1-3. (a) Kasi Yesu wakachita wuli ŵanalume ŵaŵiri ŵachibulumutira ŵati ŵamupempha kuti waŵawovwire? (b) Kasi mazgu ghakuti “chitima chikamukora” ghakung’anamurachi? (Wonani mazgu ghamusi.)

 ŴANALUME ŵaŵiri ŵachibulumutira ŵakakhala musi mu msewu, kuwaro kwa Yeriko. Zuŵa lililose ŵakizanga pa malo agha, apo ŵanthu ŵakatemwanga kujumpha, ndipo ŵakapempheskanga ndalama. Ndipouli, pa zuŵa ili, chinthu chinyake icho chikasinthirathu umoyo wawo chikaŵa pafupi kuchitika.

² Mwamabuchi, ŵakupempheska ŵara ŵakapulika chiwawa. Chifukwa chakuti ŵakawonanga yayi, yumoza wawo wakafumba ivyo vikachitikanga, ndipo ŵakaŵaphalira kuti: “Yesu Munazarete wakujumpha!” Yesu wakajumphanga kuya ku Yerusalemu kaumaliro. Kweni wakaŵa yekha yayi, mizinda yikuru yikamulondezganga. Ŵati ŵamanya kuti ni Yesu uyo wakajumphanga, ŵakupempheska ŵara ŵakamba kuchemerezga kuti: “Fumu, Mwana wa Davide, mutilengere lusungu!” Mizinda yikakwiya ndipo yikaŵaphalira kuti ŵakhale chete. Kweni ŵanalume ŵara ŵakakhumbisiska chomene kuti Yesu waŵawovwire. Ntheura ŵakaleka yayi kuchemerezga.

³ Yesu wakaŵapulika ŵakuchemerezga mukati mwa mzinda. Kasi wakachita vichi? Pa nyengo yira wakaghanaghananga vinandi chomene. Wakaŵa pafupi kwamba sabata yaumaliro ya umoyo wake pa charu chapasi. Wakamanyanga kuti wamusuzgika na kufwa nyifwa yakuŵinya mu Yerusalemu. Ndipouli, wakaŵazerezga yayi awo ŵakachemerezganga. Wakayima na kuyowoya kuti awo ŵakachemerezganga ŵize kwa iyo. Iwo ŵakamuŵeya kuti: “Fumu, julani maso ghithu.” “Yesu wakachita chitima, wakakhwaska maso ghawo ndipo nyengo yeneyiyo  ŵakambaso kuwona.” a Ndipo ŵakamba kumulondezga.—Luka 18:35-43; Mateyu 20:29-34.

4. Kasi Yesu wakafiska wuli uchimi wakuti iyo “wazamuchitira chitima wakuyuyuka na mukavu”?

⁴ Ni apa pera yayi apo Yesu wakalongora chiwuravi. Nyengo zinandi ndiposo pa vyakuchitika vyakupambanapambana, Yesu wakachiskikanga kulongora chiwuravi. Uchimi wa mu Baibolo ukayowoyerathu kuti “wazamuchitira chitima wakuyuyuka na mukavu.” (Salimo 72:13) Mwakuyana na mazgu agha, Yesu wakakhwaskikanga nadi para ŵanthu ŵasangana na masuzgo. Wakachitangapo kanthu kuti waŵawovwire. Wakapharazganga chifukwa cha chiwuravi. Tiyeni tiwone umo mabuku gha Mateyu, Mariko, Luka, na Yohane ghakuvumbulira kuti Yesu wakayowoyanga na kuchita vinthu chifukwa cha chiwuravi kweniso umo nase tingalongolera chiwuravi.

5, 6. Ni vinthu wuli ivyo vikulongora kuti Yesu wakaŵa wachiwuravi?

