CHAPTER 120

Jesus gohed story witim olketa faithful aposol for comfortim olketa. Luk olsem hem kasem midolnaet nao. Distaem Jesus storyim wanfala tokpiksa for encouragem olketa.
Hem sei: “Mi nao grape tree wea garem gudfala frut, and Dadi bilong mi nao man wea lukaftarem olketa grape tree.” (John 15:1) Tokpiksa bilong hem semsem witim wanem olketa profet talem plande handred year bifor abaotem nation bilong Israel, wea olketa kolem grape tree bilong Jehovah. (Jeremiah 2:21; Hosea 10:1, 2) Bat Jehovah rejectim datfala nation. (Matthew 23:37, 38) So grape tree wea Jesus storyim hem piksarem difren samting. Jesus nao datfala grape tree wea Dadi bilong hem lukaftarem start kam long taem wea hem givim holy spirit long Jesus long 29 C.E. Bat Jesus showimaot datfala grape tree hem no piksarem hemseleva nomoa.
Hem sei: “[Dadi bilong mi] bae katem evri branch bilong mi wea no garem frut, and prunim evri branch wea garem frut for mekem hem klin and savve garem samfala frut moa. . . . Eni branch wea no stap long tree bae hem no savve garem frut. So sapos iufala no gohed wan mind witim mi bae iufala tu no savve garem frut. Mi nao datfala grape tree, and iufala olketa branch.”—John 15:2-5.
Jesus promisim olketa faithful disaepol bae hem sendem holy spirit for helpem olketa bihaen hem lusim olketa. Fifti-wan day bihaen hem go long heven, olketa aposol and olketa narawan kasem holy spirit and kamap olketa branch bilong datfala grape tree. Evri branch hia mas gohed wan mind witim Jesus. Diswan bae helpem olketa for duim wanem samting?
Jesus sei: “Eniwan wea gohed wan mind witim mi and mi wan mind witim hem, bae garem staka frut. Sapos iufala no wan mind witim mi, hard for iufala duim eni samting.” Olketa branch hia, wea hem nao olketa faithful disaepol bilong Jesus, bae garem staka frut, wea minim olketa bae followim wei bilong Jesus, storyim Kingdom bilong God long pipol, and teachim pipol for kamap disaepol. Waswe sapos wanfala disaepol no gohed wan mind witim Jesus and hem no savve garem frut? Jesus sei: “Sapos eniwan no gohed wan mind witim mi, bae hem olsem wanfala branch wea olketa katem.” Bat Jesus sei moa: “Sapos iufala gohed wan mind witim mi and followim samting wea mi talem, iufala savve askem eni samting wea iufala laekem and iufala bae kasem datwan.”—John 15:5-7.
Jesus storyim tufala taem finis why olketa disaepol mas obeyim olketa law bilong hem. Distaem hem storyim datwan moa. (John 14:15, 21) Hem sei: “Sapos iufala obeyim olketa law bilong mi, iufala bae gohed kasem gud samting from love bilong mi, olsem mi tu obeyim olketa law bilong Dadi long heven and gohed kasem gud samting from love bilong hem.” Then hem storyim main wei wea olketa disaepol savve showimaot olketa obeyim olketa law bilong hem. Hem sei: “Law bilong mi nao hem for iufala lovem iufala evriwan olsem hao mi lovem iufala tu. Man wea barava showimaot bigfala love nao hem man wea willing for dae for olketa fren bilong hem. Sapos iufala duim samting wea mi talem long iufala, iufala olketa fren bilong mi.”—John 15:10-14.
Insaed next tu-thri hour nomoa, Jesus bae showimaot hem lovem olketa man taem hem dae for olketa wea showimaot faith long hem. Example bilong hem shud encouragem olketa disaepol for lovem narawan winim olketa seleva. Diswan bae mekem pipol luksavve long olketa, olsem Jesus talem finis. Hem sei: “Sapos iufala lovem iufala evriwan, pipol bae savve iufala olketa disaepol bilong mi.”—John 13:35.
Jesus storyim why nao hem kolem olketa aposol “olketa fren.” Hem sei: “Mi kolem iufala olketa fren bikos mi talem iufala evri samting wea mi herem from Dadi bilong mi.” Olketa aposol shud tinghae long datwan. Hem spesol samting for fren witim Jesus and for savve wanem Dadi talem long Jesus! Bat for olketa gohed fren witim Jesus, olketa mas “gohed garem olketa frut.” Sapos olsem, Jesus sei ‘eni samting wea olketa askem long Dadi long nem bilong hem, hem bae givim long olketa.’—John 15:15, 16.
Sapos olketa disaepol lovem olketa evriwan, datwan bae helpem olketa for gohed strong long olketa hard taem wea bae kamap. Jesus sei pipol long world bae heitim olketa, bat hem encouragem olketa and sei: “Sapos pipol long world heitim iufala, iufala savve finis, mi nao olketa heitim mi firstaem. Sapos iufala olsem pipol long world, olketa bae laekem iufala. Bat . . . iufala no olsem pipol long world. Dastawe pipol long world heitim iufala.”—John 15:18, 19.
Jesus storyim nara reason why pipol long world heitim olketa disaepol. Hem sei: “Olketa bae duim olketa samting hia againstim iufala bikos iufala olketa disaepol bilong mi and olketa no savve long man wea sendem mi kam.” Jesus sei hem olsem olketa mirakol bilong hem judgem pipol wea heitim hem. Hem sei: “Mi duim olketa mirakol wea no eni nara man duim. Sapos olketa no lukim olketa mirakol hia, bae olketa no guilty long sin wea olketa duim. Bat olketa lukim samting wea mi duim and olketa heitim mi and Dadi bilong mi.” Profesi talem finis diswan bae happen.—John 15:21, 24, 25; Psalm 35:19; 69:4.
Jesus promisim moa for sendem holy spirit for helpem olketa. Evri disaepol bilong Jesus savve kasem paoa from datfala holy spirit wea bae helpem olketa for garem frut, wea hem nao for “talem pipol abaotem [hem].”—John 15:27.

Hem bikos sapos Israel winim datfala war, olketa maet tingse olketa winim war seleva. Maet olketa tingse olketa no needim help bilong Jehovah for win. So Jehovah sei long Gid′e‧on: ‘Talem evri man wea fraet for go bak long hom.’ Taem Gid′e‧on duim diswan, 22,000 man bilong hem for faet go bak hom. So datwan minim 10,000 man nomoa stap for faet againstim 135,000 soldia.
Bat lisin! Jehovah hem sei: ‘Iu still garem staka man tumas.’ So hem talem Gid′e‧on for talem olketa man hia for drink from disfala wata and then for sendem go bak evriwan wea barava putim feis bilong olketa long wata for drink. Jehovah hem promis olsem: ‘Mi bae mekem iu win witim 300 man hia wea lukluk raon taem olketa drink.’
Long taem for faet. Gid′e‧on divaedem 300 man bilong hem long thrifala grup. Hem givim each man wanfala horn, and wanfala clay pot witim wanfala lamp insaed. Taem hem klosap midolnaet, evriwan long olketa raonem camp bilong olketa enemy soldia. Then long semtaem, evriwan blowim horn bilong olketa and brekem clay pot bilong olketa and shout olsem: ‘Sword bilong Jehovah and Gid′e‧on!’ Taem olketa enemy soldia wekap, olketa konfius and fraet fogud. Evriwan long olketa start for ran, and olketa Israelite winim datfala faet nao.

