Chisankho Chopambana cha Mulungu
1 Ine ndikunena zoona mwa Khristu. Sindikunama ndipo chikumbumtima changa kudzera mwa Mzimu Woyera chikundichitira umboni. 2 Ndili ndi chisoni chachikulu ndipo ndikumva kupwetekeka kosalekeza mu mtima mwanga. 3 Pakuti ndikanafuna ine mwini nditatembereredwa ndi kuchotsedwa mwa Khristu chifukwa cha abale anga, amene ndi a mtundu wanga, 4 anthu Aisraeli. Iwo anasankhidwa kukhala ana. Mulungu anawapatsa ulemerero, anachita nawo mapangano, kuwapatsa Malamulo, Nyumba yopembedzeramo ndi malonjezano ake. 5 Awo ndi makolo athu. Kuchokera kwa iwo mʼthupi ndi kumene kunachokera makolo a Khristu Yesu amene ndi Mulungu wolamulira zinthu zonse, alemekezeke mpaka muyaya! Ameni.
6 Sikuti mawu a Mulungu analephera. Pakuti si onse obadwa mwa Israeli amene ndi Israeli. 7 Kapena kuti ana ake chifukwa anachokera mwa Abrahamu. Koma zidzukulu zako zidzachokera mwa Isake. 8 Kutanthauza kuti, si ana obadwa mʼthupi amene ndi ana a Mulungu koma ndi ana a lonjezano amene amatengedwa kukhala zidzukulu za Abrahamu. 9 Pakuti Mulungu analonjeza ponena kuti, “Pa nthawi yake ngati yomwe ino chaka chamawa ndidzabweranso, ndipo Sara adzakhala ndi mwana wamwamuna.”
10 Ndipo si pokhapo ayi. Ana awiri a Rebeka aja abambo awo anali mmodzi, kholo lathu Isake. 11 Komabe, ana amapasawa asanabadwe kapena asanachite chilichonse chabwino kapena choyipa, nʼcholinga choti chifuniro cha Mulungu chosankhiratu munthu aliyense chipitirire, 12 osati chifukwa cha ntchito za munthu koma chifuniro cha Iye mwini, anawuza Rebeka kuti, “Wamkulu adzatumikira wamʼngʼono.” 13 Monga momwe kwalembedwa kuti, “Ine ndinakonda Yakobo, koma ndinamuda Esau.”
14 Nanga tsono tidzanena chiyani? Kodi Mulungu ndi osalungama? Ayi, ndi pangʼono pomwe! 15 Pakuti Mulungu anawuza Mose kuti,
“Ine ndidzachitira chifundo amene ndikufuna kumuchitira chifundo,
ndipo ndidzakomera mtima amene ndikufuna kumukomera mtima.”
16 Nʼchifukwa chake, izi sizitengera zokhumba za munthu kapena kuyesetsa koma chifundo cha Mulungu. 17 Malemba akuti Mulungu anamuwuza Farao kuti, “Ine ndakuyika kukhala mfumu ndi cholinga choti ndionetse mphamvu zanga, kuti mwa iwe dzina langa litchuke pa dziko lonse lapansi.” 18 Choncho Mulungu amachitira chifundo munthu amene akufuna kumuchitira chifundo ndipo amawumitsa mtima munthu amene Iye akufuna kumuwumitsa mtima.
19 Tsono mmodzi wa inu nʼkundifunsa kuti, “Nanga nʼchifukwa chiyani Mulungu amatipeza olakwa? Nanga ndani amene amakana chifuniro chake?” 20 Koma ndiwe yani, munthu wamba, woti nʼkutsutsana ndi Mulungu? “Kodi chimene chinawumbidwa nʼkufunsa amene anachiwumba kuti, ‘Kodi unandiwumbiranji motere?’ ” 21 Kodi wowumba alibe ufulu wowumba kuchokera ku dothi lomwelo mbiya yamtengowapatali ndi ina yamtengo wotsika?
22 Koma Mulungu, anafuna kuonetsa mkwiyo wake ndi kuti mphamvu yake idziwike. Iye anapirira modekha mtima kwambiri zochita za anthu omwe anawakwiyirawo amene anayeneradi chiwonongeko. 23 Iye anachita izi kufuna kuonetsa kulemera kwa ulemerero wake ndi kuti udziwike kwa amene analandira chifundo chake. Iye anawakonzeratu kuti alandire ulemerero wake 24 ngakhale ifenso amene anatiyitana osati kuchokera kwa Ayuda okha komanso kwa a mitundu ina. 25 Monga momwe Mulungu akunenera mʼbuku la Hoseya kuti,
“Amene sanali anthu anga ndidzawatcha ‘anthu anga;’
ndipo Ine ndidzatcha ‘wokondedwa wanga’ amene sali wokondedwa wanga,”
26 ndipo,
“Pamalo omwewo pamene ananena kuti,
‘Sindinu anthu anga,’
pomweponso adzawatchula kuti, ‘Ana a Mulungu wamoyo.’ ”
27 Yesaya anafuwula za Aisraeli kuti,
“Ngakhale chiwerengero cha Aisraeli chingakhale ngati mchenga wa ku nyanja,
otsala okha ndiye adzapulumuke.
28 Pakuti Ambuye adzagamula milandu
ya anthu pa dziko lapansi mofulumira ndi kumaliziratu.”
29 Monga momwe Yesaya ananena malo ena kuti,
“Ngati Yehova Wamphamvuzonse
akanapanda kutisiyira zidzukulu,
ife tikanawonongeka
ngati anthu a ku Sodomu, tikanakhala ngati anthu a ku Gomora.”

30 Kodi nanga tidzati chiyani? Tidzati a mitundu ina amene sanafune chilungamo analandira chilungamo chachikhulupiriro 31 koma Aisraeli, amene anafuna chilungamo cha lamulo sanachilandire. 32 Chifukwa chiyani? Chifukwa iwo sanachifune ndi chikhulupiriro koma ngati mwa ntchito. Iwo anapunthwa pa “Mwala wopunthwitsa.” 33 Monga momwe kwalembedwa kuti,
“Taonani, Ine ndikuyika mwala mu Ziyoni wopunthwitsa anthu,
thanthwe limene limagwetsa anthu.
Koma amene akhulupirira Iye sadzachititsidwa manyazi.”
