08 – Yesu

Ndipo ndidzayika chidani pakati pa iwe ndi mkaziyo, pakati pa mbewu yako ndi mbewu yake; Iye adzaphwanya mutu wako ndipo iwe udzaluma chidendene chake.”

Isake anati kwa abambo ake Abrahamu, “Abambo?” Abrahamu anayankha, “Ee mwana wanga.” Isake anafunsa, “Moto ndi nkhuni zilipo, koma nanga mwana wankhosa wa nsembe yopsereza ali kuti?” Abrahamu anayankha, “Mwana wanga, Mulungu adzipezera yekha mwana wankhosa wa nsembe yopsereza.” Ndipo awiriwo anapitiriza ulendo.

Mulungu anati kwa Mose, “NDINE AMENE NDILI. Izi ndi zimene ukanene kwa Aisraeli: ‘NDINE wandituma kwa inu.’ ”

“Ngati munthu wachimwa mosadziwa pochita chilichonse chimene Yehova salola, munthuyo ndi wopalamula ndithu, ndipo ayenera kulangidwa. Abwere kwa wansembe ndi chopereka chopepesera kupalamula kwake. Chopereka chikhale nkhosa yayimuna yopanda chilema ndipo mtengo wake ukhale woyenera nsembe yopepesera kupalamula kumene anachimwa mosadziwako, ndipo munthuyo adzakhululukidwa.

Koma ndikudziwa kuti mpulumutsi wanga ali ndi moyo, ndipo pa nthawi yomaliza adzabwera kudzanditeteza.

Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Monga mwa “Mbawala yayikazi ya Mmawa.” Salimo la Davide. Mulungu wanga, Mulungu wanga, nʼchifukwa chiyani mwandisiya? Chifuwa chiyani simukundithandiza ndi pangʼono pomwe? Nʼchifukwa chiyani simukumva mawu a kudandaula kwanga?

Ine ndatayika pansi ngati madzi ndipo mafupa anga onse achoka mʼmalo mwake. Mtima wanga wasanduka phula; wasungunuka mʼkati mwanga. Mphamvu zanga zauma ngati phale, ndipo lilime langa lamamatira ku nsagwada; mwandigoneka mʼfumbi la imfa. Agalu andizungulira; gulu la anthu oyipa landizinga. Alasa manja ndi mapazi anga. Ine nditha kuwerenga mafupa anga onse; anthu amandiyangʼanitsitsa ndi kundidzuma. Iwo agawana zovala zanga pakati pawo ndi kuchita maere pa zovala zangazo.

Mʼmanja mwanu ndipereka mzimu wanga; womboleni Yehova Mulungu wachoonadi.

Iye amateteza mafupa ake onse, palibe limodzi la mafupawo limene lidzathyoledwa.

Ngakhale bwenzi langa la pamtima amene ndinamudalira, iye amene amadya pamodzi ndi ine watukula chidendene chake kulimbana nane.

Dzina lake likhazikike kwamuyaya, lipitirire kukhala monga momwe limakhalira dzuwa. Mitundu yonse idzadalitsika kudzera mwa iye ndipo iwo adzamutcha iye wodala.

Ndidzamuyika kuti akhale mwana wanga woyamba kubadwa; wokwezedwa kwambiri pakati pa mafumu a dziko lapansi.

Mwala umene amisiri omanga nyumba anawukana wasanduka wapangodya;

Kodi ndani anakwera kumwamba ndi kutsikako? Ndani anafumbatapo mphepo mʼmanja mwake? Ndani anamanga madzi mʼchovala chake? Ndani anakhazikitsa mathero onse a dziko lapansi? Dzina lake ndani? Ndiwuze ngati ukudziwa! Ndipo mwana wake dzina lake ndani?

Chaka chimene mfumu Uziya anamwalira, ndinaona Ambuye atakhala pa mpando waufumu, wautali ndi wokwezedwa, ndipo mkanjo wawo unali wautali; kotero kuti unadzaza mʼNyumba ya Yehova. Pamwamba pawo panayimirira Aserafi, aliyense anali ndi mapiko asanu ndi limodzi: awiri anaphimba nkhope zawo, awiri anaphimba mapazi awo, ndipo awiri ankawulukira. Ndipo Aserafiwo amafuwulirana kuti “Woyera, woyera, woyera Yehova Wamphamvuzonse. Dziko lonse lapansi ladzaza ndi ulemerero wake.”

Nʼchifukwa chake Ambuye mwini adzakupatsani chizindikiro: Onani, namwali adzakhala woyembekezera ndipo adzabala mwana wamwamuna, ndipo mwanayo adzamutcha Imanueli. Azidzadya chambiko ndi uchi, mpaka atadziwa kukana choyipa ndi kusankha chabwino. Koma nthawi yokana choyipa ndi kusankha chabwino kwa mwanayo isanafike, mayiko a mafumu awiri amene amakuopsaniwo adzakhala atasanduka bwinja.

Anthu oyenda mu mdima awona kuwala kwakukulu; kwa iwo okhala mʼdziko la mdima wandiweyani kuwunika kwawafikira.

Chifukwa mwana watibadwira, mwana wamwamuna wapatsidwa kwa ife, ndipo ulamuliro udzakhala pa phewa lake. Ndipo adzamutcha dzina lake lakuti Phungu Wodabwitsa, Mulungu Wamphamvu, Atate Amuyaya, ndi Mfumu ya Mtendere. Ulamuliro ndi mtendere wake zidzakhala zopanda malire. Iye adzalamulira ufumu wake ali pa mpando waufumu wa Davide, ndipo adzawukhazikitsa ndi kuwuchirikiza mwa chiweruzo cholungama ndi pochita zachilungamo kuyambira nthawi imeneyo mpaka muyaya. Ndi mtima wake wonse, Yehova Wamphamvuzonse watsimikiza kuchita zimenezi.

Padzatuluka mphukira pa tsinde la Yese ndipo nthambi idzaphukira kuchokera ku mizu yake. Mzimu wa Yehova udzakhala pa iye Mzimu wanzeru ndi wa kumvetsa zinthu, Mzimu wauphungu ndi wamphamvu, Mzimu wachidziwitso ndi wakuopa Yehova.

Sipadzakhala chilichonse chopweteka kapena chowononga pa phiri lopatulika la Yehova, pakuti anthu a dziko lapansi adzadzaza ndi nzeru yotha kudziwa Yehova monga momwe nyanja imadzazira ndi madzi. Tsiku limenelo mfumu yatsopano yochokera pa Muzu wa Yese idzakhala ngati chizindikiro kwa anthu a mitundu yonse. Mitundu ya anthu idzasonkhana kwa Iye, ndipo malo awo okhalapo adzakhala aulemerero.

Pamenepo maso a anthu osaona adzapenyanso ndipo makutu a anthu osamva adzatsekuka. Anthu olumala adzalumpha ngati mbawala, ndipo osayankhula adzayimba mokondwera. Akasupe adzatumphuka mʼchipululu ndipo mitsinje idzayenda mʼdziko lowuma,

“Nayu mtumiki wanga, amene ndimamuchirikiza, amene ndamusankha, amenenso ndimakondwera naye. Ndayika Mzimu wanga mwa Iyeyo, ndipo adzaweruza anthu a mitundu yonse mwachilungamo.

“Yehova Mfumu ndi Mpulumutsi wa Israeli, Yehova Wamphamvuzonse akuti: Ine ndine woyamba ndi wotsiriza; palibenso Mulungu wina koma Ine ndekha.

Ndinapereka msana wanga kwa ondimenya masaya anga ndinawapereka kwa anthu ondizula ndevu; sindinawabisire nkhope yanga anthu ondinyoza ndi ondilavulira.

Taonani, mtumiki wanga adzapambana pa ntchito yake adzakwezedwa ndi kulemekezedwa ndipo adzalandira ulemu waukulu kwambiri. Anthu ambiri atamuona anadzidzimuka, chifukwa nkhope yake inali itasakazika; sinalinso ngati ya munthu. Ndipo thupi lake linasakazika; silinalinso ngati la munthu. Momwemonso anthu a mitundu yonse adzadodoma naye, ndipo mafumu adzatseka pakamwa pawo kusowa chonena chifukwa cha iye. Pakuti zinthu zimene iwo sanawuzidwepo, adzaziona, ndipo zimene sanazimvepo, adzazimvetsa.

Ndani wakhulupirira zimene tanenazi; kapena ndani amene Yehova wamuzindikiritsa mphamvu zake? Iye anakula ngati mphukira pamaso pake, ndiponso ngati muzu mʼnthaka yowuma. Iye analibe thupi labwino kapena nkhope yokongola yoti ife nʼkumamuchewukira, analibe maonekedwe woti ife nʼkumamukhumbira. Iye ananyozedwa ndi kukanidwa ndi anthu, munthu amene moyo wake unali wamasautso, wozolowera zowawa, ndipo anali ngati munthu amene anzake amaphimba nkhope zawo akamuona. Iye ananyozedwa, ndipo ife sitinamuyese kanthu. Ndithudi, iye anamva zowawa mʼmalo mwa ife; ndipo anasautsidwa mʼmalo mwathu. Koma ife tinkaganiza kuti ndi Mulungu amene akumulanga, kumukantha ndi kumusautsa. Koma iye analasidwa chifukwa cha zolakwa zathu, ndipo anamuzunza chifukwa cha zoyipa zathu; iye analangidwa kuti ife tikhale ndi mtendere, ndipo ndi mabala ake ife tinachiritsidwa. Ife tonse, ngati nkhosa, tasochera, aliyense mwa ife akungodziyendera; ndipo Yehova wamusenzetsa zoyipa zathu zonse. Anthu anamuzunza ndi kumusautsa, koma sanayankhule kanthu. Monga mwana wankhosa wopita naye kokamupha amachitira, kapena monga nkhosa imakhalira duu poyimeta, momwemonso iye sanatsekule pakamwa pake. Atatha kumugwira mwankhanza ndikumuyimba mlandu, kenaka anapita naye kukamupha. Ndipo ndani amene analabadirako za zidzukulu zake, poona kuti iye anachotsedwa mʼdziko la anthu amoyo? Ndani anaganizirapo poona kuti iye anakanthidwa chifukwa cha zolakwa za anthu anga? Anamukonzera manda ake pamodzi ndi anthu oyipa ndipo anamuyika mʼmanda pamodzi ndi anthu achuma, ngakhale kuti iye sanachite za chiwawa, kapena kuyankhula za chinyengo. Komatu ndi Yehova amene anafuna kuti amuzunze ndi kumusautsa. Yehova anapereka moyo wa mtumiki wake kuti ukhale nsembe yoperekedwa chifukwa cha zolakwa. Tsono iye adzaona zidzukulu zake ndipo adzakhala ndi moyo wautali, ndipo chifuniro cha Yehova chidzachitika mwa iye. Atatha mazunzo a moyo wake, adzaona kuwala, ndipo adzakhutira. Mwa nzeru zake mtumiki wanga wolungamayo adzalungamitsa anthu ambiri, popeza adzasenza zolakwa zawo. Motero Ine ndidzamupatsa ulemu pamodzi ndi akuluakulu, adzagawana zofunkha ndi ankhondo amphamvu, popeza anapereka moyo wake mpaka kufa, ndipo anamuyika mʼgulu la anthu olakwa kuti akhululukidwe. Pakuti iye anasenza machimo a anthu ambiri, ndipo anawapempherera anthu olakwa.

Mzimu wa Ambuye Yehova uli pa ine, chifukwa Yehova wandidzoza kuti ndilalikire uthenga wabwino kwa anthu osauka. Wandituma kuti ndikatonthoze anthu osweka mtima, ndikalengeze kwa akapolo kuti alandire ufulu ndiponso kuti ndikamasule a mʼndende. Wandituma kuti ndikalengeze nthawi imene Yehova adzapulumutsa anthu ake; za tsiku limene Yehova adzalanga adani a anthu ake. Wandituma kuti ndikatonthoze olira. Wandituma kuti ndiwakonzere olira a ku Ziyoni, nkhata ya maluwa yokongola mʼmalo mwa phulusa, ndiwapatse mafuta achikondwerero mʼmalo mwa kulira. Ndiwapatse chovala cha matamando mʼmalo mwa mtima wopsinjika. Ndipo iwo adzatchedwa mitengo ya thundu yamphamvu yachilungamo, yoyidzala Yehova kuti Iye mwini apezemo ulemerero wake.

Yehova akuti, “Masiku akubwera, pamene ndidzaphukitsira Davide Nthambi yowongoka. Imeneyi ndiye mfumu imene idzalamulira mwanzeru, mwachilungamo ndi mosakondera mʼdziko.

“Masiku akubwera,” akutero Yehova, “pamene ndidzachita pangano latsopano ndi Aisraeli ndiponso nyumba ya Yuda. Silidzakhala ngati pangano limene ndinachita ndi makolo awo pamene ndinawagwira padzanja nʼkuwatulutsa ku Igupto; chifukwa anaphwanya pangano langa, ngakhale ndinali mwamuna wawo,” akutero Yehova. “Ili ndi pangano limene ndidzachita ndi Aisraeli atapita masiku amenewo,” akutero Yehova. “Ndidzayika lamulo langa mʼmitima mwawo ndi kulilemba mʼmaganizo mwawo. Ine ndidzakhala Mulungu wawo ndipo iwo adzakhala anthu anga. Sipadzafunikanso kuti wina aphunzitse mnzake, kapena munthu wina kuphunzitsa mʼbale wake, kunena kuti, ‘Mudziwe Yehova,’ chifukwa onse adzandidziwa Ine, kuyambira wamngʼono mpaka wamkulu,” akutero Yehova. “Ndidzawakhululukira zoyipa zawo ndipo sindidzakumbukiranso machimo awo.”

“Pa nthawi ya mafumu amenewo, Mulungu wakumwamba adzakhazikitsa ufumu umene sudzawonongedwa, kapenanso kuperekedwa kwa anthu ena. Udzawononga maufumu onse aja ndi kuwatheratu, koma iwo wokha udzakhalapobe mpaka muyaya.

Kenaka mfumu Nebukadinezara anadabwa ndipo anafunsa nduna zake kuti, “Kodi sanali amuna atatu amene anamangidwa ndi kuponyedwa mʼmoto?” Iwo anayankha kuti, “Ndi zoonadi, mfumu.” Iye anati, “Taonani! Ndikuona amuna anayi akuyendayenda mʼmoto, osamangidwa ndi osapwetekedwa ndipo wachinayi akuoneka ngati mwana wa milungu.”

“Ine ndikuyangʼanabe ndinaona “mipando yaufumu ikukhazikitsidwa, ndipo Mkulu Wachikhalire anakhala pa mpando wake. Zovala zake zinali zoyera ngati chisanu chowundana; tsitsi la kumutu kwake linali loyera ngati thonje. Mpando wake waufumu unali wonga malawi a moto, ndipo mikombero yake yonse inkayaka moto. Mtsinje wa moto unkayenda, kuchokera patsogolo pake. Anthu miyandamiyanda ankamutumikira; ndipo anthu osawerengeka anayima pamaso pake. Abwalo anakhala malo awo, ndipo mabuku anatsekulidwa.

“Ndikuyangʼanabe zinthu mʼmasomphenya usiku, ndinaona wina ngati mwana wa munthu, akubwera ndi mitambo ya kumwamba. Anayandikira Mkulu Wachikhalire uja. Ena anamuperekeza kwa Iye. Anapatsidwa ulamuliro, ulemerero ndi mphamvu za ufumu kuti anthu a mitundu ina yonse, mayiko ndi anthu aziyankhulo zosiyanasiyana apembedze iye. Mphamvu zake ndi mphamvu zamuyaya zimene sizidzatha, ndipo ufumu wake sudzawonongeka konse.

“Tsono udziwe ndipo uzindikire izi kuti kuyambira pamene lamulo linaperekedwa kuti Yerusalemu akonzedwenso mpaka pamene mfumu Yodzozedwa idzafike padzapita zaka 49. Pa zaka 434 mzinda wa Yerusalemu udzamangidwanso, ndipo mabwalo ndi ngalande zake zidzatetezedwa. Koma nthawiyi idzakhala ya masautso. Patatha zaka 434, Wodzozedwayo adzaphedwa ndipo sadzakhala ndi aliyense. Anthu a wolamulira amene adzabwere adzawononga mzinda ndi Nyumba ya Mulungu. Kutha kwake kudzafika ngati chigumula. Komabe nkhondo idzapitirira mpaka chiwonongeko chimene Mulungu ananeneratu chitachitika.

“Koma iwe Betelehemu Efurata, ngakhale uli wonyozeka pakati pa mafuko a Yuda, mwa iwe mudzatuluka munthu amene adzalamulira Israeli, amene chiyambi chake nʼchakalekale, nʼchamasiku amakedzana.”

Iye adzalimbika, ndipo adzaweta nkhosa zake mwa mphamvu ya Yehova, mu ulemerero wa dzina la Yehova Mulungu wake. Ndipo iwo adzakhala mu mtendere, pakuti ukulu wake udzakhala ponseponse pa dziko lapansi.

‘Ulemerero wa nyumba iyi udzaposa ulemerero wa nyumba yoyamba ija,’ akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse. ‘Ndipo pamalo pano ndidzakhazikitsapo mtendere,’ akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.”

Sangalala kwambiri, iwe mwana wamkazi wa Ziyoni! Fuwula, mwana wamkazi wa Yerusalemu! Taona, mfumu yako ikubwera kwa iwe, yolungama ndi yogonjetsa adani, yodzichepetsa ndi yokwera pa bulu, pa mwana wamphongo wa bulu.

Ndipo Yehova anandiwuza kuti, “Ziponye kwa wowumba mbiya,” mtengo woyenera umene anapereka pondigula Ine! Choncho ndinatenga ndalama zasiliva makumi atatu ndi kuziponya mʼnyumba ya Yehova kwa wowumba mbiya.

“Ndipo pa nyumba ya Davide ndi pa anthu okhala mu Yerusalemu ndidzakhuthulirapo mzimu wachisomo ndi wopemphera. Iwo adzandiyangʼana Ine, amene anamubaya, ndipo adzamulirira kwambiri monga momwe munthu amalirira mwana wake mmodzi yekhayo, ndiponso adzamva chisoni kwambiri monga momwe amachitira ndi mwana woyamba kubadwa.

