“Cileendelana Amajwi aa Basinsimi” (Milimo 15:13-21)

4, 5. Majwi nzi Jakobo ngaakaamba kuzwa mu Jwi lya Leza lyabusinsimi?

Kubaalumi ibakali amuswaangano, Jakobo wakaamba kuti: “Simiyoni wapandulula cakusalazya Leza kwaciindi cakusaanguna mbwaakababikkila maano bamasi kuti mulimbabo ajane bantu bazina lyakwe. Alimwi eeci cileendelana amajwi aa Basinsimi.”—Mil. 15:14, 15.

⁵ Mulumbe wa Simiyoni, naa Simoni Petro, alimwi abumboni bwakapegwa a Barnaba a Paulo kweelede kuti nzyezyakapa Jakobo kuyeeya magwalo aakagwasya kapati mumakani aakali kubandikwa. (Joh. 14:26) Naakamana kwaamba majwi aakuti “cileendelana amajwi aa Basinsimi,” Jakobo wakazubulula majwi aali ku Amosi 9:11, 12. Eeli bbuku lyakali cibeela ca Magwalo aa Chihebrayo alo aakali kwiitwa kuti “Basinsimi.” (Mt. 22:40; Mil. 15:16-18) Mulajana kuti majwi ngaakazubulula Jakobo aliindene amajwi aajanika mubbuku lya Amosi mazuba aano. Kweelede kuti Jakobo wakaazubulula kuzwa mu Septuagint, ibusanduluzi bwa Chigiriki bwa Magwalo aa Chihebrayo.

6. Mbuti Magwalo mbwaakagwasya mumakani aakali kubandikwa?

⁶ Kwiinda mumusinsimi Amosi, Jehova wakasinsima kuti, ciyoosika ciindi Walo naakali kuyoobusya “ŋanda ya Davida,” nkokuti zyalani lyabami ilyakali kuyoosololela ku Bwami bwabu Mesiya. (Ezk. 21:26, 27) Sena Jehova alimwi kuli naakacili kuyoobalanganya ba Juda bakumubili kabali cisi munzila yaalubazu? Peepe. Businsimi bulayungizya kuti “bantu bamumasi oonse” bakali kuyooyobololwa kabali ‘bantu ibaitwa azina lya Leza.’ Kamuyeeya kuti Petro wakapa bumboni bwakuti Leza ‘kunyina naakatondezya kwiindana kuli koonse akati kandiswe toba Juda Banakristo ambabo Bamasi ibalaalusyomo, pele wakasalazya myoyo yabo kwiinda mulusyomo.’ (Mil. 15:9) Munzila imwi, nkuyanda kwa Leza kuti ba Juda alimwi a Bamasi babe basikulela ba Bwami. (Rom. 8:17; Ef. 2:17-19) Businsimi ibwakasololelwa amuuya kunyina nobwaamba kuti Bamasi ibaalusyomo beelede kusaanguna kupalulwa kumubili naa kuba ba Juda basandule kutegwa beelele kuba basikulela ba Bwami.

7, 8. (a) Ncinzi ncaakaamba Jakobo? (b) Ncinzi ncaakali kupandulula?

⁷ Kwiinda mukusololelwa a Magwalo aali boobu alimwi abumboni mbwaakamvwa, Jakobo wakapa muzeezo wakuti: “Aboobo kuyeeya kwangu nkwakuti tutabakatazyi bamasi aabo basandukila kuli Leza, pele atubalembele kuti batantamuke zintu zisofwaazyidwe amituni, bwaamu, zintu zisinidwe alimwi abulowa. Nkaambo kuzwa kaindi bantu bali kukambauka kujatikizya Musa mumunzi amunzi, alimwi mabbuku aakwe alabalwa cakupozya muzikombelo sabata imwi aimwi.”—Mil. 15:19-21.

⁸ Ciindi Jakobo naakaamba kuti “kuyeeya kwangu nkwakuti,” sena wakali kukosola makani ambweni akaambo kakuti nguwakali sicuuno amuswaangano naa kutondezya nguzu nzyaakajisi kubakwesu bambi ibakaliko? Peepe! Ibbala lyamu Chigiriki lyakabelesyegwa kuti “kuyeeya kwangu” lilakonzya alimwi kwaamba kuti “ndiyeeya kuti” naa “muzeezo wangu ngwakuti.” Jakobo kunyina naakali kukosola makani alikke pe, pele wakali kwaamba buyo mbwaakali kuyeeya kweelana abumboni mbwaakamvwa alimwi ancaakali kwaamba Magwalo kujatikizya makani ngobakali kubandika.

