Dia das crianças
As crianças são preciosas aos olhos de Deus. Jesus as acolheu, abençoou e ensinou que delas é o Reino dos Céus — modelos de fé, pureza e humildade.
Jesus e as crianças
Deixai vir a mim as crianças. Jesus abraçou, abençoou e honrou as crianças como modelo de fé para os adultos.
Yesu nakalonga, "Muwaleche awo wana wadodo woye kwa heni, mleche kuwalemeza, mina undewa wa kilanga ndo wa wanhu wafandile kota wana awa."
Yalikohi yawele mng’hangala
Mhela wula walanguswa nawamlutila Yesu, nawamuuza, "Yalikohi yawele mkulu ng’hatu kuli undewa wa kilanga?" Yesu nakamchema mwana yumwe, kamwimiza hagati hawo, hamba nakalonga, "Ndanguwalonjelani ndikomya, wone hamgaluche na kuwa kota wana wadodo, hamkwinjila hebu kuli Undewa wa Nguluwi kilanga." Yoneche yochihanyisa kota mwana ayu, ayo ndo yawele mkulu kuli undewa wa kilanga.
Malanguso ga ing’holo lyajilile
"Milole! Mleche kumbeza yumwe wa wadodo wano. Ndanguwalonjelani, wahilisi wa kilanga wabaho mazuwa gose kumwando ha Mhaza wa heni yawele kilanga.
Lelo watambika wakulu na walangusa wa malajizo ga Musa nawazudila lowawene vinduzanduza vyoyaditile Yesu, na kahi wana lowali wochemelela kuli Ng’handa ya Nguluwi wolonga, "Lutogo kwa Mwana wa Daudi." Ahyo wamlonjela, "Ndaze, hulinguhulika chowolonga?" Yesu nakawedichila, "Ena, ndanguhulika! Ndaze, hamnasoma Maandiko aga?
" ‘Kwa kutogoligwa na wana wadodo na walingong’a,
wanguwa na lutogo ng’hatu.’ "
Ndanguwalonjelani ndikomya, munhu yoneche yohambe yabochele Undewa wa Nguluwi kota mwana mdodo, hokwinjila hebu amo." Hamba nakawapagata wana awo, nakawawichila moko, nakawatambichiza.
Hamba nakamhola mwana mdodo, nakamwimiza hagati ha hewo, nakamkumbatiza, hamba nakawalonjela, "Munhu yoneche yombochela mwana kota ayu kwa itagwa lya heni, kangumbochela heni, na yalingumbochela heni, halingumbochela heni ndiliyeka, ila kangumbochela heye yandajize."
Instruir e proteger
Instrui a criança no caminho de Deus. Elas são herança do Senhor — presentes sagrados que devemos educar com amor.
Umlanguse mwana ndaze vyoilinguganigwa kikala goya,
naye hosemwa mbaka kuli usekulu.
"Wanhu wa hegwe wolanguswa na heni Mkulu Nguluwi,
ndowadita walutilile goya ng’hatu.
Wana ndo utambichizo kulawa kwa Mkulu Nguluwi,
wana ndo ndolendole kulawa kwa heye.
Hemwe wana, muwahulichize wa mamo na wahaza wa hemwe kwa chila chinhu, kwa vila acho ndo chilingumnojeza Mkulu.
Namwe wahaza, mleche kuwadita wana wa hemwe wazudile kwa kuwaditila vibi, leka waleche kutweguka nhumbula.
Wana na wahaza na wamamo wa hewo
Hemwe wana, muwahulichize wahaza na mamo wa hemwe kota vyoyalingugana Mkulu, kwa vila ayo ndo mbuli inojile. "Wahulichize mhaza na mayako," Awu ndo mzilo wa mwaluko uwele na ilagano, "Leka wikale mhela winji kuli isi."
Hemwe namwe wahaza na wamamo, mleche kuwazudiza wana wa hemwe, ila muwalolele kwa kuwalangusa na kuwapa malanguso ga Mkulu wa hetwe Yesu Kilistu.
" ‘Mkulu Nguluwi nayawatambichize na kuwamila,
Mkulu Nguluwi nayawalole kwa isungu na kwa uganililo,
Mkulu Nguluwi nayawalajile kunoga kwa heye na kuwapani kikala goya.’
