29 – Ziwanda

Ndipo njoka inali yochenjera kuposa nyama yakuthengo iliyonse imene Yehova Mulungu anapanga. Njokayo inati kwa mkaziyo, “Kodi Mulungu ananenadi kuti, ‘Inu musadye zipatso za mtengo uliwonse mʼmundamu?’ ” Mkaziyo anati kwa njokayo, “Tikhoza kudya zipatso za mʼmitengo ya mʼmundawu, koma Mulungu anati, ‘Musadye zipatso za mu mtengo umene uli pakati pa munda, ndipo musadzawukhudze kuti mungadzafe.’ ” “Ndithudi simudzafa,” inatero njokayo kwa mkaziyo. “Pakuti Mulungu akudziwa kuti tsiku limene mudzadye zipatso za mu mtengowo, maso anu adzatsekuka, ndipo mudzakhala ngati Mulungu, wodziwa zabwino ndi zoyipa.” Pamene mkaziyo anaona kuti mtengowo unali wabwino kudya ndi wokongola ndi kuti unali wopatsa nzeru, anatengako zipatso zake nadya. Zina anamupatsako mwamuna wake amene anali naye pomwepo ndipo naye anadyanso.

Tsono Yehova Mulungu anati kwa mkaziyo, “Wachitachi nʼchiyani?” Mkaziyo anati, “Njoka inandinamiza, ndipo ndinadya.” Choncho Yehova Mulungu anati kwa njokayo, “Popeza wachita zimenezi, “Ndiwe wotembereredwa kuposa ziweto zonse ndi nyama zakuthengo zonse. Udzayenda chafufumimba ndipo udzadya fumbi masiku onse a moyo wako. Ndipo ndidzayika chidani pakati pa iwe ndi mkaziyo, pakati pa mbewu yako ndi mbewu yake; Iye adzaphwanya mutu wako ndipo iwe udzaluma chidendene chake.”

Anthu atayamba kuchuluka pa dziko lapansi ndi kubereka ana aakazi, ana aamuna a Mulungu anaona kuti ana aakazi a anthuwo anali okongola. Ndipo anakwatira aliyense amene anamusankha. Tsono Yehova anati, “Sindilola kuti chipwirikiti chikuchitikachi chipitirire mpaka muyaya, pakuti iye ndi munthu; masiku a moyo wake adzakhala zaka 120.” Masiku amenewo komanso pambuyo pake, pa dziko lapansi panali Anefili, anthu amphamvu ndiponso otchuka. Anthuwa ndi amene ankabadwa ana a Mulungu aja atakwatira ana aakazi a anthu.

Motero asadzapherenso nsembe fano la mbuzi limene amachita nalo zadama. Limeneli ndi lamulo la muyaya kwa iwo ndi mibado ya mʼtsogolo.’ ”

“ ‘Musamapite kwa woyankhula ndi mizimu ya anthu akufa, kapena kwa owombeza. Musamawafunefune kuti angakuyipitseni. Ine ndine Yehova Mulungu wanu.

“ ‘Ngati munthu adzapita kwa woyankhula ndi mizimu ya anthu akufa kapena kwa owombeza, nadziyipitsa powatsatira iwowo, Ine ndidzamufulatira ndi kumuchotsa pakati pa anthu anzake.

“ ‘Mwamuna kapena mkazi woyankhula ndi mizimu ya anthu akufa kapena wanyanga pakati panu ayenera kuphedwa. Muwagende ndi miyala, ndipo magazi awo adzakhala pa mitu pawo.’ ”

amene ankawayitana ku nsembe za milungu yawo. Anthuwo anadya chakudya chopereka kwa milungu ndi kupembedza milunguyo. Motero Aisraeli anapembedza nawo Baala-Peori ndipo Yehova anawapsera mtima kwambiri.

Pasapezeke pakati panu munthu wootcha pa moto mwana wake wamwamuna kapena wamkazi ngati nsembe. Asapezekenso pakati panu munthu wowombeza kapena wochita mawula, wolosera, wochita za ufiti, wolodza, kapena woyankhula ndi mizimu ya anthu akufa ndi kumafunsira nzeru kwa anthu akufawo.

Anapereka nsembe kwa ziwanda zimene si Mulungu, milungu imene sankayidziwa nʼkale lomwe, milungu yongobwera kumene, milungu imene makolo anu sankayiopa.

Choncho Aisraeli anayamba kuchita zinthu zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova ndipo anatumikira Abaala.

Afilisti atalanda Bokosi la Mulungu lija, analitenga kuchoka ku Ebenezeri kupita ku Asidodi. Kenaka anatenga Bokosi la Chipanganolo nabwera nalo ku nyumba ya Dagoni ndi kuliyika pambali pa Dagoni. Anthu a ku Asidodi atadzuka mmawa mwake, anangoona Dagoni atagwa pansi chafufumimba pamaso pa Bokosi la Yehova! Iwo anatenga Dagoni ndi kumuyimika pamalo pake. Koma mmawa mwakenso atadzuka, anaona Dagoni atagwa chafufumimba pamaso pa Bokosi la Yehova. Mutu wake ndi manja ake zinali zitaduka ndi kugwera pa khonde polowera, thunthu lake lokha ndilo linatsala. Nʼchifukwa chake mpaka lero ansembe a Dagoni kapena wina aliyense amene amalowa mʼkachisi wa Dagoni ku Asidodi saponda pa khonde. Yehova analanga koopsa anthu a ku Asidodi. Yehova anawawononga ndi kuwazunza ndi zithupsa Asidoniwa pamodzi ndi anthu a madera ozungulira. Anthu a ku Asidodi ataona zimene zimachitika anati, “Bokosi la Mulungu wa Israeli lisakhale kuno chifukwa akutizunza ife pamodzi ndi mulungu wathu Dagoni.”

Nthawi imeneyo Mzimu wa Yehova unamuchokera Sauli, ndipo mzimu woyipa wochokera kwa Yehova unayamba kumuzunza. Atumiki a Sauli anati, “Taonani mzimu woyipa wochokera kwa Mulungu ukukuzunzani. Ndiyetu, inu mbuye wathu titumeni ife antchito anu kuti tikafune munthu wodziwa bwino kuyimba zeze. Tsono pamene mzimu woyipa wochokera kwa Mulungu wakufikirani, iye azidzayimba ndipo mudzakhala bwino.”

Nthawi zonse mzimu woyipa wochokera kwa Mulungu umati ukamufikira Sauli, Davide ankatenga zeze wake nʼkumamuyimbira. Choncho Sauli ankapeza bwino, ndipo mzimu woyipa uja unkamusiya.

Mmawa mwake mzimu woyipa uja unabwera mwamphamvu pa Sauli. Sauli anayamba kubwebweta mʼnyumba mwake. Davide ankamuyimbira zeze monga nthawi zonse. Sauli anali ndi mkondo mʼdzanja lake.

Tsiku lina mzimu woyipa uja unafikanso pa Sauli. Nthawi imeneyi nʼkuti Sauli uja ali mʼnyumba mwake, mkondo uli mʼdzanja lake ndi Davide akuyimba zeze,

Pakuti iye ankapembedza Asitoreti, mulungu wamkazi wa Asidoni, ndiponso Moleki mulungu wonyansa wa Aamoni. Kotero Solomoni anachita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova. Sanatsatire Yehova kwathunthu monga anachitira Davide abambo ake. Pa phiri la kummawa kwa Yerusalemu, anamanga malo opembedzerapo Kemosi, mulungu wonyansa wa Mowabu, ndiponso malo a Moleki, mulungu wonyansa wa Aamoni.

Mikaya anapitiriza kuyankhula nati, “Tsono imvani mawu a Yehova: Ine ndinaona Yehova atakhala pa mpando wake waufumu, gulu lonse la kumwamba litayima ku dzanja lake lamanja ndi ku dzanja lake lamanzere. Ndipo Yehova anati, ‘Kodi ndani amene akamukope Ahabu kuti akathire nkhondo Ramoti Giliyadi, nʼkukafera komweko?’ ” “Wina anapereka maganizo ena ndipo winanso maganizo ena. Potsirizira, mzimu wina unabwera ndi kuyima pamaso pa Yehova ndipo unati, ‘Ine ndidzamukopa.’ ” Yehova anafunsa kuti, “Ukamukopa bwanji?” Mzimuwo unati, “Ndidzapita ndi kukakhala mzimu wabodza pakamwa pa aneneri ake onse.” Yehova anati, “ ‘Iwe udzamukopadi. Pita kachite zomwezo.’ “Ndipo tsopano taonani, Yehova wayika mzimu wabodza mʼkamwa mwa aneneri anu onsewa. Yehova waneneratu kuti mukaona mavuto.”

Iwowo anasiya malamulo onse a Yehova Mulungu wawo, nadzipangira mafano awiri osungunula a ana angʼombe ndiponso fano la Asera, napembedza zonse zamlengalenga ndi kutumikira Baala. Ndipo anadutsitsa mʼmoto ana awo aamuna ndi aakazi. Iwo ankawombeza mawula, namachitanso zanyanga ndipo anadzipereka kuchita zoyipa pamaso pa Yehova namukwiyitsa.

Kuwonjezera apa, Yosiya anachotsa anthu a mawula, woyankhula ndi mizimu ya anthu akufa, milungu ya mʼnyumba, mafano ndiponso zinthu zonse zonyansa zopezeka mu Yuda ndi Yerusalemu. Iye anachita izi pokwaniritsa lamulo lolembedwa mʼbuku limene Hilikiya analipeza mʼNyumba ya Yehova.

Sauli anafa chifukwa anali wosakhulupirika pamaso pa Yehova. Iye sanasunge mawu a Yehova, pakuti anakafunsira nzeru kwa woyankhula ndi mizimu ya anthu akufa,

Satana anafuna kuvutitsa Aisraeli choncho anawutsa mtima wa Davide kuti awerenge Aisraeli.

Ndipo iye anasankha ansembe akeake a pa malo opatulika ndi a mafano a mbuzi ndi mwana wangʼombe amene anapanga.

Iye ankakapereka ana ake aamuna ngati nsembe yopsereza ku chigwa cha Hinomu, ankachita zamatsenga, kuwombeza ndi ufiti, ankakafunsira kwa woyankhula ndi mizimu ya anthu akufa. Iye anachita zoyipa zambiri pamaso pa Yehova, kumukwiyitsa Iyeyo.

