103 Mau a Mulungu Okhudza Chilengedwe
Poyamba, Mulungu analenga kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi (Genesis 1:1). Mawu akuti “analenga” amandipangitsa kuganizira mphamvu zazikulu za Mulungu zolenga, chifukwa amandiuza kuti Iye analenga chilengedwe chonse. Kulenga ndi mphamvu ya Mulungu yekha. Palibe wina amene angalenge; sitinachokere ku kusanduka kwa zinthu, koma ndife ntchito ya manja a Mulungu Wamphamvuyonse.
Chifukwa ndife ntchito yake, lolengedwa mwa Khristu Yesu kuti tichite ntchito zabwino, zimene Mulungu anakonzeratu kale kuti tiyendemo (Aefeso 2:10). Mphamvu yaikulu ya Mulungu ikuwonekera m’chilengedwe chake, ndipo timaiwonanso m’magonjetso ake onse pa mdima, koma chikondi chake ndiye chachikulu kuposa zonse. Chifukwa cha chikondi anatumiza Mwana wake, ndipo chifukwa cha chikondi Yesu anapereka moyo wake pa mtanda chifukwa cha machimo athu.
Uyenera kumvetsa kuti unalengedwa kuti uchite zabwino. Cholinga cha Mulungu ndi chakuti uziyenda padziko lapansi monga momwe Yesu anachitira. Iye nthawi zonse ankachita zabwino ndi kuyenda molungama m’njira za Atate wake. Chilengedwe chokha chikuwonetsa ukulu wa Mulungu; chilengedwe chimanena za Iye. Ndipo ife, amene tapatsidwa ntchito yogwirizanitsa dziko lino ndi Khristu, tiyenera kuchita zambiri.
Uyenera kumvetsa kuti sunalengedwa kungobadwa, kukula ndi kufa. Sunalengedwa kuti ukhale tsiku ndi tsiku osaganizira momwe ukugwiritsira ntchito nthawi yako. Unalengedwa ndi dzanja la Mulungu, uli ndi moyo chifukwa cha mpweya wa Mzimu wake kuti ukhudze anthu ena m’moyo wako watsiku ndi tsiku. Ndinu mwamuna ndi mkazi oitanidwa kuwonetsa mphamvu ya Mulungu yolenga. Uyenera kukhala chifaniziro chake padziko lapansi ndi kulamulira zinthu zonse.
Ukadziwa kuti ulipo chifukwa cha Mulungu, umadziwa kuti uli ndi mwini wake ndipo uyenera kukhala nthawi zonse kuti uchite chifuniro chake. Akolose 1:16 amati: “Pakuti mwa Iye zinthu zonse zinalengedwa, zakumwamba ndi zapadziko lapansi, zowoneka ndi zosaoneka; kaya mipando yaufumu, kaya maufumu, kaya maulamuliro, kaya maboma; zinthu zonse zinalengedwa ndi Iye, ndipo zinalengedwera Iye.”
Sunalengedwa kuti udzisangalatse ndi zokondweretsa zako ndi kuchita zoipa, koma unalengedwera Mulungu, ndi Iye, kuti uchite zinthu zazikulu padziko lapansi.
Zakumwamba zimalalikira ulemerero wa Mulungu; ndipo thambo lionetsa ntchito ya manja ake.
Kodi iwe sunadziwe? Kodi sunamve? Mulungu wachikhalire, Yehova, Mlengi wa malekezero a dziko lapansi, salefuka konse, salema; nzeru zake sizisanthulika.
Ndipo anati Mulungu, Tipange munthu m'chifanizo chathu, monga mwa chikhalidwe chathu: alamulire pa nsomba za m'nyanja, ndi pa mbalame za m'mlengalenga, ndi pa ng'ombe, ndi pa dziko lonse lapansi, ndi pa zokwawa zonse zakukwawa pa dziko lapansi. Mulungu ndipo adalenga munthu m'chifanizo chake, m'chifanizo cha Mulungu adamlenga iye; adalenga iwo mwamuna ndi mkazi.
Ine ndalenga dziko lapansi, ndalengamo munthu; Ine, ngakhale manja anga, ndafunyula kumwamba, ndi zonse za m'menemo, ndinazilamulira ndine.
