Vano, nlattuni Paulu waahimenryaawe iyo itthwiiyo? —Aroo. 1:7.

2-3. a) Isiyani Sotwani immananihaawe upanka wiira anihiihe untthara Yehova? b) Ninhala ukhitiri cani umalamaliha moopuwelelo oohinamaana annirikela uhiya?

² Paulu ahaana isariya yookhala ni masukhuli. Atthunaka makristau makiina yaanaahapusiya ni moopuwelelo ni miruku co ntuninyani ya Sotwani. (Efesu 4:17-19) Iyo itthwiiyo pooti unikhumelela hiivano ciicammo.

Ni Nuulumo nawe, Ibiiblya, phi nrette unhala unikavihera umalamaliha moopuwelelo oohinamaana o ntuninyani ya Sotwani.

Ni enci iriyariihu, wiira nirukunuse makhalelweehu, nahaana nihiyaka upanka citthu coohinamaana conrusa Yehova.

⁵ Masi ciicammo khaninlamuliya wiitthaala. Nihaana nanlelo niikurumicaka cinene, kontha naahiikurumiceke, unawoopiha hiivano uturuwela upanka matampi moolupale yaapankeehu nihinaaya upattisiya. Isiyani inhala unikavihera wiikurumica? Paulu nawaakhula: “Nhiye utthara meettelo o ula ulumwenkuula, masi nrukunuse meettelweenyu, nrehereryaka moopuwelelweenyu.” (Aroo. 12:2) Toko cineeraaya ila iveeruswiila, hiiva nihaana nipankaka citthu piili. Yoopacera, nihaana ‘uhiya utthara meettelo o ula ulumwenkuula,’ awula khaninlamuliya uhiyerera-tho wiira ila ituninyeela inihapuse. Yonayeeli, nihaana nirehereryaka moopuwelelweehu ni ‘urukunusa meettelweehu.’

6. Moolumo a Yesu nhina Matewus 12:43-45, anniitthuciha isiyani?

⁶ Urukunusa meettelweehu Paulu wuulumalyaawe khunakhala paasi ureeriha irutthwiihu. Unkhala urukunusa cinene makhalelweehu otheene.

Phimaana, nihaana niikohaka co: ‘Marukunuso miiva ampankaaka wiira kikhale nkristau akhanle wiittiyelelaca paasi? Awula wanrimani waka kiri mookhitiri upanka marukunuso wiira kikhale nkristau eekhweeli? Unaareera cinene upanka ayo marukunuswaayo. Nhina Matewus 12:43-45, Yesu honithoonyera itthu inlamuliyeehu upanka. (Usome.) Moolumo a Yesu anaaniitthuciha ikhweeli yuulupale: Khuntosa paasi ukumiha mmuru wihu moopuwelelo oohinamaana. Nihaana ciicammo nihelaka moopuwelelo omaana anoncivela Nluku.

Ni moolumacero makhwaawe, uyo nanlelo khaarukunusale nrimaawe.

⁹ Masi munneehu khaahiyale wiikurumica. (Miru. 24:16) Akaviheriyaka ni mahumu, uyo ahoonuwa mminepani ni wahoolo, uyo ciicammo ahokhala humu o wanlokoni. Vano, uhiyu mmoca, vate waya Isalau yo Umwene, yahonkhumelela itthu imocaaru ni ile yankhumelenle myaakha uttuli. Nlopwana nanhapaliya aapheela umwaattakaca humu mmoca. Munneehu aapankale isiyani?

Nihaana nilompaka toko nasaalimu eerale: “Ukipankihe ukhalana nrima wooreera, Nluku, ni ukivahe makhalelo o phiyaaru, oolipa.” (Isaa. 51:10) Nihaana ukupali wiira moopuwelelweehu anaapheela urehereriya, ni unlepela Yehova wiira anikavihere. Niireke uyo naahala khweeliini unikavihera? Iyee, naahala unikavihera! Wootakihera, asarayeli ukati wa porofeeta Ezekiyeli yaari oohitthuna uhimeriya. Masi woone itthu Yehova yaakhuluvelihalyaawe: ‘Mi kinaahala waavaha nrima mmoca ni kinaahala waavaha makhalelo o phiyaaru ni kinaahala waavaha nrima wo ntthu, [awula, wowiiwelela malakihero a Nluku].’ (Ezek. 11:19; niwehero) Yehova aanaapheela cinene waakavihera ale asarayeelyaale urukunusa mirima caya, ni uyo ciicammo naapheela unikavihera hiivano otheene cihu.

12-13. a) Toko cineeraaya Isaalimu 119:59, isiyani ninlamuliyeehu wuupuwela? b) Citthuni weeva cinlamuliyaa wiikoha?