Ngati wina adzamufunsa, ‘Zilonda zili mʼthupi lakoli ndi chiyani?’ Iye adzayankha kuti, ‘Zilondazi ndinazilandira mʼnyumba ya abwenzi anga.’ “Dzambatuka iwe lupanga, ukanthe mʼbusa wanga, ukanthe munthu amene ali pafupi ndi Ine!” akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse. Kantha mʼbusa ndipo nkhosa zidzabalalika, ndipo ndidzatambalitsa dzanja langa kuwononga zazingʼono.

Buku lofotokoza za mʼbado wa Yesu Khristu mwana wa Davide, mwana wa Abrahamu:

Yakobo anabereka Yosefe, mwamuna wa Mariya. Mariyayu ndiye anabereka Yesu wotchedwa Khristu.

Kuyambira pa Abrahamu mpaka pa Davide, pali mibado khumi ndi inayi. Ndipo kuyambira pa Davide mpaka pamene Ayuda anatengedwa kupita ku ukapolo ku Babuloni, pali mibado khumi ndi inayi. Ndiponso kuyambira nthawi ya ukapolo ku Babuloni mpaka pamene Khristu anabadwa, palinso mibado khumi ndi inayi.

Kubadwa kwa Yesu Khristu kunali motere: Amayi ake, Mariya, anapalidwa ubwenzi ndi Yosefe, koma asanagone malo amodzi, anapezeka ali woyembekezera mwana mwa mphamvu ya Mzimu Woyera.

Ndipo adzabala mwana wamwamuna, udzamutcha dzina lake Yesu; pakuti Iyeyo adzapulumutsa anthu ake ku machimo awo.” Zonsezi zinachitika kukwaniritsa zimene Ambuye ananena mwa mneneri kuti, “Onani namwali adzakhala woyembekezera ndipo adzabala mwana wamwamuna, ndipo mwanayo adzamutcha Imanueli,” kutanthauza kuti, “Mulungu ali nafe.”

Koma sanagone malo amodzi mpaka mwanayo atabadwa ndipo anamutcha dzina lake Yesu.

Atabadwa Yesu mʼBetelehemu wa ku Yudeya, mʼnthawi ya mfumu Herode, Anzeru a kummawa anabwera ku Yerusalemu nafunsa kuti, “Ali kuti amene wabadwa kukhala mfumu ya Ayuda? Chifukwa tinaona nyenyezi yake kummawa ndipo tabwera kudzamupembedza.” Mfumu Herode atamva zimenezi, anavutika mu mtima kwambiri pamodzi ndi anthu onse a mu Yerusalemu. Ndipo anayitanitsa anthu onse, akulu ansembe ndi aphunzitsi amalamulo nawafunsa kuti, “Kodi Khristu adzabadwira kuti?” Ndipo anamuyankha kuti, “Ku Betelehemu wa ku Yudeya chifukwa izi ndi zimene mneneri analemba kuti, “ ‘Koma iwe Betelehemu, chigawo cha Yudeya, sindiwe wamngʼonongʼono mwa olamulira a Yudeya; pakuti otsogolera adzachokera mwa iwe, amene adzaweta anthu anga Aisraeli.’ ”

Pofika ku nyumbayo, anaona mwanayo pamodzi ndi amayi ake Mariya, ndipo anagwada namulambira Iye. Pomwepo anamasula chuma chawo ndi kupereka mphatso zawo za ndalama zagolide, lubani ndi mure.

“Ine ndikubatizani ndi madzi kusonyeza kutembenuka mtima. Koma pambuyo panga akubwera wina amene ali ndi mphamvu kuposa ine, amene sindiyenera kunyamula nsapato zake. Iyeyu adzakubatizani ndi Mzimu Woyera ndi moto. Mʼdzanja lake muli chopetera ndipo adzayeretsa popunthirapo pake nadzathira tirigu wake mʼnkhokwe ndi kutentha zotsalira zonse ndi moto wosazima.”

Pamenepo Yesu anabwera kuchokera ku Galileya kudzabatizidwa ndi Yohane mu mtsinje wa Yorodani. Koma Yohane anayesetsa kumukanira nati, “Ndiyenera kubatizidwa ndi Inu, bwanji Inu mubwera kwa ine?” Yesu anayankha kuti, “Zibatero tsopano, ndi koyenera kwa ife kuchita zimenezi kukwaniritsa chilungamo chonse.” Ndipo Yohane anavomera. Yesu atangobatizidwa, nthawi yomweyo potuluka mʼmadzi, kumwamba kunatsekuka ndipo taonani, Mzimu wa Mulungu anatsika ngati nkhunda natera pa Iye. Ndipo mawu anamveka kuchokera kumwamba kuti, “Uyu ndiye mwana wanga wokondedwa amene ndikondwera naye.”

Pambuyo pake Yesu anatsogozedwa ndi Mzimu Woyera kupita ku chipululu kukayesedwa ndi mdierekezi. Ndipo atasala kudya masiku makumi anayi usana ndi usiku, anamva njala.

Kuyambira nthawi imeneyo, Yesu anayamba kulalikira nati, “Tembenukani mtima ufumu wakumwamba wayandikira.”

Yesu anayendayenda mu Galileya kuphunzitsa mʼmasunagoge awo, nalalikira Uthenga Wabwino wa ufumu ndi kuchiritsa matenda onse pakati pa anthu. Mbiri yake yonse inawanda ku Siriya konse ndipo anthu anabweretsa kwa Iye onse amene anali odwala nthenda zosiyanasiyana, womva maululu aakulu, ogwidwa ndi ziwanda, odwala matenda akugwa ndi olumala ndipo Iye anawachiritsa. Magulu ambiri a anthu anachokera ku Galileya, Dekapoli, Yerusalemu, Yudeya ndi ku madera a kutsidya la mtsinje wa Yorodani namutsata Iye.

“Musaganize kuti ndinadza kudzathetsa malamulo kapena zonena za aneneri; sindinabwere kudzathetsa koma kukwaniritsa.

“Nʼchifukwa chake ndikuwuzani kuti musadere nkhawa za moyo wanu kuti mudzadya chiyani kapena mudzamwa chiyani; kapenanso za thupi lanu kuti mudzavala chiyani. Kodi moyo suposa chakudya? Kodi thupi siliposa zovala?

“Si munthu aliyense amene amanena kwa Ine, ‘Ambuye, Ambuye,’ adzalowe mu ufumu wakumwamba, koma ndi yekhayo amene amachita chifuniro cha Atate anga amene ali kumwamba.

Yesu anayankha kuti, “Nkhandwe zili ndi mapanga ndi mbalame zamlengalenga zili ndi zisa, koma Mwana wa Munthu alibe malo ogona ngakhale potsamira mutu wake.”

Ndipo ophunzirawo anadabwa nafunsa kuti, “Ndi munthu wotani uyu? Kuti ngakhale mphepo ndi mafunde zimvera Iye!”

Ndipo podziwa maganizo awo Yesu anati, “Bwanji mukuganiza zoyipa mʼmitima mwanu?

Tsono kuti mudziwe kuti Mwana wa Munthu ali ndi ulamuliro pa dziko wokhululuka machimo, pamenepo anati kwa wakufa ziwaloyo, ‘Imirira, tenga mphasa yako kazipita kwanu.’ ”

Yesu anayendayenda mʼmizinda yonse ndi mʼmidzi, kuphunzitsa mʼmasunagoge awo, nalalikira Uthenga Wabwino wa ufumu ndi kuchiritsa nthenda zawo zonse ndi zofowoka za mʼmatupi mwawo.

Yesu anayitana ophunzira ake khumi ndi awiri ndipo anawapatsa ulamuliro otulutsa mizimu yoyipa ndi kuchiritsa nthenda iliyonse ndi zofowoka zilizonse.

Anthu onse adzada inu chifukwa cha Ine, koma iye amene apirira mpaka kumapeto, adzapulumuka.

“Aliyense amene avomereza Ine pamaso pa anthu, Inenso ndidzavomereza pamaso pa Atate anga akumwamba. Koma iye amene andikana Ine pamaso pa anthu, Inenso ndidzamukana pamaso pa Atate anga akumwamba.

“Musaganize kuti Ine ndabweretsa mtendere pa dziko lapansi. Sindinabwere kudzapereka mtendere koma lupanga. Pakuti Ine ndabwera kudzalekanitsa “ ‘Munthu ndi abambo ake, mwana wamkazi ndi amayi ake, mtengwa kulekanitsidwa ndi apongozi ake,

“Aliyense amene akonda abambo kapena amayi ake koposa Ine sayenera kukhala wanga; aliyense amene akonda mwana wake wamwamuna kapena wamkazi koposa Ine sayenera kukhala wanga. Aliyense amene satenga mtanda wake ndi kunditsata Ine sayenera kukhala wanga.

Mwana wa Munthu anabwera ndi kumadya ndi kumwa koma iwo akuti, ‘Munthu wadyera, woledzera, bwenzi la amisonkho ndi bwenzi la ochimwa.’ Koma nzeru imatsimikizika kuti ndi yolondola mwa ntchito zake.”

“Zinthu zonse zapatsidwa kwa Ine ndi Atate anga. Palibe mmodzi amene adziwa Mwana kupatula Atate ndipo palibe mmodzi amene adziwa Atate kupatula Mwana ndi kwa iwo amene Mwana awasankha kuwawululira.

“Idzani kwa Ine, inu nonse otopa ndi olemedwa ndipo Ine ndidzakupatsani mpumulo. Senzani goli langa ndipo phunzirani kwa Ine, pakuti ndine wofatsa ndi wodzichepetsa. Ndipo inu mudzapeza mpumulo wa miyoyo yanu. Pakuti goli langa ndi losavuta ndipo katundu wanga ndi wopepuka.”

Pakuti Mwana wa Munthu ndiye Mbuye wa Sabata.”

Ndipo akunja adzakhulupirira dzina lake.”

Pomwepo anthu anabwera naye kwa Yesu munthu wogwidwa ndi chiwanda amene anali wosaona ndi wosamva ndipo Yesu anamuchiritsa kotero kuti atatha anayamba kumva ndi kuona. Anthu onse anadabwa ndipo anati, “Kodi uyu ndi kukhala mwana wa Davide?”

Yesu anadziwa maganizo awo ndipo anawawuza kuti, “Ufumu uliwonse ukagawanika mwa iwo udzawonongeka ndi mzinda uliwonse kapena banja likagawanika, mwa izo zokha sizidzayima.

Koma ngati Ine ndimatulutsa ziwanda ndi Mzimu wa Mulungu, pamenepo ufumu wa Mulungu wafika pa inu.

Pakuti monga Yona anali mʼmimba mwa nsomba yayikulu masiku atatu, usana ndi usiku, momwemonso Mwana wa Munthu adzakhala masiku atatu, usana ndi usiku, mʼkati mwa nthaka.

Pakuti aliyense amene achita chifuniro cha Atate anga akumwamba ndiye mʼbale wanga, mlongo wanga ndi amayi anga.”

Mwana wa Munthu adzatumiza angelo ake ndipo iwo adzachotsa mu ufumu wake chilichonse chochimwitsa ndi onse amene amachita zoyipa.

Analamula anthu kuti akhale pansi pa udzu ndipo anatenga buledi musanu ndi nsomba ziwiri nayangʼana kumwamba, nayamika nagawa bulediyo. Kenaka anapereka bulediyo kwa ophunzira ake ndipo ophunzirawo anagawira anthu. Onse anadya nakhuta ndipo ophunzira anatola zotsalira ndi kudzaza madengu khumi ndi awiri. Chiwerengero cha amene anadya kupatulako amayi ndi ana chinali pafupifupi amuna 5,000.

Pa ora lachinayi usiku, Yesu anabwera kwa iwo akuyendabe pa nyanja. Ophunzira atamuona akuyenda pa nyanja, anaopa nati, “Ndi mzukwa!” Ndipo analira chifukwa cha mantha.

Pamenepo amene anali mʼbwato anamulambira Iye, nati, “Zoonadi, Inu ndinu Mwana wa Mulungu.”

Anthu akumeneko atamuzindikira Yesu, iwo anatumiza mawu kwa onse ozungulira deralo. Anthu anabwera ndi odwala awo onse kwa Iye. Ndipo anamupempha alole kuti akhudze mphonje ya mkanjo wake, ndipo onse amene anamukhudza anachiritsidwa.

Gulu lalikulu la anthu linabwera kwa Iye ndi anthu olumala, osaona, ofa ziwalo, osayankhula ndi ena ambiri nawagoneka pa mapazi ake ndipo Iye anawachiritsa.

Kenaka anatenga malofu asanu ndi awiri aja ndi tinsombato ndipo atayamika anagawa napatsa ophunzira ake ndipo iwo anagawira anthuwo. Onse anadya ndipo anakhuta. Pomaliza ophunzira anatolera zotsalira nadzaza madengu asanu ndi awiri. Chiwerengero cha anthu amene anadya chinali 4,000 kupatula amayi ndi ana.

Simoni Petro anayankha kuti, “Inu ndinu Khristu, Mwana wa Mulungu wamoyo.”

Pamenepo Iye anachenjeza ophunzira ake kuti asawuze wina aliyense kuti ndi Khristu.

Kuyambira nthawi imeneyo Yesu anayamba kuwafotokozera ophunzira ake kuti Iye ayenera kupita ku Yerusalemu ndi kukazunzidwa kwambiri mʼmanja mwa akulu a ansembe ndi aphunzitsi amalamulo kuti ayenera kuphedwa, ndi kuti tsiku lachitatu adzaukitsidwa.

Pakuti Mwana wa Munthu adzabwera mu ulemerero wa Atate ake ndi angelo ake ndipo pamenepo Iye adzapereka mphotho kwa munthu mofanana ndi zimene anachita.

Pamenepo Iye anasinthika maonekedwe ake pamaso pawo. Nkhope yake inawala ngati dzuwa ndipo zovala zake zinayera kuti mbuu.

Iye akuyankhulabe, mtambo owala unawaphimba, ndipo mawu ochokera mu mtambo anati, “Uyu ndiye Mwana wanga amene ndimukonda ndipo ndikondwera naye kwambiri. Mumumvere Iye!”

Atasonkhana pamodzi ku Galileya, Iye anawawuza kuti, “Mwana wa Munthu akupita kukaperekedwa mʼmanja mwa anthu. Iwo adzamupha koma pa tsiku lachitatu adzaukitsidwa.” Ndipo ophunzira anadzazidwa ndi chisoni.

“Onetsetsani kuti musanyoze mmodzi wa anawa. Pakuti ndikuwuzani kuti angelo awo kumwamba amakhala pamaso pa Atate anga akumwamba nthawi zonse.” (Mwana wa Munthu anabwera kudzapulumutsa chimene chinatayika).

Pakuti pamene awiri kapena atatu asonkhana pamodzi mʼdzina langa, Ine ndili nawo pomwepo.”

Yesu anayankha kuti, “Ngati ukufuna kukhala wangwiro, pita kagulitse katundu wako ndi kupereka kwa osauka, ndipo udzakhala ndi chuma kumwamba. Ukakachita zimenezi, ukabwere udzanditsate Ine.”

“Tikupita ku Yerusalemu, ndipo Mwana wa Munthu adzaperekedwa kwa akulu a ansembe ndi aphunzitsi amalamulo. Iwo adzamuweruza kuti aphedwe, ndipo adzamupereka kwa anthu a mitundu ina kuti amunyoze ndi kumukwapula ndi kumupachika. Pa tsiku lachitatu adzaukitsidwa!”

Momwenso Mwana wa Munthu sanabwere kudzatumikiridwa, koma kudzatumikira, ndi kupereka moyo wake kukhala dipo la anthu ambiri.”

Gulu lalikulu la anthu linayala zovala zawo mu msewu pamene ena anadula nthambi zamitengo ndi kuziyala mu msewumo. Magulu amene anali patsogolo pake ndi amene amamutsatira anafuwula kuti, “Hosana Mwana wa Davide!” “Wodala Iye amene abwera mʼdzina la Ambuye!” “Hosana mmwambamwamba!”

Yesu analowa mʼdera lina la Nyumba ya Mulungu ndipo anatulutsa kunja anthu onse amene ankachita malonda. Anagubuduza matebulo a osinthira ndalama ndi mipando ya ogulitsa nkhunda. Iye anawawuza kuti, “Zinalembedwa kuti Nyumba yanga idzatchedwa Nyumba ya mapemphero koma inu mwayisandutsa phanga la anthu achifwamba.” Anthu osaona ndi olumala anabwera kwa Iye mʼNyumba ya Mulungu ndipo anawachiritsa. Koma akulu a ansembe ndi aphunzitsi amalamulo ataona zodabwitsa zimene anachita, komanso ana akufuwula mʼNyumbayo kuti, “Hosana kwa Mwana wa Davide,” anapsa mtima.

Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Kodi simunawerenge mʼmalemba kuti: “ ‘Mwala umene omanga nyumba anawukana, womwewo wasanduka mwala wofunika kwambiri wa pa ngodya. Ambuye wachita izi, ndipo ndi zodabwitsa mʼmaso mwathu.’ “Nʼchifukwa chake ndi kukuwuzani kuti ufumu wa Mulungu udzalandidwa kwa inu ndipo udzapatsidwa kwa anthu amene adzabereka chipatso chake. Amene agwa pa mwalawu adzadukaduka, ndipo amene udzamugwere udzamuthudzula.”

Afarisi atasonkhana pamodzi, Yesu anawafunsa kuti, “Kodi mukuganiza bwanji za Khristu? Ndi Mwana wa ndani?” Iwo anayankha kuti, “Mwana wa Davide.” Iye anawawuza kuti, “Nanga zikutheka bwanji kuti Davide poyankhula mwa Mzimu Woyera amatchula Iye ‘Ambuye?’ Pakuti akuti, “Ambuye anati kwa Ambuye wanga: ‘Khala pa dzanja langa lamanja mpaka ndiyike adani ako pansi pa mapazi ako.’ Ngati tsono Davide amamutchula ‘Ambuye,’ zingatheke bwanji kukhala mwana wake?” Panalibe wina anatha kuyankha, ndipo kuchokera pamenepo, panalibe wina anayerekeza kumufunsa funso.

Komanso musamatchedwenso ‘Mtsogoleri,’ pakuti muli naye Mtsogoleri mmodzi amene ndi Khristu.

“Pamenepo adzakuperekani kuti mukazunzidwe ndi kuphedwa, ndipo mitundu yonse idzakudani chifukwa cha Ine.

