Yahova apanga Izraeli kuti: ‘Usafunika kupangiza kuti ndiwe wakusowa mulando pamaso pa Yahova Mulungu wako.’ (Deut. 18:13; 2 Sam. 22:24) Yahova apereka Mwanace wakusowa madodo (Aheb. 7:26) ninga ntsembe ya ciomboli, na thangwi ineyi, Iye asaona ale anapangiza cikhulupiro na kubvera ninga ‘akulungama’ peno akusowa madodo, mu ndzidzi ubodzi ene mbapitiriza kukhala Ntongi wakulungama na wakusowa madodo.—Aroma 3:25, 26; onani INTEGRIDADE; PERFEIÇÃO.

Mulungu Ancemera ‘Nyanyi’
Kodi pidaseka Sara pikhapangiza kuti iye nee akhali na cikhulupiro? Nkhabe.

Ife tonsene tisafunikambo kukhala na cikhulupiro ninga ceneci. Ife tisafunika kudziwa mwadidi Mulungu.

Midzidzi inango asacita pyenepi mwakudzumatirisa peno munjira yakuti nee tikhaidikhira.

Pikhali Sara na pya 90, abala mwana wakuti iye akhanfuna kakamwe mu pyaka pizinji. Mu ndzidzi unoyu mamunace akhali na pyaka 100. Abhrahamu athula mwana unoyu Izaki peno ‘Kuseka,’ ninga pikhadalonga Mulungu. Nyerezerani kuti mukuona Sara akumwetulira mbalonga: ‘Mulungu andipasa mathangwi toera kuseka; anthu onsene angabva pyenepi anadzaseka pabodzi na ine.’ (Genesi 21:6) Mwandimomwene muoni unoyu udapaswa iye na Yahova wantsandzayisa mpaka kufa kwace. Mbwenye mwana unoyu abweresambo basa ikulu kakamwe kuna iye.
Pikhali Izaki na pyaka pixanu, anyakubalace acita phwando thangwi iye akhadasiya kuyamwa. Mbwenye pa phwando ineyi Sara aona kuti pinthu nee pikhali mwadidi. Bhibhlya isalonga kuti iye aona Ismaeli mwana Agari wakuti akhali na pyaka 19 ‘mbasingirira’ Izaki. Kusingirira kweneku nee kukhali dzenda. Mukupita kwa ndzidzi mpostolo Paulu alemba kuti Ismaeli akhatcinga Izaki. Sara aona kuti pinthu pikhacita Ismaeli pikhatsukwalisa kakamwe mwanace. Iye akhadziwa kuti Izaki akhali mwana wakupambulika, thangwi Yahova akhadapikira kukwanirisa cifuniro cace kubulukira mwa iye. Natenepa iye akhala na cipapo mbalonga pyonsene kuna mamunace. Buluka penepo, iye am’phemba toera athamangise Agari na Ismaeli.—Genesi 21:8-10; Agalata 4:22, 23, 29.
Abhrahamu atawira tani? Bhibhlya isalonga: ‘Abhrahamu aipirwa kakamwe na pidalonga Sara thangwi ya mwanace.’ Iye akhafuna kakamwe Ismaeli, pontho akhaona kuti nee ndi pyadidi kunthamangisa. Mbwenye Yahova akhaona munjira yakusiyana kakamwe. Thangwi Bhibhlya isalonga: ‘Penepo Mulungu apanga Abhrahamu: Leka kuipirwa na pinakupanga Sara thangwi ya mwana, pontho thangwi ya bitcu wako wankazi. Cita pinakupanga iye, thangwi ale anafuna kucemerwa dzindza yako anabulukira kuna Izaki.’ Yahova apasa cinyindiro Abhrahamu kuti mbadatsalakana Agari na mwanace. Natenepa Abhrahamu acita pidampanga Mulungu.—Genesi 21:11-14.
(Genesi 21:5-7) Abhrahamu akhali na pyaka 100 pa ndzidzi udabalwa Izaki mwanace. 6 Penepo Sara alonga: ‘Mulungu andipasa mathangwi toera kuseka; anthu onsene anabva pyenepi anadzaseka pabodzi na ine.’ 7 Iye athimiza: ‘Mbani akhafuna kulonga kuna Abhrahamu kuti, Sara anadzayamwisa ana? Mbwenye onani, ine ndam’balira mwana mu unkhalamba wace.’
(Genesi 21:10-12) Natenepa iye apanga Abhrahamu: ‘Thamangisa bitcu uyu na mwanace ene, thangwi mwana wa bitcu uyu nee anadzatambira unthaka pabodzi na mwananga Izaki!’ 11 Mbwenye Abhrahamu aipirwa kakamwe na pidalonga Sara thangwi ya Ismaeli. 12 Penepo Mulungu apanga Abhrahamu: ‘Leka kuipirwa na pinakupanga Sara thangwi ya mwana, pontho thangwi ya bitcu wako wankazi. Cita pinakupanga iye, thangwi ale anafuna kucemerwa dzindza yako anabulukira kuna Izaki.
