115 Mau a Mulungu Oteteza Nyumba
Mulungu wandiyang'anira kuyambira ndili m'mimba mwa amayi anga, wanditeteza ku zoipa zonse, wandibisira ku ziwembu za mdani. Ndaona dzanja lake lamphamvu m'moyo wanga, ndipo ndikudziwa kuti ndine cholengedwa chake chamtengo wapatali.
Tsiku lililonse ndimalidza Mulungu chifukwa cha chikondi chake chosatha ndi zabwino zake zosawerengeka. Ndimalimbikitsidwa ndi Mawu ake opatulika, ndipo ndimapeza mtendere mwa Iye. Ngakhale pakati pa mavuto, ndimadziwa kuti Mzimu Woyera ali nane, akundipatsa chitetezo ndi mphamvu.
Palibe chodetsa nkhawa chifukwa ndikudziwa kuti ndili m'manja mwa Wamphamvuyonse. Mulungu wanga, Mpulumutsi wanga, amanditeteza nthawi zonse. Mwa Iye ndimapeza chimwemwe chenicheni ndi mtendere wosatha.
Mphamvu ya Mulungu imandimasula ku ukapolo wa uchimo ndi mantha. Ndimapembedza mwaufulu, wodzazidwa ndi chikondi chake. Ndimadziwa kuti Mulungu amasamalira moyo wanga, akundipatsa mpumulo umene ndimaufuna.
Chauta akapanda kumanga nawo nyumba, omanga nyumbayo angogwira ntchito pachabe. Chauta akapanda kulonda nawo mzinda, mlonda angochezera pachabe.
Munthu amene amakhala m'linga la Wopambanazonse, iye amene amakhala mumthunzi mwa Mphambe, zoipa sizidzakugwera, zoopsa sizidzafika pafupi ndi nyumba yako. Chauta adzapatsa angelo ake ntchito yoti azikulonda kulikonse kumene upite. Adzakunyamula m'manja mwao, kuwopa kuti phazi lako lingapweteke ndi mwala. Udzatha kuponda mkango ndi njoka, zoonadi udzaponda ndi phazi lako msona wa mkango ndiponso chinjoka. Pakuti amene amandikangamira Ine Mulungu mwachikondi, ndidzampulumutsa. Ndidzamteteza popeza kuti amadziŵa dzina langa. Akadzandiitana, ndidzamuyankha, ndidzakhala naye pa nthaŵi yamavuto. Ndidzamlanditsa ndi kumlemekeza. Ndidzampatsa moyo wautali ndi kumpulumutsa. adzanena kwa Chauta kuti, “Inu ndinu kothaŵira kwanga ndi linga langa, ndinu Mulungu wanga amene ndimakukhulupirirani.”
Chauta amatemberera nyumba ya anthu oipa, koma malo okhalamo anthu abwino amaŵadalitsa.
Anthu a Mulungu adzakhala m'midzi yamtendere, m'nyumba zokhulupirika, ndiponso m'malo ousira abata.
Chauta adzakuteteza ku zoipa zonse, adzasamala moyo wako. Chauta adzakusunga kulikonse kumene udzapita, kuyambira tsopano mpaka muyaya.
Inu ndinu kobisalira kwanga. Inu mumanditchinjiriza nthaŵi yamavuto. Nchifukwa chake ndimaimba nyimbo zotamanda chipulumutso chanu.
Muziŵasunga bwino mumtima mwanu malamulo amene ndikukupatsani leroŵa. Muziŵaphunzitsa mwachangu kwa ana anu kulikonse kumene muli, mutakhala pansi m'nyumba mwanu, kapena muli paulendo, kapena mukupumula, kapena mukugwira ntchito.
Mulungu ndiye kothaŵira kwathu, ndiye mphamvu zathu. Ali wokonzekeratu kutithandiza pa nthaŵi yamavuto.
Magaziwo adzakhala chizindikiro pa nyumba zimene mumakhalamo. Ndikadzangoona magaziwo, ndidzakupitirirani inuyo, ndipo mliri wosakaza sudzakugwerani, pamene ndidzakanthe dziko la Ejipito.