Ndipo zinatha kupangidwa zakumwamba ndi dziko lapansi, ndi khamu lao lonse. Ndipo unatuluka m'Edeni mtsinje wakuthirira m'mundamo, m'menemo ndipo unalekana nuchita miyendo inai. Dzina la wakuyamba Pisoni: umenewo ndiwo wozungulira dziko lonse la Havila, m'mene muli golide; golide wa dziko ali wabwino; ndimonso muli bedola ndi mwala wasohamu. Dzina la mtsinje wachiwiri ndi Gihoni: umenewo ndiwo wozungulira dziko lonse la Kusi. Dzina la mtsinje wachitatu ndi Tigrisi: umenewo ndiwo wakuyenda cha kum'mawa kwake kwa Asiriya. Mtsinje wachinai ndi Yufurate. Ndipo Yehova Mulungu anatenga munthuyo, namuika iye m'munda wa Edeni kuti aulime nauyang'anire. Ndipo Yehova Mulungu anamuuza munthuyo, nati, Mitengo yonse ya m'munda udyeko; koma mtengo wakudziwitsa zabwino ndi zoipa usadye umenewo; chifukwa tsiku lomwe udzadya umenewo udzafa ndithu. Yehova Mulungu ndipo anati, Si kwabwino kuti munthu akhale yekha; ndidzampangira womthangatira iye. Ndipo Yehova Mulungu anaumba ndi nthaka zamoyo zonse za m'thengo, ndi mbalame zonse za m'mlengalenga; ndipo anapita nazo kwa Adamu kuti aone maina omwe adzazicha; ndipo maina omwe onse anazicha Adamu zamoyo zonse, omwewo ndiwo maina ao. Tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri Mulungu anamaliza ntchito yonse anaipanga; ndipo anapuma tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri ku ntchito yake yonse.
Ntchito zanu zichulukadi, Yehova! Munazichita zonse mwanzeru; dziko lapansi lidzala nacho chuma chanu. Nyanja siyo, yaikulu ndi yachitando, m'mwemo muli zokwawa zosawerengeka; zamoyo zazing'ono ndi zazikulu.
Ndipo Iye anayankha, nati, Kodi simunawerenga kuti Iye amene adalenga anthu pachiyambi, anawalenga iwo mwamuna ndi mkazi,
Aleluya. Lemekezani Yehova kochokera kumwamba; mlemekezeni m'misanje. Nyama za kuthengo ndi zoweta zonse; zokwawa, ndi mbalame zakuuluka. Mafumu a padziko ndi mitundu yonse ya anthu; zinduna ndi oweruza onse a padziko. Anyamata ndiponso anamwali; okalamba pamodzi ndi ana. Alemekeze dzina la Yehova; pakuti dzina lake lokha ndi lokwezeka; ulemerero wake uli pamwamba pa dziko lapansi ndi thambo. Ndipo anakweza nyanga ya anthu ake, chilemekezo cha okondedwa ake onse; ndiwo ana a Israele, anthu a pafupi pa Iye. Aleluya. Mlemekezeni, angelo ake onse; mlemekezeni, makamu ake onse. Mlemekezeni, dzuwa ndi mwezi; mlemekezeni, nyenyezi zonse zounikira. Mlemekezeni, m'mwambamwamba, ndi madzi inu, a pamwamba pa thambo. Alemekeze dzina la Yehova; popeza analamulira, ndipo zinalengedwa.
Pakuona ine thambo la kumwamba lanu, ntchito ya zala zanu, mwezi ndi nyenyezi, zimene munazikhazika, munthu ndani kuti mumkumbukira? Ndi mwana wa munthu kuti mucheza naye?
Atero Mulungu Yehova, Iye amene analenga thambo, nalifutukula, nayala ponse dziko lapansi, ndi chimene chituluka m'menemo, Iye amene amapatsa anthu a m'menemo mpweya, ndi mzimu kwa iwo amene ayenda m'menemo;
Ndikuyamikani chifukwa kuti chipangidwe changa nchoopsa ndi chodabwitsa; ntchito zanu nzodabwitsa; moyo wanga uchidziwa ichi bwino ndithu.
