Old/New Testament

Miriamu ndi Aaroni Atsutsana ndi Mose

12 Miriamu ndi Aaroni anayamba kuyankhula motsutsana ndi Mose chifukwa cha mkazi wa ku Kusi, popeza Moseyo anakwatira Mkusi. ² Iwowo anafunsa kuti, “Kodi Yehova anayankhula kudzera mwa Mose yekha? Kodi sanayankhule kudzeranso mwa ife?” Ndipo Yehova anamva zimenezi.

³ (Koma Mose anali munthu wodzichepetsa kwambiri kuposa munthu aliyense pa dziko lapansi).

⁴ Nthawi yomweyo Yehova anati kwa Mose, Aaroni ndi Miriamu, “Bwerani ku tenti ya msonkhano nonse atatu.” Ndipo atatuwo anapitadi kumeneko. ⁵ Tsono Yehova anatsika mu mtambo, nayima pa khomo la chihema. Kenaka anayitana Aaroni ndi Miriamu. Ndipo onse awiri atapita patsogolo, ⁶ Mulungu anati, “Mverani mawu anga:

⁹ Ndipo Yehova anawakwiyira, nachoka.

¹⁰ Pamene mtambo unachoka pamwamba pa Chihema, taonani, Miriamu anagwidwa ndi khate. Aaroni atachewuka anaona Miriamu ali ndi khate; ¹¹ ndipo Aaroni anawuza Mose kuti, “Pepani mbuye wanga, musatilange chifukwa cha tchimo limene tachita mopusa. ¹² Musalole kuti Miriamu akhale ngati mwana wobadwa wakufa kuchoka mʼmimba mwa amayi ake, thupi lake litawonongeka.”

¹³ Tsono Mose anafuwulira Yehova kuti, “Chonde Inu Mulungu, muchiritseni!”

¹⁴ Yehova anayankha Mose kuti, “Abambo ake akanamulavulira malovu mʼmaso, kodi sakanakhala wonyozeka masiku asanu ndi awiri? Mutsekereni kunja kwa msasa masiku asanu ndi awiri, kenaka mumulowetsenso.” ¹⁵ Choncho anamutsekera Miriamu kunja kwa msasa masiku asanu ndi awiri ndipo anthu sanayende ulendo wawo mpaka Miriamu atamulowetsanso.

¹⁶ Pambuyo pake anthu ananyamuka ku Heziroti ndi kukamanga mʼchipululu cha Parani.

Kukazonda Kanaani

13 Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, ² “Tuma anthu kuti akazonde dziko la Kanaani limene ndikupereka kwa Aisraeli. Kuchokera pa fuko lililonse utume munthu mmodzi amene ndi mtsogoleri wawo.”

³ Monga mwa mawu a Yehova, Mose anawatuma kuchokera ku chipululu cha Parani. Onsewo anali atsogoleri a Aisraeli. ⁴ Mayina awo ndi awa:

¹⁶ Amenewa ndiwo mayina a anthu amene Mose anawatuma kukazonda dzikolo. (Hoseya mwana wa Nuni, Mose anamupatsa dzina loti Yoswa).

¹⁷ Mose atawatuma kuti akazonde Kanaani anati, “Mupite kudzera ku Negevi, mukapitirire mpaka ku dziko la mapiri. ¹⁸ Mukaone dzikolo kuti ndi lotani ndi anthu okhala mʼmenemo ngati ndi amphamvu kapena ofowoka, ochepa kapena ambiri. ¹⁹ Nanga dziko limene akukhalako ndi lotani? Ndi labwino kapena loyipa? Mizinda imene akukhalamo ndi yotani? Kodi ilibe malinga kapena ndi ya malinga? ²⁰ Nthaka yake ndi yotani? Yachonde kapena yopanda chonde? Kodi dzikolo lili ndi mitengo kapena lilibe mitengo? Mukayesetse kubweretsako zipatso za mʼdzikomo.” (Inali nthawi yamphesa zoyamba kupsa).