Khalani amphamvu ndiponso mulimbe mtima. Musaŵaope anthu ameneŵa, musachite nawo mantha, chifukwa Chauta, Mulungu wanu, adzakhala nanu. Sadzalola kuti mulephere, ndipo sadzakusiyani.
Tiyeni tsono tilimbe mtima ndi kunena kuti, “Ambuye ndiwo Mthandizi wanga, sindidzachita mantha. Munthu angandichite chiyani?”
Koma iwe palibe chida chopangidwa ndi mdani chimene chidzakupweteke. Onse okuneneza udzaŵatsutsa. Ndimo adzapezera atumiki anga, ndipo ndidzaŵapambanitsa ndine,” akuterotu Chauta.
Munthu woopa Chauta ali ndi chikhulupiriro cholimba, ndipo ana ake adzakhala napo pothaŵira.
Choncho ndidzagona ndi kupeza tulo mwamtendere, pakuti Inu nokha Chauta ndinu amene mumandisunga bwino lomwe.
Ngakhale ndiyende pakati pa mavuto, Inu mumasunga moyo wanga. Mumatambasula dzanja lanu kuletsa adani anga okwiya, dzanja lanu lamanja limandipulumutsa.
Mpaka mudzakalambe ndidzakhalabe Yemwe uja, mpaka mudzamere imvi ndidzakusamalani ndithu. Ndidakulengani, ndipo ndidzakunyamulani. Ndidzakusenzani ndipo ndidzakuwombolani.
Nanga tsono tinganenenso chiyani pa zonsezi? Ngati Mulungu ali pa mbali yathu, angatsutsane nafe ndani?
Mulungu wathuyo, zochita zake nzangwiro, mau ake sapita pachabe, Iye ndiye chishango choteteza onse othaŵira kwa Iye.
Sudzachita mantha ndi zoopsa zausiku, kapena nkhondo nthaŵi yamasana. Sudzaopanso mliri wogwa usiku, kapena zoononga moyo masana.
Koma ndidzaimba nyimbo zotamanda mphamvu zanu, m'maŵa ndidzaimba mokweza nyimbo zoyamika chikondi chanu chosasinthika. Pakuti Inu mwakhala ngati linga langa ndi malo othaŵiramo pa nthaŵi ya mavuto anga.
Saopa akamva zoipa zimene zachitika. Mtima wake ndi wosasinthika, amakhulupirira Chauta.
Ndili nawe, ndidzakutchinjiriza kulikonse kumene udzapite, ndipo ndidzakubwezanso ku dziko lino. Sindidzakusiya mpaka nditachita zonse ndakuuzazi.”
Ambuye adzandipulumutsanso ku chilichonse chofuna kundichita choipa, ndipo adzandisunga bwino mpaka kundiloŵetsa mu Ufumu wake wa Kumwamba. Kwa Iye kukhale ulemerero kwamuyaya. Amen.
Iye yekhayo ndiye thanthwe langa, chipulumutso changa, ndi linga langa. Sindidzagwedezeka konse.
Usachite mantha chifukwa Ine ndili nawe, usataye mtima, poti Ine ndine Mulungu wako. Ndidzakupatsa mphamvu, ndidzakuthandiza, ndidzakutchinjiriza ndi dzanja langa lamanja logonjetsa.
Koma Inu Chauta, ndinu chishango changa chonditeteza, ndinu ulemerero wanga, mumalimbitsa mtima wanga ndinu.
Chauta ali pafupi ndi onse amene amamutama mopemba. Ali pafupi ndi onse amene amamutama mokhulupirika.
Mtima wanu usakangamire pa ndalama, ndipo zimene muli nazo, mukhutire nazo. Paja Mulungu adati, “Sindidzakusiyani kapena kukutayani konse.” Tiyeni tsono tilimbe mtima ndi kunena kuti, “Ambuye ndiwo Mthandizi wanga, sindidzachita mantha. Munthu angandichite chiyani?”
Kwa Chauta ndiye kothaŵirako anthu opsinjidwa, ndiyenso kopulumukira pa nthaŵi yamavuto.
