110 Mau a m'Baibulo Pa Nkhani ya Ufulero
Ndikufuna tikambirane za chilakolako cha ukulu, nkhani yomwe imapezeka nthawi zambiri m'Baibulo. Baibulo limatipatsa uphungu wabwino kwambiri pankhaniyi.
N'zoona kuti anthu amamvetsetsa nkhani ya chilakolako cha ukulu mosiyanasiyana, koma ndikofunikira kuti timvetsetse bwino zimene Baibulo limanena. Baibulo limatilimbikitsa kukhala odzichepetsa ndi kufunafuna zinthu za Mulungu kuposa zathu zapansi.
M’buku la Miyambo 21:25 (Buku Lopatulika), limatiuza kuti “chilakolako cha waulesi chimamupha, pakuti manja ake amakana kugwira ntchito.” Apa tikukumbutsidwa za kuopsa kwa chilakolako chosagwirizana ndi ntchito ndi khama.
Yesu nayenso analankhula za chilakolako cha ukulu. Anaphunzitsa ophunzira ake kufunafuna kaye Ufumu wa Mulungu ndi chilungamo chake, ndipo zina zonse zidzawonjezedwa (Mateyu 6:33). Tiyenera kuika patsogolo chifuniro cha Mulungu m’maloto athu onse.
Ndikofunikira kuti tiganizire chifukwa chomwe timachitira zinthu. Kodi zolinga zathu ndi zokhumba zathu zikugwirizana ndi chifuniro cha Mulungu? Tiyenera kukhala ndi chilakolako chabwino chofuna kutumikira Mulungu ndi anthu anzathu.
Tikamafuna chifuniro cha Mulungu, ndipo tikakhala ndi chikondi kwa Iye ndi anthu anzathu, tidzapeza chimwemwe chenicheni. Chimwemwe chimenechi sichingafanane ndi chuma kapena zinthu zina zapadziko lapansi.
Yesetsani kukhala ndi moyo wabata. Aliyense asamale ntchito yakeyake ndi kumagwira ntchito ndi manja ake. Chitani zimenezi, monga tidakulangizirani muja,
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.
Koma oyamba aja salalika Khristu moona. Amangodzikonda okha, ndipo amafuna kundiwonjezera zoŵaŵa pamene ndili m'ndende muno.
“Iwe mwana wa munthu, uza mfumu ya ku Tiro mau angaŵa akuti, Iwe ndi mtima wako wodzikuza umanena kuti, ‘Ine ndine mulungu. Ndimakhala ngati mfumu pa mpando wa milungu pakati pa nyanja yozama.’ Koma chonsecho ndiwe munthu chabe, osati mulungu, ngakhale umadziyesa wanzeru ngati mulungu.
Pajatu pamene pali kaduka ndi kudzikonda, pomweponso pali chisokonezo ndi ntchito yoipa ya mtundu uliwonse.
Yesu adaŵafunsa kuti, “Inuyo mukufuna kuti ndikuchitireni chiyani?” Iwo adati, “Timafuna kuti pamene mudzakhale mu ulemerero wanu, mudzatiike wina ku dzanja lanu lamanja, wina ku dzanja lanu lamanzere.”
Ndipo adati, “Tsopano tiyeni timange mzinda wathu, ndipo nsanja yake italike mpaka kukafika kumwamba. Tikatero tidzatchuka ndithu, ndipo sitidzamwazikanso pa dziko lapansi.”
Mumtima mwako unkati, ‘Ndidzakwera mpaka kumwamba. Ndidzakhazika mpando wanga waufumu pamwamba pa nyenyezi za Mulungu. Ndidzakhala pampandopo pa phiri la kumpoto kumene imasonkhanako milungu yonse. Ndidzakwera pamwamba pa mitambo, ndidzafanafana naye Wopambanazonse.’
“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.
Nanga ndiye kuti munthu wapindulanji atapata zonse za pansi pano, iyeyo nkutaya moyo wake?
