³ Davide anasonkhanitsa Aisraeli onse mu Yerusalemu kuti abweretse Bokosi la Yehova ku malo amene analikonzera. ⁴ Iye anayitanitsa pamodzi zidzukulu za Aaroni ndi Alevi:

¹¹ Kenaka Davide anayitanitsa ansembe Zadoki ndi Abiatara, ndi Alevi awa, Urieli, Asaya, Yoweli, Semaya, Elieli ndi Aminadabu. ¹² Iye anawawuza kuti, “Inu ndinu atsogoleri a mabanja a Alevi ndipo inu ndi abale anu Alevi mudziyeretse nokha ndi kubweretsa Bokosi la Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli ku malo amene ine ndalikonzera. ¹³ Popeza kuti inu Alevi simunalinyamule poyamba paja, Yehova Mulungu wathu anatikantha. Sitinafunse momwe tikanachitira monga mmene Iyeyo anafotokozera.” ¹⁴ Kotero ansembe ndi Alevi anadziyeretsa ndi cholinga chakuti akatenge Bokosi la Yehova Mulungu wa Israeli. ¹⁵ Ndipo Alevi ananyamula Bokosi la Mulungu pa mapewa awo pa mitengo yake yonyamulira monga momwe Mose analamulira molingana ndi mawu a Yehova.

¹⁶ Davide anawuza atsogoleri a Alevi kuti asankhe abale awo kuti akhale oyimba nyimbo zachisangalalo, zoyimba ndi zida: azeze, apangwe ndi ziwaya za malipenga.

¹⁷ Kotero Alevi anasankha Hemani mwana wa Yoweli; ndipo mwa abale ake anasankha Asafu mwana wa Berekiya; ndipo mwa ana a Merari, abale awo, anasankha Etani mwana wa Kusaya; ¹⁸ ndipo pamodzi ndi iwowa abale awo otsatana nawo: Zekariya, Yaazieli, Semiramoti, Yehieli, Uni, Eliabu, Benaya, Maaseya, Matitiya, Elifelehu, Mikineya, Obedi-Edomu ndi Yeiyeli, alonda a pa chipata.

¹⁹ Anthu oyimba aja Hemani, Asafu ndi Etani ndiwo ankayimba ziwaya za malipenga zamkuwa; ²⁰ Zekariya, Azieli, Semiramoti, Yehieli, Uni, Eliabu, Maaseya ndi Benaya ankayimba azeze a liwu lokwera; ²¹ ndipo Matitiya, Elifelehu, Mikineya, Obedi-Edomu, Yeiyeli ndi Azaziya ankayimba apangwe a liwu lotsika. ²² Kenaniya, mtsogoleri wa Alevi anali woyangʼanira mayimbidwe; uwu ndiye unali udindo wake pakuti anali waluso pa zimenezi.

²³ Berekiya ndi Elikana anali olondera pa khomo la bokosilo. ²⁴ Ansembe awa; Sebaniya, Yehosafati, Netaneli, Amasai, Zekariya, Benaya ndi Eliezara ndiwo ankayimba malipenga patsogolo pa Bokosi la Mulungu. Obedi-Edomu ndi Yehiya analinso alonda a pa khomo la bokosilo.

²⁵ Choncho Davide pamodzi ndi akuluakulu a Israeli ndiponso asilikali olamulira magulu a anthu 1,000, anapita kukatenga Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova ku nyumba ya Obedi-Edomu akukondwera. ²⁶ Popeza Mulungu anathandiza Alevi amene ananyamula Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova, anapereka nsembe ngʼombe zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri ndiponso nkhosa zazimuna zisanu ndi ziwiri. ²⁷ Ndipo Davide anali atavala mkanjo wa nsalu yofewa yosalala, monga anavalira Alevi onse amene ananyamula bokosi pamodzi anthu oyimba, ndiponso Kenaniya, amene anali woyangʼanira magulu oyimba. Davide anavalanso efodi ya nsalu yofewa yosalala. ²⁸ Kotero Aisraeli onse anabweretsa Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova ndi mfuwu, ndiponso akuyimba zitoliro zanyanga zankhosa zazimuna, malipenga ndi maseche ndiponso akuyimba azeze ndi apangwe.

²⁹ Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova likulowa mu Mzinda wa Davide, Mikala mwana wamkazi wa Sauli ankaona ali pa zenera. Ndipo ataona Mfumu Davide ikuvina ndi kukondwera, iye ananyoza Davideyo mu mtima mwake.

