Tabia Ya Martha

Image
UJUMBE KATIKA TABIA YA MARTHA. Mhubiri:  Mch. Jonathan Bucha Yohana 12:1-11 [1] Basi, siku sita kabla ya Pasaka, Yesu alifika Bethania, alipokuwapo Lazaro, yeye ambaye Yesu alimfufua katika wafu.  Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. [2]Basi wakamwandalia karamu huko; naye Martha akatumikia; na Lazaro alikuwa mmojawapo wa wale walioketi chakulani pamoja naye.  There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him. [3]Basi Mariamu akatwaa ratli ya marhamu ya nardo safi yenye thamani nyingi, akampaka Yesu miguu, akamfuta miguu kwa nywele zake. Nayo nyumba pia ikajaa harufu ya marhamu.  Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment. [4]Basi Yuda Iskariote, mmojawapo wa wanafunzi wake, ambaye nd...

KUJITENGA NA UONGO

Image
TUKATAE KUSEMA UONGO. MHUBIRI: WINFRIDA JONATHAN Utangulizi. Mithali 14:25b. Maana ya uongo ni udanganyifu. Yaani kinyume cha Ukweli. Hata hivyo, Biblia inaonya mengi kuhusu uongo, kutoka 5:20, Kutoka 20:16. Tusifanye wangine wateseke kwa sababu ya uongo. Kutoka 23:1a, Usivumishe habari za uongo. Maandiko yanakataa tabia ya kusambaza uongo. Kutoka 23:7a, jitenge mbali na neno uongo. Pale unapoona uongo unaweza kufanyika tafuta namna ya kukaa mbali na mazingira hayo. Lazima tuwe tofauti na watu wa mtaifa. Mambo ya Walawi 19:12a, msiape uongo kwa Jina Langu. Kwa mfano mtu anadanganya halafu anasema Haki ya Mungu, huko ni kumdhihaki Mungu. Madhara ya uongo. Zab 31:6, Nawachukia wao washikao yasiyofaa ya uongo. Zab 31:18, midomo ya uongo iwe na ububu. Maana yake ni kufungwa kinywa na Mungu atafanya hilo. Mithali 19:5, Shahidi wa uongo hakosi, ataadhibiwa. Hakika maandiko yanasema mtu kama hiyo hataokoka. Mithali 19:9 inasisitiza kuhusu kuangamia kwa mtu wa uongo. Kwa hiyo, tuendelee kumtum...

WEMA KAMILI.

WEMA KAMILI. MHUBIRI: MCH.  JONATHAN BUCHA. Maneno ambayo Yesu Kristo anawaambia mafarisayo na Masadukayo.  Watu hawa walijifanya wachamungu wakienda hata katika njiapanda kufundisha neno la Mungu. Yesu anawatahadharisha watu kuwa makini na chachu yao kwa sababu wanajionesha kuwa ni watu wa kumcha Mungu lakini sivyo, wanafiki wakubwa. Yesu anasema watu kama hawa hawapati thawabu machoni pa Mungu. MTU anaweza kujionesha ni mpole na huwezi kutambua chuki kwa macho ya kawaida lakini ni mfitini na mgombanishi, msengenyaji n.k Nitolee mfano akina mama wa kisukuma, wao wamefundishwa kuheshimu mume na wanaowazidi umri. Hata baadhi ya waha wanaheshima nzuri lakini wengi wanaigiza.  Baadhi ya wanawake wa kiha wanaheshima ya kujionesha kwa watu lakini kwa waume zao hawayafanyi hayo ya heshima.  Hiyo ni heshima ya kinafiki. Kila mmoja atende wema kutoka moyoni, kwa Mungu na kwa watu wote. Wapo baadhi ya watu wanajinyenyekeza ili kupata kitu. Baada ya kupata kitu kwa heri mwalim...

YACHUNGUZE MAWAZO YAKO KAMA YANA MADHARA.

