110 Mau a m'Baibulo Okhudza Kudzichepetsa
Kuzindikira kufunika kwanga kwa Mulungu ndi chinthu chofunika kwambiri pa moyo wanga. Kukhala wodzichepetsa kumandithandiza kukhala pa mtendere ndi Mulungu komanso ndi anthu anzanga.
Baibulo, mu Yakobo 4:6, limati: "Mulungu amatsutsa odzikuza, koma amapatsa chisomo odzichepetsa." Munthu wodzikuza amaganiza kuti amadziwa zonse ndipo sadalire Mulungu. Koma chisomo cha Mulungu chimakhala pa ife amene timadziwa kuti timamuwafuna Iye.
Popanda Mulungu, sitingathe kuchita chilichonse. Mphamvu zake zimatithandiza kukwaniritsa zolinga zathu, ndipo chifukwa cha chikondi chake, maloto athu amakwaniritsidwa. Tiyenera kukhala odzichepetsa nthawi zonse.
Chilichonse chimene tili nacho ndi chifukwa cha chifundo cha Mulungu. Iye anatiyang'ana ndi maso achifundo ndipo anatisankha kutipatsa chisomo chake. Chifukwa cha ichi, tiyenera kumpatsa ulemerero wonse chifukwa cha kukoma mtima kwake ndi ukulu wake.
Mulungu ndi wabwino ndipo ali pafupi ndi anthu amene amadzichepetsa pamaso pake ndi kumufunafuna ndi mtima wonse.
Ngakhale Chauta ndi wamphamvu, amasamalira anthu otsika, koma anthu odzikuza amaŵadziŵira chapatali.
Koma amatikomera mtima koposa. Nchifukwa chake Malembo akuti, “Mulungu amatsutsa odzikuza, koma odzichepetsa amaŵakomera mtima.”
Musamachita kanthu ndi mtima wodzikonda, kapena wodzitukumula chabe. Koma khalani odzichepetsa, ndipo aliyense aziwona anzake kuti ngomuposa iyeyo.
Paja Chauta amakondwera ndi anthu ake, amaŵalemekeza anthu odzichepetsa poŵagonjetsera adani ao.
Inunso anyamata, muzimvera akulu. Ndipo nonsenu, khalani okonzeka kutumikirana modzichepetsa. Paja mau a Mulungu akuti. “Mulungu amatsutsa odzikuza, koma amaŵakomera mtima anthu odzichepetsa.” Nchifukwa chake mudzichepetse pamaso pa Mulungu wamphamvu, kuti pa nthaŵi yake adzakukwezeni.
Muzimvana bwino, ndipo musamadzikweze, koma muziyanjana nawo anthu wamba. Musamadziyese anzeru.
Kudzikongoletsa kwanu kusangokhala kwa maonekedwe akunja pakuluka tsitsi, ndi kuvala zamakaka zagolide ndi zovala zamtengowapatali. Koma kudzikongoletsa kwanu kukhale kwa moyo wam'kati, kukongola kosatha kwa mtima wofatsa ndi wachete. Moyo wotere ngwamtengowapatali pamaso pa Mulungu.
Popeza kuti mwa kukoma mtima kwake Mulungu adandiitana kuti ndikhale mtumwi, ndikukuuzani inu nonse kuti musadziyese anzeru koposa m'mene muliri. Makamaka maganizo anu akhale odzichepetsa, molingana ndi kukula kwa chikhulupiriro chimene Mulungu wapatsa aliyense mwa inu.
Popeza kuti mudasankhidwa ndi Mulungu kuti mukhale akeake, ndipo Iye amakukondani, muzikhala a mtima wachifundo, okoma mtima, odzichepetsa, ofatsa ndi odziŵa kupirira.
Nchifukwa chake mudzichepetse pamaso pa Mulungu wamphamvu, kuti pa nthaŵi yake adzakukwezeni.
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.”
Ndani mwa inu ali wanzeru ndi womvetsa zinthu? Aonetse ndi makhalidwe ake abwino kuti nzeru zimaongoleradi zochita zake zofatsa.
Mau otsiriza ndi aŵa: nonse mukhale a mtima umodzi, ndi omverana chisoni. Muzikondana nawo abale. Mukhale a mtima wachifundo ndi odzichepetsa.
Nchifukwa chake munthu wodzichepetsa ngati mwana uyu, ameneyo ndiye wamkulu mu Ufumu wakumwamba.
Kondwani kwambiri, inu anthu a ku Ziyoni. Fuulani kwambiri, inu anthu a ku Yerusalemu. Onani, mfumu yanu ikudza kwa inu. Ikubwera ili yopambana ndi yogonjetsa adani. Ndi yodzichepetsa ndipo yakwera pa bulu, bulu wake kamwana tsono.
Kuwopa Chauta kumaphunzitsa nzeru, ndipo ndi kudzichepetsa ndi ulemu, chili patsogolo nkudzichepetsa.