Nthaŵi imene ija ifenso tonse tinali ndi moyo wonga wao, ndipo tinkatsata zilakolako za khalidwe lathu lokonda zoipa. Tinkachitanso zilizonse zimene matupi athu ndi maganizo athu ankasirira. Nchifukwa chake, mwachibadwa chathu, tinali oyenera mkwiyo wa Mulungu, monga anthu ena onse.
Muzimvana bwino, ndipo musamadzikweze, koma muziyanjana nawo anthu wamba. Musamadziyese anzeru.
Paja zonse zapansipano, zilakolako zathupi, zinthu zimene maso amakhumbira, ndiponso kunyadira za moyo uno, zonsezi sizichokera kwa Atate, koma ku mkhalidwe woipa wa dziko lapansi.
Atatero adauza anthu aja kuti, “Chenjerani, ndipo mupewe khumbo lililonse lofuna zambiri. Pajatu ngakhale munthu akhale ndi chuma chochuluka chotani, chumacho sichingatchinjirize moyo wake.”
Koma ngati muli ndi mtima wakaduka ndi wodzikonda, musamanyada ndi kutsutsana ndi choona pakunena mabodza. Nzeru zotere si zochokera Kumwamba, koma ndi nzapansipano, ndi za anthu chabe, ndiponso nzochokera ku mizimu yoipa. Pajatu pamene pali kaduka ndi kudzikonda, pomweponso pali chisokonezo ndi ntchito yoipa ya mtundu uliwonse.
Usadzitopetse nkufuna chuma, udziŵe kuchita zinthu mwanzeru ndi kudziletsa. Ukangopeza chuma, uwona chapita kale, pakuti chimachita ngati chamera mapiko mwadzidzidzi, nkuyamba kuuluka kunka kumwamba ngati chiwombankhanga.
Musamachita kanthu ndi mtima wodzikonda, kapena wodzitukumula chabe. Koma khalani odzichepetsa, ndipo aliyense aziwona anzake kuti ngomuposa iyeyo.
Nzoonadi, kupembedza Mulungu kumapindulitsa kwambiri, malinga munthu akakhutira ndi zimene ali nazo. Sitidatenge kanthu poloŵa m'dziko lino lapansi, ndipo sitingathenso kutenga kanthu potulukamo. Tsono ngati tili ndi chakudya ndi zovala, zimenezi zitikwanire.
Kodi ukudzifunira zazikulu? Ai, usadzifunire zoterezi. Ndidzagwetsera anthu onse zoipa. Koma iwe ndidzasunga moyo wako kulikonse kumene ungapite,’ ” akuterotu Chauta.
Kodi nkhondo zimachokera kuti? Kukangana pakati panu kumachokera kuti? Kodi suja zimachokera ku zilakolako zanu zathupi, zimene zimachita nkhondo mwa inu? Mudzichepetse pamaso pa Ambuye, ndipo adzakukwezani. Abale, musamasinjirirana. Wosinjirira mbale wake kapena kumuweruza, akusinjirira ndi kuweruza Malamulo a Mulungu. Koma ukaweruza Malamulo a Mulungu, ndiye kuti sukuchita zimene Malamulowo akunena, ukudziyesa woweruza. Mulungu yekha ndiye wopanga Malamulo ndiponso woweruza. Ndiyenso wotha kupulumutsa ndi kuwononga. Nanga iwe ndiwe yani kuti uziweruza mnzako? Onani tsono, inu amene mukuti, “Lero kapena maŵa tipita ku mzinda wakutiwakuti, ndipo tikachitako malonda chaka chimodzi kuti tikaphe ndalama,” m'menemo inuyo zamaŵa simukuzidziŵa. Kodi moyo wanu ngwotani? Pajatu inu muli ngati utsi chabe, umene umangooneka pa kanthaŵi, posachedwa nkuzimirira. Kwenikweni muyenera kumanena kuti, “Ambuye akalola, tikakhala ndi moyo, tidzachita chakutichakuti.” Koma monga zilirimu, mumanyada ndi kudzitama. Kunyada konse kotere nkoipa. Munthu akadziŵa zabwino zimene ayenera kuchita, napanda kuzichita, ndiye kuti wachimwa. Mumalakalaka zinthu, koma zimakusoŵani, nchifukwa chake mumapha munthu. Mumasirira zinthu, koma simungathe kuzipeza, nchifukwa chake mumamenyana, nkumachita nkhondo. Mulibe zinthuzo chifukwa simupempha kwa Mulungu. Ndipo ngakhale mupemphe, simulandira, chifukwa mumapempha molakwa. Zimene mumapempha, mumafuna kungozimwazira pa zokukondweretsani basi.
