112 Mau a Mulungu Okhudza Mphamvu ya Mawu

Ndimaona kuti Baibulo limatiphunzitsa kuti “Kumwamba kunapangidwa ndi mawu a Yehova, ndipo khamu lonse la nyenyezi linapangidwa ndi mpunga wa pakamwa pake. Pakuti Iye ananena, ndipo zinakhalapo; Iye analamula, ndipo zinayima” (Salmo 33:6,9).

M’malemba onse, Mulungu amationetsa mphamvu ya kulankhula Mawu Ake, omwe ali ndi mphamvu yolenga yokha, chifukwa ndi mawu a moyo. Izi zikutanthauza kuti Malemba ndi amoyo, si ongopereka chidziwitso chokha, koma ali ndi mphamvu yochititsa zinthu kuchitika.

Ngakhale zingawoneke zovuta kumvetsa kapena zosokoneza kwa Mkhristu watsopano, poyamba ndi Mauthenga Abwino zidzakhala zosavuta kumvetsa dongosolo limene Mulungu ali nalo pa ife.

Mwanjira imeneyi, tidzatha kuyenda molimba nthawi zonse kupita ku cholinga chimene Mulungu anatikonzera kale, ndipo tidzaona ulemerero Wake mwanjira yayikulu potsatira malamulo ndi malangizo a Ambuye.

Lemba lililonse adaliuzira Mulungu, ndipo lipindulitsa pa chiphunzitso, chitsutsano, chikonzero, chilangizo cha m'chilungamo: kuti munthu wa Mulungu akhale woyenera, wokonzeka kuchita ntchito iliyonse yabwino.

Mau anu ndiwo nyali ya ku mapazi anga, ndi kuunika kwa panjira panga.

Ndipo tsopano muka, ndipo Ine ndidzakhala m'kamwa mwako, ndi kukuphunzitsa chomwe ukalankhule.

Ndipo anakuchepetsani, nakumvetsani njala, nakudyetsani ndi mana, amene simunawadziwe, angakhale makolo anu sanawadziwe; kuti akudziwitseni kuti munthu sakhala wamoyo ndi mkate wokha, koma munthu akhala wamoyo ndi zonse zakutuluka m'kamwa mwa Yehova.

Pakuti sichikhala kwa inu chinthu chopanda pake, popeza ndicho moyo wanu, ndipo mwa chinthu ichi mudzachulukitsa masiku anu m'dziko limene muolokera Yordani, kulilandira.

Buku ili la chilamulo lisachoke pakamwa pako; koma ulingiriremo usana ndi usiku, kuti usamalire kuchita monga mwa zonse zolembedwamo; popeza ukatero udzakometsa njira yako, nudzachita mwanzeru.

Komatu m'chilamulo cha Yehova muli chikondwerero chake; ndipo m'chilamulo chake amalingirira usana ndi usiku.

Mau a Yehova ndi mau oona; ngati siliva woyenga m'ng'anjo yadothi, yoiyeretsa kasanu ndi kawiri.

Malamulo a Yehova ali angwiro, akubwezera moyo; mboni za Yehova zili zokhazikika, zakuwapatsa opusa nzeru. Malangizo a Yehova ali olungama, akukondweretsa mtima; malamulo a Yehova ali oyera, akupenyetsa maso.

Pakuti ananena, ndipo chinachitidwa; analamulira, ndipo chinakhazikika.

Khalani akuchita mau, osati akumva okha, ndi kudzinyenga nokha.

Koma Iye anati, Inde, koma odala iwo akumva mau a Mulungu, nawasunga.

Udzu unyala, duwa lifota, koma mau a Mulungu wathu adzakhala nthawi zachikhalire.

Ndinawabisa mau anu mumtima mwanga, kuti ndisalakwire Inu.

Mulungu ndiye wangwiro m'njira zake; mau a Yehova ngoyengeka; ndiye chikopa cha onse okhulupirira Iye.

Mau anu aikika kumwamba, kosatha, Yehova.