Zinthu zonsezi ndidazilenga ndine, tsono zonsezi nzanga,” akutero Chauta. “Anthu amene ndimakondwera nawo ndi aŵa: odzichepetsa ndi olapa, ondiwopa ndi omvera mau anga.
Chauta ndi wabwino ndi wolungama. Nchifukwa chake amaphunzitsa ochimwa njira zake. Amatsogolera anthu odzichepetsa kuti achite zolungama, amaŵaphunzitsa njira zake.
Funafunani Chauta, inu nonse odzichepetsa, inu amene mumamvera malamulo ake. Chitani zolungama, khalani odzichepetsa. Mwina mwake mudzatha kupulumuka pa tsiku la mkwiyo wa Chauta.
Musamachita kanthu ndi mtima wodzikonda, kapena wodzitukumula chabe. Koma khalani odzichepetsa, ndipo aliyense aziwona anzake kuti ngomuposa iyeyo. Chifukwa cha kugwira ntchito ya Khristu, iyeyu adaali pafupifupi kufa. Adaadzipereka osaopa ngakhale kutaya moyo wake kuti azindithandiza pa zimene inu simudathe kukwaniritsa pondithandiza. Musamangofuna zokomera inu nokha, koma zokomeranso anzanu.
Nchifukwa chake ine, womangidwa m'ndende chifukwa chotumikira Ambuye, ndikukupemphani kuti, chifukwa Mulungu adakuitanani, muziyenda moyenerana ndi kuitanidwako. Iye amene adaatsika, ndi yemweyo amene adakwera, nabzola Kumwamba konse, kuti zinthu zonse zikhale zodzaza ndi Iye. Iyeyu ndiye amene “adapereka mphatso kwa anthu.” Mphatso zake zinali zakuti ena akhale atumwi, ena aneneri, ena alaliki, ena abusa ndi aphunzitsi. Ntchito yao inali yakuti akonzeretu anthu a Mulungu kuti akagwire ntchito yotumikira, ndi kulimbitsa Mpingo umene uli thupi la Khristu. Motero potsiriza, tonse tidzafika ku umodzi umene umapezeka pakukhulupirira, ndiponso pakudziŵa Mwana wa Mulungu. Pamenepo tidzakhwima ndithu, ndi kufika pa msinkhu wathunthu wa Khristu. Sitidzakhalanso ngati ana akhanda ogwedezekagwedezeka ndi mafunde, ndiponso otengekatengeka ndi mphepo iliyonse ya zophunzitsa za anthu onyenga amene amasokeretsa anthu ndi kuchenjera kwao Kwenikwenitu pakulankhula zoona ndi mtima wachikondi, tizikula pa zonse mwa Khristu. Iye ndiye mutu, umene umalamula thupi lonse, ndi kulilumikiza pamodzi ndi mfundo zake zonse. Motero chiwalo chilichonse chimagwira ntchito yake moyenera, ndipo thupi lonse limakula ndi kudzilimbitsa ndi chikondi. Tsono m'dzina la Ambuye ndikukuuzani, ndipo ndikunenetsa, kuti musayendenso monga amachitira akunja potsata maganizo ao achabe. Nzeru zao zidachita chidima, sangalandire nao konse moyo wa Mulungu chifukwa cha umbuli umene udadza mwa iwo kaamba ka kuuma mtima kwao. Mitima yao idaludzulala ndipo adangodzipereka ku zonyansa, kuti azichita zoipa zilizonse mosadziletsa. Muzikhala odzichepetsa, ofatsa ndi opirira nthaŵi zonse. Muzilezerana mtima mwachikondi,
Iyai, Chauta adakuwonetsa kale, munthu iwe, chimene chili chabwino. Zimene akufuna kuti uzichita ndi izi: uzichita zolungama, uzikhala wachifundo, ndipo uziyenda modzichepetsa pamaso pa Mulungu wako.
Inunso anyamata, muzimvera akulu. Ndipo nonsenu, khalani okonzeka kutumikirana modzichepetsa. Paja mau a Mulungu akuti. “Mulungu amatsutsa odzikuza, koma amaŵakomera mtima anthu odzichepetsa.”
Kunyada kumafikitsa ku chiwonongeko, ndipo munthu wa mtima wodzikuza adzagwa. Kuli bwino kukhala ndi mtima wodzichepetsa pakati pa anthu osauka, kupambana kumagaŵana chuma ndi anthu onyada.
Chiwonongeko chisanafike, mtima wa munthu umadzikuza, koma ulemu umatsatira kudzichepetsa.
Senzani goli langa ndipo phunzirani kwa Ine, pakuti ndine wofatsa ndi wa mtima wodzichepetsa; mukatero mudzapeza mpumulo m'mitima mwanu.
Ndipo zimene anthu amaziyesa zachabe, zonyozeka ndi zosakhala zenizeni, Mulungu adazisankha kuti athetse mphamvu zinthu zimene iwowo amayesa kuti ndiye zenizeni. Mulungu adachita zimenezi kuti pasakhale wina aliyense woti nkumadzitukumula pamaso pake.
ndipo anthu anga amene amatchedwa dzina langa akadzichepetsa, napemphera, ndi kufunafuna nkhope yanga, nasiya njira zao zoipa, pamenepo Ine ndidzamva kumwambako. Choncho ndidzaŵakhululukira zoipa zao ndi kupulumutsa dziko lao.