Monga momwe mphenzi ingʼanima kuchokera kummawa kupita kumadzulo, momwemonso kudzakhala kubwera kwa Mwana wa Munthu.

“Pa nthawi imeneyo chizindikiro cha Mwana wa Munthu chidzaoneka mlengalenga, ndipo mitundu yonse ya pa dziko lapansi idzalira. Idzaona Mwana wa Munthu akubwera ndi mitambo, mphamvu ndi ulemerero waukulu.

Kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi zidzatha, koma mawu anga sadzatha.”

“Pamene Mwana wa Munthu adzabwera mu ulemerero wake, pamodzi ndi angelo ake onse, adzakhala pa mpando waufumu mu ulemerero wakumwamba. Mitundu yonse ya anthu idzasonkhanitsidwa pamaso pake, ndipo adzawalekanitsa iwo wina ndi mnzake monga mʼbusa amalekanitsa nkhosa ndi mbuzi. Adzayika nkhosa ku dzanja lake lamanja ndi mbuzi ku lamanzere. “Pamenepo mfumu idzati kwa a ku dzanja lamanja, ‘Bwerani inu odalitsika ndi Atate anga; landirani ufumu umene unakonzedwa chifukwa cha inu kuyambira pachiyambi cha dziko.

Pamene ankadya, Yesu anatenga buledi, nayamika ndipo anamunyema nagawira ophunzira ake nanena kuti, “Tengani, idyani; ili ndi thupi langa.” Kenaka anatenga chikho, nayamika nachipereka kwa iwo nati, “Imwani nonsenu. Awa ndi magazi anga a pangano amene akhetsedwa chifukwa cha ambiri kuti akhululukidwe machimo. Ndikuwuzani kuti sindidzamwanso kuchokera ku chipatso cha mtengo wa mpesa kuyambira lero mpaka tsiku ilo pamene ndidzamwenso mwatsopano ndi inu mu ufumu wa Atate anga.”

Pamenepo anawawuza kuti, “Moyo wanga uli ndi chisoni chofa nacho. Khalani pano ndipo dikirani pamodzi ndi Ine.”

Kodi mukuganiza kuti sindingathe kupempha Atate anga ndipo nthawi yomweyo nʼkundipatsa magulu a angelo oposa khumi ndi awiri? Koma nanga malemba akwaniritsidwa bwanji amene akuti ziyenera kuchitika motere?”

Koma Yesu anakhalabe chete. Mkulu wa ansembe anati kwa Iye, “Ndikulamulira Iwe ndi lumbiro pamaso pa Mulungu wa Moyo: utiwuze ife ngati ndiwe Khristu Mwana wa Mulungu.” Yesu anayankha nati, “Mwanena ndinu. Koma ndikunena kwa inu nonse: mʼtsogolomo mudzaona Mwana wa Munthu atakhala kudzanja lamanja la Wamphamvuzonse ndipo akubwera ndi mitambo ya kumwamba.”

Kenaka anamulavulira kumaso namumenya ndi zibakera. Ena anamumenya makofi. Ndipo anati, “Tanenera kwa ife, Khristu. Wakumenya ndani?”

Pa nthawi yomweyo Yesu anayimirira pamaso pa bwanamkubwa ndipo bwanamkubwayo anamufunsa Iye kuti, “Kodi ndiwe Mfumu ya Ayuda?” Koma Yesu anayankha kuti, “Mwanena ndinu.”

Gulu la anthu litasonkhana, Pilato anawafunsa kuti, “Ndi ndani amene mufuna kuti ndikumasulireni; Baraba kapena Yesu wotchedwa Khristu?”

Pilato anafunsa kuti, “Nanga ndichite chiyani ndi Yesu wotchedwa Khristu?” Onse anayankha kuti “Mpachikeni!”

Anamuvula malaya ake namuveka Iye malaya ofiira aufumu. Ndipo kenaka analuka chipewa chaminga nachiyika pa mutu pake. Anamugwiritsa ndodo mʼdzanja lake lamanja nagwada pamaso pake namuchitira chipongwe nati, “Tikulonjereni Mfumu ya Ayuda.” Anamuthira malovu ndipo anatenga ndodo namumenya nayo pa mutu mobwerezabwereza. Atamaliza kumuchitira chipongwe, anamuvula malaya aja namuveka malaya ake aja napita naye kokamupachika.

Pamwamba pa mutu wake analembapo mawu osonyeza mlandu wake akuti, “UYU NDI YESU, MFUMU YA AYUDA.”

Chimodzimodzinso akulu a ansembe, aphunzitsi amalamulo ndi akuluakulu anamuchitira chipongwe. Iwo anati, “Anapulumutsa ena koma sangathe kudzipulumutsa yekha! Ndi mfumu ya Israeli! Mulekeni atsike pa mtanda ndipo tidzamukhulupirira Iye. Amadalira Mulungu, mulekeni Mulunguyo amupulumutse tsopano ngati akumufuna pakuti anati, ‘Ndine Mwana wa Mulungu.’ ”

Ndipo nthawi ili ngati 3 koloko, Yesu analira mofuwula nati, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabakitani!” Kutanthauza kuti, “Mulungu Wanga, Mulungu Wanga, mwandisiyiranji Ine?”

Ndipo pamene Yesu analiranso mofuwula, anapereka mzimu wake. Pa nthawi imeneyo chinsalu chotchinga cha mʼNyumba ya Mulungu chinangʼambika pakati kuyambira pamwamba mpaka pansi. Dziko linagwedezeka ndipo miyala inangʼambika. Manda anatsekuka ndipo mitembo yambiri ya anthu oyera mtima amene anafa inaukitsidwa. Anatuluka mʼmanda mwawo, ndipo chitachitika chiukitso cha Yesu, anapita mu mzinda woyera naonekera kwa anthu ambiri. Mkulu wa asilikali ndi amene ankalondera Yesu ataona chivomerezi ndi zonse zinachitika, anachita mantha, ndipo anati, “Zoonadi, uyu anali Mwana wa Mulungu!”

Kunachitika chivomerezi chachikulu, pakuti mngelo wa Ambuye anabwera kuchokera kumwamba ndipo anapita ku manda, nakagubuduza mwala nawukhalira. Maonekedwe ake anali ngati mphenzi ndipo zovala zake zinali mbuu ngati matalala. Alondawo anachita naye mantha kwambiri kotero kuti ananjenjemera ndi kuwuma ngati akufa. Mngelo anati kwa amayiwo, “Musachite mantha popeza ndikudziwa kuti mukufuna Yesu amene anapachikidwa. Iye muno mulibe, wauka monga mmene ananenera. Bwerani, dzaoneni malo amene anagona. Ndipo pitani msanga kawuzeni ophunzira ake kuti, ‘Wauka kwa akufa ndipo watsogola kupita ku Galileya. Mukamuona Iye kumeneko.’ Taonani ndakuwuzani.”

Mwadzidzidzi Yesu anakumana nawo nati, “Moni.” Iwo anabwera kwa Iye, nagwira mapazi ake namulambira. Ndipo Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Musachite mantha, pitani kawuzeni abale anga kuti apite ku Galileya ndipo kumeneko akandiona Ine.”

Kenaka Yesu anabwera kwa iwo nati, “Ulamuliro wonse kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi wapatsidwa kwa Ine. Chifukwa chake, pitani kaphunzitseni anthu a mitundu yonse, ndi kuwabatiza mʼdzina la Atate ndi la Mwana ndi la Mzimu Woyera, ndi kuwaphunzitsa amvere zonse zimene ndinakulamulirani. Ndipo onani, Ine ndidzakhala pamodzi ndi inu kufikira kutha kwa dziko lapansi pano.”

Chiyambi cha Uthenga Wabwino wa Yesu Khristu, Mwana wa Mulungu,

Ine ndikubatizani ndi madzi, koma Iye adzakubatizani ndi Mzimu Woyera.”

Pa nthawi imeneyo Yesu anabwera kuchokera ku Nazareti wa ku Galileya ndipo anabatizidwa ndi Yohane mu mtsinje wa Yorodani. Pamene Yesu ankatuluka mʼmadzi, anaona kumwamba kukutsekuka ndipo Mzimu Woyera akutsikira pa Iye ngati nkhunda. Ndipo Mawu anamveka kuchokera kumwamba: “Iwe ndiwe Mwana wanga wokondedwa; ndipo ndikondwera nawe.” Nthawi yomweyo Mzimu Woyera anamutumiza Iye ku chipululu, ndipo anali mʼchipululumo masiku makumi anayi, akuyesedwa ndi Satana. Anali pakati pa nyama zakuthengo; ndipo angelo anamutumikira.

Iwo anapita ku Kaperenawo, ndipo tsiku la Sabata litafika, Yesu analowa mʼsunagoge nayamba kuphunzitsa. Anthu anadabwa ndi chiphunzitso chake, chifukwa anawaphunzitsa ngati munthu amene anali ndi ulamuliro, osati ngati aphunzitsi amalamulo. Pomwepo munthu wina mʼsunagogemo amene anali wogwidwa ndi mzimu woyipa anafuwula kuti, “Mukufuna chiyani kwa ife, Yesu wa ku Nazareti? Kodi mwabwera kudzatiwononga? Ndikudziwa kuti ndinu ndani, ndinu Woyerayo wa Mulungu!” Yesu anadzudzula chiwandacho mwamphamvu nati, “Khala chete! Tuluka mwa iye!” Mzimu woyipawo unamugwedeza mwamphamvu ndipo unatuluka mwa iye ukufuwula. Anthu anadabwa kwambiri kotero kuti anafunsana wina ndi mnzake kuti, “Ichi nʼchiyani? Chiphunzitso chatsopano ndi ulamuliro! Iye akulamula, ngakhale mizimu yoyipa ikumumvera.” Mbiri yake inafalikira kudera lonse la Galileya mofulumira.

Yesu anachiritsa ambiri amene anali ndi matenda osiyanasiyana, komanso anatulutsa ziwanda zambiri, ndipo sanalole kuti ziwandazo ziyankhule chifukwa zinkamudziwa Iye.

Mʼmalo mwake anapita nayamba kuyankhula momasuka, nafalitsa mbiriyo. Zotsatira zake, Yesu sanathe kulowa mʼmudzi moonekera, koma anakhala kunja kumalo kopanda anthu. Komabe anthu amabwera kwa Iye kuchokera kulikonse.

Ndipo kulikonse kumene anapita, ku midzi, mʼmizinda ndi madera a ku midzi, iwo anayika odwala mʼmalo a mʼmisika. Iwo anamupempha kuti awalole kuti akhudze ngakhale mphonje za mkanjo wake, ndipo onse amene anamukhudza anachira.

Iye anafunsa kuti, “Koma nanga inu, mumati ndine yani?” Petro anayankha kuti, “Inu ndinu Khristu.”

Iye anayamba kuwaphunzitsa kuti, “Mwana wa Munthu ayenera kumva zowawa zambiri ndi kukanidwa ndi akulu a ansembe, ndi aphunzitsi a malamulo, ndi kuti ayenera kuphedwa ndipo patatha masiku atatu adzaukanso.”

chifukwa amaphunzitsa ophunzira ake. Anati kwa iwo, “Mwana wa Munthu adzaperekedwa mʼmanja mwa anthu. Adzamupha, ndipo patatha masiku atatu adzauka.”

Ali pa ulendo wawo wopita ku Yerusalemu, Yesu ali patsogolo, ophunzira ake anadabwa, ndipo amene amamutsatira amachita mantha. Anatenganso ophunzira ake khumi ndi awiri pa mbali ndipo anawawuza zimene zikamuchitikire Iye. Iye anati, “Ife tikupita ku Yerusalemu ndipo Mwana wa Munthu adzaperekedwa kwa akulu a ansembe ndi aphunzitsi amalamulo. Adzamuweruza kuti aphedwe ndipo adzamupereka kwa anthu a mitundu ina, amene adzamuchita chipongwe ndi kumuthira malovu, kumukwapula ndi kumupha. Patatha masiku atatu adzauka.”

Pakuti ngakhale Mwana wa Munthu sanabwere kudzatumikiridwa, koma kudzatumikira, ndi kupereka moyo wake kuti ukhale dipo la anthu ambiri.”

Atafika ku Yerusalemu, Yesu analowa mʼbwalo lakunja la Nyumba ya Mulungu ndipo anayamba kupirikitsa anthu amene amagula ndi kugulitsa mʼmenemo. Anagubuduza matebulo a osintha ndalama ndi mipando ya ogulitsa nkhunda, ndipo Iye sanalole aliyense kugulitsa malonda mʼmabwalo a Nyumba ya Mulungu. Ndipo pamene ankawaphunzitsa, Iye anati, “Kodi sikunalembedwe kuti, ‘Nyumba yanga idzatchedwa Nyumba ya mapemphero kwa anthu a mitundu yonse?’ Koma inu mwayisandutsa ‘phanga la achifwamba.’ ” Akulu a ansembe ndi aphunzitsi amalamulo anamva izi ndipo anayamba kufuna njira yoti amuphere Iye, pakuti amamuopa, chifukwa gulu lonse la anthu linazizwa ndi chiphunzitso chake.

Yesu akuphunzitsa mʼmabwalo a Nyumba ya Mulungu, anafunsa kuti, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani aphunzitsi amalamulo amanena kuti, ‘Khristu ndi Mwana wa Davide?’

Anthu onse adzakudani chifukwa cha Ine, koma amene adzalimbika mpaka potsiriza, ameneyo ndiye adzapulumuke.

“Nthawi imeneyo anthu adzaona Mwana wa Munthu akubwera mʼmitambo ndi mphamvu yayikulu ndi ulemerero.

Kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi zidzatha, koma mawu anga sadzatha.”

Pamene ankadya, Yesu anatenga buledi, nayamika ndipo anamunyema nagawira ophunzira ake nanena kuti, “Tengani, ili ndi thupi langa.” Kenaka anatenga chikho, nayamika nachipereka kwa iwo ndipo onse anamweramo. Iye anawawuza kuti, “Awa ndi magazi anga a pangano amene akhetsedwa chifukwa cha ambiri.

Koma Yesu anakhala chete ndipo sanayankhe. Mkulu wa ansembe anabwereza kumufunsa Iye kuti, “Kodi ndiwe Khristu Mwana wa Wodalitsikayo?” Yesu anati, “Ndine, ndipo mudzaona Mwana wa Munthu atakhala kudzanja lamanja la Wamphamvuzonse ndipo akubwera mʼmitambo ya kumwamba.”

Pilato anafunsa kuti, “Kodi Iwe ndi Mfumu ya Ayuda?” Yesu anayankha kuti, “Mwatero ndinu.”

Anamuveka Iye mwinjiro wofiira, kenaka analuka chipewa cha minga ndi kuyika pa mutu pake. Ndipo anayamba kunena kwa lye kuti, “Ulemu kwa inu Mfumu ya Ayuda!” Ndipo anamugogoda pa mutu mobwerezabwereza ndi ndodo ndi kumulavulira. Anamugwadira ndi kumulambira Iye. Ndipo anamuchita chipongwe, anamuvula mwinjiro wofiira uja ndi kumuveka zovala zake. Kenaka anamutenga kuti akamupachike.

Chikwangwani cholembedwapo mlandu wake chinali choti: MFUMU YA AYUDA. Achifwamba awiri anapachikidwanso pamodzi ndi Iye, wina kumanja kwake ndi wina kumanzere kwake. (Ndipo malemba anakwaniritsidwa amene amati, “Iye anayikidwa mʼgulu la anthu oyipa).”

Musiyeni Khristu, Mfumu ya Aisraeli, atsike tsopano kuchoka pa mtanda, kuti ife tione ndi kukhulupirira.” Iwonso amene anapachikidwa naye pamodzi anamulalatira.

Pa ora lachisanu ndi chinayi Yesu analira mofuwula kuti, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabakitani?” Kutanthauza kuti, “Mulungu wanga, Mulungu wanga, mwandisiyiranji Ine?”

Ndi mawu ofuwula, Yesu anapuma komaliza. Chinsalu chotchinga cha mʼNyumba ya Mulungu chinangʼambika pakati kuyambira pamwamba mpaka pansi. Ndipo Kenturiyo, amene anayima patsogolo pa Yesu, atamva kulira kwake ndi kuona mmene anafera anati, “Zoonadi, uyu anali Mwana wa Mulungu.”

Atalowa mʼmanda, anaona mnyamata atavala mwinjiro woyera atakhala ku mbali ya kumanja, ndipo iwo anachita mantha. Iye anati, “Musaope. Kodi mukufuna Yesu wa ku Nazareti, amene anapachikidwa? Wauka! Sali muno. Onani malo amene anamugonekapo. Koma pitani, kawuzeni ophunzira ake ndi Petro kuti, ‘Iye watsogola kupita ku Galileya. Kumeneko mukamuona Iye monga momwe anakuwuzirani.’ ” Akunjenjemera ndi kudabwa, amayiwo anatuluka ndipo anathawa ku mandako. Sananene china chilichonse kwa aliyense, chifukwa anachita mantha. [Mipukutu yoyambirira ndi maumboni akale mulibe vesi 9 mpaka 20.]

Ambuye Yesu atatha kuyankhulana nawo, anatengedwa kupita kumwamba ndipo anakhala kudzanja lamanja la Mulungu. Pamenepo ophunzira aja anapita ndi kukalalikira ponseponse, ndipo Ambuye anagwira nawo ntchito pamodzi, ndipo anatsimikizira mawuwo ndi zizindikiro zimene ankachita.

Udzakhala woyembekezera ndipo udzabala mwana wamwamuna ndipo udzamupatse dzina loti Yesu. Iye adzakhala wamkulu ndipo adzatchedwa Mwana wa Wammwambamwamba. Ambuye Mulungu adzamupatsa Iye mpando waufumu wa abambo ake Davide, ndipo adzalamulira pa nyumba ya Yakobo ku nthawi zonse; ufumu wake sudzatha.”

Mariya anafunsa mngeloyo kuti, “Izi zingatheke bwanji popeza ine sindidziwa mwamuna?” Mngelo anayankha kuti, “Mzimu Woyera adzabwera pa iwe ndipo mphamvu ya Wammwambamwamba idzakuphimba, ndipo Woyerayo amene adzabadwe adzatchedwa Mwana wa Mulungu.

ndipo anabereka mwana wake woyamba, wamwamuna. Iye anamukulunga mʼnsalu ndi kumuyika modyera ngʼombe, chifukwa kunalibe malo mʼnyumba ya alendo.

