107 Mau a m'Baibulo Okhudza Ndalama

Nthaŵi zina, mavuto amatilimbira, makamaka pankhani ya zachuma. Ambiri a ife tikukhala m’maiko omwe ndalama ndi zofunika kwambiri kuti tipeze zosowa zathu za tsiku ndi tsiku. Komabe, monga ana a Mulungu, tizipereka mavuto athu, kuphatikizapo azachuma, kwa Mulungu m’Malemba Opatulika, pakuti ndi momokhamo momwe Ambuye amatipatsa mayankho omwe tikufuna.

Tiyeni tipemphere kuti mawu a Mulungu atitsogolere njira yathu ndipo akhale nyale ya mapazi athu. “Mulungu ndiye pothawirapo pathu ndi mphamvu yathu, thandizo lopezeka mosavuta m’masautso. Chifukwa chake sitidzachita mantha, ngakhale dziko litasweka, ndipo mapiri atagwera m’nyanja.” (Salmo 46:1-2)

mwa nzeru zako ndi luntha lako wadzionerera chuma, wadzionereranso golide ndi siliva mwa chuma chako;

Sindinasirira siliva, kapena golide, kapena chovala cha munthu aliyense.

golide, ndi siliva, ndi mkuwa, ndi chitsulo, nzosawerengeka; nyamuka, nuchite, Yehova akhale nawe.

Chipatso changa chiposa golide, ngakhale golide woyengeka; phindu langa liposa siliva wosankhika.

Musadzitengere ndalama zagolide, kapena zasiliva, kapena zakobiri m'malamba mwanu;

Abwera ndi siliva wa ku Tarisisi, wosulasula wopyapyala ndi golide wa ku Ufazi, ntchito ya mmisiri ndi manja a woyenga; zovala zao ndi nsalu ya madzi ndi yofiirira; zonsezi ndi ntchito za muomba.

Ndipo Abramu anali wolemera ndithu ndi ng'ombe ndi siliva ndi golide.

Mau oyenera a pa nthawi yake akunga zipatso zagolide m'nsengwa zasiliva.

Kodi kulandira nzeru sikupambana ndi golide, kulandira luntha ndi kusankhika koposa siliva?

Kwa Sara ndipo anati, Taona, ndapatsa mlongo wako ndalama zasiliva mazana khumi; taona, izo ndizo zoyeretsa maso za kwa onse amene ali ndi iwe: ndi pamaso pa onse ukhale wolungama.

Adzataya siliva wao kumakwalala, nadzayesa golide wao chinthu chodetsedwa; siliva wao ndi golide wao sadzakhoza kuwalanditsa tsiku la mkwiyo wa Yehova, sadzakwaniritsa moyo wao, kapena kudzaza matumbo ao; pakuti izi ndi chokhumudwitsa cha mphulupulu zao.

Ndi gawo lachitatulo ndidzalitengera kumoto, ndi kuwayenga ngati ayenga siliva, ndi kuwayesa monga ayesa golide; adzaitana dzina langa, ndipo ndidzawamvera; ndidzati, Awa ndi anthu anga; ndi iwo adzati, Yehova ndi Mulungu wanga.

Mfumu, mundimvere ine; kadziko ka mtengo wake wa masekeli a siliva mazana anai, ndiko chiyani pakati pa ine ndi inu? Ikani wakufa wanu. Ndipo Abrahamu anamvera Efuroni, ndipo Abrahamu anamuyesera Efuroni ndalama zimene ananena alinkumva ana a Hiti, masekeli a siliva mazana anai, ndalama zomwezo agulana nazo malonda.

Yehova wamdalitsa mbuyanga kwambiri; ndipo analemera kwakulukulu; ndipo anampatsa iye nkhosa ndi ng'ombe, ndi siliva ndi golide, ndi akapolo ndi adzakazi, ndi ngamira ndi abulu.

Ndipo anapita pamenepo Amidiyani a malonda: ndipo anamtulutsa namkweza Yosefe m'dzenjemo, namgulitsa kwa Aismaele ndi masekeli a siliva makumi awiri; ndipo ananka naye Yosefe ku Ejipito.

Ndipo Yosefe analamulira kuti adzaze zotengera zao ndi tirigu, ndi kubweza ndalama zao, aliyense m'thumba mwake, ndi kuwapatsa phoso la panjira; ndipo anatero nao.