Koma pakati pa inu zisamatero ai. Aliyense wofuna kukhala mkulu pakati panu, akhale mtumiki wanu. Ndipo aliyense wofuna kukhala mtsogoleri pakati panu, akhale kapolo wanu.
Yesu popitiriza mau adati, “Kunena zoona, wokhometsa msonkhoyu adabwerera kwao ali wolungama pamaso pa Mulungu, osati Mfarisi uja ai. Pajatu aliyense wodzikuza adzamchepetsa, ndipo wodzichepetsa, adzamkuza.”
Motero nonse mukhale ndi mtima womwe uja umene adaali nawonso Khristu Yesu: Iyeyu anali ndi umulungu chikhalire, komabe sadayese kuti kulingana ndi Mulungu ndi chinthu choti achigwiritsitse. Koma adadzitsitsa kotheratu pakudzitengera umphaŵi wa kapolo, ndi kukhala munthu wonga anthu onse. Ali munthu choncho adadzichepetsa, adakhala womvera mpaka imfa, imfa yake yapamtanda.
Pakati pa anthu onse a Mulungu ine ndine wamng'ono koposa, komabe Mulungu adandipatsa ineyo ntchito iyi, yakuti ndilalikire anthu a mitundu ina za chuma chopanda malire, chimene Mulungu amatipatsa mwa Khristu.
Koma iwe, munthu wa Mulungu, uzipewe zonsezi. Uzikhala ndi mtima wofunafuna chilungamo, wolemekeza Mulungu, wokhulupirika, wachikondi, wolimbika ndi wofatsa.
Paja Malembo akuti, “Wofuna kunyada, anyadire Ambuye.” Pakuti munthu wovomerezeka, si amene amadzichitira yekha umboni, koma amene Ambuye amamchitira umboni.
Iye amene ali Wamkulu ndi Wopambanazonse, amene alipo nthaŵi zonse, ndipo dzina lake ndi Woyera uja, akunena kuti, “Ndimakhala pa malo aulemu, oyera. Koma ndimakhalanso ndi anthu odzichepetsa ndi olapa mu mtima, kuti odzichepetsawo ndiŵachotse mantha, olapawo ndiŵalimbitse mtima.
“Chenjerani, musachite ntchito zanu zabwino pamaso pa anthu ndi cholinga choti akuwoneni. Mukatero, simudzalandira mphotho kwa Atate anu amene ali Kumwamba. Ufumu wanu udze. Kufuna kwanu kuchitidwe, monga kumwamba chomwechonso pansi pano. Mutipatse ife lero chakudya chathu chamasikuwonse. Mutikhululukire ife machimo athu, monga ifenso takhululukira otilakwira. Ndipo musalole kuti tigwe m'zotiyesa, koma mutipulumutse kwa Woipa uja.” [Pakuti ufumu, mphamvu ndi ulemerero ndi zanu kwamuyaya. Amen.] “Ndithu ngati mukhululukira anthu machimo ao, Atate anu akumwamba adzakukhululukirani inunso. Koma ngati simukhululukira anthu machimo ao, Atate anunso sadzakukhululukirani machimo anu. “Pamene mukusala zakudya, musamaonetsa nkhope zachisoni monga amachitira anthu achiphamaso aja. Iwo amaipitsa nkhope kuti anthu aone kuti akusala zakudya. Ndithu ndikunenetsa kuti amenewo alandiriratu mphotho yao. Koma iwe, pamene ukusala zakudya, samba m'maso nkudzola mafuta kumutu, kuti anthu asadziŵe kuti ukusala zakudya. Koma Atate ako amene ali osaoneka ndiwo adziŵe. Ndipo Atate akowo amene amaona zobisika, adzakupatsa mphotho. “Musadziwunjikire chuma pansi pano, pamene njenjete ndi dzimbiri zimaononga, ndiponso mbala zimathyola ndi kuba. “Nchifukwa chake pamene mukupereka zachifundo, musachite modziwonetsera, monga amachitira anthu achiphamaso aja m'nyumba zamapemphero ndiponso m'miseu yam'mizinda. Iwoŵa amachita zimenezi kuti anthu aŵatame. Ndithu ndikunenetsa kuti amenewo alandiriratu mphotho yao. Koma mudziwunjikire chuma Kumwamba, kumene njenjete kapena dzimbiri siziwononga, ndiponso mbala sizithyola ndi kuba. Pajatu kumene kuli chuma chako, mtima wakonso kokhala nkomweko. “Maso ndiwo nyale zounikira thupi la munthu. Ngati maso ako ali bwino, m'thupi mwako monse mumakhala kuŵala. Koma ngati maso ako sali bwino, m'thupi mwako monse mumakhala mdima. Tsono ngati kuŵala kumene kuli mwa iwe kusanduka mdima, mdima wakewo ndi wochita kuti goo! “Munthu sangathe