Baama lyakabaleka, bakalyuuma bbi. Teesyi pe oobo mbubakakomezya bana babo kuti kabaambawida bantunyina! Ime ndakalaa myaka yakuzyalwa iili kkumi ayisanu (15), alimwi eeco ciindi ndakaboolede kuzyookkalila kumunzi akuzyoolyookezya kuzwa kucikolo nkotwakali kukkala mazuba woonse. Umwi mweenzuma wakaboolelezya andime kwesu, mpoonya baama bakandimvwa nkwekanana munzila mpya yakusaula akubbodweeda mulongwaangu.
Lino, muziyanza zyabantu zimwi—mbuli kucisi Cipati ca Britain—kufubaazya akusaulula muntu, cilibonya aanga ninzila imwi yakwaamba zintu zisesya. Ninzila yakulicenjeezya maanu aako kwiinda mukufubaazya muntunyoko. Ha! Ha! Ha! Alimwi nee, Ulasesya yebo omudaala oocembeede. Alimwi mbweenya mbuli boobo.
Mucisi ca Amelika, kufubaazya muntu ncintu cilanganyigwa kuti nkunyansya. Nkubaa mazwipu. Kufubaazya muntu, ninzila imwi yakwaamba cintu cakunonga muntunyoko kutegwa cimucumbe kumoyo alimvwe kubaanga musilu.”1 Tacili cintu pe ncanga walangila kukkomanina mukaintu waku Amelika kuti eeco wacimvwa kacitupuluka kuzwa mumulomo wa mwanaakwe ngwaakakomezya munzila iiluleme.
Baama bakandikwelela kumbali kuti bandilaye cakaziziizi. Baama bakandilaya kabaamba kuti, “zimwi ziindi tobantu toonse tutalika ziyanza zibyaabi kakwiina kulijata kusikila umwi muntu wakutondezya aawo mpolubide.

Eeco tacili ciyanza ncoyanda kuzumanana nkaambo ciyoomwaandaanya yebo amweenzinyoko akucisana myoyo.”
Lino lyakandileka ambebo, ndakabula bwina bwakubbizya mutwe wangu. Kusikila ciindi eelyo baama nibakandaambila makani aaya, Ime nsyeekalibwene kuti “kulicenjeezya” kwangu (kwiinda mukufubaazya mweenzuma) inga capa kuti ndimusye kumoyo. Mpoonya aawo Ime ndakalekela limwi cilengwa eeco, ndakasowa kasamu ajoongola, nsyecaambauli munzila yamusyobo ooyo, nkaambo teesyi ngomusyobo wamuntu ooyo ngweekali kuyanda kuti ndibe.

Nokuba boobo, zimwi ziindi mulumbe wakulaya muntu, uleelede kupegwa kumuntu ooyo, nkaambo ulaa mulimo kapati cakuti tuukonzyi kulesyegwa kwaambilwa kumuntu nkaambo kakuti inga wamucisya moyo. Zimwi ziindi kulaigwa kuleelede kwaambwa cakusyaanikizya nkaambo cintu cikonzya kutobela waawo kuti muntu taalaigwa, ncintu cinjizya muntu muntenda.
Mbombuboobo mbwiibede milumbe ya Mufutuli Yahushua kuzikombelo zili ciloba mu Ciyubunuzyo 2-3.

Nokuba boobo, eeci cibalo cigaminide milumbe eeyo yakatuminwa zikombelo zya Philadelphia a Laodicea. Eeyi milumbe yakucenjezya, izwa Kujulu—akutamba—bantu basyomeka mazubaano kuti baboole ku Mwami.
Cikombelo ca Luyando mu Bwanabokwabo
“Angelo wambungano yaku-Filadelfia umulembele boobu. Ngaaya makani ngaamba ooyo uusalala akusinizya, ooyo uujisi cijaluzyo ca-Davida, nguwe uujula, elyo taakwe muntu uujala, alimwi nguujala, elyo taakwe muntu uujula.

Nkaambo waamba kuti, Ndi muvubi, ndivubide lubono, taakwe cintu neembula, pele tozi kuti ulipengede, ulisampaukide, uli mucete, uli moofu, alimwi uli acinswe.” (Ciyubunuzyo 3:7-13, NKJV)
Imulumbe wa cikombelo ca Philadelphia, ulalibonya kuti tumwi twaambo twamisela yamunzi ooyo twalangwalangwa. Philadelphia wakali munzi wakayakwidwe amaswaanganino aanzila. Mugwagwa mupati ooyo wakali kutozya kumunzi wa Loma, wakali kukosola kwiinda mumunzi ooyo.

Aabo bayoozumanana kusyomeka bayoolelekwa kuba “misemo” mu tempele lyokwa Yahuwah. Nkaambo kukabe kutamani,icikkelo cabumboni cinikwaanzikide atalaa mbabo kacaambilizya kuti Yahuwah mubotu.
Izina Lipya
Munzi wa Philadelphia wakaulikwa zina lipya ziindi zyobile mumusela mutaanzi kuzwa ciindi ca Kristu. Ciindi citaanzi wakapegwa zina lya Neocaesarea, naa “dolopo lya Caesar lipya”, Kutobela muzuzumo wanyika wakadimiluna munzi mu A.D. 17. Tiberius Caesar wakasangila mali manjaanji mukusoleka kuyakulula munzi, alimwi zina lyamunzi lyakapedwa kulumbaizya lugwasyo lwakwe. Izina lyabili lyakacinca eelyo muleli, Vespasian, naakatumina mali aakugwasyilila kakwiindide muzuzumo wanyika uumwi.
Ooku kucinca zina kwakapedwa kulemekezya akulumbaizya yooyo wakapede lugwasyo. Cimwi cintu cakapegwa kucikombelo ca Philadelphia, cakali cakulembwa zina lipya. Aabo bazumanana kutobela Mwami Yahuwah muciindi camamanino aamusela wanyika bayooba bakamboni bazumi ba bubotu abululami bwa mfulumende yabulemu bwa Kujulu kukabe kutamani. Balo bayoolemekezyegwa akupegwa zina lyokwa Yahuwah amunzi Uusetekene wa Jelusalema kuulembedwe ali mbabo.
Icikombelo ca Philadelphia cipedwe zina lyeelela. Akataa zikombelo zyoonse, aabo bali mucikombelo eeci mbabalemekezya Mwami Yahuwah kwiinda boonse, nkaambo mumaumi aabo balanganya cikombelo ca Philadelphia kuti ncecitondezya buumi bwa Mufutuli. Eelyo umwi similawo naakabuzya Yahushua kuti, “O Simalelo, nguuli mulawo mupati kwiinda yoonse?” (Mateyo 22:36, KJV), Yahushua wakamwiingula mpoonya aawo kuti: “Webo koyanda Mwami Yahuwah Leza wako amoyo wako woonse, amuya wako woonse, alimwi amizeezo yako yoonse. Ooyu ngomulawo mutaanzi mupati. Mpoonya wabili ulakonzya ayooyu, Webo koyanda mweenzinyoko mbuli mboliyanda. Atalaa milawo yobile eeyi mpaayeeme mulawo woonse abashinshimi.” (Mateyo 22:37-40, KJV)
Luyando. Luyando ngomusemo wa mulawo ookwa Yahuwah. Luyando nceciimo Cakwe antoomwe amulawo Wakwe. Johane wakalemba kuti: “Nobayandwa, atuyandane: nkaambo luyando ndulwa Leza; alimwi kufumbwa ooyo uuyanda wakazyalwa kuzwa kuli Leza, alimwi ulimuzyi Leza. Ooyo uutayandi muntu naba omwe tamuzyi Leza pe; nkaambo Leza ngo luyando.” (1 Johane 4:7-8, KJV) Muli ceeci, bantu baku Philadelphia bakabekema amumuni wakujulu, kwiinda cikombelo cili coonse. Ncobeni ibbala lini lyakuti “Philadelphia” liiminina “luyando lwa bwanabokwabo.” Balo baitwa kuti Ncikombelo ca Luyando lwa Bwanabokwabo. Balo balayanda kapati nkaambo bakalekelelwa zinjaanji.

Cikombelo caku Laodicea
“Angelo wambungano yaku-Laodisiya umulembele boobu.
Ngaaya makani ngaamba Mwami, kamboni uusyomeka uusinizye, matalikilo aabulenge bwa-Yahuwah, Ndiizi milimo yako mbwiibede, nkaambo moyo wako tuubulili kupya, nekubaboobo tuupisyi loko.
Niwabulilila kupya nanka niwapisya.

Nkaambo waamba kuti, Ndi muvwubi, ndivwubide lubono, taakwe cintu ncebulide, pele tozi kuti ulipengede, ulisampaukide, uli mucete, uli moofu, alimwi uli acinswe.
Ndakubuzya kuti uule kulindime ingolida iyakasunkwa mumulilo, kuti uvwube, amasani aatuba aakulisamika, kuti insoni zyacinswe cako zitaboneki, alimwi unanike meso aako amafuta, kuti ubone, Aabo mbenjanda ndababwekela akubakoma, nkaambo kaako usungwaale akweempwa.
Bona, ndiimvwi kumulyango, ndakonkomona, Na kuli muntu uuswiilila ijwi lyangu akundijulila mulyango, nzoonjila mulinguwe, nkalalile awe, alakwe ambebo.

Mukushinshima mulimo wa Messiah, Izaya wakaambilizya kuti: “Itete lifuyukide takooyoolityola, akamuni kasuka takooyookazimya. Uyooleta lubeta cakusyomeka.” (Izaya 42:3, KJV) Yahushua wakali kukkomanina kugwasya bantunyina akubakulwaizya. Walo wakali kubweza ntaamu mpati kuti akulwaizye akuyumyayumya bantunyina. Nkaambo kakuti mulumbe wakwe ku bantu baku Laodicea uzwide buyo kukalala, eeco ncecintu ciyubununa kuti balo bali muntenda ncobeni. Mbuli mukaintu wamoyo mubombe mbwapozomokela mwanaakwe kuti, “Koima aawo!”, kuti alesye mwaakwe kubalikila kumbelaa mootokala nokuba namutekenya, akwalo mbweenya buyo kukalala kwa Mufutuli Yahushua ku cikombelo ca Laodicea, mulumbe wakabambilwa kuti usinsimune bantu ciindi camanananino akubalesya kunjila muntenda.
Mumuni uuyungizya kumwekesya = Uyungizya kutondezya Masimpe
Cikombelo ca Laodicea ciiminina zyalane licaalizya mu Buna Kristu. Kuzwa ciindi ca Kubambulula kwa Basikutongooka mumusela wacisambomwe kuzwa ciindi ca Kristu, mumuni wakali kuyungizya kupegwa kuli baabo bakali kubala ma Bbaibbele aabo.

