Ngeenge owa tila, ile owa mbadapala, eshi pa holoka omhito yokuudifila vamwe onghundana iwa, dimbuluka Ohamba yetu. I faneka tai pangele meulu ya dingililwa kovaengeli omamiliyona.

‘KALENI MU NA OHOLE YOMOULE’
9. Ongahelipi Petrus a li a dopa okuulika ohole pomhito imwe? (Tala yo efano.)
9 Petrus okwe lihonga nghee e na okuulika ohole. Opo a li, eshi Jesus a ti: “Ohandi mu pe oshipango shipe kutya kaleni mu holafane, ndele kaleni mu holafane ngaashi ame nda kala ndi mu hole.” (Joh. 13:34) Kakele kaasho, Petrus lwanima okwe ke liyandja kefininiko nokwa li a anya okulya pamwe novamwatate novamwameme vomoiwana imwe. Omuyapostoli Paulus okwa li a popya osho Petrus a ninga kutya okwe “liningifa,” ile oku na oihelele. (Gal. 2:11-14) Petrus okwa li a tambula ko epukululo olo nokwe lihonga kulo. Meenhumwafo daye adishe, okwa divilika kutya katu na ashike okukala tu udite tu hole ovamwatate novamwameme, ndele otu na yo okuulika ohole ya tya ngaho.
10. Oshike tashi tu kwafele tu ulike “ohole youmwainafana ihe na oihelele”? (1 Petrus 1:22)
10 Petrus okwa popya kutya otu na okukala ‘tu na ohole youmwainafana ihe na oihelele’ yokuhola ovaitaveli vakwetu. (Lesha 1 Petrus 1:22.) Ohole ya tya ngaho ohai etifwa kokudulika “kehongo loshili,” olo la kwatela mo ehongo olo kutya “Kalunga ke na okatongo.” (Oil. 10:34, 35) Itatu dulu okudulika koshipango shaJesus shi na sha nohole, ngeenge otu hole ashike vamwe meongalo, ndele katu hole ovanhu aveshe. Otashi dulika tu kale tu na ekwatafano lopofingo navamwe, ngaashi Jesus a li a ninga. (Joh. 13:23; 20:2) Ashike Petrus okwe tu dimbulukifa kutya otu na okukendabala okukala tu na “ohole youmwainafana,” tu hole ovamwatate novamwameme aveshe. — 1 Pet. 2:17.
11. Oshike sha kwatelwa mokukala tu hole vamwe “tashi di komutima”?

Pashihopaenenwa, ongahelipi ngeenge omumwatate okwe tu udifa nai, ile e tu ehameka monghedi yonhumba, ile yongadi? Potete otashi dulika tu kale twa hala okuungaunga naye monghedi omo a ungaunga nafye, ponhele yoku mu ulikila ohole. Ashike Petrus okwe lihonga kuJesus kutya elihumbato la tya ngaho ihali hafifa Kalunga. (Joh. 18:10, 11) Petrus okwa shanga, a ti: “Inamu lishunifila owii ile omatukano. Ndele ponhele yaasho, nangekeni noupuna vakweni.” (1 Pet. 3:9) Ngeenge oho ulike ohole tai di komutima oto ka kala omunalukeno noto ka kala u na ko nasha nokuli naavo ve ku udifa nai.
12. (a) Ohole tai di komutima otai ke tu linyengifa tu ninge vali shike? (b) Oshike wa hala okukendabala okuninga, ngaashi sha ulikwa mokavidio Kala wa lenga oufembanghenda wokukala twa hangana?
12 Monhumwafo yaye yotete, Petrus okwa longifa outumbulilo wa yukila oko ‘ohole yomoule.’ Ohole ya tya ngaho ohai tuvikile, hamatimba ashike manini, ndele “onduba yomatimba.” (1 Pet. 4:8) Petrus otashi dulika a li ta dimbuluka oshilihongomwa shokudimina po osho Jesus a li e mu honga omido da tetekela. Pefimbo opo, Petrus otashi dulika a li ta diladila kutya omunalukeno, eshi a li a popya kutya ota ka dimina po omumwaxe ‘lwoikando iheyali.’ Ashike Jesus okwe mu honga, nafye twa kwatelwa mo, okudimina po vamwe ‘lwo-77,’ sha hala kutya, pehe na ongaba. (Mat. 18:21, 22) Ngeenge oho mono shidjuu okutula moilonga omayele oo, ino teka omukumo. Ovapiya aveshe vaJehova inava wanenena ohava mono shidjuu okudimina po. Ashike oshinima sha fimana osho to dulu okuninga paife, okukatuka eenghatu da pumbiwa u dimine po omumwaxo nokupanga ombili naye. c

Ashike otashi dulu okukala eshongo komukulunhuongalo okukonga efimbo a wanife po oshinakuwanifwa osho sha fimana. Ovakulunhuongalo ove na okufila tete oshisho omaukwaneumbo avo palutu, pamaliudo nopamhepo.

Ovakulunhuongalo ove li ovalumenhu ve lipyakidila neenghono shili.
14. Oshike tashi dulu okulinyengifa ovakulunhuongalo va life oufita? (1 Petrus 5:1-4)
14 Petrus okwa ladipika ovakulunhuongalo vakwao, a ti: “Lifeni oufita waKalunga.” (Lesha 1 Petrus 5:1-4.) Ngeenge ou li omukulunhuongalo, otu shii kutya ou hole ovamwatate novamwameme nowa hala oku va lifa. Ashike omafimbo amwe otashi dulika u kale u udite we lipyakidila, ile wa loloka unene noito dulu okuwanifa po oshinakuwanifwa osho. Oshike to dulu okuninga po? Mbubulila Jehova oisho yoye.

Ashike dimbuluka kutya “omufita munene,” Jesus Kristus, ota dulu oku va kwafela e dule keshe umwe. Ota dulu okuninga ngaho paife nosho yo mounyuni mupe. Kalunga okwa teelela ovakulunhuongalo va kale ve hole ovamwaxe, ve va life nokukala ve li “oshihopaenenwa koufita.”
15. Ongahelipi omukulunhuongalo umwe a lifa oufita? (Tala yo efano.)

Eshi omukifi wekomba wo-COVID-19 wa tukuka, ye novakulunhuongalo vakwao ova li ve litulila po efimbo, opo va kwatafane oshivike keshe nomuudifi keshe pauhandimwe she likolelela keengudu davo doilonga yomomapya. Okwa yelifa kutya omolwashike, a ti: “Ovamwatate vahapu ova li hava di meumbo ovo aveke nova li tava dulu okukwatwa keamo lokudiladila koinima ii.” Ngeenge omumwatate, ile omumwameme e na oupyakadi, William oha pwilikine noukeka, opo a mone kutya otave lipula nashike nova pumbwa shike. Opo nee oha kendabala okukonga oishangomwa yokondadalunde, ile ouvidio ko-website yetu, oyo ta dulu okulongifa, opo a dule okutwa omukumo omumwatate, ile omumwameme. Okwa ti: “Okufila oshisho oufita okwa pumbiwa paife shi dulife nale. Ohatu ningi eenghendabala da mana mo tu kwafele ovanhu ve lihonge kombinga Jehova. Otwa pumbwa okuninga eenghendabala da faafana tu life oufita nokukwafela eedi daJehova di kale moshili.”