kutumikira mabwana aŵiri, pakuti kapena adzadana ndi mmodzi nkukonda winayo, kapena adzadzipereka kwa mmodzi nkumanyoza winayo. Simungathe kutumikira onse aŵiri, Mulungu ndi chuma. “Nchifukwa chake ndikukuuzani kuti musamadera nkhaŵa moyo wanu, kuti mudzadyanji, kapena mudzamwanji, kapena thupi lanu, kuti mudzavalanji. Kodi suja moyo umaposa chakudya? Kodi suja thupi limaposa zovala? Onani mbalame zamumlengalenga. Sizifesa kapena kukolola kapena kututira m'nkhokwe ai. Komabe Atate anu akumwamba amazidyetsa. Nanga inu sindinu amtengowapatali kuposa mbalame? Ndani mwa inu ndi maganizo ankhaŵa angathe kuwonjezera ngakhale tsiku limodzi pa moyo wake? “Ndipo mumaderanji nkhaŵa ndi zovala? Onani maluŵa akuthengo m'mene amakulira. Sagwira ntchito kapena kuwomba nsalu ai. Komatu kunena zoona, ngakhale mfumu Solomoni yemwe, mu ulemerero wake wonse, sankavala zokongola kulingana ndi limodzi lomwe mwa maluŵa ameneŵa. Koma iwe ukamapereka zachifundo, dzanja lako lamanzere lisadziŵe zimene dzanja lako lamanja likuchita. Tsono ngati Mulungu amaveka motere udzu wakuthengo, umene ungokhalapo lero lokha, maŵa lino nkuponyedwa pa moto, nanji inuyo, angapande kukuvekani, inu a chikhulupiriro chochepanu? “Nchifukwa chake musamada nkhaŵa nkumanena kuti, ‘Tidzadyanji? Tidzamwanji? Tidzavalanji?’ Paja zimenezi amazifunafuna ndi anthu akunja. Atate anu akumwamba amadziŵa kuti mukuzisoŵa zonsezi. Koma inu, yambani mwafunafuna ufumu wa Mulungu ndi kumachita zimene Iye akufuna, ndipo zina zonsezi adzakupatsaninso. Motero musadere nkhaŵa zamaŵa. Zamaŵa nzamaŵa. Tsiku lililonse lili ndi zovuta zake zokwanira. Ukatero, zachifundo zakozo zidzakhala zodziŵa iwe wekha. Tsono Atate ako amene amaona zobisika adzakupatsa mphotho.
Mtima wanu usakangamire pa ndalama, ndipo zimene muli nazo, mukhutire nazo. Paja Mulungu adati, “Sindidzakusiyani kapena kukutayani konse.”
Nzoona, iwo adakadzukadi chifukwa sadakhulupirire, ndipo inu pakukhulupirira, mukukhala mu mtengo tsopano. Komatu tsono musamadzitame, makamaka muzichita mantha.
Mbiri yabwino ndi yofunika kupambana chuma chambiri, kupeza kuyanja nkopambana siliva ndi golide.
Ngati munthu adziyesa kanthu, pamene chikhalirecho sali kanthu konse, amangodzinyenga.
Kudzikuza kwa anthu kudzatha, kudzitama kwa anthu kudzaonongedwa. Chauta yekha ndiye adzapatsidwe ulemu tsiku limenelo.
Tsono ngati Ine Mbuye wanu ndi Mphunzitsi wanu ndakusambitsani mapazi anu, ndiye kuti inunso muyenera kumasambitsana mapazi. Ndakupatsani chitsanzo, kuti inunso muzichita monga momwe Ine ndakuchitirani inu.
Musakhale ngati mafumu odzikuza potsogolera anthu amene muyenera kuŵayang'anira, koma onetsani chitsanzo chabwino kwa nkhosazo.
popeza kuti onse adachimwa, nalephera kufika ku ulemerero umene Mulungu adaŵakonzera. Koma mwa kukoma mtima kwake kwaulere, anthu amapezeka kuti ngolungama pamaso pa Mulungu, chifukwa cha Khristu Yesu amene adaŵaombola.
Kukhala wosauka ndimakudziŵa, kukhala wolemera ndimakudziŵanso. Pa zonse ndidaphunzira chinsinsi chake cha kukhala wokhutitsidwa, pamene ndapeza chakudya kapena ndili ndi njala, pamene ndili ndi zambiri kapena ndili wosoŵeratu. Ndingathe kuchita zonse chifukwa Khristu amandipatsa mphamvu.
Anthu asatinso azikutchulani atsogoleri, popeza kuti Mtsogoleri wanu ndi mmodzi yekha, ndiye Khristu. Pakati panupa wamkulu akhale mtumiki wanu. Pajatu aliyense wodzikuza adzamchepetsa, ndipo aliyense wodzichepetsa adzamkuza.”
Koma pakati pa inu zisamatero ai. Kwenikweni wamkulu mwa inu azikhala ngati wamng'ono mwa onse, ndipo mtsogoleri azikhala ngati wotumikira.
