu pa dziko lonse lapansi nawonso alikumva zoŵaŵa zomwezi.
Chauta ali pafupi ndi onse amene amamutama mopemba. Ali pafupi ndi onse amene amamutama mokhulupirika.
Tsono choyamba ndikukupemphani kuti pakhale mapemphero opempherera anthu onse. Mapemphero ake akhale opemba, opempha ndi othokoza Mulungu.
Tiyeni tsono, tiyandikire mopanda mantha ku mpando wachifumu wa Mulungu wokoma mtima. Kumeneko tidzalandira chifundo, ndipo mwa kukoma mtima kwa Mulungu tidzapeza thandizo pa nthaŵi yake yeniyeni.
Koma inu, ana anga, ndinu ake a Mulungu, ndipo mwaŵapambana aneneri onamawo. Pakuti Iye amene ali mwa inu, ndi wopambana iye uja amene ali mwa anthu odalira zapansipano.
Koma Ine ndakupempherera, kuti usaleke kundikhulupirira. Ndipo iweyo utatembenuka mtima, ukaŵalimbitse abale akoŵa.”
Nchifukwa chake valani zida zonse za Mulungu. Pamenepo mudzatha kulimbika, osagonja pa tsiku loipa, ndipo mutatsiriza kulimbanaku, mudzaimabe kuti nji.
Imirirani tsono mutavala choona ngati lamba m'chiwuno mwanu. Valani chilungamo ngati chovala chachitsulo chotchinjirizira pachifuwa panu.
Ndipo changu chanu polalika Uthenga Wabwino wa mtendere chikhale ngati nsapato zanu.
Nthaŵi zonse mukhale ndi chikhulupiriro ngati chishango chanu chokutetezani, chimene mudzatha kuzimitsira mivi yonse yoyakamoto ya Satana.
Landirani chipulumutso ngati chisoti chanu, ndi mau a Mulungu ngati lupanga limene Mzimu Woyera akupatsani.
Paja mau a Mulungu ndi amoyo ndi ogwira ntchito mwamphamvu. Ndi akuthwa koposa lupanga lakuthwa konsekonse. Amabaya mpaka molumikizirana mwa moyo ndi mzimu, ndiponso molumikizirana mfundo ndi mafuta a m'mafupa. Amaweruza ngakhale zimene anthu amalingalira ndi kulakalaka m'mitima mwao.
Inu nomwe muthandizane nafe pakutipempherera. Pamenepo anthu ambiri adzathokoza Mulungu m'malo mwathu, chifukwa cha zimene Iye adatichitira mwa kukoma mtima kwake.
Abale athuwo adamgonjetsa ndi magazi a Mwanawankhosa uja, ndiponso ndi mau amene iwo ankaŵachitira umboni. Iwo adadzipereka kotheratu, kotero kuti sadaope ngakhale kufa.
Chitani zonse mopemphera, ndi kupempha chithandizo cha Mulungu nthaŵi zonse. Nthaŵi iliyonse muzipemphera motsogoleredwa ndi Mzimu Woyera. Nchifukwa chake muchezere kupemphera mosalekeza, kupempherera anthu onse a Mulungu.
Pakuti khalidwelo limalakalaka zotsutsana ndi zimene Mzimu Woyera afuna, ndipo zimene Mzimu Woyera afuna zimatsutsana ndi zimene khalidwe lokonda zoipalo limafuna. Ziŵirizi zimadana, kotero kuti simungachite zimene mufuna kuchita.
Chabwino, koma Ine ndikukuuzani kuti muzikonda adani anu ndipo muziŵapempherera amene amakuzunzani.
Tsiku lina anthu adadandaula, Chauta alikumva. Chauta atamva zimenezo, adapsa mtima, ndipo moto wa Chautayo udayaka pa anthuwo, nupsereza mbali imodzi ya mahema ao.
Mose adaŵamva anthu aja akulira m'mabanja mwao monse, aliyense atakhala pakhomo pa hema lake. Chauta adaapsa mtima kwambiri, ndipo nayenso Mose adaaipidwa nazo.
Mose adafunsa Chauta kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani mwandivutitsa chotere mtumiki wanune? Chifukwa chiyani simudandikomere mtima, mpaka kundisenzetsa katundu wa anthu onseŵa?
Kodi ndidaatenga pathupi pa anthu onseŵa ndine? Kodi ndidaŵabala ndine, kuti Inu muzindiwuza kuti ndiŵafungate pachifuwa panga, monga momwe mlezi amachitira poyamwitsa mwana, ndipo kuti ndipite nawo ku dziko limene mudalonjeza makolo ao molumbira kuti mudzaŵapatsa?
