‘Batumine Abaume Bamo’ (Imil. 15:22-29)

11. Bushe aba mwi bumba litungulula bacitile shani pa kuti ifilonganino fishibe ifyo bapingwile?

¹¹ Aba mwi bumba litungulula mu Yerusalemu balisuminishenye no mutima umo pali ili lyashi lya kusembululwa. Lelo, pa kuti aba bwananyina mu filonganino balekonka fimo fine, aba mwi bumba litungulula balekabila ukwishibisha ifilonganino bwino bwino ifyo bapingwile uyu mulandu, kabili bali no kucite fyo no kutemwa, ukwabula ukubakalifya. Nomba bali no kucita shani ici? Baibolo itila: “Abatumwa na bakalamba pamo ne cilonganino conse bapingushenye ukuti batume abaume bamo aba mwi bumba lyabo ku Antioke pamo na Paulo na Barnaba, e kutila Yuda uwaleitwa ati Barisaba na Sila, abali intungulushi pa ba bwananyina.” Na kabili balilembele na kalata iyo balaishe aba baume pa kuti bakabelenge mu filonganino fyonse ifya ku Antioke, ku Siria na ku Kilikia.—Imil. 15:22-26.

12, 13. Cinshi cawamine (a) ukutuma Yuda na Sila? (b) ibumba litungulula ukutuma kalata ku filonganino?

¹² Apo Yuda na Sila e bali “intungulushi pa ba bwananyina,” kanshi balifikilepo ukwimininako ibumba litungulula. Ishi nkombe shine shali no kulondolola bwino ukuti ubukombe baletele tabwaleasuka fye icipusho baipwishe pa kusembululwa, lelo e fyo ibumba litungulula lyalandile ukuti e fyo balingile ukulakonka. Ukutumwa kwa aba “abaume” kwali no kulenga ukuti abaYuda abasangwike Abena Kristu abaleikala mu Yerusalemu baleumfwana sana na Bena fyalo abasangwike Abena Kristu abali mu filonganino. Ala balicitile bwino ukutuma aba baume kabili ifi bacitile fyalangile fye ukuti balitemenwe aba bwananyina! Icafuminemo ca kuti abantu ba kwa Lesa bali no mutende kabili balikatene.

“Balisekelele Pantu Balibakoseleshe” (Imil. 15:30-35)

15, 16. Bushe aba bwananyina bacitile shani ilyo ibumba litungulula lyapingwile umulandu wa kusembululwa, kabili cinshi calengele ukuti cibe fyo?

¹⁵ Ilyashi lya mwi buuku lya Imilimo litwalilila ukusosa ukuti ilyo abaume abafumine ku Yerusalemu bafikile ku Antioke, “balonganike aba bwananyina no kubapeela kalata.” Bushe aba bwananyina ba ku Antioke bacitilepo shani pa fyo ibumba litungulula lyalandile? “Ilyo babelengele [kalata], balisekelele pantu balibakoseleshe.” (Imil. 15:30, 31) Na kabili, Yuda na Sila “balandile amashiwi ayengi aya kukoselesha aba bwananyina no kubakosha.” Kanshi Yuda na Sila bali ni “bakasesema,” nga filya fine baleita Barnaba, Paulo, na bambi ukuti ni bakasesema. Ili shiwi lyalelosha ku bantu abalebila nelyo abale-eba abantu ifyo Lesa afwaya.—Imil. 13:1; 15:32; Ukufu. 7:1, 2.

19, 20. (a) Finshi fyalangile ukuti mu cilonganino ca mu Antioke mwali umutende kabili baleumfwana? (b) Finshi nomba Paulo na Barnaba baali no kulacita?

¹⁹ Calimoneke fye apabuuta ukuti nomba mu cilonganino ca mu Antioke mwali umutende kabili baleumfwana. Mu nshita ya kukansana na ba bwananyina abafumine ku Yerusalemu, aba bwananyina mu Antioke balitemenwe ukuti Yuda na Sila balibatandalile, pantu ilyo “baikeleko inshita iilingile, aba bwananyina babalekele baye mu mutende ku babatumine,” e kutila, ukubwelela ku Yerusalemu.d (Imil. 15:33) Te kuti tutwishike ukuti aba bwananyina mu Yerusalemu na bo bene balisekelele ilyo baumfwile ifyo Yuda na Sila bashimike ifyo baendele. Pa mulandu wa cikuuku ca kwa Yehova, fyonse fyalyendele fye bwino bwino!
