Yesu Wangupemphera pa Nyengu yo Wenga Ndi Chitima Chikulu

Yesu wati wamaliza kupemphera ndi akutumika ŵaki, ‘angumba sumu zakuthamika Chiuta.’ Pavuli paki, “anguluta ku Phiri la Maolivi.” (Mariko 14:26) Yiwu anguselere chakuvuma ko kwenga munda wa Gesemani wo Yesu wayanjanga kulutaku kaŵikaŵi.

Yiwu ŵati afika kumunda wenuwu, ko kwenga vimiti vinandi va Maolivi, Yesu wangukambiya akutumika ŵaki 8 kuti: “Jani panu, ini ndiluta kuwa kuchipemphera.” Iyu wanguluta ndi akutumika ŵaki atatu, Peturo, Yakobe ndi Yohane, ndipu angusere mumunda wenuwu. Pa nyengu iyi, iyu wenga ndi chitima chikulu, ndipu wangukambiya akutumika ŵaki atatu ŵenaŵa kuti: “Nde ndi chitima chakufwa nachu. Jani panu, ndipu lutirizgani kuja masu limoza ndi ini.”—Mateyu 26:36-38.

Wati waluta panthazi kamanavi, Yesu ‘wangujikama ndipu wangwamba kupemphera.’ Kumbi iyu wapemphanganji kwaku Chiuta pa nyengu yakusuzga yeniyi? Iyu wangupemphera kuti: “Ada, palivi cho mutondeka kuchita; mundituzgiyepu kapu iyi. Mwakukhumba kwangu cha, kweni mwakukhumba kwinu.” (Mariko 14:35, 36) Kumbi iyu wang’anamuwanganji pakukamba mazu ngenanga? Kumbi iyu wakhumbanga kuthaŵa udindu wakuwombo ŵanthu? Awa!

Yesu we kuchanya, wawonanga mo Aroma asuzgiyanga ŵanthu kweniso kuŵabaya. Mwaviyo, iyu waziŵanga vo watingi wakumanengi navu, chifukwa pa nyengu iyi nayu wenga munthu ndipu wavwanga kupweteka. Kweni Yesu wasuzgikanga ukongwa chifukwa waziŵanga kuti wabayikengi nge chigaŵenga, ndipu venivi vatingi vichitiskengi kuti ŵanthu anyozi zina la Awisi. Pa nyengu iyi kunguja maora ngamanavi kuti wapayikiki pachimiti nge mo achitiyanga ndi munthu yo wanyoza Chiuta.

Wati wapemphera kwa nyengu yitali, Yesu wanguweku ndipu wangusaniya kuti akutumika ŵaki atatu ŵenaŵa agona. Iyu wangukambiya Peturo kuti: “Nadi mungatondeka kuja masu limoza ndi ini kwa ora limoza pe? Lutirizgani kuja masu, ndipu lutirizgani kupemphera kuti muleki kuyeseka.” Yesu wanguziŵa kuti akutumika ŵaki nawu asuzgikanga maŵanaŵanu kweniso kuti pa nyengu iyi wenga usiku. Iyu wangukamba so kuti: “Mzimu ukhumba nadi, kweni liŵavu ndakulopwa.”—Mateyu 26:40, 41.

Pavuli paki, Yesu wanguluta so kachiŵi, ndipu wangupempha Chiuta kuti wamutuzgiyepu “kapu iyi.” Wachiweku, wangusaniya so kuti akutumika ŵaki atatu ŵenaŵa agona, chinanga kuti pa nyengu iyi yiwu akhumbikanga kupemphera kuti aleki kuyeseka. Yesu wati waŵafumba chifukwa cho agoniyanga, yiwu “angusoŵa chakumumuka.” (Mariko 14:40) Yesu wanguluta so kachitatu ndipu wangujikama ndi kwamba kupemphera.

Yesu wangusuzgika ukongwa maŵanaŵanu chifukwa watingi wabayikengi nge chigaŵenga, ndipu venivi vatingi vichitisengi kuti zina la Awisi linyozeki. Yehova wavwanga vo Mwana waki wapempheranga ndipu wangumutumiziya mungelu kuti wamuchiski. Chinanga kuti venga viyo, Yesu wanguleka cha kupemphera mwakuŵeyere kwa Awisi, kweni wangulutirizga “kupemphera kutuliya pasi pa mtima.” Pa nyengu iyi, Yesu wangusuzgika ukongwa maŵanaŵanu chifukwa cha udindu ukulu wo iyu wenga nawu. Asani wangutondeka kubayika, watingi watayengi mwaŵi wakuzija kwamuyaya kweniso ŵanthu wo agomezga Chiuta nawu so atingi aziwusaniyengi cha mwaŵi wenuwu. Yesu wangusuzgika ukongwa mwakuti “vuchi laki lachitanga kunthonya nge ndopa.”—Luka 22:44.

Yesu wati waweku kachitatu, wangusaniya so kuti akutumika ŵaki agona. Iyu wangukamba kuti: “Nadi ndi nyengu yakuti mungagona ndi kupumuwa iyi? Awonani! Ora lafika lakuti Mwana wa munthu waperekeki mu manja mwa ŵanthu akubuda. Sokani, tiyeni tikengi. Awonani! Wakundipereka wafika.”—Mateyu 26:45, 46.
