“Vhurena hau vhu ḓo kona U tshi phalalela vhafulufhedzei.”—PS. 45:4.
1, 2. Ndi ngani ri tshi fanela u vha na dzangalelo kha Psalme ya 45?
KHOSI ya vhugala yo ṋamela bere yayo u itela u lwela ngoho na u luga nahone i bvela phanḓa i tshi kunda maswina ayo. Musi yo no kunda nndwa ya u fhedza, i vhinga muselwa wavhuḓi. Yeneyo khosi i humbulwa na u rendwa nga mirafho yoṱhe i ḓaho. Tshenetsho ndi tshiṱoho tsha Psalme ya 45.
2 Naho zwo ralo, Psalme ya 45 a i sokou vha nganea i takadzaho, ine ya vha na magumo a nyanyulaho. Zwiitea zwo bulwaho khayo ndi zwa ndeme kha riṋe. Zwi kwama vhutshilo hashu ṋamusi na tshifhingani tshi ḓaho. Nga zwenezwo, kha ri ṱolisise nga vhuronwane yeneyi psalme.
3, 4. (a) Ndi lufhio “luimbo lwavhuḓi” lune lwa ri kwama, nahone lu nga kwama hani mbilu dzashu? (b) “Luimbo” lwashu lu amba hani nga ha khosi, nahone lulimi lwashu lu fana hani na peni?
3 Vhalani Psalme ya 45:1. “Luimbo lwavhuḓi” lune lwa kwama mbilu ya mupsalme nahone lwa ita uri i ‘elelwe,’ ndi mafhungo a kwamaho khosi. Ḽiiti ḽa Luheberu ḽo ṱalutshedzelwaho nga uri u “elelwa” ḽi amba “u seluwa” kana “u vhila.” Enea mafhungo o ita uri mupsalme a fhisee nahone a ita uri lulimi lwawe lu nge sa “peni ya muṅwali-makone.”
4 Hu pfi mini nga riṋe? Mafhungo maḓifha a Muvhuso wa Vhumessia ndi mafhungo avhuḓi ane a kwama mbilu dzashu. Mulaedza wa Muvhuso wo vha ‘wavhuḓi’ zwihuluhulu nga 1914. U bva tsheetsho, wonoyo mulaedza wo vha u si tsha amba nga ha Muvhuso wa tshifhingani tshi ḓaho, fhedzi wo vha u tshi vho amba nga ha hulumeni wa vhukuma une zwino wa khou vhusa ṱaḓulu. Enea ndi “mafhungo maḓifha . . . a Muvhuso” ane ra a huwelela “ḽifhasini ḽoṱhe uri zwi vhe vhuṱanzi kha tshaka dzoṱhe.” (Mat. 24:14) Naa mbilu dzashu dzi “elelwa” mulaedza wa Muvhuso? Naa ri huwelela mafhungo maḓifha a Muvhuso nga u fhisea? U fana na mupsalme, “luimbo” lwashu lu amba nga ha khosi—Khosi yashu Yesu Kristo. Ri ḓivhadza uri ndi Khosi yo vhewaho ṱaḓulu ya Muvhuso wa Vhumessia. Zwiṅwe hafhu, ri ramba vhathu vhoṱhe—vhavhusi na vhavhusiwa—uri vha ḓiṱukufhadzele vhuhosi hawe. (Ps. 2:1, 2, 4-12) Lulimi lwashu lu nga “peni ya muṅwali-makone” nga nṱhani ha uri ri shumisa Ipfi ḽo ṅwalwaho musi ri mushumoni washu wa u huwelela.
Ri huwelela mafhungo maḓifha nga ha Khosi yashu Yesu Kristo, nga dakalo
5. (a) Yesu o vha e “ndele” nga nḓila dzifhio? (b) ‘Vhuḓi vhu re kha mulomo wa Khosi’ ho vhonala hani, nahone ri nga ita hani vhuḓidini ha u edzisa tsumbo yawe?
5 Vhalani Psalme ya 45:2. Maṅwalo ha ambi zwinzhi nga ha tshivhumbeo tsha Yesu. A zwi timatimisi uri o vha e “ndele” samusi o vha e muthu o fhelelaho. Naho zwo ralo, u fulufhedzea hawe kha Yehova ndi zwone zwe zwa mu ita uri a vhe ndele ya vhukuma. Zwiṅwe hafhu, Yesu o shumisa “maipfi a vhulenda” musi a tshi khou huwelela mulaedza wa Muvhuso. (Luka 4:22; Yoh. 7:46) Naa nga muthihi nga muthihi ri ita vhuḓidini ha u tevhela tsumbo yawe musi ri mushumoni wa u huwelela na u lingedza u shumisa maipfi ane a ḓo kwama mbilu dza vhathu?—Vhakol. 4:6.
6. Mudzimu o fhaṱutshedza hani Yesu “lini na lini”?
6 Nga nṱhani ha uri Yesu o vha o ḓiṋekedzela zwi tshi bva mbiluni, Yehova o mu fhaṱutshedza tshifhingani tsha vhuḓinḓa hawe ha kha ḽifhasi, nahone a mu lambedza musi o no fa lufu lwa tshiṱhavhelo. Muapostola Paulo o ṅwala uri: “Musi [Yesu] a tshi vha muthu, o ḓiṱukufhadza na u thetshelesa u swika a tshi fa kha danda ḽa tshengedzo. Nga nṱhani ha zwenezwo, Mudzimu o dovha a mu hulisa a mu ṋea vhuimo ha nṱha nahone nga vhuthu a mu ṋea dzina ḽi fhiraho madzina oṱhe, uri nga dzina ḽa Yesu muṅwe na muṅwe a gwadame—vhane vha vha ngei ṱaḓulu na vhane vha vha kha ḽifhasi na vhane vha vha fhasi ha mavu—na uri muṅwe na muṅwe u fanela u ṱhogomela uri Yesu Kristo ndi Murena, uri hu rendwe Mudzimu ane a vha Khotsi.” (Vhafil. 2:8-11) Yehova o fhaṱutshedza Yesu “lini na lini” nga u mu vusela vhutshiloni ha u sa dovha a fa.—Vharoma 6:9.
7. Mudzimu o ḓodza Yesu a fhira maṅwe “mahosi” nga nḓila-ḓe?
7 Vhalani Psalme ya 45:6, 7. Nga nṱhani ha uri Yesu u funa u luga nahone u vhenga tshiṅwe na tshiṅwe tshine tsha nga nyadzisa Khotsi awe, Yehova o mu ḓodza uri a vhe Khosi ya Muvhuso wa Vhumessia. Yesu o ḓodzwa nga “mapfura a dakalo” a fhira maṅwe “mahosi” ane a vha mahosi a Yuda a re kha mutevhe wa Davida. Nga nḓila-ḓe? Tsha u thoma, Yesu o ḓodzwa nga Yehova nga dzawe. Zwiṅwe hafhu, Yehova o mu ḓodza uri a vhe Khosi na Tshifhe Muhulu. (Ps. 2:2; Vhaheb. 5:5, 6) Yesu ho ngo ḓodzwa nga mapfura, fhedzi o ḓodzwa nga muya mukhethwa nahone vhuhosi hawe a si ha kha ḽifhasi, ndi ha ṱaḓulu.
8. Ndi ngani hu tshi nga ambiwa uri ‘khuluṋoni ya Yesu ndi ya Mudzimu,’ nahone ndi ngani ri tshi nga vha na vhungoho ha uri vhuhosi hawe ho luga?
8 Nga 1914, Yehova o vhea Murwa wawe uri a vhe Khosi ya Vhumessia ngei ṱaḓulu. ‘Lubaḓa lwawe lwa vhuhosi ndi lubaḓa lwa u luga,’ nga zwenezwo, ri na vhungoho ha uri vhuvhusi hawe ho luga nahone vhu na khaṱulokwayo. Vhuvhusi hawe ho tea ngauri ‘khuluṋoni yawe ndi ya Mudzimu.’ Zwenezwo zwi amba uri Yehova ndi ene we a thea vhuhosi hawe. Zwiṅwe hafhu, khuluṋoni ya Yesu ndi ya “lini na lini.” Naa a ni ḓipfi no takala u shumela Yehova nga fhasi ha Khosi yo nangwaho nga Mudzimu i re na maanḓa nga u rali?
9, 10. (a) Kristo o thoma lini u fara pfumo ḽawe, nahone o thoma u ḽi shumisa nga nḓila-ḓe? (b) Kristo u ḓo dovha a shumisa hani pfumo ḽawe?
9 Vhalani Psalme ya 45:3. Yehova u laedza Khosi yawe uri i ‘fare pfumo ḽayo i ḓiṱame,’ nga zwenezwo, u ṋea Yesu maanḓa a u lwa na vhoṱhe vhane vha pikisa vhuvhusahoṱhe ha Mudzimu na u vha haṱula. (Ps. 110:2) Ngauri Kristo ndi Khosi ya Mudziammbi i sa kundwi, u vhidzwa “Muhali.” O fara pfumo ḽawe nga 1914 nahone a kunda Sathane na madimoni awe, vhe a vha pandela ṱaḓulu nahone a vha posela kha ḽifhasi.—Nzumb. 12:7-9.
10 Zwenezwo zwo vha zwi mathomo a gundo ḽa yeneyo Khosi. I kha ḓi fanela u ‘khunyeledza gundo ḽayo.’ (Nzumb. 6:2) Yehova u kha ḓi ḓo haṱula zwipiḓa zwoṱhe zwi re kha ḽifhasi zwa maitele a Sathane, nahone Sathane na madimoni awe vha ḓo fheliswa. Hu ḓo thoma u fheliswa Babele Ḽihulu, muvhuso wa shango wa vhurereli ha mazwifhi. Ndi ndivho ya Yehova u shumisa vhavhusi vha zwa politiki u fhelisa yeneyi “phombwe” mmbi. (Nzumb. 17:16, 17) Nga murahu, Khosi ya Mudziammbi i ḓo vutshela maitele a politiki a Sathane, ya a fhelisa. Kristo, ane a dovha a vhidzwa “muruṅwa wa mugodini,” u ḓo khunyeledza gundo ḽawe nga u posela Sathane na madimoni awe mugodini. (Nzumb. 9:1, 11; 20:1-3) Kha ri vhone nḓila ye Psalme ya 45 ya amba ngayo hu tshee nga phanḓa nga ha zwenezwi zwiitea zwi takadzaho.
11. Kristo u phalalela “vhafulufhedzei” nga nḓila-ḓe?
11 Vhalani Psalme ya 45:4. Khosi ya Mudziammbi a i lwi nndwa ya gundo u itela u thuba mashango na u kunda vhathu. I lwa nndwa ya u luga i na zwipikwa zwavhuḓi. I “phalalela vhafulufhedzei na vho vuḓaho na vho lugaho.” Ngoho ya ndeme vhukuma ine ya fanela u lwelwa ndi ya vhuvhusahoṱhe ha Yehova. Sathane o itela khaedu vhuvhusi ha Yehova musi a tshi mu shandukela. U bva tsheetsho, yeneyo ngoho ya ndeme yo hanedzwa nga madimoni na vhathu. Zwino ndi tshifhinga tsha uri Khosi ya Yehova yo ḓodzwaho i ḓivhadze ngoho nga ha vhuvhusahoṱhe ha Yehova zwino na nga hu sa fheli.
12. Khosi i ‘lamulela vho vuḓaho’ nga nḓila-ḓe?
12 Khosi i dovha ya ‘phalalela vho vuḓaho.’ Sa Murwa mubebwa e eṱhe wa Mudzimu, o ri vhetshela tsumbo yavhuḓi vhukuma ya u vuḓa na u fulufhedzea kha vhuvhusahoṱhe ha Khotsi awe. (Yes. 50:4, 5; Yoh. 5:19) Vhalanda vhoṱhe vha fulufhedzeaho vha Khosi vha fanela u tevhela tsumbo yawe na u ḓiṱukufhadzela vhuvhusahoṱhe ha Yehova kha zwithu zwoṱhe. Vhane vha ita nga u ralo vha ḓo tendelwa u tshila shangoni ḽiswa ḽa Mudzimu ḽo fulufhedziswaho.—Sak. 14:16, 17.
13. Kristo u ḓo dovha a tsireledza “vho lugaho” nga nḓila-ḓe?
13 Kristo u dovha a tsireledza “vho lugaho.” U luga hune Khosi ya hu lwela ndi ‘u luga ha Mudzimu’—zwine zwa vha zwilinganyo zwa Yehova zwa u ita zwithu zwavhuḓi na zwi si zwavhuḓi. (Vharoma 3:21; Doit. 32:4) Yesaya o amba hu tshee nga phanḓa nga ha Khosi Yesu Kristo a ri: “Hu ḓo vhuya ha vhewa khosi ya u vhusa nga zwivhuya.” (Yes. 32:1) Muvhuso wa Yesu u ḓo ḓisa “maṱaḓulu maswa” na “ḽifhasi ḽiswa” zwo fulufhedziswaho, zwine “u luga h[a] ḓo dzula khazwo.” (2 Pet. 3:13) Muṅwe na muṅwe ane a ḓo dzula shangoni ḽiswa u ḓo fanela u tshila u tendelana na zwilinganyo zwa Yehova.—Yes. 11:1-5.
14. Tshanḓa tsha u ḽa tsha Kristo tshi ḓo khunyeledza zwithu “zwi ofhisaho” nga nḓila-ḓe? (Sedzani tshifanyiso tsha u thoma.)
14 Musi Khosi i tshi ṋamela bere tshena, i vha yo ḓiṱama nga pfumo. (Ps. 45:3) Fhedzi hu swika tshifhinga tshine ya ṱomola pfumo nahone ya ḽi fara nga tshanḓa tsha u ḽa. Mupsalme o amba hu tshee nga phanḓa uri: “Tshanḓa tshau tshi ḓo U itisa zwi ofhisaho.” (Ps. 45:4) Musi Yesu Kristo a tshi ḓisa khaṱulo ya Yehova nga Haramagedo, u ḓo khunyeledza zwithu “zwi ofhisaho” kha maswina awe. A ri ḓivhi uri u ḓo shumisa mini u itela u fhelisa maitele a Sathane. Fhedzi zwine Yesu a ḓo zwi ita zwi ḓo ofhisa vhathu vhane vha dzula kha ḽifhasi vhe vha si thetshelese tsevho ya Mudzimu nahone vha si ḓiṱukufhadzele vhuvhusi ha Khosi. (Vhalani Psalme ya 2:11, 12.) Kha vhuporofita hawe ha tshifhinga tsha vhufhelo, Yesu o amba uri vhathu vha ḓo “ṋoka nga nyofho na u lindela zwithu zwine zwa ḓo itea kha ḽifhasi, ngauri na maanḓa a maṱaḓulu a ḓo dzinginyea.” O dovha a ri: “Ndi hone vha tshi ḓo vhona Murwa-muthu a tshi ḓa e kha gole e na maanḓa na vhugala vhuhulu.”—Luka 21:26, 27.
15, 16. Ndi vhafhio vhane vha ḓo vhumba “mavhuthu” ane a ya na Kristo nndwani?
15 Musi bugu ya Nzumbululo i tshi ḓivhadza nga ha u ḓa ha Khosi u itela u haṱula i na “maanḓa na vhugala vhuhulu,” yo ri: “Nda vhona ḽiṱaḓulu ḽo vulea, nda vhona bere tshena. We a vha o i ṋamela o vha a tshi pfi A Fulufhedzeaho na Wa Ngoho, nahone u haṱula na u lwa nndwa yo lugaho. Zwiṅwe hafhu, mavhuthu a ṱaḓulu o vha a tshi khou mu tevhela o ṋamela dzibere tshena, o ambara zwiambaro zwitshena, zwo kunaho, zwavhuḓi. Mulomoni wawe hu tshi bva banga ḽilapfu ḽi re na vhuhali, uri a kone u vhulaha dzitshaka ngaḽo, nahone u ḓo vha lisa nga lubaḓa lwa tsimbi. Zwiṅwe hafhu, u sukekanya nḓirivhe bonḓeloni ḽa waini ya mbiti dza Mudzimu Ramaanḓaoṱhe.”—Nzumb. 19:11, 14, 15.
16 Ndi vhafhio vhane vha ḓo vha vhahali na Kristo vhane vha vhumba “mavhuthu” a ṱaḓulu ane a ya nndwani nae? Musi Yesu a tshi fara pfumo ḽawe u itela u pandela Sathane na madimoni awe ṱaḓulu, o vha e na ‘vharuṅwa vhawe.’ (Nzumb. 12:7-9) Zwi a pfala u phetha nga ḽa uri nga nndwa ya Haramagedo, mavhuthu a Kristo a ḓo katela vharuṅwa vhakhethwa. Naa eneo mavhuthu awe a ḓo katela na vhaṅwe? Yesu o fulufhedzisa vhahawe vho ḓodzwaho a ri: “Kha ane a kunda na ane a tevhedza mishumo yanga u swika vhufheloni ndi ḓo mu ṋea maanḓa kha dzitshaka, nahone u ḓo lisa vhathu nga lubaḓa lwa tsimbi uri vha pwashekane sa midzio ya vumba, vhunga ndo ṋewa zwenezwo nga Khotsi anga.” (Nzumb. 2:26, 27) Ngauralo, mavhuthu a Kristo a ṱaḓulu a ḓo dovha a katela vhahawe vho ḓodzwaho, vhane vha ḓo vha vho wana malamba avho a ṱaḓulu. Vhavhusi ngae vho ḓodzwaho vha ḓo vhusa nae musi a tshi khunyeledza zwithu “zwi ofhisaho,” musi a tshi khou lisa dzitshaka nga lubaḓa lwa tsimbi.
17. (a) Bere tshena ye Kristo a i namela i imela mini? (b) Pfumo na vhura zwi imela mini?
17 Vhalani Psalme ya 45:5. Khosi yo namela bere tshena, ine ya imela nndwa yo kunaho na yo lugaho kha Yehova. (Nzumb. 6:2; 19:11) Nga nnḓa ha pfumo, o shomedzwa nga vhura. Ri a vhala: “Nda lavhelesa, nda vhona bere tshena; we a vha o i ṋamela o vha o fara vhura; a ṋewa khare, a bvela phanḓa a tshi kunda na u khunyeledza gundo ḽawe.” Pfumo na vhura zwi imela nḓila ine Kristo a ḓo i shumisa u itela u haṱula maswina awe.
18. “Misevhe” ya Kristo i ḓo vha hani na “vhuhali”?
18 Mupsalme u shumisa luambo lwa vhurendi u amba hu tshee nga phanḓa uri ‘misevhe ya Khosi ndi ya vhuhali, maswina ayo o lovha’ na uri ‘dzitshakha dzi a i luvha.’ Yeneyo ndozwo i ḓo vha ya ḽifhasi ḽoṱhe. Vhuporofita ha Yeremia ho dzula ho amba uri: “Misi iyo, vho vhulahwaho nga Yehova vha ḓo ḓala hoṱhe vha guma hune shango ḽa guma thungo dzoṱhe.” (Yer. 25:33) Vhuṅwe vhuporofita vhu fanaho vhu ri: “Nda dovha nda vhona muruṅwa o ima kha ḓuvha, a vhidzelela nga ipfi ḽihulu, a amba na zwiṋoni zwoṱhe zwi fhufhaho lutomboni a ri: ‘Iḓani ngeno ni kuvhanganele tshilalelo tshihulu tsha Mudzimu, uri ni ḽe ṋama ya mahosi na ya vhalangammbi na ya vhanna vha maanḓa na ya bere na ya vhaṋameli vhadzo, na ṋama ya vhoṱhe vho vhofholowaho khathihi na ya vhalanda na ya vha vhuimo ha fhasi na ha nṱha.’”—Nzumb. 19:17, 18.
19. Kristo u ḓo khunyeledza gundo ḽawe nga nḓila-ḓe?
19 Nga murahu ha u fhelisa maitele mavhi a zwithu a Sathane kha ḽifhasi, Kristo a re kha ‘vhurena hawe’ u ḓo kunda. (Ps. 45:4) U ḓo khunyeledza gundo ḽawe nga u posela Sathane na madimoni awe mugodini lwa Miṅwaha Ya Tshigidi Ya Vhuvhusi. (Nzumb. 20:2, 3) Samusi Diabolo na vharuṅwa vhawe vha tshi ḓo vha vho fheliswa, vhathu vhane vha tshila kha ḽifhasi vha ḓo vha vho vhofhololwa kha ṱhuṱhuwedzo ya Sathane nahone vha kona u tshila nga fhasi ha vhuvhusi ha Khosi yavho yo kundaho na ya vhurena. Naho zwo ralo, musi vha sa athu vhona shango ḽi tshi shanduka ḽa vha paradiso, vha ḓo vha na tshiṅwe tshiitisi tsha u takala na Khosi yavho na vhane vha ḓo vhusa nayo ṱaḓulu. Tshenetsho tshiitea tshi takadzaho tshi ḓo ṱolisiswa kha thero i tevhelaho.
“Kha ri takale ri pembele . . . ngauri munyanya wa mbingano wa Ngwana wo swika.”—NZUMB. 19:7.
1, 2. (a) Ndi munyanya wa mbingano ya nnyi une wa ḓo ḓisa dakalo ṱaḓulu? (b) Hu takuwa mbudziso dzifhio?
KANZHI zwi dzhia tshifhinga u lugiselela munyanya wa mbingano. Fhedzi ri ḓo livhisa ṱhogomelo kha munyanya wo khetheaho vhukuma—wa vhuhosini. Edzani u humbula! U na miṅwaha i ṱoḓaho u vha 2 000 u tshi khou lugiselelwa. Zwino tshifhinga tsha uri mukwasha a ṱanganywe na muselwa wawe tshi khou sendela nga u ṱavhanya. Hu si kale, muzika u takadzaho u ḓo lila pfamoni ya Khosi nahone mavhuthu a ṱaḓulu a ḓo imba a ri: “Rendani Yah, ngauri Yehova Mudzimu washu, Ramaanḓaoṱhe, o thoma u vhusa sa khosi. Kha ri takale ri pembele ri mu ṋee vhugala, ngauri munyanya wa mbingano wa Ngwana wo swika nahone mufumakadzi wayo o ḓilugisa.”—Nzumb. 19:6, 7.
2 “Ngwana” ine munyanya wayo wa mbingano wa ḓo ḓisa dakalo ṱaḓulu ndi Yesu Kristo. (Yoh. 1:29) O ambara nga nḓila-ḓe u itela wonoyu munyanya? Muselwa wawe ndi nnyi? Nahone o lugiselelwa nga nḓila-ḓe u itela mbingano? Munyanya u ḓo vha ngafhi? Yeneyi mbingano i ḓo ḓisa dakalo ṱaḓulu, fhedzi naa vhane vha vha na fulufhelo ḽa u tshila kha ḽifhasi nga hu sa fheli vha ḓo ṱanganela kha ḽeneḽo dakalo? Ro lavhelela nga maṱo matswuku u wana phindulo dza dzenedzo mbudziso musi ri tshi bvela phanḓa na u ṱolisisa Psalme ya 45.
3, 4. (a) Ndi mini zwine zwa ambiwa nga ha khanzu ya mbingano ya Mukwasha, nahone ndi mini zwine zwa engedza dakalo ḽayo? (b) “Vhananyana vha vhakololo” na “mufumakadzi” vhane vha takala na Mukwasha ndi vhonnyi?
3 Vhalani Psalme ya 45:8, 9. Mukwasha ane a vha Yesu Kristo, u ambara khanzu yawe ya vhugala ya mbingano ya vhuhosi. Nga ho fanelaho, zwiambaro zwawe zwi na munukhelelo wavhuḓi u fanaho na wa “mishonga ya munukho wavhuḓi,” i ngaho sa ṋozhe ya mira na kasia, zwe zwa vha zwi tshi shumiswa u ita mapfura makhethwa a u ḓodza ngei Isiraele.—Ek. 30:23-25.
4 Muzika wa ṱaḓulu une wa pfala pfamoni yawe u engedza dakalo ḽine Mukwasha a vha naḽo samusi mbingano yawe i tshi khou sendela. U takala na “mufumakadzi,” tshipiḓa tsha ṱaḓulu tsha ndangulo ya Mudzimu, tshine tsha katela na “vhananyana vha vhakololo,” vhane vha vha vharuṅwa vhakhethwa. Zwi takadza lungafhani u pfa maipfi a bvaho ṱaḓulu a tshi ri: “Kha ri takale ri pembele . . . ngauri munyanya wa mbingano wa Ngwana wo swika”!
5. “Mufumakadzi wa Ngwana” ndi nnyi?
5 Vhalani Psalme ya 45:10, 11. Ro no ṱalula Mukwasha, fhedzi muselwa ndi nnyi? Ndi muselwa o vhumbwaho nga miraḓo ya tshivhidzo ine ya rangwa phanḓa nga Yesu Kristo. (Vhalani Vhaefesa 5:23, 24.) I ḓo vha tshipiḓa tsha Muvhuso wa Kristo wa Vhumessia. (Luka 12:32) Vhenevha Vhakriste vho ḓodzwaho nga muya vha 144 000, “vha dzula vha tshi tevhela Ngwana huṅwe na huṅwe hune ya ya hone.” (Nzumb. 14:1-4) Vho vha “mufumakadzi wa Ngwana,” nahone vha dzula nae vhudzuloni hawe ha ṱaḓulu.—Nzumb. 21:9; Yoh. 14:2, 3.
6. Ndi ngani vhaḓodzwa vha tshi ṱaluswa sa “ṅwananyana wa Khosi,” nahone ndi ngani hu tshi pfi vha ‘hangwe lushaka lwa havho’?
6 Muselwa wa tshifhingani tshi ḓaho ha sokou ṱaluswa sa “ṅwananyana” fhedzi, fhedzi u dovha a ṱaluswa sa “ṅwananyana wa Khosi.” (Ps. 45:13) Yeneyi “Khosi” ndi nnyi? Vhakriste vho ḓodzwaho vha dzhiiwa sa “vhana” vha Yehova. (Vharoma 8:15-17) Samusi vha tshi ḓo vha muselwa wa ṱaḓulu, vhaḓodzwa vho vhudzwa uri: “U hangwe lushaka lwa haṋu na muḓi wa khotsi-au” wa ṋama. Vha fanela u dzula vho livhisa mihumbulo yavho kha “zwithu zwa ṱaḓulu, hu si kha zwithu zwa kha ḽifhasi.”—Vhakol. 3:1-4.
7. (a) Kristo o lugisela hani muselwa wawe wa tshifhingani tshi ḓaho? (b) Muselwa u dzhia hani Mukwasha wawe wa tshifhingani tshi ḓaho?
7 Lwa miṅwaha ya maḓana, Kristo o vha a tshi khou lugisela muselwa wawe wa tshifhingani tshi ḓaho u itela mbingano ya ṱaḓulu. Muapostola Paulo o ṱalusa uri Kristo “o funa tshivhidzo nahone a ḓikumedzela tshone, a tshi ita tshikhethwa a tshi kunakisa nga maḓi a ipfi ḽa Mudzimu, a ita uri tshivhidzo tshi vhe tsho nakaho phanḓa hawe, tshi vhe tshi si na tshilavhi kana vhukhakhi kana zwithu zwo raloho, fhedzi tshi fanela uri tshi vhe tshikhethwa na tshi sa solei.” (Vhaef. 5:25-27) Paulo o vhudza Vhakriste vho ḓodzwaho vha ngei Korinta ḽa kale uri: “A thi ṱoḓi uri ni vhe vha muṅwe samusi na Mudzimu a sa zwi ṱoḓi, ngauri ndo ni fulufhedzisa uri ni vhingwe nga munna muthihi, ndi ni ise ha Kristo ni musidzana o kunaho.” (2 Vhakor. 11:2) Khosi Yesu Kristo ane a vha Mukwasha u a takalela “vhuḓi” kana lunako lwa muya lwa muselwa wawe wa tshifhingani tshi ḓaho. Muselwa na ene u mu dzhia sa “muṋe” wawe nahone u a ‘mu losha’ sa munna wawe wa tshifhingani tshi ḓaho.
8. Ndi ngani zwo tea uri muselwa a ṱaluswe sa ‘o ambaraho madzanga’?
8 Vhalani Psalme ya 45:13, 14a. Muselwa u ṱaluswa sa ‘o ambaraho madzanga’ u itela mbingano ya vhuhosi. Kha Nzumbululo 21:2, muselwa u vhambedzwa na muḓi, Yerusalema Muswa, nahone o “ṱamelwa munna wawe.” Wonoyu muḓi wa ṱaḓulu u na “vhugala ha Mudzimu” nahone u penya “sa tombo ḽa thengo khulu, sa tombo ḽa yasipere ḽi vhonadzaho.” (Nzumb. 21:10, 11) U naka ha Yerusalema Muswa ho ṱaluswa zwavhuḓi buguni ya Nzumbululo. (Nzumb. 21:18-21) Ndi ngazwo mupsalme o ṱalusa muselwa sa ‘o ambaraho madzanga’! Yeneyi mbingano ya vhuhosi i itea ṱaḓulu.
9. ‘Khosi’ ine muselwa a iswa khayo ndi nnyi, nahone muselwa o ambara nga nḓila-ḓe?
9 Muselwa u ḓiswa kha Mukwasha ane a vha Khosi ya Vhumessia. O mu lugisela na u mu “kunakisa nga maḓi a ipfi ḽa Mudzimu.” Ndi ‘mukhethwa nahone ha solei.’ (Vhaef. 5:26, 27) Muselwa wawe u fanela u vha o ambarela mbingano. Vhukuma, “nguvho yawe yo lukiwa nga ṱhale dza musuku,” nahone “u ḓiswa phanḓa [ha khosi] o ambara nguvho dza u naka.” Samusi a tshi khou vhingana na Ngwana, “o tendelwa uri a ambare zwiambaro zwa labi ḽi penyaho, ḽo kunaho, ḽavhuḓi—ngauri labi ḽo kunaho ḽi imela mishumo yo lugaho ya vhakhethwa.”—Nzumb. 19:8.
10. Munyanya wa mbingano wa Ngwana u ḓo itea lini?
10 Vhalani Nzumbululo 19:7. Mbingano ya Ngwana i ḓo itea lini? Naho ‘mufumakadzi wayo o ḓilugisela’ mbingano, zwine zwa bulwa nga murahu a zwi ṱalusi munyanya wa mbingano. Nṱhani hazwo, zwi ṋea ṱhaluso i pfalaho ya tshipiḓa tsha u fhedzisela tsha maṱungu mahulu. (Nzumb. 19:11-21) Naa zwenezwi zwi amba uri munyanya u itea musi Mukwasha ane a vha Khosi a sa athu khunyeledza gundo ḽawe? Hai. Mabono a re buguni ya Nzumbululo ho ngo ṅwalwa u ya nga u tevhekana ha zwiitea. Kha Psalme ya 45, munyanya wa mbingano wa vhuhosi u itea nga murahu ha uri Khosi, Yesu Kristo, a fare pfumo nahone a kunde maswina awe.—Ps. 45:3, 4.
11. Kristo u ḓo khunyeledza gundo ḽawe nga u tevhekana hufhio ha zwiitea?
11 Nga zwenezwo, ri nga phetha nga ḽa uri zwiitea zwi ḓo tevhekana nga heyi nḓila: Tsha u thoma, hu ḓo haṱulwa “phombwe khulu,” Babele Ḽihulu, muvhuso wa shango wa vhurereli ha mazwifhi. (Nzumb. 17:1, 5, 16, 17; 19:1, 2) Nga murahu, Kristo a ḓisa khaṱulo dza Mudzimu kha maitele mavhi a Sathane oṱhe a re kha ḽifhasi, nga u a fhelisa nga Haramagedo, “nndwa ya ḓuvha ḽihulu ḽa Mudzimu Ramaanḓaoṱhe.” (Nzumb. 16:14-16; 19:19-21) Mafheleloni, Khosi ya Mudziammbi i ḓo khunyeledza gundo ḽayo nga u posa Sathane na madimoni awe mugodini, ya vha vhea vhuimoni vhu fanaho na ha vhafu.—Nzumb. 20:1-3.
12, 13. (a) Mbingano ya Ngwana i ḓo itea lini? (b) Ndi nnyi ane a ḓo takalela mbingano ya Ngwana ngei ṱaḓulu?
12 Musi Vhakriste vho ḓodzwaho vha tshi ṱhaphudza buḓo ḽavho ḽa kha ḽifhasi tshifhingani tsha u vha hone ha Kristo, vha vuselwa ṱaḓulu. Nga murahunyana musi ho no fheliswa Babele Ḽihulu, Yesu u ḓo ḓikuvhanganyela masalela a miraḓo ya tshigwada tsha muselwa. (1 Vhathes. 4:16, 17) Nga zwenezwo, musi hu sa athu vuwa nndwa ya Haramagedo, miraḓo yoṱhe ya “muselwa” i ḓo vha i ṱaḓulu. Nga murahu ha yeneyo nndwa, hu ḓo kona u vha na munyanya wa mbingano wa Ngwana. Wonoyo munyanya u ḓo vha tshiitea tshi takadzaho lungafhani! Nzumbululo 19:9 i ri: “Hu takala vho rambiwaho munyanyani wa mbingano wa Ngwana.” Hu ḓo takala miraḓo ya 144 000 ya tshigwada tsha muselwa. Nahone Mukwasha ane a vha Khosi u ḓo takala vhukuma u vha na tshivhalo tsho fhelelaho tsha khonani dzawe dza vhuhosini dzine dza ḓo ‘ḽa na u nwa nae ṱafulani Muvhusoni wawe’ nga lwa pfanyisedzo. (Luka 22:18, 28-30) Naho zwo ralo, munyanya wa mbingano wa Ngwana a u nga ḓo takalelwa nga Mukwasha na muselwa wawe fhedzi.
13 Samusi ro zwi ṱhogomela mathomoni, mavhuthu a ṱaḓulu a ḓo imba nga vhuthihi a ri: “Kha ri takale ri pembele ri mu ṋee [Yehova] vhugala, ngauri munyanya wa mbingano wa Ngwana wo swika nahone mufumakadzi wayo o ḓilugisa.” (Nzumb. 19:6, 7) Hu pfi mini nga ha vhashumeli vha Yehova vha re kha ḽifhasi? Naa na vhone vha ḓo ṱanganela kha ḽeneḽo dakalo?
14. Samusi zwo bulwa kha Psalme ya 45, “vhasidzana” vha muselwa ndi vhonnyi?
14 Vhalani Psalme ya 45:12, 14b, 15. Muporofita Sakaria o dzula o amba uri tshifhingani tsha vhufhelo, vhathu vha tshaka dzoṱhe vha ḓo takalela u ḓikonanya na vha masalela a Isiraele wa muya. O ṅwala uri: “Misi iyo vhanna vha ná fumi vha mirafhorafho ya vha-nnḓa, vha ḓo fara munna muthihi wa Yuda, vha tou mu fara nga dzinguvho, vha ri: Litsha ri tshimbile na vho-inwi, ngauri ro zwi pfa zwauri Mudzimu u na inwi.” (Sak. 8:23) Kha Psalme ya 45:12, hu ambiwa uri vhenevha “vhanna vha ná fumi” ndi “ṅwananyana wa Tiro” na “dzitshakha dza vhapfumi.” Vha ḓisela vha masalela a vho ḓodzwaho zwifhiwa, vha tshi ṱoḓa uri vha vha ṱanganedze nahone vha vha thuse nga lwa muya. U bva nga 1935, vhathu vha dzimilioni vho tendela vha masalela ‘vha tshi vha isa kha zwivhuya.’ (Dan. 12:3) Dzenedzi khonani dzi fulufhedzeaho dza Vhakriste vho ḓodzwaho dzo kunakisa vhutshilo hadzo dza vha vhasidzana vha muya. Vhenevha “vhasidzana” vha muselwa vho ḓiṋekedzela kha Yehova nahone vho ḓisumbedza uri ndi vhalanda vha fulufhedzeaho vha Mukwasha ane a vha Khosi.
15. “Vhasidzana” vha shumisana hani na vha tshigwada tsha muselwa vhane vha kha ḓi vha kha ḽifhasi?
15 Vha masalela a tshigwada tsha muselwa vha livhuha vhenevha “vhasidzana” samusi vha tshi vha thusa u huwelela nga u fhisea “mafhungo maḓifha aya a Muvhuso” ḽifhasini ḽoṱhe. (Mat. 24:14) A si “muya na muselwa fhedzi zwine zwa bvela phanḓa zwi tshi ri: ‘Iḓa!’” fhedzi na a zwi pfaho nga a ri: “Iḓa!” (Nzumb. 22:17) Vhukuma, vha “dziṅwe nngu” vho pfa miraḓo ya tshigwada tsha muselwa o ḓodzwaho i tshi ri “Iḓa!” na vhone vha ṱanganela kha u vhudza vhathu vha ḽifhasi uri “Iḓa!”—Yoh. 10:16.
16. Yehova o ṋea vha dziṅwe nngu ndugelo ifhio?