Acalo Cikombelo ca Katolika caku Loma, nokuba kuti cicinembetele kuziyanza zyamutuni, pele lino cilaa mumuni munji kwiinda ngucaajisi muciindi cokwa Martin Luther.4
Pele nokuba kuti kuli mumuni uuyaa kuyungizya kumwekesya, eeco tiicakayungizya kulyaaba akusyomeka akataa basyomi. Kunze lyaboobo, mumuni uuyungizya kumwekesya wakaletelezya buyo kulikwaya muzinyonyoono. Kulisumpula mumoza. Kulisumpula mubupaizi. Eeci nceciimo ciletela kusesemwa kuli Kamboni Wamasimpe.
Accu kaka, nobantu ba Laodicea. Mulayandisya “maambaamba” pele tamuyandi “kweendela munzila ziluleme”. Majwi aabo alakasaala alimwi “malemu” pele micito yabo (iitobelezya mizeezo yamyoyo yabo) ilatontola kuti “sikoo”.
Bantu ba Laodicea batondeka kubunji bwazintu eezyo nzyobazyi mazubaano kwiinda nzyobakazyi bana Kristu bakaindi, aboobo kuli mbabo eeci ncecibatondezya kuti balisumpukide. Balo balikkomene akulyaamba kuti mbantu ba Laodicea. Milumbe minjaanji iijatikizya ciimo cabu Laodicea, ilakambaukwa ku bana Kristu bamazubaano kubatondezya mbobali muciimo eeco.

Eeci nciimo citakwe lugwasyo pe. Kuleka buyo kuti bantu ba Laodicea “balisofweede akupenga, mbacete alimwi mboofu, alimwi balaa mantanda,”pele, kwiinda mukuyandisya kulyaamba kuba bantu ba Laodicea, balo balizuminide mumizeezo yabo kuti “balivwubide, akubaa lubono lunji, alimwi kunyina ncobabulide.”
Masimpe ngakuti, cikombelo ca Laodicea ciiminina cikombelo zyabuna Kristu zyoonse zyamazubaano. Kunyina pe cikombelo ciindidwe kumbali nokuba mbungano iizandudwe pe. Zyoonse zikombelo, abantu boonse, mbaa Laodicea nkaambo kufumbwa mbungano yabupaizi iiliko mazubaano kakwiina kusiila kumbali niiba yomwe, zililiibide mutusimpe ooto ntozijisi kale alimwi taziyandide kuyaamuka kuzwa waawo kubweza ntaamu yakutobela tusimpe ooto tuyaa kulibonya.
- Bakatolika baku Loma bakakumbatila4 lusyomyo lwa kufutulwa kwiinda mukusyoma kulikke, pele bacizumanana kunamatila muzeezo wadyabooli wabaleza botatwe mumubili waleza omwe, akukaka bupaizi bwazikombelo zimwi, akulamatila kubupaizi bwabantu bakonzya kufwa.
- Bakamboni ba Jehovah abalo lwabo balalikankaizya mukukaka mapobwe aamituni amazina aayitwa Mwami Yahuwah, pele bakaka kubamba mapobwe aakasimpe ookwa Yahuwah nokuba kubelesya zina Lyakwe lini.
- Ba Mormon bakkala maumi aabunkutwe akuliimya, akupona buumi bubotu, pele bacizumenene kucita ziyanza zilubide, kusanganya a kukomba mu Nsondo akataa zyeezyo.
- Ba SDA, ba Bbaputisiti, amyaanda myaanda yazikombelo zikomba Mujibelo, bakalelekwa kubaa luzyibo lwakuti Mulengi wesu uciyanda kukombwa mubuzuba bwaciloba bwamvwiki bwa Nsabata, pele balalikaka kkalenda lilikke eelyo lyeelede kubelesyegwa mukubalila buzuba bwini bululeme bwa Nsabata yabuzuba bwaciloba!
Zyoonse zikombelo zyabuna Kristu sunu, nzikombelo zilaa ciimo ca Laodicea nkaambo comwe-comwe akati kazyo, munzila yomwe nokuba munzila zinjaanji zimwi, cakasulaika kasimpe akukaka mumuni uuyungizya kumweka atalaa nyika kuzwa Kujulu mazubaano. Aboobo, kufumbwa muna Kristu uupona mazubaano, ulitambidwe a Kamboni Wamasimpe kuti aboole kumumuni.
Musamu wa Bulemu
Bantu ba Laodicea mbamwi bainda kusofwaala akataa zikombelo zyoonse, pele Mufutuli wesu ulabayanda alimwi ubafwida lweetelelo mbweenya buyo mbuli bamwi. Moyo wakwe mupati waluyando, ulangila mbabo alimwi uyandisya kuti boonse bakeempwe kutegwa bakafutulwe. Walo upa mulumbe uubaumbulizya akuboongelezya kuti: “Boonse aabo mbeyanda Ime, Ime ndabalulamika akubalaya; aboobo amusongwaale, akweempwa.” (Ciyubunuzyo 3:19, KJV)
Mufutuli ulilibambide alimwi uliyandisyide kuti aabile kufumbwa mwanaakwe uuli muciimo cabu Laodicea, ooyo uuyandika kweempwa akusanduka:
- Golide yakasalazyigwa mumulilo (eeyo ndusyomo lugaminina mu Mufutuli)
- Zikobela zituba (eezyo mbululami Bwakwe bwini Mufutuli wesu)
- Musamu wameso (ooko nkuteelelesya mumoza akuzunda masunko amizeezo yalucengo iizwa kuli Saatani mumazuba aamamanino aano)
Kufumbwa ncoyanda yebo, walo ulakonzya kukupa! Alimwi zyoonse zipego eezyo waakuzitambula, yebo uyootalika kulibona mbotakwe lugwasyo muzibeela zyabuumi bwako zyoonse.
Cikombelo ca Laodicea, cilaa ciimo ciyandika kufutulwa. Ciimo cabaabo beempwa cilasanduka eelyo nobateelela Kamboni Wamasimpe. Bantu ba Laodicea aabo beempwa kulisumpula kwabo, kulidunda mumoza, akuyaamukila limwi ciimo ca Laodicea balakonzya kuba akataa munzi wa Philadelphia, mucikombelo ciinda kuba cimbonimboni cokwa Kristu Yahushua.
Ooyu mucito wakuyaamuka ciimo cabu Laodicea akusangana ku Philadelphia, nceciimo caandaanya musela wamamanino akataa mazyalane woonse aakainda. Kunyina pe nkamu yabantu ayimwi yakaitwa boobo kuti iyaamuke zilengwa aziyanza zyamoza eezyo zibaangilila kubalongwenyina, basazinyina amikwasyi yokwabo munzila iili boobu. Ciyubunuzyo 18, cipede malailile aamba kuti “Kamuzwa muli nguwe, nobantu Bangu!” (Ciyubunuzyo 18:4, 1599 Geneva Bible) Kufumbwa muntu waciimo cabu Laodicea weempwa, uyooteelela malalailile aayo.
Bulumbu bwa Kusyomeka
Kufumbwa mbungano yabupaizi mazubaano, ili muciimo ca Laodicea. Kufumbwa cikombelo comwe comwe, munzila imwi nokuba aciindi cimwi, cakasulaika mumuni uuyungizya kumweka akuyubununa kasimpe kuzwa Kujulu. Kuteelela malailile aa Kamboni Wamasimpe, ncintu ciyandika kucita cintu eeco citanacitidwe ankamu iili yoonse: kutobela Mwanaambelele kufumbwa Walo nkwagama, nokuba kuti eeco kacaambilizya kuti yebo uzwe muzikombelo amumbungano zyabupaizi ooko nkookali kuzulilwa mubuumi bwako boonse.
Tabali banji bantu bakonzya kucita cintu camusyobo ooyu. Bunji bwabantu balayandisya kulibona kuti bazulilwa akataa nkamu yabantu basyoma zintu zibakkomanisya. Pele tabalibambide kwiimikila kabali balikke kabakobelela kasimpe.
Pele oobo bulumbu bulundila baabo balisungula kusanduka, tabweezyekwi pe!
Mwaapositolo Paulu wakalemba kuti: Pele mbuli mbukulembedwe kuti, Aayo ngaatabwene meso, Ayaayo ngatamvwide matwi, Ayaayo aatana kunjila mumoyo wamuntu, Ngaonya Leza ngaabambilide baabo bamuyanda.” (1 Bakolinto 2:9, KJV) Nokuba kuti eeci cisyomyo ciyoozuzikwa kuli boonse aabo bayoonununwa, ciyoozuzikwa munzila yiindene kuli baabo basyaalizi bayaamuka Laodicea akusandukila kuba cinkonzya cokwa Yahushua, akusangana ku Cikombelo ca Luyando mu Bwanabokwabo.
Cikombelo ca Laodicea, ncikombelo caciloba cilaa bulumbu buli ciloba bulundila baabo bateelela Kamboni Wamasimpe akweempwa nzila zyabo zitaluleme.
Comwe comwe akataa zikombelo, cilaa bulumbu bucigeme busombedwe kuli yooyo uuzunda, pele bulumbu bwabaabo beempwa ku Laodicea, bulainda atalaa bulumbu boonse. Eelyo muntu wa Laodicea nayempwa akusangana cikombelo ca Philadelphia, cikombelo cacisambomwe, bulumbu buli cisambomwe bwabaabo bazunda mu Philadelphia mbubwakwe alakwe. Mboobu bulumbu Bwakwe:
- Ikkunga lya Saatani liyookotamina kumaulu aabakomi, akuzuminizya kuti Yahuwah wakabayanda ncobeni. (Langa Ciyubunuzyo 3:9.)
- Uyookobelelwa muwoola lya masunko, aayo aaboolela nyika yoonse.( Langa Ciyubunuzyo 3:10.)
- Uyooba musemo mu tempele lyokwa Yahuwah alimwi kunyina natikayaamuke kuzwa mumo. (Langa Ciyubunuzyo 3:12.)