⁵ Yesu wakaŵa na chiwuravi chomene. Wakamanyanga na kughanaghanira umo ŵanthu ŵakusuzgika ŵakajipulikiranga. Nangauli vinyake ivyo vikaŵachitikiranga iyo vikamuchitikirapo yayi, kweni wakakwenyeleranga chomene chifukwa cha vyakuŵinya ivyo ŵakaŵanga navyo. (Ŵahebere 4:15) Apo wakachizganga mwanakazi uyo wakasuzgika na nthenda ya kusulura ndopa kwa vyaka 12, Yesu wakayowoya kuti uwu ukaŵa “ulwari wakofya,” kulongora kuti wakamanyanga kuti nthenda yira yikamutambuzga chomene mwanakazi yura. (Mariko 5:25-34) Wati wawona Mariya na awo wakaŵa nawo ŵakulira chifukwa cha nyifwa ya Lazaro, Yesu nayo chitima chikamukora mwakuti  wakasuzgika chomene mu mtima wake. Nangauli wakamanyanga kuti wamuwuskenge Lazaro, kweni Yesu wakakhwaskika chomene ndipo wakathiska masozi.—Yohane 11:33, 35.

⁶ Nyengo yinyake, munthu wavyoni wakiza kwa Yesu na kumuŵeya kuti: “Usange mukukhumba, munganitozga.” Kasi Yesu, uyo wakaŵa munthu wakufikapo, uyo wakalwarapo yayi, wakachita wuli? Wakamulengera lusungu wavyoni. Nadi, “chitima chikamukora.” (Mariko 1:40-42) Kufuma apo, wakachita chinthu chapadera. Wakamanyanga makora kuti Dango likatenge ŵavyoni mbakufipirwa ndipo ŵakeneranga kukhala kutali na ŵanji. (Levitiko 13:45, 46) Yesu wakaŵa na nkhongono kuchizga munthu uyu kwambura kumukhwaska. (Mateyu 8:5-13) Ndipouli, wakasankha kunyoloska woko lake na kukhwaska wavyoni, wakati: “Nkhukhumba. Tozgeka.” Nyengo yeneyiyo, vyoni vikamara. Apa napo, Yesu wakalongora chiwuravi chikuru nadi!

7. Ntchivichi chingatovwira kuti tiŵe na chiwuravi, ndipo tingalongora wuli chiwuravi?

⁷ Pakuŵa Ŵakhristu, tikuchiskika kuti tiŵenge na chiwuravi nga ni Yesu. Baibolo likutichiska kuti ‘tilengeranenge chitima.’ b (1 Petrosi 3:8) Ntchipusu yayi kumanya umo ŵanthu awo ŵakulwara matenda ghambura kukonda munkhwala panji ŵakusuzgika maghanoghano ŵakujipulikira, chomenechomene usange ise vindatichitikirepo. Kweni kumbukani kuti chiwuravi chikuthemba kuti nase vitichitikirepo dankha yayi. Yesu wakalongora chiwuravi ku ŵalwari nangauli iyo wakalwarapo yayi. Ipo kasi tingachita wuli kuti tiŵe na chiwuravi? Tingachita nthena usange tikutegherezga mwakuzika para munthu wakusuzgika wakutiphalira vyakusingo na umo wakujipulikira. Tingajifumba kuti, ‘Kasi niŵenge ine, mphanyi nangujipulika wuli?’ (1 Ŵakorinte 12:26) Usange tingamanya makora umo ŵanji ŵakujipulikira, tiyowoyenge mwakupembuzga kwa “awo ŵakusuzgika maghanoghano.” (1 Ŵatesalonika 5:14) Nyengo  zinyake, tingalongora chiwuravi na mazgu pera yayi, kweni tingalongoraso na masozi. Lemba la Ŵaroma 12:15 likuti: “Lirani na ŵanthu awo ŵakulira.”

8, 9. Kasi Yesu wakalongora wuli kuti wakaghanaghaniranga umo ŵanji ŵakajipulikiranga?

