19 – Mpingo

Tsono anachita mantha ndipo anati, “Malo ano ndi woopsa ndithu. Zoonadi pano ndi pa nyumba ya Mulungu ndi khomo la kumwamba.”

ndipo mwala uwu ndawuyimikawu udzakhala Nyumba ya Mulungu. Ine ndidzakupatsani chakhumi cha zinthu zonse zimene mudzandipatse.”

Nthawi yamasana Yehova amakhala patsogolo pa anthu kuwatsogolera njira ndi chipilala cha mtambo, ndipo usiku Yehova ankawatsogolera ndi chipilala cha moto, kuwawunikira njira kuti athe kuyenda masana ndi usiku. Usana, chipilala cha mtambo ndi usiku, chipilala cha moto zinali patsogolo kuwatsogolera anthu aja.

Tsopano, ngati mumveradi mawu anga ndi kusunga pangano langa, mudzakhala chuma changa chapamtima pakati pa mitundu yonse. Ngakhale kuti dziko lonse lapansi ndi langa, inu mudzakhala ansembe achifumu ndi mtundu woyera mtima. Awa ndi mawu amene uyenera kuwawuza Aisraeli.”

Ngakhale ansembe amene amatumikira pamaso pa Yehova ayenera kudziyeretsa kuopa kuti ndingadzawalange.”

“Iwo andipangire malo wopatulika, ndipo Ine ndidzakhala pakati pawo.

Mose akamalowa mu tenti, chipilala cha mtambo chimatsika ndi kukhala pa khomo pamene Yehova amayankhula ndi Mose. Nthawi zonse anthu akaona chipilala cha mtambo chitayima pa khomo la tentiyo amayimirira ndi kupembedza, aliyense ali pa khomo la tenti yake. Yehova amayankhula ndi Mose maso ndi maso ngati mmene munthu amayankhulira ndi bwenzi lake. Kenaka Mose amabwerera ku msasa koma womuthandiza wake, Yoswa, mwana wa Nuni samachoka pa tentiyo.

“Iwe ndi ana ako musamamwe vinyo kapena chakumwa chilichonse choledzeretsa pamene mukulowa mu tenti ya msonkhano kuti mungafe. Ili ndi lamulo lamuyaya pa mibado yanu yonse. Muzisiyanitsa pakati pa zinthu zopatulika ndi zinthu wamba, pakati pa zinthu zodetsedwa ndi zinthu zoyeretsedwa,

Pa tsiku limene anayimika chihema, tenti ya umboni, mtambo unaphimba chihemacho. Kuyambira madzulo mpaka mmawa, mtambo umene unali pamwamba pa chihemacho unkaoneka ngati moto. Zinkachitika motere mosalekeza: mtambo unkakhala pamwamba pa chihema, ndipo usiku unkaoneka ngati moto.

Ine sindinakhalepo mʼnyumba kuyambira tsiku limene ndinatulutsa Aisraeli mʼdziko la Igupto mpaka lero lino. Ndakhala ndikuyenda uku ndi uku ndipo mokhala mwanga munali mu tenti.

“Kunena za Nyumba imene ukumangayi, ngati iwe udzamvera malangizo anga ndi kutsatira mawu anga, ngati udzasunga malamulo anga ndi kuwachita, Ine ndidzakwaniritsa zonse zomwe ndinalonjeza Davide abambo ako. Ndipo Ine ndidzakhazikika pakati pa ana a Israeli ndipo sindidzawasiya anthu anga Aisraeli.”

Ansembe atatuluka mʼMalo Opatulikawo, mtambo unadzaza Nyumba ya Yehova. Ndipo ansembewo sanathe kugwira ntchito yawo chifukwa cha mtambowo, pakuti ulemerero wa Yehova unadzaza mʼNyumba ya Yehova.

Solomoni atatsiriza kumanga Nyumba ya Yehova ndi nyumba yaufumu, ndi kukwaniritsa kuchita zonse zimene ankafuna,

Mkulu wa ansembe Hilikiya anawuza Safani, mlembiyo kuti, “Ndapeza Buku la Malamulo mʼNyumba ya Yehova.” Anapereka bukulo kwa Safani amene analiwerenga.

Iye anagwetsanso tinyumba ta ochita zachiwerewere, timene tinali mʼNyumba ya Yehova, kumene akazi ankalukirako mikanjo yovala popembedza Asera.

Tsono perekani mtima wanu ndi moyo wanu kufunafuna Yehova Mulungu wanu. Yambani kumanga malo opatulika a Yehova Mulungu, kuti mubweretse Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova ndi zinthu zopatulika za Mulungu mʼNyumba ya Mulungu imene idzamangidwa chifukwa cha dzina la Yehova.”

Oyimba malipenga ndi oyimba nyimbo aja amayimba mogwirizana, monga liwu la munthu mmodzi, kutamanda ndi kuyamika Yehova. Mogwirizana ndi malipenga, ziwaya zamalipenga ndi zida zina, anakweza mawu awo motamanda Yehova poyimba kuti, “Yehova ndi wabwino; chikondi chake chikhala mpaka muyaya.” Ndipo Nyumba ya Mulungu wa Yehova inadzaza ndi mtambo, choncho ansembe sanathe kugwira ntchito yawo chifukwa cha mtambowo, pakuti ulemerero wa Yehova unadzaza Nyumba ya Mulungu.

Solomoni atamaliza kupemphera, moto unatsika kuchokera kumwamba ndi kutentha nsembe zopsereza ndi nsembe zina, ndipo ulemerero wa Yehova unadzaza Nyumba ya Mulunguyo. Ansembe sanathe kulowa mʼNyumba ya Mulungu chifukwa munadzaza ulemerero wa Yehova. Aisraeli onse ataona moto ukuchokera kumwamba ndi ulemerero wa Yehova pamwamba pa Nyumba ya Mulungu, anagwada poyalidwa miyalapo ndipo anagunditsa nkhope zawo pansi, ndi kulambira ndi kutamanda Yehova, ponena kuti, “Iye ndi wabwino; chikondi chake chikhala chikhalire”

Ndipo anayika alonda a pa khomo pa zipata za Nyumba ya Yehova kuti aliyense amene ndi odetsedwa asalowe.

Musawumitse khosi monga anachitira makolo anu, Gonjerani Yehova. Bwerani ku malo opatulika, amene anawapatula kwamuyaya. Tumikirani Yehova Mulungu wanu kuti mkwiyo wake ukuchokereni.

Iyo inalamula anthu amene amakhala mu Yerusalemu kupereka gawo lawo kwa ansembe ndi Alevi kuti iwowo adzipereke ku malamulo a Yehova.

Yehova, Mulungu wa makolo awo, ankatumiza mawu kwa iwo kudzera kwa amithenga ake kawirikawiri, chifukwa ankawamvera chisoni anthu ake ndi malo ake okhalapo.

Iwo anawerenga buku la malamulo a Mulungu momveka bwino ndi kutanthauzira mawuwo kuti anthu amvetse bwino zowerengedwazo.

Choncho Israeli, kuphatikiza zidzukulu za Alevi, azipititsa zopereka za tirigu, vinyo ndi mafuta ku zipinda zosungiramo katundu wopatulika, komanso kokhala ansembe amene akutumikira pamodzi ndi alonda a ku Nyumba ya Mulungu ndi anthu oyimba nyimbo. “Kwambiri ife sitidzaleka kusamala Nyumba ya Mulungu.”

Kunena za oyera mtima amene ali pa dziko, amenewa ndi olemekezeka, amene ndimakondwera nawo.

Ine ndidzalengeza dzina lanu kwa abale anga; ndidzakutamandani mu msonkhano.

Zoonadi, zokoma ndi chikondi chosasinthika zidzanditsata masiku onse a moyo wanga, ndipo ndidzakhala mʼNyumba ya Yehova kwamuyaya.

Chinthu chimodzi chokha chimene ndipempha kwa Yehova, ichi ndi chimene ndidzachifunafuna: kuti ndikhale mʼNyumba ya Yehova masiku onse a moyo wanga, ndi kuyangʼana kukongola kwa Yehova, ndi kumufunafuna Iye mʼNyumba yake.

Pulumutsani anthu anu ndipo mudalitse cholowa chanu; mukhale mʼbusa wawo ndipo muwakweze kwamuyaya.

Lemekezani Yehova pamodzi ndi ine; tiyeni pamodzi tikuze dzina lake.

Zinthu izi ndimazikumbukira pamene ndikukhuthula moyo wanga: momwe ndinkapitira ndi gulu lalikulu, kutsogolera mayendedwe a ku Nyumba ya Mulungu ndi mfuwu yachimwemwe ndi mayamiko pakati pa anthu a pa chikondwerero.

Odala iwo amene inu muwasankha ndi kuwabweretsa pafupi kukhala mʼmabwalo anu! Ife tadzazidwa ndi zinthu zabwino za mʼNyumba mwanu, za mʼNyumba yanu yoyera.

Mulungu amakhazikitsa mtima pansi osungulumwa mʼmabanja, amatsogolera amʼndende ndi kuyimba; koma anthu osamvera amakhala ku malo owuma a dziko lapansi.

Pamenepo ife anthu anu, nkhosa za pabusa panu, tidzakutamandani kwamuyaya, kuchokera mʼbado ndi mʼbado tidzafotokoza za matamando anu.

Kwa mtsogoleri wa mayimbidwe. Potsata mayimbidwe a Gititi. Salimo la ana a Kora. Malo anu okhalamo ndi okomadi, Inu Yehova Wamphamvuzonse! Moyo wanga ukulakalaka, mpaka kukomoka, kufuna mabwalo a Yehova; Mtima wanga ndi thupi langa zikufuwulira Mulungu wamoyo. Ngakhale timba wapeza nyumba yokhalamo, ndiponso namzeze wadzipezera yekha chisa, kumene amagonekako ana ake pafupi ndi guwa lanu la nsembe, Inu Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, Mfumu yanga ndi Mulungu wanga. Odala amene amakhala mʼNyumba yanu; nthawi zonse amakutamandani. Sela

Nʼkwabwino kukhala mʼmabwalo anu tsiku limodzi kuposa kukhala kwina kwake kwa zaka 1,000; Ine ndingakonde kukhala mlonda wa pa khomo la Nyumba ya Mulungu wanga kuposa kukhala mʼmatenti a anthu oyipa.

Mu msonkhano wa oyera mtima Mulungu amaopedwa kwambiri; Iye ndiye wochititsa mantha kupambana onse amene amuzungulira.

odzalidwa mʼnyumba ya Yehova, adzakula bwino mʼmabwalo a Mulungu wathu.

Tamandani Yehova. Ndidzathokoza Yehova ndi mtima wanga wonse mʼbwalo la anthu olungama mtima ndi pa msonkhano.

Salimo la Davide. Nyimbo yoyimba pokwera ku Yerusalemu. Ndinakondwera atandiwuza kuti, “Tiyeni ku nyumba ya Yehova.”

Nyimbo yoyimba pokwera ku Yerusalemu. Salimo la Solomoni. Yehova akapanda kumanga nyumba, omanga nyumbayo agwira ntchito pachabe. Yehova akapanda kulondera mzinda, mlonda akanangolondera pachabe.

Salimo la Davide. Nyimbo yoyimba pokwera ku Yerusalemu. Onani, nʼkokoma ndi kokondweretsa ndithu pamene abale akhala pamodzi mwachiyanjano!

Tamandani Yehova. Imbirani Yehova nyimbo yatsopano, matamando ake mu msonkhano wa oyera mtima.

Mwana muzimuphunzitsa njira yake, ndipo akadzakalamba sadzachokamo.

Chitsulo chimanoledwa ndi chitsulo chinzake, chomwechonso munthu amanoledwa ndi munthu mnzake.

Uzisamala mayendedwe ako pamene ukupita ku nyumba ya Mulungu. Upite pafupi kuti ukamvetsere mʼmalo mopereka nsembe ya zitsiru zimene sizizindikira kuti zikuchita zolakwa.

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.

Kenaka ndinamva mawu a Ambuye akuti, “Kodi ndidzatuma yani? Ndipo ndani adzapite mʼmalo mwathu?” Ndipo ine ndinati, “Ndilipo. Tumeni!” Yehova anati, “Pita ndipo ukawawuze anthu awa: “ ‘Kumva muzimva, koma osamvetsetsa; kupenya muzipenya koma osaona kanthu.’

Nyamukani, nyamukani, chokaniko ku Babuloniko! Musakhudze kanthu kodetsedwa! Inu amene mumanyamula ziwiya za Yehova tulukanimo ndipo mudziyeretse.

Yehova akuti, “Alendo amene amadziphatika kwa Yehova, motero kuti amamutumikira Iye, amakonda dzina la Yehova, amamugwirira ntchito, komanso kusunga Sabata osaliyipitsa ndi kusunga bwino pangano langa, amenewa Ine ndidzawafikitsa ku phiri langa lopatulika, ndidzawapatsa chimwemwe mʼnyumba yanga ya mapemphero. Zopereka zawo zopsereza ndi nsembe zawo ndidzazilandira pa guwa langa la nsembe. Paja nyumba yanga idzatchedwa nyumba ya mapemphero ya anthu a mitundu yonse.”

Ndipo ndidzakupatsani abusa a pamtima panga amene adzakutsogolerani mwanzeru ndi mwaluntha.

“Tsoka kwa abusa amene akuwononga ndi kubalalitsa nkhosa za pabusa panga!” akutero Yehova. Nʼchifukwa chake Yehova, Mulungu wa Israeli, ponena za abusa amene akuweta anthu anga akuti, “Mwabalalitsa ndi kumwaza nkhosa zanga. Komanso simunazisamale bwino. Choncho ndidzakulangani chifukwa cha machimo anu,” akutero Yehova. “Pambuyo pake Ine mwini wakene ndidzasonkhanitsa nkhosa zanga zotsala, kuzichotsa ku mayiko onse kumene ndinazibalalitsira ndi kuzibweretsanso ku msipu wawo. Kumeneko zidzaswana ndi kuchulukana. Ndidzazipatsa abusa amene adzaziweta, ndipo sizidzaopanso kapena kuchita mantha, ndipo palibe imene idzasochera,” akutero Yehova.

“Mneneri ngakhale wansembe onse sapembedza Yehova. Amachita zoyipa ngakhale mʼnyumba yanga,” akutero Yehova.