Ana a Mulungu atabwera kudzadzionetsa pamaso pa Yehova, nayenso Satana anafika nawo limodzi. Yehova anati kwa Satanayo, “Kodi iwe ukuchokera kuti?” Satana anayankha Yehova kuti, “Ndakhala ndikungoyendayenda ndi kumangozungulira mʼdzikoli.” Pamenepo Yehova anati kwa Satana, “Kodi unalingalirapo za mtumiki wanga Yobu? Palibe wina pa dziko lapansi wofanana naye; ndi munthu wosalakwa ndi wolungama mtima, munthu amene amaopa Mulungu ndi kupewa zoyipa.” Satana anayankha kuti, “Kodi Yobu amaopa Mulungu popanda chifukwa?” “Kodi Inu simumamuteteza iyeyo, nyumba yake ndi zonse zimene ali nazo? Mwadalitsa ntchito ya manja ake, kotero kuti nkhosa ndi ngʼombe zake zili ponseponse mʼdzikomo. Koma tatambasulani dzanja lanu ndi kukantha zonse ali nazo ndipo iyeyo adzakutukwanani ndithu pamaso panu.” Yehova anati kwa Satana, “Chabwino, tsono zonse zimene ali nazo ndaziyika mʼmanja mwako, koma iye yekhayo usamukhudze.” Pamenepo Satana anachoka pamaso pa Yehova.

Tsiku linanso pamene ana a Mulungu anabwera kudzadzionetsa pamaso pa Yehova, nayenso Satana anabwera nawo limodzi kudzadzionetsa pamaso pa Yehova. Ndipo Yehova anati kwa Satana, “Kodi iwe ukuchokera kuti?” Satana anayankha Yehova kuti, “Ndakhala ndikungoyendayenda ndi kumangozungulira mʼdzikoli.” Pamenepo Yehova anati kwa Satana, “Kodi unalingalirapo za mtumiki wanga Yobu? Palibe wina pa dziko lapansi wofanana naye; ndi munthu wosalakwa ndi wolungama mtima, munthu amene amaopa Mulungu ndi kupewa zoyipa. Ndipo iye akanalibe wangwiro, ngakhale iwe unandiwumiriza kuti ndikulole kuti umuvutitse popanda chifukwa.” Satana anayankha kuti, “Iye ayesedwe mʼthupi mwake. Munthu angathe kupereka zonse ali nazo malingana iyeyo ali ndi moyo. Koma tatambasulani dzanja lanu ndi kuwononga thupi lake, ndipo iyeyo adzakutukwanani ndithu pamaso panu.” Yehova anati kwa Satana, “Chabwino, iye ali mʼmanja mwako; koma moyo wake usawuchotse.” Choncho Satana anachoka pamaso pa Yehova napita kukazunza Yobu ndi zilonda zaululu pa thupi lake lonse.

Anapereka nsembe ana awo aamuna ndi ana awo aakazi kwa ziwanda. Anakhetsa magazi a anthu osalakwa, magazi a ana awo aamuna ndi a ana awo aakazi, amene anawapereka nsembe kwa mafano a ku Kanaani, ndipo dziko linayipitsidwa ndi magazi awo.

Ku manda kwatekeseka kuti akulandire ukamabwera; mizimu ya anthu akufa, aja amene anali atsogoleri a dziko lapansi, yadzutsidwa. Onse amene anali mafumu a mitundu ya anthu ayimiritsidwa pa mipando yawo. Onse adzayankha; adzanena kwa iwe kuti, “Iwenso watheratu mphamvu ngati ife; Iwe wafanana ndi ife.” Ulemerero wako wonse walowa mʼmanda, pamodzi ndi nyimbo za azeze ako; mphutsi zayalana pogona pako ndipo chofunda chako ndi nyongolotsi.

Wagwa pansi bwanji kuchoka kumwamba, iwe nthanda, mwana wa mʼbandakucha! Wagwetsedwa pansi pa dziko lapansi, Iwe amene unagonjetsapo mitundu ya anthu! Mu mtima mwako unkanena kuti, “Ndidzakwera mpaka kumwamba; ndidzakhazika mpando wanga waufumu pamwamba pa nyenyezi za Mulungu; ndidzakhala pa mpando waufumu pa phiri losonkhanirako, pamwamba penipeni pa phiri la kumpoto. Ndidzakwera pamwamba pa mitambo; ndidzafanana ndi Wammwambamwamba.” Koma watsitsidwa mʼmanda pansi penipeni pa dzenje.

Anthu akufa adzakupenyetsetsa nadzamalingalira za iwe nʼkumati, “Kodi uyu ndi munthu uja anagwedeza dziko lapansi ndi kunjenjemeretsa maufumu, munthu amene anasandutsa dziko lonse chipululu, amene anagwetsa mizinda yake ndipo sankalola kuti anthu ogwidwa abwerere kwawo?”

Musakondwere inu Afilisti nonse kuti Asiriya amene anali ngati ndodo yokukanthani anathedwa; chifukwa kuchokera ku njoka yomweyi (mfumu ya Aasiriya) mudzatuluka mphiri, ndipo chipatso chake chidzakhala njoka yaliwiro ndiponso yaululu.

Tsiku limenelo, Yehova ndi lupanga lake lakuthwa, lalikulu ndi lamphamvu, adzalanga Leviyatani chinjoka chothawa chija, Leviyatani chinjoka chodzikulunga; adzapha chirombo choopsa cha mʼnyanja.

Uthenga wonena za nyama za ku Negevi: Akazembe akuyenda mʼdziko lovuta ndi losautsa, mʼmene muli mikango yayimuna ndi yayikazi, mphiri ndi njoka zaululu. Iwo amasenzetsa abulu ndi ngamira chuma chawo, kupita nazo kwa mtundu wa anthu umene sungawathandize.

“Lengeza ndi kulalika pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina, kweza mbendera ndipo ulengeze; usabise kanthu, koma uwawuze kuti, ‘Babuloni wagwa; mulungu wawo Beli wachititsidwa manyazi, nayenso Mariduku wagwidwa ndi mantha. Milungu yake yagwidwa ndi mantha ndipo mafano ake adzagwidwa ndi mantha.’

“Iwe mwana wa munthu, imba nyimbo yodandaulira mfumu ya Turo ndipo uyiwuze mawu a Ine Ambuye Yehova akuti, “ ‘Iwe unali chitsanzo cha ungwiro weniweni, wodzaza ndi nzeru ndi wokongola kwambiri. Iwe unkakhala ngati mu Edeni, munda wa Mulungu. Miyala yokongola ya mitundu yonse: rubi, topazi ndi dayimondi, kirisoliti, onikisi, yasipa, safiro, kalineliyoni ndi berili ndiwo inali zofunda zako. Ndipo zoyikamo miyalayo zinali zagolide. Anakupangira zonsezi pa tsiku limene unalengedwa. Ndinayika kerubi kuti azikulondera. Unkakhala pa phiri langa lopatulika, ndipo unkayendayenda pakati pa miyala ya moto. Makhalidwe ako anali abwino kuyambira pamene unalengedwa mpaka nthawi imene unayamba kuchita zoyipa.

Unatanganidwa ndi zamalonda. Zotsatira zake zinali zoti unachulukitsa zandewu ndi kumachimwa. Choncho ndinakuchotsa ku phiri langa lopatulika. Mkerubi amene ankakulondera uja anakupirikitsa kukuchotsa ku miyala yamoto. Unkadzikuza mu mtima mwako chifukwa cha kukongola kwako, ndipo unayipitsa nzeru zako chifukwa chofuna kutchuka. Kotero Ine ndinakugwetsa pansi kuti ukhala chenjezo pamaso pa mafumu. Ndi malonda ako achinyengo unachulukitsa machimo ako. Motero unayipitsa malo ako achipembedzo. Choncho ndinabutsa moto pakati pako, ndipo unakupsereza, ndipo unasanduka phulusa pa dziko lapansi pamaso pa anthu onse amene amakuona. Anthu onse amitundu amene ankakudziwa akuchita mantha chifukwa cha iwe. Watheratu mochititsa mantha ndipo sudzakhalaponso mpaka muyaya.’ ”

Ndipo iye anapitiriza nati, “Usachite mantha Danieli. Kuyambira tsiku loyamba pamene unatsimikiza mtima kuti umvetse zinthuzi ndi kudzichepetsa pamaso pa Mulungu wako, pempho lako linamveka ndipo ndabwera kudzayankha mapemphero akowo. Koma mtsogoleri wa ufumu wa Peresiya ananditchingira pa masiku 21, kenaka Mikayeli, mmodzi mwa angelo akuluakulu anadza kudzandithandiza chifukwa ndinakhala komweko ndi mafumu a ku Peresiya.

Ndipo iye anati, “Kodi ukudziwa chifukwa chimene ndabwerera kwa iwe? Ndiyamba ndabwerera kukamenyana ndi mtsogoleri wa ufumu wa Peresiya, ndipo ndikakanthana naye, kenaka mtsogoleri wa ufumu wa Grisi adzabwera. Koma ndikuwuza zimene zalembedwa mʼbuku la zoona koma palibe wondithandiza kulimbana nawo kupatula Mikayeli, kalonga wako.”

Pamenepo anandionetsa Yoswa, mkulu wa ansembe, atayima pamaso pa mngelo wa Yehova, ndipo Satana anayima ku dzanja lake lamanja kuti atsutsane naye. Yehova anawuza Satana kuti, “Yehova akukudzudzula iwe Satana! Yehova amene wasankha Yerusalemu akukudzudzula! Kodi munthu uyu sali ngati chikuni choyaka chofumula pa moto?”

“Pa tsiku limenelo, ndidzafafaniziratu mayina a mafano mʼdziko, ndipo sadzawakumbukiranso,” akutero Yehova Wamphamvuzonse. “Ndidzachotsa mʼdziko aneneri pamodzi ndi mzimu wonyansa.

Pambuyo pake Yesu anatsogozedwa ndi Mzimu Woyera kupita ku chipululu kukayesedwa ndi mdierekezi. Ndipo atasala kudya masiku makumi anayi usana ndi usiku, anamva njala. Woyesayo anadza kwa Iye nati, “Ngati ndinu mwana wa Mulungu, sandutsani miyala iyi kuti ikhale buledi.” Yesu anayankha kuti, “Zalembedwa, ‘Munthu sadzakhala ndi moyo ndi chakudya chokha, koma ndi mawu aliwonse ochokera mʼkamwa mwa Mulungu.’ ” Pamenepo mdierekezi anapita naye ku mzinda woyera namuyimiritsa pamwamba penipeni pa Nyumba ya Mulungu. Ndipo anati, “Ngati ndinu Mwana wa Mulungu, dziponyeni nokha pansi. Pakuti kwalembedwa: “ ‘Adzalamulira angelo ake za iwe, ndipo adzakunyamula ndi manja awo kuti phazi lako lisagunde pa mwala.’ ” Yesu anamuyankha kuti, “Kwalembedwanso: ‘Musamuyese Yehova Mulungu wanu.’ ” Kenaka mdierekezi anamutengera Yesu ku phiri lalitali kwambiri namuonetsa maufumu onse a dziko lapansi ndi ulemerero wawo. Ndipo anati kwa Iye, “Zonsezi ndidzakupatsani ngati mutandiweramira ndi kundipembedza ine.” Yesu anati kwa iye, “Choka Satana! Zalembedwa, ‘Pembedza Yehova Mulungu wako ndi kumutumikira Iye yekha.’ ” Pamenepo mdierekezi anamusiya ndipo angelo anamutumikira Iye.