Kuchita Tsankho Nʼkosaloledwa

2 Abale anga, okhulupirira Yesu Khristu waulemerero, musaonetse tsankho. ² Tangoganizirani, pakati panu patabwera munthu atavala mphete yagolide ndi zovala zapamwamba, ndipo winanso wosauka nʼkulowa atavala sanza. ³ Ngati musamala kwambiri munthu wovala bwinoyu uja, nʼkumuwuza kuti, “Khalani pa mpando wabwinowu,” koma wosauka uja nʼkumuwuza kuti, “Ima apo,” kapena “Khala pansi pafupi ndi chopondapo mapazi angawa,” ⁴ kodi simunachite tsankho pakati panu ndi kukhala oweruza a maganizo oyipa?

⁵ Tamverani abale anga okondedwa, kodi Mulungu sanasankhe amene dziko lapansi limawaona ngati amphawi kuti akhale olemera mʼchikhulupiriro ndi kulowa ufumu umene Iye analonjeza kwa amene amamukonda? ⁶ Koma mwakhala mukunyoza amphawi. Kodi si anthu olemerawa amene akukudyerani masuku pamutu? Si anthu amenewa amene amakukokerani ku bwalo la milandu? ⁷ Kodi si omwewa amene amachita chipongwe dzina la wolemekezeka, limene inu mumatchulidwa?

⁸ Ngati musungadi lamulo laufumu lija lopezeka mʼMalemba lakuti, “Konda mnansi wako monga iwe mwini,” ndiye kuti mukuchita bwino. ⁹ Koma mukamaonetsa tsankho mukuchimwa, ndipo ndinu wochimwa monga wophwanya lamulo. ¹⁰ Pakuti amene amasunga Malamulo onse, akangophwanya fundo imodzi yokha, waphwanya Malamulo onse. ¹¹ Pakuti amene anati “Usachite chigololo” ndi yemweyonso anati “Usaphe.” Ngati suchita chigololo koma umapha, ndiwe wophwanya Malamulo.

¹² Muziyankhula ndi kuchita zinthu monga anthu amene mudzaweruzidwe ndi lamulo limene limapereka ufulu, ¹³ chifukwa munthu woweruza mopanda chifundo, nayenso adzaweruzidwa mopanda chifundo. Chifundo chimapambana pa chiweruzo.

Chikhulupiriro ndi Ntchito Zabwino

¹⁴ Abale anga, phindu lake nʼchiyani ngati munthu anena kuti ali ndi chikhulupiriro koma chopanda ntchito zabwino? Kodi chikhulupiriro choterechi chingamupulumutse? ¹⁵ Tangoganizirani, mʼbale kapena mlongo amene ali ndi usiwa, ndipo alibe chakudya cha tsiku ndi tsiku. ¹⁶ Ngati mmodzi wa inu amuwuza kuti, “Pita ndi mtendere, ukafundidwe ndipo ukakhute,” koma osamupatsa zimene akuzisowa, phindu lake nʼchiyani pamenepa? ¹⁷ Chomwechonso, chikhulupiriro chokha chopanda ntchito zabwino ndi chakufa.

¹⁸ Koma wina anganene kuti, “Inuyo muli ndi chikhulupiriro koma ine ndili ndi ntchito zabwino.”

Onetsani chikhulupiriro chanu chopanda ntchito zabwino ndipo ineyo ndidzakuonetsani chikhulupiriro changa pochita ntchito zabwino. ¹⁹ Mumakhulupirira kuti kuli Mulungu mmodzi yekha. Mumachita bwino. Komatu ngakhale ziwanda zimakhulupirira zimenezi ndipo zimanjenjemera ndi mantha.

²⁰ Munthu wopusa iwe, kodi ukufuna umboni woti chikhulupiriro chopanda ntchito zabwino nʼchakufa? ²¹ Kodi Abrahamu kholo lathu sanatengedwe kukhala wolungama chifukwa cha zimene anachita pamene anapereka mwana wake Isake pa guwa lansembe? ²² Tsono mukuona kuti chikhulupiriro chake ndi ntchito zabwino zinkachitika pamodzi, ndipo chikhulupiriro chake chinasanduka chenicheni chifukwa cha ntchito zake zabwino. ²³ Ndipo Malemba akunena kuti, “Abrahamu anakhulupirira Mulungu ndipo anatengedwa kukhala wolungama,” ndipo anatchedwa bwenzi la Mulungu. ²⁴ Tsono mukuona kuti munthu amasanduka wolungama ndi ntchito zabwino osati ndi chikhulupiriro chokha ayi.

²⁵ Nʼchimodzimodzinso, kodi wadama uja, Rahabe, sanasanduke wolungama chifukwa cha zomwe anachita pamene anapereka malo ogona kwa azondi aja ndi kuwathawitsira mbali ina? ²⁶ Monga thupi lopanda mzimu ndi lakufa, chomwechonso chikhulupiriro chopanda ntchito zabwino ndi chakufa.