⁸ Yesu wakaghanaghaniranga ŵanthu, ndipo wakachitanga vinthu mwakughanaghanira umo ŵakajipulikiranga. Kumbukani ivyo wakachita apo ŵanthu ŵakiza kwa iyo na munthu wakumangwa kweniso wakutondeka kuyowoya. Yesu wakwenera kuti wakawona kuti munthu yura wakaŵa wakufwatuka yayi, ntheura wakachita chinthu chinyake icho kanandi wakachitanga yayi para wakuchizga ŵanthu. Wakamutolera “kumphepete kutali na mzinda.” Ŵati ŵaŵa paŵekha kwambura mzinda, Yesu wakamuchizga munthu yura.—Mariko 7:31-35.

⁹ Ndimo Yesu wakachitiraso apo ŵanthu ŵakiza na munthu wachibulumutira na kupempha kuti wamuchizge. “Yesu wakatolera munthu yura kumphepete kutali na mzinda.” Kufuma apo, wakamuchizga munthu yura mwapachokopachoko. Panji ichi chikawovwira kuti wongo na maso gha munthu yura visinthenge pachokopachoko chifukwa cha ivyo wakamba kuwona kweniso ungweru. (Mariko 8:22-26) Yesu wakaghanaghaniranga nadi ŵanthu.

10. Kasi tingalongora wuli kuti tikughanaghanira umo ŵanji ŵakujipulikira?

¹⁰ Pakuti tili ŵalondezgi ŵa Yesu tikwenera kughanaghanira umo ŵanji ŵakujipulikira. Ntheura tikuŵa maso na kayowoyero kithu, chifukwa tikumanya kuti kayowoyero kambura kwenelera kangakhuŵazga ŵanyithu. (Zintharika 12:18; 18:21) Ŵakhristu ŵakwenera yayi kuyowoya mazgu ghankhaza, ghakunyoza, kweniso ghakujokora, chifukwa ŵakughanaghanira  umo ŵanji ŵakujipulikira. (Ŵaefeso 4:31) Kasi ŵalara mungalongora wuli kuti mukughanaghanira umo ŵanji ŵakujipulikira? Para mukupeleka ulongozgi, yowoyani mwalusungu, mupani ntchindi uyo wakupulikizga. (Ŵagalatiya 6:1) Ŵapapi, kasi mungalongora wuli kuti mukughanaghanira umo ŵana ŵinu ŵakujipulikira? Para mukulanga mwana winu, lekani kumulanga mu nthowa yakuti mumukhozge soni.—Ŵakolose 3:21.

11, 12. Ni nkhani wuli za mu Baibolo izo zikulongora kuti Yesu wakachitanga kupempheka dankha yayi kuti walongore chiwuravi ku ŵanji?

¹¹ Yesu wakalongoranga chiwuravi para ŵanthu ŵamupempha pera yayi. Nakuti chiwuravi ni mukhaliro uwo ukutuma munthu kuchitapo kanthu. Ntheura, Yesu wakawovwiranga ŵanthu chifukwa chakuti wakaŵa na chiwuravi. Mwachiyelezgero, mzinda ukuru ukati wakhala nayo mazuŵa ghatatu kwambura kurya, pakaŵavya uyo wakaphalira Yesu kuti ŵanthu ŵali na njara panji kumupempha kuti wachitepo kanthu. Nkhani iyi yikuti: “Yesu wakachema ŵasambiri ŵake, wakati: ‘Nili na chitima na mzinda, chifukwa ŵakhala nane mazuŵa ghatatu kweni ŵalije chakuti ŵarye. Nkhukhumba yayi kuŵawezga na njara chifukwa ŵangalenduka pa nthowa.’” Kufuma apo, wakalyeska mzinda mwamunthondwe kwambura kupempheka.—Mateyu 15:32-38.

