99 Mau a Mulungu Pa Chilungamo
Ndikufuna ndikuuzeni anzanga, kodi Mulungu amafuna chiyani kwa ife? Baibulo limatiuza momveka bwino mu Mika 6:8 kuti tiyenera kuchita chilungamo, kukonda chifundo, ndikuyenda modzichepetsa ndi Mulungu wathu. Taganizirani zimenezi, kuchita chilungamo sikokwanira, koma tiyenera kukonda kuchita zabwino kwa ena ndipo nthawi zonse tizidzichepetsa pamaso pa Mulungu.
Mulungu ndi woyera, ndipo sadzilekerera zoipa. Amadana ndi uchimo ndipo sadzalephera kuulanga. Kuganizira za mkwiyo wa Mulungu kumatithandiza kuzindikira uchimo. Tiyenera kuopa Mulungu, koma osati mantha oipa, koma ulemu waukulu chifukwa cha mphamvu zake ndi ubwino wake. Ulemu umenewu umatipangitsa kumulambira ndi kumutamanda monga Mfumu wa mafumu. Ndi iye amene adzatipulumutsa ku mkwiyo wake.
Koma chilungamo cha Mulungu sichongofuna kulanga. M’buku la Yesaya 42:1, tikuona mbali ina ya chilungamo cha Mulungu. Iye anatumiza mtumiki wake, wodzadza ndi Mzimu Woyera, kuti abweretse chilungamo padziko lonse lapansi. Chilungamo chimenechi ndi chikondi, chifundo, ndi chipulumutso kwa onse okhulupirira.
Iyai, Chauta adakuwonetsa kale, munthu iwe, chimene chili chabwino. Zimene akufuna kuti uzichita ndi izi: uzichita zolungama, uzikhala wachifundo, ndipo uziyenda modzichepetsa pamaso pa Mulungu wako.
Chauta akuuza anthu ake kuti, “Muzichita zabwino ndi zolungama, chifukwa ndikuwombolani posachedwa, chipulumutso changa chiwoneka.”
Phunzirani kuchita zabwino. Funafunani chilungamo, opsinjidwa muŵathandize. Tetezani ana amasiye, muŵaimirire pa milandu yao akazi amasiye.”
“Musamaweruza mopanda chilungamo. Musachite tsankho pakati pa anthu osoŵa ndi anthu otchuka, koma muziweruza mnzanu mwachilungamo.
Koma kuweruza kwanu kwangwiro kuziyenda kosalekeza ngati madzi, kulungama kwanu kukhale ngati mtsinje wosaphwa.
Tsoka kwa amene amapanga malamulo opanda chilungamo, ndi kwa alembi amene amalemba zongovutitsa anzao. Ine ndidakantha mafumu a anthu opembedza mafano, amene mafano ao ndi aakulu kupambana a ku Yerusalemu ndi a ku Samariya. Ndiye ndingalephere kuwononga Yerusalemu pamodzi ndi mafano ake omwe, monga momwe ndidachitira Samariya ndi mafano ake?” Ambuye atamaliza ntchito yao yolanga onse pa phiri la Ziyoni ndiponso ku Yerusalemu, adzalanganso mfumu ya ku Asiriya, chifukwa cha kudzitama kwake ndi kunyada kwake. Pakuti mfumuyo ikuti, “Ndachita zimenezi ndi mphamvu zanga ndiponso ndi nzeru zanga, pakuti kumvetsa nkwanga. Ndachotsa malire a mitundu ya anthu, ndipo ndafunkha chuma chao. Ndaŵatsitsa amene anali pa mipando yaufumu. Dzanja langa lagwira chuma cha mitundu ya anthu, monga momwe munthu amagwirira chisa cha mbalame. Monga momwe anthu amatolera mazira osiyidwa, ndimo m'mene Ine ndidasonkhanitsira dziko lonse lapansi. Ndipo panalibe mbalame ndi imodzi yomwe yoti mapiko phephere-phephere, kapena yoti kukamwa yasa kapena yolira kuti psepsepse.” Koma Chauta akuti: “Kodi nkhwangwa ingathe kudzikuza kupambana munthu woigwiritsa ntchito? Kodi sowo ingathe kudzikuza kupambana munthu woigwiritsa ntchito? Ndiye kukhala ngati kuti mkwapulo ukuzunguza munthu, kapena ndodo yanyamula munthu!” Nchifukwa chake Ambuye, Chauta Wamphamvuzonse, adzatumiza matenda oondetsa kwa ankhondo amphamvu a mfumu ya ku Asiriya. Ndipo mfumuyo kunyada kwake kudzapsa ndi moto wosazimika. Mulungu, Kuŵala kwa Israele, adzakhala ngati moto. Mulungu, Woyera Uja wa Israele, adzakhala ngati malaŵi a moto. Motowo udzaŵatentha ndi kuŵapsereza ngati minga ndi mkandankhuku pa tsiku limodzi. Adzaononga nkhalango yaikulu ndi nthaka yachonde. Zidzaonongeka m'kati ndi kunja kwake, ndipo zidzakhala ngati munthu wodwala amene akuwonda. Mitengo yotsalira yam'nkhalangomo idzakhala yochepa kwambiri, yoti ndi mwana yemwe nkuiŵerenga. Pakutero amapotoza malamulo poweruza amphaŵi mosalungama. Amaŵalanda zoŵayenerera anthu anga osauka, amafunkha za akazi amasiye ndi kubera ana amasiye!
Mukonde osati china ai, koma chilungamo chokha basi, kuti mudzalandiredi dziko limene Chauta, Mulungu wanu, akukupatsani ngati choloŵa chanu, ndi kukhazikikamo.
