Yehova Alanga Ahaziya

1 Atamwalira Ahabu, Mowabu anawukira Israeli. ² Ndipo Ahaziya anagwa kuchokera pa khonde la chipinda chake chammwamba ku Samariya, ndipo anavulala kwambiri. Choncho iye anatuma amithenga nawawuza kuti, “Pitani mukafunse kwa Baala-zebubu, mulungu wa ku Ekroni, ngati ndichire matendawa.”

³ Koma mngelo wa Yehova anawuza Eliya wa ku Tisibe kuti, “Nyamuka, pita ukakumane ndi amithenga a mfumu ya ku Samariya ndipo ukawafunse kuti, ‘Kodi popeza kulibe Mulungu ku Israeli, nʼchifukwa chake inu mukupita kukafunsa nzeru kwa Baala-zebubu, mulungu wa ku Ekroni?’ ⁴ Tsono Yehova akuti, ‘Iweyo sudzadzuka pa bedi wagonapo. Udzafa ndithu!’ ” Ndipo Eliya ananyamuka.

⁵ Amithenga aja atabwerera kwa mfumu, mfumuyo inawafunsa kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani mwabwerera?”

⁶ Iwo anayankha kuti, “Munthu wina anabwera kudzakumana nafe, ndipo anatiwuza kuti, bwererani kwa mfumu imene inakutumani ndipo mukayiwuze kuti, ‘Yehova akuti, kodi popeza kulibe Mulungu ku Israeli, nʼchifukwa chake mukupita kukafunsa nzeru kwa Baala-zebubu, mulungu wa ku Ekroni? Tsono sudzadzuka pa bedi wagonapo. Udzafa ndithu!’ ”

⁷ Mfumu inafunsa amithengawo kuti, “Kodi munthu amene anabwera kudzakumana nanuyo ndi kukuwuzani zimenezi amaoneka bwanji?”

⁸ Iwo anayankha kuti, “Munthuyo anavala zovala zaubweya ndi lamba wachikopa mʼchiwuno mwake.”

Mfumu inati, “Munthu ameneyo ndi Eliya wa ku Tisibe.”

⁹ Pamenepo mfumu inatuma mtsogoleri wa ankhondo ndi anthu ake makumi asanu kwa Eliya. Mtsogoleriyo anapita kwa Eliya, amene anali atakhala pamwamba pa phiri, ndipo anati, “Munthu wa Mulungu, mfumu ikuti, ‘Tsikani!’ ”

¹⁰ Eliya anayankha mtsogoleriyo kuti, “Ngati ndine munthu wa Mulungu, moto utsike kuchokera kumwamba, ukupsereze iwe pamodzi ndi anthu makumi asanu akowo!” Pomwepo moto unatsikadi kuchokera kumwamba ndipo unapsereza mtsogoleriyo pamodzi ndi anthu akewo.

¹¹ Zitachitika izi, mfumu inatumanso mtsogoleri wina pamodzi ndi asilikali ake makumi asanu. Mtsogoleriyo anati kwa Eliya, “Munthu wa Mulungu, zimene mfumu ikunena ndi izi, ‘Tsikani msangamsanga!’ ”

¹² Eliya anayankha kuti, “Ngati ndine munthu wa Mulungu, moto utsike kuchokera kumwamba, ukupsereze iwe pamodzi ndi anthu ako makumi asanuwo!” Pomwepo moto unatsikadi kuchokera kumwamba ndipo unapsereza mtsogoleriyo pamodzi ndi anthu akewo.

¹³ Ndipo mfumu inatumanso mtsogoleri wachitatu pamodzi ndi asilikali ake makumi asanu. Mtsogoleri wachitatuyu anakwera pa phiripo ndi kugwada pamaso pa Eliya. Iye anayankhula mopemba kuti, “Munthu wa Mulungu, chonde musandiwononge ineyo pamodzi ndi atumiki makumi asanu anuwa! ¹⁴ Taonani, moto unatsika kuchokera kumwamba ndi kupsereza atsogoleri awiri pamodzi ndi anthu awo onse. Koma tsopano musawononge moyo wanga!”

¹⁵ Mngelo wa Yehova anati kwa Eliya, “Pita naye, usamuope.” Choncho Eliya ananyamuka natsika naye limodzi kupita kwa mfumu.