“Iwe mwana wa munthu, Ine ndakuyika kuti ukhale mlonda wa Aisraeli. Uziti ukamva mawu anga, ndiye uzikawachenjeza. Ndikawuza munthu woyipa kuti, ‘Iwe udzafa ndithu,’ koma iwe osamuchenjeza kapena kumuyankhula kuti aleke njira zake zoyipa ndi kuti akhale ndi moyo, munthu woyipayo adzafa mu uchimo wake, koma Ine ndidzakuyimba mlandu chifukwa cha imfa yake. Koma ukamuchenjeza munthu woyipa koma iye osatembenuka mtima kuleka zoyipa zake kapena kusiya njira zake zoyipa, munthuyo adzafa chifukwa cha uchimo wake koma iwe udzapulumutsa moyo wako. “Ngati munthu wolungama asiya chilungamo chake ndi kuchita uchimo ndipo Ine nʼkumuyika mʼzoopsa, munthuyo adzafa ndithu. Popeza iwe sunamuchenjeze, adzafadi chifukwa cha tchimo ndipo chilungamo chake sichidzakumbukiridwa, koma ndidzakuyimba mlandu chifukwa cha imfa yake. Koma ngati umuchenjeza munthu wolungama kuti asachimwe ndipo iye nʼkuleka kuchimwa adzakhala ndi moyo ndithu chifukwa anamvera chenjezo, ndipo iwe udzapulumutsa moyo wako.”

Ansembe ake amaphwanya lamulo langa ndi kuyipitsa zinthu zanga zopatulika. Sasiyanitsa pakati pa zinthu zopatulika ndi zinthu wamba. Saphunzitsa anthu kusiyana kwa zinthu zoyenera pa chipembedzo ndi zinthu zosayenera. Sasamalira za kusunga masabata anga. Motero Ine ndimanyozedwa pakati pawo.

“Iwe mwana wa munthu, yankhula mawu oyimba mlandu abusa a Israeli. Lengeza ndipo uwawuze kuti Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti, ‘Tsoka kwa abusa a Israeli amene mumangodzisamala nokha! Kodi abusa sayenera kusamalira nkhosa? Mumadya chambiko, mumadziveka zovala zaubweya, ndi kupha nyama zonenepa, koma simusamalira nkhosazo. Simunalimbitse nkhosa zofowoka, kapena kuchiritsa zodwala, kapena kumanga mabala a nkhosa zopweteka. Simunabweze zosochera kapena kufunafuna zotayika. Munaziweta mozunza ndi mwankhanza. Kotero zinabalalika chifukwa zinalibe mʼbusa, ndipo pamene zinabalalika zinakhala chakudya cha zirombo zonse zakuthengo. Nkhosa zanga zinayendayenda mʼmapiri onse ndi mʼzitunda zonse zazitali. Zinabalalika pa dziko lonse lapansi, ndipo palibe amene anazilondola kapena kuzifunafuna.

“ ‘Choncho Inu abusa, tamvani zimene Ine Yehova ndikukuwuzani. Pali Ine wamoyo, akutero Ambuye Wamphamvuzonse, ndithu, nkhosa zanga zinajiwa ndi zirombo zakuthengo, zinasanduka chakudya cha zirombo chifukwa panalibe abusa. Abusa anga sanafunefune nkhosa zanga. Iwo ankangosamala za iwo okha mʼmalo mosamala nkhosa zanga. Chifukwa chake, inu abusa, tamvani zimene Ine Yehova ndikukuwuzani. Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Ine ndayipidwa nanu, inu abusa. Ndidzakulandani nkhosa zanga ndipo simudzazidyetsanso. Ndidzakuchotsani pa ntchito ya ubusa kuti musamangodzidyetsa nokha. Ndidzalanditsa nkhosa zanga kukamwa kwanu ndipo simudzazidyanso.

“ ‘Nʼchifukwa chake Ine Ambuye Yehova ndikuti: Taonani, Ine mwini wake ndidzaweruza pakati pa nkhosa zonenepa ndi nkhosa zowonda. Popeza zofowoka mumaziwomba ndi kuzikankhira kumbali, ndipo mumazigunda ndi nyanga zanu nʼkuzimwazira kutali, tsono Ine ndidzapulumutsa nkhosa zanga, ndipo sindidzalolanso kuti zijiwe. Ndidzaweruza pakati pa nkhosa ina ndi nkhosa inanso.

Ndidzaziyikira mʼbusa mmodzi, mtumiki wanga Davide. Iyeyo ndiye azidzazisamala. Adzakhala mʼbusa wawo.

Nyumba yanga yokhalamo idzakhala pakati pawo; Ine ndidzakhala Mulungu wawo, ndipo iwo adzakhala anthu anga.

Kenaka munthuyo anandidzeretsa pa chipata chakumpoto ndipo tinafika kumaso kwa Nyumba ya Mulungu. Nditapenyetsetsa ndinangoona ulemerero wa Yehova utadzaza mʼNyumba ya Mulungu, ndipo ndinadzigwetsa pansi chafufumimba.

Ansembe aziphunzitsa anthu anga kusiyanitsa pakati pa zinthu zopatulika ndi zinthu wamba, ndiponso pakati pa zinthu zoyenera ndi zosayenera kuperekedwa nsembe.

Pa tsiku lomwe akukalowa mʼbwalo la mʼkati la malo opatulika kuti akatumikire, apereke nsembe yopepesera machimo. Ndikutero Ine Ambuye Yehova.

Malo opatulika amenewa adzakhalanso a ansembe amene amatumikira ku malo opatulika, amene amayandikira Yehova kuti amutumikire. Pamenepo padzakhala malo omangapo nyumba zawo ndi malo omangapo Nyumba ya Mulungu.

“Ndipo patapita nthawi, ndidzakhuthulira Mzimu wanga pa anthu onse. Ana anu aamuna ndi ana anu aakazi adzanenera, nkhalamba zanu zidzalota maloto, anyamata anu adzaona masomphenya. Ngakhalenso pa antchito anga aamuna ndi aakazi ndidzakhuthulira Mzimu wanga masiku amenewo.

Zoonadi Ambuye Yehova sachita kanthu asanawulule zimene akufuna kuchita kwa atumiki ake, aneneri.

Ndidzagwedeza mitundu yonse ya anthu, ndipo chimene mitundu yonse ya anthu imachifuna chidzabwera, ndipo ndidzaza Nyumba ino ndi ulemerero,’ akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse. ‘Siliva yense ndi wanga, golide yense ndi wanganso,’ akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse. ‘Ulemerero wa nyumba iyi udzaposa ulemerero wa nyumba yoyamba ija,’ akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse. ‘Ndipo pamalo pano ndidzakhazikitsapo mtendere,’ akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.”

“Pakuti wansembe ayenera kukhala ndi chidziwitso, ndipo anthu ayenera kufunafuna malangizo kuchokera kwa iye, popeza iye ndi mthenga wa Yehova Wamphamvuzonse.

Bweretsani chakhumi chathunthu ku nyumba yosungira, kuti mukhale chakudya mʼnyumba mwanga.” Akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse, “Tandiyesani, ndipo muone ngati sindidzatsekula zipata zakumwamba, ndi kukugwetserani madalitso ochuluka amene mudzasowe malo owayikamo.

Yesu anati, “Bwerani, tsateni Ine ndipo ndidzakusandutsani asodzi a anthu.”

Yesu anayendayenda mu Galileya kuphunzitsa mʼmasunagoge awo, nalalikira Uthenga Wabwino wa ufumu ndi kuchiritsa matenda onse pakati pa anthu.

Ndipo pamene mukupemphera, musamabwerezabwereza monga akunja, pakuti iwo amaganiza kuti adzamveka chifukwa chochulutsa mawu.

Koma muyambe mwafuna ufumu wake ndi chilungamo chake ndipo zinthu zonsezi zidzapatsidwa kwa inu.

“Chenjerani nawo aneneri onyenga. Amabwera kwa inu atavala zikopa zankhosa, koma mʼkati mwawo ali mimbulu yolusa.

Yesu anayendayenda mʼmizinda yonse ndi mʼmidzi, kuphunzitsa mʼmasunagoge awo, nalalikira Uthenga Wabwino wa ufumu ndi kuchiritsa nthenda zawo zonse ndi zofowoka za mʼmatupi mwawo. Ataona maguluwo, anagwidwa ndi chisoni chifukwa anali ozunzika ndi osowa chithandizo ngati nkhosa zopanda mʼbusa. Pamenepo anati kwa ophunzira ake, “Zokolola ndi zambiri koma antchito ndi ochepa. Nʼchifukwa chake, pemphani Ambuye mwini zokolola kuti atumize antchito ku munda wake.”

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

Chiritsani odwala, ukitsani akufa, chiritsani akhate, tulutsani ziwanda. Munalandira kwaulere, perekani kwaulere.

Chenjerani ndi anthu pakuti adzakuperekani ku mabwalo amilandu nadzakukwapulani mʼmasunagoge mwawo.

“Iye amene alandira inu alandira Ine, ndipo amene alandira Ine alandiranso amene anandituma Ine. Aliyense amene alandira mneneri chifukwa chakuti ndi mneneri alandira mphotho ya mneneri, ndipo aliyense amene alandira munthu wolungama chifukwa chakuti ndi munthu wolungama, adzalandira mphotho ya wolungama. Ngati aliyense apereka madzi ozizira a mʼchikho kwa mmodzi wa angʼonoangʼono awa chifukwa cha kuti ndi ophunzira anga, ndikuwuzani zoona, ndithudi sadzataya mphotho yake.”

Atafika ku mudzi kwawo anayamba kuphunzitsa mʼmasunagoge awo ndipo iwo anadabwa nati, “Munthu uyu anayitenga kuti nzeru iyi ndi mphamvu zodabwitsazi?

Ndipo Ine ndikuwuza iwe kuti ndiwe Petro ndipo pa thanthwe ili Ine ndidzamangapo mpingo wanga ndipo makomo a ku gehena sadzawugonjetsa. Ine ndidzakupatsa makiyi a Ufumu wakumwamba, ndipo chilichonse chimene iwe udzachimanga pansi pano chidzamangidwanso kumwamba.”

“Kodi mukuganiza bwanji? Ngati munthu ali ndi nkhosa 100 ndipo imodzi nʼkusowa, kodi sasiya 99 zija mʼmapiri ndi kupita kukafuna imodzi yosocherayo? Zoonadi, Ine ndikuwuzani kuti akayipeza amasangalala kwambiri chifukwa cha nkhosa imodziyo kuposa nkhosa 99 zimene sizinasochere.

“Ngati mʼbale wako akuchimwira, pita kamuwuze cholakwa chake pa awiri. Ngati akumvera, wamubweza mʼbale wakoyo. Koma ngati sakumvera, katenge wina mmodzi kapena ena awiri, ‘kuti nkhani itsimikizike ndi umboni wa anthu awiri kapena atatu.’ Ngati iye akana kuwamvera iwo, kaneneni ku mpingo; ndipo ngati sakamvera ngakhale mpingo, muchite naye monga mukanachitira ndi wakunja kapena wolandira msonkho.

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

Siziyenera kutero ndi inu. Mʼmalo mwake, aliyense amene akufuna kukhala wamkulu pakati panu akhale wotumikira wanu. Ndipo aliyense amene akufuna kukhala woyamba akhale kapolo wanu. Momwenso Mwana wa Munthu sanabwere kudzatumikiridwa, koma kudzatumikira, ndi kupereka moyo wake kukhala dipo la anthu ambiri.”

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.

“Koma inu simuyenera kutchulidwa ‘Aphunzitsi,’ popeza muli naye Mbuye mmodzi ndipo inu nonse ndinu abale. Ndipo musamatchule wina aliyense pansi pano kuti ‘Atate,’ pakuti muli ndi Atate mmodzi, ndipo ali kumwamba. Komanso musamatchedwenso ‘Mtsogoleri,’ pakuti muli naye Mtsogoleri mmodzi amene ndi Khristu. Wamkulu pakati panu adzakhala wokutumikirani. Pakuti aliyense amene adzikuza adzachepetsedwa, ndipo aliyense amene adzichepetsa adzakuzidwa.

Chifukwa akhristu onama ndi aneneri onama adzaoneka ndipo adzachita zizindikiro zazikulu ndi zodabwitsa kuti akanyenge ngakhale osankhidwawo ngati kukanakhala kotheka kutero.

ndinali wausiwa ndipo munandiveka, ndinali wodwala ndipo munandisamalira, ndinali ku ndende ndipo inu munandiyendera.’

Pa nthawi imeneyo chinsalu chotchinga cha mʼNyumba ya Mulungu chinangʼambika pakati kuyambira pamwamba mpaka pansi. Dziko linagwedezeka ndipo miyala inangʼambika.

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.”

Potero anayendayenda mu Galileya, kulalikira mʼmasunagoge awo ndi kutulutsa ziwanda. Munthu wakhate anabwera kwa Iye, nagwada, namupempha kuti, “Ngati mukufuna, mukhoza kundiyeretsa.” Yesu pomva naye chifundo, anatambasula dzanja lake namukhudza munthuyo nati, “Ndikufuna, yeretsedwa!”

Iye anasankha khumi ndi awiri, nawayika akhale atumwi; pokhala ndi Iye aziwatuma kukalalikira ndi kuti akhale ndi ulamuliro wotulutsa ziwanda.

Tsiku la Sabata litafika, anayamba kuphunzitsa mʼsunagoge, ndipo ambiri amene anamumva anadabwa. Iwo anafunsa kuti, “Kodi munthu uyu anazitenga kuti zimenezi? Kodi ndi nzeru yotani imene munthu ameneyu wapatsidwa, kuti Iye akuchitanso zodabwitsa!

Amandilambira Ine kwachabe; ndi kuphunzitsa malamulo ndi malangizo a anthu. Mwasiya malamulo a Mulungu ndipo mwagwiritsitsa miyambo ya anthu.” Ndipo anawawuzanso kuti, “Inu muli ndi njira yabwino yokankhira kumbali malamulo a Mulungu kuti mukatsatire miyambo yanuyo!

Potero mumachepetsa mawu a Mulungu kukhala wopanda mphamvu ndi miyambo yanu imene mumapatsirana. Ndipo mumachita zinthu zina zambiri monga zimenezi.”

Zoonadi, Ine ndikuwuzani kuti aliyense amene akupatsani chikho cha madzi mʼdzina langa chifukwa ndinu ake a Khristu, sadzataya konse mphotho yake.”

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.’ ”

Yesu anayankha kuti, “Kodi mukuziona nyumba zikuluzikuluzi? Palibe mwala ndi umodzi pano umene udzakhala pa unzake; uliwonse udzagwetsedwa pansi.”

“Muyenera kukhala tcheru. Mudzaperekedwa ku mabwalo oweruza ndi kukwapulidwa mwankhanza mʼmasunagoge. Mudzayima pamaso pa abwanamkubwa ndi mafumu monga mboni kwa iwo chifukwa cha Ine.

Chinsalu chotchinga cha mʼNyumba ya Mulungu chinangʼambika pakati kuyambira pamwamba mpaka pansi.

Anati kwa iwo, “Pitani mʼdziko lonse lapansi ndipo mukalalikire Uthenga Wabwino kwa zolengedwa zonse. Aliyense amene akakhulupirire nabatizidwa adzapulumuka, koma amene sakakhulupirira adzalangidwa. Tsono zizindikiro izi zidzawatsata amene adzakhulupirira: Mʼdzina langa adzatulutsa ziwanda; adzayankhula malilime atsopano; adzanyamula njoka ndi manja awo; ndipo pamene adzamwa mankhwala akupha, sadzawapweteka nʼpangʼonongʼono pomwe; adzasanjika manja awo pa anthu odwala ndipo odwalawo adzachira.”

