Onani mwayuwoneshela Baibolo kuti moyo wa munthu kuti ni munthu wamphumbulu

Adamu aliye londele mzimu—koma yove “enkhala mzimu wa moyo”

Yehova Mulungu pechilenga munthu woyambilila Adamu, Baibolo yunena kuti “munthu wamene uyo enkhala na moyo.” (Genesis 2:7, King James Version) Adamu aliye pasiwe mzimu—yove enkhala mzimu wa moyo kapena kuti, munthu ngaye-ngaye.
Baibolo yunena kuti mzimu ungakwanishe kukata ntchito, kukumbwila, kulya, kumwvila malamulo, kukhuza chinthu chodesewa. (Levitiko 5:2; 7:20; 23:30; Deuteronomo 12:20; Aroma 13:1) Vochitika vonse vamene ivi vukhuza munthu ngaye-ngaye.

Kansi mzimu ukufwalini?

Yayi, mzimu ungakwanishe kufwa. Mavesi anyinji a m’Baibolo onena kuti mzimu ukufwa. Tiyeni tiwone visanzo:

“Moyo wamene uyo wochimwa, niye ukufwa.”—Ezekieli 18:4, 20, King James Version.
Mu Isiraeli wakale, chilango chikulu chenze chakuti “mzimu wamene uyo uzapayiwe).” (Ekisodo 12:15, 19; Levitiko 7:20, 21, 27; 19:8, King James Version) Munthu wamene uyo “apayiwe.”—Ekisodo 31:14, King James Version.
Munthu akafwa, mawu akuti “moyo wakufwa” okatishiliwa ntchito ponena za ntembo m’mavesi ayakine a m’Baibolo. (Levitiko 21:11, mawu a m’nyansi; Numeri 6:6, mawu a m’nyansi) Olo kuti ma Baibolo anyinji okatishila ntchito mawu akuti “muŵili wakufwa” kapena kuti “munthu wakufwa m’mavesi amene awo, Chiheberi choyambilila chukatishila ntchito mawu akuti neʹphesh, olo kuti “moyo.”

“Mzimu” ungatanthauze “moyo”

Baibolo yukatishila soti ntchito mawu akuti “mzimu” ponena za “moyo.” Mwachisanzo, pa Yobu 33:22 okatishila ntchito mawu a Chiheberi akuti “mzimu” (neʹphesh) kulinganija na “moyo.” Molingana na vamene ivi, Baibolo yuwonesha kuti mzimu, kapena kuti moyo wa munthu, ungankhale pangozi .—Ekisodo 4:19; Oweruza 9:17; Afilipi 2:30.

Kukatishila ntchito mawu akuti “moyo” kutiyavya kumvwisha mavesi amene onena kuti mzimu “ufuma” kapena kuti “kuchokamo.” (Genesis 35:18; King James Version) Kulingana kwamene uku kuwonesha kuti moyo wa munthu ungasile. Mabaibolo ayakine omasulila mawu amene aŵa pa Genesis 35:18 kuti “echifwa.”—Good News Translation; New Jerusalem Bible.

Kwachuchokela chikhulupililo chakuti mzimu ukufwalini

Matchetchi Achikhilisitu amene okhulupilila kuti mzimu ukufwalini otola viphunziso vamene ivi, osati kufumila m’Baibolo, koma ku nzelu zakale-kale za Agiriki. Buku ya Encyclopædia Britannica yunena kuti: “Mawumboni a m’Baibolo onena za mzimu okatijana na lingalilo ya umphuye ndipo osiyanishalini pakati pa mzimu wa moyo na muŵili wa nyama. Maganizo Achikhilisitu akuyaŵanikana kwa muŵili na moyo eyambila kuli Agiriki akale.”

Mulungu olekelelalini kuti viphunziso vake vikopamikijiwa na nzelu za ŵanthu, monga kukhulupilila kuti mzimu ukufwalini. M’malo mwake, Baibolo yuchenjeja kuti: “Samalani payakine muyakine angakukateni monga ni nyama mwa nzelu za ŵanthu na chinyengo chatyala-tyala.”—Akolose 2:8.