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. Chitani monga m'mene adachitira Mwana wa Munthu: adabwera osati kuti ena adzamtumikire ai, koma kuti Iyeyo adzatumikire anthu ndi kupereka moyo wake kuti aombole anthu ochuluka.”
Anthu okonda ndalama sakhutitsidwa nazo ndalamazo. Chimodzimodzinso anthu okonda chuma, sakhutitsidwa nalo phindu. Zimenezinso nzachabechabe.
Sindikunena zimenezi modandaula kuti ndikusoŵa kanthu, pakuti ine ndaphunzira kukhutira ndi zimene ndili nazo. 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.
Mtima wanu usakangamire pa ndalama, ndipo zimene muli nazo, mukhutire nazo. Paja Mulungu adati, “Sindidzakusiyani kapena kukutayani konse.”
Tsiku lathunthu anthu oipa amasirira zinthu, koma omvera Mulungu amapatsa ndipo alibe kaliwumira.
“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.
Mbiri yabwino ndi yofunika kupambana chuma chambiri, kupeza kuyanja nkopambana siliva ndi golide.
“Palibe wantchito amene angathe kutumikira mabwana aŵiri, pakuti kapena adzadana ndi mmodzi nkukonda winayo, kapena adzadzipereka kwa mmodzi nkunyoza winayo. Simungathe kutumikira onse aŵiri, Mulungu ndi chuma.”
Nchifukwa chake, ngakhale tikhalebe kuno, kapena tikakhale kwa Ambuye, timayesetsa kuŵakondweretsa Ambuyewo.
Pa tsiku la mkwiyo wa Mulungu chuma sichithandiza konse, koma chilungamo ndiye chimapulumutsa ku imfa.
Tsono ndidazindikira kuti ntchito zonse zolemetsa ndiponso ntchito zonse zaluso zimachitika chifukwa choti wina akuchitira nsanje mnzake. Zimenezinso nzopanda phindu, ndipo kuyesa kuzimvetsa nkungodzivuta chabe.
Kuli bwino kukhala ndi zinthu pang'ono uli ndi chilungamo kupambana kukhala ndi chuma chambirimbiri ulibe chilungamo.
Anthu omvera khalidwe loipalo, amaika mtima pa zilakolako zathupi. Koma anthu omvera Mzimu Woyera, amaika mtima pa zimene Mzimu Woyerayo afuna. Kuika mtima pa khalidwe lopendekera ku zoipa, ndi imfa yomwe, koma kuika mtima pa zimene Mzimu Woyera afuna, kumabweretsa moyo ndi mtendere.
Usavutike munthu wina akamalemera, pamene chuma cha m'nyumba mwake chikukulirakulira. Chifukwa pamene munthuyu amwalira, sadzatengapo kanthu. Chuma chake sichidzapita naye limodzi.
Koma munthu aliyense amayesedwa ndi zinyengo pamene chilakolako cha mwiniwakeyo chimkopa ndi kumkola. Pamenepo chilakolakocho chimachita ngati chatenga pathupi nkubala uchimo. Tsono uchimowo utakula msinkhu, umabala imfa.
Zonse nzopanda phindu, akutero Mlaliki. Zonse nzachabechabe! Ndithudi zonse nzopandapake.