Ndipo Mulungu anati, Pakhale zounikira pa thambo la kumwamba, zakulekanitsa usana ndi usiku; zikhale zizindikiro ndi nyengo, ndi masiku, ndi zaka; Zikhale zounikira m'thambo la kumwamba, kuti ziunikire pa dziko lapansi: ndipo kunatero. Ndipo Mulungu anapanga zounikira zazikulu ziwiri; chounikira chachikulu chakulamulira usana, chounikira chaching'ono chakulamulira usiku, ndi nyenyezi zomwe. Mulungu ndipo adaika zimenezo m'thambo la kumwamba, kuti ziunikire pa dziko lapansi. Nizilamulire usana ndi usiku, nizilekanitse kuyera ndi mdima: ndipo anaona Mulungu kuti kunali kwabwino. Ndipo panali madzulo ndipo panali m'mawa, tsiku lachinai.
Kodi inu simunadziwe? Kodi inu simunamve? Kodi sanakuuzeni inu chiyambire? Kodi inu simunadziwitse chiyambire mayambiro a dziko lapansi? Ndi Iye amene akhala pamwamba pa malekezero a dziko lapansi, ndipo okhalamo akunga ziwala; amene afutukula thambo ngati chinsalu, naliyala monga hema wakukhalamo;
Ndipo anati Mulungu, Madzi abale zochuluka zamoyo zoyendayenda, ndi mbalame ziuluke pamwamba pa dziko lapansi ndi pamlengalenga. Mulungu ndipo adalenga zinsomba zazikulu ndi zoyendayenda zamoyo zakuchuluka m'madzi mwa mitundu yao, ndi mbalame zamapiko, yonse monga mwa mtundu wake: ndipo anaona Mulungu kuti kunali kwabwino. Mulungu ndipo anadalitsa zimenezo, nati, Zibalane, zichuluke, zidzaze madzi a m'nyanja, ndi mbalame zichuluke pa dziko lapansi.
Chinthu chilichonse anachikongoletsa pa mphindi yake; ndipo waika zamuyaya m'mitima yao ndipo palibe munthu angalondetse ntchito Mulungu wazipanga chiyambire mpaka chitsiriziro.
monga kwalembedwa: Ndinakukhazika iwe kholo la mitundu yambiri ya anthu pamaso pa Mulungu amene iye anamkhulupirira, amene apatsa akufa moyo, ndi kuitana zinthu zoti palibe, monga ngati zilipo.
Amene analenga zakumwamba mwanzeru; pakuti chifundo chake nchosatha. Amene anayala dziko lapansi pamwamba pa madzi; pakuti chifundo chake nchosatha. Amene analenga miuni yaikulu; pakuti chifundo chake nchosatha. Dzuwa liweruze usana; pakuti chifundo chake nchosatha. Mwezi ndi nyenyezi ziweruze usiku; pakuti chifundo chake nchosatha.
Ndipo adati Mulungu, Dziko lapansi libale zamoyo monga mwa mitundu yao, ng'ombe, ndi zokwawa, ndi zinyama za dziko lapansi monga mwa mitundu yao: ndipo kunatero. Ndipo Mulungu anapanga zinyama za dziko lapansi monga mwa mitundu yao; ndi ng'ombe monga mwa mtundu wake, ndi zonse zokwawa pansi monga mwa mitundu yao; ndipo Mulungu anaona kuti kunali kwabwino.
Awerenga nyenyezi momwe zili; azitcha maina zonsezi. Ambuye wathu ndi wamkulu ndi wa mphamvu zambiri; nzeru yake njosatha.
Atero Yehova, Kumwamba ndi mpando wanga wachifumu, ndi dziko lapansi ndi choikapo mapazi anga; mudzandimangira Ine nyumba yotani? Ndi malo ondiyenera kupumamo ali kuti?
Ndipo dziko lapansi linamera udzu, therere lobala mbeu monga mwa mtundu wake, ndi mtengo wakubala zipatso, momwemo muli mbeu yake, monga mwa mtundu wake; ndipo anaona Mulungu kuti kunali kwabwino.
