72 Mau a M'Baibulo Olimbikitsa M'mavuto
Nthawi zovuta zimadza m'moyo, ngakhale zikuwoneka zolemetsa komanso popanda yankho la msanga. Koma dziwa kuti nthawi izi zimatipangitsa kukhala olimba, ngati mtengo wozama mizu womwe sungagwe ndi mphepo yamphamvu. Inde, palibe amene amakonzekera mavuto, amabwera modzidzimutsa. Koma Baibulo limatipatsa malangizo, ndipo Mulungu nthawi zonse amapezeka kutipatsa mphamvu ndi chilimbikitso, monga mmene lemba la Yesaya 41:10 limati, "Usachite mantha, pakuti Ine ndili ndiwe; usayang'ane uku ndi uku, pakuti Ine ndine Mulungu wako; ndidzakulimbitsa, ndidzakuthandiza, ndidzakugwira ndi dzanja langa lamanja lolungama."
Khulupirira chikondi cha Mulungu, dziwa kuti akuyang'anira moyo wako mosamala kwambiri. Dzanja lake lamphamvu lidzakugwira, silidzakuleka kugwa, bola ukapempha thandizo lake ndi mtima wonse. Suli wekha pa ulendowu. Vuto lomwe ukukumana nalo silikuyenera kukufooketsa kapena kukusokoneza, pakuti Yesu ndiye thandizo lako.
Sungani chiyembekezo, khalani ndi chikhulupiriro, pakuti dzuwa la chilungamo lidzawukanso. Pakadali pano, tamandani Mulungu, phunzira kukondwera ngakhale muli m'chipululu. Siyani kudandaula, yambani kuona zabwino m'zinthu zonse, ndipo mzimu wanu udzadzaza ndi chiyamiko mukaona kukoma mtima kwa Mulungu pa moyo wanu.
Chauta ndiye thanthwe langa, linga langa ndi mpulumutsi wanga. Ndiye Mulungu wanga, ndi thanthwe langa limene ndimathaŵirako. Ndiye chishango changa, ndiye mtetezi wanga ndi mpulumutsi wanga, ndiye linga langa.
Ngakhale anaamkango amasoŵa chakudya ndipo amakhala anjala, koma anthu amene amalakalaka Chauta, sasoŵa zinthu zabwino.
Inu ndinu kobisalira kwanga. Inu mumanditchinjiriza nthaŵi yamavuto. Nchifukwa chake ndimaimba nyimbo zotamanda chipulumutso chanu. Chauta akuti, “Ndidzakudziŵitsa ndi kukuphunzitsa njira imene uyenera kuyendamo. Ndidzakulangiza ndi kukuyang'anira.
Chauta mwini wake adzakutsogolera, ndipo adzakhala nawe. Sadzalola kuti ulephere, ndipo sadzakusiya. Motero usachite mantha kapena kutaya mtima.”
Pamene anthu ake akulira kuti aŵathandize, Chauta amamva naŵapulumutsa m'mavuto ao onse.
Koma tsopano Chauta amene adakulenga iwe Yakobe, amene adakuumba iwe Israele, akunena kuti, “Usaope, chifukwa ndidakuwombola, ndidachita kukutchula dzina lako, ndiwe wanga. Inu Aisraele, ndinu mboni zanga, ndinu atumiki anga amene ndidakusankhulani, kuti mundidziŵe ndi kundikhulupirira, ndipo mumvetse kuti Mulungu ndine ndekha. Patsogolo panga sipadapangidwepo mulungu wina, ndipo pambuyo panga sipadzakhalanso wina. Chauta ndi Ineyo, mpulumutsi wanu ndine ndekha. Ndine amene ndidaneneratu zimenezi, ndipo ndine ndidakupulumutsani. Si mulungu wina wachilendo amene adazichita pakati pa inu. Inu nomwe ndinu mboni zanga, ndikutero Ine Chauta. Ine ndine Mulungu ndipo ndidzakhalapo nthaŵi zonse. Palibe amene angathe kuthaŵa m'manja mwanga, palibe amene angathe kusintha zochita zanga.” Chauta, Momboli wanu, Woyera uja wa Israele, akunena kuti, “Ndidzatuma gulu lankhondo kukalimbana ndi Babiloni, kuti ndikupulumutseni. Ndidzagwetsa zipata za mzindawo, ndipo kukondwa kwa anthu ake kudzasanduka kulira. Ine ndine Chauta, Woyera