The problem. | Sasachakuy. |
In a survey of young adults, 81 percent said that the most important goal of their generation is ‘ to become rich ’ — rating it far above helping others. | Sapa 100 wayna - sipaskunata tapukusqanpin 81 ninku hukkuna yanapanamantaqa “qolqe maskhay ” aswan importante kasqanta. |
But striving for wealth does not bring contentment. | Chaywanpas qhapaq kayqa manan cheqaq kusikuytachu apamun. |
In fact, research indicates that people who focus on material things are less happy and more depressed. They also have a higher rate of physical and mental problems. | Investigaqkunan willanku qolqellapi yuyaykuq runakuna llakisqa tarikusqankuta, hinaspapas facil - llatas llakikuy onqoy otaq ima onqoypas hap’inman. |
What is behind it. | Imaynapi paqarin. |
In some cases, children are being raised in materialistic families. | Wakin wawakunaqa qolqe maskhayllapi afanakuq familia ukhupin wiñanku. |
“Parents want to make their children happy, and children want stuff, ” says the book The Narcissism Epidemic. | Huk libron nin: “Tayta - mamakunan munanku wawanku kusisqa kanankuta, wawakunataq kusisqa kanankupaq imaymanata mañakunku. |
“Thus parents buy them stuff. | Chaymi tayta - mamaqa mañakusqankuta rantipunku, chaywantaq wawakuna kusisqa kanku. |
And children are happy, but only for a short period of time. Then they want even more stuff. ” | Pisi tiempomantan ichaqa huktañataq mañakushanku ”, nispa (La epidemia del narcisismo, inglés simipi). |
Of course, the advertising industry has been all too eager to exploit this hungry consumer market. | Chayta qhawarispan negociantekuna wayna - sipaskunaq tukuy munasqankuta ruwaspa propagandakunapi churamunku. |
It promotes such ideas as ‘ You deserve the best ’ and ‘ Because you’re worth it. ’ | Chaypin kaykunata churamunku: “Tukuy allinkunan qanpaq kanan ”,“ Qanmi aswan importante kanki ”, nispa. |
Many young adults have devoured the message and are now in debt, unable to pay for the things they “deserve. ” | Chaykunata uyarispa imaymanata rantisqankuraykun askha waynakuna manupi tarikunku, manataqmi qolqenku kanchu “paykunapaq tukuy allinkunata ” rantinankupaq. |
What the Bible says. | Biblian yachachin. |
The Bible acknowledges the need for money. | Bibliaqa manan huchachanchu qolqe maskhayta (Eclesiastés 7: 12). |
At the same time, it warns that “the love of money is a root of all sorts of injurious things. ” | Ichaqa willanmi ‘ qolqe sonqo - kay tukuy mana allinkunaq saphin ’ kasqanta. |
It adds: “By reaching out for this love some... have stabbed themselves all over with many pains. ” | Nintaqmi: “Chaymi wakinkunapas chayta munapakuspanku [...] imaymana llakikunapi rikukurqanku ”, nispa. |
The Bible encourages us, not to pursue material riches, but to be content with the basic necessities of life. — 1 Timothy 6: 7, 8. | Chaymi niwanchis qolqe maskhaypi afanakunamantaqa imachus kapuwasqanchiswan sonqopas - sonqo kawsananpaq. |
“Those who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many senseless and hurtful desires. ” — 1 Timothy 6: 9 | ‘ Qhapaqyayta munaq runakunan ichaqa wateqayta mana atipaspa, toqllaman hina urmaykunku, hinaspan mana valeq waqllichiq munapayaypi rikukunku. ’ |
What you can do. | Kaytan ruwawaq. |
As a parent, examine your own attitude toward money and the things it can buy. | Qankunan tayta - mamakuna reparanaykichis imaynatan qhapaq kayta qhawarishankichis chayta. |
Keep your priorities straight, and help your children to do the same. | Aswan allin kaqkunatan ñawpaqtaqa maskhanaykichis, chaytataqmi wawaykichisman yachachinaykichis. |
The Narcissism Epidemic, quoted earlier, suggests: “Parents and children can start discussions on such topics as ‘ When is buying things on sale a good idea? | La epidemia del narcisismo nisqa libron nin: “Tayta - mamakunan wawankuwan kaykunata tapurikunanku: ‘ Baratoña imapas kanman chaypas, ¿hayk’aqmi chaykunata rantina? |
When is it a bad idea? ’ ‘ What’s an interest rate? ’ | ¿Hukkuna niwasqanchisraykullachu imatapas rantina? |
