FWANYIKIZHAI muji mu bwato bubena kuloba. Pa kimye kyo mubena kulanguluka’mba pano bintu byonse byapwila pa mpuki, muntu wa kwimupulusha wafika wimufumya ne kwimufumyamo mu bwato. Byo mwakonsha kwikizhapo muchima kimye kyo abena kwimufumya mu bobo bwato kabiji ne kwimwambila’mba: “Pano mwapuluka”! Nanchi kechi mwakonsha kumusanchila uno muntu nenyi? Kwambatu kine mwakonsha kumusanchila bingi na mambo a kwimupulusha.

² Mu jishinda jimotu, kino kimwesha kintu Yehoba kyo etubila. Ee kine twafwainwa kumusanchilanga, mambo wapana bukuzhi bwa kwitukuula ku bulume bwa bundengamambo ne lufu. Twikala bakasuluka pa kuyuka kuba’mba umvwe twaikala na lwitabilo mu kino kitapisho kyanema, mambo etu alekelwa, kabiji ne bwikalo bwetu bwa myaka ne myaka mu kimye kya kulutwe ko buji. (1 Yoano 1:7; 4:9) Byonka byo twafunjile mu Kitango 14, bukuzhi ke kimwesho kikatampe kya butemwe ne bololoke bwa Yehoba. Twafwainwa kubapo byepi?

³ Kyawama kuyuka kintu kyo abena kukeba’mba tube uno Mupokolweshi wetu wa butemwe. Yehoba kupichila mwi ngauzhi Mika waamba’mba: “Obewa muntu, Yehoba wakubula byo wafwainwa kuba. Nanchi bika byo akusakila’mba ube? Kana kuba byaoloka, ne kutemwa kuba lusa, ne kwenda na Lesa wobe na kwipelula.” (Mika 6:8) Monai kuba’mba kintu kimo Yehoba kyo akeba’mba tube ke “kuba byaoloka.” Twakonsha kuba byepi bino?

Kulondalonda “Bololoke” bwa Kine

4. Twayuka byepi kuba’mba Yehoba ukeba’mba twikelenga mwayila mizhilo yanji yaoloka?

Isaya 1:17 waamba’mba: “Fundai kuba byawama; chibai mambo mo aolokela.” Mambo a Lesa etukambizha ‘kukeba bololoke.’ (Zefwaniya 2:3) Etukambizha ne ‘kuvwala bumuntu bupya bwalengwa mu bololoke monka mwaikajila Lesa.’ (Efisesa 4:24) Bololoke bwa kine ne buchibamambo bwaoloka bukanya bukapondo, bubipisho ne byubilo bya bunya, mambo bino byonse bizhilulula kyazhila.—Masalamo 11:5; Efisesa 5:3-5.

5, 6. (a) Mambo ka o kyabujila kwikala kisendwa kwi atweba kulondela mizhilo ya Yehoba? (b) Nga Baibolo umwesha byepi kuba’mba kulondalonda bololoke ke kintu kya kuba kimye kyonse?

⁵ Nanchi kulondela mizhilo ya Yehoba yaoloka kisendwa kwi atweba nyi? Ine. Muchima wafwenya kwipi ne Yehoba kechi umona mizhilo yanji nobe kisendwa ne. Na mambo a kuba twamutemwa Lesa kabiji ne byo aji, tukeba kwikela mu jishinda jimutokesha ku muchima. (1 Yoano 5:3) Vulukai kuba’mba Yehoba “watemwa bololoke.” (Masalamo 11:7) Umvwe kine tukeba kulonda buchibamambo bwaoloka nangwa’mba bololoke bwa Lesa, twafwainwa kutemwa bintu Yehoba byo atemwa kabiji ne kushinkwa byo ashikwa.—Masalamo 97:10.

⁶ Bantu bambulwakoloka kechi kibapelela kulondalonda bololoke ne. Twafwainwa kuvūla bumuntu bwa kala ne byubilo byabo bya bundengamambo ne kuvwala bumuntu bupya. Baibolo waamba’mba bumuntu bupya “bubenakusangulwa ke bupya” monka mu maana alumbuluka. (Kolose 3:9, 10) Byambo bya kuba’mba “bubenakusangulwa ke bupya” bibena kumwesha’mba kuvwala bumuntu bupya ke kintu kya kuba kimye kyonse, kikebewa kwibikako. Nangwatu twibikisheko byepi kuba byaoloka, kuji bimye bimo bumuntu bwetu bwa bundengamambo po bwitulengela kulanguluka byatama, kulubankanya mu byambo nangwa mu byubilo.—Loma 7:14-20; Yakoba 3:2.