Chifukwa chimenechi yense amene akamva mau anga amenewa, ndi kuwachita, ndidzamfanizira iye ndi munthu wochenjera, amene anamanga nyumba yake pathanthwe;

Thambo ndi dziko lapansi zidzachoka, koma mau anga sadzachoka ai.

Potsegulira mau anu paunikira; kuzindikiritsa opusa.

Pakuti Yehova apatsa nzeru; kudziwa ndi kuzindikira kutuluka m'kamwa mwake.

Ndinasankha njira yokhulupirika; ndinaika maweruzo anu pamaso panga.

Koma Iye anayankha nati, Kwalembedwa, Munthu sadzakhala ndi moyo ndi mkate wokha, koma ndi mau onse akutuluka m'kamwa mwa Mulungu.

Mwananga, tamvera mau anga; tcherera makutu ku zonena zanga. Asachoke kumaso ako; uwasunge m'kati mwa mtima wako. Pakuti ali moyo kwa omwe awapeza, nalamitsa thupi lao lonse.

Pakuti mau a Yehova ali olunjika; ndi ntchito zake zonse zikhulupirika.

Lilime lili ndi mphamvu pa imfa ndi moyo; wolikonda adzadya zipatso zake.

Mwa Mulungu ndidzalemekeza mau ake, ndakhulupirira Mulungu, sindidzaopa; anthu adzandichitanji?

momwemo adzakhala mau anga amene atuluka m'kamwa mwanga, sadzabwerera kwa Ine chabe, koma adzachita chimene ndifuna, ndipo adzakula m'mene ndinawatumizira.

Ndadzilumbira ndekha, mau achokera m'kamwa mwanga m'chilungamo, ndipo sadzabwerera, kuti mabondo onse adzandigwadira Ine, malilime onse nadzalumbira Ine.

Atero Yehova, Mombolo wako, Woyera wa Israele, Ine ndine Yehova, Mulungu wako, amene ndikuphunzitsa kupindula, amene ndikutsogolera m'njira yoyenera iwe kupitamo.

Ngati mukhala mwa Ine, ndi mau anga akhala mwa inu, pemphani chilichonse chimene muchifuna ndipo chidzachitika kwa inu.

Pakuti monga mvula imagwa pansi ndi matalala, kuchokera kumwamba yosabwerera komweko, koma ikhamiza nthaka ndi kuibalitsa, ndi kuiphukitsa, ndi kuipatsitsa mbeu kwa wobzala, ndi chakudya kwa wakudya; momwemo adzakhala mau anga amene atuluka m'kamwa mwanga, sadzabwerera kwa Ine chabe, koma adzachita chimene ndifuna, ndipo adzakula m'mene ndinawatumizira.

Mau a Khristu akhalitse mwa inu chichulukire mu nzeru yonse, ndi kuphunzitsa ndi kuyambirirana eni okha ndi masalimo, ndi mayamiko ndi nyimbo zauzimu, ndi kuimbira Mulungu ndi chisomo mumtima mwanu.

Ndipo Yehova anatulutsa dzanja lake, nakhudza pakamwa panga; nati Yehova kwa ine, Taona ndaika mau anga m'kamwa mwako;

Kunena za Mulungu, njira yake ili yangwiro; mau a Yehova anayesedwa; Iye ndiye chikopa kwa onse akukhulupirira Iye.

Chiwerengero cha mau anu ndicho choonadi; ndi maweruzo anu olungama onse akhala kosatha.

Chifukwa chake Yehova Mulungu wa makamu atero, Chifukwa munena mau awa, taona, ndidzayesa mau anga akhale m'kamwa mwako ngati moto, anthu awa ndidzayesa nkhuni, ndipo udzawatha iwo.

Ndilindira Yehova, moyo wanga ulindira, ndiyembekeza mau ake.

Kodi mau anga safanafana ndi moto? Ati Yehova, ndi kufanafana ndi nyundo imene iphwanya mwala?

Atumiza mau ake nawachiritsa, nawapulumutsa ku chionongeko chao.

Simoni Petro anamyankha Iye, Ambuye, tidzamuka kwa yani? Inu muli nao mau a moyo wosatha.