16 Vha masalela a vho ḓodzwaho vha funa khonani dzavho nahone zwi a vha takadza u ḓivha uri Yehova, Khotsi a Mukwasha o ṋea dzenedzi dziṅwe nngu dzine dza vha kha ḽifhasi ndugelo ya u pembelela munyanya wa mbingano wa Ngwana u re ngei ṱaḓulu. Zwo dzula zwo ambiwa uri vhenevha “vhasidzana” “vha ḓiswa hu tshi pfala mifhululu na khuwa.” Vhukuma, vha dziṅwe nngu vhane vha vha na fulufhelo ḽa u tshila tshoṱhe kha ḽifhasi, vha ḓo vha na mukovhe musi fhethu hoṱhe hu tshi pembelelwa munyanya wa mbingano wa Ngwana ngei ṱaḓulu. Zwi a pfala uri bugu ya Nzumbululo i amba uri miraḓo ya vha “gogo ḽihulu” yo “ima phanḓa ha khuluṋoni na phanḓa ha Ngwana.” Vha itela Yehova tshumelo khethwa muṱani wa kha ḽifhasi wa thembele yawe ya muya.—Nzumb. 7:9, 15.
17, 18. Mbingano ya Ngwana i ḓisa mvelelo dzavhuḓi nga nḓila-ḓe, nahone Kristo u ḓo vha Khosi kha vhafhio tshifhingani tsha Vhuvhusi ha Miṅwaha ya Tshigidi?
17 Vhalani Psalme ya 45:16. “Vhasidzana” vha muselwa wa Kristo wa ṱaḓulu vha ḓo vha na tshiṅwe tshiitisi tsha u takala musi vha tshi vhona mbingano i tshi ḓisa mvelelo dzavhuḓi shangoni ḽiswa. Mukwasha ane a vha Khosi u ḓo livhisa ṱhogomelo kha ḽifhasi nahone a vusa “vho-khotsi” awe vha re kha ḽifhasi, nahone vha ḓo vha “vharwa” vhawe vha kha ḽifhasi. (Yoh. 5:25-29; Vhaheb. 11:35) Kha vhenevho, u ḓo khetha “dzikhosi mashangoni oṱhe.” A zwi timatimisi uri Kristo u ḓo khetha vhaṅwe vhukati ha vhahulwane vha fulufhedzeaho ṋamusi uri vha range phanḓa shangoni ḽiswa.—Yes. 32:1.
18 Tshifhingani tsha Vhuvhusi hawe ha Miṅwaha ya Tshigidi; Kristo u ḓo dovha a vha khotsi na kha vhaṅwe. Zwi re zwone ndi uri vhathu vhoṱhe vhane vha vha kha ḽifhasi vhane vha ḓo wana vhutshilo vhu sa fheli, vha ḓo vhu wana nga nṱhani ha uri vha na lutendo kha tshiṱhavhelo tsha Yesu tsha tshirengululi. (Yoh. 3:16) Nga zwenezwo, u mbo ḓi vha “Randalamo” khavho.—Yes. 9:5, 6.
19, 20. Zwiitea zwi nyanyulaho zwo ṅwalwaho kha Psalme ya 45 zwi kwama hani Vhakriste vhoṱhe vha ngoho ṋamusi?
19 Vhalani Psalme ya 45:1, 17. Vhukuma, zwiitea zwo ṅwalwaho kha Psalme ya 45 zwi kwama Vhakriste vhoṱhe. Vha masalela a vho ḓodzwaho vhane vha kha ḓi vha kha ḽifhasi vha takalela uri hu si kale vha ḓo vha vhathihi na vhahavho na Mukwasha wavho ngei ṱaḓulu. Vha dziṅwe nngu vha sudzuluselwa u thetshelesa Khosi yavho ya vhugala nga ho engedzeaho, nahone vha dzhiela nṱha ndugelo ya u konana na miraḓo ya muselwa wawe ine ya kha ḓi vha kha ḽifhasi. Nga murahu ha mbingano yavho, Kristo na vhane a ḓo vhusa navho vha ḓo ḓisela vhathu vha re kha ḽifhasi phaṱhutshedzo nnzhi.—Nzumb. 7:17; 21:1-4.
20 Samusi ro lavhelela u ḓadzea ha “luimbo lwavhuḓi” lu re malugana na Khosi ya Vhumessia, naa a ri sudzuluselwi u “ḓivhadza dzina ḽawe”? U nga ri ri nga vha vhaṅwe vha vhane vha ḓo ‘renda Khosi zwino na lini na lini.’
TSHILIKADZI i shayaho i kuvhatedza murwa wayo, ṅwana muthihi fhedzi. A i tendi zwine ya khou zwi vhona. Hu si kale, yo vha yo takula murwa wayo o faho. Zwino onoyu mufumakadzi u lavhelesa murwa wawe o vuswaho nahone zwi a mu takadza u mu vhona a tshi ṅwethuwa. Mueni wawe u ri khae: “Lavhelesa, ṅwana wau u a tshila.”
Tshenetshi tshiitea tsha mvuwo tsho itea miṅwahani i ṱoḓaho u vha 3 000 yo fhiraho. Ni nga vhala nga ha tshenetshi tshiitea buguni ya u Thoma ya Dzikhosi ndima 17. Mueni ndi muporofita wa Mudzimu Elia. Mme ene ndi nnyi? Ndi tshilikadzi i songo bulwaho nga dzina ine ya dzula muḓini wa Tsarepata. U vuswa ha murwa wawe zwo vha zwithu zwi khwaṱhisaho lutendo vhukuma vhutshiloni hawe. Samusi ri tshi ḓo amba ngae, ri ḓo guda ngudo ya ndeme vhukuma.
Yehova o dzhia phetho ya uri hu ḓo vha na gomelelo ḽine ḽa ḓo fhedza tshifhinga tshilapfu ngei Isiraele tshifhingani tsha vhuvhusi ha khosi mmbi Ahaba. Musi Elia o no ḓivhadza nga ha gomelelo, Mudzimu o mu dzumba u itela uri Ahaba a si mu vhone nahone nga lwa vhuṱolo a kanzwa muporofita onoyo nga vhuswa na ṋama a tshi shumisa mahunguvhu. Nga zwenezwo, Yehova a vhudza Elia uri: “Takuwa U ye Tsarepata u re kha ḽa Sidoni, U dzule hone. Ndo laedza musadzi wa tshilikadzi uri a U fhe zwiḽiwa.”—1 Dzikh. 17:1-9.
Musi Elia a tshi swika Tsarepata, a vhona tshilikadzi i shayaho i tshi khou dobedza khuni. Naa ndi mufumakadzi ane a ḓo ṋea muporofita zwiḽiwa? O vha a tshi ḓo zwi ita hani ngauri o vha a tshi shaya? Naho Elia o vha a tshi nga vha a tshi khou timatima, o thoma nyambedzano nae a ri: “Nkele maḓi nga khali, ndi nwe.” Musi a tshi khou ya u ka maḓi, Elia a dovha a ri: “U nḓele na zwiḽiwanyana.” (1 Dzikh. 17:10, 11) U ṋea onoyo munna maḓi zwo vha zwi si thaidzo kha yeneyo tshilikadzi, fhedzi thaidzo yo vha i ya u mu ṋea zwiḽiwa.
Mufumakadzi a amba a ri: “Nga vhutshilo ha Yehova Mudzimu wau, a thi na tshe nda bika. Tshi re hone ndi vhukhopfunyana vhu ḓadzaho tshanḓa ho salaho khalini, na mapfuranyana a re kha tshitemba. Zwino ndo vha ndi tshi khou dobedza zwikuni, ndi tshi ri ndi yo’ bikela nṋe na ṅwana wanga, ri ḽe, ri kone u fa.” (1 Dzikh. 17:12) Kha ri vhone uri yeneyi nyambedzano i amba mini.
Tshilikadzi yo ṱhogomela uri Elia ndi munna wa Muisiraele a ofhaho Mudzimu. Zwenezwi zwi tou vha khagala kha maipfi awe ane a ri “nga vhutshilo ha Yehova Mudzimu wau.” Zwi vhonala u nga naho o vha a tshi ḓivha zwiṅwe nga ha Mudzimu wa Isiraele, o vha a sa shumisi maipfi ane a ri “Mudzimu wanga” musi a tshi amba Yehova. O vha a tshi dzula Tsarepata, muḓi we wa vha u wa Fenikia kha ḽa Sodoma. Zwi vhonala uri vhagwadameli vha Baali vho vha vha tshi dzula Tsarepata. Naho zwo ralo, Yehova o ṱhogomela zwithu zwavhuḓi kha yeneyi tshilikadzi.
Naho yeneyi tshilikadzi i shayaho ya ngei Tsarepata yo vha i tshi dzula vhukati ha vhagwadameli vha midzimu i sili, yo vha i na lutendo. Yehova o ruma Elia kha onoyo mufumakadzi u itela u vha thusa vhuvhili havho. Kha zwenezwi, ri nga guda ngudo ya ndeme vhukuma.
A si vhadzulapo vhoṱhe vha Tsarepata vhe vha vha vhe vhavhi. Nga u ruma Elia kha yeneyi tshilikadzi, Yehova o sumbedza uri u ṱhogomela vhathu vha mbilu dzavhuḓi vhane vha sa athu u mu shumela. Vhukuma, “kha tshaka dzoṱhe muthu ane a ofha [Mudzimu] nahone a ita zwo lugaho u a mu ṱanganedza.”—Mish. 10:35.
Ndi vhangana vhathu vhane vha dzula tsimuni ya vhoiwe vhane vha fana na tshilikadzi ya Tsarepata? Naho vha tshi nga vha vho tangwa nga vhatevheli vha vhurereli ha mazwifhi, vha nga vha vha tshi ṱulutshelwa zwithu zwa khwine. Vha nga vha vhe na nḓivho ṱhukhu kana vhe si na nḓivho nga ha Yehova nahone vha tshi ṱoḓa thuso u itela u ṱanganedza vhurabeli ha ngoho. Naa ni khou ṱoḓa na u thusa vhenevho vhathu?
Humbulani zwavhuḓi nga ha zwe Elia a humbela tshilikadzi uri i zwi ite. Yo mu vhudza uri nga murahu ha u bikela ene na ṅwana wawe, vha ḓo ḽa nahone vha fa. Naho zwo ralo, Elia o ri mini? O ri: “U songo ofha. Tshimbila U ite zwe wa amba. Hone ranga U nyitela tshinkwanyana U nḓele natsho; U kone u bika hau na ha ṅwana wau. Ngauri Yehova Mudzimu wa Isiraele o amba a ri: ‘Vhukhopfu vhu re khalini a vhu nga fheli, na kutemba kwa mapfura a ku nga dzuli kú fhedzi, hu vhuye hu ḓe ḓuvha ḽine Yehova a ḓo nisa mvula ngaḽo fhano shangoni.’”—1 Dzikh. 17:11-14.
Vhaṅwe vha nga kha ḓi ri: ‘Ndi ni ṋee zwiḽiwa zwa u fhedzisela? Ni nga vha ni tshi khou swaswa.’ Fhedzi yeneyi tshilikadzi a yo ngo amba nga u ralo. Hu sa londwi nḓivho ṱhukhu ye a vha e nayo nga ha Yehova, o fulufhela Elia nahone a ita zwe a amba. Vhukuma, zwenezwi zwo vha zwi tshi linga lutendo—nahone yeneyi yo vha i phetho ya vhuṱali lungafhani!
Mudzimu ho ngo laṱa yeneyo tshilikadzi i shayaho. Samusi Elia o fulufhedzisa, Yehova o engedza zwiḽiwa zwayo zwiṱuku, lwe zwa fusha Elia, tshilikadzi na murwa wayo u swikela gomelelo ḽi tshi fhela. Vhukuma, ‘vhukhopfu khalini a ho ngo fhela, na mapfura kutembani ha ngo fhungudzea; zwa nga zwe Yehova a amba a tshi shumisa Elia.’ (1 Dzikh. 17:16; 18:1) Arali onoyo mufumakadzi a vhe o ita zwithu nga iṅwe nḓila, tshinkwa tshe a tshi ita a tshi shumisa vhukhopfu na mapfura tsho vha tshi tshi ḓo vha zwiḽiwa zwa u fhedzisela. Nṱhani hazwo, o vha na lutendo, a fulufhela Yehova nahone a ṋea Elia zwiḽiwa u thoma.
Ngudo ine ra nga i guda kha zwenezwi ndi uri Mudzimu u fhaṱutshedza vhane vha vha na lutendo. Musi no sedzana na vhuimo vhune ha linga u fulufhedzea haṋu nahone na sumbedza u vha na lutendo, Yehova u ḓo ni thusa. U ḓo vha Muṋei, Mutsireledzi na Khonani u itela u ni thusa u konḓelela milingo ine na sedzana nayo.—Ek. 3:13-15.
Nga 1898, Zion’s Watch Tower yo sumbedza ngudo i tevhelaho nga ha mafhungo a tshilikadzi: “Arali onoyo mufumakadzi o vha e na lutendo lwe lwa mu ita uri a thetshelese, nga zwenezwo, o vha a tshi ḓo wana thuso i bvaho ha Murena a tshi shumisa Muporofita; fhedzi arali o vha e si na lutendo, ho vha hu tshi ḓo khethiwa iṅwe tshilikadzi ine ya ḓo thetshelesa. Zwenezwi zwi fana na kha riṋe,—zwiṅwe zwifhinga vhutshiloni hashu Murena u tendela lutendo lwashu lu tshi lingwa. Arali ri na lutendo ri ḓo fhaṱutshedzwa; arali ri si nalwo, a ri nga ḓo wana phaṱhutshedzo.”
Musi ri tshi sedzana na milingo, ri fanela u ṱoḓa vhulivhisi ha Mudzimu vhu bvaho Maṅwaloni na kha khandiso dzashu dzo thewaho Bivhilini. Nga zwenezwo, ri fanela u ita zwithu zwine zwa tendelana na vhulivhisi vhu bvaho ha Yehova, hu sa londwi nḓila ine zwa konḓa ngayo u zwi ṱanganedza. Vhukuma, ri ḓo fhaṱutshedzwa arali ri tshi ita zwi re kha murero wa vhuṱali une wa ri: “Fulufhedza Mudzimu nga mbilu yau yoṱhe; U songo ḓi-tika nga u ri: Ndi a ṱalukanya. Dzinḓilani dzau dzoṱhe ḓivha Ene, u ḓo U lugisela hune wa tshimbila.”—Mir. 3:5, 6.
Lutendo lwa tshilikadzi lwo vha lu tshi ḓo dovha lwa lingwa. Bivhili i ri: “Hó no fhela maḓuvha, mutukana wa uyo musadzi muṋe wa muṱa a lwala; vhulwadze ha vha vhuhulu, a wanala á sa tsha fema.” Samusi o vha a tshi ṱoḓa u ḓivha uri ndi ngani o bvelelwa nga eneo makhaulambilu, onoyo mufumakadzi a ri kha Elia: “Ndi na mafhungo-ḓe na iwe Munna wa Mudzimu? Wo ḓa fhano uri hu humbulwe zwivhi zwanga, uri ṅwana wanga a fe.” (1 Dzikh. 17:17, 18) Enea maipfi a vhavhaho a amba mini?
Naa onoyu mufumakadzi o humbula zwivhi zwe a vhuya a zwi ita zwine zwa khou dina luvalo lwawe? Naa o humbula uri u fa ha ṅwana wawe ho vha hu ṱhamu i bvaho ha Mudzimu nahone Elia o vha e muḓinḓa wa Mudzimu wa lufu? Bivhili a i ri vhudzi, fhedzi ri ḓivha hezwi: Tshilikadzi a yo ngo vhona Mudzimu o lugaho mulandu.
Elia a nga vha o akhamala vhukuma nga lufu lwa murwa wa tshilikadzi na uri yeneyo tshilikadzi yo humbula uri u vha hone ha onoyo muporofita ndi zwone zwe zwa mu ḓisela makhaulambilu. Elia a hwala tshitumbu tsha ṅwana a tshi gonyisa nṱha ha ṱhanga a vhidzelela a ri: “Yehova Mudzimu wanga! Khee wo ṱungufhadza uyu musadzi wa tshilikadzi we nda dziilela khae’, wa vhulaha ṅwana wawe.” Zwo vha zwi tshi konḓa kha onoyu muporofita u humbula uri dzina ḽa Mudzimu ḽi ḓo semiwa arali onoyu mufumakadzi wa vhuthu na ane a vha na muya wa u ṱanganedza vhaeni a bvele phanḓa a tshi khou pfa vhuṱungu. Nga zwenezwo, Elia o humbela a ri: “Yehova Mudzimu wanga! Vhuyedzedza vhutshilo ha uyu ṅwana khae.”—1 Dzikh. 17:20, 21.
Yehova o vha o thetshelesa. Tshilikadzi yo vha yo ṱhogomela muporofita nahone yo sumbedza u vha na lutendo. Zwi vhonala u nga, Mudzimu o tendela ṅwana a tshi fa, a tshi ḓivha uri mvuwo—ya u thoma yo ṅwalwaho Maṅwaloni—i ḓo itea nahone i ḓo ṋea mirafho i tevhelaho fulufhelo. Musi Elia a tshi humbela nga thabelo, Yehova o vusa ṅwana. Edzani u humbula dakalo ḽe tshilikadzi ḽa vha naḽo musi Elia a tshi ri: “Lavhelesa, ṅwana wau u a tshila”! Nga zwenezwo, tshilikadzi ya vhudza Elia uri: “Zwino-ha ndi hone ndó zwi vhona zwauri U Munna wa Mudzimu, na zwauri mulomo wau u amba fhungo ḽa Yehova ngangoho.”—1 Dzikh. 17:22-24.
Mafhungo o ṅwalwaho kha Dzikhosi dza u Thoma ndima ya 17 ha bveli phanḓa a tshi amba nga onoyu mufumakadzi. Naho zwo ralo, nga nṱhani ha uri Yesu o amba zwavhuḓi nga hae, zwi nga kha ḓi itea uri o vha mushumeli wa Yehova a fulufhedzeaho. (Luka 4:25, 26) Mafhungo awe a ri funza uri Mudzimu u fhaṱutshedza vhane vha fara vhashumeli vhawe zwavhuḓi. (Mat. 25:34-40) A ri ṋea vhuṱanzi ha uri Mudzimu u ṱhogomela vha fulufhedzeaho naho vho sedzana na milingo i konḓaho. (Mat. 6:25-34) Enea mafhungo a dovha a ri sumbedza uri Yehova u ṱoḓa u vusa vho faho nahone u na vhukoni ha u ita nga u ralo. (Mish. 24:15) Vhukuma, zwenezwi ndi zwiitisi zwavhuḓi vhukuma zwa u humbula tshilikadzi ya ngei Tsarepata.
“Ndi ḓo mu tshidza ngauri o nnambatela; ndi ḓo mu khudisa ngauri u ḓivha dzina ḽanga.”—PS. 91:14.
1, 2. Ro fhambana hani musi zwi tshi ḓa kha zwiimo zwa muṱani na nḓila ye ra guda ngayo ngoho?
YEHOVA ndi ene muthomi wa ndugiselelo ya muṱa. (Vhaef. 3:14, 15) Naho arali ri tshi bva muṱani muthihi, vhumuthu na zwiimo a zwi fani. Ni nga kha ḓi vha no dzula na vhabebi vhaṋu u bva vhuṱukuni. Vhaṅwe vha nga kha ḓi vha vho felwa nga vhabebi vhavho, khamusi nga vhulwadze, khombo kana maṅwe makhaulambilu. Zwiṅwe hafhu, vhaṅwe a vha ḓivhi vhabebi vhavho.
2 Kha miraḓo ya muṱa wa vhagwadameli vha Yehova, nḓila ye ra guda ngoho ngayo a i fani. Ni nga kha ḓi vha no ‘alutshela ngohoni,’ nahone vhabebi vhaṋu vho kokomedza milayo ya Mudzimu kha inwi. (Doit. 6:6, 7) Kana ni nga kha ḓi vha ni muṅwe wa vha zwigidi vho gudiswaho ngoho nga muṅwe wa vhashumeli vha Yehova.—Vharoma 10:13-15; 1 Tim. 2:3, 4.
3. Ndi mini zwine roṱhe ra fana ngazwo?
3 Hu sa londwi zwe zwa ambiwa mathomoni, roṱhe ri na zwine ra fana ngazwo. Ri tshenzhela mvelelo dzo ḓiswaho nga u sa thetshelesa ha Adamu, nahone ro mamela u sa fhelela, tshivhi na lufu. (Vharoma 5:12) Naho zwo ralo, sa vhagwadameli vha ngoho, zwo tea uri ri vhidze Yehova uri ndi “Khotsi-ashu.” Musi Yesaya 64:8 i tshi amba nga ha vhathu vhe Mudzimu a vha nanga vha zwifhingani zwa kale, i ri: “Iwe Yehova, Khotsi-ashu ndi Iwe.” Zwiṅwe hafhu, Yesu o thoma thabelo yawe ya tsumbo nga maipfi ane a ri: “Khotsi ashu wa ṱaḓulu, dzina ḽau nga ḽi itwe ḽikhethwa.”—Mat. 6:9.
4, 5. U itela u funa Yehova Khotsi ashu nga ho engedzeaho, ndi mini zwine ra ḓo zwi ṱolisisa?
4 Khotsi ashu wa ṱaḓulu u a ri ṱhogomela na u ri tsireledza musi ri tshi vhidzelela dzina ḽawe nga lutendo. Musi mupsalme a tshi redza zwe Mudzimu a amba, o ri: “Ndi ḓo mu tshidza [mugwadameli wa ngoho] ngauri o nnambatela; ndi ḓo mu khudisa ngauri u ḓivha dzina ḽanga.” (Ps. 91:14) Vhukuma, Yehova Mudzimu u a ri phulusa kha maswina ashu na u ri tsireledza samusi ri vhathu vhawe, uri ri si fheliswe.
5 U itela uri ri fune Khotsi ashu wa ṱaḓulu nga ho engedzeaho, kha ri ṱolisise zwithu zwiraru zwa ndeme: (1) Khotsi ashu ndi Muṋei washu. (2) Yehova ndi Mutsireledzi washu. (3) Nahone Mudzimu ndi Khonani yashu ya tsini. Musi ri tshi ṱhogomela dzenedzi mbuno, zwi ḓo ri vhuyedza u elekanya nga vhushaka hashu na Mudzimu u itela uri ri ḓivhe nḓila ine ra nga mu hulisa ngayo samusi e Khotsi ashu. Zwi ḓo dovha zwa vha zwi vhuyedzaho u elekanya nga ha phaṱhutshedzo dzine Yehova a ḓo dzi ḓisela vhane vha sendela tsini nae.—Yak. 4:8.
6. Ndi nḓila ifhio ine Yehova a vha Muṋei wa “tshifhiwa tshiṅwe na tshiṅwe tshavhuḓi”?
6 Mufunziwa Yakobo o ṅwala uri: “Tshifhiwa tshiṅwe na tshiṅwe tshavhuḓi na tsho fhelelaho tshi bva ṱaḓulu, tshi tsa tshi tshi bva ha Khotsi wa tshedza tsha ṱaḓulu.” (Yak. 1:17) Vhutshilo ndi tshifhiwa tshavhuḓi tshi bvaho ha Yehova. (Ps. 36:9) Musi ri tshi shumisa vhutshilo hashu u ita zwine Mudzimu a zwi funa, ri wana phaṱhutshedzo nnzhi zwino nahone ri vha na tshilavhelelwa tsha u wana vhutshilo vhu sa fheli shangoni ḽiswa. (Mir. 10:22; 2 Pet. 3:13) Fhedzi zwenezwi zwi konadzea hani ngeno ro sedzana na mvelelo mmbi dza u sa thetshelesa ha Adamu?
7. Mudzimu o dzhia hani vhukando uri ri vhe na vhushaka ha tsini nae?
7 Vhukuma, Yehova ndi Muṋei washu Muhulwane nga nḓila nnzhi. Sa tsumbo, vhuthu hawe vhuhulwane vhu a ri tshidza. Roṱhe ri vhaitazwivhi nahone ro mamela u sa fhelela kha khotsi ashu wa u thoma wa kha ḽifhasi. (Vharoma 3:23) Naho zwo ralo, Yehova o dzhia vhukando uri ri vhe na vhushaka ha tsini nae nga nṱhani ha uri u a ri funa. Muapostola Yohane o ṅwala uri: “Ro dzumbululelwa lufuno lwa Mudzimu nga yeneyi nḓila, ngauri Mudzimu o ruma Murwa wawe mubebwa e eṱhe shangoni uri ri kone u wana vhutshilo ngae. Lufuno lu nga heyi nḓila, a si riṋe vhe ra funa Mudzimu, fhedzi ndi ene we a ri funa, a rumela Murwa wawe uri a vhe tshiṱhavhelo tshi pfumelelaho zwivhi zwashu.”—1 Yoh. 4:9, 10.
8, 9. Yehova o sumbedza hani uri u Muṋei Muhulwane tshifhingani tsha Abrahamu na Isaka? (Sedzani tshifanyiso tsha u thoma.)
8 Ḓanani ḽa vhu-19 ḽa miṅwaha B.C.E., ro pfesesa vhuporofita he ha dzumbulula ndugiselelo ya Yehova ya lufuno ye a i itela vhathu vhane vha thetshelesa uri vha wane vhutshilo vhu sa fheli. Vhaheberu 11:17-19 i ri: “Nga lutendo Abrahamu, musi a tshi lingwa, zwo nga o ṋekedza Isaka uri a vhe tshiṱhavhelo; muthu we a ṱanganedza mafulufhedziso o takala o lingedza u ṋekedza ṅwana wawe muthihi fhedzi sa tshiṱhavhelo, naho o vhudzwa uri: “Ine ya ḓo pfi ‘mbeu yau’ i ḓo vha nga Isaka.” Fhedzi o humbula uri Mudzimu o vha a tshi nga kona u mu vusa na lufuni; nahone a dovha a mu wana nga nḓila ya lwa pfanyisedzo.” Zwenezwi zwi fana na zwe Yehova a zwi ita musi a tshi ṋekedza Murwa wawe Yesu Kristo a tshi itela vhathu vhoṱhe.—Vhalani Yohane 3:16, 36.
9 Isaka a nga vha o takala vhukuma u vhofhololwa lufuni lwa tshiṱhavhelo. A zwi timatimisi uri a nga vha o takalela iṅwe ndugiselelo ya Mudzimu ya tshiṱhavhelo—thutha ye ya vha yo fashwa tshiṱakani tshi re henefho tsini. (Gen. 22:10-13) Ndi ngazwo henefho fhethu ho vhidzwa u pfi “Yehova-dzhaire,” zwine nga Luheberu zwa amba uri, “Yehova U Ḓo Ṋea.”—Gen. 22:14, NW.
10, 11. Ndi vhafhio vhe vha ranga phanḓa “vhuḓinḓa ha u pfumedzanya,” nahone vho ita zwenezwo nga nḓila-ḓe?
10 Musi ri tshi elekanya nga ha nḓila ine Yehova a vha ngayo Muṋei Muhulwane, ri livhuha mushumo wa ndeme we wa itwa nga Yesu Kristo, samusi na Paulo o sumbedza u livhuha, musi a tshi ṅwala uri: “Zwenezwi ndi zwe ra phetha ngazwo, uri muthu muthihi o ri fela roṱhe; nga zwenezwo, vhoṱhe vho fa; nahone o fela vhoṱhe uri vhoṱhe vha tshilaho vha si tsha ḓitshilela, fhedzi vha tshilele we a vha fela nahone a vuswa.”—2 Vhakor. 5:14, 15.
11 Vhakriste vha u thoma vho ṱanganedza “vhuḓinḓa ha u pfumedzanya” nga mbilu tshena, nge vha vha vha tshi funa Mudzimu na u livhuha ndugelo i sa vhambedzwi na tshithu ya u mu shumela. Mushumo wavho wa u huwelela na u ita vhathu vhafunziwa wo vulela vhathu vha mbilu dzavhuḓi tshibuli tsha uri vha vhe na mulalo na Mudzimu, vha takalele vhukonani hawe na u vha vhana vhawe vha lwa muya. Ṋamusi vhashumeli vha Yehova vho ḓodzwaho vha ita mushumo u fanaho. Zwine vha zwi khunyeledza sa vhaimeli vha Mudzimu na Kristo zwi ita uri vhathu vha re na mavhonele o teaho vha kone u kokodzwa nga Yehova nahone vha vhe vhatendi.—Vhalani 2 Vhakorinta 5:18-20; Yoh. 6:44; Mish. 13:48.
12, 13. Ri nga sumbedza hani uri ri livhuha ndugiselelo nnzhi dza Yehova?
12 Vhakriste vhoṱhe vhane vha vha na fulufhelo ḽa u tshila kha ḽifhasi vha ṱanganela na vhaḓodzwa kha mushumo wa u huwelela nga ha Muvhuso, vha tshi livhuha Yehova samusi e Muṋei wavho Muhulwane. Kha wonoyu mushumo, ri shumisa Bivhili, ine ya vha iṅwe ya ndugiselelo dzavhuḓi dza Mudzimu. (2 Tim. 3:16, 17) Musi ri tshi shumisa Ipfi ḽa Mudzimu ḽo hevhedzwaho nga vhuṱali vhuḓinḓani hashu, ri ṋea vhaṅwe tshibuli tsha u wana vhutshilo vhu sa fheli. U itela u wana thuso kha wonoyu mushumo, roṱhe ri ḓitika nga iṅwe ndugiselelo ya Yehova, ine ya vha muya wawe mukhethwa. (Sak. 4:6; Luka 11:13) Mvelelo ndi dzi takadzaho vhukuma, samusi zwi tshi sumbedzwa kha khandiso iṅwe na iṅwe ya Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Zwi takadza lungafhani u shela mulenzhe kha wonoyu mushumo u itela u hulisa Khotsi na Muṋei washu!
13 Musi ri tshi vhona zwoṱhe zwe Mudzimu a ri ṋea zwone, zwi ḓo vha zwavhuḓi u ḓivhudza uri: ‘Naa ndi khou ita zwoṱhe zwine nda nga kona vhuḓinḓani hanga u itela u sumbedza Yehova uri ndi livhuha nga mbilu yoṱhe ndugiselelo dzawe? Ndi nga vhu khwinisa hani u itela uri ndi vhe muhuweleli a bvelelaho wa mafhungo maḓifha?’ Ri nga sumbedza uri ri livhuha ndugiselelo dzavhuḓi dza Mudzimu nga u vhea zwithu zwoṱhe zwi tshimbidzanaho na Muvhuso u thoma vhutshiloni hashu. Arali ra ita nga u ralo, Yehova u ḓo ita vhungoho ha uri u a ṱhogomela zwishaiwa zwashu. (Mat. 6:25-33) Nga nṱhani ha uri Mudzimu u a ri funa, ri ṱoḓa u ita zwoṱhe zwi re maanḓani ashu u itela u takadza mbilu yawe.—Mir. 27:11.
14. Yehova o vha hani Mulamuleli wa vhathu vhawe?
14 Mupsalme Davida o imba a ri: “Huno nṋe—na u tambula—na u tshinyala—Yehova u ḓo ṋyelelwa. Mutshidzi wanga, Mulamuleli ndi Iwe.” (Ps. 40:17) Yehova o ḓi vha Mulamuleli wa vhathu vhawe sa tshigwada, zwihuluhulu musi vha tshi tovholwa nga nḓila i vhavhaho lwa tshifhinga tshilapfu nga maswina avho. Ri livhuha lungafhani nḓila ine Mudzimu a ri thusa ngayo nga zwenezwo zwifhinga, na nga ndugiselelo nnzhi dza muya dzine a dzula a tshi ri itela dzone!
15. Fanyisani nḓila ine khotsi wa lufuno a tsireledza ngayo ṅwana wawe.
15 Khotsi wa lufuno ha sokou ṋea vhana vhawe zwishaiwa zwavho, fhedzi u dovha a vha tsireledza. A nga lingedza u vha tsireledza arali vhe khomboni. Muṅwe wahashu wa tshinnani u kha ḓi humbula tshiitea tsha musi a tshee muṱuku. Ene na khotsi awe vho vha vha tshi khou bva tsimuni nahone vha tshi tea u pfuka mulambo. Mvula khulu ye ya na eneo matsheloni yo ḓadza mulambo. U itela uri vha pfuke wonoyo mulambo, vho vha vha tshi fanela u kanda kha matombo mahulwane. Onoyo mutukana o vha a tshi khou tshimbila phanḓa ha khotsi awe, a mbo ḓi redzemuwa musi a tshi kanda ḽiṅwe ḽa eneo matombo nahone a wela maḓini, a ṱoḓa u nwela khothe luvhili. O takala vhukuma musi khotsi awe vha tshi mu gavha uri a si nwele khothe. Khotsi ashu wa ṱaḓulu u ri vhofholola kha ḽino shango ḽivhi ḽine ra nga ḽi fanyisa na mulambo une wa khou elela nga maanḓa na kha muvhusi waḽo, Sathane. Yehova ndi Mutsireledzi wavhuḓi vhukuma.—Mat. 6:13; 1 Yoh. 5:19.
16, 17. Yehova o thusa na u tsireledza hani Vhaisiraele musi vha tshi lwa na Vhaameleke?
16 Nḓila ya lufuno ine Yehova a tsireledza ngayo i vhonala kha zwe zwa itea musi a tshi vhofholola Vhaisiraele vhupulini ha Egipita, nahone a vha tsireledza nga lwa vhuṱolo musi vha tshi pfuka Lwanzhe Lutswuku nga 1513 B.C.E. Musi lwonolwo lushaka lwo no fhira sogani lwo livha thungo ya Thavha ya Sinai, lwo mbo ḓi swika Rafidima.
17 U ya nga vhuporofita vhu re kha Genesi 3:15, Sathane a nga vha o hanganea musi a tshi ṱoḓa tshibuli tsha u vutshela Vhaisiraele vhe vha vhonala vha songo tsireledzea. Zwenezwi o zwi ita a tshi shumisa Vhaameleke, vhe vha vha vhe maswina a vhathu vha Mudzimu. (Num. 24:20) Ṱhogomelani zwe Yehova a zwi khunyeledza musi a tshi shumisa vhanna vhaṋa vha fulufhedzeaho, Yoshua, Mushe, Aroni na Huri. Musi Yoshua a tshi lwa na Vhaameleke, Mushe, Aroni na Huri vho vha vho ima tshikwarani tshi re nga tsini. Vhaisiraele vho vha vha tshi kunda musi Mushe a tshi imisa zwanḓa zwawe. Musi zwanḓa zwawe zwi tshi neta, Aroni na Huri vho vha vha tshi zwi tika. Nga thuso na tsireledzo ya Yehova, “Yoshua a kunda Vhaamaleke na vhathu vhavho.” (Ek. 17:8-13) Mushe o fhaṱa aletare henefho, a i vhidza uri “Tshiphuga tshanga ndi Yehova.”—Vhalani Ekisodo 17:14, 15.
18, 19. Mudzimu o tsireledza hani vhashumeli vhawe misini yashu?
18 Yehova u tsireledza vhane vha mu funa na u mu thetshelesa. U fana na Vhaisiraele musi vhe ngei Rafidima, ri fulufhela Mudzimu uri a ri tsireledze musi ro sedzana na maswina. Yehova o no ḓi ri tsireledza lunzhi sa tshigwada nahone u bvela phanḓa a tshi ri tsireledza kha mvutshelo dza Diabolo. Humbulani nga ha zwiitea zwinzhi zwe Mudzimu a tsireledza vhahashu musi vha tshi hana u dzhia sia nga nṱhani ha uri ndi Vhakriste. Sa tsumbo, zwenezwi zwo itea tshifhingani tsha Vhunazi ngei Dzheremane na kha maṅwe mashango nga vho-1930 na mathomoni a vho-1940. U vhala na u elekanya nga ha nganeavhutshilo na mafhungo o ṅwalwaho kha Yearbook a ambaho nga ha tsireledzo ya Mudzimu tshifhingani tsha u tovholwa, zwi ḓo khwaṱhisa lutendo lwashu kha Yehova sa Vhukhudo hashu.—Ps. 91:2.

