Imfumu Balaki iya bena Moabu yaebele kasesema wa bufi Balaamu ukulapisha abena Israele. Lelo, Yehova tasuminishe Balaamu ukubalapisha, amulengele ukupaala abena Israele. (Impendwa 22:1-7; 24:10) Nangu cali ifi, Balaamu tabwelele inuma nakalya, akwete amapange na yambi ayabipa ayali no kulesha abantu ba kwa Lesa ukwingila mu Calo ca Bulayo. Mapange nshi ayo yene? Mapange ya kubatunka ukucita ubulalelale no kulapepa Baali. Nangu cingati aya mapange tayaleseshe abena Israele bonse ukwingila mu Calo ca Bulayo, yalengele abena Israele 24,000 ukubembuka. Bacitile ubulalelale na banakashi abena Moabu kabili batampile ukupepa Baali wa ku Peore.—Impendwa 25:1-9.

Na kabili tontonkanyeni pali ifi abena Israele bacitile! Abengi baliimwenene na menso uko Yehova alebacingilila no kubatungulula ilyo balepita “mu matololo yonse yalya yakalamba kabili aya kutiinya.” (Amalango 1:19) Na lyo line, ilyo bali fye mupepi no kwingila mu Calo ca Bulayo, abantu ba kwa Lesa 24,000 balicitile ubulalelale kabili Yehova alibonawile. Ala ili lyashi lilasoka abantu ba kwa Lesa muno nshiku pantu nabo bali mupepi no kwingila mu calo cipya!

E lyo umucenjelo na umbi uo Satana abomfya sana wa kulenga abantu ukucita ubulalelale. Limo limo abantu bamo abesa mu cilonganino ca Bena Kristu balafwaya ukulufya abanaka kabili abapungaila ilyo baleenda mu lubuuto lufuma kuli Lesa.—Yuda 8, 12-16.

Abena Kristu abakosoka kabili abalola balishiba ukuti ico imibele ya bantu ilebipila sana mu calo ni co Satana alebombesha pa kuti alufye abengi.