Lero mʼmudzi wa Davide wakubwadwirani Mpulumutsi; Iye ndi Khristu Ambuye. Ichi chidzakhala chizindikiro kwa inu: mukapeza mwana wakhanda wokutidwa ndi nsalu atagona modyera ngʼombe.” Mwadzidzidzi gulu lalikulu la angelo linaonekera pamodzi ndi mngeloyo, kuyamika Mulungu ndi kumati, “Ulemerero kwa Mulungu mmwambamwamba, ndi mtendere kwa anthu pa dziko lapansi amene Iye akondwera nawo.”

Kenaka Simeoni anawadalitsa ndipo anati kwa Mariya amayi ake: “Mwana uyu wakonzedwa kukhala kugwa ndi kudzuka kwa ambiri mu Israeli, ndi kukhala chizindikiro chimene adzayankhula motsutsana nacho, kotero kuti malingaliro a mitima ya ambiri adzawululidwa. Ndipo lupanga lidzabaya moyo wakonso.”

Pamene anthu onse ankabatizidwa, Yesu anabatizidwanso. Ndipo akupemphera, kumwamba kunatsekuka. Mzimu Woyera anatsika pa Iye mumaonekedwe a nkhunda ndipo mawu anamveka kuchokera kumwamba: “Iwe ndiwe Mwana wanga wokondedwa; ndimakondwera nawe.”

Yesu anabwerera ku Galileya mu mphamvu ya Mzimu Woyera, ndipo mbiri yake inafalikira ku madera onse a ku midzi. Iye ankaphunzitsa mʼmasunagoge awo, ndipo aliyense ankamulemekeza.

Anamupatsa buku la mneneri Yesaya. Atalitsekula, anapeza pamalo pamene panalembedwa kuti, “Mzimu wa Ambuye ali pa Ine; chifukwa wandidzoza kuti ndilalikire Uthenga Wabwino kwa osauka. Wandituma kuti ndilalikire kwa a mʼndende kuti amasulidwe ndi kwa osaona kuti apenyenso, kumasulidwa kwa osautsidwa, ndi kulalikira za nthawi imene Ambuye adzakomere mtima anthu awo.” Kenaka Iye anatseka bukulo, nalibwezera kwa wotumikira ndipo anakakhala pansi. Maso a aliyense mʼsunagogemo anali pa Iye, ndipo anawawuza kuti, “Lero malemba awa akwaniritsidwa mmene mwamveramu.”

Iwo anadabwa ndi chiphunzitso chake chifukwa uthenga wake unali ndi ulamuliro. Mʼsunagogemo munali munthu wogwidwa ndi mzimu woyipa. Iye analira ndi mawu akulu, akuti “Aa! Kodi mukufuna chiyani kwa ife, Yesu wa ku Nazareti? Kodi mwabwera kudzatiwononga? Ndikudziwa kuti ndinu ndani, ndinu Woyerayo wa Mulungu!” Yesu anachidzudzula kwambiri nati, “Khala chete! Tuluka mwa iye.” Chiwandacho chinamugwetsa munthuyo pansi pamaso pa onse ndipo chinatuluka wosamupweteka. Anthu onse anadabwa ndipo anati kwa wina ndi mnzake, “Kodi chiphunzitso ichi ndi chotani? Ndi ulamuliro ndi mphamvu Iye akulamulira mizimu yoyipa ndipo ikutuluka!”

Komanso ziwanda zinkatuluka mwa anthu ambiri, zikufuwula kuti, “Inu ndinu Mwana wa Mulungu!” Koma Iye anazidzudzula ndipo sanazilole kuyankhula chifukwa zimadziwa kuti Iye ndi Khristu.

Atatha kuyankhula anati kwa Simoni, “Kankhirani kwa kuya ndipo muponye makhoka kuti mugwire nsomba.” Simoni anayankha kuti, “Ambuye, tagwira ntchito molimbika usiku wonse, koma sitinagwire kanthu. Koma pakuti mwatero, ndiponya makhoka.” Atachita izi, anagwira nsomba zambiri kotero kuti makhoka awo anayamba kungʼambika. Choncho anakodola anzawo a bwato linalo kuti abwere ndi kuwathandiza, ndipo anabwera nadzaza mabwato onse awiri mpaka kuyamba kumira. Simoni Petro ataona izi, anagwa pa mawondo a Yesu nati, “Chokani kwa ine Ambuye: Ine ndine munthu wochimwa!”

Yesu anadziwa zomwe iwo amaganiza ndipo anafunsa kuti, “Kodi ndi chifukwa chiyani mukuganiza zimenezi mʼmitima mwanu?

Ndinu odala, anthu akamakudani, kukusalani ndi kukunyozani ndi kumayipitsa dzina lanu chifukwa cha Mwana wa Munthu.

Iye anafunsa kuti, “Koma nanga inu mumati Ine ndine yani?” Petro anayankha kuti, “Mpulumutsi wolonjezedwa uja wa Mulungu.” Yesu anawachenjeza kwambiri kuti asawuze wina aliyense za izi. Ndipo Iye anati, “Mwana wa Munthu ayenera kuzunzika kwambiri ndi kukanidwa ndi akulu a ansembe ndi aphunzitsi amalamulo, Iye ayenera kuphedwa ndipo tsiku lachitatu adzauka kwa akufa.”

“Atate anga anapereka zinthu zonse mʼmanja mwanga. Palibe amene amadziwa Mwana kupatula Atate yekha, ndipo palibe amene amadziwa Atate kupatula Mwana yekha, ndiponso amene Mwanayo akufuna kumuwululira.”

“Ine ndikukuwuza kuti, aliyense amene avomereza Ine pamaso pa anthu, Mwana wa Munthu adzamuvomerezanso pamaso pa angelo a Mulungu. Koma iye amene andikana Ine pamaso pa anthu adzakanidwanso pamaso pa angelo a Mulungu.

Yesu anatengera khumi ndi awiriwo pambali ndi kuwawuza kuti, “Taonani ife tikupita ku Yerusalemu, ndipo zonse zimene zalembedwa ndi Aneneri za Mwana wa Munthu zidzakwaniritsidwa. Iye adzaperekedwa kwa anthu a mitundu ina. Ndipo adzamuchita chipongwe, adzamunyoza, adzamulavulira, adzamukwapula ndi kumupha. Tsiku lachitatu Iye adzaukanso.”

Pajatu Mwana wa Munthu anabwera kudzafunafuna ndi kupulumutsa chotayikacho.”

Kenaka Iye analowa mʼdera la Nyumba ya Mulungu ndi kuyamba kutulutsa kunja amene amachita malonda. Iye anawawuza kuti, “Zinalembedwa kuti Nyumba yanga idzakhala nyumba ya mapemphero, koma inu mwayisadutsa phanga la achifwamba.” Tsiku lililonse amaphunzitsa mʼNyumba ya Mulungu. Koma akulu a ansembe, aphunzitsi amalamulo ndi atsogoleri pakati pa anthu amayesetsa kuti amuphe. Komabe iwo sanathe kupeza njira ina iliyonse kuti achite izi, chifukwa anthu onse anakhulupirira mawu ake.

Yesu anawayangʼanitsitsa ndipo anafunsa kuti, “Kodi tanthauzo lake ndi chiyani la zimene zinalembedwa kuti, “ ‘Mwala umene omanga nyumba anawukana wasanduka mwala wa pa ngodya. Aliyense amene agwa pa mwalawu adzapweteka, koma iye amene udzamugwera udzamuphwanya.’ ”

Anthu onse adzakudani chifukwa cha Ine.

Nthawi imeneyo adzaona Mwana wa Munthu akubwera ndi mitambo, mphamvu ndi ulemerero waukulu.

Kumwamba ndi dziko lapansi zidzatha, koma mawu anga sadzatha.”

Ndipo Iye anatenga buledi, nayamika ndipo anamunyema, nagawira iwo nati, “Ili ndi thupi langa lomwe laperekedwa kwa inu; muzichita zimenezi pokumbukira Ine.” Chimodzimodzinso, utatha mgonero, anatenga chikho nati, “Chikho ichi ndi pangano latsopano la magazi anga, amene akhetsedwa chifukwa cha inu.

Inu ndinu amene mwayima nane mʼmayesero. Ndipo Ine ndikupatsani inu ufumu, monga momwe Atate anga anandipatsiranso Ine, kuti inu muthe kudya ndi kumwa pa tebulo langa mu ufumu wanga ndi kukhala pa mipando yaufumu kuweruza mafuko khumi ndi awiri a Israeli.”

Ndipo mopsinjika mtima, anapemphera moona mtima, ndipo thukuta lake linali ngati madontho a magazi akugwera pansi.

Koma kuyambira tsopano, Mwana wa Munthu adzakhala ku dzanja lamanja la Mulungu wamphamvu.” Onse anafunsa kuti, “Ndiye kuti ndiwe Mwana wa Mulungu?” Iye anayankha kuti, “Mwanena ndinu kuti Ndine.”

Pamenepo Pilato anamufunsa Yesu kuti, “Kodi Iwe ndiwe Mfumu ya Ayuda?” Yesu anayankha kuti, “Mwatero ndinu.”

Pamene anafika pamalo otchedwa Bade, anamupachika Iye pamodzi ndi achifwambawo, mmodzi kudzanja lake lamanja ndi winayo la ku lamazere. Yesu anati, “Atate, akhululukireni, pakuti sakudziwa chimene akuchita.” Ndipo anagawana malaya ake mochita maere.

Ndipo panalembedwa chikwangwani pamwamba pake chimene chinati: UYU NDI MFUMU YA AYUDA.

Kenaka anati, “Yesu, mundikumbukire ine pamene mulowa mu ufumu wanu.” Yesu anayankha kuti, “Zoonadi, ndikukuwuza kuti lero lino udzakhala ndi Ine mʼparadaiso.”

Linali tsopano pafupi ora lachisanu ndi chimodzi, ndipo mdima unagwa pa dziko lonse mpaka ora lachisanu ndi chinayi, pakuti dzuwa linaleka kuwala. Ndipo chinsalu cha mʼNyumba ya Mulungu chinangʼambika pakati. Yesu anafuwula ndi mawu okweza kuti, “Atate, ndikupereka mzimu wanga mʼmanja mwanu.” Atanena zimenezi, anamwalira.

Pamene iwo ankadabwa za zimenezi, mwadzidzidzi, amuna awiri ovala zovala zonyezimira kwambiri anayimirira pambali pawo. Ndi mantha, amayiwo anaweramitsa nkhope zawo pansi, koma amunawo anawawuza kuti, “Nʼchifukwa chiyani mukufuna wamoyo pakati pa akufa? Iye sali muno ayi. Wauka! Kumbukirani zimene anakuwuzani pamene anali nanu ku Galileya:

Ndipo kuyambira ndi Mose ndi aneneri onse Iye anawafotokozera zimene zinalembedwa mʼmalemba wonse zokhudzana ndi Iye mwini.

Iye anawawuza kuti, “Izi ndi zimene ndinakuwuzani pamene ndinali nanu: chilichonse chiyenera kukwaniritsidwa chimene chinalembedwa cha Ine mʼbuku la Malamulo a Mose, Aneneri ndi Masalimo.” Kenaka anawatsekula maganizo kuti azindikire Malemba. Iye anawawuza kuti, “Izi ndi zimene zinalembedwa: Khristu adzazunzika ndipo adzauka kwa akufa tsiku lachitatu. Ndipo kutembenuka mtima ndi kukhululukidwa kwa machimo zidzalalikidwa mu dzina lake kwa anthu amitundu yonse kuyambira mu Yerusalemu.

Iye akuwadalitsa, anawasiya ndipo anatengedwa kupita kumwamba. Pamenepo anamulambira Iye ndipo anabwerera ku Yerusalemu ndi chimwemwe chachikulu.

Pachiyambi panali Mawu, ndipo Mawu anali kwa Mulungu, ndipo Mawu ndiye Mulungu. Mawuwa anali ndi Mulungu pachiyambi. Zinthu zonse zinalengedwa ndi Iye; ndipo popanda Iye sikukanakhala kanthu kalikonse kolengedwa.

Iye anali mʼdziko lapansi, ndipo ngakhale kuti dziko lapansi linalengedwa ndi Iye, dziko lapansilo silinamuzindikire Iye. Iye anabwera kwa iwo amene anali akeake, koma akewo sanamulandire Iye. Koma kwa onse amene anamulandira Iye, kwa amene anakhulupirira mʼdzina lake, Iye anawapatsa mphamvu yokhala ana a Mulungu; ana wobadwa osati monga mwachilengedwe, kapena chisankho cha munthu, kapena chifuniro cha mwamuna koma wobadwa mwa Mulungu. Mawu anasandulika thupi ndipo anakhala pakati pathu. Ife tinaona ulemerero wake, ulemerero wa Iye amene ndi Mwana mmodzi yekhayo wa Atate, wodzaza ndi chisomo ndi choonadi.

Pakuti lamulo linapatsidwa kudzera mwa Mose; chisomo ndi choonadi zinabwera kudzera mwa Yesu Khristu.

Pa tsiku lotsatira Yohane anaona Yesu akubwera kwa iye ndipo anati, “Taonani, Mwana Wankhosa wa Mulungu, amene achotsa tchimo la dziko lapansi!

Iye ataona Yesu akudutsa anati, “Taonani Mwana Wankhosa wa Mulungu!”

Choncho chimene Andreya anachita ndi kukapeza mʼbale wake Simoni ndipo anamuwuza kuti, “Ife tamupeza Mesiya,” (kutanthauza kuti Khristu).

Kenaka Natanieli ananena kuti, “Rabi, Inu ndinu Mwana wa Mulungu; Inu ndinu Mfumu ya Israeli.”

Pamenepo panali mitsuko yamiyala yothiramo madzi isanu ndi umodzi, imene Ayuda amagwiritsa ntchito pa mwambo wodziyeretsa. Uliwonse unali ndi malita 100 kapena kupitirirapo. Yesu anati kwa antchitowo, “Dzazani madzi mʼmitsukoyi,” ndipo iwo anadzaza ndendende. Ndipo Iye anatinso kwa iwo, “Tsopano tungani ndipo kaperekeni kwa mkulu waphwando.” Iwo anachita momwemo. Mkulu waphwando analawa madziwo amene anasandulika vinyo, ndipo sanazindikire kumene vinyoyo anachokera, ngakhale kuti antchito amene anatunga madziwo amadziwa. Kenaka anayitanira mkwati pambali ndipo anati, “Aliyense amatulutsa vinyo wokoma kwambiri poyambirira ndipo kenaka vinyo wosakoma pamene oyitanidwa atamwa kale wambiri; koma iwe wasunga wokoma mpaka tsopano.”

Chifukwa cha zimenezi Iye anapanga chikwapu cha zingwe ndipo anatulutsa onse mʼbwalo la Nyumbayo, pamodzi ndi nkhosa ndi ngʼombe; Iye anamwaza ndalama zawo ndi kugudubuza matebulo. Kwa amene amagulitsa nkhunda, Iye anati, “Tulutsani izi muno! Osasandutsa Nyumba ya Atate anga msika!” Ophunzira ake anakumbukira kuti zinalembedwa kuti, “Kudzipereka kwanga ku nyumba yanu kudzandiphetsa.” Kenaka Ayuda anamufunsa Yesu kuti, “Kodi mungationetse chizindikiro chodabwitsa chotani chotsimikizira ulamuliro wanu wochitira izi?” Yesu anawayankha kuti, “Gwetsani Nyumba ya Mulunguyi ndipo Ine ndidzayimanganso mʼmasiku atatu.”

Ine ndikuyankhula kwa iwe zinthu za dziko lapansi ndipo sukukhulupirira. Nanga kodi udzakhulupirira bwanji ngati nditayankhula zinthu zakumwamba? Palibe wina aliyense anapita kumwamba, koma yekhayo amene watsika kuchokera kumwamba, Mwana wa Munthu. Tsono monga Mose anapachika njoka mʼchipululu, moteronso Mwana wa Munthu ayenera kupachikidwa, kuti aliyense amene akhulupirira Iye akhale ndi moyo wosatha. “Pakuti Mulungu anakonda dziko lapansi, kotero anapereka Mwana wake wobadwa yekha, kuti aliyense wokhulupirira Iye asatayike koma akhale ndi moyo wosatha. Pakuti Mulungu sanatume Mwana wake ku dziko lapansi, kuti akaweruze, koma kuti akapulumutse dziko lapansi. Aliyense wokhulupirira Iye saweruzidwa, koma aliyense wosakhulupirira waweruzidwa kale chifukwa sanakhulupirire dzina la Mwana wobadwa yekha wa Mulungu.

“Iye wochokera kumwamba ndi wapamwamba pa onse: iye wochokera mʼdziko lapansi ndi wa dziko lapansi, ndipo amayankhula monga mmodzi wa adziko lapansi. Iye wochokera kumwamba ndi wopambana onse.

Atate amakonda Mwana ndipo apereka zonse mʼmanja mwake. Aliyense wokhulupirira Mwanayo ali ndi moyo wosatha, koma iye amene samvera Mwanayo sadzawuona moyo, pakuti mkwiyo wa Mulungu umakhala pa iye.”

Yesu anayankha kuti, “Aliyense amene amamwa madzi awa amamvanso ludzu, koma aliyense amene adzamwa madzi amene Ine ndidzamupatsa sadzamvanso ludzu. Ndithudi, madzi amene ndidzamupatsa adzakhala kasupe wamadzi wotumphukira ku moyo wosatha.”

Mayiyo anati, “Ine ndikudziwa kuti Mesiya (wotchedwa Khristu) akubwera. Akabwera, Iye adzafotokoza zonse kwa ife.” Ndipo Yesu anamuwuza kuti, “Amene ndikukuyankhulane, ndine amene.”