“Zimene ndikunena Ine Chauta Wamphamvuzonse ndi izi: Muziweruzana molungama. Muzimverana chisoni ndi kuchitirana chifundo.
“Atembereredwe aliyense woweruza mopotoza milandu ya alendo, ya ana amasiye, ndi ya akazi amasiye.” Ndipo anthu onse adzayankhe kuti, “Inde, momwemo!”
Munthu wosalankhula umlankhulire ndiwe. Anthu osiyidwa uŵalankhulire pa zoŵayenerera. Uzilankhula ndi kuweruza mwachilungamo. Uziteteza amphaŵi ndi osauka.
Inu tetezani anthu ofooka ndi amasiye mwachilungamo. Weruzani molungama ozunzika ndi amphaŵi. “Landitsani ofooka ndi osoŵa. Apulumutseni kwa anthu oipa.”
Chautatu akuti uziweruza molungama ndi mosakondera. Munthu amene adambera zake uzimpulumutsa kwa womsautsa. Usavutitse mlendo, mwana wamasiye kapena mkazi wamasiye. Usakhetse magazi a anthu osachimwa pa malo ano.
Amachitira anthu opsinjidwa zolungama, amaŵapatsa chakudya anthu anjala. Chauta amamasula am'ndende. Chauta amatsekula maso a anthu osapenya, Chauta amakweza anthu otsitsidwa. Chauta amakonda anthu ochita chilungamo. Chauta amateteza alendo, amachirikiza mkazi wamasiye ndiponso mwana wamasiye. Koma njira za anthu oipa amazipotoza.
“Mzimu wa Chauta wadzaza mwa Ine. Wandidzoza kuti ndikalalikire amphaŵi Uthenga Wabwino. Wandituma kuti ndikalengeze kwa am'ndende kuti adzamasulidwa, ndi kwa akhungu kuti adzapenyanso. Wandituma kuti ndikaŵapatse ufulu anthu osautsidwa,
Mfumuyo idzaŵayankha kuti, ‘Ndithu ndikunenetsa kuti nthaŵi iliyonse pamene munkamuchitira zimenezi wina aliyense mwa abale anga ngakhale otsika kwambiriŵa, munkachitira Ine amene.’
Chipembedzo choona ndi changwiro pamaso pa Mulungu amene ali Atate, ndi ichi: kusamalira ana amasiye ndi akazi amasiye pa mavuto ao, ndiponso kudzisunga bwino, kuwopa kudetsedwa ndi zoipa za m'dziko lapansi.
Inu Mulungu, patsaniko mfumu nzeru zoweruzira, patsaniko mwana wa mfumu mtima wokonda chilungamo. Mafumu a ku Tarisisi ndi akuzilumba adzaipatsa mitulo, mafumu a ku Sheba ndi a ku Seba adzabwera ndi mphatso. Mafumu onse adzaigwadira ndipo mitundu yonse ya anthu idzaitumikira. Ndithu iyo idzalanditsa anthu osoŵa amene amaiitana, idzapulumutsa anthu osauka ndiponso opanda woŵathandiza. Idzamvera chisoni anthu ofooka ndi osoŵa, ndipo idzapulumutsa moyo wa anthu aumphaŵi. Idzaombola moyo wao kwa anthu oŵapsinja ndi kwa oŵachita zankhanza, pakuti magazi ao ndi amtengowapatali pamaso pake. Ikhale ndi moyo wautali! Golide wa ku Sheba apatsidwe kwa mfumuyo. Anthu aipempherere nthaŵi zonse, aipemphere madalitso kosalekeza. M'dziko mukhale chakudya chambiri, pamwambanso pa mapiri pakhale dzinthu. Zipatso zake zichuluke ngati za ku Lebanoni, anthu ake achuluke m'mizindamo ngati udzu wakuthengo. Dzina lake lisaiŵalike konse, mbiri yake ikhalepobe monga momwe limakhalira dzuŵa. Anthu alandire madalitso chifukwa cha iyo, a mitundu yonse aitche yodala. Atamandike Chauta, Mulungu wa Israele. Iye yekha ndiye amene amachita zinthu zodabwitsa. Dzina lake laulemerero litamandike mpaka muyaya. Ulemerero wake udzaze dziko lonse lapansi. Inde momwemo. Inde momwemo. Motero mfumuyo idzaweruza anthu anu molungama ndiponso anthu anu osauka mosakondera. Ano ndiwo mathero a mapemphero a Davide, mwana wa Yese. Mapiri adzabweretsa madalitso kwa anthu, magomo adzadzetsa mphotho ya chilungamo. Mfumu idzateteza anthu osauka, idzapulumutsa anthu osoŵa, koma idzaononga anthu ozunza anzao.
“Kusala koona kumene ndimafuna ndi uku: masulani maunyolo ozunzira anzanu, masulani nsinga za goli la kuweruza mokondera. Opsinjidwa muŵapatse ufulu, muthetse ukapolo uliwonse. Anthu anjala muziŵagaŵirako chakudya chanu, osoŵa pokhala muziŵapatsako malo. Mukaona wausiŵa, mpatseni chovala, musalephere kuthandiza amene ali abale anu.
China chimene ndidachiwona pansi pano ndi ichi: Koyenera kukhala chiweruzo chabwino, komwekonso kumapezeka kuipa mtima. Koyenera kukhala chilungamo, komwekonso kumapezeka zoipa. Ndiye ine ndidayamba kulingalira kuti, “Mulungu adzaŵaweruza onse, abwino ndi oipa omwe, pakuti adaika nthaŵi yochitikira chinthu chilichonse ndiponso ntchito iliyonse.”
Okondedwa anga, musabwezere choipa, koma alekeni, mkwiyo wa Mulungu ndiwo uŵalange. Paja Malembo akuti, “Kulipsira nkwanga. Ndidzaŵalanga ndine, akutero Chauta.”
