Raiva
A raiva é uma emoção humana que a Bíblia trata com seriedade. Irar-se não é pecado em si, mas a ira descontrolada destrói relacionamentos e abre porta para o mal.
Controlar a ira
A Bíblia nos exorta a ser tardios para irar-se. A resposta branda desvia o furor, e o que se controla é mais forte que um guerreiro.
Hama dzangu dzinodikanwa, cherechedzai izvi: Munhu mumwe nomumwe anofanira kukurumidza kunzwa, kunonoka kutaura nokunonoka kutsamwa,
Mhinduro nyoro inodzora kutsamwa,
asi shoko rinorwadza rinomutsa hasha.
Munhu ane mwoyo murefu anonzwisisa,
asi munhu anokurumidza kutsamwa anoratidza upenzi.
Benzi rinobudisa hasha dzaro dzose,
asi munhu akachenjera anozvibata.
Benzi rinoratidza kutsamwa pakarepo,
asi munhu akachenjera anoshayira hanya kutukwa.
Irar-se sem pecar
Paulo ensina: irai-vos, mas não pequeis. Não deixe o sol se pôr sobre a vossa ira, para não dar lugar ao diabo.
"Mukutsamwa kwenyu, musatadza." Musarega zuva richivira muchakangotsamwa, uye musapa dhiabhori mukana.
Munhu achakudzwa kana akagara kure nokukakavara,
asi benzi rimwe nerimwe rinokurumidza kupopota.
Kuzvikudza kunongouyisa kukakavara chete,
asi uchenjeri hunowanikwa mune avo vanogamuchira kurayirwa.
Amor e perdão acima da raiva
O amor cobre multidão de pecados. A Bíblia nos chama a não alimentar rancor, mas a perdoar e amar, vencendo a raiva com compaixão.
Ruvengo runomutsa kupesana,
asi rudo runofukidzira zvakaipa zvose.
Rudo runo mwoyo murefu, rudo runo mwoyo munyoro. Haruna godo, haruna manyawi haruzvikudzi. Haruiti zvokuvirimira vamwe, harutsvaki zvarwo, harukurumidzi kutsamwa, haruna pfundi pfundi.
" ‘Usavenga hama yako mumwoyo mako. Tsiura muvakidzani wako zviri pachena kuitira kuti usazova nomugove pamhosva yake.
" ‘Usatsvaka kutsiva kana kugara nedaka nomumwe wavanhu vokwako, asi ida muvakidzani wako sokuda kwaunozviita iwe. Ndini Jehovha.
Akaenderera mberi achiti, "Zvinobuda mumunhu ndizvo zvinomusvibisa. Nokuti kubva mukati, kubva mumwoyo yavanhu ndimo munobuda mirangariro yakaipa, upombwe, kuba, kuuraya, ufeve, ruchiva, nouipi, kunyengera, utere, godo, kureva, manyawi noupenzi. Zvakaipa izvozvi zvose zvinobuda kubva mukati uye ‘zvinosvibisa munhu.’ "
Hama dzangu, chenjererai kuti pakati penyu pasava nomunhu ano mwoyo usingatendi, une zvivi, unotsauka kubva kuna Mwari mupenyu.
"Kana murume akaramba mukadzi wake,
iye akamusiya hake akandowanikwa nomumwe murume,
murume uyu angadzokerazve kwaari here?
Ko, nyika haingasvibiswi here?
Asi iwe wakararama sechifeve navadiwa vazhinji,
zvino ungadzokera kwandiri here?"
ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
"Tarira kunzvimbo dzakakwirira dzisina miti uone.
Iripo here nzvimbo yausina kumboitira ufeve?
Mujinga menzira wakagaramo wakamirira zvikomba,
wakagara kunge vanhu vouragu vari murenje.
Wakasvibisa nyika noufeve hwako
uye nezvakaipa zvako.
Naizvozvo wakanyimwa mvura inopfunha,
uye nemvura yomuchirimo haina kunaya.
Ko, handiti uchangobva pakundidana here uchiti,
‘Baba vangu, shamwari yangu kubva pauduku hwangu,
muchagara makatsamwa here?
Kutsamwa kwenyu kucharamba kuripo nokusingaperi here?’
Aya ndiwo matauriro ako,
asi unoita zvakaipa zvose zvaunogona kuita."
