Truth Mekem “Pipol No Stap Gud Tugeta”
“No tingse mi kam for mekem evriwan long earth stap long peace. Mi kam for mekem pipol no stap gud tugeta.”—MATT. 10:34.
SONG: 125, 135
1, 2. (a) Wanem kaen peace nao iumi savve garem distaem? (b) Why nao iumi no garem yet peace evriwea long earth? (Lukim piksa long start bilong study.)
IUMI evriwan laekem peace, and iumi no laek for wari. Dastawe iumi thankiu long Jehovah from hem givim iumi “peace bilong God” wea savve protectim tingting bilong iumi for no gohed wari and feel nogud. (Phil. 4:6, 7) From iumi dedicate long Jehovah, iumi savve garem peace witim God and ‘fren gud witim hem.’—Rome 5:1.
2 Bat, hem no kasem taem yet for God mekem peace kamap evriwea long earth. Iumi stap long olketa last day, dastawe iumi kasem staka problem wea savve mekem iumi wari. And tu, iumi stap midolwan pipol wea raf tumas. (2 Tim. 3:1-4) Iumi mas faet againstim Satan tu and olketa laea teaching wea hem mekhae long hem. (2 Cor. 10:4, 5) Bat samting wea savve mekem iumi wari tumas nao hem taem olketa relative wea no worshipim Jehovah againstim iumi. Samfala long olketa maet mekfani long wanem iumi bilivim or sei iumi mekem famili for divaed. Maet olketa sei bae iumi no part long famili sapos iumi gohed worshipim Jehovah. So wanem nao stretfala tingting wea iumi shud garem taem famili againstim iumi? And hao nao iumi savve gohed garem peace taem diswan happen?
STRETFALA TINGTING FOR GAREM TAEM FAMILI AGAINSTIM IUMI
3, 4. (a) Hao nao teaching bilong Jesus hem affectim pipol? (b) Wanem nao savve mekem hem no isi for followim Jesus?
3 Jesus savve teaching bilong hem bae mekem pipol divaed and olketa wea followim hem mas no fraet taem olketa narawan againstim olketa. From diswan olketa famili tu bae no savve garem peace. Jesus sei: “No tingse mi kam for mekem evriwan long earth stap long peace. Mi kam for mekem pipol no stap gud tugeta. Mi kam for mekem son hem againstim dadi bilong hem, dota hem againstim mami bilong hem, and dota-in-law hem againstim mami-in-law bilong hem. Tru tumas, bae enemy bilong man nao olketa wea stap long sem haos witim hem.”—Matt. 10:34-36.
4 Jesus laekem pipol for savve long samting wea bae happen sapos olketa kamap disaepol bilong hem, dastawe hem sei: “No tingse mi kam for mekem evriwan long earth stap long peace.” Really goal bilong Jesus hem for teachim truth abaotem God long pipol and no for mekem famili divaed. (John 18:37) Bat olketa disaepol bilong hem need for savve samfala taem hem bae no isi for followim hem, especially taem olketa gudfala fren or eniwan long famili no insaed long truth.
5. Wanem nao olketa disaepol bilong Jesus feisim?
5 Jesus sei wanfala hard samting wea olketa disaepol mas willing for feisim hem wei wea famili againstim olketa. (Matt. 10:38) Olketa disaepol showimaot klia olketa followim Jesus taem olketa no givap nomata famili tok spoelem olketa or maet barava les long olketa. Nomata olketa mas lusim staka samting, bihaen olketa bae kasem staka samting winim wanem olketa lusim.—Readim Mark 10:29, 30.
6. Wanem nao iumi mas tingim sapos olketa relative againstim iumi?
6 Nomata sapos olketa relative againstim iumi bikos iumi worshipim Jehovah, iumi still lovem olketa. Bat iumi mas tingim hao love bilong iumi for God and Christ mas strong winim love wea iumi garem for eniwan. (Matt. 10:37) Iumi mas tingim tu hao Satan savve iusim love wea iumi garem for famili for mekem iumi no faithful long Jehovah. Distaem bae iumi storyim samfala hard samting wea savve kamap and hao iumi savve deal witim datwan.
MARIT PARTNER NO WORSHIPIM JEHOVAH
7. Wanem kaen tingting nao iu shud garem sapos marit partner no worshipim Jehovah?
7 Bible sei olketa wea marit “bae kasem hard taem long laef bilong olketa.” (1 Cor. 7:28) So sapos iu maritim samwan wea no worshipim Jehovah, diswan maet mekem iu stress and wari hem big go moa. Nomata olsem, hem important for garem sem tingting olsem Jehovah abaotem marit. Hem sei iumi no fit for separate or divorcem marit partner from hem no worshipim Jehovah. (1 Cor. 7:12-16) Sapos hasband bilong iu no insaed long truth hem bae no leadim famili for worshipim Jehovah. Nomata olsem, waef mas gohed respectim hem bikos hem hed long famili. And sapos iu wanfala hasband wea waef no worshipim Jehovah, iu need for gohed lovem and lukaftarem hem.—Eph. 5:22, 23, 28, 29.
8. Wanem nao samfala kwestin wea iu savve ting raonem sapos marit partner no letem iu for duim samfala samting?
8 Wanem nao iu savve duim sapos marit partner bilong iu trae for kontrolem samting wea iu duim for worshipim Jehovah? Olsem example, hasband bilong wanfala sista letem hem for go preaching long samfala day nomoa long week. Sapos samting olsem kasem iu, tingim olketa kwestin hia: ‘Waswe, marit partner bilong mi barava no letem mi for worshipim Jehovah? Waswe, samting wea hem askem mi for duim hem fitim nomoa?’ Taem iu garem balance tingting, bae iu no garem staka problem tumas insaed marit.—Phil. 4:5.
9. Hao nao dadi or mami savve teachim pikinini for respectim marit partner wea no worshipim Jehovah?
9 Hem no isi for trainim pikinini taem marit partner no worshipim Jehovah. Olsem example, iu need for teachim pikinini bilong iu for obeyim disfala komand long Bible wea sei: “Respectim dadi and mami bilong iufala.” (Eph. 6:1-3) Bat wanem nao iu shud duim sapos marit partner no followim olketa standard long Bible? Iu savve showimaot gudfala example for pikinini taem iu gohed respectim partner bilong iu. Tingim olketa gudfala wei bilong hem, and storyim hao iu tinghae long olketa gud samting wea hem duim. No talem olketa nogud samting abaotem partner bilong iu taem olketa pikinini stap. Bat iu savve storyim long olketa hao wei for worshipim Jehovah hem samting wea each wan mas chus for duim. From iu teachim olketa pikinini for garem gudfala wei, datwan savve mekem marit partner bilong iu for laek worshipim Jehovah.
10. Hao nao dadi or mami savve teachim pikinini nomata marit partner no worshipim God?
10 Samfala hasband or waef wea no worshipim Jehovah laekem olketa pikinini for join insaed olketa celebration and for olketa pikinini mas lanem olketa false teaching. Samfala hasband laek stopem waef for teachim Bible long olketa pikinini. Nomata olsem, waef bae traem best for teachim truth insaed Bible long olketa pikinini. (Acts 16:1; 2 Tim. 3:14, 15) Olsem example, hasband maet stopem waef for study witim olketa pikinini or for tekem olketa go long olketa meeting. Hem savve respectim disison bilong hasband bilong hem, bat bae hem savve iusim evri chance wea hem garem for teachim olketa pikinini abaotem Jehovah and olketa standard bilong hem long Bible. (Acts 4:19, 20) Bat gogo, olketa pikinini seleva nao mas disaed sapos olketa laek for worshipim Jehovah.—Deut. 30:19, 20. *
OLKETA RELATIVE WEA AGAINSTIM TRUTH
11. Wanem nao maet mekem problem kamap midolwan iu and olketa relative wea no worshipim Jehovah?
11 Taem iumi start studyim Bible witim olketa Witness, maet iumi no laek talem olketa long famili abaotem datwan. Bat taem faith bilong iumi start for grow, iumi luksavve iumi mas talem olketa iumi laek worshipim Jehovah. (Mark 8:38) Taem iu faithful long God, datwan maet mekem problem kamap midolwan iu and olketa insaed famili. Bae iumi storyim samfala samting wea iu savve duim for gohed garem peace and faithful long Jehovah.
12. Wanem nao maet mekem olketa relative againstim iumi, and hao nao iumi savve tingim feeling bilong olketa?
12 Traem best for minim feeling bilong olketa relative wea no insaed truth. Iumi barava hapi bikos iumi savve long truth insaed Bible. Nomata olsem, olketa relative bilong iumi maet tingse Olketa Jehovah’s Witness laea long iumi for joinim religion bilong olketa. Maet olketa tingse iumi no lovem olketa nao bikos iumi no celebratem olketa holiday witim olketa. And tu, maet olketa tingse bae iumi kasem nogud samting bihaen iumi dae. Bat iumi mas traem best for minim feeling bilong olketa. Taem iumi lisin long wanem olketa talem, datwan bae helpem iumi for savve why olketa wari abaotem iumi. (Prov. 20:5) Aposol Paul trae for minim “evri didifren kaen man” mekem hem savve preach and teachim gud nius long olketa. Taem iumi duim olsem, diswan savve helpem iumi teachim truth long olketa relative.—1 Cor. 9:19-23.
13. Hao nao iumi savve story witim olketa relative wea no insaed truth?
13 Tok kaen long olketa. Bible sei: “Toktok bilong iufala mas evritaem kaen.” (Col. 4:6) Maet datwan hem no isi. Bat iumi savve askem holy spirit bilong Jehovah for helpem iumi kaen long olketa relative. Iumi shud trae for no argue witim olketa abaotem biliv bilong olketa. Sapos iumi feel nogud long samting wea olketa talem or duim long iumi, iumi savve followim example bilong olketa aposol. Paul sei: “Taem pipol tok spoelem mifala, mifala askem God for blessim olketa. Taem pipol spoelem mifala, mifala no givap. Taem pipol talem nogud samting abaotem mifala, mifala tok kaen long olketa.”—1 Cor. 4:12, 13.
14. Wanem gud samting nao savve happen taem iumi showimaot gudfala wei?
14 Gohed showimaot gudfala wei. Why nao datwan hem important? Bikos gud samting wea iumi duim savve affectim narawan winim samting wea iumi talem. (Readim 1 Peter 3:1, 2, 16.) Example bilong iu savve helpem olketa relative for luksavve Olketa Jehovah’s Witness garem olketa hapi marit, savve lukaftarem gud olketa pikinini, olketa followim Bible principle, and for garem laef wea hapi and satisfae. Nomata sapos olketa relative no acceptim truth, iumi hapi bikos iumi savve gudfala wei bilong iumi mekem Jehovah hapi.
15. Hao nao iumi savve plan firstaem mekem iumi no argue witim olketa relative?
15 Plan gud firstaem. Ting abaotem olketa samting wea maet mekem wei for argue kamap midolwan iu and olketa relative. Then disaedem hao iu bae deal witim datwan. (Prov. 12:16, 23) Hem nao samting wea wanfala sista long Australia hem duim. Dadi-in-law bilong hem barava againstim truth and samfala taem hem savve kros. So taem hem and hasband redi for ringim hem, tufala savve prea for Jehovah helpem tufala for story kaen long hem. Tufala ting raonem firstaem olketa story wea bae mekem olketa no argue. And for mekem olketa no story longtaem tumas nogud datwan lead go long wei for argue abaotem religion, tufala savve markem nomoa hao long olketa bae story.
16. Taem iu and olketa relative argue, wanem nao savve helpem iu for no feel guilty?
16 Tru nao, samfala taem hem hard for misstim wei for argue witim olketa relative. Taem iufala argue olsem, maet iu feel guilty bikos iu lovem olketa and laek mekem olketa hapi. Bat tingim wei wea iu faithful long Jehovah hem mas winim love bilong iu for famili. Taem iu duim olsem, maet datwan helpem olketa relative for luksavve wei for worshipim Jehovah hem barava important. Iumi no savve forcem eniwan for acceptim truth. Bat iu savve helpem olketa narawan for luksavve wei wea iu followim Jehovah hem barava helpem iu. And Jehovah hem givim chance long olketa tu for worshipim hem.—Isa. 48:17, 18.
TAEM FAMILI MEMBER LUSIM JEHOVAH
17, 18. Wanem nao savve helpem iu taem wanfala famili member lusim Jehovah?
17 Taem wanfala famili member hem disfellowship or disassociate from kongregeson, datwan no isi samting for deal witim. Hem savve mekem iumi feel olsem samwan busarem iumi long wanfala naef. Hao nao iumi savve deal witim datwan?
18 Gohed duim olketa spiritual samting. Taem iu kasem hard taem olsem, iu need for strongim faith bilong iu. Readim Bible evriday, prepare and attendim olketa meeting, gohed duim preaching waka, and prea long Jehovah for strongim iu for no givap. (Jude 20, 21) Waswe sapos iu duim olketa samting hia bat iu still feel nogud? No givap! Gohed duim olketa spiritual samting. Gogo, datwan bae helpem iu for kontrolem tingting and feeling bilong iu. Hem nao samting wea happen long man wea raetem Psalm 73. Hem feisim wanfala hard taem and hem no isi for hem kontrolem tingting and feeling bilong hem. Wei wea hem gohed worshipim Jehovah helpem hem for garem stretfala tingting moa. (Ps. 73:16, 17) Taem iu gohed for faithful, iu savve olsem tu.
19. Hao nao iu savve respectim discipline wea Jehovah givim?
19 Respectim discipline wea Jehovah givim. Nomata discipline wea Jehovah givim hem savve mekem man barava feel nogud firstaem, diswan bae helpem iumi evriwan, and datfala man wea disfellowship tu. (Readim Hebrew 12:11.) Iumi mas respectim komand bilong Jehovah for “no fren” and associate witim olketa wea disfellowship. (1 Cor. 5:11-13) Nomata diswan hem no isi, sapos no eni need kamap, iumi mas stap klia long wei for just story witim olketa long phone, text message, leta, e-mail, or social network.
20. Wanem nao iumi shud gohed hope for hem?
20 Gohed for garem hope. Bible sei love “evritaem garem hope,” dastawe iumi gohed hope olketa wea iumi lovem wea disfellowship bae kam bak long Jehovah. (1 Cor. 13:7) Sapos iu lukim datfala famili member start for changem wei bilong hem, iu savve prea for hem mekem hem kasem strong from Bible and for hem acceptim invitation bilong Jehovah wea sei: “Kam bak long mi.”—Isa. 44:22.
21. Wanem nao iu savve duim sapos famili againstim iu bikos iu followim Jesus?
21 Jesus sei iumi mas lovem hem winim eniwan. And hem barava sure olketa disaepol bilong hem bae no fraet and gohed faithful long hem nomata famili againstim olketa. So sapos famili againstim iu bikos iu followim Jesus, depend long Jehovah and askem hem for helpem iu for no givap. (Isa. 41:10, 13) Iu savve hapi from iu savve Jehovah and Jesus hapi long iu and bae blessim faithful fasin bilong iu.