- Ulaa zina lipya lyokwa Yahushua kalilembedwe ali nguwe, kalitondezya kuti walo ngumwi akataa mukwasyi ookwa Yahushua. (Langa Ciyubunuzyo 3:12.)
Kuli baabo balibombya akulitolaansi kwiinda mukusyoma akuzumina kukalalilwa ooko kuzida bantu ba Laodicea, eeco ncecimaninizya kupandulula ciimo cabo nokuba kuti balo tabalibwene kuti bali boobo, pele kucili bulumbu bumwi bwiinda waawo.
“Kuli yooyo uukoma Ime njoomulekela kuti akakkale andime acuuno cangu, mbweenya ambeyo mbweekakoma akukkala acuuno ca Taata.”
Ma! Kulibotela bulumbu nobantu! Kukkala acuuno cabuleli antoomwe amufutuli! Mbubuti mbocinga caba cintu eeci?
Mukaano kamuvwubi wabanyama ooyo wakalumbula babelesi ibakatalika kubeleka muwoola lya kkumi abulumbu bwiinda mbwaakalumbula baabo bakatalikide musyule lyabo, Mufutuli Yahushua wakapandulula kuti: "Aboobo ucaalizya uyooba mutaanzi, alimwi mutaanzi uyooba ucaalizya: nkaambo mbanji bakaitwa pele mbasyoonto buyo bakasalwa. (Mateyo 20:16) Mumajwi amwi, ooku nkwaamba kuti, izyalane lyamamanino aamusela, lilamulemeka Mwami Yahuwah kwiinda zyalane lili lyoonse lyakainda musyule lyaciindi. Kaambo keni ncocili boobu nkakuti: bantu ba musela wamamanino mbantu bazyalane, licaalizya. Balo bali kulaale kuzwa kuli Adamu. Balo bakakona zyuulu zyamyaka ili cisambomwe ya ziyanza azilengwa zyakucita cibi, pele kwiinda mukusyoma Mufutuli akulyaaba cakumaninina maumi aabo woonse, balo bakazunda.

Pele, balo batambula bulumbu bwiinda buli boonse bwakapedwe nkamu yabasyomi eeyo yakainda kusyule lyabo. Kuyungizya bulumbu buli cisambomwe oobo bupegwa bantu baku Philadelphia, balo bapegwa ciindi cibotu cakukkala antoomwe acuuno cabuleli a Mufutuli Yahushua. Alimwi nkaambo bakazyila akataa baabo baindide kusofwaala, balo bakalemekezya Mwami Yahuwah eelyo bunji bwabantu, nokuba kuti bakanyina nguzu, bakaloofweede, akutambula ciimo ciwide kuzwa kuluzubo lwabo, balo bakacengulukila ku Mufutuli, alimwi kwiinda mukusyoma muli Nguwe, bakabamba mulawo Wakwe, bakanununwa akusalazyigwa.

Balo bayoomvwisisya kasimpe kwiinda zyalane lyaikanda lili lyoonse, alimwi kuzwa muntimba oomo mubakanjombede luyando luteeli lwakabazyula; aboobo lwiimbo lwabo luyooba lwakutembaula Taata akupa bulumbu ku Mwanaakwe.

MUTWE WA MWANDA WA PA KIBALU | MUMWENA LEZA KUTOMA MFWANKA
Lelo Leza Umonanga Kutoma Mfwanka Namani?
Naoko utelelwe mu kishinte kibajinji, wisambila pa muswelo waalekele kutoma mfwanka amba, “nabwenye kushinta būmi bwami mwanda wa kwifunda bubinebine butala pa ngikadilo ya Leza ne pa mpango yandi.” Byobya byaefundile bitanwa mu Bible. Nansha Bible byakatelelepo mfwanka, ino witukwashanga tuyuke muswelo umona Leza kutoma mfwanka. * Buno buyuki bukankamikanga bavule bakomene nansha kuleka kino kibidiji. (2 Temote 3:16, 17) Tubandaulei’ko bidi bintu bibi bisatu biyukane, bilupukanga ku kutoma mfwanka ne kumona byobya binena’po Bible.
KUTOMA MFWANKA I KUKOMO KULEKA
Mu mfwanka mudi bintu bikolwañana biyukene bu—bulobo (nicotine). Bantu batomanga’yo mwanda wa kukimba bukomo ne njimija-bulanda. Kutoma mfwanka kuletelanga bongolo bulobo bukidibukidi kadi kitatyi ne kitatyi. Mwishi ulupukanga’ko byowikalanga na bulobo kampanda, muntu utoma mwayene wa pake umo pa difuku wesanga kintu kya buvule bwa bulobo 200 pa difuku, bulobo bwine bukatampe kupita budi mu kitomibwa kyo kyonso kikolwañana. Buno buvule bwa kitatyi ne kitatyi bulengejanga bulobo bwa mfwanka butomibwe mu muswelo wa pa bula. Shi muntu utoma mfwanka wapi mu dino dikinga, ubelanga shi kyaka kyandi kya bulobo bwa mfwanka kekipwilepo.
“Mwi bapika ba yewa omukōkele’wa.” —Loma 6:16
Le ubwanya bine kukōkela Leza shi kutoma mfwanka i kukumune bupika?
Bible witukwasha twikale na mumweno muyampe mu uno mwanda kitatyi kyanena amba: “Le kemuyukilepo amba shi mwipāna ku muntu kampanda bu bapika bakōkele, mwi bapika ba yewa omukōkele’wa.” (Loma 6:16) Shi milangwe ne bilongwa bya muntu i bitādilwe na kyaka kya mfwanka, kakejepo kwikala umpika wa kino kibidiji kibi. Inoko, Leza wa dijina dya bu Yehova, usakanga twikale banyongololwe, ke’nkapo ku bibidiji byona umbidi wetu, ino i ne ku byobya byona mushipiditu wetu, ko kunena’mba, kufwatakanya kwa ñeni yetu. (Ñimbo 83:18; 2 Kodinda 7:1) Nanshi, kitatyi kitamijanga muntu kusangela ne bulēme bwa kulēmeka Yehova, ujingululanga’mba ufwaninwe kupa Yehova bintu byandi bilumbuluke ne amba, kabwanyapo kupa Leza bintu byandi bilumbuluke koku wikele nyeke umpika wa kibidiji kibi. Kujingulula kino kupanga muntu mutyima wa kukomena bilokoloko bibi.
Olaf ushikatanga mu Alemanye, wakomene kibidiji kibi kya kutoma mfwanka kyaadi nakyo mu bula bwa myaka 16, kine kyaashilwile na myaka 12. Wanenene amba, “kilole kyandi kibajinji kyamwekele pamo bwa umbumbulu wa maimakasa ukaya na bana keubwanyapo kusanshija muntu. Ino, myaka pa kupita’po waikala ke mukatampe. Kyaba kimo ponalekele kutoma mfwanka, navutakanibwe ne kushilula kukongakanya tupindi mu kininga kya buto, kutalula mfwanka yonso ne kunyenga kilole na kapapye ka julunale. Pa kujingulula kino, mbwanya kumona’mba bwādi bumvu bwa binebine.” Le i muswelo’ka waalekele kino kibidiji kibi kya kutoma mfwanka? Unena’mba, “mwanda mukatampe mwine wadi wa kusaka kusangaja Yehova. Buswe Buswele Yehova bantu ne lukulupilo lwaletele, byampele bukomo bwa kuleka kutoma mfwanka mu difuku dimo kadi lonso.”
KUTOMA MFWANKA KONANGA NGITU
Dibuku dimo (The Tobacco Atlas) dinena’mba, “sianse ilombola’mba kutoma mfwanka . . . konanga kubwipi kwa biungo byonso bya ngitu ne kuvudija misongo ne mfu.” I biyukane biyampe’mba kutoma mfwanka kulengejanga misongo keibwanyapo kwambuka pamo bwa dyaya, misongo ya dityima ne misongo ya mayumba. Inoko, kukwatañana na Kitango kya Ntanda Kitala Myanda ya Bukomo bwa Ngitu (OMS), kutoma mfwanka i kintu kikwabo kileta lufu lutamba ku misongo yambuka pamo bwa kikofolo kya mushinga.
“Sanswa Yehova Leza obe na mutyima obe onso ne na muya obe onso ne na ñeni yobe yonso.”—Mateo 22:37
Lelo ukalombola’mba usenswe Leza ne kumulēmeka shi ona ngitu yakupele na kwisangaja na kibidiji kibi?
Kupityila ku Bible Kinenwa kyandi, Yehova Leza witufundija twikale na mumweno muyampe pa būmi bwetu, pa umbidi wetu ne pa bwino bwetu. Yesu wandi Mwana wēsambīle pa uno mwanda paānene amba: “Sanswa Yehova Leza obe na mutyima obe onso ne na muya obe onso ne na ñeni yobe yonso.” (Mateo 22:37) Na bubine, Leza witusakilanga twingidije būmi bwetu ne umbidi wetu biyampe ne kwibimona na bulēme. Kitatyi kyotwifunda myanda ya Yehova ne ya milao yandi, tufulanga ku kusanswa byonso byaetulongele ne kwibimona na mvubu. Kino kitukankamikanga twendelele kwinyongolola ku kintu kyo-kyonso kisubija ngitu yetu.
Jayavanth muñanga umo wa mu India, wadi utoma mfwanka mu bula bwa myaka 38. Wanene amba: “Nayukile kyaka kidi mu kutoma mfwanka kupityila ku majulunale a kiñanga. Nadi ndyukile amba i kubi, kadi nadi dingila bantu bonadi ñundapa baleke kino kibidiji. Ino ami mwine nkyadipo mbwanya kuleka kutoma’yo, nansha byonatompele misunsa itano nansha isamba.” Le i bika byamukweshe afule ku kuleka’yo? Unena amba: “Ami pa kwifunda Bible naleka’byo kutoma mfwanka. Mutyima wa kusaka kusangaja Yehova wantonwene ndeke lekē kino kibidiji kya kutoma mfwanka.”
KUTOMA MFWANKA KUSANSHIJANGA BAKWETU
Mwishi upēlwa ne owa utamba ku mfwanka wipaijananga. Kukoka uno mwishi kubwanya kulengeja misongo ya dyaya ne misongo mikwabo, kadi uno mwishi wipayanga mwaka ne mwaka bantu 600000 kebatomengapo mfwanka, divule dine bana-bakaji ne bana. Lapolo ya Kitango kya Ntanda Kitala Myanda ya Bukomo bwa Ngitu (OMS) idyumuna’mba: “Kukoka mwishi upēla muntu utoma mfwanka i kwitūla mu kyaka.”
“Sanswa mukwenu mowisanshilwe abe mwine.” —Mateo 22:39
Lelo bine ukalombola’mba usenswe mukwenu ne kisaka shi wibatūla mu kyaka kya kukoka mwishi olupula?
Kukwatañana na Yesu, kusanswa mukwetu—kisaka kyetu, balunda ne bantu botushikete nabo—i mbila ya bubidi kupwa kwa lubila lwa kusanswa Leza. Wānene amba: “Sanswa mukwenu mowisanshilwe abe mwine.” (Mateo 22:39) Shi twendelela na kibidiji kisanshija balunda netu, ketulombolangapo’mba tusenswe mukwetu. Buswe bwa binebine bwitutononanga tulonde kidyumu kya mu Bible kya amba: “Nanshi muntu ne muntu kakikimba kamweno ka aye mwine, ino akimbe nyeke kamweno ka mukwabo.”—1 Kodinda 10:24.
Armen ushikatanga mu Armeni uvuluka amba: “Kisaka kyami kyadi kinzenza ndeke kutoma mfwanka mwanda yadi ibakambakanya. Ino nkyadipo ngitabija’mba idi na lupusa lubi pobadi.” Ulombola bintu byashintyile mumweno wandi amba: “Kuyuka konayukile Bible ne buswe bonadi nswele Yehova byaunkweshe ndeke kutoma mfwanka ne kwitabija’mba yadi insanshija ami mwine ne bantu botushikete nabo.”
KUTOMA MFWANKA KONANGA KINTU KIYAMPE
Buyuki bwa mu Bible bwakweshe ba Olaf, Jayavanth ne Armen benyongolole mu kibidiji kibi kyadi kibasanshija ne kusanshija bakwabo. Kebabwenyepo kuleka kutoma mfwanka mwanda’tu wa kuyuka’mba kutoma’yo kusanshijanga bantu, ino mwanda bafudile ku kusanswa Yehova ne kwikala na mutyima wa kusaka kumusangaja. Mwingilo mukatampe wingila buswe i mulombolwe patōka mu kisonekwa kya 1 Yoano 5:3 kinena amba: “Mwanda buno namino bo buswe bwa Leza, amba tulame mbila yandi; kadi mbila yandi keilēmangapo, aa.” Na bubine, kulonda misoñanya ya mu Bible kekukekalapo nyeke kupēla, ino shi muntu utononwa na buswe bukatampe bwaswele Leza, kikōkeji kyandi kekikekalapo bu kiselwa kilēma.
Kupityila ku busapudi busapulwa ntanda yonso, Yehova Leza ukwashanga pano midiyo ne midiyo ya bantu benyongolole mu bupika bwa kutoma mfwanka. (1 Temote 2:3, 4) Panopano ponka, Yehova usa kutalula’ko kupityila ku Bulopwe bwandi—ko kunena’mba umbikalo wa momwa mūlu uludikwa na Yesu Kidishitu wandi Mwana— ntanda ya lwiso ya bya busunga, mine imunine bantu bupika bwa kutoma mfwanka. Usa kutalula’ko kipupo kya kutoma mfwanka kyona kintu kiyampe ne kufikija bantu ba kikōkeji ku bubwaninine bwa umbidi ne ñeni.—Isaya 33:24; Kusokwelwa 19:11, 15.
Shi wikondanga na kuleka mfwanka, kokazoza. Shi wifunde kuswa Yehova ne kumona kutoma mfwanka na mwaekumwena, nobe ubwanya kumona bukomo bosakilwa pa kuleka’yo. Batumoni ba Yehova bakasangela kukukwasha wifunde misoñanya ya mu Bible ne kwiingidija. Kulupila’mba shi ukimba Yehova akukwashe winyongolole mu kutoma mfwanka, ukakupa bukomo ne kukuningija. —Fidipai 4:13.
^ mus. 3 Kutoma mfwanka kufunkila pano pa kwesa mwishi wa mfwanka ulupuka ku bilole, bipindi bya bilole, mitonga nansha mitonga ya mema. Inoko, misoñanya isambila pa kutoma mfwanka itala ne pa kutankunya mfwanka, kununsha mfwanka, kutoma mfwanka ingila na shinga ya mudilo idi na bulobo ne bintu bikwabokwabo.