Musade nkhaŵa ndi kanthu kalikonse, koma m'mapemphero anu onse muzipempha Mulungu zimene zikusoŵani, ndipo nthaŵi zonse muzipemphe ndi mtima woyamika. Pamenepo mtendere wochokera kwa Mulungu, umene uli wopitirira nzeru zonse za anthu, udzasunga bwino mitima yanu ndi maganizo anu mwa Khristu Yesu.
Koma Chauta wasanduka linga langa londiteteza, Mulungu ndiye thanthwe langa lothaŵirako.
Ndimakweza maso anga ku mapiri. Kodi chithandizo changa chimachokera kuti? Chithandizo changa nchochokera kwa Chauta, amene adalenga kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi.
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.
Chauta ndiye muuni wanga ndi chipulumutso changa. Ndidzaopa yani? Chauta ndiye linga la moyo wanga, nanga ndichitirenji mantha?
“Pemphani ndipo adzakupatsani. Funafunani ndipo mudzapeza, gogodani, ndipo adzakutsekulirani. Paja munthu amene amapempha, ndiye amalandira; amene amafunafuna, ndiye amapeza; ndipo amene amagogoda, ndiye amamtsekulira.
Inu Chauta, mumapatsa mtendere weniweni kwa amene ali ndi mtima wokhazikika, chifukwa chokhulupirira Inu.
Anthu amene amakhulupirira Chauta ndi olimba ngati phiri la Ziyoni, limene silingathe kugwedezeka, koma ndi lokhala mpaka muyaya. Monga momwe mapiri amazingira Yerusalemu, momwemonso Chauta akuzinga anthu ake kuyambira tsopano mpaka muyaya.
Mayeso amene inu mwakumana nawo, sasiyana ndi mayeso amene anthu ena onse adakumana nawo. Mulungu ndi wokhulupirika, sangalole kuti muyesedwe kopitirira mphamvu zanu. Koma pamene mudzayesedwa, Iye yemwe adzakukonzerani njira yopulumukira, pakukupatsani mphamvu kuti mupirire.
Pamene ukuwoloka nyanja, ndidzakhala nawe, pamene ukuwoloka mitsinje, siidzakukokolola. Pamene ukudutsa pa moto sudzapsa, malaŵi ake sadzakutentha.
Ngakhale ndiyende m'chigwa chamdima wabii, sindidzaopa choipa chilichonse, pakuti Inu Ambuye mumakhala nane. Chibonga chanu ndi ndodo yanu zimanditeteza.
Mulungu wanga ali ndi chuma chochuluka, ndipo mwa Khristu Yesu adzakupatsani zonse zimene mukusoŵa.
Anthu okonda malamulo anu ali ndi mtendere waukulu, palibe china chotha kuŵagwetsa.
Chauta amakhala kutali ndi anthu oipa mtima, koma amamva pemphero la anthu achilungamo.
Pakuti amene amandikangamira Ine Mulungu mwachikondi, ndidzampulumutsa. Ndidzamteteza popeza kuti amadziŵa dzina langa.
Inu mudaapangana kuti mundichite chiwembu, koma Mulungu adazisandutsa kuti zikhale zabwino ndipo kuti zipulumutse moyo wa anthu ambiri. Choncho onsewo ali moyo lero lino chifukwa cha zimenezo.
Koma inu, yambani mwafunafuna ufumu wa Mulungu ndi kumachita zimene Iye akufuna, ndipo zina zonsezi adzakupatsaninso.
Tikati kukhulupirira, ndiye kuti kusakayika konse pa zinthu zimene tikuziyembekeza, ndiponso kutsimikiza kuti zinthu zimene sitikuziwona zilipo ndithu.
Musandichotsere chifundo chanu, Inu Chauta, chikondi chanu chosasinthika ndi kukhulupirika kwanu zindisunge nthaŵi zonse.
Kuwopa Chauta kumabweretsa moyo, ndipo amene amaopayo amakhala pabwino, ndiye kuti choipa sichidzamgwera.
Tsono ndidzakutsogolerani nthaŵi zonse, ndi kukupatsani zabwino. Matupi anu ndidzaŵalimbitsa. Mudzakhala ngati dimba la madzi ambiri, ngati kasupe wa madzi amene saaphwa.