Musamatsanzira makhalidwe a anthu odalira zapansipano, koma Mulungu asinthe moyo wanu wonse pakukupatsani mitima yatsopano. Pamenepo mudzatha kudziŵa zimene Mulungu afuna, ndipo mudzazindikira zimene zili zabwino, zangwiro ndi zomkondwetsa.
Wokhulupirira chuma chake adzafota, koma anthu a Mulungu adzaphukira ngati tsamba laliŵisi.
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.
Yesu adauza ophunzira ake kuti, “Ndithu ndikunenetsa kuti nkwapatali kwambiri kuti munthu wolemera adzaloŵe mu Ufumu wakumwamba. Ndipo ndikunenetsanso kuti nkwapafupi kuti ngamira idzere pa kachiboo ka zingano, kupambana kuti munthu wolemera akaloŵe mu Ufumu wa Mulungu.”
Popeza kuti ponse pozungulira pali mboni zambirimbiri chotere, tiyeni tichotse kalikonse kotichedwetsa, makamaka tchimo limene limatikangamira, ndipo tithamange ndi khama mpikisano umene tayambawu. Azibambo athu apansipanowo ankatilanga pa kanthaŵi kochepa kokha, akazindikira kuti nkofunika. Koma Mulungu amatilanga kuti tipindulepo, ndipo tilandireko kuyera mtima kwake. Pamene munthu akulandira chilango, kwa iye chilangocho chimaoneka ngati chinthu chomvetsa chisoni, ndi chosakondweretsa. Koma anthu amene adaleredwa mwa njira imeneyi, pambuyo pake amapata mtendere umene uli chipatso cha moyo wolungama. Limbitsani tsono manja anu ofooka ndiponso maondo anu agooka. Muziyenda m'njira zoongoka, kuti miyendo yopunduka isagweduke, koma ichiritsidwe. Yesetsani kukhala ndi mtendere ndi anthu onse, ndi kukhala oyera mtima, pakuti palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe amene adzaona Ambuye popanda kuyera mtimako. Chenjerani kuti wina aliyense asabwerere m'mbuyo nkutaya madalitso a Mulungu. Chenjerani kuti wina aliyense asakhale ngati muzu woŵaŵa, umene umaphuka nkuvuta ena ambiri ndi ululu wake. Chenjerani kuti wina aliyense asakhale wadama, kapena wonyoza zauzimu, monga Esau, amene adaagulitsa ukulu wake ndi chakudya cha kamodzi kokha. Paja mukudziŵa kuti, pambuyo pake adaafuna kulandira madalitso a atate ake, koma zidakanika, chifukwa sadathenso kusintha maganizo, ngakhale adaalakalaka kutero molira mizozi. Inu simudachite monga Aisraele aja, amene adaafika ku chinthu chimene adaatha kuchikhudza, ndiye kuti ku Phiri la Sinai, lija linali loyaka moto, lamdima wa bii, la mphepo yamkuntho; limene panali kulira kwa lipenga, ndiponso kumveka kwa mau. Anthu atamva mauwo, adaapempha kuti asaŵamvenso konse, Maso athu azipenyetsetsa Yesu amene ali woyambitsa chikhulupiriro chathu, ndiponso wochifikitsa pake penipeni. Chifukwa cha chimwemwe chimene chinkamudikira, Iyeyo adapirira zoŵaŵa zapamtanda. Adaŵanyoza manyazi a imfa yotere, ndipo tsopano akukhala ku dzanja lamanja la mpando wachifumu wa Mulungu.
Nanga ndili ndi yani kumwamba kupatula Inu? Pansi pano palibe kanthu kena kamene ndimafuna, koma Inu nokha. Thupi langa ndi mtima wanga zingafooke chotani, Mulungu ndiye mphamvu za mtima wanga ndiyenso wondigaŵira madalitso mpaka muyaya.
