• Kabla ya kila somo, omba Roho Mtakatifu akuongoze na kuangaza akili yako.

•  Fikiria muktadha mzima wa somo, si andiko moja tu.

•  Ikiwa muktadha utapuuzwa, matokeo ya tafsiri yanaweza kuwa "kuchanganya maandishi" au "kuchanganya maandishi."

• (tazama hapa chini)

•  Weka kando mawazo yote ya awali, na acha Maandiko na Roho Mtakatifu aseme nawe.

•  Angalia kama kuna mafumbo mengine karibu na au yanayozunguka somo hili ambayo pia yametolewa

• fundisha somo sawa.

•  Soma vifungu kutoka kwa tafsiri mbili au zaidi; angalia tafsiri na neno kati ya mistari

• maana inavyotakiwa.

•  Zingatia desturi za wakati na nchi.

•  Amua ni nani mada hiyo inashughulikiwa.

•  Kusanya ukweli wote na uorodheshe.

•  Zingatia umuhimu wa ukweli kwa ujumbe uliokusudiwa.

•  Fikiria faida na hasara zote za tafsiri zinazowezekana na nguvu na udhaifu wa

•  Sasa vuta yote pamoja na ufikie hitimisho.

•  Shiriki hitimisho hili na wengine, ukiwauliza maoni yao juu ya mawazo yako. Kuwa wazi kwa a

•  Hata baada ya kufikia hitimisho, epuka kuwa mbishi; daima kuwa na akili wazi.

• Before each study, pray for the Holy Spirit to guide and enlighten your mind.

•  Consider the whole context of the subject, not just a single text.

•  If context is ignored, the results of the interpretations can be "text-mangling" or "text-garbling."

• (see below)

•  Set aside all preconceived ideas, and let the Scriptures and the Holy Spirit speak to you.

•  Check if there are other parables adjacent to or surrounding this subject that are also given to

• teach the same lesson.

•  Read passages from two or more translations; check out interlinear translations and word

• meanings as required.

•  Consider the customs of the time and country.

•  Determine to whom the subject is being addressed.

•  Accumulate all the facts and list them.

•  Consider the relevancy of the facts to the intended message.

•  Consider all the pros and cons of possible interpretations and the strengths and weaknesses of

•  Now pull it all together and come up with a conclusion.

•  Share this conclusion with others, asking them for their opinion on your thoughts. Be open to a

•  Even after having reaching a conclusion, avoid being dog-matic; always keep an open mind.

Umuhimu wa Utafiti wa Muktadha

•  Ikiwa muktadha hauzingatiwi, basi neno, sentensi, au mstari unaweza kuondolewa katika muktadha wake

• na kufasiriwa kama kitu kigeni kabisa kwa maana asilia ya mwandishi.

•  Kila sentensi na kila Aya ina kitu kinachotangulia na kinachofuata baada yake.

• Fikiria mistari hii.

•  Ni muhimu kwa uelewa wetu wa maneno ili kujua kwa nini yamewekwa hapo katika hilo

• muktadha fulani.

•  Kupuuza muktadha kumesababisha mafundisho mengi ya uwongo na dini potofu

• mila.

The Importance of Contextual Study

•  If the context is disregarded, then a word, sentence, or verse may be taken out from its context

• and interpreted as something quite foreign to the writer’s original meaning.

•  Every sentence and every verse has something going before it and something following after it.

• Consider these verses.

•  It is essential to our understanding of the words to find out why they are placed there in that

• particular context.

•  Disregarding the context has been responsible for many false teachings and wrong religious

• traditions.

Kuchanganya Maandishi ni Nini - Kuchanganya maandishi?

What Is Text-mangling - Text-garbling?

Uchanganyaji maandishi: Utaratibu wa kuchomoa maneno machache bila kuzingatia muktadha unaopatikana na kutoa tafsiri na mafundisho ambayo hayana muktadha na hivyo kuwa na makosa. Mifano ya uandishi wa maandishi:

Text-mangling: The practice of extracting a few words without regard to the context in which it is found and assigning an interpretation and teaching that is non-contextual and therefore erroneous. Examples of text-mangling:

Isaya 28:10 inatumika kufundisha njia ya kujifunza – “Kwa maana amri juu ya amri, amri juu ya amri; mstari juu ya mstari, mstari juu ya mstari; huku kidogo na huku kidogo.” Hata hivyo, tunapozingatia mstari wa 13, inaonyesha hii si maana hata kidogo - “Lakini neno la BWANA lilikuwa kwao amri juu ya amri, amri juu ya amri; mstari juu ya mstari, mstari juu ya mstari; huku kidogo na huku kidogo; ili waende, na kuanguka kinyumenyume, na kuvunjwa, na kunaswa, na kukamatwa.”

