Ici e co Yehova aloshako mu mashiwi yakonkapo aya kuti: “Nkabika muli bene iciishibilo. Nkatuma na bapusuka ba muli bene baye ku nko, ku Tarshishi, na Puti, na ku Ludi, abakana mu buta, ku Tubali, na ku Yabani [Greece], ku namba ne fishi ifya kutali, abashaumfwo lukumo lwandi, nangu kumono bukata bwandi. Na bo bakalongolo bukata bwandi mu nko.”—Esaya 66:19.

Pali lelo Abena Kristu basubwa, abalelunduluka mu calo cabo icabweshiwa baba ciishibilo ca kusungusha mu calo. (Esaya 66:8) Muli bene e mumonekela ubushininkisho bwa maka ya mupashi wa kwa Yehova, uukula abafuuka abo imitima yabo ibalenga ukufwaya ukubombela Yehova.

11. (a) Pa numa ya kubweshiwa, cikaba shani ukuti aba mu nko bakasambilila pa lwa kwa Yehova? (b) Bushe Sekaria 8:23 afishiwepo shani intanshi?

¹¹ Lelo, pa numa ya kubweshiwa mu 537 B.C.E., ni shani abaume ba mu nko abashaumfwo lukumo lwa kwa Yehova bamwishiba? Kwena, te baYuda bonse aba busumino bakabwelela ku Yerusalemu ilyo bunkole bwa ku Babele bukapwa. Bamo, pamo nga Daniele, bakashala mu Babele. Bambi bakasalanganina ku fifutu fine ifya pe sonde. Ilyo calefika mu mwanda wa myaka uwalenga 5 B.C.E., kwali abaYuda abaleikala mu calo conse ica Buteko bwa Persia. (Estere 1:1; 3:8) Ukwabulo kutwishika bamo pali abo balyebele abena mupalamano babo abasenshi pa lwa kwa Yehova, pantu abengi aba muli isho nko basangwike abaYuda. Cilemoneka kwati ica musango yo e cacitikile no mwina Etiopia mutungwi, uo umusambi wa Bwina Kristu Filipi ashimikile mu mwanda wa myaka uwa kubalilapo. (Imilimo 8:26-40) Ifi fyonse fyali kufishiwapo kwa ntanshi ukwa mashiwi ya kwa kasesema Sekaria aya kuti: “Mu nshiku isho e mo abantu ikumi [10] aba mu nko sha ndimi shonse bakekata ku cisempe ca muYuda umo, no kutila, Tuleya na imwe, pantu natuumfwo kuti muli na Lesa.” (Sekaria 8:23) Cine cine, Yehova alitumine ulubuuto ku nko!—Amalumbo 43:3.

Ukulete “Ca Bupe Kuli Yehova”

12, 13. Ni mu nshila nshi ‘bamunyina’ bakaletelwa ku Yerusalemu ukutendeka mu 537 B.C.E.?

¹² Pa numa Yerusalemu abe nakuulwa cipya cipya, abaYuda abasalanganishiwa ukutali nga nshi ukufuma ku calo cabo bakamono musumba na bushimapepo bwabweshiwa nge cifulo cacindamisha ica kupepa kwasanguluka. Abengi muli bene bakendo lwendo ulutali ukuyasangwa ku mutebeto wa pa mwaka uucitwa kulya. Esaya pa kupuutwamo, alemba ati: “[Bakaleta] bamunyinenwe bonse abali mu nko shonse ku kube ca bupe cabo kuli Yehova, pali bakafwalo, na mu maceleta na mu macila, na pa mfalashi, na pa ngamali, ku lupili lwandi lwa mushilo ku Yerusalemu, e fyo Yehova asosa, ifyo abana ba kwa Israele balete ca bupe cabo mu cipe icasanguluka ku ng’anda ya kwa Yehova. Nkabuulapo bamo ba muli bene pamo ku kuba bashimapepo, ku kuba abena Lebi.”—Esaya 66:20, 21.

¹³ Bamo pali abo ‘bamunyina abali mu nko shonse’ e po bali pa bushiku bwa pa Pentekoste ilyo umupashi wa mushilo wapongolwelelwe pa basambi ba kwa Yesu. Ili lyashi litila: “Mu Yerusalemu mwaikele abaYuda, abantu abatiina Lesa, abafumine mu nko shonse isha mwi samba lya muulu.” (Imilimo 2:5) Baishile ku Yerusalemu ku kupepa umwabelo mwata wa baYuda, lelo ilyo baumfwile imbila nsuma pa lwa kwa Yesu Kristu, abengi balimutetekele kabili balibatishiwe.

14, 15. (a) Bushe Abena Kristu basubwa balongenye shani ‘bamunyinabo’ ba ku mupashi na bambi pa numa ya Nkondo ya Calo iya 1, kabili aba baletelwe shani nge “ca bupe . . . mu cipe casanguluka”? (b) Ni mu nshila nshi Yehova ‘abuulilepo bamo ku kuba bashimapepo’? (c) Bena Kristu nshi bamo abasubwa ababombeleko mu kulonganika bamunyinabo ba ku mupashi? (Moneni umukululo uli pe bula likonkelepo.)