Chauta akunena kuti, “Munthu wanzeru asanyadire nzeru zake, munthu wamphamvu asanyadire mphamvu zake, ndipo munthu wolemera asanyadire chuma chake. Koma ngati wina afuna kunyadira, anyadire ichi chakuti amamvetsa za Ine, ndipo amandidziŵa. Amadziŵa kuti Ine ndine Chauta wokonda chifundo, chilungamo, ndi ungwiro pa dziko lapansi. Ndithudi, pazimenezi ndipo pali mtima wanga.”
Chikondi ncholeza mtima ndiponso nchofatsa. Chikondi chilibe kaduka, ndipo sichidzitamanda kapena kudzikuza. Chikondi chilibe matama kapena chipongwe, sichidzikonda, sichikwiya, sichisunga mangaŵa.
pakuti mtima wako walapa ndipo wadzichepetsa pamaso pa Mulungu, utamva mau ake otsutsa mzinda uno ndi anthu onse am'menemo. Popeza kuti wadzichepetsa pamaso panga, nkung'amba zovala zako numalira pamaso panga, Inenso ndamva pemphero lako, ndatero Ine Chauta.
Usamadzikuza ukakhala pamaso pa mfumu, usamakhala pa malo a anthu apamwamba. Pajatu kuli bwino kuchita kukuuza kuti, “Dzakhale pokwera pano”, koposa kuchita kukutsitsa chifukwa cha wina wokupambana. Zimene maso ako azipenya,
Ife amene tili ndi chikhulupiriro champhamvu, tiziŵalezera mtima anthu ofooka, osamangodzikondweretsa tokha. Akutinso, “Inu anthu a mitundu ina, kondwani pamodzi ndi anthu ake a Mulungu.” Ndiponso akuti, “Inu nonse a mitundu ina, tamandani Ambuye, anthu a mitundu yonse amtamande.” Nayenso mneneri Yesaya akuti, “Mmodzi mwa zidzukulu za Yese adzabwera. Iye adzadzambatuka kuti alamule anthu a mitundu ina, ndipo iwo adzaika chikhulupiriro chao pa Iyeyo.” Mulungu amene amatipatsa chikhulupiriro, adzaze mitima yanu ndi chimwemwe ndi mtendere pakumvera Iye, kuti chiyembekezo chanu chizikulirakulira ndi mphamvu za Mzimu Woyera. Abale anga, ine mwini wake sindikayika konse kuti ndinu anthu a kufuna kwabwino ndithu, ndinu anthu odziŵa zinthu, ndipo mumatha kulangizana. Komabe m'kalata ino zina ndakulemberani mopanda mantha konse, kuti ndikukumbutseni zimenezo. Ndalemba motere popeza kuti Mulungu adandikomera mtima pakundipatula kuti ndikhale mtumiki wa Khristu Yesu kwa anthu a mitundu ina. Adandipatsa ntchito yolalikira Uthenga Wabwino wa Mulungu ngati wansembe, kuti anthuwo akhale ngati nsembe yokomera Iye ndi yoperekedwa mwa Mzimu Woyera. Tsono pokhala ndine wake wa Khristu Yesu, ndikunyadira ntchito imene ndikugwirira Mulungu. Sindidzalimba mtima kulankhula za kanthu kena ai, koma zokhazo zimene ndimachita kudzera mwa Khristu, kuti ndithandize anthu a mitundu ina kumvera. Zimenezi ndidazichita ndi mau anga ndi ntchito zanga, ndi zizindikiro ndi zozizwitsa zamphamvu zochitika ndi mphamvu za Mzimu Woyera. Motero Uthenga Wabwino wonena za Khristu ndidaulalika kwathunthu ku Yerusalemu ndi ku dziko lozungulira mpaka ku Iliriko. Aliyense mwa ife azikondweretsa mnzake, ndi kumchitira zabwino, kuti alimbikitse chikhulupiriro chake.
Maso odzikuza ndi mtima wonyada zimatsogolera anthu oipa ngati nyale, nchifukwa chake amachimwa.
Pamene anthu ankamuchita chipongwe, Iye sadabwezere chipongwe. Pamene ankazunzika, Iye sadaopseze, koma adapereka zonse kwa Mulungu amene amaweruza molungama.