Yehova Wendejanga Bandi Bantu
“Yehova ukekala kilongoji kyobe nyeke.”
ÑIMBO: 152, 22
1, 2. (a) Le Batumoni ba Yehova i beshile namani na bipwilo bikwabo? (b) I bika byotusa kubandaula mu kino kishinte ne mu kilonda’ko?
DIVULE bantu bepangulanga Batumoni ba Yehova amba, “Le mwendeji wenu i ani?” Bepangulanga namino mwanda bipwilo bivule bidi na muntu mwana-mulume nansha mwana-mukaji wibyendeja. Inoko, twikalanga twibasapwila na nsangaji amba Mwendeji wetu ke muntupo wa kubulwa kubwaninina. Ino, Mwendeji wetu i Yesu Kidishitu! Ukōkelanga Shandi Yehova bu Mwendeji wandi.
2 Kadi kudi kisumpi kya bana-balume, kitwa bu “umpika mukōkele ne mudyumuke,” kitangidile bantu ba Leza pano pa ntanda dyalelo. (Mateo 24:45) Ino i muswelo’ka otwayuka amba na bubine Yehova ye witwendeja kupityila kudi wandi Mwana? Tusa kubandaula bubinga busatu bubingija uno mwanda. Kadi nansha Yehova byaādi wingidija bantu bamo mwanda wa kwendeja bantu bandi, tusa kumona patōkelela’mba Yehova ye wādi Mwendeji wabo kadi ne dyalelo dine ukidi Mwendeji wa binebine wa bantu bandi.
MUSHIPIDITU UJILA WĒBAPELE BUKOMO
3. I bika byāpele Mosesa bukomo bwa kwendeja Isalela?
3 Mushipiditu ujila wāpele bemaniji ba Leza bukomo. Leza wātongele Mosesa ekale mwendeji wa bene Isalela. Le i Isaya 63:11-14.) Nanshi na bubine Yehova ye wādi wendeja bantu bandi, mwanda mushipiditu wandi o wādi ukwasha Mosesa.bika byāmukweshe abwanye kwingila uno mwingilo wa mvubu mpata? Yehova wāpele Mosesa “mushipiditu wandi ujila.” (Tanga
4. I bika bilombola’mba Mosesa wādi na mushipiditu wa Leza? (Tala kifwatulo ku ngalwilo.)
4 Lelo bantu bāmwene amba Mosesa udi na mushipiditu wa Leza? Bine! Mushipiditu ujila wa Yehova wāpele Mosesa bukomo bwa kulonga bingelengele ne kuyukanya dijina dya Leza kudi Felo, mulopwe mukomo wa bene Edipito. (Divilu 7:1-3) Kadi mushipiditu ujila wākweshe Mosesa ekale bu mwendeji wa buswe ne wa kitūkijetyima. Bine wādi mwishile na bendeji ba mutyima mūmu kadi ba kwisakila ba matanda makwabo! (Divilu 5:2, 6-9) Kibamweka patōka’mba, Yehova ye wātongele Mosesa ekale mwendeji wa bandi bantu.
5. I bāni bakwabo bāpelwe mushipiditu ujila na Yehova mwanda wa kwendeja bandi bantu?
5 I bāni bakwabo bāpelwe mushipiditu ujila na Yehova mwanda wa kwendeja bandi bantu? Bible unena’mba: “Yoshua mwana Nuna mwana-mulume wadi muyule mushipiditu wa ñeni.” (Kupituluka 34:9) “Mushipiditu wa Yehova wamutentama Ngideoni.” (Batyibi 6:34) Kadi “mushipiditu wa Yehova watentama byamwiko’tu padi Davida.” (1 Samwele 16:13) Bano bana-balume bonso bādi bakulupile amba mushipiditu wa Leza ukebakwasha balonge kintu kyo-kyonso kyokebabwanyapo kulonga na bukomo bwa abo bene. (Yoshua 11:16, 17; Batyibi 7:7, 22; 1 Samwele 17:37, 50) Bine, Yehova ye wēbapele bukomo bwa kulonga bintu bikatakata, o mwanda nanshi aye ye ufwaninwe kutendelwa.
6. Mwanda waka Yehova wādi usaka bantu bandi balēmeke bendeji ba mu Isalela?
6 Le i bika byādi bifwaninwe kulonga bene Isalela pobāmwene amba Mosesa, Yoshua, Ngideoni ne Davida i bapebwe bukomo na mushipiditu ujila wa Leza? Bādi bafwaninwe kwibalēmeka. Bantu pobādi kebeuningila Mosesa, tala byēbalombwele Yehova: “Lelo i ku mwaka ka o bakaleka kumfutulula?” (Umbadilo 14:2, 11) Na bubine, Yehova ye wātongele bano bana-balume bendeje bantu bandi. Bantu pobādi bebakōkela, na bubine bādi betabija Yehova bu Mwendeji wabo.
BAMWIKEULU BĒBAKWESHE
7. Le bamwikeulu bākweshe Mosesa namani?
7 Bamwikeulu bākweshe bemaniji ba Leza. (Tanga Bahebelu 1:7, 14.) Leza wāludikile Mosesa kupityila ku bamwikeulu. Dibajinji, mwikeulu “wāmumwekēle mu kimuna kya miba” ne kumupa mwingilo wa kunyongolola bene Isalela ne kwibendeja. (Bilongwa 7:35) Dya bubidi, Leza wāingidije mwikeulu mwanda wa kupa Mosesa Bijila bya kufundija bene Isalela. (Ngalatea 3:19) Dya busatu, Yehova wāmusapwidile amba: “Enda, utangije bantu kokwa kuntu ko nakunena; talapo bidi, mwikeulu wami ukakutangidilako ku meso.” (Divilu 32:34) Bible kanenenepo amba bene Isalela bāmwene mwikeulu ulonga bino bintu. Inoko, muswelo wāfundije Mosesa bantu ne kwibendeja, ulombola’mba bamwikeulu bo bāmukweshe.
8. Lelo bamwikeulu bākweshe Yoshua ne Hezekia muswelo’ka?
8 Lelo i bāni bakwabo bākwashibwe na bamwikeulu? Bible unena’mba “mudyavita wa kibumbo kya Yehova,” ko kunena’mba mwikeulu, wākweshe Yoshua anekenye bulwi bwa na bene Kenani. (Yoshua 5:13-15; 6:2, 21) Mwenda mafuku, kitatyi kyādi kyendeja Mulopwe Hezekia bantu ba Leza, kibumbo kikatampe kya basola bene Ashidia kyādi kisaka konakanya Yelusalema. Mu bufuku bumo, “mwikeulu wa Yehova watamba, waipaya kitūlo kya bene Ashidia tununu katwa ne makumi mwanda ne tutano.”
9. Nansha bemaniji ba Leza byobādi bampikwa kubwaninina, le i bika byādi binenwe kulonga bene Isalela?
9 Bamwikeulu i babwaninine. Inoko, bantu bobādi bakwasha kebādipo babwaninine. Kimfwa, difuku dimo Mosesa kātumbijepo Yehova. (Umbadilo 20:12) Yoshua kāipangwilepo bidi Yehova bya kulonga pāile bene Ngibeone kusamba nabo kipwano. (Yoshua 9:14, 15) Kitatyi kimo, Hezekia wētatwile. (2 Bilongwa 32:25, 26) Nansha bano bantu byobādi ba kubulwa kubwaninina, bene Isalela bādi banenwe kulonda bwendeji bwabo. Bene Isalela bāmwene amba Yehova wingidijanga bamwikeulu mwanda wa kukwatakanya bano bana-balume. Bine, Yehova ye wādi wendeja bantu bandi.
KINENWA KYA LEZA KYĒBALUDIKILE
10. Lelo Mosesa wāludikilwe na Bijila muswelo’ka?
10 Kinenwa kya Leza kyāludikile bemaniji bandi. Bible utelanga kyaba kimo Bijila byāpelwe bene Isalela bu “mukanda wabijila wa Mosesa.” (1 Balopwe 2:3) Inoko Bible ulombola patōka amba Yehova ye wāpele bene Isalela Bijila. Mosesa nandi wādi unenwe kwibikōkela. (2 Bilongwa 34:14) Kimfwa, Yehova pa kupwa kumulombola mwa kubākila tabenakulo, “Enka namino e mwalongele Mosesa; monka mwendele byonso byamusoñaninye Yehova, e mwālongele.”
11, 12. (a) Lelo Yoshua ne balopwe bāludikile bantu ba Leza bādi banenwe kulonga bika? (b) Lelo Kinenwa kya Leza kyāludikile namani bana-balume bādi bendeja?
11 Yoshua wādi na kipindi kya Kinenwa kya Leza pawāikele bu mwendeji, kadi Yehova wāmusapwidile amba: “Ukafwatakanyanga’mo dyuba ne bufuku bwine, amba utentekele kulonga mwendele byonso bilembelwemo.” (Yoshua 1:8) Mwenda mafuku, balopwe bādi baludika bantu ba Leza nabo bādi bafwaninwe kutanga Bijila difuku ne difuku, kwibitentula ne kukōkela “ne kulama myanda yonso ya uno mukanda-wabijila ne bino bitungo bino’bi kwibilonga.”
12 Lelo Kinenwa kya Leza kyāludikile namani bana-balume bādi bendeja? Tala bidi kimfwa kya Mulopwe Yoshia. Pa kutana Bijila bya Mosesa, mulembi wa Yoshia wāshilula kumutangila’byo. * (Tala kunshi kwa dyani.) “Ino pano namino kyapita nabya, mulopwe pa kwivwana myanda ya mukanda wabijila’wa; penepo wasana bivwalwa byandi.” Kinenwa kya Leza kyākankamikile Yoshia onakanye bilezaleza bya mu ntanda yonso ne kuteakanya masobo makatampe a Pashika kutabuka makwabo. (2 Balopwe 22:11; 23:1-23) Yoshia ne bendeji bakwabo ba kikōkeji byobādi balonda Kinenwa kya Leza, o mwanda bādi bajadika bulombodi bobādi bapa bantu ba Leza. Kuno kushinta kwākweshe bantu ba Leza bebakōkele.
13. Lelo bendeji ba bantu ba Leza bādi beshile namani na bendeji ba mizo mikwabo?

