Tenepo, ndife wakudeka mtima, wa lufoyi na wakupirira na wanthu amwewa. Inde, tikudziwa kuti Yahova alibe kutipasa mphanvu yakucita bzakudabwisa. Koma ifepano tina mwayi wakufotokozera azimola wakuthupi ayai wauzimu mafala yabwino yakulewa bza paraizo yomwe wanthu omwe an’dzakhala m’mwemo an’dzakhala na manungo yabwino na moyo wabwino wauzimu.

Tsono, iwo angakhale akuba mu njira zinango.

Napo kuti lamulo lacisere limbandofotokoza bza kuba, nfundo zakuthimizirika zakugumanika m’bukhu la Mwambo zikhathandiza Adjuda kubvesesa momwe akhafunikira kuphatisa basa nfundo ikulu ya lamulo limweri. Ifepano tingagumane phindu tikakumbukira momwe Yahova ambaiwonera nkhani yakukhala wakusaya kulungama na kuba. Tin’funika kubzibvunza tekha kuti: ‘Mwakubverana na nfundo za pa Mwambo 19:11-13, kodi pana cinthu pa moyo wangu comwe ciri lini bwino? Kodi nin’funika kucinja momwe nimbacitira malonda yangu ayai momwe nimbaphatira basa?’

Mwambo 19:13 ambamaliza na kulewa kuti: “Munthu akakuphatira basa, kobiri yace ileke kukhala na iwepo mpaka mangwana yanzace.” Pa nkhani ya malimidwe mu nthawe ya Ajirayeri, anyabasa akhapasidwiratu kobiri zawo akamaliza kuphata basa ntsiku imweyo. Kuleka kupereka kobiri kuna nyabasa, kukhacitisa kuti iye asaye cakupasa banja lace ntsiku imweyo.

Pa nthawe inango Mfarizeu adabvunza Jezu kuti: “Kodi ndiponi lamulo likulu pa Malamulo yentse?” Jezu adamutawira kuti “lamulo likulu na lakuyamba” ni kufuna Yahova na mtima wathu wentse, moyo wathu wentse na nzeru zathu zentse. Patsogolo pace Jezu adalewa mafala ya pa Mwambo 19:18, yakuti: “Laciwiri lakundendemerana na limweri, ndakuti: ‘Umbafune mwanzako ninga momwe umbabzifunira wekha.’” (Mateu 22:35-40) Pana njira zizinji zakulatizira lufoyi kuna anzathu, tsono bwerani tiwone zinango mwa njirazo mwakuphatisa basa Mwambo kapitulo 19.

13. Kodi nkhani ya m’Bibliya yakulewa bza Zuze ikubverana tani na nfundo yomwe idanembedwa pa Mwambo 19:18?

Kumbukirani kuti abale wace khumi wa Zuze akhambamukoyera cakumtima, ndipo bzimwebzi bzidacitisa kuti iwo acite cinthu cakuipa kwene-kwene. (Ciyambo 37:2-8, 25-28) Koma Zuze adacita nawo bzinthu mu njira yakusiyana! Pomwe iye akhatonga, alibe kuwabwezera bzinthu bzakuipa bzomwe iwo adamucitira, koma adawabvera ntsisi. Zuze alibe kukoya cakumtima. Koma iye adacita bzinthu mwakubverana na malango yomwe yadanembedwa patsogolo pace pa Mwambo 19:18.—Ciyambo 50:19-21.

