Aron ota faneke Jesus Kristus ofimbo ovanamati vaye tava faneke ovashikuli vaJesus ovavaekwa. Ndele mbela okulikosha kwaAron okwa li taku faneke okuliyelifa kwaJesus? Ahowe, Jesus ka li a pumbwa okuliyelifa molwaashi ka li e na etimba noka li e “na nande oshipo.” (Heb. 7:26; 9:14) Ashike okulikosha kwaAron okwa li taku ulike kutya Jesus okwa koshoka nomuyuki.

⁶ Oshiteelelwa osho kutya ovapristeri vomuIsrael ova li ve na okukala va koshoka palutu oshi na eityo lolela koshiwana shaJehova kunena. Ovo hatu konakona Ombibeli navo luhapu ohave shi didilike mo kutya eenhele detu delongelokalunga oda koshoka nosho yo kutya otwa koshoka nohatu djala nawa.

Oilonga iyapuki oyo hatu longele Kalunga oi na okulongwa nomadiladilo nomitima da yela nosho yo nomalutu a yela. Osho otashi pula okukala hatu likonakona fye vene lwoikando, nokonima yaasho vamwe otashi dulika va pumbwa okuninga omalunduluko manene opo va dule okukala ovayapuki. (2 Kor. 13:5) Pashihopaenenwa, omunhu a ninginifwa oo ha tale owina omafano oipala oku na okulipula kutya, ‘Ohandi ulike ngoo kutya ondi muyapuki?’ Opo nee na konge ekwafo opo a xulife po onghedindjikilile oyo inai koshoka. — Jak. 5:14.

(Lesha Leviticus 8:22-24.) Okulongifa ohonde monghedi oyo  okwa li taku ulike kutya ovapristeri ove na okuwanifa po neduliko oinakuwanifwa yavo ngaashi tava dulu. Sha faafana, Omupristeri Omukulunhu Jesus okwa tulila po ovavaekwa needi dimwe oshihopaenenwa sha wanenena. Okutwi kwaye okwa li haku pwilikine kewiliko laKalunga. Jesus okwa longifa eenyala daye mokuwanifa po ehalo laJehova neemhadi daye inadi yapuka mo mondjila iyapuki. — Joh. 4:31-34.

(Ef. 4:30) Ove na yo ‘okuyukifa omalila eemhadi davo.’ — Heb. 12:13.

Olo ola li eduliko tali di komutima.” Omumwatate omutitatu okwa ti: “Ngeenge ou hole osho Jehova e hole nokutonda osho e tonde, okukala ho kongo ewiliko laye nokulonga osho tashi mu wapalele, kungaho oto dulika kehangano laye nokwaavo ta longifa opo a wanife po elalakano laye kombada yedu.” Omumwatate oo okwa li a uda kutya Nathan Knorr, oo a ka ninga oshilyo shOlutuwiliki, okwa li a tambula ko nehalo liwa oinima oyo vamwe va li tava pataneke oyo ya li ya yelifwa mOshungonangelo yOshiingilisha yomo 1925, moshitukulwa shi na oshipalanyole, “Okudalwa kwoshiwana.” Eduliko la tya ngaho ola li la kuma neenghono omumwatate oo. Okudilonga keendjovo dovamwatate vatatu ovo twa dja nokupopya otaku ku kwafele u ulike kutya ou muyapuki mokukala ho dulika.

10. Osha fimana shi fike peni okudulika komhango yaKalunga i na sha nohonde?

Okulidilika ohonde, kutya nee oyoshinamwenyo ile oyomunhu, oku li yo oshiteelelwa shopaKriste. (Oil. 15:28, 29) Otu na okukala twa tila Kalunga e tu ‘taalelife oshipala shaye nehandu’ noku tu dima mo meongalo laye. Otu mu hole notwa hala okudulika kuye. Nokuli nonande otwe lihange monghalo tai pula efyo ile omwenyo, natu kale twa tokola toko tuhe liyandje kwaasho ovo vehe shii Jehova nokave na ko nasha nokudulika kuye va hala tu ninge. Oshoshili kutya otwa teelela okushekwa omolwokulidilika ohonde, ashike otwa hoolola okudulika kuKalunga. (Jud. 17, 18) Etaleko lilipi li na sha noshikundafanwa eshi tali ke tu kwafela tu kale twa “pama” tuha lye ohonde ile tuha dimine tu i tulwe? — Deut. 12:23.

11. Omolwashike hatu dulu okutya Efiku lEkwatakanifo lokomudo kala li ashike onghedindjikilile yongaho?

Ohonde oya li hai longifwa omolwelalakano le  likalekelwa. Oya li hai longifwa okuninga ekwatakanifo omolwomatimba aavo va hala Jehova e va dimine po. Ohonde yomhedi noyoshikombo oya li i na okushaminwa koshituviko shoshikefa shehangano nokomesho yasho. (Lev. 16:14, 15, 19) Nokungaho, Jehova okwa li ta dulu okudima po omatimba Ovaisrael. Shimwe vali, Jehova okwa popya kutya ngeenge omunhu okwa dipaa oshinamwenyo shokulya, ohonde oku na oku i tilashi noku i fufila nedu, “osheshi omwenyo wombelela keshe ohonde” yayo.

Okulongifwa kwohonde mEfiku lEkwatakanifo nosho yo oshipango shoku i tilashi medu, oi li metwokumwe nelombwelo li na sha nohonde olo Jehova a li a pa Noa noludalo laye. (Gen. 9:3-6) Jehova Kalunga okwa li e va kelela vaha lye ohonde opo ngeno ve lipalule nayo va kale nomwenyo. Osho otashi ti shike kOvakriste?