“Khalani chete, ndipo mudziŵe kuti ndine Mulungu. Mitundu ya anthu imanditamanda, a m'dziko lapansi amandiyamika.”
Suja amagulitsa atimba aŵiri kandalama kamodzi? Komabe palibe ndi m'modzi yemwe amene angagwe pansi, Atate anu osadziŵa. Filipo ndi Bartolomeo; Tomasi ndi Mateyo, wokhometsa msonkho uja; Yakobe, mwana wa Alifeyo, ndi Tadeyo; Inuyotu ngakhale tsitsi lomwe la kumutu kwanu adaliŵerenga lonse. Choncho musati muziwopa ai. Ndinu a mtengo woposa atimba ambiri.
Tsono khulupirira Chauta. Khala wamphamvu, ndipo ulimbe mtima. Ndithu, khulupirira Chauta.
Popeza kuti mudalandira manyazi, manyozo ndi zotukwana moŵirikiza, tsopano mudzalandira chigawo cha dziko lanu moŵirikizanso. Chimwemwe chanu chidzakhala chamuyaya.”
Mkwiyo wake ndi wa kanthaŵi chabe, koma kukoma mtima kwake nkwa moyo wonse. Misozi ingachezere kugwa usiku, m'maŵa kumabwera chimwemwe chokhachokha.
Tsono, popeza kuti pakukhulupirira tapezeka kuti ndife olungama pamaso pa Mulungu, ndiye kuti tili pa mtendere ndi Mulungu kudzera mwa Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu.
Chauta akuti, “Ndidzakudziŵitsa ndi kukuphunzitsa njira imene uyenera kuyendamo. Ndidzakulangiza ndi kukuyang'anira.
Aliyense mwa iwo adzakhala ngati pothaŵirapo mphepo ndi malo obisalirapo namondwe. Adzakhala ngati mitsinje yoyenda m'dziko louma, ndipo ngati mthunzi wa thanthwe lalikulu m'chipululu.
Manja anu adandilenga ndi kundiwumba. Patseni nzeru zomvetsa, kuti ndiziphunzira malamulo anu.
Ndimadzuka tambala asanalire, kuti ndipemphe chithandizo. Ndimakhulupirira mau anu.
Nthaŵi zonse ndimalingalira za Chauta. Popeza kuti ali ku dzanja langa lamanja, palibe amene angandiopse konse.
Mudzati, “Mulungu wathu ndi wotere, ndi Mulungu wathu kuyambira muyaya mpaka muyaya. Iye adzakhala wotitsogolera nthaŵi zonse.”
Pakuti munthu wochita chilungamo sadzagwedezeka konse, sadzaiŵalika mpaka muyaya. Saopa akamva zoipa zimene zachitika. Mtima wake ndi wosasinthika, amakhulupirira Chauta.
Muzikaŵaphunzitsa kusunga zonse zimene Ine ndidakulamulani. Ndipo Ineyo ndili nanu masiku onse, mpaka kutha kwa dziko lino lapansi.”
Ndipo tikudziŵa kuti Mulungu amayendetsa zinthu mwa njira yoti zonse ziŵakomere anthu omukonda ndipo apindulepo. Anthuwo ndi amene Iye amaŵaitana monga momwe Iye adazikonzera.
Anthu osiyidwa, Mulungu amaŵapatsa malo okhalamo, am'ndende amaŵatulutsa kuti akhale pa ufulu, koma anthu oukira, amaŵapirikitsira ku nthaka yoguga.
Thupi langa ndi mtima wanga zingafooke chotani, Mulungu ndiye mphamvu za mtima wanga ndiyenso wondigaŵira madalitso mpaka muyaya.
Chauta adzaona kuti cholinga chake pa ine chichitikedi. Chikondi chanu, Inu Chauta, nchamuyaya. Muipitirize ntchito imene mwaiyambayo.
Koma zipatso zimene Mzimu Woyera amabweretsa m'moyo wa munthu ndi izi: Chikondi, chimwemwe, mtendere, kuleza mtima, chifundo, kukoma mtima, kukhulupirika, kufatsa ndiponso kudziletsa. Zimenezi palibe lamulo loziletsa.