Isaiah 28:10 is used to teach a method of study – “For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little.” However, when considering vs. 13, it shows this is not the meaning at all - “But the word of the LORD was unto them precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little; that they might go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.”

Zaburi 50:5 inatumiwa na wengine kwa wanafunzi wa Yesu – “Nikusanyieni watakatifu wangu; wale waliofanya agano nami kwa dhabihu.” Hata hivyo, muktadha wa Zaburi hii ni hukumu dhidi ya Israeli wasio waaminifu, na agano la dhabihu linarejelea lile lililofanywa nao kwenye Mlima Sinai, kutia ndani dhabihu ya wanyama.

Psalm 50:5 is applied by some to Jesus’ disciples – “Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.” However, the context of this Psalm is one of judgment against unfaithful Israel, and the covenant of sacrifice refers to that which was made with them at Mt. Sinai, including animal sacrifice.

Kuzungumza kwa maandishi: Zoezi la kuchukua sehemu ya mstari wa Maandiko na kuunganisha na mstari mwingine ili kufundisha kitu ambacho hakikusudiwa. Mfano wa kipuuzi wa maandishi-ya maandishi yanaweza kuwa: 

Text-garbling: The practice of taking part of a verse of Scripture and connecting it with another verse to teach something that was not intended. An absurd example of text-garbling might be: 

“Yuda akatoka na kujinyonga. Nenda ukafanye vivyo hivyo.” -(Mchanganyiko wa Mathayo 27:5 na Luka 10:37.) Kusoma Neno la Mungu kwa usahihi huleta mwelekeo mpya katika maisha yetu. Maandiko yanatoa hekima ambayo haiwezi kupatikana popote pengine ulimwenguni. Neno la Mungu huleta kusudi na tumaini kwa moyo na maisha ya mwamini. Inaleta amani ya akili, tukijua kwamba Mungu ni Mwenye Enzi Kuu na ana udhibiti kamili, kwamba ana Mpango Mkamilifu ambao siku moja utaondoa uovu wote kutoka katika dunia hii tunamoishi na badala yake amani na uadilifu ambao mwanadamu amekuwa akiutafuta. kwa maelfu ya miaka. Hii itakuwa Utopia ya kweli zaidi ya ndoto au matumaini ya juu zaidi ya mwanadamu.

“Judas went out and hung himself. Go and do likewise.” -(A combining of Matthew 27:5 and Luke 10:37.) Studying God’s Word correctly brings a new dimension into our lives. The Scriptures offer wisdom that can be found nowhere else in the world. God’s Word brings purpose and hope to the believer’s heart and life. It brings peace of mind, knowing that God is Sovereign and in complete control, that He has a Perfect Plan that will one day remove all evil from this earth in which we live and replace it with the peace and righteousness for which man has been searching for many thousands of years. This will be a true Utopia beyond man’s highest dreams or hopes.

Ingawa ujuzi wa Kibiblia ni muhimu, kilicho muhimu ni kuja kumjua Yesu Kristo na Baba yetu wa Mbinguni kwa njia ya ndani na ya kibinafsi. Hii inakuja kwa kutumia muda mwingi katika kujifunza na kutafakari kwa sala katika Injili pamoja na Yesu, katika Nyaraka kwa Makanisa, na katika unabii wa ajabu wa Masihi katika Agano la Kale ambao ulizungumza waziwazi juu ya Masihi na tumaini la wanadamu wote. Yesu alisema, “Kama mnanijua mimi, mnamjua Baba.”

While Biblical knowledge is important, what is essential is to come to know Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father in an intimate and personal way. This comes by spending much time in study and prayerful meditation in the Gospels with Jesus, in the Epistles to the Churches, and in the wonderful prophecies of the Messiah in the Old Testament which spoke clearly of the Messiah and the hope for all mankind. Jesus said, “If you know me, you know the Father.”

Tungependa kupendekeza vijitabu viwili vinavyokazia kumjua Mungu na Bwana Yesu Kristo vizuri zaidi: “ Unamjua Mungu Vizuri Gani? ” na “ Je, Unamjua Bwana Yesu Kristo Vizuri Gani? ” Ikiwa ungependa kupokea hizi bure kabisa, tuma ombi lako kwa:
