Onse m’banja akamakwaniritsa udindo wawo mogwirizana ndi malangizo a Mulungu, zinthu zimayenda bwino. Yesu anati: “Odala ndi amene akumva mawu a Mulungu ndi kuwasunga!”—Luka 11:28.

2. Kodi timafunikira kuzindikira chiyani kuti tikhale ndi banja losangalala?

² Kuti banja likhale losangalala, pamafunika kuzindikira kuti amene analiyambitsa ndi Yehova, yemwe Yesu anamutchula kuti “Atate wathu.” (Mateyu 6:9) Banja lililonse padziko lapansi pano linakhalapo chifukwa cha Atate wathu wakumwamba, choncho iye amadziwa bwino zimene zingapangitse kuti mabanja azikhala mosangalala. (Aefeso 3:14, 15) Ndiyeno, kodi Mawu a Mulungu amanena kuti aliyense ayenera kuchita chiyani m’banja?

3. Kodi Baibulo limafotokoza chiyani za chiyambi cha banja, ndipo tikudziwa bwanji kuti zimenezi ndi zoona?

³ Yehova analenga anthu oyambirira, Adamu ndi Hava ndipo  anawakwatitsa kukhala banja. Iye anawaika padziko lapansi, m’munda wa Edeni n’kuwauza kuti abereke ana. Yehova anati: “Muberekane, muchuluke, mudzaze dziko lapansi, ndipo muliyang’anire.” (Genesis 1:26-28; 2:18, 21-24) Nkhaniyi si nthano chabe chifukwa Yesu anasonyeza kuti zimene zinalembedwa m’buku la Genesis zokhudza chiyambi cha banja n’zoona. (Mateyu 19:4, 5) Panopo tikukumana ndi mavuto ambiri ndipo moyo sulinso mmene Mulungu anafunira, komabe tiyeni tione zimene zingathandize kuti banja likhale losangalala.

4. (a) Kodi aliyense m’banja angathandize bwanji kuti banja likhale losangalala? (b) Kodi kuphunzira za Yesu n’kofunika bwanji kuti banja likhale losangalala?

⁴ Aliyense m’banja akamatsanzira Mulungu posonyeza chikondi, angathandize kuti banja likhale losangalala. (Aefeso 5:1, 2) Koma kodi tingatsanzire bwanji Mulungu amene sitingathe kumuona? Tingadziwe mmene Yehova amachitira zinthu chifukwa anatumiza Mwana wake padziko lapansi. (Yohane 1:14, 18) Pamene anali padziko lapansi, Yesu Khristu ankatsanzira kwambiri Atate wake wakumwamba moti kuona ndi kumvetsera zimene Yesu ankalankhula kunali ngati kukhala ndi Yehova n’kumamvetsera akulankhula. (Yohane 14:9) Choncho, kuphunzira za chikondi chimene Yesu anasonyeza ndi kutsatira chitsanzo chake kungathandize kuti tikhale ndi banja losangalala.

5, 6. (a) Kodi mmene Yesu amachitira posamalira mpingo zikupereka bwanji chitsanzo kwa amuna okwatira? (b) Kodi tiyenera kuchita chiyani kuti Mulungu azitikhululukira machimo athu?

⁵ Baibulo limapereka malangizo osonyeza kuti amuna ayenera kusamalira akazi awo ngati mmene Yesu ankachitira ndi ophunzira ake. Mwachitsanzo limati: “Amuna inu, pitirizani kukonda akazi anu monga mmene Khristu anakondera mpingo n’kudzipereka yekha chifukwa cha mpingowo . . . Mwa njira imeneyi amuna akonde akazi awo monga matupi awo. Amene amakonda mkazi wake amadzikonda yekha, pakuti palibe munthu anadapo thupi lake, koma amalidyetsa ndi kulikonda,  mmenenso Khristu amachitira ndi mpingo.”—Aefeso 5:23, 25-29.