¹⁶ Eliya anawuza mfumu kuti, “Yehova akuti, ‘Chifukwa chiyani munatumiza amithenga kwa Baala-zebubu, mulungu wa ku Ekroni, kukafunsa ngati muti muchire? Kodi mu Israeli mulibe Mulungu woti nʼkukuyankhani funso lanu? Choncho, popeza mwachita izi, simudzadzuka pamene mwagonapo; mudzafa ndithu.’ ” ¹⁷ Motero Ahaziya anafadi, monga mwa mawu a Yehova amene Eliya anayankhula.

Tsono popeza Ahaziya analibe mwana, Yoramu analowa ufumu mʼmalo mwake mʼchaka chachiwiri cha Yehoramu mwana wa Yehosafati mfumu ya ku Yuda. ¹⁸ Ntchito zina zonse zimene Ahaziya anachita, kodi sizinalembedwe mʼbuku la mbiri ya mafumu a ku Israeli?

Ndipo tiyenera kutero chifukwa chikhulupiriro chanu chikukulirakulirabe, ndiponso chikondi chimene aliyense wa inu ali nacho pa mnzake chikuchulukirachulukirabe. ⁴ Nʼchifukwa chake, timayankhula monyadira mʼmipingo yonse ya Mulungu za kupirira kwanu ndi chikhulupiriro chanu pakati pa masautso onse ndi mayesero amene mukudutsamo.

Izi zidzachitika Ambuye Yesu akadzaoneka mʼmalawi amoto kuchokera kumwamba pamodzi ndi angelo ake amphamvu. ⁸ Iye adzalanga amene sadziwa Mulungu ndi amene samvera Uthenga Wabwino wa Ambuye athu Yesu. ⁹ Adzalangidwa ndi chiwonongeko chamuyaya ndipo sadzaonanso nkhope ya Ambuye ndi ulemerero wamphamvu zake ¹⁰ pa tsiku limene iye adzabwera kudzalemekezedwa mwa oyera mtima ndi kuyamikidwa ndi onse amene anakhulupirira. Inu mudzakhala nawo mʼgulumo chifukwa munakhulupirira umboni wathu.

Zonsezi zidzachitika chifukwa cha chisomo cha Mulungu wathu ndi Ambuye Yesu Khristu.

Malemba pa Khoma

5 Tsiku lina mfumu Belisazara anakonza phwando lalikulu la akalonga ake 1,000 ndipo anamwa vinyo pamodzi ndi iwo. ² Pamene Belisazara ankamwa vinyo, analamula kuti ziwiya zagolide ndi zasiliva zimene Nebukadinezara abambo ake anakatenga mʼNyumba ya Mulungu ku Yerusalemu zikatengedwe kuti mfumu ndi akalonga ake, akazi ake ndi azikazi amweremo. ³ Choncho anabweretsa ziwiya zagolide zimene anazitenga mʼNyumba ya Mulungu; ndipo mfumu ndi akalonga ake, akazi ake ndi azikazi ake anamweramo. ⁴ Akumwa vinyo, anatamanda milungu yagolide ndi siliva, yamkuwa, chitsulo, yamtengo ndi mwala.

⁵ Mwadzidzidzi zala za dzanja la munthu zinaonekera ndi kulemba pa khoma, pafupi ndi choyikapo nyale mʼnyumba yaufumu. Mfumu inapenyetsetsa dzanjalo pamene limalemba. ⁶ Nkhope yake inasandulika ndipo inachita mantha, nkhongono zii, mawondo gwedegwede.

⁷ Mfumu inafuwula kuyitana owombeza, alawuli ndi amawula kuti abwere. Ndipo anawawuza anthu anzeru a ku Babuloni kuti, “Aliyense amene awerenge malembawa ndi kundiwuza tanthauzo lake adzavekedwa chovala cha pepo ndi mkanda wa golide udzavekedwa mʼkhosi mwake, ndipo adzakhala wolamulira wachitatu mu ufumuwu.”

⁸ Pamenepo anzeru onse a mfumu anabwera, koma sanakwanitse kuwerenga malembawo kapena kumutanthauzira mfumu. ⁹ Choncho mfumu Belisazara anachita mantha koposa ndipo nkhope yake inapitirira kusinthika. Akalonga ake anathedwa nzeru.