wanu uja, Mlengi wa Israele. Ine ndekha ndine mfumu yanu.” Kale lija Chauta adapanga njira pa nyanja, njira pakati pa madzi amphamvu. Adasonkhanitsa magaleta ndi akavalo, ndiponso gulu lankhondo ndi asirikali amphamvu. Onsewo adagwa osadzukanso, adazimitsidwa ndi kutheratu ngati chingwe cha nyale. Iyeyo akunena kuti, “Musakumbukire zakale kapena kumaganiziranso zinthu zimene zidachitika kale. Ndikuchita zinthu zatsopano. Zayamba kale kuwoneka, kodi simukuzipenya? Ndikulambula mseu m'chipululu, ndipo ndikukupatsani mitsinje m'dziko louma. Pamene ukuwoloka nyanja, ndidzakhala nawe, pamene ukuwoloka mitsinje, siidzakukokolola. Pamene ukudutsa pa moto sudzapsa, malaŵi ake sadzakutentha. Nyama zakuthengo zidzandilemekeza, nkhandwe ndi nthiŵatiŵa zidzanditamanda, chifukwa ndidzayendetsa madzi m'chipululu ndipo ndidzayendetsa mitsinje m'dziko louma, kuti ndiŵapatse madzi anthu anga osankhidwa. Amenewo ndi anthu amene ndidadzilengera, ndipo azindiimbira nyimbo zotamanda Ine.” Chauta akuti, “Koma simudapemphere kwa Ine, inu am'banja la Yakobe, mudatopa nane, inu Aisraele. Simudadzatule kwa Ine nkhosa kuti zikhale zopereka zopsereza, simudandilemekeze ndi nsembe zanu. Sindidakulemetseni pomakupemphani zopereka zanu, sindidakutopetseni pomakupemphani lubani. Simudandigulire bango lonunkhira, simudandipatse mafuta okwanira a nsembe zanu. Koma m'malo mwake inu mwanditopetsa ndi machimo anu, mwandilemetsa ndi zolakwa zanu. “Ine, Ineyo ndithu, ndine amene ndimafafaniza machimo anu, kuti ulemerero wanga uwoneke. Sindidzasungabe mlandu wa machimo anu. Mundikumbutse zakale, titsutsane. Mufotokoze mlandu wanu kuwonetsa kuti simudalakwe. Atate anu oyamba adachimwa, atsogoleri anu aja adandilakwira. Mafumu anu adaipitsa malo anga opatulika. Nchifukwa chake ndidalola kuti banja la Yakobe liwonongedwe, ndidalola kuti Aisraele anyozedwe.” Pajatu Ine ndine Chauta, Mulungu wako. Ndine Woyera uja wa Israele, Mpulumutsi wako. Ndidzapereka Ejipito pofuna kuwombola iwe. Ndidzapereka Etiopiya ndi Seba m'malo mwa iwe.
Musade nkhaŵa ndi kanthu kalikonse, koma m'mapemphero anu onse muzipempha Mulungu zimene zikusoŵani, ndipo nthaŵi zonse muzipemphe ndi mtima woyamika.
Ndidapemphera kwa Chauta ndipo adandiyankha. Adandipulumutsa kwa zonse zimene ndinkaziwopa.
“Zoonadi, Mulungu ndiye Mpulumutsi wanga, ndidzamkhulupirira Iye, ndipo sindidzaopa. Pakuti Chauta ndiye mphamvu zondilimbitsa, ndiye amene ndimamuimbira, ndiye Mpulumutsi wanga.”
Mulungu ndiye kothaŵira kwathu, ndiye mphamvu zathu. Ali wokonzekeratu kutithandiza pa nthaŵi yamavuto. “Khalani chete, ndipo mudziŵe kuti ndine Mulungu. Mitundu ya anthu imanditamanda, a m'dziko lapansi amandiyamika.” Chauta Wamphamvuzonse ali nafe, Mulungu wa Yakobe ndiye kothaŵira kwathu. Nchifukwa chake sitidzaopa ngakhale dziko lapansi lisinthike, ngakhale mapiri agwe pakati pa nyanja zozama, ngakhale nyanja zikokome ndi kututuma. Ngakhale mapiri anjenjemere ndi kulindima kwa nyanja.
Tula kwa Chauta nkhaŵa zako, ndipo Iye adzakuchirikiza. Sadzalola konse kuti wolungama wake agwedezeke.
Chauta ndi wabwino, ndiye kothaŵira pa nthaŵi yamavuto. Amasamala onse amene amadalira Iye.