Chifukwa chake uziti nao, Atero Ambuye Yehova, Palibe amodzi a mau anga adzazengerezekanso; koma mau ndidzanenawo adzachitika, ati Ambuye Yehova.

Mau onse a Mulungu ali oyengeka; ndiye chikopa cha iwo amene amkhulupirira.

Koma kenturiyoyo anavomera nati, Ambuye, sindiyenera kuti mukalowe pansi pa tsindwi langa iai; koma mungonena mau, ndipo adzachiritsidwa mnyamata wanga.

Ndipo ndinena kwa inu, kuti mau onse opanda pake, amene anthu adzalankhula, adzawawerengera mlandu wake tsiku la kuweruza. Pakuti udzayesedwa wolungama ndi mau ako, ndipo ndi mau ako omwe udzatsutsidwa.

Chifukwa chake mukani, phunzitsani anthu a mitundu yonse, ndi kuwabatiza iwo m'dzina la Atate, ndi la Mwana, ndi la Mzimu Woyera: Ndipo onani, panali chivomezi chachikulu; pakuti mngelo wa Ambuye anatsika Kumwamba, nafika kukunkhuniza mwalawo, nakhala pamwamba pake. ndi kuwaphunzitsa, asunge zinthu zonse zimene ndinakulamulani inu; ndipo onani, Ine ndili pamodzi ndi inu masiku onse, kufikira chimaliziro cha nthawi ya pansi pano.

Wofesa afesa mau.

Thambo ndi dziko lapansi zidzapita; koma mau anga sadzapita.

Chifukwa palibe mau amodzi akuchokera kwa Mulungu adzakhala opanda mphamvu.

chifukwa mau ake anali ndi ulamuliro.

Pachiyambi panali Mau, ndipo Mau anali kwa Mulungu, ndipo Mau ndiye Mulungu.

Indetu, indetu, ndinena kwa inu, kuti iye wakumva mau anga, ndi kukhulupirira Iye amene anandituma Ine, ali nao moyo wosatha, ndipo salowa m'kuweruza, koma wachokera kuimfa, nalowa m'moyo.

Wopatsa moyo ndi mzimu; thupi silithandiza konse. Mau amene ndalankhula ndi inu ndiwo mzimu, ndi moyo.

Chifukwa chake Yesu ananena kwa Ayuda aja adakhulupirira Iye, Ngati mukhala inu m'mau anga, muli ophunzira anga ndithu; ndipo mudzazindikira choonadi, ndipo choonadi chidzakumasulani.

Mwakhala okonzeka tsopano inu chifukwa cha mau amene ndalankhula ndi inu.

Ndipo m'mene adapemphera iwo, panagwedezeka pamalo pamene adasonkhanirapo; ndipo anadzazidwa onse ndi Mzimu Woyera, nalankhula mau a Mulungu molimbika mtima.

Ndipo mau a Mulungu anakula; ndipo chiwerengero cha ophunzira chidachulukatu ku Yerusalemu; ndipo khamu lalikulu la ansembe linamvera chikhulupirirocho.

Koma mau a Mulungu anakula, nachulukitsa.

Pakuti Uthenga Wabwino sundichititsa manyazi; pakuti uli mphamvu ya Mulungu yakupulumutsa munthu aliyense wakukhulupirira; kuyambira Myuda, ndiponso Mgriki.

Koma chitani? Mau ali pafupi ndiwe, m'kamwa mwako, ndi mumtima mwako; ndiwo mau a chikhulupiriro, amene ife tiwalalikira:

Pakuti zonse zinalembedwa kale zinalembedwa kutilangiza, kuti mwa chipiriro ndi chitonthozo cha malembo, tikhale ndi chiyembekezo.

Pakuti mau a mtanda ali ndithu chinthu chopusa kwa iwo akutayika, koma kwa ife amene tilikupulumutsidwa ali mphamvu ya Mulungu.