14. Kodi n’ciyani comwe cikulatiza kuti nfundo zakugumanika pa Mwambo 19:18 zikadaphata basa ntsiku zino?

¹⁴ Kulekerera abale wace komwe Zuze adacita mwa kuleka kuwakoyera cakumtima, kumbalatiza bzomwe Akristau an’funika kucita kuti Mulungu akomedwe nawo. Bzimwebzi bzikubveranambo na mpembo wa ciratizo wa Jezu, pomwe adatilimbikisa kumbalekerera omwe ambatiphonyera. (Mateu 6:9, 12) Ndipo mwakubverana na bzimwebzi, mpostolo Paulo adauza abale wace wacikristau kuti: “Abale wangu wakufunidwa, lekani kubwezera cakuipa.” (Aroma 12:19) Ndipo iye adawalimbikisambo kuti: “Pitirizani kupirirana na kulekererana na mtima wentse, napo penu munayo mathangwe yakukhalira wakukalipa.” (Akolose 3:13) Nfundo za makhalidwe yabwino za Yahova zimbacinja lini. Nfundo za lamulo limweri lomwe lidanembedwa pa Mwambo 19:18 zikadaphata basa ntsiku zino.

15. Kodi kuleka kumbakumbukira bzomwe taphonyeredwa tingakundendemezere na ciyani?

¹⁵ Onani ciratizo ici: Kuwawidwa mu mtima kungandendemezeredwe na bzironda. Bzironda bzinango bzimbakhala bzing’ono; pomwe bzinango bzimbakhala bzikulu. Mwa ciratizo, pomwe tikufungula envelope, tsamba lomwe liri mkati lingaticeke pa cala cathu. Tingabve kuwawa, koma kuwawako kungalekeze mwakamfulumize. Pambuyo pa ntsiku ibodzi ayai ntsiku ziwiri tingakumbukire lini mbuto yomwe tidabzicekayo. Mwakundendemerana na bzimwebzi, bzinthu bzinango bzomwe wanthu angatiphonyere bzingakhale bzing’ono. Mwa ciratizo, xamwali wathu angalewe ayai kucita cinthu mwakusaya kukumbuka bwino ndipo bzimwebzi bzingatiwawe, koma timbamulekerera mwakusaya kunesa. Tsono tikakhala na cironda cikulu, dotolo angafunike kusona cirondaco acicimanga na kalagadula. Ifepano tikambakhalira kuphata-phata pa cirondapo tingabve kuwawa kwene-kwene. Bzakupasa ntsisi mpsakuti munthu omwe waphonyeredwa cinthu cikulu angacitembo bzibodzi-bodzibzi.

Iwo adauzidwambo kuti ambafune wanthu wa madziko manango omwe akhakhala pakati pawo. Bzimwebzi bzidanembedwa mwakubveka bwino pa Mwambo 19:33, 34. (Werengani.) Munthu wa dziko linango akhafunika kucitiridwa bzinthu “ninga Mjirayeri,” ndipo Ajirayeri akhafunika “kumufuna” ninga momwe akhafunirana okha-okha. Mwa ciratizo, Ajirayeri akhafunika kulekerera kuti wanthu wa madziko manango na anyakusauka wa dziko lawo aphalasire m’minda yawo. (Mwambo 19:9, 10) Nfundo yakufuna wanthu wa m’madziko manango ikuphatambo basa kuna Akristau ntsiku zino. (Luka 10:30-37) Mwa njira iponi? Pana wanthu azinji kwene-kwene omwe adacoka m’madziko yawo ndipo ambakhala m’madziko manango, ndipo pinango winango ambakhala pafupi na imwepo. Tenepo, mpsakufunika kwa ifepano kucitira bzinthu amuna, akazi na wana amwewa mu njira yakulatiza kuti timbawafuna na kuwalemekeza.

Pedru adalewa kuti abale wakudzozedwa wa Kristu akhafunika “[kudziwisa] kuli-kwentse bza kudeka mtima kwa Mulungu.” (1 Pedru 2:9) Napo bziri tenepo, Akristau wentse ntsiku zino ana mwayi wakucita basa limweri, lomwe ndakufunika kwene-kwene pa mabasa yentse yabwino. Ni mwayi ukulu kwene-kwene kuna wanthu wakucena kuphata basa lakupalizira na kupfunzisa wanthu nthawe zentse!

Ndipo timbalatizambo kuti tikufuna “kukhala wakucena” m’bzicito bzathu bzentse.
