Mary

Mayi a Mulungu

Akatolika amakhulupirira kuti Mariya ndi Mayi wa Mulungu wopanda uchimo; kuti anali wopanda uchimo chiyambireni pa kubadwa kwake; anakhalabe wopanda uchimo moyo wake wonse; ndi, zotsatira zake, anatengedwera kumwamba atamwalira.

Lingaliro la kusachimwa kwake kaŵirikaŵiri limakhala nkhani yokambitsirana ndi mkangano; komabe, ili ndi maziko amphamvu kwambiri a m'malemba.

Mtima wa Mary, wapezeka mu Luka, Mutu 1:28, imatengedwa ngati imodzi mwamavesi oyambilira onena za chifukwa chake Akhristu achikatolika ndi Orthodox amamulemekeza. (Zindikirani, pali kusiyana kwakukulu pakati pa kulemekeza ndi kupembedza; kupembedza kwasungidwa kwa Mulungu, yekha. Mariya anali munthu, koma zosiyana kwambiri ndi inu kapena ife.)

Nkhani zambiri zokhudza Mariya zikukhudza zimene Mngelo Gabrieli anamuuza, makamaka mkanganowo umakhudza kumasulira mawu, kecharitomene, opezeka m’mabaibulo oyambirira achigiriki.

Akatolika amakhulupirira zimenezo “kecharitomene” limamasuliridwa molondola ngati “Wodzaza Chisomo,” pamene ena amamasulira kuti “Wokondedwa kwambiri,” osanena kanthu za chisomo, amene ali ndi tanthauzo lenileni, i.e., opanda uchimo kapena oyera kwambiri.

Popatsidwa kutanthauzira kwa Chikatolika, funso limakhalaliti kodi Mariya anamasulidwa ku uchimo?

Mawu a mngelo kwa Mariya sananene kwa inu adzakhala odzaza Chisomo koma iwe ndi “wodzaza ndi Chisomo.” Izi zikutanthauza, kuti, kale, pa nthawi ya maonekedwe a Gabrieli kwa iye, iye anali wodzaza ndi chisomo, kapena kusakhala ndi uchimo. Kupyolera mu kulingalira kochepetsetsa, tinganene kuti iye anali wopanda uchimo kuyambira pa kubadwa kwake, ergo iyeImmaculate Conception.

Mary ngati Eva Watsopano

Mpingo umalemekezanso Maria monga Eva Watsopano, mthandizi wokhulupirika wa Adamu Watsopano (onani Paulo Woyera Kalata Yoyamba kwa Akorinto 15:21-22, 45). Monga momwe kusakhulupirika kwa Hava kunabweretsera kugwa kwathu ku chisomo, Kukhulupirika kwa Mary pa Annunciation–, i.e., chichitike kwa ine–(Luka 1:38) zabweretsa kubwezeretsedwa kwathu.

Iye anali munthu yekhayo mwachindunji kutenga nawo mbali ndi Mwana Wake mu Chiombolo. Monga mneneri Yeremiya analemba, “Bwererani, Namwali Israyeli, bwererani kumidzi yanu iyi. Mpaka liti mudzagwedezeka?, Mwana wamkazi wosakhulupirira!? Pakuti Yehova walenga chinthu chatsopano pa dziko lapansi: mkazi amateteza mwamuna” (Yeremiya 31:21-22).¹

Mariya ngati Likasa (wa Pangano Latsopano)

Mu Chipangano Chakale, Mulungu analamula kuti Likasa lapadera likhale lopangidwa ndi zinthu zoyera, zinthu zosavunda zimangidwe zonyamulira Malamulo Khumi (onani Buku la Eksodo, 25:10). Mapale amenewa anali oyera chifukwa anakhudzidwa ndi Mulungu. Sizikanakhala zoyenera, choncho, kuti azinyamulidwa mumtsuko wamba wopangidwa ndi zinthu zopanda ungwiro. Zikanakhala zosafunika kwenikweni kwa Yesu, Mwana wa Mulungu, kupangidwa ndi kunyamulidwa m’mimba mwa munthu wochimwa (onani Buku la Nzeru 1:4 ndi Kalata ya Ahebri 7:26).

Kufanana kwachindunji pakati pa Likasa la Chipangano ndi Mariya kukupezeka m’nkhani ya Davide atanyamula Likasa kupita ku Yerusalemu ndi ulendo wake ndi Elizabeti.. Nkhani zonsezi zikukhudza dziko la Yuda: onani, mwachitsanzo a Bukhu Lachiwiri la Samueli 6:2 ndi Luka 1:39.

Mu 6:14 mu akaunti yakale, Davide analumpha ndi chisangalalo pamene Likasa likulowa mumzinda, ndi kumapeto, khanda lomwe linali m’mimba mwa Elizabeti likudumphadumpha ndi chisangalalo chifukwa cha kuyandikira kwa Namwaliyo (Luka 1:41). Mu mutu wachisanu ndi chimodzi, ndime 9, Davide akufunsa, “Lingafike bwanji likasa la Yehova kwa ine??”

Mu magawo oyambirira a mimba yake, Mariya anapita ku dziko la mapiri la Yuda kukathandiza msuweni wake Woyera Elizabeti, amenenso ali ndi mwana.

Phokoso la moni wa Mariya linachititsa Elizabeti ndi mwana wake wosabadwa kudzazidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera ndipo anafuula, “Ndinu odala mwa akazi, ndipo chodalitsika chipatso cha mimba yako!” (Luka 1:41-42). Kuti Yohane Woyera Mbatizi “anadzazidwa ndi Mzimu Woyera, kuyambira ali m’mimba mwa amake” (Luka 1:15) zimatsimikizira zotheka, ngati sichotheka, wa Immaculate Conception. Izi zili choncho, ngati kunali koyenera kwa Yohane, amene akanakonza njira ya Ambuye, kuti ayeretsedwe m’mimba mwa amayi ake, sayenera Mary, amene akanabala, kusamalira, ndi kumuukitsa Iye, landiraninso mdalitso womwewo kapena wokulirapo?

Mofananamo, Elizabeth akufunsa, “Chifukwa chiyani izi zaperekedwa kwa ine, kuti adze kwa ine amake wa Ambuye wanga?” (Luka 1:43). Pa Bukhu Lachiwiri la Samueli (6:11), Likasa linakhalabe m’nyumba ya Obedi-edomu miyezi itatu, ndi mu Luka 1:56, Namwali anakhala ndi Elizabeti kwa miyezi itatu.

Mwangozi, masomphenya a Mayi wa Muomboli akutsatira masomphenya a Yohane Woyera a Likasa la Chipangano mu Chivumbulutso. (onani 11:19-12:1).