Chifukwa cha ichi Ayuda anawirikiza kufuna kumupha; osati chifukwa chakuswa Sabata kokha komanso chifukwa ankanena kuti Mulungu ndi Atate ake, nadziyesa Iye wofanana ndi Mulungu. Yesu anawapatsa yankho ili: “Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti Mwana sangathe kuchita kanthu pa Iye yekha. Iye amachita zokhazo zimene amaona Atate ake akuchita, chifukwa chilichonse chimene Atate amachita Mwana amachitanso. Pakuti Atate amakonda Mwana, amamuonetsa zonse zimene Iwo amachita. Inde, Atate adzamuonetsa zinthu zazikulu kuposa zimenezi ndipo mudzadabwa. Pakuti monga Atate amaukitsa akufa nawapatsa moyo, momwemonso Mwana amapereka moyo kwa amene Iye akufuna. Komanso, Atate saweruza aliyense koma wapereka kwa Mwana ulamuliro woweruzawo, kuti aliyense alemekeze Mwanayo monga momwe amalemekezera Atate. Munthu amene salemekeza Mwana salemekezanso Atate amene anamutuma Mwanayo. “Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti aliyense amene amamva mawu anga ndi kukhulupirira Iye amene ananditumiza Ine, ali ndi moyo wosatha ndipo sadzaweruzidwa. Iye wachoka mu imfa ndipo walowa mʼmoyo.

Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti nthawi ikubwera ndipo yafika kale tsopano, pamene akufa adzamva mawu a Mwana wa Mulungu ndipo iwo amene amva adzakhala ndi moyo. Pakuti monga Atate ali gwero la moyo, momwemonso anapereka mphamvu zopereka moyo mwa Mwana. Ndipo wamupatsa Iye ulamuliro woweruza chifukwa ndi Mwana wa Munthu. “Musadabwe ndi zimenezi. Pakuti nthawi ikubwera pamene onse amene ali mʼmanda adzamva mawu ake ndi kutuluka. Iwo amene anachita zabwino adzauka ndi kupita ku moyo wosatha ndipo amene anachita zoyipa adzauka ndi kupita ku chilango chamuyaya.

Kenaka Yesu ananenetsa kuti, “Ine ndine chakudya chamoyo. Iye amene abwera kwa Ine sadzamva njala, ndipo iye amene akhulupirira Ine sadzamva ludzu.

Pakuti Ine ndinatsika kuchokera kumwamba osati kudzachita chifuniro changa koma cha Iye amene anandituma Ine.

Ine ndine chakudya chamoyo chochokera kumwamba. Ngati munthu adya chakudya ichi, adzakhala ndi moyo nthawi zonse. Chakudya chimenechi ndi thupi langa, limene Ine ndidzalipereka kuti anthu pa dziko lapansi akhale ndi moyo.”

Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti ngati simungadye thupi la Mwana wa Munthu ndi kumwa magazi ake, simungakhale ndi moyo mwa inu. Aliyense amene adya thupi langa ndi kumwa magazi anga ali ndi moyo wosatha ndipo Ine ndidzamuukitsa kwa akufa pa tsiku lomaliza. Pakuti thupi langa ndi chakudya chenicheni ndipo magazi anga ndi chakumwa chenicheni. Aliyense amene adya thupi langa ndi kumwa magazi anga amakhala mwa Ine, ndi Ine mwa iye.

Pakumva izi ambiri a ophunzira ake anati, “Ichi ndi chiphunzitso chovuta. Angachilandire ndani?” Pozindikira kuti ophunzira ake ankangʼungʼudza, Yesu anawafunsa kuti, “Kodi izi zikukukhumudwitsani? Nanga mutaona Mwana wa Munthu akukwera kupita kumene Iye anali poyamba! Mzimu Woyera apereka moyo, thupi silipindula kanthu. Mawu amene ndayankhula kwa inu ndiwo mzimu ndipo ndi moyo.

Iye anapitiriza kunena kuti, “Ichi ndi chifukwa chake ndinakuwuzani kuti palibe wina angabwere kwa Ine pokhapokha Atate atamuthandiza.”

Kuyambira nthawi imeneyi ophunzira ake ambiri anabwerera ndipo sanamutsatenso Iye. Yesu anafunsa khumi ndi awiriwo kuti, “Kodi inu mukufuna kuchokanso?” Simoni Petro anamuyankha Iye kuti, “Ambuye, ife tidzapita kwa yani? Inu muli ndi mawu amoyo wosatha.

Yesu anayankha kuti, “Chiphunzitso changa si cha Ine ndekha. Chimachokera kwa Iye amene anandituma. Ngati munthu asankha kuchita chifuniro cha Mulungu, adzazindikira ngati chiphunzitso changa nʼchochokera kwa Mulungu kapena ngati ndi mwa Ine ndekha. Iye amene amayankhula za Iye mwini amatero kuti adzipezere ulemu, koma amene amagwira ntchito kuti amene anamutuma alandire ulemu, ameneyo ndiye munthu woona; mu mtima mwake mulibe chinyengo chilichonse.

Yesu atayankhulanso kwa anthu, anati, “Ine ndine kuwunika kwa dziko lapansi. Aliyense amene anditsata Ine sadzayenda mu mdima, koma adzakhala ndi kuwala kotsogolera anthu ku moyo.”

Koma Ine ndikati ndiweruze, ndimaweruza molondola, chifukwa Ine sindili ndekha koma ndili ndi Atate amene anandituma.

Ine ndikudzichitira ndekha umboni; ndipo mboni inanso ndi Atate amene anandituma.”

Koma Iye anapitiriza kuti, “Inu ndi ochokera pansi pano. Ine ndine wochokera kumwamba. Inu ndinu anthu a dziko la pansi. Ine sindine wa dziko lapansi lino. Ine ndinakuwuzani kuti mudzafera mʼmachimo anu ngati simukhulupirira kuti Ine Ndine. Ndithu inu mudzafera mʼmachimo anu.”

Choncho Yesu anati, “Inu mukadzapachika Mwana wa Munthu, pamenepo mudzadziwa kuti Ine Ndine. Mudzadziwa kuti sindichita kalikonse pa Ine ndekha koma ndimayankhula zokhazo zimene Atate anandiphunzitsa. Iye amene anandituma Ine ali nane pamodzi. Iye sanandisiye ndekha popeza nthawi zonse ndimachita zomwe zimamukondweretsa Iye.”

Yesu anayankha kuti, “Ine ndikukuwuzani choonadi, Abrahamu asanabadwe, Ine Ndine!”

Yesu anamva kuti anamutulutsa kunja ndipo pamene anamupeza anati, “Kodi ukukhulupirira Mwana wa Munthu?” Munthuyo anafunsa kuti, “Kodi, Ambuye, ameneyo ndi ndani? Ndiwuzeni kuti ndimukhulupirire Iye?” Yesu anati, “Iwe wamuona tsopano. Zoonadi ndiye amene akuyankhula nawe.” Pamenepo munthuyo anati, “Ambuye, ndikukhulupirira,” ndipo anamulambira Iye.

Choncho Yesu anatinso, “Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti Ine ndine khomo la nkhosa.

“Ine ndine Mʼbusa wabwino. Mʼbusa wabwino amataya moyo wake chifukwa cha nkhosa zake.

“Ine ndine mʼbusa wabwino. Ine ndimazidziwa nkhosa zanga ndipo nkhosa zangazo zimandidziwa, monga momwe Atate amandidziwa Ine, ndiponso Ine kudziwira Atatewo. Ndimapereka moyo wanga chifukwa cha nkhosa. Ine ndili ndi nkhosa zina zimene sizili za gulu ili. Ine ndiyenera kuzibweretsanso. Izonso zidzamvera mawu anga, ndipo zidzakhala gulu limodzi ndi mʼbusa mmodzi. Nʼchifukwa chake Atate anga amandikonda, popeza Ine ndikupereka moyo wanga kuti ndiwutengenso. Palibe amene angawuchotse mwa Ine, koma ndikuwupereka mwakufuna kwanga. Ine ndili ndi ulamuliro wa kuwupereka ndi ulamuliro wakuwutenganso. Lamulo ili ndinalandira kwa Atate anga.”

Yesu anayankha kuti, “Ine ndimakuwuzani, koma inu simukhulupirira. Ntchito zimene ndikuchita mʼdzina la Atate anga zikundichitira umboni, koma inu simukhulupirira chifukwa simuli a gulu lankhosa zanga. Nkhosa zanga zimamva mawu anga, Ine ndimazidziwa, ndipo zimanditsata Ine. Ine ndimazipatsa moyo wosatha ndipo sizidzawonongeka. Palibe amene adzazikwatula mʼdzanja langa. Atate anga, amene anandipatsa Ine, ndi akulu kuposa onse. Palibe amene angazikwatule mʼdzanja la Atate anga. Ine ndi Atate ndife amodzi.”

Ine ndi Atate ndife amodzi.” Ayuda anatolanso miyala kuti amugende Iye, koma Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Ine ndakuonetsani zinthu zambiri zabwino zodabwitsa kuchokera kwa Atate. Nʼchifukwa chiti mwa izi chimene mukundigendera?” Ayuda anayankha kuti, “Ife sitikukugenda chifukwa cha izi, koma popeza ukunyoza Mulungu, chifukwa iwe, munthu wamba, ukuti ndiwe Mulungu.”

Koma ngati Ine ndikuchita zimenezi, ngakhale kuti simundikhulupirira, khulupirirani ntchito zodabwitsazo, ndipo mudziwe ndi kuzindikira kuti Atate ali mwa Ine, ndiponso Ine ndili mwa Atate.”

Yesu anati kwa iye, “Ine ndine kuuka ndi moyo. Wokhulupirira Ine, angakhale amwalira adzakhala ndi moyo. Aliyense amene ali ndi moyo ndi kukhulupirira Ine sadzamwalira. Kodi iwe ukukhulupirira izi?” Marita anamuwuza Iye kuti, “Inde Ambuye, ine ndikukhulupirira kuti ndinu Khristu, Mwana wa Mulungu, amene abwera mʼdziko lapansi.”

Yesu analira.

Yesu atanena izi, Iye anayitana ndi mawu ofuwula kuti, “Lazaro, tuluka!” Munthu womwalirayo anatuluka, womangidwa miyendo ndi manja ndi nsalu za ku manda, ndi nkhope yake yokulungidwa nsalu. Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Mʼmasuleni, ndipo muloleni apite.”

Tsiku lotsatira, gulu lalikulu la anthu lomwe linabwera kuphwando linamva kuti Yesu anali mʼnjira kupita ku Yerusalemu. Iwo anatenga nthambi za kanjedza ndi kupita kukakumana naye, akufuwula kuti, “Hosana! “Wodala Iye amene akubwera mʼdzina la Ambuye! “Yodala Mfumu ya Israeli!”

Yesu anayankha kuti, “Nthawi yafika yakuti Mwana wa Munthu alemekezedwe.

Atate, lemekezani dzina lanu!” Kenaka mawu anabwera kuchokera kumwamba, “Ine ndalilemekeza, ndipo ndidzalilemekezanso.”

Koma Ine, akadzandipachika pa dziko lapansi, ndidzakokera anthu onse kwa Ine.” Iye ananena izi kuti aonetse mmene adzafere.

Yesaya ananena izi chifukwa anaona ulemerero wa Yesu ndi kuyankhula za Iye.

Iye amene akana Ine ndipo salandira mawu anga ali ndi womuweruza. Tsiku lomaliza mawu amene ndiyankhulawa adzamutsutsa. Pakuti Ine sindiyankhula mwa Ine ndekha, koma Atate amene anandituma amandilamulira choti ndinene ndi momwe ndinenere.

Inali pafupifupi nthawi ya phwando la Paska. Yesu anadziwa kuti nthawi yafika yoti achoke mʼdziko lapansi ndi kupita kwa Atate. Atawakonda ake amene anali mʼdziko lapansi, Iye anawaonetsa chikondi chake chonse.

Yudasi atatuluka, Yesu anati, “Tsopano Mwana wa Munthu walemekezedwa, ndipo mwa Iyeyu Mulungu walemekezedwanso. Ngati Mulungu walemekezedwa mwa Iye, Mulungu mwini adzalemekezanso Mwana, ndipo amulemekeza nthawi yomweyo.

Yesu anayankha kuti, “Ine ndine njira, choonadi ndi moyo. Palibe munthu angafike kwa Atate popanda kudzera mwa Ine. Mukanandidziwadi Ine, mukanadziwanso Atate anga. Kuyambira tsopano, mukuwadziwa ndipo mwawaona.”

Kodi sukukhulupirira kuti Ine ndili mwa Atate, ndipo Atate ali mwa Ine? Mawu amene Ine ndiyankhula kwa inu si mawu anga okha koma ndi mawu Atate wokhala mwa Ine, amene akugwira ntchito yake. Khulupirirani Ine pamene ndi kuti Ine ndili mwa Atate ndipo Atate ali mwa Ine. Koma ngati si chomwecho, khulupiriranitu Ine chifukwa cha ntchito zanga zodabwitsa.

Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti aliyense amene akhulupirira Ine adzachita zimene Ine ndakhala ndikuchita. Iye adzachita ngakhale zinthu zazikulu kuposa zimenezi, chifukwa ndikupita kwa Atate. Ndipo Ine ndidzachita chilichonse chimene inu mudzapempha mʼdzina langa kuti Atate alemekezedwe mwa Mwana. Ngati mudzapempha kanthu kalikonse mʼdzina langa, Ine ndidzachita. “Ngati mundikonda Ine, sungani malamulo anga.

Tsiku limenelo inu mudzazindikira kuti Ine ndili mwa Atate, ndipo inu muli mwa Ine, ndipo Ine ndili mwa inu.

Iye amene sandikonda Ine sasunga mawu anga. Mawu awa amene mukumva si anga ndi a Atate amene anandituma Ine.

“Inu munamva Ine ndikunena kuti, ‘Ine ndikupita ndipo ndidzabweranso kwa inu.’ Mukanandikonda, mukanasangalala kuti Ine ndikupita kwa Atate, pakuti Atate ndi wamkulu kuposa Ine.

“Ine ndine mpesa weniweni, ndipo Atate anga ndiye mwini munda.

“Ine ndine mpesa; inu ndinu nthambi zake. Ngati munthu akhala mwa Ine ndi Ine mwa iye, adzabereka zipatso zambiri; popanda Ine simungathe kuchita kanthu. Ngati wina aliyense sakhala mwa Ine, iyeyo ali ngati nthambi imene yatayidwa ndi kufota. Nthambi zotero zimatoledwa, kuponyedwa pa moto ndi kupsa. Ngati inu mukhala mwa Ine ndipo mawu anga akhala mwa inu, pemphani chilichonse chimene mukufuna ndipo mudzapatsidwa.

“Monga momwe Atate amandikondera Ine, Inenso ndakukondani. Tsopano khalani mʼchikondi changa. Ngati mumvera malamulo anga, mudzakhala mʼchikondi changa, monga Ine ndimamvera malamulo a Atate anga, ndipo ndimakhala mʼchikondi chawo. Ine ndakuwuzani izi kuti chimwemwe changa chikhale mwa Inu, kuti chimwemwe chanu chikhale chokwanira.

Lamulo langa ndi ili: ‘Kondanani wina ndi mnzake monga Ine ndakonda inu.’ Palibe munthu ali ndi chikondi choposa ichi, choti munthu nʼkutaya moyo wake chifukwa cha abwenzi ake.

“Ngati dziko lapansi lidana nanu, dziwani kuti linayamba kudana ndi Ine.

Iye amene amadana ndi Ine amadananso Atate anga.

Iye adzalemekeza Ine chifukwa adzatenga za Ine nadzakudziwitsani. Zonse za Atate ndi zanga. Ichi nʼchifukwa chake Ine ndanena kuti Mzimu Woyera adzatenga kwa Ine zanga kuti muzidziwe.”

Tsopano ife tikuona kuti Inu mumadziwa zinthu zonse ndi kuti sipafunika wina aliyense kukufunsani. Mwa ichi ife takhulupirira kuti Inu munachokera kwa Mulungu.”

Koma nthawi ikubwera ndipo yafika, pamene inu mudzabalalitsidwa, aliyense ku nyumba yake. Inu mudzandisiya ndekhandekha. Koma Ine sindili ndekha, pakuti Atate anga ali nane. “Ine ndakuwuzani izi kuti mwa Ine mukhale nawo mtendere. Mʼdziko lapansi mudzakhala nawo mavuto. Koma limbikani mtima! Ine ndaligonjetsa dziko lapansi.”

Yesu atatha kunena izi, anayangʼana kumwamba ndipo anapemphera: “Atate, nthawi yafika. Lemekezani Mwana wanu, kuti Mwana wanuyo akulemekezeni Inu. Pakuti Inu munamupatsa Iye ulamuliro pa anthu onse kuti apereke moyo wosatha kwa onse amene mwamupatsa. Tsono moyo wosathawo ndi uwu: Iwo akudziweni Inu, Mulungu yekhayo woona, ndi Yesu Khristu, amene Inu mwamutuma. Ine ndabweretsa ulemerero wanu pa dziko pamene ndamaliza ntchito imene munandipatsa kuti ndi igwire. Ndipo tsopano, Atate, ndilemekezeni Ine pamaso panu ndi ulemerero uja umene ndinali nawo kwa Inu dziko lapansi lisanayambe.

Ine ndikuwapempherera. Ine sindikupempherera dziko lapansi, koma anthu amene Inu mwandipatsa, pakuti ndi anu. Zonse zimene Ine ndili nazo ndi zanu, ndipo zonse zimene Inu muli nazo ndi zanga. Choncho Ine ndalemekezedwa mwa iwowo.

“Tsopano ndikubwera kwa Inu. Ndikunena izi ndikanali mʼdziko lapansi, kuti iwo akhale ndi muyeso wodzaza wachimwemwe changa mʼkati mwawo. Ine ndawapatsa mawu anu ndipo dziko lapansi likudana nawo, pakuti sali a dziko lapansi monga Ine sindilinso wa dziko lapansi.

Ndikuwapempherera kuti onsewa akhale amodzi. Monga Inu Atate muli mwa Ine ndi Ine mwa Inu, iwonso akhale mwa Ife kuti dziko lapansi likhulupirire kuti Inu munandituma Ine. Ine ndawapatsa ulemerero umene munandipatsa Ine, kuti akhale amodzi monga Ife tili amodzi. Ine ndikhale mwa iwo ndipo Inu mwa Ine kuti umodzi wawo ukhale wangwiro. Choncho dziko lapansi lidzadziwa kuti Inu munandituma Ine ndipo Inu mwawakonda iwowa monga momwe Inu munandikondera Ine. “Atate, Ine ndikufuna kuti anthu amene mwandipatsa Ine adzakhale ndi Ine kumene kuli Ine, ndi kuona ulemerero wanga, ulemerero umene munandipatsa chifukwa Inu munandikonda dziko lapansi lisanalengedwe.