Muzithandizana kusenza zokulemetsani, ndipo pakutero mumvere ndithu lamulo la Khristu.
Chauta, mumamva zimene odzichepetsa amapempha. Mudzalimbitsa mitima yao, mudzaŵatchera khutu. Potero mudzaŵateteza amasiye ndi opsinjidwa, kuti anthu amene ali a pansi pano, asadzathe kuwopsezanso.
“Ine Chauta ndimakonda chilungamo, ndimadana ndi zakuba ndi zoipa. Anthu anga ndidzaŵapatsa mphotho mokhulupirika, ndidzapangana nawo chipangano chosatha.
Wopondereza mmphaŵi, amachita chipongwe Mlengi wake, koma wochitira chifundo osauka, amalemekeza Mlengi wake.
Chauta amakonda chilungamo, sadzaŵasiya okha anthu ake okhulupirika. Iye adzawasunga mpaka muyaya, koma adzaononga ana a anthu oipa.
Zomwe mukufuna kuti anthu akuchitireni, inuyo muŵachitire zomwezo. Izi ndiye zimene Malamulo a Mose ndiponso aneneri amaphunzitsa.
Alendo kapena ana amasiye musaŵalande zao zoŵayenera, poŵapotozera mlandu wao. Ndipo mkazi wamasiye musamlande chovala kuti chikhale pinyolo ya ngongole.
Munthu wokoma mtima amasamalira zoyenerera osauka, koma munthu woipa salabadako za zimenezo.
Anthu onse oipa a pa dziko lapansi, mumaŵayesa ngati zakudzala, nchifukwa chake ndimakonda malamulo anu.
Koma munthu akakhala ndi chuma, ndipo aona mnzake ali wosoŵa, iye nkumuumira mtima namumana, kodi chikondi cha Mulungu chingakhalemo bwanji mumtima mwake?
Musanyozere kumachita zachifundo ndi kumathandizana, chifukwa nsembe zotere zimakondweretsa Mulungu.
Munthu woipa amakonda ngongole koma satha kubweza, koma munthu wabwino ali ndi mtima wokoma ndi wopatsa.
Woweruza munthu woipa mtima kuti ndi wosalakwa, amanyansa Chauta, nayenso wopasa mlandu munthu wosalakwa amaipira Chauta.
Ine ndidati, “Imvani inu akuluakulu a Yakobe, olamulira a banja la Israele! Kodi oyenera kudziŵa chilungamo sindinu? Mumamanga Ziyoni ndi chuma chochipata pakupha anthu, Yerusalemu mumammanga ndi kuipa kwanu. Atsogoleri ake saweruza popanda chiphuphu, ansembe ake saphunzitsa popanda malipiro, aneneri ake salosa popanda ndalama. Komabe amagonera pa Chauta ndi kunena kuti, “Kodi suja Chauta ali pakati pathu? Tsoka silingatigwere ai.” Tsono chifukwa cha inu Ziyoni adzatipulidwa ngati munda, Yerusalemu adzasanduka bwinja, ndipo phiri la Nyumba ya Mulungu lidzasanduka nkhalango. Mumadana ndi zabwino, mumakonda zoipa. Anthu anga mumaŵasenda amoyo, ndi kukangadzula mnofu wao.
Munthu aliyense azimvera akulu olamulira, chifukwa palibe ulamuliro umene sudachokere kwa Mulungu. Ndipo olamulira amene alipo, adaŵaika ndi Mulungu. Ngati munthu akonda mnzake, sangamchite choipa ai. Nchifukwa chake amene amakonda mnzake, wasunga zonse zimene Malamulo a Mulungu akunena. Muchite zimenezi chifukwa mukudziŵa kuti yafika kale nthaŵi yakuti mudzuke kutulo. Pakuti chipulumutso chili pafupi tsopano kuposa pamene tidayamba kukhulupirira. 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. Motero munthu wokana kumvera olamulira, akukana dongosolo limene adaliika Mulungu. Ndipo ochita zimenezi, adzadzitengera okha chilango. Olamulira sachititsa mantha anthu a makhalidwe abwino, koma a makhalidwe oipa. Kodi ufuna kukhala wosaopa wolamulira? Uzichita zolungama, ndipo iye adzakuyamikira, pakuti iyeyo ndi mtumiki wa Mulungu wokutsogolera kuchita zabwino. Koma ngati ukuchita zoipa uwope, pakuti ali ndi mphamvu ndithu zokulanga. Iye ndi mtumiki wa Mulungu wogwetsa mkwiyo wa Mulungu pa wochita zoipa, pomulanga.