¹⁴ Bushe uku kusesema kwalifishiwapo muno nshiku? Cine cine kwalifishiwapo. Pa numa ya Nkondo ya Calo iya 1, ababomfi basubwa aba kwa Yehova bailwike ukufuma mu Malembo ukuti Ubufumu bwa kwa Lesa bwalimikwe mu muulu mu 1914. Ukupitila mu kusambilila Baibolo bwino bwino, basambilile ukuti impyani sha Bufumu na shimbi, nelyo ‘bamunyina,’ shali no kulonganikwa. Abatumikishi bashipa baendele ukufika ku “mpela ya pano nse,” ukubomfya imyendele yalekanalekana, ilyo balesapika abali no kwisaba mwi bumba lya bashalapo basubwa, abengi abafumine mu macalici ya Kristendomu. Ilyo aba basangilwe, baliletelwe ku kube ca bupe kuli Yehova.—Imilimo 1:8.

¹⁵ Abasubwa abalonganikwe mu myaka yabalileko tabaenekele Yehova ukubapokelela filya fine bali ilyo bashilaishiba icine ca mu Baibolo. Batendeke ukuisangulula ku kukowela kwa ku mupashi na mu mibele pa kuti bengapeelwa nge “ca bupe . . . mu cipe casanguluka,” nelyo nga mulya umutumwa Paulo asosela, ati, nga “nacisungu kuli Kristu.” (2 Abena Korinti 11:2, NW) Ukulunda pa kukaana ifisambilisho fya bufi, abasubwa basambilile ifya kukanaitumpa nangu panono mu mapolitiki ya muli cino calo. Mu 1931, ilyo ababomfi bakwe baisangulwile ukufika apalekabilwa, Yehova mu cikuuku abapeele ishuko lya kulaitilwa pe shina lyakwe ukuti Inte sha kwa Yehova. (Esaya 43:10-12) Lelo, ni mu nshila nshi, kanshi, Yehova ‘abuulilepo bamo aba muli bene ku kuba bashimapepo’? Aba abasubwa, bonse pamo, bailundile kuli “bushimapepo bwa bufumu, uluko lwa mushilo,” ukulapeela amalambo ya malumbo kuli Lesa.—1 Petro 2:9; Esaya 54:1; AbaHebere 13:15.

Ukulonganika Kwatwalilila

16, 17. Ni bani bali “ubufyashi bwenu” pa numa ya Nkondo ya Calo iya 1?

¹⁶ Impendwa yonse iya ba muli bulya “bushimapepo bwa bufumu” ni 144,000, kabili mu kuya kwa nshita, bonse aba balilonganikwe. (Ukusokolola 7:1-8; 14:1)

¹⁷ “Ubufyashi” ubufyalwa mu luko lwa bamunyina ba ku mupashi bwaba ‘libumba likalamba,’ ababa ne subilo lya mweo wa muyayaya pe sonde. Bafuma “ku luko lonse ne mikowa ne misango ya bantu na bantu na ba ndimi,” kabili beminina “ku menso ya cipuna ca bufumu, na ku menso ya Mwana wa mpaanga.” Aba “basambile amalaya yabo, no kuyabuutusha mu mulopa wa Mwana wa mpaanga.” (Ukusokolola 7:9-14; 22:17) Pali lelo aba mwi “bumba likalamba” balefuma ku mfifi ya ku mupashi no kwisa ku lubuuto ulufuma kuli Yehova. Batetekela Yesu Kristu, kabili nga filya bamunyinabo ne nkashi shabo bacita, e fyo na bo babombesha ukutwalilila abasanguluka lwa ku mupashi na mu mibele. Bonse pamo batwalilila ukutungululwa na Kristu ilyo balebomba kabili ‘bakekalilila’ umuyayaya!—Amalumbo 37:11, 29.

18. (a) Bushe imicitile ya ba mwi bumba likalamba yapalana shani ne ya bamunyinabo basubwa? (b) Ni shani abasubwa capamo na banabo bapepa Yehova “umweshi wamoneka no mweshi wamoneka, na pa kube sabata ne sabata”?

¹⁸ Aba baume na banakashi ababombesha ababa ne subilo lya kwikala pe sonde balishiba ukuti nangu ca kuti calicindama ukutwalilila ukuba abasanguluka mu mibele na lwa ku mupashi, kwaliba na fimbi ifikabilwa ku kutemuna Yehova. Umulimo wa kulonganika e lyo nomba ufukiile, kabili balafwaya ukubombako uyu mulimo. Ibuuku lya Ukusokolola lyabasesemena ukuti: “Bali ku cinso ca cipuna ca bufumu ca kwa Lesa, balemubombela na mwi tempele lyakwe akasuba no bushiku.” (Ukusokolola 7:15) Ayo mashiwi yatwibukishako ulwa cikomo 23 ica mu kusesema kwa kwa Esaya icisoso kuti: “Pa kubo mweshi wamoneka no mweshi wamoneka, na pa kube sabata ne sabata, abantunse bonse bakesa ku kushinshimuna ku cinso candi, e fyo Yehova asosa.” (Esaya 66:23) Ici cilecitika pali lelo. “Umweshi wamoneka no mweshi wamoneka, na pa kube sabata ne sabata”—e kuti, lyonse fye, cila mulungu uwaba muli cila mweshi—Abena Kristu basubwa na banabo, e kuti ibumba likalamba, balakumana ku kupepa Yehova. Bacite ci ukupitila mu kusangwa ku kulongana kwa Bwina Kristu na mu kubombako ubutumikishi bwa ku cintubwingi, pa mbali ya fintu fimbi ifyo bacita. Bushe muli pali abo ‘abesa ku kushinshimuna ku cinso ca kwa Yehova’ lyonse? Abantu ba kwa Yehova basange nsansa ishingi mu kucite ci, na ba mwi bumba likalamba bafuluke nshita lintu “abantunse bonse”—e kuti abakaba no mweo—bakabombela Yehova “umweshi wamoneka no mweshi wamoneka, na pa kube sabata ne sabata” umuyayaya.