7. Mu ñanyi jishinda mo twafwainwa kumwenanga bintu bitubwezha panyuma mu mukwekele wetu wa kulondalonda bololoke?

⁷ Twafwainwa kumonanga byepi bintu bitubwezha panyuma mu mukwekele wetu wa kulondalonda bololoke? Ee bino, kechi twafwainwa kukepeshanga kubaya kwa bundengamambo ne. Pano bino kechi twafwainwa kwikileka, ketulanguluke’mba bilubo byetu bitulengela kwikala babula kufwainwa kwingijila Yehoba ne. Lesa wetu wa bupe wanengezha lunengezho lwa kutajilamo bulongo bonse balapila kya kine. Akimonai bino byambo bya lutekenesho bya mutumwa Yoano: “Nemunembela bino, namba kechi mulenge mambo ne.” Bino wabwelele wanungapo’mba: ‘Umvwe muntu walenga mambo, [na mambo a bundengamambo bo twaswana] tuji na Nkwasho uji kwi Tata, ye Yesu Kilishitu.’ (1 Yoano 2:1) Ee, Yehoba wapana kitapisho kya bukuzhi bwa Yesu kuba’mba tumwingijilenga mu jishinda jo akeba nangwa kya kuba twibandengamambo. Nanchi kino kechi kitulengela kukeba kwingila papelela bulume bwetu kutokesha Yehoba pa muchima nenyi?

⁸ Twakonsha kumwesha bololoke—kikatakata bololoke bwa Lesa kupichila mu kwingilako pakatampe mu busapwishi bwa kusapwila mambo awama a Bufumu bwa Lesa ku bantu. Lukwatankano ka lujipo pakachi ka bololoke bwa Yehoba ne mambo awama?

⁹ Yehoba kechi ukonauna buno bwikalo bubi bujipo lujimuno saka lukyangye kupanwa ne. Mu bungauzhi bwanji pa mambo a bintu bikamwekana mu moba a kupelako, Yesu waambile’mba: “Kyafwainwa ne mambo awama akasapwilwe patanshi ku mikoka yonse ya bantu.” (Mako 13:10; Mateo 24:3) Kwingijisha kyambo kya kuba’mba “patanshi” kumwesha kuba’mba pa mwingilo wa kusapwila ntanda yonse pakalondela ne bintu bikwabo. Abino bintu byavwangamo ne malwa akatampe aambijilwe jimo mukonaunwa babi ne kulengela ntanda ipya ya bololoke kwikajikwa. (Mateo 24:14, 21, 22) Ee, kafwako nangwatu umo wakonsha kupamo Yehoba mambo na mambo a konauna bangubabibi ne. Kupichila mu kupana lujimuno, ubena kupana jishuko ku bantu ba uno mutundu ja kupimpula mashinda abo kuba’mba bakapuluke.—Yona 3:1-10.

10, 11. Nga kwingila kwetu mwingilo wa kusapwila mambo awama kumwesha byepi bololoke bwa Lesa?

¹⁰ Nga mwingilo wetu wa kusapwila mambo awama umwesha byepi bololoke bwa Lesa? Patanshitu, kyailamo bingi kuba’mba tukwashe bantu kumona lupulukilo. Akilangulukaipo jikwabo pa kya kumwenako kya kwimupulusha mu bwato bubena kuloba. Byo muji mu bwato bukwabo, mwakonsha kukebesha kukwasha bakwenu bakiji mu mema. Byonkabyo, tuji na mwingilo wa kukwasha boba bakilukuta mu “mema” a ino ntanda ibi. Ee ibyo kuba’mba bavula kechi baswa byambo byetu ne. Pano bino Yehoba byo atwajijila kwikala watekanya, tuji na mutembo wa kwibapa jishuko ja ‘kulapila’ kuba’mba bakamone lupulukilo.—2 Petelo 3:9.

