44 Schirrmacher, <strong>Insha</strong> <strong>juu</strong> <strong>ya</strong> <strong>Maadili</strong><br />
<strong>wa</strong> mataifa <strong>wa</strong>tauendea makundi makundi. Na mataifa mengi <strong>wa</strong>takwenda na<br />
kusema, Njo<strong>ni</strong>, twende <strong>juu</strong> mlima<strong>ni</strong> k<strong>wa</strong> BWANA, na nyumba<strong>ni</strong> k<strong>wa</strong> Mungu <strong>wa</strong><br />
Yakobo; naye atatufundisha njia zake, nasi tutakwenda katika mapito <strong>ya</strong>ke; k<strong>wa</strong><br />
maana katika Sayu<strong>ni</strong> itatoka sheria; na neno la BWANA litatoka Yerusalemu.<br />
Naye atafan<strong>ya</strong> hukumu kati <strong>ya</strong> <strong>wa</strong>tu <strong>wa</strong> kabila nyingi, naye ata<strong>wa</strong>kemea mataifa<br />
wenye nguvu <strong>wa</strong>lio mbali; nao <strong>wa</strong>tafua panga zao ziwe majembe, na mikuki <strong>ya</strong>o<br />
iwe miundu; taifa halitainua upanga <strong>juu</strong> <strong>ya</strong> taifa lingine, <strong>wa</strong>la ha<strong>wa</strong>tajifunza vita<br />
tena kamwe. Bali <strong>wa</strong>taketi kila mtu chi<strong>ni</strong> <strong>ya</strong> mzabibu <strong>wa</strong>ke, na chi<strong>ni</strong> <strong>ya</strong> mti<strong>ni</strong><br />
<strong>wa</strong>ke; <strong>wa</strong>la hapana mtu atakaye<strong>wa</strong>tia hofu; k<strong>wa</strong> ku<strong>wa</strong> kiny<strong>wa</strong> cha BWANA <strong>wa</strong><br />
majeshi kimesema hivi” (Mik. 4:1-4; kifungu sa<strong>wa</strong> na hiki kinapatikana katika<br />
Isa. 2:2-4 isipoku<strong>wa</strong> sentensi mbili za mwisho).<br />
Wabaadamile<strong>ni</strong>a katika kuami<strong>ni</strong> idhi<strong>ni</strong> <strong>ya</strong> Mungu katika historia, hapa<br />
<strong>wa</strong>tasema k<strong>wa</strong>mba vitu viwili <strong>ni</strong> matokeo <strong>ya</strong> kuenea k<strong>wa</strong> <strong>Sheria</strong> kupitia uinjilisti.<br />
Kutaku<strong>wa</strong> na ama<strong>ni</strong> <strong>ya</strong> kisiasa na kibinafsi na kutaku<strong>wa</strong> na haki, usalama na<br />
kusambaa k<strong>wa</strong> umiliki binafsi (ambao, hata hivyo, k<strong>wa</strong> ka<strong>wa</strong>ida huenda<br />
pamoja).<br />
Vifungu vingine <strong>juu</strong> <strong>ya</strong> Mile<strong>ni</strong>a pia vinatufundisha jukumu la kimsingi la <strong>Sheria</strong><br />
<strong>ya</strong> Mungu katika kipindi hicho. (Natumia vifungu ambavyo k<strong>wa</strong> ka<strong>wa</strong>ida<br />
hutumi<strong>wa</strong> na <strong>wa</strong>so-, <strong>wa</strong>kabla- na <strong>wa</strong>baada- mile<strong>ni</strong>a vyenye kufanana<br />
kuthibitisha misimamo <strong>ya</strong>o. Iki<strong>wa</strong> utahukumu ku<strong>wa</strong> moja <strong>ya</strong> vifungu huongea<br />
<strong>juu</strong> <strong>ya</strong> umilele au Ka<strong>ni</strong>sa la sasa n.k., basi tumia kifungu chako mwenyewe <strong>juu</strong> <strong>ya</strong><br />
Mile<strong>ni</strong>a kitajacho <strong>Sheria</strong> <strong>ya</strong> Mungu. Tena si nda<strong>ni</strong> <strong>ya</strong> kila msimamo kuna<br />
makubaliano <strong>ya</strong> mwisho kuhusu s<strong>wa</strong>li la <strong>ni</strong> vifungu vipi huzungumzia <strong>juu</strong> <strong>ya</strong><br />
kipindi kipi).<br />
Chukua k<strong>wa</strong> mfano, vifungu viwili vifuatavyo:<br />
“Nisikilize<strong>ni</strong> mimi, enyi <strong>wa</strong>tu <strong>wa</strong>ngu; <strong>ni</strong>sikie<strong>ni</strong>, taifa langu; maana sheria<br />
itatoka k<strong>wa</strong>ngu, nami <strong>ni</strong>taistarehesha hukumu <strong>ya</strong>ngu iwe nuru <strong>ya</strong> mataifa. Haki<br />
<strong>ya</strong>ngu i karibu, wokovu <strong>wa</strong>ngu umeku<strong>wa</strong> <strong>wa</strong>zi, na mikono <strong>ya</strong>ngu ita<strong>wa</strong>hukumu<br />
kabila za <strong>wa</strong>tu; visi<strong>wa</strong> vita<strong>ni</strong>ngoja, navyo vitautumai<strong>ni</strong>a mkono <strong>wa</strong>ngu”<br />
(Isa 51:4-5).<br />
“Na mtumishi <strong>wa</strong>ngu, Daudi, ataku<strong>wa</strong> mfalme <strong>juu</strong> <strong>ya</strong>o, nao wote <strong>wa</strong>taku<strong>wa</strong> na<br />
mchungaji mmoja; nao <strong>wa</strong>taenenda katika hukumu zangu, na kuzishika amri<br />
zangu, na kuzitenda” (Eze. 37:24).<br />
Baadhi <strong>ya</strong> Wabaadamile<strong>ni</strong>a ha<strong>wa</strong>ami<strong>ni</strong> <strong>juu</strong> <strong>ya</strong> idhi<strong>ni</strong> <strong>ya</strong> Mungu katika historia<br />
na <strong>wa</strong>naiona Mile<strong>ni</strong>a kama matokeo <strong>ya</strong> uinjilisti tu. Laki<strong>ni</strong> Wabaadamile<strong>ni</strong>a<br />
<strong>wa</strong>le wengine <strong>wa</strong>napas<strong>wa</strong> kuelezea vifungu hivyo vilevile. K<strong>wa</strong> <strong>ni</strong><strong>ni</strong> iko hivyo,<br />
k<strong>wa</strong>mba kuhubiri na kuikubali <strong>Sheria</strong> kutaubadili ulimwengu? Iki<strong>wa</strong> ama<strong>ni</strong><br />
itakuja pindi <strong>wa</strong>tu <strong>wa</strong>mkubalipo Mungu kama Mwokozi na <strong>Sheria</strong> zake; je, hili<br />
haliwezi kuelezea k<strong>wa</strong> <strong>ni</strong><strong>ni</strong> hakuna ama<strong>ni</strong> sasa? Na iki<strong>wa</strong> <strong>Sheria</strong> ndicho kitu<br />
pekee kiwezacho kuleta ama<strong>ni</strong> katika <strong>wa</strong>kati ujao; je, hili haliwezi ku<strong>wa</strong> hivyo<br />
katika <strong>wa</strong>kati <strong>wa</strong> sasa pia? Iki<strong>wa</strong> Mbaadamile<strong>ni</strong>a hakubali mtazamo <strong>wa</strong> kisiasa
