Mawu a Yehova Ndi Amoyo

Mfundo Zazikulu za M’buku la Mlaliki

YOBU anati: “Munthu wobadwa ndi mkazi ngwa masiku owerengeka, nakhuta mavuto.” (Yobu 14:1) Ndi bwinotu kusawononga moyo wathu waufupiwu poganizira ndiponso kuchita zinthu zopanda ntchito. Koma kodi ndi zinthu zotani zimene tiyenera kutherapo nthawi yathu, mphamvu zathu, ndiponso zinthu zathu? Nanga ndi zinthu zotani zimene tiyenera kuzipewa? Mawu anzeru olembedwa m’buku la m’Baibulo la Mlaliki amapereka malangizo odalirika pa nkhaniyi. Uthenga wa m’malangizowa ‘umathanso kuzindikira malingaliro ndi zolinga za mtima’ ndipo ungatithandize kukhala ndi moyo wosangalatsa.​—Aheberi 4:12.

Buku la Mlaliki linalembedwa ndi Mfumu Solomo wa ku Isiraeli wakale, munthu wodziwika chifukwa cha nzeru zake, ndipo lili ndi malangizo othandiza munthu kudziwa zinthu zimene zili zopindulitsadi pa moyo ndi zimene zili zopanda phindu. Popeza kuti Solomo akutchula m’buku la Mlaliki za nyumba zina zimene anamanga, ayenera kuti analemba bukuli atamaliza kumanga nyumbazo koma asanapatuke pa kulambira koona. (Nehemiya 13:26) Izi zikutanthauza kuti analemba bukuli chaka cha 1000 B.C.E. chisanakwane, cha kumapeto kwa ulamuliro wake wa zaka 40.

KODI N’CHIYANI CHIMENE SICHILI CHACHABE?

(Mlaliki 1:1–6:12)

“Zonse ndi chabe,” anatero mlaliki, ndipo anafunsa kuti: “Kodi ntchito zake zonse munthu asauka nazo zim’pindulira chiyani? . . . Palibe kanthu katsopano pansi pano. Ndaona ntchito zonse zipangidwa kunja kuno; ndipo zonsezo ndi chabe ndi kungosautsa mtima.” (Mlaliki 1:2, 3, 9, 14) Mawu akuti “chabe” ndi “pansi pano” kapenanso “kunja kuno” amapezeka kambirimbiri m’buku la Mlaliki. Mawu a Chiheberi otanthauza kuti “chabe” kwenikweni amatanthauza “mpweya” kapena “nthunzi” ndipo amasonyeza kuti chinthucho n’chopanda ntchito, n’chosakhalitsa, kapena n’chosapindulitsa kwa nthawi yaitali. Mawu akuti “pansi pano” kapena “kunja kuno” amatanthauza “padziko lapansi pano” kapena “m’dzikoli.” Motero, zonse, kapena kuti zinthu zonse zimene anthu amachita mosaganizira chifuniro cha Mulungu, n’zachabe.

Solomo anati: “Samalira phazi lako popita ku nyumba ya Mulungu; [ndipo pakhale] kuyandikira kumvera.” (Mlaliki 5:1) Kuchita zinthu zokhudza kulambira koona kwa Yehova Mulungu si kwachabe. Kwenikweni, kuganizira za ubwenzi wathu ndi iye ndiyo njira yokhalira ndi moyo wopindulitsa.

Zinthu zake ndi dzuwa, kayendedwe ka mphepo, ndi kayendedwe ka madzi kobwerezabwereza. Kwenikweni, zinthu zochitika mobwerezabwereza m’chilengedwe n’zambiri, ndipo n’zovuta kwambiri kuzimvetsa. Munthu angathe moyo wake wonse akuzifufuza komabe osazimvetsa. Zimenezi zingakhaledi “zolemetsa.” Komanso n’zofooketsa kuyerekezera moyo wathu waufupiwu ndi kubwerezabwereza kosatha kwa kayendedwe ka zinthu zam’chilengedwezi. Ngakhale kuyesa kutulukira zinthu zatsopano n’kolemetsa.

Komabe pali chinthu chinanso chimene Yehova ‘achikongoletse’ posachedwapa. Chinthu chake ndicho dziko latsopano lolungama lomwe lifike panthawi yake yoyenera, ndipo tisakayike za zimenezi ayi.​—2 Petulo 3:13.

Kuti ilandire dzinthu dza m’munda mwake, mfumu iyenera kuthandizidwa ndi ntchito yolimba ya atumiki ake amene amalima mundawo.