¹¹ Kupichila mu kusapwila mambo awama ku bantu bonse bo tutana, tumwesha bololoke mu jishinda jikwabo janema: Tumwesha kubula misalululo. Vulukai kuba’mba “Lesa kechi utala ku bilungi bya bantu ne: pakuba ne mu mikoka yonse ya bantu, aye wamwakamwa, ne kuba byaoloka, ye waitabilwa kwi aye.” (Byubilo 10:34, 35) Umvwe tukeba kulonda bololoke bwanji, kechi twafwainwa kutalanga ku bilungi bya bantu ne. Twafwainwa kubula bantu bonse mambo awama kechi na mambo a mushobo, bwikalo, nangwa bunonshi bwabo ne. Umvwe ke tube bino, tupa bantu bonse jishuko ja kumvwa kabiji ne kubapo kimo pa mambo awama.—Loma 10:11-13.

Byo Tuba na Bakwetu

12, 13. (a) Mambo ka o twafwainwa kubula kufikatu ponkapo kuzhachisha bakwetu? (b) Nga lujimuno lwa kwa Yesu pa mambo a kuleka ‘kuzhachishanga ne ‘kuleka kuchibilanga mambo’ lwatala mwepi? (Monai ne tubyambo twa munshi.)

¹² Kabiji twakonsha kumwesha bololoke kupichila mu kubila bakwetu bintu monka Yehoba mo etubila. Kyapela bingi kuzhachisha bakwetu, kwamba pa bilubo byabo kabiji ne kuzhinauka milanguluko yabo. Pano bino ñanyi mwi atweba wakonsha kutemwa Yehoba kumusalaula mu milanguluko, ne kumuzhachisha pa bilubo byanji mu jishinda jakanama? Yehoba kechi byo byo etuba ne. Nyimbi wa masalamo waambile’mba: “Anweba Yehoba, inge mwaji mulondalonda kulenga-mambo kwetu, anweba Nkambo, inge ñanyi ukakonsha kupuluka?” (Masalamo 130:3) Nanchi kechi tusanta kuba’mba Lesa wetu wa bololoke kabiji wa lusa kechi ukeba kutesha muchima pa bilubo byetu nenyi? (Masalamo 103:8-10) Pano twafwainwa kubanga byepi na bakwetu?

¹³ Umvwe twayukisha lusa lwa bololoke bwa Lesa byo buji, kechi tukafikenangatu ponkapo kuzhachisha bakwetu mu bintu byabula kwitutala nangwa bya kukaisha kaishatu ne. Mu Jashi janji ja pa Mutumba, Yesu wajimwineko’mba: ‘Kange muzhachishenga bakwenu ne, kuchina’mba, nenuwa mwakazhatwa.’ (Mateo 7:1) Kwesakana na jishimikila ja kwa Luka, Yesu wanungilepo amba: ‘Kechi muchibenga mambo ne, ne anweba kechi mukachibilwao ne.’a (Luka 6:37) Yesu wayukile kuba’mba bantu bambulwakoloka baji na kisela kya kukebatu kuzhachisha bakwabo. Uji yense mu boba bamutelekelenga wajinga na kisela kya kuzhachisha bakwabo wafwainwe kwikileka.

14. Mambo ka o twafwainwa ‘kuleka kuzhachishanga’ bakwetu?

¹⁴ Mambo ka o twafwainwa ‘kuleka kuzhachishanga’ bakwetu? Kintu kimo ke na mambo a kuba’mba bulume bwetu bwapelelela. Mutumwa Yakoba wituvululako amba: “Umo yenka upana Mizhilo, ye uchiba ne mambo”—Yehoba. Onkao mambo Yakoba washikishe amba: “Pakuba obewa wi ñanyi byo uzhachisha mukwenu?” (Yakoba 4:12; Loma 14:1-4) Kabiji kunungapo, bumuntu bwetu bwa bundengamambo bwakonsha kwitulengela kuzhachisha bakwetu mu jishinda jatama. Ndangulukilo yavula kubikapotu ne misalululo, bukaji, kichima, ne kwilundumika, byakonsha kulengela kumwena bakwetu mu jishinda jabula kufwainwa. Kabiji twapelelela bingi mu bintu bikwabo, onkao mambo kulanguluka pa bino bintu byo twapelelela kwafwainwa kwitulengelanga kubula kufikenatu ponkapo kutana bilubo mu bakwetu. Kechi twakonsha kuyuka biji mu muchima wa muntu ne; kabiji kuba twayuka bintu byonse bibena kupitamo bakwetu ne. Onkao mambo, yetu bañanyi ba kupamo mambo bakwetu ba mu lwitabilo nangwa kulengulula mingilo yabo mu mwingilo wa Lesa? Byo kyawamapo kulonda Yehoba kupichila mu kumona byawama mu balongo ne banyenga yetu kukila kutesha muchima pa bilubo byabo!