20. Ndi tsireledzo na vhulivhisi vhufhio vhune ra vhu wana tshivhidzoni tsha Vhukriste?
20 Ri nga zwi sumbedza hani uri vhukuma ri “funzwa nga Yehova”? Nga u thetshelesa milayo yawe nga vhuronwane. (Yes. 54:13) Zwivhidzoni zwashu ri wana vhulivhisi na tsireledzo, ngauri henefho hu na vhanna vha fulufhedzeaho vhane vha shuma sa vhahulwane vhane vha ri ṋea thuso na nyeletshedzo ya Maṅwalo. (Vhagal. 6:1) Yehova u shumisa “zwifhiwa zwine zwa vha vhathu” u itela u ri ṋea ṱhogomelo ya lufuno. (Vhaef. 4:7, 8) Ri fanela u aravha hani?

3, 4. Sumbedzani nḓila ye Abrahamu na vhaḓuhulu vhawe vha vha vho fhambana ngayo musi zwi tshi ḓa kha vhukonani havho na Yehova.
3 Yehova o vha a tshi vhidza musimulalushaka na makhulukuku wa Vhaisiraele u ri “Abrahamu khonani yanga.” (Yes. 41:8) Koronika ya Vhuvhili 20:7 i dovha ya vhidza Abrahamu khonani ya Mudzimu.