9. Mbubotu nzi bwakazwa mumajwi ngaakaamba Jakobo?

⁹ Ino majwi ngaakaamba Jakobo akali buti? Kweelede kuti akali kabotu, kayi baapostolo abaalu kumbele bakaabelesya. Ino bakagwasyigwa buti? Munzila imwi, muzeezo wakapegwa ‘tiiwakabakatazya’ Banakristo Bamasi, tiiwakabasinikizya kutobela ncowakali kwaamba Mulawo wa Musa. (Mil. 15:19) Kunze lyaboobo, kusala ikwakacitwa kwakatondezya kuti balaalemeka manjezyeezya aaba Juda Banakristo, balo kwamyaka minji ibakali kulimvwida cantongola matwi ‘mabbuku aa Musa kaabalwa cakupozya muzikombelo sabata imwi aimwi.’b (Mil. 15:21) Kakunyina kudooneka, nzila yakasalwa yakali kuyoopa kuti kube lukamantano akati kaba Juda alimwi a Banakristo Bamasi. Kwiinda zyoonse, cakali kuyoomukkomanisya Jehova Leza, mbwaanga kusala kwakali kweendelana amakanze aakwe. Eelo kaka yakali nzila mbotu yakumana mapenzi aakonzya kunyonganya lukamantano abukkale bwambungano yoonse yabantu ba Leza! Alimwi ncikozyanyo cibotu kaka kumbungano ya Banakristo ibamazuba aano!

10. Mbuti Kabunga Keendelezya kamazuba aano mbokatobela cikozyanyo cakabunga keendelezya kamumwaanda wamyaka wakusaanguna?

¹⁰ Kweelana ambotwakabandika mucibalo cainda, mbubwenya mbuli kabunga keendelezya kamumwaanda wamyaka wakusaanguna, bamu Kabunga Keendelezya ka Bakamboni ba Jehova mazuba aano balanga kuli Jehova, Mwami wakujulu aansi, alimwi a Jesu Kristo, Silutwe wambungano kujatikizya busolozi boonse buyandika.c (1 Kor. 11:3) Ino eeci cicitwa buti? Mukwesu Albert D. Schroeder, iwakabeleka mu Kabunga Keendelezya kuzwa mu 1974 kusikila naakamanizya mulimo wakwe waanyika mu March 2006, wakaamba kuti: “Bamu Kabunga Keendelezya inga balaswaangana muli Bwatatu, muswaangano wabo ulajalulwa amupailo ikulomba busolozi bwamuuya wa Jehova. Balasolekesya kubona kuti kaambo kali koonse kalanganizyigwa kweelana a Jwi lya Leza Bbaibbele.” Mbubwenya buyo, mukwesu Milton G. Henschel, iwakabeleka kwaciindi cilamfwu mu Kabunga Keendelezya akumanizya mulimo wakwe anyika mu March 2003, wakabuzya basikumanizya cikolo ca Watchtower Bible School of Gilead kkilasi yanamba 101 kuti, “Mwati kuli mbunga iili yoonse aano anyika iijisi Kabunga Keendelezya ikasaanguna kulanga-langa Jwi lya Leza kakatanasala cakucita mumakani aayandika?” Bwiinguzi bulizyibidwe.

“Kutuma Baalumi Basalidwe” (Milimo 15:22-29)

11. Ino kusala kwakabunga keendelezya kwakatumwa buti mumbungano?

¹¹ Kabunga keendelezya mu Jerusalemu kakasala cakucita mumakani aajatikizya kupalulwa. Kutegwa bakwesu mumbungano bazumanane kukamantana, mbungano zyakeelede kuzyibisyigwa kujatikizya kusala ikwakacitwa munzila iilimvwisya alimwi iikulwaizya. Ino eeci cakali kuyoocitwa buti? Cibalo caamba kuti: “Baapostolo abaalu antoomwe ambungano yoonse bakasala kutuma baalumi basalidwe akati kabo kuunka ku Antiokeya antoomwe a Paulo a Barnaba; bakatuma Judasi ooyo iwakali kwiitwa kuti Barsaba antoomwe a Sila, baalumi ibakali kusololela akati kabakwesu.” Kuyungizya waawo, lugwalo lwakalembwa akutumikizyigwa antoomwe abakwesu aaba kutegwa lukaakubalwe mumbungano zyoonse mu Antiokeya, Siriya, alimwi a Kilikiya.—Mil. 15:22-26.

