1 Ine ndikufunsa kuti kodi Mulungu anakana anthu ake? Ayi. Ndi pangʼono pomwe! Inenso ndine Mwisraeli, mmodzi mwa zidzukulu za Abrahamu, ndiponso wa fuko la Benjamini. 2 Mulungu sanawakane anthu ake amene Iye anawadziwiratu. Kodi inu simukudziwa zimene Malemba akunena pa ndime imene Eliya akudandaula kwa Mulungu kuneneza Aisraeli? Iye anati, 3 “Ambuye, anthuwa apha aneneri anu ndi kugwetsa maguwa anu ansembe. Ndatsala ine ndekha wamoyo ndipo akufuna kundipha?” 4 Ndipo yankho la Mulungu linali lotani? “Ine ndadzisungira ndekha anthu 7,000 amene sanapembedzepo Baala.” 5 Chimodzimodzinso lero lino, alipo Aisraeli pangʼono osankhidwa mwachisomo. 6 Ndipo ngati ndi mwachisomo, sikungakhalenso mwa ntchito. Ngati zikanatero, chisomo sichikanakhalanso chisomo ayi. 7 Nʼchiyani tsopano? Chimene Aisraeli anachifuna ndi mtima wonse sanachipeze koma osankhidwawo anachipeza. Enawo anawumitsidwa mtima 8 monga kwalembedwa kuti,“Mulungu anawapatsa mzimu wosatha kumvetsa zinthu,maso osatha kupenya;makutu osatha kumvampaka lero lino.” 9 Ndipo Davide akuti,“Maphwando awo asanduke msampha ndi diwa lowakolandi chopunthwitsa kuti alandire chilango. 10 Maso awo atsekedwe kuti asaone,ndi misana yawo ikhale yokhota nthawi zonse.” 11 Ine ndikufunsanso kuti, kodi iwo anapunthwa ndi kugwa kotheratu? Ayi. Ndi pangʼono pomwe! Koma chifukwa cha kulakwa kwawo, chipulumutso chinafika kwa a mitundu ina kuti Aisraeli achite nsanje. 12 Koma ngati kulakwa kwawo kwapindulitsa dziko lapansi ndi kulephera kwawo kwapindulitsa a mitundu ina, nanga kudzakhala kupindula kwakukulu chotani iwo akadzabwera chonse! 13 Ine ndikuyankhula kwa inu a mitundu ina monga ine ndili mtumwi wa kwa a mitundu ina ndipo ndimawunyadira utumiki wangawu. 14 Ine cholinga changa nʼchakuti ndichititse nsanje anthu a mtundu wanga kuti ena mwa iwo apulumutsidwe. 15 Pakuti ngati kukanidwa kwawo kunayanjanitsa anthu a dziko lapansi ndi Mulungu, nanga kudzatani, Iye akadzawalandiranso? Kudzakhala monga ngati anthu akufa akuuka. 16 Ngati chigawo chimodzi cha buledi woperekedwa monga zipatso zoyamba ndi choyera, ndiye kuti zonsezo ndi zoyera. Ngati muzu ndi oyera, nʼchimodzimodzinso nthambi zake. 17 Ngati nthambi zina zinakhadzulidwa ndipo inu, inu ndiye nthambi za olivi wakuthengo, nʼkulumikizidwa pamalo pa nthambi zimenezo, ndipo tsopano mukulandira nawo zakudya zochokera ku mizu ya olivi, 18 musadzitame kunyoza nthambi zinazo. Ngati mutero, ganizirani ichi kuti Inu simugwiriziza mizu, koma muzu ukugwiriziza inu. 19 Tsono mudzati, “Nthambizo zinakhadzulidwa kuti ine ndilumikizidwepo.” 20 Nʼzoona. Koma iwo anakhadzulidwa chifukwa chosakhulupirira ndipo inu mukuyima mwachikhulupiriro. Musadzitukumule, koma muchite mantha. 21 Pakuti ngati Mulungu sanalekerere nthambi zachibadwidwe, Iye sadzakulekererani inunso. 22 Nʼchifukwa chake ganizirani za kukoma mtima ndi za ukali wa Mulungu. Ukali uli kwa iwo amene anagwa koma kukoma mtima kwa inu, malinga ngati musamala kukoma mtima kwakeko kupanda kutero inunso mudzakhadzulidwanso. 23 Ngati iwo asiya kukhala osakhulupirira, adzalumikizidwanso pakuti Mulungu akhoza kuwalumikizanso. 24 Pakuti ngati inu, mwa chilengedwe munali mtengo wa olivi wa kuthengo, Mulungu anakukhadzulani nakulumikizani ku mtengo wa olivi wodzalidwa, zomwe ndi zotsutsana ndi chilengedwe, kodi sikudzakhala kwapafupi kwa Iye kuwalumikizanso mu mtengo wawowawo wa olivi? 25 Abale, ine sindifuna kuti mukhale osadziwa za chinsinsi ichi, kuti mungadziyese nokha anzeru. Kuwuma mtima kumene Aisraeli akuchita ndi kwa kanthawi kufikira chiwerengero cha a mitundu chitalowa. 26 Kotero tsono Aisraeli onse adzapulumuka, monga kwalembedwa kuti,“Mpulumutsi adzachokera ku Ziyoni;Iye adzachotsa zoyipa zonse za Yakobo. 27 Ndipo ili lidzakhala pangano langa ndi iwopamene Ine ndidzachotsa machimo awo.” 28 Chifukwa cha Uthenga Wabwino, Aisraeli asanduka adani a Mulungu kuti inu mupindule. Koma kunena za kusankhidwa, iwo ndi okondedwa ndi Mulungu chifukwa cha makolo awo aja. 29 Pakuti Mulungu akayitana munthu ndi kumupatsa mphatso sangasinthenso. 30 Monga mmene inu munalili, osamvera Mulungu pa nthawi ina, tsopano mwalandira chifundo chifukwa cha kusamvera kwawo. 31 Chonchonso iwo akhala osamvera tsopano kuti iwonso alandire chifundo chifukwa cha chifundo cha Mulungu kwa inu. 32 Pakuti Mulungu anasandutsa anthu onse a mʼndende ya kusamvera kuti Iye akaonetse chifundo kwa onse. 33 Aa! Nzeru za Mulungu ndi chidziwitso chake ndi zozama kwambiri!Ndani angazindikire maweruzidwe ake,ndipo njira zake angazitulukire ndani? 34 “Kodi wadziwa ndani maganizo a Ambuye?Kapena ndani anakhalapo mlangizi wake?” 35 “Kodi ndani anapereka mphatso kwa Mulungu,kuti Mulunguyo amubwezere iye?” 36 Pakuti zinthu zonse nʼzochokera kwa Iye, nʼzolengedwa ndi Iye ndipo zimabweretsa ulemerero kwa Iye.Kwa Iye kukhale ulemerero mpaka muyaya! Ameni.