Pamenepo ophunzira aja anapita ndi kukalalikira ponseponse, ndipo Ambuye anagwira nawo ntchito pamodzi, ndipo anatsimikizira mawuwo ndi zizindikiro zimene ankachita.

Iye anapita ku Nazareti, kumene anakulira, ndipo pa tsiku la Sabata anakalowa mʼsunagoge, monga mwa chikhalidwe chake. Ndipo anayimirira kuti awerenge malemba.

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!”

Ndipo Iye anapitirirabe kulalikira mʼmasunagoge a ku Yudeya.

chimodzimodzinso Yakobo ndi Yohane, ana a Zebedayo, anzake a Simoniyo. Kenaka Yesu anati kwa Simoni, “Musachite mantha; kuyambira tsopano ndidzakusandutsani asodzi a anthu.”

La Sabata lina Iye analowa mʼsunagoge kukaphunzitsa ndipo mʼmenemo anapeza munthu wadzanja lolumala.

Wophunzira sangapose mphunzitsi wake, koma yense amene waphunzitsidwa bwinobwino adzakhala ngati mphunzitsi wake.

Yesu atawayitana khumi ndi awiriwo pamodzi, Iye anawapatsa mphamvu ndi ulamuliro wotulutsa ziwanda zonse ndi kuchiritsa matenda. Ndipo Iye anawatumiza kukalalikira za ufumu wa Mulungu ndi kukachiritsa odwala.

Koma funafunani ufumu wake, ndipo mudzapatsidwa zonsezi. “Musachite mantha, inu kagulu kankhosa, pakuti zinakondweretsa Atate anu kuti akupatseni ufumu.

Pa Sabata Yesu ankaphunzitsa mʼsunagoge ina, ndipo momwemo munali mayi amene anali ndi mzimu woyipa umene unamudwalitsa zaka 18. Iye anali wokhota msana ndipo samatha kuweramuka ndi pangʼono pomwe. Yesu atamuona anamuyitana kutsogolo ndipo anati kwa iye, “Amayi, mwamasulidwa ku mavuto.” Kenaka anasanjika manja ake pa iye, ndipo nthawi yomweyo anawongoka nayamika Mulungu. Chifukwa cha kuyipidwa kuti Yesu anachiritsa pa Sabata, wolamulira sunagoge anati kwa anthu, “Pali masiku asanu ndi limodzi ogwira ntchito. Choncho bwerani kuti mudzachiritsidwe masiku amenewo osati pa Sabata.”

“Tiyerekeze kuti mmodzi mwa inu ali ndi nkhosa 100 ndipo imodzi yatayika, kodi iye sangasiye 99 zija kutchire ndi kupita kukafuna yotayikayo mpaka atayipeza? Ndipo iye akayipeza, amayinyamula pa phewa lake mwachimwemwe ndi kupita kwawo. Kenaka amayitana anzake ndi anansi pamodzi, ndi kuti, ‘Kondwerani nane; ine ndayipeza nkhosa yanga yotayika ija.’ Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti momwemonso kudzakhala chikondwerero chachikulu kumwamba chifukwa cha wochimwa mmodzi amene watembenuka mtima kusiyana ndi anthu olungama 99 amene ali otembenuka mtima kale.”

Nʼchifukwa chake dziyangʼanireni nokha. “Ngati mʼbale wanu achimwa, mudzudzuleni, ndipo ngati alapa, mukhululukireni.

pakuti dzuwa linaleka kuwala. Ndipo chinsalu cha mʼNyumba ya Mulungu chinangʼambika pakati.

Pamenepo anamulambira Iye ndipo anabwerera ku Yerusalemu ndi chimwemwe chachikulu. Ndipo iwo anakhalabe ku Nyumba ya Mulungu, akulemekeza Mulungu.

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.”

Yesu anawawuza kuti, “Zoonadi, Ine ndikukuwuzani kuti ngati simungadye thupi la Mwana wa Munthu ndi kumwa magazi ake, simungakhale ndi moyo mwa inu.

Ine ndili ndi nkhosa zina zimene sizili za gulu ili. Ine ndiyenera kuzibweretsanso. Izonso zidzamvera mawu anga, ndipo zidzakhala gulu limodzi ndi mʼbusa mmodzi.

“Lamulo latsopano limene ndikukupatsani ndi lakuti: Kondanani wina ndi mnzake, monga momwe Ine ndinakonda inu. Nanunso mukondane wina ndi mnzake. Mukamakondana aliyense adzadziwa kuti ndinu ophunzira anga.”

Iwo adzakuchotsani mʼsunagoge mwawo. Kunena zoona, nthawi ikubwera imene aliyense amene adzakuphani adzaganiza kuti akutumikira Mulungu. Iwo adzachita zoterozo chifukwa sanadziwe Atate kapena Inenso.

Ine sindikukhalanso mʼdziko lapansi nthawi yayitali, koma iwo akanali mʼdziko lapansi. Ine ndikubwera kwa Inu. Atate Woyera, atetezeni ndi mphamvu za dzina lanu. Dzina limene munandipatsa Ine, kuti iwo akhale amodzi monga Ife tili amodzi.

Iwo si a dziko lapansi, monga Ine sindilinso wa dziko lapansi. Ayeretseni ndi choonadi chanu. Mawu anu ndiye choonadi.

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.

Iwo atamaliza kudya chakudya chammawa, Yesu anati kwa Simoni Petro, “Simoni, mwana wa Yohane, kodi umandikonda Ine kuposa mmene amandikondera awa?” Iye anati, “Inde Ambuye, Inu mukudziwa kuti Ine ndimakukondani.” Yesu anati, “Samala ana ankhosa anga.” Yesu anatinso, “Simoni, mwana wa Yohane, kodi umandikondadi Ine?” Iye anayankha kuti, “Inde, Ambuye, Inu mukudziwa kuti ine ndimakukondani.” Yesu anati, “Weta nkhosa zanga.” Yesu anati kwa iye kachitatu, “Simoni, mwana wa Yohane, kodi umandikondadi Ine?” Petro anadzimvera chisoni chifukwa Yesu anamufunsa kachitatu kuti, “Kodi umandikonda Ine?” Iye anati, “Ambuye, Inu mudziwa zinthu zonse. Inu mukudziwa kuti Ine ndimakukondani.” Yesu anati, “Dyetsa nkhosa zanga.

Koma mudzalandira mphamvu Mzimu Woyera akadzafika pa inu; ndipo mudzakhala mboni zanga mu Yerusalemu, ku Yudeya konse ndi ku Samariya, mpaka ku malekezero a dziko lapansi.”

Onsewa ndi mtima umodzi anapitiriza kupemphera pamodzi ndi amayi, ndi Mariya amayi ake a Yesu, ndiponso abale ake a Yesu. Pa nthawi imeneyo Petro anayimirira pakati pa okhulupirira (gulu la anthu pafupifupi 120).

Litafika tsiku la chikondwerero cha Pentekosite, onse anali pamodzi. Mwadzidzidzi kunamveka mkokomo kuchokera kumwamba ngati wa mphepo yamphamvu, ndipo inadzaza nyumba yonse imene amakhala. Iwo anaona zinthu zokhala ngati malilime amoto ogawikana ndipo anakhala pa aliyense wa iwo. Ndipo onse anadzazidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera, nayamba kuyankhula mu ziyankhulo zina, monga Mzimu Woyerayo anawayankhulitsa.

Iwo amene anawulandira uthenga wake anabatizidwa ndipo tsiku lomwelo miyoyo pafupifupi 3,000 inawonjezedwa ku gulu lawo. Iwo ankasonkhana pamodzi kuphunzitsidwa ndi atumwi, pachiyanjano, pachakudya ndi popemphera. Aliyense ankachita mantha chifukwa cha zodabwitsa ndi zizindikiro zambiri zimene atumwi ankachita. Okhulupirira onse anali pamodzi ndipo aliyense ankapereka zinthu zake kuti zikhale za onse. Ankagulitsa minda yawo ndi katundu wawo, ndi kugawira kwa aliyense molingana ndi zosowa zake. Tsiku ndi tsiku ankasonkhana pamodzi pa bwalo la pa Nyumba ya Mulungu. Ankadya pamodzi mʼnyumba zawo mwasangala ndi mtima woona. Ankayamika Mulungu ndipo anthu onse ankawakomera mtima. Ndipo tsiku ndi tsiku Ambuye ankawonjezera ena pa chiwerengero cha olandira chipulumutso.

Iwo atatha kupemphera, malo amene anasonkhanapo anagwedezeka. Ndipo iwo onse anadzazidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera ndipo anayankhula Mawu a Mulungu molimba mtima. Okhulupirira onse anali a mtima umodzi, ndi maganizo amodzi. Palibe munthu amene amati zomwe anali nazo zinali zake zokha, koma amagawana chilichonse chimene anali nacho. Atumwi anapitirira kuchitira umboni mwa mphamvu zakuuka kwa Ambuye Yesu, ndipo pa iwo panali chisomo chochuluka. Panalibe anthu osowa kanthu pakati pawo. Pakuti amene anali ndi malo, kapena nyumba amagulitsa ndi kubweretsa ndalamazo ndi kuzipereka kwa atumwi, ndipo zimagawidwa kwa aliyense amene anali ndi chosowa.

Mpingo wonse ndi anthu onse amene anamva zimenezi anachita mantha kwambiri. Atumwi anachita zizindikiro zodabwitsa ndi zozizwitsa zambiri pakati pa anthu. Ndipo onse okhulupirira ankasonkhana pamodzi mu Khonde la Solomoni. Palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe analimba mtima kuphatikana nawo, ngakhale kuti anthu onse amawalemekeza kwambiri. Ngakhale zinali chotere, anthu ambiri anakhulupirira Ambuye ndipo amawonjezeredwa ku chiwerengero chawo. Chifukwa cha zimenezi, anthu anabweretsa odwala mʼmisewu ya mu mzinda nawagoneka pa mabedi ndi pa mphasa kuti chithunzi chokha cha Petro chikhudze ena mwa iwo iye akamadutsa. Anthu ochuluka ochokera ku mizinda yayingʼono ozungulira Yerusalemu amasonkhananso atatenga odwala awo ndi iwo amene amasautsidwa ndi mizimu yoyipa ndipo onsewo amachiritsidwa.

Ndipo tsiku ndi tsiku, sanaleke kuphunzitsa ndi kulalikira mʼNyumba ya Mulungu komanso nyumba ndi nyumba, Uthenga Wabwino wa kuti Yesu ndi Khristu.

Koma ife tidzadzipereka kuti tizipemphera ndi kulalikira mawu.”

Ndipo Mawu a Mulungu anapitirira kufalikira. Chiwerengero cha ophunzira mu Yerusalemu chinakula mofulumira ndipo ansembe ochuluka anakhulupirira. Stefano, munthu wodzazidwa ndi chisomo cha Mulungu ndi mphamvu anachita zodabwitsa ndiponso zizindikiro zazikulu pakati pa anthu. Panauka mtsutso kuchokera kwa anthu a ku Kurene ndi a ku Alekisandriya komanso a ku dera la Silisiya ndi Asiya, otchedwa a Sunagoge ya Mfulu. Anthu amenewa anayamba kutsutsana ndi Stefano. Koma iwo sanathe kumugonjetsa chifukwa iye ankayankhula ndi nzeru zimene Mzimu Woyera anamupatsa. Iwo ananyengerera anthu ena mwamseri kuti anene kuti, “Ife tinamva Stefano akuchitira chipongwe Mose ndiponso Mulungu.”

“Komatu, Wammwambamwambayo sakhala mʼnyumba zomangidwa ndi anthu. Monga mneneri akunena kuti, “ ‘Kumwamba ndi mpando wanga waufumu, ndipo dziko lapansi ndi chopondapo mapazi anga. Kodi mudzandimangira nyumba yotani? Akutero Ambuye. Kapena malo opumuliramo Ine ali kuti?

Ndipo Saulo anavomerezana nawo pa imfa ya Stefano. Tsiku lomwelo, mpingo wa mu Yerusalemu unayamba kuzunzidwa, ndipo onse, kupatulapo atumwi, anabalalikira ku madera onse a Yudeya ndi Samariya.

Okhulupirira amene anabalalika amalalikira konse kumene amapita. Filipo anapita ku mzinda wa ku Samariya ndipo analalikira za Khristu kumeneko. Gulu la anthu litamva Filipo akulalikira komanso kuona zizindikiro zozizwitsa zimene ankazichita, onse anamvetsetsa zimene iye amanena. Mizimu yoyipa inatuluka mwa anthu ambiri ikufuwula kwambiri ndipo ambiri amene anali akufa ziwalo ndi olumala anachiritsidwa. Kotero munali chimwemwe chachikulu mu mzindawo.

Pa nthawi imeneyi, Saulo ankaopsezabe okhulupirira Ambuye nafuna kuwapha. Iye anapita kwa mkulu wa ansembe, ndi kukapempha makalata a chilolezo kuti apite nawo ku masunagoge a ku Damasiko, kuti ngati atakapezeka ena kumeneko otsata Njirayo, kaya ndi amuna kapena amayi, akawamange ndi kuwatenga kubwera nawo ku Yerusalemu.

Akuyandikira ku Damasikoku paulendo wake, mwadzidzidzi kuwala kochokera kumwamba kunamuzungulira iye. Iye anagwa pansi ndipo anamva mawu akuti, “Saulo, Saulo ukundizunziranji Ine?” Saulo anafunsa kuti, “Ndinu yani Ambuye?” Ambuye anayankha kuti, “Ndine Yesu amene iwe ukumuzunza.” “Tsopano dzuka, lowa mu mzindamo, ndipo udzawuzidwa zoyenera kuchita.” Anthu amene anali naye paulendo, anasowa chonena; iwo anamva mawu koma sanaone wina aliyense. Saulo anayimirira, ndipo pamene anatsekula maso ake sanathe kuona. Kotero anamugwira dzanja ndi kulowa naye mu Damasiko. Anakhala wosaona kwa masiku atatu ndiponso sanadye kapena kumwa kanthu kalikonse.

Posakhalitsa anayamba kulalikira mʼsunagoge kuti Yesu ndiye Mwana wa Mulungu. Onse amene anamva iye akulalikira anadabwa ndipo anafunsa kuti, “Kodi uyu si munthu amene anayambitsa kuzunza okhulupirira ku mpingo wa ku Yerusalemu? Kodi siwabwera kuno kuti awamange ndi kuwapereka kwa akulu a ansembe?” Koma mphamvu za Saulo zinali kukulirakulira ndipo anathetsa nzeru Ayuda okhala ku Damasiko powatsimikizira kuti Yesu ndi Mpulumutsi.