Mbiri yake yonse inawanda ku Siriya konse ndipo anthu anabweretsa kwa Iye onse amene anali odwala nthenda zosiyanasiyana, womva maululu aakulu, ogwidwa ndi ziwanda, odwala matenda akugwa ndi olumala ndipo Iye anawachiritsa.

“Si munthu aliyense amene amanena kwa Ine, ‘Ambuye, Ambuye,’ adzalowe mu ufumu wakumwamba, koma ndi yekhayo amene amachita chifuniro cha Atate anga amene ali kumwamba. Ambiri adzati kwa Ine pa tsikulo, ‘Ambuye, Ambuye, kodi sitinkanenera mʼdzina lanu ndi mʼdzina lanunso tinkatulutsa ziwanda ndi kuchita zodabwitsa zambiri?’ Pamenepo ndidzawawuza momveka bwino kuti, ‘Sindinakudziweni inu. Chokani kwa Ine, inu ochita zoyipa!’

Itafika nthawi yamadzulo, anthu anabweretsa kwa Iye anthu ambiri ogwidwa ndi ziwanda ndipo anatulutsa ziwandazo ndi mawu okha, nachiritsa odwala onse.

Ndipo atafika ku mbali ina ya dera la Gadara, anakumana ndi anthu awiri ogwidwa ndi ziwanda akuchokera ku manda. Iwowa anali woopsa kwambiri kotero kuti panalibe munthu akanatha kudzera njira imeneyo. Ndipo iwo anafuwulira kwa Yesu nati, “Mukufuna chiyani kwa ife, Inu Mwana wa Mulungu? Kodi mwabwera kuno kudzatizunza nthawi yake isanafike?” Ndipo patali pake panali gulu la nkhumba zimene zimadya. Ndipo ziwandazo zinamupempha Yesu kuti, “Ngati mutitulutsa ife mutitumize mu nkhumba izo.” Iye anati kwa ziwandazo, “Pitani!” Ndipo pamenepo zinatuluka ndi kukalowa mʼnkhumbazo ndipo nkhumba zonse zinathamangira mʼnyanja ndi kufera momwemo. Koma amene amaziweta anathawa nalowa mʼmudzi nafotokoza zonse, kuphatikizapo zimene zinachitika ndi anthu ogwidwa ndi ziwanda aja.

Pamene iwo ankatuluka kunja, anthu anabwera kwa Iye ndi munthu wogwidwa ndi mzimu wosayankhula. Ndipo atatulutsa mzimuwo, munthuyo anayankhula. Gulu la anthuwo linadabwa ndipo linati, “Zinthu zotere sizinaonekepo mu Israeli.” Koma Afarisi anati, “Akutulutsa mizimu yoyipa ndi mphamvu ya mkulu wa ziwanda.”

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.

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

Koma Afarisi atamva zimenezi, anati, “Uyu amatulutsa ziwanda ndi mphamvu ya Belezebabu mkulu wa ziwandazo.” Yesu anadziwa maganizo awo ndipo anawawuza kuti, “Ufumu uliwonse ukagawanika mwa iwo udzawonongeka ndi mzinda uliwonse kapena banja likagawanika, mwa izo zokha sizidzayima. Ngati Satana atulutsa Satana, iye adzigawa yekha. Nanga ufumu wake ungayime bwanji? Ndipo ngati Ine nditulutsa ziwanda ndi Belezebule, anthu anu amatulutsa ziwandazo ndi chiyani? Potero tsono adzakhala oweruza anu. Koma ngati Ine ndimatulutsa ziwanda ndi Mzimu wa Mulungu, pamenepo ufumu wa Mulungu wafika pa inu. “Kapenanso wina aliyense angathe bwanji kulowa mʼnyumba ya munthu wamphamvu ndi kunyamulamo zinthu zake, sipokhapo atayamba wamanga munthu wa mphamvuyo? Pamenepo iye akhoza kuba mʼnyumbamo. “Iye amene sali ndi Ine atsutsana nane ndipo iye amene sasonkhanitsa pamodzi ndi Ine amamwaza. Ndipo potero Ine ndikuwuzani inu, tchimo lililonse ndi cha mwano chilichonse zidzakhululukidwa kwa anthu koma chamwano cha pa Mzimu Woyera, sichidzakhululukidwa. Aliyense amene anena mawu otsutsana ndi Mwana wa Munthu adzakhululukidwa koma aliyense wonena motsutsana ndi Mzimu Woyera sadzakhululukidwa mu mʼbado uno kapena umene ukubwerawo.

“Pamene mzimu woyipa utuluka mwa munthu, umadutsa malo wopanda madzi kufunafuna malo opumulira ndipo suwapeza. Pamenepo umati, ‘Ndidzabwerera ku nyumba yanga komwe ndinatuluka.’ Pamene ufika, upeza mopanda kanthu, mosesedwa ndi mokonzedwa bwino. Kenaka umapita kukatenga mizimu ina isanu ndi iwiri yoyipa kwambiri kuposa uwowo ndipo imapita ndi kukakhala mʼmenemo. Choncho khalidwe lotsiriza la munthu uyu limakhala loyipa kwambiri kuposa loyambalo. Umo ndi mmene zidzakhalire ndi mʼbado oyipawu.”

Pamene aliyense akumva uthenga wa ufumu koma sawuzindikira, woyipayo amabwera ndi kuchotsa zimene zafesedwa mu mtima mwake. Iyi ndi mbewu yofesedwa mʼmbali mwa njira.

Yesu anawawuza fanizo lina kuti: “Ufumu wakumwamba ufanana ndi munthu amene anafesa mbewu zabwino mʼmunda mwake. Koma aliyense akugona usiku mdani wake anabwera ndi kufesa namsongole pakati pa tirigu ndipo anachoka. Pamene tirigu anamera ndi kutulutsa ngala, namsongole anaonekanso. “Antchito ake anabwera kwa iye ndi kuti, ‘Bwana, kodi simunafese mbewu zabwino mʼmunda mwanu? Nanga namsongole wachokera kuti?’ “Iye anayankha kuti, ‘Ndi mdani amene anachita izi.’ “Antchito anamufunsa iye kuti, ‘Kodi mufuna kuti tipite tikamuzule?’

Munda ndi dziko lapansi ndipo mbewu yabwino ndi ana a ufumu. Namsongole ndi ana a woyipayo. Ndipo amene anafesa namsongole ndi Satana. Kukolola ndiko kutha kwa dzikoli ndipo otuta ndi angelo. “Monga momwe namsongole azulidwa ndi kutenthedwa ndi moto, momwemonso kudzakhala pakutha kwa dziko.

Ine ndidzakupatsa makiyi a Ufumu wakumwamba, ndipo chilichonse chimene iwe udzachimanga pansi pano chidzamangidwanso kumwamba.”

Kuyambira nthawi imeneyo Yesu anayamba kuwafotokozera ophunzira ake kuti Iye ayenera kupita ku Yerusalemu ndi kukazunzidwa kwambiri mʼmanja mwa akulu a ansembe ndi aphunzitsi amalamulo kuti ayenera kuphedwa, ndi kuti tsiku lachitatu adzaukitsidwa. Petro anamutengera Iye pambali nayamba kumudzudzula kuti, “Dzichitireni chifundo Ambuye, sizingachitike kwa Inu ayi.” Yesu anatembenuka nati kwa Petro, “Choka pamaso panga Satana! Iwe ndi chokhumudwitsa kwa Ine; iwe suganizira zinthu za Mulungu koma zinthu za anthu.”

Iye anati, “Ambuye, muchitireni chifundo mwana wanga akudwala matenda akugwa ndipo akuvutika kwambiri. Kawirikawiri iye amagwa pa moto kapena mʼmadzi. Ine ndinabwera naye kwa ophunzira anu koma alephera kumuchiritsa.” Yesu anayankha nati, “Haa, mʼbado wosakhulupirira ndi wokhota maganizo! Kodi ndidzakhala nanu mpaka liti? Ndidzapirira nanu mpaka liti? Bwera nayeni kwa Ine mnyamatayo.” Yesu anadzudzula chiwandacho ndipo chinatuluka mwa mnyamatayo ndipo anachira nthawi yomweyo.

“Zoonadi, Ine ndikuwuzani kuti chilichonse chimene muchimanga pa dziko lapansi, chidzamangidwanso kumwamba, ndipo chilichonse chimene muchimasula pa dziko chidzamasulidwanso kumwamba.

“Njoka inu! Ana amamba! Mudzachithawa bwanji chilango cha gehena?

“Pamenepo adzanena kwa akumanzere kwake kuti, ‘Chokani kwa Ine, inu otembereredwa, pitani ku moto wosatha wokonzedwera mdierekezi ndi angelo ake.

ndipo anali mʼchipululumo masiku makumi anayi, akuyesedwa ndi Satana. Anali pakati pa nyama zakuthengo; ndipo angelo anamutumikira.

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

Madzulo omwewo dzuwa litalowa anthu anabweretsa kwa Yesu anthu onse odwala ndi ogwidwa ndi ziwanda. Anthu onse a mʼmudzimo anasonkhana pa khomo, Yesu anachiritsa ambiri amene anali ndi matenda osiyanasiyana, komanso anatulutsa ziwanda zambiri, ndipo sanalole kuti ziwandazo ziyankhule chifukwa zinkamudziwa Iye.

Potero anayendayenda mu Galileya, kulalikira mʼmasunagoge awo ndi kutulutsa ziwanda.

Nthawi iliyonse mizimu yoyipa ikamuona, imagwa pansi pamaso pake ndi kufuwula kuti, “Inu ndinu Mwana wa Mulungu!” Koma anayichenjeza mwamphamvu kuti isanene kuti Iye anali ndani.

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

Ndipo aphunzitsi amalamulo omwe anachokera ku Yerusalemu anati, “Iye wagwidwa ndi Belezebabu! Ndi ulamuliro wa mkulu wa ziwanda akutulutsa ziwanda.” Pamenepo Yesu anawayitana nawayankhula mʼmafanizo nati: “Kodi Satana angatulutse bwanji Satana? Ngati ufumu ugawanikana mwa iwo okha, ufumu umenewo sungakhalitse. Ngati nyumba igawanikana mwa iyo yokha, nyumba imeneyo singathe kuyima. Ndipo ngati Satana adzitsutsa yekha sangathe kuyima; ulamuliro wake watha. Kunena zoona, palibe munthu angalowe mʼnyumba ya munthu wamphamvu ndi kutenga katundu wake pokhapokha atayamba wamumanga munthu wamphamvuyo. Pamenepo akhoza kumubera. Ndikukuwuzani zoona kuti machimo onse ndi zamwano zonse za anthu zidzakhululukidwa, koma aliyense amene achitira mwano Mzimu Woyera sadzakhululukidwa pakuti wachita tchimo losatha.” Ananena izi chifukwa anati, “Ali ndi mzimu woyipa.”