Chauta akuti, “Nayu mtumiki wanga amene ndimamchirikiza, amene ndamsankhula, amene ndimakondwera naye. Ndaika Mzimu wanga mwa iyeyo, ndipo adzaweruza anthu a mitundu yonse mwachilungamo. Imbirani Chauta nyimbo yatsopano. Mtamandeni, inu okhala m'dziko lonse lapansi! Mtamandeni, inu zolengedwa zonse zam'nyanja. Imbani, inu maiko akutali ndi onse okhala kumeneko. Chipululu ndi mizinda yake zitamande Mulungu. Midzi ya Akedara imuyamike. Okhala mu mzinda wa Sela amuimbire mokondwa, afuule pa nsonga za mapiri. Atamande Chauta, ndipo alalike ulemu wake ku maiko akutali. Chauta akupita ku nkhondo ngati ngwazi, akuutsa ukali wake ngati munthu wankhondo. Akukuŵa, akufuula mfuu zankhondo. Akuwonetsa mphamvu zake pakuposa adani ake. Mulungu akuti, “Ndakhala ndili chete pa nthaŵi yaitali, ndidangoti phee, osachita kanthu. Koma tsopano ndikubuula ngati mkazi pa nthaŵi yake yochira, ndikupuma modukiza ndipo ndili ŵefuŵefu. Ndidzaononga mapiri ndi magomo, ndidzaumitsa udzu ndi mitengo yonse kumeneko. Ndidzasandutsa mitsinje kuti ikhale zilumba, ndipo ndidzaumitsa maiŵe. Ndidzatsogolera anthu akhungu m'miseu imene sadaidziŵe, ndidzaŵaperekeza pa njira zimene sadadzerepo konse. Ndidzasandutsa mdima wa kutsogolo kwao kuti ukhale kuŵala, ndipo ndidzasalaza malo osasalala. Zimenezi ndidzazichitadi ndipo sindidzazilekera padera. Onse amene akhulupirira mafano, amene amatchula mafanowo kuti, ‘Ndinu milungu yathu,’ adzatsitsidwa, ndidzaŵachititsa manyazi kotheratu.” Chauta akuti, “Mverani, agonthi inu! Muyang'ane ndipo mupenye, akhungu inu! Kodi ndani ali wakhungu osakhala mtumiki wanga? Ndani ali gonthi ngati wamthenga amene ndikumtuma? Kodi ndani ali wakhungu ngati wokhulupirika wanga? Ndani ali gonthi ngati mtumiki wa Chauta? Sadzafuula kapena kukweza mau, mau ake sadzamveka mu mseu. Iwe waona zambiri, koma zonsezo sudazisamale. Makutu ako ndi otsekuka, koma suumva.” Chifukwa cha chilungamo chake, Chauta adafunitsitsa kuti malamulo ake akhale opambana ndi aulemu. Koma tsono anthu ameneŵa aŵalanda ndi kuŵafunkhira zinthu zao. Onseŵa adaŵakola m'mbuna, ndi kuŵabisa m'ndende. Adaŵafunkhira, popanda wina woŵapulumutsa, adaŵabera, popanda wina wonena kuti, “Bwezani!” Kodi alipo wina mwa inu amene adzamvetsere zimenezi? Ndani adzatchere khutu ndi kuzisamala kutsogolo kuno? Ndani adapereka Yakobe kwa ofunkha? Ndani adapereka Israele kwa anthu akuba? Kodi akuchita zimenezi si Chauta? Paja tidamchimwira, sitidatsate njira zake, ndipo sitidamvere malamulo ake. Motero adatikwiyira kwambiri, nativutitsa ndi nkhondo. Adayatsa moto ponseponse potizungulira, ife osamvetsa. Moto udatipsereza, koma ife osapezapo phunziro ai. Bango lopindika sadzalithyola, moto wozilala sadzauzima. Adzabweretsa chilungamo mokhulupirika. Sadzafookera kapena kutaya mtima, mpaka atakhazikitsa chilungamocho pa dziko lapansi. Maiko akutali akuyembekeza malamulo ake.”
Akuti, “Mudzakhalabe mukuweruza mopanda chilungamo mpaka liti? Bwanji mukupitirizabe kumakondera anthu oipa? Inu tetezani anthu ofooka ndi amasiye mwachilungamo. Weruzani molungama ozunzika ndi amphaŵi.
Kodi pa thanthwe akavalo nkuthamangapo? Kodi panyanja wina nkulimapo ndi ng'ombe? Komabe chilungamo mwachisandutsa chivumulo, ndipo zaungwiro mwazisandutsa zoŵaŵa.
“Mukamapemphera ndidzakumverani, ndipo mukandiitana ndidzakuyankhani. Mukaleka kuzunza anzanu, mukasiya kulozana chala, mukaleka kunena zoipa za anzanu,
Apo Yesu adati, “Munthu wina ankatsikira ku Yeriko kuchokera ku Yerusalemu. Pa njira achifwamba adamgwira. Adamuvula zovala, nammenya, nkumusiya ali thasa, ali pafupi kufa. “Ndiye zidangochitika kuti wansembe wina ankapita pa njira yomweyo. Pamene adaona munthu uja, adangolambalala. Chimodzimodzinso Mlevi wina adafika pamalopo, ndipo pamene adaona munthuyo, nayenso adangolambalala. Koma Msamariya wina, ali pa ulendo wake, adafikanso pamalo pomwepo. Pamene adaona munthu uja, adamumvera chisoni. Adabwera kwa wovulalayo, nathira mafuta ndi vinyo pa mabala ake, nkuŵamanga. Atatero adamkweza pa bulu wake, nkupita naye ku nyumba ya alendo, namsamalira bwino. M'maŵa mwake adatulutsa ndalama ziŵiri zasiliva, nazipereka kwa mwini nyumba ya alendoyo. Adamuuza kuti, ‘Msamalireni bwino, ndipo mukamwazanso ndalama zina, ndidzakubwezerani pobwera.’ ” Tsono Yesu adafunsa katswiri wa Malamulo uja kuti, “Inu pamenepa mukuganiza bwanji? Mwa anthu atatuŵa, ndani adakhala ngati mnzake wa munthu uja achifwamba adaamugwirayu?” Iye adati, “Amene adamchitira chifundo uja.” Apo Yesu adamuuza kuti, “Pitani tsono, nanunso muzikachita chimodzimodzi.”
Masikelo ndi miyeso ina yoyesera zinthu zikakhala zonyenga, zonsezo zimamunyansa Chauta.
Ukamaona anthu osauka akuzunzika m'dziko, ndiponso anthu ena akupsinja anzao ndi kuŵalanda ufulu wao mwankhanza, usadabwe nazo zimenezo. Paja woyang'anira wokulapo ali naye wina wamkulu kwambiri amene amamuyang'anira. Ndipo palinso akuluakulu enanso oyang'anira iwowo. Alimi onse amatengako dzinthu dzam'minda, koma ndi mfumu yokha imene imaona phindu lake la mindayo.