Taonani, ndalama zija, tinazipeza kukamwa kwa matumba athu, tinazibwezanso kwa inu kutuluka m'dziko la Kanani; nanga bwanji tingabe m'nyumba ya mbuyanga kapena siliva kapena golide?

koma mkazi yense adzafunse mnzake, ndi mlendo wokhala m'nyumba mwake, ampatse zokometsera zasiliva, ndi zokometsera zagolide, ndi zovala; ndipo mudzaveke nazo ana anu aamuna ndi aakazi; ndipo mudzafunkhe za Aejipito.

Lankhula tsopano m'makutu a anthu, kuti mwamuna yense apemphe kwa mnzake, ndi mkazi yense kwa mnzake, zokometsera zasiliva ndi zagolide.

Ndipo ana a Israele anachita monga mwa mau a Mose; napempha Aejipito zokometsera zasiliva, ndi zagolide, ndi zovala. Ndipo Yehova anapatsa anthu chisomo pamaso pa Aejipito, ndipo sanawakanize. Ndipo anawafunkhira Aejipito.

Musapange milungu yasiliva ikhale pamodzi ndi Ine; musadzipangire milungu yagolide.

Ng'ombeyo ikatunga mnyamata kapena mdzakazi, azipatsa mbuye wake ndalama za masekeli a siliva makumi atatu, ndipo ng'ombeyo aiponye miyala.

Atate wake akakana konse kumpatsa iye, alipe ndalama monga mwa cholipa cha anamwali.

Ndipo choperekacho uchilandire kwa iwo ndi ichi: golide, ndi siliva, ndi mkuwa,

Nuzipanga makamwa makumi anai asiliva pansi pa matabwa makumi awiri; makamwa awiri pansi pa thabwa limodzi kwa mitsukwa yake iwiri, ndi makamwa awiri pansi pa thabwa lina kwa mitsukwa yake iwiri;

Ndipo uzilandira ndalama za choteteza kwa ana a Israele, ndi kuzipereka pa ntchito ya chihema chokomanako; kuti zikhale chikumbutso cha ana a Israele pamaso pa Yehova, kuchita choteteza cha miyoyo yanu.

Mumtengere Yehova chopereka cha mwa zanu; aliyense wa mtima womfunitsa mwini abwere nacho, ndicho chopereka cha Yehova; golide, ndi siliva, ndi mkuwa;

napanga makamwa makumi anai asiliva pansi pa matabwa makumi awiri; makamwa awiri pansi pa thabwa limodzi kwa mitsukwa yake iwiri, ndi makamwa awiri pansi pa thabwa lina kwa mitsukwa yake iwiri.

Munthu akachita mosakhulupirika, nakachimwa osati dala, pa zopatulika za Yehova, azidza nayo nsembe yake yopalamula kwa Yehova, ndiyo nkhosa yamphongo yopanda chilema, ya m'gulu lake, monga umayesa mtengo wake potchula masekeli a siliva, kunena sekeli wa malo opatulika, ikhale nsembe yopalamula;

Koma wansembe atakagula munthu ndi ndalama zake, iyeyu adyeko; ndi iwo amene anabadwa m'nyumba yake, adyeko mkate wake.

Ukayesa wamwamuna wa zaka makumi awiri kufikira wina wa zaka makumi asanu ndi limodzi, uziwayesera a masekeli makumi asanu a siliva, monga mwa sekeli wa malo opatulika.

Munthu akapatulirako Yehova munda wakewake, uziuyesa monga mwa mbeu zake zikakhala; homeri wa barele uuyese wa masekeli makumi asanu a siliva.

Ndipo kuyesa kwako konse kukhale monga mwa sekeli wa malo opatulika sekeli ndi magera makumi awiri.

analandira ndalamazo kwa oyamba kubadwa a ana a Israele; masekeli chikwi chimodzi mphambu mazana atatu kudza makumi asanu ndi limodzi mphambu asanu, kuyesa sekeli wa malo opatulika.

chopereka chake ndicho mbale imodzi yasiliva, kulemera kwake ndiko masekeli zana limodzi ndi makumi atatu, mbale yowazira imodzi yasiliva ya masekeli makumi asanu ndi awiri, kuyesa sekeli wa malo opatulika; zonse ziwirizo zodzala ndi ufa wosalala wosakaniza ndi mafuta ukhale nsembe yaufa;

Ndipo zimene ziti zidzaomboledwa uziombole kuyambira za mwezi umodzi, monga mwa kuyesa kwako, pa ndalama za masekeli asanu, kuyesa sekeli wa malo opatulika, ndiwo magera makumi awiri.