15. Byambo bya mutundu ka byabula kuswishiwa mukachi ka bapopweshi ba Lesa, kabiji mambo ka?

¹⁵ Ibyepi na ba mu kisemi kyetu? Kya bulandatu ke kya kuba’mba, lelo jino mu mazubo mwafwainwa kwikala mutende, pano mubaaluketu ke mwakwitajila bibi. Javula tumvwa banabalume ne ba muka kusongolwa baji na mwenga, nangwa bansemi “bamanyika” ba mu kisemi kyabo na byambo bya mwenga nangwa kwibapuma. Pano bino byambo bya bukaji, kubwazanga, ne mwenga kechi byaswishiwa mu bapopweshi ba Lesa ne. (Efisesa 4:29, 31; 5:33; 6:4) Lujimuno lwa kwa Yesu lwa ‘kuleka kuzhachisha’ ne ‘kuleka kuchibila mambo’ lwingila ne kimye kyo tuji pa nzubo. Vulukai kuba’mba kumwesha bololoke kwavwangamo ne kuba na bakwetu byonka Yehoba byo oba ne atweba. Lesa wetu kechi uba ne atweba mu jishinda jakanama nangwa pachechetu ne. Aye ‘ubila lusa’ aba bamutemwa. (Yakoba 5:11) Byo aikalapo wa kumwenako wawama ye twafwainwa kulonda!

Bakulumpe Boba “Buchibamambo Bwaoloka”

16, 17. (a) Yehoba ukeba bakulumpe kuba ka? (b) Ki ka kyafwainwa kubiwa umvwe ndengamambo wabula kumwesha lulapilo lwa kine, kabiji mambo ka?

¹⁶ Atweba bonse tuji na mutembo wa kumwesha bololoke, bino bakulumpe mu kipwilo kya bwina Kilishitu kikatakata bo baji na mutembo mu luno lubaji. Akimonai ndumbulwilo ya bungauzhi ya kuba’mba “babinemanga” nangwa’mba bakulumpe yanembele Isaya: “Umvwai, kukekala mfumu umo ukalama ntanda mu bololoke ne babinemanga bakalama bantu na buchibamambo bwaoloka.” (Isaya 32:1) Ee Yehoba ukeba bakulumpe kwingijila mwayila bololoke. Bakonsha kuba byepi kino?

¹⁷ Bano banabalume bafikapo ku mupashi bayukishatu bulongo amba buchibamambo bwaoloka, nangwa’mba bololoke bukeba’mba kipwilo kikale kya butooto ku mupashi ne mu byubilo. Bimye bimo bakulumpe bamba mambo akatampe. Umvwe ke bobe bino bavuluka kuba’mba bololoke bwa Lesa bukeba kumwesha lusa umvwe kyakonsheka. Bakwasha muntu walenga mambo kulapila. Pano ibyepi nangwa kya kuba baesekesha na ngovu yabo yonse pano bino awo ndengamambo ne kumwesha lulapilo lwa kine ne? Mwayila bololoke, Mambo a Yehoba akambizha’mba: “Fumyai awa mubi mukachi kenu.” Akino kibena kulumbulula kumupanga mu kipwilo. (1 Kolinda 5:11-13; 2 Yoano 9-11) Kiletela bingi bulanda bakulumpe kuba kino, pano bino bavuluka kuba’mba kyo kikebewa kubiwa pa kuba’mba balamawizhe butooto bwa byubilo ne bumupashi bwa kipwilo. Nangwa byonkabyo, baketekela’mba juba jimo uno ndengamambo ukalubuluka muchima kabiji ne kubwela mu kipwilo.—Luka 15:17, 18.