Saulo atafika ku Yerusalemu, anayesetsa kulowa mʼgulu la ophunzira koma onse anamuopa chifukwa sanakhulupirire kuti anali wophunziradi. Koma Barnaba anamutenga napita naye kwa atumwi. Iye anawafotokozera iwo za mmene Saulo anaonera Ambuye pa njira paja, ndi kuti Ambuye anamuyankhula, ndi momwe analalikira ku Damasiko mʼdzina la Yesu mosaopa. Kotero Saulo anakhala nawo nayendayenda mwaufulu mu Yerusalemu akulalikira molimba mtima mʼdzina la Ambuye. Anayankhula ndi kutsutsana ndi Ayuda a Chihelene, koma iwo ankafuna kumupha.

Pamenepo mpingo wa ku Yudeya konse, ku Galileya ndi ku Samariya unakhala pamtendere, unalimbikitsidwa; ndi kupatsidwa mphamvu ndi Mzimu Woyera, unakula mʼchiwerengero, ndi kukhala moopa Ambuye.

Iye anatilamulira ife kuti tilalikire kwa anthu ndi kuchitira umboni kuti Iye ndiye amene Mulungu anamusankha kukhala woweruza wa amoyo ndi akufa.

Mphamvu ya Ambuye inali nawo ndipo anthu ambiri anakhulupirira natembenukira kwa Ambuye.

ndipo pamene anamupeza anabwera naye ku Antiokeya. Barnaba ndi Saulo anasonkhana ndi mpingo kwa chaka chimodzi naphunzitsa anthu ambirimbiri. Okhulupirirawo anayamba kutchedwa Akhristu ku Antiokeya.

Inali nthawi yomweyi imene mfumu Herode anamanga ena a mu mpingo ndi cholinga chakuti awazunze. Iye analamula kuti Yakobo mʼbale wa Yohane, aphedwe ndi lupanga. Ataona kuti zimenezi zinakondweretsa Ayuda, anawonjeza ndi kugwiranso Petro. Izi zinachitika pa nthawi ya Chikondwerero cha Buledi wopanda Yisiti.

Kotero Petro anasungidwa mʼndende, koma mpingo unamupempherera kolimba kwa Mulungu. Usiku woti mmawa mwake Herode amuzenga mlandu, Petro amagona pakati pa asilikali awiri, atamangidwa maunyolo awiri, ndiponso alonda atayima pa khomo. Mwadzidzidzi mngelo wa Ambuye anaonekera ndipo kuwala kunawunika mʼchipindamo. Mngeloyo anamugwedeza Petro mʼnthiti ndi kumudzutsa. Iye anati, “Fulumira, imirira!” Ndipo maunyolo anagwa kuchoka mʼmanja a Petro.

Pamene Paulo ndi Barnaba amatuluka mʼSunagoge, anthu anawapempha kuti adzapitirize kuyankhula zinthu zimenezi Sabata linalo. Atatha mapemphero, Ayuda ambiri ndi anthu odzipereka otembenukira ku Chiyuda anatsatira Paulo ndi Barnaba, iwo anayankhula ndi anthuwo ndipo anawapempha kuti apitirire mʼchisomo cha Mulungu. Pa Sabata linalo pafupifupi anthu onse a mu mzindawo anasonkhana kudzamva Mawu a Ambuye. Pamene Ayuda anaona gulu la anthu, anachita nsanje ndipo anayankhula zamwano kutsutsana ndi zimene Paulo amanena. Ndipo Paulo ndi Barnaba anawayankha molimba mtima kuti, “Ife tinayenera kuyankhula Mawu a Mulungu kwa inu poyamba. Popeza inu mwawakana ndi kudziyesa nokha osayenera moyo wosatha, ife tsopano tikupita kwa anthu a mitundu ina.

Ku Ikoniya, Paulo ndi Barnaba analowanso mʼsunagoge ya Ayuda. Kumeneko iwo anaphunzitsa momveka bwino kotero kuti anthu ambiri Achiyuda ndi anthu a mitundu ina anakhulupirira. Koma Ayuda amene anakana kukhulupirira anawutsa anthu a mitundu ina nawononga maganizo awo kutsutsana ndi abale. Ndipo Paulo ndi Barnaba anakhala kumeneko nthawi yayitali, nalalikira molimba mtima za Ambuye amene anawapatsa mphamvu yochitira zozizwitsa ndi zizindikiro zodabwitsa pochitira umboni mawu a chisomo.

Paulo ndi Barnaba anasankha akulu ampingo pa mpingo uliwonse, ndipo atapemphera ndi kusala kudya anawapereka kwa Ambuye amene anamukhulupirira.

Atangofika ku Antiokeya, anasonkhanitsa pamodzi mpingo ndipo anafotokoza zonse zimene Mulungu anachita kudzera mwa iwo ndiponso mmene Iye anatsekulira a mitundu ina njira ya chikhulupiriro.

Koma pakati pa usiku Paulo ndi Sila ankapemphera ndi kuyimba nyimbo zolemekeza Mulungu, ndipo akayidi ena ankamvetsera. Mwadzidzidzi kunachitika chivomerezi champhamvu kotero kuti maziko a ndende anagwedezeka. Nthawi yomweyo zitseko zonse za ndende zinatsekuka, ndipo maunyolo a aliyense anamasuka.

Tsopano anthu a ku Bereya anali akhalidwe labwino kusiyana ndi Atesalonika, pakuti iwo analandira mawu ndi chidwi chachikulu ndipo ankasanthula Malemba tsiku ndi tsiku kuti aone ngati zimene ankanena Paulozo zinali zoona. Ayuda ambiri anakhulupirira, monga anachitiranso amayi ndi amuna ambiri odziwika a Chigriki.

Tsono anakambirana ndi Ayuda ndi Agriki amene amaopa Mulungu mʼsunagoge, komanso anthu amene amapezeka pa msika tsiku ndi tsiku ndi ena amene amakumana nawo.

Tsiku la Sabata lililonse Paulo amakambirana ndi anthu mʼsunagoge, kufuna kukopa Ayuda ndi Agriki.

Iye anayamba kuyankhula mʼsunagoge molimba mtima. Pamene Prisila ndi Akula anamva, iwo anamuyitanira ku nyumba yawo ndipo anamufotokozera njira ya Mulungu molongosoka bwino.

Paulo analowa mʼsunagoge ndipo anayankhula molimba mtima kwa miyezi itatu, kuwatsutsa mowakopa za ufumu wa Mulungu. Koma ena anawumitsa mitima; anakana kukhulupirira ndipo ananyoza Njirayo pa gulu la anthu. Kotero Paulo anawasiya. Iye anatenga ophunzirawo ndipo amakambirana tsiku ndi tsiku mʼsukulu ya Turano.

Pa nthawi yomweyo panachitika chipolowe chachikulu chifukwa cha Njira ya Ambuye.

Inu mukudziwa kuti, sindinakubisireni kanthu kalikonse kopindulitsa koma ndinakuphunzitsani poyera komanso nyumba ndi nyumba. Ine ndinawuza Ayuda komanso Agriki kuti ayenera kutembenukira kwa Mulungu polapa ndikuti akhulupirire Ambuye athu Yesu.

Mudziyangʼanire nokha ndiponso muyangʼanire gulu lankhosa limene Mzimu Woyera anakuyikani kuti mukhale oyangʼanira ake. Khalani abusa a mpingo wa Mulungu umene Iye anawugula ndi magazi ake. Ndikudziwa kuti ndikachoka ine, padzafika mimbulu yolusa pakati panu imene sidzalekerera gulu lankhosalo. Ngakhale pakati pa inu nokha padzapezeka anthu oyankhula zonama ndi cholinga chofuna kukhala ndi ophunzira kuti awatsate. Tsono inu, samalani! Kumbukirani kuti kwa zaka zitatu, usana ndi usiku ndiponso ndi misozi sindinaleke kuchenjeza aliyense wa inu.

Ine ndinkazunza anthu otsatira Njirayi mpaka kuwapha. Ndinkagwira amuna ndi amayi ndi kuwayika mʼndende. Mkulu wa ansembe ndiponso akuluakulu a Ayuda angathe kundichitira umboni. Iwowa anandipatsa makalata opita nawo kwa abale awo ku Damasiko. Ndipo ndinapita kumeneko kuti ndikawagwire anthu amenewa ndi kubwera nawo ku Yerusalemu kuti adzalangidwe.

Komatu ine ndikuvomera kuti ndimapembedza Mulungu wa makolo athu, monga wotsatira wa Njirayo, imene iwo akuyitchula mpatuko. Ine ndimakhulupirira chilichonse chimene chimagwirizana ndi malamulo ndiponso zimene zinalembedwa ndi Aneneri.

Kenaka Felike, amene amadziwa bwino za Njirayo, anayamba wayimitsa mlanduwo, nati, “Ndidzagamula mlandu wako akabwera mkulu wa asilikali Lusiya.”

Ndine Paulo, mtumiki wa Khristu Yesu, woyitanidwa ndi Mulungu kukhala mtumwi. Ndinapatulidwa kuti ndilalikire Uthenga Wabwino wa Mulungu

Pakuti chilengedwe chikudikira ndi chiyembekezo kuonetsedwa poyera kwa ana a Mulungu.

Kodi adzayitana bwanji amene sanamukhulupirire? Ndipo adzakhulupirira bwanji asanamve za Iye? Ndipo adzamva bwanji popanda wina kulalikira kwa iwo? Ndipo iwo adzalalikira bwanji osatumidwa? Kwalembedwa kuti, “Akongoladi mapazi a iwo amene amabweretsa Uthenga Wabwino!”

Pakuti monga aliyense wa ife ali ndi thupi limodzi koma ziwalo zambiri, ziwalozi sizili ndi ntchito yofanana. Momwemonso mwa Khristu ife amene tili ambiri tipanga thupi limodzi ndipo chiwalo chilichonse ndi cholumikizika ku chinzake. Ife tili ndi mphatso zosiyana, molingana ndi chisomo chopatsidwa kwa ife. Ngati mphatso ya munthu ndi kunenera, musiyeni ayigwiritse ntchito molingana ndi chikhulupiriro chake. Ngati ndi kutumikira, musiyeni atumikire. Ngati ndi kuphunzitsa, musiyeni aphunzitse. Ngati ndi kulimbikitsa, musiyeni alimbikitse. Ngati ndi kupereka kuthandiza osowa, musiyeni apereke mowolowamanja. Ngati ndi utsogoleri, musiyeni alamulire mosamala. Ngati ndi kuonetsa chifundo, musiyeni achite mosangalala.

Mukondane kwathunthu monga abale. Lemekezanani wina ndi mnzake kuposa inu eni.

kukhala mtumiki wa Khristu Yesu wa a mitundu ina ndi udindo wa wansembe, kulalikira Uthenga Wabwino wa Mulungu, kuti a mitundu ina akhale nsembe yolandiridwa kwa Mulungu, yopatsidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera.

Ine ndikupereka kwa inu mlongo wathu Febe, mtumiki wa mpingo wa ku Kenkreya. Ine ndikukupemphani kuti mumulandire mwa Ambuye mʼnjira yoyenera oyera mtima ndi kumupatsa thandizo lililonse limene akulifuna kuchokera kwa inu, pakuti iye wakhala thandizo lalikulu kwa anthu ambiri kuphatikiza ine. Perekani moni kwa Prisila ndi Akura, atumiki anzanga mwa Khristu Yesu. Iwo anapereka miyoyo yawo chifukwa cha ine. Osati ine ndekha komanso mipingo yonse ya a mitundu ina ikuyamika. Perekaninso moni kwa mpingo umene umasonkhana mʼnyumba mwawo. Perekani moni kwa mʼbale wanga wokondedwa Epeneto, amene ndi woyamba kukhulupirira Khristu mʼchigawo cha Asiya.

Mupatsane moni wina ndi mnzake mwachikondi choona. Mipingo yonse ya Khristu ikupereka moni.

Kupita ku mpingo wa Mulungu ku Korinto, kwa oyeretsedwa mwa Khristu Yesu ndi oyitanidwa kukhala opatulika ndiponso kwa onse amene amapemphera mʼdzina la Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu mʼdziko lonse lapansi, amene ndi Ambuye wawo ndi wathunso.

Mulungu amene wakuyitanani inu mu chiyanjano ndi Mwana wake Yesu Khristu Ambuye athu ngokhulupirika. Ndidandaulira inu, abale, mʼdzina la Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu kuti nonsenu muvomerezane wina ndi mnzake kuti pasakhale kugawikana pakati panu ndi kuti mukhale amodzi kwenikweni mu nzeru ndi mʼmaganizo. Abale anga, ena a ku nyumba ya Kloe andidziwitsa kuti pali mkangano pakati panu. Chimene ndikutanthauza ndi ichi: wina amati, “Ndimatsatira Paulo,” wina, “Ndimatsatira Apolo,” wina, “Ndimatsatira Kefa,” winanso, “Ndimatsatira Khristu.” Kodi Khristu wagawikana? Kodi Paulo anapachikidwa pa mtanda chifukwa cha inu? Kodi munabatizidwa mʼdzina la Paulo?

koma ife timalalikira Khristu wopachikidwa. Chitsa chokhumudwitsa kwa Ayuda ndi chopusa kwa a mitundu ina.

Pamene ndinabwera kwa inu, abale, sindinabwere ndi luntha lodziwa kuyankhula kapena nzeru zapamwamba pamene ndinachitira umboni chinsinsi cha Mulungu.

Uthenga ndi ulaliki wanga sunali wa mawu anzeru ndi onyengerera koma woonetsa mphamvu za Mzimu, kuti chikhulupiriro chanu chisatsamire pa nzeru ya anthu koma pa mphamvu za Mulungu. Komabe ife timayankhula uthenga wa nzeru kwa okhwima, koma osati ndi nzeru ya mʼbado uno kapena ya olamula a mʼbado uno, amene mphamvu yawo ikutha. Ayi, ife timayankhula za nzeru yobisika ya Mulungu, nzeru imene inabisidwa ndipo imene Mulungu anatikonzera mu ulemerero wathu isanayambe nthawi. Palibe olamulira aliyense wa mʼbado uno amene anamumvetsetsa popeza anakamumvetsetsa sakanamupachika Ambuye wa ulemerero.

Izi ndi zimene timayankhula osati mʼmawu wophunzitsidwa ndi nzeru za munthu koma mʼmawu wophunzitsidwa ndi Mzimu, kufotokozera zoonadi zauzimu mʼmawu auzimu.

Ine ndinadzala mbewu, Apolo anayithirira, koma Mulungu ndiye anayikulitsa. Choncho kuphatikiza iye wodzala ndi iye wothirira, onse sali kanthu, koma Mulungu yekha amene amakulitsa zinthu. Munthu wodzala ndi munthu wothirira ali ndi cholinga chimodzi, ndipo aliyense adzapatsidwa mphotho molingana ndi ntchito yake. Pakuti ife ndife antchito anzake a Mulungu; inu ndinu munda wa Mulungu, Nyumba ya Mulungu.