¹⁰ Mfumukazi, pakumva mawu a mfumu ndi akalonga ake, analowa mʼchipinda cha phwando ndipo anati, “Mfumu mukhale ndi moyo wautali! Musavutike! Nkhope yanu isasinthike! ¹¹ Pali munthu wina mu ufumu wanu uno amene mwa iye muli mzimu wa milungu yoyera. Pa nthawi ya ulamuliro wa abambo anu iye anapezeka kuti ali ndi chidziwitso, luntha ndi nzeru zonga za milungu. Mfumu Nebukadinezara, abambo anu, Ine ndikukuwuzani anamusankha iye kukhala mkulu wa amatsenga, owombeza, alawuli ndi amawula. ¹² Munthu ameneyu dzina lake ndi Danieli, koma mfumu inamutcha Belitesezara ndipo ali ndi nzeru zapadera, ndi wodziwa ndi kuzindikira zinthu, ndiponso luso lakutanthauzira maloto, kufotokozera miyambi ndi kuthetsa mavuto osautsa. Muyitaneni Danieli, ndipo adzakuwuzani chomwe mawuwa akutanthauza.”

¹³ Choncho anabwera naye Danieli pamaso pa mfumu ndipo inati kwa iye, “Kodi ndiwe Danieli, mmodzi mwa akapolo omwe abambo anga mfumu anabwera nawo kuchoka ku Yuda? ¹⁴ Ndamva kuti mzimu wa milungu uli mwa iwe ndi kuti uli ndi chidziwitso, luntha ndi nzeru zapadera. ¹⁵ Anzeru ndi owombeza anabwera pamaso panga kuti awerenge zolembedwazi ndi kundiwuza tanthauzo lake koma sanakwanitse kundifotokozera. ¹⁶ Tsopano ndamva kuti iwe ukhoza kupereka matanthauzo ndi kuthetsa mavuto. Ngati ungawerenge zolembedwazi ndi kundiwuza tanthauzo lake, udzavekedwa chovala cha pepo ndi kuyikidwa mkanda wa golide mʼkhosi mwako, ndipo udzakhala wolamulira wachitatu mu ufumu uno.”

¹⁷ Pamenepo Danieli anayankha mfumu kuti, “Inu musunge mphatso zanuzo kwa inu nokha ndipo mupereke mphothoyo kwa wina aliyense. Komabe ine ndi kuwerengerani malembawa mfumu; ndikukuwuzani tanthauzo lake.

¹⁸ “Inu mfumu, Mulungu Wammwambamwamba anapatsa abambo anu Nebukadinezara mphamvu ndi ukulu ndi ulemerero ndi ufumu. ¹⁹ Chifukwa cha udindo waukulu umene anapatsidwanso, anthu onse ndi mitundu ndi anthu aziyankhulo zosiyanasiyana ankanjenjemera ndikumuopa iye. Amene mfumu inafuna anawaphadi; amene inafuna kuwasunga, inawasunga; amene inafuna kuwakweza, inawakweza; ndipo amene inafuna kuwatsitsa, inawatsitsa. ²⁰ Koma pamene inayamba kudzitama ndi kuwumitsa mtima wake ndi kuyamba kunyada, inachotsedwa pa mpando wake waufumu ndi kulandidwa ulemerero wake. ²¹ Iyo inachotsedwa pakati pa anthu ndi kupatsidwa mtima ngati wa nyama; inakhala pamodzi ndi abulu akutchire ndi kudya udzu ngati ngʼombe; ndipo thupi lake linanyowa ndi mame akumwamba, mpaka pamene anavomereza kuti Mulungu Wammwambamwamba ndiye wolamulira maufumu a anthu ndipo amawupereka kwa aliyense amene Iye wafuna.

²² “Koma inu mwana wake, Belisazara, simunadzichepetse, ngakhale kuti mumadziwa zonsezi. ²³ Mʼmalo mwake, mwadzikweza nokha kutsutsana ndi Ambuye wakumwamba. Inu mwatenga ziwiya za mʼNyumba mwake, ndipo inu ndi akalonga anu, akazi anu ndi azikazi anu mwamwera vinyo mu zimenezi. Inu munatamanda milungu yasiliva ndi golide, yamkuwa, chitsulo, mtengo ndi mwala, imene singaone kapena kumva kapena kuzindikira. Koma simunamupatse ulemu Mulungu amene asunga mʼmanja mwake moyo wanu ndi njira zanu zonse. ²⁴ Choncho Iye watumiza dzanja limene lalemba mawu amenewa.
