Ne mukutudile binangu.’ Bakuetu bena Kidishitu be na lukalo lua kupusha mayi a bakulu aebanyingisha.

Mpa kuata mpango bua kunyingisha baaba be na lukalo na kunyingishibua. (Badika Bikitshino 20:28.) Nsaa i bakulu abakitshi biabia, abambula balami ba kala. Bu kileshesho, tala bibaakitshine ungi mukunkushi sha lulamato Neemiya nsaa ibamuene’shi bangi bakuabo bena Yuda babaadi babofule mu kikudi. Bible amba’shi bebuele musango umune aye nkuibanyingisha.

Bua kuibanyingisha mu wawa mushindo, abendaa mukutala bakuabo balume na bakashi ku mashibo abo su kui mushindo. Paapa pabende mu kuibatembela bua kuibanyingisha, abekalaa na lukalo lua ‘kwibatwadila kya buuntu kya mu kikudi.’ (Lom. 1:11) Nkinyi akikuashaa bakulu bua kukita biabia?

Pabakuete kuisamba, mukulu atadiila bakuabo balume na bakashi bua’shi bakule mianda i mu mashimba, na kuibatemesha kalolo kushi kuibatshiba ku mayi. (Shak. 1:19) Ungi mukuetu mukashi amba’shi: “Su mukulu kuete nkutemesha kalolo, abinyingishaa ngofu.”​—Luka 8:18.

13. (a) Nsaa kinyi ibaadi Yishebibe-Nobe mukimbe kuipaa Davide? (b) Abishaayi baadi mumupashe naminyi?

¹³ Mafuku apela kunyima kua Davide baadi nsongua kuedibua muimu bua kuikala mfumu, baadi mulue ngoshi na Golyate, umune a ku bena Refaime, baadi kilobo. N’eshimba dinyingie dioso, Davide bamuipayile. (1 Sam. 17:4, 48-51; 1 Mya. 20:5, 8) Kunyima kua bipua, nsaa ibaabadi abalu ngoshi na bena Filistine, Davide baadi mulue ngoshi na kingi kilobo. Eshina dia yawa muntu nyi Yishebibe-Nobe, ungi muina Refaime. (2 Sam. 21:16.) Bua uno musango, kubaadi kushale nka kapela bua’shi yawa muntu ayipee Davide. Buakinyi? Ta kuamba’shi Davide tabaadi dingi n’eshimba dinyingie nya, kadi mmuanda washi takiayikalanga dingi na bukome buibungi.

Baadi na lutumbu lukata kui Abishaayi muanda baadi mumupasukile na bafikile bukidi bua kumukuasha pabaadi muwa waye mu masaku! Uno muisambo awitulongiesha kinyi?

¹⁴ Mu nsenga ishima, atue bafubi ba Yehowa atutungunukaa na kulungula mukandu wibuwa sunga mbiabetukiengiesha kui Satana na bantu baye. Bangi ba kuatudi mbafumankane na nkalakashi ikata, kadi pa kukulupila mui Yehowa n’eshimba dimune, tuibatshimune yaya nkalakashi i bu “Golyate.” Anka, kutungunuka na kulua na nkalakashi ya mu uno ndumbuluilo, akuitulekaa ingi nsaa bapungile na babofule. Mu yaya nsaa yatudi bakookie, mbibofule bua’shi nkalakashi yatudi balombene kukambila su tui na bukome itutshimune. Biabia, bukuashi buabetupa kui mukulu mu nsaa ilombane abuitukuasha bua kupetuula muloo na bukome buetu, anka bu abilesha bakuetu bebungi. Ungi mbala-mashinda e na bipua bikile pa 60 amba’shi: “kubapu kukila mafuku, ntshinadi nepusha bibuwa nya, na mudimo wa kulungula mukandu wibuwa ubaadi aunkokiesha. Ungi mukulu baadi mumone’shi ntshinadi na bukome, aye nkufika mu kunkuasha. Kifundue kia mu Bible kibaadi mumpe patubaadi atuisamba kibaadi kinyingishe ngofu. Nadi mufubishe mayele abaadi mundungule, abio nkunkuasha ngofu.” Amba dingi’shi: “Nadi musankie ngofu pabaadi yawa mukulu mumone’shi nemukookie na aye nkufika mu kunkuasha!” Eyendo, tui na muloo ukata wa kuikala na bakulu abetupasukilaa na kifulo kioso na ‘abafikaa mu kuitukuasha’ nka bu bibaadi Abishaayi mukuashe Davide.

Baadi mufundile bena Kodinda’shi: “Na muloo ooso, naatuusha byooso na kwipaana ami nabeene na bushima bwande pa mwande wenu.” (2 Kod. 12:15) Biabia, bu bibaadi Mpoolo mufule bakuabo, baadi muipaane ngofu bua kuibanyingisha. (Badika 2 Bena-Kodinda 2:4; Fid. 2:17; 1 Tes. 2:8) Nyi buakinyi bakuetu babaadi bafule Mpoolo bikata!​—Bikitshino 20:31-38.