Golide, ndi siliva, mkuwa, chitsulo, ndolo ndi mtovu zokha,

Mafano osema a milungu yao muwatenthe ndi moto; musamasirira siliva ndi golide zili pa iwo, kapena kudzitengera izi; mungakodwe nazo; pakuti izi zinyansira Yehova Mulungu wanu.

ndipo zitachuluka ng'ombe zanu, ndi nkhosa zanu, atachulukanso siliva wanu ndi golide wanu, zitachulukanso zonse muli nazo;

Koma mukumbukire Yehova Mulungu wanu, popeza ndi Iyeyu wakupatsani mphamvu yakuonera chuma; kuti akhazikitse chipangano chake chimene analumbirira makolo anu, monga chikhala lero lino.

Ndipo asadzichulukitsire akazi, kuti ungapatuke mtima wake; kapena asadzichulukitsire kwambiri siliva ndi golide.

ndi kumlipitsa masekeli makumi okhaokha khumi a siliva, ndi kuipereka kwa atate wa namwaliyo, popeza anamveketsa dzina loipa namwali wa Israele, ndipo azikhala mkazi wake, sangathe kumchotsa masiku ake onse.

Musamakongoletsa mbale wanu mopindulitsa; phindu la ndalama, phindu la chakudya, phindu la kanthu kalikonse kokongoletsa. Mwana wa m'chigololo asalowe m'msonkhano wa Yehova, ngakhale mbadwo wake wakhumi usalowe m'msonkhano wa Yehova. Mukongoletse mlendo mopindulitsa; koma mbale wanu musamamkongoletsa mopindulitsa, kuti Yehova Mulungu wanu akudalitseni mwa zonse muzigwira ndi dzanja lanu, m'dziko limene mulowamo kulilandira.

Musamakhala nayo m'thumba mwanu miyala ya miyeso iwiri, waukulu ndi waung'ono. Musamakhala nayo m'nyumba yanu miyeso ya efa yosiyana, waukulu ndi waung'ono. Muzikhala nao mwala wa muyeso wofikira ndi woyenera; mukhale nao muyeso wa efa wofikira ndi woyenera; kuti masiku anu achuluke m'dziko limene Yehova Mulungu wanu akupatsani.

Koma siliva yense, ndi golide yense, ndi zotengera za mkuwa ndi chitsulo zikhala chopatulikira Yehova; zilowe m'mosungira chuma cha Yehova.

pamene ndinaona pazofunkha malaya abwino a ku Babiloni, ndi masekeli mazana awiri a siliva, ndi chikute chagolide, kulemera kwake masekeli makumi asanu, ndinazikhumbira ndi kuzitenga; ndipo taonani, ndazibisa m'nthaka pakati pa hema wanga, ndi siliva pansi pakepo.

Ndipo iye anati kwa amai wake, Ndalama zija mazana khumi ndi limodzi anakuberani zimene munatembererapo, ndi kunenanso m'makutu mwanga, taonani ndalamazo ndili nazo, ndinazitenga ndine. Pamenepo amai wake anati, Yehova adalitse mwana wanga. Nabwezera amake ndalama zija mazana khumi ndi limodzi; nati amai wake, Kupatula ndapatulira Yehova ndalamazo zichoke ku dzanja langa, zimuke kwa mwana wanga, kupanga nazo fano losema ndi fano loyenga; m'mwemo ndikubwezera izi. Ndipo pamene anambwezera mai wake ndalamazo, mai wake anatapako ndalama mazana awiri, nazipereka kwa woyenga, ndiye anazipanga fano losema ndi fano loyenga; ndipo linakhala m'nyumba ya Mika.

Ndipo kudzali kuti yense wakusiyidwa wa m'banja lako adzabwera kwa iye nadzawerama ndi kupempha ndalama ndi chakudya, nadzati, Mundipatsetu ntchito ina ya wansembe, kuti ndikaone kakudya.