Mwachisomo chimene Mulungu wandipatsa, ine ndinayika maziko monga mmisiri waluntha, ndipo ena akumangapo. Koma aliyense ayenera kuchenjera mmene akumangira. Pakuti wina sangayikenso maziko ena oposera amene anakhazikitsidwa kale, amene ndi Yesu Khristu.

Kodi inu simukudziwa kuti ndinu Nyumba ya Mulungu ndipo kuti Mzimu wa Mulungu amakhala mwa inu? Ngati wina aliyense awononga Nyumba ya Mulunguyo, Mulungu nayenso adzamuwononga ameneyo; popeza Nyumba ya Mulungu ndi yopatulika ndipo Nyumbayo ndi inu amene.

Choncho tsono anthu atione ife monga atumiki a Khristu, ndiponso ngati osunga zinsinsi za Mulungu. Chofunika kwambiri nʼchakuti amene apatsidwa udindo oyangʼanira aonetse kukhulupirika.

Koma tsopano ndikukulemberani kuti musayanjane ndi aliyense amene adzitcha mʼbale koma ndi wachigololo, kapena waumbombo, kapena wopembedza mafano, kapena wonamizira anzake, woledzera kapena wopeza ndalama mwachinyengo. Munthu wotere ngakhale kudya, osadya naye pamodzi. Kodi ndipindulanji kuti ndiweruze anthu amene si a mu mpingo? Kodi simuyenera kuweruza iwo amene ali mu mpingo? Mulungu adzaweruza akunja. “Chotsani woyipayo pakati panu.”

Kodi simukudziwa kuti thupi lanu ndi Nyumba ya Mzimu Woyera, amene ali mwa inu, amene mwalandira kuchokera kwa Mulungu? Inu simuli panokha ayi.

Kodi simukudziwa kuti wogwira ntchito mʼNyumba ya Mulungu amapeza chakudya chawo mʼNyumbamo, ndipo kuti otumikira pa guwa lansembe amagawana zimene zaperekedwa pa guwa lansembelo. Chomwechonso Ambuye akulamula kuti wolalikira Uthenga Wabwino azilandira thandizo lawo polalikira Uthenga Wabwinowo.

Komatu ndikamalalikira Uthenga Wabwino, sindingadzitamandire popeza ndimawumirizidwa kulalikira. Tsoka kwa ine ngati sindilalikira Uthenga Wabwino!

Tsono mphotho yanga ndi chiyani? Ndi iyi: kuti polalikira Uthenga Wabwino ndiwupereke kwaulere komanso kuti ndisagwiritse ntchito ufulu wanga polalikira uthengawo.

Ine ndimazunza thupi langa ndi kulisandutsa kapolo kuti nditatha kulalikira ena, ineyo ndingadzapezeke wosayenera kulandira nawo mphotho.

Pamene tidalitsa chikho cha Mgonero wa Ambuye, mothokoza Mulungu, kodi sitikugawana magazi a Khristu? Nanga buledi amene timanyemayo, kodi sitikugawana thupi la Khristu? Pakuti buledi ndi mmodzi yekha, ifenso ngakhale tili ambiri, ndife thupi limodzi, popeza tonse timagawana buledi mmodzi yemweyo. Taganizirani zimene amachita Aisraeli. Kodi onse amene amadya zoperekedwa nsembe, samachita nawo miyambo ya pa guwapo? Kodi ndikutanthauza kuti nsembe zoperekedwa kwa mafano ndi kanthu konse, kapena kuti mafano ndi kanthu konse? Ayi. Nsembe za osakhulupirira zimaperekedwa kwa ziwanda, osati kwa Mulungu, ndipo sindikufuna kuti muziyanjana ndi ziwandazo. Simungamwe chikho cha Ambuye, ndi kukamweranso chikho cha ziwanda. Simungadyere pa tebulo la Ambuye ndiponso la ziwanda.

Tsatirani chitsanzo changa, monga inenso nditsatira chitsanzo cha Khristu.

Koma popereka malangizo awa sindikufuna kukuyamikirani popeza mʼmisonkhano yanu mumachita zoyipa kuposa zabwino. Choyamba, ndikumva kuti mukasonkhana mu mpingo mumasankhana ndipo ndikukhulupirira kuti zimenezi kwinaku nʼzoona. Nʼzosakayikitsa kuti pali kugawikana pakati panu kuti adziwike amene ndi ovomerezeka ndi Mulungu.

Pakuti nthawi zonse pamene mudya bulediyu ndikumwa chikhochi, mukulalikira imfa ya Ambuye mpaka Iye adzabweranso. Chifukwa chake, aliyense amene adya buledi kapena kumwa chikho cha Ambuye mʼnjira yosayenera adzachimwira thupi ndi magazi a Ambuye. Munthu adzisanthule yekha asanadye buledi kapena kumwa chikhochi. Popeza aliyense amene adya kapena kumwa mosazindikira thupi la Ambuye, amadya ndi kumwa chiweruzo chake chomwe. Nʼchifukwa chake pakati panu ambiri mwa inu ndi ofowoka ndi odwala, ndipo ambirinso agona tulo.

Tsopano abale anga okondedwa, sindikufuna mukhale osadziwa za mphatso za Mzimu.

Pali mphatso zosiyanasiyana, koma Mzimu yemweyo. Pali mautumiki osiyanasiyana koma Ambuye yemweyo. Pali magwiridwe antchito osiyanasiyana, koma Mulungu yemweyo amagwira ntchito monsemo mwa anthu onse. Tsono Mzimu amapereka mphatso kwa aliyense kuti ipindulire onse. Mzimu amapereka kwa munthu wina mawu anzeru, Mzimu yemweyonso amapereka kwa wina mawu achidziwitso. Kwa wina, Mzimu yemweyo amapereka chikhulupiriro, kwa wina mphatso zamachiritso, Mzimu yemweyo. Kwa wina mphamvu zochita zodabwitsa, kwa wina mawu a uneneri, kwa wina mphatso yozindikira mizimu, kwa wina malilime osiyanasiyana, ndiponso kwa wina kutanthauzira malilimewo. Zonsezi ndi ntchito za Mzimu mmodzi yemweyo, ndipo amapereka kwa munthu aliyense monga momwe Mzimuyo wafunira.

Thupi ndi limodzi, ngakhale kuti lapangidwa ndi ziwalo zambiri. Ndipo ngakhale ziwalo zake zonse ndi zambiri, zimapanga thupi limodzi. Momwemonso ndi mmene alili Khristu. Pakuti tonse tinabatizidwa ndi Mzimu mmodzi mʼthupi limodzi. Myuda kapena Mgriki, kapolo kapena mfulu tonse tinapatsidwa kuti timwe Mzimu mmodzi yemweyo.

Tsopano thupi silinapangidwe ndi chiwalo chimodzi koma ndi ziwalo zambiri. Ngati phazi litanena kuti, “Pakuti sindine dzanja, sindine chiwalo cha thupi.” Chifukwa chimenechi sichingachititse phazi kuti lisakhale chiwalo cha thupi. Ndipo ngati khutu litanena kuti, “Pakuti sindine diso, sindine chiwalo cha thupi.” Chifukwa chimenechi sichingachititse khutu kuti lisakhale chiwalo cha thupi. Kodi thupi lonse likanakhala diso, tikanamamva bwanji? Nanga thupi lonse likanakhala khutu, tikanamanunkhiza bwanji? Koma zoona nʼzakuti, Mulungu anayika ziwalo mʼthupi, chilichonse monga momwe Iye anafunira. Nanga zonse zikanakhala chiwalo chimodzi, ndiye thupi likanakhala lotani? Mmene zililimu, pali ziwalo zambiri koma thupi ndi limodzi lokha. Diso silingawuze dzanja kuti, “Iwe sindikukufuna!” Ndipo mutu sungawuze phazi kuti “Iwe sindikukufuna!” Mʼmalo mwake, ziwalo zathupi zimene zimaoneka ngati zofowoka ndizo zili zofunikira kwambiri, ndipo ziwalo zathupi zimene timaziyesa zopanda ulemu, ndizo timazilemekeza kwambiri. Ndipo ziwalo zosaoneka bwino ndizo zimalandira ulemu wapadera. Koma ziwalo zooneka bwino, nʼkosafunika kuti tizisamalire mwapadera. Mulungu polumikiza ziwalo zathupi, anapereka ulemu wopambana kwa ziwalo zimene zimafunadi ulemuwo kuti pasakhale kugawikana mʼthupi koma kuti ziwalo zonse zisamalirane. Ngati chiwalo chimodzi chikumva kuwawa, ziwalo zonse zimamvanso kuwawa. Ngati chiwalo chimodzi chilandira ulemu, ziwalo zonse zimakondwera nawo. 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. Kodi onse ndi atumwi? Kodi onse ndi aneneri? Kodi onse ndi aphunzitsi? Kodi onse amachita zozizwitsa? Kodi onse ali ndi mphatso zamachiritso? Kodi onse amayankhula malilime? Kodi onse amatanthauzira malilime?

Koma amene amanenera amayankhula kwa anthu kuti awapatse mphamvu, awalimbikitse ndi kuwakhazikitsa mtima pansi. Iye amene amayankhula malilime amadzilimbikitsa yekha, koma amene amanenera amalimbikitsa mpingo. Nʼkanakonda kuti aliyense mwa inu atamayankhula malilime, koma ndi bwino kuti muzinenera. Amene amanenera amaposa amene amayankhula malilime, pokhapokha atatanthauzira kuti mpingo upindule.

Koma mu mpingo ndi kwabwino kuti ndiyankhule mawu asanu okha omveka bwino kuti ndilangize bwino ena kusiyana ndikuyankhula mawu ambirimbiri mʼmalilime.

Kotero, malilime ndi chizindikiro, osati cha kwa okhulupirira koma kwa osakhulupirira. Koma kunenera ndi chizindikiro kwa okhulupirira osati kwa osakhulupirira. Kotero kuti ngati mpingo wonse utasonkhana pamodzi ndipo aliyense namayankhula malilime, ndipo wina amene sangazindikire kapena ena osakhulupirira nabwerapo, kodi sadzanena kuti mwachita misala? Koma ngati wosakhulupirira kapena wina amene sakuzindikira abwera pamene aliyense akunenera, adzatsutsika mu mtima ndi zonse zimene akumva ndipo adzaweruzidwa ndi onse ndipo zinsinsi za mu mtima mwake zidzawululika. Kotero kuti adzadzigwetsa pansi ndi kupembedza Mulungu akufuwula kuti, “Mulungu ali pakati panudi!”

Kodi tsono abale, tinene chiyani? Pamene musonkhana pamodzi, aliyense amakhala ali ndi nyimbo yoti ayimbe, kapena mawu oti alangize, vumbulutso, malilime, kapena kumasulira kwake. Zonsezi cholinga chake chikhale kulimbikitsa mpingo. Ngati wina ayankhula malilime, awiri kapena akachulukapo atatu ndiye ayankhule mmodzimmodzi, ndipo wina ayenera kutanthauzira zimene ayankhulazo. Ngati palibe wotanthauzira, woyankhulayo akhale chete mu mpingo ndipo adziyankhulire iye mwini ndi Mulungu. Aneneri awiri kapena atatu anenere, ndipo enawo asanthule mosamalitsa zimene anenerazo. Ndipo ngati vumbulutso labwera kwa munthu amene wakhala pansi, amene akuyankhulayo akhale chete. Pakuti nonse mukhoza kunenera mmodzimmodzi motsatana kuti aliyense alangizidwe ndi kulimbikitsidwa. Mizimu ya aneneri imamvera ulamuliro wa aneneri. Pakuti Mulungu si Mulungu wachisokonezo koma wamtendere. Monga mwa mipingo yonse ya oyera mtima.

Amayi akhale chete mʼmisonkhano ya mpingo. Iwo asaloledwe kuyankhula, koma azikhala omvera monga mmene lamulo linenera. Ngati ali ndi mafunso, akafunse amuna awo ku nyumba. Nʼchochititsa manyazi kuti mkazi ayankhule mu msonkhano wa mpingo. Kodi kapena mawu a Mulungu anachokera kwa inu? Kapena anafika kwa inu nokha? Ngati wina aliyense akuganiza kuti ndi mneneri kapena kuti ali ndi mphatso za Mzimu, ayenera kudziwa kuti zimene ndikukulemberanizi ndi lamulo la Ambuye. Ngati munthu savomereza zimenezi, iyeyonso sadzavomerezedwa.

Nʼchifukwa chake, abale anga, funitsitsani kunenera, ndipo musaletse anthu kuyankhula malilime. Koma chilichonse chichitike moyenera ndi mwadongosolo.

Pakuti ine ndine wamngʼono kwa atumwi ndipo sindiyenera nʼkomwe kutchedwa mtumwi chifukwa ndinazunza mpingo wa Mulungu.

Musasocheretsedwe, “Kukhala mʼmagulu oyipa kumawononga makhalidwe abwino.”

Abale onse kuno akupereka moni wawo. Patsanani moni wachikondi chenicheni.

Kusiyana ndi ena ambiri, ife sitilalikira Mawu a Mulungu kuti tipeza phindu. Mʼmalo mwake, ife mwa Khristu timayankhula pamaso pa Mulungu moona mtima, monga anthu otumidwa ndi Mulungu.

Sikuti mwa ife muli kanthu kotiganizitsa kuti tingathe kugwira ntchitoyi patokha, koma kulimba mtima kwathu kumachokera kwa Mulungu. Iye watipatsa kulimba mtima kuti tikhale atumiki a pangano latsopano, osati malamulo olembedwa koma a Mzimu; pakuti malamulo olembedwa amapha koma Mzimu amapereka moyo.

Koma ife takaniratu njira zonse zachinsinsi ndi zochititsa manyazi. Sitichita kanthu mwachinyengo kapena mopotoza Mawu a Mulungu. Mʼmalo mwake, timayankhula choonadi poyera pamaso pa Mulungu, kufuna kuti aliyense ativomereze mu mtima mwake.

Choncho sitilalikira za ife eni, koma Yesu Khristu monga Ambuye, ife ndife atumiki anu chifukwa cha Yesu.

Popeza tikudziwa kuti ngati msasa wa dziko lapansi umene tikukhalamo uwonongeka, tili ndi nyumba yochokera kwa Mulungu, nyumba yamuyaya yakumwamba, osati yomangidwa ndi manja a anthu.

Choncho ife ndi akazembe a Khristu, monga ngati Mulungu akudandaulira anthu kudzera mwa ife. Ife tikukupemphani inu mʼmalo mwa Khristu kuti, yanjanitsidwani ndi Mulungu.

Pogwira naye ntchito pamodzi, tikukudandaulirani kuti musangolandira chisomo cha Mulungu pachabe.

Mʼmalo mwake, mwanjira iliyonse timasonyeza kuti ndife atumiki a Mulungu popirira kwambiri mʼmasautso, mʼzowawa ndi mʼzodetsa nkhawa.