OL SINGSING: 49, 65 [32]
1. Sin i mekim na ol wokman bilong God inap pilim olsem wanem?
APOSEL Pol i tok: “Mi pilim nogut tru!” (Rom 7:24) Planti wokman bilong God i mekim wankain tok olsem aposel Pol.

2 Baibel i helpim yumi long save olsem sapos yumi larim Jehova i lukautim yumi, yumi bai i stap bel isi na bel i no inap kotim yumi. (Ritim Song 34:22.) Taim yumi larim Jehova i lukautim yumi, dispela i makim wanem samting? Yumi mas mekim wanem bambai Jehova inap marimari na fogivim yumi? Long taim bilong ol Israel bilong bipo, ol i makim ol taun bilong hait. Taim yumi skelim dispela samting, dispela bai helpim yumi long kisim bekim bilong ol dispela askim. Aninit long kontrak bilong Lo, ol man i popaia na kilim narapela ol i ken i go hait long ol dispela taun. Tasol nupela kontrak long Pentikos 33 C.E. i kisim ples bilong dispela Lo.

Pastaim yumi laik kliagut long risen na ol i makim ol dispela taun.
‘MAKIM OL TAUN BILONG HAIT’
3. Lain Israel i save mekim wanem taim wanpela man i kilim narapela man i dai?
3 Long taim bilong lain Israel bilong bipo, Jehova i no laikim pasin bilong kilim man. Sapos man i kilim narapela man, orait “wanblut bilong man i dai” bai kilim dispela man i dai. (Nam. 35:19) I stret long ol i mekim olsem bikos dispela man i kapsaitim blut bilong narapela man husat i no gat asua. Taim ol i kilim man i gat asua long blut, dispela i lukautim Graun Bilong Promis bikos Jehova i tok: “Pasin bilong kilim man i dai i save mekim kantri i kamap doti.”—Nam. 35:33, 34.

5 Ol man i no kamapim dispela tingting long wokim ol dispela taun bilong ol man i hait long en. Jehova i tokim Josua: “Yu tokim ol Israel, ‘Yupela i mas makim ol sampela taun bilong ol man i ken i go hait insait long ol.’” Ol dispela taun “ol i makim” i bilong lukautim ol man. (Jos. 20:1, 2, 7, 8) Jehova yet i stiaim wok bilong makim ol taun bilong hait, olsem na yumi laik save: Olsem wanem dispela i helpim yumi long luksave long pasin marimari bilong Jehova? Yumi kisim wanem skul long pasin bilong God long lusim ol rong bilong yumi?
‘MAN I MAS TOKAUT LONG OL HETMAN’
6, 7. (a) Stori long olsem wanem ol hetman i save helpim man husat i popaia na kilim narapela. (Lukim piksa long kirap bilong stadi.) (b) Bilong wanem man i kilim narapela i mas i go lukim ol hetman?
6 Taim man i popaia na kilim wanpela i dai, em i mas “i go long ples bilong kot long bikpela dua bilong taun, na tokaut long ol hetman long ol samting em i bin mekim.” Ol hetman i mas mekim gut long em.

Sapos ol hetman i tokaut olsem em i popaia na kilim man i dai, orait em bai go bek long taun em i bin hait long en.

Ol i mekim olsem bilong helpim lain Israel long i stap klin, na tu, dispela bai helpim man i gat asua long kisim helpim long pasin marimari bilong Jehova. Wanpela saveman bilong Baibel i tok olsem sapos man i kilim narapela na em i no kisim helpim long ol hetman, “hevi bai painim em.” Em i tok moa: “Blut bilong em i stap long han bilong em bikos em i no laik kisim helpim long God.” I gat rot long man husat i popaia na kilim narapela long kisim helpim, tasol em yet i mas go lukim ol hetman. Sapos em i no ranawe i go long wanpela taun bilong hait em Jehova i makim, orait wanblut bilong man em i kilim i ken kilim em i dai.