No dovha hafhu na guda uri roṱhe ro bebwa ri na tshivhi nga nṱhani ha u sa thetshelesa ha Adamu. No dovha na pfesesa uri vhathu vhoṱhe vho sendedzwa kule na Mudzimu. (Vhakol. 1:21) Nga murahu, no ṱhogomela uri Khotsi ashu wa ṱaḓulu a re na lufuno haho kule na riṋe nahone u na dzangalelo kha riṋe. Musi ri tshi guda nga ha ndugiselelo yawe ya tshiṱhavhelo tshi rengululaho tsha Yesu na u vha na lutendo khatsho, ro thoma u vha na vhukonani na Mudzimu.
6 Musi ri tshi humbula zwa murahu, zwi nga vha zwavhuḓi u ḓivhudzisa uri: ‘Naa ndi khou ita mvelaphanḓa kha vhushaka hanga na Mudzimu? Naa fulufhelo ḽine nda vha naḽo khae ḽo khwaṱha na nḓila ine nda funa ngayo Khonani yanga Yehova zwi khou engedzea ḓuvha ḽiṅwe na ḽiṅwe?’ Muṅwe muthu wa tshifhingani tsha kale we a vha e na vhushaka ha tsini na Yehova ndi Gideoni. Kha ri ṱhogomele tsumbo yawe nahone ri i tevhele.
7-9. (a) Ndi tshenzhelo ifhio i swayeaho ye Gideoni a vha nayo, nahone ho vha na mvelelo ifhio? (Sedzani tshifanyiso tsha u thoma.) (b) Ri nga vha hani na vhukonani na Yehova?
7 Muhaṱuli Gideoni o shumela Yehova zwifhingani zwi konḓaho zwa ḓivhazwakale ya Isiraele musi lwonolo lushaka lwo no dzhena Shangoni ḽo Fulufhedziswaho. Vhahaṱuli ndima ya 6 i amba uri muruṅwa wa Yehova o dalela Gideoni ngei Ofura. Nga tshenetsho tshifhinga, vhahura vhane vha vha Vha-Midiani vho vha vhe khombo khulwane kha Vhaisiraele. Nga tshenetsho tshiitisi, Gideoni ho ngo fhula mavhele masimuni, fhedzi o a fhula minḓirivheni, fhethu he a vha a tshi nga a dzumba hone nga u ṱavhanya. O mangala musi muruṅwa a tshi bvelela na u mu vhidza “Muhali,” nahone Gideoni o timatima arali Yehova we a vhofholola Vhaisiraele ngei Egipita a tshi ḓo kona u vha thusa zwa vhukuma nga tshenetsho tshifhinga. Musi muruṅwa a tshi amba o imela Musiki, o khwaṱhisedza Gideoni uri Yehova o vha a tshi ḓo mu tikedza zwa vhukuma.
8 Gideoni o ḓivhudzisa uri u ḓo zwi kona hani u ‘lamulela Isiraele zwanḓani zwa Vha-Midiani.’ O wana phindulo yo livhaho i bvaho kha Yehova ine ya ri: “Ndi ḓo ima na iwe, U ḓo kunda Vha-Midiani, zwa nga musi hu tshi kundwa muthu muthihi.” (Vhahaṱ. 6:11-16) Gideoni a tshi kha ḓi timatima uri zwenezwi zwi ḓo itea hani, o ṱoḓa u vhona tshiga. Ṱhogomelani uri kha yeneyo nyambedzano Gideoni ho ngo timatima uri Yehova ndi Muthu wa vhukuma.
9 Zwe zwa itea nga murahu zwo khwaṱhisa lutendo lwa Gideoni nahone zwa ita uri a sendele nga ho engedzeaho tsini na Mudzimu. Gideoni o lugisela zwiḽiwa nahone a zwi ṋea muruṅwa. Musi zwiḽiwa zwi tshi swa nga lwa vhuṱolo nge muruṅwa a zwi kwama nga lubaḓa lwawe, Gideoni o ṱhogomela uri muruṅwa ndi muimeleli wa Yehova zwa vhukuma. Gideoni o amba uri: “Yawee, Muṋe wanga Yehova! Khee ndó vhona Muruṅwa wa Yehova, ra livhana zwifhaṱuwo.” (Vhahaṱ. 6:17-22) Fhedzi, naa zwenezwo zwi nga vha zwo tshinya vhushaka ha Gideoni na Mudzimu? A zwo ngo ralo! Ho itea zwo fhambanaho na zwenezwo. Gideoni o ḓivha Yehova nahone zwa ita uri a vhe na mulalo na Mudzimu. Ri ḓivha zwenezwi ngauri aletare yo fhaṱiwaho nga Gideoni o i vhidza uri—“Yehova Mulalo.” (Vhalani Vhahaṱuli 6:23, 24.) Musi ri tshi elekanya nga zwine Yehova a ri itela zwone ḓuvha ḽiṅwe na ḽiṅwe, ri a zwi ṱhogomela uri ndi Khonani ya vhukuma. U rabela Mudzimu tshifhinga tshoṱhe zwi ita uri ri vhe na mulalo wo engedzeaho nahone vhukonani hashu nae vhu a khwaṱha.
10. U ya nga Psalme ya 15:3, 5, ndi mini zwine Yehova a zwi lavhelela kha riṋe arali ri tshi ṱoḓa u vha khonani dzawe?
10 Naho zwo ralo, u itela uri Yehova a vhe Khonani yashu, ri fanela u swikelela zwiṅwe zwilinganyo. Samusi zwo ṅwalwa kha Psalme ya 15, Davida o imba nga ha zwine ra fanela u zwi ita u itela uri ri ‘dzhene nḓuni’ ya Yehova, zwine zwa amba u vha khonani ya Mudzimu. (Ps. 15:1) Kha ri livhise ṱhogomelo kha zwenezwo zwithu zwivhili—u iledza zwitshele na u fulufhedzea kha zwoṱhe zwine ra zwi ita. Malugana na enea mafhungo, Davida o amba zwi tevhelaho nga ha ane a ḓo dzhena nḓuni ya Yehova: “[Ndi] ané a si tshinye nga lulimi lwawe. . . . A si na tshanḓa-nguvhoni vhó hwelela a si na mulandu.”—Ps. 15:3, 5.
11. Ndi ngani ri tshi fanela u iledza zwitshele?
11 Kha iṅwe psalme, Davida o sevha a ri: “Linda-ha lulimi lwau lu si tshinye.” (Ps. 34:13) Arali ra kundelwa u pfa yeneyi nyeletshedzo yo hevhedzwaho zwi ḓo ita uri hu si vhe na vhushaka vhukati hashu na Khotsi ashu wa ṱaḓulu o lugaho. Zwitshele ndi pfaneleo khulwane ya Sathane, swina ḽihulwane ḽa Yehova. Ipfi “Diabolo” ḽi bva kha ipfi ḽa Lugerika ḽine ḽa amba “zwitshele.” Musi ri tshi ṱhogomela zwine ra zwi amba kha vhaṅwe zwi ḓo ita uri ri dzule ri na vhushaka ha tsini na Yehova. Zwihuluhulu ri fanela u ṱhogomela nḓila ine ra dzhia ngayo vhanna vho vhewaho tshivhidzoni.—Vhalani Vhaheberu 13:17; Yuda 8.
12, 13. (a) Ndi ngani ri tshi fanela u fulufhedzea kha zwithu zwoṱhe? (b) U fulufhedzea hashu hu nga kwama hani vhaṅwe?
12 U fulufhedzea na u sa fara vhaṅwe luvhi, ndi pfaneleo ya vhashumeli vha Yehova. Muapostola Paulo o ṅwala uri: “Bvelani phanḓa ni tshi ri rabelela, ngauri ri fulufhela uri ri na luvalo lwo ṱambaho, samusi ri tshi tama u ḓifara nga nḓila i fulufhedzeaho kha zwithu zwoṱhe.” (Vhaheb. 13:18) Samusi ro ḓiimisela “u ḓifara nga nḓila i fulufhedzeaho kha zwithu zwoṱhe,” ri iledza u fara vhahashu vha Vhakriste nga nḓila i si yavhuḓi u itela u ḓivhuyedza. Sa tsumbo, arali ro vha thola, ri ita vhungoho ha uri ri vha fara zwavhuḓi nahone ra vha badela u ya nga zwe ra tendelana ngazwo. Sa Vhakriste, ri a fulufhedzea kha vhe ra vha thola na vhathu vhoṱhe. Arali ro tholiwa nga Mukriste nga riṋe, a ro ngo fanela u ṱoḓa u ḓivhuyedza nga nḓila i si yavhuḓi nga u ṱoḓa ndugelo dzo khetheaho.
13 Ri anzela u pfa vhathu vhane vha shumisana na Ṱhanzi dza Yehova vha tshi livhuha nḓila ine vha shumisana navho ngayo. Sa tsumbo, mulanguli wa khamphani khulwane ya zwa u fhaṱa o ṱhogomela uri Ṱhanzi dza Yehova dzi ita zwe dza fulufhedzisa. O amba uri: “Tshifhinga tshoṱhe ni dzula kha fhungo ḽe na ḽi amba.” (Ps. 15:4) U ḓifara ho raloho hu ri thusa u dzula ri na vhukonani na Yehova. Zwiṅwe hafhu, hu dovha ha ḓisela thendo Khotsi ashu wa ṱaḓulu wa lufuno.
14, 15. Musi ri vhuḓinḓani, ri nga thusa hani vhaṅwe uri vha vhe khonani dza Yehova?
14 Vhathu vhanzhi vhane ra ṱangana navho vhuḓinḓani hashu vha a tenda uri Mudzimu u hone, fhedzi a vha mu dzhii sa Khonani yavho ya tsini. Ri nga vha thusa hani? Ṱhogomelani ndaela dze Yesu a dzi ṋea vhafunziwa vhawe vha 70 musi a tshi vha ruma nga vhavhili nga vhavhili u itela u huwelela, o ri: “Nnḓu iṅwe na iṅwe ine na dzhena khayo ni ambe ni ri: ‘Ngavhe ino nnḓu i tshi vha na mulalo.’ Arali hu na muthu ane a funa mulalo henefho, mulalo waṋu u ḓo vha khae. Fhedzi arali e siho, mulalo u ḓo vhuyelela kha inwi.” (Luka 10:5, 6) Ri nga kungela vhathu ngohoni nga nḓila ya vhukonani ine ra amba navho ngayo. Zwenezwi zwi nga thusa vhahanedzi uri tshifhingani tshi ḓaho vha ri ṱanganedze.
15 Musi ri tshi ṱangana na vhathu vhane vha vha kha vhurereli ha mazwifhi kana vhane vha tevhela mikhuvha i siho Maṅwaloni, ri bvela phanḓa ri tshi sumbedza vhukonani na u vha na mulalo navho. Miṱanganoni yashu, ri ṱanganedza nga lufuno vhathu vhane u sa fushea havho nga nḓila ine zwithu zwa itwa ngayo musalauno zwa ita uri vha ṱoḓe u guda zwo engedzeaho nga ha Mudzimu ane ra mu gwadamela. Thero dzi re kha mutevhe wa zwiṱoho “Bivhili I Shandula Vhutshilo” dzi ri ṋea tsumbo nnzhi dzavhuḓi.
16. Ri nga dzhiiwa sa khonani na “vhashumisani” na Yehova nga muhumbulo ufhio?
16 Vhathu vhane vha shuma vhoṱhe kanzhi vha vha khonani dza tsini. Vhoṱhe vhe vha ḓiṋekedzela kha Yehova vha na ndugelo ya u dzhiiwa sa khonani dzawe na “vhashumisani” nae. (Vhalani 1 Vhakorinta 3:9.) Vhukuma, musi ri tshi ita mushumo wa u huwelela na u ita vhathu vhafunziwa, ri kona u pfesesa khwine pfaneleo dzavhuḓi dza Khotsi ashu wa ṱaḓulu. Ri vhona nḓila ine muya wawe mukhethwa wa ri thusa ngayo u ri shomedzela u ita mushumo washu wa u huwelela mafhungo maḓifha.
17. Zwiḽiwa zwa muya zwine ra zwi wana maguvhanganoni na mabuthanoni ashu zwi sumbedza hani uri Yehova ndi Khonani yashu?
17 Musi ri tshi ṱanganela nga ho engedzeaho mushumoni wa u ita vhafunziwa, ri ḓipfa ri tsini na Yehova. Sa tsumbo, ri vhona nḓila ine Yehova a thivhela ngayo vhapikisi. Humbulani nga ha zwe zwa itea miṅwahani i si gathi yo fhiraho. Ro vhona zwavhuḓi nḓila ine Mudzimu a ri livhisa ngayo. Ri takalela zwiḽiwa zwinzhi zwa muya zwi sa fheli. Mabuthano na maguvhangano ashu a sumbedza nḓila ine Khotsi ashu a pfesesa ngayo thaidzo na zwishaiwa zwashu. Muṅwe muṱa wo ṅwala zwi tevhelaho u tshi livhuha buthano: “Mbekanyamushumo yo ri kwama vhukuma. Ro vhona nḓila ine Yehova a funa ngayo muṅwe na muṅwe washu nahone u ṱoḓa ri tshi bvelela.” Musi vhaṅwe vhavhingani vha ngei Dzheremane vho no ya buthanoni ḽo khetheaho ngei Ireland, vho livhuha nḓila ya lufuno ye vha ṱanganedzwa na u ṱhogomelwa ngayo, vho ri: “Fhedzi ane ra mu livhuha vhukuma ndi Yehova na Khosi yawe Yesu Kristo. Vho ri ramba uri ri vhe tshipiḓa tsha lwonolu lushaka lu re na vhuthihi. Honovhu vhuthihi a si ha mulomo fhedzi, fhedzi ri vhu takalela ḓuvha ḽiṅwe na ḽiṅwe.

18. Ndi mini zwine ra nga ḓivhudzisa zwone malugana na nḓila ine ra davhidzana ngayo na Yehova?
18 Vhukonani vhu a khwaṱha musi ri tshi davhidzana zwavhuḓi. Web site dza vhudavhidzano na u ṅwalelana milaedza nga luṱingo ndi zwithu zwo ḓoweleaho vhukuma tshifhingani tshino tsha Inthanethe na thekinolodzhi ya vhudavhidzano. Fhedzi zwenezwi ri zwi vhambedza hani na nḓila ine ra davhidzana ngayo na Khonani yashu ya tsini, Yehova? Vhukuma, ndi “Mupfi wa dzithabelo.” (Ps. 65:2) Fhedzi ri amba nae lungana?
19. Ndi mini zwine zwa ri thusa musi ri tshi konḓelwa u bulela Khotsi ashu wa ṱaḓulu maḓipfele ashu o dzikaho?
19 Vhaṅwe vhashumeli vha Mudzimu vha a konḓelwa u bula zwi re mbiluni yavho na u amba maḓipfele avho o dzikaho. Fhedzi, zwenezwo ndi zwine Yehova a ṱoḓa ri tshi zwi ita musi ri tshi rabela. (Ps. 119:145; Zwililo 3:41) Naho zwi tshi ri konḓela u amba zwi re mbiluni yashu, ri nga wana thuso. Paulo o ṅwalela Vhakriste vha ngei Roma uri: “Nga zwiṅwe zwifhinga zwi a itea uri ri rabele, fhedzi ri si ḓivhe zwine ra fanela u zwi amba uri ri sumbedze maḓipfele ashu, ri wana thuso nga maanḓa a Mudzimu. Naho zwo ralo, ane a ṱolisisa mbilu u a ḓivha zwine muya wa vha zwone, ngauri u humbelela vhakhethwa u ya nga zwine Mudzimu a zwi funa.” (Vharoma 8:26, 27) U elekanya nga maipfi o ṅwalwaho buguni dza Bivhili dzi ngaho sa Yobo, Dzipsalme na Mirero zwi ḓo ri thusa u bulela Yehova maḓipfele ashu o dzikaho.
20, 21. Maipfi a Paulo a re kha Vhafilipi 4:6, 7 a ri khuthadza hani?
20 Musi ro sedzana na vhuimo vhu tsikeledzaho, kha ri thetshelese nyeletshedzo ya Paulo yo hevhedzwaho ye a i ṅwalela Vhafilipi musi a tshi ri: “Ni songo vhilaela nga tshithu na tshithihi, fhedzi zwoṱhe zwine na zwi ṱoḓa ni humbele Mudzimu nga thabelo khathihi na u livhuha.” Vhukuma, u davhidzana ro vhofholowa nga yeneyo nḓila na Khonani yashu ya tsini zwi ḓo ri khuthadza, samusi Paulo o engedza nga uri: “Mulalo wa Mudzimu une wa fhira u ṱalukanya hoṱhe u ḓo tsireledza mbilu dzaṋu na maanḓa aṋu a muhumbulo nga Kristo Yesu.” (Vhafil. 4:6, 7) U nga ri ri nga dzula ri tshi takalela “mulalo wa Mudzimu” u sa vhambedzwi na tshithu, une wa tsireledza mbilu na maanḓa ashu a muhumbulo.
21 Thabelo i ri thusa u ṱahulela vhukonani na Yehova. Nga zwenezwo, kha ri ‘dzule ri tshi rabela.’ (1 Vhathes. 5:17) U nga ri yeneyi ngudo i nga khwaṱhisa vhushaka hashu ha ndeme na Mudzimu na u ḓiimisela hashu u tevhela milayo yawe yo lugaho. Kha ri ḓiṋee tshifhinga tsha u elekanya nga ha phaṱhutshedzo dzine ra vha nadzo ngauri Yehova ndi Khotsi ashu, Mudzimu washu na Khonani yashu zwa vhukuma.
Misini ya Yohane Mulovhedzi, “vhathu vho vha vho lindela Kristo, vhoṱhe vho vha vha tshi khou elekanya nga ha Yohane mbiluni dzavho vha tshi ri, ‘Kani a nga vha e ene Kristo?’” (Luka 3:15) Ndi ngani Vhayuda vho vha vho lindela Messia uri a swike nga tshenetsho tshifhinga? Hu na zwiitisi zwo vhalaho.
Musi Yesu o no bebwa, muruṅwa wa Yehova o bvelela kha vhalisa vhe vha vha vhe malisoni tsini na Betlehema. Muruṅwa o amba uri: “Ṋamusi no bebelwa Mutshidzi, Kristo Murena, muḓini wa Davida.” (Luka 2:8-11) Nga murahu ha zwenezwo, ho bvelela “mmbi ya vharuṅwa ya ṱaḓulu, i tshi khou khoḓa Mudzimu i tshi ri:* ‘Nga hu rendwe Mudzimu wa ṱaḓulu-ṱaḓulu, nahone ḽifhasini nga hu vhe na mulalo vhukati ha vhathu vhane Mudzimu a vha takalela.’”—Luka 2:13, 14.
Mulaedza wo vha na ṱhuṱhuwedzo khulwane vhukuma kha vhalisa vhenevho vha ḓiṱukufhadzaho. Nga u ṱavhanya, vho ya Betlehema nahone musi vha tshi wana Maria, Yosefa na Yesu, “vha vha vhudza zwe vha vhudzwa zwone malugana na lushie.” Nga zwenezwo, “vhoṱhe vhe vha zwi pfa vha mangadzwa nga zwe vha vhudzwa nga vhalisa.” (Luka 2:17, 18) Maipfi ane a ri “vhoṱhe vhe vha zwi pfa” a sumbedza uri vhalisa vho amba na vhaṅwe, hu si Yosefa na Maria fhedzi. Nga zwenezwo, musi vhalisa vha tshi humela mahayani, vho bvela phanḓa vha tshi “renda na u khoḓa Mudzimu nga ha zwithu zwoṱhe zwe vha zwi pfa na u zwi vhona, samusi vho vha vho vhudzwa nga u ralo.” (Luka 2:20) Vhukuma, vhenevho vhalisa a vho ngo fhumula nga ha zwithu zwavhuḓi zwe vha zwi pfa nga ha Kristo!
Musi Maria a tshi isa murwa wawe wa tanzhe ngei Yerusalema phanḓa ha Yehova, u ya nga Mulayo wa Mushe, Ana muporofita wa mufumakadzi o “thoma u livhuha Mudzimu, nahone a amba nga ha ṅwana kha vhoṱhe vho lindelaho u tshidzwa ha Yerusalema.” (Luka 2:36-38; Ek. 13:12) Nga zwenezwo, mafhungo a u ḓa ha Messia o bvela phanḓa a tshi phaḓalala.
Nga murahu, “vhaḓivhi vha ṋaledzi vha bvaho Vhubvaḓuvha vha ḓa Yerusalema, vha ri: ‘Khosi yo bebwaho ya Vhayuda i ngafhi? Ngauri ro vhona ṋaledzi yawe musi ri Vhubvaḓuvha, zwino ro ḓa u mu losha.’” (Mat. 2:1, 2) Musi “Khosi Herode a tshi pfa zwenezwo, a mbo sinyuwa na vhoṱhe vha re Yerusalema. A kuvhanganya vhotshifhe vhahulu vhoṱhe na vhamaṅwalo, a thoma u vha vhudzisa he Kristo a pfi u ḓo bebwa hone.” (Mat. 2:3, 4) Nga zwenezwo, vhathu vhanzhi vha zwi pfa uri Messia we a fulufhedziswa o swika!*
Luka 3:15 yo redzwaho mathomoni, i sumbedza uri vhaṅwe Vhayuda vho humbula uri Yohane Mulovhedzi a nga vha e Kristo. Naho zwo ralo, Yohane o ṱalutshedza nga uri: “Ane a khou ḓa murahu hanga u a mphira nga maanḓa, a thi fanelei u bvula thovho dzawe. Onoyo u ḓo ni lovhedza nga muya mukhethwa na nga mulilo.” (Mat. 3:11) Maipfi a Yohane a u ḓiṱukufhadza o ita uri hu lavhelelwe vhukuma u swika ha Messia.
Naa Vhayuda vha ḓanani ḽa u thoma ḽa miṅwaha vha nga vha vho shumisa vhuporofita ha vhege dza 70 ho ṅwalwaho kha Daniele 9:24-27 u itela u vhalela tshifhinga tsha u ḓa ha Messia? Naho zwi tshi nga kha ḓi vha zwo ralo, a hu na khwaṱhisedzo ya zwenezwo. Vhukuma, ho vha hu na nḓila nnzhi dzi sa fani dza u ṱalusa vhege dza 70 misini ya Yesu, fhedzi a hu na ṱhaluso i pfalaho u fhira yashu ya musalauno.*

Kha iṅwe psalme, Davida o imba a ri: “Tshiné nda tshi humbela ha Yehova ndi tshithihi tshiné nda tshi lila: ndi u dzula nḓuni ya Yehova maḓuvha oṱhe a vhutshilo hanga, na u vhona madzanga a Yehova, na u linda pfamo yawe.” (Ps. 27:4) Davida o vha e si Mulevi, fhedzi edzani u mu vhona nga maṱo a muhumbulo o ima nnḓa ha muṱa mukhethwa tsini na nnḓu ya mulanga ye ya vha i tshisima tsha vhurabeli ha ngoho nga tshenetsho tshifhinga.

Ipfi “madzanga” ḽi tshimbidzana na vhuimo kana pfaneleo ya “u vha na vhukonani kana u takadza maḓipfele, zwipfi kana muhumbulo.” Tshifhinga tshoṱhe Davida o vha a tshi livhuha ndugiselelo ya Mudzimu ya u mu gwadamela. Ndi zwavhuḓi u ḓivhudzisa uri: ‘Naa ndi ḓipfa nga nḓila ye Davida a ḓipfa ngayo?’
Misini yashu, a zwi ṱoḓei uri ri ye kha tshiṅwe tshifhaṱo u itela uri ri kone u amba na Yehova. Nṱhani hazwo, hu na thembele khulwane ya Mudzimu ya muya—ndugiselelo khethwa ya vhurabeli ha ngoho.* Arali ra dzhiela nṱha yeneyi ndugiselelo, na ri riṋe ri ḓo kona u “vhona madzanga a Yehova.”
Ṱhogomelani aletare ya tsimbi-tswuku ya u fhisa zwidzimu ye ya vha i tsini na muṋango wa nnḓu ya mulanga. (Ek. 38:1, 2; 40:6) Aletare yo vha i tshi fanyisela uri Mudzimu o ḓiimisela u ṱanganedza vhutshilo ha Yesu sa tshiṱhavhelo. (Vhaheb. 10:5-10) Edzani u humbula uri zwenezwo zwi amba mini kha riṋe! Muapostola Paulo o ṅwala uri: “Ro pfumedzanywa na Mudzimu nga lufu lwa Murwa wawe zwiḽa ri tshee maswina awe.” (Vharoma 5:10) Musi ri tshi vha na lutendo kha malofha a Yesu o shululwaho, ri nga takalela u vha khonani dza Mudzimu dzine a dzi ṱanganedza na u dzi fulufhela. Nga zwenezwo, ri kona u ‘pfana na Yehova.’—Ps. 25:14.
Nga nṱhani ha uri ro ‘hangwelwa zwivhi,’ ri a ‘homoloswa nga Yehova.’ (Mish. 3:19) Vhuimo hashu vhu fana na ha tshivhotshwa tshine tsha ḓisola nga nṱhani ha mishumo yatsho ya tshifhingani tsho fhiraho, nahone tsha ita tshanduko khulwane musi tsho lindela thambo. Musi muhaṱuli ane a pfela vhuṱungu a tshi vhona zwenezwi, u sudzuluselwa u phumula milandu ya onoyu munna—a phumula tshigwevho tshawe tsha lufu. Tshenetsho tshivhotshwa tshi ḓipfa tsho vhofholowa nahone tsho takala vhukuma! U fana na onoyo muhaṱuli, Yehova u ṱanganedza vhathu vhane vha rembuluwa nahone u bvisa tshigwevho tshavho tsha lufu.
Maṅwe masia a vhurabeli ha ngoho e Davida a a ṱhogomela nḓuni ya Yehova ndi u kuvhangana ha magogo a Vhaisiraele ngae, u vhalwa khagala na u ṱalutshedzwa ha Mulayo, u fhiswa ha zwioro, na musi vhotshifhe na Vhalevi vha tshi ita tshumelo khethwa. (Ek. 30:34-38; Num. 3:5-8; Doit. 31:9-12) Enea masia a vhurabeli ha ngoho ngei Isiraele ḽa kale a na ane a fana nao musalauno.
Misini yashu, u fana na kale, “a si u naka na u ḓifha mukomana na murathu vhó dzula vhé vhathihi!” (Ps. 133:1) Hu na nyengedzeo khulwane kha ‘vhatendi nga riṋe vhoṱhe.’ (1 Pet. 2:17) Miṱanganoni yashu, Ipfi ḽa Mudzimu ḽi a vhalwa nahone ḽa ṱalutshedzwa. A tshi shumisa ndangulo yawe, Yehova u a ri laya. Hu na zwiḽiwa zwinzhi zwa muya zwine zwa wanala khandisoni zwine ra nga zwi shumisa kha pfunzo ya muthu nga eṱhe kana ya muṱa. Muṅwe a re muraḓo wa Tshigwada tshi Langaho o amba uri: “U elekanya nga ha Ipfi ḽa Yehova, u humbulisisa nga zwine ḽa amba zwone, na u ṱoḓa u ṱalukanya na u pfesesa zwo ita uri ndi vhe na lupfumo luhulwane lwa muya nahone ndi fushee.” Ndi ngoho uri ‘nḓivho i ḓo ri takadza.’—Mir. 2:10.
Ṋamusi, thabelo dzi ṱanganedzeaho dza vhashumeli vha Mudzimu dzi ya kha Yehova ḓuvha ḽiṅwe na ḽiṅwe. Kha Yehova, thabelo dzo raloho dzi fana na munukhelelo wa zwioro. (Ps. 141:2) Zwi takadza lungafhani u ḓivha uri Yehova Mudzimu u a ri takalela musi ri tshi amba nae nga thabelo nga u ḓiṱukufhadza!
Mushe o rabela a ri: “Vhuthu ha Yehova Mudzimu washu, vhu livhane na riṋe. Mishumo ya zwanḓa zwashu U i tonde.” (Ps. 90:17) Musi ri tshi shuma vhuḓinḓani hashu nga u fhisea, Yehova u fhaṱutshedza mushumo washu. (Mir. 10:22) Ri nga kha ḓi vha ro thusa vhaṅwe uri vha gude ngoho.

Davida o imba a ri: “Hayani hanga na thakha yanga ndi Yehova; mukovhe wanga u bva zwanḓani zwawe. Ndo nangelwa fhethu ho nakaho.” (Ps. 16:5, 6) Davida o vha a tshi dzhiela nṱha “thakha” yawe zwine zwa vha u vha na vhushaka havhuḓi na Yehova na ndugelo ya u mu shumela.

“Yo angaredza zwithu zwoṱhe u bva musi hu tshi sikwa dziṋaledzi u swika nga tshifhinga tsha U Vhusa ha Kristo ha Miṅwaha ya Tshigidi.”—F. Stuart Barnes, we a vha e na miṅwaha ya 14 nga 1914

That is why God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of exultation more than your partners. 8 All your garments are myrrh and aloeswood and cassia; Out from the grand ivory palace stringed instruments themselves have made you rejoice. 9 The daughters of kings are among your precious women. The queenly consort has taken her stand at your right hand in gold of O′phir. 10 Listen, O daughter, and see, and incline your ear; And forget your people and your father’s house. 11 And the king will long for your prettiness, For he is your lord, So bow down to him. 12 The daughter of Tyre also with a gift— The rich ones of the people will soften your own face. 13 The king’s daughter is all glorious within the house; Her clothing is with settings of gold. 14 In woven apparel she will be brought to the king. The virgins in her train as her companions are being brought in to you. 15 They will be brought with rejoicing and joyfulness; They will enter into the palace of the king. 16 In place of your forefathers there will come to be your sons, Whom you will appoint as princes in all the earth. 17 I will make mention of your name throughout all generations to come. That is why peoples themselves will laud you to time indefinite, even forever.

The virgins in her train as her companions are being brought in to you. 15 They will be brought with rejoicing and joyfulness; They will enter into the palace of the king. 16 In place of your forefathers there will come to be your sons, Whom you will appoint as princes in all the earth. 17 I will make mention of your name throughout all generations to come. That is why peoples themselves will laud you to time indefinite, even forever.

^ (1 Dzikh. 17:1-24) And E·li′jah the Tish′bite from the inhabitants of Gil′e·ad proceeded to say to A′hab: “As Jehovah the God of Israel before whom I do stand is living, there will occur during these years neither dew nor rain, except at the order of my word!” 2 The word of Jehovah now came to him, saying: 3 “Go away from here, and you must turn your way eastward and conceal yourself at the torrent valley of Che′rith that is east of the Jordan. 4 And it must occur that from the torrent valley you should drink, and the ravens I shall certainly command to supply you food there.” 5 Immediately he went and did according to the word of Jehovah, and so went and took up dwelling by the torrent valley of Che′rith that is east of the Jordan. 6 And the ravens themselves were bringing him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and from the torrent valley he kept drinking. 7 But it came about at the end of some days that the torrent valley became dry, because there had occurred no downpour upon the earth. 8 The word of Jehovah now came to him, saying: 9 “Rise up, go to Zar′e·phath, which belongs to Si′don, and you must dwell there. Look! I shall certainly command there a woman, a widow, to supply you food.” 10 Accordingly he rose up and went to Zar′e·phath and came into the entrance of the city; and, look! a woman, a widow, was there gathering up pieces of wood. So he called to her and said: “Please, get me a sip of water in a vessel that I may drink.” 11 When she began to go and get it, he went on to call to her and say: “Please, get me a bit of bread in your hand.” 12 At this she said: “As Jehovah your God is living, I have no round cake, but a handful of flour in the large jar and a little oil in the small jar; and here I am gathering up a few pieces of wood, and I must go in and make something for myself and my son, and we shall have to eat it and die.” 13 Then E·li′jah said to her: “Do not be afraid. Go in, do according to your word. Only from what is there make me a small round cake first, and you must bring it out to me, and for yourself and your son you can make something afterward. 14 For this is what Jehovah the God of Israel has said, ‘The large jar of flour itself will not get exhausted, and the small jar of oil itself will not fail until the day of Jehovah’s giving a downpour upon the surface of the ground.’” 15 So she went and did according to E·li′jah’s word; and she continued to eat, she together with him and her household, for days. 16 The large jar of flour itself did not get exhausted, and the small jar of oil itself did not fail, according to Jehovah’s word that he had spoken by means of E·li′jah. 17 And it came about after these things that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, fell sick, and his sickness came to be so severe that there was no breath left in him. 18 At this she said to E·li′jah: “What do I have to do with you, O man of the true God? You have come to me to bring my error to mind and to put my son to death.” 19 But he said to her: “Give me your son.” Then he took him from her bosom and carried him up to the roof chamber, where he was dwelling, and laid him upon his own couch. 20 And he began calling to Jehovah and saying: “O Jehovah my God, is it also upon the widow with whom I am residing as an alien that you must bring injury by putting her son to death?” 21 And he proceeded to stretch himself upon the child three times and call to Jehovah and say: “O Jehovah my God, please, cause the soul of this child to come back within him.” 22 Finally Jehovah listened to E·li′jah’s voice, so that the soul of the child came back within him and he came to life. 23 E·li′jah now took the child and brought him down from the roof chamber into the house and gave him to his mother; and E·li′jah then said: “See, your son is alive.” 24 Upon that the woman said to E·li′jah: “Now, indeed, I do know that you are a man of God and that Jehovah’s word in your mouth is true.”