Ndakuuzani zimenezi kuti mukhale nawo mtendere pakukhulupirira Ine. M'dziko lapansi mudzaona masautso, koma limbikani, Ine ndagonjetsa mphamvu zoipa za dziko lapansi.”
Chipulumutso cha anthu abwino chimachokera kwa Chauta. Chauta ndiye kothaŵirako anthuwo pa nthaŵi yamavuto.
Abale anga, muzikondwa ndithu mukamayesedwa ndi mavuto amitundumitundu. Paja munthu wokwiya safikapo pa chilungamo chimene amafuna Mulungu. Nchifukwa chake siyani chizoloŵezi chilichonse chonyansa, ndiponso kuipamtima kulikonse. Muŵalandire mofatsa mau amene Mulungu adabzala m'mitima mwanu, pakuti ndiwo angathe kukupulumutsani. Musamadzinyenga pakungomva chabe mau a Mulungu, koma muzichita zimene mauwo anena. Paja munthu amene amangomva chabe mau, osachita zimene wamvazo, ali ngati munthu woyang'anira nkhope yake yachibadwa m'galasi. Tsono amati akadzipenya, amachokapo, posachedwa nkuiŵalako m'mene akuwonekera. Malamulo a Mulungu ndi angwiro ndiponso opatsa anthu ufulu. Munthu amene amalandira Malamulowo nkumaŵatsata mosamala, amene samangomva mau nkuŵaiŵala, koma amaŵagwiritsa ntchito, ameneyo Mulungu adzamdalitsa pa zochita zake zonse. Ngati wina akudziyesa woika mtima pa zopembedza Mulungu, koma nkukhala wosasunga pakamwa, chipembedzo chakecho nchopanda pake, ndipo amangodzinyenga. 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. Paja mukudziŵa kuti mukamayesedwa m'chikhulupiriro chanu, mumasanduka olimbika. Koma kulimbika kumeneku kuzigwira ntchito yake kotheratu, kuti mukhale angwiro, opanda chilema ndi osapereŵera pa kanthu kalikonse.
Khalani amphamvu ndiponso mulimbe mtima. Musaŵaope anthu ameneŵa, musachite nawo mantha, chifukwa Chauta, Mulungu wanu, adzakhala nanu. Sadzalola kuti mulephere, ndipo sadzakusiyani.
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.
Usachite mantha chifukwa Ine ndili nawe, usataye mtima, poti Ine ndine Mulungu wako. Ndidzakupatsa mphamvu, ndidzakuthandiza, ndidzakutchinjiriza ndi dzanja langa lamanja logonjetsa.
Yesu adati, “Ndithu ndikunenetsa kuti ngati mukhala ndi chikhulupiriro, osakayika, mudzachita zimene ndauchita mkuyuzi. Koma si pokhapo ai, ngakhale mutauza phiri ili kuti, ‘Choka apa, kadziponye m'nyanja,’ zidzachitikadi.
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.
Chauta ndiye muuni wanga ndi chipulumutso changa. Ndidzaopa yani? Chauta ndiye linga la moyo wanga, nanga ndichitirenji mantha?
Chauta ndiye muuni wanga ndi chipulumutso changa. Ndidzaopa yani? Chauta ndiye linga la moyo wanga, nanga ndichitirenji mantha? Ngakhale bambo wanga ndi mai wanga andisiye ndekha, Inu Chauta mudzandisamala. Mundiwonetse njira zanu zachifundo, Inu Chauta, munditsogolere m'njira yosalala, chifukwa ndili ndi adani ambiri. Musandipereke m'manja mwa adani angawo. Mboni zonama zandiwukira, ndipo zimandiwopseza. Ndikhulupirira kuti ndidzaona ubwino wake wa Chauta m'dziko la amoyo. Tsono khulupirira Chauta. Khala wamphamvu, ndipo ulimbe mtima. Ndithu, khulupirira Chauta. Pamene adani ndi amaliwongo anga andiputa kuti andiphe, adzaphunthwa ndipo adzagwa. Ngakhale gulu lankhondo lindizinge, mtima wanga sudzachita mantha konse. Ngakhale nkhondo ibuke kulimbana nane, ine sindidzaleka kukhulupirira.
Tiyamike Mulungu, Atate a Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu. Ndiwo Atate a chifundo ndi otilimbitsa mtima kwathunthu. Mulungu amatilimbitsa mtima m'masautso athu onse, kuti monga momwe Iye amalimbitsira ife mtima, nafenso tithe kuŵalimbitsa mtima anzathu amene ali pakati pa masautso amitundumitundu.
