Mibuzyo Yamu Magwalo Iingulwa:

2:6, 7, 21, 22—Ino nguni naa ncinzi cipa kuti kube kuzungaana alimwi ncinzi cicitika? Jehova ‘nguuzungaanya zisi zyoonse’ kwiinda mumulimo wakukambauka mulumbe wa Bwami uucitwa nyika yoonse. Imulimo wabukambausi alimwi upa “kuti zintu ziyandisi zyazisi zyoonse ziboole” muŋanda ya Jehova akwiizuzya bulemu. “Jehova wamakamu” uyakuzugaanya “ijulu anyika alwizi ansi injumu” kutegwa akagusye bukkale bubyaabi boonse buliko mazuba aano.—Hebrayo 12:26, 27.

Eeci cakali kuyoocitika munzila zyotatwe: Imyaka njiyakali kunoobako itempele, iwakali kunooyiisya alimwi abaabo bayakuunka kwaakukomba Jehova. Nokuba kuti bulemu bwatempele lya Solomoni bwakaliko kwamyaka iili 420 kuzwa mu 1027 B.C.E. kusika mu 607 B.C.E., ‘iŋanda yakacaalizya’ yakabelesegwa kwamyaka yiinda ku 580 kuzwa niyakamana kuyakwa mumwaka wa 515 B.C.E. kusika mu 70 C.E. niyakanyonyoonwa. Kunze lyaboobo, Mesiya—Jesu Kristo—wakayiisya ‘muŋanda yakacaalizya’ alimwi bantu banji bakajanika kwiinda bakajanika ‘muŋanda yakutaanguna’ kutegwa bakombe Leza.—Incito 2:1-11.

Ziiyo Kulindiswe:

‘TEENSI INGUZU, NGU-MUUYA WANGU’

(Zekariya 1:1–14:21)

Zekariya naakatalika businsimi bwakwe wakataanguna kutamba bama Juda kuti bapilukile kuli Jehova. (Zekariya 1:3) Zilengaano zili lusele zitondezya mbuli Leza mbwagwasilizya mulimo wakuyakulula tempele. (Amubone kabbokesi kakuti “Zilengaano zya Zekariya Zili Lusele.”) Mulimo wakuyakulula uyakumanizigwa kutali akaambo ka ‘nguzu naa bukozu, pele akaambo kamuuya wa Jehova.’ (Zekariya 4:6) Muntu wazina lya Lusyuuko “uyooyaka intempele ya-Jehova” alimwi “uyooba mupaizi.”—Zekariya 6:12, 13.

Bantu baku Beteli batuma kabunga kabantu kuti bakabuzye bapaizi makani aapobwe lya kuliimya kulya lyakali kucitwa ciindi Jerusalemu naakanyonyoonwa. Jehova waambila Zekariya kuti ikulila kwakali kucitwa ciindi nibakali kuliimya kulya ziindi zyone akaambo kakuyeeya mapenzi aakali mu Jerusalemu kuya kucincwa kuba “ziindi zyakukondwa akusekelela amapobwe mabotu.” (Zekariya 7:2; 8:19) Imilumbe yobilo yakaccilila yakabikkilizya kubetekwa kwabamasi abasinsimi bakubeja, businsimi bwakali kwaamba Mesiya amulumbe wakupilusigwa kwabantu ba Leza.—Zekariya 9:1; 12:1.

abe sicamba mukwaambilizya mulumbe wa Jehova kubantu batayoowi Leza. (Juda 14, 15) Cakutadooneka, Nowa uyootwaambila mbocakabede ikuyaka bwato. Abrahamu a Sara bayootwaambila mbobakalimvwa nobakaambilwa kusiya munzi mubotu wa Uri akukkala mumatente. Amuyeeye Esita kaamba mbwaakabweza ntaamu yakukwabilila bantu bakwe akupa kuti makanze aa Hamani atazwidilili. (Esita 7:1-6) Amweezeezye kuti mulimumvwide Jona kaamba zyakamucitikila mumazuba otatwe naakali mwida lya muswi naa Johane Mubbapatizi kaamba mbwaakalimvwa naakabbapatizya Jesu. (Luka 3:21, 22; 7:28) Masimpe, tuya kwiiya makani manji aakondelezya.

²² Mu Bulelo bwa Kristo Bwamyaka Iili Cuulu, ambweni muyooba acoolwe cakugwasya baabo bayakubusigwa ikuba ‘aluzibo lwa Leza.’ (Tusimpi 2:1-6) Mazuba aano, cilakkomanisya kapati ikubona bantu baiya akuziba Jehova Leza alimwi ibabelesya luzibo oolo! Pele, amuyeeye buyo mbomuyookkomana ciindi Jehova nayoolongezya kusoleka kwanu mukuyiisya bantu bansiku babombe myoyo!

23. Makanze nzi ngotweelede kuba angawo?

²³ Impindu nzyotujana lino mbotuli bantu ba Jehova nzinji kapati, tazibaliki. (Intembauzyo 40:5) Icipati ncotulumba kapati nzyaabilo zyakumuuya nzyatupa Leza mbuli Bbaibbele, mabbuku, miswaangano, muuya uusalala, kugwasigwa abangelo, azimwi zyataambwa waawa. (Isaya 48:17, 18) Kufwumbwa naa tuli mubukkale buli buti, atucite mulimo uusetekene camoyo woonse mbotulindila buzuba bupati bwa Jehova.
