Chiyembekeza mumdima

Pamwamba pa mndandanda wa zinthu zomwe ndiyenera kupewa ndi ndende. Lingaliro lokhala m'chipinda chopapatiza, chopanda kanthu mumdima, limodzi ndi mantha a chiwawa chankhanza, ndilo vuto langa lalikulu. Kale, awa anali zitsime, mabowo apansi pa nthaka, kapena zitsime zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito posungira madzi. Malo amenewa nthawi zambiri anali amdima, onyowa, komanso ozizira. Nthawi zina zoopsa kwambiri, zitsime zopanda kanthu zinkagwiritsidwa ntchito ngati ndende zongoyembekezera: “Kenako anatenga Yeremiya namuponya m'chitsime cha Malikiya mwana wa mfumu, chomwe chinali m'bwalo la alonda, namutsitsa ndi zingwe. Koma m'chitsimemo munalibe madzi, koma matope okha, ndipo Yeremiya anamira m'matope.” (Jer 38,6).

Mneneri Yeremiya, yemwe anali ndi ntchito yopitiriza yolosera motsutsana ndi machitidwe oipa ndi chikhalidwe chochimwa cha Israyeli, anali kusakhala wolandiridwa bwino. Adani ake anamusiya m'chitsime chopanda madzi, koma matope okha, cholinga chake chinali kumusiya akumva njala ndikubweretsa imfa yopanda magazi. Ngakhale kuti anali mumkhalidwe umenewu, Yeremiya anagwirabe chiyembekezo chake. Anapitiriza kupemphera ndi kukhulupirira, ndipo analemba lemba lolimbikitsa kwambiri m'mbiri ya anthu: "Taonani, masiku akubwera, ati Yehova, pamene ndidzakwaniritsa lonjezo limene ndinalonjeza nyumba ya Israyeli ndi nyumba ya Yuda. Masiku amenewo ndi nthawi imeneyo ndidzaphukitsa nthambi yolungama kwa Davide, imene idzachita chiweruzo ndi chilungamo m'dzikomo." (Jer 33,14-15).

Mbiri yambiri ya Chikhristu idayamba m'malo amdima. Mtumwi Paulo analemba zolemba zambiri za Chipangano Chatsopano pamene anali m’ndende. Amakhulupirira kuti anatsekeredwa m’ndende ya “Mamertinum Prison,” ndende yakuda, yapansi panthaka yolowera kudzenje lopapatiza. M’ndende zoterozo, akaidi sanali kupatsidwa chakudya chanthaŵi zonse, motero ankadalira anzawo ndi achibale kuti awabweretsere chakudya. Munali mkati mwa mikhalidwe yamdima imeneyi pamene kuwala kowala kwa uthenga wabwino kunatulukira.

Mwana wa Mulungu, chiyembekezo chaumunthu cha munthu, anadza padziko lapansi m’malo opapatiza, opanda mpweya wabwino umene poyamba sunali wolinganizidwa kuti ukhale munthu, ngakhale kubadwa kwa mwana. Chifaniziro choperekedwa mwamwambo cha khola la ng’ombe yabwino chozunguliridwa ndi abusa olambira ndi nkhosa zoyera sichimafanana kwenikweni ndi zenizeni. Mikhalidwe yeniyeniyo inali yowawa ndi yodetsa nkhaŵa, mofanana ndi chitsime chimene mneneri Yeremiya anatsekeredwamo zaka mazana ambiri m’mbuyomo, kuyembekezera tsoka lake looneka ngati losapeŵeka. Mu mdima wa chitsime, Yeremiya anaona kuwala kwa chiyembekezo—chiyembekezo chimene chinasumika pa Mesiya wam’tsogolo amene adzapulumutsa anthu. Zaka mazana angapo pambuyo pake, m’kukwaniritsidwa kwa chiyembekezo chimenechi, Yesu Kristu anabadwa. Iye ndiye chipulumutso chaumulungu ndi kuwala kwa dziko lapansi.