²¹ Choncho anapita kukazonda dzikolo kuchokera ku chipululu cha Zini mpaka ku Rehobu, mopenyana ndi Lebo Hamati. ²² Anapita kudzera ku Negevi ndi kukafika ku Hebroni, kumene Ahimani, Sesai ndi Talimai, ana a Anaki ankakhala. (Anamanga Hebroni zaka zisanu ndi ziwiri asanamange Zowani ku Igupto). ²³ Atafika ku chigwa cha Esikolo, anadulako nthambi ya mpesa ya phava limodzi la mphesa ndipo anthu awiri ananyamulizana, natenganso makangadza ndi nkhuyu. ²⁴ Malo amenewo anawatcha chigwa cha Esikolo chifukwa cha phava la mphesa limene Aisraeli anadula kumeneko. ²⁵ Patapita masiku makumi anayi, anthu aja anabwerako kokazonda dziko lija.

Kufotokoza Zomwe Anakaona

²⁶ Ndipo atabwerako anapita kwa Mose ndi Aaroni ndi kwa Aisraeli onse ku Kadesi mʼchipululu cha Parani. Kumeneko anafotokozera anthu onse nawaonetsanso zipatso za mʼdzikolo. ²⁷ Anthuwo anafotokozera Mose kuti, “Tinapita ku dziko komwe munatituma. Dzikolo ndi loyenda mkaka ndi uchi ndipo zipatso zake ndi izi. ²⁸ Koma anthu amene amakhala mʼdzikomo ndi amphamvu, mizinda yawo ndi ya malinga aakulu kwambiri. Tinaonanso Aanaki kumeneko. ²⁹ Aamaleki amakhala ku Negevi, Ahiti, Ayebusi ndi Aamori amakhala mʼdziko la mapiri ndipo Akanaani amakhala pafupi ndi nyanja, mʼmbali mwa Yorodani.”

³⁰ Koma Kalebe anawakhalitsa chete anthuwo pamaso pa Mose, ndipo anati, “Tiyeni tipite ndithu ndi kutenga dzikolo, pakuti tingathe kulitenga.”

³¹ Koma anthu aja amene anapita naye anati, “Sitingathe kulimbana ndi anthuwo popeza ndi amphamvu kuposa ifeyo.” ³² Choncho anthuwo anafalitsa pakati pa Aisraeli mbiri yoyipa ya dziko lomwe anakalionalo. Iwo anati, “Dziko limene tinapita kukalizonda limawononga anthu okhala mʼmenemo. Ndipo anthu onse amene tinakawaona kumeneko ndi ataliatali. ³³ Kumeneko tinaona Anefili (ana a Aanaki ochokera kwa Nefili). Ifeyo timangodziona ngati ziwala mʼmaso mwawo, ndipo kwa iwo timaonekadi motero ndithu.”

Anthu Awukira

14 Usiku umenewo gulu lonse la Aisraeli linalira mofuwula kwambiri. ² Ndipo Aisraeli onse anayankhula motsutsana ndi Mose ndi Aaroni. Gulu lonse linanena kwa iwo kuti, “Kunali bwino tikanafera ku Igupto kapena mʼchipululu muno! ³ Nʼchifukwa chiyani Yehova akutilowetsa mʼdziko limenelo? Kodi kuti tikaphedwe ndi lupanga? Kuti akazi ndi ana athu akatengedwe ngati katundu wolanda ku nkhondo? Kodi sikungakhale bwino kuti tibwerere ku Igupto?” ⁴ Ndipo anawuzana wina ndi mnzake kuti, “Tiyeni tisankhe mtsogoleri ndipo tibwerere ku Igupto.”