Ndipo mnyamatayo anayankhanso kwa Saulo nati, Onani m'dzanja langa muli limodzi la magawo anai a sekeli wa siliva; ndidzampatsa munthu wa Mulungu limeneli kuti atiuze njira yathu.

Toi anatumiza mwana wake Yoramu kwa mfumu Davide, kuti akamlonjere ndi kumdalitsa, popeza anamenyana ndi Hadadezere ndi kumkantha; pakuti pakati pa Hadadezere ndi Toi panali nkhondo. Ndipo Yoramu anabwera ndi zotengera zasiliva, ndi zotengera zagolide, ndi zotengera zamkuwa. Izi zomwe mfumu Davide anazipatula zikhale za Yehova, pamodzi ndi siliva ndi golide anapatulako za amitundu onse adawagonjetsa;

Motero ntchito zonse zinatsirizika, zimene mfumu Solomoni anachitira nyumba ya Yehova. Ndipo Solomoni analonga zinthu adazipatula Davide atate wake, ndizo siliva ndi golide ndi zipangizo zomwe naziika mosungira chuma cha nyumba ya Yehova.

Ndipo zikho zomwera zonse za mfumu Solomoni zinali zagolide, ndi zotengera zonse za nyumba yotchedwa Nkhalango ya Lebanoni zinali zagolide yekhayekha, panalibe zasiliva, pakuti siliva anangoyesedwa opanda pake masiku onse a Solomoni.

Tsono Asa anatenga siliva yense ndi golide yense anatsala pa chuma cha nyumba ya Yehova, ndi chuma chili m'nyumba ya Yehova chuma chili m'nyumba ya mfumu, nazipereka m'manja mwa anyamata ake; ndipo mfumu Asa anazitumiza kwa Benihadadi mwana wa Tabirimoni, mwana wa Heziyoni mfumu ya Aramu, wakukhala ku Damasiko, nati,

Pamenepo mfumu ya Aramu inati, Tiye, muka, ndidzatumiza kalata kwa mfumu ya Israele. Pamenepo anachoka, atatenga siliva matalente khumi, ndi golide masekeli zikwi zisanu ndi chimodzi, ndi zovala zakusintha khumi.

Koma sanapangire nyumba ya Yehova mbale zasiliva, mbano, mbale zowazira, malipenga, zotengera zilizonse zagolide, kapena zotengera zilizonse zasiliva, kuzipanga ndi ndalama adabwera nazo kunyumba ya Yehova; pakuti anazipereka kwa iwo akugwira ntchitoyi, nakonza nazo nyumba ya Yehova. Ndipo sanawerengere anthu, amene anapereka ndalamazi m'manja mwao kuti apatse ogwira ntchito; popeza anachita mokhulupirika.

Pamenepo Pulo mfumu ya Asiriya anadza kudzamenyana ndi dziko, koma Menahemu anampatsa Pulo matalente a siliva chikwi chimodzi; kuti dzanja lake likhale naye kukhazikitsa ufumu m'dzanja lake. Anali wa zaka khumi ndi zisanu ndi chimodzi polowa ufumu wake, nakhala mfumu zaka makumi asanu mphambu ziwiri mu Yerusalemu; ndi dzina la make ndiye Yekoliya wa ku Yerusalemu. Ndipo Menahemu anasonkhetsa Israele ndalamazi, nasonkhetsa achuma, yense masekeli makumi asanu a siliva, kuti azipereke kwa mfumu ya Asiriya. Nabwerera mfumu ya Asiriya osakhala m'dzikomo.

Kwera kwa Hilikiya mkulu wa ansembe, awerenge ndalama zimene anthu anabwera nazo kunyumba ya Yehova,

anatumiza Hadoramu mwana wake kwa mfumu Davide, kumlonjera ndi kumdalitsa, popeza adayambana ndi Hadadezere, namkantha; pakuti Hadadezere adachita nkhondo ndi Tou; ndipo anali nazo zipangizo za mitundumitundu za golide ndi siliva ndi mkuwa. Izi zomwe mfumu Davide anazipatulira Yehova, pamodzi ndi siliva ndi golide adazitenga kwa amitundu onse, kwa Edomu, ndi kwa Mowabu, ndi kwa ana a Amoni, ndi kwa Afilisti, ndi kwa Amaleke.