Ndipo mau anga ndi kulalikira kwanga sanakhale ndi mau okopa a nzeru, koma m'chionetso cha Mzimu ndi cha mphamvu; kuti chikhulupiriro chanu chisakhale m'nzeru ya anthu, koma mu mphamvu ya Mulungu.

umenenso mupulumutsidwa nao ngati muugwiritsa monga momwe ndinalalikira kwa inu; ngati simunakhulupirire chabe.

Pakuti sitikhala monga ambiriwo, akuchita malonda nao mau a Mulungu; koma monga mwa choona mtima, koma monga mwa Mulungu pamaso pa Mulungu, tilankhula mwa Khristu.

koma takaniza zobisika za manyazi, osayendayenda mochenjerera, kapena kuchita nao mau a Mulungu konyenga; koma ndi maonekedwe a choonadi; tidzivomeretsa tokha ku chikumbumtima cha anthu onse pamaso pa Mulungu.

Mwa Iyeyo inunso, mutamva mau a choonadi, Uthenga Wabwino wa chipulumutso chanu, ndi kumkhulupirira Iye, munasindikizidwa chizindikiro ndi Mzimu Woyera wa lonjezano,

kuti akampatule, atamyeretsa ndi kumsambitsa madzi ndi mau;

Mutengenso chisoti cha chipulumutso, ndi lupanga la Mzimu, ndilo Mau a Mulungu;

akuonetsera mau a moyo; kuti ine ndikakhale wakudzitamandira nao m'tsiku la Khristu, kuti sindinathamange chabe, kapena kugwiritsa ntchito chabe.

chifukwa cha chiyembekezo chosungikira kwa inu mu Mwamba, chimene mudachimva kale m'mau a choonadi cha Uthenga Wabwino,

Ndipo mwa ichinso ife tiyamika Mulungu kosalekeza, kuti, pakulandira mau a Uthenga wa Mulungu, simunawalandire monga mau a anthu, komatu monga momwe ali ndithu, mau a Mulungu, amenenso achita mwa inu okhulupirira.

Kufikira ndidza ine, usamalire kuwerenga, kuchenjeza, kulangiza.

Uchite changu kudzionetsera kwa Mulungu wovomerezeka, wantchito wopanda chifukwa cha kuchita manyazi, wolunjika nao bwino mau a choonadi.

ndi kuti kuyambira ukhanda wako wadziwa malembo opatulika, okhoza kukupatsa nzeru kufikira chipulumutso, mwa chikhulupiriro cha mwa Khristu Yesu.

wogwira mau okhulupirika monga mwa chiphunzitso, kuti akakhoze kuchenjeza m'chiphunzitso cholamitsa, ndi kutsutsa otsutsana naye.

ameneyo, pokhala ali chinyezimiro cha ulemerero wake, ndi chizindikiro chenicheni cha chikhalidwe chake, nanyamula zonse ndi mau a mphamvu yake, m'mene adachita chiyeretso cha zoipa, anakhala padzanja lamanja la Ukulu mu Mwamba,

nalawa mau okoma a Mulungu, ndi mphamvu ya nthawi ilinkudza,

Ndi chikhulupiriro tizindikira kuti maiko ndi a m'mwamba omwe anakonzedwa ndi mau a Mulungu, kotero kuti zinthu zopenyeka sizinapangidwe kuchokera mu zoonekazo.

Kumbukirani atsogoleri anu, amene analankhula nanu Mau a Mulungu; ndipo poyang'anira chitsiriziro cha mayendedwe ao mutsanze chikhulupiriro chao.

Mwa chifuniro chake mwini anatibala ife ndi mau a choonadi, kuti tikhale ife ngati zipatso zoyamba za zolengedwa zake.

Mwa ichi, mutavula chinyanso chonse ndi chisefukiro cha choipa, landirani ndi chifatso mau ookedwa mwa inu, okhoza kupulumutsa moyo wanu.