BILONG HELPIM FAMILI | WOK PAPAMAMA
Helpim Pikinini Taim Senis i Kamap Long Bodi Bilong En
HATWOK BILONG EN
Ating yu inap tingim taim pikinini bilong yu em i bebi yet na yu holim em long han bilong yu. Tasol klostu nau, em bai kamap tineja. Maski em i pikinini yet, senis i kamap long bodi i soim olsem em i wok long kamap bikpela man o meri.
Hau yu inap helpim pikinini taim em i tingting planti na wari long senis i kamap long bodi bilong en?
SAMTING YU MAS SAVE LONG EN
Ol senis i kamap long bodi long taim stret. Senis i kamap long bodi bilong sampela yangpela taim ol i gat 8-pela krismas samting, na ol narapela long taim ol i gat 14 krismas samting. Buk Letting Go With Love and Confidence i tok: “Ol yangpela i gat kain kain krismas taim senis i kamap long bodi bilong ol.”
Taim senis i kamap long bodi, pikinini inap tingting planti na wari. Ol tineja i save tingting planti long ol narapela i gat wanem tingting long ol. Jared * em wanpela yangpela man i tok: “Mi tingting planti long lukluk bilong mi na ol samting mi mekim. Taim mi bung wantaim ol arapela, mi pilim olsem nogut ol i ting ol samting mi mekim i narakain.” Na tu, taim ol yangpela i kisim ol pimpol long pes, ol inap pilim olsem ol i no luk nais. Kellie i gat 17-krismas i tok: “Mi pilim olsem mi no inap mekim wanpela samting long pinisim ol pimpol! Mi save krai na tok mi no luk nais.”
Ol pikinini em senis i kamap hariap long ol i save bungim planti hevi. Moa yet ol gels, olsem long taim susu i kamap o ol i go pat liklik, ol narapela yangpela inap tok pilai long ol. Wanpela buk (A Parent’s Guide to the Teen Years) i tok: “Taim senis i kamap long bodi bilong ol gels, dispela inap mekim na ol mangi i gat 17 o 18 krismas bai laikim ol.”
Taim senis i kamap long bodi bilong pikinini, i no olsem em i bikpela man o meri pinis. Long Sindaun 22:15, Baibel i tok: “Ol pikinini i save mekim olkain longlong pasin.” Maski senis i kamap long bodi bilong pikinini, i no olsem em i gat tingting bilong man i bikpela pinis. Buk You and Your Adolescent i tok, maski yangpela i luk olsem man o meri i bikpela pinis, “i no olsem em inap mekim ol gutpela disisen, mekim gut ol wok, bosim gut bel na tingting, na ol narapela pasin em ol man i bikpela pinis i save mekim.”
SAMTING YU KEN MEKIM
Stori long pikinini paslain long senis i kamap long bodi bilong em. Tokim pikinini gel long ol samting bai kamap taim em i kisim sik mun, o tokim pikinini man olsem sampela taim wara bai kamap long sem bilong em long taim em i slip. Ol senis inap kamap wantu tasol na pikinini bai tingting planti na pret. Taim yupela i stori long ol senis bai kamap long bodi bilong ol, stori gut na no ken mekim ol tok bilong pretim ol. Tokim ol olsem ol dispela senis i redim ol long kamap man na meri i bikpela pinis.—Stiatok bilong Baibel: Song 139:14.
Stori gut long pikinini. John em wanpela yangpela man i tok: “Papamama i no stori gut long ol senis bai painim mi. I gutpela sapos ol i bin tokaut klia long ol samting i save kamap.” Alana i gat 17 krismas i mekim wankain tok. Em i tok: “Mama bilong mi i stori gut long ol senis i kamap long bodi, tasol em bai gutpela moa sapos em i givim ol tok bilong mekim gut bel bilong mi.” Yumi kisim wanem skul long ol dispela stori? Maski i hatwok, stori gut long pikinini long senis bai kamap long bodi bilong en.—Stiatok bilong Baibel: Aposel 20:20.
Givim ol askim i stret na bai pikinini i kamapim tingting bilong en. Bilong pikinini i ken kamapim tingting bilong em, givim em sampela askim. Yu ken askim pikinini gel bilong yu olsem, “Sampela wanklas bilong yu i stori long ol i kisim sik mun?” “Ol arapela pikinini i tok bilas long ol yangpela gels em senis i kamap hariap long bodi bilong ol?” Ating yu ken askim pikinini man olsem: “Ol pikinini i tok bilas long ol wanklas em senis i no kamap hariap long bodi bilong ol?” Taim ol tineja i stori long hau ol arapela yangpela i karim hevi bilong ol dispela senis, em bai isi long ol i kamapim tingting na filings bilong ol. Long kain taim olsem, yu ken bihainim stiatok bilong Baibel olsem: “Olgeta man i mas putim yau kwik long harim tok, na ol i no ken hariap long mekim toktok.”—Jems 1:19.
Helpim tineja long “holim strong gutpela tingting na save.” (Sindaun 3:21) Taim pikinini i kamap tineja, senis i kamap long bodi, tingting na pasin bilong en. Na tu, em bai kisim pasin bilong wokim tingting, na em inap mekim ol gutpela disisen long taim em i kamap bikpela man o meri. Olsem na taim pikinini i tineja yet, em i bikpela samting long papamama i skulim em long ol gutpela pasin.—Stiatok bilong Baibel: Hibru 5:14.
No ken givap. Planti yangpela i no laik toktok wantaim papamama long senis i kamap long bodi bilong ol, tasol no ken ting pikinini i no laik toktok long yu. Buk You and Your Adolescent i tok: “Maski ol tineja i les na i soim olsem ol i no laik harim tok, ating ol i tingim olgeta tok bilong papamama.”