12, 13. Mbubotu nzi bwakajanwa kwiinda mukutuma (a) Judasi a Sila? (b) lugwalo luzwa kukabunga keendelezya?

¹² Mbuli “baalumi ibakali kusololela akati kabakwesu,” Judasi a Sila mbabakali kweelela kapati kubeleka kabali baiminizi bakabunga keendelezya. Kwiinda mukutuma baalumi bone, cakalisalede kuti mulumbe ngobakaleta, tiibwakali buyo bwiinguzi, pele kwakali kusala kupya kwakabunga keendelezya. Kubabona cacigaminina “baalumi basalidwe” aaba kwakali kuyooyumya cilongwe cakali akati kaba Juda Banakristo mu Jerusalemu alimwi a Banakristo Bamasi ibakali mumasena aambi. Eelo kaka oobu bwakali bubambe bwaluyando cini-cini! Cakutadooneka bwakakulwaizya luumuno akumvwana akati kabantu ba Leza.

¹³ Lugwalo lwakajisi malailile aasalede kuli Banakristo Bamasi ikutali buyo kujatikizya makani aakupalulwa, pele ancobakeelede kucita kutegwa Jehova abafwide luzyalo akubalongezya. Cibeela ciyandika kapati calugwalo cakali kwaamba kuti: “Muuya uusalala alimwi andiswe twasala kutamuyungizizya mukuli aumbi, ccita buyo zintu eezyi ziyandika: kuti muzumanane kutantamuka zintu zituulwa kumituni, bulowa, zintu zisinidwe alimwi abwaamu. Ikuti mwazumanana kuzitantamuka zintu eezyi cakulomya, zinoomweendela kabotu zintu. Kamupona kabotu!”—Mil. 15:28, 29.

14. Ncinzi cipa kuti bantu ba Jehova kabacikonzya kubeleka calukamantano munyika iizwide lwaandaano?

¹⁴ Mazuba aano, Bakamboni ba Jehova bainda ku 8,000,000 balikamantene nyika yoonse mumbungano ziinda ku 100,000 alimwi basyoma zintu zikozyenye. Ino bacikonzya buti kukamantana kakuli munyika mazuba aano kuvwulide manyongwe alimwi akwaandaana? Mubwini, lukamantano luzwa kubusolozi bulimvwisya mbwapa Jesu Kristo, Silutwe wambungano kwiinda ‘mumuzike uusyomeka alimwi uucenjede,’ nkokuti Kabunga Keendelezya. (Mt. 24:45-47) Kuyungizya waawo, lukamantano oolu, lulaba akaambo kakuti bakwesu abacizyi munyika yoonse balilyaabide kutobela busolozi buzwa ku Kabunga Keendelezya.

“Bakakondwa Kujatikizya Makani Aayo Aakukulwaizya” (Milimo 15:30-35)

15, 16. Ncinzi cakacitika akaambo kamakani aakupalulwa, alimwi ntwaambo nzi twakapa kuti zintu zicitike boobu?

¹⁵ Cibalo camubbuku lya Milimo cilazumanana kwaamba kuti ciindi bakwesu ibakatumwa kuzwa ku Jerusalemu nobakasika ku Antiokeya, “bakabunganya nkamu yoonse yabantu akubapa lugwalo oolu.” Ino bakwesu bakabutambula buti busolozi bwakazwa kukabunga keendelezya? “Nobakamana kulubala, bakakondwa kujatikizya makani aayo aakukulwaizya ooko.” (Mil. 15:30, 31) Kuyungizya waawo, Judasi a Sila “bakaamba makani manji aakukulwaizya bakwesu akubayumya.” Mubwini, aaba baalumi bobilo bakali “basinsimi,” mbubwenya bwakali Barnaba, Paulo, alimwi abamwi ibakali kwiitwa kuti basinsimi, ibbala lyaamba baabo ibakali kwaambilizya naa ikuzyibya kuyanda kwa Leza.—Mil. 13:1; 15:32; Kul. 7:1, 2.