Ndipo Mulungu adati, “Ine ndemwe ndidzapita nawe pamodzi, ndipo ndidzakupatsa mtendere.”
Chauta ndiye mphamvu zanga, ndiyenso chishango changa chonditeteza. Ndaika mtima wanga wonse pa Iye. Wandithandiza, choncho mtima wanga ukusangalala, ndipo ndimamthokoza ndi nyimbo yanga.
Mulungu ndiye kothaŵira kwathu, ndiye mphamvu zathu. Ali wokonzekeratu kutithandiza pa nthaŵi yamavuto.
Paja Mzimu amene Mulungu adatipatsa, si Mzimu wotipatsa mtima wa mantha ai, koma Mzimu wotipatsa mphamvu, chikondi ndi kudzigwira.
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.
“Ndikukusiyirani mtendere. Ndikukupatsani mtendere wanga. Sindikukupatsani mtenderewo monga m'mene dziko lino lapansi limapatsira ai. Mtima wanu usavutike kapena kuda nkhaŵa.
Abale, sindikuganiza konse kuti ndazipata kale. Koma pali chimodzi chokha chimene ndimachita: ndimaiŵala zakumbuyo, ndi kuyesetsa kufikira ku zakutsogolo. Ndikuthamangira ku mapeto a mpikisano wa liŵirowu, kuti ndikalandire mphotho Kumwamba, imene Mulungu akutiitanira kudzera mwa Khristu Yesu.
Koma ine ndikupempha Chauta, ndipo Iye adzandithandiza. Madzulo, m'maŵa ndi masana ndikudandaula ndi kulira, ndipo Iye adzamva mau anga. Adzapulumutsa moyo wanga pa nkhondo imene ndikumenya, pakuti anthu ambiri akukangana nane.
Ngakhale achinyamata amalefuka ndi kufooka, ngakhale anyamata amaphunthwa ndi kugwa. Koma amene amakhulupirira Chauta adzalandira mphamvu zatsopano, adzauluka ngati ziwombankhanga. Adzathamanga koma osatopa, adzayenda koma osalefuka konse.
Ndithu ndikudziŵa mosakayika konse kuti palibe kanthu kangatilekanitse ndi chikondi chake. Ngakhale imfa kapena moyo, ngakhale angelo kapena olamulira, ngakhale zinthu zimene zilipo tsopano, kapena zimene zidzaoneke m'tsogolomo, kapena zamphamvu zina zilizonse, ngakhale zakumwamba kapena zapansi, kapenanso kanthu kena kalikonse kolengedwa, sikangadzatilekanitse ndi chikondi cha Mulungu, chimene tili nacho mwa Khristu Yesu Ambuye athu.
Ndipo tikudziŵa kuti Mulungu amayendetsa zinthu mwa njira yoti zonse ziŵakomere anthu omukonda ndipo apindulepo. Anthuwo ndi amene Iye amaŵaitana monga momwe Iye adazikonzera.
Ndangoti thapsa m'fumbi. Bwezereni moyo monga momwe mudalonjezera. Pamene ndidasimba za njira zanga, Inu mudandiyankha. Phunzitseni malamulo anu.
Inu Chauta, mumapatsa mtendere weniweni kwa amene ali ndi mtima wokhazikika, chifukwa chokhulupirira Inu. Inu anthu, mukhulupirire Chauta mpaka muyaya, chifukwa chakuti Chauta Mulungu ndiye thanthwe losatha.
Ngakhale mikuyu ipande kuchita maluŵa, mipesa ipande kukhala ndi mphesa, mitengo ya olivi ipande kubala zipatso, m'minda musatuluke kanthu, ndipo nkhosa ndi ng'ombe zithe m'khola, komabe kwanga nkukondwerera mwa Chauta, kwanga nkusangalala chifukwa cha Mulungu Mpulumutsi wanga.
Ndimakweza maso anga ku mapiri. Kodi chithandizo changa chimachokera kuti? Chithandizo changa nchochokera kwa Chauta, amene adalenga kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi.
“Bwerani kwa Ine, inu nonse otopa ndi olemedwa, ndipo Ine ndidzakupatsani mpumulo. Senzani goli langa ndipo phunzirani kwa Ine, pakuti ndine wofatsa ndi wa mtima wodzichepetsa; mukatero mudzapeza mpumulo m'mitima mwanu. “Kodi Inu ndinu uja ankati adzabwerayu, kapena tiziyembekezera wina?” Pajatu goli limene ndimakoleka Ine nlosavuta, ndipo katundu amene ndimasenzetsa Ine ngwopepuka.”