Olsem na taim ol man i laik kotim ol, ol i no inap kotim ol aninit long lo bilong biktaun, nogat. Ol sitisen bilong Rom i gat rait long go long kot bilong Rom. Na sapos ol i kotim ol bilong kilim ol i dai, orait ol i gat rait long apil long empera.
Olsem na Sisero, em wanpela bikman bilong Rom long yia 100 B.C.E. i tok: “Sapos man i sutim tok long wanpela sitisen bilong Rom, o paitim em na kilim em i dai, em i mekim bikpela rong.” Dispela pasin i olsem man i kilim i dai papa na mama o wanblut bilong em.
Aposel Pol i bin autim tok long planti hap em gavman Rom i bosim. Olsem wanpela sitisen bilong Rom em i gat raits. Baibel i stori long 3-pela narapela taim em i yusim raits bilong em: (1) Em i tokaut long ol majistret bilong Filipai olsem ol i kalapim lo bilong Rom taim ol i paitim em. (2) Taim Pol i stap long Jerusalem, em i tokaut olsem em i sitisen bilong Rom na bai ol man i no ken wipim em. (3) Pol i apil long Sisar em empera bilong Rom, na bai em i ken harim kot bilong em.—Aposel 16:37-39; 22:25-28; 25:10-12.
Ol man i lukautim sipsip long taim bilong ol man i raitim Baibel i kisim wanem pe?
Bilipman Jekop i bin lukautim ol sipsip bilong ankol bilong em Laban inap 20 yia. Pastaim Jekop i wok inap 14 yia na bai em i ken maritim 2-pela pikinini meri bilong Laban. Na bihain em i wok 6-pela yia moa, na bai Laban i ken givim ol sipsip long em olsem pe. (Stat 30:25-33) Nius Biblical Archaeology Review i tok: “Ol man bilong raitim Baibel long bipo na ol man i save ritim Baibel bai kliagut long kontrak em Laban i mekim wantaim Jekop bilong lukautim ol sipsip bilong em.”
Ol saveman i mekim wok painimaut long Nuzi na Larsa, na ol narapela ples long kantri nau ol i kolim Irak. Na ol i painim ol rait bilong bipo i soim ol kontrak bilong man i lukautim ol sipsip.

CHAPTER 82
Ministry Bilong Jesus Long Perea
MAN MAS BARAVA TRAE HARD FOR GO INSAED LONG SMOLFALA DOOR
JESUS MAS DAE LONG JERUSALEM
Bihaen Jesus teachim pipol long Judea and Jerusalem and healim olketa, hem katkros long Jordan River for go long evri taon long Perea for teachim pipol. Bat no longtaem nomoa bae hem kam bak long Jerusalem.
Wanfala man long Perea sei long Jesus: “Waswe Lord, samfala nomoa bae sev, or hao?” Maet disfala man savve olketa bigman savve raoa abaotem haomas pipol bae sev. Jesus no ansarem datfala kwestin bat hem storyim wanem man mas duim for sev. Hem sei: “Iufala mas barava trae hard for go insaed long smolfala door.” Diswan minim man mas barava waka hard. Why nao olsem? Jesus sei: “Staka pipol bae trae for go insaed bat bae hem hard nao.”—Luke 13:23, 24.
Jesus storyim wanfala tokpiksa for showimaot man mas barava waka hard. Hem sei: “Taem man long haos hem lokim door, bae iufala standap aotsaed and noknok long door, and sei, ‘Lord, plis openem kam door hia.’ . . . Bat hem bae sei long iufala, ‘Mi nating savve long iufala! Iufala go from mi bikos iufala olketa man for duim olketa nogud samting!’”—Luke 13:25-27.
Diswan showimaot wanem bae happen long man wea kam leit bikos hem kam long taem wea fitim hem nomoa. Taem hem arrive door hem sat and lok finis. Hem shud kam bifor door hem sat nomata hem no isi for hem. Staka pipol olsem. Olketa shud kasem gud samting from Jesus bikos hem stap long there and teachim olketa, bat olketa no iusim datfala chance for mekem tru worship hem main samting long laef bilong olketa. Nomata God sendem Jesus long olketa Jew, staka long olketa no acceptim Jesus wea kam for sevem olketa man. Jesus sei olketa bae “feel sorre tumas and krae” taem olketa stap aotsaed. Bat “pipol from east, west, north, and south,” wea minim from evri kantri, “bae kam and sidaon raonem tebol long Kingdom bilong God.”—Luke 13:28, 29.
Jesus sei: “Samfala wea last [olsem olketa wea no Jew and olketa Jew wea pipol spoelem olketa] bae first, and samfala wea first [olketa bigman wea praod bikos Abraham hem grani bilong olketa] bae last.” (Luke 13:30) Olketa hia wea no tinghae bae “last,” wea minim olketa bae no go insaed long Kingdom.
Samfala Pharisee kam long Jesus and sei: “Iu go from ples hia nao bikos Herod [Antipas] laek killim iu dae.” Maet King Herod nao startim disfala story wea gogo raon for mekem Jesus go from datfala ples. Herod kasem blame finis taem John Baptaesa hem dae, so maet hem fraet nogud sem samting happen moa long disfala profet. Bat Jesus sei long olketa Pharisee: “Iufala go talem datfala fox, tuday and tumoro mi raosem olketa demon and mi healim pipol, and long mek-thri day bae mi finisim waka bilong mi nao.” (Luke 13:31, 32) Maet Jesus kolem Herod wanfala “fox” bikos wei bilong fox hem for duim samting haed. Bat Jesus bae no letem Herod or eni narawan for kontrolem hem or mekem hem hariap. Hem bae duim waka wea hem kasem from Dadi bilong hem followim taem wea God markem, and no followim tingting bilong olketa man.
Jesus gohed long gogo bilong hem for Jerusalem. Hem sei: “Long Jerusalem nomoa fitim for olketa killim dae wanfala profet, no long eni ples moa.” (Luke 13:33) No eni profesi sei Messiah mas dae long datfala taon, so why nao Jesus talem samting wea showimaot bae hem dae long there? Jerusalem hem kapitol taon bilong Judea. Hae Kot bilong Jew wea garem 71 member hem stap long there, and hem nao ples for judgem pipol wea narawan accusim olketa and sei olketa false profet. Long Jerusalem tu olketa savve sakrifaesim olketa animal. So Jesus luksavve bae hem barava no fitim for olketa killim hem dae long eni nara ples.
Jesus sei: “Jerusalem, Jerusalem, wea iu nao killim dae olketa profet and sutim dae long ston olketa wea God sendem kam long iu! Plande taem nao mi laek for hipimap olketa pikinini bilong iu olsem wanfala mami kokorako hem hipimap olketa baby bilong hem andanit long wing bilong hem. Bat iufala nating laekem datwan! Iufala garem temple bilong iufala, bat iu savve, God lusim hem finis.” (Luke 13:34, 35) Nation bilong Israel rejectim Son bilong God and mas kasem nogud samting from datwan!
Bifor Jesus kasem Jerusalem, wanfala bigman bilong olketa Pharisee invaetem Jesus for kaikai long haos bilong hem long Sabbath. Wanfala man long there hem garem sik wea mekem hand and leg bilong hem boela, and evriwan lukluk followim wanem Jesus bae duim long hem. Jesus askem olketa Pharisee and olketa wea barava savve gud long Law: “Hao, hem stret for healim man long Sabbath or nomoa?”—Luke 14:3.
No eniwan talem eni samting. Jesus healim datfala man and sei: “Sapos son or buluka bilong eniwan long iufala foldaon insaed long well long Sabbath, semtaem nomoa, iufala bae pullim hem kamaot, iaman?” (Luke 14:5) Olketa no savve talem eni samting nao long Jesus.