Pali mgwirizano wanji pakati pa Nyumba ya Mulungu ndi nyumba ya mafano? Popezatu ndife Nyumba ya Mulungu wamoyo. Monga Mulungu wanena kuti, “Ndidzakhala mwa iwo ndipo ndidzayendayenda pakati pawo, ndipo ndidzakhala Mulungu wawo, ndipo adzakhala anthu anga.” Nʼchifukwa chake “Tulukani pakati pawo ndi kudzipatula, akutero Ambuye. Musakhudze chodetsedwa chilichonse, ndipo ndidzakulandirani.”

ndipo anatipempha motiwumiriza kuti tiwapatse mwayi woti nawonso athandize anthu oyera mtima a ku Yudeya.

Kunena za Tito, ndiye mnzanga ndi wogwira naye ntchito pakati panu. Kunena za abale athu, ndiwo oyimirira mipingo ndi olemekezetsa Khristu. Choncho anthu amenewa atsimikizireni za chikondi chanu ndipo adziwe chifukwa chimene ife timakunyadirani, kuti mipingo yonse iwone chimenechi.

Ndipo ndipitiriza kuchita zomwe ndikuchitazi nʼcholinga chakuti ndisapereke mpata kwa amene akufuna kupezera mwayi woti afanane nafe pa zinthu zimene iwowo amadzitamandira. Pakuti anthu oterewa ndi atumwi onama, antchito achinyengo, odzizimbayitsa ngati atumwi a Khristu.

Ndinapirira pokuonetserani zizindikiro za mtumwi weniweni, pochita pakati panu zizindikiro, zodabwitsa ndi ntchito zamphamvu.

Lonjeranani ndi mpsopsono wachiyero. Anthu onse a Mulungu akupereka moni. Chisomo cha Ambuye Yesu Khristu, ndi chikondi cha Mulungu, ndi chiyanjano cha Mzimu Woyera zikhale ndi inu nonse.

Ngakhale ife kapena mngelo wochokera kumwamba, akalalikira Uthenga Wabwino wosiyana ndi umene tinakulalikirani uja, iyeyo akhale wotembereredwa! Monga tanena kale, tsopano ndikubwereza kunenanso kuti, “Ngati wina aliyense akulalikirani Uthenga Wabwino wosiyana ndi umene munawulandira, iyeyo akhale wotembereredwa.” Kodi tsopano ndikufuna kukopa anthu kuti andivomereze, kapena Mulungu? Kapena ndikufuna kukondweretsa anthu? Ngati ine ndikanakhala kuti ndikufunabe kukondweretsa anthu, sindikanakhala mtumiki wa Khristu.

Abale, ngati munthu agwa mʼtchimo lililonse, inu amene Mzimu amakutsogolerani, mumuthandize munthuyo ndi mtima wofatsa kuti akonzekenso. Koma mukhale maso kuti inu nomwe mungayesedwe. Thandizanani kusenza zolemetsa zanu, ndipo mʼnjira imeneyi mudzakwanitsa lamulo la Khristu. Ngati wina adziyesa kanthu pamene iyeyo sali kanthu konse, akudzinamiza yekha.

Nʼchifukwa chake ngati tapeza mpata, tiyenera kuchitira zabwino anthu onse, makamaka amene ndi a banja la okhulupirira.

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.

Kotero kuti, inu sindinunso alendo ndi adani, koma nzika pamodzi ndi anthu a Mulungu ndiponso a mʼbanja la Mulungu. 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.

chimene sichinawululidwe kwa anthu amibado ina monga momwe tsopano chawululidwa ndi Mzimu wa Mulungu mwa atumwi oyera ndi aneneri. Chinsinsicho nʼchakuti, kudzera mu Uthenga Wabwino anthu a mitundu ina ndi olowamʼmalo pamodzi ndi Aisraeli, ndi ziwalo za thupi limodzi, ndi olandira nawo pamodzi malonjezo a mwa Khristu Yesu. Mwachisomo cha Mulungu ndi mphamvu zake, ine ndinasanduka mtumiki wa Uthenga Wabwinowu. Ngakhale ndili wamngʼono kwambiri pakati pa anthu onse a Mulungu, anandipatsa chisomo chimenechi cholalikira kwa anthu a mitundu ina chuma chopanda malire cha Khristu. Ndinasankhidwa kuti ndifotokoze momveka bwino kwa munthu aliyense za chinsinsi chimenechi, chinsinsi chimene kuyambira kale chinali chobisika mwa Mulungu amene analenga zinthu zonse. Cholinga chake tsopano nʼchakuti, kudzera mwa mpingo, mafumu ndi a ulamuliro onse a kumwamba adziwe nzeru zochuluka za Mulungu.

Iyeyo akhale ndi ulemu mu mpingo ndi mwa Khristu Yesu pa mibado yonse mpaka muyaya. Ameni.

Ine monga wamʼndende chifukwa chotumikira Ambuye, ndikukulimbikitsani kuti mukhale moyo woyenera mayitanidwe amene munalandira. Mukhale odzichepetsa kwathunthu ndi ofatsa; mukhale oleza mtima, ololerana wina ndi mnzake mwachikondi. Muyesetse kusunga umodzi wa Mzimu; umodzi umene umatimangirira pamodzi mu mtendere. Pali thupi limodzi ndiponso Mzimu mmodzi, monganso pali chiyembekezo chimodzi chimene anakuyitanirani. Pali Ambuye mmodzi, chikhulupiriro chimodzi, ubatizo umodzi; Mulungu mmodzi ndi Atate a onse, ndipo ali mwa onse.

Iye ndiye amene anapereka mphatso kwa ena kuti akhale atumwi ndi ena aneneri, ena alaliki, ndi ena abusa ndi aphunzitsi. Ntchito yawo ndi kukonza oyera mtima kuti agwire ntchito ya utumiki kuti thupi la Khristu lilimbikitsidwe. Izi zidzatifikitsa tonse ku umodzi wachikhulupiriro, kumudziwa Mwana wa Mulungu, kukhwima msinkhu ndi kufika pa muyeso wangwiro weniweni wopezeka mwa Khristu. Motero sitidzakhalanso makanda, ogwedezekagwedezeka ndi mafunde, otengekatengeka ndi mphepo iliyonse ya chiphunzitso ndi kuchenjera kwa anthu achinyengo amene amasocheretsa anthu ndi kuchenjera kwawo. 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.

Muziyankhulana wina ndi mnzake mawu a Masalimo, nyimbo za Mulungu ndi nyimbo za uzimu. Muziyimbira Ambuye movomerezana ndi mitima yanu. Muziyamika Mulungu Atate nthawi zonse chifukwa cha zonse, mʼdzina la Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu. Gonjeranani wina ndi mnzake, kuonetsa kuopa Khristu.

Pakuti mwamuna ndi mutu wa mkazi monga momwe Khristu ali mutu wa mpingo, thupi lake, limene Iyeyo ndi Mpulumutsi wake. Tsono monga mpingo umagonjera Khristu, momwemonso akazi akuyenera kugonjera amuna awo mu zonse. Inu amuna, kondani akazi anu monga momwe Khristu anakondera mpingo nadzipereka yekha mʼmalo mwa mpingowo kuti awupatule ukhale oyera, atawuyeretsa powusambitsa ndi madzi omwe ndi mawu ake. Anachita zimenezi kuti awupereke mpingowo kwa Iye mwini, mpingo wowala ndi waulemerero, wopanda banga kapena makwinya kapena chilema chilichonse, koma oyera ndi wangwiro.

Pakuti palibe amene amadana nalo thupi lake, koma amalidyetsa ndi kulisamalira bwino, monga momwe Khristu amachitira ndi mpingo wake pakuti ndife ziwalo za thupi lake. “Pa chifukwa ichi, mwamuna adzasiya abambo ndi amayi ake nakaphatikana ndi mkazi wake, ndipo awiriwo adzakhala thupi limodzi.” Ichi ndi chinsinsi chozama, koma ine ndikunena za Khristu ndi mpingo.

Ngati muli ndi chilimbikitso chilichonse chifukwa cholumikizana ndi Khristu, ngati muli ndi chitonthozo chifukwa cha chikondi chake, ngati muli ndi mtima umodzi mwa Mzimu, ndipo ngati mumakomerana mtima ndi kuchitirana chifundo, tsono tsirizani chimwemwe changa pokhala amaganizo ofanana, achikondi chimodzimodzi, amodzi mu mzimu ndi acholinga chimodzinso. Musachite kalikonse ndi mtima odzikonda chabe kapena odzitukumula chabe. Koma khalani odzichepetsa ndipo aliyense aziona mnzake ngati womuposa iyeyo. Musamangofuna zokomera inu nokha koma aliyense azifuna zokomeranso ena.

Abale, nonsenu pamodzi mudzinditsanzira ine, ndipo monga inu muli ndi chitsanzo, phunzirani kwa amene akukhala moyo motsatira momwe timakhalira.

Inde, ndikupempha iwe mnzanga pa ntchitoyi, thandiza amayiwa amene ndagwira nawo ntchito ya Uthenga Wabwino pamodzi ndi Klementonso ndi ena onse antchito anzanga amene mayina awo ali mʼbuku lamoyo.

Iye ndiyenso mutu wa thupi, limene ndi mpingo. Iye ndiye chiyambi chake, woyamba kuuka kwa akufa, kuti Iyeyo akhale wopambana zonse.

Tsopano ine ndikukondwa kuti ndinavutika chifukwa cha inu, ndipo ndikukwaniritsa mʼthupi langa zimene zikuperewera pa masautso a Khristu, chifukwa cha thupi lake, limene ndi Mpingo. Ine ndakhala mtumiki wake mwa lamulo limene Mulungu anandipatsa kuti ndipereke Mawu a Mulungu athunthu,

Iwo sakulumikizananso ndi mutu, kumene kumachokera thupi lonse, logwirizidwa ndi kumangiriridwa pamodzi ndi mʼmitsempha yake ndi mnofu, limene limakula monga mmene Mulungu afunira kuti likulire.

Choncho, ngati anthu osankhidwa ndi Mulungu, oyera mtima ndi okondedwa kwambiri, muvale chifundo, kukoma mtima, kudzichepetsa, kufatsa ndi kupirira. Mulezerane mtima ndipo muzikhululukirana ngati wina ali ndi chifukwa ndi mnzake. Muzikhululukirana monga Ambuye anakhululukira inu. Ndipo kuwonjezera pa zonsezi valani chikondi, chimene chimangirira zonsezi pamodzi mu mgwirizano wangwiro. Mtendere wa Khristu ulamulire mʼmitima mwanu, popeza monga ziwalo za thupi limodzi, munayitanidwa kuti mukhale ndi mtendere. Ndipo muziyamika. Mawu a Khristu akhazikike kwathunthu mʼmitima mwanu. Muziphunzitsana ndi kulangizana wina ndi mnzake ndi nzeru zonse pamene mukuyimba Masalimo, nyimbo zotamanda ndi nyimbo zauzimu, kuyimbira Mulungu ndi mitima yoyamika.

Koma timayankhula monga anthu ovomerezeka ndi Mulungu ndi osungitsidwa Uthenga Wabwino. Ife sitikufuna kukondweretsa anthu koma Mulungu, amene amasanthula mitima yathu. Monga mukudziwa kuti sitinagwiritse ntchito mawu oshashalika kapena mtima wofuna phindu, Mulungu ndiye mboni yathu. Ife sitinafune kutamidwa ndi anthu, kapena ndi inu, kapena wina aliyense mwa inu. Ngati atumwi a Khristu tikanatha kukhala cholemetsa kwa inu, mʼmalo mwake tinali ngati ana aangʼono pakati panu. Monga mmene amayi amasamalira ana awo angʼono, moteronso tinakusamalirani. Chifukwa tinakukondani kwambiri, tinali okondwa kugawana nanu osati Uthenga Wabwino wa Mulungu wokha, komanso miyoyo yathu. Abale, pakuti mukumbukira kugwira ntchito kwathu kwambiri ndi kuvutika; ife tinagwira ntchito usana ndi usiku ndi cholinga chakuti tisakhale cholemetsa, kwa aliyense pamene ife tinkalalikira Uthenga Wabwino wa Mulungu kwa inu.

Tsono kunena za kukondana wina ndi mnzake, nʼkosafunikira kuti tikulembereni, popeza ndi Mulungu amene anakuphunzitsani za kukondana wina ndi mnzake.

Choncho limbikitsanani wina ndi mnzake ndi kuthandizana kukula mu mzimu, monga momwe mukuchitira. Tsopano tikukupemphani abale kuti muziwalemekeza amene akugwira ntchito pakati panu, amene amakuyangʼanirani mwa Ambuye ndi amene amakulimbikitsani. Muziwachitira ulemu kwambiri mwachikondi chifukwa cha ntchito yawo. Mukhale pa mtendere wina ndi mnzake. Ndipo tikukupemphani abale, muwachenjeze amene akungokhala osagwira ntchito, alimbikitseni amanyazi, thandizani ofowoka ndipo muzilezera mtima aliyense.

Nʼchifukwa chake, timayankhula monyadira mʼmipingo yonse ya Mulungu za kupirira kwanu ndi chikhulupiriro chanu pakati pa masautso onse ndi mayesero amene mukudutsamo. Zonsezi zikutsimikiza kuti Mulungu amaweruza molungama. Zotsatira zake ndi zakuti mudzatengedwa kukhala oyenera kulowa mu ufumu wa Mulungu umene mukuwuvutikira.

Abale, tikukulamulani mʼdzina la Ambuye Yesu Khristu, kuti mupewe mʼbale aliyense amene ndi waulesi ndi wachisokonezo, wosafuna kutsata zimene tinakuphunzitsani.

Ngati wina aliyense akana kumvera malangizo athu a mʼkalatayi, mumuonetsetse ameneyo ndipo musayanjane naye kuti achite manyazi. Komatu musamutenge kukhala mdani, koma muchenjezeni ngati mʼbale.

Anthu ena anapatuka pa zimenezi ndipo anatsata nkhani zopanda tanthauzo. Iwo amafuna kukhala aphunzitsi amalamulo, koma sadziwa zimene akunena, kapena zimene akufuna kutsimikiza.

Nʼchifukwa chake anandisankha kukhala mlaliki ndiponso mtumwi wophunzitsa anthu a mitundu ina mawu achikhulupiriro choona. Sindikunama ayi, ndikunena zoona. Choncho ndikufuna kuti paliponse popemphera, amuna azikweza manja awo kwa Mulungu mopanda mkwiyo kapena kukangana.

Ndikufunanso kuti amayi azivala mwaulemu, modzilemekeza ndi moyenera. Adzikongoletse koma osati ndi tsitsi loluka mowonjeza muyeso kapena zokongoletsa zagolide kapena mikanda yamtengowapatali kapena ndi zovala zamtengowapatali. Koma adzikongoletse ndi ntchito zabwino zoyenera mayi wopembedza Mulungu. Amayi azikhala chete pophunzitsidwa ndi mtima ogonjera kwathunthu. Ine sindikulola kuti amayi aziphunzitsa kapena kulamulira amuna; koma akhale chete. Pakuti Adamu ndiye anayamba kupangidwa kenaka Hava. Ndipo Adamu si amene ananyengedwa koma mkazi ndiye amene ananyengedwa nachimwa.

