13 – Kugonana kwa amuna ndi amuna kapena aakazi ndi aakazi

Ndipo Mulungu analenga munthu mʼchifanizo chake. Anawalengadi mʼchifanizo cha Mulungu; analenga iwo, mwamuna ndi mkazi.

Nʼchifukwa chake, mwamuna amasiya abambo ndi amayi ake nakaphatikana ndi mkazi wake ndipo awiriwo amakhala thupi limodzi.

Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Abrahamu, “Kulirira Gomora kwakula ndipo tchimo lawo lafika poyipa kwambiri choncho ndikuti ndipiteko ndikaone ngati zimene achita zilidi zoyipa monga mmene madandawulo andipezera Ine. Ngati sizili choncho, ndikadziwa.” Anthu aja anatembenuka nʼkumapita, kulowera ku Sodomu, koma Abrahamu anali chiyimirire pamaso pa Yehova. Kenaka Abrahamu anasendera kufupi ndi Iye nati, “Kodi mudzawonongera kumodzi wolungama ndi woyipa? Nanga bwanji patakhala anthu makumi asanu olungama mu mzindamo? Kodi mudzawonongadi onse osausiyako mzindawo chifukwa cha anthu makumi asanu olungama omwe ali mʼmenemo? Ndithu simungachite zimenezi, kupha anthu olungama pamodzi ndi oyipa. Nʼzosatheka kuti inu nʼkufananitsa olungama ndi oyipa. Kodi woweruza wa dziko lapansi nʼkulephera kuchita chilungamo?” Yehova anati, “Nditapeza anthu makumi asanu olungama mu mzinda wa Sodomu, ndidzasiya malo onsewo osawawononga chifukwa cha iwo.” Ndipo Abrahamu anayankhulanso nati, “Tsono poti ndalimba mtima kuyankhula ndi Ambuye, ngakhale kuti ndine fumbi ndi phulusa chabe, bwanji anthu olungama atacheperapo ndi asanu pa anthu makumi asanu? Kodi mudzawononga mzinda wonse chifukwa cha asanuwo?” Iye anati, “Nditapezamo anthu 45, sindidzawuwononga.” Kenakanso anayankhula kwa Iye nati, “Bwanji atangopezekamo anthu 40 okha?” Iye anayankha, “Chifukwa cha anthu 40 amenewa, sindidzatero.” Ndipo Abrahamu anati, “Pepanitu musandipsere mtima Ambuye, koma mundilole kuti ndiyankhule. Nanga mutapezekamo anthu makumi atatu okha?” Iye anayankha, “Sindidzatero ngati atapezekamo anthu makumi atatu.” Abrahamu anati, “Tsono poti ndalimba mtima chonchi kumayankhula ndi Ambuye, bwanji atangopezeka anthu makumi awiri okha?” Iye anati, “Chifukwa cha anthu makumi awiriwo, sindidzawuwononga.” Kenaka Abrahamu anati, “Pepani Ambuye musandipsere mtima, ndingoyankhula kamodzi kokhaka basi. Bwanji atangopezeka khumi okha mʼmenemo?” Iye anayankha nati, “Chifukwa cha khumiwo, sindidzawuwononga.”

Angelo awiri aja anafika ku Sodomu madzulo ndipo Loti anali atakhala pansi pa chipata cha mzindawo. Loti atawaona, anayimirira ndi kukakumana nawo ndipo anaweramitsa mutu wake pansi mwaulemu. Iye anati, “Ambuye wanga, chonde patukirani ku nyumba kwa mtumiki wanu. Mukhoza kusambitsa mapazi anu ndi kugona usiku uno kenaka nʼkumapitirira ndi ulendo wanu mmamawa.” Iwo anati, “Ayi, tigona panja.” Koma iye anawawumiriza kwambiri kotero kuti anapita naye pamodzi ku nyumba kwake. Anawakonzera chakudya buledi wopanda yisiti ndipo anadya. Alendo aja asanapite kogona, amuna onse achinyamata ndi achikulire ochokera mbali zonse za mzinda wa Sodomu anazinga nyumba ya Loti. Iwo anayitana Loti namufunsa kuti, “Ali kuti amuna aja amene afika kuno usiku womwe uno? Atulutse, utipatse kuti tigone nawo malo amodzi.” Loti anatuluka panja kukakumana nawo natseka chitseko ndipo anati, “Ayi anzanga, musachite zinthu zoyipa zotere. Taonani, ine ndili ndi ana anga akazi awiri amene sanagonepo ndi mwamuna. Mundilole ndikutulutsireni amenewo ndipo muchite nawo zimene mungafune. Koma musachite chilichonse ndi anthuwa, pakuti iwowa ndi alendo anga ndipo ndiyenera kuwatchinjiriza.” Iwo anayankha kuti, “Tachoka apa tidutse.” Ndipo anati, “Munthu uyu anabwera kuno ngati mlendo chabe, tsono lero akufuna kuti akhale wotiweruza! Tikukhawulitsa kuposa iwowa.” Anapitiriza kumuwumiriza Loti uja nʼkumasunthira kutsogolo kuti athyole chitseko. Koma anthu aja anali mʼkatiwa anasuzumira namukokera Loti uja mʼkati mwa nyumba nʼkutseka chitseko. Kenaka anawachititsa khungu anthu amene anali panja pa nyumba aja, aangʼono ndi aakulu omwe, kuti asaone pa khomo.