Yupela Ol Yangpela
—Yupela i Redi Long Kisim Baptais?
“Sapos wanpela bilong yupela i laik wokim wanpela taua, orait husat bilong yupela bai i no sindaun pastaim na skelim gut pe bilong dispela samting, na bai em i ken save olsem em i gat ol samting inap long pinisim dispela wok o nogat?”—LUK 14:28.
OL SINGSING: 120, 64
Dispela 2-pela stadi em bilong ol yangpela husat i laik kisim baptais
1, 2. (a) Long nau, wanem samting i mekim ol manmeri bilong God i amamas? (b) Olsem wanem ol papamama na ol elda i ken helpim ol yangpela long kliagut long samting ol i mas mekim taim ol i kisim baptais?
CHRISTOPHER i gat 12-pela krismas, na em i laik kisim baptais. Olsem na wanpela lapun brata i mekim wok elda i tokim Christopher olsem: “Mi save long yu kirap long taim yu bon, na mi amamas long harim olsem yu laik kisim baptais. Mi laik askim yu, ‘Bilong wanem yu laik kisim baptais?’” Dispela elda i givim gutpela askim. Yumi olgeta i save amamas tru long lukim olsem long olgeta yia, planti tausen yangpela long olgeta hap bilong graun i save kisim baptais. (Sav. 12:1) Tasol ol papamama na ol elda long kongrigesen i laik bai ol yangpela i kliagut long ol wok ol i mas mekim taim ol i kisim baptais, na tu, ol yet i mas pilim tru disisen bilong ol long kisim baptais.
2 Baibel i kamapim klia olsem taim man i dediket na kisim baptais, em bai kisim ol blesing i kam long Jehova, tasol Satan bai birua long em. (Snd. 10:22; 1 Pita 5:8) Olsem na ol papamama i mas lusim sampela haptaim long skulim ol pikinini long ol samting ol i mas mekim bilong i stap olsem ol disaipel bilong Krais. Tasol ol yangpela em papamama i no stap long tok i tru, ol elda bai helpim ol long luksave long ol samting ol i mas mekim bilong i stap olsem disaipel bilong Krais. (Ritim Luk 14:27-30.) Taim man i laik wokim haus, em i save wokim plen bambai em inap pinisim dispela wok. Olsem tasol, man i mas redi gut bambai em inap mekim yet wok bilong Jehova “i go inap long pinis.” (Mat. 24:13) Tasol ol yangpela yet inap mekim wanem bambai ol i ken mekim wok bilong Jehova long laip olgeta bilong ol? Yumi ken stori long ol samting ol inap mekim.
3. (a) Tok bilong Jisas na Pita i givim wanem skul long yumi long sait bilong baptais? (Mat. 28:19, 20; 1 Pita 3:21) (b) Bai yumi skelim wanem ol askim? Bilong wanem?
3 Olsem wanem? Yu wanpela yangpela husat i tingting long kisim baptais? Sapos olsem, orait mipela i tok amamas long yu! Taim yu kisim baptais na kamap wanpela Witnes Bilong Jehova, dispela em gutpela blesing tru. Man i mas baptais bambai em inap kamap disaipel bilong Krais. Na tu, dispela bai opim rot bilong em long abrusim bagarap na kisim laip. (Mat. 28:19, 20; 1 Pita 3:21) Yu gat strongpela laik tru long inapim promis bilong yu long Jehova, olsem na yu mas redi gut paslain long yu kisim baptais. Yu ken skelim 3-pela askim we inap helpim yu long luksave sapos yu redi long kisim baptais. Askim yu yet: (1) Mi redi long mekim dispela disisen? (2) Em laik bilong mi yet long kisim baptais? (3) Mi save long ol samting mi mas mekim taim mi dediket long Jehova?
YU KAMAP BIKPELA LONG SAIT BILONG BILIP
4, 5. (a) Bilong wanem na i no ol bikpela manmeri tasol inap kisim baptais? (b) Kristen i mas mekim wanem bambai em inap i stap olsem man i bikpela pinis?
4 Baibel i no tok olsem ol bikpela manmeri tasol inap kisim baptais, o man na meri husat i winim krismas em lo bilong gavman i makim bilong givim sampela kain tok orait long ol, nogat. Sindaun 20:11 i tok: “Yumi lukim pasin bilong wanpela man na yumi ken save, em i gutpela na stretpela man o em i man nogut. Na long wankain pasin tasol, yumi ken save long ol pikinini tu.” Maski yangpela i stap yet olsem pikinini, em inap save long stretpela pasin em i mas bihainim na ol samting em i mas mekim taim em i laik dediket long Krieta bilong yumi. Olsem na baptais em bikpela samting na i stret long yangpela husat i gat stretpela save na em i dediket pinis long Jehova.—Snd. 20:7.
5 Taim Baibel i kolim man olsem man i bikpela pinis, dispela i makim wanem samting? Yumi no ken skelim sais bilong man na tok olsem em i bikpela pinis, nogat. Baibel i tok man i bikpela pinis, em man husat i “yusim save” bilong em long “skelim ol samting na long dispela rot [em] i lainim gut tingting bilong [em] long kliagut long wanem samting i stret na wanem samting i no stret.” (Hib. 5:14) Olsem na ol man i bikpela pinis i save long wanem samting i stret long ai bilong Jehova, na ol i pasim tok long bel olsem ol i laik bihainim ol dispela pasin. Ol i no save larim ol narapela i pulim ol long mekim ol pasin i no stret, na tu, ol yet i save long stretpela pasin ol i mas bihainim na ol i no nidim wanpela man long tokim ol. Taim wanpela yangpela i kisim baptais, yumi bai holim tingting olsem em bai bihainim ol lo bilong God maski sapos em i no stap long ai bilong papamama na ol narapela bikpela manmeri.—Skelim Filipai 2:12.
6, 7. (a) Taim Daniel i stap long Babilon, em i bungim wanem ol traim? (b) Olsem wanem Daniel i soim klia olsem em i stap olsem man i bikpela pinis?
6 Yu ting ol yangpela inap bihainim pasin olsem man i bikpela pinis? Tingim stori bilong Daniel long Baibel. Ating Daniel i gat 13 o 14 krismas taim ami bilong Babilon i kisim em i go kalabus long Babilon. Daniel i no stap moa wantaim papamama bilong em, nogat. Em i stap namel long ol manmeri husat i no gat gutpela tingting long skelim wanem samting i stret na wanem samting i no stret. Na tu, i gat narapela samting i traim Daniel: Ol i mekim em i kamap man i gat biknem long Babilon. Daniel em wanpela bilong ol yangpela em ol i makim em long mekim wok long haus king! (Dan. 1:3-5, 13) Taim Daniel i stap long Babilon, rot i op long em inap kisim planti gutpela samting we em i no inap kisim long Israel.
7 Daniel em yangpela man, na em i mekim wanem disisen? Yu ting ol bilaspasin bilong Babilon i paulim tingting bilong em? Yu ting em i larim ol samting long Babilon i senisim pasin bilong em o bagarapim bilip bilong em? Nogat tru! Baibel i tok, “Daniel i no laik kaikai na dring ol samting ol i givim em long haus bilong king,” em ol samting bilong lotu giaman. (Dan. 1:8) Daniel i stap olsem man i bikpela pinis!
8. Yu kisim wanem skul long eksampel bilong Daniel?
8 Yu inap kisim wanem skul long eksampel bilong Daniel? Sapos wanpela yangpela i stap olsem man i bikpela pinis, em i no inap larim ol narapela samting i paulim bilip bilong em. Em i no olsem wanpela palai we i save senisim skin kala bilong en bambai em i luk wankain long ples em i stap long en. Em i no stap olsem wanpela husat i stap pren bilong God long Haus Kingdom, na long skul em i senis na stap olsem pren bilong ol man bilong dispela graun, nogat. Taim traim i painim em, em i no save larim ol narapela i paulim tingting bilong em, nogat, em i save sanap strong.—Ritim Efesus 4:14, 15.
9, 10. (a) Olsem wanem yangpela inap kisim helpim taim em i tingim bek pasin em i bihainim taim traim i painim em i no longtaim i go pinis? (b) Taim man i kisim baptais, dispela i soim klia wanem samting?
9 Yumi olgeta i sinman, olsem na ol yangpela na ol bikpela manmeri wantaim i save mekim ol popaia. (Sav. 7:20) Maski i olsem, sapos yu tingting long kisim baptais, em i savetingting long skelim sapos yu redi tru long bihainim olgeta lo bilong Jehova. Hau bai yu inap save olsem yu redi tru? Askim yu yet, ‘Mi save bihainim gut ol lo bilong God?’ Skelim pasin yu mekim taim traim i painim yu i no longtaim i go pinis. Yu bihainim pasin i soim olsem yu gat savetingting na yu inap skelim wanem samting i stret na wanem samting i no stret? Bai yu mekim wanem sapos ol manmeri bilong dispela graun i givim biknem long yu, wankain olsem ol i bin mekim long Daniel? Yu ting yu bai wok yet long “save gut long laik bilong Jehova” maski sapos lo bilong em i tambuim samting yu laik mekim?—Efe. 5:17.
10 Ol dispela askim bai helpim yu long holim stretpela tingting long ol samting yu mas mekim taim yu kisim baptais. Olsem yumi stori pinis, baptais i soim klia olsem yu bin mekim strongpela promis long Jehova. Yu promis olsem yu bai laikim em na givim bel olgeta long mekim wok bilong em inap oltaim oltaim. (Mak 12:30) Olgeta manmeri i kisim baptais, ol i mas holim strongpela tingting long bihainim promis bilong ol.—Ritim Saveman 5:4, 5.
EM LAIK BILONG YU YET?
11, 12. (a) Wai na man i mas skelim em yet paslain long em i kisim baptais? (b) Yu mas mekim wanem na bai yu inap holim yet stretpela tingting long lo bilong Jehova long sait bilong baptais?
11 Baibel i tok ol manmeri bilong Jehova bai “helpim” long mekim wok bilong em, na dispela i makim tu ol yangpela. (Sng. 110:3) Olsem na sapos yu laik kisim baptais, laik bilong yu yet i mas kirapim yu long mekim olsem. Yu mas skelim yu yet, long wanem, ating sampela samting long laip bilong yu i mekim na yu stap narapela kain long ol narapela. Ating yu kamap bikpela insait long tok i tru.
12 Insait long ol yia i go pinis, ating yu lukim planti manmeri i kisim baptais—sampela em ol wanlain bilong yu, na sampela em ol bratasusa bilong yu. Sapos kain samting olsem i kamap long yu, orait yu mas holim stretpela tingting. Yu no ken tingim baptais olsem wanpela samting nating em olgeta yangpela i mas mekim taim ol i winim krismas na kamap bikpela man na meri, nogat. Yu ken mekim wanem bambai yu inap holim yet stretpela tingting long lo bilong Jehova long sait bilong baptais? Oltaim yu mas lusim sampela haptaim long tingim tingim ol samting i mekim na baptais em i bikpela samting. Yu bai kisim save long ol dispela samting long dispela stadi na long neks stadi.
13. Olsem wanem yu inap save olsem em laik bilong yu yet long kisim baptais?
13 I gat sampela samting yu inap mekim bilong painimaut sapos em laik tru bilong yu long kisim baptais. Olsem: Ol beten bilong yu bai kamapim klia olsem yu gat strongpela laik tru long mekim wok bilong Jehova. Hamas taim yu beten na ol samting yu kolim long beten bai soim klia olsem yu pas gut wantaim Jehova. (Sng. 25:4) Baibel i stap olsem nambawan rot bilong Jehova long bekim ol beten bilong yumi. Taim yumi stadi gut long Baibel, dispela tu i soim olsem yumi laik tru long i go klostu long Jehova na givim bel olgeta long mekim wok bilong em. (Jos. 1:8) Olsem na askim yu yet: ‘Mi save kolim wanem ol tok long beten bilong mi? Hamas taim mi save mekim Baibel stadi bilong mi yet?’ Sapos yupela i gat Famili Lotu long apinun, orait askim yu yet: ‘Yu save amamas long insait long Famili Lotu?’ Ol bekim bilong yu bai helpim yu long save sapos em laik bilong yu yet long kisim baptais.