⁵ Koma Mose ndi Aaroni anadzigwetsa pansi chafufumimba pamaso pa Aisraeli onse omwe anasonkhana pamenepo. ⁶ Yoswa mwana wa Nuni ndi Kalebe mwana wa Yefune, omwe anali amodzi mwa amene anakazonda nawo dziko, anangʼamba zovala zawo ⁷ ndipo anati kwa gulu lonse la Aisraeli, “Dziko limene tinakayendamo ndi kuliona ndi labwino kwambiri zedi. ⁸ Ngati Yehova akukondwera nafe, adzatitsogolera kulowa mʼdziko limenelo. Dziko loyenda mkaka ndi uchi adzalipereka kwa ife, ⁹ koma musawukire Yehova. Komanso musaope anthu a mʼdzikomo, pakuti tidzawagonjetsa. Chitetezo chawachokera, koma ife Yehova ali nafe. Musawaope.”

¹⁰ Koma gulu lonse linayankhula zofuna kuwagenda miyala. Pamenepo ulemerero wa Yehova unaonekera kwa Aisraeli onse ku tenti ya msonkhano. ¹¹ Yehova anawuza Mose kuti, “Anthu awa adzandinyoza mpaka liti? Sadzandikhulupirira mpaka liti, ngakhale ndachita zizindikiro zozizwitsa zonsezi pakati pawo? ¹² Ndidzawakantha ndi mliri ndi kuwawononga. Koma ndidzakusandutsa iwe mtundu waukulu ndi wamphamvu kuposa iwo.”

¹³ Mose anati kwa Yehova, “Aigupto adzamva zimenezi! Mwa mphamvu yanu munawatulutsa anthu amenewa pakati pawo. ¹⁴ Ndipo iwowo adzawuza anthu okhala mʼdziko lino zimenezi. Anthuwa amva kale kuti Inu Yehova mumakhala pakati pa anthu amenewa ndi kuti Inuyo Yehova mwawaonekera maso ndi maso. Mtambo wanu umakhala pamwamba pawo ndiponso mumayenda nawo mu mtambo woyima, masana ndi moto woyima, usiku. ¹⁵ Tsono mukawapha anthu onsewa nthawi imodzi, mayiko amene anamva za Inu adzati, ¹⁶ ‘Yehova walephera kuwalowetsa anthuwo mʼdziko lomwe anawalonjeza molumbira, ndipo wawapha mʼchipululu.’

¹⁷ “Chonde Ambuye wonetsani mphamvu yanu monga munalonjezera kuti, ¹⁸ ‘Yehova sakwiya msanga, ndipo ndi wodzaza ndi chikondi chosasinthika, wokhululukira tchimo ndi kuwukira. Koma Iye sadzaleka kulanga ochimwa. Iyeyo amalanga ana chifukwa cha tchimo la makolo awo kufikira mʼbado wachitatu ndi wachinayi.’ ¹⁹ Chifukwa cha kukula kwa chikondi chanu chosasinthika, akhululukireni anthuwa tchimo lawo monga mwakhala mukuwakhululukira kuchokera pa nthawi imene anachoka ku Igupto mpaka tsopano.”

²⁰ Yehova anayankha kuti, “Ndawakhululukira monga wapemphera. ²¹ Komabe, ndikunenetsa kuti pali Ine, ndiponso pamene dziko lapansi ladzaza ndi ulemerero wa Yehova, ²² palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe mwa anthu amene anaona ulemerero wanga ndi zizindikiro zozizwitsa zimene ndinazichita ku Igupto ndi mʼchipululu muno, koma osandimvera ndi kundiyesa kokwanira kakhumi, ²³ palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe wa anthu amenewa amene adzaone dziko limene ndinalonjeza ndi lumbiro kwa makolo awo. Aliyense amene anandinyoza sadzaliona dzikolo. ²⁴ Koma mtumiki wanga Kalebe, pakuti ali ndi mtima wosiyana ndi ena ndiponso amanditsatira ndi mtima wonse, ndidzamulowetsa mʼdziko limene anapitamolo ndipo zidzukulu zake zidzalandira dzikolo ngati cholowa chawo. ²⁵ Ndipo popeza kuti Aamaleki ndi Akanaani akukhala ku chigwa, mawa mubwerere ndipo mupite ku chipululu podzera ku Nyanja Yofiira.”