Iwo anayankha kuti, “Yesu wa ku Nazareti.” Yesu anati, “Ndine.” (Ndipo Yudasi womuperekayo anali atayima nawo pamenepo). Pamene Yesu anati, “Ndine,” iwo anabwerera mʼmbuyo ndi kugwa pansi.

Yesu anati, “Ufumu wanga si wa dziko lapansi lino. Ukanakhala wa pansi pano, antchito anga akanachita nkhondo kulepheretsa Ayuda kundigwira. Koma tsopano ufumu wanga ndi wochokera kumalo ena.” Pilato anati, “Kani ndiwe mfumu!” Yesu anayankha kuti, “Inu mwalondola ponena kuti, Ine ndine mfumu. Kunena zoona, Ine ndinabadwa chifukwa cha chimenechi, ndipo nʼchifukwa chake ndinabwera mʼdziko lapansi, kudzachitira umboni choonadi. Aliyense amene ali mbali yachoonadi amamvera mawu anga.”

Asilikali analuka nkhata yaminga ndi kumuveka pamutu pake. Kenaka anamuveka mkanjo wapepo ndipo ankapita kwa Iye mobwerezabwereza ndi kumanena kuti, “Moni mfumu ya Ayuda?” Ndipo amamumenya makofi.

Ayuda anayimirira nati, “Ife tili ndi lamulo, ndipo molingana ndi lamulolo, Iyeyu ayenera kuphedwa chifukwa akudzitcha kuti ndi Mwana wa Mulungu.”

Linali tsiku lokonzekera Sabata la Paska ndipo nthawi inali ora lachisanu ndi chimodzi masana. Pilato anati kwa Ayuda, “Nayi mfumu yanu.” Koma iwo anafuwula kuti, “Choka nayeni! Choka nayeni! Mpachikeni!” Pilato anafunsa kuti, “Kodi ine ndipachike mfumu yanuyi?” Akulu a ansembe anayankha kuti, “Ife tilibe mfumu ina koma Kaisara.”

Pilato analemba chikwangwani chomwe anachikhoma pa mtandapo. Panalembedwa mawu akuti, YESU WA KU NAZARETI, MFUMU YA AYUDA. Ayuda ambiri anawerenga chikwangwanichi, pakuti pamalo pamene Yesu anapachikidwapo panali pafupi ndi mzinda ndipo chikwangwanicho chinalembedwa mu Chiaramaiki, Chilatini ndi Chigriki. Kenaka mkulu wa ansembe wa Ayuda anakadandaula kwa Pilato nati, “Musalembe kuti ‘Mfumu ya Ayuda,’ koma kuti munthuyu amadzitcha kuti ndi mfumu ya Ayuda.” Pilato anayankha kuti, “Chimene ine ndalemba, ndalemba.”

Atadziwa kuti zonse zatha tsopano komanso kuti malemba akwaniritsidwe, Yesu anati, “Ine ndili ndi ludzu.”

Yesu atalandira chakumwachi anati, “Kwatha.” Ndipo Iye anaweramitsa mutu wake napereka mzimu wake.

ndipo anaona angelo awiri atavala zoyera, atakhala pamene panali mtembo wa Yesu, mmodzi kumutu ndi wina kumapazi. Iwo anamufunsa iye kuti, “Amayi, nʼchifukwa chiyani mukulira?” Iye anati, “Amuchotsa Mbuye wanga, ndipo ine sindikudziwa kumene iwo amuyika.” Atanena izi, iye anatembenuka ndipo anaona Yesu atayima potero koma iye sanazindikire kuti anali Yesu. Iye anati, “Amayi, mukulira chifukwa chiyani? Ndani amene mukumufunafuna?” Poganiza kuti anali mwini munda, iye anati, “Bwana, ngati inu mwamuchotsa, ndiwuzeni kumene mwamuyika, ndipo ine ndikamutenga.” Yesu anati kwa iye, “Mariya.” Anatembenukira kwa Iye nafuwula mu Chiaramaiki kuti, “Raboni!” (kutanthauza Mphunzitsi).

Madzulo a tsiku limenelo limene linali loyamba la Sabata ophunzira ake ali pamodzi, atatseka ndi kukhoma zitseko chifukwa choopa Ayuda, Yesu anabwera ndi kuyima pakati pawo nati, “Mtendere ukhale nanu!”

Patapita sabata, ophunzira ake analinso mʼnyumbamo ndipo Tomasi anali nawo. Ngakhale makomo anali otsekedwa, Yesu anabwera nayima pakati pawo, ndipo anati, “Mtendere ukhale nanu!” Kenaka anati kwa Tomasi, “Ika chala chako apa; ona manja anga. Tambasula dzanja lako ndi kukhudza mʼnthiti mwanga. Leka kukayika, khulupirira.” Tomasi anati kwa Iye, “Ambuye wanga ndi Mulungu wanga!”

Yesu anachita zodabwitsa zambiri pamaso pa ophunzira ake zimene sizinalembedwe mʼbuku lino. Koma izi zalembedwa kuti mukhulupirire kuti Yesu ndi Khristu, Mwana wa Mulungu, ndi kuti mukakhulupirira mukhale nawo moyo mʼdzina lake.

Iye anati, “Ponyani khoka lanu kudzanja lamanja la bwato lanu ndipo mupha kanthu.” Atatero, iwo analephera kukoka ukonde chifukwa chakuchuluka kwa nsomba. Kenaka ophunzira amene Yesu amamukonda anati kwa Petro, “Ndi Ambuye!” Petro atangomva iye akunena kuti ndi Ambuye, iye anavala chovala chake (pakuti anali atavula) ndipo analumphira mʼnyanja.

Koma palinso zina zambiri zimene Yesu anachita. Zikanalembedwa zonsezi, ndikhulupirira dziko lonse lapansi likanasowa malo osungirako mabuku onse amene akanalembedwa.

Zitatha zowawa zake Yesu anadzionetsa kwa ophunzira ake, ndi kuonetsanso maumboni ambiri kuti anali wamoyo. Iye anadzionetsera kwa iwo ndi kuwaphunzitsa za ufumu wa Mulungu pa masiku makumi anayi.

Atatha kuyankhula zimenezi, Yesu anatengedwa kupita kumwamba ophunzira ake akuona, ndipo anabisika mʼmitambo. Yesu akukwera kumwamba, ophunzira ake anayangʼanitsitsa ndi chidwi mʼmitambo. Mwadzidzidzi anaona anthu awiri ovala zoyera atayimirira pambali pawo. Iwo anati, “Inu, anthu a ku Galileya, chifukwa chiyani mukuyima ndi kumayangʼana mʼmitambo? Yesu amene wachotsedwa pakati panu ndi kupita kumwamba, adzabweranso mʼnjira yomweyi mwamuona akupita kumwamba.”

“Inu Aisraeli mverani mawu awa; Yesu wa ku Nazareti anali munthu amene anaperekedwa kwa inu ndi Mulungu. Ndipo Mulungu anakutsimikizirani zimenezi ndi zamphamvu, zodabwitsa ndi zizindikiro zimene anachita mwa Iye pakati panu, monga inu mukudziwa. Yesu ameneyu anaperekedwa kwa inu mwa kufuna ndi kudziwiratu kwa Mulungu; ndipo inu mothandizidwa ndi anthu oyipa, munamupha Iye pomupachika pa mtanda.

Davide ataoneratu zimene zinali mʼtsogolo anayankhula za kuuka kwa Khristu, kuti Iye sanasiyidwe mʼmanda, ndipo thupi lake silinawole.

Khristu anakwezedwa kukhala kudzanja lamanja la Mulungu, nalandira Mzimu Woyera amene Atate anamulonjeza, ndipo watipatsa ife zimene mukuona ndi kumvazi.

“Nʼchifukwa chake, Aisraeli onse adziwe ndithu kuti, Yesu amene inu munamupachika, Mulungu wamuyika kukhala Ambuye ndiponso Mpulumutsi.”

Inu munapha mwini moyo, koma Mulungu anamuukitsa kwa akufa. Ife ndife mboni za zimenezi.

tsono dziwani izi inu ndi aliyense mu Israeli: munthuyu akuyima pamaso panu, wochiritsidwa kwathunthu, ndi chifukwa cha dzina la Yesu Khristu wa ku Nazareti amene munamupachika koma Mulungu anamuukitsa kwa akufa. Iye ndi “ ‘Mwala umene amisiri omanga nyumba anawukana, umenewo wasanduka mwala wa pa ngodya!’ Chipulumutso sichipezeka mwa wina aliyense; pakuti palibe dzina lina pansi pa thambo limene lapatsidwa kwa anthu limene tiyenera kupulumutsidwa nalo.”

Mulungu wa makolo athu anamuukitsa Yesu, amene inu munamupha pomupachika pa mtengo. Mulungu anamukweza Iye ku dzanja lake lamanja kukhala Mfumu ndi Mpulumutsi kuti Iye apatse Aisraeli mtima wolapa ndi chikhululukiro cha machimo.

Koma Stefano, wodzaza ndi Mzimu Woyera, anayangʼana kumwamba ndipo anaona ulemerero wa Mulungu ndiponso Yesu atayimirira ku dzanja lamanja la Mulungu. Stefano anati, “Taonani, ndikuona kumwamba kotsekuka ndiponso Mwana wa Munthu atayimirira ku dzanja la manja la Mulungu.”

Mawu amene ndunayo imawerenga anali awa: “Monga mwana wankhosa wopita naye kokamupha amachitira, kapena monga nkhosa imakhalira duu poyimeta, momwemonso iye sanatsekule pakamwa pake.

Uwu ndi uthenga umene Mulungu anatumiza kwa Aisraeli, kulalikira Uthenga Wabwino wamtendere mwa Yesu Khristu amene ndi Ambuye wa onse.

kuti Mulungu, anamudzoza Yesu, wa ku Nazareti ndi Mzimu Woyera ndi mphamvu ndiponso mmene Iye anapita nachita zabwino ndi kuchiritsa onse amene anali pansi pa mphamvu ya mdierekezi, popeza kuti Mulungu anali naye.

koma Mulungu anamuukitsa kwa akufa pa tsiku lachitatu, ndipo analola kuti aonekere poyera. Iye sanaonekere kwa anthu onse koma kwa mboni zimene Mulungu anazisankhiratu, kwa ife amene timadya ndi kumwa naye atauka kwa akufa. Iye anatilamulira ife kuti tilalikire kwa anthu ndi kuchitira umboni kuti Iye ndiye amene Mulungu anamusankha kukhala woweruza wa amoyo ndi akufa. Aneneri onse achitira Iye umboni kuti aliyense amene akhulupirira Iye amakhululukidwa machimo chifukwa cha dzina lake.”

kuwafotokozera ndi kuwatsimikizira kuti Khristu anayenera kufa ndi kuuka. Iye anati, “Yesu amene ndikukulalikirani ndiye Khristu.”

Iwo ananena kuti Khristu adzamva zowawa ndipo popeza Iye adzakhala woyamba kuuka kwa akufa, adzalalikira za kuwunika kwa anthu a mtundu wake ndiponso kwa anthu a mitundu ina.”

Uthengawu ndi wonena za Mwana wake amene mwa umunthu wake anali wochokera mwa Davide. Iyeyu ndi amene anatsimikizidwa kukhala Mwana wa Mulungu mwamphamvu za Mzimu Woyera pamene anauka kwa akufa. Kudzera mwa Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu,

Tsopano popeza tayesedwa olungama mwa chikhulupiriro, tili ndi mtendere ndi Mulungu kudzera mwa Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu.

Koma Mulungu anaonetsa chikondi chake kwa ife chifukwa pamene tinali ochimwabe, Khristu anatifera. Popeza chifukwa cha magazi ake ife tapezeka olungama pamaso pa Mulungu, Iyeyo adzatipulumutsa koposa kotani ku mkwiyo wa Mulungu. Pakuti pamene tinali adani a Mulungu, tinayanjanitsidwa ndi Iye kudzera mu imfa ya Mwana wake. Nanga tidzapulumutsidwa bwanji kudzera mʼmoyo wake, titayanjanitsidwa naye? Sikuti izi zili chomwechi chabe, koma timakondweranso mwa Mulungu kudzera mwa Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu. Kudzera mwa Iye, ife tsopano tayanjanitsidwa ndi Mulungu.

Koma ngati tinafa pamodzi ndi Khristu, tikhulupirira kuti tidzakhalanso ndi moyo pamodzi ndi Iye. Pakuti tikudziwa kuti popeza Khristu anaukitsidwa kwa akufa, Iye sangafenso. Imfa ilibenso mphamvu pa Iye. Imfa imene Iye anafa, anafa ku tchimo kamodzi kokha, koma moyo umene akhala ndi wa kwa Mulungu. Kotero inunso, mudzione nokha ngati akufa ku tchimo koma a moyo kwa Mulungu mwa Khristu Yesu.

Pakuti malipiro a tchimo ndi imfa, koma mphatso yaulere imene Mulungu amapereka ndi moyo wosatha mwa Khristu Yesu Ambuye athu.

Choncho, tsopano amene ali mwa Khristu Yesu alibe mlandu owatsutsa chifukwa mwa Khristu Yesu, lamulo la Mzimu Woyera amene amapereka moyo, lawamasula ku lamulo la tchimo ndi la imfa. Pakuti zimene Malamulo sanathe kuzichita, popeza anali ofowoka chifukwa cha khalidwe lathu la uchimo, Mulungu anazichita potumiza Mwana wake mʼchifanizo cha munthu ochimwa kuti akhale nsembe yauchimo. Ndipo Iye anagonjetsa tchimo mʼthupi la munthu,

Ndani amene adzatilekanitsa ife ndi chikondi cha Khristu? Kodi ndi masautso, kapena zowawa, kapena mazunzo, kapena njala, kapena umaliseche, kapena choopsa, kapena lupanga?

Pakuti ine ndatsimikiza ndi mtima wonse kuti ngakhale imfa, kapena moyo, ngakhale angelo, kapena ziwanda, ngakhale zinthu zilipo, kapena zili mʼtsogolo, kapena mphamvu zina, ngakhale kutalika, kapena kuya, kapena chilichonse mʼchilengedwe chonse, sizingathe kutisiyanitsa ndi chikondi cha Mulungu chimene chili mwa Khristu Yesu Ambuye athu.

Awo ndi makolo athu. Kuchokera kwa iwo mʼthupi ndi kumene kunachokera makolo a Khristu Yesu amene ndi Mulungu wolamulira zinthu zonse, alemekezeke mpaka muyaya! Ameni.

kuti ngati udzavomereza ndi pakamwa pako kuti, “Yesu ndiye Ambuye,” ndi kukhulupirira mu mtima mwako kuti Mulungu anamuukitsa kwa akufa, udzapulumuka.

Pa chifukwa ichi, Khristu anafa ndi kuukanso kotero kuti Iye akhale ndi Ambuye wa akufa ndi amoyo.

Pakuti Khristu sananditume ine kudzabatiza, koma kudzalalikira Uthenga Wabwino, osati ndi mawu anzeru za umunthu, kuopa kuti mtanda wa Khristu ungakhale wopanda mphamvu. Pakuti uthenga wa mtanda ndi chopusa kwa iwo amene akuwonongeka, koma kwa ife amene tikupulumutsidwa uthengawu ndi mphamvu ya Mulungu.

koma ife timalalikira Khristu wopachikidwa. Chitsa chokhumudwitsa kwa Ayuda ndi chopusa kwa a mitundu ina. Koma kwa iwo amene Mulungu anawayitana, Ayuda ndi Agriki omwe, Khristu ndi mphamvu ya Mulungu ndi nzeru za Mulungu.

Nʼchifukwa cha Iye kuti inu muli mwa Khristu Yesu, amene wakhala nzeru ya kwa Mulungu, kwa ife, kunena kuti kulungama kwathu, chiyero ndi chipulumutso.

Pakuti ndinatsimikiza pamene ndinali ndi inu kuti ndisadziwe kanthu kena kupatula Yesu Khristu wopachikidwayo.

Palibe olamulira aliyense wa mʼbado uno amene anamumvetsetsa popeza anakamumvetsetsa sakanamupachika Ambuye wa ulemerero.

Mukasonkhana mu dzina la Ambuye athu Yesu, ine ndili nanu mu mzimu, ndipo mphamvu ya Ambuye athu Yesu ili pomwepo,

Chotsani yisiti wakale kuti mukhale ndi mphumphu yopanda yisiti, monga inu muli. Pakuti Khristu, Mwana Wankhosa wa Paska wathu, anaperekedwa nsembe.

koma kwa ife pali Mulungu mmodzi yekha, Atate, zinthu zonse zinachokera mwa Iye ndipo ndife ake. Komanso pali Ambuye mmodzi Yesu Khristu kumene zinthu zonse zinachokera ndipo mwa Iye ife tili ndi moyo.

Nʼchifukwa chake ndikuwuzani kuti palibe munthu amene ali ndi Mzimu wa Mulungu angayankhule kuti, “Yesu atembereredwe,” ndiponso palibe munthu anganene kuti “Yesu ndi Ambuye,” popanda kutsogozedwa ndi Mzimu Woyera.

Tsopano inu ndinu thupi la Khristu, ndipo aliyense wa inu ndi chiwalo cha thupilo. Ndipo Mulungu mu mpingo anayika poyamba atumwi, kachiwiri aneneri, kachitatu aphunzitsi, kenaka ochita zozizwitsa, ena a mphatso zamachiritso, ena a mphatso yothandiza anzawo, ena a mphatso yotsogolera ndiponso ena a mphatso ya malilime.

Pakuti chimene ndinalandira ndinapereka kwa inu monga chofunika kuposa zonse, kuti Khristu anafera zoyipa zathu monga mwa Malemba, kuti anayikidwa mʼmanda, kuti anaukitsidwa tsiku lachitatu monga mwa Malemba; ndipo kuti anaonekera kwa Petro, ndipo kenaka kwa Atumwi khumi ndi awiriwo. Pambuyo pake, Iye anaonekera kwa anthu oposa 500 mwa abale pa nthawi imodzi, ndipo ambiri mwa iwo akanali ndi moyo ngakhale kuti ena anagona tulo.