⁶ Mmene Yesu ankakondera ophunzira ake ndi chitsanzo chabwino kwambiri kwa amuna okwatira. Yesu “anawakonda mpaka pa mapeto” ndipo anapereka moyo wake chifukwa cha ophunzirawo ngakhale kuti anali opanda ungwiro. (Yohane 13:1; 15:13) Choncho, amuna akulimbikitsidwa kuti: “Musaleke kukonda akazi anu ndipo musamawapsere mtima kwambiri.” (Akolose 3:19) Kodi n’chiyani chingathandize mwamuna kutsatira malangizo amenewa makamaka ngati mkazi wake nthawi zina amachita zinthu mosaganizira bwino? Mwamunayo ayenera kukumbukira kuti nayenso nthawi zina amalakwitsa zinthu ndipo amafunika kuchita zinazake kuti Mulungu amukhululukire. Kodi amafunika kuchita chiyani? Amafunika kukhululukira amene amulakwira ndipo anthu amenewo akuphatikizapo mkazi wake. Ndipo mkazi wake nayenso ayenera kuchita chimodzimodzi. (Werengani Mateyu 6:12, 14, 15.) Kodi mwaona chifukwa chake anthu ambiri amanena kuti banja ndi mgwirizano wa anthu awiri amene amakonda kukhululukirana?

7. Kodi Yesu nthawi zonse ankakumbukira chiyani za ophunzira ake, ndipo zimenezi zikupereka chitsanzo chotani kwa amuna okwatira?

⁷ Amuna okwatira ayeneranso kudziwa kuti Yesu nthawi zonse ankaganizira ophunzira ake. Iye ankawadziwa bwino mmene alili komanso zimene sakanakwanitsa kuchita. Mwachitsanzo, nthawi ina ophunzirawo atatopa iye anawauza kuti: “Bwerani kuno, tipite kwatokha kopanda anthu kuti mupumule pang’ono.” (Maliko 6:30-32) Akazinso amafunikira kuwaganizira mwachikondi. Baibulo limafotokoza kuti akazi ali ngati “chiwiya chosalimba” ndipo amuna akulamulidwa kuwapatsa “ulemu.” Chifukwa chiyani ayenera kuwapatsa ulemu? Chifukwa nawonso adzalandira moyo ‘umene Mulungu adzapereke chifukwa cha kukoma mtima kwake kwakukulu.’ (1 Petulo 3:7) Amuna ayenera kukumbukira kuti ndi kukhulupirika, osati kukhala mwamuna kapena mkazi, komwe kumachititsa munthu kukhala wamtengo wapatali kwa Mulungu.—Salimo 101:6.

8. (a) N’chifukwa chiyani tinganene kuti “amene amakonda mkazi wake amadzikonda yekha”? (b) Kodi anthu amene ali pa banja angasonyeze bwanji kuti ndi “thupi limodzi”?

(Miyambo 5:15-21; Aheberi 13:4) Angachite zimenezi ngati amaganizira zosowa za mnzawo osati zawo zokha. (1 Akorinto 7:3-5) Amuna azikumbukira malangizo ofunika akuti: “Palibe munthu anadapo thupi lake, koma amalidyetsa ndi kulikonda.” Amuna ayenera kukonda akazi awo mmene amadzikondera okha pokumbukira kuti adzafunsidwa ndi Yesu Khristu amene ndi mutu wawo.—Aefeso 5:29; 1 Akorinto 11:3.

¹⁰ Banja lili ngati kampani. Kuti liziyenda bwino pamafunikira mutu. Ngakhalenso Yesu ali ndi Mutu umene amaugonjera. ‘Mutu wa Khristu ndi Mulungu’ monganso mmene zilili kuti “mutu wa mkazi ndi mwamuna.” (1 Akorinto 11:3) Zimene Yesu amachita pogonjera Mulungu monga Mutu wake, n’chitsanzo chabwino kwambiri chifukwa tonsefe tili ndi wina amene tiyenera kumugonjera.

