MAVESI OKHUDZA NDALAMA NDI NDALAMA

Nditha kugula chakudya ndi zovala ndi ndalama; ndimalipira lendi kapena kugula nyumba. Ndalama ndi zofunika kwambiri pa moyo wathu. Tikaganiza kuti zitatha, anthu angachite mantha kwambiri ndipo padzakhala nkhondo kulikonse m’masiku ochepa. Koma ndalama sizithela mphamvu zonse.

M’Mawu a Mulungu timapeza vesi ili: Pakuti chikondi cha ndalama chiyambitsa zoipa zonse. Ndipo ena pofuna chuma, anasochera pa chikhulupiriro, nadzipyoza ndi zopweteka zambiri. (1 Timoteo 6:10) Pa moyo wathu, wautali kapena waufupi, taonanso amuna ndi akazi amene anagwira ntchito molimbika kuti apeze chuma koma pamapeto pake, monga mwalembedwera pamwambapa, sanapite nacho chilichonse. Kukonda ndalama n’kutani? N’kukhala wolamulidwa ndi chilakolako chimene chimatipangitsa kuganiza ndi kuchita zinthu pofuna kulemera kapena kukhala ndi zinthu zambiri.

Ndikufuna kufotokoza bwino apa, sikulakwa kukhala ndi ndalama, koma Paulo akutiuza kuti choipa n’kuzikonda ndalama. Baibulo limatiuza kuti sitingathe kutumikira Mulungu ndi chuma nthawi imodzi. “Palibe munthu angathe kutumikira ambuye awiri; pakuti adzadana ndi mmodzi, nakonda winayo; kapena adzakhulupirira mmodzi, nanyoza winayo. Simungathe kutumikira Mulungu ndi Mamona.” (Mateyu 6:24) Palibe munthu amene amatumikira Mulungu amene angatumikirenso chuma. Ndipo m’njira yomweyonso, munthu amene amatumikira chuma, amene wagwidwa nacho ukapolo, sangatumikire Mulungu.

Ikani Mulungu patsogolo pa chilichonse ndipo Iye yekha azilamulira miyoyo yathu.

Iye amene akhala pansi m'ngaka yake ya Wam'mwambamwamba adzagonera mu mthunzi wa Wamphamvuyonse. palibe choipa chidzakugwera, ndipo cholanga sichidzayandikiza hema wako. Pakuti adzalamulira angelo ake za iwe, akusunge m'njira zako zonse. Adzakunyamula pa manja ao, ungagunde phazi lako pamwala. Udzaponda mkango ndi mphiri; udzapondereza msona wa mkango ndi chinjoka. Popeza andikondadi ndidzampulumutsa; ndidzamkweza m'mwamba, popeza adziwa dzina langa. Adzandifuulira Ine ndipo ndidzamyankha; kunsautso ndidzakhala naye pamodzi; ndidzamlanditsa, ndi kumchitira ulemu. Ndidzamkhutitsa ndi masiku ambiri, ndi kumuonetsera chipulumutso changa. Ndidzati kwa Yehova, Pothawirapo panga ndi linga langa; Mulungu wanga, amene ndimkhulupirira.

Yehova adzakusunga kukuchotsera zoipa zilizonse; adzasunga moyo wako. Yehova adzasungira kutuluka kwako ndi kulowa kwako, kuyambira tsopano kufikira nthawi zonse.

Pereka zochita zako kwa Yehova, ndipo zolingalira zako zidzakhazikika.

Koma Ambuye ali wokhulupirika amene adzakukhazikitsani inu, nadzakudikirirani kuletsa woipayo;

Muli zolingalira zambiri m'mtima mwa munthu; koma uphungu wa Yehova ndiwo udzaimika.

Yehova ndiye thanthwe langa, ndi linga langa, ndi Mpulumutsi wanga; Mulungu wanga, ngaka yanga, ndidzakhulupirira Iye; chikopa changa, nyanga ya chipulumutso changa, msanje wanga.

Chifukwa chake, abale anga okondedwa, khalani okhazikika, osasunthika, akuchuluka mu ntchito ya Ambuye, nthawi zonse, podziwa kuti kuchititsa kwanu sikuli chabe mwa Ambuye.

Yehova ndi wanga; sindidzaopa; adzandichitanji munthu?

Ndi ntchito ya chilungamo idzakhala mtendere; ndi zotsata chilungamo zidzakhala mtendere, ndi kukhulupirika kunthawi zonse.

Ndipo tidziwa kuti amene akonda Mulungu zinthu zonse zithandizana kuwachitira ubwino, ndiwo amene aitanidwa monga mwa kutsimikiza kwa mtima wake.