Pakuti atero Yehova amene analenga kumwamba, Iye ndiye Mulungu amene anaumba dziko lapansi, nalipanga; Iye analikhazikitsa, sanalilenge mwachabe; Iye analiumba akhalemo anthu; Ine ndine Yehova; ndipo palibenso wina.
Lemekezani Yehova, inu, ntchito zake zonse, ponseponse pali ufumu wake: Lemekeza Yehova, moyo wanga iwe.
Yang'anirani mbalame za kumwamba, kuti sizimafesa ai, kapena sizimatutira m'nkhokwe; ndipo Atate wanu wa Kumwamba azidyetsa. Nanga inu mulibe kusiyana nazo kuziposa kodi?
Tamverani ichi, Yobu. Taimani, mulingirire zodabwitsa za Mulungu. Kodi mudziwa umo Mulungu azilangizira zimenezi, nawalitsa mphezi ya m'mtambo mwake? Kodi mudziwa madendekeredwe ake a mitambo, zodabwitsa za Iye wakudziwa mwangwiro?
Mulungu ndipo anadalitsa iwo, ndipo adati kwa iwo, Mubalane, muchuluke, mudzaze dziko lapansi, muligonjetse: mulamulire pa nsomba za m'nyanja, ndi pa mbalame za m'mlengalenga, ndi zamoyo zonse zakukwawa pa dziko lapansi.
Yehova anali nane poyamba njira yake, asanalenge zake zakale. Anandiimika chikhalire chiyambire, dziko lisanalengedwe.
Ndipo anati Mulungu, Taonani, ndakupatsani inu therere lonse lakubala mbeu lili pa dziko lapansi, ndi mitengo yonse m'mene muli chipatso cha mtengo wakubala mbeu; chidzakhala chakudya cha inu: Ndipo anati Mulungu, Kuyere; ndipo kunayera. ndiponso ndapatsa zinyama zonse za dziko lapansi, ndi mbalame zonse za m'mlengalenga, ndi zakukwawa zonse za dziko lapansi m'mene muli moyo, therere laliwisi lonse likhale chakudya: ndipo kunatero.
taona, ndidzabweza mthunzi wa pamakwerero, umene watsika pa makwerero a Ahazi ndi dzuwa, ubwerere makwerero khumi. Ndipo dzuwa linabwerera makwerero khumi pamakwerero, pamene udatsika mthunziwo.
Ndipo anaona Mulungu kuti kuyerako kunali kwabwino; ndipo Mulungu analekanitsa kuyera ndi mdima.
Thupi langa silinabisikira Inu popangidwa ine mobisika, poombedwa ine monga m'munsi mwake mwa dziko lapansi. Ndisanaumbidwe ine maso anu anandipenya, ziwalo zanga zonse zinalembedwa m'buku mwanu, masiku akuti ziumbidwe, pakalibe chimodzi cha izo.
Kwezani maso anu kumwamba, muone amene analenga izo, amene atulutsa khamu lao ndi kuziwerenga; azitcha zonse maina ao, ndi mphamvu zake zazikulu, ndi popeza ali wolimba mphamvu, palibe imodzi isoweka.
Ameretsa msipu ziudye ng'ombe, ndi zitsamba achite nazo munthu; natulutse chakudya chochokera m'nthaka; ndi vinyo wokondweretsa mtima wa munthu, ndi mafuta akunyezimiritsa nkhope yake, ndi mkate wakulimbitsa mtima wa munthu.
Ndipo Mulungu anacha kuyerako Usana, ndi mdimawo anautcha Usiku. Ndipo panali madzulo ndipo panali m'mawa, tsiku loyamba.
Monga sudziwa njira ya mphepo, ngakhale makulidwe a mafupa m'mimba ya mkazi ali ndi pakati; momwemo sudziwa ntchito za Mulungu amene achita zonse.
Dziko lapansi nla Yehova ndi zodzala zake zomwe, dziko lokhalamo anthu ndi iwo okhala m'mwemo. Mfumu imene ya ulemerero ndani? Yehova wa makamumakamu, ndiye Mfumu ya ulemerero. Pakuti Iye analimanga pazinyanja, nalikhazika pamadzi.