¹² Wuupuwela insomeehu phi itthu yonayeeli inlamuliyeehu upanka. Ukati woosoma Ibiiblya khula nihuku, ukumihe ukati wiira wuupuwele cinene manannani cinlamuliyaa urukunusa moopuwelelwaa ni citthu cinwiira wanrimani waa.

Woohivitha itthu, ukupali wiira uhaana makhalelo oohinamaana anlamuliyaa uhiya. Vano, wiikurumice uhiya ayo makhalelwaayo.

¹³ Wootakihera, wiikohe co: ‘Kiireke miiva kihaana nttima awula ihace vakaani wanrimani waka?’ (1 Pet. 2:1) ‘Kinaayoona ukhala muulupale waavikana akhwaaka nlattu wo nipuro ninkhumaaka, usoma waka awula nlattu wookhalana mihakhu cinci?’ (Miru. 16:5) ‘Kinaawoonaka ukhala atthu oohifayita ale ahirina citthu miiva cirinaaka ni atthu okhapila cikiina?’ (Tiya. 2:2-4) ‘Kiireke wanrimani waka cinaakicivela citthu cinvahaaya ituninya ya Sotwani?’ (1 Joau 2:15-17) ‘Kiireke anaakicivela mathukelo anoonihera inttewo awula uraruwa?’ (Isaa. 97:10; 101:3; Amos 5:15) Mananna weeva cinhalaa waakhula pooti wuuthoonyera mapuro anlamuliyaa urehererya makhalelwaa. Ninaacuwela wiira upanka marukunuso toko ayo wanrimani wihu pooti unirikela toko umalamaliha “citthu coolipihaciya cinene.” Masi neekurumicaka, ninaahala waatteeliha nrima cinene Apaapeehu, Yehova.—Isaa. 19:14.

14. Kontha isiyani unaareera cinene waathanla ratta atthu ampheeleehu waapatthanana?

¹⁵ Uhiliyale wiira Sotwani holakela uhonona moopuwelelweehu. Uyo naavarela nteko mananna owuupuwela menci wiira anihiihe weettela ikhweeli iri Nnuulumoni na Nluku.

¹⁶ Sotwani nanlelo naakoha itthu imocaaru ni ile yankohalyaawe Hawa unlavani no Eeteni: “Iyo phi itthu Nluku khweeliini yiiralyaawe?” (Upha. 3:1) Ila ituninya ya Sotwaniila, hiiva imaara cinci ninawiiwaka makoho ampheela urukunusa moopuwelelweehu. Toko co: ‘Nluku naakhottiiha khweeliini uthelanaca alopwanaru awula athiyanaru? Nluku khweeliini nawuukhottiha weeva upanka isikuhuulu yo Natali ni yo nihuku niyariyaawe ntthu? Nluku weeva nonswalelaa khweeliini mpheela wiira ukhotte uheleliya iphome? Ukhala wiira Nluku naafenta cinene, uyo khweeliini mpheela wiira weeva uhiwuulumane amucyaa ni apatthannyaa akumihiye wanlokoni?

17. Isiyani ninlamuliyeehu upanka yakhumelelaka makoho oopheela unipankiha wancera uhaamini citthu cinkupaliihu? Toko cineeraaya Akolosu 2:6, 7, isiyani inhala unikhumelela napankaka iyo?

Uhaamini pooti urukunusa moopuwelelweehu ni pooti uhonona waamini wihu. Isiyani inlamuliyeehu upanka? Ibiiblya ineera wiira hiiva ninlamuliya urehererya moopuwelelweehu wiira niithoonyere naasineeneehu “itthu yomaana, yootthunnyaa ni yoohipahuwa impheelaawe Nluku.” (Aroo. 12:2) Wiisomiha Ibiiblya veekha pooti unikavihera wiithoonyera naasineeneehu wiira ile ineetthuceehu mbiiblyani ikhanle ikhweeli. Ciicammo unaahala unikavihera ukupaleeha wiira ikettelo ca Yehova cikhanle khweeliini comaana. Vano, ninaahala ukhala toko mwiri wo mitithari cookhomaala; ninaahala ukhala “oolipa nhina waamini.”—Usome Akolosu 2:6, 7.

18. Isiyani inhala unikhikicera wiira ituninya ya Sotwani ihinihonone?

Ukhalane apatthani omaana; waapatthanane atthu anhala wuukavihera urehererya moopuwelelwaa. Wapanka commo, unaahala wiikhikicera wiira ituninya yoohinamaana ya Sotwani ihuuhonone, ni unaahala ukhitiri umalamaliha “moopuwelelo ni khula ittiyelelo yo wiittitthihaca ineekhumeleliha wiira ivirikanihe ucuwela wa Nluku.”—2 Akor. 10:5.