Khulupirira Yehova, ndipo chita chokoma; khala m'dziko, ndipo tsata choonadi.

Inu ndinu ochokera mwa Mulungu, tiana, ndipo munailaka; pakuti Iye wakukhala mwa inu aposa iye wakukhala m'dziko lapansi. Iwo ndiwo ochokera m'dziko lapansi;

Mulungu ndiye wondizingiza mphamvu m'chuuno, nakonza njira yanga ikhale yangwiro.

Moyo wanga uumirira Inu. Dzanja lamanja lanu lindigwiriziza.

Idzani kuno kwa Ine nonsenu akulema ndi kuthodwa, ndipo Ine ndidzakupumulitsani inu.

kuti atchinjirize njira za chiweruzo, nadikire khwalala la opatulidwa ake.

Yehova ndiye wakukusunga; Yehova ndiye mthunzi wako wa kudzanja lako lamanja.

Ndipo ndinapenya, ndinanyamuka, ndinanena kwa aufulu, ndi olamulira, ndi anthu otsala, Musamawaopa iwo; kumbukirani Yehova wamkulu ndi woopsa, ndi kuponyera nkhondo abale anu, ana anu aamuna ndi aakazi, akazi anu, ndi nyumba zanu.

Pakuti maso a Ambuye ali pa olungama, ndi makutu ake akumva pembedzo lao; koma nkhope ya Ambuye ili pa ochita zoipa.

Adzandifuulira Ine ndipo ndidzamyankha; kunsautso ndidzakhala naye pamodzi; ndidzamlanditsa, ndi kumchitira ulemu.

Inu mudzasunga mtima wokhazikika mu mtendere weniweni, chifukwa ukukhulupirirani Inu.

Khulupirirani pa Iye nyengo zonse, anthu inu, tsanulirani mitima yanu pamaso pake. Mulungu ndiye pothawirapo ife.

Chinjiriza mtima wako koposa zonse uzisunga; pakuti magwero a moyo atulukamo.

Pakuti ndidziwa malingiriro amene ndilingiririra inu, ati Yehova, malingiriro a mtendere, si a choipa, akukupatsani inu adzukulu ndi chiyembekezero.

Pereka njira yako kwa Yehova; khulupiriranso Iye, adzachichita.

nati iye, Tamverani Ayuda inu nonse, ndi inu okhala m'Yerusalemu, ndi inu mfumu Yehosafati, atero nanu Yehova, Musaope musatenge nkhawa chifukwa cha aunyinji ambiri awa; pakuti nkhondoyi si yanu, koma ya Mulungu.

Pakuti Ambuye Yehova adzandithangata Ine; chifukwa chake sindinasokonezedwa; chifukwa chake ndakhazika nkhope yanga ngati mwala, ndipo ndidziwa kuti sindidzakhala ndi manyazi.

Ndipo kwa Iye amene angathe kuchita koposaposatu zonse zimene tizipempha, kapena tiziganiza, monga mwa mphamvu ya kuchita mwa ife,

Pakuti Ine Yehova Mulungu wako ndidzagwira dzanja lako lamanja, ndi kunena kwa iwe, Usaope ndidzakuthandiza iwe.

Koma chipulumutso cha olungama chidzera kwa Yehova, Iye ndiye mphamvu yao m'nyengo ya nsautso.

Ndipo Ine ndizipatsa moyo wosatha; ndipo sizidzaonongeka kunthawi yonse, ndipo palibe munthu adzazikwatula m'dzanja langa.

Ndiye chifundo changa, ndi linga langa, msanje wanga, ndi Mpulumutsi wanga; chikopa changa, ndi Iye amene ndimtama; amene andigonjetsera anthu anga.

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

Chifukwa chake musadere nkhawa za mawa; pakuti mawa adzadzidera nkhawa iwo okha. Zikwanire tsiku zovuta zake.

Pondichulukira zolingalira zanga m'kati mwanga, zotonthoza zanu zikondweretsa moyo wanga.

Dikirani, chilimikani m'chikhulupiriro, dzikhalitseni amuna, limbikani.

Ukagona, sudzachita mantha; udzagona tulo tokondweretsa.

Pakuti munakhala pothawirapo panga; nsanja yolimba pothawa mdani ine.

Ndipo kudzakhala chilimbiko m'nthawi zako, chipulumutso chambiri, nzeru ndi kudziwa; kuopa kwa Yehova ndiko chuma chake.

Mwa ichi mudzitengere zida zonse za Mulungu, kuti mudzakhoza kuima chitsutsire pofika tsiku loipa, ndipo, mutachita zonse, mudzachilimika.

Moyo wathu walindira Yehova; Iye ndiye thandizo lathu ndi chikopa chathu.