8 Long nau, sapos wanpela Kristen i mekim bikpela rong, orait em i mas i go kisim helpim long ol elda. Bilong wanem em i bikpela samting long em i mekim olsem? Namba 1: Olsem Baibel i kamapim, Jehova yet i stretim rot long ol elda i mas helpim ol lain i mekim ol bikpela rong. (Jems 5:14-16) Namba 2: Taim man i mekim rong i kisim helpim long ol elda, dispela bai helpim em long i stap aninit long lukaut bilong God na bihainim stretpela pasin. (Gal. 6:1; Hib. 12:11) Namba 3: Ol elda i gat wok long mekim gut bel bilong man husat i tanim bel bambai em i no larim bel hevi i daunim em. Jehova i kolim ol elda olsem “ples hait ol manmeri i ken i go na hait long en long taim bilong bikpela win na ren.” (Ais. 32:1, 2) Helpim yumi kisim long ol elda i kamapim klia pasin marimari bilong God.
9 Planti wokman bilong God i kisim bel isi taim ol i kisim helpim long ol elda. Daniel em wanpela brata husat i bin mekim bikpela rong, na inap sampela mun em i no go lukim ol elda bilong kisim helpim. Em i tok: “Longpela haptaim i lus na mi ting olsem ol elda i no inap helpim mi. Mi save tingting planti long rong mi bin mekim na mi wet tasol long hevi bai painim mi. Taim mi beten long Jehova, mi pilim olsem mi mas tok sori long rong mi mekim paslain long mi askim em long ol narapela samting.” Bihain, Daniel i kisim helpim long ol elda. Taim em i tingting i go bek, em i tok: “Pastaim mi pret long toktok long ol elda. Tasol bihain mi pilim olsem wanpela i rausim hevipela samting i stap long solda bilong mi. Nau mi pilim olsem mi inap toktok long Jehova na i no gat wanpela samting i pasim mi.” Long nau, maus bilong bel bilong Daniel i stap klin, na ol i makim em long kamap kongrigesen sevan.
‘RANAWE I GO LONG TAUN NA HAIT’
10. Man i popaia na kilim narapela i mas mekim wanem?
10 Man i popaia na kilim narapela i dai i mas mekim sampela samting bambai God i ken marimari long em. Em i mas ranawe i go long taun i stap klostu na hait long en. (Ritim Josua 20:4.) Dispela man i mas ranawe i go kwik long dispela taun bilong hait bambai ol i no ken kilim em! Dispela i makim olsem em i mas lusim sampela samting bilong em yet na go hait. Em i mas lusim wok mani bilong em, haus bilong em, na fridom bilong em long raun. Em bai stap long dispela taun bilong hait inap long hetpris i dai. * (Nam. 35:25) Em i mas mekim olsem bambai em inap lukautim laip bilong em. Sapos em i lusim taun bilong hait, i olsem em i no tingim laip bilong man em i bin kilim, na tu, em i no tingim laip bilong em yet.
11. Kristen i tanim bel i mas mekim wanem bilong soim olsem em i pilim tru pasin marimari bilong God?
11 Sapos Kristen i mekim rong na em i laik bai God i marimari long em, orait em i mas mekim sampela samting. Em i mas tanim bel na lusim pasin nogut em i bin mekim, dispela i makim tu ol liklik rong we inap kirapim em long mekim ol bikpela rong. Holi spirit i kirapim aposel Pol long stori long pasin bilong ol Kristen long Korin husat i tanim bel. Em i tok: “Dispela bel hevi i stret wantaim laik bilong God i kamapim ol gutpela samting. Yupela i bin kirap kwik long stretim dispela hevi, yes yupela i kamapim olsem yupela i no gat asua, na yupela i bin kros long dispela rong i bin kamap, yupela i pret long God, na yupela i laik tru long tanim bel, na yupela i givim bel tru, na yupela i stretim rong!” (2 Kor. 7:10, 11) Taim Kristen i mekim ol samting bilong soim olsem em i tanim bel, em i kamapim klia long Jehova olsem em i pilim tru pasin marimari bilong em.
12. Kristen i mas lusim wanem ol samting bambai God inap marimari long em?
12 Kristen i mas lusim wanem ol pasin bambai God inap marimari long em? Em i mas redi long lusim sampela samting em i laikim tumas bambai em inap abrusim pasin bilong mekim rong. (Mat. 18:8, 9) Sapos sampela pren i save kirapim yu long mekim ol samting em Jehova i no amamas long en, yu bai stap yet olsem pren bilong ol? Sapos yu wok strong long daunim pasin bilong dring spak, yu redi long abrusim ol samting we inap kirapim yu long dring planti? Sapos yu wok strong long daunim ol laik bilong mekim pasin pamuk, yu wok long sakim ol muvi, ol Web-sait, o ol narapela samting we inap kirapim yu long kisim ol laik nogut? Tingim olsem Jehova i luksave long hatwok bilong yu long lusim ol dispela pasin na stap gut long em. Yu bai bel hevi tru sapos God i no orait long yu. Tasol taim yu save olsem God i “laikim yu tru na mekim gut long yu,” dispela bai mekim yu amamas.—Ais. 54:7, 8.
‘RANAWE I GO LONG WANPELA TAUN NA HAIT’
13. Bilong wanem man i go i stap long taun bilong hait i no ga wok long pret long ol birua?
13 Taim man i ranawe i go hait long taun, ol birua i no inap bagarapim em. Jehova i tok, sapos wanpela man i popaia na kilim narapela, orait “em i ken ranawe i go long wanpela bilong ol dispela taun na hait.” (Jos. 20:2, 3) Jehova i tokaut olsem ol hetman i no ken kotim dispela man long wankain rong em i bin mekim. Na tu, wanblut bilong man i dai i no ken kam insait long taun na kilim i dai dispela man. Olsem na man i hait long taun i no gat wok long pret olsem ol birua bai kilim em. Taim em i stap long dispela taun, Jehova i lukautim em na em i stap gut. Dispela taun i no olsem wanpela haus kalabus. Dispela man inap mekim ol wok, helpim ol narapela, na mekim wok bilong Jehova. Tru tumas, em bai stap amamas na laip bilong em bai gutpela!
14. Taim Kristen i tanim bel, em i ken bilip tru long wanem samting?
14 Sampela wokman bilong God i mekim ol bikpela rong na ol i tanim bel, tasol ol i pilim olsem maus bilong bel i kotim ol yet na oltaim Jehova bai tingim rong ol i mekim. Sapos yu pilim olsem, yu ken bilip tru olsem taim Jehova i fogivim yu, em bai no tingim gen rong yu mekim! Daniel em yumi stori pinis long en, em i pilim tru dispela tok. Bihain long em i kisim helpim long ol elda na maus bilong bel i stap klin, em i tok: “Mi pilim olsem mi inap pulim win gen. Bihain long ol elda i helpim mi, bel i no kotim mi moa. Taim God i lusim rong bilong yu, em i lusim olgeta. Jehova i tok olsem em bai lusim rong bilong yu na putim i go longwe tru. Yu no inap tingim gen dispela samting.” Taim man i ranawe i go long wanpela taun, i no gat wok long em i pret long ol birua bai kam kilim em. Olsem tasol, maski yumi mekim wanpela bikpela rong, sapos yumi tanim bel long rong yumi mekim, Jehova bai fogivim yumi. Em i no inap tru long tingim gen dispela rong o kotim yumi gen long dispela rong.—Ritim Song 103:8-12.
15, 16. Olsem wanem wok bilong Jisas olsem Man Bilong Baim Bek yumi na Hetpris i strongim bilip bilong yu olsem God bai fogivim yu?
15 Yumi ken bilip tru olsem Jehova bai marimari long yumi olsem em i bin mekim long lain Israel. Bihain long Pol i kamapim bel hevi bilong em long em i no bihainim olgeta tok bilong Jehova, em i tok: “Mi tenkyu long God long rot bilong Jisas Krais, Bikpela bilong yumi!” (Rom 7:25) Maski Pol i tanim bel, em i bin pilim nogut tru. Tasol em i bilip tru olsem long rot bilong Jisas, God bai fogivim em. Jisas i stap Man Bilong Baim Bek yumi, olsem na em bai mekim maus bilong bel bilong yumi i kamap klin na yumi bai i stap bel isi. (Hib. 9:13, 14) Jisas i stap olsem Hetpris bilong yumi, “olsem na em inap tru long kisim bek ol manmeri i kam long God long rot bilong em, long wanem, oltaim em i stap laip bai em i ken beten bilong helpim ol.” (Hib. 7:24, 25) Ol hetpris long taim bilong Israel i save helpim ol manmeri bambai God i fogivim ol. Olsem na yumi ken bilip tru olsem long rot bilong Hetpris bilong yumi Jisas, “[God] i ken marimari long yumi na mekim bikpela pasin helpim long yumi long taim stret.”—Hib. 4:15, 16.
16 Yumi mas bilip long ofa bilong Jisas bambai Jehova inap fogivim yumi. Ofa bilong Jisas i gat strong long helpim olgeta manmeri. Yu ken bilip tru olsem pe bilong baim bek man em bilong helpim yu. (Gal. 2:20, 21) Yu mas bilip olsem long rot bilong pe bilong baim bek man, God bai fogivim ol rong bilong yu. Na tu, yu ken bilip tru olsem pe bilong baim bek man bai helpim yu long kisim laip oltaim. Ofa bilong Jisas i olsem presen Jehova i givim long yu.

