Paulo Anyadira Mazunzo Ake

¹⁶ Ndibwereze kunena kuti, wina aliyense asandiyese chitsiru. Koma ngati mutero, mundilandire monga mmene mukhoza kulandirira chitsiru, kuti ndinyadirepo pangʼono. ¹⁷ Kudzinyadira kwangaku, sindikuyankhula monga mmene Ambuye akufunira koma ngati chitsiru. ¹⁸ Popeza ambiri akudzitama monga dziko lapansi limachitira, inenso ndidzitamanso. ¹⁹ Inu mumalolera kukhala ndi zitsiru mokondwera chifukwa mumati ndinu anzeru! ²⁰ Kunena zoona mumangololera aliyense; amene amakusandutsani akapolo, kapena amene amakudyerani masuku pamutu, kapena amene amakupezererani, kapena amene amadzitukumula, kapena amene amakumenyani khofi. ²¹ Ndikuvomera mwamanyazi kuti ife sitinali olimba mtima kuti nʼkuchita zinthu zimenezi.

Ndikuyankhula ngati chitsiru kuti chimene wina aliyense akhoza kudzitama nacho, Inenso ndikhoza kudzitama nachonso. ²² Kodi iwo ndi Ahebri? Inenso ndine Mhebri. Kodi iwo ndi Aisraeli? Inenso ndine Mwisraeli. Kodi iwo ndi zidzukulu za Abrahamu? Inenso ndine mdzukulu wa Abrahamu. ²³ Kodi iwo ndi atumiki a Khristu? Ndikuyankhula ngati wamisala. Ine ndine woposa iwowo. Ndagwira ntchito kwambiri kupambana iwo, ndakhala ndikuyikidwa mʼndende kawirikawiri, ndakwapulidwapo kwambiri, kawirikawiri ndinali pafupi kufa. ²⁴ Andikwapulapo kasanu zikoti zija za Ayuda, makumi anayi kuchotsapo chimodzi. ²⁵ Katatu anandimenya ndi ndodo. Kamodzi anandigendapo miyala. Katatu sitima yathu ya panyanja inasweka, ndipo ndinakhala usiku ndi usana ndi kuyandama pa nyanja. ²⁶ Ndakhala ndikuyenda maulendo ataliatali. Moyo wanga wakhala ukukumana ndi zoopsa pa mitsinje, zoopsa za achifwamba, zoopsa zochokera kwa abale anga Ayuda, zoopsa zochokera kwa anthu akunja. Ndinakumana ndi zoopsa mʼmizinda, mʼmidzi, pa nyanja, ndi pakati pa abale onyenga. ²⁷ Ndakhala ndikugwira ntchito molimbika ndipo kawirikawiri ndakhala ndikuchezera usiku wonse osagona. Ndakhala ndikumva njala ndi ludzu ndipo kawirikawiri ndakhala wopanda chakudya. Ndakhala ndi kuzizidwa ndi wosowa zovala. ²⁸ Kuwonjezera pa zonsezi, tsiku ndi tsiku ndimakhala pa chipsinjo cha nkhawa ya mipingo yonse. ²⁹ Ndani ali wofowoka, ine wosakhala naye mʼkufowoka kwakeko? Ndani amene mnzake amuchimwitsa, ine wosavutika mu mtima?

³⁰ Ngati nʼkoyenera kudzitamandira, ndidzadzitamandira pa zinthu zimene zimaonetsa kufowoka kwanga. ³¹ Mulungu, Atate a Ambuye Yesu, amene tiyenera kumutamanda nthawi zonse, akudziwa kuti sindikunama. ³² Ku Damasiko, bwanamkubwa woyimira Mfumu Areta, anayika alonda kuzungulira mzinda wonse kuti andigwire. ³³ Koma abale anandiyika mʼdengu nanditsitsira pa chipupa kudzera pa zenera la mpandawo, motero ndinapulumuka mʼmanja mwake.