Ndi mphamvu yanga yonse tsono ndakonzeratu nyumba ya Mulungu wanga, golide wa zija zagolide ndi siliva wa zija zasiliva, ndi mkuwa wa zija zamkuwa, chitsulo cha zija zachitsulo, ndi mtengo wa zija zamtengo, miyala yaberulo, ndi miyala yoikika, miyala yokometsera, ndi ya mawangamawanga, ndi miyala ya mtengo wake ya mitundumitundu ndi miyala yansangalabwe yochuluka. Ndipo Davide anati kwa khamu lonse, Mulemekeze tsono Yehova Mulungu wanu. Ndi khamu lonse linalemekeza Yehova Mulungu wa makolo ao, nawerama, nalambira Yehova, ndi mfumu. Ndipo anamphera Yehova nsembe, napereka nsembe zopsereza kwa Yehova m'mawa mwake mwa tsiku lija, ndizo ng'ombe chikwi chimodzi, nkhosa zamphongo chikwi chimodzi, ndi anaankhosa chikwi chimodzi, pamodzi ndi nsembe zao zothira, ndi nsembe zochuluka za Aisraele onse: nadya namwa pamaso pa Mulungu tsiku lomwelo ndi chimwemwe chachikulu. Ndipo analonga ufumu Solomoni mwana wa Davide kachiwiri, namdzozera Yehova akhale kalonga, ndi Zadoki akhale wansembe. Momwemo Solomoni anakhala pa mpando wachifumu wa Yehova, ndiye mfumu m'malo mwa Davide atate wake, nalemerera, namvera iye Aisraele onse. Ndi akulu onse, ndi amuna amphamvu onse, ndi ana aamuna onse omwe a mfumu Davide, anagonjeratu kwa Solomoni mfumu. Ndipo Yehova anakuza Solomoni kwakukulu pamaso pa Aisraele onse, nampatsa ulemerero wachifumu, wakuti, asanakhale iyeyu, panalibe mfumu ya Israele inali nao wotero. Momwemo Davide mwana wa Yese adakhala mfumu ya Aisraele onse. Ndipo nthawi yoti anakhala mfumu ya Israele ndiyo zaka makumi anai; zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri anakhala mfumu mu Hebroni, ndi zaka makumi atatu anakhala mfumu mu Yerusalemu. Nafa atakalamba bwino, wochuluka masiku, zolemera, ndi ulemerero; ndi Solomoni mwana wake anakhala mfumu m'malo mwake. Zochita mfumu Davide tsono, zoyamba ndi zotsiriza, taonani, zalembedwa m'buku la mau a Samuele mlauli, ndi m'buku la mau a Natani mneneri, ndi m'buku la mau a Gadi mlauli; Ndiponso popeza ndikondwera nayo nyumba ya Mulungu wanga, chuma changachanga cha golide ndi siliva ndili nacho ndichipereka kunyumba ya Mulungu wanga, moonjezera ndi zonse ndazikonzeratu nyumba yopatulikayo; pamodzi ndi za ufumu wake wonse, ndi mphamvu yake, ndi za nthawizo zidampitira iye, ndi Israele, ndi maufumu onse a maiko. ndicho matalente zikwi zitatu za golide, golide wa Ofiri; ndi matalente zikwi zisanu ndi ziwiri a siliva woyengetsa, kumamatiza nazo makoma a nyumbazi; golide wa zija zagolide, ndi siliva wa zija zasiliva, ndi za ntchito zilizonse akuzipanga manja a amisiri. Ndani uyo afuna mwini kudzipatulira kwa Yehova lero lino? Pamenepo akulu a nyumba za makolo, ndi akulu a mafuko a Israele, ndi akulu a zikwi ndi a mazana pamodzi ndi iwo oyang'anira ntchito ya mfumu, anapereka mwaufulu, napereka ku utumiki wa nyumba ya Mulungu golide matalente zikwi zisanu, ndi madariki zikwi khumi; ndi siliva matalente zikwi khumi, ndi mkuwa matalente zikwi khumi mphambu zisanu ndi zitatu, ndi chitsulo matalente zikwi zana limodzi.

