“DIUI DIAKI [NZAMBI]”

Joani 1:1 mbutaka ɔnɛ: “Diui diaki l’etatelu; Diui diaki kame la [Nzambi]; Diui diaki [Nzambi].” Otsha l’ekomelo ka tshapita yakɔ yâmɛ, ɔpɔstɔlɔ Joani mɛnyaka hwe dia Yeso mbele “Dui.” (Joani 1:14, Bible k’Ekila) Koko, lam’ele Dui mbelamɛka Nzambi, amɔtshi mbutaka ɔnɛ Ɔna la Papa pombaka monga Nzambi kâmɛ.

Ohɔ di’etenyi ka Bible kɛnɛ kakafundama ntondo lo Grɛkɛ. L’ɔkɔngɔ diko, akadimudi wakayokadimolaka awui w’oma lo Grɛkɛ oya lo ɛtɛkɛta ekina. Koko akadimudi wa Bible efula kokamba la etelo k’ɔnɛ: “Diui diaki [Nzambi].” Lande na? Oko wakawayele ewo kawɔ ka Grɛkɛ kakafundama Bible, akadimudi asɔ wakɛnyi dia etelo k’ɔnɛ: “Diui diaki [Nzambi]” pombaka kadimɔma lo yoho yotshikitanyi. Lo yoho yakɔna? Bɛnyɛlɔ dingana diɔ nɛ: “Logos [Dui] diaki la eongelo kele oko Nzambi.” (A New Translation of the Bible) “Dui diakikɔ nzambi.” (The New Testament in an Improved Version) “Dui diaki kâmɛ la Nzambi ndo diaki la eongelo kele oko kande.” (The Translator’s New Testament) Lo ndjela dikadimwelo sɔ, Dui kema Nzambi ndamɛ.a Koko lo menda dihole dia lâdiko diele la nde l’atei wa ditongami diaki Jehowa, Dui mbɔsamaka oko “nzambi.” Lanɛ tshɛkɛta “nzambi” nembetshiyaka “kanga wolo.”

ƐKƆKƆ EKINA WƐNYA DI’ƆNA NTSHIKITANA LA PAPA

Anto efula haweye Grɛkɛ kofundami lo Bible. Ko ngande wakokayɛ mbeya kɛnɛ kakalange ɔpɔstɔlɔ Joani mbuta mɛtɛ? Ohɔsa ɛnyɛlɔ kɛnɛ: Ombetsha ekɔ lo nembetshiya ambeki ande dui dimɔtshi. L’ɔkɔngɔ diko, ambeki hawongi la eokelo kâmɛ ka kɛnɛ kolembetshiyishande. Ngande wakoka ambeki nkandola okakatanu ɔsɔ? Vɔ koka nɔmba ombetsha dia mbasha elembetshielo ekina. Aha la tâmu, naka vɔ nkondja elembetshielo ekina, kete kɛsɔ ayowakimanyiya dia nshihodia dui sɔ. Woho akɔ wâmɛ mbele, dia nshihodia kitshimudi ya Joani 1:1, wɛ koka mboka sso lo Evanjiliɔ waki Joani dia mbeya awui akina wendana la dihole diele la Yeso. Naka wɛ mbeya awui akina wendana la dui sɔ, kete kɛsɔ ayokokimanyiya dia wɛ mbeya mɛtɛ ka dikambo.

Ɛnyɛlɔ, enda kɛnɛ kakafunde Joani nto lo tshapita 1, divɛsa 18: “Ndooko onto lakɛnyi Nzambi [Kanga-Wolo-Tshɛ].” Koko, anto wakɛnyi Yeso, mbuta ate Ɔna, nɛ dia Joani mbutaka ate: “Dui [Yeso] diakayoyala onto, diakayodjasɛ l’atei aso ndo takɛnyi lotombo lande.” (Joani 1:14) Lâsɔ ngande wakoka Ɔna monga onto ɔtɔi la Nzambi Kanga-Wolo-Tshɛ? Joani mbutaka nto dia Dui diaki “kaamɛ la Nzambi.” Ko ngande wakoka onto monga kâmɛ l’onto ɔmɔtshi ko lo etena kakɔ kâmɛ monga tshondo y’onto akɔ? Lâdiko dia lâsɔ, oko wadita Joani 17:3, Yeso akɛnya hwe dia nde ntshikitana la She lele l’olongo. Nde mbelɛka She ate: “Nzambi ɔtɔi ka mɛtɛ.” Ndo otsha l’ekomelo k’Evanjiliɔ ande, Joani pembolaka dikambo lo tshena pe ate: “Akambo anɛ wambofundama dia nyu mbetawɔ dia Yeso kele Kristo, Ɔna Nzambi.” (Joani 20:31) Wɛ ambɛna dia Yeso mbelamɛka Ɔna Nzambi, koko aha Nzambi. Dui dikina diele lo Evanjiliɔ waki Joani mɛnyaka woho wahomba anto mboka Joani 1:1. Yeso, mbuta ate Dui, ekɔ “nzambi” lo yoho nyɛ yele nde ekɔ lo dihole dia lâdiko, koko nde bu woho ɔtɔi la Nzambi Kanga-Wolo-Tshɛ.

