Alma
A alma é a parte mais íntima do ser humano — sede da vida, dos afetos e do encontro com Deus. A Bíblia convida a cuidar da alma com zelo e a aquietá-la diante do Senhor.
A alma diante de Deus
Bendize ao Senhor, ó minha alma! A alma suspira por Deus como a corça suspira pelas águas — com sede de eternidade.
Leka nene nimtunye IMNDEWA,
na apfila pfose ipfili mghati mwangu pfilitunye litaghwa lyake ilyelile.
Ghwe Imulungu, ghweghwe kwa Imulungu wangu,
nitsokubama kwa ghumoyo ghwangu ghwose,
ghumoyo ghwangu ghwokwonela ng’ilu,
na ilukuli lwangu lwokulolela ghweghwe,
nokwonela ng’ilu mna isi isakale na ilalile ilihela matsi.
Nighutsa nimwenyegho, hebali nitsinika apfino?
Heule nikwalangula apfino mmoyo?
Na nene nitsomlolela Imulungu, kwaapfila nitsomtunya yeye keli na keli,
iyali Imulungu wangu na iyonikombola.
Ghumoyo ghwangu ghombeta Imulungu yaliyeka,
ukombotsi wangu wolawa kuna yeye.
Nene nombeta IMNDEWA, ghumoyo ghwangu ghobetetsa,
nene nehuwila longa lyake.
Imilomo yangu itsakwimba kwa kusekelela,
hanikwimba nikutunye ghweghwe,
nene ghendo ayula yunikombole.
Ghamalangulitso gha IMNDEWA ghenelela,
ghomwing’a imunu ugima,
imiko ya IMNDEWA yotogholeka,
yomwing’a hekima imunu ayula iyalihela nayo.
Ghweghwe kuniumba pfiungo pfangu pfa mghati,
na nibasa hamwe lida lya mai wangu.
Nitsolonga mighede kwaapfila niumbighwa kwa ukukangawatsa na kwa ukupfukighwa,
ghamatendo ghako ghokangawatsa,
na nene konimanya ghendo.
Ghwe IMNDEWA, unikombole,
kulawa kwa iwanu wana imilomo ya ughutsu,
na wana imilimi ya ung’enye.
Cuidar da alma
Que aproveita ao homem ganhar o mundo inteiro e perder a sua alma? Buscar a Deus de toda alma é o caminho da vida.
Apfi imunu yatsobweda choni yang’apata isi yose, lekeni kawaghitsa ugima wake? Au imunu yatsolapfa choni yaupate keli ugima wake?
Yesu kedika, " ‘Mnoghele Imtwatsa Imulungu wako kwa ghumoyo ghwako ghose, kwa muhe wako wose, na kwa tsimbutsi tsako tsose.’
Mleke kuwapfuka awala iwokoma ilukuli lekeni ng’awodaha baye kuikoma iloho; ila mumpfuke ayula iyodaha kupfihinya pfose, ilukuli hamwe na iloho mna ghumoto ghwa jehanamu.
Lekeni ako, mng’ambama IMNDEWA, Imulungu wenu mtsomwona ka mtsombama kwa ghumoyo ghwenu ghwose, na kwa ghumuhe ghwenu ghwose.
Mwalangitse kughakinda malaghitso ghayawalongele Musa imtumwa wa IMNDEWA, mumkunde IMNDEWA Imulungu wenu, mtende ghayobama yeye, mkinde malaghitso ghake na mwikinde naye, na mumsang’anile yeye kwa ghumoyo ghwenu ghwose na kwa ghumuhe ghwenu ghwose."
"Matsuwa ghangu gha ukuhupa ghapfika. Mwemwe mwose mwomanya ghendo mna imimoyo yenu na mna tsimuhe tsenu, ka ghose ighanoghile IMNDEWA, Imulungu wenu ghayelaghane na mwemwe ghalawila. Chila chinu chayelaghane na mwemwe chilawila, kuduhu hata chinu chimwe ing’ana chilawile baye.
Malonga gha uluso gheghala la lisegha lya uki, ghamta mmoyo na ghoitenda mipate yako iwe migima.
Sale yangu, nokulombela pfinu pfako pfighende ghoya na uwe mghima, ka muhe wako pfaughendelela ghoya.