Wofesa amafesa mawu. Anthu ena ali ngati mbewu za mʼmbali mwa njira, mʼmene mawu amafesedwamo. Akangowamva, Satana amabwera ndi kuchotsa mawu amene anafesedwa mwa iwo.

Yesu atatuluka mʼbwato, munthu amene anali ndi mzimu woyipa anachoka ku manda ndi kukumana naye. Munthuyu amakhala ku manda, ndipo panalibe amene akanatha kumumanganso ngakhale ndi unyolo. Pakuti nthawi zambiri akamumanga manja ndi miyendo amadula maunyolo ndi kudula zitsulo zimene zinali mʼmapazi ake. Panalibe amene anali ndi mphamvu yoti ndi kumugonjetsa. Usana ndi usiku ankakhala ku manda ndi kumapiri, akulira ndi kudzicheka ndi miyala. Ataona Yesu ali patali, anathamanga nagwa pa mawondo ake pamaso pake. Iye anafuwula kwambiri nati, “Mukufuna muchite nane chiyani, Yesu Mwana wa Mulungu Wammwambamwamba? Lumbirani kwa Mulungu kuti simundizunza!” Pakuti Yesu anati kwa iye, “Tuluka mwa munthuyu, iwe mzimu woyipa!” Ndipo Yesu anamufunsa iye, “Dzina lako ndani?” Iye anayankha kuti, “Dzina langa ndine Legiyo, pakuti tilipo ambiri.” Ndipo anamupempha Yesu mobwerezabwereza kuti asazitulutse mʼderalo. Gulu lalikulu la nkhumba limadya mʼmbali mwa phiri limene linali pafupi. Ziwandazo zinapempha Yesu kuti, “Titumizeni pakati pa nkhumbazo; ndipo mutilole tilowe mwa izo.” Iye anazipatsa chilolezo, ndipo mizimu yoyipayo inatuluka ndi kukalowa mu nkhumbazo. Gulu la nkhumba, zokwana pafupifupi 2,000 zinathamanga kutsetserekera ku nyanja ndipo zinamira. Omwe amaweta nkhumbazo anathawa ndi kukawuza anthu za izi mu mzinda ndi ku madera a ku midzi, ndipo anthu anapita kukaona zomwe zinachitika. Atafika kwa Yesu, anaona munthu amene anagwidwa ndi ziwanda zambiri uja atakhala pansi pomwepo, atavala, ndipo ali bwinobwino. Iwo anachita mantha. Amene anaona zimenezi anawuza anthu zomwe zinachitika kwa munthu wogwidwa ndi ziwandayo ndipo anawawuzanso za nkhumbazo. Ndipo anthu anayamba kumupempha Yesu kuti achoke mʼdera lawo. Yesu akulowa mʼbwato, munthu amene anagwidwa ndi ziwanda uja anamupempha kuti apite nawo. Yesu sanamulole, koma anati, “Pita kwanu ku banja lako ndipo ukawawuze zimene Ambuye wakuchitira, ndi chifundo chimene wakuchitira.”

Atayitana khumi ndi awiriwo, Iye anawatuma awiriawiri ndipo anawapatsa ulamuliro pa mizimu yoyipa.

Anatuluka kupita kukalalikira kuti anthu atembenuke mtima. Anatulutsa ziwanda zambiri ndi kudzoza mafuta odwala ambiri ndi kuwachiritsa.

Kunena zoona, amayi amene kamwana kawo kakakazi kanali kogwidwa ndi mzimu woyipa, atangomva za Iye, anabwera nagwada pa mapazi ake. Mayiyu anali Mhelene, wobadwira ku Fonisia wa ku Siriya. Anamupempha Yesu kuti atulutse chiwanda mwa mwana wake. Iye anamuwuza kuti, “Choyamba asiye ana adye zimene akuzifuna, pakuti si kwabwino kutenga buledi wa ana ndi kuponyera agalu awo.” Mayiyo anayankha kuti, “Inde Ambuye, koma ngakhale agalu amadya zomwe zimagwa pansi kuchokera pa tebulo la ana.” Ndipo Iye anamuwuza kuti, “Chifukwa cha yankholi, ukhoza kupita; chiwanda chachoka mwa mwana wako wamkazi.” Atapita kwawo anakapeza mwana wake aligone pa bedi, chiwanda chitatuluka.

Iye anayamba kuwaphunzitsa kuti, “Mwana wa Munthu ayenera kumva zowawa zambiri ndi kukanidwa ndi akulu a ansembe, ndi aphunzitsi a malamulo, ndi kuti ayenera kuphedwa ndipo patatha masiku atatu adzaukanso.” Izi anaziyankhula momveka bwino, ndipo Petro anamutengera pambali ndipo anayamba kumudzudzula. Koma Yesu atatembenuka ndi kuyangʼana ophunzira ake, anamudzudzula Petro nati, “Choka pamaso panga Satana! Suganizira zinthu za Mulungu koma za anthu.”

Munthu wina mʼgululo anayankha kuti, “Aphunzitsi, ndinakubweretserani mwana wanga wamwamuna, amene ndi ogwidwa ndi mzimu umene umamulepheretsa kuyankhula. Nthawi iliyonse ukamugwira umamugwetsa pansi. Amatuluka thovu kukamwa, amakukuta mano ake ndipo amawuma. Ndinapempha ophunzira anu kuti awutulutse mzimuwo, koma sanathe.” Yesu anayankha kuti, “Haa! Mʼbado osakhulupirira, kodi ndidzakhala nanu mpaka liti? Mubweretseni kwa Ine mnyamatayo.” Ndipo anamubweretsa kwa Iye. Mzimu woyipawo utaona Yesu, nthawi yomweyo unamukomola mnyamatayo. Anagwa pansi ndi kumagubuduka, ndi kuchita thovu kukamwa. Yesu anafunsa abambo a mnyamatayo kuti, “Kodi wakhala chotere nthawi yayitali bwanji?” Iye anayankha kuti, “Kuyambira ali wamngʼono, wakhala ukumuponya pa moto kapena mʼmadzi kuti umuphe. Koma ngati mungathe kuchita kanthu, tichitireni chifundo ndipo mutithandize.” Yesu anati, “ ‘Ngati mungathe!’ Zinthu zonse ndi zotheka kwa iye amene akhulupirira.” Nthawi yomweyo abambo a mwanayo anafuwula kuti, “Ndikhulupirira; thandizani kusakhulupirira kwanga!” Yesu ataona kuti gulu la anthu likuthamangira kumalowo, anadzudzula mzimu woyipawo kuti, “Iwe mzimu wolepheretsa kuyankhula ndi kumva, ndikulamulira tuluka mwa iye ndipo usadzalowenso.” Mzimuwo unafuwula ndi kumugubuduza kwambiri ndipo unatuluka. Mnyamatayo anaoneka ngati mtembo ndipo ambiri anati, “Wafa.” Koma Yesu anamugwira dzanja ndipo anamuyimiritsa, ndipo anayimirira. Yesu atalowa mʼnyumba, ophunzira ake anamufunsa ali pa okha kuti, “Kodi ndi chifukwa chiyani ife sitinathe kutulutsa chiwandacho?” Iye anayankha kuti, “Mtundu uwu umatuluka pokhapokha mwapemphera ndi kusala kudya.”

Yesu atauka kwa akufa mmawa pa tsiku loyamba la Sabata, anayamba kuonekera kwa Mariya Magadalena, amene anatulutsa mwa iye ziwanda zisanu ndi ziwiri.

Aliyense amene akakhulupirire nabatizidwa adzapulumuka, koma amene sakakhulupirira adzalangidwa. Tsono zizindikiro izi zidzawatsata amene adzakhulupirira: Mʼdzina langa adzatulutsa ziwanda; adzayankhula malilime atsopano;

Yesu, wodzazidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera, anachoka ku mtsinje wa Yorodani ndipo anatsogozedwa ndi Mzimu Woyerayo kupita ku chipululu, kumene anayesedwa ndi mdierekezi masiku makumi anayi. Sanadye kena kalikonse pa masiku amenewo, ndipo pa mapeto pake anamva njala. Mdierekezi anati kwa Iye, “Ngati ndiwe Mwana wa Mulungu, uza mwala uwu kuti usanduke buledi.” Yesu anayankha kuti, “Zalembedwa: ‘Munthu sadzakhala ndi moyo ndi chakudya chokha.’ ” Mdierekezi anamutengera Iye pamalo aatali ndipo mʼkamphindi namuonetsa maufumu onse a dziko lapansi. Ndipo anati kwa Iye, “Ndidzakupatsani ulamuliro ndi ulemerero wawo; pakuti anandipatsa ine, ndipo ndingathe kupereka kwa aliyense amene ndikufuna. Ngati mutandilambira, zonsezi zidzakhala zanu.” Yesu anayankha kuti, “Zalembedwa: ‘Pembedza Yehova Mulungu wako ndi kumutumikira Iye yekha.’ ” Mdierekezi anapita naye ku Yerusalemu namuyimiritsa pamwamba penipeni pa Nyumba ya Mulungu. Ndipo anati, “Ngati ndinu Mwana wa Mulungu dziponyeni nokha pansi kuchokera pano. Pakuti kwalembedwa, “Adzalamulira angelo ake za iwe kuti akutchinjirize mosamala; ndipo adzakunyamula ndi manja awo, kuti phazi lako lisagunde pa mwala.” Yesu anayankha kuti, “Mawu akuti, ‘Musamuyese Yehova Mulungu wanu.’ ” Mdierekezi atamaliza mayesero awa onse, anamusiya Iye kufikira atapeza mpata wina.

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!”

Pamene dzuwa linkalowa, anthu anabweretsa kwa Yesu onse amene anali ndi matenda osiyanasiyana, ndipo atasanjika manja ake pa aliyense, anachiritsidwa. Komanso ziwanda zinkatuluka mwa anthu ambiri, zikufuwula kuti, “Inu ndinu Mwana wa Mulungu!” Koma Iye anazidzudzula ndipo sanazilole kuyankhula chifukwa zimadziwa kuti Iye ndi Khristu.

Iwo anabwera kudzamvetsera ndi kuchiritsidwa ku matenda awo. Osautsidwa ndi mizimu yoyipa anachiritsidwa,

Pa nthawi yomweyo, Yesu anachiritsa ambiri amene ankavutika, odwala ndi amene anali mizimu yoyipa, ndiponso anapenyetsa anthu osaona.

komanso akazi ena amene anachiritsidwa ku mizimu yoyipa ndi matenda: Mariya, wotchedwa Magadalena, amene mwa iye munatuluka ziwanda zisanu ndi ziwiri;

“Tanthauzo la fanizoli ndi ili: Mbewu ndi mawu a Mulungu. Mbewu za mʼmbali mwa njira ndi anthu amene amamva mawu, ndipo kenaka mdierekezi amabwera ndi kuchotsa mawuwo mʼmitima mwawo kuti asakhulupirire ndi kupulumutsidwa.