Story 55: Wanfala Smol Boy Servem God
DISFALA smol boy hem luk naes tumas, iaman? Nem bilong hem Samuel. And man wea putim hand bilong hem long hed bilong Samuel hem hae priest bilong Israel, E′li. Tufala wea tekem Samuel kam long Eli hem dadi bilong Samuel El‧ka′nah and mami bilong hem Han′nah.
Samuel hem foa or faev year nomoa. Bat hem bae stap long hia long tabernacle bilong Jehovah witim E′li and olketa narafala priest. Why nao El‧ka′nah and Han′nah want for givim Samuel wea young tumas for servem Jehovah long tabernacle?
Tu-thri year bifor diswan, Han′nah hem feel sorre tumas. Diswan from hem no savve garem eni baby, and hem laekem tumas for garem wanfala baby. So wanday taem Han′nah hem visitim tabernacle bilong Jehovah, hem prea olsem: ‘O Jehovah, no forgetim mi! Sapos iu givim mi wanfala son, mi promis for givim hem long iu for servem iu long full laef bilong hem.’
Jehovah ansarem prea bilong Han′nah, and samfala month bihaen hem bornem Samuel. Han′nah barava lovem boy bilong hem, and hem start for teachim hem abaotem Jehovah taem hem barava smol yet. Hem talem hasband bilong hem: ‘Taem Samuel hem no needim susu moa, mi bae tekem hem long tabernacle for servem Jehovah long there.’
Hem nao samting wea iu lukim Han′nah and El‧ka′nah olketa duim long piksa. And from dadi and mami bilong hem barava teachim hem gud, hem hapi for servem Jehovah hia long tent bilong Jehovah. Evri year, Han′nah and El‧ka′nah kam for worship long disfala spesol tent, and for visitim smol boy bilong olketa. And evri year Han′nah tekem kam wanfala niu coat wea hem wakem for Samuel.
Taem olketa year go pas, Samuel hem gohed for serve long tabernacle bilong Jehovah, and Jehovah and olketa pipol laekem hem tumas. Bat olketa son bilong hae priest E′li, Hoph′ni and Phin′e‧has olketa nogud man. Olketa duim plande nogud samting, and olketa mekem narafala pipol no obeyim Jehovah tu. E′li shud aotem olketa from waka olsem priest, bat hem no duim.
Young Samuel no letem eni nogud samting wea gohed long tabernacle for mekem hem finis for servem Jehovah. Bat from tu-thri pipol nomoa really lovem Jehovah, hem no toktok long eni man for plande year finis. Taem Samuel hem grow big lelebet, wanem samting nao hem happen?
Samuel hem sleep long tabernacle taem wanfala voice mekem hem wekap. Hem ansa olsem: ‘Mi long hia.’ And hem getap and ran go long E′li, and sei: ‘Iu kolem mi, mi long hia.’
Bat E′li hem sei: ‘Mi no kolem iu; go bak long bed.’ So Samuel go bak long bed.
Then mek-tu taem moa voice hia kolem hem: ‘Samuel!’ So Samuel getap and ran go moa long E′li and sei: ‘Iu kolem mi, mi long hia.’ Bat E′li hem sei: ‘Mi no kolem iu, son bilong mi. Leidaon moa.’ So Samuel go bak long bed.
Voice hia hem singaot for mek-thri taem, ‘Samuel!’ So Samuel ran go long E′li and sei: ‘Mi long hia, for sure, distaem iu kolem mi.’ E′li savve nao hao masbi Jehovah nao wan wea kolem hem. So hem sei long Samuel: ‘Go and leidaon moa, and sapos hem kolem iu moa, iu mas sei: “Iu tok, Jehovah, from servant bilong iu hem lisin.”’
So hem nao wanem Samuel talem taem Jehovah hem kolem hem moa. Then Jehovah talem Samuel abaotem hao hem bae panisim E′li and olketa son bilong hem. Bihaen, Hoph′ni and Phin′e‧has olketa dae long faet witim olketa Phi‧lis′tine, and taem E′li herem samting wea happen hem foldaon, brekem nek bilong hem and dae tu. So toktok bilong Jehovah kamap tru.
Samuel hem growap, and hem kamap lastfala judge bilong Israel. Taem hem kamap olo, olketa pipol askem hem: ‘Chusim wanfala king for rul ovarem mifala.’ Samuel no want for duim diswan, bikos Jehovah nao hem really king bilong olketa. Bat Jehovah talem hem for lisin long olketa pipol.