Koma nʼzoonadi kuti Khristu anaukitsidwa kwa kufa, chipatso choyamba cha onse ogona tulo. Pakuti monga imfa inadza kudzera mwa munthu, kuuka kwa akufa kwabweranso kudzera mwa munthu. Pakuti monga mwa Adamu onse amafa, chomwechonso mwa Khristu onse adzakhala ndi amoyo. Koma aliyense adzauka pa nthawi yake. Khristu ndiye woyambirira, pambuyo pake, pamene Khristu adzabwera, iwo amene ali ake adzauka. Pamenepo chimaliziro chidzafika, pamene Iye adzapereka ufumu kwa Mulungu Atate, atathetsa ufumu wonse, ulamuliro wonse ndi mphamvu zonse. Pakuti Iye ayenera kulamulira mpaka Mulungu atayika pansi pa mapazi ake adani ake onse. Mdani wotsiriza kuwonongedwa ndi imfa. Pakuti Mulungu “wayika zinthu zonse pansi pa mapazi ake.” Ponena kuti wayika “zinthu zonse pansi pa mapazi ake,” nʼchodziwikiratu kuti sakuphatikizapo ndi Mulungu yemwe, amene anayika zinthu zonse pansi pa Khristu. Pamene adzatsiriza kuchita zimenezi, Mwana weniweniyo adzakhala pansi pa ulamuliro wa Iye amene anayika zinthu zonse pansi pake, kuti Mulungu akhale zonse mu zonse.

Koma nzeru zawo zinawumitsidwa, pakuti mpaka lero chophimbira chomwecho chikanalipo pamene akuwerenga Chipangano Chakale. Sichinachotsedwebe, chifukwa chimachotsedwa ngati munthuyo ali mwa Khristu yekha.

Koma ngakhale uthenga wathu wabwino utakhala wophimbika, ndi wophimbika kwa okhawo amene akutayika. Mulungu wa dziko lapansi anachititsa khungu anthu osakhulupirira, kuti asathe kuona kuwala kwa Uthenga Wabwino umene umaonetsa ulemerero wa Khristu, amene ndi chifaniziro cha Mulungu. Choncho sitilalikira za ife eni, koma Yesu Khristu monga Ambuye, ife ndife atumiki anu chifukwa cha Yesu. Pakuti Mulungu amene anati, “Kuwala kuwunike kuchokera mu mdima,” Iyeyo ndiye anawunikira mʼmitima mwathu kutipatsa kuwala kuti tidziwe ulemerero wa Mulungu umene ukuoneka pa nkhope ya Yesu Khristu.

Pakuti tonsefe tiyenera kukaonekera pa mpando woweruza wa Khristu, kuti aliyense wa ife akalandire zomuyenera molingana ndi zimene anachita ali mʼthupi; zabwino kapena zoyipa.

Nʼchifukwa chake, ngati munthu aliyense ali mwa Khristu, ndi wolengedwa kwatsopano; zinthu zakale zapita taonani, zakhala zatsopano.

Chifukwa cha ife, Mulungu anasandutsa wopanda tchimoyo kukhala tchimo, kuti mwa Iye ife tikakhale chilungamo cha Mulungu.

Pakuti mukudziwa chisomo cha Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu, kuti ngakhale anali wolemera, koma chifukwa cha inuyo anasanduka wosauka, kuti umphawi wakewo, inuyo mulemere.

Ndinapachikidwa pa mtanda pamodzi ndi Khristu, kotero kuti sindinenso amene ndili ndi moyo, koma ndi Khristu amene ali ndi moyo mwa ine. Moyo umene ndili nawo tsopano mʼthupi lino, ndi moyo mwachikhulupiriro mwa Mwana wa Mulungu, amene anandikonda nadzipereka yekha chifukwa cha ine.

Khristu anatiwombola ku temberero la lamulo pokhala temberero mʼmalo mwathu, pakuti analemba kuti, “Aliyense wopachikidwa pamtengo ndi wotembereredwa.”

Koma nthawi itakwana, Mulungu anatumiza Mwana wake, wobadwa mwa mayi, wobadwa pansi pa lamulo, kudzawombola amene anali pansi pa lamulo, kuti tilandiridwe monga ana.

Ndimapemphera kuti Mulungu wa Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu, Atate a ulemerero akupatseni mzimu wa nzeru ndi wa vumbulutso, kuti mumudziwe kwenikweni. Ndimapempheranso kuti maso a mitima yanu atsekuke ndi cholinga choti mudziwe chiyembekezo chimene Iye anakuyitanirani, chuma cha ulemerero chomwe chili mwa anthu oyera mtima. Ndiponso ndikufuna kuti mudziwe mphamvu zake zazikulu koposa zimene zili mwa ife amene timakhulupirira. Mphamvuyi ndi yofanana ndi mphamvu yoposa ija imene inagwira ntchito pamene Mulungu anaukitsa Khristu kwa akufa, namukhazika Iye ku dzanja lake lamanja mʼdziko la kumwamba. Anamukhazika pamwamba pa ulamuliro onse ndi mafumu, mphamvu ndi ufumu, ndiponso pamwamba pa dzina lililonse limene angalitchule, osati nthawi ino yokha komanso imene ikubwerayo. Ndipo Mulungu anayika zinthu zonse pansi pa mapazi ake ndi kumusankha Iyeyo kukhala mutu pa chilichonse chifukwa cha mpingo, umene ndi thupi lake, chidzalo cha Iye amene adzaza chilichonse mu njira iliyonse.

Ndinu okhazikika pa maziko a atumwi ndi a aneneri, pamodzi ndi Khristu Yesu mwini ngati mwala wa pa ngodya. Mwa Iyeyo, nyumba yonse yalumikizidwa pamodzi ndipo yakwezedwa kukhala Nyumba yoyera mwa Ambuye. Ndipo mwa Iye, inunso mukamangidwa pamodzi ndi ena onse kukhala nyumba yokhalamo imene Mulungu amakhala mwa Mzimu wake.

Iye amene anatsika ndi yemweyo anakwera koposa mʼmayiko a kumwamba onse, ndi cholinga choti zinthu zonse zikhale zodzaza ndi Iye.

Mʼmalo mwake, poyankhula choonadi mwachikondi, tidzakula mu zinthu zonse ndi kukhala thupi la Khristu, amene ndi Mutu, omwe ndi mpingo. Mwa Iye thupi lonse lalumikizidwa ndi kugwirana pamodzi ndi mitsempha yothandizira. Likukula ndi kudzilimbitsa lokha mwachikondi, pomwe chiwalo chilichonse chikugwira ntchito yake.

Choncho, monga ana okondedwa, tsatirani chitsanzo cha Mulungu. Muzikondana monga Khristu anakonda ife nadzipereka yekha chifukwa cha ife monga chopereka cha fungo lokoma ndi nsembe kwa Mulungu.

pakuti ndife ziwalo za thupi lake.

Pa ubale wanu wina ndi mnzake, mukhale ndi mtima wofanana ndi wa Khristu Yesu: Iyeyu, pokhala Mulungu ndithu, sanatenge kufanana ndi Mulungu kukhala chinthu choyenera kuchigwiritsa. Koma anadzichepetsa kotheratu nakhala ndi khalidwe ngati la kapolo ndi kukhala munthu ngati anthu ena onse. Ndipo pokhala munthu choncho anadzichepetsa yekha ndipo anamvera mpaka imfa yake, imfa yake ya pamtanda! Choncho Mulungu anamukweza Iye kukhala wapamwamba kwambiri, ndipo anamupatsa dzina loposa dzina lina lililonse kuti pakumva dzina la Yesu, bondo lililonse limugwadire, kumwamba ndi pa dziko lapansi ndi pansi pa dziko, ndipo lilime lililonse livomereze kuti Yesu Khristu ndi Ambuye kuchitira ulemu Mulungu Atate.

Ine ndikufuna kudziwa Khristu, ndithu, kudziwa mphamvu zake za kuuka kwa akufa. Ndikufuna kuyanjana naye mʼmasautso ake, kufanana naye pa imfa yake kuti nanenso ndidzaukitsidwe kwa akufa.

Pakuti Iye anatipulumutsa ku ulamuliro wa mdima ndi kutibweretsa mu ufumu wa Mwana wake wokondedwa. Mwa Iyeyu ife tinawomboledwa ndi kukhululukidwa machimo. Mwanayu ndiye chithunzi cha Mulungu wosaonekayo. Iye ndiye Mwana wake woyamba kubadwa ndi wolamulira zolengedwa zonse. Pakuti zinthu zonse zinalengedwa kudzera mwa Iye. Zinthu zakumwamba ndi za pa dziko lapansi, zooneka ndi zosaoneka, maufumu, akuluakulu, aulamuliro ndi amphamvu. Zinthu zonse zinalengedwa kudzera mwa Iye ndipo anazilengera Iyeyo. Iyeyo analipo zinthu zonse zisanalengedwe ndipo zinthu zonse zimamangika pamodzi mwa Iye. Iye ndiyenso mutu wa thupi, limene ndi mpingo. Iye ndiye chiyambi chake, woyamba kuuka kwa akufa, kuti Iyeyo akhale wopambana zonse. Pakuti kunamukomera Mulungu kuti umulungu wake wonse ukhalemo mwa Khristu. Ndipo kudzera mwa Iye Mulungu ayanjanitsenso zinthu zonse ndi Iye mwini, zinthu za pa dziko lapansi, kapena zinthu za kumwamba. Iye anachita mtendere kudzera mʼmagazi ake, wokhetsedwa pa mtanda.

Cholinga changa nʼchakuti alimbikitsidwe ndi kuyanjana pamodzi mʼchikondi, akhale odzaza ndi nzeru zomvetsa zinthu, ndi kuti azindikire chinsinsi cha Mulungu, chimene ndi Khristu. Mwa Iyeyu muli chuma chonse chobisidwa cha nzeru ndi chidziwitso.

Pakuti mʼthupi la Khristu mumakhala umulungu wonse wathunthu. Ndipo inunso ndinu athunthu mwa Khristu. Iye ndiye mtsogoleri wa pamwamba pa maufumu onse ndi maulamuliro wonse.

Ndipo atalanda zida maufumu ndi maulamuliro, Iye anawachititsa manyazi powayendetsa pamaso pa anthu onse atawagonjetsa ndi mtanda.

Tsono popeza munaukitsidwa pamodzi ndi Khristu, ikani mitima yanu pa zinthu za kumwamba, kumene Khristu akukhala ku dzanja lamanja la Mulungu.

Pakuti pali Mulungu mmodzi yekha ndi Mʼkhalapakati mmodzi yekha pakati pa Mulungu ndi anthu, munthu uja Khristu Yesu. Iyeyu anadzipereka kukhala dipo lowombolera anthu onse. Umenewu ndi umboni umene waperekedwa mu nthawi yake yoyenera.

Mosakayikira, chinsinsi cha chikhulupiriro chathu chachikulu: Khristu anaonekera ali ndi thupi la munthu, Mzimu anamuchitira umboni, angelo anamuona, analalikidwa pakati pa mitundu yonse, dziko lapansi linamukhulupirira, anatengedwa kupita kumwamba mwa ulemerero.

Usunge lamuloli mopanda banga ndi cholakwa kufikira Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu ataonekera. Pa nthawi yake Mulungu adzamubweretsa kwa ife. Mulungu ndi wodalitsika ndipo Iye yekha ndiye Wolamulira, Mfumu ya mafumu, Mbuye wa ambuye. Ndiye yekha wosafa ndipo amakhala mʼkuwala koopsa. Mulungu amene munthu aliyense sanamuone. Kwa Iye kukhale ulemu ndi mphamvu mpaka muyaya. Ameni.

Pamaso pa Mulungu ndi pamaso pa Khristu Yesu, amene adzaweruza amoyo ndi akufa omwe pamene adzaonekera ndi ufumu wake, ndikukulamula kuti:

pamene tikudikira chiyembekezo chodala; kuonekera kwa ulemerero wa Mulungu wathu wamkulu ndi Mpulumutsi, Yesu Khristu,

Kale lija Mulungu ankayankhula ndi makolo athu pa nthawi zosiyanasiyana ndiponso mwa njira zosiyanasiyana kudzera mwa aneneri. Koma masiku otsiriza ano, Mulungu wayankhula nafe kudzera mwa Mwana wake. Mwanayu anamusankha kuti akhale mwini wa zinthu zonse, ndiponso Mulungu analenga dziko lonse kudzera mwa Iye. Mwanayo ndiye kuwala kwa ulemerero wa Mulungu, chithunzithunzi chenicheni cha khalidwe lake. Iyeyu amachirikiza zinthu zonse ndi mphamvu ya mawu ake. Iye atayeretsa anthu kuchoka ku machimo awo, anakhala pansi kumwamba kudzanja lamanja la Mulungu waulemerero.

Kodi ndi kwa mngelo uti, kumene Mulungu anati, “Iwe ndiwe mwana wanga; Ine lero ndakhala Atate ako.” Kapena kunenanso kuti, “Ine ndidzakhala abambo ake; iye adzakhala mwana wanga.” Pamene Mulungu amatuma Mwana wake woyamba kubadwa ku dziko lapansi anati, “Angelo onse a Mulungu amupembedze Iye.”

Koma za Mwana wake akuti, “Inu Mulungu, mpando wanu waufumu udzakhala mpaka muyaya, ndipo mudzaweruza molungama mu ufumu wanu. Mwakonda chilungamo ndi kudana ndi zoyipa; Nʼchifukwa chake, Mulungu wanu wakukwezani kuposa anzanu pokudzozani mafuta osonyeza chimwemwe.” Mulungu akutinso, “Ambuye, pachiyambi Inu munayika maziko a dziko lapansi; ndipo zakumwambako ndi ntchito za manja anu. Zimenezi zidzatha, koma Inu ndinu wachikhalire. Izo zidzatha ngati zovala. Mudzazipindapinda ngati chofunda; ndipo zidzasinthidwa ngati chovala. Koma Inu simudzasintha, ndipo zaka zanu sizidzatha.”

Popeza Iye mwini anamva zowawa pamene anayesedwa, Iyeyo angathe kuthandiza amene akuyesedwanso.

Nʼchifukwa chake abale oyera mtima, amenenso munayitanidwa ndi kumwamba, lingalirani za Yesu amene ndi Mtumwi ndi Mkulu wa ansembe wa chikhulupiriro chimene timavomereza.

Popeza kuti tili ndi Mkulu wa ansembe wopambana, amene analowa kale kumwamba, Yesu Mwana wa Mulungu, tiyeni tigwiritsitse chikhulupiriro chathu chimene timavomereza. Pakuti sitili ndi Mkulu wa ansembe amene sangathe kutimvera chifundo chifukwa cha zofowoka zathu. Koma tili naye amene anayesedwa mʼnjira zonse monga ife, koma sanachimwe.

Yesu, pa nthawi imene anali munthu pa dziko lapansi pano, anapereka mapemphero ake ndi zopempha mofuwula ndi misozi kwa Iye amene akanamupulumutsa ku imfa, ndipo anamumvera chifukwa anagonjera modzipereka. Ngakhale Iye anali Mwana wa Mulungu anaphunzira kumvera pomva zowawa. Atasanduka wangwiro kotheratu, anakhala gwero la chipulumutso chosatha kwa onse omvera Iye. Ndipo Mulungu anamuyika kukhala Mkulu wa ansembe, monga mwa dongosolo la unsembe wa Melikizedeki.

Koma Yesu popeza ndi wamuyaya, unsembe wake ndi wosatha. Chifukwa chake Iye amapulumutsa kwathunthu amene amabwera kwa Mulungu kudzera mwa Iyeyo. Iye ali ndi moyo nthawi zonse kuti adziwapempherera iwo. Uyu ndi Mkulu wa ansembe amene tikumufuna chifukwa ndi woyera, wopanda choyipa kapena chodetsa chilichonse, wosiyana ndi anthu ochimwa, ndiponso wokwezedwa kuposa zonse zakumwambaku. Kusiyana ndi akulu a ansembe ena aja, Yesu sanafunike kupereka nsembe tsiku ndi tsiku poyamba chifukwa cha machimo ake, ndipo kenaka chifukwa cha machimo a anthu ena. Iye anadzipereka nsembe chifukwa cha machimo awo kamodzi kokha pamene anadzipereka yekha. Pakuti lamulo limasankha anthu amene ndi ofowoka kukhala akulu a ansembe; koma lumbiro, lomwe linabwera pambuyo pa lamulo, linasankha Mwana, amene anapangidwa kukhala wangwiro kwamuyaya.

Fundo yayikulu pa zimene tikunenazi ndi iyi: Tili naye ife Mkulu wa ansembe, amene anakhala ku dzanja lamanja la mpando waufumu wa Mulungu Waulemerero kumwamba.

Ngati pangano loyamba lija likanakhala langwiro, sipakanafunikanso lina mʼmalo mwake. Koma Mulungu anapeza zolakwika pakati pa anthu ndipo anati, “Masiku akubwera,” akutero Yehova, “pamene ndidzachita pangano latsopano ndi Aisraeli ndiponso nyumba ya Yuda.

Ponena kuti, pangano “latsopano” Mulungu wapanga pangano loyamba lija kukhala lotha ntchito, ndipo chilichonse chimene chayamba kutha ntchito ndi kukalamba, chili pafupi kuchokeratu.

Koma Khristu atafika monga Mkulu wa ansembe wa zinthu zokoma zimene zilipo tsopano, Iye analowa mʼChihema chachikulu ndiponso changwiro chimene sichinamangidwe ndi munthu, ndiye kuti sichili pansi pano. Iye sanalowemo ndi magazi ambuzi yayimuna, ana angʼombe amphongo, koma analowa Malo Opatulika kamodzi kokha ndi magazi ake, atatikonzera chipulumutso chosatha.

Pa chifukwa chimenechi Khristu ndi mʼkhalapakati wa pangano latsopano, kuti iwo amene anayitanidwa alandire chuma chamuyaya, pakuti Iye tsopano anafa ngati dipo lomasula iwo ku machimo amene anachita ali pansi pa pangano loyamba lija. Ngati munthu alemba pangano losiyira ena chuma, pafunika kutsimikiza kuti wolemba panganolo wamwaliradi, chifukwa pangano lotere limakhala ndi mphamvu ngati wolembayo wamwalira. Siligwira ntchito pamene wolembayo ali ndi moyo. Nʼchifukwa chake pangano loyamba lija silinachitike popanda kukhetsa magazi.