(Levi 18:6, 21-25) Kadi, bendeji bene Babiloni ne bene Edipito kebādipo na mbila itala butōki yādi nayo bantu ba Leza. (Umbadilo 19:13) Inoko, bantu ba Leza bādi bamona bendeji ba kikōkeji bebakankamika kulama butōtyi bwabo butōka, butōki bwa ku ngitu ne kwijiba ku kusambakena pamo kwa disubi. Kibamweka patōka amba, Yehova wādi wibendeja.

Bano balopwe bampikwa kikōkeji bāpelele kulonda buludiki bwa mushipiditu ujila wa Leza, bwa bamwikeulu bandi, ne bwa Kinenwa kyandi. Mu bitatyi bimo, Yehova wādi udingila nansha kupingakanya bano bendeji na bakwabo. (1 Samwele 13:13, 14) Mwenda mafuku, Yehova wātonga muntu umo wa kwikala bu mwendeji mubwaninine.
YEHOVA WATONGE MWENDEJI MUBWANININE
15. (a) Le bapolofeto bālaile namani amba kukayānga mwendeji mubwaninine? (b) Lelo mwendeji mubwaninine i ani?

Kimfwa, Mosesa wāsapwidile bene Isalela’mba: “Yehova Leza obe ukakutalwila mupolofeto wa umbukata mobe, wa bāna benu, bwa ami, ino mukamutejanga.” (Kupituluka 18:15) Isaya wānenene amba Uno’u wadi wa kwikala bu “kilongoji ne wakusomanya bantu’ba.” (Isaya 55:4) Kadi Danyele wālembele myanda itala Meshiasa, mwine wadi wa kwikala bu ‘Mfumu.’ (Danyele 9:25) Mfulo mfulō, Yesu Kidishitu wēyukenye bu “Mutangidiji” wa bantu ba Leza. (Tanga Mateo 23:10.) Bana ba bwanga ba Yesu bādi bamulonda na mutyima tō, kadi bādi bakulupile amba i mutongwe wa Yehova. (Yoano 6:68, 69) Lelo i kika kyēbakulupije amba Yesu Kidishitu ye utongelwe na Yehova mwanda wa kwendeja bantu bandi?
16. I bika bilombolola’mba Yesu wāpelwe bukomo na mushipiditu ujila?

Yesu pa kubatyijibwa, Yoano wāmwene “madiulu ashituka kadi mushipiditu wamutūkila pamo bwa nkunda.” Kino’tu pa kupita’kyo, “mushipiditu wamutonwena kwenda mu ntanda mutuputupu.” (Mako 1:10-12) Mu bula bwa mwingilo wa Yesu pano pa ntanda, mushipiditu ujila wa Leza wāmupele bukomo bwa kufundija ne kulonga bingelengele. (Bilongwa 10:38) Kadi, mushipiditu ujila wākweshe Yesu amwekeje ngikadila pamo bwa buswe, nsangaji ne lwitabijo lukomo. (Yoano 15:9; Bahebelu 12:2) I kutupu mwendeji mukwabo wādi na bubinga pamo bwa buno bulombola’mba udi na mushipiditu ujila wa Leza. Na bubine, Yehova i mutonge Yesu bu Mwendeji.
17. I bika byālongele bamwikeulu pa kukwasha Yesu?
17 Bamwikeulu bākweshe Yesu. Kinondanonda’tu Yesu upwa kubatyijibwa, “bamwikeulu baiya bashilula kumwingidila.” (Mateo 4:11) Mansá abala-anga kumeso kwa kufwa, “mwikeulu wa mūlu wamumwekela kamukomeja.” (Luka 22:43) Yesu wādi uyukile amba Yehova ukatuma bamwikeulu bamukwashe ponso pasakilwa bukwashi.
18, 19. Lelo Kinenwa kya Leza kyāludikile namani būmi bwa Yesu ne bufundiji bwandi?
18 Kinenwa kya Leza kyāludikile Yesu. Tamba ku ngalwilo kwa mwingilo wandi kutūla ne ku lufu lwandi lwa ku mutyi wa masusu, Yesu wādi uleka Bisonekwa bimuludike. Nansha paādi kasake kufwa, wāpitulukile mu bupolofeto butala Meshiasa. (Mateo 4:4; 27:46; Luka 23:46) Inoko, bendeji ba bipwilo ba mu kine kitatyi’kya, bādi beshile bininge na Yesu. Bādi bafutulula Kinenwa kya Leza ponso pokekyādipo kikwatañana na bufundiji bwabo. Yesu wātelele Kinenwa kya Leza paādi wisambila pobadi amba: “Bano bantu bandēmekanga na milomo yabo bitupu, ino mutyima wabo udi kulampe nami. I bya bitupu byobantōtanga, mwanda bafundijanga bijila bya bantu amba yo mfundijo.” (Mateo 15:7-9) Yehova kātongelepo nansha dimo bantu bādi bapela kulonda Kinenwa kyandi bendeje bantu bandi.
19 Kadi Yesu wādi wingidija Kinenwa kya Leza paādi ufundija bakwabo. Bendeji ba bipwilo pobādi bamukolomona, kāingidijepo tunangu twa aye mwine nansha bwino bwandi pa kwibalondolola. Ino, wādi ufundija bantu myanda ya mu Bisonekwa. (Mateo 22:33-40) Kadi, Yesu wādi ubwanya kutulumuna bantu na mānga mivule ya būmi bwandi mūlu nansha ya bupangi bwa diulu ne ntanda. Ino, byaādi usenswe Kinenwa kya Leza, o mwanda wādi usapwila’kyo bakwabo, na kwibapūtula “ñeni yabo ne pa mfulo ya kwivwanija buluji bwa Bisonekwa.”
20. (a) Lelo Yesu wātumbije namani Yehova? (b) Le Yesu wādi mwishile namani na Heloda Akidipa I?
20 Nansha bevwaniki ba Yesu byobādi batendela muswelo waādi wisamba, inoko aye wādi utumbija nyeke Mufundiji wandi, Yehova. (Luka 4:22) Mwana-mulume umo mpeta pa kumwita bu “Mufundiji Muyampe,” Yesu wāmulondolola na kwityepeja’mba: “Kyoungityila bu muyampe i kika le? I kutupu muyampe poso umo kete: Leza.” (Mako 10:17, 18) Inoko, kintu kya myaka mwānda pa kupita’po, Heloda Akidipa I wāikala bu mwendeji wa Yudea. Wādi na mwikadilo mwishile na wa Yesu. Difuku dimo, ku mīsambo ya pa bula, Heloda wāvwala bisandi bya bulopwe bitulumuja kadi bya bei. Ebiya bantu pa kumumona ne kumwivwana, kebela mabila’mba: “Dino i diwi dya leza, ke dya muntupo!” Heloda wādi usenswe ntumbo. Penepa, i bika byāmufikile? “Ponkapo mwikeulu wa Yehova wamukupila, mwanda katumbijepo Leza; wadibwa na byolo wafwididila.” (Bilongwa 12:21-23) Kibamweka patōka’mba, Yehova kātongelepo Heloda ekale bu mwendeji. Inoko, Yesu wēlombwele amba i mutongwe na Leza, wādi utumbija nyeke Yehova bu Mwendeji Mwine Mukatakata wa bandi bantu.
21. I bika byotukabandaula mu kishinte kilonda’ko?
21 Yehova wādi usaka Yesu ekale Mwendeji mu bula bwa myaka mivule. Pa kupwa kusanguka, Yesu wāsapwidile bandi bana ba bwanga’mba: “Lupusa lonso napebwa’lo mūlu ne pano panshi pene.” Wābweja’ko amba: “Kadi talaipo! Ami ngidi nenu mafuku onso kufika ne ku mvuyo ya ino ngikadilo ya bintu.” (Mateo 28:18-20) Ino le Yesu ubwanya namani kwendeja bantu ba Leza pano panshi aye papo mūlu kumweka mpika? Lelo i ani wingidijibwa na Yehova mwanda wa kwimanina Yesu pano pa ntanda? Ne i muswelo’ka ubwenye bene Kidishitu kujingulula bemaniji ba Leza? Kishinte kilonda’ko kikalondolola bino bipangujo.