Wetem ol koling mo ol rilis we Fas Presidensi i jes anaonsem, mi wantem toktok long bihaf blong evriwan mo talem se bae yumi tingbaot mo lavem oltaem olgeta we oli bin fetful blong wok wetem yumi, semmak olsem yumi lavem mo welkamem olgeta we oli kam holem ofis naoia. Hat blong yumi i talem tangkyu long evriwan long yufala.
Mi wantem tokbaot parabol blong wan masta, “we hem i go eli moning blong tekem sam man blong oli kam wok.” Afta we hem i tekem fas grup long 6 klok moning, hem i gobak long 9 klok moning, mo long 12 klok medeldei, mo bakegen long 3 klok long aftenun blong tekem moa man blong kam wok, from oli mas pikimap kaekae kwiktaem. Skripja i talem se hem i kambak long wan las taem, “samples long 11 aoa” (we i 5 klok aftenun), mo i tekem sam moa man bakegen we i las grup. Afta, jes wan aoa afta nomo, evri wokman oli kam tugeta long wanples blong kasem pei blong olgeta. I wan sapraes. Evriwan i kasem sem pei nomo, nomata long hamas aoa oli bin wok. Wantaem nomo, olgeta faswan oli bin kros, mo talem: “Olgeta ya oli jes kam, oli wok wan aoa nomo, be mifala i wok ful dei long big san ya.”1 Taem yu ridim parabol ia, ating yu, semmak olsem ol wokman ia, i filim se samting i no stret long ples ia. Bae mi tokbaot smol poen ia.
Faswan, hem i impoten blong luk se i no gat wan we oli mekem nogud long hem long ples ia. Ol fas wokman oli bin agri blong kasem ful pei blong dei ia, mo oli kasem ful pei. Antap long hemia, mi ting se oli bin glad tumas blong kasem wok. Long taem blong Sevya, wan man mo famle blong hem we i kasem gud mane, i no save mekem moa samting, be oli laef nomo long wanem oli winim long wan dei. Sapos yu no wok, o wok long garen, o go huk, o salem samting, bae yu no save kakae. I gat moa man blong wok bitim we i gat wok, mo ol fas wokman ia oli laki tumas aot long ful grup blong man blong wok, long moning ia.
I tru, sapos yumi mas sore long sam man, bae i yumi mas sore long ol man ia we oli no bin jusum olgeta, mo olgeta tu oli gat famle blong fidim mo ol bak blong putum klos long hem. Laki i neva stap wetem olgeta. Wetem evri visit blong masta ia truaot long dei, oltaem oli luk nara man i go wok.
Be, taem we dei i stap blong go finis, masta i gobak nambafaef taem wetem wan wok blong mekem long 5 klok aftenun! Olgeta las wokman we oli slakem tingting finis, oli harem nomo se bae oli pem olgeta i stret, oli akseptem wok mo oli no save se bae oli pem olgeta hamas, be oli save nomo se i moa gud blong gat wan smol samting bitim nating, from se oli bin gat nating long fastaem. Afta, taem oli kam tugeta blong kasem pei, oli bin sapraes tumas blong kasem sem pei olsem ol narafala man blong wok! Hemia bae oli sapraes mo oli talem tangkyu bigwan tu! Ating i tru, neva oli bin luk lav mo sore olsem long samtaem we oli bin stap wok.
Hem i wetem save ia nao we yumi mas lukluk long komplen blong ol fas wokman. Taem masta insaed long parabol i talem long olgeta (mo mi katem sot smol nomo): “Maefren. Mi mi no ravem yu. Yu yu agri long mi finis, blong yu wok wan ful dei blong wan gud pei. Yufala i bin hapi blong kasem wok, mo mi hapi long hao yufala i wok. Mi pem yufala fulwan. Tekem pei blong yu mo glad long blesing. Long ol narawan, yes, mi fri blong mekem wanem mi wantem wetem mane blong mi.” Afta kwestin ia we i stikim eniwan long tetaem ia mo naoia, we i nidim blong harem: “From wanem yu jalus long ol man ya we mi mi kaen long olgeta?”
Ol brata mo sista. Bae i gat ol taem long laef blong yumi taem wan narawan i kasem wan blesing we yumi no ting, o i kasem wan ona. Mi askem yufala blong yufala i no harem nogud—mo yufala i no jalus—taem gud samting i hapen long narafala man. Yumi no go daon taem wan narawan i kam antap. Yumi no stap resis agensem wanwan long yumi blong luk se hu i gat fulap mane, o gat moa talen, o i moa naes, o i gat moa blesing. Resis we yumi staptru insaed long hem, hem i agensem sin, mo i tru, jalus i wan long ol sin blong yunives.
Antap long hemia, fasin blong jalus i wan mistek we i stap gohed blong kam nomo oltaem. Yes, yumi safa smol taem sam nogud samting i hapen long yumi, be jalus i nidim yumi blong yumi safa long ol gud samting we i hapen long evriwan we yumi save! Hemia i no givim gud hop long fiuja ah!—blong no stap hapi evri taem we eniwan raon long yu i gat wan hapi taem! Bae i moa nogud nao long en blong hem, taem yumi faenem se God i gat tugeta fasin ia, i stret mo i gat sore, i givim, long evriwan we i stanap wetem Hem, “evri samting we Hem i gat”2 olsem we skripja i talem. So, lesen nambawan we i kam long plantesen blong Lod: blong kavet, no wantem toktok long man, o daonem nara man, i no leftemap standet blong yu, mo fasin blong tokbaot nogud nara man bae i no mekem yu yu luk gud moa. I gud blong yu stap kaen, mo stap talem tangkyu se God i wan gud man. Hem i wan hapi wei blong laef.
Wan seken poen we mi wantem tekemaot long parabol ia, i nogud mistek we sam i save mekem sapos oli wantem sakemaot pei blong olgeta long en blong dei, from se oli bin wari tumas wetem ol samting we oli ting se oli ol problem we oli kamaot fastaem long dei. Hem i no talem long ples ia se i gat wan i sakemaot mane blong hem long fes blong masta mo i go, i no gat wan samting, be mi ting se i mas gat wan i mekem.
Ol brata mo sista we mi lavem tumas. Wanem i bin hapen long stori ia long 9 klok, o medeldei, o 3 klok i no impoten tumas bitim bigfala gladhat blong pei we oli kasem long en blong dei. Fasin blong developem fet i blong holemtaet yumiwan, blong wok, blong luk wok i go tru, mo letem hadwok we i pas finis—ol truwan mo hemia blong tingting—oli go lus nating from bigfala praes i kamaot. No stap tingbaot bakegen ol olfala problem o harem nogud—we oli abaot yuwan, o neiba blong yu, o iven, mi save ademap, jos ia we i tru mo i laef. Hamas laef blong yu i gud tumas, o laef blong neiba blong yu i gud tumas, o blong gospel blong Jisas Kraes i gud tumas, bae i kamaot long las dei, nating we evriwan oli no luk se i hem i gud tumas long fas ples. So, yu no stap ripripitim samting we i bin hapen long 9 klok moning, taem we gladhat blong God i stap traem blong givim pei blong yu long 6 klok naet—nomata hamas agrimen blong wok i bin hapen truaot long dei ia.
Yumi stap spendem tumas filing mo paoa long saed blong spirit blong stap hang strong long memori blong wan nogud toktok we yumi talem long taem yumi bin smol, o wan samting we waef o hasban i bin talem o mekem 20 yia i pas, we yumi mekem strong tingting blong yumi blong holem olsem poen antap long hed blong hem blong nara 20 yia bakegen; o wan samting long histri blong Jos we i pruvum nomo se ol man blong wol ia bae oli traehad oltaem blong stap gud inaf nomo folem wanem God i wantem olgeta blong stap. Nating we wan nogud samting i no stat wetem yu, long en, i save stap long yu. Mo wanem pei nao bae i stap blong yu taem we bae Lod blong plantesen bae i luk yu long ae blong yu, mo i pemaot yu long en blong dei we yu spenem long wol ia.
Hemia i lidim mi long nambatri mo las poen. Parabol ia—olsem evri parabol—i no abaot ol wokman o ol pei, semmak olsem se ol nara parabol oli no abaot ol sipsip mo ol nani. Hemia i stori abaot gud fasin blong God, fasin blong Hem blong save wet longtaem mo stap fogivim man, mo abaot Atonmen blong Lod Jisas Kraes. Hem i wan stori abaot fasin blong gat gud hat, mo lav mo sore. Hem i wan stori abaot gladhat. Hem i eksampol blong tingting we mi bin harem plante yia i pas, se i tru, samting we God i glad tumas blong mekem olsem God, i blong stap gat sore, speseli long olgeta we oli no ting se oli save kasem, mo plante taem oli ting se oli no naf blong kasem.
Mi no save huia, long bigfala grup we i stap lisin tedei, i nidim blong harem mesej ia blong fogivnes we i kamaot long parabol ia, be nating yu ting se yu let, nating yu ting se yu mestem hamas janis, nating yu filim se yu mekem fulap mistek tumas, o se yu no gat talen, o yu travel i go longwe hamas long hom mo famle mo God, mi testifae long yu, se yu yu notravel yet i go bitim ples ia we tabu lav ia bae i no kasem yu. Hem i no posibol blong yu draon i go daon bitim ples we laet blong Atonmen blong Kraes we i saen long hem.
Nomata yu no memba blong jos yet, o yu bin wan memba bifo mo yu nomo stap, i no gat wan samting, long tufala kes ia, we yu bin mekem finis we oli no save tekemaot. I no gat problem we yu no save winim. I no gat drim, we long taem long wol ia mo long taem we i no save finis, i no save hapen. Nomata sapos yu filim se yu yu lus mo yu las wokman we i kam long 5 klok ia, Lod blong plantesen i stanap i singaot: “Kam long fes blong God we i stap givhan long gladhat blong hem,”3 mo foldaon long leg blong Tabu Wan blong Isrel. Kam mo kakae long lafet ia “we oli no pem mo i no gat praes”4 long tebol blong Lod.
Mi toktok i go speseli long ol hasban mo ol papa, olgeta we oli holem prishud o bae oli kasem prishud, blong mekem olsem Lihae i bin talem: “Wekap! mo girap long das, mo … stap olsem ol man.”5 I no oltaem, be plante taem, ol man nao oli stap jusum blong no ansarem singaot ia blong “ kam joenem ami.”6 Ol woman mo ol pikinini, fulap taem oli wantem mekem. Ol brata. Tekem step. Mekem blong gud blong yufala. Mekem blong gud blong olgeta we oli lavem yufala mo stap prea se bae yu go mekem. Mekem blong gud blong Lod Jisas Kraes, we i bin pem wan bigbigfala praes from fiuja we Hem i wantem yu blong gat.
Ol brata mo sista blong mi we mi lavem tumas. Long yufala i bin gat blesing blong gospel blong plante yia from se yufala i bin laki blong faenem gospel ia eli. Long yufala we i bin kam long gospel sloslo, mo long yufala—we yufala i memba o no memba yet—we yufala i stap holembak yufala yet. Long wanwan long yufala, yuwan mo yufala evriwan, mi testifae long bigfala paoa blong lav blong God we i save mekem man i kam niu bakegen, mo mi testifae long merikel blong gladhat blong Hem. Wari blong Hem, i we bae yu kasem fet ia o nogat, be i no long wanem taem blong dei nao we bae yu kasem.
So, sapos yufala i bin mekem ol kavenan, kipim olgeta. Sapos yu no mekem olgeta, mekem olgeta. Sapos yu bin mekem olgeta, mo brekem olgeta, sakem sin mo stretem.