Ndipo mfumu inatero kuti siliva ndi golide zikhale mu Yerusalemu ngati miyala, ndi kuti mikungudza ichuluke ngati mikuyu yokhala kuchidikha.

osawerenga uja anabwera naye amalonda oyendayenda, ndi amalonda ena; ndipo mafumu onse a Arabiya, ndi akazembe a dziko, anadza naye golide ndi siliva kwa Solomoni.

Ndipo ataitsiriza, anabwera nazo ndalama zotsala kwa mfumu ndi Yehoyada, napanga nazo zipangizo za nyumba ya Yehova, zipangizo za kutumikira nazo, ndi kupereka nsembe nazo, ndi zipande, ndi zipangizo za golide ndi siliva. Ndipo anapereka kosalekeza nsembe zopsereza m'nyumba ya Yehova masiku onse a Yehoyada.

Ndipo aliyense wotsala pamalo paliponse agonerapo iye, anthu a kumalo kwake amthandize ndi siliva, ndi golide, ndi zoweta, ndi chuma, pamodzi ndi nsembe yaufulu ya kwa nyumba ya Mulungu ili ku Yerusalemu.

ndi kumuka nazo siliva ndi golide, zimene mfumu ndi aphungu ake, anapereka mwaufulu kwa Mulungu wa Israele, mokhala mwake muli mu Yerusalemu, pamodzi ndi siliva ndi golide zilizonse ukazipeza m'dziko lonse la ku Babiloni, pamodzi ndi chopereka chaufulu cha anthu, ndi cha ansembe, akuperekera mwaufulu nyumba ya Mulungu wao ili ku Yerusalemu;

Abwezereni lero lomwe minda yao, minda yao yampesa, minda yao ya azitona, ndi nyumba zao, ndi limodzi la magawo zana limodzi la ndalama, ndi tirigu, vinyo, ndi mafuta, limene muwalipitsa.

Ndipo ena a akulu a nyumba za makolo anapereka kuntchito. Kazembeyo anapereka kuchuma madariki agolide chikwi chimodzi, mbale zowazira makumi asanu, malaya a ansembe makumi atatu. Enanso a akulu a nyumba za makolo anapereka kuchuma cha ntchitoyi, madariki agolide zikwi makumi awiri, ndi miyeso ya siliva zikwi ziwiri mphambu mazana awiri.

Chikakomera mfumu, chilembedwe kuti aonongeke iwo; ndipo ndidzapereka matalente a siliva zikwi khumi m'manja a iwo akusunga ntchito ya mfumu, abwere nao kuwaika m'nyumba za chuma cha mfumu.

Ndipo Wamphamvuyonse adzakhala chuma chako, ndi ndalama zako zofunika.

Chinkana akundika ndalama ngati fumbi, ndi kukonzeratu zovala ngati dothi; azikonzeretu, koma wolungama adzazivala, ndi wosalakwa adzagawa ndalamazo.

Koma kuli mtapo wa siliva, ndi malo a golide amene amuyenga.

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

Pakuti munatiyesera, Mulungu, munatiyenga monga ayenga siliva.

Chilamulo cha pakamwa panu chindikomera koposa golide ndi siliva zikwizikwi.

ukaifunafuna ngati siliva, ndi kuipwaira ngati chuma chobisika;

pakuti malonda a nzeru aposa malonda a siliva, phindu lake liposa golide woyengeka.

Landirani mwambo wanga, si siliva ai; ndi nzeru kopambana ndi golide wosankhika. Pakuti nzeru iposa ngale, ndi zonse tizifunitsa sizilingana nayo.

Lilime la wolungama likunga siliva wosankhika; koma mtima wa oipa uli wachabe.

Siliva ali ndi mbiya yosungunulira, golide ali ndi ng'anjo; koma Yehova ayesa mitima.

Mbiri yabwino ifunika kopambana chuma chambiri; kukukomera mtima anzako kuposa siliva ndi golide.

Chotsera siliva mphala yake, mmisiri wa ng'anjo atulutsamo mbale.

Siliva asungunuka m'mbiya, ndi golide m'ng'anjo, motero chomwe munthu achitama adziwika nacho.

ndinakundikanso siliva ndi golide ndi chuma cha mafumu ndi madera a dziko; ndinaitanitsa amuna ndi akazi akuimba ndi zokondweretsazo za ana a anthu, ndizo zoimbira za mitundumitundu.