“Musamaweruza anthu ena kuti ndi olakwa, kuwopa kuti Mulungu angakuweruzeni. Kapena atampempha nsomba, iye nkumupatsa njoka? Tsono ngati inu, nkuipa kwanuku, mumadziŵa kupatsa ana anu mphatso zabwino, nanji Atate anu amene ali Kumwamba, angalephere bwanji kupereka zinthu zabwino kwa amene aŵapempha? Zomwe mukufuna kuti anthu akuchitireni, inuyo muŵachitire zomwezo. Izi ndiye zimene Malamulo a Mose ndiponso aneneri amaphunzitsa. “Loŵerani pa chipata chophaphatiza. Pajatu chipata choloŵera ku chiwonongeko nchachikulu, ndipo njira yake ndi yofumbula, nkuwona anthu amene amadzerapo ndi ambiri. Koma chipata choloŵera ku moyo nchophaphatiza, ndipo njira yake ndi yosautsa, nkuwona anthu amene amaipeza ndi oŵerengeka. “Chenjera nawoni aneneri onyenga. Amadza kwa inu ali ndi maonekedwe ofatsa ngati nkhosa, koma m'kati mwao ndi mimbulu yolusa. Mudzaŵadziŵira zochita zao. Kodi mitengo yaminga nkubala mphesa? Kodi mitula nkubala nkhuyu? Chonchonso mtengo uliwonse wabwino umabala zipatso zabwino, koma mtengo woipa umabala zipatso zoipa. Mtengo wabwino sungabale zipatso zoipa, kapena mtengo woipa kubala zipatso zabwino ai. Mtengo uliwonse wosabala zipatso zabwino, amaudula nkuuponya pa moto. M'mene inu mumaweruzira ena, ndi m'menenso Mulungu adzakuweruzirani inuyo. Ndipo muyeso womwe mumagwiritsa ntchito poweruza ena, Mulungu adzagwiritsa ntchito womwewo pokuweruzani inu. Choncho mudzaŵadziŵira zochita zao. “Si munthu aliyense womangonditi ‘Ambuye, Ambuye’ amene adzaloŵe mu Ufumu wakumwamba ai. Koma adzaloŵe ndi wochita zimene Atate anga akumwamba afuna. Pa tsiku lachiweruzo anthu ambiri azidzanena kuti, ‘Ambuye, Ambuye, kodi suja ife tinkalalika mau a Mulungu m'dzina lanu? Suja tinkatulutsa mizimu yonyansa potchula dzina lanu?

Koma aliyense wongomva mau angaŵa, osaŵagwiritsa ntchito, ali ngati munthu wopusa amene adaamanga nyumba yake pa mchenga. Kudagwa mvula, mitsinje idadzaza, ndipo chimphepo chidadza nkuwomba pa nyumbayo, ndipo idagwa. Kugwa kwake kunali koopsa.” Yesu atatsiriza kunena zimenezi, anthu onse aja adadabwa ndi kaphunzitsidwe kake, chifukwa ankaŵaphunzitsa monga munthu waulamuliro osati monga m'mene ankachitira aphunzitsi a Malamulo.

Nthaŵi zonse mau anu akhale okoma, opindulitsa ena, kuti potero mudziŵe m'mene muyenera kuyankhira munthu aliyense.
“Koma pali ena amene amangochita zoŵakomera. Kwa iwo nchimodzimodzi kupereka ng'ombe yamphongo ngati nsembe kapena kupha munthu, kupha mwanawankhosa kuti aperekere nsembe kapena kupha galu, kupereka chopereka cha chakudya kapena kupereka magazi a nkhumba, kupereka lubani ku nsembe yachikumbutso kapena kupembedza fano. Anthu ameneŵa mtima wao umakondwera nazo zonyansa zao.
Chauta, mumamva zimene odzichepetsa amapempha. Mudzalimbitsa mitima yao, mudzaŵatchera khutu.
Kamvetsetseni tanthauzo la mau a Mulungu aja akuti, ‘Ndimafuna chifundo, osati nsembe ai.’ Inetu sindidabwere kudzaitana anthu olungama, koma anthu ochimwa.”
Chipongwe cha osasamala za anzao chimadzetsa mkangano, koma omvera malangizo a anzao ndiwo ali ndi nzeru.
Abale anga, popeza kuti mumakhulupirira Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu, Ambuye aulemerero, musamakondera. Pajatu munthu wotsata Malamulo onse, akangophonyapo ngakhale pa mfundo imodzi yokha, ndiye kuti wachimwira Malamulo onsewo. Pakuti Mulungu amene adanena kuti, “Usachite chigololo”, adanenanso kuti, “Usaphe”. Ngati inu chigololo simuchita, koma kupha mumapha, ndiye kutitu mwachimwira Malamulo onse. Tsono muzilankhula ndi kuchita zinthu monga anthu oti Mulungu adzaŵaweruza potsata lamulo loŵapatsa ufulu. Paja munthu woweruza mopanda chifundo, nayenso Mulungu adzamuweruza mopanda chifundo. Koma wochita chifundo alibe chifukwa