‘ When have you bought something because someone else thought you should? ’ ” | ¿Iman “tasa de interés ” nisqa? ’ ” nispa. |
Be careful not to use “stuff ” as a drug to cover over family issues that need to be addressed. | Amapuni familiapi sasachakuytaqa qolqewan allichaychu, chayqa kanman llakikuyta qonqanapaq drogakuy hinan. |
“Throwing material goods at problems is a notoriously unsuccessful solution, ” says the book The Price of Privilege. | El precio del privilegio nisqa libron nin: “Qolqewan ima sasachakuytapas allichayqa manan allinchu. |
“Problems need to be addressed with thought, insight, and empathy, not shoes and purses. ” | Sasachakuytaqa yachaywan, khuyakuywan, allinta yuyaykuspan allichana, manan zapatokunata otaq carterakunata rantispachu ”, nispa. |
The Bible does not advocate physical or emotional abuse of children. | Bibliaqa manan yachachinchu wawakuna maqayta nitaq unphuyanankama phiñakuyta. |
The goal of correction is to teach, not to provide an outlet for a parent’s anger. | Wanachiyqa yachachinapaqmi, manataqmi phiñakuyniykita wawaykipi thasnuykachinaykipaqchu wanachinayki. |
LANDS AND PEOPLES | HUK LLAQTAKUNA |
THE Baka — also known as Pygmies — were likely the first inhabitants of Cameroon. Then, in the 1500 ’ s, the Portuguese arrived. Several hundred years after that, the Fulani — an Islamic people — conquered northern Cameroon. | CAMERÚN nacionpiqa baka otaq pigmeo nisqa runakunan ñawpaqtaqa tiyankuman karqan. 1500 watakunapin hina Portugal nacionmanta runakuna tiyarqanku, unay watakuna qhepamantaq islam religionmanta Fulani runakuna, paykunan inti lloqsimuy wichay ladota hap’ikapurqanku. |
Today, 40 percent of Cameroon’s inhabitants claim to be Christian, 20 percent are Muslim, and the remaining 40 percent practice traditional African religions. | Kunanqa sapa 100 runakunamantan 40 runakuna “cristianon kayku ” ninku, 20 runakunan musulmán religionmanta kanku, 40 runakunataq Africapi kaq huk religionkunamanta. |
The people who live in the rural areas of Cameroon are particularly hospitable. | Hawa llaqtakunapi tiyaq runakunaqa sumaqtan visitakunata chaskinku. |
Visitors are greeted and welcomed inside the home, where they are served water and food. | Napaykuspan wasinkuman pasaykachinku unuta mikhunatawan haywarinankupaq. |
To refuse the householder’s hospitality is considered an insult, while accepting the offer is a compliment. | Mana kasukuqkunatan qhawarinku wasiyoqtapas pisichashankuman hinata, kasukuqkunataqmi ichaqa sumaq qhawarisqa kanku. |
Conversation begins with greeting the family members and asking about their welfare. | Parlayta qallarinankupaqqa ñawpaqtan familiata napaykunku, tapurinkutaq imaynalla kasqankuta. |
It is even customary to ask how the animals are faring! | ¡Uywanku imaynalla kasqanta imaraqmi tapurikunku! |
“When a guest leaves a household, it isn’t enough to say, ‘ Good - bye, ’ ” says Joseph, a native of Cameroon.“ Often, the host will accompany the guest partway down the road and continue conversing with him. | Chay llaqtayoq Joseph nin: “Visitanku wasinkumanta ripuqtinqa manan ‘ huk p’unchaykama ’ nispallachu kachapunku, aswanmi parlan - parlan ñanta pusapunku. |
Then, at some point, he will bid the visitor farewell and return home. | Chaymantaña kachapuspataq wasinkuman kutipunku. |
A guest who does not receive this treatment may feel unappreciated. ” | Mana chayta ruwaqtinkuqa pisichasqa hinan visita ripunman ”, nispa. |
When sharing a meal, sometimes a group of friends will eat from the same plate — at times, with their hands. | Mayninqa amigokunantin huñunakuspan huk platollamanta makillankuwan mikhunku. |
In Cameroon, this custom is a powerful symbol of unity. | Chay costumbren Camerún nacionpi ruwakun hukllachasqa kanankupaq. |
In fact, on occasion it has been used to bring together people whose friendship has faded for some reason. In a sense, a communal meal is a way of saying, “We are now at peace. ” | Sichus imaraykupas amigokuna t’aqanakurqanku chayqa, hukmanta “amigontin kanankupaqmi ” chayta ruwanku. |

