Kuli Aloma 4:1-25
4 Pakuti vili tetyo, kansi tilaŵile chinji vokhuza kolo yasu Abulahamu?
2 Mwachisanzo, kuti Abulahamu enzewonewa kuti ni wolungama chifukwa cha vinthu venzechita, sembe enkhala na chifukwa chomuchitisha kuti alitumbe, koma osati pamenso pa Mulungu.
3 Kansi pala Malemba onena chinji? Onena kuti: “Abulahamu ekhulupilila vechimuuja Yehova ndipo ewonewa kuti ni wolungama.”
4 Munthu wakata ntchito owonalini malipilo ŵake monga kuwama ntima kukulu, koma monga venzefunikila kulondela.*
5 Koma Mulungu wamene owona ŵanthu ochimwa kunkhala olungama owona kuti munthu wamene aliyekate ntchito, koma omukhulupilila, ni wolungama.
6 Davite enena za munthu wosangalala wamene Mulungu wakuwona kuti ni wolungama olo kuti vawachita vukatijanalini ngako-ngako na Chilamulo. Yove enena kuti:
7 “Osangalala ni ŵanthu amene akhululukiwa vochita vawo vosamvwila malamulo ndipo machimo ŵawo akhululukiwa.*
8 Wosangalala ni munthu wamene Yehova azakumbukilelini chimo yake.”
9 Lomba kansi ni ŵanthu ochitiwa mdulidwe ŵeka amene onkhala osangalala teti? Olo osachitiwa mdulidwe nawosoti onkhala osangalala? Pakuti tunena kuti: “Abulahamu ewonewa kuti ni wolungama chifukwa cha chikhulupililo chake.”
10 Koma kansi yove enze wotyani pa nthawe yechiwonewa kuti ni wolungama? Kansi enze wochitiwa mdulidwe olo wosachitiwa mdulidwe? Yove enze akaliyechitiwa mdulidwe.
11 Ndipo Mulungu epasa Abulahamu mdulidwe monga chizindikilo chuwonesha kuti Mulungu emuwona kuti ni wolungama akaliyechitiwa mdulidwe chifukwa cha chikhulupililo. Echita vamene ivi kuti azankhale tata wa onse osachitiwa mdulidwe amene ali na chikhulupililo, kuti ŵanthu amene awo azawonewe kuti ni olungama.
12 Kuti azankhalesoti tata wa ŵana ochitiwa mdulidwe, osati ochitiwa mdulidwe ŵeka amene awo, komasoti wa ŵala oyenda moyenela pokonkheja chikhulupililo chenze nacho atata ŵasu Abulahamu akaliyechitiwa mdulidwe.
13 Chifukwa Abulahamu olo mbadwa* zake aliyelonjezewe kuti azalondele chalo monga chuma chawo chifukwa cha Chilamulo yayi. Elondela lonjezo yamene iyo chifukwa chakuti Abulahamu enze na chikhulupililo ndipo Mulungu emuwona kuti ni wolungama.
14 Chifukwa keno ŵanthu amene okonkheja mphela Chilamulo niye akuti azalondele chuma chamene icho, niye kuti chikhulupililo chiliyesoti ntchito ndipo lonjezo yala yachosewa.
15 Chendi chake n’chakuti, kufwaya Chilamulo kuchitisha kuti munthu alondele chilango, koma paliye lamulo, paliyesoti kuphoniya.
16 N’chifukwa chake yove epasiwa lonjezo yamene iyo chifukwa cha chikhulupililo, kuti inkhale yokatijana na kuwama ntima kukulu. Komasoti epasiwa lonjezo yamene iyo kuti inkhale yosimikijika kuli ŵanthu onse amene ni mbadwa* zake, osati okonkheja Chilamulo ŵeka, komasoti okonkheja chikhulupililo cha Abulahamu wamene ni tata wa tonse.
17 (Vamene ivi n’vokatijana na vakunena Malemba kuti: “Nakusankha kuti unkhale tata wa mitundu inyinji.”) Ivi venze tetyo pamenso pa Mulungu wenzekhulupilila Abulahamu, wamenesoti ousha akufwa ndipo onena za vinthu vamene paliye monga kuti vilipo.
18 Abulahamu enze na chiyembekezo komasoti chikhulupililo chakuti azankhale tata wa mitundu inyinji, olo kuti vamene ivi venzewoneka monga ni vosakwanishika. Ekhulupilila vamene ivi mokatijana na vinenewa kuti: “Umu niye mwazikuti zizankhalile mbadwa* zako.”
19 Komasoti, olo kuti chikhulupililo chake chiliyefoke, enzeganizila za muŵili wake, wamene pa nthawe yamene iyo wenze monga ni wakufwa (pakuti enze na vyaka pafupi-fupi 100). Enzeziŵasoti kuti Sala ni wokalamba ngako ndipo angakwanishelini kuvyala mwana.
20 Koma chifukwa cha lonjezo ya Mulungu, chikhulupililo chake chiliye nyang’anyike ndipo chikhulupililo chake chamene icho chimupasa mphamvu mwakuti epeleka ulemelelo kwa Mulungu.
21 Yove enzekaikilalini kuti vechilonjeza Mulungu enze na mphamvu yovichita.
22 Tetyo “Mulungu emuwona kuti ni wolungama.”
23 Koma lomba, mawu akuti, “Mulungu emuwona kuti ni wolungama” aliyelembele yove yeka.
24 Elembelasoti sewo. Nase tuwonewasoti kuti nise olungama chifukwa tukhulupilila Mulungu wamene eusha Yesu Ambuye wasu.
25 Yesu epelekewa chifukwa cha machimo ŵasu ndipo eushiwa kuti tiwonewe olungama.
