Tsiku la lipenga: phwando lokwaniritsidwa mwa Khristu
Mu Seputembala (chaka chino makamaka pa Okutobala 3), Ayuda amakondwerera Chaka Chatsopano cha Ayuda, Rosh Hashanah, chomwe chimatanthauza "Mutu wa Chaka" mu Chiheberi. Mwambo wa Ayuda ndi kudya chidutswa cha mutu wa nsomba, kuyimira mutu wa chaka, ndikupatsana moni ndi "Leshana tova," kutanthauza "Chaka Chatsopano Chosangalatsa!" Malinga ndi mwambo, Rosh Hashanah imalumikizidwa ndi tsiku lachisanu ndi chimodzi la Sabata Yolenga, pomwe Mulungu adalenga anthu.
Mu lemba la Chiheberi la Levitiko 3:23,24, tsikuli limatchedwa "Sikron Terua," kutanthauza "Tsiku Lokumbukira ndi Malipenga." Chifukwa chake, tsikuli nthawi zambiri limatchedwa Chikondwerero cha Malipenga m'Chingerezi. Arabi ambiri amaphunzitsa kuti pa Rosh Hashanah, shofar (lipenga lopangidwa ndi lipenga la nkhosa) linkawombedwa nthawi zosachepera 100, kuphatikizapo kugunda kotsatizana ka 30, kusonyeza chiyembekezo cha kubwera kwa Mesiya. Ine ndili ndi shofar ndipo ndikukuuzani kuti n'zovuta kwambiri kupanga ngakhale phokoso limodzi. Ndawerenga kuti pa zikondwerero za Rosh Hashanah, chinali chizolowezi kukhala ndi wolowa m'malo wophunzitsidwa ngati munthu woyamba sangathe kuwomba chizindikiro chofunikira cha lipenga.
Malinga ndi magwero achiyuda, pali mitundu itatu ya ma beep omwe amawombedwa patsikuli:
- Tekia – kamvekedwe katali kopitirira kusonyeza chiyembekezo mu mphamvu ya Mulungu ndi matamando kuti Iye ndi Mulungu (wa Israeli),
- Shevarim - matawuni atatu ofupikitsidwa oyimira kulira ndi kulira chifukwa cha machimo ndi anthu akugwa,
- Teru'a - zolemba zisanu ndi zinayi zofulumira, zonga staccato (zofanana ndi kamvekedwe ka wotchi ya alamu) kuwonetsa mitima yosweka ya iwo omwe abwera pamaso pa Mulungu.
Ponena za Teru’a, Talmud imati, “Pamene pali chiweruzo chochokera pansi (mtima wosweka), munthu safunikira chiweruzo chochokera kumwamba”. Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon (wotchedwa Maimonides), mwinamwake katswiri wachiyuda ndi mphunzitsi wofunika koposa wa Nyengo Zapakati, akuwonjezera chiyeneretso chofunika chotsatirachi:
Sikokwanira kuti Mulungu yekha ndiye mfumu yanga. Ngati anthu onse saona Mulungu ngati Mfumu, ndiye kuti pali chinachake chikusoweka mu ubale wanga ndi Mulungu. Ndi mbali ya chikondi changa pa Wamphamvuyonse kuti ndimathandiza anthu onse kumuzindikira. Ndithudi, ichi kwakukulukulu ndi chisonyezero cha nkhaŵa yanga yaikulu kaamba ka ena. Koma momwemonso malingaliro anga a ufumu wa Mulungu wapadziko lonse lapansi.
[Kuwomba Malipenga - kukulitsa chithunzi] Israyeli wakale poyambirira ankagwiritsa ntchito nyanga za nkhosa zamphongo poimba malipenga awo; koma patapita nthawi izi zidakhala ngati tidapangana 4. Mose 10 Zida zamkuwa zinalowedwa m'malo ndi malipenga asiliva. Kugwiritsa ntchito malipenga kwatchulidwa ka 72 mu Chipangano Chakale. Ankawombedwa nthawi zosiyanasiyana: kuwomba alamu nthawi ya ngozi, kuitana anthu ku msonkhano wachikondwerero, kulengeza zilengezo, komanso ngati kuitana anthu kuti alambire. Nthawi ya nkhondo, malipenga ankagwiritsidwa ntchito kukonzekera asilikali kuti atumize asilikali kenako n’kusonyeza kuyamba kwa nkhondo. Malipenga ankagwiritsidwanso ntchito kulengeza kubwera kwa mfumu.
Masiku ano, Akhristu ena amakondwerera Tsiku la Lipenga ngati tsiku la phwando ndi utumiki ndipo nthawi zambiri amaphatikiza izi ndi zochitika zamtsogolo - kubweranso kwachiwiri kwa Yesu kapena mkwatulo wa mpingo. Ngakhale kuti kumasulira kumeneku kuli ndi zolinga zabwino, iwo akunyalanyaza mfundo yakuti Yesu wakwaniritsa kale zimene chikondwererochi chinalozera. Monga tikudziwira, pangano lakale, lomwe linaphatikizapo tsiku la malipenga, linali losakhalitsa. Iye anagwiritsiridwa ntchito kulengeza Mesiya wakudza kwa anthu. Maina ake audindo ndi mneneri, wansembe, wanzeru ndi mfumu. Kulira kwa lipenga pa Rosh Hashanah sikungosonyeza chiyambi cha kalendala yachikondwerero yapachaka ya Israyeli, koma kumalengeza uthenga wa chikondwerero chimenechi: “Mfumu yathu ikudza!
Kwa ine, mbali yofunika kwambiri ya Chikondwerero cha Brass Band ili m'mene imasonyezera Yesu ndi momwe Yesu anakwaniritsira izi pakubwera kwake koyamba: kudzera mu thupi lake, ntchito yake yophimba machimo, imfa yake, kuuka kwake, ndi kukwera kwake kumwamba. Kudzera mu "zochitika izi m'moyo wa Khristu," Mulungu sanangokwaniritsa pangano lake ndi Israyeli (Pangano Lakale) komanso anasintha nthawi zonse kwamuyaya. Yesu ndiye mutu wa chaka—mutu, kapena Ambuye, wa nthawi zonse, makamaka chifukwa adalenga nthawi yokha. Iye ndiye chihema chathu, ndipo tili ndi moyo watsopano mwa iye. Paulo analemba kuti: "Chifukwa chake, ngati wina ali mwa Khristu, cholengedwa chatsopano chafika: zakale zapita, zatsopano zafika!" (2. Korinther 5,17).
Yesu ndiye Adamu wotsiriza. Iye anapambana pamene Adamu woyamba analephera. Yesu ndiye Paskha wathu, mkate wathu wopanda chotupitsa ndi chitetezero chathu. Iye ndiye (ndiyekha) amene amachotsa machimo athu. Yesu ndiye Sabata lathu kumene timapeza mpumulo ku uchimo. Ambuye wa nthawi zonse, amakhala mwa ife tsopano ndipo nthawi yathu yonse ndi yopatulika pamene tikukhala moyo watsopano umene tili nawo mu chiyanjano ndi iye. Yesu Mfumu ndi Ambuye wathu analiza lipenga kamodzi kokha!
Kukhala mu chiyanjano ndi Yesu