YACHUNGUZE MAWAZO YAKO KAMA YANA MADHARA. MHUBIRI: EV. YOTHAM FILIMON (TENDAWEMA) Neno la Mungu linazungumza habari ya mke na mume na kwa kawaida wanafamilia wa aina hiyo lazima wawe na mipango. Kwa wakati ule Kanisa la Yerusalemu liliazimia kuchangia na kusaidia watu wasiojiweza. Katika jambo hilo kila Mkristo aliweza kujitoa kitu alichoweza. Katika Matendo ya Mitume 4:36 anaonekana Yusufu mtu wa Kipro aliuza shamba na fedha iliyopatikana akaiweka chini ya miguu ya mitume. Jambo la kushangaza Anania na mkewe Safira walifanikiwa kuuza shamba lao lakini baada ya kupata fedha waliiingia tamaa na kuanza kuwaza kwenda kinyume na makubaliano ya KANISA. Walipoenda mbele za Mitume wakapanga kusema uongo kuhusu kiasi walichopata baada ya kuuza shamba. Kwa sababu walishawaza mawazo mabaya bila kujua madhara yake. Petro akiwa katika Roho Mtakatifu anamuuliza Anania na Anania anasema uongo na kwa dhambi hiyo anakufa hapohapo. Mke wake naye bila kujua alipoulizwa alisema uongo naye akafa na kuzikw...

KUISHI KWA WITO. MUHUBIRI: WINFRIDA JONATHAN. 1 Petro 1:13-25 [13]Kwa hiyo vifungeni viuno vya nia zenu, na kuwa na kiasi; mkiitumainia kwa utimilifu ile neema mtakayoletewa katika ufunuo wake Yesu Kristo.  Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; [14]Kama watoto wa kutii msijifananishe na tamaa zenu za kwanza za ujinga wenu;  As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: [15]bali kama yeye aliyewaita alivyo mtakatifu, ninyi nanyi iweni watakatifu katika mwenendo wenu wote;  But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; [16]kwa maana imeandikwa, Mtakuwa watakatifu kwa kuwa mimi ni mtakatifu.  Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. [17]Na ikiwa mnamwita Baba, yeye ahukumuye kila mtu pasipo upendeleo, kwa kadiri ya kazi yake, enendeni kwa hofu katika wakati we...

YESU ALISULUBIWA BILA KOSA.

YESU ALISULUBIWA BILA KOSA. MHUBIRI: OPTATUS GERSHON. Mathayo 27:11-31 [11]Naye Yesu akasimama mbele ya liwali; liwali akamwuliza, akasema, Wewe ndiwe mfalme wa Wayahudi? Yesu akamwambia, Wewe wasema.  And Jesus stood before the governor: and the governor asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And Jesus said unto him, Thou sayest. [12]Lakini aliposhitakiwa na wakuu wa makuhani na wazee, hakujibu hata neno.  And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. [13]Ndipo Pilato akamwambia, Husikii ni mambo mangapi wanayokushuhudia?  Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou not how many things they witness against thee? [14]Asimjibu hata neno moja, hata liwali akastaajabu sana.  And he answered him to never a word; insomuch that the governor marvelled greatly. [15]Basi wakati wa siku kuu, liwali desturi yake huwafungulia mkutano mfungwa mmoja waliyemtaka.  Now at that feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prison...

ZITAMBUE DHAMBI ZAKO NA UMKABIDHI YESU. MHUBIRI: MCH. JONATHAN BUCHA. Luka 7:36-50 [36]Mtu mmoja katika Mafarisayo alimwalika ale chakula kwake; akaingia katika nyumba yake yule Farisayo, akaketi chakulani.  And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat. [37]Na tazama, mwanamke mmoja wa mji ule, aliyekuwa mwenye dhambi, alipopata habari ya kuwa ameketi chakulani katika nyumba ya yule Farisayo, alileta chupa ya marimari yenye marhamu.  And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment, [38]Akasimama nyuma karibu na miguu yake, akilia, akaanza kumdondoshea miguu machozi yake, na kuipangusa kwa nywele za kichwa chake, akiibusu-busu miguu yake na kuipaka yale marhamu.  And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and...

KUUGUA KWA HEZEKIA.