Naho Inthanethe i tshishumiswa tshavhuḓi vhukuma tshine tsha nga ri ṋea mafhungo a ndeme na u ri vhulungela tshifhinga, i nga dovha ya ri ṋea mafhungo a si one, ya ri ḽela tshifhinga tshinzhi vhukuma nahone ya tshinya vhuḓifari hashu. Kha ri haseledze nḓila ine ra nga vhuyelwa ngayo nga u shumisa tshenetsho tshishumiswa tsha shango ḽoṱhe.
Mafhungo A Re Khayo—Naa Ndi A Ngoho Kana Ndi Mazwifhi?
Ni songo vhuya na humbula uri mafhungo oṱhe ane a wanala kha Inthanethe ndi ngoho nahone a a vhuyedza. Musi ri tshi ita ṱhoḓisiso kha Inthanethe, ri nga zwi fanyisa na tshigwada tsha vhathu vhane vha ka ngowa dza mifuda yo fhamba-fhambanaho—ngowa dza vhukuma na ngowa-mpengo—vha tshi khou dzi posela ndiloni nahone vha dzi ṋea vhathu uri vha ḽe. Naa ni nga ḽa dzenedzo ngowa ni songo thoma na dzi ṱolisisa? Na kathihi!

Samusi ri tshi shumisa vhuṱali musi ri tshi ṱalula goroi kha mungu, ri fanela u shumisa vhuṱali u itela uri ri si tshinyadze mihumbulo yashu nga mazwifhi.
Nga 1993 magazini u ḓivheaho vhukuma wo vha u na zwipopai zwivhili zwa mmbwa phanḓa ha khomphyutha. Tshiṅwe tshipopai tsho vhudza tshiṅwe tsha ri: “Kha Inthanethe a hu na ane a ḓivha uri ni mmbwa.” Tshifhingani tsho fhiraho Sathane o ḓiita ṋowa u itela u haseledza na Eva, a mu vhudza uri u ḓo nga Mudzimu. Ṋamusi, muthu muṅwe na muṅwe a re na Inthanethe a nga kha ḓi ḓiita muḓivhi wa thero ine ha khou haseledzwa nga hayo, nahone a sa vhuye a ḓiamba na dzina ḽawe. Nahone a hu na o thivhelwaho uri a ambe mahumbulele awe kana a dzhenise zwifanyiso zwawe, kana a ambe zwine a funa.
Musi ni tshi shumisa Inthanethe, ni songo vha tsilu na fhurea u fana na Eva. Ni fanela u sedza mafhungo eneo nga vhulondi nahone a no ngo fanela u fulufhela tshiṅwe na tshiṅwe tshine na tshi vhala. Musi ni sa athu fulufhela mafhungo a re henefho, ḓivhudziseni: (1) Ndi nnyi we a ṅwala enea mafhungo? U na nḓivho nngafhani nga ha enea mafhungo? (2) Ndi ngani o ṅwala enea mafhungo?

Ḓanani ḽa u thoma ḽa miṅwaha, muapostola Paulo o ṋea Timotheo nyeletshedzo ine ya kha ḓi shuma na ṋamusi. Paulo o ṅwala uri: “Lindá tshe wa swiswiwa tshone, U sande mafhafhaḓo, a sí na zwa Mudzimu, na u ṱaṱa dzikhani, huné hu tshi zwífhiwa ha pfi ndi yone nḓivho.”—1 Tim. 6:20.
Naa I A Vhulunga Kana I A Ḽa Tshifhinga?
Arali Inthanethe ya shumiswa zwavhuḓi, a zwi timatimisi uri i nga vhulunga tshifhinga, nungo, na tshelede. Ri nga ṱavhanya ra renga zwithu ro ḓi dzula henefho hayani. U vhambedza mitengo zwi nga ri thusa u vhulunga tshelede, nahone u bannga tshelede kha Inthanethe zwo leludza vhutshilo ha vhathu vhanzhi. Ni nga dzudzanya mafhungo a zwa dzitshelede ni hayani nga tshifhinga tshine na funa. Inthanethe i ri ṋea zwishumiswa zwa ndeme u itela u dzudzanya lwendo, hune ra ḓo hu dalela musi ri lwendoni u katela na u badela. Ri nga wana nomboro dza luṱingo, ḓiresi, na fhethu hune ra khou ṱoḓa u ya hone. Shangoni ḽoṱhe, ofisi dza davhi dza Ṱhanzi dza Yehova dzi shumisa tshumelo dzenedzi dzi re kha Inthanethe u itela u vhulunga tshifhinga na tshelede, na u sa shumisa vhathu vhanzhi u itela u ita tshumelo dzenedzo.
Naho zwo ralo, hu na sia ḽi si ḽavhuḓi nga ha Inthanethe ḽine ra fanela u ḽi ṱhogomela samusi ḽi tshi ri ḽela tshifhinga.

Nga zwiṱuku nga zwiṱuku vha nga thoma u sa dzhiela nṱha zwithu zwa ndeme zwine zwa kwama muṱa, khonani, na tshivhidzo. U shumisa Inthanethe zwi nga vha dzema ḽi si ḽavhuḓi.

Muṅwe mufumakadzi o amba uri munna wawe o no shanduka vhukuma nahone mbingano yawe yo pwashea nga nṱhani ha u shumisesa hawe Inthanethe.
Ofisi ya davhi ya Ṱhanzi dza Yehova yo wana vhurifhi vhu bvaho kha munna we a ḓivhidza uri ndi makone wa Inthanethe.

Kha 1 Vha-Thesalonika 5:21, 22, ri a vhala: “Lingululani zwoṱhe, ni sale na zwi re zwivhuya!

U Rumela Milaedza Kana U Sa Rumela?
U shumisa Inthanethe zwi katela u wana mafhungo na u a fhirisa. Naho ri na mbofholowo ya u wana na u fhirisa mafhungo, ri fanela u vha na vhuḓifhinduleli ha u sedzulusa vhungoho na u kuna hao.

Ri nga mu thusa hani ri sa zwi ṱhogomeli, zwine zwa ḓo ita uri a fheleledze o ri fasha?
4 Mufunziwa Yakobo o fanyisa lulimi na mulilo. (Vhalani Yakobo 3:6, 8.) Arali ra sa ṱhogomela zwine ra zwi amba, nga lwa pfanyisedzo ri nga kha ḓi thoma mulilo tshivhidzoni.

Arali ri tshi anzela u humbula zwithu zwivhi nga ha vhaṅwe vhathu, ri fanela u zwi elelwa uri na Diabolo o timatima zwiṱuṱuwedzi zwavhuḓi zwa Yobo mushumeli wa Mudzimu a fulufhedzeaho.

9 Pontio Pilato, Muvhusi wa Vharoma o vha a tshi zwi ḓivha uri Yesu ha na mulandu, nahone o vha a sa ṱoḓi u mu pfisa vhuṱungu. Ngoho ndi uri Pilato o ri: “Nṋe a thi wani mulandu wo eḓanwaho nga lufu kha [Yesu].” Naho zwo ralo, Pilato o mu kumedza uri a vhulahwe. Ndi ngani?

(Yoh. 18:10, 11) Naho zwo ralo, nga murahu, Petro o vha na nyofho nahone dza ita uri a landule Yesu Kristo. Muapostola Petro o fashwa nga tshikwekwe tsha u ofha vhathu lwa tshifhinganyana, nahone zwa ita uri a si vhe na tshivhindi.—Mat. 26:74, 75.

Naho zwo ralo, nga zwiṅwe zwifhinga o vha a tshi kundelwa u ḓifhima, e na nyofho, nahone o kundwa nga mutsiko. Musi Yesu a sa athu farwa, Petro o zuwa a ri: “Naho vhoṱhe vha tshi khakhiswa, nṋe aiwa!” (Marko 14:29) Onoyu muapostola o vha a tshi ḓo kona u sedzana khwine na milingo arali o vha e na mavhonele a fanaho na a mupsalme we a fulufhela Mudzimu nahone a imba a ri: “Yehova u na nṋe; a thi tsha ofha; vhathu vha ḓo nyita’ni?” (Ps. 118:6) Vhusikuni ha u fhedza ha vhutshilo hawe kha ḽifhasi, Yesu o dzhia Petro na vhaṅwe vhaapostola vhavhili a ya navho tsimuni ya Getsemane. Naho zwo ralo, nṱhani ha u dzula vho fhaṱuwa, Petro na vhaṅwe vhaapostola vho mbo ḓi farwa nga khofhe. Yesu o vha vusa a ri: “Fhaṱuwani ni rabele, uri ni si dzhene milingoni.

Sathane u ṱoḓa ri tshi humbula uri tshilidzi tsha Mudzimu a tsho ngo ri fanela na uri a ri koni u swikelela zwilinganyo zwawe.
15 Ni nga iledza hani tshenetshi tshikwekwe tshine tsha zhaka? Arali no ita tshivhi tshihulwane, dzhiani vhukando zwino ha u vusulusa vhushaka haṋu na Yehova. Ambani na vhahulwane ni humbele thuso yavho. (Yak. 5:14-16) Itani zwoṱhe zwine na nga kona u itela u dzudzanya vhuimo. (2 Vha-Kor. 7:11) Arali na ṋewa ndayo, ni songo kulea nungo. U ṋewa ndayo zwi sumbedza uri Yehova u a ni funa. (Vha-Heb. 12:6) Itani vhuḓidini ha u sa dovha na ita tshenetsho tshivhi, nahone ni dzhie vhukando nga u ṱavhanya. Musi no no shanduka na u rembuluwa, ivhani na lutendo lwa uri tshiṱhavhelo tsha Yesu Kristo tshi rengululaho tsho phumula zwivhi zwaṋu.—1 Yoh. 4:9, 14.
16 Vhaṅwe vhathu vha bvela phanḓa vha tshi ḓivhona mulandu wa zwivhi zwe vha hangwelwa zwone. Arali na inwi ni tshi ḓipfa nga yeneyo nḓila, humbulani uri Yehova o hangwela Petro na vhaṅwe vhaapostola nge vha ṱutshela Murwa wawe Yesu a funwaho nga tshifhinga tshee a vha a tshi ṱoḓa vhukuma thikhedzo yavho. Yehova o hangwela munna we nga nṱhani ha vhuḓifari vhu songo kunaho a bviswa tshivhidzoni ngei Korinta, fhedzi nga murahu a rembuluwa. (1 Vha-Kor. 5:1-5; 2 Vha-Kor. 2:6-8) Ipfi ḽa Mudzimu ḽi amba nga ha vhathu vhe vha ita zwivhi zwihulwane, fhedzi vha rembuluwa nahone Mudzimu a vha hangwela.—2 Koron. 33:2, 10-13; 1 Vha-Kor. 6:9-11.
17 Yehova u ḓo hangwela na u hangwa zwivhi zwaṋu zwa tshifhingani tsho fhiraho arali na rembuluwa na ṱanganedza tshilidzi tshawe. Ni songo vhuya na humbula uri tshiṱhavhelo tsha Yesu tshi rengululaho tshi nga si kone u phumula zwivhi zwaṋu. Arali na vha na mahumbulele o raloho, ni ḓo wela tshikwekweni tsha Sathane.

MAANO A SATHANE RI A A ḒIVHA
18 Sathane ha londi uri ri fashwa nga tshikwekwe tshifhio, zwine a ṱoḓa ndi u ri fasha fhedzi uri ri ite zwine a zwi funa. Samusi maano a Sathane ri tshi a ḓivha, ri nga iledza u fashwa nga Diabolo. (2 Vha-Kor. 2:10, 11) Ri nga si fashwe nga zwikwekwe zwawe arali ri tshi rabela u itela uri ri vhe na vhuṱali ha u sedzana na milingo yashu. Yakobo o ṅwala uri: “Arali muṅwe waṋu ó ṱáhela vhuṱali, a humbele Mudzimu ané a kovhela vhoṱhe ó takala, á sa semani, huno Mudzimu u ḓo mu ṋea.” (Yak. 1:5) Arali ri tshi ṱoḓa Yehova a tshi ri ṋea vhuṱali ha u sedzana na milingo yashu, ri fanela u guda Ipfi ḽawe nga ho dzikaho tshifhinga tshoṱhe na u shumisa zwine ra zwi guda. Zwishumiswa zwa u guda Bivhili zwine ra zwi ṋewa nga mukoma a fulufhedzeaho na wa vhuṱali, zwi a ri sevha nga ha zwikwekwe zwa Diabolo na u ri thusa uri ri zwi iledze.
19 U rabela na u guda Bivhili zwi ri ṱuṱuwedza u funa zwo lugaho. Fhedzi ndi zwa ndeme uri ri vhenge vhuvhi.

NI ḒO ARAVHA HANI?
Mushumeli wa Yehova a nga iledza hani u fashwa nga tshikwekwe tsha u funesa zwithu zwi vhonalaho?

Ndi ngani ni tshi tenda uri zwi a vhuyedza u ima wo khwaṱha musi wo sedzana na tshikwekwe tsha u funesa zwithu zwi vhonalaho na u ḓifara luvhi nga zwa vhudzekani?
SATHANE DIABOLO ha pfeli vhathu vhuṱungu, zwihuluhulu vhashumeli vha Yehova. Sathane u khou lwa na masalela a vhaḓodzwa. (Ndzumb. 12:17) Vhenevho Vhakriste vha re na tshivhindi vho ranga phanḓa mushumo wa u huwelela nga ha Muvhuso wa musalauno, nahone vho bvukulula Sathane sa ene muvhusi wa ḽino shango. Diabolo ha funi na vha “dziṅwe nngu” vhane vha tikedza vhaḓodzwa, vho lavhelelaho u wana vhutshilo vhu sa fheli—tshilavhelelwa tshine Sathane ha tshe natsho. (Yoh. 10:16) Ndi ngazwo e na mbiti khulu! Hu sa londwi uri ri na fulufhelo ḽa u tshila ngei ṱaḓulu kana kha ḽifhasi, Sathane ndi swina ḽashu. U ṱoḓa u ri mila.—1 Pet. 5:8.
2 U itela u swikelela tshipikwa tshawe, Sathane u ri vhetshela zwikwekwe zwo fhamba-fhambanaho. Samusi ‘o swingisa mihumbulo’ ya vha sa tendiho, a vha ṱanganedzi mafhungo maḓifha nahone a vha koni u vhona zwikwekwe zwenezwi. Naho zwo ralo, Diabolo u dovha a fasha vhathu vhe vha ṱanganedza mulaedza wa Muvhuso. (2 Vha-Kor. 4:3, 4) Theroni yo fhiraho, ro haseledza nḓila dzine ra nga iledza ngadzo zwikwekwe zwiraru zwa Sathane: (1) u amba u songo thoma wa humbula, (2) u vha na nyofho na mutsiko, na (3) u ḓivhona mulandu nga ho kalulaho. Kha ino thero ri ḓo haseledza nḓila ine ra nga lwisana ngayo na zwiṅwe zwikwekwe zwivhili zwa Sathane—tshikwekwe tsha u funesa zwithu zwi vhonalaho na tsha u ita vhuṱonḓolo.
U FUNESA ZWITHU ZWI VHONALAHO—TSHIKWEKWE TSHINE TSHA PWANYELEDZA
3 Kha tshiṅwe tsha zwifanyiso zwawe, Yesu o amba nga ha mbeu ine ya zwaliwa mipfani. O amba uri muthu a nga pfa fhungo, fhedzi “u̗ vhilaelela vhutshilo vhuno na vhufhura ha lupfumo zwa pwanyeledza fhungo, zwa ḽi kundisa u aṋwa mitshelo.” (Mat. 13:22) I ngoho, u funesa zwithu zwi vhonalaho ndi tshiṅwe tsha zwikwekwe zwine zwa shumiswa nga swina ḽashu, Sathane.
4 Hu na zwithu zwivhili zwine arali zwa ṱanganywa, zwi nga pwanyeledza fhungo. Tsha u thoma ndi “u̗ vhilaelela vhutshilo vhuno.” Kha ano ‘maḓuvha a vhufhelo’ hu na zwithu zwinzhi zwine zwa nga ri vhilaedzisa. (2 Tim. 3:1) Samusi u ḓura ha zwithu na u shayea ha mishumo zwi tshi khou engedzea, ni nga kha ḓiwana zwi tshi konḓa u ṱunḓela muṱa waṋu. Ni nga kha ḓi vhilaedziswa nga vhumatshelo nahone na ḓivhudzisa uri, ‘Naa ndi ḓo vha na tshelede yo eḓanaho musi ndi tshi bva phesheni?’ Nga nṱhani ha mbilaelo dzo raloho, vhaṅwe vha tovhola lupfumo vha tshi humbula uri u vha na tshelede nnzhi zwi ḓo ita uri vha tsireledzee.
5 Yesu o dovha a amba nga ha tshithu tsha vhuvhili—tshine tsha vha “vhufhura ha lupfumo.” Musi vhufhura ha lupfumo ho ṱanganywa na mbilaelo zwi nga pwanyeledza mulaedza wa Muvhuso. Bivhili i a amba uri “lupfumo” lu a tsireledza. (Muh. 7:12) Naho zwo ralo, u tovhola lupfumo a si vhuṱali. Vhathu vhanzhi vha ṱhogomela uri musi vha tshi lingedza u vha na tshelede nnzhi, vha a fashwa nga tshikwekwe tsha u funesa zwithu zwi vhonalaho. Vhaṅwe vho no vha phuli dza lupfumo.—Mat. 6:24.
6 Ri nga thoma u funesa tshelede ri sa zwi ṱhogomeli. Sa tsumbo, humbulani nga ha tshiitea tshi tevhelaho. Mutholi waṋu u ḓa kha inwi a ri: “Ndi na mafhungo avhuḓi! Khamphani yashu yo ṋewa mushumo munzhi. Zwenezwi zwi amba uri hu ḓo shumiwa tshifhinga tsho engedzeaho vhukuma miṅwedzi i tevhelaho. Fhedzi ndi a ni fulufhedzisa uri ni ḓo wana tshelede nnzhi nga maanḓa.” Ni ḓo aravha hani musi ni tshi pfa eneo mafhungo? Ndi ngoho uri ni na vhuḓifhinduleli ha ndeme ha u ṱunḓela muṱa waṋu, fhedzi a si hone fhedzi hune na vha naho. (1 Tim. 5:8) Hu na vhuṅwe vhuḓifhinduleli vhune na fanela u humbula ngaho. Ni ḓo fhedza tshifhinga tshingafhani ni tshi khou shuma tshifhinga tsho engedzeaho? Naa mushumo waṋu wa u ḓitshidza u ḓo thithisa mishumo yaṋu ya tshivhidzoni, u katela u ya miṱanganoni ya tshivhidzo na Vhurabeli ha Muṱa ha nga madekwana?
7 Musi ni tshi ita phetho, ndi mini zwine zwa ḓo ḓa u thoma vhutshiloni haṋu—naa ndi nḓila ine u shuma tshifhinga tsho engedzeaho zwa ḓo ita uri ni wane tshelede nnzhi ngayo, kana ni ḓo humbula nga ha nḓila ine zwa ḓo kwama ngayo vhushaka haṋu na Mudzimu? Naa u fhisetshela u ita tshelede nnzhi zwi ita uri ni si vhee Muvhuso u thoma vhutshiloni haṋu? Naa ni khou zwi vhona uri u funesa zwithu zwi vhonalaho zwi nga ni kwama hani arali na litshelela vhushaka haṋu na Mudzimu na ha muṱa waṋu? Arali zwenezwi zwi tshi khou itea kha inwi zwino, ni nga ima hani no khwaṱha na iledza u pwanyeledzwa nga u funesa zwithu zwi vhonalaho.—Vhalani 1 Timotheo 6:9, 10.
8 U itela u iledza u pwanyeledzwa nga u funesa zwithu zwi vhonalaho, ni fanela u ṱolisisa matshilele ashu tshifhinga tshoṱhe. A ni ṱoḓi u fana na Esau, we zwiito zwawe zwa sumbedza uri ha dzhieli nṱha zwithu zwa muya! (Gen. 25:34; Vha-Heb. 12:16) Nahone a no ngo fanela u edzisa zwe zwa itwa nga munna wa mupfumi we a rambiwa uri a rengise thundu yawe yoṱhe a ṋee vhashai, a kone u tevhela Yesu. Nṱhani ha u ita zwenezwo, onoyo munna o “ṱuwa ó ṱungufhala; ngauri o vha e na thundu nnzhi.” (Mat. 19:21, 22) Nga nṱhani ha u fashiwa nga lupfumo, onoyo munna o xelelwa nga ndugelo khulwane vhukuma—ya u vha mutevheli wa muthu wa bvumo we a vhuya a tshila! Ṱhogomelani uri ni si xelelwe nga ndugelo ya u vha mufunziwa wa Yesu Kristo.
9 U itela u sa vhilaedziswa nga u funesa zwithu zwi vhonalaho, zwi ḓo vha zwavhuḓi u thetshelesa nyeletshedzo ya Yesu ine ya ri: “Ni songo vhilaela na ri: Ri ḓo ḽa’ni, ri ḓo nwa’ni, ri ḓo fuka’ni? Hezwo zwoṱhe zwi londiwa nga vha-nnḓa. Ngauri khotsi-aṋu wa ṱaḓulu u a zwi ḓivha zwauri hezwo zwoṱhe ni na mushumo nazwo’.”—Mat. 6:31, 32; Luka 21:34, 35.
10 Nṱhani ha u wela tshikwekweni tsha vhufhura ha lupfumo, lwelani u vha na mavhonele a Aguri muṅwe muṅwali wa Bivhili we a ri: “U songo mpha vhuṱoma kana lupfumo; nkanzwe nga zwo nyeḓanaho.” (Mir. 30:8) Zwi tou vha khagala uri o vha a tshi pfesesa uri tshelede i a ṱoḓea u itela uri muthu a tshile, fhedzi o vha a tshi pfesesa na vhufhura ha lupfumo. Ṱhogomelani uri mbilaelo dza ḽino shango na vhufhura ha lupfumo zwi nga ita uri ri si vhe na vhushaka havhuḓi na Mudzimu. U vhilaela nga ho kalulaho nga ha zwithu zwi vhonalaho zwi nga ri fhedzela tshifhinga, zwa ri kula nungo, na u ita uri ri si fhisetshele u vhea Muvhuso u thoma vhutshiloni hashu. Nga zwenezwo, ḓiimiseleni u sa fashwa nga tshikwekwe tsha Sathane tsha u funesa zwithu zwi vhonalaho!—Vhalani Vha-Heberu 13:5.
VHUṰONḒOLO—DINDI ḼO DZUMBIWAHO NGA VHUṰALI
11 Vhazwimi vhane vha ṱoḓa u fasha tshipuka tshihulwane vha nga kha ḓi bwa dindi nḓilani ine tsha anzela u tshimbila khayo. Dindi ḽeneḽo ḽi anzela u thithiedzwa nga thanda nahone ha fukedzwa nga mavu. Muṅwe mulingo wa Sathane une wa bvelela vhukuma u fana na tshenetshi tshikwekwe, ndi tshivhi tsha u ḓifara luvhi. (Mir. 22:14; 23:27) Vhakriste vhanzhi vho wela dindini ḽeneḽo nga u ḓidzhenisa kha zwiimo zwine zwa ita uri zwi leluwe u ḓifara luvhi. Vhaṅwe Vhakriste vho vhingaho vho ita vhuṱonḓolo nga u ṱahulela lufuno na vhathu vha songo vhinganaho navho.
12 Naho ri mbinganoni ri nga kha ḓi ḓiwana ri tshi khou funana na munwe muthu mushumoni. Zwi re zwone ndi uri iṅwe tsenguluso ya shango yo sumbedza uri phesenthe dza 50 dza vhafumakadzi na vhanna vhararu kha vhaṋa vho ḓifara luvhi na muthu ane vha shuma nae. Naa mushumo waṋu wa u ḓitshidza u ita uri ni shume na vhathu vha mbeu i sa fani na yaṋu? Arali zwo ralo, ni na vhushaka-ḓe navho? Naa no ḓivhetshela mikano ine ya ita uri ni livhise ṱhogomelo kha mushumo fhedzi hu si zwiṅwe-vho? Sa tsumbo, nga murahu ha u haseledza tshifhinga tshoṱhe na muthu wa tshinnani ane a shuma nae, wahashu wa tshisadzini a nga kha ḓi thoma u mu vhudza zwiphiri zwawe, u katela na vhuleme vhune a vha naho mbinganoni yawe. Kha vhuṅwe vhuimo, musi muthu wa tshinnani a tshi vha na vhukonani nga maanḓa na mushumisani nae wa tshisadzini, onoyo munna a nga kha ḓi thoma u humbula uri: “U dzhiela nṱha zwine nda amba nahone u a nthetshelesa musi ndi tshi amba nae. U ndzhia ndi wa ndeme. Ndi tou tama uri ngavhe na hayani ndi tshi farwa nga yeneyi nḓila!” Naa ni khou kona u vhona uri Vhakriste vha re kha vhuimo vhu fanaho na honovhu vha nga wela khomboni ya u ita vhuṱonḓolo?
13 Muthu ane a vha mbinganoni a nga ḓiwana a tshi khou funana na muṅwe muthu tshivhidzoni. Ṱhogomelani zwe zwa itea zwa vhukuma. Daniel na mufumakadzi wawe Sarah, vho vha vhe vhavulanḓila vha tshifhinga tshoṱhe. Daniel o amba uri o vha e muhulwane ane a ṱanganedza mishumo yoṱhe ine a ṋewa yone tshivhidzoni. Vhuḓinḓani hawe ha tsimu, Daniel o vha e na pfunzo ṱhanu dza Bivhili dza vhathu vha tshinnani, nahone vhararu vhavho vho fheleledza vho lovhedzwa. Vhenevha vhahashu vha tshinnani vhaswa, vho vha vhe na vhuleme siani ḽa zwa maḓipfele. Nga nṱhani ha uri Daniele o vha a tshi dzula o farakanea nga maanḓa kha mishumo yawe ya tshivhidzo, Sarah ndi ene we a vha a tshi anzela u vha thusa. Hu sa athu fhela tshifhinga tshilapfu, ho mbo ḓi itea zwi tevhelaho: Muṅwe wa vhagudiswa vha Daniel vha Bivhili o vha a tshi ṱoḓa thuso khulwane ya maḓipfele, nahone o i wana kha Sarah. Sarah na ene o vha a tshi ṱoḓa u dzhiiwa e wa ndeme nahone mugudiswa wa Bivhili wa Daniel ndi ene we a sumbedza u mu dzhia e wa ndeme. Vhuimo havho ho vha hu tshi ḓo vha dzhenisa khomboni. Daniel o ri: “Ṅwedzi muṅwe na muṅwe mufumakadzi wanga o vha a tshi fhedza nungo dzawe dzoṱhe a tshi khou thusa vhaṅwe nahone zwenezwo zwo mu fhedza maanḓa nga lwa muya na kha maḓipfele. Zwo dovha zwa ṋaṋiswa ngauri ndo vha ndi si na tshifhinga tshawe, nahone zwa ita uri hu vhe na mvelelo dzi si dzavhuḓi. Mufumakadzi wanga o ita vhuṱonḓolo na muṅwe wa vhagudiswa vhanga vha Bivhili. Ndo vha ndo farakanea nga maanḓa nga mishumo ya tshivhidzo lwe ndi si zwi ṱhogomele uri ha tsha vha na vhushaka havhuḓi na Mudzimu.” Ni nga iledza hani makhaulambilu o raloho?
14 U itela u iledza u wela dindini ḽa u ita vhuṱonḓolo, elekanyani nga ha zwine mbofho ya mbingano ya amba zwone. Yesu o ri: “Zwo vhofhekanywaho nga Mudzimu muthu a songo zwi fhandakanya.” (Mat. 19:6) Ni songo vhuya na humbula uri ndugelo tshivhidzoni ndi dza ndeme u fhira mufarisi waṋu. Zwiṅwe hafhu, ṱhogomelani uri u fhedza tshifhinga tshinzhi ni si ho tsini na mufarisi waṋu ni tshi khou ita mishumo i si ya ndeme zwi nga sumbedza uri hu na vhuleme mbinganoni yaṋu nahone zwi nga ita uri ni lingee nga hu leluwaho zwine zwa nga ita uri ni ḓiwane no ita tshivhi tshihulwane.
15 Naho zwo ralo, arali ni muhulwane, hu pfi mini nga sambi? Muapostola Petro o ṅwala uri: “Lisani sambi ḽa Mudzimu ḽi re afho haṋu, hú si nga u tou kombetshedzwa, hu vhe nga u zwi funa nga u tevhedza zwa Mudzimu, hú si nga u ṱoḓa bindu ngazwo’; hu vhe nga u ḓifhelwa ngazwo’.” (1 Pet. 5:2) Miraḓo ya tshivhidzo i re nga fhasi haṋu, i tea u ṱhogomelwa. Naho zwo ralo, a no ngo fanela u hangwa vhuḓifhinduleli haṋu sa munna nga nṱhani ha uri ni khou ṱhogomela tshivhidzo. Zwi nga si vhuyedze—nahone zwi nga vha khombo—u livhisa ṱhogomelo kha tshivhidzo ngeno ni sa ṱhogomeli mufarisi waṋu hayani. Daniel o ri: “A no ngo fanela u farakanea nga maanḓa ni tshi khou ṱhogomela ndugelo dzaṋu tshivhidzoni lune na si tsha ṱhogomela ṱhoḓea dza muṱa waṋu.”
16 Hu na nyeletshedzo dzi vhuyedzaho dzine dza wanala kha magazini wa Tshiingamo na Awake!, dzine dza nga thusa vhavhingani uri vha iledze u wela tshikwekweni tsha u ita vhuṱonḓolo.

