Kubutulwa Kupya—Le Kulongekanga Namani?

YESU kālombwelepo Nikodema enka mvubu, mwanda, ne kitungo kine kya kubutwilwa kupya ino wāmusapwidile ne mulongekelanga kuno kubutulwa kupya. Yesu wānene amba: “Shi muntu kabutwilwepo ku mema ne ku Mushipiditu, nabya kakatwelapo mu bulopwe bwa Leza, ehe.” (Yoano 3:5) Nanshi muntu ubutulwanga monka ku mema ne ku mushipiditu. Ino le bino bishima “ku mema ne ku Mushipiditu” bifunkila pa bika?

‘Mema ne Mushipiditu’—Lelo I Bika?

Nikodema, byaādi mufundi wa mutōtelo wa Bayuda, kādipo widilwe muswelo wingidija Bisonekwa bya Kihebelu kishima “mushipiditu wa Leza”—bukomo bwa Leza bwingila bukokeja kutonona muntu alonge bintu bya nkuo. (Ngalwilo 41:38; Divilu 31:3; 1 Samwele 10:6) Penepa pāingidije Yesu kishima “mushipiditu,” Nikodema wāivwene amba i mushipiditu sandu, bukomo bwa Leza bwingila.

Lelo mema nao ātelele Yesu? Ivwana binkumenkume bisonekelwe byālongekele kumeso ne pa kupwa kwa mīsambo ya Yesu na Nikodema. Binkumenkume’bi bilombola amba Yoano Mubatyiji ne bana ba bwanga ba Yesu bādi babatyija bantu mu mema. (Yoano 1:19, 31; 3:22; 4:1-3) Ne kino kilongwa kyādi kiyukilwe senene mu Yelusalema. Nanshi pēsambile Yesu na Nikodema pa mwanda utala mema, Nikodema wāyukile amba Yesu katelangapo mema o-onso, i oa a kubatyija’mo bantu.a

Kubatyijibwa “mu Mushipiditu Sandu”

Shi ‘kubutulwa ku mema’ ko ako kubatyijibwa na mema, le penepo ‘kubutulwa ku mushipiditu’ nako i bika? Kumeso kwa Yesu kwisamba na Nikodema, Yoano Mubatyiji wāsapwile amba bantu bakabatyijibwa ke enkapo mu mema, ino i ne ku mushipiditu. Wānene amba: “Amiwa nemubatyija mu mema, ino aye ukemubatyija mu Mushipiditu Sandu.” (Mako 1:7, 8) Mako mulembi wa Evanjile ulombola musunsa umbajinji wāikele’ko luno lubatyijo. Usoneka’mba: “Penepo kala byo kwadipo nabya mu oa mafuku Yesu wafundukile ku Nazala, kibundi kya Ngadilea, ino wabatyijibwa kudi Yoano monka mu Yodano. Ebiya ponka pa kwabuka bitupu pa mema wamwene diulu ke disanika, ne Mushipiditu wamutumba pamo bwa nkunda.” (Mako 1:9, 10) Yesu pa kutubikwa mu mema, wābatyijibwe ku mema. Ino kitatyi kyaātambwile mushipiditu utamba mūlu, wābatyijibwe ku mushipiditu sandu.

Myaka isatu Yesu pa kupwa kubatyijibwa, wākulupije bandi bana ba bwanga amba: “Mukabatyijibwa mu Mushipiditu Sandu, napo kepakidipo mafuku mangi, mhm.” (Bilongwa 1:5) Le uno mwanda wāfikidile kitatyi’ka?

Mu difuku dya Pentekosa mu mwaka wa 33 K.K., kintu kya bana ba bwanga 120 ba Yesu bēbungile mu njibo mu Yelusalema. “Ponkapo kwebapulumukile kitūta bwa luvula lukatampe lwa malwa lupukuma, kyayūja ne njibo yonso mo badi bashikete. Ino kwebasokokela ndimi milale mubukata īkele’nka bwa mudilo, . . . , kadi abo bonsololo bayūlwa Mushipiditu Sandu.” (Bilongwa 2:1-4) Mu difuku’dya, bantu bakwabo mu Yelusalema basoñanibwa kubatyijibwa mu mema. Mutumibwa Petelo wālombola kibumbo kya bantu amba: “Alamukai pa mutyima mubatyijibwe bonso mu dijina dya Yesu Kidishitu, nankyo ko kulekelwa kwa myanda, ebiya mukatambula kyabuntu kya Mushipiditu Sandu.” Le bantu bālonga namani? “Boba basepelele mwanda wandi babatyijibwa; balundwako mu dyonka dyadyo difuku bantu bafika ne ku bu-tununu tusatu.”—Bilongwa 2:38, 41.

Matabula Abidi

Le ino mbatyijo itala namani pa kubutulwa kupya? Ilombola amba kubutulwa kupya kulongekanga mu matabula abidi. Vuluka amba Yesu wābatyijibwe bidi mu mema. Ebiya wātambula mushipiditu sandu. Ne bana ba bwanga babajinji nabo bābatyijibwe mu mema (bamo na Yoano Mubatyiji), ebiya bātambula mushipiditu sandu. (Yoano 1:26-36) Mo monka ne bantu 3000 bāitabije ne kubatyija bābatyijibwa mu mema, ebiya kupwa ke bātambula mushipiditu sandu.

Na kulama ino mbatyijo yālongekele mu Pentekosa 33 K.K., i muswelo’ka ubwanya kulongeka kubutulwa kupya dyalelo? I muswelo umo onka na mobyāikadile mu mafuku a batumibwa ne bana ba bwanga babajinji ba Yesu. Dibajinji, muntu ufwaninwe kwisāsa ku bubi bwandi, wāalamuka ku mwiendelejo wandi umbi, wapāna būmi bwandi kudi Yehova kumutōta ne kumwingidila, ne kulombola ku bonso kuno kwipāna kwandi na kubatyijibwa mu mema. Ebiya, shi Leza wāmutonge akabikale mu Bulopwe Bwandi, nankyo washingwa māni na mushipiditu sandu. Ditabula dibajinji (kubatyijibwa mu mema) ditoñwanga na muntu mwine, ebiya dya bubidi (kubatyijibwa na mushipiditu) ditoñwanga na Leza. Shi muntu wābatyijibwa ino mbatyijo yonso ibidi, wabutulwa kupya.

Penepa mu mwisambo wa Yesu na Nikodema, mwanda waka Yesu wātelele ‘kubutulwa ku mema ne ku Mushipiditu’? I mwanda’tu wa kukomeneja kushinta kushintanga yewa ubatyijibwa mu mema ne mu mushipiditu. Kishinte kilonda’ko kisa kubandaula uno mwanda utala kubutulwa kupya.