Tru Tru Wanpela Samting Bilong Man i Stap Laip Yet Taim Bodi i Dai?
TOK NE′PHESH NA PSY·KHE′ LONG BAIBEL
Ating yu inap tingim olsem pastaim ol i bin raitim Baibel long tok Hibru na tok Grik. Tok Hibru ne′phesh na tok Grik psy·khe′ i makim (1) ol manmeri, (2) ol animal, o (3) laip bilong man o bilong animal. Sampela taim Buk Baibel i tanim dispela tok psy·khe′ olsem tewel. (1 Tesalonaika 5:23; Hibru 4:12) Tasol dispela i no stret. Dispela tok ne′phesh na psy·khe′ i stap winim 800 taim long Baibel. Nau yumi ken skelim sampela skripsa i kamapim dispela tripela mining bilong tok ne′phesh na psy·khe′.
Ol manmeri. “Long taim bilong Noa…liklik lain tasol, inap 8-pela manmeri [psy·khe′], ol i bin i go antap long sip na bikpela wara i karim ol i go na God i kisim bek ol na ol i stap gut.” (1 Pita 3:20) Long dispela ves ol i tanim tok Grik psy·khe′ olsem manmeri—em Noa, meri bilong em, tripela pikinini man bilong em, na meri bilong ol. Kisim Bek 16:16 i kamapim tok bilong Jehova long lain Israel long olsem wanem ol i mas bungim mana. Em i tok: “Yupela wan wan i mas bungim inap long…olgeta man meri pikinini [ne′phesh] i stap long haus bilong yupela.” Olsem na ol i mas bungim mana inap long skel bilong hamas manmeri i stap long wan wan famili. Sampela narapela ves bilong Baibel i tanim tok ne′phesh na psy·khe′ olsem manmeri o man, i stap long Stat 46:18; Josua 11:11; Aposel 27:37; na Rom 13:1.
Ol animal. Baibel i stori long taim God i bin wokim olgeta samting: “God i tok olsem, ‘Solwara i mas pulap long ol kain kain samting i gat laip [ne′phesh]. Na ol pisin i mas kamap na flai nabaut long skai.’ Bihain God i tok olsem, ‘Graun i mas kamapim ol kain kain samting i gat laip [ne′phesh]. Em i mas kamapim ol animal bilong ples na ol bikpela na liklik animal bilong bus.’ Orait ol animal i kamap.” (Stat 1:20, 24) Long ol dispela ves Baibel i kolim seim tok Hibru—ne′phesh—bilong makim ol pis, ol animal em man i save lukautim, na ol wel animal. Long Stat 9:10; Wok Pris 11:46; na Namba 31:28 i gat tok ne′phesh bilong makim ol pisin na ol narapela animal.
Laip bilong man. Sampela taim tok ne′phesh na psy·khe′ i makim laip bilong man. Jop i tok: “I no gat as long mi i stap moa, olsem na bilong wanem mi stap bel isi? I moa gut sapos laip [ne′phesh] bilong mi i pinis.” (Jop 6:11) Satan i sutim tok long Jehova olsem, sapos hevi i painim Jop em bai “givim olgeta samting bilong en bilong baim bek laip [ne′phesh] bilong en.” (Jop 2:4) Tingim tu tok Jisas i mekim: “Mi yet mi gutpela wasman bilong ol sipsip. Gutpela wasman bilong sipsip em i save lusim laip [psy·khe′ ] bilong em yet bilong helpim ol sipsip.” (Jon 10:11) Jisas i givim psy·khe′, o laip bilong em, bilong helpim ol manmeri. Long ol dispela ves bilong Baibel, tok ne′phesh na psy·khe′ i makim laip bilong man. Sampela narapela ves i yusim tok ne′phesh na psy·khe′ bilong makim laip bilong man, i stap long 1 King 17:17-23; Matyu 10:39; Jon 15:13; na Aposel 20:10.
Taim yu stadi moa long Baibel, bai yu lukim olsem i no gat wanpela hap long Baibel i yusim tok ne′phesh na psy·khe′ wantaim sampela tok i makim samting i no inap dai o samting i stap inap oltaim oltaim. Nogat. Baibel i tok ne′phesh em i samting i save dai. (Esekiel 18:4, 20) Olsem na Baibel i kamapim olsem man i dai pinis, em i wanpela ne′phesh i dai pinis.—Wok Pris 21:11.
TOK RU′ACH NA PNEU′MA OLSEM I STAP LONG BAIBEL
Buk Baibel i tanim tok Hibru ru′ach na tok Grik pneu′ma olsem samting i gat laip, win, o spirit. Ol tok ples bilong bipo tru ol i bin raitim Baibel long en i soim olsem tok ru′ach na pneu′ma i makim strong bilong laip i stap long ol man na animal. Olsem: Song 104:29 i tok: “Yu givim baksait long ol na ol i save pret. Na taim yu rausim win [ru′ach] long ol, ol i dai na kamap graun gen.” Na Luk 8:55 i tok olsem “spirit [pneu′ma] bilong dispela pikinini em i kam bek long em, na kwiktaim em i kirap.” Long ol dispela ves tok ru′ach na pneu′ma i makim dispela samting i givim laip long bodi. Sapos bodi i no gat dispela samting, em i dai pinis. Olsem na Baibel New World Translation i tanim tok ru′ach olsem spirit, na tu, olsem strong bilong laip. Olsem: Stat 6:17 i tok long Bikpela Tait long taim bilong Noa: “Bai mi mekim bikpela tait i kamap long graun bilong bagarapim olgeta samting i gat strong bilong laip [ru′ach ].” (Stat 7:15, 22, NW ) Olsem na ru′ach na pneu′ma i makim wanpela strong yumi no inap lukim na i mekim ol man na animal i stap laip.
Bodi i mas i gat strong bilong laip [ru′ach o pneu′ma] wankain olsem redio i mas i gat pawa bilong em i ken wok. Tingim wanpela redio yu inap karim raun. Taim yu putim ol bateri long dispela redio na onim, pawa i stap long ol bateri i kirapim redio, i olsem dispela pawa i givim laip long en. Tasol sapos i no gat ol bateri, redio i dai. Na redio i save wok long pawa em tu bai dai sapos yu rausim pawa rop i pulim pawa i kam long en. Na olsem tasol, bilong bodi i no ken i dai, strong bilong laip i mas i stap long en. Na olsem pawa, dispela spirit [ru′ach o pneu′ma] i no pilim wanpela samting na i no inap tingting. Em i wanpela strong tasol. Tasol sapos yumi no gat dispela spirit, o strong bilong laip, bodi bilong yumi “i dai na kamap graun gen,” olsem man bilong raitim song i tok.
Saveman 12:7 i tok long dai bilong man, olsem: “Bodi bilong yupela bai i kamap graun gen, na spirit [ru′ach] God i bin givim yupela bai i go bek long God.” Taim spirit, o strong bilong laip, i lusim bodi, dispela bodi i dai na i go bek long ples em i kam long en—graun. Na olsem tasol, strong bilong laip i go bek long ples em i kam long en—God. (Jop 34:14, 15; Song 36:9) Dispela i no makim olsem tru tru strong bilong laip i raun i go bek long heven. Nogat. Em i makim olsem taim man i dai, God Jehova tasol inap givim laip gen long dispela man long bihain. I olsem laip bilong em i stap long han bilong God. God tasol i gat strong long givim bek dispela spirit, o strong bilong laip, long dispela man bambai em i ken stap laip gen.
Em i mekim gut bel bilong yumi long save olsem God bai mekim dispela samting long ol man i slip long matmat! (Jon 5:28, 29) Long taim bilong kirap bek, Jehova bai wokim nupela bodi long ol man i slip long matmat na givim laip long dispela bodi long rot bilong putim spirit, o strong bilong laip, insait long en. Em i taim bilong bikpela amamas tru!