Anthu awiri aja anati kwa Loti, “Kodi uli ndi wina aliyense pano, kaya ndi akamwini ako, kaya ndi ana ako aamuna kapena aakazi, kapena aliyense mu mzindamu amene ndi anzako? Atulutse onse muno, chifukwa tiwononga malo ano. Yehova waona kuti kuyipa kwa anthu a mu mzindawu kwakulitsa. Choncho watituma kuti tiwuwononge.” Choncho Loti anatuluka nayankhula ndi akamwini ake amene anali kuyembekezera kukwatira ana ake akazi nati, “Fulumirani, tiyeni tichoke pa malo ano chifukwa Yehova watsala pangʼono kuwononga mzindawu.” Koma akamwini akewo ankayesa kuti akungoselewula. Mmene kumacha, angelo aja anamufulumizitsa Loti nati, “Nyamuka, tenga mkazi wako ndi ana ako aakazi awiriwo, ndipo mutuluke mu mzindawo kuopa kuti mungaphedwe pamodzi nawo.” Koma Loti ankakayikabe. Koma Yehova anawachitira chifundo motero kuti anthu aja anagwira mkazi wake ndi ana ake aakazi aja nawatsogolera bwinobwino kuwatulutsa mu mzindawo. Atangowatulutsa, mmodzi wa angelowo anati, “Thawani kuti mudzipulumutse, musachewuke, musayime pena paliponse mʼchigwamo! Thawirani ku mapiri kuopa kuti mungawonongeke!”

Ndiye Yehova anathira sulufule wamoto wochokera kumwamba kwa Yehova pa Sodomu ndi Gomora.

Koma mkazi wa Loti anachewuka ndipo anasanduka mwala wa mchere.

“ ‘Usagonane ndi mwamuna ngati mkazi; chimenecho ndi chinthu chonyansa. “ ‘Usagonane ndi nyama ndi kudziyipitsa nayo. Mkazi asadzipereke kwa nyama kuti agonane nayo. Chimenecho ndi chisokonezo.

“ ‘Ngati munthu agonana ndi mwamuna mnzake ngati akugonana ndi mkazi, ndiye kuti onsewo achita chinthu cha manyazi. Choncho aphedwe. Magazi awo adzakhala pa mitu pawo.

Akazi asavale zovala za amuna, kapena mwamuna kuvala zovala za akazi, pakuti Yehova Mulungu wanu amanyansidwa ndi aliyense wochita izi.

Iye anayankha kuti, “Kodi simunawerenge kuti pachiyambi Mulungu analenga iwo, ‘mwamuna ndi mkazi?’ Ndipo anati, ‘Pa chifukwa ichi mwamuna adzasiya abambo ake ndi amayi ake nakaphatikana ndi mkazi wake, ndipo awiriwo adzakhala thupi limodzi.’ Motero salinso awiri ayi koma mmodzi. Nʼchifukwa chake chimene Mulungu wachimanga pamodzi munthu wina asachilekanitse.”

Koma pachiyambi cha chilengedwe, Mulungu ‘analenga iwo, mwamuna ndi mkazi.’ ‘Pa chifukwa ichi mwamuna adzasiya abambo ake ndi amayi ake nakaphatikana ndi mkazi wake, ndipo awiriwo adzakhala thupi limodzi.’ Potero sali awirinso, koma mmodzi. Chifukwa chake chimene Mulungu wachilumikiza pamodzi, munthu wina asachilekanitse.”

Momwemonso, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti angelo a Mulungu amakondwera kwambiri chifukwa cha wochimwa mmodzi amene watembenuka mtima.”

Chifukwa chake, lapani, bwererani kwa Mulungu, kuti machimo anu afafanizidwe, kuti nthawi ya kutsitsimuka ibwere kuchokera kwa Ambuye,

