NSOLO WA REVISTA | TINATHIMBANA TANI NA KUPSWIPA NTIMA

Kupswipa Ntima Thangwi Ya Kobiri

Paul baba wa ana awiri alonga: “Thangwi ya kukwira kwa ntengo wa pinthu n’dziko yathu, cakudya cadzasoweka pontho cikhadhula kakamwe. Tikhalimira pa nzera midzidzi mizinji, mbwenye kazinji kene cakudya cikhamala mbitidzati fika pa mbuto inaguliswa ico. Anthu akhaonda kakamwe na njala, pontho anango akhagwa n’njira. Ntengo wa pinthu pyakufunika ukhadakwira kakamwe. Pakumalisira, kobiri ya dziko yatcitha ntengo. Ndaluza konta yanga yakubhanko, phaso yacitsidzikizo na kobiri ya phanceni.”

Toera kupulumusa banjace, Paul akhadziwa kuti akhafunika kuphatisira ‘udziwisi wakuphindulisa.’ (Misangani 3:21) Iye afokotoza: “Ndikhali na kompanyia yakusasanya pya magesi, mbwenye ndikhacita basa yonsene ikhagumana ine, ngakhale basa yakulipa kobiri yakucepa kakamwe. Anango akhandilipa cakudya peno pyombo pya n’nyumba. Ndingalipwa mabhara manai a sabau, ndikhaphatisira mawiri na anango ndikhaagulisa. Mwakukhonda dembuka ndagula anapiye 40. Pidakula iwo, ndaagulisa mbandigula anango 300. Mukupita kwa ndzidzi, ndacinjisa nkhuku 50 na masakha mawiri a ufa a makilu 50. Na masakha anewa, ndadyesa banja yanga na mabanja anango mu ndzidzi uzinji.”

Paul akhadziwambo kuti cinthu cakufunika kucita piringana pyonsene ndi kunyindira Mulungu. Tingacita pinafuna Mulungu, iye anatiphedza. Thangwi ya pinthu pyakufunika mu umaso, Yezu alonga: ‘Lekani kupswipa ntima; thangwi . . . Baba wanu asadziwa kuti pyenepi pisafunika kuli imwe.’​—Luka 12:29-31.

Mwakutsukwalisa, nyamalwa wankulu wa Mulungu, Sathani, asacitisa anthu azinji kuikha manyerezero ku pinthu pyakumanungo basi mu umaso wawo. Anthu asadzudzumika kakamwe thangwi ya pyakufuna pyawo, pyandimomwene peno pyakunyerezera, mbapitiriza kupswipa ntima thangwi ya pinthu pyakuti mwandimomwene nee asapifuna. Azinji asakwata mangawa, mbapfundza munjira yakunentsa kuti ‘nyamangawa asakhala bitcu kuna nyakufiyarisi.’​—Misangani 22:7.

Anthu anango asacita pisankhulo pyakutsukwalisa. Paul alonga: “Anyakuendekana anga azinji asiya mabanja awo na axamwali awo toera kusaka makhaliro adidi kunja kwa dziko yawo. Anango adaenda nee akhali na maphaso akupita nawo dziko inango, natenepa acimwana kugumana basa. Kazinji kene akhathawa apolixa mbagona m’miseu. Iwo nee apasa Mulungu mwai toera kuaphedza. Mbwenye ife tatonga kuthimbana na nyatwa ya kobiri pabodzi ninga banja na ciphedzo ca Mulungu.”

KUTOWEZERA UPHUNGU WA YEZU

Paul apitiriza: “Yezu alonga: ‘Lekani kutsamali pya ntsiku ya mangwana, thangwi ntsiku ya mangwana iri na pinthu pyayo. Nyatwa za ntsiku yonsene zinakwana pa ntsiku ineyi.’ Ndi thangwi yace maphembero anga a ntsiku zonsene akhali akuti Mulungu ‘tipaseni lero cakudya cathu ca lero’ toera tikhale maso. Iye asatiphedza ninga pidapikira Yezu. Kazinji kene nee tikhagumana cakudya cikhafuna ife. Ntsiku inango, ndakhala pa nzera toera kugula cakudya mbandikhonda kudziwa kuti ninji pikhaguliswa. Mudafika ine cifupi, ndaona kuti akhali iogurte. Nee ndikhafuna iogurte. Mbwenye cikhali cakudya, natenepa masiku anewa tadya iogurte. Ndisapereka takhuta kuna Mulungu thangwi mu ndzidzi unoyu banja yanga cipo yagona na njala.”a

“Cincino nee tisanentsekabve toera kugumana kobiri. Mbwenye kubulukira mu pinthu pidathimbana na ife, tapfundza kuti ntombwe ukulu wakumalisa kupswipa ntima ndi kunyindira Mulungu. Ndzidzi onsene Yahovab anadzatiphedza tingapitiriza kucita cifuno cace. Ife taona undimomwene unalongwa pa Masalmo 34:8, NM: ‘Lawirani mbamuona kuti Yahova ndi wadidi; nyakutsandzaya ndi munthu anathawira kwa iye.’ Na thangwi ineyi, ife nee tisagopabve kuthimbana na makhaliro akusowa kobiri.

“Cincino tisabvesesa mwadidi kuti pinafuna anthu toera kukhala maso nee ndi basa peno kobiri, mbwenye cakudya. Tisadikhira na ntima onsene ndzidzi unafuna kudzakwanirisika pikiro ya Mulungu: ‘Pa dziko yonsene panadzakhala utende.’ Mu ndzidzi uno, ‘ngakhala tiri na cakudya na cakubvala, tikwane napyo.’ Tisawangiswa kakamwe na mafala awa a m’Bhibhlya: ‘Umaso wanu ukhale wakukhonda funa kobiri, mukwane na pire pina imwe. Thangwi iye alonga: “Cipo ndinadzakusiya, mbandidzakukhonda.” Toera tikhale na cipapo mbatilonga: ‘Yahova ndi mphedzi wanga, sinadzagopa pinthu tayu.’”c

Pisafunika cikhulupiro cakuwanga toera ‘kufamba na Mulungu’ ninga pinacita Paul na banjace. (Genesi 6:9) Khala tisathimbana na nkandzo wa kobiri cincino peno ntsogolo, citsandzo ca cikhulupiro ca Paul na kuphatisira kwace udziwisi wakuphindulisa pisatipfundzisa pinthu pyakufunika kakamwe.

Mphapo ndiye tani khala nyatwa za m’banja zisaticitisa kukhala akupswipa ntima?
