Machitidwe 11 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

11 ¹Atumwi ndi abale a ku Yudeya anamva kuti amitundunso analandira mau a Atate wathu. ²Choncho Petro atakwera ku Yerusalemu, anthu a mbali ya mdulidwe anamtsutsa, ³nati, “Munalowa m'nyumba mwa amuna osadulidwa, nadya nawo.”

⁴Koma Petro anawafotokozera motsatana: ⁵Pamene ndinkapemphera mu mzinda wa Yopa, ndinakomoka, ndipo ndinaona masomphenya: chinthu chachikulu ngati nsalu, chikutsitsidwa kuchokera kumwamba ndi ngodya zake zinayi, nkufika kwa ine. ⁶Nditachiyang'anitsitsa, ndinaona nyama za miyendo inayi, zirombo za kuthengo, zokwawa, ndi mbalame.

⁷Ndipo ndinamva mau akundiuza, ‘Dzuka, Petro; ipha, udye.’

⁸Koma ndinati, ‘Ayi n'komwe, Ambuye; pakuti palibe chinthu chodetsedwa kapena chosayera chinalowapo m'kamwa mwanga.’

⁹Koma mau aja anayankha kachiwiri kuchokera kumwamba, ‘Chimene Atate wathu anachiyeretsa, usachitchule chodetsedwa.’ ¹⁰Izi zinachitika katatu, ndipo zonse zinakwezedwanso kumwamba. ¹¹Pomwepo amuna atatu, otumidwa kwa ine kuchokera ku Kaisareya, anafika pa nyumba imene tinkakhala. ¹²Mzimu anandiuza kuti ndipite nawo, wosasiyanitsa konse. Abale asanu ndi mmodzi awa anapitanso nane, ndipo tinalowa m'nyumba ya munthu uja.

¹³Iye anatiuza mmene anaonera mngelo ataimirira m'nyumba mwake, nati, ‘Tuma ku Yopa, ukayitanitse Simoni wotchedwa Petro; ¹⁴iye adzakuuza mau amene udzapulumutsidwa nawo, iwe ndi a m'banja lako lonse.’ ¹⁵Nditangoyamba kuyankhula, Mzimu Woyera anawatsikira monga momwe anatitsikira ife poyamba.

¹⁶Ndipo ndinakumbukira mau amene Ambuye wathu Yesu ananena, ‘Yohane anabatiza ndi madzi, koma inu mudzabatizidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera.’ ¹⁷Ngati Atate wathu anawapatsa mphatso yomweyo imene anatipatsa ife amene tinakhulupirira Ambuye Yesu Khristu, kodi ine ndinali yani kuti nditsekereze Atate wathu?

¹⁸Atamva zimenezi, anakhala chete nulemekeza Atate wathu, nati, “Ndiye kuti Atate wathu wapatsanso amitundu kutembenuka mtima kotsogolera ku moyo.”

Banja la Atate wathu Likukula ku Antiokeya

¹⁹Amene anabalalitsidwa ndi mazunzo pa nkhani ya Stefano, anayenda mpaka ku Foinike, ku Kupro, ndi ku Antiokeya, akumalalikira mau kwa Ayuda okha. ²⁰Koma ena a iwo—amuna a ku Kupro ndi ku Kurene—anafika ku Antiokeya, nayankhula ndi Ahelene omwe, akuwauza uthenga wabwino wa Ambuye Yesu. ^a a v20 Ahelene: anthu olankhula Chigriki, mwina amitundu pa nkhani iyi. ²¹Dzanja la Ambuye wathu Yesu linali nawo, ndipo ambiri anakhulupirira natembenukira kwa Ambuye. ²²Mpingo wa ku Yerusalemu unamva za zimenezi, nutuma Barnaba ku Antiokeya. ²³Atafika, anaona chisomo cha Atate wathu nakondwera, nawalimbikitsa onse kuti akhazikike pa Ambuye ndi mtima wokhwima. ²⁴Pakuti anali munthu wabwino, wodzala ndi Mzimu Woyera ndi chikhulupiriro, ndipo gulu lalikulu la anthu linawonjezedwa kwa Ambuye.

²⁵Choncho Barnaba anapita ku Tariso kukafunafuna Saulo, ²⁶atampeza, anabwera naye ku Antiokeya. Kwa chaka chathunthu anasonkhana ndi mpingo, naphunzitsa gulu lalikulu la anthu, ndipo ku Antiokeya ophunzira anayamba kutchedwa Akhristu. ^b b v26 Dzina lakuti Akhristu litanthauza “amene ali a Khristu” — nthawi yoyamba imene otsatira Yesu anatchedwa ndi dzina lake.

²⁷M'masiku amenewa aneneri anatsika kuchokera ku Yerusalemu kupita ku Antiokeya. ²⁸Mmodzi wa iwo, dzina lake Agabo, anaimirira nalosera mwa Mzimu kuti njala yaikulu idzagwa pa dziko lonse lapansi—ndipo zinachitika m'masiku a Klaudiyo. ²⁹Ophunzira anatsimikiza, aliyense monga mwa kuthekera kwake, kutumiza thandizo kwa abale amene anakhala ku Yudeya. ³⁰Ndipo anachita motero, nalitumiza kwa akulu mwa Barnaba ndi Saulo.
