SIMƆNA k’Ose Samariya akalɛmiamaka efula lo ngelo kawɔ. Nde akasɛnaka l’eleko ka ntondo T.D., ndo anto wakɔ̂ngɛnangɛnaka efula l’ɔtɛ w’alɔhɔ wakandatshaka ko wakataka dikambo diande ɔnɛ: “Untu one eko wulu a [Nzambi], wetawo vati: Wuki.”—Etsha 8:9-11.
L’ɔkɔngɔ wa Simɔna koma Okristo wambobatizama, nde akasuya ɔnɛ wolo ɔmɔtshi woleki wɔnɛ waki lande ntondo wekɔ. Ɔsɔ aki wolo wakawasha apɔstɔlɔ wa Yeso, wakiwɔ ndo l’akoka wa mbisha anto akina weshasha wa diambo wa nyuma k’ekila. Simɔna akambe heyama ko nde akasha apɔstɔlɔ falanga ndo akâlɔmbɛ ate: “Nyumbisha ndu dimi wulu one, dia untu tshe layumahe anya, ku ndi nungula [n]yuma [“k’ekila,” NW].”—Etsha 8:13-19.
Kele ɔpɔstɔlɔ Petero akahangwɛ Simɔna ate: “Fesa yaye yavu la ye! ne dia we ambukana wati: Dimi layulungula ushasha a [Nzambi] la falanga. We kema la etenyi kana leke lu dikambu ne, ne dia utema aye kema ololo lu ashu a [Nzambi].”—Etsha 8:20, 21.
Oma l’ɔkɔndɔ wa lo Bible ɔsɔ mbakatɔngɔ tshɛkɛta “simonie,” kitshimudi ate: “pɛkato katsha onto lam’asondjande kana asombande dihole kana pɛtɛ l’atei w’ɔtɛmwɛlɔ.” La nouvelle Encyclopédie catholique (lo Angɛlɛ) suyaka ɔnɛ djekoleko oma l’eleko ka 9 polo ka 11 “mbakaleke diangana tshelo shɔ ya simonie lo waa kuva, l’asa andjashi Nzambi, episkɔpɔ, ndo le wa papa l’ɔrɔma.” Etenyi ka 9 ka Encyclopædia Britannica (1878) mɛnyaka ɔnɛ: “Naka sho mbeka ɔkɔndɔ wa nganɛ wakâhɔnaka waa Papa ya l’Ɔrɔma lo nsanganya yakawɔtɔka, kete tayɛna dia ndoko lushi lakawatɔka longanda dia mbidja papa kɛmɔtshi lo lowandji naka nde hasumbi dihole sɔ losomba, etena kele l’akambo efula, tshelo ya simonie yakɛnamaka la washo lo nsanganya yakawɔtɔka, dui dia sɔnyi efula, koko diakawalekaka ntsha.”
Nshi nyɛ, Akristo wa mɛtɛ pombaka ndjâlama lo dikambo dia simonie. Oko ɛnyɛlɔ, anto amɔtshi mbishaka wanɛ wakoka mbasha waɛsɛ wa lâdiko dilɛmiɛlɔ di’efula kana weshasha wa la lolango la lɔɔngɔ la kondja waɛsɛ amɔtshi wa lâdiko. Diokanelo dia ngasɔ dia la wanɛ wakoka mbishana waɛsɛ mbeyaka ndjâkonya lo vɔ senya kana monga la shɔnɔdi otsha le wanɛ wele l’akoka—ndo ondo wakombola monga la waɛsɛ akɔ—di’aha vɔ mbâkondja. Vɔ akɔ ahende: oyadi ɔnɛ lakimɔ kana la longola weshasha ɛsɔ kɔ̂ka lo simonie, etena kele Afundelo mɛnyaka hwe ɔnɛ tshelo shɔ bu dimɛna. Petero akatɛ Simɔna ate: “Ukadimuli utema uma lu kolo kene, olombe Khumadiondjo, kana ndi ayukudimanyia tukanyi ta utema aye [“lokeso layɛ,” Bible de Jérusalem]. Ne dia dimi lambena nti: We eko la losongu l’ululu ndu lu dimama di’akambu wa kolo.”—Etsha 8:22, 23.
Diɛsɛ ko, Simɔna akɛnyi ɔnɛ nde ambokongola onongo a woke oma lo sɔngu kande ka kɔlɔ. Nde akasɛngasɛnga ɔpɔstɔlɔ ate: “Nyonombele Khumadiondjo, akambu wutshinyu tawuyalaki le mi.” (Etsha 8:24) Naka vɔ ndjela wetshelo w’ohomba efula wele l’ɔkɔndɔ ɔnɛ, kete Akristo w’eshika wayotsha tshɛ dia mbewɔ woho tshɛ wa simonie.