“Muli ndi tsoka, inu aphunzitsi a Malamulo ndi Afarisi, anthu achiphamaso! Mumapereka chachikhumi cha timbeu tonunkhira, ndi cha timbeu tokometsera chakudya, koma simusamala zazikulu zenizeni pa Malamulo a Mulungu, monga kuweruza molungama, kuchita zachifundo, ndi kukhala okhulupirika. Mukadayenera kuchitadi zimenezi, komabe osasiya zinazo.
Iye adzabwezera aliyense molingana ndi ntchito zake. Anthu amene amafunafuna ulemerero, ulemu ndi moyo pakuchita ntchito zabwino molimbikira, Mulungu adzaŵapatsa moyo wosatha. Koma ochita zaupandu, namatsutsa zoona nkumachita zosalungama, Mulungu adzaŵakwiyira ndi kuŵazazira.
Koma Chauta amakhala pa mpando wake waufumu nthaŵi zonse, adakhazika mpando wake kuti aziweruza. Iye amaweruza dziko lapansi molungama, amagamula milandu ya anthu mosakondera.
“Anthu aamuna akamayambana, ndipo nkupweteka mai wapathupi, maiyo napititsa padera, koma osafa, amene adampwetekayo adzalipira mtengo uliwonse umene mwamuna wa maiyo angadzatchule. Ndipo adzalipira monga momwe anthu oweruza anganenere. Koma maiyo akampweteka, chilango chake chidzakhala chotere: moyo kulipa moyo, diso kulipa diso, dzino kulipa dzino, dzanja kulipa dzanja, phazi kulipa phazi, kutentha ndi moto kulipa kutentha ndi moto, bala kulipa bala, ndipo mkwingwirima kulipa mkwingwirima.
Udzakhazikika m'chilungamo chenicheni. Sudzakhalanso wopanikizika, chifukwa palibe choopa, sudzakhalanso ndi mantha, chifukwa manthawo sadzakufikira.
Ngodala anthu amene akumva njala ndi ludzu lofuna chilungamo, pakuti Mulungu adzakwaniritsa zofuna zao.
Inu abale, Mulungu adakuitanani kuti mukhale mfulu. Koma chenjerani kuti ufulu wanu umenewu usapatse mpata khalidwe lanu lokonda zoipa. Kwenikweni muzitumikirana mwachikondi.
Tsono tiyeni tileke kumaweruzana. Makamaka mutsimikize kuti musachite kanthu kalikonse kophunthwitsa mbale wanu, kapena komchimwitsa.
“Nayu mtumiki wanga amene ndamsankha. Ndimamkonda, ndipo mtima wanga umasangalala naye kwambiri. Ndidzaika Mzimu wanga mwa iyeyo, ndipo adzalalika za chilungamo kwa anthu a mitundu ina.
Anthu amene ali olemera pa zinthu zapansipano, uŵalamule kuti asanyade kapena kudalira chuma chimene sichidziŵika ngati chidzakhalitsa. Koma azidalira Mulungu amene amatipatsa zonse moolowa manja kuti tisangalale nazo.
“Usachite umboni wonama. Munthu wolakwa usamthandize pakumchitira umboni wonama. “Muzibzala mbeu zaka zisanu ndi chimodzi m'munda mwanu, ndi kumakolola mbeuzo. Koma chaka chachisanu ndi chiŵiri mudzaipumuze mindayo. Anthu osauka a mtundu wanu ndiwo adzadye zomera m'mindamo, ndipo nyama zakuthengo zidzadya zotsala. Muzidzachita chimodzimodzi ndi minda yamphesa ndi yaolivi yomwe. “Muzigwira ntchito masiku asanu ndi limodzi, koma pa tsiku lachisanu ndi chiŵiri musamagwira ntchito, kuti ng'ombe zanu zipume pamodzi ndi abulu anu omwe, kutinso akapolo anu ndi alendo omwe apezenso mphamvu. Mumvetse zonse zimene ndakuuzanizi. Musamapemphera kwa milungu ina, ndi maina ake omwe musamaŵatchula. “Muzikhala ndi tsiku lachikondwerero katatu pa chaka, kuti mundilemekeze Ine. Muzikhala ndi tsiku la chikondwerero cha Buledi Wosatupitsa. Monga ndidakulamulirani, muzidya Buledi Wosatupitsa masiku asanu ndi aŵiri pa mwezi wa Abibu, pa nthaŵi yake, chifukwa mudatuluka ku Ejipito mwezi umenewo. Munthu asadzaonekere pamaso panga ali chimanjamanja. Muzikhalanso ndi tsiku la chikondwerero cha Masika pokolola mbeu zoyamba zochokera ku zobzala zanu. Muzikhalanso ndi tsiku la chikondwerero cha kututa zokolola zonse pakutha pa chaka, pamene muika m'nkhokwe dzinthu dzanu dzonse. Anthu aamuna onse aziwonekera pamaso pa Ine Chauta pa masiku atatu ameneŵa. “Mukamapereka magazi a nyama ngati nsembe kwa Ine, musapereke pamodzi ndi buledi wofufumitsa, ndipo mafuta a nyama yopereka pa tsiku langa lachikondwerero asakhale mpaka m'maŵa. “Muzibwera ndi zokolola zoyamba zabwino kwambiri za kumunda kwanu ku Nyumba ya Chauta, Mulungu wanu. “Musamaphika kamwanakanyama mu mkaka wa make. Ngakhale anthu ambiri akamachita choipa, usamavomerezana nawo. Ndipo usamapereka umboni wopotoza chiweruzo m'bwalo lamilandu, kuti ukondweretse anthu ambiri.
