Imfa ndi Moyo Zili mu Lilime

Mawu ndi kudzipatula. Mawu ndi madzi akuya onyamula imfa kapena moyo, pakamwa pa wopusa ndi msampha wake womwe, ndipo kuyankha usanamvetsere ndi manyazi. Ukuona kuti woyamba kufotokoza mlandu wake amaoneka wolondola mpaka atafunsidwa, ndi kuti m'bale wokhumudwitsidwa ndi wovuta kumukopa.

Chaputala 18.

Amene adzipatula yekha amafunafuna zokhumba zake; amawukira nzeru zonse zoyenera. Chitsiru sichikondwera ndi kumvetsetsa, koma chimangofuna kuulula maganizo ake okha. Pamene choyipa chibwera, kunyoza kumabweranso, ndipo pamodzi ndi kunyozeka kumabwera chitonzo. Mawu a m'kamwa mwa munthu ali ngati madzi akuya; kasupe wa nzeru ndi mtsinje woyenda. Si bwino kukondera anthu oyipa, ndi kulanda wolungama chiweruzo chake cholungama. Milomo ya chitsiru imabweretsa mikangano, ndipo kamwa kake kamaitana kumenyedwa. Kamwa ka chitsiru ndiko kuwonongeka kwake, ndipo milomo yake ili msampha kwa moyo wake. Mawu a wamiseche ali ngati zakudya zokoma; zimatsikira mkati mwenimweni mwa munthu. Amene ali waulesi pa ntchito yake ndi m'bale wa amene amawononga. Dzina la Atate wathu ndi nsanja yolimba; wolungama amathawiramo n'kukhala wotetezedwa. Chuma cha munthu wolemera ndi mzinda wake wolimba; m'maganizo ake chili ngati khoma lalitali. Chiwonongeko chisanafike, mtima wa munthu umadzikuza, koma kudzichepetsa kumabwera ulemu usanafike. Ngati munthu ayankha asanamve, ndiko kupusa kwake ndi manyazi ake. Mzimu wa munthu ungamuchirikize pa matenda ake, koma mzimu wophwanyika—angaupirire ndani? Mtima wozindikira umapeza chidziwitso, ndipo khutu la wanzeru limachifunafuna. Mphatso ya munthu imamutsegulira njira ndi kumufikitsa pamaso pa anthu olemekezeka. Woyamba kunena nkhani yake aoneka wolungama, mpaka wina adza namufufuza. Kuchita maere kumathetsa mikangano ndi kulekanitsa otsutsana amphamvu. M'bale wokhumudwa ndi wovuta kumkondweretsa kuposa mzinda wolimba, ndipo mikangano ili ngati mipiringidzo ya linga. Ndi zipatso za m'kamwa mwa munthu mimba yake imakhuta; ndi zokolola za milomo yake amakhutitsidwa. Imfa ndi moyo zili mu mphamvu ya lilime, ndipo amene alikonda adzadya zipatso zake. Amene apeza mkazi apeza chinthu chabwino ndipo alandira chisomo kwa Atate wathu. Munthu wosauka amapempha chifundo, koma wolemera amayankha mwaukali. Munthu wa anzake ambiri angadzawonongeke, koma pali bwenzi lomamatira kuposa m'bale.