Taem oli askem hem olsem wanem hem i bin lidim Jos, hem i eksplenem se hem i bin tijim ol stret prinsipol mo ol memba oli yusum blong lukaotem mo lidim olgetawan.14 Ol brata mo sista. Ol aposol mo profet blong yumi tedei oli stap tijim yet ol stret prinsipol. Kwestin hem i: “?Yumi stap yusum olgeta prinsipol ia o no blong lukaotem mo lidim yumiwan?”
Wan samting we oli stap tijim oltaem long yumi, i blong yumi kam antap fulwan long eni ples we yumi stap long hem.

Wei blong Lod hem i blong yumi harem ol tijing blong ol lida blong yumi, andastanem ol stret prinsipol, mo lukaotem yumiwan.
I Impoten Tumas
Wetem evri samting we i stap hapen long Jos tedei, mo taem we Lod i stap muvum kwik wok blong Hem long evri situesen, !hem i moa impoten se yumi mekem evri samting we yumi mekem long wei blong Hem!
Speseli long wok blong sevem man, yumi lanem se “tru long presen blong Pikinini blong hem, God i bin mekem rere wan rod we i moa gud tumas” (Ita 12:11). Doktrin blong Kraes, “hemia i rod; mo i nogat wan narafala rod o nem we oli givim andanit long heven we tru long hem ol man i save sev long kingdom blong God” (2 Nifae 31:21).
Las Toktok
Taem we yumi luk plante pipol long wol tedei i laef folem fasin blong gat tu tingting, o moa nogud, folem ol rod we i no stret, mo safa from ol risal we oli kasem taem oli jusum rong, i mekem mi wantem singaot olsem Alma i bin mekem:

CHAPTER 49
Preach Long Galilee and Trainim Olketa Aposol
MATTHEW 9:35–10:15 MARK 6:6-11 LUKE 9:1-5
JESUS GO PREACH MOA LONG GALILEE
HEM SENDEM OLKETA APOSOL FOR PREACH
Jesus waka hard for preach for samting olsem tufala year finis. Waswe, hem savve isisi nao and relax nomoa? Jesus no duim olsem. Hem “go long evri taon and vilij [long Galilee]. Hem teach long olketa sinagog and hem preachim datfala gud nius abaotem Kingdom and hem healim enikaen sik wea pipol garem.” (Matthew 9:35) Taem hem gohed for preach, hem luksavve staka pipol needim datfala gud nius. Bat wanem nao bae hem duim mekem olketa herem datfala message?
Taem Jesus kasem olketa difren ples, hem lukim pipol wea needim comfort and for savve long olketa tru teaching abaotem God. Olketa olsem olketa sheepsheep wea no garem eni man for lukaftarem olketa, wea garekil and stap olobaot. Hem sorre long olketa and sei long olketa disaepol: “Staka samting nao stap for harvestim, bat no staka wakaman stap for duim datwan. So askem man wea ownim planteison for sendem go olketa wakaman for harvestim planteison bilong hem.”—Matthew 9:37, 38.
Jesus savve wanem for duim for helpem olketa. Hem kolem kam 12-fala aposol and divaedem olketa. Hem markem tufala for waka tugeta and sei long olketa: “No go long pipol wea no Jew, and no go long eni taon long Samaria, bat go long pipol bilong Israel nomoa, wea olsem olketa sheepsheep wea lus. Taem iufala go, iufala preach and sei: ‘Kingdom bilong God hem kam klosap nao.’”—Matthew 10:5-7.
Olketa aposol bae preach abaotem Kingdom wea Jesus storyim long datfala Lord’s Prea. Olketa savve sei ‘Kingdom hem kam klosap nao’ bikos King wea God markem, Jesus Christ, hem stap witim olketa. Bat wanem nao bae pruvim olketa aposol stand for datfala Kingdom? Jesus givim paoa long olketa for healim olketa wea sik and mekem pipol wea dae for laef bak. Olketa no askem selen for datwan tu. So hao nao bae olketa kasem kaikai and olketa nara samting wea olketa needim?
Jesus talem olketa disaepol for no tekem eni gold, silver, or copper selen long paos bilong olketa for disfala gogo bilong olketa. And tu, olketa shud no tekem eni kaleko, sandol, or eni basket for kaikai bilong olketa. Why nao olsem? Jesus sei: “Wakaman fit for kasem kaikai.” (Matthew 10:10) Pipol wea tinghae long message bilong olketa bae givim wanem olketa needim. Jesus sei: “Taem iufala go long eni ples and samwan hem welkamim iufala for stap long haos bilong hem, stap long there go kasem taem iufala lusim datfala ples.”—Mark 6:10.
Jesus talem olketa tu wanem for duim taem olketa go for preach long haos bilong pipol. Hem sei: “Taem iufala go insaed wanfala haos, sei hello long olketa long haos. Sapos olketa acceptim iufala for kam, bae olketa kasem gud samting, bat sapos nomoa, bae olketa no kasem gud samting. Sapos eniwan no welkamim iufala or no laek for herem toktok bilong iufala, lusim olketa. Taem iufala lusim datfala taon or datfala haos, aotem dust from leg bilong iufala.”—Matthew 10:12-14.
Maet evriwan long wanfala taon or vilij les long message wea olketa talemaot. Wanem nao bae happen long olketa pipol olsem? Jesus sei bae God panisim olketa. Hem sei: “Mi talem iufala tru samting: Long taem wea God judgem evriwan, panis wea pipol long datfala taon kasem bae worse winim panis wea pipol long Sodom and Gomorrah kasem.”—Matthew 10:15.

