Aciindi cimwi musyule, wakaambila basikwiiya bakwe kuti: “Amuwaale meso aanu mubone myuunda, nkaambo yayuma kale kuti itebulwe.” (Joh. 4:35-38) Jesu wakali kuyeeya kuyobololwa kwabantu banji ibabombe myoyo ibakali kuyooba basikwiiya bakwe. Mbubwenya mbuli mulimi mubotu, Jesu kunyina naakausiya buyo muunda iwakeelede kutebulwa kakunyina kuulanganya. Aboobo, nokwakainda ciindi cisyoonto buyo kuzwa ciindi naakabuka alimwi katanaunka kujulu, wakapa basikwiiya bakwe mulimo ooyu mupati naakati: “Aboobo kamuya mukayiisye bantu.” (Mt. 28:18-20) Aboobo, Jesu wakabapa cintu ciyandisi, nkokuti mulimo wa Bunakristo.—2Kor. 4:7.

Busungu bwabo mumulimo wakukambauka alimwi akuyiisya bantu kuti babe basikwiiya ulilembedwe kabotu mubbuku lyamu Bbaibbele lya Milimo.d—Mil. 6:7; 12:24; 19:20.
KUBELESYA MATALENTA MUMAKWEBO MUCIINDI CAMAMANINO
9. (a) Ncinzi bazike basyomeka bobilo ncobakacita amatalenta ngobakapegwa, alimwi eeci citondezya nzi? (b) Ino ‘bambelele zimbi’ bajisi mukuli nzi?

Mbubwenya mbuli bazike bobilo bakusaanguna, ibananike bakwesu abacizyi babeleka kusikila aagolela nguzu zyabo kubelesya zintu nzyobajisi. Taciyandiki kutalika kuzumbauzya kujatikizya iwakatambula matalenta aali musanu alimwi ayooyo iwakatambula matalenta obilo. Mucikozyanyo eeci, muzike wakajisi osanwe wakayungizya aambi osanwe, mpoonya iwakajisi obilo wakayungizya aambi obilo, aboobo boonse buyo bakali basungu. Ino aabo bajisi bulangizi bwaanyika bajisi mukuli nzi? Bajisi mukuli uuyandika kapati! Cikozyanyo ca Jesu cambelele ampongo cituyiisya kuti aabo ibajisi bulangizi bwaanyika balijisi coolwe cakubagwasyilizya cakusyomeka banabokwabo Jesu bananike mumulimo wakukambauka akuyiisya bantu. Mumazuba aaya aamamanino aakatazya, nkamu eezyi zyobilo zibelekela antoomwe kazili “tanga lyomwe” mukubeleka cabusungu mulimo wakuyiisya bantu kuti babe basikwiiya.—Joh. 10:16.

Kristo wapa babelesi bakwe mukuli mubotu kapati wakukambauka (Amubone muncali 10)
NDILILI SIMALELO NAYOOBOOLA KULINGULA?
11. Ncinzi citupa kwaamba kuti Jesu uyoolingula kuciindi camapenzi mapati?
11 Jesu uyooboola kubalingula bazike bakwe afwaafwi amamanino aamapenzi mapati aali kumbele. Ncinzi citupa kwaamba boobu? Mubusinsimi bwakwe bulembedwe kuli Matayo caandaano 24 alimwi a 25, Jesu cakwiinduluka-induluka wakaamba zyakuboola kwakwe. Kaamba zyalubeta kuciindi camapenzi mapati, wakaamba kuti bantu “bayoobona Mwanaamuntu kaboola mumakumbi aakujulu.” Wakakulwaizya basikumutobela bakwe ibapona mumazuba aamamanino kuti kabalangila, wakati: “Tamuzyi buzuba Mwami wanu nayooboola” alimwi akuti “Mwanaamuntu ulaboola aciindi ncomutayeeyeli.” (Mt. 24:30, 42, 44) Aboobo ciindi Jesu naakaamba kuti “simalelaabo bazike aabo wakaboola akubalingula,” kulibonya kuti wakali kwaamba ciindi nayooboola kubeteka kumamanino aabweende bwazintu oobu.e—Mt. 25:19.
12, 13. (a) Ino simalelo wabaingula buti bazike bakusaanguna bobilo, alimwi nkaambo nzi? (b) Ndilili bananike nobatambula ciganto camamanino? (Amubone kabbokesi kakuti “Kulyaambilila Ciindi Calufwu.”) (c) Ino mbulumbu nzi aabo ibali kulubazu lwambelele mbobayootambula?
12 Kweelana ambokwaambidwe mucikozyanyo, ciindi simalelo naaboola, wajana kuti bazike bakusaanguna bobilo—ooyo wakapegwa matalenta osanwe ayooyo wakapegwa obilo—basyomeka, iwakapegwa osanwe wakayungizya aambi osanwe, iwakapegwa obilo wakayungizya aambi obilo. Simalelo waamba majwi aakozyenye kubazike aaba bobilo aakuti: “Wacita kabotu, omuzike mubotu alimwi uusyomeka! Wakasyomeka muzintu zisyoonto. Ndiyookusala kuti kolanganya zintu zinji.” (Mt. 25:21, 23) Aboobo, ncinzi ncotukonzya kulangila ciindi Simalelo, nkokuti Jesu mubulemu bwakwe, aakuboola kubeteka kumbele?
13 Aabo ibaimininwa abazike bakusaanguna bobilo—basikwiiya bakwe bananike ibankutwe—banooli bakatambula kale ciganto camamanino mapenzi mapati kaatanatalika. (Ciy. 7:1-3) Kaitanatalika Amagedoni, Jesu uyoobapa bulumbu bwabo bwakujulu mbobakasyomezyegwa. Aabo ibajisi bulangizi bwaanyika ibakagwasyilizya banabokwabo Kristo mumulimo wakukambauka banooli babikkwa kale kulubazu lwambelele alimwi bayoopegwa coolwe cakupona munyika mubweendelezi bwa Bwami.—Mt. 25:34.
MUZIKE MUBI ALIMWI MUTOLO
14, 15. Sena Jesu wakali kutondezya kuti mweelwe mupati wabanabokwabo bananike bayooba babi alimwi batolo? Amupandulule.