Nʼchifukwa chake Mulungu anawasiya kuti azingochita zilakolako zochititsa manyazi zauchimo zomwe mitima yawo inkafuna. Zotsatira zake anachita za chiwerewere wina ndi mnzake kunyazitsa matupi awo. Iwo anasinthanitsa choonadi cha Mulungu ndi bodza ndipo anapembedza ndi kutumikira zinthu zolengedwa mʼmalo mwa Mlengi amene ali woyenera kutamandidwa mpaka muyaya. Ameni. Chifukwa cha ichi, Mulungu anawasiya kuti azitsata zilakolako zochititsa manyazi. Ngakhale akazi omwe anasiya machitidwe achibadwidwe pa za ukwati, namachita machitidwe ena otsutsana ndi chibadwa chawo. Chimodzimodzinso amuna analeka machitidwe a ukwati ndi akazi nʼkumakhumbana amuna okhaokha. Amuna ankachita zochitisa manyazizi ndi amuna anzawo, ndipo analandira chilango choyenera molingana ndi zochita zawo zachitayikozo. Ndipo popeza anaona kuti nʼchopanda nzeru kumvera Mulungu, Iye anawasiya kuti atsatire maganizo achitayiko kuti achite zosayenera kuchitazo. Iwo ndi odzazidwa ndi mtundu uliwonse wa makhalidwe oyipa, zonyansa, umbombo ndi dumbo. Iwo ndi odzazidwa ndi kaduka, kupha, mikangano, chinyengo ndi udani. Iwowo ndi amiseche, osinjirira, odana ndi Mulungu, achipongwe, odzitama ndi odzitukumula. Iwo amapeza njira zochitira zoyipa. Samvera makolo awo, alibe nzeru, chikhulupiriro, sakhudzidwa mu mtima ndipo ndi ankhanza. Ngakhale kuti amadziwa chiweruzo cholungama cha Mulungu chakuti amene amachita zinthu zotere amayenera imfa, iwo sangopitiriza chabe zimenezi, koma amavomerezanso amene amazichita zimenezi.

Kodi simukudziwa kuti munthu woyipa sadzalowa mu ufumu wa Mulungu? Musanyengedwe: achigololo, kapena opembedza mafano, kapena achiwerewere, kapena amuna adama, kapena ogonana ndi amuna okhaokha; kapena akuba, kapena aumbombo, kapena oledzera, kapena achipongwe, kapena opeza ndalama mwachinyengo sadzalowa mu ufumu wa Mulungu. Ndipo umu ndi mmene ena mwa inu munalili. Koma munatsukidwa, munayeretsedwa, munalungamitsidwa mʼdzina la Ambuye Yesu Khristu ndi Mzimu wa Mulungu wathu.

Tikudziwanso kuti Malamulo sakhazikitsidwa chifukwa cha anthu olungama, koma ophwanya lamulo ndi owukira, osaopa Mulungu ndi ochimwa, wopanda chiyero ndi osapembedza; amene amapha abambo awo ndi amayi awo, kapena anthu ena. Malamulo amayikidwa chifukwa cha anthu achigololo ndi ochita zadama ndi amuna anzawo, anthu ogulitsa akapolo, abodza ndi olumbira zabodza, ndi ochita chilichonse chotsutsana ndi chiphunzitso choona.

Pakuti Mulungu sanalekerere angelo atachimwa paja, koma anawaponya mʼndende, nawayika mʼmaenje amdima, kuwasunga kuti adzaweruzidwe. Iye sanalekerere dziko lapansi kalelo, koma anapulumutsa Nowa, mlaliki wa chilungamo, ndi anthu ena asanu ndi awiri atadzetsa chigumula pa dziko lapansi kwa anthu akhalidwe losapembedza Mulunguyo. Mulungu anaweruza mizinda ya Sodomu ndi Gomora nayiwononga ndi moto, kuti ikhale chitsanzo cha zimene zidzachitikira anthu osapembedza Mulungu. Koma Iye anapulumutsa Loti, munthu wolungama, amene ankavutika ndi khalidwe lonyansa la anthu oyipa. (Pakuti munthu wolungamayo, pokhala pakati pawo tsiku ndi tsiku ankavutika mu mtima ndi makhalidwe awo oyipa amene ankawaona ndi kuwamva). Tsono mutha kuona kuti Ambuye amadziwa kuwapulumutsa kwake pa mayesero anthu opembedza. Amadziwanso kusunga osalungama kuti alangidwe mpaka tsiku la chiweruzo. Makamaka amene amatsata zilakolako zonyansa zathupi nanyoza ulamuliro. Anthu amenewa ndi odzikuza, ndipo otsata chifuniro cha iwo eni, sasamala za munthu, saopa kuchitira chipongwe zolengedwa za mmwamba.

Ambuye sazengereza kuchita zimene analonjeza, monga ena amaganizira. Iwo akukulezerani mtima, sakufuna kuti aliyense awonongeke, koma akufuna kuti aliyense alape.

Ndipo mukumbukire angelo amene sanakhutire ndi maudindo awo, koma anasiya malo awo. Angelo amenewa Mulungu anawamanga ndi maunyolo osatha, ndipo akuwasunga mʼmalo a mdima mpaka tsiku lalikulu lachiweruzo. Musayiwale mizinda ya Sodomu ndi Gomora ija, ndi mizinda yoyandikana nayo. Anthu mʼmenemo anadziperekanso kuchita zadama ndi kuchita zonyansa zachilendo. Mizinda imeneyi yakhala ngati chitsanzo cha amene adzalangidwa ndi moto wosatha. Nʼchimodzimodzinso zimene akuchita anthu amenewa potsata maloto awo, amadetsa matupi awo, amakana ulamuliro wa Mulungu ndiponso amachitira chipongwe angelo akumwamba.

Koma amantha, osakhulupirira, okonda zonyansa, opha anthu, achiwerewere, amatsenga, opembedza mafano ndi abodza, malo awo adzakhala nyanja yamoto ya sulufule wotentha. Iyi ndi imfa yachiwiri.”