Yesu adaŵaphera fanizo pofuna kuŵaphunzitsa kuti azipemphera nthaŵi zonse, osataya mtima. Adati, “Anthu aŵiri adaapita ku Nyumba ya Mulungu kukapemphera. Wina anali Mfarisi, wina anali wokhometsa msonkho. Mfarisiyo adaimirira nayamba kupemphera motere mumtima mwake: ‘Mulungu, ndikukuyamikani kuti ine sindili monga anthu ena onse ai. Iwowo ndi anthu akuba, osalungama ndi adama. Sindilinso monga wokhometsa msonkho uyu ai. Ine ndimasala zakudya kaŵiri pa mlungu, ndipo ndimapereka chachikhumi pa zonse zimene ndimapata.’ Koma wokhometsa msonkho uja adaima kutali, osafuna nkuyang'ana kumwamba komwe. Ankangodzigunda pa chifuwa ndi chisoni nkumanena kuti, ‘Mulungu, mundichitire chifundo ine wochimwane.’ ” Yesu popitiriza mau adati, “Kunena zoona, wokhometsa msonkhoyu adabwerera kwao ali wolungama pamaso pa Mulungu, osati Mfarisi uja ai. Pajatu aliyense wodzikuza adzamchepetsa, ndipo wodzichepetsa, adzamkuza.” Anthu ena ankabwera ndi ana omwe kwa Yesu kuti aŵakhudze. Ophunzira ake poona zimenezi, ankaŵazazira. Koma Yesu adaŵaitana nati, “Alekeni anaŵa azibwera kwa Ine, musaŵaletse. Paja Ufumu wa Mulungu ndi wa anthu otere. Ndithu ndikunenetsa kuti amene salandira Ufumu wa Mulungu ngati mwana, ameneyo sadzaloŵamo.” Mkulu wina adafunsa Yesu kuti, “Aphunzitsi abwino, kodi ndizichita chiyani kuti ndikalandire moyo wosatha?” Yesu adamuyankha kuti, “Ukunditchuliranji wabwino? Wabwinotu ndi mmodzi yekha, Mulungu basi. Adati, “M'mudzi mwina mudaali woweruza wina amene sankaopa Mulungu kapena kulabadako za munthu. Malamulo ukuŵadziŵa: Usachite chigololo, usaphe, usabe, usachite umboni wonama, lemekeza atate ako ndi amai ako.” Munthu uja adati, “Zonsezi ndakhala ndikuzitsata kuyambira ndili mwana.” Pamene Yesu adamva zimenezi, adamuuza kuti, “Ukusoŵabe chinthu chimodzi: kagulitse zonse zimene uli nazo. Ndalama zake ukapatse anthu osauka, ndipo chuma udzachipeza Kumwamba. Kenaka ubwere, uzidzanditsata.” Koma pamene munthu uja adamva zimenezi, adavutika mu mtima, pakuti adaali wolemera kwambiri. Yesu adamuyang'ana, nanena kuti, “Nkwapatali kwambiri kwa anthu achuma kuti akaloŵe mu Ufumu wa Mulungu. Nkwapafupi kuti ngamira idzere pa kachiboo ka zingano, kupambana kuti munthu wolemera akaloŵe mu Ufumu wa Mulungu.” Anthu amene adamva zimenezi adafunsa kuti, “Tsono nanga angathe kupulumuka ndani?” Yesu adati, “Zimene zili zosatheka ndi anthu, zimatheka ndi Mulungu.” Pamenepo Petro adati, “Ifetu paja tidasiya zonse kuti tizikutsatani.” Yesu adaŵauza kuti, “Ndithu ndikunenetsa kuti aliyense wosiya nyumba, kapena mkazi, kapena abale, kapena makolo, kapena ana chifukwa cha Ufumu wa Mulungu, M'mudzi momwemo mudaalinso mai wamasiye. Iyeyu ankabwera kwa woweruza uja kudzampempha kuti, ‘Mundiweruzireko mlandu umene uli pakati pa ine ndi mdani wanga.’ ameneyo pansi pompano adzalandira zonsezo mochuluka kwambiri koposa kale, kenaka kutsogoloko adzalandira moyo wosatha.” Yesu adatengera ophunzira ake pambali, naŵauza kuti, “Tilitu pa ulendo wopita ku Yerusalemu, ndipo zonse zidzachitika zimene aneneri adalemba zokhudza Mwana wa Munthu. Akampereka kwa anthu akunja. Amenewo akamchita chipongwe, akamnyazitsa, ndi kumthira malovu. Akamkwapula, nkumupha, koma mkucha wake Iye adzauka.” Ophunzira aja sadamvetse konse zimenezi. Tanthauzo la mau ameneŵa linali lobisika kwa iwo, nchifukwa chake sadamvetsetse zimene Yesu ankanenazo. Pamene Yesu ankayandikira ku Yeriko, munthu wina wakhungu adaakhala pamphepete pa mseu akupemphapempha kwa anthu. Atamva anthu ambirimbiri akupita mumseumo, adafunsa kuti, “Kodi kuli chiyani?” Adamuyankha kuti, “Kukupita Yesu wa ku Nazarete.” Apo iye adanena mokweza mau kuti, “Inu Yesu, Mwana wa Davide, mundichitire chifundo!” Anthu amene anali patsogolo adamzazira, adati, “Khala chete!” Koma iye adafuulirafuulira kuti, “Inu Mwana wa Davide, chitireni chifundo!” Kwa nthaŵi yaitali woweruza uja ankakana, koma pambuyo pake adaganiza kuti, ‘Ngakhale sindiwopa Mulungu kapena kusamala munthu, Yesu adaima nalamula kuti abwere naye kwa Iye. Atafika pafupi, Yesu adamufunsa kuti, “Kodi ukufuna kuti ndikuchitire chiyani?” Iye adati, “Ambuye, ndikufuna kuti ndizipenyanso.” Yesu adamuuza kuti, “Penya. Chikhulupiriro chako chakuchiritsa.” Nthaŵi yomweyo adapenyanso nayamba kutsata Yesu, akuthokoza Mulungu. Anthu onse aja ataona zimenezi, adatamanda Mulungu. komabe chifukwa mai wamasiyeyu akundivuta, ndimuweruzira mlandu wake, kuwopa kuti angandilemetse nako kubwerabwera kwake.’ ” Tsono Ambuye adati, “Mwamvatu mau a woweruza wosalungama uja. Nanga Mulungu, angaleke kuŵaweruzira mlandu wao osankhidwa ake, amene amamdandaulira usana ndi usiku? Kodi adzangoŵalekerera? Iyai, kunena zoona adzaŵaweruzira mlandu wao msanga. Komabe Mwana wa Munthu pobwera, kodi adzapezadi chikhulupiriro pansi pano?”