Monga mwa malamulo titha kunena kuti, pafupifupi zinthu zonse zimayeretsedwa ndi magazi ndipo popanda kukhetsa magazi palibe kukhululukidwa machimo.

Pakuti Khristu sanalowe mʼmalo opatulika omangidwa ndi anthu amene anali chifaniziro cha malo enieniwo. Iye analowa kumwamba kwenikweniko kuti azionekera pamaso pa Mulungu chifukwa cha ife.

momwemonso Khristu anadzipereka nsembe kamodzi kokha kuchotsa machimo a anthu ambiri. Ndipo Iye adzaonekanso kachiwiri, osati kudzachotsa tchimo, koma kudzapereka chipulumutso kwa amene akumudikira.

Koma pamene wansembe uyu anapereka kamodzi kokha nsembe imodzi yokha chifukwa cha machimo, Iye anakhala pansi ku dzanja lamanja la Mulungu.

Ndipo tsono abale, molimba mtima timalowa mʼMalo Opatulika kwambiri chifukwa cha magazi a Yesu. Iye anatitsekulira njira yatsopano ndi yamoyo kudutsa chinsalu chotchinga, chimene ndi thupi lake. Ndiponso tili ndi wansembe wamkulu woyangʼanira nyumba ya Mulungu.

Tiyeni tiyangʼanitsitse Yesu, amene ndi woyamba ndi wotsiriza wa chikhulupiriro chathu. Chifukwa cha chimwemwe chimene chimamudikira anapirira zowawa zapamtanda. Iye ananyoza manyazi a imfa yotere ndipo tsopano akukhala ku dzanja lamanja la mpando waufumu wa Mulungu. Muzilingalira za Iye amene anapirira udani waukulu chotere wochokera kwa anthu ochimwa, kuti musafowoke ndi kutaya mtima.

Kwa Yesu mʼkhalapakati wa pangano latsopano, ndiponso mwafika ku magazi owazidwa amene amayankhula mawu abwino kuposa magazi a Abele.

Yesu Khristu ndi yemweyo dzulo, lero ndi kunthawi zonse.

Mulungu wamtendere, amene kudzera mʼmagazi a pangano lamuyaya anaukitsa Ambuye athu Yesu kwa akufa, amene ndi Mʼbusa wamkulu, akupatseni chilichonse chabwino kuti muchite chifuniro chake ndipo Mulungu achite mwa ife, chimene chingamukomere kudzera mwa Yesu Khristu. Kwa Iye kukhale ulemerero ku nthawi zanthawi, Ameni.

Abale anga, okhulupirira Yesu Khristu waulemerero, musaonetse tsankho.

Alemekezedwe Mulungu, Atate wa Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu. Mwachifundo chake chachikulu anatibadwitsa kwatsopano, mʼchiyembekezo chamoyo pomuukitsa Yesu Khristu kwa akufa, kuti tidzalandire chuma chomwe sichingawonongeke, kuyipitsidwa kapena kufota. Chuma chimenechi akukusungirani kumwamba. Mwachikhulupiriro, mukusungidwa ndi mphamvu ya Mulungu mpaka chipulumutso chitafika chimene chinakonzedwa kuti adzachionetse nthawi yotsiriza.

Koma munawomboledwa ndi magazi a mtengowapatali a Khristu, Mwana Wankhosa wopanda banga kapena chilema. Iye anasankhidwa lisanalengedwe dziko lapansi, koma waonetsedwa chifukwa cha inu pa nthawi ino yotsiriza. Kudzera mwa Iye mumakhulupirira Mulungu, amene anamuukitsa kwa akufa namupatsa ulemerero. Nʼchifukwa chake chikhulupiriro ndi chiyembekezo chanu chili mwa Mulungu.

Pamene mukubwera kwa Iye, amene ndi Mwala wa moyo, umene anthu anawukana, koma Mulungu anawusankha kuti ndi wa mtengowapatali, inunso, mukhale ngati miyala ya moyo yoti Mulungu amangire nyumba yake yauzimu kuti mukhale ansembe opatulika, opereka nsembe zauzimu zovomerezeka ndi Mulungu mwa Yesu Khristu. Pakuti mʼMalemba mwalembedwa kuti, “Taonani, ndikuyika mwala wa maziko mu Ziyoni, wosankhika ndi wamtengowapatali. Amene akhulupirira Iye sadzachititsidwa manyazi.”

Tsono kwa inu okhulupirira, mwalawo ndi wamtengowapatali. Koma kwa amene sakhulupirira, “Mwala umene amisiri anawukana wasanduka mwala wa maziko, ndi “Mwala wopunthwitsa anthu ndiponso thanthwe limene limagwetsa anthu.” Iwo amapunthwa chifukwa samvera uthenga, pakuti ichi ndiye chinali chifuniro cha Mulungu pa iwo.

Munayitanidwa kudzachita zimenezi, chifukwa Khristu anamva zowawa chifukwa cha inu, anakusiyirani chitsanzo, kuti inu mutsatire mʼmapazi ake. “Iye sanachite tchimo kapena kunena bodza.” Pamene anthu ankamuchita chipongwe, Iye sanabwezere chipongwe, pamene Iye ankamva zowawa, sanaopseze. Mʼmalo mwake, anadzipereka kwa Mulungu amene amaweruza molungama. Iye mwini anasenza machimo athu mʼthupi lake pa mtanda, kuti ife tife kutchimo ndi kukhala ndi moyo potsata chilungamo, ndipo ndi mabala ake munachiritsidwa. Pakuti munali monga nkhosa zosochera, koma tsopano mwabwerera kwa mʼbusa ndi woyangʼanira miyoyo yanu.

Pakuti Khristu anafa chifukwa cha machimo kamodzi kokha kufera onse, wolungama kufera osalungama, kuti akufikitseni kwa Mulungu. Anaphedwa ku thupi koma anapatsidwa moyo mu mzimu.

Madziwo akufanizira ubatizo umene lero ukukupulumutsaninso, osati chifukwa chochotsa litsiro la mʼthupi koma chifukwa cha chikumbumtima choona pamaso pa Mulungu. Umakupulumutsani chifukwa cha kuuka kwa Yesu Khristu, amene anapita kumwamba ndipo ali kudzanja lamanja la Mulungu komwe angelo ndi maulamuliro ndi amphamvu amamvera Iye.

Ndine Simoni Petro, mtumiki ndi mtumwi wa Yesu Khristu. Kwa anthu amene analandira chikhulupiriro cha mtengowapatali chomwe ifenso tinalandira chifukwa cha chilungamo cha Mulungu ndi Mpulumutsi wathu Yesu Khristu. Chisomo ndi mtendere zochuluka zikhale nanu pomudziwa Mulungu ndi Yesu Ambuye athu.

Mudzalandiridwa bwino kwambiri mu ufumu wosatha wa Ambuye ndi Mpulumutsi wathu Yesu Khristu.

Ife sitinatsate nkhani zongopeka titakuwuzani za mphamvu zake ndi zakubweranso kwa Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu, koma tinaona ndi maso athu za ukulu wake. Pakuti Iye analandira ulemu ndi ulemerero kuchokera kwa Mulungu Atate atamufikira mawu ochokera ku ulemerero wa ukulu akuti, “Uyu ndi mwana wanga amene Ine ndimukonda, amene ndimakondwera naye kwambiri.”

Koma kulani mu chisomo ndi mʼchidziwitso cha Ambuye ndi Mpulumutsi wathu Yesu Khristu. Kwa Iye kukhale ulemerero tsopano mpaka muyaya. Ameni.

Inu Ana anga okondedwa, ndikukulemberani zimenezi kuti musachimwe. Koma wina akachimwa, tili nayo Nkhoswe yotinenera kwa Atate, Yesu Khristu, Wolungamayo. Iyeyo ndiye nsembe yopepesera machimo athu, ndipo osati athu okha, komanso machimo onse a dziko lapansi.

Koma inu mukudziwa kuti Yesu anabwera kuti adzachotse machimo athu. Ndipo mwa Iye mulibe tchimo.

Tikudziwa kuti Mwana wa Mulungu anafika ndipo anatipatsa nzeru, kuti timudziwe Iye amene ali woona. Ndipo ife tili mwa Iye amene ndi woona, Mwana wake, Yesu Khristu. Iye ndi Mulungu woona ndi moyo wosatha.

kwa Mulungu yekhayo, Mpulumutsi wathu, kwa Iye kukhale ulemerero, ukulu, mphamvu ndi ulamuliro, mwa Yesu Khristu Ambuye athu, kuyambira isanayambe nthawi, tsopano mpaka muyaya. Ameni.

Ndine Yohane, Kupita ku mipingo isanu ndi iwiri ya mʼchigawo cha Asiya. Chisomo ndi mtendere kwa inu, kuchokera kwa Iye amene ali, amene analipo ndi amene akubwera ndi kwa mizimu isanu ndi iwiri yokhala patsogolo pa mpando wake waufumu, ndiponso kuchokera kwa Yesu Khristu mboni yokhulupirika, woyamba kuukitsidwa, ndi wolamulira mafumu a dziko lapansi. Kwa Iye amene amatikonda ndipo watimasula ku machimo athu ndi magazi ake, ndipo watisandutsa mafumu ndi ansembe kuti tizitumikira Mulungu ndi Atate ake. Kwa Iye kukhale ulemerero ndi mphamvu ku nthawi zosatha, Ameni. “Onani akubwera ndi mitambo,” ndipo “Aliyense adzamuona, ndi amene anamubaya omwe.” Ndipo anthu a mitundu yonse ya pa dziko lapansi “adzalira chingʼangʼadza chifukwa cha Iye.” Zidzakhaladi momwemo, Ameni.

“Ine ndine Alefa ndi Omega,” akutero Ambuye Mulungu Wamphamvuzonseyo “amene muli, amene munalipo, ndi amene mudzakhalapo.”

amene anati, “Lemba mʼbuku zimene ukuziona ndipo uzitumize ku mipingo isanu ndi iwiri ya ku Efeso, Simurna, Pergamo, Tiyatira, Sarde, Filadefiya ndi ku Laodikaya.”

Nditatembenuka kuti ndione amene amandiyankhulayo, ndinaona zoyikapo nyale zisanu ndi ziwiri zagolide. Pakati pa zoyikapo nyalezo ndinaona wina wooneka ngati Mwana wa Munthu atavala mkanjo wofika kumapazi ake ndipo anamangirira lamba wagolide pa chifuwa pake. Tsitsi lake linali loyera ngati thonje, kuyera ngati matalala, ndipo maso ake amawala ngati malawi amoto. Mapazi ake anali ngati chitsulo choti chili mʼngʼanjo yamoto, ndipo mawu ake anali ngati mkokomo wamadzi othamanga. Mʼdzanja lake lamanja ananyamula nyenyezi zisanu ndi ziwiri, ndipo mʼkamwa mwake munali lupanga lakuthwa konsekonse. Nkhope yake imawala ngati dzuwa lowala kwambiri.

Nditamuona ndinagwa pa mapazi ake ngati wakufa. Kenaka Iye anasanjika dzanja lake lamanja pa ine nati, “Usachite mantha. Ndine Woyamba ndi Wotsiriza. Ine ndine Wamoyo; ndinali wakufa ndipo taona ndine wamoyo mpaka muyaya! Ndipo ndili ndi makiyi a imfa ndi Hade.

Tsono mmodzi mwa akuluakulu aja anati kwa ine, “Usalire! Taona, Mkango wa fuko la Yuda, Muzu wa Davide, wapambana. Iye angathe kufutukula bukuli ndi kumatula zomatira zisanu ndi ziwirizo.” Kenaka ndinaona Mwana Wankhosa akuoneka ngati wophedwa atayimirira pakatikati pa mpando waufumu uja ndi zamoyo zinayi zija ndi akuluakulu aja. Mwana Wankhosayo anali ndi nyanga zisanu ndi ziwiri ndi maso asanu ndi awiri omwe ndi Mizimu isanu ndi iwiri ya Mulungu yomwe anayitumiza ku dziko lonse lapansi.

Ndipo ankayimba nyimbo yatsopano yakuti, “Inu ndinu woyenera kulandira bukuli ndi kumatula zomatira zake, chifukwa munaphedwa, ndipo magazi anu munagulira Mulungu anthu a fuko lililonse, a chiyankhulo chilichonse, ndi mtundu uliwonse.

Kenaka nditayangʼananso ndinamva mawu a angelo ambiri, miyandamiyanda kuchulukitsa ndi miyandamiyanda. Anazungulira mpando waufumu pamodzi ndi zamoyo zija ndi akuluakulu aja. Ndipo angelowo anayimba ndi mawu ofuwula akuti, “Mwana Wankhosa amene anaphedwayu ndi woyenera kulandira ulamuliro, chuma, nzeru, mphamvu, ulemu, ulemerero ndi mayamiko.” Kenaka ndinamva mawu a cholengedwa chilichonse kumwamba, pa dziko lapansi, kunsi kwa dziko lapansi, pa nyanja ndi zonse zili mʼmenemo zikuyimba kuti, “Kwa wokhala pa mpando waufumu ndi kwa Mwana Wankhosa, kukhale mayamiko, ulemu, ulemerero ndi mphamvu mpaka muyaya!” Zamoyo zinayi zija zinati: “Ameni,” ndipo akuluakulu aja anadzigwetsa pansi napembedza.

Zitatha izi ndinayangʼana patsogolo panga ndipo ndinaona gulu lalikulu la anthu loti munthu sangathe kuliwerenga lochokera dziko lililonse, fuko lililonse, mtundu wa anthu uliwonse ndi chiyankhulo chilichonse, atayima patsogolo pa mpando waufumu, pamaso pa Mwana Wankhosa. Iwo anali atavala mikanjo yoyera ndi kunyamula nthambi za kanjedza mʼmanja mwawo. Ndipo ankafuwula mokweza kuti: “Chipulumutso chimachokera kwa Mulungu wathu, wokhala pa mpando waufumu ndi kwa Mwana Wankhosa.” “Angelo onse anayimirira kuzungulira mpando waufumu uja, kuzunguliranso akuluakulu aja ndi zamoyo zinayi zija. Angelo aja anadzigwetsa pansi chafufumimba patsogolo pa mpando waufumu napembedza Mulungu.

Pakuti Mwana Wankhosa amene ali pakati pa mpando waufumu adzakhala mʼbusa wawo. ‘Iye adzawatsogolera ku akasupe a madzi amoyo.’ ‘Ndipo Mulungu adzawapukuta misozi yonse mʼmaso mwawo.’ ”

Mngelo wachisanu ndi chiwiri anawomba lipenga lake, ndipo kumwamba kunamveka mawu ofuwula amene anati, “Ufumu wa dziko lapansi uli mʼmanja mwa Ambuye athu ndi Khristu wake uja, ndipo adzalamulira mpaka muyaya.”

Abale athuwo anamugonjetsa ndi magazi a Mwana Wankhosa ndiponso mawu a umboni wawo. Iwo anadzipereka kwathunthu, moti sanakonde miyoyo yawo.

Kenaka ndinaona patsogolo panga panali Mwana Wankhosa, atayimirira pa Phiri la Ziyoni, ndipo Iye anali pamodzi ndi anthu 144,000 amene pa mphumi pawo panalembedwa dzina la Mwana Wankhosayo ndi la Atate ake.

Ndinayangʼana patsogolo panga ndinaona mtambo woyera patakhalapo wina ngati Mwana wa Munthu, kumutu atavala chipewa chaufumu chagolide ndipo mʼdzanja mwake munali chikwakwa chakunthwa.

Iwo adzachita nkhondo ndi Mwana Wankhosa, koma Mwana Wankhosayo adzawagonjetsa chifukwa Iye ndi Mbuye wa ambuye ndi Mfumu ya mafumu, ndipo amene adzakhala ndi Iye ndi oyitanidwa ake, osankhidwa ndi otsatira ake okhulupirika.”

Ndinaona kumwamba kutatsekuka ndipo patsogolo panga panali kavalo woyera, amene anakwerapo dzina lake linali Wokhulupirika ndiponso Woona. Poweruza ndi kuchita nkhondo, amachita molungama. Maso ake anali ngati malawi amoto, ndipo pamutu pake panali zipewa zaufumu zambiri. Anali ndi dzina lolembedwa, lodziwika ndi Iye yekha, osati wina aliyense. Iye anavala mkanjo woviyika mʼmagazi, ndipo dzina lake ndi Mawu a Mulungu. Magulu ankhondo akumwamba ankamutsatira atakwera pa akavalo oyera, ndipo iwowo atavala nsalu zoyera kwambiri ndi zosada. Mʼkamwa mwake munatuluka lupanga lakuthwa limene anati akaphe nalo mitundu ya anthu. Iye adzalamulira ndi ndodo yachitsulo. Iye anaponda choponderamo mphesa cha ukali wa Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse. Pa chovala ndi pa ntchafu pake panalembedwa dzina ili: MFUMU YA MAFUMU NDI MBUYE WA AMBUYE.

Amene anakhala pa mpando waufumuyo anati, “Ndikulenga zinthu zonse zikhale zatsopano!” Ndipo anati, “Lemba izi, pakuti mawu awa ndi okhulupirika ndi woona.” Iye anandiwuza kuti, “Kwatha. Ine ndine Alefa ndi Omega, Woyamba ndi Wotsiriza. Kwa onse akumva ludzu, ndidzawapatsa zakumwa zaulere zochokera ku kasupe wamadzi amoyo.

Sipadzakhalanso temberero lililonse. Mpando waufumu wa Mulungu ndi wa Mwana Wankhosa udzakhala mu mzindawo, ndipo atumiki ake adzamutumikira.

“Taonani, ndikubwera posachedwa! Ndikubwera ndi mphotho zanga kuti ndidzapereke kwa aliyense malinga ndi zimene anachita. Ine ndine Alefa ndi Omega, Woyamba ndi Wotsiriza, Chiyambi ndi Chimaliziro ndine.

“Ine Yesu, ndatuma mngelo wanga kuti achitire umboni uwu ku mipingo. Ine ndine Muzu ndi Chipatso cha Davide ndipo ndine Nthanda Yonyezimira.”

Iye amene akuchitira umboni pa zinthu izi akuti, “Inde, Ine ndikubwera posachedwa.” Ameni. Bwerani Ambuye Yesu. Chisomo cha Ambuye Yesu chikhale ndi anthu onse. Ameni.