Kotero lilimenso lili chiwalo chaching'ono, ndipo lidzikuzira zazikulu. Taonani, kamoto kakang'ono kayatsa nkhuni zambiri! Ndipo lilime ndilo moto; ngati dziko la chosalungama mwa ziwalo zathu laikika lilime, ndili lodetsa thupi lonse, niliyatsa mayendedwe a chibadwidwe, ndipo liyatsidwa ndi Gehena.

inu amene mudabadwanso, osati ndi mbeu yofeka, komatu yosaola, mwa mau a Mulungu amoyo ndi okhalitsa. Popeza, Anthu onse akunga udzu, ndi ulemerero wao wonse ngati duwa la udzu. Udzuwo ungofota, ndi duwa lake lingogwa; koma Mau a Ambuye akhala chikhalire. Ndipo mau olalikidwa kwa inu ndi awo.

lirani monga makanda alero mkaka woyenera, wopanda chinyengo, kuti mukakule nao kufikira chipulumutso;

akalankhula wina, alankhule ngati manenedwe a Mulungu; wina akatumikira, achite ngati mu mphamvu imene Mulungu ampatsa, kuti m'zonse Mulungu alemekezedwe mwa Yesu Khristu, amene ali nao ulemerero ndi mphamvu kunthawi za nthawi. Amen.

Ndipo tili nao mau a chinenero okhazikika koposa; amene muchita bwino powasamalira, monga nyali younikira m'malo a mdima, kufikira kukacha, nikauka nthanda pa mtima yanu; Chisomo kwa inu ndi mtendere zichulukitsidwe m'chidziwitso cha Mulungu ndi Yesu Ambuye wathu. ndi kudziwa ichi poyamba, kuti palibe chinenero cha lembo chitanthauzidwa pa chokha, pakuti kale lonse chinenero sichinadze ndi chifuniro cha munthu; koma anthu a Mulungu, ogwidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera, analankhula.

Pakuti ichi aiwala dala, kuti miyamba inakhala kale lomwe, ndi dziko lidaungika ndi madzi ndi mwa madzi, pa mau a Mulungu; mwa izi dziko lapansi la masiku aja, pomizika ndi madzi, lidaonongeka; koma miyamba ndi dziko la masiku ano, ndi mau omwewo zaikika kumoto, zosungika kufikira tsiku la chiweruzo ndi chionongeko cha anthu osapembedza.

Chimene chinaliko kuyambira pachiyambi, chimene tidachimva, chimene tidachiona m'maso mwathu, chimene tidachipenyerera, ndipo manja athu adachigwira cha Mau a moyo,

Ndakulemberani, atate, popeza mwamzindikira Iye amene ali kuyambira pachiyambi. Ndakulemberani, anyamata, popeza muli amphamvu, ndi mau a Mulungu akhala mwa inu, ndipo mwamgonjetsa woipayo.

Ndipo uku ndi kulimbika mtima kumene tili nako kwa Iye, kuti ngati tipempha kanthu monga mwa chifuniro chake, atimvera; ndipo ngati tidziwa kuti atimvera chilichonse tichipempha, tidziwa kuti tili nazo izi tazipempha kwa Iye.

Wodala iye amene awerenga, ndi iwo amene akumva mau a chinenerocho, nasunga zolembedwa momwemo; pakuti nthawi yayandikira.

Ndidziwa ntchito zako (taona, ndapatsa pamaso pako khomo lotseguka limene munthu sangathe kutsekapo), kuti uli nayo mphamvu pang'ono, ndipo unasunga mau anga, osakana dzina langa.

Ndipo iwo anampambana iye chifukwa cha mwazi wa Mwanawankhosa, ndi chifukwa cha mau a umboni wao; ndipo sanakonde moyo wao kungakhale kufikira imfa.

Ndipo avala chovala chowazidwa mwazi; ndipo atchedwa dzina lake, Mau a Mulungu.

