Materialismo
O materialismo é uma armadilha espiritual. A Bíblia alerta que o amor ao dinheiro é raiz de todos os males e nos chama a buscar tesouros no céu, não na terra.
O perigo das riquezas
Que aproveita ao homem ganhar o mundo inteiro e perder a sua alma? O materialismo engana e afasta do que realmente importa.
Peni mundu ywakaghuhobheha ubhumi ghwake kwakya nenga kataghumokola. Bhuli, mundu katamokola niki handa pakaghumukola utopelo ghwoha ghwa unnima na kunu kanguhobheha ubhumimi ghwake? Ebu mundu katabhuha kilibhi ghani kihyengo kya ubhumi ghwake?
Mundu katamota niki handa kataghukamula nnima ghwoha na kuuhobheha ubhumi ghwake? Kabhone kumota kyoheli.
Peni bhandu bhaapala kubhegha na utopelo bhaaghwegha mu mayigho, na bhaghomehwa mu tama ndangalo ya uhila mahala, ghughubhahuta mbaka mu kuhanjanganwa na kukanjaghanwa.
Kiyaha tukikighegha ng’obhe kilibhi kyohele pannima apa, na twakitola ng’obhe kilibhi kyohele apa pannima. Peni handa tubhegha na hilyo na maghwanda, twaayukuta naywo.
Kiyaha tukikighegha ng’obhe kilibhi kyohele pannima apa, na twakitola ng’obhe kilibhi kyohele apa pannima. Peni handa tubhegha na hilyo na maghwanda, twaayukuta naywo.
Tesouros no céu
Ajuntai tesouros no céu, onde traça e ferrugem não consomem. O bom nome vale mais que muitas riquezas, e a sabedoria supera o ouro.
Luhanja lwa Kunane kwa Chapanga
"Nkotoke kulibhikila luhanja apa pannima, pahala pene hipuluputu na kutu bhanguhanjaghana, na bhanabhwihi bhangutungunyula na kuyibha. Ngati mulibhikile mihanja hyenu kunani kwa Chapanga kwene hipuluputu na kutu bhanguhanjaghana ng’obhe, ebu bhanabhwihi bhangutungunyula kata na kuyibha.
Kiyaha palubheghite luhanja lwako, apo ndo mwoyo ghwako ghungubhegha."
Yesu kakinng’ombela, "Handa paghupala kubhegha ntwihiiko, ghughende ghukahemengane hilibhi hyoha highubheghite nahyo na ngalabha ahyo ghukaapeghe kapukwa, na ghwabhegha na utopelo ghwa kunani kwa Chapanga, mbole ghuhike ghundughile."
Contentamento e generosidade
Grande ganho é a piedade com contentamento. A cobiça é idolatria, mas a generosidade traz alegria e bênção.
Kulyaghila kutama kwa kya Chapanga na kuyukuta ndo utopelo nkulu.
Ghubhakwilikihe bhandu bhaabheghite na utopelo mu nnima aghu bhaleke kulidumba, ebu bhakotoke kubhika uhyubhalilo ghwabhe mu utopelo ghwabhe ghuubheghite kilibhi kya yaghi, hangi bhabhike uhyubhalilo ghwabhe kwa Chapanga ywene ywakatupegha hilibhi hyoha kwa utangalo ngati tuhitumile tuyelelwe nahyo.
Nkotoke kubhegha bhandu bha kupala mbiya, nnyukutwe na hilibhi himmeghite naywo. Kiyaha mwene Chapanga kalongela, "Kulyaghila ndabhaleka ng’obhe kubhatagha"
Matamilo gha makachu na matamilo gha uhyono
Basi, mukikome kyohele kiibheghite nkati yenu kyene ndo kya munnima. Utyahe, kinyakali, kilyakalyaka, tama hakataho na mahwacho mahakata, ghene ndo tela na kutundamila ming’omong’omo.
Ndo Yesu kakiaghombela, "Mulindakile na mulikingikihe na kila ughwimi ghwa utopelo. Kiyaha ubhumi ghwa mundu ghunguhuma ng’obhe mu utopelo ghwakabheghite naghwo."
O invisível acima do visível
As coisas que se veem são temporais; as que não se veem são eternas. Devemos fixar os olhos no que é permanente e verdadeiro.
Habhu tungulolekeha milando yingabhonekana, na chepa milando yinakubhonekana. Mana ghala ghatughabhona ndo gha nndaluko ghwa mandina hela, ngati ghala ghangabhonekana ndo gha manjubha ghoha.
Ubhwabhu abhu, pohele pankongana na kunnyupa Chapanga, nungupala adala bhaanhyubhalila Chapanga ahwale handa payinogha uhokamo paakibhegha na ng’endelo yiinogha, chepa kwa kupota hwili, ebu kuhwala hilibhi hya mahabha, maganga gha utopelo ebu lulu ebu mapinda gha ngalabha ngulu, ngati bhalilembe kwa ndendelo ya maha handa payibhapalite adala bhaakambuka kukita anghuntundamila Chapanga.
Bhaanhyubhalilite Yesu bhangutama handa alongo
Lumati lwoha lwa bhaanhyubhalilite Yesu lukibha na mwoyo ghumu na mahwacho ghamo. Hangi kahone mundu yumu ywakalongeliti k kyakabheghite nakyo ndo kyake mwene ghweka, peni bhakighabhana hilibhi hyoha hyaabheghiti naywo.