^ par. 7 (Vhahaṱ. 6:1-40) Then the sons of Israel began to do what was bad in the eyes of Jehovah. So Jehovah gave them into the hand of Mid′i·an for seven years. 2 And the hand of Mid′i·an came to prevail over Israel. Due to Mid′i·an the sons of Israel made for themselves the underground store places that were in the mountains, and the caves and the places difficult to approach. 3 And it occurred that, if Israel sowed seed, Mid′i·an and Am′a·lek and the Easterners came up, yes, they came up against them. 4 And they would camp against them and would ruin the yield of the earth all the way to Ga′za, and they would not let any sustenance or sheep or bull or ass remain in Israel. 5 For they and their livestock would come up with their tents. They would come as numerous as the locusts, and they and their camels were without number; and they would come into the land to ruin it. 6 And Israel became greatly impoverished due to Mid′i·an; and the sons of Israel began to call to Jehovah for aid. 7 And it came about that because the sons of Israel called to Jehovah for aid on account of Mid′i·an, 8 Jehovah proceeded to send a man, a prophet, to the sons of Israel and to say to them: “This is what Jehovah the God of Israel has said, ‘It was I who brought YOU up from Egypt and thus brought YOU out of the house of slaves. 9 So I delivered YOU out of the hand of Egypt and out of the hand of all YOUR oppressors and drove them out from before YOU and gave YOU their land. 10 Furthermore, I said to YOU: “I am Jehovah YOUR God. YOU must not fear the gods of the Am′or·ites in whose land YOU are dwelling.” And YOU did not listen to my voice.’” 11 Later Jehovah’s angel came and sat under the big tree that was in Oph′rah, which belonged to Jo′ash the Abi-ez′rite, while Gid′e·on his son was beating out wheat in the winepress so as to get it quickly out of the sight of Mid′i·an. 12 Then Jehovah’s angel appeared to him and said to him: “Jehovah is with you, you valiant, mighty one.” 13 At this Gid′e·on said to him: “Excuse me, my lord, but if Jehovah is with us, then why has all this come upon us, and where are all his wonderful acts that our fathers related to us, saying, ‘Was it not out of Egypt that Jehovah brought us up?’ And now Jehovah has deserted us, and he gives us into the palm of Mid′i·an.” 14 Upon that Jehovah faced him and said: “Go in this power of yours, and you will certainly save Israel out of Mid′i·an’s palm. Do I not send you?” 15 In turn he said to him: “Excuse me, Jehovah. With what shall I save Israel? Look! My thousand is the least in Ma·nas′seh, and I am the smallest in my father’s house.” 16 But Jehovah said to him: “Because I shall prove to be with you, and you will certainly strike down Mid′i·an as if one man.” 17 At this he said to him: “If, now, I have found favor in your eyes, you must also perform a sign for me that you are the one speaking with me. 18 Do not, please, move away from here until I come to you and I have brought out my gift and set it before you.” Accordingly he said: “I, for my part, shall keep sitting here until you return.” 19 And Gid′e·on went in and proceeded to make ready a kid of the goats and an e′phah of flour as unfermented cakes. The meat he put in the basket, and the broth he put in the cooking pot, after which he brought it out to him under the big tree and served it. 20 The angel of the true God now said to him: “Take the meat and the unfermented cakes and set them on the big rock there, and pour out the broth.” At that he did so. 21 Then Jehovah’s angel thrust out the tip of the staff that was in his hand and touched the meat and the unfermented cakes, and fire began to ascend out of the rock and to consume the meat and the unfermented cakes. As for Jehovah’s angel, he vanished from his sight. 22 Consequently Gid′e·on realized that it was Jehovah’s angel. At once Gid′e·on said: “Alas, Sovereign Lord Jehovah, for the reason that I have seen Jehovah’s angel face to face!” 23 But Jehovah said to him: “Peace be yours. Do not fear. You will not die.” 24 So Gid′e·on built an altar there to Jehovah, and it continues to be called Je·ho′vah-sha′lom down to this day. It is yet in Oph′rah of the Abi-ez′rites. 25 And it came about during that night that Jehovah went on to say to him: “Take the young bull, the bull that belongs to your father, that is, the second young bull of seven years, and you must tear down the altar of Ba′al that is your father’s, and the sacred pole that is by it you should cut down. 26 And you must build an altar to Jehovah your God at the head of this stronghold, with the row of stones, and you must take the second young bull and offer it up as a burnt offering on the pieces of wood of the sacred pole that you will cut down.” 27 Accordingly Gid′e·on took ten men of his servants and went doing just as Jehovah had spoken to him; but it came about that, as he feared the household of his father and the men of the city too much to do it by day, he went doing it by night. 28 When the men of the city got up early in the morning as usual, why, look! the altar of Ba′al had been pulled down and the sacred pole that was beside it had been cut down, and the second young bull had been offered up on the altar that had been built. 29 And they began to say one to another: “Who has done this thing?” And they went inquiring and seeking. Finally they said: “Gid′e·on the son of Jo′ash is the one that has done this thing.” 30 So the men of the city said to Jo′ash: “Bring your son out that he may die, because he has pulled down the altar of Ba′al, and because he has cut down the sacred pole that was by it.” 31 At this Jo′ash said to all those who stood against him: “Will YOU be the ones to make a legal defense for Ba′al to see whether YOU yourselves may save him? Whoever makes a legal defense for him ought to be put to death even this morning. If he is God, let him make a legal defense for himself, because someone has pulled down his altar.” 32 And he began to call him Jer·ub·ba′al on that day, saying: “Let Ba′al make a legal defense in his own behalf, because someone has pulled down his altar.” 33 And all Mid′i·an and Am′a·lek and the Easterners gathered together as one and proceeded to cross over and camp in the low plain of Jez′re·el. 34 And Jehovah’s spirit enveloped Gid′e·on so that he went blowing the horn, and the Abi-ez′rites got to be called together after him. 35 And he sent out messengers through all of Ma·nas′seh, and they too got to be called together after him. He also sent out messengers through Ash′er and Zeb′u·lun and Naph′ta·li, and they came on up to meet him. 36 Then Gid′e·on said to the true God: “If you are saving Israel by means of me, just as you have promised, 37 here I am keeping a fleece of wool exposed on the threshing floor. If dew comes to be on the fleece alone but on all the earth there is dryness, then I must know that you will save Israel by means of me, just as you have promised.” 38 And it turned out to be that way. When he rose up early the next day and wrung the fleece, he got to drain off enough dew from the fleece to fill a large banquet bowl with water. 39 However, Gid′e·on said to the true God: “Do not let your anger blaze against me, but let me speak just once more. Let me, please, make a test only once more with the fleece. Let, please, dryness occur to the fleece alone, and upon all the earth let there come to be dew.” 40 So God did that way on that night; and dryness came to be on the fleece alone, and upon all the earth dew occurred.

DANIELE U HUMBELA YEHOVA NGA U ḒIṰUKUFHADZA
4 Daniele o zwi ṱhogomela uri u vha ha Yerusalema shubi miṅwaha ya 70 ho vha hu tsini na u fhela. O vha a tshi ḓo ita mini nga murahu ha zwenezwo? Ene muṋe nga dzawe u a ri vhudza: “Nda isa maṱo anga ha Muṋe wa vhoṱhe Mudzimu, nda mu ṱoḓa nga thabelo na nga u fhihamelwa, nda ḓi-dzima ndó ambara dzanganda, ndí kha milora.

(Levitiko 26:31-46; 1 Dzikhosi 8:46-53) Ho vha hu tshi ṱoḓea lutendo, muya wa u ḓiṱukufhadza, na u rembuluwa tshoṱhe kha zwivhi zwe zwa bveledza vhuthubwa na vhupuli. A tshi itela vhathu vhawe vha re na tshivhi, zwenezwo Daniele a rabela Mudzimu. Nga nḓila-ḓe? Nga u ḓidzima, u lila, na u ambara madzanganda, zwine zwa sumbedza u rembuluwa na mbilu i fulufhedzeaho.
5 Vhuporofita ha Yeremia ho ṋea Daniele fulufhelo, ngauri ho sumbedza uri zwenezwino Vhayuda vha ḓo vhuyedzedzwa shangohaya ḽavho ḽa Yuda. (Yeremia 25:12; 29:10) A zwi timatimisi uri Daniele o vha na fulufhelo ḽa uri Vhayuda vho kundwaho vha ḓo vhofhololwa ngauri munna ane a pfi Korese o vha a tshi vho vhusa Peresia. Naa Yesaya o vha a songo porofita uri Korese o vha a tshi ḓo shumiswa u vhofholola Vhayuda uri vha fhaṱulule Yerusalema na thembele? (Yesaya 44:28–45:3) Fhedzi Daniele o vha a sa ḓivhi uri zwenezwo zwo vha zwi tshi ḓo itea hani. Nga zwenezwo a bvela phanḓa a tshi rabela Yehova.
6 Daniele o livhisa ṱhogomelo kha khathutshelo na tshilidzi tsha Mudzimu. Nga u ḓiṱukufhadza, o tenda uri Vhayuda vho tshinya nge vha shanduka, vha pambutshela ndaela dza Yehova, nahone vha nyadza vhaporofita vhawe. Zwo vha zwo fanela uri Mudzimu a vha ‘pandelele mashangoni oṱhe nga u vha mu levhela.’ Daniele o rabela a ri: “Muṋe wanga! Iṱali ró fanelwa nga dziṱhoni, riṋe na mahosi ashu, na vhahulwane vhashu, na vho-khotsi-ashu, nga u’ ra U itela zwivhi. Hone, Muṋe washu, Mudzimu washu, ndi wa tshilidzi na u hangwela zwe ra mu shandukela. Ipfi ḽa Yehova Mudzimu washu a ro ngo ḽi thetshelesa ra tevhela mulayo wawe we a u vhea phanḓa hashu nga vhaporofita vhaḓinḓa vhawe. Vha-Isiraele vhoṱhe vho laṱa mulayo wau vha pambuwa, vha hana u pfa U tshi amba navho’. Mulandu ndi wonoyo, kha riṋe hu tshi vulea aḽa ma-ṱula-khombo na uḽa muano wo ṅwaliwaho kha mulayo wa Mushe muḓinḓa wa Mudzimu, ngauri ro mu itela zwivhi.”—Daniele 9:5-11; Ekisodo 19:5-8; 24:3, 7, 8.
7 Mudzimu o vha o sevha Vhaisiraele nga ha mvelelo dza u sa mu thetshelesa na u nyadza mulanga we a u vhofha navho. (Levitiko 26:31-33; Doiteronomio 28:15; 31:17) Daniele u tenda uri vhukando ho dzhiiwaho nga Mudzimu ho fanela, a tshi ri: “O ita zwe a vha o amba a tshi kaidza riṋe na vhavhusi vhashu vhe vha ri vhusa, a tshi ri: Ndi ḓo ḓisa khombo khulu kha inwi, ine nga ḓasi ha ḽiṱaḓulu hu si vhe na iṅwe ine ya nga yeneyo ine ya ḓo ḓela Yerusalema.

8 Daniele o vha a sa ṱoḓi u vhuyafhedza zwiito zwa vhathu vhawe. Zwo vha zwo tea uri vha iswe vhuthubwani, samusi a tshi tenda: “Ro ita zwivhi, ro tshinya.” (Daniele 9:15) O vha a sa vhilaeleli u vhofhololwa kha tshengelo yawe fhedzi. Hai, u thea khumbelo yawe kha vhugala na khuliso zwa Yehova. Nga u hangwela Vhayuda nahone a vha vhuyedzedza shangohaya ḽavho, Mudzimu o vha a tshi ḓo ḓadzisa fulufhelo ḽawe ḽe a ḽi ita nga Yeremia nahone o vha a tshi ḓo khetha dzina Ḽawe ḽikhethwa. Daniele u ita khumbelo: “Muṋe washu, vhunga Ú wa zwivhuya zwoṱhe, dzikisa mbiti dzau na vhuhali hau he ha wela muḓi wa Yerusalema, thavha khethwa yau; ngauri ndi zwivhi zwashu, ndi mulandu wa vho-khotsi-ashu muḓi wa Yerusalema na vhathu vhau vha tshi nyadziwa nga vhoṱhe vho ri tangaho.”—Daniele 9:16.
9 Nga thabelo i bvaho mbiluni, Daniele u a bvela phanḓa: “Mudzimu washu! Zwino ipfa thabelo ya mulanda wau a tshi U humbela; fhethu fhaḽa hukhethwa ho thuthiwaho U hu lavhelese tshifhaṱuwo tshau tshó tsha; U ralo U tshi tou ḓi-itela Iwe Muṋe washu. Mudzimu wanga!

Naa vho vha vha sa ḓo phetha nga ḽa uri midzimu ya Babele i na maanḓa ane a fhira a Yehova? Ee, dzina ḽa Yehova ḽo vha ḽi tshi ḓo nyadziwa, nahone zwenezwi zwo ṱungufhadza Daniele. Zwifhinga zwa 19 zwine khazwo Yehova, dzina ḽa Mudzimu ḽa wanala buguni ya Daniele, lwa 18 ḽi tshimbidzana na yeneyi thabelo!
GABRIELE U ḒA NGA LUVHILO
10 Musi Daniele a tshi kha ḓi rabela, muruṅwa Gabriele u a bvelela. U ri: “Daniele ndo ḓa uri ndi U funze u ṱalukanya. Heḽi fhungo ḽe nda ḓa u U vhudza ḽo bvelela iwe U tshi ranga u rabela; ngauri iwe U mufuniwa. Thetshelesa-ha iḽi fhungo. U ṱalukanye zwa mabono.” Fhedzi ndi ngani Daniele a tshi mu vhidza nga uri “munna Gabriele”? (Daniele 9:20-23) Vhukuma, musi Daniele a tshi ṱoḓa u pfesesa bono ḽawe ḽa u thoma ḽa mbokoṱo na thutha, “ane a nga munna” o bvelela phanḓa hawe. O vha e muruṅwa Gabriele, o rumelwaho u ṋea Daniele luvhonela. (Daniele 8:15-17) Zwi ngaho zwenezwo, nga murahu ha thabelo ya Daniele, onoyu muruṅwa o sendela tsini nae e kha tshivhumbeo tshine tsha nga tsha muthu nahone a amba nae u fana na musi muthu a tshi amba na muṅwe muthu.
11 Gabriele u swika “nga tshifhinga tsha musumo wa madekwana.” Aletare ya Yehova yo vha yo fheliswa khathihi na thembele ngei Yerusalema, nahone Vhayuda vho vha vhe mathubwa a Vhababele vha vhahedeni. Nga zwenezwo Vhayuda vhe vha vha vhe Babele vho vha vha sa khou ṋekedza Mudzimu zwiṱhavhelo. Naho zwo ralo, nga zwifhinga zwo vhewaho zwa zwiṱhavhelo nga fhasi ha Mulayo wa Mushe, zwo vha zwo fanela uri Vhayuda vho ḓikumedzaho ngei Babele vha rende na u rabela Yehova. Sa munna o ḓikumedzaho vhukuma kha Mudzimu, Daniele o vhidzwa “mufuniwa.” Yehova “Mupfi wa dzithabelo,” o mu takalela, nahone Gabriele a rumiwa nga u ṱavhanya uri a ye u fhindula thabelo ya Daniele ya lutendo.—Psalme ya 65:2.
12 Naho u rabela Yehova zwo vhea vhutshilo hawe khomboni, Daniele o bvela phanḓa u rabela Mudzimu luraru nga ḓuvha. (Daniele 6:11, 12) Ndi ngazwo Yehova o mu vhidza mufuniwa! Nga nnḓa ha thabelo, u elekanya ha Daniele nga ha Ipfi ḽa Mudzimu zwo mu ita uri a kone u ḓiimisela u ita zwi funwaho nga Yehova. Daniele o konḓelela thabeloni nahone o vha a tshi ḓivha nḓila yo fanelaho ya u rabela Yehova uri thabelo dzawe dzi fhindulwe. O ombedzela u luga ha Mudzimu. (Daniele 9:7, 14, 16) Naho maswina awe a songo wana vhukhakhi khae, Daniele o zwi ḓivha uri o vha e muitazwivhi phanḓa ha Mudzimu nahone a bula zwivhi zwawe nga mbilu yoṱhe.—Daniele 6:5; Vha-Roma 3:23.
“DZIVHEGE DZI NA MAHUMI MAṰANU-NA-MAVHILI” DZA U KHUNYELEDZA TSHIVHI
13 Daniele a rabelaho u wana phindulo yavhuḓi lungafhani!

(Genesi 22:17, 18; Yesaya 9:5, 6) Gabriele u vhudza Daniele uri: “Ndi dzivhege dzi na mahumi maṱanu-na-mavhili dze dza vhetshelwa lushaka lwa haṋu na muḓi mukhethwa wa haṋu, uri hu fhedzwe dziphambuwo, hu khunyeledzwe zwivhi, uri hu pfumelelwe mulandu, uri hu ḓiswe zwivhuya zwa lini na lini, uri hu [“vhewe luswayo kha,” NW] mabono na vhaporofita, uri hu hangulwe [“ḓodzwe,” NW] fhethu hukhethwa-khethwa.

17 Tshiitea tsha vhuvhili tsho itea nga ṅwaha wa vhusumbe wa u vhusa ha Arithasasitha Khosi ya Peresia (Artaxerxes Longimanus, murwa wa Xerxes I). Nga tshenetsho tshifhinga, Esera muṅwalululi o fara lwendo lwa miṅwedzi miṋa u bva Babele u ya Yerusalema. O vha e na luṅwalo lwo khetheaho lu bvaho ha khosi, fhedzi lwo vha lu sa tendeli u fhaṱululwa ha Yerusalema. Nṱhani hazwo, zwe Esera a vha o rumelwa zwone zwo vha zwi tshi katela fhedzi u ‘nakiswa ha nnḓu ya Yehova.’ Ndi ngazwo vhurifhi ho ambela kha musuku na tsimbi-tseṱha, midzio mikhethwa, na miṋeelo ya goroi, veine, mapfura, na muṋo u itela u tikedza vhurabeli thembeleni, khathihi na u sa theliswa ha vhane vha shuma henefho.—Esera 7:6-27.
18 Tshiitea tsha vhuraru tsho itea nga murahu ha miṅwaha ya 13, nga ṅwaha wa vhu-20 wa Arithasasitha Khosi ya Peresia. Nga tshenetsho tshifhinga Nehemia o vha e ndumi yawe ngei “muḓini wa musanda wa Susani.” Yerusalema wo vha wo fhaṱululwanyana nga vha tsalela dzi bvaho Babele. Fhedzi zwithu zwo vha zwi sa khou tshimbila zwavhuḓi. Nehemia a pfa uri “mitsheṱo ya Yerusalema i tshee yó thuthwa; dzikhoro dza muḓi dzo fhiswa nga mulilo.” Hezwi zwa mu dina vhukuma, nahone a ḽa mbilu. Musi a tshi vhudziswa uri o ṱungufhalelani, Nehemia a fhindula a ri: “Thovhele nga a lalame! Naa ndi nga litsha hani u ṱungufhala? Huufha muḓi uḽa wa zwaloni zwa vho-khotsi-anga ú tshee shubi, dzikhoro dzawo dzó swa nga mulilo?”—Nehemia 1:1-3; 2:1-3.
19 Mafhungo a kwamaho Nehemia a a bvela phanḓa: “Khosi ya mbo ri: Zwino-ha tshine wa nkhumbela U tshi ralo ndi mini? Nṋe nda ranga u rabela Mudzimu wa ṱaḓulu; nda kona u fhindula zwe khosi ya amba, nda ri: “Arali Thovhela a tshi wana zwó naka, na nṋe mulanda wau ndí sa khakhi phanḓa hau, ndi humbela uri U nthume ndi ye hangei Yuda muḓini he ha vhulungwa vho-khotsi-ashu, uri ndi u fhaṱe.” Heyi khumbelo yo ṱanganedzwa nga Arithasasitha, a dovha a ṱanganedza na iṅwe khumbelo ya Nehemia: “Arali Thovhela a tshi funa, nga a mphe maṅwalo ane nda ḓo ṋekedza vhakoma vha ḽa seli ha mulambo [wa Furata], uri vha mphe nḓila, ndi fhire ndi ye hangei Yuda.

20 Naho thendelo yo ṋewa nga ṅwedzi wa Nisan, tshipiḓani tsha u thoma tsha ṅwaha wa vhu-20 wa vhuvhusi ha Arithasasitha, “u ranga nga u bvelela ha fhungo ḽa uri hu vuswe muḓi wa Yerusalema” ho itea miṅwedzini ye ya tevhela.

