Inona no dikan'ilay ohabolana 7? Ao amin'ny Ohabolana 7 we read about a young man, who was seduced by a married woman, who had the attire of a harlot and was subtle of heart, and committed fornication. The young man is compared to an ox, who went for the slaughter, because that’s what sin does. The Bible warns, but it’s up to the people to listen and obey the words of God. Just like this young man, who was void of understanding, Maro ny kristiana, who are void of understanding and through their ignorance they are tempted and go the same way, not knowing that their decision can mean the end.
The unwise young man was seduced by the fair speech and flattering lips of the woman with the attire of a harlot
Fa nitsirika teo amin'ny varavarankelin'ny tranoko aho;, Ary tazana teo amin’ireo tsotra, Nahafantatra ny amin'ny tanora aho, zatovo tsy ampy saina, Mandalo ny arabe akaikin'ny zorony; dia nandeha tamin'ny lalana ho any an-tranony izy, Amin'ny takariva, amin'ny alina, amin'ny alina mainty sy maizina: ary, indro, ary nisy vehivavy nifanena taminy niakanjo vehivavy janga, ary saro-piaro ny fo. (Be vava sy mafy loha izy; ny tongony tsy mitoetra ao an-tranony: Tsy misy intsony izy izao, eny an-dalambe izao, ary manotrika eny an-joron-trano rehetra.)
Dia tratrany izy, ary nanoroka azy, ary tamin'ny tava sahisahy no nilaza taminy, Manana fanati-pihavanana aho; efa nanefa ny voadiko aho androany.
Koa dia nivoaka hitsena anao aho, fatratra mitady ny tavanao, ary hitako ianao. Efa voaravako lamba rongony ny fandriako;, misy asa sokitra, tamin'ny rongony fotsy madinika avy any Egypta. I have perfumed my bed with myrrh, hazo manitra, ary kanelina.
AVY, Aoka isika hivoky fitiavana ambara-pahamarain'ny andro: aoka isika hampionona ny tenantsika amin'ny fitiavana. Fa tsy ao an-trano ny tsara fanahy, lasa lavitra izy: Nitondra vola iray kitapo izy, ary hody amin'ny andro voatendry.
Tamin'ny teny tsara nataony no nahatonga azy hilefitra, ny fandroboan'ny molony no nanerenany azy.
Dia lasa nanaraka azy izy, tahaka ny omby entina hovonoina, na toy ny adala amin'ny fanitsiana ny tahiry; Mandra-pialan'ny zana-tsipìka amin'ny atiny; as a bird hastes to the snare, and knows not that it is for his life (Ohabolana 7:6-23)
The unwise Christians, who don’t keep the words and commandments of the Father and Jesus
This young man, who didn’t have understanding belonged to the simple ones and didn’t keep the commandments and law of his parents. Just like so many unwise Christians; Kristianina, who are void of understanding and don’t live according to the Word. They don’t listen to Jesus and keep the teachings of the Father. They don’t do the commandments of the Father and Jesus, but go their own way (Vakio koa: Fankatoavana an'Andriamanitra)..
A Because they are not led by the Word and don’t walk after the Spirit but are led by thier senses, feelings and emotions and walk after the flesh, they are an easy target for the devil.
As soon as the devil try to tempt them to sin, through vain thoughts, through means of pious and deceptive words of man or through (attractive) seducing people, they are not able to resist and fall into temptation.
Instead of destroying the lies of the devil with the Word of God and resist the temptation, they believe his lies and give into the (vonjimaika) pleasures of the flesh and fall, just like the unwise young man, who was tempted by a married woman and commit adultery.
The woman was married, but the unclean spirit of lust that dwelled in her, tempted the unwise young man and persuaded him to commit adultery. Through adultery her lusts were satisfied (mandritra ny fotoana fohy).
How many times are Christians tempted and become apostate or fall, because of the lies and the temptations that come on their way. They could have prevented this from happening, if they would have only believed the words of God and kept His commandments.
The only way to resist temptation is to get understanding, through the Word of God, ary mandeha aorian'ny Fanahy. Only when you stay obedient to Jesus and walk after the Spirit, you will not give into the temptations of the flesh, fa ianao kosa manapaka azy.
Mandehana araka ny Fanahy, ary tsy hahatanteraka ny filan'ny nofo ianareo (Gal 5:16)
‘Aoka ho fanasin’ny tany’