Kodi nyama yoti ndiŵapatse anthu onseŵa, ndiitenga kuti? Iwowo akundilirira ine kuti, ‘Tipatseni nyama, tidye.’
Ine sindingathe kuŵasamala ndekha anthu onseŵa. Katundu ameneyu sindingathe kumsenza.
Ndipotu mukafuna kundichita zimenezi, mungondipha basi, ngati mwandikomera mtima, kuti ndisaonenso mavutowo.”
Chauta adauza Mose kuti, “Usonkhanitse amuna makumi asanu ndi aŵiri mwa akuluakulu a Aisraele, anthu amene ukuŵadziŵa kuti ndi atsogoleri ndi akapitao a anthu. Ubwere nawo ku chihema chamsonkhano, ndipo aime kumeneko pamodzi ndi iwe.
Ine nditsika kudzalankhula nawe komweko. Ndidzatengako mzimu uli pa iwe ndi kuuika pa iwowo. Ndipo adzasenza nawe katundu wa anthuwo, kuti usasenzenso wekha.
Uŵauze anthuwo kuti, ‘Mudziyeretse, kukonzekera zamaŵa, ndipo mudzadya nyama. Inuyo mudalira Chauta alikumva, pamene munkati, “Ndani atipatse nyama tidye? Paja zinthu zinkatiyendera bwino ku Ejipito.” Nchifukwa chake Chauta adzakupatsani nyama, ndipo mudzadya.
Simudzaidya tsiku limodzi lokha, kapena masiku aŵiri okha, kapena masiku asanu okha, kapena masiku khumi okha, kapena masiku makumi aŵiri okha ai.
Tsono anthu adalira kwa Mose, ndipo Moseyo atapemphera kwa Chauta, pompo motowo udazilala.
Uzimenya nkhondo yabwino ya kusunga chikhulupiriro, mpaka ukalandire moyo wosatha. Paja Mulungu adakuitanira zimenezi, ndipo udavomera bwino chikhulupiriro chako pamaso pa mboni zambiri.
“Ndithu ndikunenetsa kuti chilichonse chimene mudzamanga pansi pano, chidzamangidwa ndi Kumwamba komwe, ndipo chilichonse chimene mudzamasula pansi pano, chidzamasulidwa ndi Kumwamba komwe.
osalola kuti adani anu azikuwopsezani pa kanthu kalikonse. Zimenezi zidzaŵatsimikizira kuti iwowo adzaonongeka, koma inu mudzapulumuka. Mulungu ndiye amene adzakuchitirani zimenezi.
Kanthu kenanso ndi aka: undikonzere malo, chifukwa ndikhulupirira kuti Mulungu adzamvera mapemphero a inu nonse, ndi kundibwezera kwa inu.
Ndakupatsanitu mphamvu kuti muziponda njoka ndi zinkhanira, ndi kumagonjetsa mphamvu zonse za mdani uja. Palibe kanthu kamene kangakupwetekeni.
Choncho Yobe ataŵapempherera abwenzi ake aja, Chauta adambwezera chuma chake. Adampatsa moŵirikiza kuposa zimene adaali nazo kale.
Nchifukwa chake valani zida zonse za Mulungu. Pamenepo mudzatha kulimbika, osagonja pa tsiku loipa, ndipo mutatsiriza kulimbanaku, mudzaimabe kuti nji.
Imirirani tsono mutavala choona ngati lamba m'chiwuno mwanu. Valani chilungamo ngati chovala chachitsulo chotchinjirizira pachifuwa panu.
Ndipo changu chanu polalika Uthenga Wabwino wa mtendere chikhale ngati nsapato zanu.
Nthaŵi zonse mukhale ndi chikhulupiriro ngati chishango chanu chokutetezani, chimene mudzatha kuzimitsira mivi yonse yoyakamoto ya Satana.
Landirani chipulumutso ngati chisoti chanu, ndi mau a Mulungu ngati lupanga limene Mzimu Woyera akupatsani.
Chitani zonse mopemphera, ndi kupempha chithandizo cha Mulungu nthaŵi zonse. Nthaŵi iliyonse muzipemphera motsogoleredwa ndi Mzimu Woyera. Nchifukwa chake muchezere kupemphera mosalekeza, kupempherera anthu onse a Mulungu.
Motero mwa Khristu Mulungu adaŵalanda zida maufumu ndi maulamuliro onse, ndipo pamaso pa onse, adaŵayendetsa ngati akaidi pa mdipiti wokondwerera kupambana kwake.
Ndipo adagwada pansi nafuula kwakukulu kuti, “Ambuye, musaŵaŵerengere tchimoli.” Atanena mau ameneŵa, adafa.