Wokonda siliva sadzakhuta siliva; ngakhale wokonda chuma sadzakhuta phindu; ichinso ndi chabe.

Siliva wako wasanduka mphala, vinyo wako wasakanizidwa ndi madzi.

Dziko lao ladzala siliva ndi golide, ngakhale chuma chao nchosawerengeka; dziko lao lidzalanso akavalo, ngakhale magaleta ao ngosawerengeka.

Taonani, ndidzawautsira Amedi, amene sadzasamalira siliva, ngakhale golide sadzakondwera naye.

Taona ndakuyenga, koma si monga siliva, ndakuyesa iwe m'ng'anjo ya masautso.

Bwanji inu mulikutayira ndalama chinthu chosadya, ndi kutayira malipiro anu zosakhutitsa? Mverani Ine mosamalitsa, nimudye chimene chili chabwino, moyo wanu nukondwere ndi zonona.

Anthu adzawatcha nthale ya siliva, pakuti Yehova wakana iwo.

Ha! Golide wagugadi; golide woona woposa wasandulika; miyala ya malo opatulika yakhuthulidwa pa malekezero a makwalala onse.

Unatenganso zokometsera zako zokoma za golide wanga ndi siliva wanga, zimene ndinakupatsa, ndi kudzipangira mafano a amuna, ndi kuchita nao chigololo.

Monga asonkhanitsa mtapo wa siliva, ndi mkuwa, ndi chitsulo, ndi ntovu, ndi seta, m'kati mwa ng'anjo, kuzivukutira moto, kuzisungunula momwemo, ndidzakusonkhanitsani mu mkwiyo wanga ndi ukali wanga, ndi kukuikani komweko, ndi kukusungunulani. Inde ndidzakusonkhanitsani, ndi kukuvukutirani ndi moto wa kuzaza kwanga, ndipo mudzasungunuka pakati pake. Monga siliva asungunuka m'kati mwa ng'anjo, momwemo inu mudzasungunuka m'kati mwake; motero mudzadziwa kuti Ine Yehova ndakutsanulirani ukali wanga.

Tarisisi anagulana nawe malonda m'kuchuluka kwa chuma chilichonse; anagula malonda ako ndi siliva ndi chitsulo, seta ndi ntovu.

Fano ili tsono, mutu wake unali wagolide wabwino, chifuwa chake ndi manja ake zasiliva, mimba yake ndi chuuno chake zamkuwa,

Koma kumalo kwake idzachitira ulemu mulungu wa malinga; ndi mulungu amene makolo ake sanaudziwe, adzaulemekeza ndi golide, ndi siliva, ndi miyala ya mtengo wake, ndi zinthu zofunika.

Pakuti sanadziwe kuti ndine ndinampatsa tirigu, ndi vinyo, ndi mafuta, ndi kumchulukitsira siliva ndi golide, zimene anapanga nazo Baala.

M'mwemo ndinadzigulira iye ndi masekeli khumi ndi asanu a siliva, ndi homeri ndi leteki wa barele;

Atero Yehova, Chifukwa cha zolakwa zitatu za Israele, kapena zinai, sindidzabweza kulanga kwake; popeza agulitsa wolungama ndi ndalama, ndi wosowa chifukwa cha nsapato;

kuti tigule osauka ndi ndalama, ndi aumphawi ndi nsapato, ndi kugulitsa nsadwa za tirigu.

Kodi ndikhoza kuyera ndi miyeso yoipa, ndi thumba la miyala yonyenga?

Siliva ndi wanga, golide ndi wanga, ati Yehova wa makamu.

Ndipo ndinanena nao, Chikakomera inu, ndipatseni mphotho yanga; ngati iai, lekani. Ndipo anayesa mphotho yanga, kulemera kwake masekeli a siliva makumi atatu. Ndipo Yehova anati kwa ine, Kaziponye kwa woumba mbiya, mtengo wake wokometsetsa anandiyesawo. Ndipo ndinatenga masekeli makumi atatu a siliva, ndi kuziponya kwa woumba mbiya, m'nyumba ya Yehova.

nati, Mufuna kundipatsa chiyani, ndipo ine ndidzampereka Iye kwa inu? Ndipo iwo anamwerengera iye ndalama zasiliva makumi atatu.