Atero Yehova, Mombolo wako, ndi Iye amene anakuumba iwe m'mimba, Ine ndine Yehova, amene ndipanga zinthu zonse, ndi kufunyulula ndekha zakumwamba, ndi kuyala dziko lapansi; ndani ali ndi Ine?
Ndipo Mulungu adautcha mtundawo Dziko lapansi; kusonkhana kwa madziko ndipo adatcha Nyanja: ndipo anaona Mulungu kuti kunali kwabwino.
Aleluya. Lemekezani Yehova kochokera kumwamba; mlemekezeni m'misanje. Nyama za kuthengo ndi zoweta zonse; zokwawa, ndi mbalame zakuuluka. Mafumu a padziko ndi mitundu yonse ya anthu; zinduna ndi oweruza onse a padziko. Anyamata ndiponso anamwali; okalamba pamodzi ndi ana. Alemekeze dzina la Yehova; pakuti dzina lake lokha ndi lokwezeka; ulemerero wake uli pamwamba pa dziko lapansi ndi thambo. Ndipo anakweza nyanga ya anthu ake, chilemekezo cha okondedwa ake onse; ndiwo ana a Israele, anthu a pafupi pa Iye. Aleluya. Mlemekezeni, angelo ake onse; mlemekezeni, makamu ake onse.
chifukwa chodziwika cha Mulungu chaonekera m'kati mwao; pakuti Mulungu anachionetsera kwa iwo. umene Iye analonjeza kale ndi mau a aneneri ake m'malembo oyera, Pakuti chilengedwere dziko lapansi zaoneka bwino zosaoneka zake ndizo mphamvu yake yosatha ndi umulungu wake; popeza zazindikirika ndi zinthu zolengedwa, kuti iwo adzakhale opanda mau akuwiringula;
Kodi ungamange gulu la Nsangwe? Kapena kumasula zomangira za Akamwiniatsatana? Ungatulutse kodi nyenyezi m'nyengo zao monga mwa malongosoledwe ao? Kapena kutsogolera Mlalang'amba ndi ana ake? Kodi udziwa malemba a kuthambo? Ukhoza kukhazikitsa ufumu wao pa dziko lapansi?
Taonani, amitundu akunga dontho la m'mtsuko, nawerengedwa ngati fumbi losalala la m'muyeso; taonani atukula zisumbu ngati kanthu kakang'ono.
Lemekeza Yehova, moyo wanga; Yehova, Mulungu wanga, Inu ndinu wamkulukulu; Atumiza akasupe alowe m'makwawa; ayenda pakati pa mapiri: Zimamwamo nyama zonse za kuthengo; mbidzi zipherako ludzu lao. Mbalame za mlengalenga zifatsa pamenepo, zimaimba pakati pa mitawi. Iye amwetsa mapiri mochokera m'zipinda zake: Dziko lakhuta zipatso za ntchito zanu. Ameretsa msipu ziudye ng'ombe, ndi zitsamba achite nazo munthu; natulutse chakudya chochokera m'nthaka; ndi vinyo wokondweretsa mtima wa munthu, ndi mafuta akunyezimiritsa nkhope yake, ndi mkate wakulimbitsa mtima wa munthu. Mitengo ya Yehova yadzala ndi madzi; mikungudza ya ku Lebanoni imene anaioka; m'mwemo mbalame zimanga zisa zao; pokhala chumba mpa mitengo ya mikungudza. Mapiri atali ndiwo ayenera zinkhoma; pamatanthwe mpothawirapo mbira. Anaika mwezi nyengo zake; dzuwa lidziwa polowera pake. muvala ulemu ndi chifumu. Amene mudzikuta nako kuunika monga ndi chovala; ndi kuyala thambo ngati nsalu yotchinga. Muika mdima ndipo pali usiku; pamenepo zituluka zilombo zonse za m'thengo. Misona ya mkango ibangula potsata nyama yao, nifuna chakudya chao kwa Mulungu. Potuluka dzuwa, zithawa, zigona pansi m'ngaka mwao. Pamenepo munthu atulukira kuntchito