I Stret Ol Kristen i Yusim Kruse Taim Ol i Lotu?
PLANTI milion manmeri i save adorim na rispektim kruse. Wanpela buk (The Encyclopædia Britannica) i tok, kruse “em i nambawan bikpela mak bilong lotu Kristen.” Tasol i stret ol Kristen i yusim kruse taim ol i lotu?
Tingim dispela: Jisas Krais i no dai long kruse. Tok Grik ol i save tanim olsem “kruse” em stau·ros′. Mining bilong dispela tok em “pos i sanap.” Wanpela buk (The Companion Bible) i tok: “[Stau·ros′] i no makim tupela hap diwai em narapela i slip saitwei antap long narapela…I no gat wanpela tok long tok Grik bilong [Nupela Testamen] i makim tupela hap diwai.”
Long sampela skripsa, ol man bilong raitim Baibel ol i yusim narapela tok bilong makim samting Jisas i dai long en. Em tok Grik xy′lon. (Aposel 5:30; 10:39; Galesia 3:13) Dispela tok i makim “plang” o “stik, o diwai.”

Olsem na ol i sanapim wanpela pos long graun. Long dispela pos ol i hangamapim ol raskol, ol i save nilim o pasim han na lek bilong ol long rop.”
Tasol Baibel i kamapim klia tru dispela samting. Aposel Pol i tok: “Lo em i tok olsem, yumi olgeta man i no bihainim olgeta tok bilong lo, yumi mas bagarap. Tasol bilong helpim yumi, Krais yet i kisim dispela nem ‘man bilong bagarap’ na em i kisim bek yumi. Buk bilong God i tok olsem, ‘Olgeta man i hangamap long diwai, God i lukim ol olsem man bilong bagarap tasol.’ ” (Galesia 3:13) Pol i kolim tok bilong Lo 21:22, 23, em dispela skripsa i tok long pos, na i no tok long kruse.

Tasol bihain liklik, haiden Empera Constantine i kirap bihainim lotu Kristen i tromoi pinis trupela bilip na em i kamapim tingting bilong yusim kruse olsem mak bilong dispela lotu.

Wanem mining bilong visen bilong Esekiel long man i holim ol samting bilong rait na arapela 6-pela man i holim bainat na ol narapela samting bilong kilim man?
Ol dispela man i olsem piksa bilong lain ami long heven em ol i bagarapim Jerusalem, na tu, ol bai bagarapim graun nogut bilong Satan long pait bilong Armagedon. Bilong wanem dispela nupela save i stret?
Bihain long Esekiel i lukim pasin nogut ol man i mekim long Jerusalem paslain long bagarap i kamap long 607 B.C.E., em i lukim visen bilong ol samting bai kamap na Jerusalem i bagarap. Em i lukim 6-pela man i kam wantaim bainat na ol narapela samting bilong kilim man. Na tu, em i lukim narapela man i kam wantaim ol, “em i pasim gutpela laplap” na em i holim “ol samting bilong rait.” (Ese. 8:6-12; 9:2, 3) God i tokim dispela man: “Yu go long olgeta hap bilong taun . . . na putim mak long pes bilong olgeta manmeri i bel nogut na i wari long olgeta dispela pasin nogut ol wantok i save mekim insait long taun.” Bihain, God i tokim ol man i holim ol samting bilong kilim man long pinisim laip bilong olgeta man insait long taun em ol i no gat mak long poret bilong ol. (Ese. 9:4-7) Dispela driman i skulim yumi long wanem samting? Husat em dispela man i holim ol samting bilong rait?
Esekiel i mekim dispela tok profet long 612 B.C.E., na fes truim i kamap 5-pela yia bihain taim ami bilong Babilon i bagarapim Jerusalem. Maski ol Babilon em lain haiden, Jehova i yusim ol long bagarapim Jerusalem. (Jer. 25:9, 15-18) Ol manmeri long Jerusalem i givim baksait long Jehova, olsem na em i yusim ol Babilon long bagarapim ol. Ol gutpela man i abrusim bagarap, na ol man nogut tasol i bagarap. Jehova i stretim rot long kisim bek ol manmeri i bel hevi long pasin nogut bilong ol arapela insait long taun.
Esekiel i no insait long wok bilong putim mak long ol man na kilim ol man i no gat mak. Ol ensel yet bai kilim ol man i no gat mak. Dispela visen i opim rot na i olsem yumi inap lukim ol samting i kamap long heven. Jehova i tokim ol ensel long tilim ol gutpela man na ol man nogut, na bihain ol i ken bagarapim ol man nogut. *
Long pastaim, yumi tok man i holim ol samting bilong rait i olsem piksa bilong lain remnan. Yumi ting olsem taim ol manmeri i putim gut yau long tok yumi autim, i olsem ol i kisim mak bilong abrusim bagarap. Long nau, yumi kisim nupela save long dispela tok profet. Matyu 25:31-33 i soim klia olsem Jisas bai mekim kot. Em bai mekim laspela kot long taim bilong traipela hevi tru. Em bai tilim ol gutpela manmeri i go long wanpela sait na ol manmeri nogut i go long narapela sait, na ol gutpela manmeri bai abrusim bagarap na em bai bagarapim ol manmeri nogut.
Yumi kisim wanem skul long nupela save yumi kisim long visen bilong Esekiel? Yumi kisim skul long 5-pela samting:
Paslain long Jerusalem i bagarap, Esekiel, na Jeremaia i mekim wok olsem wasman, wankain olsem Aisaia i mekim paslain long ol. Long nau, Jehova i yusim liklik grup bilong ol Kristen em i anointim, na ol i givim kaikai bilong strongim bilip bilong ol manmeri bilong God, na givim tok lukaut long ol narapela paslain long traipela hevi tru i kirap. Ol arapela lain sipsip i bung wantaim ol na mekim dispela tok lukaut.—Mat. 24:45-47.
Esekiel i no mekim wok bilong putim mak long ol manmeri bai abrusim bagarap. Dispela i wankain long wok em lain bilong God i mekim long nau. Ol i tokaut tasol long tok bilong Jehova, na ol ensel i stiaim dispela wok.—Rev. 14:6.
Long taim bilong Esekiel, i no gat man i kisim mak tru long poret bilong em. Dispela i wankain long nau. Ol manmeri i mas mekim wanem bambai ol inap kisim mak bilong abrusim bagarap? Ol i mas harim tok yumi autim na senisim pasin bilong ol na bihainim pasin Kristen, dediket long Jehova, na helpim ol brata bilong Krais long mekim wok. (Mat. 25:35-40) Taim ol i mekim ol dispela samting, ol bai kisim mak bilong abrusim bagarap long traipela hevi tru we i kam klostu pinis.
Long nau, Jisas Krais i stap olsem man i holim ol samting bilong rait na em bai putim mak long ol manmeri husat bai abrusim bagarap. Bikpela lain manmeri bai kisim mak bilong abrusim bagarap taim Jisas i skelim ol olsem sipsip long taim bilong traipela hevi tru. Ol bai kisim laip oltaim hia long graun.—Mat. 25:34, 46. *
Long nau, Jisas na ol ami bilong em long heven i stap olsem 6-pela man i holim bainat na ol narapela samting bilong kilim man, na Jisas i stap lida bilong dispela lain ami. Klostu nau, ol bai bagarapim na pinisim ol lain manmeri bilong dispela graun wantaim pasin nogut bilong ol.—Ese. 9:2, 6, 7; Rev. 19:11-21.
Taim yumi kliagut long ol gutpela skul yumi kisim, dispela bai strongim bilip bilong yumi olsem Jehova i no save bagarapim ol gutpela man na ol man nogut wantaim.