Ndithu iyo idzalanditsa anthu osoŵa amene amaiitana, idzapulumutsa anthu osauka ndiponso opanda woŵathandiza. Idzamvera chisoni anthu ofooka ndi osoŵa, ndipo idzapulumutsa moyo wa anthu aumphaŵi. Idzaombola moyo wao kwa anthu oŵapsinja ndi kwa oŵachita zankhanza, pakuti magazi ao ndi amtengowapatali pamaso pake.
Anthu oipa samvetsa kuti chilungamo nchiyani, koma amene amatsata kufuna kwa Chauta amachimvetsa kwathunthu.
Abale anga, pali phindu lanji, ngati munthu anena kuti, “Ndili ndi chikhulupiriro,” koma popanda chimene akuchitapo? Kodi chikhulupiriro chotere chingampulumutse? Mwachitsanzo: mbale wina kapena mlongo ali ndi usiŵa, ndipo masiku onse alibe chakudya chokwanira. Tsono wina mwa inu angoŵauza kuti. “Pitani ndi mtendere, mukafundidwe ndipo mukakhute”, koma osaŵapatsa zimene akusoŵazo, pamenepo phindu lake nchiyani? Choncho, chikhulupiriro pachokha, chopanda ntchito zake, nchakufa basi.
Paja Chauta amaimirira pafupi ndi munthu wosoŵa, amafuna kumpulumutsa kwa anthu ogamula kuti iyeyo aphedwe.
mukamadyetsa anthu anjala, ndi kuthandiza anthu ozunzika, ndiye kuti mdima wokuzingani udzasanduka kuŵala ngati kwa usana. Tsono ndidzakutsogolerani nthaŵi zonse, ndi kukupatsani zabwino. Matupi anu ndidzaŵalimbitsa. Mudzakhala ngati dimba la madzi ambiri, ngati kasupe wa madzi amene saaphwa.
Iye adati, “Amene ali ndi miinjiro iŵiri, apatseko mnzake amene alibe. Ndipo amene ali nacho chakudya, achitenso chimodzimodzi.”
Inu Chauta, kodi ndani angathe kukhala m'Nyumba mwanu? Ndani angathe kukhala pa phiri lanu loyera? Ndi munthu amene amayenda mosalakwa, amene amachita zolungama nthaŵi zonse, amene amalankhula zinthu ndi mtima woona.
Amateteza ana amasiye ndi akazi amasiye. Amakonda anthu achilendo amene amakhala pakati panu, ndipo amaŵapatsa chakudya ndi zovala zomwe.
“Musamaweruza anthu ena kuti ndi olakwa, kuwopa kuti Mulungu angakuweruzeni. Kapena atampempha nsomba, iye nkumupatsa njoka? Tsono ngati inu, nkuipa kwanuku, mumadziŵa kupatsa ana anu mphatso zabwino, nanji Atate anu amene ali Kumwamba, angalephere bwanji kupereka zinthu zabwino kwa amene aŵapempha? Zomwe mukufuna kuti anthu akuchitireni, inuyo muŵachitire zomwezo. Izi ndiye zimene Malamulo a Mose ndiponso aneneri amaphunzitsa. “Loŵerani pa chipata chophaphatiza. Pajatu chipata choloŵera ku chiwonongeko nchachikulu, ndipo njira yake ndi yofumbula, nkuwona anthu amene amadzerapo ndi ambiri. Koma chipata choloŵera ku moyo nchophaphatiza, ndipo njira yake ndi yosautsa, nkuwona anthu amene amaipeza ndi oŵerengeka. “Chenjera nawoni aneneri onyenga. Amadza kwa inu ali ndi maonekedwe ofatsa ngati nkhosa, koma m'kati mwao ndi mimbulu yolusa. Mudzaŵadziŵira zochita zao. Kodi mitengo yaminga nkubala mphesa? Kodi mitula nkubala nkhuyu? Chonchonso mtengo uliwonse wabwino umabala zipatso zabwino, koma mtengo woipa umabala zipatso zoipa. Mtengo wabwino sungabale zipatso zoipa, kapena mtengo woipa kubala zipatso zabwino ai. Mtengo uliwonse wosabala zipatso zabwino, amaudula nkuuponya pa moto. M'mene inu mumaweruzira ena, ndi m'menenso Mulungu adzakuweruzirani inuyo. Ndipo muyeso womwe mumagwiritsa ntchito poweruza ena, Mulungu adzagwiritsa ntchito womwewo pokuweruzani inu.
Mitambo ndi mdima waukulu zamzinga Chauta. Amalamulira molungama, mu ufumu wake mulibe tsankho.