SHIKIKƐ AWUI

Ohokanyiya nto ɛnyɛlɔ kaki ombetsha nde l’ambeki. Ohɔsa di’ambeki amɔtshi weke paka la tâmu, kânga l’ɔkɔngɔ w’ombetsha mbasha elembetshielo ekina. Akokawɔ nsala? Vɔ koka ntshɔ le ombetsha okina dia nyomoteya awui akina lo dikambo diakɔ diâmɛ. Naka ombetsha wa hende ambɛnya dia elembetshielo wakasha ombetsha wa ntondo wekɔ mɛtɛ, kete tâmu taki ambeki efula mbeyaka nshila. Woho akɔ wâmɛ mbele, naka wɛ hashikikɛ kɛnɛ kakate ofundji wa Bible Joani lo dikambo di’otshikitanu wele lam’asa Yeso nde la Nzambi Kanga-Wolo-Tshɛ, kete wɛ koka menda kɛnɛ kakafunde ofundji okina wa Bible. Ɛnyɛlɔ, ohenda kɛnɛ kakafunde Mateo. Lo kɛnɛ kendana l’ekomelo k’andja ɔnɛ, nde akavusola ɛtɛkɛta waki Yeso lo mbuta ɔnɛ: “Lo kɛnɛ kendana la lushi kana la wonya akɔ, ndooko onto leya, kaanga andjelo wa l’olongo, kaanga Ɔna, paka Papa ndamɛ.” (Mateo 24:36) Ngande wɛnya ɛtɛkɛta ɛnɛ dia Yeso bu Nzambi Kanga-Wolo-Tshɛ?

Yeso mbutaka dia Papa mbeyaka awui efula ndeka Ɔna. Koko, otondonga Yeso mbaki Nzambi Kanga-Wolo-Tshɛ, tshike nde akahombe mbeya awui akɔ wâmɛ wakeyaka She. Lâsɔ Ɔna nde la She kema popo. Koko anto akina mbeyaka mbuta ɔnɛ: ‘Yeso ekɔ la diongelo dihende. Lo divɛsa nɛ, nde ekɔ lo ntɛkɛta oko onto.’ Koko, kânga otondonga dikambo sɔ diekɔ ngasɔ, kayotota lo dikambo dia nyuma k’ekila? Naka tɔ kekɔ otondo ɔtɔi la Nzambi Papa, lande na kaki Yeso kombuta dia tɔ mbeyaka kɛnɛ keya Papa?

Naka wɛ ntetemala la wekelo ayɛ wa Bible, kete wɛ ayeya avɛsa efula wa lo Bible wendana la wetshelo ɔsɔ. Vɔ tɛnyaka kɛnɛ kele mɛtɛ lo dikambo dia Papa, Ɔna la nyuma k’ekila.​—Osambo 90:2; Etsha 7:55; Kɔlɔsayi 1:15.

MILIYƆ y’anto nangaka ndo mbɔsaka kurusɛ la nɛmɔ. Dibuku dimɔtshi (The Encyclopædia Britannica) mbelɛka kurusɛ ɔnɛ “djembetelo ya woke y’ɔtɛmwɛlɔ w’Okristo.” Koko, Akristo wa mɛtɛ hawokambe la kurusɛ l’ɔtɛmwɛlɔ. Lande na?

Ɔkɔkɔ ɔmɔtshi w’ohomba ele, Yeso Kristo komvɔ lo kurusɛ. Tshɛkɛta ya lo Grɛkɛ yakadimɔma mbala efula ɔnɛ “kurusɛ” ekɔ stau·rosʹ. Yɔ nembetshiyaka mɛtɛ “ekundji kana otamba wosembwe tɔɔ.” Dibuku dimɔtshi (The Companion Bible) mbutaka ɔnɛ: “[Stau·rosʹ] halembetshiya pondjo esongo ehende weketanyemi . . . Ndoko dikambo ɔtɔi dia lo Grɛkɛ kakawafunde lo [Daka di’Oyoyo] dialembetshiya tenyi pende di’osongo.”

Lo avɛsa efula, afundji wa Bible kambaka la tshɛkɛta kina dia nembetshiya otamba wakawahanɛ Yeso lɔkɔ. Tshɛkɛta ya lo Grɛkɛ xyʹlon mbakamba la wɔ. (Etsha 5:30; 10:39; 13:29; Ngalatiya 3:13; 1 Petero 2:24)