Uzye nkatalika ukupa wanji imilandu pa viluwo vyane?’ Nga twazana ukuti avyo tukacita, tuzipizile ukupiluka mwe vino tukakwelenganya na vino tukacita. Amuno nga tutakupiluka wuciwuza witu ne Yehova wungasila.—Jemu. 4:6.

Amuno pitanji.” Liliwatusoka nga twati twafuma munzila. (Ayize. 30:21) Nga tukwiwila e Yehova ivintu viliwatuzipila.

Katulanjilile: Yelenganyani ukuti mukulonda ukulamba umusewo muno mukapita sana wa motoka. Pano mwatalika vye ukulamba, e foni yalila nga mwawika amano kwe foni.

11. Acani cino cingalenga wumwi ukukanakonka ukusunda kwe ciwuza wakwe?

Lelo umutumwa Paulo watili: “Amuno ndi umuntu wumwi akuyitumvya, akuyicita uwuntu na pano awavye atela akuyiwipa vye.” (Gal. 6:3) Imfumu Solomoni yeni yalondolozile icete sana ya-a amazwi. Yalenvile ukuti: ‘Umwana umupina uwa mano wazipa walusya imfumu inkote yino yisipandwa amano.’—Ekawi. 4:13.

Pano mutani muye kwe ciwuza winu muzipizile ukuyiwuzya ukuti, ‘Uzye ‘nkuilungamika sana’?’ (Ekawi. 7:16) Umuntu wino akailungamika akapingula wanji ukulingana na vino umweneco akulola, asipingula ukulingana na vino Yehova akalola. Swinya weni asiwa nu luse pano akupingula wanji. Nga mwalola ukuti cayana ukulanda ne ciwuza winu cingazipa ukumanya pano pawezile intazi.

(Imilu. 3:5; Mat. 12:20) Amulandu ci wuno tuzipizile ukucitila wo-o? Amuno vino tukucita kwe wanji avino Yehova alicita kwe sweswe.—Jemu. 2:13.
MUWAKONKA VINO IWUNGWE LYA KWE LEZA LIKUMINENA

14 E Yehova akawonvya iwungwe lyakwe ilya mu nsi pa kutwavwa ukutwalilila ukupita mwe yo-o nzila yino yaya ku wumi. Lyo-o iwungwe likatupekanizizya amavidyo, amabuuku nu kulongana vino vikatwavwa ukwivwicisya ivya mu Baibolo.

Swinya nga wapingula pe vimwi wakakwiza mu kupitulukamo pa kuti walole nga ca kuti kuli mumwi muno wangapilulako. Cino wakacitila wo-o, amulandu wa kuti ‘ivintu mu nsi vikuya vikupiluka.’ Nomba pa kuti wapitile ponga ukulingana na vino ivintu vili mu nsi nawonye wazipizile ukupiluka.—1 Kor. 7:31.

Nga ca kuti mukakwikala ku cifulo cino wakazya ivikulwa vya kupepelamo, manda yamwi cingamiwomela ukukonka ko-o ukupiluka. Amuno pamwi mukaya mu kulonganila ukutali. Wanji nawo wano wawombesizye ukuzenga nanti ukuzifya vyo-o ivikulwa, wangatalika ukulola ngati wononile vye amaka yawo ni mpindi yawo. Lelo asa mulandu na vyonsinye vyo-o, mwapocelela ko-o ukupiluka. Ala tukamisalifya nkaninye!
16. Uzye iwaliko lya Wakolose 3:23, 24 lingatwavwa wuli ukutwalilila ukusecelela pano tukuwombela e Yehova?

Tungasambililako isambililo ilicindame ku mazwi yano Imfumu David yalanzile pano yasangulanga umusangulo wa kuzenjela itempile. Yatili: “Ukuwa nga nene neweni, na wantu wanenye nga awaweni, ukuti tusuke tufime ni myezo wonye wo-o? Amuno ivintu vyonsi vyafuma kwe wewe, acaleka ivyakonyene avino twakupa.” (1 Imila. 29:14) Nasweswenye nga tukusangulako lyo tukunyosezya e Yehova vino watupa kali. Twakunda sana akumanya ukuti nga tukuwonvya impindi yitu, amaka yitu, ni vyuuma vitu ku kutunjilila umulimo wa wufumu tukalenga e Yehova ukusecelela nkaninye.—2 Kor. 9:7.
TWALILILANI UKUPITA MU NZILA IMFYENENKANE

