Chaputala 1.

Yuda, kapolo wa Yesu Khristu ndi m'bale wa Yakobo, kulembera iwo oitanidwa, okondedwa mwa Atate wathu ndi osungidwa kwa Yesu Khristu: Chifundo, mtendere, ndi chikondi zichulukitsidwe kwa inu.

Limbikirani Kumenyera Chikhulupiriro

Okondedwa, ngakhale ndinali ndi changu chokulemberani za chipulumutso chathu tonse, ndinaona kuti ndiyenera kukulemberani, kukudandaulirani kuti mulimbikire kumenyera chikhulupiriro chimene chinaperekedwa kamodzi kokha kwa oyera mtima. Pakuti anthu ena analowerera mobisa mosadziwika, amene kalekale analembedweratu chiweruzo ichi—anthu osaopa Mulungu, amene amasandutsa chisomo cha Atate wathu kukhala chilolezo cha chilakolako, nakana Mbuye wathu yekha ndi Ambuye wathu, Yesu Khristu.

Tsopano ndifuna kukukumbutsani, ngakhale mwadziwa kale zonsezi, kuti Yesu, atapulumutsa anthu kuwatulutsa m'dziko la Igupto, pambuyo pake anawononga iwo amene sanakhulupirire. ^a Angelo amene sanasunge udindo wawo koma anasiya khomo lawo loyenera, Iye wawasunga m'maunyolo osatha, mu mdima wandiweyani, kuti aweruzidwe pa tsiku lalikulu. ^b Momwemonso Sodomu, Gomora, ndi mizinda ya pafupi, yomwe inadzipereka ku uchimo wa dama ndi kutsata chilakolako cha thupi chachilendo, ikuimira chitsanzo, ikulangidwa ndi moto wosatha. Komabe anthu olota maloto amenewa momwemonso amadetsa thupi lawo, amakana ulamuliro, ndi kunyoza anthu aulemerero. Koma Mikayeli mkulu wa angelo, polimbana ndi mdyerekezi, anatsutsana naye za thupi la Mose, osalimba mtima kubweretsa chiweruzo chonyoza pa iye, koma anati, “Atate wathu akudzudzule.” ^c Koma anthu amenewa amanyoza chilichonse chimene sachizindikira; ndipo zimene amazizindikira mwachibadwa, ngati nyama zopanda nzeru, zimawawononga. Tsoka kwa iwo! Anatsata njira ya Kaini, nathamangira ku cholakwa cha Baalamu chifukwa cha malipiro, nafa mu kupanduka kwa Kora. Amenewa ndi miyala yobisika ya m'madzi pa maphwando anu achikondi, akusangalala nanu popanda mantha, akudzidyetsa okha—mitambo yowuma yowombedwa ndi mphepo, mitengo ya nthawi yophukira yopanda zipatso, yofa kawiri, yozulidwa mizu. Mafunde amphamvu a m'nyanja, akutulutsa thovu la manyazi awo; nyenyezi zoyendayenda, zimene mdima wandiweyani kwambiri wawasungira ku nthawi zonse. Enoki, wachisanu ndi chiwiri kuyambira kwa Adamu, ananenera za amenewanso, nati: “Taonani, Ambuye wathu Yesu anabwera ndi oyera mtima ake miyandamiyanda, ^d kudzaweruza onse ndi kutsutsa munthu aliyense pa ntchito zonse zoyipa zimene anazichita mwanjira yoyipa yotero, ndi pa zinthu zonse zankhanza zimene ochimwa osaopa Mulungu ananena motsutsana ndi Iye.” Amenewa amang'ung'udza ndi kudandaula, akutsatira zilakolako zawo; pakamwa pawo pamadzitamandira, ndipo amanyengerera anthu kuti apindule.

Kumbukirani Zimene Zinaneneratu

Koma inu, okondedwa, kumbukirani zimene atumwi a Ambuye wathu Yesu Khristu ananena kale. Mmene anakuuzani kuti: “M'nthawi yotsiriza kudzakhala anthu onyoza, otsatira zilakolako zawo zosaopa Mulungu.” Amenewa ndi amene amabweretsa magawano, anthu a dziko lapansi, opanda Mzimu.

Koma inu, okondedwa, mukudzimanga nokha pa chikhulupiriro chanu choyera kwambiri ndi kupemphera mwa Mzimu Woyera. Dzisungeni m'chikondi cha Atate wathu, mukuyembekezera chifundo cha Ambuye wathu Yesu Khristu, chimene chitsogolera ku moyo wosatha. Ndipo achitireni chifundo iwo amene akukayika; pulumutsani ena powagwira kuwachotsa pa moto; achitireni ena chifundo mwa mantha, kudana ngakhale ndi chovala chodetsedwa ndi uchimo wawo.

Atate Wathu Amakusungani

Tsopano kwa Iye amene angathe kukusungani kuti musapunthwe ndi kukuimikani opanda cholakwa pamaso pa ulemerero wake ndi chimwemwe chachikulu, kwa Atate wathu yekha, Mpulumutsi wathu, mwa Yesu Khristu Ambuye wathu, kukhale ulemerero, ukulu, ufumu, ndi ulamuliro, nthawi isanayambe, ndi tsopano, ndi mpaka muyaya. Amen. ^e
