Komabe, samakhulupirira kuti Baibulo lili ndi mbiri yolondola, chotero amakana kuti siliri Mawu a Mulungu. Komabe, pali umboni wokwanira wosonyeza kulondola kwa Baibulo. Kobiri ili (m’chithunzi chachikulu) lili chitsanzo chabwino. Kodi malembowo akuti bwanji?

Kobirilo linasulidwa ku Tariso, mzinda wa kum’mwera koma chakum’maŵa kwa mbali yomwe tsopano ili Turkey. Kobirili linasulidwa muulamuliro wa kazembe Mazaeus wa ku Perisiya m’zaka za zana lachinayi B.C.E. Ilo limatchula iye kukhala kazembe wa dera la “Tsidya la Mtsinje,” kutanthauza mtsinje wa Firate.

Koma kodi nchifukwa ninji mawuwo ali okondweretsa? Chifukwa chakuti mudzapeza mawu ofananawo m’Baibulo lanu. Lemba la Ezara 5:6–6:13 limanena za kulemberana makalata kwa pakati pa Mfumu Dariyo ya Perisiya ndi kazembe wotchedwa Tatinai. Nkhani yake inali yonena za kumanganso kachisi wa ku Yerusalemu kwa Ayuda. Ezara anali mlembi waluntha m’Chilamulo cha Mulungu, ndipo mungamuyembekezere kukhala wachindunji, ndi wolondola m’zimene analemba. Mudzawona pa lemba la Ezara 5:6 ndi 6:13 kuti anatcha Tatinai kukhala “kazembe wa tsidya lino la mtsinjewo.”

Koma ngati mungakhulupirire olemba Baibulo pankhani zazing’ono choncho, kodi zimenezi siziyenera kuwonjezera chikhulupiriro chanu m’zinthu zinanso zimene analemba?

M’nkhani ziŵiri zoyambirira za m’kope lino, mudzapeza zifukwa zowonjezereka zokhalira ndi chikhulupiriro chimenecho.
