9. Cintu nshi icabipa icali no kuponena Yehoshafati na baYuda bonse, kabili cinshi bacitile?

⁹ Yehoshafati atekele mu Yuda mu myaka ya ba 900 B.C.E. Yehoshafati pamo na baYuda bonse balolenkene na bashilika bapuminkene aba mu bena Amone, mu bena Moabu, e lyo na bantu ba mu calo ca mpili ica Seiri abalefwaya ukubasansa. Nangu ca kuti imfumu Yehoshafati yaliketwe umwenso, cinshi yacitile? Iyi mfumu na baume ba iko, pamo na bakashi babo na bana, balongene pa ng’anda ya kwa Yehova ku kupepa. (Belengeni 2 Imilandu 20:3-6.) Yehoshafati apepele kuli Yehova ukulingana na mashiwi Solomone alandile pa bushiku bwa kupeela itempele kuli Lesa, ati: “Mwe Lesa wesu, bushe tamwabapingule? Pantu ifwe tatukwete amaka kuli ili bumba ilikalamba ilileisa mu kutulwisha; kabili ifwe tatwishibe ico twalacita, lelo twalosha amenso yesu kuli imwe.” (2 Imila. 20:12, 13)

Nga ca kuti inshita imo twaisanga mu mafya ayakalamba, ica kuti twabulwa ne ca kucita, lekeni tulecita filya fine Yehoshafati na bantu ba mu Yuda bacitile, e kutila ukupepa kuli Yehova ukwabula ukutwishika. (Amapi. 3:5, 6; Fil. 4:6, 7) Nangu ca kutila tuli fye fweka ku cifulo ca kutali sana, amapepo yesu kuli Yehova yalatwikatanya na “bamunyinefwe bonse pano calo.”—1 Pet. 5:9.