Yesu ataponda pa mtunda, anakumana ndi munthu wogwidwa ndi ziwanda wochokera mu mzindawo. Kwa nthawi yayitali munthuyu sanavale zovala kapena kukhala mʼnyumba, koma amakhala ku manda. Iye ataona Yesu, anakuwa nagwa pa mapazi ake akufuwula kwambiri kuti, “Mukufuna chiyani ndi ine, Yesu Mwana wa Mulungu Wammwambamwamba? Ndikupemphani Inu, musandizunze ine!” Pakuti Yesu analamula mzimu woyipawo kuti utuluke mwa munthuyo. Kawirikawiri umamugwira iye, ndipo ngakhale anali womangidwa ndi unyolo dzanja ndi mwendo ndi kuti ankamuyangʼanira, koma amadula maunyolo akewo ndipo ziwanda zimamutengera kumalo a yekha. Yesu anamufunsa kuti, “Dzina lako ndani?” Iye anayankha kuti, “Legiyo,” chifukwa ziwanda zambiri zinalowa mwa iye. Ndipo ziwandazo zimamupempha mobwerezabwereza kuti asazitumize ku dzenje la mdima. Gulu lalikulu la nkhumba limadya pamenepo mʼmbali mwa phiri. Ziwandazo zinamupempha Yesu kuti azilole kuti zikalowe mu nkhumbazo ndipo Iye anazilola. Ziwanda zija zitatuluka mwa munthuyo, zinakalowa mwa nkhumbazo, ndipo gulu lonselo linathamangira ku mtsetse ndi kukalowa mʼnyanja ndi kumira. Oweta nkhumbazo ataona zimene zinachitikazo, anathamanga ndi kukanena izi mu mzinda ndi ku madera a ku midzi. Ndipo anthu anapita kukaona zimene zinachitika. Atafika kwa Yesu, anapeza munthu amene anatulutsidwa ziwanda uja atakhala pa mapazi a Yesu, atavala ndipo ali ndi nzeru zake; ndipo iwo anachita mantha. Amene anaona izi anawuza anthu mmene munthu wogwidwa ndi ziwandayo anachiritsidwira. Kenaka anthu onse a ku chigawo cha Gerasa anamupempha Yesu kuti achoke kwa iwo, chifukwa anadzazidwa ndi mantha. Choncho Iye analowa mʼbwato nachoka. Munthu amene anatulutsidwa ziwanda uja, anapempha Yesu kuti apite nawo, koma Yesu anamubweza nati, “Bwerera kwanu kafotokoze zimene Mulungu wakuchitira.” Ndipo munthuyo anachoka ndi kukanena ku mzinda wonsewo zimene Yesu anamuchitira iye.

Yesu atawayitana khumi ndi awiriwo pamodzi, Iye anawapatsa mphamvu ndi ulamuliro wotulutsa ziwanda zonse ndi kuchiritsa matenda.

Munthu wina mʼgulu la anthulo anayitana kuti, “Aphunzitsi, ndikupemphani kuti muone mwana wangayu, pakuti ndi mmodzi yekhayu. Chiwanda chikamugwira amafuwula mwadzidzidzi; chimamugwedeza kolimba mpaka kutuluka thovu kukamwa. Sichimusiya ndipo chikumuwononga. Ine ndinapempha ophunzira anu kuti achitulutse, koma alephera.” Yesu anayankha kuti, “Haa! Anthu osakhulupirira ndi mʼbado wokhota. Kodi Ine ndidzakhala nanu nthawi yayitali yotani ndi kukupirirani? Bweretsa mwana wako kuno.” Ngakhale pamene mnyamata amabwera kwa Yesu, chiwandacho chinamugwetsa pansi ndi kumugwedeza. Koma Yesu anadzudzula mzimu woyipawo nachiritsa mwa mnyamatayo ndi kumuperekanso kwa abambo ake. Ndipo iwo onse anadabwa ndi ukulu wa Mulungu. Aliyense akudabwa ndi zimene Yesu anachita, Iyeyo anati kwa ophunzira ake,

Anthu 72 aja anabwerera ndi chimwemwe ndipo anati, “Ambuye, ngakhale ziwanda zinatigonjera ife mʼdzina lanu.” Iye anayankha kuti, “Ndinaona Satana akugwa kuchokera kumwamba ngati mphenzi. Ine ndakupatsani ulamuliro woponda njoka ndi zinkhanira, ndi kugonjetsa mphamvu zonse za mdani; palibe chimene chidzakupwetekani. Komabe musakondwere chifukwa mizimu yoyipa inakugonjerani, koma kondwerani chifukwa mayina anu analembedwa kumwamba.”

Yesu amatulutsa chiwanda chimene chinali chosayankhula. Chiwandacho chitatuluka, munthu wosayankhulayo anayankhula, ndipo gulu la anthu linadabwa. Koma ena mwa iwo anati, “Iye akutulutsa ziwanda ndi mphamvu ya Belezebabu mfumu ya ziwanda.” Ena anamuyesa pomufunsa chizindikiro chochokera kumwamba. Yesu anadziwa maganizo awo ndipo anawawuza kuti, “Ufumu uliwonse wogawikana udzawonongeka, ndipo nyumba yogawikana idzapasuka. Ngati Satana adziwukira yekha, ufumu wake ungalimbe bwanji? Ine ndikunena izi chifukwa inu mukuti Ine ndimatulutsa ziwanda ndi mphamvu ya Belezebabu. Tsopano ngati Ine ndimatulutsa ziwanda ndi mphamvu ya Belezebabu, nanga ophunzira anu amazitulutsa ndi mphamvu ya ndani? Choncho, iwowo ndiye adzakhala oweruza anu. Koma ngati ndimatulutsa ziwanda ndi mphamvu ya Mulungu, ndiye kuti ufumu wa Mulungu wafika pakati panu.

“Munthu wamphamvu, amene ali ndi zida, akamalondera nyumba yake, katundu wake amatetezedwa. Koma pakabwera wina wamphamvu zoposa namugonjetsa, amalanda zida zimene munthuyo amazidalirazo ndi kugawa katundu wake. “Munthu amene sali mbali yanga ndi wotsutsana nane. Ndipo wosandithandiza kusonkhanitsa, ameneyo ndi womwaza. “Mzimu woyipa ukatuluka mwa munthu, umakayendayenda ku malo owuma, kufunafuna malo opumulirako ndipo suwapeza. Kenaka umati, ‘Ndibwerera ku nyumba kwanga kumene ndachokera.’ Ukafika umapeza mʼnyumba mosesedwa bwino ndi mokonza. Pamenepo umakatenga mizimu ina isanu ndi iwiri yoyipa kwambiri kuposa iwowo ndipo imakalowa ndi kukhala mʼmenemo. Ndipo makhalidwe otsiriza a munthuyo amakhala oyipa kuposa oyamba aja.”

ndipo momwemo munali mayi amene anali ndi mzimu woyipa umene unamudwalitsa zaka 18. Iye anali wokhota msana ndipo samatha kuweramuka ndi pangʼono pomwe.

Nanga mayiyu, amene ndi mwana wa Abrahamu, ndipo anamangidwa ndi Satana zaka 18, kodi siwoyenera kuti amasulidwe msinga imeneyi pa tsiku la Sabata?”

Kenaka Satana analowa mwa Yudasi, wotchedwa Isikarioti, mmodzi wa khumi ndi a iwiriwo. Ndipo Yudasi anapita kwa akulu a ansembe ndi akulu oyangʼanira Nyumba ya Mulungu ndi kukambirana nawo za mmene iye angaperekere Yesu.

“Simoni, Simoni, Satana wapempha kuti akupete ngati tirigu. Koma Ine ndakupempherera Simoni, kuti chikhulupiriro chako chisafowoke ndipo pamene udzabwerera kwa Ine, udzalimbikitse abale ako.”

Inu ndinu ana a mdierekezi. Iye ndiye abambo anu ndipo mukufuna kuchita zimene abambo anuwo amakhumba. Iye anali wakupha kuyambira pachiyambi, sanasunge choonadi, pakuti mwa iye mulibe choonadi. Pamene Iye anena bodza, amayankhula chiyankhulo chobadwa nacho, popeza ndi wabodza ndipo ndi bambo wa mabodza.

Pa mawu awa Ayuda anagawikananso. Ambiri a iwo anati, “Iye ndi wogwidwa ndi ziwanda ndi wamisala. Chifukwa chiyani mukumvera Iye?” Koma ena anati, “Awa si mawu a munthu wogwidwa ndi ziwanda. Kodi ziwanda zingathe bwanji kutsekula maso a wosaona?”

Atayamba kudya mgonero, mdierekezi anali atalowa kale mu mtima wa Yudasi Isikarioti mwana wa Simoni, kuti amupereke Yesu.

Yesu anayankha kuti, “Iye amene ndidzamupatsa buledi amene ndanyema ndikususa ndi ameneyo.” Kenaka, atasunsa gawo la buledi, Iye anapereka kwa Yudasi Isikarioti, mwana wa Simoni. Nthawi yomweyo Yudasi atangodya bulediyo, Satana analowa mwa Iye. Yesu anamuwuza Iye kuti, “Chomwe ukufuna kuchita, chita msanga.”

Koma Petro anamufunsa kuti, “Hananiya, chifukwa chiyani Satana anadzaza chotere mu mtima wako kuti unamize Mzimu Woyera ndipo wapatula ndi kusunga ndalama? Kodi sunali wako usanagulitse? Ndipo utagulitsa ndalamazo sizinali mʼmanja mwako kodi? Nʼchiyani chinakuchititsa zimenezi? Iwe sunanamize anthu koma Mulungu.”

Anthu ochuluka ochokera ku mizinda yayingʼono ozungulira Yerusalemu amasonkhananso atatenga odwala awo ndi iwo amene amasautsidwa ndi mizimu yoyipa ndipo onsewo amachiritsidwa.

Mizimu yoyipa inatuluka mwa anthu ambiri ikufuwula kwambiri ndipo ambiri amene anali akufa ziwalo ndi olumala anachiritsidwa.

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

Koma Elima wamatsengayo, (Elima tanthauzo lake ndi wamatsenga), anatsutsana nawo ndipo anafuna kumuletsa mkulu wa bomayo kuti asakhulupirire. Koma Saulo, amenenso amatchedwa Paulo, wodzazidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera anamuyangʼanitsitsa Elima ndipo anati, “Iwe ndiwe mwana wa mdierekezi ndiponso mdani wa chilungamo! Ndiwe wodzaza ndi chinyengo cha mtundu uliwonse ndi kuchenjera konse. Kodi sudzaleka kupotoza njira zolungama za Ambuye? Tsopano dzanja la Ambuye likukutsutsa iwe. Udzakhala wosaona ndipo kwa kanthawi sudzatha kuona kuwala kwa dzuwa.” Nthawi yomweyo khungu ndi mdima zinamugwera ndipo anafunafuna munthu woti amugwire dzanja kuti amutsogolere. Pamene mkulu wa bomayo anaona zimene zinachitika anakhulupirira pakuti anadabwa ndi chiphunzitso cha Ambuye.