KUUGUA KWA HEZEKIA. MHUBIRI: MCH. JONATHAN BUCHA. 2 Wafalme 20:1-11 [1]Siku hizo Hezekia akaugua, akawa katika hatari ya kufa. Isaya, nabii, mwana wa Amozi, akamjia akamwambia, BWANA asema hivi, Tengeza mambo ya nyumba yako; maana utakufa, wala hutapona.  In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. [2]Basi Hezekia akajigeuza, akaelekeza uso wake ukutani, akamwomba BWANA akasema,  Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, saying, [3]Nakusihi, BWANA, ukumbuke sasa, jinsi nilivyokwenda mbele zako katika kweli na kwa moyo mkamilifu, na kutenda yaliyo mema machoni pako. Hezekia akalia sana sana.  I beseech thee, O LORD, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. [4]Ikawa, kabla Isaya hajatoka katika mji...

SAFARI YA WANA WA ISRAELI.

SAFARI YA WANA WA ISRAEL. MHUBIRI: MCH. JONATHAN BUCHA. Hesabu 21:4-9 [4]Wakasafiri kutoka mlima wa Hori kwa njia ya Bahari ya Shamu; ili kuizunguka nchi ya Edomu, watu wakafa moyo kwa sababu ya ile njia.  And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way. [5]Watu wakamnung’unikia Mungu, na Musa, Mbona mmetupandisha huku kutoka nchi ya Misri, ili tufe jangwani? Maana hapana chakula, wala hapana maji, na roho zetu zinakinai chakula hiki dhaifu.  And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread. [6]BWANA akatuma nyoka za moto kati ya watu, wakawauma, watu wengi wakafa.  And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. [7]Watu wakamwendea Musa, wakas...

MUNGU AKUFUNGUE MACHO. MHUBIRI. MCH. JONATHAN BUCHA. Mwanzo 21:1-20 [1]BWANA akamjia Sara kama alivyonena, na BWANA akamfanyia kama alivyosema.  And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken. [2]Sara akapata mimba akamzalia Ibrahimu mwana wa kiume katika uzee wake, kwa muhula alioambiwa na Mungu.  For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him. [3]Ibrahimu akamwita jina lake Isaka, yule mwana aliyezaliwa, ambaye Sara alimzalia.  And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac. [4]Ibrahimu akamtahiri Isaka mwanawe, alipokuwa mwenye siku nane, kama Mungu alivyomwamuru.  And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him. [5]Naye Ibrahimu alikuwa mtu wa miaka mia, alipozaliwa mwana wake Isaka.  And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him. [6]Sara akasema, M...

I WILL BRING YOU UP OUT OF THE AFFLICTIONS . REV. JONATHAN BUCHA. Kutoka 3:14-18 [14]Mungu akamwambia Musa, MIMI NIKO AMBAYE NIKO; akasema, Ndivyo utakavyowaambia wana wa Israeli; MIMI NIKO amenituma kwenu.  And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. [15]Tena Mungu akamwambia Musa, Waambie wana wa Israeli maneno haya, BWANA, Mungu wa baba zenu, Mungu wa Ibrahimu, Mungu wa Isaka, Mungu wa Yakobo, amenituma kwenu; hili ndilo jina langu hata milele, nalo ni kumbukumbu langu hata vizazi vyote.  And God said moreover unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is my name for ever, and this is my memorial unto all generations. [16]Enenda, ukawakusanye wazee wa Israeli pamoja, ukawaambie, BWANA, Mungu wa baba zenu, Mungu wa Ibrahimu, Mungu wa Isaka, Mungu wa Yakobo...

TUNAVYO VITA.

TUNAVYO VITA. MHUBIRI: MCH. JONATHAN BUCHA. 1 Samweli 17:28-51 [28]Naye Eliabu, mkubwa wake, alisikia hapo alipoongea na watu; na hasira yake Eliabu ikawaka juu ya Daudi, akasema, Mbona wewe umeshuka hapa? Na kondoo wale wachache umemwachia nani kule nyikani? Mimi nakujua kiburi chako, na ubaya wa moyo wako; maana umeshuka ili upate kuvitazama vita.  And Eliab his eldest brother heard when he spake unto the men; and Eliab's anger was kindled against David, and he said, Why camest thou down hither? and with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know thy pride, and the naughtiness of thine heart; for thou art come down that thou mightest see the battle. [29]Naye Daudi akamjibu, Je! Mimi nimekosa nini sasa? Je! Si neno kubwa hilo?  And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause? [30]Naye akamgeukia ili kumwelekea mtu mwingine, akasema naye jinsi ile ile; na watu wakamjibu tena jinsi ile ile kama ya kwanza.  And he turned from him toward another...

