Wamulejeli Baranaba nindi: “Ichi dinu tuyenu tufunti nakuhempula anakwetu munyisumba yejima mutwashimwinini izu daYehova kulonda twakatali chinakushakamawu.” (Yilw. 15:36) Pawulu wahosheleña hohu wanyi hakuya nakuyihempula awa akaKristu amaha. Mukanda waYilwilu wamwekesha chaletesheli Pawulu ayi halwendu lwindi lwamuchiyedi lwawumishonali. Chatachi, wayileña nakuyileja amanakwindi chafuukwili izanvu dalombolaña. (Yilw. 16:4) Chamuchiyedi, chineli wadiña nkoñi wañinza, Pawulu wafwilileña kuya nakukolesha yipompelu nikuyikwasha kulonda ekali nachikuhwelelu chakola. (Rom. 1:11, 12) Indi kuloñesha kwawaYinsahu jaYehova amakonu kwelaña ñahi neyi chelileñawu apostolu?

Izanvu Dalombolaña datonda akulumpi amavulu mukaayi kejima kwikala ankoñi añinza.

Zataku chikupu mudimu weyi.”—2 Tim. 4:2, 5.

Ankoñi añinza amuchidi iwu ekala neyena mumudimu wakushimwina nawa eluka chakutañisha, yilwilu yawu yayiwahi yakwashaña ejima muchipompelu, yakwashaña anyikoku. (Rom. 12:11; 2 Tim. 2:15). Awa ankoñi añinza ayiluka muloña wakukeña kwawu kwakudihana, adihana awenawu kwenda mumaluña ashiyashana nimumaluña mwekala wubanji.

Ejima muchipompelu ahetelañamu neyi atoñojoka hayilwilu yayiwahi yikwetiwu awa ankoñi añinza nikwimbujola chikuhwelelu chawu.—Heb. 13:7.

“Atachikili Kutaadeka Chikupu” (Yilwilu 15:37-41)

8. Baranaba welili ñahi namutambi waPawulu?

⁸ Baranaba wetejeli mwahosheli Pawulu nindi “ayi nakuhempula anakwetu.” (Yilw. 15:36) Awa ayedi azatilili hamu mumudimu wakwenda nawa ejima wawu adiña eluka dehi maluña niantu endeleleñawu. (Yilw. 13:2–14:28) Dichi yitoñojoka yakudibomba hamu nakuzata iwu mudimu yamwekeneña neyi yayiwahi nawa yadi kuzatika. Ilaña kudi chuma chamwekeni. Yilwilu 15:37 yashimuna nawu: “Baranaba wafwilileña kusenda Yowanu, ateneneñawu nawu Maku.” Baranaba hadiña hohu nakuleta yitoñojokaku. Ilaña “wafwilileña” kusenda musonyindi Maku hanilu lwendu lwawu lwawumishonali.

9. Chumanyi chakojejeli Pawulu naBaranaba kuditadikisha?

⁹ Pawulu wetejeli wanyi. Muloñadi? Mukanda waYilwilu watulejaña nawu: “Ilaña Pawulu hetejeli nindi amusendi iwu muntu [Maku] kulonda ayi nindiku, muloña wayishiyili muPamfwiliya nawa wakaanini kuya nawu hamu mumudimu.” (Yilw. 15:38) Maku wendeli naPawulu niBaranaba halwendu lwawu lwawumishonali, ilaña wakañenyi kutwalekahu kwenda nawu. (Yilw. 12:25; 13:13) Kumatachikilu alwendu hohu, iku achidi muPamfwiliya, Maku washili mudimu windi nawa wafuntili kuYerusalema. Bayibolu yatuleja wanyi chaletesheli afunti, ilaña kapostolu Pawulu wamweni neyi Maku nashikilimu wanyi. Hadaha Pawulu wajinokeleña neyi chakwila atela kumukuhwelela nikumushindamena Maku.

10. Yumanyi yafumini mukuditaadeka kwaPawulu niBaranaba?

¹⁰ Hela chochu, Baranaba wafwilileña chikupu kumusenda Maku. Ilaña Pawulu wakeñeleña wanyi. Yilwilu 15:39 yahosha nawu: “Hamuloña wachumichi, atachikili kutaadeka chikupu chakwila adaambwili nikudaambula.” Baranaba wayili nambopolu kumukala wawu hachitutu chaKipirosi nawa wamusendeli Maku. Pawulu watwalekelihu nalwendu lwindi. Mukanda waYilwilu wahosha nawu: “Pawulu watondeli Silasi nawa wanyamukili nakuya hanyima yakwila amanakwindi anamulombeliku dehi kudi Yehova nawu yamumwekesheli luwi lwindi lwasweja.” (Yilw. 15:40) Muwuyedi wawu “ahitili muSiriya nimuSilisiya nakukolesha yipompelu.”—Yilw. 15:41.