“Mumvetse bwino! Ndikukutumani ngati nkhosa pakati pa mimbulu. Ndiye inu khalani ochenjera ngati njoka, ndi ofatsa ngati nkhunda.
Paja Mzimu amene Mulungu adatipatsa, si Mzimu wotipatsa mtima wa mantha ai, koma Mzimu wotipatsa mphamvu, chikondi ndi kudzigwira.
Atamandike Chauta, thanthwe langa londitchinjiriza, amene amaphunzitsa manja anga ndi zala zanga kumenya nkhondo.
Umve nao zoŵaŵa monga msilikali wabwino wa Khristu Yesu.
Msilikali amene akumenya nkhondo sasamalako ntchito zakumudzi, chifukwa iye amangofuna kukondweretsa mkulu wa ankhondo.
Popeza kuti ponse pozungulira pali mboni zambirimbiri chotere, tiyeni tichotse kalikonse kotichedwetsa, makamaka tchimo limene limatikangamira, ndipo tithamange ndi khama mpikisano umene tayambawu.
Azibambo athu apansipanowo ankatilanga pa kanthaŵi kochepa kokha, akazindikira kuti nkofunika. Koma Mulungu amatilanga kuti tipindulepo, ndipo tilandireko kuyera mtima kwake.
Pamene munthu akulandira chilango, kwa iye chilangocho chimaoneka ngati chinthu chomvetsa chisoni, ndi chosakondweretsa. Koma anthu amene adaleredwa mwa njira imeneyi, pambuyo pake amapata mtendere umene uli chipatso cha moyo wolungama.
Limbitsani tsono manja anu ofooka ndiponso maondo anu agooka.
Muziyenda m'njira zoongoka, kuti miyendo yopunduka isagweduke, koma ichiritsidwe.
Yesetsani kukhala ndi mtendere ndi anthu onse, ndi kukhala oyera mtima, pakuti palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene adzaona Ambuye popanda kuyera mtimako.
Chenjerani kuti wina aliyense asabwerere m'mbuyo nkutaya madalitso a Mulungu. Chenjerani kuti wina aliyense asakhale ngati muzu woŵaŵa, umene umaphuka nkuvuta ena ambiri ndi ululu wake.
Chenjerani kuti wina aliyense asakhale wadama, kapena wonyoza zauzimu, monga Esau, amene adaagulitsa ukulu wake ndi chakudya cha kamodzi kokha.
Paja mukudziŵa kuti, pambuyo pake adaafuna kulandira madalitso a atate ake, koma zidakanika, chifukwa sadathenso kusintha maganizo, ngakhale adaalakalaka kutero molira mizozi.
Inu simudachite monga Aisraele aja, amene adaafika ku chinthu chimene adaatha kuchikhudza, ndiye kuti ku Phiri la Sinai, lija linali loyaka moto, lamdima wa bii, la mphepo yamkuntho;
limene panali kulira kwa lipenga, ndiponso kumveka kwa mau. Anthu atamva mauwo, adaapempha kuti asaŵamvenso konse,
Maso athu azipenyetsetsa Yesu amene ali woyambitsa chikhulupiriro chathu, ndiponso wochifikitsa pake penipeni. Chifukwa cha chimwemwe chimene chinkamudikira, Iyeyo adapirira zoŵaŵa zapamtanda. Adaŵanyoza manyazi a imfa yotere, ndipo tsopano akukhala ku dzanja lamanja la mpando wachifumu wa Mulungu.
Koma iwe palibe chida chopangidwa ndi mdani chimene chidzakupweteke. Onse okuneneza udzaŵatsutsa. Ndimo adzapezera atumiki anga, ndipo ndidzaŵapambanitsa ndine,” akuterotu Chauta.
Paja ndinu mudandipatsa mphamvu zomenyera nkhondo, ndinu mudandigonjetsera anthu ondiwukira.
Usiku uli pafupi kutha, ndipo mbandakucha wayandikira. Tiyeni tsono tileke ntchito za mdima, tivale zida zomenyera nkhondo kutayera.
Kale inu munali akufa chifukwa cha zolakwa zanu ndi machimo anu.
Mulungu ndiye adatipanga. Adatilenga mwa Khristu Yesu kuti moyo wathu ukhale wogwira ntchito zabwino zimene Iye adakonzeratu kuti tizichite.
Inu amene mtundu wanu sindinu Ayuda, kumbukirani m'mene munaliri kale. Ayuda amadzitchula oumbala, chifukwa cha mwambo umene amachita pa thupi lao, ndipo inu amakutchulani osaumbala.
