Agalatiya 3 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

3 ¹Inu Agalatiya opusa, anakulodzani ndani? Yesu Khristu anaonetsedwa ali wopachikidwa pamaso panu. ²Ndikufuna kuphunzira ichi chokha kwa inu: kodi munalandira Mzimu Woyera mwa ntchito za lamulo, kapena mwa kumva ndi chikhulupiriro? ³Kodi ndinu opusa chotere? Popeza munayamba mwa Mzimu, kodi tsopano mukutsirizidwa ndi khama la umunthu? ⁴Kodi munamva zowawa zambiri chotere pachabe—ngati zinalidi zachabe? ⁵Nanga Atate wathu, amene amakupatsani Mzimu Woyera mowolowa manja ndi kuchita zozizwitsa pakati panu, kodi amachita izi mwa ntchito za lamulo, kapena mwa kumva ndi chikhulupiriro? ⁶Momwemo zinalili ndi Abrahamu: “Iye anakhulupirira Atate wathu, ndipo zinawerengedwa kwa iye kukhala chilungamo.” ⁷Zindikirani, tsono, kuti iwo amene ali ndi chikhulupiriro ndiwo ana a Abrahamu.

⁸Malemba, poona patsogolo kuti Atate wathu adzalungamitsa mitundu ya anthu mwa chikhulupiriro, anamuuza Abrahamu uthenga wabwino poyamba: “Mwa iwe mitundu yonse idzadalitsidwa.”

⁹Choncho iwo amene ali ndi chikhulupiriro adalitsidwa pamodzi ndi Abrahamu, munthu wa chikhulupiriro.

¹⁰Pakuti onse amene adalira ntchito za lamulo ali pansi pa temberero, popeza kwalembedwa kuti: “Wotembereredwa ndi aliyense amene sapitiriza kuchita zonse zolembedwa m'Buku la Lamulo.” ¹¹Mowonekeratu, palibe munthu wolungamitsidwa pamaso pa Atate wathu mwa lamulo: “Wolungama adzakhala ndi moyo mwa chikhulupiriro.” ¹²Koma lamulo silikhazikika pa chikhulupiriro; m'malo mwake, “Aliyense wochita zimenezo adzakhala ndi moyo mwa izo.”

¹³Khristu anatiwombola ku temberero la lamulo mwa kukhala temberero chifukwa cha ife—pakuti Malemba akunena kuti, “Wotembereredwa ndi aliyense wopachikidwa pamtengo.” ¹⁴Anachita izi kuti dalitso la Abrahamu lidze kwa mitundu ya anthu mwa Khristu Yesu, kuti ife tilandire Mzimu Woyera wolonjezedwa mwa chikhulupiriro.

Lonjezo Likhazikika, Lamulo Limatumikira

¹⁵Abale, ndiyankhule monga mwa anthu: palibe amene amathetsa kapena kuwonjezera pa pangano la anthu lotsimikizidwa. ¹⁶Malonjezo ananenedwa kwa Abrahamu ndi mbewu yake. Silinena kuti, “Ndi kwa mbewu,” zambiri, koma kuti, “Ndi kwa mbewu yako,” imodzi, amene ndiye Khristu. ¹⁷Chimene ndikunena ndi ichi: lamulo, lomwe linadza patapita zaka 430, silingathetse pangano limene Atate wathu anali atalitsimikiza kale, kuti lipukutse lonjezo. ¹⁸Ngati cholowa chimachokera ku lamulo, sichichokeranso ku lonjezo—koma Atate wathu anachipereka kwa Abrahamu mwa lonjezo.

¹⁹Nanga lamulo nchifukwa chiyani? Linawonjezedwa chifukwa cha zolakwa, mpaka itadza mbewu imene lonjezo linapangidwa kwa iyo—lokonzedwa mwa angelo ndi dzanja la mkhalapakati. ^a a v19 Mwambo wa Ayuda unkanena kuti Mulungu anapereka lamulo kwa Mose kudzera mwa angelo pa Phiri la Sinai. ²⁰Tsopano mkhalapakati sakhala wa mbali imodzi yokha; koma Atate wathu ndi mmodzi.

²¹Kodi tsono lamulo limatsutsana ndi malonjezo a Atate wathu? Ayi, ndithu! Ngati lamulo likanatha kupereka moyo, ndithu chilungamo chikanachokera ku lamulo. ²²Koma Malemba anatsekera zinthu zonse pansi pa tchimo, kuti lonjezo, mwa chikhulupiriro mwa Yesu Khristu, lipatsidwe kwa iwo amene akhulupirira.

²³Chikhulupiriro chisanadze, tinali osungidwa pansi pa lamulo, otsekeredwa mpaka chikhulupiriro chimene chinkadza chitavumbulutsidwa. ²⁴Choncho lamulo linali mlezi wathu mpaka kudza kwa Khristu, kuti chikhulupiriro chitilungamitse. ²⁵Koma tsopano popeza chikhulupiriro chadza, sitilinso pansi pa mlezi.

Ana a Atate Mwachikhulupiriro

²⁶Pakuti mwa Khristu Yesu nonse ndinu ana a Atate wathu mwa chikhulupiriro. ²⁷Pakuti nonse amene munabatizidwa mwa Khristu mwadzivala Khristu. ²⁸Palibe Myuda kapena Mgiriki, palibe kapolo kapena mfulu, palibe wamwamuna ndi wamkazi—pakuti nonse ndinu mmodzi mwa Khristu Yesu. ²⁹Ndipo ngati ndinu a Khristu, ndiye kuti ndinu mbewu ya Abrahamu, olowa nyumba molingana ndi lonjezo.