¹² Wonaniso nkhani yinyake. Mu 31 C.E., apo Yesu wakasendeleranga ku msumba wa Nayini, wakawona chinthu chakuchitiska chitima. Ŵanthu awo ŵakayegha nyifwa ŵakafumanga mu msumba, panji ŵakalutanga ku malaro ghapafupi musi mwa phiri, kukasunga ‘mwana mwanalume yumoza pera wa chokoro.’ Ghanaghanirani waka umo mama yura mtima wake ukaswekera. Wakalutanga kukasunga mwana wake yumoza pera, ndipo wakaŵavya mfumu wake. Pa ŵanthu wose awo ŵakaŵa para, Yesu maso ghake ghakaŵa pa chokoro, icho pa nyengo yira chikaŵavya mwana. Ivyo wakawona vikamukhwaska  chomene, ndipo ‘wakamuchitira chitima’ mama yura. Pakaŵavya uyo wakamupempha Yesu. Chiwuravi chikamutuma kuti wachitepo kanthu. Ntheura “wakasendelera pafupi na kukhwaska machira,” na kumuwuska munyamata yura. Ntchivichi icho Yesu wakachita kufuma apa? Yesu wakamupempha yayi munyamata yura kuti wendenge nayo. Kweni “wakamupeleka kwa nyina,” kuti wakhalenge nawo na kuŵawovwira.—Luka 7:11-15.

13. Kasi tingayezga wuli Yesu pakovwira awo ŵakusoŵerwa?

¹³ Kasi ise tingamuyezga wuli Yesu? Ise tingalyeska yayi ŵanthu mwamunthondwe nesi kuwuska awo ŵafwa. Ndipouli, tingayezga Yesu usange tikuchitapo kanthu kovwira awo ŵakusoŵerwa. Mkhristu munyithu wangaŵavya ndalama panji ntchito yingamumalira. (1 Yohane 3:17) Nyumba ya chokoro yingakhumbikwira kuyinozga mwaluŵiro. (Yakobe 1:27) Panji tingamanya mbumba yinyake iyo yikukhumbikwira kupembuzgika panji wovwiri chifukwa chakuti mubali wawo wali kufwa. (1 Ŵatesalonika 5:11) Apo mphakukhumbikwira nadi kuti tovwirepo, tikwenera kulindilira kuti ŵatipemphe dankha yayi. (Zintharika 3:27) Chiwuravi chititumenge kuti tichitepo kanthu kuti tovwirepo, mwakuyana na umo tingakwaniskira. Tingaluwanga yayi kuti para tikuchitira ŵanji lusungu nanga pangaŵa pa tunthu tuchoko panji kuŵasanguluska na mazgu ghachoko waka ghakufumira pasi pa mtima, ndikuti tikulongora kuti tili na chiwuravi.—Ŵakolose 3:12.

14. Chifukwa wuli Yesu wakadangizganga mulimo wa kupharazga makani ghawemi?

¹⁴ Nga umo tikawonera mu Chigaŵa 2 cha buku ili, Yesu wakaŵa chakuwonerapo chiwemi pakupharazga makani ghawemi. Iyo wakati: ‘Nkhwenera kupharazga makani ghawemi gha ufumu wa Chiuta, pakuti ndicho nkhatumikira.’ (Luka 4:43) Chifukwa wuli Yesu wakadangizganga mulimo uwu? Chifukwa chikuru ntchakuti wakatemwanga Chiuta. Kweni pakaŵaso chinthu chinyake: Chifukwa cha chiwuravi chikuru icho wakaŵa nacho, Yesu wakakhuŵilizgika kuti wawovwire ŵanji  mwauzimu. Pa nthowa zose izo Yesu wakalongolera chiwuravi, palije iyo njakuzirwa chomene kujumpha kovwira ŵanthu awo ŵakaŵa na njara yauzimu. Tiyeni tiwone vyakuchitika viŵiri ivyo vikulongora umo Yesu wakawoneranga ŵanthu awo wakaŵapharazgiranga. Ivyo tiwonenge apa vingatovwira kuti nase tisande vifukwa ivyo tikupharazgira.