yake, nagwiritsa kufikira madzulo. Ntchito zanu zichulukadi, Yehova! Munazichita zonse mwanzeru; dziko lapansi lidzala nacho chuma chanu. Nyanja siyo, yaikulu ndi yachitando, m'mwemo muli zokwawa zosawerengeka; zamoyo zazing'ono ndi zazikulu. M'mwemo muyenda zombo; ndi Leviyatani amene munamlenga aseweremo. Izi zonse zikulindirirani, muzipatse chakudya chao pa nyengo yake. Chimene muzipatsa zigwira; mufumbatula dzanja lanu, zikhuta zabwino. Mukabisa nkhope yanu, ziopsedwa; mukalanda mpweya wao, zikufa, nizibwerera kufumbi kwao. Amene alumikiza mitanda ya zipinda zake m'madzi; naika makongwa akhale agaleta ake; nayenda pa mapiko a mphepo. Potumizira mzimu wanu, zilengedwa; ndipo mukonzanso nkhope ya dziko lapansi. Ulemerero wa Yehova ukhale kosatha; Yehova akondwere mu ntchito zake; amene apenyerera pa dziko lapansi, ndipo linjenjemera; akhudza mapiri, ndipo afuka. Ndidzaimbira Yehova m'moyo mwanga: ndidzaimbira Mulungu wanga zomlemekeza pokhala ndilipo. Pomlingirira Iye pandikonde; ndidzakondwera mwa Yehova. Ochimwa athedwe kudziko lapansi, ndi oipa asakhalenso. Yamika Yehova, moyo wanga. Aleluya. Amene ayesa mphepo amithenga ake; lawi la moto atumiki ake;
Imeneyo ndiyo mibadwo yao ya zakumwamba ndi dziko lapansi, pamene zinalengedwa, tsiku lomwe Yehova Mulungu anapanga dziko lapansi ndi zakumwamba.
Nyanja siyo, yaikulu ndi yachitando, m'mwemo muli zokwawa zosawerengeka; zamoyo zazing'ono ndi zazikulu. M'mwemo muyenda zombo; ndi Leviyatani amene munamlenga aseweremo.
Kodi mpheta ziwiri sizigulidwa kakobiri? Ndipo imodzi ya izo siigwa pansi popanda Atate wanu: Filipo, ndi Bartolomeo; Tomasi, ndi Mateyu wamsonkhoyo; Yakobo mwana wa Alifeyo, ndi Tadeyo; komatu inu, matsitsi onse a m'mutu mwanu awerengedwa. Chifukwa chake musamaopa; inu mupambana mpheta zambiri.
Ntchito zanu zonse zidzakuyamikani, Yehova; ndi okondedwa anu adzakulemekezani. Adzanenera ulemerero wa ufumu wanu, adzalankhulira mphamvu yanu. Kudziwitsa ana a anthu zamphamvu zake, ndi ulemerero waukulu wa ufumu wake.
Malo ozama a dziko lapansi ali m'dzanja lake; chuma cha m'mapiri chomwe ndi chake. Nyanja ndi yake, anailenga; ndipo manja ake anaumba dziko louma.
Ndipo Mulungu anapanga thambo, nalekanitsa madzi anali pansi pa thambolo ndi madzi anali pamwamba pa thambolo; ndipo kunatero.
Pakuti chiyembekezetso cha cholengedwa chilindira vumbulutso la ana a Mulungu. Pakuti chilamulo cha mzimu wa moyo mwa Khristu Yesu chandimasula ine ku lamulo la uchimo ndi la imfa. Pakuti cholengedwacho chagonjetsedwa kuutsiru, chosafuna mwini, koma chifukwa cha Iye amene anachigonjetsa, ndi chiyembekezo kuti cholengedwa chomwe chidzamasulidwa ku ukapolo wa chivundi, ndi kulowa ufulu wa ulemerero wa ana a Mulungu. Pakuti tidziwa kuti cholengedwa chonse chibuula, ndi kugwidwa m'zowawa pamodzi kufikira tsopano.
Zikhale zounikira m'thambo la kumwamba, kuti ziunikire pa dziko lapansi: ndipo kunatero.
