Tristeza
A tristeza faz parte da experiência humana, mas a Bíblia nos assegura que Deus está perto dos que sofrem. Ele enxuga as lágrimas e transforma a dor em esperança.
Deus consola os aflitos
O Senhor está perto dos quebrantados de coração. Mesmo no vale mais escuro, sua presença é refúgio e consolo para a alma que chora.
Iwanu wana ihaki womlilila IMNDEWA, naye kowahulika,
kowakombola kulawa mna ghamaghayo ghawo ghose.
IMNDEWA kahabehi na iwanu awala iwatenyuke imimoyo,
na awala iwalihela chinu cha ukwihuwila.
IMNDEWA kowafumbula tsinenge ipfifita,
kowenula awala iwaghwile,
na kowakunda awala iwana ihaki.
Ghwe MNDEWA, ghose ghanibama gha hambele hako,
na ukughuta kwangu ng’akupfisike baye kuna ghweghwe.
Wabweda awala wana ihutsuni,
kwaapfila watsokanzighwa.
uye ukamlongele Hezekia, chilongotsi wa iwanu wangu, "Nene IMNDEWA, Imulungu wa sekulu wako Daudi, nihulika chaunilombile na nighona ghamasotsi ghako, apfo nitsokuhonetsa, na haipfika ikacha kutsoghenda kuna ing’anda ya IMNDEWA.
A alegria virá
A dor tem prazo de validade. A manhã de alegria sempre vem depois da noite de choro. Deus promete transformar o luto em dança.
Kwaapfila imaya yake yokala chidogho,
na uluso wake wokala matsuwa ghose,
chililo chodaha kukala chilo chose,
lekeni ukudeng’elela kwakutsa nemitondo.
Kuya nihulika litsi kulu kulawa hane chighoda che undewa, "Lola! Kaye ya Imulungu sambi ya mghati mwe iwanu, naye katsokala nawo. Nawo watsakuwa iwanu wake, naye Imulungu mwenyegho katsokala nawo, naye katsakuwa Imulungu wawo. Naye katsobaghusa chila sotsi. Kutsakuwa kuduhu keli ukufa, au kunyanyana, au kulila au usungu, kwaapfila aghala gha ghumwande ghahupa."
Ng’awatsakona keli bae inzala au ng’ilu. Na litsua ng’alitsowalikila keli wala joto kali ng’alitsowalakatsa bae. Kwaapfila Mwanang’olo iyali habehi ne chighoda che undewa hala haghatighati katsakuwa mdimi wawo. Naye katsowalongosa kune tsimbwibwi tse ghamatsi ghe ughima. Naye Imulungu katsowabaghusa masotsi."
Hata ka tuna usungu, lekeni ghamatsuwa ghose twodeng’elela, hata ka twakoneka ka wahingwa, ila twoweng’a mali iwanu wengi, hata ka twakoneka twahela chinu, lekeni tuna chila chinu.
Entregando a dor a Deus
Podemos lançar sobre o Senhor toda nossa ansiedade e tristeza, porque Ele cuida de nós com ternura e não nos abandona.
Mwasileni Yeye ghose ghamghanzika, kwaapfila yeye kowatunzani.
Imulungu mwenyegho katsokulongolela na kuwa hamwe naghwe, ng’atsoleka baye kukwapfila wala kukuleka uliyeka. Uleke kupfuka wala kutenyuka ghumoyo."
Mdeng’e na awala iwodeng’a, lileni na awala iwolila.
O choro e o arrependimento
Há tristezas que produzem arrependimento e conduzem à vida. O choro diante de Deus é acolhido e transformado em bênção.
Nene Imtwatsa Imulungu nolonga apfino, "Lekeni hata sambi,
mmbwihile kwa ghumoyo ghose,
kwo ukufunga, kwa ukulila na kwa ukudomboketsa.
Imitsabibu inyala,
imibiki yose ye ghamatunda inyala mne imighunda.
Iwanu ng’awodeng’elela keli bae.
Kuya Ayubu kema wima, kadegha ghamagwanda ghake, kabeya tsimvili tsake kamwinamila Imulungu mbaka uhanga wake udonza hasi. Baho kalonga, "Nene nyelekighwa kulawa munda mwa mai wangu nachidako, na nitsakuka nachidako, IMNDEWA kalapfa na IMNDEWA kasola, taghwa lyake linulighwe."
Imwana yakengele komtenda aba wake yadeng’elele, lekeni imwana mbotsi komghela usungu mai wake.
Kwaapfila ihekima ing’ongetseka yoghala ukwalangula, na ukumanya kung’ongetseka, usungu wakongetseka.
Apfo uleke kwalangula chinu chochose mna ghumoyo ghwako, na uleke kwalangula apfila ilukuli lwako pfalughaya, kwaapfila usongolo na ukukala miyaka mingi kose si chinu baye.
Mleke kumghela usungu Ghumuhe Mwenzeluka we Imulungu, mana yeye ka chitango che Imulungu kuna mwemwe ka mwemwe mwa wanu wake, naye kolangusa ka litsuwa lyakutsa Imulungu katsomkombolani.