Inkondo iitola ciindi cilamfu loko akataa Bulelo bwa Luyando a bulelo bwa cinyonyoono, yakayubununa zibeela zyobile zyamilazyo. Yahuwah wakalwisya makanze Aakwe kuti alwanine miya yabantu kwiinda mumilawo ya luyando, kwiinda mu kuloma, mu kulekelela abululami. Saatani wakabelesya milazyo yakwe yakusinikizya, kucita lunya akucengelela kutegwa asolwede makamu aabantu kuyoonyonyoonwa. Ziindi zimwi, kwakali kulibonya aanga eeyi nkondo tiiyelene kumabazu obile aayo nkaambo Yahuwah ukonzya buyo kubelesya zintu eezyo zyeendelana a Luyando Lwakwe.
Kumamanino, nokuba boobo, Yahuwah nguuzunda nkaambo LUYANDO ncecintu ciinda kubaa nguzu atalaa zyoonse. Luyando lusinsimuna luyandonyina. Muntu umwi ulatalika kubaa luyando nkaambo ulayandwa alakwe. Ngaaya maseseke aanguzu ziteeli zya Luyando. Luyando lulakonzya kusandula muntu – kusinikizya takukonzyi kusandula muntu pe. Nokuba moyo muyumu nta mbuli bbwe ulakonzya kubomba kuluzyalo lwaluyando, kakuli kusinikizya kwiindilizya buyo kuyumya moyo.
Kusinikizya kukonzya buyo kusinikizya mubili wamuntu, pele takukonzyi kusandula mizeezo yakwe. “Muntu uutobela cintu katayandide lwakwe, ucili muntu uucilaa mizeezo yakwe.”1 Lulikke Luyando ndolulaa nguzu zyakusandula lusyomo ambwalimvwide muntu, akusandula basinkondonyina kuti babe balongwenyina.
Bupati bwa luyando lwamuntu bulipanduludwe mu Mangwalo kuti: “Kunyina luyando lwiinda kukomena ndwajisi muntu mbuli loolu, kuti muntu alazyikile balongwenyina buumi bwakwe ansi.” (Johane 15:13, KJV)
Kutondezya Luyando lwa bulemu bwakujulu, eelyo Yahuwah naakasungula Mwanaakwe, kwakayubununa Luyando lwiinda atalaa luyando loonse: Yahuwah wakasungula buumi bwa Mwanaakwe alikke kutegwa avwune buumi bwa basinkondonyina!
“Obuya Yahuwah mbwaakiiyandisya nyika cakuti Walo wakiipa” . . .zyoonse kufumbwa ncaakajisi. Yahuwah wakayubununa bulamfu bwa luyando butanabwenwe. Walo wakayubununa luyando lukonzya kulekelela cibi akuvwuna babisyi. Walo wakiiyandisya nyika cakuti “ wakiipa Mwanaakwe simuzyalwaalikke kutegwa kufumbwa uusyoma muli Nguwe atakafwidilili pele akabaa buumi butamani. (Johane 3:16)
Mangwalo apa kaambo keni Yahuwah ncaakali kuyandisya kusungula Mwanaakwe: “Yahuwah taakatumizya Mwanaakwe munyika kuti azyoosinganye nyika pe, pele kutegwa kwiinda muli Nguwe nyika ikonzye kuvwunwa!” (Johane 3:17)
Eelyo aaka kasimpe nokatontomana kuzeezwa, ndendilyo ooyu musyobo wa Luyando nuutalika kunjila mumizeezo yamuntu akumvwisyigwa, akusandula muntu ooyo. Tacikonzyi kwaalilwa kucitika eeco. Bulumbu bulasinsimuka mumoyo wamuntu eelyo muntu naibaluka kuti Yahuwah wakatumina Mwanaakwe kuzyoovwuna muntu ooyo, kutali kumusinganya!
Kulumba ncibeela cakulimvwa kuyandwa. Zipego zipati zilakonzya kupegwa, pele kuti tiizyabikkilwa maanu akulanganya mbozyibede bwini ncobeni, akutondezya luyando, kunyina pe kulumba kunga kwasinsimunwa nokuba kujosya luyando kunga kwacitika.
Bana balayandisya kwaabila bamwi zintu zyabo. Toyo twabo tusyoonto tulalangila nzila zyakutondezya luyando, nanka mukupa cifwanikiso, nokuba kupa kakata kamaluba.
Muzyukulu wangu musyoonto ali boonse ulayandisya kundipa maluba Ime. Taakwe makani naa aayo maluba aamungunga waji nokuba aasubila pyu. Walo nabona luba, ulayanda kulitema akulipa muntu umwi ngwayandisya. Kuli nguwe, insoke teesyi cintu cikola pe, nokuba ceeco caatula zyoonse zili kumbele lyayo mbuli mbotulanganya nsoke swebo tobapati. Kunze lyaboobo, walo ubona buyo kuti maluba aacisombo aalisanseene alimwi uyanda kutema maluba aayo akupa muntu umwi ngwayanda kutondezya luyando lwakwe.
Ziindi zinjaanji Ime ndavwiila nakonkomona kumulyango, kuti ndibone busyu bwakwe nkwamwetamweta kasiside maanza aakwe kusyule lyakwe. Walo ulasekaseka kasangalede akwaamba kuti, “Ime ndijisi cintu cakukunyandya!” Mpoonya nkuyubununa cipego ciyandisi ca luyando lwakwe.
Aciindi cimwi, Ime ndakamutoleezya neekaunka kumusika. Naakabona maluba mapati aalaa misyobo yiindene, wakacengulukila kuli ndime kazwide kulombelela mumeso aakwe: “Ndakomba, amundipe mali? Ime ndibulide mali! Ndakomba?”
Nkezyi cintu cini eeco cakamupa kuti azuumuke kuyanda mali, Ime ndakayeeya zintu zimwi zyoonse nzyeekali kuyanda kuyobozyela mali. Nokuba boobo, meso aakwe akazwide kulitolaansi akukombelela, kaatondezya kuyandisya ncobeni, eeco cakanduumuzya akucengulula mizeezo yangu kuti ndileke zintu nzyeekali kuyanda akupengela mumoyo.
Ndakamupa mali amwi, kumwi walo kandilaila kuti, “ Ono jala meso, utalangi! Njanda kukunyandisya!”
Mukaindi kasyoonto buyo tutende twakwe twakali kumwantauka akuzyaninina twakandizyibya kuti wapiluka.
“Nkooko! Aaya ngaako! Hena taali mabotu na?”
Ime nsyekalubi luyando lwakali kulibonya mubusyu bwakwe kumwi jwi lyakwe nilyakali kundaambila luyando lwakwe kuli ndime. Ime nsyeekabulide maluba pe, pele walo wakali kuyanda ciindi cakuti anditondezye luyando lwakwe kwiinda mukundipa maluba aayo.
Taata Yahuwah wakujulu wabusongo, wakalizyi zipego zyaluyando zyoonse mumulengalenga kuti inga tiizyanyonena myoyo yabana Bakwe kuli Nguwe, kuti tiibazyibona zipego Zyakwe akulumba nobatambula zipego eezyo. Walo tabulide kumvwa nkotulumba muluyando lwesu pe – pele Walo ulizyi kuti swebo tweelede kutondezya kulumba aluyando.
Saatani wakatamikizyide Yahuwah kuti wakalenga buyo zilengwa leza zyakwe kutegwa kazilumbaizya buyo Nguwe akumubelekela milimo yakumutembaulwa. Cintu cuusisya ncakuti, bantu banjaanji basyoma ncobeni kubeja kuli boobu. Eeci ncintu ciimpya kasimpe ncobeni. Kufumbwa buyo luyando noluzyibwa amuntu, ooko kulumba nkwalimvwa kupa kuti ajokezye luyando.
Muzyali ulaa busongo, ulayanda kuti bana bakwe kabaamba kuti, “Ndalumba.” Kufumbwa coonse ncaapegwa mwana, weelede kuzyiba akutondezya kulumba kwakwe mujwi lyakwe. Meenda aakunywa azipego zipombaidwe kabotu-kabotu zyoonse zyilayandika kwaambwa kuti “Ndalumba.” Eeci ciyanza cakutondezya kulumba ciyaka luyando akulumba mumizeezo yamwana.
Kuzwa akuzyalwa, mpoonyaawo muzyali ulatalika kuyanda mwanaakwe, pele mwana kunyina nalimvwa kuti uyanda muzyali wakwe. Kanjaanji mumilumbe kuli makani aabana batukila akutundulula bazyali babo bacembeede. Nokuba kuti kuli twaambo tunjaanji twakaletelezya makani aali boobo, ncintu comwe buyo cipa kuti bana batalike kunyansya bazyali babo. Kulumba takukonzyi kuyiisyigwa mwana musyoonto kwiinda mumukonzyanyo. Kweelede kuyandika kuba ciyanza muciimo ca mwana ooyo.
Nkakakali kaambo aako Yahuwah ncaakali kuyandila ziindi zibotu zyakuti bantu Bakwe bazyibe akulitondezya kulumba kuli Nguwe nkaambo kazileleko eezyo nzyaakabacitila. Taata ulizyi kale eeco cili mumoyo amumizeezo yamuntu uuli woonse. Walo ulimuzyi muntu omwe omwe cigaminina mbuli kuti kunyina muntu uumbi uuli munyika kunze lyayooyo. Walo ulizyi mizeezo yesu ambotulimvwa. Walo tayandi kuti swebo katupailila buyo nkaambo Kakwe. Mupailo nceciindi cesu cakuti twaanguluke kusumpula mizeezo yesu kuti katuyeeya mbuli Nguwe, akunjila mumizeezo Yakwe.
Mupailo utupa ciindi cakuleka kubinda kujata maanka abuzuba, kuti tutontomane kuyeeya zipego nzitwaatambula, kulilekelela nzitwaalubizya, akulimvwa kulekelelwa. Kulumba ooko nkotumvwa eelyo notulumba zileleko, kuletelezya luyando akusyoma mumoyo wamuntu – alimwi eeci nceciyandika.
Mbweenya buyo, “Nsabata yakabambilwa muntu, alimwi kutali muntu kubambilwa Nsabata.” (Maako 2:27) Yahuwah wakalizyi kuti, ikuti kakwiina buzuba bomwe bwakulyookezya akukomba, muntu mulyato, syaacivwulemwangu inga kanoobeleka lyoonse kuyandisya buyo mpindu akusweekelwa buumi buteeli. Kulailila kuti kujika kucitwe mubuzuba bwakulibambila, cakaangulula bamakaintu kuti baleke kupika mililo aanga mbazike bajikila mikwasyi yabo pobwe. Kulailila kuti kubule mulimo uucitwa, cakapa kuti mukwasyi woonse, antoomwe abatumwa abanyama kuti babaa ciindi cakulyookezya akukatulukwa.
Ciibalusyo ca mucado naa buzuba bwa lukwato inga caba ciindi cakwiibaluka ciindi eeco cibotu ciyandwa akulisungwida mazuba aacizya kumbele. Nsabata nziibalusyo zya Malengelo aanyika. Kulekezya milimo akulyookezya mu Nsabata nciibalusyo cazisyomyo zya Mulengi nzyaakabamba kumatalikilo kwini – kuleleka ndiswe akutubamba, akutwaabila zyoonse nzyotuyanda kuti tupone akukkomana.
Mazuba mataanzi aa Myezi Mipya, aalo nziindi zyakusekelela. Zileleko eezyo zyakatambulwa mumwezi wakainda zilaibalukwa akulumbwa, eeco ncecikulwaizya kuzumanana kulyaaba alimwi mumwezi uutobela. Mapobwe aaciindi comwe amwaka aalo akali kuyandika, akali ziindi zyakwiinduluka kulyaaba akubambululwa, alimwi kapati, kupa kulumba.
Akataa mapobwe aaciindi comwe amwaka, Pobwe lya Mavwuka lyakabambilwa kupa kulumba. Lyakali mvwiki yoonse yakulumbaizya akusekelela pobwe! Butebuzi bwamwaka ooyo bwakali tebudwe kale akubikkwa mumatala alimwi cakali ciindi cakutontomana kuyeeya zipego zinjaanji eezyo Taata muciindi cakainda nzyaakapede bantu bakwe. Izuba libala, imvwula iikomezya zisyango; kukwabililwa kuzwa kuzyilijazyo abasinkondonyina babuumi bubotu kumikwasyi yabo – zyoonse zyakasinsimuna moyo uuzwide kulumba zileleko zizwa Kujulu.
Eelyo bana ba Isilayeli nobakakoma munzi wa Canaani, bakakoma nyika yakakkedwe kale bantu bamwi. Basinkondonyina bakabingwa kumbele lyabo, mpoonya bakalijanina maanda aazwide kale zintu zyeebeka, myuunda ambewu zilaa masaansa, myuunda iizwide micelo, meenda aakunka acintu cibotu cili coonse ciyandika mubuumi bwakukkala kabotu. Yahuwah wakalizyi, nokuba boobo, kuti moyo wamuntu uuwide mucibi, ulafwamba kuluba zileleko zipati akutalika kuzyuubausya.