Muzike ooyo wakatondezya muuya mubi, nkaambo acaali wakacita cintu citeendelani amakanze aasimalelaakwe. Cakweelela simalelo wakamwaamba kuti “mubi alimwi mutolo.” Simalelo wakamunyanga talenta akulipa kuli yooyo iwakajisi aali kkumi. Mpoonya muzike mubi wakawaalwa “anze mumudima.” Ooko nkonkuko “nkwayoolilila akulumina ntwino.”—Mt. 25:24-30; Lk. 19:22, 23.
15 Omwe akati kabazike botatwe basimalelo wakasisa talenta lyakwe, aboobo sena aawa Jesu wakali kutondezya kuti cibeela catatu cabasikumutobela bakwe bananike bayooba bantu babi alimwi ibatolo? Peepe. Amulange-lange makani aazingulukide kaambo aaka. Mucikozyanyo camuzike uusyomeka alimwi uucenjede, Jesu wakaamba zyamuzike mubi iwakauma bazikenyina. Jesu tanaakali kusinsima kuti kuyoobuka ciinga camuzike mubi. Muciindi caboobo, wakali kucenjezya muzike uusyomeka kutaba abube bwamuzike mubi. Mbubwenya buyo, mucikozyanyo cabanakalindu bali kkumi, Jesu tanaakali kutondezya kuti cisela cabasikumutobela bananike bayooba mbuli banakalindu bafwubafwuba bosanwe. Muciindi caboobo, wakali kucenjezya banabokwabo bakumuuya kujatikizya ciyoobacitikila ikuti naa bacileka kulangila alimwi akuba bantu batalibambilide.f Mumakani aaya, cileelela kwaamba kuti mucikozyanyo camatalenta, Jesu tanaakali kwaamba kuti mweelwe mupati wabanabokwabo bananike mumazuba aamamanino bayooba babi alimwi batolo. Muciindi caboobo, Jesu wakali kucenjezya basikumutobela bananike kuti bazumanane kuba basungu ‘mukwaabelesya mumakwebo’ matalenta aabo alimwi akweeleba bube amicito yamuzike mubi.—Mt. 25:16.
16. (a) Nziiyo nzi nzyotwiiya kucikozyanyo camatalenta? (b) Mbuti cibalo eeci mbocasalazya kumvwisya kwesu kujatikizya cikozyanyo camatalenta? (Amubone kabbokesi kakuti “Kumvwisya Cikozyanyo Camatalenta.”)
16 Nziiyo nzi zyobilo nzyotwiiya kucikozyanyo camatalenta? Cakusaanguna, Simalelo, Kristo wapa bazike bakwe ibananike cimwi cintu ncabona kuti cilayandika kapati—mulimo wakukambauka akuyiisya bantu kuti babe basikwiiya.