THE BIBLE’S VIEWPOINT | ¿IMA NINMI BIBLIA? |
Some think that Paradise is nothing more than a myth. | Wakin runakunan Paraisomanta rimaspa ninku: “Ñawpa machulakunaq rimaynillanmi ”, nispa. |
Others believe that it is a gardenlike utopia where good people live forever and share in joyful and productive activities. | Hukkunataq ninku: “Allin runakunalla wiñaypaq sumaq kawsasqankumanta mosqokuy hinallan ”, nispa. |
The word “paradise ” has been used to designate mankind’s first home, the garden of Eden. | “Paraíso ” nispaqa runakunapaq Diospa ruwasqan Edén huertamantan rimashan (Génesis 2: 7 - 15). |
The Bible presents that garden as a real place where the first human couple lived free of disease and death. | Bibliaq nisqan hina, Diospa kamasqan ñawpaq warmi qharin chay huertapi tiyarqanku mana onqospa mana wañuspa (Génesis 1: 27 - 28). |
Because they disobeyed God, the first couple lost their paradisaic home. | Paykunaqa Diosta mana kasukusqankumantan chay huertamanta qarqochikurqanku. |
However, many Bible prophecies describe a future in which humans will enjoy Paradise restored. | Ichaqa Biblian willan hamuq tiempopi chhayna sumaq Paraisopi runakuna tiyanankumanta. |
If God is loving, then it would make sense that he would reward his faithful worshippers with a good life in such a place as Paradise. | Diosqa ancha munakuqmi, chaymi pay sonqo runakunaman huk Paraisopi sumaq kawsayta qonqa. Ichaqa, ¿imatan ruwananchis kamachinkunata hina chaskiwananchispaq? |
It would also make sense that he would inform people about what they need to do in order to gain God’s approval. | Bibliaq nisqan hina, astawanmi paymanta yachananchis chayman hinataqmi kawsananchis. |
The Bible says that you can gain God’s approval by taking in knowledge of him and obeying his commands. — John 17: 3; 1 John 5: 3. | “Señor Diosmi Edenpi huertata plantarqan [...] hinaspan ruwasqan runata chayman churarqan. ” |
“Jehovah God planted a garden in Eden,... and there he put the man whom he had formed. ” — Genesis 2: 8. | (Génesis 2: 8.) |
Some believe that Paradise is in heaven, while others claim that it will be established in the future on earth. | Wakin runakunan ninku: “Paraisoqa hanaq pachapin kashan ”, nispa. |
The original Paradise for mankind was on earth. | Hukkunataq ninku: “Qhepamanmi kay Hallp’a paraisoman tukupunqa ”, nispa. |
God has clearly designated the earth as the permanent home for humans. | Diosmi runakunapaq Hallp’ata kamarqan chaypitaqmi huk sumaq paraisota ruwarqan runakuna wiñaypaq tiyanankupaq. |
The Bible says that God made our planet to last forever. | Biblian willan kay Hallp’aqa mana hayk’aq tukukunanpaq kamasqa kasqanta (Salmo 104: 5). |
It also states: “To Jehovah the heavens belong, but the earth he has given to the sons of men. ” — Psalm 115: 16. | Hinaspapas ninmi: “Hanaq pachaqa Señor Diospa kaqninmi, kay pachatataqmi runaman qorqan ”, nispa (Salmo 115: 16). |
It is not surprising, then, that the Bible holds out the promise of Paradise on earth. | Chaymi mana admirakunachu kay Hallp’a paraisoman tukunanpaq Bibliaq willasqanmanta. |
In it, God will bless mankind with everlasting life. | Chaypin Dios runakunaman wiñay kawsayta qonqa. |
Harmony and peace will prevail. | Chaypiqa manan pipas ñak’arinqachu nitaq nanayta muchunqachu. |
Pain and suffering will be gone. | Llapa runakunan thakpi kusisqa tiyanqaku. |
And people will be able to enjoy to the full the natural wonders of planet earth. — Isaiah 65: 21 - 23. | Diospa tukuy imaymana ruwasqanwanmi kusikunqaku (Isaías 65: 21 - 23). |
“The tent of God is with mankind,... and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. ” — Revelation 21: 3, 4. | “Runakunawanñan Diosqa tiyan, [...] manan wañuypas kanqañachu, manallataqmi llakikuypas, waqaypas, nanaypas kanqañachu. ” (Apocalipsis 21: 3, 4.) |