Mwananga, usaiwale malamulo anga, mtima wako usunge malangizo anga; motero nkhokwe zako zidzangoti thee, mbiya zako zidzasefuka vinyo. Mwananga, usapeputse mwambo wa Yehova, ngakhale kutopa ndi kudzudzula kwake; pakuti Yehova adzudzula omwe awakonda; monga atate mwana amene akondwera naye. Wodala ndi wopeza nzeru, ndi woona luntha; pakuti malonda a nzeru aposa malonda a siliva, phindu lake liposa golide woyengeka. Mtengo wake uposa ngale; ndipo zonse zikukondweretsa sizilingana naye. Masiku ambiri ali m'dzanja lamanja lake; chuma ndi ulemu m'dzanja lake lamanzere. Njira zake zili zokondweretsa, mayendedwe ake onse ndiwo mtendere. Ndiyo mtengo wa moyo wa akuigwira; wakuiumirira ngwodala. Yehova anakhazika dziko ndi nzeru; naika zamwamba ndi luntha. pakuti adzakuonjezera masiku ambiri, ndi zaka za moyo ndi mtendere.

Mwananga, sunga malangizo a atate wako, usasiye malamulo a mai ako; uwamange pamtima pako osaleka; uwalunze pakhosi pako. Adzakutsogolera ulikuyenda, ndi kukudikira uli m'tulo, ndi kulankhula nawe utauka.

Ndipo ndaika mau anga m'kamwa mwako; ndipo ndakuphimba ndi mthunzi wa dzanja langa, kuti ndikhazike kumwamba ndi kuika maziko a dziko lapansi, ndi kunena kwa Ziyoni, Inu ndinu anthu anga.

Ndipo kunena za Ine, ili ndi pangano langa ndi iwo, ati Yehova; mzimu wanga umene uli pa iwe, ndi mau anga amene ndaika m'kamwa mwako sadzachoka m'kamwa mwako, pena m'kamwa mwa ana ako, pena m'kamwa mwa mbeu ya mbeu yako, ati Yehova, kuyambira tsopano ndi kunthawi zonse.

Ndipo Yehova anati kwa ine, Waona bwino pakuti Ine ndidzadikira mau anga kuwachita.

Ndipo iye amene afesedwa pa nthaka yabwino, uyu ndiye wakumva mau nawadziwitsa; amene abaladi zipatso, nazifitsa, ena za makumi khumi, ena za makumi asanu ndi limodzi, ena za makumi atatu.

Ndipo iwowa anatuluka, nalalikira ponseponse, ndipo Ambuye anachita nao pamodzi, natsimikiza mau ndi zizindikiro zakutsatapo. Amen.

Yesu anayankha nati kwa iye, Ngati wina akonda Ine, adzasunga mau anga; ndipo Atate wanga adzamkonda, ndipo tidzadza kwa iye, ndipo tidzayesa kwa iye mokhalamo.

Chotero mau a Ambuye anachuluka mwamphamvu napambana.

Pakuti mau a Mulungu ali amoyo, ndi ochitachita, ndi akuthwa koposa lupanga lakuthwa konsekonse, napyoza kufikira kugawira moyo ndi mzimu, ndi zimfundo ndi mafuta a m'mafupa, nazindikiritsa zolingirira ndi zitsimikizo za mtima.

Chomwecho chikhulupiriro chidza ndi mbiri, ndi mbiri idza mwa mau a Khristu.

inu amene mudabadwanso, osati ndi mbeu yofeka, komatu yosaola, mwa mau a Mulungu amoyo ndi okhalitsa.

Zakumwamba zinalengedwa ndi mau a Yehova; ndipo ndi mpweya wa m'kamwa mwake khamu lao lonse.

Ndipo anati Mulungu, Kuyere; ndipo kunayera.

Mau anu anapezeka, ndipo ndinawadya; mau anu anakhala kwa ine chikondwero ndi chisangalalo cha mtima wanga; pakuti ndatchedwa dzina lanu, Yehova Mulungu wa makamu.

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 chingwe cha nsapato yake. Zinthu izi zinachitika mu 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 sikunalengedwe kanthu kalikonse kolengedwa.

Patulani iwo m'choonadi; mau anu ndi choonadi.

Ndipo Mau anasandulika thupi, nakhazikika pakati pa ife, ndipo tinaona ulemerero wake, ulemerero wonga wa wobadwa yekha wa Atate, wodzala ndi chisomo ndi choonadi.

Pemphero kwa Mulungu