14 Ating sampela i no kliagut long olsem wanem dediket na baptais i narapela narapela. Sampela yangpela i save tok olsem ol i dediket pinis long Jehova, tasol ol i no redi yet long kisim baptais. Yu ting dispela i stret? Taim man i dediket, em i tokim Jehova olsem em bai mekim wok bilong Kingdom inap oltaim oltaim. Taim man i kisim baptais, dispela i soim klia olsem em i dediket pinis long God. Olsem na taim yu kisim baptais, ol narapela bai luksave olsem yu yet i bin beten long Jehova na dediketim laip bilong yu long em. Paslain long yu kisim baptais, yu mas save gut long ol samting yu mas mekim taim yu dediket.
15. Taim yu dediket, i olsem yu mekim wanem?
15 Taim yu dediketim laip bilong yu long Jehova, i olsem yu givim yu yet long mekim laik bilong em. Yu tok promis long Jehova olsem yu bai putim laik bilong em i stap namba 1 long laip bilong yu, na olgeta narapela samting bai i stap namba 2. (Ritim Matyu 16:24.) Sapos yu mekim wanpela promis, orait yu mas bihainim tok promis bilong yu. Tasol promis yumi mekim long God Jehova em i bikpela samting moa! (Mat. 5:33) Olsem wanem yu inap soim olsem yu no tingim moa ol laik bilong yu yet, nogat, yu tingim tasol laik bilong Jehova?—Rom 14:8.
16, 17. (a) Olsem wanem yu inap putim laik bilong God i stap namba 1? (b) Taim man i dediket long God, i olsem em i tok wanem?
16 Tingim dispela tok piksa: Wanpela pren i givim yu wanpela kar olsem presen. Em i tok: “Dispela kar em bilong yu.” Tasol em i tok moa olsem: “Mi bai holim ki bilong kar. Mi yet bai draivim kar; yu no inap draiv.” Yu bai pilim olsem wanem long dispela “presen”? Yu bai pilim olsem wanem long man i givim dispela presen?
17 Yu ting Jehova i laik bai man i mekim wanem taim man i dediketim laip bilong em na tok: “Mi givim laip bilong mi long yu, mi bilong yu”? Olsem wanem sapos dispela man i bihainim pasin i no stret, na long pasin hait em i prenim wanpela man o meri husat i no wanbilip?

Taim em i kam stap long graun, em i tok: “Mi lusim heven na kam daun bilong bihainim laik bilong man i salim mi i kam na i no bilong bihainim laik bilong mi yet.”—Jon 6:38.