choopera chiweruzo cha Mulungu. Abale anga, pali phindu lanji, ngati munthu anena kuti, “Ndili ndi chikhulupiriro,” koma popanda chimene akuchitapo? Kodi chikhulupiriro chotere chingampulumutse? Mwachitsanzo: mbale wina kapena mlongo ali ndi usiŵa, ndipo masiku onse alibe chakudya chokwanira. Tsono wina mwa inu angoŵauza kuti. “Pitani ndi mtendere, mukafundidwe ndipo mukakhute”, koma osaŵapatsa zimene akusoŵazo, pamenepo phindu lake nchiyani? Choncho, chikhulupiriro pachokha, chopanda ntchito zake, nchakufa basi. Koma kapena wina anganene kuti, “Inuyo muli ndi chikhulupiriro, ineyo ndili ndi ntchito zabwino.” Pamenepo ine nkumuyankha kuti, “Uyesetse kundiwonetsa chikhulupiriro chako chopanda ntchito zakecho, ine ndi ntchito zanga ndikuwonetsa chikhulupiriro changa.” Inu mumakhulupirira kuti Mulungu ndi mmodzi yekha. Ai chabwino, mumakhoza, komatu ndi mizimu yoipa yomwe imakhulupirira zimenezi, imachitanso kunjenjemera. Mwachitsanzo: munthu wina aloŵa mumsonkhano mwanu atavala mphete zagolide m'manja, alinso ndi zovala zokongola. Winanso nkuloŵa, koma ali mmphaŵi, nsanza zili wirawira. Wopusawe, kodi ukufuna umboni wotsimikiza kuti chikhulupiriro chopanda ntchito zake nchachabe? Nanga Abrahamu, kholo lathu, suja adakhala wolungama pamaso pa Mulungu chifukwa cha ntchito yomwe adachita, muja adaapereka mwana wake Isaki pa guwa lansembe? Waona tsono kuti chikhulupiriro chake ndi zochita zake zidachitikira pamodzi. Zochita zake zidasandutsa chikhulupiriro chake kuti chifike pake penipeni. Motero zidachitikadi zimene Malembo adaanena, kuti, “Abrahamu adakhulupirira Mulungu, nchifukwa chake Mulungu adamuwona kuti ngwolungama;” mwakuti ankatchedwa bwenzi la Mulungu. Mukuwonatu kuti zochita zake za munthu ndizo zimamsandutsa wolungama pamaso pa Mulungu, osati chikhulupiriro chokha. Kodi suja zidaateronso ndi Rahabu, mkazi wadama uja? Iye adaalandira azondi aja, nkuŵabweza kwao poŵadzeretsa njira ina, ndipo adapezeka kuti ngwolungama pamaso pa Mulungu chifukwa cha zimene adaachitazo. Paja monga momwe thupi lopanda mzimu limakhala lakufa, moteronso chikhulupiriro chopanda ntchito zake nchakufa. Tsono inu pofuna kusamala kwambiri wovala zokongolayo, mumuuza kuti, “Khalani apa pabwinopa”, mmphaŵi uja nkumuuza kuti, “Iwe, kaimirire apo, kapena dzakhale pansi kumapazi kwangaku.” Limenelotu ndi tsankho pakati pa inu nokhanokha, ndipo inuyo mwasanduka oweruza a maganizo oipa.
Choncho inunso, mutachita zonse zimene adakulamulani, muziti, ‘Ndife antchito osayenera kulandira kanthu. Tangochita zimene tinayenera kuchita.’ ”
Mukudziŵa kukoma mtima kwa Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu. Ngakhale anali wolemera, adakhala mmphaŵi chifukwa cha inu, kuti ndi umphaŵi wakewo inu mukhale olemera.
Koma iwe, munthu chabe, ndiwe yani kuti nkumatsutsana ndi Mulungu? Kodi mbiya nkufunsa woiwumba kuti, “Bwanji mwandiwumba motere?” Kodi kapena woumba sangathe kuumba mbiya ziŵiri ndi dothi lomwelo, ina ya masiku apadera ina ya masiku onse?
Zimene amachita munthu wopusa mwiniwakeyo amaziyesa zolungama, koma munthu wanzeru amamvetsera malangizo a ena.
Nanga adakusiyanitsa ndi anthu ena ndani? Kaya uli ndi chiyaninso chimene sudachite kuchilandira? Tsono ngati udachita kuzilandira, ukunyadiranji ngati kuti sudangozilandira chabe?
Tidziŵa kuti mkhalidwe wathu wakale udapachikidwa pa mtanda pamodzi ndi Khristu, kuti khumbo lathu lokonda machimo liwonongeke, ndipo tisakhalenso akapolo a uchimo.
Tikanena kuti tilibe tchimo, tikudzinyenga, ndipo mwa ife mulibe choona. Koma tikamavomera kuti ndife ochimwa, Mulungu amene ali wokhulupirika ndi wolungama, adzatikhululukira machimo athuwo. Adzatiyeretsa ndi kutichotsera kusalungama kwathu konse.
