Mateyu 18 FHB Father's Heart Bible™

18 ¹Pa nthawi imeneyo ophunzira anadza kwa Yesu, namfunsa kuti, “Kodi ndani, tsono, wamkulu mu ufumu wa Atate wathu?”

²Anaitana mwana wamng'ono kwa Iye, namuyika pakati pawo,

³nati, “Indetu, ndinena kwa inu: Mukapanda kutembenuka nakhala ngati ana aang'ono, simudzalowa konse mu ufumu wa Atate wathu. ⁴Chifukwa chake aliyense amene adzichepetsa ngati mwana wamng'ono uyu, ndiye wamkulu mu ufumu wa Atate wathu. ⁵Ndipo aliyense amene alandira mwana wamng'ono wotere mmodzi m'dzina langa, alandira Ine.”

Kupunthwitsa Ana Aang'ono

⁶“Koma aliyense amene apunthwitsa mmodzi wa ana aang'ono awa amene akhulupirira Ine—kuli bwino kummangirira mwala waukulu wa mphero pakhosi pake, nammizitsa kunyanja kuzama.”

⁷“Tsoka kwa dziko chifukwa cha zinthu zopunthwitsa! Ziyenera kudza, koma tsoka kwa munthu amene azibweretsa. ⁸Ngati dzanja lako kapena phazi lako likupunthwitsa, lidule, nulitaye. Kuli bwino kulowa m'moyo uli wolumala kapena wopunduka, kuposa kukhala ndi manja onse awiri kapena mapazi onse awiri, nuponyedwa pa moto wosatha.” ⁹Ngati diso lako likupunthwitsa, ling'ambule, nulitaye. Kuli bwino kulowa m'moyo uli ndi diso limodzi, kuposa kukhala ndi onse awiri, nuponyedwa pa moto wa gehena.

Atate Afunafuna Nkhosa Imodzi Yotayika

¹⁰“Onetsetsani kuti musanyoze mmodzi wa ana aang'ono awa. Ndinena kwa inu, angelo awo kumwamba amaona nthawi zonse nkhope ya Atate wanga wa Kumwamba.” ^a a v10 Mipukutu yakale koposa ilibe vesi 11 pano; makope amtsogolo awonjeza kuti: “Pakuti Mwana wa Munthu anadza kudzapulumutsa otayika.”

¹²“Mukuganiza bwanji? Ngati munthu ali ndi nkhosa zana limodzi ndipo imodzi yasochera, kodi sadzasiya makumi asanu ndi anayi mphambu zisanu ndi zinayi pa mapiri, napita kukafunafuna imene yasochera? ¹³Ngati waipeza, ndikutsimikizirani: amakondwera nayo kuposa makumi asanu ndi anayi mphambu zisanu ndi zinayi zimene sizinasochere konse. ¹⁴Momwemo si chifuniro cha Atate wanu wa Kumwamba kuti mmodzi wa ana aang'ono awa awonongeke.'

Pamene M'bale Akuchimwira

¹⁵“Ngati m'bale wako akuchimwira, pita, umuonetse cholakwa chake—iwe ndi iye nokha. Ngati akumvera, wambweza m'bale wako. ¹⁶Koma ngati sadzamvera, tenga wina mmodzi kapena awiri pamodzi ndi iwe, kuti nkhani iliyonse ikhazikike pakamwa pa mboni ziwiri kapena zitatu. ¹⁷Ngati sadzawamvera, uuze mpingo. Ngati sadzamveranso mpingo, umuyese ngati wakunja kapena wolandira msonkho. ¹⁸Indetu ndinena kwa inu, chilichonse chimene mudzamanga padziko lapansi chidzamangidwa kumwamba, ndipo chilichonse chimene mudzamasula padziko lapansi, chidzamasulidwa kumwamba. ¹⁹Kachiwirinso, indetu ndinena kwa inu: ngati awiri a inu padziko lapansi avomerezana pa chilichonse chimene adzapempha, Atate wanga wa Kumwamba adzawachitira. ²⁰Pakuti kumene awiri kapena atatu asonkhana pamodzi m'dzina langa, Ine ndili komweko pakati pawo.”

Chikhululukiro cha Atate ndi Chathu

²¹Ndipo Petro anadza kwa Yesu nati, “Ambuye, kodi ndikhululukire m'bale wanga amene amandichimwira kangati? Mpaka kasanu ndi kawiri?”

²²Yesu anayankha nati, “Ndinena kwa iwe, osati kasanu ndi kawiri, koma makumi asanu ndi awiri mphambu zisanu ndi ziwiri. ²³Chifukwa chake ufumu wa Atate wathu ukufanana ndi mfumu imene inafuna kuwerengana ndi akapolo ake. ²⁴Pamene anayamba kuwerengana, munthu wina wa ngongole yaikulu kwambiri anabweretsedwa kwa iye. ²⁵Popeza sanathe kulipira, mbuye wake analamula kuti iye ndi mkazi wake, ana ndi zonse zimene anali nazo zigulitsidwe, ndipo ngongole ibwezedwe.”

²⁶Pamenepo kapoloyo anagwada pamaso pake, nadandaula kuti, “Ndilezereni mtima, ndipo ndidzabweza zonse. ²⁷Mbuye wa kapolo ameneyo, mtima wake utagwidwa ndi chifundo, anamumasula, namukhululukira ngongole.”

²⁸“Kenaka kapoloyo anatuluka, napeza kapolo mnzake amene anamukongola malipiro a masiku zana limodzi, namgwira, nayamba kumminya pakhosi, nati, ‘Bwezera chimene unandikongola!’”

²⁹Pamenepo kapolo mnzakeyo anagwada, namudandaulira kuti, “Ndileze mtima; ndidzakubwezera. ³⁰Koma iye anakana, napita, namuponya m'ndende kufikira atabweza ngongole. ³¹Akapolo anzake ataona zimene zinachitika, anamva chisoni kwambiri, napita, nakauza mbuye wawo zonse zimene zinachitika.”

³²Pamenepo mbuye wake anamuitana nati, “Kapolo woipa iwe, ndinakukhululukira ngongole yonse ija chifukwa unandipempha. ³³Kodi nawenso sunayenera kuchitira chifundo kapolo mnzako, monga momwe Ine ndinakuchitira chifundo? ³⁴Mokwiya, mbuye wake anamupereka kwa ozunza mpaka atabweza ngongole yonse. ³⁵Atate wanga wa Kumwamba adzakuchitirani chimodzimodzi, mukapanda, aliyense wa inu, kukhululukira m'bale wake kuchokera mumtima.”