²⁶ Yehova anawuza Mose ndi Aaroni kuti, ²⁷ “Kodi anthu oyipawa adzangʼungʼudza ndi kutsutsana nane mpaka liti? Ndamva madandawulo a Aisraeli ongʼungʼudzawa. ²⁸ Tsono awuze kuti, ‘Ndikulumbira pali Ine,’ akutero Yehova, ‘Ndidzakuchitirani zinthu zonse zimene ndamva inu mukunena: ²⁹ Mitembo yanu idzakhala ili ngundangunda mʼchipululu muno; mtembo wa munthu aliyense pakati panu amene ali ndi zaka makumi awiri kapena kupitirirapo, amene anawerengedwa pa chiwerengero chija ndipo anangʼungʼudza motsutsana nane. ³⁰ Palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe mwa inu amene adzalowe mʼdziko lomwe ndinalumbira mokweza manja kuti likhale lanu, kupatula Kalebe mwana wa Yefune ndi Yoswa mwana wa Nuni. ³¹ Koma ana anu amene mukunena kuti adzatengedwa ngati katundu wolanda ku nkhondo, Ine ndidzawalowetsa kuti akasangalale mʼdziko limene munalikana. ³² Koma inu mitembo yanu idzakhala ngundangunda mʼchipululu muno. ³³ Ana anu adzakhala abusa mʼchipululu muno zaka makumi anayi, kuvutika chifukwa cha kusakhulupirika kwanu, mpaka munthu womaliza mwa inu atafa mʼchipululu muno. ³⁴ Mudzavutika chifukwa cha machimo anu kwa zaka makumi anayi Chaka chimodzi chikuyimira tsiku limodzi la masiku makumi anayi amene munakazonda dziko lija ndipo mudzadziwa kuyipa kwake kwa kukangana ndi Ine.’ ³⁵ Ine Yehova, ndanena, ndidzachitadi zimenezi kwa anthu onse oyipawa, amene agwirizana kunditsutsa. Adzathera mʼchipululu momwe muno, adzafera muno basi.”

³⁶ Ndipo anthu amene Mose anawatuma kukazonda dziko aja anachoka pamaso pake nachititsa gulu lonse la anthu kuwukira Moseyo chifukwa chofalitsa mbiri yoyipa ya dzikolo. ³⁷ Anthu amene ankafalitsa mbiri yoyipa ya dzikolo anakanthidwa ndi mliri ndipo anafa pamaso pa Yehova. ³⁸ Mwa anthu amene anakaona dzikolo, Yoswa mwana wa Nuni ndi Kalebe mwana wa Yefune ndi okhawo amene anapulumuka.

³⁹ Mose atafotokoza izi kwa Aisraeli onse, anthuwo analira kwambiri. ⁴⁰ Mmamawa tsiku linalo anapita mbali ya ku dziko la mapiri. Iwo anati, “Tachimwa, tipita ku dziko limene Yehova anatilonjeza.”

⁴¹ Koma Mose anati, “Chifukwa chiyani simukumvera lamulo la Yehova? Zimenezi sizitheka! ⁴² Musapite chifukwa Yehova sali pakati panu. Mudzagonjetsedwa ndi adani anu ⁴³ chifukwa kumeneko mukakumana ndi Aamaleki ndi Akanaani. Popeza mwaleka kutsata Yehova, Iyeyo sadzakhala nanu ndipo mudzaphedwa ndi lupanga.”

⁴⁴ Komabe mwa maganizo awo anapita molunjika dziko la mapiri ngakhale kuti Mose sanachoke ndi Bokosi la Chipangano la Yehova pa msasa. ⁴⁵ Koma Aamaleki ndi Akanaani amene ankakhala ku dziko lamapirilo anatsika ndi kumenyana nawo ndipo anawakantha mʼnjira yonse mpaka ku Horima.