Koma inu, yambani mwafunafuna ufumu wa Mulungu ndi kumachita zimene Iye akufuna, ndipo zina zonsezi adzakupatsaninso.
Koma ochita zaupandu, namatsutsa zoona nkumachita zosalungama, Mulungu adzaŵakwiyira ndi kuŵazazira.
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.
Chikondi ncholeza mtima ndiponso nchofatsa. Chikondi chilibe kaduka, ndipo sichidzitamanda kapena kudzikuza. Chikondi chilibe matama kapena chipongwe, sichidzikonda, sichikwiya, sichisunga mangaŵa.
Amene ali ake a Khristu Yesu, adalipachika pa mtanda khalidwe lao lokonda zoipa, pamodzi ndi zokhumba zake ndi zilakolako zake. Ngati Mzimu Woyera adatipatsa moyo, tilolenso kuti Mzimu yemweyo azititsogolera. Tisakhale odzitukumula, oputana, kapena ochitirana dumbo.
Chifukwa chiyani ndalama zanu mukuwonongera zinthu zimene saadya? Chifukwa chiyani malipiro anu mukuwonongera zinthu zimene sizingakuchotseni njala? Mvetsetsani zimene ndikunena Ine, ndipo muzidya zimene zili zabwino, muzidzisangalatsa ndi zakudya zonona.
Tsono abale, popeza kuti Mulungu watichitira chifundo chachikulu chotere, ndikukupemphani kuti mupereke matupi anu omwe kuti akhale nsembe yamoyo, yopatulika, ndi yokondwetsa Mulungu. Imeneyi ikhale njira yanu yopembedzera Mulungu mwauzimu.
Asakhale chidakwa, asakhale wandeu, koma wofatsa, wosakangana ndi anthu, ndi wosakonda ndalama.
Tsono, kaya mulikudya, kaya mulikumwa, kaya mukuchita chilichonse, muzichita zonse kuti mulemekeze Mulungu.
Kuli bwino kukhala ndi mtima wodzichepetsa pakati pa anthu osauka, kupambana kumagaŵana chuma ndi anthu onyada.
Nanga ndiye kuti munthu wapindulanji atapata zonse zapansipano, iyeyo nkutaya moyo wake kapena kuuwononga?
Koma chifukwa cha Khristu, zomwe kale ndinkaziyesa zaphindu, tsopano ndikuziwona kuti nzosapindula. Zoonadi, zonse ndikuziwona kuti nzosapindulitsa poziyerekeza ndi phindu lopambana la kudziŵa Khristu Yesu, amene ndi Ambuye anga. Chifukwa cha Khristuyo ndidalolera kutaya zonse, nkumaziyesa zinyalala, kuti potero phindu langa likhale Khristu,
“Chenjerani, musachite ntchito zanu zabwino pamaso pa anthu ndi cholinga choti akuwoneni. Mukatero, simudzalandira mphotho kwa Atate anu amene ali Kumwamba. Ufumu wanu udze.

Kuli bwino kukhala ndi zinthu pang'ono nkumaopa Chauta, kupambana kukhala ndi chuma chambiri nkupeza nacho mavuto. Kuli bwino kudyera masamba pali chikondi, kupambana kudyera nyama ya ng'ombe yonenepa pali chidani.
Anthu otero amangokhulupirira chuma chao, amanyada chifukwa ali ndi chuma chambiri. Zoonadi, palibe munthu amene angadziwombole, kapena kupatsa Mulungu mtengo wa moyo wake.
Anthu adzakhala odzikonda, okonda ndalama, onyada, odzikuza, onyoza Mulungu, osamvera anakubala ao, osayamika, ndi oipitsa zinthu za Mulungu.

Yesu adamuuza kuti, “Ngati ufuna kukhala wabwino kotheratu, pita, kagulitse zonse zimene uli nazo. Ndalama zake ukapatse anthu osauka, ndipo chuma udzachipeza Kumwamba. Kenaka ubwere, uzidzanditsata.”