Walo wakali kuyanda kuti ayibalusye mizeezo yabo lyoonse kutegwa kabamusyoma kuti ucinoobabambilila. Walo wakalailila kuti bana ba Isilayeli beelede kubungana antoomwe akwaanzika mavwuka aabambidwe amitabi amasanzu aamasamu. Bakeelede kucita eeco amwaka muciindi ca Powe lya Mavwuka akusekelela buvwubi abwaabi bwa Kujulu. Bakeelede kwiibaluka lyoonse kuti Taata wakujulu nguwaabavwuna mbuli cisi comwe kuzwa mubuzike ku Ijipita.
Kulumbila lwaanguluko lwa cisi azileleko zyaabuzuba, eeco inga cazumanana kupa kuti luyando akusyoma kakucili mumyoyo yabo. Eeci inga caba cikwabilizyo kumasunko aa Saatani kuti waboongelezya kunjila mumituni. Saatani wakalizyi kuti, ikuti wazyola bana ba Isilayeli kuleka kutobela Yahuwah akukomba baleza bamituni, nkabela julu tiilyakacili kukonzya kubakwabilila kuti batazundwi abasinkondonyina bakali mumbali lyabo.
Cintu cikondelezya ncakuti eelyo pobwe litaanzi bana ba Isilayeli ndibakaleka kusekelela lyakali lya kupa kulumba mu Pobwe lya Mavwuka. Kukomba kwamasimpe kwakaide kuba kupaila kwabuyo. Kwakaba bupaizi bwa zilengwa zyabantu alufutuko lwamilimo yamaanza aabantu. Mpoonya kukomba mituni kwakafwamba kutobela kuzwa waawo. Ooku kusofwaala mumoza kweelede kutondezya ncokuyandikila kubamba mapobwe woonse ookwa Yahuwah amoyo uusyomeka akulumba.
Yahuwah taakabulide kulumbaizyigwa abana ba Isilayeli mbweenya mbwatabulide kulumbaizya kwako. Nokuba boobo, Walo ulizyi kuti, mbweenya mbuli bana ba Isilayeli, yebo uyandika kubaa ciindi cakwiibaluka zileleko Walo nzyaakakupa, akutondezya kulumba kuzipego Zyakwe akulekela moyo wako kuti utikaike luyando kwiingula Nguwe.
Eelyo muntu umwi nayandwa akutambulwa aluyando lutakwe magolelo, luyando lutafwi, kufumbwa cintu akataa zyeezyo zimusinkila zyoonse zyiladilimuka. Moyo tuukonzyi kulilesya kwiingula Luyando lusinsimuna luyandonyina!
Bwiinguzi bwa moyo uulimvwa kuyandwa, nkutondezya luyando kwiinda mumicito. Ooyo muntu wakamvwa Luyando lwabulemu bwakujulu aciindi cimwi, ulangila kutondezya luyando oolo alakwe. Citalika kuba cintu cili muciimo cakwe munyika yoonse kuteelela Taata. Moyo ooyo wakazangide aciindi cimwi, lino ulabombekwa aluyando, akujana kukkomana mukubamba mulawo wabulemu wa Luyando.
Yahushua wakabikka musunko wakutondezya kuti naa muntu ulamuyanda ncobeni Walo: “Kuti yebo kondiyanda Ime, yebo weelede kubamba milawo Yangu.”2 Kuteelela milawo yoonse yokwa Yahuwah ncecintu cicitika kumoyo wamuntu ooyo uuzwide luyando lwa Uupa mulawo.
Ooku takuli kuyandisya tulawolawo pe. Saatani ulafwamba kucinca tulawolawo lyoonse kufumbwa muntu natalika kutobela mulawo wabulemu bwakujulu. Cintu cuusisya ncakuti, bantu banjaanji batalika kutobela mubukandu kabayoowede cintu cinga catobela waawo – nokuba kusyoma kuti balakonzya “kulijanina nzila yakuya kujulu lwabo beni” kwiinda mumilimo yamaanza aabo akuleka kuteelela. Tacili cintu cikonzyeka lyoonse kufwamba kwaandaanya akataa muntu uuteelela nokuba yooyo “uulilangawida nzila yakuya kujulu” amuntu uuteelela nkaambo ulaa luyando. Kuteelela kulakonzya kulangika munzila iikonzyene mbweenya nokuba kuti kuzyila mumakanze aayimpene.
Nokuba boobo, Yahuwah ulizyi kale zyoonse. “Nkaambo Yahuwah ulabona kwiinda mbuli muntu mbwabona; nkaambo muntu ulanga ciwa caatala, pele Yahuwah ulanga mumoyo wamuntu.”3 Kuti kuteelela kwa muntu kakucitilwa buyo kutegwa muntu “akanjile” kujulu, ooyo muntu uyoosweeka.
Yahushua wakapandulula kuti:
Tabali boonse bandiita kuti 'Yahushua , Yahushua' bayoonjila mubwami bwakujulu pe, ccita buyo ooyo uucita nzyayanda Taata uuli kujulu.
Mubuzuba oobo banji-banji bayoondaambila kuti 'Yahushua, O Mwami wangu Yahushua, sena tiitwaakakambauka muzina lyako, kugwisya myuuya mibi, akucita milimo yanguzu minji?' Lino ndiyoobaambila kuti, 'Nsimwizi pe! Amuzwe nywebo nobasizibi. (Bala Mateyo 7:21-23.)
Ncintu cikonzyeka kwiinda mukulimvwa kuli buti koonse, akubamba milawo yoonse pele kuyoosweeka kumamanino. Cintu ciimpene ncintu ciletelezya micito ya muntu. Hena milawo Yakwe ilabambwa nkaambo kaluyando? Naa abambilwa kuyandisya “kunjila” kujulu?
Yahushua waamba kuti aabo bakacita “milimo mibotu yoonse eeyi” tabali baabo balangilwa kuyoonjila kujulu nkaambo kakaambo komwe buyo: Walo tabazyi. Ijwi lyakuti “kuzyiba” mu mangwalo lyaambilizya cintu cilemu kwiinda mbolyaamba mu Cikuwa camazubaano . “Adamu wakamuzyiba Eva mukaintu wakwe; mpoonya wakamita, akuzyala Kkaini . . .” (Matalikilo 4:1, KJV) Oolu nduzyibo lwiinda kuzyiba mumutwe buyo. Ooku nkuzyiba kumaninide ncobeni, mbuli muntu mbwazyibene amuyandwa wakwe.
Nkaambo kuzyiba Yahuwah nkuyanda Nguwe, kuteelela nkwiingula kwamoyo ooyo ulaa luyando. Aboobo, ulikke mulimo wakuteelela muluyando nguutambulika.
Cimwi cintu cigambya ncakuti, eelyo luyando noluletelezya kuteelela, ayalo “milimo yamulawo tiilanganyigwi kuti milimo yakubeleka pe. Luyando talubikkilili, nokuba kulangila cintu cimwi cakuvwola nkaambo kamulimo wakacitwa. Yahushua wakatondezya ciiyo eeci eelyo Walo naakapa ciiyo camamanino aanyika:
Eelyo Mwanaa Muntu nayooboola mubulemu Bwakwe, alimwi bangele Bakwe kabalaa Nguwe, mpoonya uyookkala acuuno cabulemu Bwakwe. Masi woonse ayoobungana munsi Lyakwe, alimwi Walo uyookwaandaanya bamwi kuzwa kuli bamwi, mbweenya mbuli mweembezi mbwazandula mbelele kuzwa kumpongo. Alimwi Walo uyoobikka mbelele kujanza Lyakwe lyalulyo, pele uyoobikka mpongo kulumwesyi.
Mpoonya Mwami uyooti kuli baabo bali kujanza Lyakwe lyalulyo, ‘ Kamuboola nywebo nomulelekedwe a Taata Wangu, mukone bulelo oobo mbumwaabambilwa kuzwa kumalengelo aanyika: nkaambo Ime ndakalaa nzala mpoonya nywebo mwakandipa cakulya Mebo; Ime ndakalaa nyota mpoonya inywe mwakandipa cakunywa; Ime ndakali mweenzu alimwi inywe mwakanditambula; Ime ndakalaa mantanda alimwi inywe mwakandisamika; Ime ndakalicisidwe mpoonya inywe mwakandiswaya; Ime ndakali muntolongo mpoonya inywe mwakaboola kuli Ndime.’
Mpoonya baluleme bayoomwiingula Walo kabaamba kuti, ‘ . . . [Yahushua], ndilili swebo nitwaakubona Yebo kofwide nzala akukusanina, naa kofwide nyota akukupa cakunywa Yebo? Ndilili swebo nitwaakubona koli mweenzu akukutambula, nokuba koli aamantanda akukusamika Yebo? Naa ndilili swebo nitwaakubona Yebo kociswa nokuba koli muntolongo, akuboola kuzyooswaya Nduwe?’
Mpoonya Mwami uyoobavwiila akubaambila kuti, ‘Ncobeni, Ime ndimwaambila masimpe, kufumbwa eelyo nimwakali kucitila baaba akataa basazima, inywe mwakali kucitila Ndime.’ (Mateyo 25:31-40, NKJV)
Kuzyiba Taata a Mwana cakumaninina, akuzyibwa aambabo, ncintu ciyandika kubaa ciindi cakukkala ansi ambabo. Kuti webo kotakwe cilongwe abaabo mboyandana limwi, kobikka ambali ciindi cakubambilila cilongwe eeco, mbweenya mbuli cilongwe cili coonse. Kobala jwi Lyabo; kosoma nzila nzyobakutondezya luyando muzilengwa leza.
Kuti kolimvwide kuba kulaale mumoyo wako akuti ulimvwide aanga tomuyandi Taata Amwana amoyo wako woonse, eeci cilakonzya kucincigwa. Koibaluka zileleko zinjaanji eezyo zili mubuumi bwako, anzila zinjaanji zimwi nzyobakutondezya luyando lwabo. Hena kuli ziindi mubuumi bwako yebo nookakwabilidwe ncobeni? Hena ulaibaluka ziindi zimwi nookatambwide bulumbu mbootakali kulangila? Kotontomana kuyeeya zintu eezi akuzyibikka mumizeezo yako.
Kolangisya tuntu tusyoonto tunjaanji ooto tukuboolela munzila yako abuzuba. Kolekela moyo wako kuti ulungumane ku Mulengi wako mumipailo yako. Eelyo notaluuka ntaamu kuzwa amunzi wako, kolumba Nguwe nkaambo kakusangalala anze . . . nokuba kumulumbila ciyusilo eeco cikukwabilila niiwa mvwula. Eelyo nopetaika milwi ya zikobela zyako, komulumba Walo nkaambo yebo ulakonzya kusamika mukwasyi wako. Eelyo nojisi bubi mumilimo yako abuzuba, komulumba Walo nkaambo kanguzu nzyakupede kuti ucite ceelede kucitwa.
Komulumba Singuzu Uupa-zipego nkaambo kabuumi bwako, buumi bubotu, kasimpe, luyando, balongwenyoko, kufumbwa cikweetela kukkomana, kukkuta akubaa luumuno. Eezyo nzyezintu zilondo zikonzya kukuponya kulendelelwa kwako akubaa buumba akwalo.
Lukondo ndoyoojana kujulu luleelene kweezyekanya a luyando alusyomo ndopa kuli Taata Yahuwah yebo nocili munyika eeyi. Mumisela minjaanji iisikila kuteeli, banunudwe bayoojana kukondwa kapati mukuyanda akuyandwa aa Mulengi wabo. “Bayandwa bokwa . . . [Yahuwah] bayookkala kabatakwe ntenda munsi Lyakwe: alimwi . . . [Yahuwah] uyoobavwumbilila buzuba boonse.” (Ciibalusyo 33:12)
Okuya kujulu, mizeezo yabantu batakonzyi kufwa iyookweebela zintu zikondelezya zyakalengwa, maseseke aaluyando lunununa. Kunyina pe muntu ulaalunya, naba sinkondonyina uukakatila kusunka mbabo kuti balube . . . [Yahuwah]. Cibeela cili coonse camizeezo yabo, ciyoosima akukomena, zyoonse zili mubongo ziyoobeleka mbozyeelede kubeleka kabotu. Kuzyiba zintu zinjaanji tacikabi cintu cibatolwaazya mizeezo yabo nokuba kubakatazya. Kuyooba milimo yeebeka iyoocitwa, zintu zinjaanji ziyookonzya kucitigwa, amizeezo minjaanji iyoomaninina kulibonya; alimwi kucinooli kulaale kuzulila bulemu, kucinooli zinjaanji zitaliboteli zyakweebela, tusimpe tunjaanji twakumvwisisya, zintu zinjaanji zikulwaizya nguzu mumizeezo, mumuya amubili.
. . . Alimwi mumyaka yoonse iiteeli, mbuli myaka mbwiiyaa kwiinda, iyooleta ziyubunuzyo zizwide bubotu abulemu bwa . . . [Taata a Mwana]. Mbuli luzyibo mboluyungizya kuya kumbele lyoonse, mbweenya aluyando, kulemekezya, akukkomana akwalo kuyookwiindila kuyungizya.4
Myaka iteeli yakukkomana iiyungizya kuya kumbele, kukkuta mumoyo, milimo iikondelezya aluyando luteeli, zyoonse eezyo zilindila nduwe nkaambo Yahuwah ngo luyando.
