1 Samuele 12 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

12 ¹Samueli anati kwa Aisraeli onse, “Ndinamvera mau anu pa zonse zimene munandiuza, ndipo ndinakuikirani mfumu. ²Tsopano mfumu ikuyenda patsogolo panu. Ine ndakalamba ndipo ndili ndi imvi; ana anga ali ndi inu. Ndakhala ndikuyenda patsogolo panu kuyambira ubwana wanga mpaka lero. ³Ndili pano—chitirani umboni wonditsutsa pamaso pa Atate wathu ndi wodzozedwa wake. Kodi ndatenga ng'ombe ya ndani? Kodi ndatenga bulu wa ndani? Kodi ndabera ndani? Kodi ndapondereza ndani? Kodi ndalandira chiphuphu cha ndani kuti nditsinzinire? Ndiuzeni, ndipo ndidzakubwezerani.”

⁴Iwo anati, “Simunatibere, kapena kutipondereza, kapena kutenga kanthu kalikonse m'dzanja la munthu aliyense.”

⁵Iye anati kwa iwo, “Atate wathu ndiye mboni yokutsutsani, ndipo wodzozedwa wake ndiye mboni lero, kuti simunapeze kanthu m'dzanja langa.” Iwo anati, “Iye ndiye mboni.”

⁶Ndipo Samueli anati kwa anthu, “Anali Atate wathu amene anasankha Mose ndi Aroni, nawatulutsa makolo anu ku Igupto. ⁷Tsopano imani, kuti ndiyankhule nanu pamaso pa Atate wathu za ntchito zonse zolungama zimene anakuchitirani inu ndi makolo anu.”

⁸Pamene Yakobo analowa ku Igupto, makolo anu analirira kwa Atate wathu, amene anatuma Mose ndi Aroni, nawatulutsa ku Igupto nawakhazika pano. ⁹Koma anaiwala Atate wathu, kotero Iye anawapereka m'manja mwa Sisera, mkulu wa asilikali a ku Hazori, ndi kwa Afilisti, ndi kwa mfumu ya Mowabu, amene anamenyana nawo.

¹⁰Iwo analirira kwa Atate wathu, nati, “Tachimwa; tasiya Atate wathu ndipo tatumikira Abaala ndi Asataroti. Tsopano tipulumutseni m'dzanja la adani athu, ndipo tidzakutumikirani.” ¹¹Kotero Atate wathu anatuma Yerubaala, Baraki, Yefita, ndi Samueli, nakupulumutsani m'dzanja la adani anu a mbali zonse, kotero munakhala mwamtendere. ^a a v11 Yerubaala ndi dzina lina la Gideoni, woweruza amene anagwetsa guwa la nsembe la atate wake lopembedzera Baala.

¹²Pamene munaona Nahasi mfumu ya Aamoni ikubwera kudzalimbana nanu, munandiuza kuti, “Ayi, mfumu iyenera kutilamulira”—ngakhale kuti Atate wathu anali mfumu yanu. ¹³Tsopano nayi mfumu imene munaisankha ndi kuipempha. Taonani, Atate wathu wakuikirani mfumu. ¹⁴Ngati mudzaopa Atate wathu, ndi kumutumikira ndi kumumvera, ndi kusawukira lamulo lake, ndipo inu pamodzi ndi mfumu yanu mutsatire Atate wathu, zonse zidzakhala bwino. ¹⁵Koma ngati simudzamvera Atate wathu, ndi kuwukira lamulo lake, dzanja la Atate wathu lidzakutsutsani, monga momwe linachitira makolo anu.

¹⁶Tsopano imani chilili, ndipo onani chinthu chachikulu ichi chimene Atate wathu ali pafupi kuchita pamaso panu. ¹⁷Kodi lero si nthawi yokolola tirigu? Ndidzaitana Atate wathu—ndipo Iye adzatumiza mabingu ndi mvula, kuti mudziwe kukula kwa choipa chimene munachita pamaso pa Atate wathu, podzipemphera nokha mfumu. ^b b v17 Mvula nthawi zambiri siigwa panthawi yokolola tirigu kumayambiriro kwa chilimwe, kotero mkuntho wa mabingu wadzidzidzi unali chizindikiro chenicheni chochokera kwa Atate wathu.

¹⁸Samueli anaitana Atate wathu; tsiku limenelo Iye anatumiza mabingu ndi mvula, ndipo anthu onse anaopa kwambiri Atate wathu ndi Samueli.

¹⁹Anthu onse anati kwa Samueli, “Pempherani kwa Atate wanu m'malo mwa antchito anu, kuti tisafe: taonjezera choipa pa machimo athu onse pakupempha mfumu.”

²⁰Samueli anati kwa anthu, “Musaope. Mwachita choipa chonsechi—komabe musapatuke kutsatira Atate wathu; mutumikireni ndi mtima wanu wonse. ²¹Musatembenukire ku mafano achabechabe—amene sangathandize, kapena kupulumutsa, pakuti ndi achabechabe. ²²Pakuti Atate wathu sadzasiya anthu ake, chifukwa cha dzina lake lalikulu. Iye anasankha kukupangani anthu ake enieni. ²³Inenso sindingachimwire Atate wathu poleka kukupemphererani; ndidzakuphunzitsani njira yabwino ndi yolungama. ²⁴Koma opani Atate wathu, mumutumikire mokhulupirika ndi mtima wanu wonse, ndipo ganizirani zinthu zazikulu zimene anakuchitirani. ²⁵Koma ngati mudzapitiriza kuchita choipa, inu pamodzi ndi mfumu yanu mudzawonongedwa.”