Amene amapondereza osauka kuti aonjezere pa chuma chake, kapena amene amangopatsa zinthu olemera okha, adzasanduka wosauka.
Komabe Chauta akufunitsitsa kuti akukomereni mtima. Ali wokonzeka kuti akuchitireni chifundo, chifukwa Chauta ndi Mulungu wachilungamo. Ndi odala onse amene amakhulupirira Iye!
Mu ufumu wa Mulungu chachikulu si chakudya kapena zakumwa ai, koma chilungamo, mtendere ndi chimwemwe, zimene Mzimu Woyera amapereka.
Simudandipereke m'manja mwa adani anga, koma mwandiika pa malo otambalala. Tsono mundikomere mtima, Inu Chauta, pakuti ndili m'zovuta. Maso anga atupa chifukwa cha chisoni. Mumtima mwanga ndi m'thupi momwe mwadzaza zovuta.
Usaleke kumchitira zabwino woyenera kuzilandira, pamene uli nazo mphamvu zochitira choncho. Usamuuze mnzakoyo kuti, “Pita, ukachite kubweranso, ndidzakupatsa maŵa,” pamene uli nazo tsopano lino.
Pamenepo m'dziko lonse mudzakhala chilungamo, kuyambira ku chipululu mpaka ku minda yachonde. Chifukwa anthu onse akamachita zachilungamo, m'dziko mudzakhala mtendere ndi bata mpaka muyaya.
Mfumuyo idzaŵayankha kuti, ‘Ndithu ndikunenetsa kuti, nthaŵi iliyonse pamene munkakana kuthandiza wina aliyense mwa abale anga ngakhale otsika kwambiriŵa, munkakana kuthandiza Ine amene.’
Mau a Chauta ngangwiro, amapatsa munthu moyo watsopano. Umboni wa Chauta ndi wokhulupirika, umaŵapatsa nzeru amene alibe. Malangizo a Chauta ndi olungama, amasangalatsa mtima. Malamulo a Chauta ndi olungama, amapatsa mtima womvetsa. Kuwopa Chauta ndiye chinthu changwiro, chimakhala mpaka muyaya. Chiweruzo cha Chauta nchoona, ncholungama nthaŵi zonse.
“Musazunze mlendo kapena kumkhalitsa m'phanthi, poti paja inunso munali alendo ku dziko la Ejipito. Musazunze mkazi wamasiye kapena mwana wamasiye. Mukamaŵazunza, Ine ndidzaŵamva iwowo akamalira kwa Ine. Ndidzakukwiyirani, ndipo ndidzakuphani ku nkhondo. Akazi anu adzasanduka amasiye, ndipo ana anunso adzasanduka amasiye.
Chauta akuyankha kuti, “Ndithudi, ankhondo adzaŵalanda akaidi ao, ndipo mfumu yankhalwe adzailanda zofunkha zake. Ndidzalimbana ndi amene amalimbana nanu, ndipo ndidzapulumutsa ana anu.
Tsoka kwa anthu amene amakonzekera chiwembu, amene usiku wonse amalingalira ntchito zoipa. Akadzuka m'maŵa amakazichitadi, pakuti mphamvu zake ali nazo. Nyamukani, chokani, ano simalo opumulirapo. Zonyansa zanu zaŵaipitsa, zadzetsapo chiwonongeko choopsa. Munthu wina atamapita uku ndi uku akulalika zabodza kuti, ‘Ndithudi mudzakhala ndi vinyo ndi zakumwa zamphamvu zambiri,’ mlaliki wotere ndi amene anthu aŵa angamkonde. “Koma inu banja lonse la Yakobe, ndidzakusonkhanitsani. Onse otsala a ku Israele ndidzaŵasonkhanitsa pamodzi ngati nkhosa m'khola, ngati gulu la zoŵeta pa busa lake. Malowo adzakhala thithithi ndi chinamtindi cha anthu.” Woŵapulumutsa adzaŵatsogolera, ndipo onse adzathyola pa chipata nathaŵa. Idzayambira ndi mfumu yao kudutsa, Chauta adzakhala patsogolo pao. Akasirira minda, amailanda. Akakhumbira nyumba, amazilanda. Amavutitsa munthu ndi banja lake, naŵatengera zonse zimene ali nazo.
Ngati munthu akonda mnzake, sangamchite choipa ai. Nchifukwa chake amene amakonda mnzake, wasunga zonse zimene Malamulo a Mulungu akunena.
Chauta adalenga kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi, nyanja ndi zonse zimene zili m'menemo. Amasunga malonjezo ake nthaŵi zonse. Amachitira anthu opsinjidwa zolungama, amaŵapatsa chakudya anthu anjala. Chauta amamasula am'ndende.
“Muli ndi tsoka, inu aphunzitsi a Malamulo ndi Afarisi, anthu achiphamaso! Mumapereka chachikhumi cha timbeu tonunkhira, ndi cha timbeu tokometsera chakudya, koma simusamala zazikulu zenizeni pa Malamulo a Mulungu, monga kuweruza molungama, kuchita zachifundo, ndi kukhala okhulupirika. Mukadayenera kuchitadi zimenezi, komabe osasiya zinazo. Inu atsogoleri akhungu, mumasuza zakumwa zanu kuti muchotsemo kanchenche, koma mumameza ngamira.
Udzipereke m'manja mwa Chauta, umukhulupirire ndipo Iye adzakusamalira. Adzaonetsa poyera kusalakwa kwako, ndipo kulungama kwako kudzaŵala ngati usana.
Musamachita kanthu ndi mtima wodzikonda, kapena wodzitukumula chabe. Koma khalani odzichepetsa, ndipo aliyense aziwona anzake kuti ngomuposa iyeyo.