Pamenepo Yudasi yemwe anampereka Iye, poona kuti Iye anatsutsidwa kuti afe, analapa, nabweza ndalama zija zasiliva makumi atatu kwa ansembe aakulu ndi akulu, Namthira malovu, natenga bango, nampanda Iye pamutu. Ndipo pamene anatha kumchitira Iye chipongwe, anavula malaya aja, namveka Iye malaya ake, natsogoza Iye kukampachika pamtanda. Ndipo pakutuluka pao anapeza munthu wa ku Kirene, dzina lake Simoni, namkakamiza iye kuti anyamule mtanda wake. Ndipo pamene anadza kumalo dzina lake Gologota, ndiko kunena kuti, Malo a Bade, anamwetsa Iye vinyo wosakaniza ndi ndulu; ndipo Iye, m'mene analawa, sanafune kumwa. Ndipo pamene anampachika Iye, anagawana zovala zake ndi kulota maere: nakhala iwo pansi, namdikira kumeneko. Ndipo anaika pamwamba pamutu pake mlandu wake wolembedwa: UYU NDI YESU MFUMU YA AYUDA. Pamenepo anapachika pamodzi ndi Iye achifwamba awiri, mmodzi kudzanja lamanja, ndi wina kulamanzere. Ndipo anthu akupitirirapo anamchitira mwano Iye ndi kupukusa mitu yao, nanena, Ndinachita koipa ine, pakupereka mwazi wosalakwa. Koma iwo anati, Tili nacho chiyani ife? Udzionere wekha. nati, Nanga Iwe, wopasula Kachisi, ndi kummanganso masiku atatu, tadzipulumutsa wekha; ngati uli Mwana wa Mulungu, tatsika pamtandapo. Chomwechonso ansembe aakulu, pamodzi ndi alembi ndi akulu anamchitira chipongwe, nati, Anapulumutsa ena, sangathe kudzipulumutsa yekha. Ndiye mfumu ya Aisraele; atsike tsopano pamtandapo, ndipo tidzamkhulupirira Iye. Amakhulupirira Mulungu; Iye ampulumutse tsopano, ngati amfuna; pakuti anati, Ine ndine Mwana wa Mulungu. Ndiponso achifwambawo opachikidwa pamodzi ndi Iye, anamlalatira Iye mau amodzimodzi. Ndipo ora lachisanu ndi chimodzi panali mdima padziko lonse, kufikira ora lachisanu ndi chinai. Ndipo poyandikira ora lachisanu ndi chinai, Yesu anafuula ndi mau aakulu, kunena, Eli, Eli, lama sabakitani? ndiko kunena kuti, Mulungu wanga, Mulungu wanga, mwandisiyiranji Ine? Ndipo ena a iwo akuimirira komweko, pamene anamva, ananena, Uyo aitana Eliya. Ndipo pomwepa mmodzi wa iwo anathamanga, natenga chinkhupule, nachidzaza ndi vinyo wosasa, nachiika pabango, namwetsa Iye. Koma ena anati, Taleka, tione ngati Eliya adzafika kudzampulumutsa. Ndipo iye anataya pansi ndalamazo pa Kachisi, nachokapo, nadzipachika yekha pakhosi.

Koma Petro anati, Siliva ndi golide ndilibe; koma chimene ndili nacho, ichi ndikupatsa, M'dzina la Yesu Khristu Mnazarayo, yenda.

podziwa kuti simunaomboledwa ndi zovunda, golide ndi siliva, kusiyana nao makhalidwe anu achabe ochokera kwa makolo anu: koma ndi mwazi wa mtengo wake wapatali monga wa mwanawankhosa wopanda chilema, ndi wopanda banga, ndiwo mwazi wa Khristu:

malonda a golide, ndi a siliva, ndi a mwala wa mtengo wake, ndi a ngale, ndi a nsalu yabafuta, ndi a chibakuwa, ndi a yonyezimira, ndi a mlangali; ndi mitengo yonse ya fungo lokoma, ndi chotengera chilichonse cha minyanga ya njovu, ndi chotengera chilichonse chamtengo wa mtengo wake wapatali, ndi chamkuwa ndi chachitsulo, ndi chansangalabwi;

Pemphero kwa Mulungu