Mosapeneka, moyo wanu mwa Khristu umakulimbitsani mtima. Chikondi chake chimakuchotsani nkhaŵa. Mumakhala a mtima umodzi mwa Mzimu Woyera, ndipo mumamvera anzanu chifundo ndi chisoni. Adachita zimenezi kuti pakumva dzina la Yesu, zolengedwa zonse kumwamba, pansi pano ndi pansi pa dziko, zidzagwade pansi mopembedza, Zonse zidzavomereze poyera kuti, “Yesu Khristu ndi Ambuye,” ndipo pakutero zilemekeze Mulungu Atate. Nchifukwa chake, inu okondedwa anga, mwakhala omvera nthaŵi zonse pamene ndinali nanu. Nanji tsopano pamene sindili nanu, ndiye muzikhala omvera koposa. Mupitirize ndi kufikitsa chipulumutso chanu pa chimake mwamantha ndi monjenjemerera. Paja Mulungu ndiye amene amagwira ntchito mwa inu, muzifuna ndi kutha kuchita zimene zimkomera Iye. Muzichita zonse mosanyinyirika ndi mosatsutsapo, kuti mukhale angwiro ndi osalakwa, ana a Mulungu opanda chilema chilichonse pakati pa anthu onyenga ndi osokeretsa anzao. Pakati pa anthu otere mumaŵala monga momwe zimaonekera nyenyezi pa dziko lapansi, pakuŵauza mau opatsa moyo. Motero ine ndidzakhala ndi chifukwa chonyadira pa Tsiku la Kubweranso kwa Khristu. Pakuti pamenepo padzadziŵika kuti sindidathamange pachabe pa mpikisano wa liŵiro, ndipo khama langa pa ntchito silidapite pachabe. Ndipotu mwina mwake ndidzaphedwa, magazi anga nkukhala ngati otsiridwa pa nsembe imene chikhulupiriro chanu chikupereka kwa Mulungu. Ngati ndi choncho ndili wokondwa, ndipo ndikusangalala nanu pamodzi nonsenu. Chimodzimodzi inunso muzikondwa, ndi kusangalala nane pamodzi. Ngati Ambuye Yesu alola, ndikhulupirira kuti ndidzatha kutuma Timoteo kwanuko msanga, kuti mtima wanga ukhale pansi nditamva za kumeneko. Nchifukwa chake ndikukupemphani kuti mundikondweretse kwenikweni pakuvomerezana maganizo ndi kukondana chimodzimodzi, kukhala a mtima umodzi ndi a cholinga chimodzi.
Inu abale, Mulungu adakuitanani kuti mukhale mfulu. Koma chenjerani kuti ufulu wanu umenewu usapatse mpata khalidwe lanu lokonda zoipa. Kwenikweni muzitumikirana mwachikondi.
Yesetsani kukhala ndi moyo wabata. Aliyense asamale ntchito yakeyake ndi kumagwira ntchito ndi manja ake. Chitani zimenezi, monga tidakulangizirani muja,
Aŵa ndi mau otsimikizika, oyenera kuŵavomereza ndi mtima wonse, akuti Khristu Yesu adabwera pansi pano kuti adzapulumutse anthu ochimwa. Ndipo mwa iwowo ine ndiye wochimwa koposa.
“Koma inu amene mukumva mau anga, ndikukuuzani kuti, Muzikonda adani anu, muziŵachitira zabwino amene amadana nanu. Muziŵafunira madalitso amene amakutembererani, muziŵapempherera amene amakuvutitsani.
Muzikondwa nawo amene akukondwa, muzilira nawo amene akulira. Muzimvana bwino, ndipo musamadzikweze, koma muziyanjana nawo anthu wamba. Musamadziyese anzeru.
Ndine mfulu, osati kapolo wa munthu wina aliyense ai, komabe ndidadzisandutsa kapolo wa anthu onse, kuti ndikope anthu ambiri.
Nsembe imene Inu Mulungu mumailandira, ndi mtima wotswanyika. Mtima wachisoni ndi wolapa, Inu Mulungu simudzaunyoza.
Ndi kukoma mtima kwa Mulungu kumene kudakupulumutsani pakukhulupirira. Simudapulumuke chifukwa cha zimene inuyo mudaachita ai, kupulumuka kwanu ndi mphatso ya Mulungu. Munthu sapulumuka chifukwa cha ntchito zake, kuwopa kuti angamanyade.
Ozunzika aone zimenezo ndipo asangalale, inu amene mumafunafuna Mulungu, mulimbenso mtima.
Mundidziŵitse njira zanu, Inu Chauta, mundiphunzitse kuchita kufuna kwanu. Munditsogolere m'choona chanu ndi kundilangiza, pakuti Inu ndinu Mulungu Mpulumutsi wanga, ndimadalira Inu masiku onse.
Amene sasenza mtanda wake ndi kumanditsata, ngwosayenera kukhala wophunzira wanga. Munthu woyesa kusunga moyo wake, adzautaya, ndipo wotaya moyo wake chifukwa cha Ine, adzausunga.
Monga Atate anu akumwamba ali achifundo, inunso mukhale achifundo.” “Musamaweruza anthu ena kuti ngolakwa, ndipo Mulungu sadzakuweruzani. Musamaimba ena mlandu, ndipo Mulungu sadzakuimbani mlandu. Muzikhululukira ena, ndipo Mulungu adzakukhululukirani.
Kwenikweni muyenera kumanena kuti, “Ambuye akalola, tikakhala ndi moyo, tidzachita chakutichakuti.”
Kuwopa Chauta nkudana ndi zoipa. Kunyada, kudzitama, kuchita zoipa ndi kulankhula zonyenga, zonsezo ndimadana nazo.