Pakuti monga m'mwamba mwatsopano ndi dziko lapansi latsopano limene ndidzalenga, lidzakhalabe pamaso pa Ine, ati Yehova, momwemo adzakhalabe ana anu ndi dzina lanu.
Nizilamulire usana ndi usiku, nizilekanitse kuyera ndi mdima: ndipo anaona Mulungu kuti kunali kwabwino.
Iye alimbitsa olefuka, naonjezera mphamvu iye ameme alibe mphamvu. Mau a wofuula m'chipululu, Konzani njira ya Yehova, lungamitsani m'dziko loti see khwalala la Mulungu wathu. Ngakhale anyamata adzalefuka ndi kulema ndi amisinkhu adzagwa ndithu: koma iwo amene alindira Yehova adzatenganso mphamvu; adzauluka pamwamba ndi mapiko monga ziombankhanga; adzathamanga koma osalema; adzayenda koma osalefuka.
Zidzatha izi, koma Inu mukhala: Inde, zidzatha zonse ngati chovala; mudzazisintha ngati malaya, ndipo zidzasinthika:
Yehova anakhazika mpando wachifumu wake Kumwamba; ndi ufumu wake uchita mphamvu ponsepo.
Mulungu ndipo adalenga zinsomba zazikulu ndi zoyendayenda zamoyo zakuchuluka m'madzi mwa mitundu yao, ndi mbalame zamapiko, yonse monga mwa mtundu wake: ndipo anaona Mulungu kuti kunali kwabwino.
Ukumbukirenso Mlengi wako masiku a unyamata wako, asanadze masiku oipa, ngakhale zisanayandikire zakazo zakuti udzati, Sindikondwera nazo;
Chilungamo chanu chikunga mapiri a Mulungu; maweruzo anu akunga chozama chachikulu, Yehova, musunga munthu ndi nyama.
yense wotchedwa dzina langa, amene ndinamlenga chifukwa cha ulemerero wanga; ndinamuumba iye; inde, ndinampanga iye.
Ndi chikhulupiriro tizindikira kuti maiko ndi a m'mwamba omwe anakonzedwa ndi mau a Mulungu, kotero kuti zinthu zopenyeka sizinapangidwa zochokera mwa zoonekazo.
pakuti mwa Iye, zinalengedwa zonse za m'mwamba, ndi za padziko, zooneka ndi zosaonekazo, kapena mipando yachifumu, kapena maufumu, kapena maukulu, kapena maulamuliro; zinthu zonse zinalengedwa mwa Iye ndi kwa Iye.
Ndipo Yehova Mulungu anaumba munthu ndi dothi lapansi, nauzira mpweya wa moyo m'mphuno mwake; munthuyo nakhala wamoyo.
Muyenera inu, Ambuye wathu, ndi Mulungu wathu, kulandira ulemerero ndi ulemu ndi mphamvu; chifukwa mudalenga zonse, ndipo mwa chifuniro chanu zinakhala, nizinalengedwa.