18. Bakulumpe balabijila ka umvwe babena kufundako bakwabo mafunde a mu Baibolo?

¹⁸ Kwingijila mwayila bololoke kwavwangamo ne kupana mafunde a mu Baibolo umvwe kibena kukebewa. Ee ibyo kuba’mba bakulumpe kechi bakebakebatu bilubo mu bakwabo ne. Kabiji kechi bololaololatu bakwabo pa kimye kijitu kyonse ne. Pano bino wa mu lwitabilo umo wakonsha ‘kutanwa na mambo.’ Kuvuluka kuba’mba bololoke bwa Lesa kechi bwakanama ne, kulengela bakulumpe ‘kubwezha wa byonkabyo na muchima wa bukimote.’ (Ngalatiya 6:1) Onkao mambo, bakulumpe kechi bakamushintaukila uno ndengamambo nangwa kumwambila byambo bya bukaji ne. Lujimuno lwapanwa mu butemwe lutundaika ubena kujimunwako. Nangwatu kimye kyo babena kukajipila muntu pa kilubo kyo auba kabiji ne kutongola bintu bifumamo mu kyokyo kyo auba, bakulumpe bavuluka kuba’mba mukwabo wa mu lwitabilo walenga mambo ke mukooko wa mu jitanga ja Yehoba.b (Luka 15:7) Umvwe lujimuno nangwa kukajipila kwatangijilwa ne kupanwa mu butemwe, kwakonsha kolola yewo walenga mambo.

19. Bintu ka bakulumpe byo bafuukula kuba, kabiji bino byo bafuukulapo byafwainwa kwimena pa ka?

Baleka mikambizho ya Lesa kwibatangijila pa kutongola bakwabo kwikala bakulumpe nangwa bankwasho, kechi kwimena pa ndangulukilo yabo bene ne. Mu jino jishinda kechi ‘bachibila jimo mambo mu muchima, ne kuba kintu nangwa kimo kya kutala ku kilungi kya muntu ne.’—1 Timoti 5:21.

20, 21. (a) Bakulumpe besekesha kwikala ka, kabiji mambo ka? (b) Ki ka bakulumpe kyo bafwainwa kuba kukwasha “ba michima yapungila”?

²⁰ Kabiji bakulumpe bamwesha ne bololoke bwa Lesa mu mashinda akwabo. Panyuma ya kwamba’mba bakulumpe bakoba “buchibamambo bwaoloka,” Isaya watwajijile kwamba’mba: “Bonse bakekala nobe kya kuleyelamo mwela, kabiji nobe kya kufyamamo pa kwiya kinkunkwila, kabiji nobe tukola tuji na mema mu ntanda yauma, kabiji nobe kimfute kya jibwe jikatampe, jiji mu kiselebwa.” (Isaya 32:2) Onkao mambo, bakulumpe bebikishako kwikala nsulo ya lutekenesho kabiji ne kukosesha bapopweshi bakwabo.

²¹ Lelo jino, na mambo a makatazho alengela kulefulwa, bavula bakebewa lutundaiko. Anweba bakulumpe, ki ka kyo mwafwainwa kuba kya kukwasha “ba michima yapungila”? (1 Tesalonika 5:14) Batelekeshai bulongo na lusa. (Yakoba 1:19) Bakonsha kutemwa kwisamba “kijikila” kiji mu muchima wabo na muntu ye baketekela. (Byambo bya Mana 12:25) Babulai mu bukishinka kuba’mba bakebewa, banemekwa, kabiji bebatemwa bingi kwi Yehoba ne ku balongo ne banyenga yabo. (1 Petelo 1:22; 5:6, 7) Kabiji kunungapo mwakonsha kwibalombelako ne kulombela pamo nabo. Umvwe ke bomvwe mukulumpe na kwibalombelako milombelo ya panshi ya muchima, kyakonsha kwibatekenesha bingi. (Yakoba 5:14, 15) Bukwasho bwenu bwa butemwe bwa kukwasha ba michima yapungila kechi bakebuvulama kwi Lesa wa bololoke ne.

22. Mu ñanyi mashinda mo twakonshesha kulonda bololoke bwa Yehoba, kabiji ki ka kifumamo?

²² Ee kine, tufwenya kwipi ne Yehoba kupichila mu kulonda bololoke bwanji!
