Kuli Aloma 9:1-33
9 Nulaŵila chendi mokatijana na Khilisitu, nutalalini wenye yayi. Ndipo chikumbuntima changu chunichitila umboni mwa mzimu utuŵa,
2 kuti nikumvwa chisoni ngako ndipo ntima uniŵaŵa nthawe zonse.
3 Sembe vankhala luweme kuli newo kuti nisiyanishiwe na Khilisitu monga munthu wotembelelewa mmalo mwa enekwangu, ŵanthu a ntundu wangu,
4 amene ni Aisilaeli. Mulungu eŵatola kuti ankhale ŵana ŵake ndipo eŵapasa ulemelelo, mapangano, Chilamulo, utumiki wopatulika komasoti malonjezo.
5 Ove ni ŵana a makolo ŵasu akale. Komasoti Khilisitu evyalika monga munthu kufumila kuli ove. Mulungu wamene ni nkulu pa vinthu vonse, atamandike mpaka kale-kale. Ame.
6 Koma olo n’tetyo vutanthauzalini kuti mawu a Mulungu aliyekwanilishiwe. Chifukwa ni ŵanthulini onse amene ali ku Isilaeli amene ni ŵana chendi a “Aisilaeli.”
7 Komasoti ni onselini mwa ove amene ni ŵana chendi tyala chifukwa chakuti ni mbadwa* za Abulahamu. Koma Malemba onena kuti: “Mbadwa* zenikulonjeza zizafumile mwa Isaki.”
8 Ivi vuwonesha kuti ŵana ovyalika mwa kuthupi ŵa Abulahamu, ni ŵanalini chendi a Mulungu, mmalo mwake ŵana ovyalika chifukwa cha lonjezo ya Mulungu niye owonewa kuti ni mbadwa* ngazo-ngazo.
9 Pakuti Mulungu epeleka iyi lonjezo yakuti: “Nthawe monga ni yamene ino, chaka chikuza nizawelesoti, ndipo Sala azankhale na mwana mwanalume.”
10 Lonjezo yamene iyo iliyepelekewe pa nthawe yamene iyi yeka. Ipelekewasoti pa nthawe yamene Labeka enzeyembekezela kuvyala ŵana amphundu a Isaki yala kolo yasu.
11 Amphundu amene awo akaliyevyalika, komasoti akaliyechita chilichonse chiweme olo chiipa, Mulungu ewonesha kuti cholinga chake chizadalile yove wamene niye oita, osati vochita va munthu.
12 Tetyo euja Labeka kuti: “Nkulu azankhale wantchito kuli ntontho.”
13 Mokatijana na vakunena Malemba kuti: “Nikonda Yakobo, koma Esau nimukana.”
14 Lomba tinene kuti tyani pamene apa? Kansi Mulungu aliye chilungamo? Yayi n’tetyolini.
15 Chifukwa yove euja Mose kuti: “Wala wanufuna kumuwamila ntima, nizamuwamile ntima, ndipo wala wanufuna kumuwonesha chifundo, nizamuwoneshe chifundo.”
16 Tetyo vudalilalini kufuna kwa munthu olo khama yake,* koma Mulungu wamene ni wachifundo.
17 Polaŵila za Falawo, lemba iyakine inena kuti: “Nakusiya na moyo kuti ni kuwoneshe mphamvu zangu komasoti kuti zina yangu ilengezewe pa chalo chonse.”
18 Tetyo yove ochitila chifundo munthu wala wafuna kumuchitila chifundo, koma olola ŵanthu ayakine kuti ayumishe mitima yawo.
19 Payakine unganiuje kuti: “Ndaŵa yanji Mulungu opitilija mphela kupezela vifukwa ŵanthu? Kansi niŵani oshusha vakufuna yove?”
20 Wewo munthuwe, niwe ŵani kuti ukoyankhana na Mulungu? Kansi chinthu choumbiwa chingauje munthu echiumba kuti, “Winipangilanji teti?”
21 Kansi muziŵalini kuti munthu oumba nongo ali na ufulu woumba chinthu chiyakine cha ntchito yolemekezeka, chiyakine cha ntchito yonyozeka kufumila pa lito imozi?
22 Lomba tyani keno Mulungu efuna kuti awoneshe ukali wake kuti mphamvu zake ziziŵike ndipo eŵalekelela moleza ntima ngako ŵanthu ofunikila kuwonongeka amene emukalipisha?*
23 Komasoti tyani keno echita vamene ivo kuti awoneshe kukula kwa ulemelelo wake kuli ŵanthu ofunikila kuŵachitila chifundo,* amene eŵakonzelatu kuti alondele ulemelelo,
24 ndipo ŵanthu ŵake nisewo amene etiita osati kufumila tyala kuli Ayuda ŵeka, komasoti ku mitundu iyakine?
25 Vulinganasoti na vechinena m’buku ya Hoseya kuti: “Ŵanthu amene ni ŵangulini nizaŵaite kuti ‘ŵanthu ŵangu,’ ndipo mwanakazi wamene enzekondewalini nizamuite kuti ‘wapantima pangu.’
26 Kwala kwenzeujiwa kuti, ‘Nimwelini ŵanthu ŵangu,’ azaujiwe kuti, ‘Nimwe ŵana a Mulungu wamoyo.’”
27 Komasoti, Yesaya elengeza vokhuza Isilaeli kuti: “Olo kuti ŵana a Isilaeli azankhale anyinji monga ni miseche yaku nyanja, ni atontho tyala akuti azapulumuke.
28 Chifukwa Yehova azaweluze milandu pano pa chalo noisilija mokulumija.”
29 Komasoti mokatijana na vechinenelatu Yesaya, “Yehova wa magulu ankhondo a kululu sembe kuti aliye tisiile mbadwa,* sembe tili monga ni Sodomu, ndipo sembe talingana na Gomola.”
30 Lomba pamene apa tinene kuti tyani? Olo kuti ŵanthu a mitundu iyakine aliyekonkheje chilungamo, ove efwana chilungamo chamene chuwela chifukwa cha chikhulupililo.
31 Koma olo kuti Aisilaeli enzekonkheja lamulo yachilungamo, ove aliyekwanishe kukonkheja lamulo yamene iyo.
32 Ndaŵa yanji? Chifukwa chakuti ove enzeganiza kuti angaikonkheje mu vochita vawo, osati mwa chikhulupililo. Ove ekhubulwa “pa mwala wokhubulwisha”
33 mokatijana na vakunena Malemba kuti: “Newo nuika mwala wokhubulwisha komasoti luŵambe yokalipisha mu Ziyoni, koma munthu wokhulupilila mwala wamene uyo azakalipelini.”