Nomata olsem, Jesus hem sure evri disaepol savve gohed faithful and kasem blessing from Dadi bilong hem.
Long datfala tokpiksa, tenfala gele evriwan go for meetim man wea bae marit. Taem hem arrive, olketa gele bae torchim road witim laet bilong olketa taem hem tekem kam gele wea hem bae maritim long haos wea hem redyim finis. Bat wanem nao happen?
Jesus sei: “Olketa gele wea no garem gudfala tingting tekem laet bilong olketa bat no tekem eni oil moa for olketa laet hia. Olketa narawan wea garem gudfala tingting tekem samfala oil insaed botol tu witim laet bilong olketa. Bat man wea bae marit hem no kam kwiktaem, so evri gele hia sleep nao.” (Matthew 25:3-5) Luk olsem man wea bae marit hem delay and hem no kam long taem wea olketa tingim. Long datfala taem nao olketa gele sleep. Maet diswan mekem olketa aposol tingim tokpiksa bilong Jesus abaotem man wea born long laen bilong king wea go long wanfala farawe ples and “gogo, bihaen hem kasem paoa for rul hem kam bak.”—Luke 19:11-15.
Long tokpiksa abaotem tenfala gele, Jesus storyim wanem hem happen taem man wea bae marit hem arrive. Hem sei: “Gogo, long midolnaet wanfala man singaot olsem: ‘Man hia kam nao! Iufala go meetim hem.’” (Matthew 25:6) Waswe, olketa gele redi and gohed for lukaot?
Jesus sei moa: “Olketa gele hia wekap and redyim laet bilong olketa. Olketa gele wea no garem oil sei long olketa narawan, ‘Laet bilong mifala klosap dae nao. Givim kam lelebet oil for mifala.’ Olketa gele wea garem gudfala tingting sei long olketa hia: ‘Ei, nogud nao oil hia no fitim iumi evriwan. Iufala go baem kam eni oil for iufala seleva.’”—Matthew 25:7-9.
So faevfala gele wea no garem gudfala tingting no gohed for lukaot and no redi taem man wea bae marit hem arrive. Olketa no garem inaf oil for laet bilong olketa and mas go lukaotem. Jesus sei: “Taem olketa go nomoa, man wea bae marit hem kam, and olketa gele wea redi go witim hem insaed long haos wea marit feast hem gohed and olketa satem door nao. Bihaen, nara faevfala gele kam tu, and olketa sei long man wea bae marit, ‘Plis openem door for mifala!’ Hem sei long olketa, ‘Mi nating savve long iufala.’” (Matthew 25:10-12) Sorre nao olketa no redi and no gohed for lukaot!
Olketa aposol luksavve datfala man wea bae marit hem piksarem Jesus bikos wantaem Jesus comparem hemseleva witim wanfala man wea bae marit. (Luke 5:34, 35) And hu nao olketa gele wea garem gudfala tingting piksarem? Taem Jesus story abaotem “smol sekson bilong olketa sheepsheep” wea Dadi bae givim Kingdom long olketa, hem sei: “Iufala mas werem kaleko and redi and laetem laet bilong iufala.” (Luke 12:32, 35) So long disfala tokpiksa abaotem tenfala gele, olketa aposol luksavve Jesus story abaotem olketa and olketa nara disaepol tu wea insaed datfala smol sekson. So wanem nao Jesus laekem olketa disaepol bilong hem for lanem from disfala tokpiksa?
Long end bilong datfala tokpiksa Jesus hem sei: “Gohed for lukaot, bikos iufala no savve long datfala day or taem.”—Matthew 25:13.
Jesus talem olketa faithful disaepol bilong hem olketa mas “gohed for lukaot” mekem olketa luksavve long taem wea hem stap. Jesus bae kam, so olketa mas redi and gohed for lukaot olsem faevfala gele wea garem gudfala tingting. Diswan bae helpem olketa for evritaem tingim hope bilong olketa and kasem reward wea God promis for givim long olketa.

Long dispela taim bipo, ol narapela skul na yunivesiti i no givim kain skul olsem long ol sumatin.
“DISPELA BAIBEL I NAIS TRU”
Long 1587, Elias i trensletim ol tok bilong Olpela Testamen i go long tok Hibru—ol man i kolim Olpela Testamen bilong makim ol buk bilong Baibel kirap long Buk Stat i go inap long Buk Malakai. Nem bilong dispela Baibel em Derekh ha-Kodesh; dispela tok i kam long Aisaia 35:8 na mining bilong en em “Bikrot Bilong God Yet.” Elias i bihainim naispela stail bilong raitim ol tok, na dispela i kirapim ol man long tok “olgeta samting long dispela Baibel i nais tru.” Tasol gutpela samting tru em olsem, ol sumatin inap yusim dispela Baibel olsem nambawan tul bilong helpim ol long lainim tok Hibru.
Hibru Baibel bilong Elias i bin helpim tru ol sumatin. Tingim 2-pela samting i putim hevi long ol sumatin taim ol i laik ritim Baibel long tok Hibru. Namba 1: Alfabet bilong tok Hibru i narapela kain, na ol i save ritim long rait i go long left. Namba 2: Ol hap tok i stap long fran o baksait bilong wanpela bikpela tok i mekim na i hatwok long luksave long bikpela tok. Kain olsem dispela tok Hibru נפשׁ (ne’phesh), mining bilong en, “laip.” Long Esekiel 18:4 long tok Hibru, dispela tok ה (ha) i stap long fran bilong tok, na mining bilong en em “dispela.” Taim ol i bungim dispela 2-pela hap tok, em bai kamap הנפשׁ (han·ne’phesh), o “dispela laip.” Taim nupela man i lukim הנפשׁ (han·ne’phesh), em inap ting dispela tok i no wankain long נפשׁ (ne’phesh).

Ol piksa long antap i soim stail bilong raitim tok bilong Esekiel 18:4 long Hibru Baibel bilong Elias Hutter, na futnot bilong wankain ves long Reference Bible.
“NUPELA TESTAMEN” LONG TOK HIBRU
Elias i prinim tu Nupela Testamen, na ol tok bilong en i stap long 12-pela tokples—ol man i kolim Nupela Testamen bilong makim ol buk bilong Baibel kirap long Buk Matyu i go inap long Buk Revelesen. Em i prinim dispela Baibel long taun Nuremberg long 1599, na ol man i kolim olsem Nuremberg Polyglot.

Tasol em i tok maski sapos em i “redi long baim bikpela mani” na bai ol man inap trensletim i go long tok Hibru, dispela wok bai lus nating. * Olsem na em yet i trensletim Nupela Testamen i go long tok Hibru. Elias i pinisim dispela wok insait long wanpela yia tasol!
Olsem wanem long wok bilong Elias long trensletim Ol Skripsa Grik i go long tok Hibru? Long 1891, Franz Delitzsch, em saveman bilong tok Hibru, em i tok: “Trenslesen bilong em long tok Hibru i soim klia olsem em i kliagut long wanpela samting long dispela tokples em ol Kristen i no bin luksave long en, na i gutpela long skelim trenslesen bilong em bikos planti taim em i yusim ol tok i stret tasol.”

Elias i no kamap maniman long wok em i mekim long trensletim Baibel. Tasol wok bilong em i helpim tru yumi. William Robertson i rivaisim Nupela Testamen em Elias i bin trensletim long tok Hibru na prinim gen long 1661, na Richard Caddick i rivaisim na prinim gen long 1798. Taim Elias i lukluk long tok Grik na trensletim i go long tok Hibru, em i trensletim stret ol biknem Kyʹri·os (Bikpela) na The·osʹ (God) olsem “Jehova” (יהוה, JHVH). Em i mekim olsem sapos dispela tok i kam long Ol Skripsa Hibru o em i pilim olsem skripsa i makim Jehova. Yumi ken amamas long dispela bikos maski planti trenslesen bilong Nupela Testamen i no yusim nem tru bilong God, trenslesen bilong Elias i yusim nem bilong God na dispela i soim olsem em i laik tru long putim bek nem bilong God long Ol Skripsa Grik.

