‘Kwilhaba Emyatsi Yosi, Mwanzane Kutsibu’

‘Enduli y’emyatsi yosi yiri hakuhi. Kwilhaba emyatsi yosi, mwanzane kutsibu.’​—1 PETERO 4:7, 8.

YESU mwaminya athi esyondambi siwe nge esy’erighunzerera n’abakwenda biwe syabya sy’omubongo. Abya inyanasi ekikayahika okw’abakwenda. Babya bawithe mubiiri munene ow’erighunza, aliriryo bangaponirwe n’eriendereribwa, ngoku bamukolha. (Yoane 15:18-20) Mirundi mingi omw’ithumbi eryo ery’erighunzerera ibane haghuma, Yesu mwa bibukya okwa kiyithawa “eky’erianzana.”​—Yoane 13:34, 35; 15:12, 13, 17.

² Omukwenda Petero, oyuwabyaho omw’ithumbi eryo, mwayitheghererya omubongo w’erianzana. Ebirimo byalhabire, erithoghothibwa lye Yerusalemu irikisiya iryabya, Petero akasakanga mwahira omuwatho w’okwa mubongo w’olhwanzo. Mwahana Abakristayo athi: ‘Enduli y’emyatsi yosi yiri hakuhi. Kwilhaba emyatsi yosi, mwanzane kutsibu.’ (1 Petero 4:7, 8) Ebinywe bya Petero biwithe omubongo munene okw’abo abikere omwa “biro by’enyuma-nyuma” eby’emighulhu eya munabwire eno. (2 Timoteo 3:1) “Erianzana kutsibu” niki? Busana naki ni ky’omubongo eribya n’olhwanzo olhu busana n’abandi? Thwanga kangania thuthi ngokwa thuwithe olhwanzo olhu?

“Erianzana kutsibu”—Niki?

³ Abangi bakalengekanaya olhwanzo eribya mubere ow’akakwama kyasa buhangiranwa. Aliriryo Petero mwatha kania okwa lhwanzo ni lhwanzo; abya akakania okwa lhwanzo ngokwa lhuli. Ekinywe “lhwanzo” omu 1 Petero 4:8 kikahindulhawa omwa kinywe kye Kiyonani a·gaʹpe. Ekinywe eki kikamanyisaya olhwanzo olhw’erithendi yitsomana iwe iwuwene-wene ilhukasondolhawa n’omusingi mulebe. Ekitabu kighuma kikabugha kithi: “Olhwanzo agape silhukalire erikangania kusangwa silhulyasa kutsibu-tsibu busana n’eriyowa nga wukalhumirirawa aliriryo likabya ini thwamu ery’erianza erikolha erisonda erikakolhaya okw’ikolha ekikorwa.” Kundi thwabirisighalya emibere ey’eribya abakayitsomana, thukayithagha eribya ithuna mw’ibukibwa erikangania abandi b’olhwanzo, thukakolha thuthya omwanzira ey’emisingi ya Nyamuhanga akathusondolhamu.​—Enzuko 8:21; Abanya Roma 5:12.

⁴ Isikiri manyisaya kithi thwanganza abandi busana n’eribugha ambu ithwabanza. A·gaʹpe si lhwanzo olhuhuhirire kandi olhuthe lhumirirawa. Petero mwabugha athi thutholere “ithwanzana kutsibu” [kikamanyisaya, “erikanyirirya”] olhwanzo eyiri abandi.a (Kingdom Interlinear) Nomwakine, erikangania olhwanzo olhuli ng’olhwo likayithagha erihiraho akaghalha. Erikwamana n’ekinywe eky’Olhuyonani ekikalhua mw’ekinywe “kutsibu,” omwighi mughuma akabugha athi: “Kikakanganaya ekisasani eky’omuthibithi oyukakasa emisisa yiwe akakolesya akaghalha kiwe ak’erighunzererayo akayahika okwa mughuha.”