‘MESSIA MURANGAPHANḒA’ U A BVELELA
21 Ho fhela miṅwaha mingana Yerusalema u sa athu fhaṱululwa? Vhukuma, u vusuluswa ha wonoyo muḓi ho vha hu tshi ḓo khunyeledzwa nga “misi ya zwi konḓaho” nga ṅwambo wa vhuleme vhukati ha Vhayuda nga dzavho na u hanedzwa nga Vhasamaria na vhaṅwe. Zwi vhonala uri wonoyo mushumo wo ṱhaphudzwa u swika kha vhuimo vhu ṱoḓeaho nga 406 B.C.E.—hu sa athu fhela “dzivhege ṱhanu-na-mbili,” kana miṅwaha ya 49. (Daniele 9:25) Ho vha hu tshi ḓo tevhela tshifhinga tsha vhege dza 62, kana miṅwaha ya 434. Nga murahu ha tshenetsho tshifhinga, Messia we a fulufhedziswa kale o vha a tshi ḓo bvelela. Ri tshi vhala miṅwaha ya 483 (ya 49 ya ṱanganywa na ya 434) u bva nga 455 B.C.E. ri swika kha 29 C.E. Ho itea mini nga tshenetsho tshifhinga? Luka muṅwali wa Evangeli u a ri vhudza: “Nga ṅwaha wa fumi na vhuṱanu wa vhuhosi ha khosi Tiberio, misi Pontio Pilato a tshi vhusa Yudea, Herode e khosi ya Galilea, . . . Fhungo ḽa Mudzimu ḽa ruma Yohane, murwa wa Sakaria, we a vha e sogani. A ya mashangoni oṱhe o vhandakanaho na mulambo wa Yorodane a huwelela ndovhedzo ya u shanduka uri vhathu vha hangwelwe zwivhi.” Nga tshenetsho tshifhinga ‘vhathu vho vha vha tshi vho elekanya’ Messia.—Luka 3:1-3, 15.
22 Yohane o vha e si Messia o fulufhedziswaho. Fhedzi malugana na zwe a zwi vhona ndovhedzoni ya Yesu wa Nazaretha, nga tshifhefho tsha 29 C.E., Yohane o ri: “Ndo vhona Muya u tshi tsa vhunga ḽiivha u tshi bva ṱaḓulu, wa dzula kha ene. Na nṋe ndo vha ndi sa mu ḓivhi; hone o nthumaho u lovhedza maḓini, ndi ene we a mbudza a ri: Ané wa ḓo vhona Muya u tshi tsa wa dzula kha ene, ndi ene ane a ḓo lovhedza nga Muya mukhethwa. Nda zwi vhona nda ṱanziela nda ri: Uyo ndi ene Murwa wa Mudzimu.” (Yohane 1:32-34) Musi a tshi lovhedzwa, Yesu o vha Muḓodzwa—Messia, kana Kristo. Nga murahunyana ha zwenezwo, Andrea mufunziwa wa Yohane a ṱangana na Yesu muḓodzwa nahone zwenezwo a vhudza Simoni Petro a ri: “Ro wana Messia.” (Yohane 1:41) Nga zwenezwo, ‘Messia Murangaphanḓa’ o bvelela nga tshifhinga tsho teaho—mafheloni a vhege dza 69!
ZWIITEA ZWA VHEGE YA U FHEDZA
23 Ho vha hu tshi ḓo khunyeledzwa mini nga vhege ya vhu-70? Gabriele o amba uri ho vhewa ḽifhinga ḽa “dzivhege dzi na mahumi maṱanu-na-mavhili” u itela “uri hu fhedzwe dziphambuwo, hu khunyeledzwe zwivhi, uri hu pfumelelwe mulandu, uri hu ḓiswe zwivhuya zwa lini na lini, uri hu vhewe luswayo kha mabono na vhaporofita, uri hu ḓodzwe hukhethwa-khethwa.” (NW) Uri hezwi zwi khunyeledzwe, ‘Messia Murangaphanḓa’ o vha o fanela u fa. Lini? Gabriele o ri: “Hó fhela dzivhege dzi ná mahumi maṱanu-na-ḽithihi na vhege mbili Muḓodzwa [“Messia,” NW] u ḓo lozwiwa á si na mulandu. . . . [U] ḓo khwaṱhisa mulanga na vhanzhi, vhege [“nthihi,” NW]; vhege ye ya tumulwa nga vhukati u ḓo dzivhisa zwidzimu na misumo.” (Daniele 9:26a, 27a) Tshifhinga tshi konḓaho tsho vha tshi “vhege ye ya tumulwa nga vhukati,” ndi uri vhukati ha vhege ya u fhedza i imelwaho nga miṅwaha.
24 Vhuḓinḓa ha Yesu Kristo ha khagala ho thoma tshipiḓani tsha u fhedza tsha 29 C.E. nahone ha fhedza miṅwaha miraru na tshipiḓa. Samusi zwo porofitiwa, u thomani ha 33 C.E., Kristo o “lozwiwa” musi a tshi fela kha danda ḽa tshengedzo, a ṋekedza vhutshilo hawe ha ṋama sa tshirengululi tsha vhathu. (Yesaya 53:8; Mateo 20:28) Ṱhoḓea ya zwiṱhavhelo zwa zwipuka na zwifhiwa zwine zwa ṱoḓiwa nga Mulayo zwo guma musi Yesu o vuswaho a tshi ṋekedza Mudzimu ngei ṱaḓulu ndeme ya vhutshilo hawe ha ṋama he a vhu ita tshiṱhavhelo. Naho vhotshifhe vha Vhayuda vho bvela phanḓa vha tshi ita zwiṱhavhelo u swika hu tshi fheliswa thembele ya Yerusalema nga 70 C.E., Mudzimu o vha a sa tsha ṱanganedza zwenezwo zwiṱhavhelo. Zwo vha zwo dzhielwa vhudzulo nga tshiṱhavhelo tsha khwine, tshe tsha vha tshi sa tsha ḓo dovhololwa. Muapostola Paulo o ṅwala: “[Kristo] o ṋekedza tshidzimu tshithihi tsha u ṱanzwa zwivhi tshoṱhe. . . . Ngauri nga tshidzimu tshithihi o vuledza a ri ṱanzwa tshoṱhe.”—Vha-Heberu 10:12, 14.
25 Naho tshivhi na lufu zwo bvela phanḓa zwi tshi dina vhathu, u vhulahwa ha Yesu na u vuselwa hawe u tshila ṱaḓulu zwo ḓadzisa vhuporofita. Zwo ‘fhedza dziphambuwo, zwa khunyeledza zwivhi, uri hu pfumelelwe mulandu, uri hu ḓiswe zwivhuya.’ Mudzimu o bvisa mulanga wa Mulayo, we wa bvukulula na u haṱula Vhayuda sa vhaitazwivhi. (Vha-Roma 5:12, 19, 20; Vha-Galata 3:13, 19; Vha-Efesa 2:15; Vha-Kolosa 2:13, 14) Zwino zwivhi zwa vhaitazwivhi vhane vha rembuluwa zwi nga phumulwa, nahone zwiṱafaru zwa hone zwa fheliswa. Nga tshiṱhavhelo tsha Messia tshi pfumelelaho, zwo vha zwi tshi konadzea uri vhane vha vha na lutendo vha pfumedzane na Mudzimu. Vho vha vha tshi nga lavhelela u wana tshifhiwa tsha Mudzimu tsha “u tshila-tshoṱhe kha Kristo Yesu.”—Vha-Roma 3:21-26; 6:22, 23; 1 Yohane 2:1, 2.
26 Ngauralo Yehova a bvisa mulanga wa Mulayo nga lufu lwa Kristo nga 33 C.E. Nga zwenezwo, ho vha hu tshi nga ambiwa hani uri Messia “[u] ḓo khwaṱhisa mulanga na vhanzhi, vhege nthihi”? Nge a ita uri mulanga wa Abrahamu u dzule u tshi shuma. U swika vhege ya vhu-70 i tshi fhela, Mudzimu o fhaṱutshedza na vhaḓuhulu vha Abrahamu vha Vhaheberu nga wonoyo mulanga. Fhedzi mafheloni a “dzivhege dzi na mahumi maṱanu-na-mavhili” dzi imelaho miṅwaha, nga 36 C.E., muapostola Petro o huwelela Koronelio, Mutaliana o ḓikumedzaho, vha nnḓu yawe, na vhaṅwe vha Vhannḓa. Nahone u bva nga ḽeneḽo ḓuvha u ya phanḓa, mafhungo maḓifha a thoma u huwelelwa vhukati ha vhathu vha dzitshaka.—Mishumo 3:25, 26; 10:1-48; Vha-Galata 3:8, 9, 14.
27 Honoho vhuporofita ho dovha ha amba hu tshee nga phanḓa nga ha u ḓodzwa ha “fhethu hukhethwa-khethwa.” Hezwi a zwi ambi u ḓodzwa ha Fhethu Hukhethwa-khethwa, kana kamara i re bvungwi, ya thembele ngei Yerusalema. Mubulo une wa ri “hukhethwa-khethwa” hafha u amba fhethu hukhethwa ha ṱaḓulu ha Mudzimu. Henefho, Yesu o ṋekedza Khotsi awe ndeme ya tshiṱhavhelo tshawe tsha ṋama. Tshenetsho tshiṱhavhelo tsho ḓodza, kana tsho khetha, henefho fhethu ha vhukuma ha ṱaḓulu, ha muya hu imelwaho nga Fhethu Hukhethwa-khethwa ha nnḓu ya mulanga ya kha ḽifhasi na aletare ye ya vha hone nga murahu ha zwenezwo.—Vha-Heberu 9:11, 12.
VHUPOROFITA VHU KHWAṰHISWA NGA MUDZIMU
28 Honoho vhuporofita ha Vhumessia he ha ambiwa nga muruṅwa Gabriele ho dovha ha amba nga ha ‘u vhewa ha luswayo kha mabono na vhaporofita.’ Hezwi zwo amba uri zwoṱhe zwo dzulaho zwo ambiwa malugana na Messia—zwoṱhe zwe a zwi khunyeledza nga tshiṱhavhelo tshawe, nga mvuwo yawe, na nga u bvelela hawe ngei ṱaḓulu, kathihi na nga zwiṅwe zwithu zwe zwa itea nga vhege ya vhu-70—zwi ḓo swaiwa nga luswayo lwa u ṱanganedzwa nga Mudzimu, zwo vha zwi tshi ḓo ḓadzea, nahone zwo vha zwi tshi ḓo fulufhelwa. Ḽeneḽo bono ḽi ḓo swaiwa, ḽa vha ḽa Messia fhedzi. Ḽo vha ḽi tshi ḓo ḓadzea khae na kha mushumo wa Mudzimu ngae. Ro vha ri tshi ḓo wana ṱhalutshedzelo ya vhukuma ya bono malugana na Messia we a dzula o ambiwa fhedzi. Ho vha hu sa ḓo vha na zwine zwa ḓo thutha luswayo lwa zwine ḽa amba zwone.
29 U thomani Gabriele o vha o no porofita uri Yerusalema wo vha u tshi ḓo fhaṱululwa. Zwino u amba hu tshee nga phanḓa nga ha u fheliswa ha wonoyo muḓi wo fhaṱululwaho na thembele yawo, a tshi ri: “Muḓi na fhethu hukhethwa hu ḓo thuthiwa nga lushaka lwa khosi ine ya ḓo ḓa, ine u fhela hayo ha ḓo vha u kumbiwa; u guma nga vhufhelo hu ḓo vha na nndwa na u thuthiwa he ha ambiwa ha khwaṱhiswa. . . . Zwi nengisaho zwa phusuphusu zwi ḓo vha kha dziphapha; u lovha, na zwiḽa zwe zwa ambiwa zwa khwaṱhiswa zwi ḓo vhuya zwa shuluwela yeneyo phusuphusu.” (Daniele 9:26b, 27b) Naho honohu u thuthiwa ho vha hu tshi ḓo itea nga murahu ha “dzivhege dzi na mahumi maṱanu-na-mavhili,” ho vha hu tshi ḓo bveledzwa nga ho livhaho nga zwiitea zwa “vhege” ya u fhedza, musi Vhayuda vha tshi landula Kristo nahone vha mu vhulaha.—Mateo 23:37, 38.
30 Mafhungo a ḓivhazwakale a sumbedza uri nga 66 C.E., mmbi dza Vharoma nga fhasi ha Cestius Gallus Muvhusi wa Siria dzo tanga Yerusalema. Hu sa londwi u ḓilwela ha Vhayuda, mmbi dza Vharoma dze dza vha dzo hwala zwiphugaṱhalu, kana zwitungulo zwa midzimu i sili, dzo dzhena muḓini nahone dza thoma u wisa mutsheṱo wa thembele nga thungo ya devhula. U ima hadzo henefho ho dzi ita uri dzi vhe “zwi nengisaho” zwe zwa vha zwi tshi ḓo ḓisa ndozwo ya tshoṱhe.

A vho ngo thivhelwa nga tshithu, ngauri zwo vha zwo laedzwa—‘zwo ambiwa zwa khwaṱhiswa’—nga Mudzimu. Yehova, Muvhulunga-tshifhinga Muhulwane, o dovha a ḓadzisa ipfi ḽawe!

Thembele Khulwane Ya Yehova Ya Muya
“Ri na Tshifhé-muhulu o raloho, . . . Ene mukoma wa nnḓu khethwa, thumba ya mulanga ya ngoho, yo fhaṱiwaho nga Mudzimu, i songo fhaṱiwaho nga muthu.”—VHA-HEBERU 8:1, 2.
YEHOVA MUDZIMU, nge a funesa vhathu, o ṋekedza tshiṱhavhelo tshi hwalaho zwivhi zwa shango. (Yohane 1:29; 3:16) Zwo ṱoḓa uri hu fhiriselwe vhutshilo ha Murwa wawe wa tanzhe vhu tshi bva ṱaḓulu mbumbeloni ya musidzana wa Muyuda a no pfi Maria. Muruṅwa wa Yehova o ṱalutshedza zwavhuḓi Maria uri ṅwana we a vha a tshi ḓo mu beba o vha a tshi ḓo ‘pfi Mukhethwa Murwa wa Mudzimu.’ (Luka 1:34, 35) Yosefa, we a vha o fulufhedzisa u vhinga Maria, o vhudzwa nga ha nḓila ya vhuṱolo ya u bebwa ha Yesu nahone a pfa uri onoyu o vha a tshi ḓo “tshidza vhathu vhawe zwivhini zwavho.”—Mateo 1:20, 21.
2 Musi Yesu a tshi aluwa, u fanela u vha o pfesesa maṅwe a anea mafhungo a ndeme a mbebo yawe ya vhuṱolo. O vha a tshi zwi ḓivha uri Khotsi awe wa ṱaḓulu o vha e na mushumo wa u tshidza une ene a fanela u u ita kha ḽifhasi. Ngauralo, sa munna o no vhinaho wa miṅwaha i ṱoḓaho u vha 30, Yesu o ḓa kha muporofita wa Mudzimu Yohane uri a lovhedzwe Mulamboni wa Yorodane.—Marko 1:9; Luka 3:23.
3 Yesu o vha a tshi khou rabela musi a tshi khou lovhedzwa. (Luka 3:21) Zwi tou pfala uri u bva kha honovhu vhuimo vhutshiloni hawe, o ḓadzisa maipfi a Psalme ya 40:6-8, samusi nga murahu zwo sumbedzwa nga muapostola Paulo: “Zwidzimu na misumo a wo ngo zwi funa; tshe wa mbumbela ndi muvhili.” (Vha-Heberu 10:5) Nga zwenezwo Yesu o sumbedza u ṱhogomela hawe uri Mudzimu ‘ho ngo funa’ zwiṱhavhelo zwa zwipuka zwi tshi bvela phanḓa u ṋekedzwa thembeleni ya Yerusalema. Nṱhani hazwo, o ṱhogomela uri Mudzimu o vha o mu lugiselela muvhili wa muthu wo fhelelaho, Yesu, uri u ṋekedzwe sa tshiṱhavhelo. Hezwi zwo vha zwi tshi ḓo fhelisa ṱhoḓea naho i ifhio ya zwiṱhavhelo zwa zwipuka. A tshi sumbedza lutamo lwawe lu bvaho mbiluni lwa u ḓiṋekedzela zwine Mudzimu a zwi funa, Yesu o bvela phanḓa u rabela uri: “Asizwi, ndi a ḓa; kha bugu ho ṅwaliwa anga; uri ndi shume zwe iwe Mudzimu wa zwi funa.” (Vha-Heberu 10:7) Ndi tsumbo i swayeaho lungafhani ya tshivhindi na u ḓikumedza hu si ha tseḓa ye Yesu nga ḽeneḽo ḓuvha a i vhetshela vhoṱhe vhe nga murahu vha vha vha tshi ḓo vha vhafunziwa vhawe!—Marko 8:34.
4 Naa Mudzimu o sumbedza u takalela thabelo ya Yesu ya ndovhedzo? Tendelani muṅwe wa vhaapostola vha Yesu vho khethwaho a ri ṋee phindulo: “Ha ri Yesu ó lovhedzwa, á kha ḓi ri u̗ bva maḓini, ḽiṱaḓulu ḽa vulea, a vhona Muya wa Mudzimu u tshi tsa vhunga ḽiivha u tshi ḓa kha ene; Ha pfala ipfi ḽi bvaho ṱaḓulu ḽa ri: Ndi ene Murwa-mufunwa wanga uyu, ané nda mu takalela.”—Mateo 3:16, 17; Luka 3:21, 22.
5 U ṱanganedza ha Mudzimu u ṋekedzwa ha muvhili wa Yesu sa tshiṱhavhelo zwo amba uri, ho vha na aletare khulwane u fhira i re thembeleni ya Yerusalema nga lwa muya. Aletare ya vhukuma ye zwipuka zwa vha zwi tshi ṋekedzwa khayo sa tshiṱhavhelo yo vha i tshi fanyisela yeneyo aletare ya muya, ye nga maṅwe maipfi ya vha i zwine Mudzimu a “zwi funa” kana nzudzanyo ya u ṱanganedza vhutshilo ha muthu ha Yesu sa tshiṱhavhelo. (Vha-Heberu 10:10) Ndi ngazwo muapostola Paulo o vha a tshi nga ṅwalela Vhakriste ngae uri: “Ri na aletare yashu, iné vhaḽa vha shumelaho thumba [kana, thembele] iḽa vha si vhe na maanḓa u ḽa zwi bvaho kha yone.” (Vha-Heberu 13:10) Nga maṅwe maipfi, Vhakriste vha ngoho vha vhuyelwa nga tshiṱhavhelo tshihulwane tshi pfumelelaho zwivhi, tshe vhunzhi ha vhotshifhe vha Vhayuda vha tshi landula.
6 U ḓodzwa ha Yesu nga muyamukhethwa zwo amba uri zwino Mudzimu o vha o bveledza nzudzanyo yawe yoṱhe ya thembele ya muya, Yesu a tshi khou shuma sa Tshifhe Muhulu. (Mishumo 10:38; Vha-Heberu 5:5) Mufunziwa Luka o hevhedzwa u bula ṅwaha wa tshenetshi tshiitea tshi swayeaho sa “ṅwaha wa fumi na vhuṱanu wa vhuhosi ha khosi Tiberio.” (Luka 3:1-3) Zwenezwo zwi tendelana na ṅwaha wa 29 C.E.—vhege dza miṅwaha dza 69, kana miṅwaha ya 483, u bva tshifhingani tshe Khosi Arithasasitha a ṋea ndaela ya uri mbondo dza Yerusalema dzi fhaṱululwe. (Nehemia 2:1, 5-8) U ya nga vhuporofita, “Muḓodzwa Mu-ranga-phanḓa” o vha a tshi ḓo bvelela kha wonoyo ṅwaha wo swaiwaho. (Daniele 9:25) Nga hu re khagala hezwo zwo vha zwi tshi ḓivhiwa nga Vhayuda vhanzhi. Luka u vhiga uri “vhathu vha tshi vhó elekanya” nga ha u bvelela ha Messia, kana Kristo, madzina a bvaho kha maipfi a Luheberu na Lugerika ane a amba, “muḓodzwa.”—Luka 3:15.
7 Musi Yesu a tshi lovhedzwa, hune Mudzimu a dzula hone ṱaḓulu ho vha ho ḓodzwa, kana ho khethiwa, sa “fhethu hukhethwa-khethwa” nzudzanyoni ya thembele khulwane ya muya. (Daniele 9:24) “Thumba ya mulanga ya ngoho [kana, thembele], yo fhaṱiwaho nga Mudzimu, i songo fhaṱiwaho nga muthu” yo vha yo thoma u shuma. (Vha-Heberu 8:2) Zwiṅwe hafhu, nga u lovhedzwa maḓini na nga muyamukhethwa, muthu Yesu Kristo o bebwa hafhu sa Murwa wa Mudzimu wa muya. (Vhambedzani Yohane 3:3.) Hezwi zwo amba uri nga tshifhinga tsho teaho Mudzimu o vha a tshi ḓo vusela Murwa wawe vhutshiloni ha ṱaḓulu, he a vha a tshi ḓo shuma kha tshanḓa tsha u ḽa tsha Khotsi awe sa Khosi na Tshifhe Muhulu “nga mulayo wa Melkizedeke.”—Vha-Heberu 6:20; Psalme ya 110:1, 4.
Fhethu Hukhethwa-khethwa Ha Ṱaḓulu
8 Nga ḓuvha ḽa ndovhedzo ya Yesu, khuluṋoni ya Mudzimu ya ṱaḓulu yo vha yo no vha na masia maswa. Ṱhoḓea ya tshiṱhavhelo tsha muthu tsho fhelelaho tsha u pfumelela zwivhi zwa shango yo ombedzela vhukhethwa ha Mudzimu ho fhambanaho na u vha na tshivhi ha muthu. Khathutshelo ya Mudzimu yo ita na u ombedzelwa nga uri zwino o sumbedza u ḓifunela hawe u pfumedzanywa. Nga zwenezwo khuluṋoni ya Mudzimu ngei ṱaḓulu yo vha i tshi vho nga fhethu ha ngomu-ngomu thembeleni, he tshifhe muhulu a vha a tshi dzhena luthihi nga ṅwaha na malofha a tshipuka u itela u pfumelela tshivhi nga lwa pfanyisedzo.
9 Lupila lwo khethekanyaho fhethu Hukhethwa na fhethu Hukhethwa-khethwa lwo vha lu tshi fanyisela muvhili wa Yesu wa ṋama. (Vha-Heberu 10:19, 20) Wo vha u tshithivheli tshe tsha thivhela Yesu u dzhena hu re na Khotsi awe musi a kha ḓi vha muthu kha ḽifhasi. (1 Vha-Korinta 15:50) Tshifhingani tsha lufu lwa Yesu, ‘ṅwenda wo tsiraho fhethu hukhethwa-khethwa, wo kheruwa u bva ṱaḓulu u swika fhasi.’ (Mateo 27:51) Hezwi zwo sumbedza nga hu swayeaho uri tshithivheli tshi thivhelaho Yesu uri a dzhene ṱaḓulu zwino tsho vha tsho bviswa. Nga murahu ha maḓuvha mararu, Yehova Mudzimu o ita vhuṱolo vhuhulwane. O vusa Yesu vhafuni, hu si sa muthu wa ṋama na malofha a faho, fhedzi sa tshivhumbwa tsha muya tshi re na vhugala ‘tshi lalamaho.’ (Vha-Heberu 7:24) Nga murahu ha maḓuvha a 40, Yesu a gonya ṱaḓulu a dzhena “fhethu Hukhethwa-khethwa,” ‘u vhonala phanḓa ha tshifhaṱuwo tsha Mudzimu a tshi itela riṋe.’—Vha-Heberu 9:24.
10 Naa Mudzimu o ṱanganedza ndeme ya malofha a Yesu o shululwaho sa tshipfumelelo tsha zwivhi zwa shango? Vhukuma o i ṱanganedza. Vhuṱanzi ha zwenezwi ho vha hone nga murahu ha maḓuvha a 50 musi Yesu o no vuswa vhafuni, nga ḓuvha ḽa vhuṱambo ha Pentekoste. Muyamukhethwa wa Mudzimu wo shululelwa kha vhafunziwa vha Yesu vha 120 vho kuvhanganaho ngei Yerusalema. (Mishumo 2:1, 4, 33) U fana na Tshifhe Muhulu wavho, Yesu Kristo, zwino vho vha vho ḓodzwa uri vha shume sa “vho-tshifhé vhakhethwa vha swikisaho zwidzimu lwa muya” nzudzanyoni ya thembele khulwane ya Mudzimu ya muya. (1 Petro 2:5) Zwiṅwe hafhu, vhenevha vho ḓodzwaho vho vhumba lushaka luswa, “lushaka lukhethwa” lwa Mudzimu lwa Isiraele wa muya. U bva henefho, vhuporofita hoṱhe ha zwithu zwavhuḓi nga ha Isiraele, vhu ngaho sa fulufhedziso ḽa “mulanga muswa” ho ṅwalwaho kha Yeremia 31:31, ho vha vhu tshi ḓo shuma kha tshivhidzo tsha Vhakriste vho ḓodzwaho, “Isiraele wa Mudzimu,” wa vhukuma.—1 Petro 2:9, NW; Vha-Galata 6:16.
Maṅwe Masia A Thembele Ya Mudzimu Ya Muya
11 Naho fhethu Hukhethwa-khethwa hu tshi fanyisela “ḽiṱaḓulu ḽone ḽine,” he Mudzimu a dzula khuluṋonini, maṅwe masia oṱhe a thembele ya Mudzimu ya muya a tshimbidzana na zwithu zwa kha ḽifhasi. (Vha-Heberu 9:24) Thembeleni ya Yerusalema, ho vha hu na muṱa wa nga ngomu wa vhotshifhe u re na aletare ya tshiṱhavhelo na sambelo ḽihulwane ḽa maḓi, ḽe vhotshifhe vha vha vha tshi ḓikunakisa khaḽo musi vha sa athu ita tshumelo khethwa. Izwi zwithu zwi fanyisela mini nzudzanyoni ya thembele ya Mudzimu ya muya?
12 Malugana na Yesu Kristo, muṱa wa nga ngomu wa vhotshifhe wo vha u tshi fanyisela vhuimo hawe ha u sa vha na tshivhi sa Murwa wa Mudzimu a re muthu o fhelelaho. Nga u vha na lutendo kha tshiṱhavhelo tsha Yesu, vhatevheli vha Kristo vho ḓodzwaho vha ṋewa u luga. Nga zwenezwo, Mudzimu a nga shumisana navho nga ho fanelaho zwa nga a vha na tshivhi. (Vha-Roma 5:1; 8:1, 33) Nga zwenezwo, hoyu muṱa u ita na u fanyisela vhuimo ha vhathu ho lugaho he vha vhewa khaho vhune miraḓo ya vhotshifhe vhakhethwa ya ḓiphina ngaho phanḓa ha Mudzimu. Naho zwo ralo, Vhakriste vho ḓodzwaho a vho ngo fhelela nahone vha nga ita tshivhi. Sambelo ḽa maḓi ḽi re muṱani ḽi fanyisela Ipfi ḽa Mudzimu, ḽine Tshifhe Muhulu a ḽi shumisa u kunakisa vhotshifhe vhakhethwa u bvela phanḓa. Nga u ḓiṋekedza kha enea maitele a u kunakisa, vho swikelela mbonalo i ṱhonifheaho ine ya hulisa Mudzimu nahone ya sendedza vhannḓa kha vhurabeli hawe ho kunaho.—Vha-Efesa 5:25, 26; vhambedzani Maleaxi 3:1-3.
Fhethu Hukhethwa
13 Fhethu ha u thoma ha thembele hu fanyisela vhuimo vhuhulwane kha muṱa. Malugana na muthu o fhelelaho Yesu Kristo, hu fanyisela u dovha hawe u bebwa sa Murwa wa muya wa Mudzimu o telwaho u dovha a tshila ṱaḓulu. Musi vho no itwa vho lugaho, nga mutheo wa lutendo lwavho kha malofha a Kristo o shululwaho, vhenevha vhatevheli vho ḓodzwaho vha ita na u tshenzhela honohu u shuma ho khetheaho ha muya wa Mudzimu. (Vha-Roma 8:14-17) “Maḓini [ndi uri, ndovhedzo yavho] na muyani,” vha ‘dovha vha bebwa’ sa vharwa vha Mudzimu vha muya. Nga zwenezwo, vha na fulufhelo ḽa u vuselwa vhutshiloni ha ṱaḓulu sa vharwa vha Mudzimu vha muya, arali vha dzula vha tshi fulufhedzea u swika lufuni.—Yohane 3:5, 7; Ndzumbululo 2:10.
14 Vhotshifhe vhe vha vha vha tshi shuma fhethu Hukhethwa thembeleni ya kha ḽifhasi vho vha vha sa vhonwi nga vhagwadameli vha re nnḓa. Zwi fanaho na zwenezwo, Vhakriste vho ḓodzwaho vha tshenzhela vhuimo ha muya vhu sa ṱanganelwi kana u pfeseswa tshoṱhe nga vhunzhi ha vhagwadameli vha Mudzimu, vhane vha fulufhela u tshila tshoṱhe kha ḽifhasi ḽa paradiso. Zwiṱomambone zwa musuku zwa nḓuni ya mulanga zwi fanyisela vhuimo ho vhonetshelwaho ha Vhakriste vho ḓodzwaho. U shuma ha muyamukhethwa wa Mudzimu, u fana na mapfura a dzimbone, hu vhonetshela Bivhili. Pfeseso ine Vhakriste vha i wana nga zwenezwo, a vha dzuli nayo. Nṱhani hazwo, vha thetshelesa Yesu, we a ri: “Inwi ni tshedza tsha shango. . . . Tshaṋu tshedza kha tshi vhonetshele vhathu ngauralo; kha vha vhone zwivhuya kha inwi, vha rende khotsi-aṋu wa ṱaḓulu.”—Mateo 5:14, 16.
15 U itela uri vha dzule kha honovhu vhuimo ho vhonetshelwaho, misi yoṱhe Vhakriste vho ḓodzwaho vha fanela u ḓikanzwa nga zwi fanyiselwaho nga zwinkwa zwi re ṱafulani ya zwinkwa zwikhethwa. Tshisima tshavho tshihulwane tsha zwiḽiwa zwa muya ndi Ipfi ḽa Mudzimu, ḽine vha lwela u ḽi vhala na u ḽi elekanya ḓuvha ḽiṅwe na ḽiṅwe. Yesu o ita na u fulufhedzisa u vha ṋea “zwiḽiwa nga tshikhathi tshazwo” nga ‘mukoma wawe a fulufhedzeaho na wa vhuṱali.’ (Mateo 24:45) Onoyu “mukoma” ndi tshigwada tshoṱhe tsha Vhakriste vho ḓodzwaho kha ḽifhasi nga tshifhinga naho tshi tshifhio. Kristo o shumisa tshenetshi tshigwada tsho ḓodzwaho u gandisa mafhungo nga ha u ḓadzea ha vhuporofita ha Bivhili na u ṋea vhulivhisi vhu re nga tshifhinga nga ha u shumisa maitele a Bivhili vhutshiloni ha musalauno ha ḓuvha ḽiṅwe na ḽiṅwe. Nga zwenezwo, Vhakriste vho ḓodzwaho vha ḓikanzwa vha tshi livhuha dzenedzo ndugiselelo dzoṱhe dza muya. Fhedzi u fusha vhutshilo havho ha muya zwi ḓitika nga zwo engedzeaho u fhira u ṱanganedza nḓivho ya Mudzimu mihumbuloni na mbiluni dzavho. Yesu o ri: “Zwanga zwiḽiwa ndi uri nda ita zwi funwaho nga o nthumaho, nda vuledza mushumo wawe.” (Yohane 4:34) Zwi ngaho zwenezwo, Vhakriste vho ḓodzwaho vha fushea ḓuvha ḽiṅwe na ḽiṅwe nga u ḓiṋekedzela kha u ita zwi funwaho nga Mudzimu zwo dzumbululwaho.
16 Nga matsheloni na nga madekwana, tshifhe o vha a tshi ṋekedza zwioro kha Mudzimu kha aletare ya zwioro fhethu Hukhethwa. Nga tshenetsho tshifhinga, vhagwadameli vhane vha si vhe vhotshifhe vho vha vha tshi rabela Mudzimu vho ima miṱani ya nnḓa ya thembele yawe. (Luka 1:8-10) Bivhili i a ṱalutshedza: “Zwioro, ndi dzithabelo dza vhakhethwa.” (Ndzumbululo 5:8) Mupsalme Davida o ṅwala uri: “Thabelo yanga nga i nge zwioro phanḓa hau.” (Psalme ya 141:2) Vhakriste vho ḓodzwaho na vhone vha dzhiela nṱha ndugelo yavho ya u amba na Yehova nga thabelo nga Yesu Kristo. Thabelo dzi pfalaho dzi bvaho mbiluni dzi nga zwioro zwi nukhelelaho. Vhakriste vho ḓodzwaho vha ita na u renda Mudzimu nga dziṅwe nḓila, vha shumisa milomo yavho u funza vhaṅwe. U konḓelela havho vho sedzana na vhuleme na u fulufhedzea havho mulingoni vhukuma zwi takadza Mudzimu.—1 Petro 2:20, 21.
17 Nga Ḓuvha ḽa u Pfumelelwa, tshifhe muhulu wa Isiraele o vha a tshi fanela u dzhena fhethu Hukhethwa-khethwa nahone a fhisa zwioro kha ludongo lwa musuku lu re na masimbe a fhisaho. Hezwi zwo vha zwi tshi fanela u itwa musi a sa athu ḓisa malofha a zwidzimu zwa tshivhi. Hu tshi ḓadzea honovhu vhuporofita, muthu Yesu o dzula a tshi fulufhedzea vhukuma kha Yehova Mudzimu musi a sa athu ṋekedza vhutshilo hawe sa tshiṱhavhelo tshithihi tsha u khunyeledza tsha zwivhi zwashu. Nga zwenezwo o sumbedza uri muthu o fhelelaho a nga fulufhedzea kha Mudzimu hu sa londwi mutsiko naho u ufhio une Sathane a nga mu ḓisela wone. (Mirero 27:11) Musi a tshi lingwa, Yesu o shumisa thabelo ‘nga zwililo zwa mukosi muhulu, na maṱodzi, nahone a pfiwa ngauri o vha a tshi ofha Mudzimu.’ (Vha-Heberu 5:7) Nga yeneyi nḓila o ṋea Yehova vhugala sa Muvhusi wa fhethu hoṱhe o lugaho na o teaho. Mudzimu o ṋea Yesu malamba nga u mu vusa vhafuni a mu ṋea vhutshilo ha ṱaḓulu ha u sa fa. Kha honovhu vhuimo ha nṱha, Yesu u ṋea ṱhogomelo tshiitisi tsha vhuvhili tsha u ḓa hawe kha ḽifhasi, tshine tsha vha, u pfumedzanya vhathu vha rembuluwaho vha re na tshivhi na Mudzimu.—Vha-Heberu 4:14-16.
Vhugala Vhuhulwane Ha Thembele Ya Mudzimu Ya Muya
18 Yehova o dzula o amba uri: “Vhugala ha heino nnḓu ya vhuvhili vhu ḓo fhira ha iḽa ya kale.” (Hagai 2:9) Nga u vusa Yesu vhafuni sa Khosi na Tshifhe Muhulu a sa fi, Yehova o ṋea vhugala vhuhulwane thembele yawe ya muya. Zwino Yesu u vhuimoni ha u ‘isa vha mu pfaho kha u tshidzwa tshoṱhe.’ (Vha-Heberu 5:9) Vhe vha thoma u sumbedza honoho u thetshelesa vho vha vhe vhafunziwa vha 120 vhe vha ṱanganedza muyamukhethwa nga Pentekoste nga 33 C.E. Bugu ya Ndzumbululo yo dzula yo amba uri vhenevha vharwa vha muya vha Isiraele mafheleloni vho vha vha tshi ḓo vha 144 000. (Ndzumbululo 7:4) Musi vho no fa, vhunzhi havho vho vha vho fanela u dzula vhiḓani ḽa muthu ḽo ḓoweleaho vha sa pfi tshithu, vho lindela tshifhinga tsha u vha hone ha Yesu maanḓani a vhuhosi. U tevhekana ha zwifhinga zwa vhuporofita vhu re kha Daniele 4:10-17, 20-27 hu sumba kha 1914 sa tshifhinga tsha Yesu tsha u thoma u vhusa vhukati ha maswina awe. (Psalme ya 110:2) Nga miṅwaha ya mahumi nga phanḓa, Vhakriste vho ḓodzwaho vho vha vho lindela wonoyo ṅwaha nga maṱo matswuku. Nndwa ya shango ya u thoma na maṱungu a tshimbidzanaho nayo kha vhathu zwo ṋea vhuṱanzi ha uri vhukuma Yesu o vhewa khuluṋonini sa Khosi nga 1914. (Mateo 24:3, 7, 8) Nga murahunyana, tshifhinga tsho no swika tsha uri ‘nnḓu ya Mudzimu i thome u haṱulwa,’ Yesu o vha a tshi ḓo ḓadzisa zwe a fulufhedzisa vhafunziwa vhawe vho ḓodzwaho vhe vha fa: “Ndi ḓo vhuya nda ni dzhia uri ni ḓe huné nṋe nda vha hone.”—1 Petro 4:17; Yohane 14:3.
19 Miraḓo ya 144 000 ya vhotshifhe vho ḓodzwaho a yo ngo swaiwa yoṱhe tshoṱhe na u kuvhanganyelwa hayani hayo ha ṱaḓulu. Masalela avho a kha ḓi tshila kha ḽifhasi vhuimoni ha muya vhu fanyiselwaho nga fhethu Hukhethwa, ho khethekanywaho kha hune Mudzimu a vha hone hukhethwa nga “lupila,” kana tshithivheli, tsha mivhili yavho ya ṋama. Musi vhenevha vha tshi fa vha tshi fulufhedzea, nga khathihi fhedzi vha vuswa sa zwivhumbwa zwa muya zwi sa fi uri vha ṱangane na vha 144 000 vha re ṱaḓulu.—1 Vha-Korinta 15:51-53.
20 Samusi hu na vhotshifhe vhanzhi nga u rali vha tshi khou shuma na Tshifhe Muhulu ṱaḓulu, thembele ya Mudzimu ya muya yo wana vhugala ho engedzeaho. Nga tshenetsho tshifhinga, vha masalela a vhotshifhe vhakhethwa vha khou ita mushumo wa ndeme kha ḽifhasi. Nga u huwelela havho, Mudzimu u khou ‘dzinginyisa dzitshaka’ nga mibulo ya khaṱulo yawe, samusi zwo dzula zwo ambiwa kha Hagai 2:7. Nga tshenetsho tshifhinga, vhagwadameli vha dzimilioni vho ṱaluswaho sa “madzanga a dzoṱhe dzitshakha” vha khou kuvhangana miṱani ya kha ḽifhasi ya thembele ya Yehova. Vhenevha vha fanelea hani kha nzudzanyo ya Mudzimu ya vhurabeli, nahone ndi vhufhio vhugala ha tshifhinga tshi ḓaho vhune ra nga vhu lavhelela kha thembele yawe khulwane ya muya? Hedzi mbudziso dzi ḓo ṱolwa kha thero i tevhelaho.