¹⁶ Cilalibonya kuti Jehova wakabulongezya bubambe boonse oobu, akupa kuti makani akosolwe munzila mbotu. Ncinzi cakapa kuti makani akosolwe munzila mbotu boobu? Tacidoonekwi buya kuti, mbusolozi bulimvwisya ibwakapegwa aciindi ceelede abamukabunga keendelezya kweelana ancolyaamba Jwi lya Leza alimwi akusololelwa amuuya uusalala. Kuyungizya waawo, ayalo nzila yaluyando alimwi iitondezya kubikkila maano iyakabelesyegwa kuzyibya mbungano kujatikizya kusala ooko, yakagwasya.

17. Ino zyakatalisyigwa buti nzila zimwi zibelesyegwa abalangizi bamabazu mazuba aano?

¹⁷ Kutobela bubambe oobu, bamu Kabunga Keendelezya ka Bakamboni ba Jehova mazuba aano, balapa busolozi muciindi ceelede kuciinga cabakwesu munyika yoonse. Ciindi nokusalwa zyakucita, kusala ooko kulatumwa mumbungano munzila iilimvwisya alimwi yacigaminina. Nzila imwi nkwiinda mubalangizi bamabazu. Aaba bakwesu ibalyaabide baleenda kuzwa kumbungano imwi kuya kuliimbi, kabayaabupa malailile aalimvwisya alimwi aakulwaizya. Mbubwenya mbuli Paulo a Barnaba, balabelesya ciindi cinji mubukambausi, “kabayiisya akwaambilizya makani mabotu aa Jehova, antoomwe abamwi banji.” (Mil. 15:35) Mbuli Judasi a Sila, ‘balaamba makani manji aakukulwaizya bakwesu akubayumya.’

18. Mbuti bantu ba Leza mbobakonzya kuzumanana kulongezyegwa a Jehova?

¹⁸ Mbuti kujatikizya mbungano? Ncinzi ciyoopa kuti mumbungano zyamazuba aano kuzumanane kuba luumuno alukamantano munyika eeyi iitakamantene? Amuyeeye kuti sikwiiya Jakobo nguwakalemba kuti: “Busongo buzwa kujulu ikusaanguna bulasalala, mpoonya buleta luumuno, bulanyoneka, bulilibambilide kumvwida, . . . Kunze lyaboobo, mucelo wabululami ulasyangwa muluumuno akati kabaabo baleta luumuno.” (Jak. 3:17, 18) Kufwumbwa naa Jakobo wakali kuyeeya izyakacitika amuswaangano mu Jerusalemu naa pe, bwini mbwakuti tatuzyi. Pele kwiinda mukulanga-langa zintu izyakacitika zili ku Milimo caandaano 15, citondezya kuti lilikke nokuli lukamantano alimwi akubelekela antoomwe ndendilyo Jehova nakonzya kulongezya.

19, 20. (a) Mbumboni nzi butondezya kuti kwakali luumuno alukamantano mumbungano yaku Antiokeya? (b) Ncinzi ncobakali kukonzya kucita ba Paulo a Barnaba?

¹⁹ Luumuno alimwi alukamantano ilwakali mumbungano yaku Antiokeya lino lwakali kulibonya. Muciindi cakulwana abakwesu bakazwa ku Jerusalemu, ibakwesu bamu Antiokeya bakalumba kapati kuswaigwa a Judasi alimwi a Sila, cibalo caamba kuti: “Nobakakkala kwaciindi cili mbocibede, bakwesu bakalayana ambabo kuti bapiluke muluumuno kuli baabo bakabatumide” nkokuti ku Jerusalemu.d (Mil. 15:33) Tuli masimpe kuti abalo bakwesu bamu Jerusalemu bakakkomana kumvwa nzyobakaamba bakwesu kujatikizya lweendo lwabo. Eelo kaka tulamulumba Jehova kuluzyalo lwakwe lutamani, akuti makanze aabo akazuzikizyigwa!

²⁰ Paulo a Barnaba, balo ibakacaala mu Antiokeya, lino bakali kukonzya kubikkila maano kusololela mulimo wakukambauka, mbubwenya balangizi bamabazu mbobacita ciindi nobaswaya mbungano zili mubbazu lyabo. (Mil. 13:2, 3) Eelo kaka eeci cakali cilongezyo kubantu ba Jehova! Aboobo, mbuti Jehova mbwaakabalongezya basikumwaya aaba basungu? Eeci tuyoocilanga-langa mucibalo citobela.