Tsono kumbukirani kuti nthaŵi imene ija munali opanda Khristu. Munali alendo, ndipo simunali a mtundu wa anthu osankhidwa ndi Mulungu. Munali opanda gawo pa zimene Mulungu, mwa zipangano zake, adaalonjeza anthu ake. Munkakhala pansi pano opanda chiyembekezo, opandanso Mulungu.
Koma tsopano, mwa Khristu Yesu, inu amene kale lija munali kutali ndi Mulungu, mwakhala pafupi, chifukwa cha imfa ya Khristu.
Khristu mwini wake ndiye mtendere wathu. Iye adasandutsa Ayuda ndi anthu a mitundu ina kuti akhale amodzi. Pakupereka thupi lake, adagamula khoma la chidani limene linkatilekanitsa.
Iye adathetsa Malamulo a Mose pamodzi ndi malangizo ake ndi miyambo yake. Adachita zimenezi kuti kuchokera ku mitundu iŵiri ija, alenge mtundu umodzi watsopano, wokhala mwa Iye, kuti choncho adzetse mtendere.
Khristu adafa pa mtanda kuti athetse chidani, ndipo kuti mwa mtandawo aphatikize pamodzi m'thupi limodzi mitundu iŵiriyo, ndi kuiyanjanitsa ndi Mulungu.
Khristu adadzalalika Uthenga Wabwino wa mtendere kwa inu a mitundu inanu, amene munali kutali ndi Mulungu, ndiponso kwa Ayuda, amene anali pafupi naye.
Tsopano kudzera mwa Khristu ife tonse, Ayuda ndi a mitundu ina, tingathe kufika kwa Atate mwa Mzimu Woyera mmodzi yemweyo.
Nchifukwa chake tsono, inu amene simuli Ayuda, sindinunso alendo kapena akudza ai, koma ndinu nzika pamodzi ndi anthu ake a Mulungu, ndiponso ndinu a m'banja lake la Mulungu.
Pa nthaŵi imeneyo, munkayenda m'zoipa potsata nzeru zapansipano, ndipo munkamvera mkulu wa aulamuliro amumlengalenga. Mkuluyo ndi mzimu woipa umene ukugwira ntchito tsopano pakati pa anthu oukira Mulungu.
Ndinu omangidwa pamodzi m'nyumba yomangidwa pa maziko amene ndi atumwi ndi aneneri, ndipo Khristu Yesu mwini ndiye mwala wapangodya.
Mwa Iyeyu nyumba yonse ikumangidwa molimba, ndipo ikukula kuti ikhale nyumba yopatulika ya Ambuye.
Mwa Iyeyu inunso mukumangidwa pamodzi ndi ena onse, kuti mukhale nyumba yokhalamo Mulungu mwa Mzimu Woyera.
Nthaŵi imene ija ifenso tonse tinali ndi moyo wonga wao, ndipo tinkatsata zilakolako za khalidwe lathu lokonda zoipa. Tinkachitanso zilizonse zimene matupi athu ndi maganizo athu ankasirira. Nchifukwa chake, mwachibadwa chathu, tinali oyenera mkwiyo wa Mulungu, monga anthu ena onse.
Pa nthaŵi imeneyo, munkayenda m'zoipa potsata nzeru zapansipano, ndipo munkamvera mkulu wa aulamuliro amumlengalenga. Mkuluyo ndi mzimu woipa umene ukugwira ntchito tsopano pakati pa anthu oukira Mulungu.
Pambuyo pake ndidaona Kumwamba kutatsekuka, kavalo woyera nkuwoneka. Wokwerapo wake dzina lake ndi “Wokhulupirika”, ndiponso “Woona.” Poweruza, ndi pomenya nkhondo, amachita molungama.
Maso ake anali psuu ngati malaŵi a moto, ndipo pamutu pake panali zisoti zaufumu zambiri. Anali ndi dzina lolembedwa, lolidziŵa iye yekha, osati wina aliyense.
Chovala chake chinali choviika m'magazi, ndipo ankatchedwa, “Mau a Mulungu.”
Magulu a ankhondo a Kumwamba ankamutsatira atakwera akavalo oyera, ndipo iwowo atavala zabafuta, zoyera ndi zangwiro.
M'kamwa mwake munali lupanga lakuthwa lotulukira kunja, loti adzalangire mitundu ya anthu. Adzaŵalamulira ndi ndodo yachitsulo, ndipo m'chopondera mphesa adzaponda mphesa za vinyo wa mkwiyo waukali wa Mulungu Mphambe.
Pa mkanjo wake, ndi pantchafu pake padaalembedwa dzina loti, “Mfumu ya mafumu onse, ndi Mbuye wa ambuye onse.”