Mudziŵe ichi, kuti munthu aliyense wadama, kapena wochita zonyansa, kapena wa masiriro oipa (pakuti wa masiriro oipa ali ngati wopembedza fano) sadzaloŵa nao mu Ufumu wa Khristu ndi wa Mulungu.

Musalole kuti ndikhale wabodza kapena wonama. Ndisakhale mmphaŵi kapena khumutcha. Muzindidyetsa chakudya chondiyenera, kuwopa kuti ndikakhuta kwambiri, ndingayambe kukukanani nkumanena kuti, “Chauta ndiye yaninso?” Kuwopanso kuti ndikakhala mmphaŵi, ndingayambe kuba, potero nkuipitsa dzina la Mulungu wanga.

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.
Musakhulupirire kuti zachiwawa zingakuthandizeni. Musaganize kuti kuba kungakupindulitseni. Chuma chikachuluka musaikepo mtima.
Pamene Yesu adamva zimenezi, adamuuza kuti, “Ukusoŵabe chinthu chimodzi: kagulitse zonse zimene uli nazo. Ndalama zake ukapatse anthu osauka, ndipo chuma udzachipeza Kumwamba. Kenaka ubwere, uzidzanditsata.” Koma pamene munthu uja adamva zimenezi, adavutika mu mtima, pakuti adaali wolemera kwambiri.
Monga inu simudziŵa kuti pa mpikisano wa liŵiro onse amathamanga, koma mmodzi yekha ndiye amalandira mphotho? Tsono kuthamanga kwanu kukhale kwakuti nkukalandira mphothoyo. Aliyense wothamanga pa mpikisano wa liŵiro amadziletsa pa zonse. Iwowo amachita zimenezi kuti akalandire mphotho ya nkhata yamaluŵa yotha kufota. Koma mphotho imene ife tidzalandira, ndi yosafota.
Zoonadi, aliyense atha kuwona kuti ngakhale anthu anzeru amafa. Chimodzimodzi, anthu opusa ndi opulukira ayenera kufa ndi kusiyira ena chuma chao. Manda ao ndiye kwao mpaka muyaya, ndi malo odzakhalako pa mibadwo yonse, ngakhale akadali moyo ankatcha maiko maina ao. Ngakhale munthu akhale wolemera chotani, komabe adzafa chabe ngati nyama zakuthengo.
Mudaphunzira kuti muleke mayendedwe anu akale, muvule moyo wanu wakale uja umene unkadziwononga ndi zilakolako zake zonyenga. Mtima wanu, umene uli gwero la maganizo anu, usanduke watsopano. Ndipo muvale moyo watsopano, umene Mulungu adaulenga, wofanafana naye. Apo mudzakhala olungama ndi oyera mtima kwenikweni.
Usamachitira nsanje anthu ochimwa, kapena kumalakalaka kuti uzimvana nawo, Ukataya mtima pamene upeza zovuta, ndiye kuti mphamvu zako ndi zochepa. Uŵapulumutse amene akutengedwa kuti akaphedwe. Uŵalanditse amene akuyenda movutikira popita kukaŵapha. Ukanena kuti, “Ife sitidazidziŵe zimenezi,” kodi iye amene amayesa mtima, zimenezi saziwona? Kodi amene amayang'anira moyo wako sazidziŵa? Kodi sadzambwezera munthu potsata ntchito zake? Mwana wanga, uzidya uchi poti ndi wabwino, madzi a m'chisa cha njuchi ndi ozuna ukaŵalaŵa. Udziŵe kuti nzeru ndi yoteronso mumtima mwako. Ukaipeza, zinthu zidzakuyendera bwino m'tsogolo, ndipo chikhulupiriro chako sichidzakhala chachabe. Nyumba ya munthu wabwino usaichite zachifwamba ngati munthu woipa mtima, usachite nayo nkhondo nyumba yake. Munthu wabwino amagwa kasanunkaŵiri, koma amadzukirira ndithu, m'menemo anthu oipa tsoka limaŵagwera chonse. Usamakondwerera kugwa kwa mdani wako, mtima wako usamasangalala iyeyo akaphunthwa. Ukatero Chauta adzaziwona zimenezo nadzaipidwa nazo, kenaka adzaleka kumkwiyira mdani wakoyo. Usamavutika chifukwa cha anthu ochita zoipa, usachite nawo nsanje anthu oipa. chifukwa mitima yao imalingalira zandeu, ndipo pakamwa pao pamalankhula zoutsa mavuto.