Pachiyambi panali Mau, ndipo Mau anali kwa Mulungu, ndipo Mau ndiye Mulungu. Anali m'dziko lapansi, ndi dziko linalengedwa ndi Iye, koma dziko silinamzindikira Iye. Anadza kwa zake za Iye yekha, ndipo ake a mwini yekha sanamlandire Iye. Koma onse amene anamlandira Iye, kwa iwo anapatsa mphamvu yakukhala ana a Mulungu, kwa iwotu, akukhulupirira dzina lake; amene sanabadwe ndi mwazi, kapena ndi chifuniro cha thupi, kapena ndi chifuniro cha munthu, koma cha Mulungu. Ndipo Mau anasandulika thupi, nakhazikika pakati pa ife, ndipo tinaona ulemerero wake, ulemerero wonga wa wobadwa yekha wa Atate, wodzala ndi chisomo ndi choonadi. Yohane achita umboni za Iye, nafuula nati, Uyu ndiye amene ndinanena za Iye, Wakudzayo pambuyo panga analipo ndisanabadwe ine; chifukwa anakhala woyamba wa ine. Chifukwa mwa kudzala kwake tinalandira ife tonse, chisomo chosinthana ndi chisomo. Chifukwa chilamulo chinapatsidwa mwa Mose; chisomo ndi choonadi zinadza mwa Yesu Khristu. Kulibe munthu anaona Mulungu nthawi zonse; Mwana wobadwa yekha wakukhala pa chifuwa cha Atate, Iyeyu anafotokozera. Ndipo umene ndiwo umboni wa Yohane, pamene Ayuda anatuma kwa iye ansembe ndi Alevi a ku Yerusalemu akamfunse iye, Ndiwe yani? Awa anali pachiyambi kwa Mulungu. Ndipo anavomera, wosakana; nalola kuti, Sindine Khristu. Ndipo anamfunsa iye, Nanga bwanji? Ndiwe Eliya kodi? Nanena iye, Sindine iye. Ndiwe Mneneriyo kodi? Nayankha, Iai. Chifukwa chake anati kwa iye, Ndiwe yani? Kuti tibwezere mau kwa iwo anatituma ife. Unena chiyani za iwe wekha? Anati, Ndine mau a wofuula m'chipululu, Lungamitsani njira ya Mbuye, monga anati Yesaya mneneriyo. Ndipo otumidwawo anali a kwa Afarisi. Ndipo anamfunsa iye, nati kwa iye, Koma ubatiza bwanji, ngati suli Khristu, kapena Eliya, kapena Mneneriyo? Yohane anawayankha, nati, Ine ndibatiza ndi madzi; pakati pa inu paimirira amene simumdziwa, ndiye wakudza pambuyo panga, amene sindiyenera kummasulira lamba la nsapato yake. Zinthu izi zinachitika m'Betaniya tsidya lija la Yordani, pomwe analikubatiza Yohane. M'mawa mwake anaona Yesu alinkudza kwa iye, nanena, Onani Mwanawankhosa wa Mulungu amene achotsa tchimo lake la dziko lapansi! Zonse zinalengedwa ndi Iye; ndipo kopanda Iye sikunalengedwa kanthu kalikonse kolengedwa.
Pakuti chilengedwere dziko lapansi zaoneka bwino zosaoneka zake ndizo mphamvu yake yosatha ndi umulungu wake; popeza zazindikirika ndi zinthu zolengedwa, kuti iwo adzakhale opanda mau akuwiringula;
chifukwa masiku asanu ndi limodzi Yehova adamaliza zakumwamba ndi zapansi, ndi nyanja, ndi zinthu zonse zili m'menemo, napumula tsiku lachisanu ndi chiwiri; chifukwa chake Yehova anadalitsa tsiku la Sabata kuti likhale lopatulika.
Tafunsira tsono kwa nyamazo, zidzakulangiza, ndi mbalame za m'mlengalenga, zidzakuuza. Kapena ulankhule ndi dziko lapansi, lidzakulangiza; ndi nsomba za kunyanja, zidzakufotokozera. Ndaniyo sadziwa nazo izi zonse; kuti dzanja la Yehova lichita ichi?
Ndipo, Inu, Ambuye, pachiyambipo munaika maziko ake a dziko, ndipo miyamba ili ntchito ya manja anu.
Ndipo anati Mulungu, Tipange munthu m'chifanizo chathu, monga mwa chikhalidwe chathu: alamulire pa nsomba za m'nyanja, ndi pa mbalame za m'mlengalenga, ndi pa ng'ombe, ndi pa dziko lonse lapansi, ndi pa zokwawa zonse zakukwawa pa dziko lapansi.
Pakuti ichi aiwala dala, kuti miyamba inakhala kale lomwe, ndi dziko lidaungika ndi madzi ndi mwa madzi, pa mau a Mulungu;
Iye analenga dziko lapansi ndi mphamvu yake, nakhazikitsa dziko lapansi ndi nzeru yake, nayala thambo ndi kuzindikira kwake;
Chifukwa zinthu zonse zichokera kwa Iye, zichitika mwa Iye, ndi kufikira kwa Iye. Kwa Iyeyo ukhale ulemerero kunthawi zonse. Amen.
Zakumwamba zinalengedwa ndi mau a Yehova; ndipo ndi mpweya wa m'kamwa mwake khamu lao lonse.