Many religions teach that only good people will live in Paradise. | Askha religionkunan yachachinku, “allin runakunallan Paraisopiqa tiyanqaku ”, nispa. |
But there is much confusion as to what “good ” means. | Ichaqa manan yachankuchu pikunan chay “allin runakuna ” kasqanta. |
Some think that it is enough simply to participate in religious ceremonies and ritualistic prayers. | Wakinqa religionninkupi costumbrekuna hunt’asqankuwan rezasqankuwan iman allin runapaq qhawarikunku. |
The Bible teaches that “the righteous ” will live in Paradise. | Biblian willan “chanin runakuna ” Paraisopi tiyanankuta. |
But who is righteous in God’s eyes? | ¿Pikunatan Dios chaninpaq qhawarin? |
Not the person who engages in the rituals of his religion while ignoring God’s will. | ¿Diospa munasqanta qhepanchaspa religionninpi costumbrekuna ruwaqtachu? |
The Bible says: “Does Jehovah have as much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of Jehovah? | Manan, Biblian nin: “Señor Diospa qayllanpi aswan allinqa kasukuymi ruphachina sacrificiota wak sacrificiotawan haywaymantaqa. |
Look! To obey is better than a sacrifice. ” | Aswan allinqa uyarikuymi, kasukuymi uywakunaq wiran ruphachinamantaqa ”, nispa (1 Samuel 15: 22). |
Simply put, “the righteous ” who will live forever in Paradise are the ones who obey God’s commands as outlined in the Bible. | Paraisopi wiñaypaq tiyaq “chanin runakunaqa ”, Bibliapi Diospa kamachikusqanta kasukuqkunan kanqaku. |
Obedience to God’s commandments involves more than participation in religious ceremonies. | Diospa sonqonta kusichinaykipaqqa Bibliatan allinta t’aqwirinayki. |
By your everyday conduct, you may either please or displease God. | Payqa manan mana hunt’ay atinatachu imatapas kamachiwanchis. |
You can learn to please God by carefully examining the Bible. | Biblia willan ‘ kamachikuyninkunaqa mana sinchi sasachu ’ kasqanta. |
And he is not hard to please. | Kasukuq runakunamantaqmi Paraisopi kawsayta qonqa. |
The Bible says that “his commandments are not burdensome. ” God is eager to reward your obedience by granting you entrance into Paradise. | “Chanin runakunaqa kay hallp’atan hap’ikapunqaku, chaypin wiñaypaq tiyanqaku. ” |
“The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it. ” — Psalm 37: 29. | (Salmo 37: 29.) |
WAS IT DESIGNED? | ¿KIKILLANMANTACHU PAQARIMURQAN? |
THE bar - tailed godwit makes one of the most amazing migrations known to man. | AGUJA colipinta karuta phalasqanmi llapa runakunata anchata admirachin. |
The bird’s 7,000 - mile (11,000 km) journey can take more than eight days. | Mana samarispan pusaq p’unchayta otaq mastapas 11.000 kilometrota phalan. |
Consider: Researchers speculate that some types of birds use the earth’s magnetic field for navigation, as if they had a compass built into their brain. | Kaypi yuyaykuy: Investigaqkunan ninku wakin phalaq animalkunaqa umankupipas huk brujulayoq kankuman hina kay pachapi kaq kallpawan (campo magnético) yanapachikusqankuta. |
It is possible that the godwit additionally navigates by means of the sun by day and the stars by night. | Aguja colipinta animalqa yaqapaschá punch’aypi phalananpaq Inti maymanchus risqanwan yanapachikun tutatataq ch’askakunawan. |
It seems that the godwit can also sense upcoming storm systems that could allow it to benefit from tailwinds. | Hinaspapas wayrakunaq hamusqanta reparaspan chaykunawan yanapachikullanmantaq. |
Still, the details of just how these birds make their incredible journey baffle experts. | Imaynaña kanman chaypas, investigaqkunaqa manan yachankuraqchu imaynapi chhayna karu phalasqanta. |
“I’ve been studying them 20 years, ” says biologist Bob Gill,“ and it’s still jaw - dropping to me. ” | Bob Gill biologon nin: “Chay animaltan 20 wataña estudiashani, chaywanpas kunankaman sinchita admirachiwan ”, nispa. |
What Do You Think? | ¿Ima ninkin chaymanta? |
Did the navigational system of the bar - tailed godwit come about by evolution? Or was it designed? | ¿Kikillanmantachu kay animal chhayna karu phalayta yacharqan icha kamasqachu karqan? |