19 Long datfala taem wea A·polʹlos hem stap long Corinth, Paul hem go followim road long olketa maunten, gogo hem kasem Ephʹe·sus. Hem lukim samfala disaepol long there2 and hem sei long olketa: “Hao, holy spirit kam long iufala tu taem iufala biliv?” Olketa sei long hem: “Mifala no savve eni samting abaotem holy spirit.”3 Hem sei: “Sapos olsem, wanem kaen baptaes nao iufala baptaes long hem?” Olketa sei: “Mifala baptaes followim teaching bilong John.”4 Paul sei: “John hem baptaesim pipol for showimaot olketa repent. Hem talem olketa for biliv long man wea bae kam bihaen long hem, wea hem nao Jesus.”5 Taem olketa herem diswan, olketa baptaes long nem bilong Lord Jesus.6 Paul hem putim hand bilong hem long olketa. Semtaem nomoa holy spirit hem kam long olketa, and olketa toktok long olketa difren languis and talem profesi.*7 Samting olsem twelvfala man nao diswan happen long olketa.8 For thrifala month Paul hem go olowe long sinagog* and hem strong for preach and hem story gud tumas abaotem Kingdom bilong God.9 Bat samfala long olketa strong hed tumas and no laek biliv. Olketa tok spoelem datfala niu wei* front long evriwan. So Paul lusim olketa. Hem tekem olketa disaepol witim hem and evriday hem preach long skul bilong Ty·ranʹnus.10 Hem duim olsem for tufala year. From diswan olketa Jew and olketa bilong Greece* wea stap long Asia* olketa herem message bilong Lord.11 God hem gohed givim paoa long Paul for duim olketa mirakol.12 Pipol savve tekem eni kaleko bilong Paul and putim long body bilong olketa wea sik, and olketa gud bak moa and olketa demon go aot from olketa.13 Bat samfala Jew wea savve gogo raon for raosem olketa demon, olketa trae for iusim nem bilong Lord Jesus for duim diswan. Olketa sei: “Long nem bilong Jesus wea Paul preach abaotem, mi talem iufala for mas kamaot.”14 Sevenfala son bilong wanfala hed priest bilong olketa Jew wea nem bilong hem Sceʹva, olketa tu duim diswan.15 Bat wanfala demon hem sei long olketa: “Mi savve long Jesus and mi savve long Paul tu, bat iufala hu ia?”16 Datfala man wea demon stap long hem, hem getap and faetem olketa, gogo hem winim sevenfala evriwan nao. Olketa garekil and naked* and olketa ranawe from datfala haos.17 Taem olketa Jew and olketa bilong Greece wea stap long Ephʹe·sus olketa herem diswan, evriwan fraet fogud and mekhae long nem bilong Lord Jesus.18 And plande long olketa wea biliv olketa kam and talemaot rong bilong olketa.19 Staka wea duim magic tekem kam olketa buk bilong olketa and bonem front long evriwan.

Hem sei: “Bihaen mi kasem long there, mi mas go long Rome tu.”22 So hem sendem Timothy and E·rasʹtus, wea tufala savve helpem hem, for go long Mac·e·doʹni·a firstaem long hem. Bat Paul hem stap lelebet taem moa long Asia.23 Long datfala taem bigfala raoa hem kamap abaotem datfala niu wei.24 Wanfala man wea nem bilong hem De·meʹtri·us, hem savve wakem olketa barava smolfala temple long silver wea olsem temple bilong Arʹte·mis.

Olketa holem Gaʹius and Ar·is·tarʹchus and ran go long stadium.* Tufala hia bilong Mac·e·doʹni·a and tufala savve gogo witim Paul.30 Paul hem laek go insaed for story witim olketa pipol hia, bat olketa disaepol stopem hem.31 Samfala man for organizem olketa show long datfala stadium wea kaen long Paul, olketa tu sendem message for hem mas no go bikos hem danger tumas.32 Samfala singaot and talem wanfala samting and olketa narawan singaotem difren samting bikos olketa no minim wanem nao gohed. Staka no savve long why nao olketa hipap long there.33 So olketa Jew holem Alexander and pushim hem go front long olketa pipol hia.

