Ndemanga pa PEACE yopangidwa ndi Msonkhano Wapachaka mu 1987
Ife Axamwali ku Aotearoa-New Zealand tikutumiza moni wachikondi kwa anthu onse m'dziko lino, ndipo tikukupemphani kuti muganizire mawu awa, operekedwa kwa inu, omwe tonse tikuvomereza ngati amodzi. Yakwana nthawi yoti tiyimire pagulu mosakayikira pa nkhani ya ziwawa.
Timatsutsa kotheratu nkhondo zonse, kukonzekera nkhondo, kugwiritsa ntchito zida zonse ndi kukakamiza mokakamiza, ndi mapangano onse ankhondo; palibe mapeto omwe akanalungamitsa njira zoterozo.
Timatsutsa mofanana komanso mwakhama zonse zomwe zimayambitsa chiwawa pakati pa anthu ndi mayiko, komanso chiwawa kwa mitundu ina ndi dziko lathu lapansi. Uwu wakhala umboni wathu ku dziko lonse kwa zaka mazana atatu.
Sitife opanda nzeru kapena osadziwa za zovuta za dziko lathu lamakono ndi zotsatira za matekinoloje apamwamba - koma sitikuwona chifukwa chilichonse chosinthira kapena kufooketsa malingaliro athu amtendere omwe aliyense amafunikira kuti apulumuke ndikukula bwino padziko lapansi lathanzi, lochuluka. .
Chifukwa chachikulu cha kaimidwe kameneka ndicho kukhulupirira kwathu kuti pali chija cha Mulungu mwa aliyense chimene chimapangitsa munthu aliyense kukhala wamtengo wapatali kwambiri moti sangawononge kapena kumuwononga.
Pamene wina akukhala nthawi zonse pali chiyembekezo chofikira cha Mulungu mkati mwake: chiyembekezo chotere chimalimbikitsa kufufuza kwathu kuti tipeze kuthetsa kusamvana kopanda chiwawa.
Ochita mtendere amapatsidwanso mphamvu ndi mphamvu ya Mulungu mwa iwo. Maluso athu aumunthu, kulimba mtima, chipiriro, ndi nzeru zimalimbikitsidwa kwambiri ndi mphamvu ya Mzimu wachikondi umene umagwirizanitsa anthu onse.
Kukana kumenyana ndi zida si kugonja. Sitikhala chete tikaopsezedwa ndi adyera, ankhanza, ankhanza, osalungama.
Tidzavutika kuchotsa zomwe zimayambitsa kusamvana ndi kulimbana ndi njira zonse zokanira zopanda chiwawa zomwe zilipo. Palibe chitsimikizo kuti kukana kwathu kudzakhala kopambana kapena koopsa kuposa njira zankhondo. Osachepera njira zathu zidzakwanira kumapeto kwathu.
Ngati titaoneka kuti talephera pomalizira pake, tingakondebe kuvutika ndi kufa m’malo mochita zoipa kuti tidzipulumutse ife eni ndi zimene timazikonda. Ngati tipambana, palibe wolephera kapena wopambana, chifukwa vuto lomwe linayambitsa mikangano lidzakhala litathetsedwa ndi mzimu wachilungamo ndi wololera.
Chigamulo chotere ndicho chitsimikizo chokhacho chakuti sipadzakhalanso kuyambika kwa nkhondo pamene mbali iliyonse yapezanso mphamvu. Nkhani imene tikuyimilira panthaŵi ino ndiyo kuchuluka kwa ziwawa zimene zatizinga: kuzunza ana; kugwiririra; kumenya mkazi; ziwawa za m'misewu; ziwawa; kanema ndi kanema wawayilesi wachisoni; chiwawa chachete pazachuma ndi mabungwe; kuchuluka kwa mazunzo; kutaya ufulu; kugonana; tsankho ndi atsamunda; uchigawenga wa zigawenga ndi asilikali a boma; ndi kupatutsidwa kwa chuma chambiri ndi ntchito kuchokera ku chakudya ndi thanzi kupita ku zolinga zankhondo.
Koma pamwamba ndi kupitirira zonsezi, ndikusonkhanitsa kwamisala kwa zida za nyukiliya zomwe zingawononge aliyense ndi chirichonse chomwe timachikonda padziko lapansi.
Kuganizira zoopsa zoterezi kungatichititse kukhala otaya mtima kapena opanda chidwi, ouma mtima kapena achipongwe.
Tikulimbikitsa anthu onse a ku New Zealand kuti alimbe mtima polimbana ndi chipwirikiti chimene anthu akupanga m’dziko lathu lino ndi kukhala ndi chikhulupiriro ndi khama poliyeretsa ndi kubwezeretsa dongosolo limene Mulungu anafuna. Tiyenera kuyamba ndi mitima yathu ndi malingaliro athu. Nkhondo zidzatha pokhapokha aliyense wa ife atsimikiza kuti nkhondo si njira.
Malo oti tiyambe kupeza luso ndi kukhwima ndi kuwolowa manja kuti tipewe kapena kuthetsa mikangano ndi m'nyumba zathu, maubwenzi athu, masukulu athu, malo athu antchito, ndi kulikonse komwe zisankho zimapangidwira.
Tiyenera kusiya chikhumbo chokhala ndi anthu ena, kukhala ndi mphamvu pa iwo, ndi kukakamiza maganizo athu pa iwo. Tiyenera kukhala ndi mbali yathu yoipa osati kuyang'ana mbuzi zongodzudzula, kulangidwa, kapena kusapatula. Tiyenera kukana chilakolako chofuna kuwononga zinthu komanso kudzikundikira chuma.
Mikangano ndi yosapeweka ndipo siyenera kuponderezedwa kapena kunyalanyazidwa koma kuthetsedwa mopweteka komanso mosamala. Tiyenera kukulitsa luso lozindikira kuponderezedwa ndi madandaulo, kugawana mphamvu popanga zisankho, kupanga mgwirizano, ndi kubwezera.
Polankhula momasuka, timavomereza kuti ife eni ndife opereŵera komanso olakwa monga wina aliyense. Tikamayesedwa, aliyense akhoza kulephera.
Tilibe ndondomeko yamtendere yomwe imalongosola njira iliyonse yopita ku cholinga chomwe timagawana. Mulimonse mmene zingakhalire, munthu angasankhe yekha zochita mokhulupirika.
Mwina sitingagwirizane ndi maganizo ndi zochita za wandale kapena msilikali amene wasankha njira yothetsera usilikali, komabe timamulemekeza ndi kumuyamikira.
Zomwe tikuyitanitsa m'mawu awa ndikudzipereka kupanga kumanga mtendere kukhala chinthu chofunikira kwambiri ndikupanga kutsutsa nkhondo kotheratu.
Zomwe timalimbikitsa si Quaker mwapadera koma zaumunthu ndipo, timakhulupirira, chifuniro cha Mulungu. Maimidwe athu si a Anzathu okha - ndi anu mwa ufulu wakubadwa.
Timatsutsa anthu a ku New Zealand kuti aimirire ndi kuwerengedwa pa zomwe siziri zochepa kuposa kutsimikizira kwa moyo ndi tsogolo la anthu.
Pamodzi, tiyeni tikane phokoso la mantha ndi kumvetsera kunong'ona kwa chiyembekezo.