Tsiku lina pamene timapita kumalo wopempherera, tinakumana ndi mtsikana wina amene anali ndi mzimu woyipa umene umanena zamʼtsogolo. Iye amapezera ndalama zambiri ambuye ake pa ulosi wake. Mtsikanayu anatsatira Paulo ndi ife, akufuwula kuti, “Anthu awa ndi atumiki a Mulungu Wammwambamwamba, amene akukuwuzani inu njira yachipulumutso.” Iye anachita izi masiku ambiri. Kenaka Paulo anavutika mu mtima, natembenuka ndipo anati kwa mzimuwo, “Ndikukulamula iwe mʼdzina la Yesu Khristu kuti utuluke mwa iye!” Nthawi yomweyo mzimuwo unatuluka. Pamene ambuye a mtsikana uja anazindikira kuti chiyembekezo chawo chopezera ndalama chatha, anagwira Paulo ndi Sila nawakokera ku bwalo la akulu.

Mulungu anachita zodabwitsa zapadera kudzera mwa Paulo. Kotero kuti mipango yopukutira thukuta ndi yovala pogwira ntchito, zomwe zinakhudza thupi la Paulo amapita nazo kwa odwala ndipo amachiritsidwa ndiponso mizimu yoyipa mwa iwo imatuluka.

Ayuda ena amene ankayendayenda kutulutsa mizimu yoyipa anayesa kugwiritsa ntchito dzina la Ambuye Yesu pa amene anali ndi ziwanda. Iwo popemphera amati, “Ine ndikulamulira utuluke, mʼdzina la Yesu amene Paulo amamulalikira.” Amene ankachita zimenezi anali ana asanu ndi awiri a Skeva, mkulu wa ansembe wa Chiyuda. Tsiku lina mzimu woyipa unawayankha kuti, “Yesu ndimamudziwa ndiponso Paulo ndimamudziwa, nanga inu ndinu ndani?” Pamenepo munthu amene anali ndi mzimu woyipa anawalumphira nawagwira onse. Iye anawamenya kwambiri, kotero kuti anathawa mʼnyumbamo ali maliseche, akutuluka magazi.

Ambiri amene amachita za matsenga anasonkhanitsa mabuku awo pamodzi nawatentha pamaso pa anthu onse. Atawonkhetsa mtengo wa mabukuwo, unakwanira ndalama zasiliva 50,000.

Ine ndidzakulanditsa mʼmanja mwa anthu a mtundu wako ndiponso mwa anthu a mitundu ina. Ine ndikukutuma kwa iwo, kuti ukatsekule maso awo kuti atembenuke mtima kuchoka ku mdima ndi kulowa mʼkuwala, kuchoka ku mphamvu za Satana ndi kupita kwa Mulungu, kuti alandire chikhululukiro cha machimo awo ndi kukhala mʼgulu la amene akuyeretsedwa chifukwa chokhulupirira Ine.

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

Ndipo yankho la Mulungu linali lotani? “Ine ndadzisungira ndekha anthu 7,000 amene sanapembedzepo Baala.”

Mulungu wamtendere adzaphwanya Satana msanga pansi pa mapazi anu. Chisomo cha Ambuye athu Yesu chikhale ndi inu.

mumupereke munthuyu kwa Satana, kuti chikhalidwe chake cha uchimo chiwonongedwe ndikuti mzimu wake udzapulumuke pa tsiku la Ambuye.

Musamakanizane, pokhapokha mutagwirizana awiri kuti mwakanthawi mudzipereke kumapemphero. Kenaka mukhalirenso pamodzi kuopa kuti Satana angakuyeseni chifukwa cholephera kudziretsa.

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. Kodi tikufuna kuwutsa mkwiyo wa Ambuye? Kodi ndife amphamvu kuposa Iye?

kupewa kuti Satana angapezere mpata pa ife, pajatu timadziwa machenjerero ake.

Koma ngakhale uthenga wathu wabwino utakhala wophimbika, ndi wophimbika kwa okhawo amene akutayika. Mulungu wa dziko lapansi anachititsa khungu anthu osakhulupirira, kuti asathe kuona kuwala kwa Uthenga Wabwino umene umaonetsa ulemerero wa Khristu, amene ndi chifaniziro cha Mulungu.

Pali mgwirizano wanji pakati pa Khristu ndi Beliyali? Kapena munthu wokhulupirira angayanjane bwanji ndi munthu wosakhulupirira?

Pakuti zida zathu zankhondo si zida za dziko lapansi. Koma ndi mphamvu zochokera kwa Mulungu zotha kugwetsa malinga. Timagonjetsa maganizo onse onyenga ndiponso kudzikuza kulikonse kolimbana ndi anthu kuti asadziwe Mulungu. Ndipo timagonjetsa ganizo lililonse kuti limvere Khristu.

Koma ndikuopa kuti monga Hava ananyengedwa ndi kuchenjera kwa njoka, mitima yanunso ingasocheretsedwe kuleka nʼkudzipereka moona mtima ndi modzipereka kwenikweni kwa Khristu.

Pakuti anthu oterewa ndi atumwi onama, antchito achinyengo, odzizimbayitsa ngati atumwi a Khristu. Sizododometsa zimenezi, pakuti Satana mwini amadzizimbayitsa kuoneka ngati mngelo wowunikira anthu. Nʼzosadabwitsa tsono ngati atumiki ake akudzizimbayitsa ngati otumikira chilungamo. Matsiriziro awo adzalandira zoyenerana ndi ntchito zawo.

kapena chifukwa cha mavumbulutso aakulu kuposa awa. Choncho, kuti ndisadzitukumule, ndinayikidwa minga mʼthupi langa, wamthenga wa Satana, kuti adzindizunza.

Anamukhazika pamwamba pa ulamuliro onse ndi mafumu, mphamvu ndi ufumu, ndiponso pamwamba pa dzina lililonse limene angalitchule, osati nthawi ino yokha komanso imene ikubwerayo.

mmene inu munkakhalamo pamene munkatsatira njira za dziko lapansi ndi za ulamuliro waufumu wa mlengalenga, mzimu umene ukugwira ntchito tsopano mwa amene samvera.

Cholinga chake tsopano nʼchakuti, kudzera mwa mpingo, mafumu ndi a ulamuliro onse a kumwamba adziwe nzeru zochuluka za Mulungu.

Kwiyani koma musachimwe. Dzuwa lisalowe mukanali chikwiyire. Musamupatse mpata Satana.

Valani zida zonse za Mulungu kuti muthe kuyima ndi kukana machenjerero a Satana. Pakuti sitikulimbana ndi thupi ndi magazi, koma tikulimbana ndi maufumu, maulamuliro, mphamvu za dziko la mdima, ndi mphamvu zoyipa kwambiri zauzimu zamlengalenga. Choncho valani zida zonse za Mulungu, kuti pamene tsiku loyipa kwambiri lifika, mudzathe kuyima chilili, ndipo mutatha kuchita zonse, mudzayimabe mwamphamvu.

Kuwonjezera pa zonsezi, nyamulani chishango cha chikhulupiriro, ndipo ndi chimenechi mudzatha kuzimitsa mivi yonse yoyaka moto ya oyipayo.

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

Pakuti ife tinafuna kubweranso kwa inu, makamaka ine Paulo, ndinayesa kangapo koma Satana anatiletsa.

Musalole kuti wina aliyense akunamizeni mwa njira ina iliyonse. Pakuti tsikulo lisanafike, kudzakhala mpatuko waukulu kwambiri, ndipo kudzaoneka munthu woyipitsitsa uja, munthu woyenera kuwonongedwayo. Iyeyo adzatsutsa ndi kudziyika pamwamba pa chilichonse chimene anthu amachitcha mulungu kapena amachipembedza. Iyeyo adzadzikhazika mʼNyumba ya Mulungu ndi kudzitcha Mulungu. Kodi simukukumbukira kuti pamene ndinali nanu pamodzi ndinkakuwuzani zimenezi? Ndipo tsopano mukudziwa chimene chikumuletsa kuonekera, koma adzawululika pa nthawi yake yoyenera. Pakuti mphamvu yobisika yoyipitsitsa ikugwira ntchito ngakhale tsopano; koma amene akutchinga mphamvuyo adzapitiriza kutero mpaka pamene wotchingayo adzachotsedwe. Ndipo kenaka woyipitsitsayo adzaonekera, amene Ambuye Yesu adzamugonjetsa ndi mpweya otuluka mʼkamwa mwake ndi kumuwononga ndi ulemerero wa kubwera kwake. Woyipitsitsayo adzabwera ndi mphamvu za Satana. Adzaonetsa mphamvu zake pochita zizindikiro ndi zodabwitsa zachinyengo. Iye adzagwiritsa ntchito mtundu uliwonse wachinyengo kupusitsa amene akuwonongeka. Iwo akuwonongeka chifukwa akukana kukonda choonadi ndi kuti apulumutsidwe.

Koma Ambuye ndi wokhulupirika, ndipo adzakulimbikitsani ndi kukutetezani kwa woyipayo.

Ena mwa amenewa ndi Humenayo ndi Alekisandro, amene ndinawapereka kwa Satana kuti aphunzire kusachita chipongwe 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.

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

Akazi amasiye ena apatuka kale nʼkumatsatira Satana.

Pakuti Mzimu amene Mulungu anatipatsa, si Mzimu wotipatsa manyazi, koma Mzimu wotipatsa mphamvu, chikondi ndi kudzisunga.

Motero nzeru zawo zidzabweramo, ndipo adzathawa msampha wa mdierekezi, amene anawagwira ukapolo kuti azichita zofuna zake.

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.

Mumakhulupirira kuti kuli Mulungu mmodzi yekha. Mumachita bwino. Komatu ngakhale ziwanda zimakhulupirira zimenezi ndipo zimanjenjemera ndi mantha.

Koma ngati muli ndi mtima wakaduka ndi odzikonda, musadzitamandire kapena kukana choonadi. “Nzeru” zotere sizochokera kumwamba koma ndi za mʼdziko lapansi, si zauzimu koma ndi za ziwanda.

Dziperekeni nokha kwa Mulungu. Mukaneni Mdierekezi ndipo adzakuthawani.

Khalani odziretsa ndi atcheru. Mdani wanu mdierekezi amayendayenda monga mkango wobangula kufunafuna wina kuti amumeze.

Pakuti Mulungu sanalekerere angelo atachimwa paja, koma anawaponya mʼndende, nawayika mʼmaenje amdima, kuwasunga kuti adzaweruzidwe.