Ndipo timalimba mtima pamaso pa Mulungu, popeza kuti amatimvera tikapempha kanthu kalikonse komukomera. Ndipo ngati tikudziŵa kuti amatimvera tikapempha kanthu kalikonse, timadziŵanso kuti talandiradi zimene tampempha.
Koma amene amafunitsitsa kuti ndipezeke wosalakwa, afuule ndi chimwemwe ndipo asangalale. Anene nthaŵi zonse kuti, “Chauta ndi wamkulu. Amakondwera akaona mtumiki wake zamuyendera bwino.”
Sindikayika konse kuti Mulungu, amene adayamba kuchita ntchito yabwinoyi mwa inu, adzaipitiriza mpaka itatsirizika pa Tsiku la Kubweranso kwa Khristu Yesu.
Chauta akuyankha kuti, “Ndithudi, ankhondo adzaŵalanda akaidi ao, ndipo mfumu yankhalwe adzailanda zofunkha zake. Ndidzalimbana ndi amene amalimbana nanu, ndipo ndidzapulumutsa ana anu.
Inu Chauta, mukudziŵa kuti ife ndife alendo chabe pansi pano. Tili ngati anthu ongokhala nao chabe, monga momwe analiri makolo athu. Masiku athu okhala pa dziko lapansi ali ngati chithunzithunzi chabe ndipo palibe poti tingakhulupirire.
Pamene ndinali m'mavuto ndidapemphera kwa Chauta, ndipo Iye adandichotsera mavutowo. Chauta akakhala pa mbali yanga, sindichita mantha. Munthu angandichite chiyani?
Abale anga, pitani mukaloŵe m'nyumba zanu, ndipo mukadzitsekere. Mubisale pang'ono mpaka mkwiyo wa Chauta utatha. Chauta akubwera kuchokera kumene amakhala, akubwera kudzalanga anthu a dziko lapansi chifukwa cha machimo ao. Magazi okhetsedwa pa dziko lapansi adzaululuka, mitembo ya anthu ophedwa sidzabisikanso.
Nyumba imamangidwa ndi anthu anzeru, ndipo imakhazikika ndi anthu a mtima wodziŵa zinthu. Ndinkayenda m'mbali mwa munda wa munthu waulesi, m'mbali mwa munda wamphesa wa munthu wopanda nzeru. M'minda monsemo munali mutamera minga yokhayokha, m'nthaka imeneyo munali mutamera khwisa, ndipo mpanda wake wamiyala unali utagwa. Tsono nditaona, ndidayamba kuganizirapo pa zimenezo, nditayang'ana, ndidatolapo phunziro ili: Ukati, “Taimani ndigoneko pang'ono,” kapena “Ndiwodzereko chabe,” kapena “Ndingopumulako pang'ono,” umphaŵi udzakufikira monga mbala, kusauka kudzakupeza ngati mbala yachifwamba. Wodziŵa zinthu angathe kudzaza zipinda zake ndi chuma chokondweretsa ndi cha mtengo wapatali.
Usaope, ndili nawe. Ndidzabweza zidzukulu zako kuchokera kuvuma, ndidzakusonkhanitsani nonse kuchokera kuzambwe.
Mudandipatsa moyo mwa chikondi chanu chosasinthika, mudandisamala bwino kuti moyo wanga ulimbike.
Tula kwa Chauta nkhaŵa zako, ndipo Iye adzakuchirikiza. Sadzalola konse kuti wolungama wake agwedezeke.
Chauta ndiye amene amakusunga, Chauta ndiye mtetezi wako ali ku dzanja lako lamanja. Dzuŵa silidzakupweteka masana, mwezi sudzakuvuta usiku. Chauta adzakuteteza ku zoipa zonse, adzasamala moyo wako. Chauta adzakusunga kulikonse kumene udzapita, kuyambira tsopano mpaka muyaya.
Koma Ambuye ngokhulupirika, ndipo adzakulimbitsani mtima ndi kukutchinjirizani kwa Woipa uja.
Nchifukwa chake mudzichepetse pamaso pa Mulungu wamphamvu, kuti pa nthaŵi yake adzakukwezeni. Tulani pa Iye nkhaŵa zanu zonse, popeza kuti Iye ndiye amakusamalirani.