11. Kodi mkazi ayenera kusonyeza khalidwe lotani kwa mwamuna wake, ndipo ubwino wake ndi wotani?

Ndipotu Baibulo limanena kuti: “Mkazi azilemekeza kwambiri mwamuna wake.” (Aefeso 5:33) Nanga bwanji ngati mwamunayo saona Khristu ngati Mutu wake? Baibulo limalimbikitsabe akazi kuti: “Muzigonjera amuna anu kuti ngati ali osamvera mawu akopeke, osati ndi mawu, koma ndi khalidwe lanu, poona okha ndi maso awo khalidwe lanu loyera ndi ulemu wanu waukulu.”—1 Petulo 3:1, 2.

¹² Kaya mwamuna wake ndi wokhulupirira kapena ayi, si kuti mkazi akafotokoza maganizo osiyana ndi amwamuna wakeyo pa nkhani inayake ndiye kuti alibe ulemu. Maganizo akewo akhoza kukhala olondola ndipo mwina banja lonse lingapindule ngati litatsatira zimene akunenazo. Mwachitsanzo, nthawi ina Abulahamu sanagwirizane ndi maganizo a mkazi wake, Sara, okhudza njira inayake yothetsera vuto lomwe linali m’banja lawo. Koma Mulungu anamuuza kuti: “Mvera mawu ake.” (Werengani Genesis 21:9-12.) Komabe ngati zimene mwamuna wake wasankha sizikusemphana ndi malamulo a Mulungu, mkazi ayenera kugonjera.—Machitidwe 5:29; Aefeso 5:24.

13. (a) Kodi lemba la Tito 2:4, 5 limalimbikitsa akazi okwatiwa kuchita chiyani? (b) Kodi Baibulo limati chiyani pa nkhani ya kusiyana ndiponso kuthetsa banja?

¹³ Pali zambiri zimene mkazi angachite kuti akwaniritse udindo wake wosamalira banja. Mwachitsanzo, Baibulo limanena kuti akazi okwatiwa ayenera “kukonda amuna awo, kukonda ana awo, kukhala oganiza bwino, oyera, ogwira ntchito zapakhomo, abwino ndi ogonjera amuna awo.” (Tito 2:4, 5) Mkazi amene amasonyeza makhalidwe amenewa kwa mwamuna wake komanso ana ake, amakondedwa komanso kulemekezedwa ndi banja lake. (Werengani Miyambo 31:10, 28.) Popeza kuti banja ndi mgwirizano wa anthu awiri opanda ungwiro, nthawi zina pangakhale mavuto akuluakulu amene angapangitse kuti mwamuna  ndi mkazi asiyane kwa kanthawi kapena kuti banja lithe.

Komabe ngakhale zili choncho, imeneyi si nkhani yaing’ono chifukwa Baibulo limanena kuti: “Mkazi asasiye mwamuna wake, . . . mwamunanso asasiye mkazi wake.” (1 Akorinto 7:10, 11) Malemba amalola kuti banja lingathe pokhapokha ngati mwamuna kapena mkazi wachita chigololo.—Mateyu 19:9.

14. Kodi Yesu ankachita bwanji zinthu ndi ana, nanga ana amafuna makolo awo azichita chiyani?

Ana amafunika nthawi yambiri yocheza nawo. Muyenera kukhala ndi nthawi yokwanira yowaphunzitsa chifukwa zimenezi ndi zomwe Yehova amafuna kuti makolo azichita.—Werengani Deuteronomo 6:4-9.

N’zoona kuti ana amafunikira chilango koma chiyenera kuperekedwa “pa mlingo woyenera,” osati mwaukali. Simuyenera kugwiritsa ntchito mawu olakwika, omwe amakhala “olasa ngati lupanga.” (Yeremiya 30:11; Miyambo 12:18) Chilango chiyenera kuperekedwa moyenera kuti mwanayo pambuyo pake azitha kuona kuti chinalidi chofunika.—Aefeso 6:4; Aheberi 12:9-11.

(Werengani Aefeso 6:1-3.) Ngakhale kuti Yesu anali wangwiro, ali mwana ankamverabe makolo ake, Yosefe ndi Mariya, omwe anali opanda ungwiro.
