Malangizo kwa Amayi Amasiye, Akulu Ampingo ndi Akapolo

5 Usadzudzule munthu wachikulire mokalipa, koma umuchenjeze ngati abambo ako. Achinyamata uwatenge ngati abale ako. ² Amayi achikulire uwatenge ngati amayi ako ndipo amayi achitsikana uwatenge ngati alongo ako, nʼkuyera mtima konse.

³ Uziwachitira ulemu akazi amasiye amene ali okhaokha. ⁴ Koma ngati mkazi wamasiye ali ndi ana ndi zidzukulu, anawo ayambe aphunzira kukwaniritsa udindo wawo pa banja lawo moopa Mulungu, potero akubweza zabwino kwa makolo awo ndi agogo awo. Pakuti zimenezi ndiye zimakondweretsa Mulungu. ⁵ Mkazi wamasiye amene ali yekha ndi wopanda womuthandiza, ameneyo wayika chiyembekezo chake pa Mulungu, ndipo amapemphera kosalekeza usana ndi usiku kuti Mulungu azimuthandiza. ⁶ Koma mkazi wamasiye amene amangokhalira kuchita zosangalatsa moyo wake, wafa kale ngakhale akanali ndi moyo. ⁷ Pereka malangizo amenewa kwa anthu kuti akhale opanda zolakwa. ⁸ Ngati wina sasamalira abale ake, makamaka a mʼbanja mwake mwenimweni, ameneyo wakana chikhulupiriro ndipo ndi woyipa kuposa wosakhulupirira.

⁹ Mayi wamasiye aliyense amene sanakwanitse zaka 60 zakubadwa, asakhale mʼgulu la akazi amasiye. Akhale woti anakwatiwapo ndi mwamuna wake mmodzi yekha. ¹⁰ Akhale mayi woti amadziwika bwino pa ntchito zake zabwino monga kulera ana, kusamalira alendo, kusambitsa mapazi a anthu a Mulungu, kuthandiza amene ali pa mavuto ndi kudzipereka pa ntchito zonse zabwino.

¹¹ Akazi amasiye achitsikana, usawayike mʼgulu limeneli. Pakuti zilakolako zawo zikayamba kuwavutitsa nʼkuwalekanitsa ndi Khristu, amafuna kukwatiwanso. ¹² Zikatero amadziweruza okha chifukwa aphwanya lonjezo lawo loyamba. ¹³ Komanso amakhala ndi chizolowezi cha ulesi ndi kumangoyenda khomo ndi khomo. Ndipo sikungokhala aulesi kokha komanso kuchita miseche, kududukira za eni ake, kumangokamba zinthu zosayenera kukamba. ¹⁴ Kotero, ndikulangiza akazi amasiye achitsikana kuti akwatiwe, akhale ndi ana, asamalire makomo awo ndipo asamupatse mdani mpata wonyoza ¹⁵ Akazi amasiye ena apatuka kale nʼkumatsatira Satana.

¹⁶ Ngati mayi aliyense wokhulupirira ali ndi akazi amasiye amene akuwasamalira, apitirizebe kuwasamalira ndipo asalemetse mpingo, kuti mpingo uthandize akazi amasiye amene ali okhaokha.

¹⁷ Akulu ampingo amene amayangʼanira bwino zochitika za mu mpingo, ndi oyenera ulemu wowirikiza, makamaka amene ntchito yawo ndi kulalikira ndi kuphunzitsa. ¹⁸ Pakuti Mawu a Mulungu amati, “Musamange ngʼombe pakamwa pamene ikupuntha tirigu,” ndi “Wantchito ngoyenera kulandira malipiro ake.” ¹⁹ Usamamvere mawu oneneza akulu ampingo pokhapokha patakhala mboni ziwiri kapena zitatu. ²⁰ Akulu ampingo amene akuchimwa, uwadzudzule poyera kuti ena aphunzirepo.

²¹ Ndikukulamulira pamaso pa Mulungu, pamaso pa Yesu Khristu ndi pamaso pa angelo osankhika, kuti usunge malangizowa mosachotsera ndipo usachite kalikonse mokondera.

²² Usafulumire kusanjika manja munthu, ndipo usavomerezane ndi anthu ena pa machimo. Usunge bwino kuyera mtima kwako.

²³ Uleke kumangomwa madzi okha, koma uzimwako vinyo pangʼono chifukwa cha vuto lako la mʼmimba ndi kudwala kwako kwa pafupipafupi.

