Mithali 22:22-29
22 Usimnyang'anye maskini, kwa kuwa ni maskini; Wala usimdhulumu mtu mnyonge langoni;
23 Kwa sababu Bwana atawatetea; Naye atawateka uhai wao waliowateka.
24 Usifanye urafiki na mtu mwenye hasira nyingi; Wala usiende na mtu wa ghadhabu nyingi;
25 Usije ukajifunza njia zake; Na kujipatia nafsi yako mtego.
26 Usiwe mmoja wao wawekao rehani; Au walio wadhamini kwa deni za watu;
27 Kama huna kitu cha kulipa; Kwani ukaondolee kitanda chako chini yako?
28 Usiiondoe alama ya mpaka wa zamani, Uliowekwa na baba zako.
29 Je! Wamwona mtu mwenye bidii katika kazi zake? Huyo atasimama mbele ya wafalme; Hatasimama mbele ya watu wasio na cheo.
Mwenendo wenu uwe na hekima;
Asubuhi hii tunapewa na Bwana maneno ya hekima, yanayotufundisha kuwa na tabia njema. Tunafundishwa kutowaonea maskini na kuwadhulumu, kutokuwa na rafiki wabaya, kutoondoa mipaka (kutokuwa waonevu), pia kuwa na bidii katika kazi.
Ujumbe Ukuu ni kuishi kwa kutenda mema, tukiongozwa na hekima ya Mungu. Sio tu tuishi kwa kutenda mema, bali mema yaonekane kwetu kwa kuutangaza ufalme wa Mungu. Omba hekima ya Mungu ili uishi kwa wema.
Siku njema.

PROVERBS 22:22-29 (NIV)
Saying 2
22 Do not exploit the poor because they are poor
and do not crush the needy in court,
23 for the Lord will take up their case
and will exact life for life.
Saying 3
24 Do not make friends with a hot-tempered person,
do not associate with one easily angered,
25 or you may learn their ways
and get yourself ensnared.
Saying 4
26 Do not be one who shakes hands in pledge
or puts up security for debts;
27 if you lack the means to pay,
your very bed will be snatched from under you.
Saying 5
28 Do not move an ancient boundary stone
set up by your ancestors.
Saying 6
29 Do you see someone skilled in their work?
They will serve before kings;
they will not serve before officials of low rank.
Be wise in your behavior;
This morning we are given by the Lord, words of wisdom, which teach us good manners. We are taught not to oppress the poor, not to have bad friends, not to remove boundaries (not to be oppressive), and to be diligent in our work.
The main message is to live by doing good, guided by the wisdom of God. Not only do we live by doing good, but we also show our good by proclaiming the kingdom of God. Pray for God's wisdom to live a good life.
Good day.