11. Yilwilwinyi yinateli kutukwasha hakwila tubuli kudihela haya nyaaka mulwetu hela namuntu wunatuhukeshi?

¹¹ Iyi nsañu yatwanukishaña hohu hakubula kuwanina kwetu. APawulu naBaranaba ayitondeli kwikala añimenu ezanvu dalombolaña. Hadaha Pawulu wenjili nakwikala membala wamunidi izanvu mukuhita kwampinji. Hela chochu, haniyi mpinji, kubula kuwanina kwakojejeli aPawulu naBaranaba kutaadeka. Komana chumichi chaletesheli adiheli haya nyaaka? Hela chakwila adiña awanina wanyi, aPawulu naBaranaba adiña amayala adizoza, adiña nayitoñojoka yaKristu. Chakadi nikujina, chimwahitili mpinji amwekesheli yilwilu yawakaKristu nawa adanakeneni. (Efwe. 4:1-3) Chimwahitili mpinji, Pawulu naMaku azatilili hamu nyidimu yikwawu yamukuloñesha.a—Kol. 4:10.

12. Yilwilwinyi yatela kwikala nawakulumpi makonu hakwimbujola Pawulu niBaranaba?

Baranaba amwilukili nawu wadiña namuchima wawuwahi nawa wachisambu chakwila amuteneneña wanyi nejina dindi dadeni daYosefu, apostolu amutumbili nawu Baranaba, chaya mukwila nawu “Mwana kaNkundeji.” (Yilw. 4:36) Pawulu niyena amwilukili nawu wamwovu nawa wadiña nakukeña. (1 Tes. 2:7, 8) Hakumwimbujola Pawulu naBaranaba, akulumpi akaKristu ejima makonu, kushilahu niankoñi añinza, atela kuzata nañovu kulonda ekali adizoza nikukeña akwawu akulumpi kushilahu ninyikoku yejima.—1 Pet. 5:2, 3.

“Amuhamekeleña Kudi Anakwindi” (Yilwilu 16:1-3)

13, 14. (a) Timotewu wadiña hinyi, nawaPawulu wamuwanini mpinjinyi? (b) Chumanyi chakojejeli Pawulu amwiluki Timotewu? (c) Mudimwinyi watambwililiyi Timotewu?

¹³ Halwendu lwaPawulu lwawumishonali lwamuchiyedi wayili munkambi yaRoma yaÑalija, mwadiña yipompelu yantesha. Nkumininaku “ashikili kuDeribi nikuLisitira.” Mukanda waYilwilu watwalekahu nawu: “Kambanji wejina daTimotewu dikwadiñayi, mwana kamumbanda kaYudeya wetiya ilaña tata yindi wadiña kaGiriki.”—Yilw. 16:1.b

¹⁴ Chinamwekani neyi Pawulu wadimweni nachisaka chaTimotewu hendeleliyi idi iluña muchaaka cha 47 C.E. Ilaña hanilu lwendu henohu munahiti yaaka yiyedi hela yisatu, Pawulu namumoni kansi weyala Timotewu. Muloñadi? Muloña Timotewu “amuhamekeli kudi anakwindi.” Bayi neyi amuhamekeli kudi anakwindi amunawa maluña mwashakamineñayi hohuku ilaña yilwilu yindi yayiwahi yashikili nikuyipompelu yikwawu. Mukanda waYilwilu walumbulula nawu amanakwetu muLisitira niIkoniyumu, hadiña makilomita 30, ahosheliwu nsañu yayiwahi hadi iwu mukwenzi. (Yilw. 16:2) Chayilombweliwu kudi spiritu yajila, akulumpi amwinkeli kansi Timotewu mudimu walema wakuyikwasha aPawulu naSilasi mumudimu wawu wakwenda.—Yilw. 16:3.

15, 16. Yilwilwinyi yadiñayi nayu Timotewu yaletesheli ekali nejina dadiwahi?