Zwiṱhavhelo zwavho zwa thendo kha Yehova zwo vha zwo thivhelwa nga maanḓa, nahone vha si tsha vha na mafulufulu muyani. Hezwi zwoṱhe zwo vha zwo dzula zwo ambiwa kha Sakaria 14:2, ine ya ṱalusa mvutshelo ya tshaka dzoṱhe kha Yerusalema. Muḓi wa hovhu vhuporofita ndi “Yerusalema wa ṱaḓulu,” Muvhuso wa Mudzimu wa ṱaḓulu na fhethu ha “khuluṋoni ya Mudzimu na ya Ngwana.” (Vha-Heberu 12:22, 28; 13:14; Ndzumbululo 22:3) Vho ḓodzwaho vha Mudzimu kha ḽifhasi vha imela wonoyo muḓi. Vha fulufhedzeaho vhukati havho vho ponyoka yeneyo mvutshelo, vha hana u thathiwa “muḓini.”
2 Nga 1919 vho ḓodzwaho vha fulufhedzeaho vho vhofhololwa vhupulini havho, nahone vha mbo ḓi shumisa tshifhinga tsha mulalo tshe tsha tevhela nndwa. Sa vhaambeli vha Yerusalema wa ṱaḓulu, vho dzhia tshibuli tshihulwane tsha u huwelela mafhungo maḓifha a Muvhuso wa Mudzimu na u thusa u kuvhanganya miraḓo ya u fhedza ya vha 144 000. (Mateo 24:14; 2 Vha-Korinta 5:20) Nga 1931 vha ṱanganedza dzina ḽo teaho ḽi bvaho Maṅwaloni ḽa Ṱhanzi dza Yehova.—Yesaya 43:10, 12.
3 U bva tsheetsho, Ṱhanzi dza Mudzimu dzo ḓodzwaho dzo bvela phanḓa tshoṱhe. Na Hitler na Vhunazi hawe ha politiki na vhuswole ho ngo kona u vha thivhela. Hu sa londwi u tovholwa ha shango ḽoṱhe, mushumo wavho wo bveledza zwiaṋwiwa ḽifhasini ḽoṱhe. Zwihuluhulu u bva nga ṅwaha wa 1935, vha “gogo ḽihulu” ḽa tshaka dzoṱhe vho dzulaho vho ambiwa kha bugu ya Ndzumbululo vho ṱanganela navho. Vhenevha na vhone ndi Vhakriste vho ḓiṋekedzaho, vho lovhedzwaho nahone “vho ṱanzwa, vho tshenisa nguvho dzavho nga malofha a Ngwana,” Yesu Kristo. (Ndzumbululo 7:9, 14) Naho zwo ralo, vhone a si vho ḓodzwaho, a vha na fulufhelo ḽa u tshila ṱaḓulu. Fulufhelo ḽavho ndi u wana zwo xedzwaho nga Adamu na Eva, zwine zwa vha, vhutshilo ha muthu ho fhelelaho kha ḽifhasi ḽa paradiso. (Psalme ya 37:29; Mateo 25:34) Ṋamusi, gogo ḽihulu ḽi na tshivhalo tshi fhiraho milioni ṱhanu. Vhurabeli ha Yehova ha ngoho vhu khou kunda, fhedzi gundo ḽaho ḽa u fhedza ḽi kha ḓi ḓa.
Vhatsinda Thembeleni Ya Mudzimu Ya Muya
4 Samusi zwo dzula zwo ambiwa, vha gogo ḽihulu ‘vha gwadamela Mudzimu masiari na vhusiku nḓuni khethwa yawe.’ (Ndzumbululo 7:15, ṱhaluso i re magumoni a siaṱari, NW) Samusi vhe si vhotshifhe vha Vhaisiraele vha muya, zwi vhonala uri Yohane o vha vhona vho ima thembeleni muṱani wa nnḓa wa Vhannḓa. (1 Petro 2:5) Thembele ya Yehova ya muya yo no vha na vhugala lungafhani, vhupo hayo ho ḓadzwa nga vhenevha vha gogo ḽihulu vhane, khathihi na vha masalela a Isiraele wa muya, vha khou mu renda!
5 Vha gogo ḽihulu a vha shumeli Mudzimu vhuimoni vhu fanyiswaho nga muṱa wa ngomu wa vhotshifhe. A vha itwi vho lugaho u itela ndivho ya u vha vharwa vha Mudzimu vha muya, vho ṱanganedzwaho. (Vha-Roma 8:1, 15) Naho zwo ralo, nga u vha na lutendo kha tshiṱhavhelo tsha Yesu, vha na vhuimo ho kunaho phanḓa ha Yehova. Vha itwa vho lugaho u itela uri vha vhe khonani dzawe. (Vhambedzani Yakobo 2:21, 23.) Na vhone vha na ndugelo ya u ṋekedza zwiṱhavhelo zwi ṱanganedzwaho kha aletare ya Mudzimu ya muya. Nga zwenezwo, malugana na ḽeneḽi gogo ḽihulu, vhuporofita ha Yesaya 56:6, 7 vhu khou ḓadzea nga nḓila i mangadzaho: “Vhatsinda vhe vha ḓa vha vha vhathu vha Yehova vha mu shumela, vha funa dzina ḽa Yehova, . . . vhenevho ndi ḓo vha ḓisa thavhani khethwa yanga, ndi ḓo vha takadza nḓuni yanga ya thabelo. Zwiṱhavhelo zwavho na zwidzimu zwavho zwi ḓo takadza kha aletare yanga; ngauri nnḓu yanga i ḓo pfi Nnḓu ya Thabelo ya dzitshakha dzoṱhe.”
6 Kha zwiṱhavhelo zwine vhenevha vhatsinda vha zwi ṋekedza hu na “zwiaṋwiwa zwa milomo [zwi ngaho zwiṱhavhelo zwa musumo zwavhuḓi] i ambaho dzina [ḽa Mudzimu]” na “u itana nga zwivhuya na u ṋeana.” (Vha-Heberu 13:15, 16) Mudzio muhulwane wa maḓi we vhotshifhe vha vha vha tshi fanela u u shumisa u ṱambela khawo na wone ndi tshieletshedzi tsha ndeme tsha vhenevha vhatsinda. Na vhone vha fanela u ḓiṋekedza kha u kunakiswa ha muya na ha vhuḓilisi musi Ipfi ḽa Mudzimu ḽi tshi bviselwa khagala khavho.
Fhethu Hukhethwa Na Thundu Yaho
7 Naa fhethu Hukhethwa na thundu yaho hu na zwine ha amba zwone kha ḽeneḽi gogo ḽihulu ḽa vhatsinda? Vhukuma, a vha nga ḓo vhuya vha vha vhuimoni ho fanyiselwaho nga fhethu Hukhethwa. A vha dovhi vha bebwa sa vharwa vha muya vha Mudzimu vhane vha ḓo dzula ṱaḓulu. Naa izwi zwi ita uri vha ḓipfe vhe na vivho? Hai. Nṱhani hazwo, vha takalela ndugelo yavho ya u tikedza vha masalela a 144 000, nahone vha sumbedza u takalela ndivho ya Mudzimu kha u ṱanganedza vhenevha vharwa vha muya, vhane vha ḓo ṱanganela na Kristo kha u isa vhathu u fhelelani. Hafhu, vha gogo ḽihulu ḽa vhatsinda vha takalela tshilidzi tshihulwane tsha Mudzimu tshi songo fanelaho nga u vha ṋea fulufhelo ḽa u tshila kha ḽifhasi ḽa vhutshilo vhu sa fheli Paradisoni. Vhaṅwe vha vhenevha vhatsinda, u fana na Vhadzhenela vha kale, vho ṋewa ndugelo dza vhulavhelesi kha u tikedza vhotshifhe vhakhethwa. (Yesaya 61:5) Vhukati havho Yesu u vhea “dzikhosi mashangoni oṱhe.”—Psalme ya 45:16.
8 Naho vha sa ḓo vhuya vha dzhena fhethu Hukhethwa ha pfanyisedzo, vha gogo ḽihulu ḽa vhatsinda vha guda ngudo dza ndeme kha thundu dzaho. Samusi tshiṱomambone tsho vha tshi tshi fanela u dzula tshi na mapfura, ngauralo na vhatsinda vha ṱoḓa muyamukhethwa uri u vha thuse u pfesesa mafhungo-ngoho a bvelaho phanḓa a bvaho Ipfini ḽa Mudzimu, a livhiswaho nga “mukoma a fulufhedzeaho na wa vhuṱali.” (Mateo 24:45-47) Zwiṅwe hafhu, muya wa Mudzimu u vha thusa u aravha u rambiwa hu tevhelaho: “Muya na muselwa [vha masalela o ḓodzwaho] wa ri: Iḓá! na a zwi pfaho nga a ambe a ri: Iḓá! Na a re na ḓora nga a ḓe, a funaho nga a ṱanganedze maḓi a vhutshilo nga fhedzi.” (Ndzumbululo 22:17) Nga zwenezwo, tshiṱomambone ndi tshieletshedzi kha gogo ḽihulu nga ha pfanelo yavho ya u penya sa Vhakriste na u iledza naho tshi tshini kha mavhonele, muhumbulo, ipfi, kana nyito tshine tsha ḓo ṱungufhadza muyamukhethwa wa Mudzimu.—Vha-Efesa 4:30.
9 Ṱafula ya zwinkwa zwikhethwa i humbudza vha gogo ḽihulu uri u itela uri vha dzule vho takala muyani, misi yoṱhe vha fanela u ḽa zwiḽiwa zwa muya zwi bvaho Bivhilini na khandisoni dza “mukoma a fulufhedzeaho na wa vhuṱali.” (Mateo 4:4) Aletare ya zwioro i vha humbudza nga ha ndeme ya u futelela u rabelela thuso ya Yehova u itela uri vha fulufhedzee. (Luka 21:36) Thabelo dzavho dzi fanela u katela na mibulo ya thendo na ndivhuho i bvaho mbiluni. (Psalme ya 106:1) Aletare ya zwioro i dovha ya vha humbudza nga ha ṱhoḓea ya u renda Mudzimu nga dziṅwe nḓila, dzi ngaho u imba nyimbo dza Muvhuso nga mbilu yoṱhe miṱanganoni ya Vhukriste na nga u lugiselela havho zwavhuḓi u itela u ‘ṱanziela nga mulomo wa kona u tshidzwa.’—Vha-Roma 10:10.
Gundo Ḽa Vhurabeli Ha Ngoho Ḽo Khunyelelaho
10 Ṋamusi “mirafho minzhi” ya tshaka dzoṱhe i khou ya nḓuni ya Yehova ya vhurabeli. (Yesaya 2:2, 3) I tshi khwaṱhisa zwenezwi, Ndzumbululo 15:4 i ri: “A nga vha nnyi ané a si U ofhe, Murena, ané a si rende dzina ḽau, ngauri ndi’we ḽigala Ú woṱhe. Ngauri tshakha dzoṱhe dzi ḓo ḓa dza U gwadamela, ngauri u lulamisa hau ho vhonala.” Sakaria ndima ya 14 i ṱalusa zwine zwa tevhela. Zwenezwino, mavhonele mavhi a vhunzhi ha vhathu kha ḽifhasi a ḓo swika vhuimoni ha nṱha musi vha tshi kuvhangana lwa u fhedza u lwa na Yerusalema—vhaimeli vha kha ḽifhasi vha Yerusalema wa ṱaḓulu. Zwenezwo Yehova u ḓo dzhia vhukando. Sa Mudzimu wa Nndwa, u “ḓo bvela idzo tshakha pfumo” dzine dza khou lingedza u ita yeneyi mvutshelo.—Sakaria 14:2, 3.
11 “Dziṱhamu dzine ngadzo’ Yehova a ḓo rwa dzitshakha dzoṱhe dze dza bvela Yerusalema pfumo ngedzi: Mivhili yavho i ḓo sina vhá tshee vhó ima nga milenzhe yavho; maṱo avho a ḓo sina á tshee dziṱhohoni dzavho; malimi avho a ḓo sina é haṋwani havho. Nga ḽeneḽo ḓuvha hu ḓo vha na mufhirifhiri muhulu u bvaho ha Yehova wa vuwa khavho’; vha ḓo farana nga zwanḓa vha lwa nga tshavho.”—Sakaria 14:12, 13.
12 Uri yeneyi ṱhamu ndi ya vhukuma kana ya pfanyisedzo, ri ḓo vhona mvelelo yayo. Naho zwo ralo, zwa vhukuma ndi hezwi. Naho maswina a Mudzimu a tshi khou ḓa u ita mvutshelo ya khungulu yoṱhe kha vhashumeli vha Yehova, a ḓo thivhelwa nga misumbedzo i mangadzaho ya maanḓa mahulwane a Mudzimu. Milomo yavho i ḓo fhumudzwa. Zwi ḓo nga ndimi dzavho dza lunyadzo dzo sina. Tshipikwa tshavho tshithihi tshi ḓo vha kanganyisa, zwa nga maṱo avho o sina. Maanḓa avho a ṋama, e a vha ṋea tshivhindi uri vha ite yeneyo mvutshelo, a ḓo fhela. Vho hanganea, vha ḓo vutshelana vha vhulahana. Nga zwenezwo maswina oṱhe a vhurabeli ha Mudzimu a kha ḽifhasi a ḓo fheliswa. Mafheleloni, tshaka dzoṱhe dzi ḓo vha dzo kombetshedzwa u ṱhogomela vhuvhusahoṱhe ha Yehova. Vhuporofita vhu tevhelaho vhu ḓo ḓadzea: “Yehova u ḓo vha Ene Khosi ya ḽoṱhe ḽifhasi.” (Sakaria 14:9) Nga murahu, Sathane na madimoni awe vha ḓo vhofhiwa musi Vhuvhusi ha Miṅwaha ya Tshigidi ha Kristo vhu tshi thoma nga phaṱutshedzo khulwane dzo vhetshelwaho vhathu.—Ndzumbululo 20:1, 2; 21:3, 4.

13 Vhuporofita ha Sakaria vhu bvela phanḓa kha ndima ya 14, ndimana 16: “Vhoṱhe vha masalela a dzoṱhe dzitshakha dze dza bvela Yerusalema pfumo vha ḓo gonya nga miṅwaha yoṱhe, vha ḓa u losha Khosi Yehova wa Mavhuthu, vha ḓa u ita vhuṱambo ha mishasha.” U ya nga Bivhili, vhathu vhoṱhe vhane vha khou tshila ṋamusi vhane vha bvela phanḓa u swika vhufheloni ha ano maitele mavhi nahone vhane vha dzhiiwa vhe maswina a vhurabeli ha ngoho vha ḓo “wana mulandu wa u lovha tshoṱhe.” (2 Vha-Thesalonika 1:7-9; sedzani na Mateo 25:31-33, 46.) A vha nga ḓo vuswa vhafuni. Zwi vhonala uri zwenezwo vho “salaho,” (NW) vha katela na miraḓo ya tshaka ye ya fa nga phanḓa ha nndwa ya Mudzimu ya u fhedza nahone ine ha vha na fulufhelo ḽa mvuwo ḽo thewaho Bivhilini. Yesu o fulufhedzisa uri: “Hu ḓa tshikhathi, tshiné vhoṱhe vha re zwaloni vha ḓo pfa ipfi ḽawe ngatsho’, Ha ḓo bvelela vho itaho zwivhuya, vha vutshela u tshila; hone vho itaho zwivhi vha ḓo vutshela u haṱulwa.”—Yohane 5:28, 29.
14 Vhenevha vhoṱhe vho vuswaho vhafuni vha fanela u ita tshiṅwe tshithu u itela uri vha vuselwe u tshila nahone vha si vuselwe u haṱulwa luvhi.

(Levitiko 23:39-43) Musi wa honoho vhuṱambo, ho vha hu tshi ṋekedzwa phulu dza 70 kha aletare ya thembele. Zwi tou pfala uri ḽeneḽi sia ḽa vhuṱambo ḽo vha ḽi tshi khou dzula ḽo amba nga ha mushumo wo fhelelaho na u tshidzaho wo itwaho nga Yesu Kristo.

16 Nga zwenezwo Vhuṱambo ha Mishasha ha kale ho sumba kha u kuvhanganywa nga dakalo ha vhaitazwivhi vho rengululwaho thembeleni khulwane ya Yehova ya muya. U ḓadzea ha honovhu vhuṱambo ho thoma nga Pentekoste nga 33 C.E. musi hu tshi thoma u kuvhanganyelwa nga dakalo Vhaisiraele vha muya tshivhidzoni tsha Vhukriste.