Ana anga, ino ndi nthawi yotsiriza, ndipo monga munamva kale kuti anthu okana Khristu akubwera, ngakhale tsopano okana Khristu ambiri afika kale. Zimenezi zikutisonyeza kuti ino ndi nthawi yotsiriza. 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. Koma inu muli ndi kudzoza kochokera kwa Woyerayo, ndipo nonsenu mukudziwa choonadi. Sindikukulemberani chifukwa choti simudziwa choonadi ayi, koma chifukwa choti mumadziwa choonadicho, ndipo mukudziwanso kuti bodza silichokera pa choonadi. Wabodzayo ndani? Ndi munthu aliyense amene amanena kuti Yesu si Mpulumutsi. Munthu woteroyo ndi wokana Khristu, ndiponso amakana Atate, ndi Mwana.

Iye amene amachimwa ndi wa Satana, chifukwa mdierekezi wakhala akuchimwa kuyambira pa chiyambi. Mwana wa Mulungu anaonekera kuti awononge ntchito za mdierekezi. 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.

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

Mungathe kuzindikira Mzimu wa Mulungu motere: Mzimu uliwonse umene umavomereza kuti Yesu Khristu anabwera mʼthupi, ndi wochokera kwa Mulungu, koma mzimu uliwonse umene suvomereza Yesu, siwochokera kwa Mulungu. Uwu ndi mzimu wa wokana Khristu umene munawumva kuti ukubwera ndipo ngakhale tsopano wabwera kale mʼdziko lapansi.

Tikudziwa kuti ndife ana a Mulungu ndi kuti dziko lonse lapansi lili pansi pa ulamuliro wa woyipayo.

Ndikunena zimenezi chifukwa anthu ambiri onyenga, amene savomereza kuti Yesu Khristu anabwera monga munthu, akuyenda mʼdziko lapansi. Munthu aliyense otere ndi wonyenga ndiponso wokana Khristu. Chenjerani kuti mungataye chimene mwagwirira ntchito, koma chitani khama kuti mukalandire mphotho yanu yonse. 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.

Ndipo mukumbukire angelo amene sanakhutire ndi maudindo awo, koma anasiya malo awo. Angelo amenewa Mulungu anawamanga ndi maunyolo osatha, ndipo akuwasunga mʼmalo a mdima mpaka tsiku lalikulu lachiweruzo.

Koma ngakhale mkulu wa angelo Mikayeli, pamene ankalimbana ndi Mdierekezi za mtembo wa Mose, sanamunene kuti wachipongwe, koma anati, “Ambuye akudzudzule iwe!”

Ine ndimadziwa masautso ako ndi umphawi wako, chonsecho ndiwe wolemera! Ndikudziwa zimene amakusinjirira anthu amene amati ndi Ayuda pamene sizili choncho, koma ndi a mpingo wa Satana. Musachite mantha ndi zimene muti musauke nazo posachedwapa. Ndithu, Satana adzayika ena a inu mʼndende pofuna kukuyesani, ndipo mudzazunzika kwa masiku khumi. Khalani okhulupirika ngakhale zitafika pa imfa, ndipo Ine ndidzakupatsani chipewa cha ulemerero wamoyo.

Iye akuti, ‘Ine ndimadziwa kumene mumakhala, kumene kuli mpando waufumu wa Satana. Komabe inu ndinu okhulupirika kwa Ine. Simunataye chikhulupiriro chanu pa Ine, ngakhale mʼmasiku a Antipa, mboni yanga yokhulupirika, amene anaphedwa mu mzinda wanu, kumene amakhala Satana.

Tsopano ndikunena kwa enanu a ku Tiyatira, kwa inu amene simunatsate chiphunzitso cha mkaziyo ndipo simunaphunzire zimene iwo amati ndi ‘zinsinsi zonama’ za Satana. Kwa inu mawu anga ndi akuti sindikuwunjikirani malamulo ena.

Amene ndi mpingo wa Satana, amene amadzitcha kuti ndi Ayuda pamene sali choncho, koma ndi onama, ndidzawabweretsa kwa inu ndi kuwagwetsa pansi pa mapazi anu kuti adzazindikire kuti ndimakukondani.

Mngelo wachisanu anayimba lipenga lake, ndipo ndinaona nyenyezi ikugwa pa dziko lapansi kuchokera ku thambo. Nyenyeziyo inapatsidwa kiyi ya ku chidzenje chakuya. Nyenyeziyo itatsekula pa chidzenje chakuyacho panatuluka utsi ngati wochokera mʼngʼanjo yayikulu. Dzuwa ndi thambo zinada chifukwa cha utsi ochokera mʼdzenjemo. Ndipo mʼkati mwa utsimo munatuluka dzombe kukalowa mʼdziko lapansi ndipo linapatsidwa mphamvu zoluma ngati za zinkhanira pa dziko lapansi. Dzombelo linalamulidwa kuti lisawononge udzu wa pa dziko lapansi, kapena chomera chilichonse, kapena mtengo uliwonse, koma anthu okhawo amene analibe chizindikiro cha Mulungu pa mphumi zawo. Silinapatsidwe mphamvu yowapha koma yowazunza kwa miyezi isanu. Ndipo ululu umene anthuwo anawumva unali ngati wa chinkhanira chikaluma munthu. Masiku amenewo anthu adzafunafuna imfa koma sadzayipeza. Adzalakalaka kufa koma imfa izidzawathawa. Dzombe linkaoneka ngati akavalo okonzekera nkhondo. Pamitu pawo panali ngati zipewa zaufumu zagolide ndipo nkhope zawo ngati za anthu. Tsitsi lawo linali ngati la amayi, mano awo ngati a mikango. Dzombelo linavala za pachifuwa zachitsulo. Phokoso la mapiko awo linali ngati phokoso la magaleta ankhondo ambiri okokedwa ndi akavalo othamangira ku nkhondo. Linali ndi michira ngati zinkhanira ndi mbola. Mʼmichira yake munali mphamvu yozunza nayo anthu kwa miyezi isanu. Mfumu yawo inali mngelo wolamulira Chidzenje chakuya chija. Mʼchihebri dzina lake ndi Abadoni ndipo mʼChigriki ndi Apoliyoni (tanthauzo lake ndiye kuti, Wowononga).

Anthu ena onse amene sanaphedwe ndi miliri imeneyi sanalapebe kuti asiye ntchito zawo zoyipa. Iwo sanasiye kupembedza ziwanda ndi mafano agolide, asiliva, amkuwa, amwala ndi amtengo, mafano amene sangathe kuona, kumva kapena kuyankhula.

Tsono zikadzatsiriza umboni wawowo, chirombo chotuluka mʼChidzenje chakuya chija chidzachita nawo nkhondo nʼkuzigonjetsa mpaka kuzipha.

Kenaka ku thambo kunaonekanso chizindikiro china; chinjoka chachikulu kwambiri, chofiira chomwe chinali ndi mitu isanu ndi iwiri ndi nyanga khumi; pamutu uliwonse chitavala chipewa chaufumu. Mchira wake unakokolola gawo limodzi la magawo atatu a nyenyezi kuzichotsa ku thambo ndi kuziponya pa dziko lapansi. Chinjoka chija chinadzayima patsogolo pa mayi uja amene anali pafupi kuberekayu kuti mwanayo akangobadwa chimudye.

Zitatero, kumwamba kunayambika nkhondo. Mikayeli ndi angelo ake kumenyana ndi chinjoka chija. Chinjokacho ndi angelo ake anabwezeranso. Koma analibe mphamvu ndipo anagonjetsedwa nathamangitsidwa kumwambako. Chinjoka chachikulu chija chinagwetsedwa pansi. Ichocho ndiye njoka yakalekale ija yotchedwa Mdierekezi kapena Satana, amene amasocheretsa anthu a pa dziko lonse lapansi. Chinaponyedwa pa dziko la pansi pamodzi ndi angelo ake. Kenaka ndinamva mawu ofuwula kumwamba akunena kuti, “Tsopano chipulumutso, mphamvu, ufumu wa Mulungu wathu ndi ulamuliro wa Khristu wake zabwera. Pakuti woneneza abale athu uja, amene amangokhalira kuwaneneza pamaso pa Mulungu usana ndi usiku, wagwetsedwa pansi. Abale athuwo anamugonjetsa ndi magazi a Mwana Wankhosa ndiponso mawu a umboni wawo. Iwo anadzipereka kwathunthu, moti sanakonde miyoyo yawo. Choncho, kondwerani, inu dziko lakumwamba ndi onse okhala kumeneko! Koma tsoka dziko lapansi ndi nyanja chifukwa Mdierekezi wagwetsedwa kwa inu! Iye wadzazidwa ndi ukali chifukwa akudziwa kuti nthawi yake ndi yochepa.”

Pamene chinjokacho chinaona kuti chagwetsedwa pa dziko lapansi, chinayamba kuthamangitsa mayi uja amene anali atabala mwana wamwamunayu. Mayiyo anapatsidwa mapiko awiri a chiwombankhanga chachikulu kuti athawire ku malo ake aja a ku chipululu. Kumeneko adzasamalidwako zaka zitatu ndi theka kuti chinjoka chija chisamupeze. Kenaka chinjoka chija chinalavulira mayiyo madzi ambiri ngati mtsinje, kuti madziwo amukokolole. Koma dziko lapansi linamuthandiza mayiyo. Nthaka inatsekuka ndi kumeza mtsinje uja unachokera mʼkamwa mwa chinjokacho. Pamenepo chinjokacho chinamupsera mtima mayiyo ndipo chinachoka kupita kukachita nkhondo ndi ana ena onse a mayiyo, ndiye kuti anthu amene anasunga malamulo a Mulungu ndi kuchitira umboni za Yesu. Kenaka ndinaona chinjokacho chitayima mʼmbali mwa nyanja.

Ndipo ndinaona chirombo chikutuluka mʼnyanja. Chinali ndi nyanga khumi ndi mitu isanu ndi iwiri. Pa nyanga iliyonse chinavala chipewa chaufumu, ndipo pa mutu uliwonse panali dzina lonyoza Mulungu. Chirombo chimene ndinachionacho chinali ngati kambuku, mapazi ake ngati chimbalangondo, kukamwa kwake ngati kwa mkango. Chinjoka chija chinapatsa chirombocho mphamvu zake, mpando wake waufumu ndiponso ulamuliro waukulu. Umodzi wa mitu wa chirombocho unkaoneka ngati uli ndi bala losati nʼkupola, koma nʼkuti balalo litapola. Dziko lonse linadabwa ndipo linatsatira chirombocho. Anthu anapembedza chinjoka chija chifukwa chinapereka ulamuliro wake kwa chirombocho. Nachonso chirombo chija anachipembedza nʼkumafunsa kuti, “Ndani angafanane ndi chirombochi? Ndani angachite nacho nkhondo?” Chirombo chija chinaloledwa kuyankhula mawu onyada ndi achipongwe kwa Mulungu. Chinapatsidwa mphamvu zolamulira pa miyezi 42. Ndipo chinayamba kuyankhula mawu achipongwe onyoza Mulungu, dzina lake, malo okhalamo ndi onse amene amakhala kumwamba. Chinaloledwa kuchita nkhondo ndi oyera mtima ndi kuwagonjetsa. Ndipo chinapatsidwanso mphamvu zolamulira anthu a fuko lililonse, mtundu uliwonse ndi chiyankhulo chilichonse. Anthu onse okhala pa dziko lapansi adzapembedza chirombocho, aliyense amene chilengedwere cha dziko lapansi dzina lake silinalembedwe mʼbuku la amoyo la Mwana Wankhosa anaphedwa uja. Iye amene ali ndi makutu, amve. “Woyenera kupita ku ukapolo, adzapita ku ukapolo. Woyenera kufa ndi lupanga, adzafa ndi lupanga.” Pamenepa kwa anthu a Mulungu pakufunika kupirira ndi kukhulupirika.