Yehova Mulungu wanu wakutsogolera inu, Iye adzathirira inu nkhondo, monga mwa zonse anakuchitirani m'Ejipito pamaso panu;

tigwiritse chivomerezo chosagwedera cha chiyembekezo chathu, pakuti wolonjezayo ali wokhulupirika;

Pakuti Inu, Yehova, mudzadalitsa wolungamayo; mudzamtchinjiriza nacho chivomerezo ngati chikopa.

Zinthu izi ndalankhula ndi inu, kuti mwa Ine mukakhale nao mtendere. M'dziko lapansi mudzakhala nacho chivuto, koma limbikani mtima; ndalingonjetsa dziko lapansi Ine.

Wakuopa Yehova akhulupirira kolimba; ndipo ana ake adzakhala ndi pothawirapo.

Kuthawira kwa Yehova nkokoma koposa kukhulupirira munthu.

Ndipo Mulungu wa chiyembekezo adzaze inu ndi chimwemwe chonse ndi mtendere m'kukhulupirira, kuti mukachuluke ndi chiyembekezo, mu mphamvu ya Mzimu Woyera.

Ndipo Ambuye wa mtendere yekha atipatse ife mtendere nthawi zonse, monsemo. Ambuye akhale ndi inu nonse.

Popeza andikondadi ndidzampulumutsa; ndidzamkweza m'mwamba, popeza adziwa dzina langa.

Ndikhoza zonse mwa Iye wondipatsa mphamvuyo.

Umsenze Yehova nkhawa zako, ndipo Iye adzakugwiriziza, nthawi zonse sadzalola wolungama agwedezeke.

Chotsalira, tadzilimbikani mwa Ambuye, ndi m'kulimba kwa mphamvu yake. Tavalani zida zonse za Mulungu, kuti mudzakhoze kuchilimika pokana machenjerero a mdierekezi.

Pakuti adzalamulira angelo ake za iwe, akusunge m'njira zako zonse. Adzakunyamula pa manja ao, ungagunde phazi lako pamwala.

Ndipo tidzatani ndi zinthu izi? Ngati Mulungu ali ndi ife, adzatikaniza ndani?

koma iwo amene alindira Yehova adzatenganso mphamvu; adzauluka pamwamba ndi mapiko monga ziombankhanga; adzathamanga koma osalema; adzayenda koma osalefuka.

Yehova ndiye kuunika kwanga ndi chipulumutso changa; ndidzaopa yani? Yehova ndiye mphamvu ya moyo wanga; ndidzachita mantha ndi yani?

chilichonse mukachichita, gwirani ntchito mochokera mumtima, monga kwa Ambuye, osati kwa anthu ai;

Sadzaopa mbiri yoipa; mtima wake ngwokhazika, wokhulupirira Yehova.

Mudzakhala odala polowa inu, mudzakhala odala potuluka inu.

Dzina la Yehova ndilo nsanja yolimba; wolungama athamangiramo napulumuka.

ndi kutaya pa Iye nkhawa yanu yonse, pakuti Iye asamalira inu.

Yehova akhazikitsa mayendedwe a munthu; ndipo akondwera nayo njira yake. Angakhale akagwa, satayikiratu, pakuti Yehova agwira dzanja lake.

Khalani amphamvu, limbikani mitima, musamachita mantha, kapena kuopsedwa chifukwa cha iwowa; popeza Yehova Mulungu wanu ndiye amene amuka nanu; Iye sadzakusowani, kapena kukusiyani.

Mngelo wa Yehova azinga kuwatchinjiriza iwo akuopa Iye, nawalanditsa iwo.

Yehova adzakugwirirani nkhondo, ndipo inu mudzakhala chete.

Kodi sindinakulamulira iwe? Khala wamphamvu, nulimbike mtima, usaope, kapena kutenga nkhawa, pakuti Yehova Mulungu wako ali ndi iwe kulikonse umukako.

Mulungu ndiye pothawirapo pathu ndi mphamvu yathu, thandizo lopezekeratu m'masautso.

Pakuti Mulungu sanatipatsa mzimu wa mantha; komatu wa mphamvu ndi chikondi ndi chidziletso.

Khulupirira Yehova ndi mtima wako wonse, osachirikizika pa luntha lako; umlemekeze m'njira zako zonse, ndipo Iye adzaongola mayendedwe ako.

Palibe chida chosulidwira iwe chidzapindula; ndipo lilime lonse limene lidzakangana nawe m'chiweruzo udzalitsutsa. Ichi ndi cholowa cha atumiki a Yehova, ndi chilungamo chao chimene chifuma kwa Ine, ati Yehova.