Waswe, Kaleko and Lukluk Bilong Iumi Mekhae Long Jehovah?
“Evri samting wea iufala duim mas givim glory long God.”—1 COR. 10:31.
SONG: 34, 61
1, 2. Why nao Olketa Jehovah’s Witness werem kaleko wea showimaot respect? (Lukim piksa long start bilong study.)
WANFALA niuspepa long Netherlands story abaotem kaleko wea olketa bigman bilong church werem long wanfala meeting bilong olketa. Hem sei: “Staka bigman hia werem kaleko wea no fitim and wea no showimaot respect, especially long taem wea weather hem hot.” Bat datfala sem niuspepa hem sei Olketa Jehovah’s Witness barava difren taem olketa go long convention bilong olketa. Olketa boy and olketa man werem jacket and nektae, and olketa gele and woman werem olketa longfala skirt wea luk naes. Staka taem pipol savve tok hae abaotem hao Olketa Jehovah’s Witness werem kaleko. Aposol Paul sei olketa Christian shud werem kaleko wea “showimaot respect and gudfala tingting” wea fitim pipol wea worshipim God. (1 Tim. 2:9, 10) Nomata aposol Paul story for olketa sista long kongregeson, disfala principle hem fitim tu olketa brata.
2 Kaleko wea showimaot respect hem important long iumi, and hem important tu long God wea iumi worshipim. (Gen. 3:21) Wanem Bible storyim saed long kaleko and lukluk showimaot Jehovah, wea hem rulim full universe, hem garem standard for pipol bilong hem saed long datwan. So kaleko wea iumi disaed for werem shud no followim nomoa tingting bilong iumiseleva bat hem shud followim olketa standard bilong Jehovah.
3. Wanem nao iumi lanem from Law bilong Moses abaotem tingting bilong Jehovah saed long kaleko?
3 Law bilong Moses garem olketa rul wea protectim olketa Israelite from olketa barava nogud wei bilong pipol wea stap raonem olketa. Datfala Law showimaot Jehovah hem barava heitim wei wea man werem kaleko bilong woman and woman werem kaleko bilong man. Staka distaem tu duim semkaen samting. (Readim Deuteronomy 22:5.) Law bilong Moses helpem iumi for luksavve Jehovah heitim wei for eniwan werem kaleko wea mekem hem hard for luksavve sapos hem man or hem woman.
4. Wanem nao savve helpem olketa Christian for mekem olketa gudfala disison saed long kaleko?
4 Olketa Bible principle savve helpem iumi for mekem olketa gudfala disison saed long kaleko wea iumi werem. Iumi savve followim olketa principle hia nomata wanem kantri iumi stap long hem or culture bilong iumi. Iumi no needim wanfala long list for talem iumi kaleko wea fitim and no fitim, bat wei for followim olketa Bible principle savve helpem iumi for chusim kaleko wea iumi laekem and wea God bae hapi long hem. Distaem bae iumi storyim samfala Bible principle wea savve helpem iumi for luksavve long “samting wea God laekem iumi for duim” taem iumi chusim kaleko for werem.—Rome 12:1, 2.
‘IUMI SHOWIMAOT IUMI OLKETA WAKAMAN BILONG GOD’
5, 6. Storyim hao kaleko wea iumi werem savve affectim olketa narawan.
5 Aposol Paul storyim wanfala important principle long 2 Corinth 6:4. (Readim.) Kaleko iumi werem and lukluk bilong iumi hem mekem pipol luksavve wanem kaen man nao iumi. (1 Sam. 16:7) From iumi pipol bilong God, iumi luksavve hem important for iumi mekem wise disison long kaleko wea iumi chus for werem. Taem iumi followim olketa Bible principle, datwan shud helpem iumi for no werem kaleko wea barava taet, showim body, or mekem narawan garem rong tingting. Diswan minim iumi no werem kaleko wea sheipim private part or wea showim susu. Kaleko wea iumi werem shud no mekem narawan feel nogud or for stambol.
6 Taem kaleko wea iumi werem hem klin and showimaot respect, pipol bae luksavve iumi worshipim Jehovah, wea hem Lord bilong evri samting, and olketa bae respectim iumi. And tu, maet datwan mekem olketa laek for savve long Jehovah, tinghae long organization bilong iumi, and willing for lisin long iumi taem iumi preach long olketa.
7, 8. Wanem taem nao hem barava important for iumi werem kaleko wea showimaot respect?
7 Kaleko wea iumi werem bae mekem pipol praisem or tok spoelem God bilong iumi wea holy. And tu, hem savve affectim olketa brata and sista, and pipol long territory bilong iumi. Iumi laek for werem kaleko wea fitim gud nius wea iumi preach abaotem and wea mekhae long Jehovah. (Rome 13:8-10) Hem barava important for iumi werem kaleko wea showimaot respect taem iumi go long olketa meeting and duim preaching waka. Iumi shud werem kaleko ‘wea fitim pipol wea sei olketa worshipim God.’ (1 Tim. 2:10) Hem tru, samfala kaleko wea hem fitim for man werem long wanfala kantri, hem no fitim for man werem long narafala kantri. So nomata wea nao iumi stap, iumi Olketa Jehovah’s Witness shud no werem kaleko wea bae mekem olketa narawan for stambol.
8 Readim 1 Corinth 10:31. Taem iumi go long olketa assembly and convention, iumi mas werem kaleko wea fitim and wea showimaot respect. Iumi shud no werem kaleko wea ova tumas and wea olsem pipol long world. Bifor iumi go long convention and bihaen long convention and taem iumi stap long accomodation bilong iumi, iumi shud werem kaleko wea fitim. Then bae iumi no hol bak for sei iumi Olketa Jehovah’s Witness, and bae iumi feel free for preach long eniwan wea iumi meetim.
9, 10. Hao nao Philippi 2:4 savve helpem iumi taem iumi chusim kaleko wea iumi werem?
9 Readim Philippi 2:4. Why nao iumi shud tingim feeling bilong olketa brata and sista bilong iumi taem iumi chusim kaleko for werem? Wanfala reason hem samting wea disfala scripture storyim. Hem sei: “Killim dae feeling bilong iufala for laek durong, for duim samting wea no klin, for ova tumas for laekem sex, for laekem tumas for duim nogud samting.” (Col. 3:2, 5) Bifor samfala brata and sista kam insaed long truth, laef bilong olketa hem olobaot and maet olketa stragol yet witim feeling for laek duim olketa nogud samting. Sapos iumi no keakea, kaleko wea iumi werem bae mekem hem barava hard long olketa for followim kaonsel long Bible for againstim datfala feeling. (1 Cor. 6:9, 10) Iumi no laek for spoelem tingting bilong olketa brata and sista bilong iumi wea stragol long diswan.
10 Kaleko wea iumi werem long olketa meeting or long olketa narataem wea iumi stap witim olketa brata and sista bilong iumi hem savve helpem kongregeson for stap klin. Nomata iumiseleva savve chusim kaleko wea iumi laek for werem, iumi no laek for werem kaleko wea bae mekem narawan garem nogud tingting, talem nogud toktok, and duim eni samting wea God no hapi long hem. (1 Pet. 1:15, 16) Man wea garem love “hem evritaem showimaot respect, [and] no tingim hemseleva nomoa.”—1 Cor. 13:4, 5.
WEREM KALEKO WEA FITIM
11, 12. Hao nao Ecclesiastes 3:1, 17 helpem iumi saed long kaleko wea iumi werem?
11 Taem pipol bilong God disaedem wanem kaleko for werem, olketa luksavve “evri samting hem garem taem bilong hem.” (Eccl. 3:1, 17) Kaleko wea iumi werem hem depend long weather, ples wea iumi stap, and living bilong iumi. Nomata olsem, olketa standard bilong Jehovah hem no change.—Mal. 3:6.
12 Sapos iumi stap long ples wea weather hem hot, maet iumi laek for werem kaleko wea mekem iumi no feel hot tumas, bat iumi shud werem kaleko wea fitim and wea showimaot respect. Olketa brata and sista bilong iumi bae hapi sapos iumi no werem kaleko wea taet tumas or wea big tumas. (Job 31:1) And tu, taem iumi swim long sea or long nara ples, kaleko wea iumi werem shud showimaot respect. (Prov. 11:2, 20) Nomata pipol long world werem kaleko for swim wea showim body bilong olketa, iumi laek for werem kaleko wea mekhae long God bilong iumi, Jehovah.
13. Hao nao kaonsel long 1 Corinth 10:32, 33 savve helpem iumi saed long kaleko wea iumi werem?
13 Iumi mas tingim narafala principle taem iumi chusim kaleko wea iumi bae werem. Iumi no laek for spoelem konsens bilong olketa narawan. (Readim 1 Corinth 10:32, 33.) Hem important for no werem kaleko wea mekem olketa brata and sista and olketa narawan for feel nogud. Aposol Paul sei: “Iumi evriwan mas duim samting wea helpem and strongim narawan.” Then hem talem why iumi mas duim olsem. Hem sei: “Christ tu bat no duim nomoa wanem hemseleva laekem.” (Rome 15:2, 3) Olsem Jesus iumi tu shud ting long wei for duim wanem God laekem and helpem olketa narawan olsem hem important winim wanem iumiseleva laekem. So iumi bae no werem kaleko wea iumiseleva laekem bat wea maet mekem pipol no laek for lisin long message wea iumi preach abaotem.
14. Hao nao dadi and mami savve teachim pikinini for mekhae long God saed long kaleko wea hem werem?
14 Hem responsibility bilong dadi and mami for teachim pikinini for savve hao for followim olketa Bible principle. From dadi and mami and olketa pikinini laek for mekem Jehovah hapi, bae olketa mek sure kaleko and lukluk bilong olketa hem showimaot respect. (Prov. 22:6; 27:11) Hao nao dadi and mami savve teachim pikinini for respectim God bilong iumi wea holy, and for followim olketa standard bilong hem? Dadi and mami shud showimaot gudfala example long diswan. And tufala shud teachim pikinini for savve long wea nao gudfala ples for baem kaleko and for chusim kaleko wea fitim. Olketa pikinini savve chusim kaleko wea olketa laekem, bat samting wea barava important nao, kaleko wea olketa chusim mas mekhae long Jehovah, God wea olketa worshipim.
DISAED LONG GUDFALA WEI
15. Wanem nao iumi shud tingim saed long kaleko wea iumi werem?
15 Bible hem helpem iumi for mekem olketa gudfala disison wea bae mekhae long God. Bat iumiseleva savve chusim kaleko wea iumi laek for werem. Iumi evriwan no semsem long wanem kaen kaleko iumi laek for werem and kaleko wea iumi chusim hem depend tu long selen wea iumi garem. Nomata olsem, kaleko wea iumi werem mas klin, showimaot respect, hem fitim samting wea iumi duim, and no mekem pipol for stambol.
16. Why nao hem gud for faendem kaleko wea showimaot respect?
16 Hem no isi for faendem kaleko wea fitim and wea showimaot respect. Staka stoa salem nomoa olketa niu stael bilong kaleko wea pipol long world laekem. So iumi mas traem best for faendem olketa skirt, dress, and blouse wea showimaot respect, or olketa shirt and longkwi wea no taet tumas. Olketa brata and sista bilong iumi bae tinghae long wei wea iumi traem best for werem kaleko wea luk naes and wea fitim. Iumi tu bae hapi taem iumi werem kaleko wea mekhae long Jehovah nomata maet iumi mas waka hard for faendem kaleko wea showimaot respect.
17. Wanem nao bae helpem wanfala brata for disaed sapos hem bae garem beard or nomoa?
17 Waswe, hem fitim for olketa brata garem beard? Law bilong Moses sei olketa man mas garem beard. Bat olketa Christian no stap anda long Law bilong Moses. (Lev. 19:27; 21:5; Gal. 3:24, 25) Long samfala kantri, olketa brata savve garem short beard wea luk neat. Pipol acceptim datwan, and tu, pipol long territory willing for lisin long olketa brata nomata olketa garem beard taem olketa duim ministry. Samfala elder and ministerial servant long olketa kantri hia garem beard. Nomata olsem, samfala brata long olketa kantri hia disaed for no garem beard. (1 Cor. 8:9, 13; 10:32) Long olketa nara kantri, olketa brata no garem beard bikos pipol no acceptim datwan. Sapos wanfala brata long olketa kantri olsem hem garem beard, maet datwan spoelem nem bilong God and bae hem no savve duim eni waka long kongregeson.—Rome 15:1-3; 1 Tim. 3:2, 7.
18, 19. Hao nao Micah 6:8 hem helpem iumi taem iumi disaedem wanem kaleko for werem?
18 Iumi hapi tumas Jehovah no givim wanfala long list abaotem wanem kaen kaleko and lukluk nao hem fitim and no fitim. Bat hem laekem iumi for followim olketa Bible principle for disaed long gudfala wei. So iumi showimaot iumi hambol taem iumi disaedem wanem kaen kaleko for werem and garem lukluk wea fitim olketa wea worshipim God.—Mic. 6:8.
19 Iumi luksavve Jehovah hem holy and hem klin and olketa standard bilong hem best wan for iumi followim. Sapos iumi hambol, bae iumi laek for followim olketa standard bilong hem, and bae iumi respectim olketa narawan long wei for tingim feeling and tingting bilong olketa.
20. Wanem nao pipol shud luksavve long hem taem olketa lukim kaleko wea iumi werem and lukluk bilong iumi?
20 Taem pipol lukim kaleko wea iumi werem olketa shud luksavve iumi pipol wea worshipim Jehovah. Jehovah garem olketa hae standard saed long kaleko and iumi hapi for followim olketa standard hia. Olketa brata and sista wea werem kaleko wea showimaot respect and wea garem gudfala wei olketa fit for kasem praise. Olketa mekhae long Jehovah and mekem hem hapi.
