18 Kodi alipo Mulungu wofanana nanu,

13 Monga bambo amachitira chifundo ana ake,

choncho Yehova ali ndi chifundo ndi iwo amene amamuopa;

15 Koma sitingafananitse mphatso yaulereyo ndi kuchimwa kwa anthu. Pakuti ngati anthu ambiri anafa chifukwa cha kuchimwa kwa munthu mmodziyo, kuli koposa bwanji nanga chisomo cha Mulungu ndi mphatso zomwe zinabwera ndi chisomo cha munthu mmodzi, Yesu Khristu, ndi kusefukira kwa ambiri!

15 Nʼchiyani tsono? Kodi tidzichimwa chifukwa sitikulamulidwa ndi Malamulo koma chisomo? Ayi. Mʼnjira iliyonse ayi!

4 Koma chifukwa cha chikondi chake chachikulu pa ife, Mulungu amene ndi olemera mʼchifundo, 5 anatipanga kukhala amoyo ndi Khristu ngakhale pamene ife tinali akufa mu zolakwa zathu. Koma tinapulumutsidwa mwachisomo.

9 Koma anandiwuza kuti, "Chisomo changa ndi chokukwanira, pakuti mphamvu zanga zimaoneka kwathunthu mwa munthu wofowoka." Choncho ndidzadzitamandira mokondwera chifukwa cha zofowoka zanga, kuti mʼkutero mphamvu ya Khristu ikhale pa ine.

13 Wobisa machimo ake sadzaona mwayi,

koma aliyense amene awulula ndi kuleka machimowo, adzalandira chifundo.

7 Woyipa asiye makhalidwe ake oyipa,

ndipo wosalungama asinthe maganizo ake oyipa.

Abwerere kwa Yehova, ndipo adzamuchitira chifundo,

18 Komatu Yehova akufunitsitsa kuti akukomereni mtima,

Pakuti Yehova ndi Mulungu wachilungamo.

Ndi odala onse amene amakhulupirira Iye!

13 Koma pitani kaphunzireni tanthauzo la mawu awa: ‘Ndimafuna chifundo osati nsembe ayi.’ Pakuti sindinabwere kudzayitana olungama koma ochimwa."

21 Kenaka Petro anabwera kwa Yesu ndi kumufunsa kuti, "Ambuye, kodi mʼbale wanga akandichimwira ndimukhululukire kokwanira kangati? Mpaka kasanu nʼkawiri?"

22 Yesu anayankha kuti, "Ine ndikukuwuza iwe kuti osati kasanu nʼkawiri, koma ka 70 kuchulukitsa ndi kasanu nʼkawiri.

14 Ngati inu mukhululukira anthu pamene akuchimwirani, Atate anu akumwamba adzakukhululukirani.

31 Komabe mwachifundo chanu chachikulu simuwatheretu kapena kuwataya pakuti ndinu Mulungu wokoma mtima ndi wachifundo.

5 Zinthu zabwino zidzabwera kwa iye amene amapereka mowolowamanja ndi wokongoletsa mwaufulu,

16 Tiyeni tsono tiyandikire ku mpando waufumu, wachisomo mopanda mantha, kuti tilandire chifundo ndi kupeza chisomo chotithandiza pa nthawi yeniyeni.

1 Nʼchifukwa chake ine ndikukupemphani abale, mwa chifundo cha Mulungu, kuti mupereke matupi anu monga nsembe yamoyo, yopatulika ndi yokondweretsa Mulungu. Nsembeyi ndiye kupembedza kwanu kwa uzimu.

16 "Pakuti Mulungu anakonda dziko lapansi, kotero anapereka Mwana wake wobadwa yekha, kuti aliyense wokhulupirira Iye asatayike koma akhale ndi moyo wosatha.

29 Pakuti inu mwapatsidwa mwayi osati ongokhulupirira Khristu kokha, koma wakumva zowawa mʼmalo mwa Khristu.

1 Hezekiya anatumiza uthenga mʼdziko lonse la Israeli ndi ku Yuda ndiponso analemba makalata ku Efereimu ndi Manase, oyitana anthu kuti abwere ku Nyumba ya Yehova ku Yerusalemu kudzakondwerera Paska wa Yehova, Mulungu wa Israeli. 2 Mfumu ndi akuluakulu ake pamodzi ndi anthu onse a mu Yerusalemu anagwirizana kuti akondwerere Paska pa mwezi wachiwiri. 3 Iwo sanathe kukondwerera pa nthawi yake chifukwa si ansembe ambiri amene anadziyeretsa ndiponso anthu anali asanasonkhane mu Yerusalemu. 4 Chikonzerochi chinaoneka kuti chinali chabwino kwa mfumu pamodzi ndi anthu onse. 5 Iwo anagwirizana zoti alengeze mu Israeli monse kuyambira ku Beeriseba mpaka ku Dani, kuyitana anthu kuti abwere ku Yerusalemu ndi kudzakondwerera Paska wa Yehova, Mulungu wa Israeli. Si ambiri amene ankachita chikondwererochi monga momwe kunalembedwera.