Mtsikana Womwalira ndi Mayi Wodwala

²¹ Yesu atawolokeranso pa bwato kupita mbali ina ya nyanja, gulu lalikulu la anthu linasonkhana momuzungulira. Ali mʼmbali mwa nyanja, ²² mmodzi wa akulu a mʼsunagoge, dzina lake Yairo anafika pamenepo. Ataona Yesu, anagwa pa mapazi ake, ²³ ndi kumudandaulira kwambiri nati, “Mwana wanga wamkazi wamngʼono ali pafupi kufa. Chonde tiyeni kuti mukamusanjike manja kuti akachiritsidwe nakhala ndi moyo.” ²⁴ Ndipo Yesu anapita naye.

Gulu lalikulu la anthu linamutsata ndi kumamupanikiza Iye. ²⁵ Pomwepo panali mayi amene amadwala nthenda yotaya magazi kwa zaka khumi ndi ziwiri. ²⁶ Iye anavutika kwambiri pamene asingʼanga ambiri ankamusamalira ndipo anagwiritsa ntchito zonse anali nazo, koma mʼmalo mochira, nthenda yake inkakulakulabe. ²⁷ Atamva za Yesu, anabwera kumbuyo kwake mʼgulu la anthu ndipo anakhudza mkanjo wake, ²⁸ chifukwa anaganiza kuti, “Ngati nditangokhudza mkanjo wake, ndidzachiritsidwa.” ²⁹ Nthawi yomweyo magazi ake analeka kutuluka ndipo anamva mʼthupi mwake kuti wamasulidwa ku vuto lake.

³⁰ Pomwepo Yesu anazindikira kuti mphamvu inachoka mʼthupi mwake. Anatembenuka mʼgulu la anthu ndipo anafunsa kuti, “Ndani wakhudza zovala zanga?”

³¹ Ophunzira ake anayankha kuti, “Mukuona kuti anthu akukupanikizani, ndipo Inu mukufunsa kuti, ‘Ndani wandikhudza?’ ”

³² Koma Yesu anapitirizabe kuyangʼana kuti aone amene anachita zimenezi. ³³ Kenaka mayi uja pozindikira chimene chinamuchitikira, anabwera ndi kugwa pa mapazi ake, ndipo akunjenjemera ndi mantha, anamuwuza zoona zokhazokha. ³⁴ Anati kwa iye, “Mwana wamkazi, chikhulupiriro chako chakuchiritsa. Pita mu mtendere ndipo khala womasulidwa ku mavuto ako.”

³⁵ Pamene Yesu ankayankhulabe, amuna ena anafika kuchokera ku nyumba ya Yairo, mkulu wa sunagoge. Iwo anati, “Mwana wanu wamkazi wamwalira, muvutitsiranjinso aphunzitsiwa?”

³⁶ Posasamala zomwe ananena, Yesu anamuwuza mkulu wa sunagoge uja kuti, “Usachite mantha; ingokhulupirira.”

³⁷ Iye sanalole munthu wina aliyense kuti amutsatire koma Petro, Yakobo ndi Yohane mʼbale wa Yakobo. ³⁸ Atafika ku nyumba ya mkulu wa sunagoge, Yesu anaona chipiringu cha anthu akulira ndi kufuwula kwambiri. ³⁹ Analowa nati kwa iwo, “Mukuchita phokoso ndi kulira chifukwa chiyani? Mwanayu sanamwalire koma ali mtulo.” ⁴⁰ Koma anamuseka Iye.

Atawatulutsa onse panja, Iye anatenga abambo ndi amayi ake a mwanayo ndi ophunzira omwe anali naye, ndipo analowa mʼmene munali mwanayo. ⁴¹ Anagwira dzanja lake nanena kwa iye, “Talita Kumi!” (Kutanthauza kuti, “Mtsikana, ndikunena ndi iwe, imirira!”) ⁴² Nthawi yomweyo anayimirira nayenda mozungulira (anali wa zaka khumi ndi ziwiri). Pa ichi onse anadabwa kwambiri. ⁴³ Anawalamulira kwambiri kuti asawuze wina aliyense za ichi, ndipo anawawuza kuti amupatse kanthu koti adye.