15, 16. Longosorani vyakuchitika viŵiri ivyo vikulongora umo Yesu wakawoneranga ŵanthu awo wakaŵapharazgiranga.

¹⁵ Mu 31 C.E., Yesu wati walimbikira kupharazga pafupifupi vyaka viŵiri, iyo wakamba “kwendera misumba yose na mizi” mu Galileya. Ivyo wakawona vikamukhwaska chomene. Mpositole Mateyu wakuti: “Wakati wawona mizinda, wakayilengera chitima, chifukwa ŵakaŵa ŵakufyopoka na kujowoleka nga ni mberere zambura muliska.” (Mateyu 9:35, 36) Yesu wakaŵalengeranga lusungu ŵanthu bweka. Wakamanya kuti ŵakaŵa ŵakusoŵerwa mwauzimu. Wakamanyanga kuti ŵakayuzgikanga na kujowoleka na ŵalongozgi ŵa chisopa, ŵanthu awo ŵakeneranga kuŵaliska. Chifukwa cha chiwuravi, Yesu wakalimbikira kuti waŵaphalire ŵanthu aŵa uthenga wa chigomezgo. Ŵanthu aŵa ŵakakhumbikwiranga chomene makani ghawemi gha Ufumu wa Chiuta.

 ¹⁶ Vyanthena ivi vikazakachitikaso pati pajumpha myezi yichoko waka, apo Paska la mu 32 C.E. likaŵa pafupi kuchitika. Pa nyengo iyi, Yesu na ŵapositole ŵake ŵakakwera boti na kwambukira sirya linyake la Nyanja ya Galileya kuti ŵakapumurepo. Kweni mzinda wa ŵanthu ukachimbira mumphepete mwa nyanja ndipo ndiwo ukadankha kufika. Kasi Yesu wakachita wuli? “Apo wakakhiranga mu boti, wakawona mzinda ukuru, ndipo wakawulengera chitima, chifukwa ŵakaŵa nga ni mberere zambura muliska. Ndipo wakamba kuŵasambizga vinthu vinandi.” (Mariko 6:31-34) Apa napo, Yesu “chitima chikamukora” chifukwa chakuti ŵanthu ŵakaŵa ŵakavu mwauzimu. Nga ni “mberere zambura muliska,” ŵakaŵa na njara yauzimu ndipo ŵakajipenjeranga ŵekha chakurya. Yesu wakaŵapharazgira chifukwa cha chiwuravi, kuti wakachitanga mwadango waka yayi.

17, 18. (a) Ntchivichi chikutituma kuti tipharazgenge? (b) Kasi tingachita wuli kuti tilongorenge chiwuravi ŵanyithu?

¹⁷ Kasi ntchivichi chikutituma kuti tipharazgenge? Nga umo tikawonera mu mutu 9 wa buku ili, tili kupika mulimo wakupharazga na kuzgora ŵanthu kuŵa ŵasambiri. (Mateyu 28:19, 20; 1 Ŵakorinte 9:16) Kweni tikuchita mulimo uwu mwadango waka yayi. Chakuzirwa chomene ntchakuti tikutemwa Yehova, lekani tikupharazga makani ghawemi gha Ufumu. Kweniso tikupharazga chifukwa chakuti tikuchitira chitima awo ŵakuwumanya makora yayi unenesko wa mu Baibolo. (Mariko 12:28-31) Ipo kasi tingachita wuli kuti tilongorenge chiwuravi ŵanyithu?

