KwabaseRoma 10
1 Bazalwane, isifiso senhliziyo yami lomkhuleko wami kuNkulunkulu ngabako-Israyeli yikuba basindiswe.
Abale, chokhumba cha mtima wanga ndi pemphero langa kwa Mulungu ndi chakuti Aisraeli apulumutsidwe.
2 Ngoba ngingafakaza ngabo ukuthi batshisekela uNkulunkulu, kodwa ukutshiseka kwabo akugxilanga ekwazini.
Popeza ndiwachitira umboni kuti ndi achangu pa zinthu za Mulungu koma osati mwachidziwitso.
3 Njengoba ukulunga okuvela kuNkulunkulu bengakwazanga bafuna ukumisa okwabo, kabavumanga ukuzibeka ngaphansi kokulunga kukaNkulunkulu.
Pakuti sanadziwe chilungamo chochokera kwa Mulungu ndipo anafuna kukhazikitsa chawochawo. Iwo sanagonjere chilungamo cha Mulungu.
4 UKhristu uyisiphetho somthetho ukuze kube lokulunga kubo bonke abakholwayo.
Khristu ndiye mathero amalamulo kuti aliyense amene akhulupirira akhale olungama pamaso pa Mulungu.
5 UMosi ukuchaza ngale indlela ukulunga okungomthetho: “Umuntu owenza izinto lezi uzaphila ngazo.”
Mose akulemba motere zachilungamo cha malamulo, “Munthu amene achita zinthu izi adzakhala ndi moyo pozichita.”
6 Kodwa ukulunga okungokukholwa kuthi: “Ungabokutsho enhliziyweni yakho ukuthi, ‘Ngubani ozakwenyukela ezulwini na?’” (okuyikuthi, ukwehlisa uKhristu)
Koma chilungamo cha chikhulupiriro chikuti, “Usanene mu mtima mwako kuti, ‘Kodi ndani amene akwere kumwamba?’” (ndiko, kukatsitsa Khristu)
7 “loba, ‘Ngubani ozakwehlela ekuzikeni kolwandle na?’” (okuyikuthi, ukuvusa uKhristu kwabafileyo). (Abyssos g12)
“kapena ‘Ndani adzatsikira ku dziko la anthu akufa?’” (ndiko, kukamutenga Khristu kwa akufa). (Abyssos g12)
8 Kodwa kuthini na? “Ilizwi liseduze lawe, lisemlonyeni wakho lasenhliziyweni yakho,” lokho yikuthi, ilizwi lokukholwa esilitshumayelayo:
Nanga akuti chiyani? “Mawu ali pafupi ndi inu. Ali mʼkamwa mwanu ndi mu mtima mwanu.” Ndiwo mawu achikhulupiriro amene ife tikuwalalikira,
9 nxa uvuma ngomlomo wakho usithi, “UJesu uyiNkosi,” njalo ukholwa enhliziyweni yakho ukuthi uNkulunkulu wamvusa kwabafileyo, uzasindiswa.
kuti ngati udzavomereza ndi pakamwa pako kuti, “Yesu ndiye Ambuye,” ndi kukhulupirira mu mtima mwako kuti Mulungu anamuukitsa kwa akufa, udzapulumuka.
10 Ngoba ukholwa ngenhliziyo yakho njalo ulungiswa ngayo, njalo kungomlomo wakho ovuma ngawo usindiswe.
Pakuti ndi mtima wanu mukhulupirira ndi kulungamitsidwa, ndipo ndi pakamwa panu muvomereza ndi kupulumutsidwa.
11 Njengoba uMbhalo usithi, “Loba ngubani okholwa kuye akayikuyangiswa.”
Pakuti Malemba akuti, “Aliyense amene akhulupirira Iye, sadzachititsidwa manyazi.”
12 Ngoba kawukho umahluko phakathi komJuda loweZizwe, iNkosi yinye iyiNkosi yabo bonke njalo iyababusisa kakhulu bonke abakhuleka kuyo,
Pakuti palibe kusiyana pakati pa Myuda ndi a mitundu ina, pakuti Ambuye mmodzi yemweyo ndi Ambuye wa onse ndipo amadalitsa mochuluka onse amene ayitana pa Iye
13 ngoba, “Wonke obiza ibizo likaThixo uzasindiswa.”
pakuti, “Aliyense amene adzayitana pa dzina la Ambuye adzapulumuka.”
14 Pho, bangakhuleka kanjani kulowo abangakholwa kuye? Njalo bangakholwa njani kulowo abangakaze bezwe ngaye na? Njalo bangezwa njani kungekho otshumayela kubo na?
Kodi adzayitana bwanji amene sanamukhulupirire? Ndipo adzakhulupirira bwanji asanamve za Iye? Ndipo adzamva bwanji popanda wina kulalikira kwa iwo?
15 Njalo bangatshumayela njani ngaphandle kokuba bethunyiwe na? Njengoba kulotshiwe ukuthi, “Yeka ubuhle bezinyawo zalabo abaletha izindaba ezinhle!”
Ndipo iwo adzalalikira bwanji osatumidwa? Kwalembedwa kuti, “Akongoladi mapazi a iwo amene amabweretsa Uthenga Wabwino!”
16 Kodwa akusibo bonke abako-Israyeli abazamukelayo izindaba ezinhle. Ngoba u-Isaya uthi, “Nkosi, ngubani olikholiweyo ilizwi lethu na?”
Koma si onse amene anavomereza Uthenga Wabwino. Pakuti Yesaya akuti, “Ambuye, ndani amene wakhulupirira uthenga wathu?”
17 Ngakho-ke, ukukholwa kuvela ekuzweni ilizwi, lelizwi lizwakala ngelizwi likaKhristu.
Motero, chikhulupiriro chimabwera pamene timva uthenga ndipo uthenga umamveka kuchokera ku mawu a Khristu.
18 Kodwa ngiyabuza ngithi: Kabezwanga na? Impela bezwa ukuthi: “Ilizwi labo liphumile laya kuwo wonke umhlaba, amazwi abo emikhawulweni yomhlaba.”
Koma ndikufunsa kuti kodi iwo anamva? Inde, iwo anamva kuti, “Liwu lawo linamveka ponseponse pa dziko lapansi. Mawu awo anafika ku malekezero a dziko lonse.”
19 Ngiyabuza njalo ngithi: U-Israyeli kaqedisisanga na? Kuqala uMosi uthi, “Mina ngizalenza libe lomona kulabo abangasiso sizwe; ngizalenza lithukuthelele isizwe esingelakho ukuqedisisa.”
Ine ndifunsanso kuti, kodi Israeli sanazindikire? Poyamba Mose akuti, “Ine ndidzawachititsa kuti achite nsanje ndi mtundu wina wopandapake. Ine ndidzawakwiyitsa ndi mtundu wina wachabechabe.”
20 Lo-Isaya ukhuluma ngesibindi uthi, “Ngatholwa yilabo ababengangidingi; ngazibonakalisa kulabo abangangicelanga.”
Ndipo Yesaya molimba mtima akuti, “Anandipeza anthu amene sanali kundifunafuna. Ndinadzionetsera kwa amene sanafunse za Ine.”
21 Kodwa mayelana lo-Israyeli uthi, “Ilanga lonke ngelulele izandla zami ebantwini abangalaleliyo labayiziqholo futhi.”
Koma zokhudzana ndi Aisraeli akuti, “Tsiku lonse ndinatambasulira manja anga kwa anthu osandimvera ndi okanika.”