⁵ Neryo kwesi, olhwanzo lhwethu, silhutholere lhukasubulira okw’ikolha ekya thukalhangira nga kilhobire kutse okw’abandu abasombwerwe. Olhwanzo olhw’Ekikrisitayo lhukayithagha ilhwa lhua omwa muthima wethu, erilhukanyirirya n’omwa kyangabya indi sikyolho erikolha thuthya. (2 Abanya Korinto 6:11-13) Omwa kwenene, olhwanzo olhusosire ng’olhu lhwathukayithagha erikulha-kulhania n’erirondekania, ng’omuthibithi kw’atholere eriyibegheresya n’erikulha-kulhania eribya muthibithi mubuya. Ni kikulhu eribya n’olhwanzo olhuli ng’olhwo eyiri abandi. Busana naki? Ahabw’esyanzumwa ng’isathu.

⁷ Ekya kabiri, kwilhabirirya ni kikulhu erianzana munabwire nuku thwanga wathikya baghalha bethu abakayithagha obuwathikya kusangwa “enduli y’emyatsi yosi yiri hakuhi.” (1 Petero 4:7) Thuli omwa ‘mighulhu eyikalire.’ (2 Timoteo 3:1) Emibere ey’ekihugho, ebihunzo eby’obuhangwa ng’emisiki, n’eriendereribwa bikathulethera eriaghalhwa. Omwa buthuku bw’erilengwako, thukayithagha ithwa seghera hakuhi n’abandi. Erianzana kutsibu ilikendi thuhira haghuma n’erithuhira mw’omuhwa ‘ow’eriwathikania.’​—1 Abanya Korinto 12:25, 26.

⁸ Ekya kasathu, thukayithagha ithwanzana kusangwa si thwanzire ‘erihererya Sitani y’omwanya’ akathukolesya nabi. (Efeso 4:27) Sitani akanguha erikolesya obuthe buthunganene obwa bikirirya balikyethu—obutseke bwabu, erisobya lyabu, n’erilemererwa lyabu—ng’eby’erithwikalya. Omundu erikania kithya-kithya kutse erikolha ekindu ekithe kanganaya olhukeri, kina mwendi leka ithwa yisununulha omwa kithunga? (Emisyo 12:18) Sithwanga yisununulha thwamabya ithwanzene kutsibu! Olhwanzo olhuli ng’olhu lhuka thuwathikaya eribya n’obuholho n’erikolera Nyamuhanga “ithuna yitherene haghuma.”​—Zefania 3:9, NW.

¹³ Olhwanzo lhuka leka ithuthathungerera esya sobya esy’abandi. Wibuke wuthi Petero akahana abasomi biwe athi ‘banzane kutsibu,’ mwaha enzumwa eyikaleka eki ekyabya ky’omubongo akabugha athi: ‘Kusangwa olhwanzo lhuka kuningira bibi bingi.’ (1 Petero 4:8) ‘Erikuningira’ ebibi sikirimanyisaya ‘erikuningira’ ebibi ebikalire. Emyatsi eyiri ng’eyo yikabwirawa abawithe olhukwamirwa omwa kithunga ibabakolha kuyo. (Abalawi 5:1; Emisyo 29:24) Sikyanga kangania olhwanzo nahake—n’erighendera okwa masako—erilekerera abakolha nabi erilholya embere n’eriaghalya kutse erithwikalya abathawithe lhubanza.​—1 Abanya Korinto 5:9-13.

¹⁴ Omughulhu mungi, ebisobyo eby’ab’ikirirya balikyethu si binene-binene kutsibu. Okwa sindi ndambi, ithwe abosi thukathwikalha omwa binywe kutse ebikorwa, erithendi berererya ebya thukalhagha kutse erihithania abandi. (Yakobo 3:2) Mbwino thuna tholere ithwa nguhirira erilhalhania ebisobyo eby’abandi? Emibere eyiri ng’eyi iyikendi letha obutsumbu-tsumbu omwa kithunga. (Efeso 4:1-3) Thwamabya ithuka sondalhawa n’olhwanzo, isithwendi “tsatsanga esobya” ey’omuramya mulikyethu. (Esyonyimbo 50:20, NW) Ngoku erisiripa erangi lika liba-libanaya ebiharu ebiri okwa lhuhimbo, kuthya, olhwanzo lhuka kuningira amalholho ow’abandi.​—Emisyo 17:9.