Kenaka ndinaona chirombo china chikutuluka mʼnthaka. Chinali ndi nyanga ziwiri ngati mwana wankhosa koma kuyankhula kwake ngati chinjoka. Chinalamulira ndi mphamvu zonse za chirombo choyamba chija, ndipo chinachititsa kuti dziko lapansi ndi anthu okhalamo alambire chirombo choyamba chija, chimene bala lake losati nʼkupola linali litapola. Ndipo chinachita zizindikiro zazikulu zodabwitsa, mpaka kumagwetsa moto pa dziko lapansi kuchokera kumwamba anthu akuona. Chifukwa cha zizindikiro zimene chinaloledwa kuchita mʼmalo mwa chirombo choyamba chija, chimene bala lake linapola, chinanyenga anthu okhala pa dziko lapansi. Chinalamula anthu kuti apange fano mopereka ulemu kwa chirombo chimene chinavulazidwa ndi lupanga, koma nʼkukhalabe ndi moyo. Chirombo cha chiwirichi chinapatsidwa mphamvu zakupereka mpweya kwa fano la chirombo choyamba chija kuti liyankhule ndi kuphetsa aliyense wokana kupembedza fanolo. Chinakakamiza aliyense, wamngʼono, wamkulu, wolemera, wosauka, mfulu ndi kapolo kuti alembedwe chizindikiro pa dzanja lamanja kapena pa mphumi. Chinkachita zimenezi kuti wina aliyense asaloledwe kugula kapena kugulitsa kanthu ngati alibe chizindikiro chimenechi, chimene ndi dzina la chirombocho kapena nambala yotanthauza dzina lake. Pano pafunika nzeru. Munthu amene ali ndi nzeru atanthauze nambala ya chirombocho, pakuti nambalayo ikutanthauza munthu. Nambala yake ndi 666.

Mngelo wachitatu anatsatana nawo ndi mawu ofuwula anati, “Ngati wina apembedza chirombo chija ndi fano lake ndi kulembedwa chizindikiro pa mphumi kapena pa dzanja, nayenso adzamwa vinyo waukali wa Mulungu, umene wathiridwa popanda kuchepetsa mphamvu zake mʼchikho cha ukali wa Mulungu. Munthuyo adzazunzidwa ndi moto wamiyala yasulufure pamaso pa angelo oyera ndi pa Mwana Wankhosa. Ndipo utsi wa moto wowazunzawo udzakwera kumwamba mpaka muyaya. Sikudzakhala kupumula usana ndi usiku kwa amene anapembedza chirombo chija ndi fano lake kapena kwa aliyense amene analembedwa chizindikiro cha dzina lake lija.”

Mngelo wachisanu anapita natsanula mbale yake pa mpando waufumu wa chirombo chija ndipo mdima unagwa ponse pamene panali ufumu wake. Anthu analuma malilime awo chifukwa cha ululu.

Kenaka ndinaona mizimu yoyipa itatu imene inkaoneka ngati achule; inatuluka mʼkamwa mwa chinjoka chija, mʼkamwa mwa chirombo chija ndi mʼkamwa mwa mneneri wonyenga uja. Imeneyi ndiyo mizimu ya ziwanda imene imachita zizindikiro zodabwitsa ndipo imatuluka kupita kwa mafumu a dziko lonse, kukawasonkhanitsa ku nkhondo ya pa tsiku lalikulu la Mulungu Wamphamvuzonse.

Mmodzi wa angelo asanu ndi awiri aja amene anali ndi mbale zisanu ndi ziwiri anadza nati kwa ine, “Bwera ndikuonetse chilango cha mkazi wadama wotchuka uja amene akukhala pambali pa madzi ambiri. Mafumu a dziko lapansi amachita naye chigololo ndipo okhala pa dziko lapansi analedzera ndi vinyo wa zigololo zake.” Kenaka mngeloyo anandinyamula mwa Mzimu Woyera kupita nane ku chipululu. Kumeneko ndinaona mkazi atakhala pa chirombo chofiira chokutidwa ndi mayina a chipongwe ndipo chinali ndi mitu isanu ndi iwiri ndi nyanga khumi. Mkaziyo anavala zovala za pepo ndi zofiira nadzikongoletsa ndi golide, miyala yapamwamba ndi ngale. Ananyamula chikho chagolide mʼdzanja lake, chodzaza ndi zinthu zonyansa ndi fungo loyipa la zigololo zake. Pa mphumi pake panalembedwa dzina lodabwitsa: BABULONI WAMKULU MAYI WA AKAZI ADAMA NDI WAZOYIPITSA ZA DZIKO LAPANSI. Ndinaona kuti mkaziyo anali ataledzera ndi magazi a oyera mtima, magazi a amene anachitira umboni Yesu. Nditamuona mkaziyo ndinadabwa kwambiri. Kenaka mngelo uja anati kwa ine, “Bwanji ukudabwa? Ndikufotokozera chinsinsi cha mkaziyu ndi chinsinsi cha chirombo chimene wakwerapochi chokhala ndi mitu isanu ndi iwiri ndi nyanga khumi.

Chirombo chimene wachionachi chinalipo kale koma tsopano kulibe ndipo chidzatuluka ku chidzenje chakuya ndi kupita kukawonongedwa. Anthu okhala pa dziko lapansi amene mayina awo sanalembedwe mʼbuku lamoyo kuyambira pa kulengedwa kwa dziko lapansi adzadabwa pamene adzaona chirombocho, chifukwa chinalipo kale, tsopano kulibe, komabe chidzabwera. “Zimenezi zikufunika kuganizira mwanzeru. Mitu isanu ndi iwiriyo ndi mapiri asanu ndi awiri pomwe mkazi uja amakhalirapo. Yomweyonso ndi mafumu asanu ndi awiri. Mafumu asanu anagwa, imodzi ilipo ndipo ina sinabwere; koma pamene idzafika, idzayenera kukhala kwa kanthawi kochepa. Chirombo chomwe chinalipo kale ndipo tsopano kulibe ndiyo mfumu yachisanu ndi chitatu. Iyo ndi ya mʼgulu la asanu ndi awiriwo ndipo ikupita kukawonongedwa. “Nyanga khumi unaziona zija ndi mafumu khumi amene sanapatsidwe ulamuliro, koma adzapatsidwa ulamuliro pamodzi ndi chirombo kwa ora limodzi. Mafumuwo ali ndi cholinga chimodzi ndipo adzapereka mphamvu ndi ulamuliro wawo kwa chirombocho.

Iwo adzachita nkhondo ndi Mwana Wankhosa, koma Mwana Wankhosayo adzawagonjetsa chifukwa Iye ndi Mbuye wa ambuye ndi Mfumu ya mafumu, ndipo amene adzakhala ndi Iye ndi oyitanidwa ake, osankhidwa ndi otsatira ake okhulupirika.” Kenaka mngeloyo anati kwa ine, “Madzi amene unawaona pamene mkazi wadamayo anakhalapo ndiwo anthu ochuluka, mitundu ndi ziyankhulo. Nyanga khumi ndi chirombo unazionazo zidzadya mkazi wadamayo. Zidzamufwifwitsa ndi kumusiya wamaliseche; zidzadya nyama yake ndi kumutentha ndi moto. Pakuti Mulungu wayika ichi mʼmitima mwawo kuti akwaniritse cholinga chake povomerezana kupereka mphamvu zawo zolamulira kwa chirombo, kufikira Mawu a Mulungu atakwaniritsidwa. Mkazi unamuonayo ndi mzinda waukulu umene ulamulira mafumu a dziko lapansi.”

Mngeloyo anafuwula ndi mawu amphamvu kuti: “ ‘Wagwa! Wagwa Babuloni Wamkulu!’ Wasandulika mokhalamo ziwanda ndi kofikako mizimu yonse yoyipa ndi mbalame zonse zonyansa ndi zodetsedwa.

Kenaka ndinaona chirombo chija ndi mafumu a dziko lapansi ndi magulu ankhondo atasonkhana pamodzi kuti achite nkhondo ndi wokwera pa kavalo ndi ankhondo ake. Koma chirombocho chinagwidwa pamodzi ndi mneneri wonyenga uja amene anachita zizindikiro zodabwitsa pamaso pake. Ndi zizindikirozi anasocheretsa amene analembedwa chizindikiro cha chirombocho napembedza fano lake. Onse awiri anaponyedwa amoyo mʼnyanja yamoto yasulufule wotentha. Ena onse anaphedwa ndi lupanga lija linatuluka mʼkamwa mwa wokwera pa kavalo uja, ndipo mbalame zonse zinadya mokwanira mnofu wa anthu akufawo.

Ndipo ndinaona mngelo akutsika kuchokera kumwamba ali ndi kiyi ya ku chidzenje chakuya chija atanyamula mʼdzanja lake unyolo waukulu. Iye anachigwira chinjokacho, chinjoka chakalekale chija, amene ndi Mdierekezi kapena kuti Satana, ndipo anamumanga zaka 1,000. Anamuponya ku chidzenje chakuya chija namutsekera ndi kiyi ndi kumatirira pa khomopo kuti asatulukenso kukanyenga mitundu ya anthu mpaka patapita zaka 1,000. Zikadzatha zakazo, adzamumasula kwa kanthawi pangʼono chabe.

Zaka 1,000 zikadzatha, Satana adzamasulidwa ku ndende yake ndipo adzapita kukanyenga mitundu ya anthu kumbali zonse zinayi za dziko lapansi, Gogi ndi Magogi, kuwasonkhanitsa kuti akachite nkhondo. Kuchuluka kwawo kudzakhala ngati mchenga wa mʼmbali mwa nyanja. Iwo anayenda ponseponse pa dziko lapansi nazinga msasa wa anthu a Mulungu, mzinda umene Iye amawukonda. Koma moto unatsika kuchokera kumwamba ndi kuwanyeketsa.

Ndipo Mdierekezi amene anawanyenga, anaponyedwa mʼnyanja ya sulufule wotentha, kumene kunaponyedwa chirombo chija ndi mneneri wonama uja. Iwo adzazunzika usiku ndi usana kwamuyaya.