Tsono abale anga okondedwa, limbikani, khalani osagwedezeka, gwirani ntchito ya Ambuye mwachangu masiku onse, podziŵa kuti ntchito zimene mumagwirira Ambuye sizili zopanda phindu.
Kuwopa Chauta kumabweretsa moyo, ndipo amene amaopayo amakhala pabwino, ndiye kuti choipa sichidzamgwera.
Kudzikuza kwa anthu kudzatha, kudzitama kwa anthu kudzaonongedwa. Chauta yekha ndiye adzapatsidwe ulemu tsiku limenelo.
Musanyozere kumachita zachifundo ndi kumathandizana, chifukwa nsembe zotere zimakondweretsa Mulungu.
Zomwe mukufuna kuti anthu akuchitireni, inuyo muŵachitire zomwezo. Izi ndiye zimene Malamulo a Mose ndiponso aneneri amaphunzitsa.
Mu ufumu wa Mulungu chachikulu si chakudya kapena zakumwa ai, koma chilungamo, mtendere ndi chimwemwe, zimene Mzimu Woyera amapereka.
Chimene ndikufuna kunena ndi ichi: Mulole Mzimu Woyera kuti azikutsogolerani. Mukatero, pamenepo simudzachita zimene khalidwe lanu lokonda zoipa limalakalaka. Pakuti khalidwelo limalakalaka zotsutsana ndi zimene Mzimu Woyera afuna, ndipo zimene Mzimu Woyera afuna zimatsutsana ndi zimene khalidwe lokonda zoipalo limafuna. Ziŵirizi zimadana, kotero kuti simungachite zimene mufuna kuchita.
Chilichonse chimene mungachite, kaya nkulankhula, kaya nkugwira ntchito, muchichite m'dzina la Ambuye Yesu ndi kuthokoza Mulungu Atate kudzera mwa Iye.
Anthu amene ali olemera pa zinthu zapansipano, uŵalamule kuti asanyade kapena kudalira chuma chimene sichidziŵika ngati chidzakhalitsa. Koma azidalira Mulungu amene amatipatsa zonse moolowa manja kuti tisangalale nazo. Uŵalamule kuti azichita zabwino, kuti azikhala olemera pa ntchito zabwino, oolowa manja, ndi okonda kugaŵana zinthu zao ndi anzao. Pakutero adzadziwunjikira chuma chokoma ndi chokhalitsa chimene chidzaŵathandize kutsogoloko, kuti akalandire moyo umene uli moyo weniweni.
Mulungu wanga ali ndi chuma chochuluka, ndipo mwa Khristu Yesu adzakupatsani zonse zimene mukusoŵa.
Kukhala tsiku limodzi m'mabwalo anu nkwabwino kwambiri kupambana kukhala masiku ambiri kwina kulikonse. Nkadakonda kukhala wapakhomo wa Nyumba ya Mulungu wanga kupambana kukhala m'nyumba za anthu oipa.
Samalirani bwino mayendedwe anu. Musayende monga anthu opanda nzeru, koma monga anthu anzeru. Mukhale achangu, osataya nthaŵi yanu pachabe, pakuti masiku ano ngoipa.
Mulungu angathe kukupatsani madalitso onse pakulu, kuti nthaŵi zonse mukhale ndi zokukwanirani inuyo, ndipo zinanso zochuluka kuti mukathandize pa ntchito zonse zabwino.