Mawu woona ndi awa: Ngati munthu akufunitsitsa atakhala woyangʼanira, ndiye kuti akufuna ntchito yabwino. Tsono woyangʼanira ayenera kukhala munthu wopanda chotsutsika nacho, mwamuna wa mkazi mmodzi yekha, woganiza bwino, wodziretsa, waulemu, wosamala bwino alendo, wodziwa kuphunzitsa. Asakhale chidakwa, asakhale wandewu, koma wofatsa, asakhale wokonda mikangano, kapena wokonda ndalama. Akhale wodziwa kusamala bwino banja lake ndi kulera ana ake bwino, kuti akhale omvera ndi aulemu weniweni. (Ngati munthu sadziwa kusamala banja lake lomwe, angathe bwanji kusamala mpingo wa Mulungu?) Asakhale wongotembenuka mtima kumene kuopa kuti angadzitukumule napezeka pa chilango monga Satana. Ayeneranso kukhala munthu wambiri yabwino ndi akunja, kuti anthu asamutonze nagwa mu msampha wa Satana.

Momwemonso atumiki, akhale anthu oyenera ulemu, woona mtima, osakhala okonda zoledzeretsa, osakonda kupeza zinthu mwachinyengo. Ayenera kugwiritsa mozama choonadi cha chikhulupiriro ndi kukhala ndi chikumbumtima chabwino. Ayambe ayesedwa kaye, ndipo ngati palibe kanthu kowatsutsa, aloleni akhale atumiki. Momwemonso, akazi akhale olemekezeka, osasinjirira koma oganiza bwino ndi odalirika pa chilichonse. Mtumiki akhale wokhulupirika kwa mkazi wake ndipo ayenera kukhala wosamalira bwino ana ake ndi onse a pa khomo pake. Iwo amene atumikira bwino amakhala ndi mbiri yabwino ndipo amakhala chitsimikizo chachikulu cha chikhulupiriro chawo mwa Khristu Yesu.

Ine zina zikandichedwetsa kubwera, mudziwe za mmene anthu ayenera kukhalira mʼNyumba ya Mulungu, imene ndi mpingo wa Mulungu wamoyo, mzati ndi maziko achoonadi.

Mzimu akunena momveka bwino kuti mʼmasiku otsiriza anthu ena adzataya chikhulupiriro chawo ndi kutsatira mizimu yonyenga ndi zinthu zophunzitsidwa ndi ziwanda.

Ngati abale uwalangiza zimenezi, udzakhala mtumiki wabwino wa Khristu Yesu, woleredwa mʼchoonadi cha chikhulupiriro ndi mʼchiphunzitso chabwino chimene wakhala ukutsata. Koma upewe nkhani zachabe ndi nthano za amayi okalamba; mʼmalo mwake udziphunzitse kukhala moyo wolemekeza Mulungu.

Lamulira ndi kuphunzitsa zinthu zimenezi. Usalole kuti wina akupeputse chifukwa ndiwe wachinyamata, koma khala chitsanzo kwa okhulupirira pa mayankhulidwe, pa makhalidwe, pa chikondi, pa chikhulupiriro ndi pa kuyera mtima. Mpaka nditabwera, udzipereke powerenga mawu a Mulungu kwa anthu, kulalikira ndi kuphunzitsa. Usanyozere mphatso yako yomwe inapatsidwa kwa iwe kudzera mʼmawu auneneri pamene gulu la akulu ampingo linakusanjika manja. Uzichita zimenezi mosamalitsa ndi modzipereka kwathunthu, kuti aliyense aone kuti ukupita mʼtsogolo. Samala kwambiri moyo wako ndi ziphunzitso zako. Uzichitabe zimenezi chifukwa ukatero, udzadzipulumutsa ndiponso udzapulumutsa okumvetsera.

Akulu ampingo amene amayangʼanira bwino zochitika za mu mpingo, ndi oyenera ulemu wowirikiza, makamaka amene ntchito yawo ndi kulalikira ndi kuphunzitsa. Pakuti Mawu a Mulungu amati, “Musamange ngʼombe pakamwa pamene ikupuntha tirigu,” ndi “Wantchito ngoyenera kulandira malipiro ake.” Usamamvere mawu oneneza akulu ampingo pokhapokha patakhala mboni ziwiri kapena zitatu. Akulu ampingo amene akuchimwa, uwadzudzule poyera kuti ena aphunzirepo. Ndikukulamulira pamaso pa Mulungu, pamaso pa Yesu Khristu ndi pamaso pa angelo osankhika, kuti usunge malangizowa mosachotsera ndipo usachite kalikonse mokondera. Usafulumire kusanjika manja munthu, ndipo usavomerezane ndi anthu ena pa machimo. Usunge bwino kuyera mtima kwako.

Ngati wina aphunzitsa zosiyana ndi zimenezi, wosagwirizana ndi malangizo woona a Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu ndi chiphunzitso cholemekeza Mulungu,

Ine ndinasankhidwa kukhala wamthenga, ndi mtumwi ndi mphunzitsi wa Uthenga Wabwinowu. Nʼchifukwa chake ndikuvutika monga ndililimu. Komabe zimenezi sizikundichititsa manyazi, popeza ndikumudziwa amene ndamukhulupirira ndipo ndikutsimikiza mtima kuti akhoza kusamalira chimene ndinamusungitsa mpaka tsiku lijalo.

Ndipo zinthu zimene unamva ine ndikuziyankhula pamaso pa mboni zambiri, uziphunzitse kwa anthu odalirika amene akaphunzitsenso ena. Umve nane zowawa, monga msilikali wa Khristu Yesu.

Uyesetse kukhala wovomerezeka pamaso pa Mulungu monga wantchito wopanda chifukwa chochitira manyazi amene amalalikira mawu achoonadi molondola. Upewe nkhani zopanda pake, zosalemekeza Mulungu, chifukwa anthu oyankhula zotere amanka napotokerapotokera. Chiphunzitso chawo chidzafalikira ngati chilonda. Mwa anthuwa muli Humenayo ndi Fileto. Iwowa apatuka pa choonadi. Iwo amaphunzitsa kuti kuuka kwa akufa kunachitika kale, motero amawononga chikhulupiriro cha anthu ena. Komabe maziko olimba, amene Mulungu anawayika ngokhazikika, ndipo mawu olembedwapo ndi awa: “Yehova amadziwa amene ndi ake,” ndiponso, “Aliyense amene amavomereza dzina la Ambuye ayenera kusiya zoyipa.”

Ukane matsutsano oyipa ndi opusa, chifukwa amayambitsa mikangano. Ndiponso mtumiki wa Ambuye asamakangane ndi anthu, koma azikhala wachifundo kwa aliyense, wodziwa kuphunzitsa, osati wokalipakalipa. Otsutsana naye awalangize mofatsa, mwina Mulungu adzawapatsa mwayi woti asinthike ndi kuzindikira choonadi. Motero nzeru zawo zidzabweramo, ndipo adzathawa msampha wa mdierekezi, amene anawagwira ukapolo kuti azichita zofuna zake.

Malemba onse anawalembetsa ndi Mulungu, ndipo othandiza pophunzitsa, podzudzula, pokonza cholakwika ndi polangiza za chilungamo kuti munthu wa Mulungu akonzekere bwino lomwe kugwira ntchito iliyonse yabwino.

Pamaso pa Mulungu ndi pamaso pa Khristu Yesu, amene adzaweruza amoyo ndi akufa omwe pamene adzaonekera ndi ufumu wake, ndikukulamula kuti: Lalikira Mawu; khala wokonzeka pa nthawi yake, ngakhale pamene si pa nthawi yake. Konza zolakwa zawo, dzudzula ndipo limbikitsa moleza mtima kwambiri ndi malangizo osamalitsa. Pakuti idzafika nthawi imene anthu adzakana chiphunzitso choona. Mʼmalo mwake, chifukwa chokhumba kumva zowakomera zokha, adzasonkhanitsa aphunzitsi ambiri omawawuza zimene iwo akufuna kumva. Sadzafuna kumva choona koma adzafuna kumva nthano chabe. Koma iwe, khala tcheru nthawi zonse, pirira mʼzovuta, gwira ntchito ya mlaliki, gwira ntchito zonse za utumiki wako.

Ndinakusiya ku Krete kuti ulongosole zonse zimene ndinazisiya zisanathe ndiponso usankhe akulu ampingo mʼmizinda yonse, monga momwe ndinakulamulira. Mkulu wampingo akhale munthu wopanda cholakwa, akhale wa mkazi mmodzi yekha, munthu amene ana ake ndi okhulupirira, osati amakhalidwe oyipa ndi osamvera. Popeza mkulu wa mpingo amayendetsa ntchito za banja la Mulungu, ayenera kukhala wopanda cholakwa, asakhale womva zayekha, kapena wopsa mtima msanga, kapena womwa zoledzeretsa, kapena wandewu, kapena wopeza phindu mwachinyengo. Koma akhale wosamala bwino alendo, wokonda zabwino, wodziretsa, wolungama, woyera mtima ndi wosunga mwambo. Iye ayenera kugwiritsa mawu okhulupirika monga tinaphunzitsira, kuti athe kulimbikitsa ena ndi chiphunzitso choona ndiponso kugonjetsa amene atsutsana nacho.

Tsono zimenezi ndi zinthu zomwe uyenera kuphunzitsa. Uziwalimbikitsa anthu ndi kuwatsutsa komwe. Uzichita zimenezi ndi ulamuliro wonse. Wina aliyense asakupeputse ayi.

Iye akuti, “Ine ndidzawuza abale anga za dzina lanu. Ndidzakuyimbirani nyimbo zamatamando pamaso pa mpingo.” Ndiponso, “Ine ndidzakhulupirira Iyeyo.” Ndiponso Iye akuti, “Ine ndili pano pamodzi ndi ana amene Mulungu wandipatsa.” Tsono popeza kuti anawo ndi anthu, okhala ndi mnofu ndi magazi, Yesu nayenso anakhala munthu ngati iwowo kuti kudzera mu imfa yake awononge Satana amene ali ndi mphamvu yodzetsa imfa.

Koma Khristu ndi wokhulupirika monga mwana pa nyumba ya Mulungu. Ndipo ndife nyumba yake ngati tipitirire kulimbika mtima ndi kunyadira zomwe tikuyembekerazo.

Koma muzilimbikitsana tsiku ndi tsiku, ikanalipo nthawi imene imatchedwa kuti “Lero” kuti aliyense wa inu mtima wake usawumitsidwe ndi chinyengo cha tchimo.

Ngakhale kuti pa nthawi ino munayenera kukhala aphunzitsi, pakufunikabe munthu wina kuti abwerezenso kudzakuphunzitsani maphunziro oyambira a choonadi cha Mulungu. Ndinu ofunika mkaka osati chakudya cholimba! Aliyense amene amangodya mkaka okha, akanali mwana wakhanda, sakudziwa bwino chiphunzitso cha chilungamo. Koma chakudya cholimba ndi cha anthu okhwima msinkhu, amene pogwiritsa ntchito nzeru zawo, aphunzira kusiyanitsa chabwino ndi choyipa.

Ndiponso tili ndi wansembe wamkulu woyangʼanira nyumba ya Mulungu.

Tiziganizira mmene tingalimbikitsirane wina ndi mnzake pokondana ndi kuchita ntchito zabwino. Tiyeni tisaleke kusonkhana kwathu pamodzi monga mmene ena amachitira, koma tizilimbikitsana makamaka poona kuti tsiku la Ambuye layandikira.

Koma inu mwafika ku Phiri la Ziyoni, ku mzinda wa Mulungu wamoyo, Yerusalemu wakumwamba. Mwafika mu msonkhano wa angelo osangalala osawerengeka. Mwafika mu mpingo wa ana oyamba kubadwa, amene mayina awo analembedwa kumwamba. Inu mwafika kwa Mulungu, woweruza anthu onse, ndiponso kwa mizimu ya anthu olungama ndi osandutsidwa kukhala angwiro.

Muzikumbukira atsogoleri anu, amene amakulalikirani Mawu a Mulungu. Ganizirani zamoyo wawo ndipo tsatirani chikhulupiriro chawo.

Muzimvera atsogoleri anu ndi kugonjera ulamuliro wawo, iwo amakuyangʼanirani monga anthu amene adzayenera kufotokoza za ntchito yawo pamaso pa Mulungu. Muziwamvera kuti agwire ntchito yawo ndi chimwemwe osati molemedwa pakuti izi sizingakupindulireni. Mutipempherere ifenso. Pakuti tikutsimikiza kuti tili ndi chikumbumtima changwiro ndipo timafuna kuchita zinthu zonse mwaulemu.

Tangoganizirani, pakati panu patabwera munthu atavala mphete yagolide ndi zovala zapamwamba, ndipo winanso wosauka nʼkulowa atavala sanza. Ngati musamala kwambiri munthu wovala bwinoyu uja, nʼkumuwuza kuti, “Khalani pa mpando wabwinowu,” koma wosauka uja nʼkumuwuza kuti, “Ima apo,” kapena “Khala pansi pafupi ndi chopondapo mapazi angawa,” kodi simunachite tsankho pakati panu ndi kukhala oweruza a maganizo oyipa? Tamverani abale anga okondedwa, kodi Mulungu sanasankhe amene dziko lapansi limawaona ngati amphawi kuti akhale olemera mʼchikhulupiriro ndi kulowa ufumu umene Iye analonjeza kwa amene amamukonda?

Kodi alipo wina mwa inu akudwala? Ayitane akulu ampingo kuti adzamupempherere ndi kumudzoza mafuta mʼdzina la Ambuye. Ndipo pemphero lachikhulupiriro lidzachiritsa munthu wodwalayo ndipo Ambuye adzamuutsa. Ngati wachimwa adzakhululukidwa. Choncho, ululiranani machimo anu ndi kupemphererana wina ndi mnzake kuti muchiritsidwe. Pemphero la munthu wolungama ndi lamphamvu ndipo limagwira ntchito.

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. Koma inu ndinu anthu osankhidwa ndi Mulungu, ansembe achifumu, mtundu woyera mtima, anthu ake enieni a Mulungu, munasankhidwa kuti mulalikire za ntchito zamphamvu za Iye amene anakuyitanani kuti mutuluke mu mdima ndi kulowa mʼkuwunika kwake kodabwitsa. Kale simunali anthu ake, koma tsopano ndinu anthu a Mulungu. Kale simunalandire chifundo, koma tsopano mwalandira chifundo.