VITA VIZURI VYA IMANI. MHUBIRI: FAUSTINE GUTAPAKA 1 Timotheo 6:11-19 [11]Bali wewe, mtu wa Mungu, uyakimbie mambo hayo; ukafuate haki, utauwa, imani, upendo, saburi, upole.  But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. [12]Piga vita vile vizuri vya imani; shika uzima ule wa milele ulioitiwa, ukaungama maungamo mazuri mbele ya mashahidi wengi.  Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. [13]Nakuagiza mbele za Mungu anayevihifadhi hai vitu vyote, na mbele za Kristo Yesu, aliyeyaungama maungamo mazuri yale mbele ya Pontio Pilato,  I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; [14]kwamba uilinde amri hii pasipo mawaa, pasipo lawama, hata kufunuliwa kwake Bwana wetu Yesu Kristo;  That thou keep t...

MTINI USIOZAA. MHUBIRI: JONATHAN BUCHA. Luka 13:6-9 [6]Akanena mfano huu; Mtu mmoja alikuwa na mtini umepandwa katika shamba lake la mizabibu; akaenda akitafuta matunda juu yake, asipate.  He spake also this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. [7]Akamwambia mtunzaji wa shamba la mizabibu, Tazama, miaka mitatu hii naja nikitafuta matunda juu ya mtini huu, nisipate kitu; uukate, mbona hata nchi unaiharibu?  Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why cumbereth it the ground? [8]Akajibu akamwambia, Bwana, uuache mwaka huu nao, hata niupalilie, niutilie samadi;  And he answering said unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: [9]nao ukizaa matunda baadaye, vema! La, usipozaa, ndipo uukate.  And if it bear fruit, well: and if not, then after that thou s...

MAMBO YA KUJIFUNZA KUHUSU KUZALIWA KWA YESU. MHUBIRI: FAUSTINE GUTAPAKA. Luka 2:1-19 [1]Siku zile amri ilitoka kwa Kaisari Augusto ya kwamba iandikwe orodha ya majina ya watu wote wa ulimwengu.  And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. [2]Orodha hii ndiyo ya kwanza iliyoandikwa hapo Kirenio alipokuwa liwali wa Shamu.  (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) [3]Watu wote wakaenda kuandikwa, kila mtu mjini kwao.  And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. [4]Yusufu naye aliondoka Galilaya, toka mji wa Nazareti, akapanda kwenda Uyahudi mpaka mji wa Daudi, uitwao Bethlehemu, kwa kuwa yeye ni wa mbari na jamaa ya Daudi;  And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) [5]ili aandikwe pamoja na Mariamu mkewe, ambaye ame...

KUZALIWA KWA YESU. MHUBIRI: ESTER BONIPHACE. Mathayo 2:1-12 [1]Yesu alipozaliwa katika Bethlehemu ya Uyahudi zamani za mfalme Herode, tazama, mamajusi wa mashariki walifika Yerusalemu, wakisema,  Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, [2]Yuko wapi yeye aliyezaliwa mfalme wa Wayahudi? Kwa maana tuliiona nyota yake mashariki, nasi tumekuja kumsujudia.  Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. [3]Basi mfalme Herode aliposikia hayo, alifadhaika, na Yerusalemu pia pamoja naye.  When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. [4]Akakusanya wakuu wa makuhani wote na waandishi wa watu, akatafuta habari kwao, Kristo azaliwa wapi?  And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.

[2]Tena nijapokuwa na unabii, na kujua siri zote na maarifa yote, nijapokuwa na imani timilifu kiasi cha kuweza kuhamisha milima, kama sina upendo, si kitu mimi.  And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. [3]Tena nikitoa mali zangu zote kuwalisha maskini, tena nikijitoa mwili wangu niungue moto, kama sina upendo, hainifaidii kitu.  And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.