6 Molamulidwa ndi mfumu, amithenga anapita mu Israeli yense ndi Yuda ndi makalata ochokera kwa mfumu ndi kwa akuluakulu ake, olembedwa kuti,

"Aisraeli bwererani kwa Yehova, Mulungu wa Abrahamu, Isake ndi Israeli, kuti abwerere kwa inu amene mwatsala, amene mwapulumuka mʼdzanja la mafumu a ku Asiriya. 7 Musakhale ngati makolo anu ndi abale anu, amene anali osakhulupirika kwa Yehova Mulungu wa makolo awo kotero kuti anawachititsa kuti akhale chinthu chochititsa mantha, monga mukuoneramu. 8 Musawumitse khosi monga anachitira makolo anu, Gonjerani Yehova. Bwerani ku malo opatulika, amene anawapatula kwamuyaya. Tumikirani Yehova Mulungu wanu kuti mkwiyo wake ukuchokereni. 9 Ngati inu mubwerera kwa Yehova, pamenepo abale anu ndi ana anu adzachitiridwa chifundo ndi amene anawagwira ukapolo ndipo adzabwereranso ku dziko lino pakuti Yehova, Mulungu wanu ndi wokoma mtima ndi wachifundo. Iye sadzakufulatirani ngati inuyo mubwerera kwa Iye."

10 Amithenga aja anapita mzinda ndi mzinda wa ku Efereimu ndi Manase mpaka ku Zebuloni, koma anthu anawanyoza ndi kuwachita chipongwe. 11 Komabe anthu ena a ku Aseri, Manase ndi Zebuloni anadzichepetsa ndipo anapita ku Yerusalemu. 12 Dzanja la Mulungu linalinso pa anthu a ku Yuda, kuwapatsa mtima umodzi wochita zimene mfumu ndi akuluakulu ake analamula potsata mawu a Yehova.

13 Gulu lalikulu la anthu linasonkhana mu Yerusalemu kudzachita chikondwerero cha Buledi Wopanda Yisiti pa mwezi wachiwiri. 14 Anachotsa mu Yerusalemu maguwa ofukizira lubani ndipo anakawaponya mʼchigwa cha Kidroni.

15 Iwo anapha mwana wankhosa wa Paska pa tsiku la 14 la mwezi wachiwiri. Ansembe ndi Alevi anachita manyazi ndipo anadziyeretsa ndi kubweretsa nsembe zopsereza ku Nyumba ya Yehova. 16 Ndipo anakhala mʼmalo awo a nthawi zonse potsatira zolembedwa mʼmalamulo a Mose munthu wa Mulungu. Ansembe anawaza magazi amene anawapatsa Alevi. 17 Popeza ambiri mʼgululo anali asanadziyeretse, Alevi anapha ana ankhosa a Paska a iwo amene, mwa mwambo, anali osayeretsedwa ndipo sakanatha kupereka ana ankhosa awo kwa Yehova. 18 Ngakhale kuti ambiri mwa anthu ochokera ku Efereimu, Manase, Isakara ndi Zebuloni sanadziyeretse okha, komabe anadya Paska motsutsana ndi zimene zinalembedwa. Koma Hezekiya anawapempherera, kunena kuti, "Yehova wabwino, khululukirani aliyense 19 amene wayika mtima wake kufunafuna Yehova, Mulungu wa makolo ake, ngakhale ali wosayeretsedwa molingana ndi malamulo a malo opatulika." 20 Ndipo Yehova anamvera Hezekiya ndipo anachiritsa anthuwo.

21 Aisraeli amene anali mu Yerusalemu anachita chikondwerero cha Buledi Wopanda Yisiti kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri akusangalala kwambiri, pamene Alevi ndi ansembe amayimbira Yehova tsiku lililonse, akuyimbira zida zamatamando za Yehova.

22 Hezekiya anayankhula molimbikitsa Alevi onse amene anaonetsa kumvetsa bwino za kutumikira Yehova. Kwa masiku asanu ndi awiri anadya gawo lawo ndi kupereka nsembe zachiyanjano ndi kutamanda Yehova, Mulungu wa makolo awo.

23 Ndipo msonkhano wonse unagwirizana zopitiriza chikondwerero kwa masiku ena asanu ndi awiri. Kotero kwa masiku ena asanu ndi awiri anachita chikondwererocho mosangalala. 24 Hezekiya mfumu ya Yuda anapereka ngʼombe zamphongo 1,000 ndi nkhosa ndi mbuzi 7,000 ku msonkhanoko ndipo akuluakulu ake anapereka ngʼombe zamphongo 1,000, nkhosa ndi mbuzi 10,000. Ansembe ambiri anadziyeretsa. 25 Gulu lonse la ku Yuda linasangalala, pamodzi ndi ansembe ndi Alevi ndi onse amene anasonkhana ochokera ku Israeli, kuphatikizanso alendo amene anachokera ku Israeli ndi amene amakhala ku Yuda. 26 Munali chikondwerero chachikulu mu Yerusalemu, pakuti kuyambira masiku a Solomoni mwana wa Davide mfumu ya Israeli sizinachitikepo zotere mu Yerusalemu. 27 Ansembe ndi Alevi anayimirira kudalitsa anthu, ndipo Mulungu anawamvera pakuti pemphero lawo linafika kumwamba, malo ake oyera.