Koposa zonse muzikondana wina ndi mnzake kwambiri, chifukwa chikondi chimaphimba machimo ambiri. Muzisamalirana wina ndi mnzake osamanyinyirika. Aliyense agwiritse ntchito mokhulupirika mphatso iliyonse imene anayilandira potumikira ena ngati adindo ogwiritsa bwino ntchito mphatso za Mulungu za mitundumitundu. Ngati wina ayankhula, ayankhuledi mawu enieni a Mulungu. Ngati wina atumikira, atumikire ndi mphamvu imene Mulungu amapereka, kuti pa zonse Mulungu alemekezedwe mwa Yesu Khristu. Kwa Iye kukhale ulemerero ndi mphamvu mpaka muyaya, Ameni.

Pakuti nthawi yafika kuti chiweruzo chiyambe mʼnyumba ya Mulungu, ndipo ngati chiyamba ndi ife nanga podzafika kwa osamvera Uthenga Wabwino wa Mulungu, chidzakhala chotani?

Ine ndikupempha akulu a mpingo amene ali pakati panu, monga inenso mkulu mnzawo, mboni ya zowawa za Khristu ndiponso amene ndidzalandira nawo ulemerero umene uti udzaonetsedwe. Wetani gulu la Mulungu limene lili mʼmanja mwanu, muziliyangʼanira. Muzichita osati mowumirizidwa, koma mwakufuna kwanu, monga momwe Mulungu akufunira kuti mutero. Musachite chifukwa chadyera la ndalama, koma ndi mtima ofuna kutumikira. Musakhale ngati mafumu pa amene mukuwayangʼanira, koma mukhale chitsanzo kwa gululo. Ndipo Mʼbusa wamkulu akadzaonekera, mudzalandira chipewa cha ulemerero chosafota. Momwemonso, inu anyamata gonjerani amene ndi akulu. Inu nonse mukhale odzichepetsa kuti mutumikirane, chifukwa, “Mulungu amatsutsana nawo odzikuza, koma amapereka chisomo kwa odzichepetsa.”

Mupatsane moni ndi mpsopsono wachikondi. Mtendere ukhale ndi inu nonse amene muli mwa Khristu.

Koma panalinso aneneri onama pakati pa Aisraeli, monga padzakhalanso aphunzitsi onyenga pakati panu. Iwo adzalowetsa mwamseri ziphunzitso zonama ndi zowononga, nadzakana Ambuye amene anawawombola, ndipo motero adzadziyitanira okha chiwonongeko mwadzidzidzi. Ambiri adzatsata njira zawo zochititsa manyazi ndipo chifukwa cha iwowa, anthu adzanyoza njira ya choonadi. Pofuna kupeza chuma, aphunzitsiwa adzakudyerani chuma chanu pokuwuzani nkhani zopeka. Chiweruzo chawo chinakonzedwa kale, ndipo chikuwadikira.

Tikukulalikirani chimene tinachiona ndi kumva, kuti inuyo muyanjane nafe. Kuyanjana kwathu, tikuyanjana ndi Atate ndiponso ndi Mwana wawo, Yesu Khristu.

Koma tikamayenda mʼkuwunika, monga Iye ali mʼkuwunika, pamenepo timayanjana wina ndi mnzake, ndipo magazi a Yesu, Mwana wake, amatitsuka ndi kutichotsera tchimo lililonse.

Aliyense amene amati amakhala mwa Mulungu, ayenera kukhala moyo umene Yesu ankakhala.

Anthu amenewa anachoka pakati pathu, komatu sanali a mʼgulu lathu. Pakuti akanakhala a mʼgulu lathu, akanakhalabe nafe, koma kuchoka kwawo kunatisonyeza kuti sanali a mʼgulu lathu.

Ine ndikukulemberani zimenezi kuti ndikuwuzeni za amene akufuna kukusocheretsani. Koma za inu, kudzoza kumene munalandira kwa Khristu kuli mwa inu, ndipo sipafunika wina aliyense kuti akuphunzitseni. Koma kudzozako kumakuphunzitsani zinthu zonse, ndipo popeza kudzoza kwakeko nʼkoona osati konama, monga munaphunzira, khalani mwa Iyeyo.

Aliyense amene ndi mwana wa Mulungu, sachimwirachimwira, popeza mbewu ya Mulungu ili mwa iye, sangathe kuchimwa, chifukwa ndi mwana wa Mulungu. Mmenemu ndi mmene timadziwira ana a Mulungu ndi amene ali ana a mdierekezi. Aliyense amene sachita chilungamo si mwana wa Mulungu; ngakhalenso amene sakonda mʼbale wake. Uthenga umene munawumva kuyambira pachiyambi ndi uwu: Tizikondana wina ndi mnzake.

Ife tikudziwa kuti tinatuluka mu imfa ndi kulowa mʼmoyo, chifukwa timakonda abale athu. Aliyense amene sakonda mʼbale wake akanali mu imfa.

Mmene timadziwira chikondi chenicheni ndi umu: Yesu anapereka moyo wake chifukwa cha ife. Ndipo nafenso tiyenera kupereka miyoyo yathu chifukwa cha abale athu. Ngati wina ali ndi chuma ndipo nʼkuona mʼbale wake akusowa, koma wosamvera chisoni, kodi mwa iyeyo muli chikondi cha Mulungu? Ana okondedwa, chikondi chathu chisakhale cha pakamwa pokha koma cha ntchito zathu ndi mʼchoonadi.

Anzanga okondedwa, musakhulupirire mzimu uliwonse, koma yesani mizimu ngati ikuchokera kwa Mulungu, chifukwa aneneri onama ambiri afalikira mʼdziko lapansi.

Aliyense amene sasunga chiphunzitso cha Khristu, alibe Mulungu. Koma amene amasunga chiphunzitsochi, ameneyo alinso ndi Atate ndi Mwana. Ngati wina aliyense abwera kwa inu osaphunzitsa zimenezi, musamulandire mʼnyumba mwanu kapena kumupatsa moni. Aliyense wolandira munthu wotere ndiye kuti akuvomerezana nazo ntchito zake zoyipa.

Ndinalembera mpingo, koma Diotrefe, amene amafuna kukhala wotsogolera, sanafune kutimvera. Tsono ndikabwera ndidzakumbutsa zimene iye amachita. Iye amafalitsa nkhani zabodza zonena ife. Ndipo sakhutira ndi zimenezo, komanso iyeyo amakana kulandira abale. Komanso amaletsa amene akufuna kutero, ndipo amawachotsa mu mpingo. Wokondedwa, usatsatire zinthu zoyipa koma zinthu zabwino. Aliyense amene amachita zinthu zabwino ndi wochokera kwa Mulungu. Aliyense amene amachita zoyipa sanamuonepo Mulungu.

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,

Tanthauzo la nyenyezi zisanu ndi ziwiri zimene waziona mʼdzanja langa lamanja ndi la zoyikapo nyale zagolide zisanu ndi ziwiri ndi ili: Nyenyezi zisanu ndi ziwiri ndi angelo a mipingo isanu ndi iwiri ija, ndipo zoyikapo nyale zisanu ndi ziwiri zija ndi mipingo isanu ndi iwiri ija.”

“Lembera mngelo wa mpingo wa ku Efeso kuti: Awa ndi mawu ochokera kwa amene ali ndi nyenyezi zisanu ndi ziwiri zija mʼdzanja lake lamanja amene akuyenda pakati pa zoyikapo nyale zisanu ndi ziwiri zagolide. Ine ndimadziwa zochita zako, ntchito yako yowawa ndi kupirira kwako. Ine ndimadziwa kuti sungalekerere anthu oyipa amene amadzitcha atumwi pamene sichoncho, unawayesa, ndipo unawapeza kuti ndi abodza. Iwe wapirira ndipo wakumana ndi zovuta chifukwa cha dzina langa, ndipo sunatope. Komabe ndili ndi chotsutsana nawe: Wataya chikondi chako chapoyamba. Kumbukirani kuti munagwa kuchokera patali. Lapa ndikuchita zinthu zimene unkachita poyamba. Ngati sulapa ndidzabwera ndikukuchotsera choyikapo nyale chako pamalo pake. Komabe chokomera chako ndi chakuti umadana ndi zochita za Anikolai, zimene Inenso ndimadana nazo. Amene ali ndi makutu, amve zimene Mzimu akuwuza mipingo.

Musachite mantha ndi zimene muti musauke nazo posachedwapa. Ndithu, Satana adzayika ena a inu mʼndende pofuna kukuyesani, ndipo mudzazunzika kwa masiku khumi.

“Lembera mngelo wampingo wa ku Laodikaya kuti: Awa ndi mawu ochokera kwa Ameni, mboni yokhulupirika ndi yoona, gwero la zolengedwa zonse za Mulungu. Ine ndimadziwa ntchito zako, kuti sindiwe wozizira kapena wotentha. Ndikanakonda ukanakhala wozizira kapena wotentha! Tsono popeza ndiwe wofunda chabe, sindiwe wotentha kapena wozizira, ndatsala pangʼono kuti ndikulavule mʼkamwa mwanga. Iwe umati: ‘Ndine wolemera, ndine wachuma ndipo sindisowa kanthu.’ Koma sudziwa kuti ndiwe wovutika, womvetsa chisoni, waumphawi, wosaona ndi wamaliseche. Ndikukulangiza kuti ugule kwa Ine golide woyengedwa ndi moto kuti ukhale wolemera. Ugule zovala zoyera kuti uvale ndi kuphimba umaliseche wako wochititsa manyaziwo. Ndiponso ugule kwa Ine mankhwala a mʼmaso kuti uwone. Amene ndimawakonda ndimawadzudzula ndi kuwalanga. Choncho chita changu ndipo lapa. Taonani ndayima pa khomo ndikugogoda. Ngati wina amva mawu anga natsekula chitseko, Ine ndidzalowamo ndi kudya naye, Ine ndi iyeyo. Amene adzapambana, ndidzamupatsa ufulu wokhala nane pamodzi pa mpando wanga waufumu monga mmene Ine ndinapambana ndi kukhala pansi ndi Atate anga pa mpando wawo waufumu. Amene ali ndi makutu, amve zimene Mzimu akuwuza mipingo.”

Nʼchifukwa chake, “iwowa ali patsogolo pa mpando waufumu wa Mulungu ndipo akutumikira usana ndi usiku mʼNyumba ya Mulungu; ndipo Iye wokhala pa mpando waufumu adzawaphimba ndi tenti yake.

Ndinapatsidwa bango longa ndodo yoyezera ndipo ndinawuzidwa kuti, “Pita, kayeze Nyumba ya Mulungu ndi guwa lansembe, ndipo ukawerenge anthu opembedza mʼNyumbamo.

Pamenepo anatsekula Nyumba ya Mulungu kumwamba ndipo mʼkati mwake munaoneka Bokosi la Chipangano. Kenaka kunachita mphenzi, phokoso, mabingu, chivomerezi ndipo kunachita mkuntho wamatalala akuluakulu.

Pamenepa ndi pofunika kupirira kwa anthu oyera mtima amene amasunga malamulo a Mulungu ndi kukhalabe okhulupirika kwa Yesu.

Ndipo Nyumba ya Mulungu inadzaza ndi utsi wochokera ku ulemerero wa Mulungu ndi ku mphamvu zake, ndipo panalibe yemwe akanalowa mʼNyumbayo mpaka miliri isanu ndi iwiri ya angelo asanu ndi awiri aja itatha.

Ndiponso ndinamva mawu ena kuchokera kumwamba akuti: “ ‘Anthu anga tulukani, mwa iye,’ mungachimwe naye kuti musadzalandire nawo gawo lililonse la miliri yake;

“Kondwerani chifukwa cha iye inu kumwamba! Kondwerani oyera mtima ndi atumwi ndi aneneri! Mulungu wamuweruza iye monga momwe anakuchitirani inu.”

Kenaka mawu anachoka ku mpando waufumu kuti, “Lemekezani Mulungu wathu inu nonse atumiki ake, inu amene mumamuopa, nonse angʼono ndi akulu!” Kenaka ndinamva chimene chinamveka ngati gulu lalikulu, ngati mkokomo wamadzi othamanga ndipo ngati kugunda kwakukulu kwa bingu, ndipo anati, “Haleluya! Pakuti Ambuye Mulungu wathu Wamphamvuzonse akulamulira. Tiyeni tisangalale ndi kukondwera ndi kumutamanda! Pakuti nthawi ya ukwati wa Mwana Wankhosa yafika, ndipo Mkwatibwi wakonzekeratu. Wapatsidwa nsalu yoyera kwambiri, yowala ndi yosada kuti avale.” (Nsalu yoyera kwambiri ikuyimira ntchito zolungama za oyera mtima). Kenaka mngelo anandiwuza kuti, “Lemba kuti, Odala amene ayitanidwa ku phwando la ukwati wa Mwana Wankhosa.” Ndipo anatinso, “Awa ndiwo mawu woona a Mulungu.”

Ndinaona mzinda wopatulika, Yerusalemu watsopano, ukutsika kuchokera kumwamba kwa Mulungu, utakonzedwa ngati mkwatibwi wovala zokongola kukonzekera mwamuna wake. Ndipo ndinamva mawu ofuwula kuchokera ku Mpando Waufumu kuti, “Taonani! Malo wokhalapo Mulungu ali pakati pa anthu, ndipo Iye adzakhala ndi anthuwo. Iwo adzakhala anthu ake ndipo Mulungu mwini adzakhala nawo nakhala Mulungu wawo. ‘Mulungu adzapukuta misozi yonse mʼmaso mwawo. Sikudzakhalanso imfa kapena kukhuza maliro kapena kulira kapena ululu popeza zakale zapita.’ ”

Mmodzi wa angelo asanu ndi awiri aja, anali ndi mbale zisanu ndi ziwiri zodzaza ndi miliri yotsiriza isanu ndi iwiri anandiwuza kuti, “Bwera, ine ndidzakuonetsa mkwatibwi wa Mwana Wankhosa.” Ndipo anandinyamula mwa Mzimu Woyera kupita nane ku phiri lalikulu ndi lalitali nandionetsa mzinda wopatulika, Yerusalemu ukutsika kuchokera kumwamba kwa Mulungu. Unawala ndi ulemerero wa Mulungu, ndipo kuthwanima kwake kunali ngati mwala wamtengowapatali, ngati jasipa; woyera ngati krustalo. Mzindawo unali ndi mpanda waukulu ndi wautali, unali ndi zipata khumi ndi ziwiri, ndipo panali angelo khumi ndi awiri. Pa chipata chilichonse panayima mngelo. Pa chipata chilichonse panalembedwa dzina la fuko la Israeli. Kummawa kunali zipata zitatu, kumpoto zitatu, kummwera zitatu ndi kumadzulo zitatu. Mpanda wa mzindawu unali ndi maziko khumi ndi awiri ndipo pa mazikopo panali mayina khumi ndi awiri a atumwi a Mwana Wankhosa.

Ine sindinaone Nyumba ya Mulungu iliyonse mu mzindawo chifukwa Ambuye Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse ndi Mwana Wankhosa ndiwo Nyumba yake.

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