12. Ongahelipi Paulus a yelifa monhumwafo oyo a li a shangela Ovakriste Ovaheberi ekwatafano olo li li pokati kohonde nokudiminwa po?

¹² Eshi omuyapostoli Paulus a li a shangela Ovakriste Ovaheberi kombinga yeenghono dokukoshola dohonde, okwa yelifa ta ti: “Hanga aishe hai yapulwa nohonde pamhango, nokape nekufile po lomatimba pe he netiko lohonde.” (Heb. 9:22) Paulus okwa popya yo kutya nonande omayambo oinamwenyo okwa li ngoo haa kwafele monghedi yonhumba, okwa li ashike haa dimbulukifa Ovaisrael kutya ove li ovalunde nova pumbwa sha shi dulife pomayambo opo va diminwe po filufilu omatimba avo. Omhango oya li ashike “omudidimbe wongaho wouwa wokomesho, halupe loinima yovene.” (Heb. 10:1-4) Osha enda ngahelipi opo ovanhu va dule okudiminwa po omatimba avo?

13. Ou uditile ngahelipi oushili oo kutya Jesus okwa yandja kuJehova ongushu yohonde yaye?

¹³ Lesha Ovaefeso 1:7. Efyo laJesus Kristus lopayambo, ou e “liyandja ponhele” yetu nehalo liwa, otali ti sha lela kwaaveshe ovo ve mu hole nove hole Xe. (Gal. 2:20) Ashike nande ongaho, osho Jesus a ninga konima yefyo nenyumuko laye osho she tu mangulula, she shi ninga tashi shiiva opo tu diminwe po omatimba etu. Jesus okwa wanifa po osho sha li tashi fanekwa kOmhango yaMoses mEfiku lEkwatakanifo. Mefiku olo, omupristeri omukulunhu okwa  li ha i nohonde yonhumba yoinamwenyo oyo tai yambwa mOuyapukielela metwalihangano, nolwanima omotembeli yaSalomo, noku i twala koshipala shaKalunga, a fa e li naye komudidi. (Lev. 16:11-15) Sha faafana, Jesus okwa ya meulu lo vene nongushu yohonde yaye yopanhu noku i yandja kuJehova. (Heb. 9:6, 7, 11-14, 24-28) Inatu pandula tuu eshi omatimba etu a dimwa po notu na eliudo la yela molwaashi tu na eitavelo tali longo mohonde yaJesus!

14, 15. Omolwashike sha fimana okuuda ko nokudulika komhango yaJehova i na sha nohonde?

¹⁴ Mbela paife ou udite ko nawa kutya omolwashike Jehova e tu lombwela tuha lye ‘ohonde yoludi keshe’? (Lev. 17:10) Mbela ou udite ko etomheno kutya omolwashike Kalunga a tala ko ohonde iyapuki? Kalunga okwa tala ko ohonde i li ngaashi omwenyo. (Gen. 9:4) Owa dimina ngoo kutya otu na okutambula ko etaleko laKalunga li na sha nohonde nokudulika koshipango shaye shoku i lidilika? Ohatu dulu ashike okukala tu na ombili naKalunga ngeenge otu na eitavelo mekuliloyambo laJesus notu udite ko kutya ohonde oi na eityo le likalekelwa kOmushiti wetu. — Kol. 1:19, 20.

¹⁵ Keshe umwe womufye otashi dulika e lihange ombadilila a taalela eyeleko lokutulwa ohonde. Ile omupambele ile kaume koye otashi dulika e lihange ombadilila monghalo omo e na okutokola kutya ota tulwa ohonde ile hasho. Monghalo ya tya ngaho, otu na yo okuninga omatokolo shi na sha noutukulwa vanini ovo va kufwa mohonde nomilandu dopauhaku. Onghee hano, osha fimanenena okuninga omapekapeko nokulilongekidila eenghalo dopaulumomhumbwe. Ngeenge otwa ningi ngaho pamwe neilikano, otashi ke tu kwafela tu kale twa pama nokuhenuka okuhakatuka pandunge moshinima osho. Inatu hala okunyikifa oluhodi omutima waJehova mokutambula ko oshinima osho sha tokolwa mEendjovo daye! Ovashiivinawa voinima yopaunamiti vahapu nosho yo vamwe ovo tava xumifa komesho etulwohonde ohava indile ovanhu va yandje ohonde nelalakano opo ngeno va xupife eemwenyo. Ashike oshiwana shaJehova shiyapuki osha dimina kutya Omushiti oku na oufemba wokuufa kutya ohonde oi na okulongifwa ngahelipi. “Keshe ohonde” okwe i tala ko iyapuki. Otu na okukala twa tokola toko okudulika komhango yaye i na sha nohonde. Okupitila melihumbato letu liyapuki, ohatu ulike kutya otwa pandula filufilu eenghono dokuxupifa dohonde yaJesus, oyo oyo aike ye shi ningifa tashi shiiva opo tu diminwe po omatimba etu notu ka kale nomwenyo waalushe. — Joh. 3:16.

16. Omolwashike oshiwana shaJehova shi na okukala shiyapuki?

¹⁶ Eshi Kalunga a li ta mangulula Ovaisrael moupika waEgipti, okwe va lombwela ta ti: “Aame Omwene, ou nde mu pitifa mo medu laEgipti, opo ndi kale Kalunga keni. Osho ngaha hano nye mu nokukala ovayapuki shaashi Aame omuyapuki.” (Lev. 11:45) Ovaisrael ova li va teelelwa va kale ovayapuki molwaashi Jehova omuyapuki. Tu li Eendombwedi daJehova, nafye otu na okukala ovayapuki. Embo laLeviticus ole tu yelifila nawa oshinima osho.