Chifukwa chake mungakhale mudya, mungakhale mumwa, mungakhale muchita kanthu kena, chitani zonse ku ulemerero wa Mulungu.

Adzakufungatira ndi nthenga zake, ndipo udzathawira kunsi kwa mapiko ake; choonadi chake ndicho chikopa chotchinjiriza.

Mtima wanu ukhale wosakonda chuma; zimene muli nazo zikukwanireni; pakuti Iye anati, Sindidzakusiya konse, kungakhale kukutaya, sindidzakutaya ndithu. Kotero kuti tinena molimbika mtima, Mthandizi wanga ndiye Ambuye; sindidzaopa; adzandichitira chiyani munthu?

Taonani, Mulungu ndiye chipulumutso changa; ndidzakhulupirira, sindidzaopa; pakuti Yehova Mwini ndiye mphamvu yanga ndi nyimbo yanga, Iye ndiye chipulumutso changa.

Tsiku lakuopa ine, ndidzakhulupirira Inu.

Mtendere ndikusiyirani inu, mtendere wanga ndikupatsani; Ine sindikupatsani inu monga dziko lapansi lipatsa. Mtima wanu usavutike, kapena usachite mantha.

Ndipo ananena kwa ine, Chisomo changa chikukwanira; pakuti mphamvu yanga ithedwa m'ufooko. Chifukwa chake makamaka ndidzadzitamandira mokondweratu m'mafooko anga, kuti mphamvu ya Khristu ikhale pa ine.

Palibe vuto lidzagwera wolungama; koma amphulupulu adzadzazidwa ndi zoipa.

Wodala munthu amene akhulupirira Yehova, amene chikhulupiriro chake ndi Yehova. Ndipo adzakhala ngati mtengo wooka kuli madzi, wotambalitsa mizu yake pamtsinje, wosaopa pofika nyengo yadzuwa, koma tsamba lake likhala laliwiri; ndipo suvutika chaka cha chilala, suleka kubala zipatso.

Potero tilimbike mtima poyandikira mpando wachifumu wachisomo, kuti tilandire chifundo ndi kupeza chisomo cha kutithandiza nthawi yakusowa.

Sadzalola phazi lako literereke: Iye amene akusunga sadzaodzera.

pakuti Yehova Mulungu wanu ndiye wakumuka nanu, kugwirira inu pa adani anu, kukupulumutsani.

Pakuti maso a Yehova ayang'ana uko ndi uko m'dziko lonse lapansi, kudzionetsera wamphamvu kwa iwo amene mtima wao uli wangwiro ndi Iye. Mwachita chopusa m'menemo; pakuti kuyambira tsopano mudzaona nkhondo.

Sudzaopa choopsa cha usiku, kapena muvi wopita usana; kapena mliri woyenda mumdima, kapena chionongeko chakuthera usana.

Wakuitana inu ali wokhulupirika, amenenso adzachichita.

Mtima wa munthu ulingalira njira yake; koma Yehova ayendetsa mapazi ake.

Pamene udulitsa pamadzi ndili pamodzi ndi iwe; ndi pooloka mitsinje sidzakukokolola; pakupyola pamoto sudzapsa; ngakhale lawi silidzakutentha.

Ndipo Inu Yehova, ndinu chikopa changa; ulemerero wanga, ndi wondiweramutsa mutu wanga.

Koma muthange mwafuna Ufumu wake ndi chilungamo chake, ndipo zonse zimenezo zidzaonjezedwa kwa inu.

Madalitso a Yehova alemeretsa, saonjezerapo chisoni.

Musadere nkhawa konse; komatu m'zonse ndi pemphero, ndi pembedzero, pamodzi ndi chiyamiko, zopempha zanu zidziwike kwa Mulungu. Ndipo mtendere wa Mulungu wakupambana chidziwitso chonse, udzasunga mitima yanu ndi maganizo anu mwa Khristu Yesu.

Ndikweza maso anga kumapiri: Thandizo langa lidzera kuti? Thandizo langa lidzera kwa Yehova, wakulenga zakumwamba ndi dziko lapansi.

Taona, ndituma mthenga akutsogolere, kukusunga panjira, ndi kukufikitsa pamaso pomwe ndakonzeratu.

Ndingakhale ndiyenda pakati pa nsautso, mudzandipatsa moyo; mudzatambasula dzanja lanu pa mkwiyo wa adani anu, ndipo dzanja lanu lamanja lidzandipulumutsa.

Pakuti atero Ambuye, Yehova Woyera wa Israele, M'kubwera ndi m'kupuma inu mudzapulumutsidwa; m'kukhala chete ndi m'kukhulupirira mudzakhala mphamvu yanu; ndipo simunafuna.

Pemphero kwa Mulungu