¹⁵ Chumanyi chakojejeli Timotewu kwikala nejina dadiwahi henohu wuchidi kansi? Komana hikubabala kwadiñayi naku, indi kwiji mmwekenu yakumujimba, tahindi wadiña nawuswa wakwila mwenimu? Kakavulu antu atiyaña kuwaha neyi muntu wudi naniyi yuma. Nikaprofwetu Samweli mpinji yimu watalileña antu kumesu. Hela chochu, Yehova wamwanukishili nindi: “Muloña chamonañayi muntu hidichamonañayi Nzambiku, muloña muntu wamonaña hanji yamujimba, ilaña Yehova wamonaña mumuchima.” (1 Sam. 16:7) Hayuma yejima, Timotewu amwilukili nejina dadiwahi kudi akwawu akaKristu muloña wayilwilu yindi yayiwahi.

¹⁶ Chimwahitili yaaka yayivulu, kapostolu Pawulu wahosheli hayilwilu yimu yayiwahi yadiñayi nayu Timotewu. Pawulu wamulumbulwili Timotewu nindi, hafwilileña yuma yakuditiyisha yomweni kuwahaku, wadiña nakukeña kwakudihana nawa wadikitileña chikupu munyidimu yaWanta. (Fwili. 2:20-22) Timotewu cheñi amwilukili nawu wadiña “nachikuhwelelu . . . chakadi wunfwikiji.”—2 Tim. 1:5.

17. Atwansi makonu anateli kumwimbujola ñahi Timotewu?

¹⁷ Makonu, atwansi amavulu amwimbujolaña Timotewu kuhitila mukwikala nayilwilu yayiwahi. Dichi atuñaña ijina dadiwahi naYehova ninawakwawu antu, iku achidi atwansi. (Yish. 22:1; 1 Tim. 4:15) Hiyekala nachikuhwelelu chawunfwikijiku, kuhitila mukwila aha hiyamanakwetu aha hiyantu akwituña. (Mas. 26:4) Nawa chafumañamu, atwansi amavulu, kufwana Timotewu, azataña mudimu walema muchipompelu. Akoleshaña antu ejima amukeña Yehova adiwu nawu neyi ashikahu kwikala akakushimwina ansañu yayiwahi nawa mukuhita kwampinji adihana aweni kudi Yehova nakupapatishewa!

“Kwikala naChikuhwelelu Chakola” (Yilwilu 16:4, 5)

18. (a) Kukoolekanyi kwadiña naPawulu niTimotewu hampinji yakalakeleñawu wunkoñi wañinza? (b) Nawa yumanyi yafuminimu?

¹⁸ Pawulu naTimotewu azatilili hamu hadi yaaka yayivulu. Awa ankoñi endaña azatili nyidimu yayivulu neyi chayilejeliwu kudi izanvu dalombolaña. Bayibolu yashimuna nawu: “Chahitileñawu munyisumba, alejeleña antu nshimbi jakasiliwu apostolu niakulumpi adiña muYerusalema nawu ajovwahileña.” (Yilw.16:4) Chinamwekani neyi yipompelu yalondeleli wunlomboli wafumini kudi akulumpi niapostolu muYerusalema. Nawa chuma chafumini mukwovwahila kwawu, “yipompelu yatwalekelihu kwikala nachikuhwelelu chakola nawa antu avulilileñaku hefuku-hefuku.”—Yilw.16:5.

19, 20. Muloñadi akaKristu chatela kovwahilawu “owu anakulombola”?

¹⁹ Munjila yoyimu, aYinsahu jaYehova makonu adiluñishaña nkisu jajivulu hamuloña wakwovwahila wunlomboli kudi “anakulombola mukachi” kawu. (Heb. 13:17) Chineli yuma mukaayi yinakuhimpika mpinji yejima, chalema nankashi akaKristu ejima kudaña yakuda yakuspiritu yinakuloñeshawu kudi “nduñu wamaana nikashinshi.” (Mat. 24:45; 1 Kor. 7:29-31) Neyi twilaña mwenimu chikutukiña kuwubanji wakuspiritu nawa chikutukwasha kutwalekahu kwikala akadi ihuji mukanu kaayi.—Yak. 1:27.

²⁰ Eña, akulumpi muchipompelu chawakaKristu makonu, kushilahu niIzanvu Dalombolaña awanina wanyi, neyi chadiña aPawulu, Baranaba, Maku, niakulumpi awayishewa adiña muyaaka nkulakaji yakusambila.

(2 Tim. 1:13, 14) Chafumañamu, yipompelu yakolelañaku nawa ekalaña nachikuhwelelu chakola.