Koma amene amakhulupirira Chauta adzalandira mphamvu zatsopano, adzauluka ngati ziwombankhanga. Adzathamanga koma osatopa, adzayenda koma osalefuka konse.
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.
Mulungu amene amatipatsa chikhulupiriro, adzaze mitima yanu ndi chimwemwe ndi mtendere pakumvera Iye, kuti chiyembekezo chanu chizikulirakulira ndi mphamvu za Mzimu Woyera.
Khalani okondwa nthaŵi zonse. Muzipemphera kosalekeza. Muzithokoza Mulungu pa zonse. Paja zimene Mulungu amafuna kuti muzichita mwa Khristu Yesu nzimenezi.
Pa tsiku limene ndidakuitanani, Inu mudandiyankha, mumandilimbitsa mtima ndi mphamvu zanu.
Mkwiyo wake ndi wa kanthaŵi chabe, koma kukoma mtima kwake nkwa moyo wonse. Misozi ingachezere kugwa usiku, m'maŵa kumabwera chimwemwe chokhachokha.
Uzikhulupirira Chauta ndi mtima wako wonse, usadalire nzeru zako za kumvetsa zinthu. Pa ntchito zako zonse uzivomera kuti kuli Mulungu, choncho njira zako Iye adzazilungamitsa.
Nchifukwa chake sititaya mtima. Ngakhale thupi lathu likunka lifookerafookera, komabe mu mtima tikulandira mphamvu yatsopano tsiku ndi tsiku. Masautso athu ndi opepuka, a nthaŵi yochepa, komabe akutitengera ulemerero umene uli waukulu kopambana, ndiponso wamuyaya. Mitima yathu siili pa zinthu zooneka, koma pa zinthu zosaoneka. Paja zooneka nzosakhalitsa, koma zosaoneka ndiye zamuyaya.
Thupi langa ndi mtima wanga zingafooke chotani, Mulungu ndiye mphamvu za mtima wanga ndiyenso wondigaŵira madalitso mpaka muyaya.
Ulemerero ukhale kwa Mulungu amene, mwa mphamvu yake yogwira ntchito mwa ife, angathe kuchita zochuluka kupitirira kutalitali zimene tingazipemphe kapena kuziganiza.
Pamene ndichita mantha ndimadalira Inu. Ndimatamanda Mulungu chifukwa cha zimene wandilonjeza. Ndimakhulupirira Mulungu mopanda mantha. Kodi munthu angandichite chiyani?
Chikondi chanu chosasinthika chindisangalatse ine mtumiki wanu, monga momwe mudalonjezera.
Lero ndiye tsiku limene Chauta adalipanga. Tiyeni tikondwe ndi kusangalala pa tsiku limeneli.
Motero musadere nkhaŵa zamaŵa. Zamaŵa nzamaŵa. Tsiku lililonse lili ndi zovuta zake zokwanira.
Chauta ali pafupi ndi onse amene amamutama mopemba. Ali pafupi ndi onse amene amamutama mokhulupirika.
Tilimbikire kuvomereza mosafookera zimene timaziyembekeza, pakuti Iye amene adatilonjeza zimenezi ngwokhulupirika.
Koma si pokhapo ai, timakondweranso m'masautso athu. Pakuti tikudziŵa kuti masautso amaphunzitsa munthu kupirira, kupirira kumabweretsa makhalidwe ovomerezedwa ndi Mulungu, ndipo makhalidwe ovomerezedwawo amabweretsa chiyembekezo. Chiyembekezo chimenechi munthu sichingamugwiritse fuwa lamoto ai, pakuti Mulungu mwa Mzimu Woyera amene Iye adatipatsa, adadzaza mitima yathu ndi chikondi chake.
Pamene ukuwoloka nyanja, ndidzakhala nawe, pamene ukuwoloka mitsinje, siidzakukokolola. Pamene ukudutsa pa moto sudzapsa, malaŵi ake sadzakutentha.
Bwanji ukumva chisoni, iwe mtima wanga? Chifukwa chiyani ukuvutika choncho m'kati mwanga? Khulupirira Mulungu, pakuti ndidzamtamandanso, Iye amene ali thandizo langa ndi Mulungu wanga.