²⁴ Anthu ena machimo awo amaonekeratu poyera, amakafika pa mpando wachiweruzo eni akewo asanakafike. Machimo a anthu ena amabwera mʼmbuyo mwawo. ²⁵ Momwemonso, ntchito zabwino zimaonekera poyera, ndipo ngakhale zipande kutero, sizingatheke kubisika.

6 Onse amene ali mu ukapolo ayenera kuona ambuye awo ngati oyenera kuwachitira ulemu, kuti anthu anganyoze dzina la Mulungu ndi chiphunzitso chathu. ² Amene ambuye awo ndi okhulupirira, asawapeputse chifukwa ambuye ndi abale mʼchikhulupiriro. Mʼmalo mwake akuyenera kuwatumikira bwino chifukwa ambuye wawo ndi okondedwa monga okhulupirira ndiponso ndi odzipereka kusamalira akapolo awo.

Aphunzitsi Onyenga ndi Kukonda Ndalama

Zinthu izi ukuyenera kuziphunzitsa ndi kuwalamula anthu. ³ Ngati wina aphunzitsa zosiyana ndi zimenezi, wosagwirizana ndi malangizo woona a Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu ndi chiphunzitso cholemekeza Mulungu, ⁴ ameneyo ndi wodzitukumula ndipo sakudziwa chilichonse. Iyeyo ali ndi maganizo oyipa, wokonda kusemphana mawu ndi kutsutsana. Zimenezi zimabweretsa nsanje, mikangano, mʼnyozo, kuganizirana zoyipa, ⁵ ndi kulimbana kosatha pakati pa anthu amitima yopotoka amene alandidwa choonadi ndipo amaganiza kuti kulemekeza Mulungu ndi njira yopezera chuma.

⁶ Koma kulemekeza Mulungu kuli ndi phindu lalikulu. ⁷ Pakuti sitinabweretse kanthu mʼdziko lapansi, ndipo sitingatengenso kanthu pochoka mʼdziko lapansi. ⁸ Koma ngati tili ndi chakudya ndi zovala, zimenezi zitikwanire. ⁹ Anthu amene amafuna kulemera amagwa mʼmayesero ndi mu msampha ndi mʼzilakolako zambiri zopusa ndi zoopsa zimene zimagwetsera anthu mʼchitayiko ndi mʼchiwonongeko. ¹⁰ Pakuti kukonda ndalama ndiye muzu wa zoyipa za mitundu yonse. Anthu ena ofunitsitsa ndalama, asochera ndipo asiya njira yachikhulupiriro ndipo adzitengera zowawitsa zambiri.

Malangizo Otsiriza kwa Timoteyo

Gwiritsitsa moyo wosatha umene anakuyitanira pamene unavomereza bwino lomwe pamaso pa mboni zambiri. ¹³ Ndikukulamula pamaso pa Mulungu amene amapatsa moyo zinthu zonse, ndiponso pamaso pa Khristu Yesu amene pochitira umboni pamaso pa Pontiyo Pilato, ananena zoona zenizeni. ¹⁴ Usunge lamuloli mopanda banga ndi cholakwa kufikira Ambuye athu Yesu Khristu ataonekera. ¹⁵ Pa nthawi yake Mulungu adzamubweretsa kwa ife. Mulungu ndi wodalitsika ndipo Iye yekha ndiye Wolamulira, Mfumu ya mafumu, Mbuye wa ambuye. ¹⁶ Ndiye yekha wosafa ndipo amakhala mʼkuwala koopsa. Mulungu amene munthu aliyense sanamuone. Kwa Iye kukhale ulemu ndi mphamvu mpaka muyaya. Ameni.

Za Kudalira Chuma

¹⁷ Anthu onse amene ali ndi chuma uwalamule kuti asanyade kapena kuyika mitima yawo pa chuma chimene nʼchosadalirika. Koma chiyembekezo chawo chikhale mwa Mulungu amene amatipatsa mowolowamanja zonse zotisangalatsa. ¹⁸ Uwalamule kuti azichita zabwino, kuti azikhala olemera pa ntchito zabwino, owolowamanja ndi okonda kugawana zinthu zawo ndi anzawo. ¹⁹ Potero adzadziwunjikira chuma chokhalitsa ngati maziko okhazikika a nthawi zakutsogolo, kuti akalandire moyo, umene ndi moyo weniweni.