Panguva yokutonga kwaMambo Josia, Jehovha akati kwandiri, "Waona here zvaitwa naIsraeri wokusatendeka? Ari kuenda pamusoro pezvikomo zvose zvakakwirira nepasi pemiti yose yakapfumvutira achindoita ufevepo. Ndakafunga kuti mushure mokuita kwake izvi zvose, achadzokera kwandiri asi iye haana, uye mununʼuna wake Judha wokusatendeka akazviona. Ndakapa Israeri wokusatendeka tsamba yokurambana ndikamudzinga nokuda kwoufeve hwake. Kunyange zvakadaro ndakaona kuti Judha mununʼuna wake wokusatenda haatyi; naiyewo akabuda akandoita ufeve. Nokuti ufeve hwaIsraeri hahuna zvahwakareva kwaari, akasvibisa nyika nokufeva namabwe namatanda. Kunyange izvi zvakadaro, mununʼuna wake Judha wokusatendeka haana kudzokera kwandiri nomwoyo wake wose, asi kunyengera chete," ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
Jehovha akati kwandiri, "Israeri wokusatenda akarurama kukunda Judha wokusatendeka. Enda undoparidza shoko iri kurutivi rwokumusoro uchiti,
" ‘Dzokai imi Israeri vokusatenda,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha,
‘Handichazorambi ndakafinyamisa chiso changu kwamuri,
nokuti ndizere nengoni,’ ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha,
‘handingarambi ndakatsamwa nokusingaperi.
Imi zivai mhosva yenyu chete,
kuti makamukira Jehovha Mwari wenyu,
mukafadza vamwari
vavatorwa muri pasi pomuti mumwe nomumwe wakapfumvutira,
uye hamuna kunditeerera,’ "
ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
"Dzokai, imi vanhu vokusatenda," ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, "nokuti ndini murume wenyu. Ndichakusarudzai, ndichatora mumwe chete kubva kune rimwe guta, uye vaviri kubva kuno rumwe rudzi, ndigokuuyisai kuZioni. Ipapo ndichakupai vafudzi vanofadza mwoyo wangu, ivo vachakutungamirirai noruzivo nokunzwisisa. Mumazuva iwayo, pamunenge mawanda zvikuru munyika," ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha, "vanhu havangazoti, ‘Areka yesungano yaJehovha.’ Hazvingazopindi mundangariro dzavo kana kurangarirwa; havazoishuvi, havangagadziri imwezve. Panguva iyoyo vachatumidza Jerusarema kuti Chigaro choUshe chaJehovha, uye ndudzi dzose dzichaungana muJerusarema kuzokudza zita raJehovha. Havachazoteverizve kusindimara kwemwoyo yavo yakaipa. Mumazuva iwayo imba yaJudha ichabatana neimba yaIsraeri, uye vose pamwe chete vachauya vachibva kunyika yokumusoro vachienda kunyika yandakapa madzibaba enyu kuti ive nhaka.
"Ini pachangu ndakati,
" ‘Ndichafara sei pakukubatai savanakomana vangu
uye ndichikupai nyika inoyevedza,
iyo nhaka yakaisvonaka yorudzi rupi zvarwo.’
Ndakafunga kuti muchanditi ‘Baba’
mukasazotsauka pakunditevera.
Asi sezvinoita mukadzi asina kutendeka kumurume wake,
saizvozvo makanga musina kutendeka kwandiri, imi imba yaIsraeri,"
ndizvo zvinotaura Jehovha.
Kuchema kunonzwika panzvimbo dzakakwirira dzisina miti,
iko kuchema nokuteterera kwavanhu veIsraeri,
nokuti vakaminamisa nzira dzavo
uye vakakanganwa Jehovha Mwari wavo.
"Dzokai, imi vanhu vokusatenda;
ndichakurapai pakudzokera kwenyu shure."
"Hongu, tichauya kwamuri,
nokuti imi muri Jehovha Mwari wedu.
Zvirokwazvo mheremhere youfeve iri pazvikomo,
napamakomo unyengeri;
zvirokwazvo muna Jehovha Mwari wedu
ndimo mune ruponeso rwaIsraeri.
Kubva pauduku hwedu nyadzi dzakadya
zvibereko zvamabasa amadzibaba edu,
makwai avo, nemombe dzavo,
vanakomana navanasikana vavo.
Ngativatei pasi munyadzi dzedu,
uye kunyara kwedu ngakutifukidze.
Takatadzira Jehovha Mwari wedu,
isu tose namadzibaba edu;
kubva pauduku hwedu kusvikira nhasi
hatina kuteerera Jehovha Mwari wedu."