¹⁸ Tikwenera kuwona ŵanthu umo Yesu wakaŵawoneranga, kuti ‘mbakufyopoka na kujowoleka nga ni mberere zambura muliska.’ Yelezgerani kuti mwasanga kamberere ako kazgeŵa. Kamberere aka kali na njara kweniso nyota chifukwa palije muliska wakuti wakalongozgere ku utheka uwemi na maji. Kasi chitima chingamukorani yayi na kamberere aka? Kasi mungayezgayezga yayi kuti mukape chakurya na maji? Kamberere aka kakuyana waka na ŵanthu ŵanandi awo ŵachali ŵandamanye  makani ghawemi. Ŵanthu aŵa ŵali na njara na nyota yauzimu kweniso ŵalije chigomezgo cha munthazi, chifukwa chakuti ŵaliska ŵatesi ŵa visopa ŵakuŵapwelelera yayi. Kweni ise tili navyo ivyo ŵanthu aŵa ŵakukhumbikwira: chakurya chiwemi chauzimu ndiposo maji ghakuzizima gha unenesko uwo ukusangika mu Mazgu gha Chiuta. (Yesaya 55:1, 2) Para tikughanaghanira ivyo ŵanthu ŵakukhumbikwira mwauzimu, tikuŵalengera lusungu. Usange nase tikulengera ŵanthu chitima nga ni Yesu, tichitenge vyose ivyo tingafiska kuti tiŵaphalireko vya Ufumu.

19. Kasi tingachita wuli kuti tichiske msambiri wa Baibolo kuti wambe kupharazga na mpingo?

¹⁹ Kasi tingawovwira wuli ŵanthu kuti ŵayezgenge Yesu? Tiyelezgere kuti mukukhumba kuchiska msambiri wa Baibolo uyo ngwakwenelera kuti wambe kupharazga na mpingo. Panyake mukukhumba kovwira mupharazgi wakulopwa kuti wambeso kuchita uteŵeti mwakukwana. Kasi tingaŵawovwira wuli ŵanthu ŵanthena? Tikwenera kuŵafika pa mtima. Kumbukani kuti chakwamba Yesu ‘chitima chikamukoranga’ chifukwa cha ŵanthu, ndipo wakaŵasambizganga. (Mariko 6:34) Ntheura usange tingaŵawovwira kuŵa na chiwuravi, tiŵawovwirenge kuti nawo ŵaŵe nga Yesu na kuphalirako ŵanyawo makani ghawemi. Tingaŵafumba kuti: “Kasi umoyo winu uli kusintha wuli chifukwa chakuti mukazomera uthenga wa Ufumu? Mukuŵawona wuli ŵanthu awo ŵachali ŵandawumanye uthenga uwu, kasi nawo ŵakukhumbikwira makani ghawemi yayi? Kasi mungachitachi kuti muŵawovwire?” Kweni chinthu chikuru  icho chikutituma kuti tipharazgenge nkhutemwa Chiuta kweniso khumbo lakuti timuteŵetere.

20. (a) Kasi chikukhumbikwa ntchivichi pakuŵa mulondezgi wa Yesu? (b) Kasi tizamusambira vichi mu mutu wakulondezgapo?

²⁰ Pali vinandi ivyo vikukhumbikwa pakuŵa mulondezgi wa Yesu kuluska kuphalira waka ŵanji ivyo wakasambizganga na kuchita vinthu nga ndiyo, kuti waka ŵanthu ŵatiwone. Tikwenera kuŵa na “maghanoghano” agho iyo wakaŵa nako. (Ŵafilipi 2:5) Ntheura, tikuwonga chomene kuti Baibolo likutivumbulira umo mazgu gha Yesu na vyakuchita vyake vikalongolera kaghanaghaniro kake kweniso umo wakajipulikiranga. Para taghamanya makora “maghanoghano gha Khristu,” tiŵenge na chiwuravi, ndipo tichitenge vinthu na ŵanji nga umo Yesu wakachitiranga. (1 Ŵakorinte 2:16) Mu mutu wakulondezgapo, tiwonenge nthowa zakupambanapambana izo Yesu wakalongolera chitemwa, chomenechomene ku ŵalondezgi ŵake.
